After Seven Decades, University’s Butler Tract Is Prepared for Demolition Now that construction of the Lakeside Apartments is completed and graduate students and their families are moving into the new complex on Faculty Road, Princeton University is preparing to demolish the Butler Tract apartments on Harrison Street. The barracks-like development, which was built as temporary housing after World War II but served for almost 70 years as a home for graduate students, will finally meet the wrecking ball in early fall. To address concerns about the demolition and maintenance of the 33-acre site, which is bordered by Hartley Avenue, Sycamore Road, Longview Drive, and South Harrison Street, the University is holding a neighborhood meeting Thursday, July 30 at Lewis Library on the campus, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Members of the project team will be on hand to answer questions. “We’re giving them a forum to ask any questions they might have,” said Kristin Appelget, the University’s director of community and regional affairs. “We’ve sent out a number of letters to neighbors letting them know the project is getting started.” One neighbor, Sally Goldfarb, has been particularly concerned about effects of the demolition. She lives directly across Sycamore Street from the site. “When the buildings are torn down, this will become one of the largest vacant parcels in Princeton,” she said. “The demolition process itself raises serious questions about environmental safety. Due to the age of the buildings, it is likely they contain asbestos and lead paint.” Ms. Appelget said asbestos is anticipated and precautions will be taken. “As with any older construction, we expect asbestos. All remediation work will precede any demolition,” she said, adding that there are no oil tanks on the property. The plan is for existing roads to stay in place after the demolition, Ms. Appelget said. Wood stockade fencing will remain, and gates will be installed at entrances and exits to the site so cars cannot drive through. “It will take us until next spring to complete,” she said. “It will be done slowly and carefully. Once the ground thaws, where the existing apartment buildings are, all will be regraded and we will plant a variety of meadow mixes. It will be left open.” Continued on Page 16

Spring Street Garage Raising Fees, Changing Rules
Patrons of the Spring Street Garage will have some changes to adjust to in coming months. Parking fees at the municipal lot will be raised to prices yet to be determined and go into effect at the beginning of next year. In addition, the two hours of free parking traditionally given to users of Princeton Public Library will be done away with. There is a silver lining: The half-hour of free parking in the lot will be upgraded to a full hour, for everyone. And during the week of September 14, when new equipment is to be installed at the two entrances to the garage, parking will be free, it was announced at Monday night’s meeting of Princeton Council. News about parking was among several topics covered at the meeting. The hiring of consultants on affordable housing, the Princeton Merchants Association’s campaign to reduce the use of plastic bags, and enforcement of rules on brush removal were among the other items on the agenda. The parking gates at the garage, which is located behind the library, have long been problematic. The new equipment will be software-driven rather than hardwaredriven, according to Bob Hough, Princeton’s infrastructure and operations director. The library will no longer be involved in validating parking tickets.
“We want to move away from that,” he said. “Since the garage was built, a decade ago, people have been stopping at the desk for validation even if they were not using the library. A lot of people walk in and out to validate a ticket, and they never take out a book,” he added. “They just come in to punch a ticket. We are losing money in that regard.” A presentation about fee adjustments in the garage will likely be made at the next meeting of Council on August 10. Affordable Housing
The Council voted unanimously to hire two affordable housing consultants and plans to hire a third next year. Maser Consulting will be paid $10,500 to assess vacant land in town and determine whether adjustments are needed for the number of affordable units to be built. Princeton
is required to build 1,000 new affordable units by 2025. The other consultant is Robert Burchell of Rutgers University, who will be paid $231 an hour to arrive at a figure of affordable units the town should have to build. Mr. Burchell was involved in coming up with affordable housing numbers released by the State of New Jersey last year. Those figures, since revised, included a zero obligation for Princeton. At the meeting last night and at a Council meeting last month, some advocates for affordable housing expressed opposition to the hiring of Mr. Burchell, fearing he will recommend a figure that is too low for the number of units the town should be required to provide. The town’s administrator Marc Dashield said a third consultant will analyze the Continued on Page 16
Princeton’s New Animal Control Officer Nate Barson Settles into Monument Hall Princeton’s new Animal Control Officer (ACO), Nate Barson, made a brief appearance at a meeting of the Board of Health last week.

his time with the municipality, Mr. Barson will be attached to the health department and have an office in Monument Hall. “The Princeton Health Department is excited to welcome Nate Barson aboard,” said Health Officer Jeffrey C. Grosser. “Nate offers exemplary knowledge of Continued on Page 6

TOPICS Of the Town The presentation is part of the library’s summer series, “Escape the Ordinary,” which hosts writers, book groups, artists, and guest speakers. The owner of Rare Finds Travel (www.rarefindstravel. com), Ms. Tucker specializes in custom travel itineraries. She caught the travel bug early, when her father got a camper, hooked it up to the family car, and took the family on a road trip out west. “I was seven and I loved it. I still have a huge wanderlust and a huge curiosity.” Some or her trips can be life changing, she said. “An ashram in the Bahamas, for example, is a cleansing, sequestered environment and so quick and easy to get to. We have such stressful lives and even if you love where you live, you can benefit from time away.” “I call it loofah-ing the senses. It doesn’t have to be far or for a long period and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Just think, you can get on a flight to Bangor, Maine, drive to Deer Island, picking up a lobster roll from Madelyn’s en route and show up on the dock for the mail boat to the Isle au Haut. Leave your technology at home and explore the Calendar Islands, so-called because there is one for every day of the year, sleep in the light-
house, bike around the next day.” “At the Library, I’ll be talking about a lighthouse crawl down the California coast, a snowmobile through the bison herds of Yellowstone, and, on the east coast, a secret speakeasy in Savannah, a road trip through the Outer Banks, and a food crawl around Key West… just for starters.” Having traveled to every state in the union and to almost three dozen countries Continued on Next Page

across the globe, Ms. Tucker has discoveries to share. She witnessed the events of Tiananmen Square in 1989, been mesmerized by cobra charmers in a Marrakech souk, hiked a volcano, explored Pompeii, and traveled the Or ient E xpress into Budapest. She’s au fait with South Africa, Alaska, Belize, Turkey, Italy, Key West, Costa Rica, Per u, Paris, Thailand, and is constantly adding new locations to her list. When interviewed for this report, Ms. Tucker had just finished her piece on renting a houseboat on Lake Powell for the Around the World Radio show in Santa Barbara. “It’s gorgeous, the colored rock walls and the aquamarine water, you can pull up onto the beach at night and light a fire and sleep out under the stars; there is absolutely no light pollution, it’s clean, beautiful, expansive, a wonderful family trip.” On air, she’s also de scribed whale watching in Baja where you can “go out at night, drop a microphone into the water and hear the migrating humpbacks, singing. It’s out of this world. If you cross the peninsula between January and April you can visit the place where the gray whales give birth and the newborns come right up to your boat so that you can reach out and touch them.” “This time of year is a great time to get special bargains,” she said. “And right now Cuba is a wonderful and easy getaway.” Like London cabbies, who are known for having “the knowledge,” a hard won set of insider information that they’ve come by through years of driving around the city’s back roads and byways, Ms. Tucker has honed her expertise over years of travel. “I’ve been doing this for two decades. At first I would research and plan for myself and then for friends and neighbors and then I finally realized there was a need for this. So I started my own company about ten years ago. I realized that people want to do something different but don’t necessarily know how to go about it. I can save them time and money!

most anyone can get three nights and four days.” For a fee she will share that knowledge with her clients. One conversation with her is enough to persuade most people that the information provided will be well-worth her fee, which includes access to her book of some 500 to 600 sources, all her knowledge and expertise. There’s an enormous variation in prices for vacations; some people are looking for a five-star experience, others are happy with three. Not all of the trips that she suggests are costly, for example might be a treehouse in Belize for $52 a night. A change is as good as a rest, says the old adage and with trips such as these, the experience challenges your senses so much that it can feel like much longer. Besides, said Ms. Tucker, “a two- or three-night trip can be just enough adventure for someone who is a little concerned about doing something new; it allows them to tip their toe in the water, so to speak.” Recently she went on her ow n dream pursuit t hat found her out on an oyster boat drinking wine and eat-
ing oysters right out of the bay. “After I read about a special oasis in the desert in Tunisia, it captured my imagination and I had to go.” Ms. Tucker’s knowledge extends to truffle-hunting in Umbria; lobster-diving in Belize; home cooking with Berber women; touring the chocolate shops of Paris; exploring the vineyards of South Africa; sleeping high up in the Andes mountains; swimming with 25-foot manta rays off the big island of Hawaii; or spending a few magical days with the Moai statues of Easter Island. “W hen you travel, you open yourself up to incredible experiences,” she said. “So often, people don’t really know how or have time to plan their travel. Chain hotels look the same everywhere; if you wake up in the morning and go to the lobby of your hotel and don’t know immediately where you are, you’re doing it wrong.” Ms. Tucker’s talk will take place in the Princeton Public Library’s Community Room, Thursday, July 30 at 7 p.m. For more on Rare Finds Travel Design, call (609) 923.0304, or visit: http://rarefindstravel.com. —- Linda Arntzenius
Health Officer Updates Board On Hospital Transport, Nail Salons After welcoming Princeton’s new Animal Control Officer Nate Barson to the municipality (see page one story), Health Officer Jeffrey C. Grosser and the rest of the Board got down to business at the Princeton Board of Health’s regular monthly meeting last week. First on the agenda was a discussion of the transportation gap resulting from the cancelation by New Jersey Transit of the 655 bus line local residents use to get to the University Medical Center of Princeton, following the hospital’s move from Witherspoon Street to Plainsboro. “The line will be gone as of the first week of September,” said Mr. Grosser, who had met with hospital administrators earlier in the day. The plan, he said, is to set up an on-demand taxi service as an alternative. Rather than a voucher system, it would work on an honor system. UMCPP would operate the phone for the taxiservice. Anyone going to the hospital would call up and state the time of their appointment. The taxi would pick up residents a minimum of a half hour prior to their appointments. The taxi system would not be used for emergencies, which would still be served by a 911 call. T h e C om m u n it y He a lt h Center and outpatient offices are not open 24/7, so after 7 p.m. any visits to the ER would necessitate a 911 call. But before 7 p.m. an non-emergency trip to the ER could be made by taxi,
which could also be used for clinic walk-in visits. Members of the Board discussed how to get the word out about the new service. Mr. Grosser said that the hospital has offered to pay for flyers. The details would be discussed by members of Princeton Council next month. “It’s important that reside nt s cont i nu e to have acce s s to t h e ho s pit a l, whether for outpatient appointments, to visit a patient in the hospital, or to commute for work,” commented Council member Heather Howard, municipal liaison to the Board of Health. “To that end, the Princeton departments of health and human services have been working with UMCP to ensure that residents of the neighborhood around the hospital still have access to transportation to the hospital, and we will have an announcement soon on a plan,” said Ms. Howard. Nail Salon Ordinance With respect to a new Nail Salon Ordinance for Princeton prompted by a recent New York Times investigative series on the conditions for nail salon workers, Mr. Grosser reported on his research on model ordinances from other jurisdictions. The issue of air quality is one that affects both nail salon workers and customers and the Board agreed to continue researching the issue with a view to having
Skillman H HFurniture
an informed ordinance for Princeton. Currently enforcement is covered by the State Board of Cosmetology said Mr. Grosser, who had discussed the issue with the office of the State Deputy Attorney General. “I have looked at legislation on this and I am impressed by Boston’s, which gets into the nitty gritty of air quality in a way that New Jersey’s does not. We need to think out of the box on this, and find something more comprehensive, with respect to indoor air quality to protect people in Princeton.» According to Mr. Grosser there are currently 26 such facilities in Princeton, 12 of which are nail salons. He noted that 80 percent of nail salon workers are young women of child-bearing age and that the current code stipulates that their work environment should be “wellventilated.” “Boston goes further by requiring specifically engineered air handling ensuring proper changover of fresh air and we want to see air changing over in these places,” said Mr. Grosser, noting that he had statistics on air quality that he would distribute to Board members. The goal for Princeton, he said, was to go provide the protection necessary, to both salon patrons and workers, beyond the current state requirements. One other health issue that was raised concerned the use of formaldehyde in hair treatments (smoothing treatments applied with heat).

This led to a question from a Board member on the scope of the new ordinance. What would it be called? Clearly it must be broad enough to include all places where chemicals were being used and there is a ventilation issue and a potential impact on health. Other Issues Mr. Grosser also mentioned plans for a Pedestrian Safety Awareness Campaign, which is “much needed in Princeton because it is certainly a walking town.” Princeton University was commended for putting in new regulations at its eating clubs. “We consider that an accomplishment,” said Mr. Grosser who had personally visited the eating clubs to push for a stronger nosmoking policy. The University has prohibited smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes, within 25 feet of all workplaces and buildings of public access. The new policy exceeds that for the state of New Jersey, which, as yet, does not define a distance outside of a building in which smoking is permitted. Among other items discussed, including a decline in the number of rabid bats this year compared to last year, Mr. Grosser also announced a food safety course that would be offered to area restaurants in advance of the upcoming norovirus season. As Ms. Howard remarked, the Board “covered a lot at the meeting.” —- Linda Arntzenius

Mr. Barson said that while he would continue his work with other municipalities, his in-house work with Princeton would be his first priority. He plans to maintain his own Animal Control & Investigative Services business, providing animal control services to several municipalities that don’t have an in house animal control officer or have been displeased with their previous services. He said that he has other certified officers who deal with the daily operations of the business. “It was a competitive interview,” said Mr. Grosser. “Nate was the most knowledgeable applicant, he demonstrated that he could think on his feet.” “The quality of ‘thinking on my feet’ is something that helps me every day on every complaint and investigation,” said the new ACO in an subsequent interview with Town Topics. “Being able to communicate effectively and effi ciently allows me to more thoroughly help the residents with their individual concerns. Another part of ‘thinking on my feet’ is understanding that everyone comes from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and adjusting my approach in order to achieve the best possible outcome for each situation.” See-Click-Fix Princeton residents will be able to get in touch with Princeton’s new ACO by using the See-Click-Fix app, which can also used by residents to report concerns that might fall under the auspices of other municipal departments (such as broken parking meters or sidewalk issues). The automated system, which can be used for all non-urgent animal complaints, will record the complaint and provide a response. For urgent matters that fall outside of normal business hours, residents should call the local police department at (609) 921-2100, reserving 911 for emergency calls only. —Linda Arntzenius

Mailbox Council’s Message “Muddled” On Subject Of Princeton’s Status As “Sanctuary City”
To the Editor: The shooting earlier this month of Kathryn Steinle in broad daylight on a popular pedestrian pier in San Francisco has become a matter of national debate. Kathryn’s murderer was an illegal immigrant and seven-time felon who had previously been deported from the United States five times. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez was on his way to a sixth deportation earlier this year, but was instead sent from prison to San Francisco at the request of the Sheriff’s Department to face prosecution in a 1995 drug case. Local prosecutors, however, dropped the drug charge without notice to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and released Lopez-Sanchez onto the streets of San Francisco where he would murder Kathryn Steinle. In a TV jailhouse interview after his arrest for the murder, Lopez-Sanchez admitted killing Steinle and said he knew San Francisco was a “sanctuary city” where he would not be pursued by immigration officials. Sound familiar? It should, because less than two years ago, Democrats on Princeton Council proposed a “sanctuary” plan, barring police from enforcing immigration laws and from cooperating with ICE officials. Councilwoman Heather Howard summed up the Council’s reasoning by saying that local police cooperation with ICE would be “detrimental to both public safety and the peace of mind of Princeton’s growing immigrant community.” Cities such as San Francisco were held up as models of immigration reform. Yet today, we witness the outcome of misguided “progressive” policies and the potential deadly consequences of such a sanctuary scheme to law-abiding Americans. In the aftermath of the San Francisco tragedy, from the politically correct bubble in which Princeton politicians operate, Mayor Liz Lempert doubled down on Princeton’s status as a “sanctuary city.” Rather than an apologia, the public would have been better served by a straightforward statement by the mayor that Princeton will not be a safe haven for alien criminals who constitute a threat to public safety and should be deported. As it now stands, the message is muddled. I keenly appreciate the value and talents immigrants bring to our country. I also agree that our federal immigration policies need to be reformed, but this must be done at the national level, not by municipalities which can wind up sending the wrong message to individuals who would endanger the safety of our communities. “Feelgood” public policy at the local level can have unintended consequences, in the San Francisco instance, the loss of an innocent life and a national backlash which can in the end impact negatively on immigrant communities. DUDLEY SIPPRELLE Chairman, Princeton Republican Committee Nassau Street
greenest building is the one not torn down.’ Updating older buildings can contribute significantly to our town’s goals of sustainability. Our codes need to be improved to insure that demolition is not the only viable option.” Princeton’s situation is similar. (We also have lost many beautiful and sustaining trees through teardowns.) What are Princeton’s goals of sustainability? Perhaps this exchange will illuminate what the goals are regarding housing. I acknowledge that such new construction will continue, but when it does the community should benefit. Why not increase the water hookup or other fees paid to Princeton to $50,000? Our local government could earmark that money for affordable housing. Such a strategy is in place in other communities that care about both affordable housing and retaining a mix of income groups in their towns. I agree with the Solomons that the sentiments expressed in the article by current and former local government officials are worrisome, but I think their appearance may provide an opportunity to open a conversation about a trend toward destruction of existing stock that at least some residents deplore.

Expensive New Houses in Middle-Class Neighborhoods Add to Tax Revenues
Parents who can’t earn paid sick time are more than twice as likely to send a sick child to school or daycare, endangering students, teachers, and staff. In 2013 over 40 percent of the students at Eagleswood Elementary School in Ocean County contracted norovirus, forcing the school to shut down for days. A growing body of evidence suggests that allowing workers to earn sick days can also provide real savings for businesses and our local economy. Workers forced to come to work sick stay sick longer, are less productive and can infect their co-workers. Nationally our economy loses $160 billion a year to this kind of ‘presenteeism’ -- more than the cost of absenteeism. Workers without earned sick days are 40 percent more likely to delay medical care, turning treatable conditions into more serious and costly ones. Unsurprisingly they are also more likely to use the emergency room – contributing to New Jersey’s more than 1 million annual emergency room visits that would be entirely avoidable with timely primary care. Finally, jurisdictions that have passed similar laws around the country are doing well. Jersey City, Seattle and San Francisco are gaining jobs faster than neighbors that lack similar policies. Connecticut enacted the first statewide earned sick time law, and the Department of Labor reports measurable gains in the sectors most impacted by the new law. Passing the earned sick time ordinance would help keep Princeton’s families, businesses and local economy healthy. We urge the Council to pass this critical legislation as soon as possible. CHARLES ROJER, MD Princeton Board of Health, Chair Monument Hall One Monument Drive
To the Editor: I would like to offer an additional point of view regarding Princeton’s new, typically large housing stock. Many of these new houses are built in middle-class neighborhoods having smaller, comfortably sized houses. The very expensive new houses add to tax revenues and exclude people with middle-class incomes. The two new houses under construction on Valley Road, call to mind dairy barns and stand far above their neighbors. I know many people prefer the appearance of a capacious new house, but I wish that neighborhood context were considered more.

China Lifts International Travel Ban For Zodiac Circle Sculptor Ai Weiwei After a four-year ban that prevented him from all international travel and kept him from visiting Princeton in 2012, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei has had his passport returned to him. Last week, Mr. Ai posted a photo of himself on Instagram holding the document, which had been confiscated by Chinese authorities following the artist’s outspoken remarks on number of national scandals, including collapse of badly-constructed schools during a 2008 earthquake. Mr. Ai was detained by authorities for about three months in 2011. Although no charges were brought against him, he was slapped with a $2.4 million tax bill, which he fought unsuccessfully in Chinese courts. The artist’s work is represented in Princeton by 12 monumental sculptures, Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads, that were installed at the University’s Scudder Plaza, in front of the Woodrow Wilson School. “The Art Museum joins the international artistic community in celebrating the Chinese government’s return of Ai Weiwei’s passport to him,” said Princeton University Art Museum Director James Steward. “Between this act and a new exhibition of the artist’s work taking place in Beijing, it appears that the Chinese
government is showing more tolerance in his regard, and we are delighted by this and by the newfound peace the artist has expressed feeling in response.” The internationally re spected artist, architectural designer, curator and social activist is one of China’s most prolific and controversial dissidents. He collaborated on the design of the Beijing Olympic Stadium, or “Bird’s Nest,” for the 2008 Olympic Games; and exhibited works at the Tate Modern in London. He is expected to travel to the U.K. in September to view a major exhibition of his work a the Royal Academy of Arts. “This makes it possible to revisit our hopes of bringing him to the Princeton campus, in partnership with the Woodrow Wilson School, while his Zodiac Heads remain on our campus,” said Mr. Steward. Mr. Ai was due to visit Princeton in October of 2012 for a day of student and community events in celebration of his art and dedication to human rights. Without his passport the artist was unable to attend. In Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads, Mr. Ai draws inspiration from sculptures that once adorned the fountain clock at Yuan m ing Yuan, an imperial retreat

Mr. Steward has described them as “at once playful and provocative,” a means to considering “the role of the visual arts in the politics of resistance.” E ach s cu lpt u re repre sents a signs of the zodiac (snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog, pig, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, and dragon). The pieces were originally designed by Italian artist Giuseppe Castiglione in the mid-18th century and were looted in 1860 when France and Britain invaded China. Of the 12 figures, only seven are known to have survived. Five have been repatriated to China, but ownership of the remaining two remains contested. Mr. Ai’s re-envisioning of the figures draws attention to the issues of authenticity, ownership, repatriation and cultural heritage. According to a press release at the time of the installation on the University campus, “By reinterpreting art commissioned by a Qing dynasty emperor, designed by an Italian artist, engineered by a French Jesuit mathematician, and accessible only to the elite circles of 18th-century Chinese society—and then sending the resultant sculptures on a worldwide tour—the artist complicates conversations about repatriation, shared cultural her itage and contemporary expectations regarding the democratization of art and public space.” The sculptures will be on view through December 4, 2016; the exhibition is part of a world tour of the work, which has appeared in

NJ Arts Education Partnership Becomes Independent Nonprofit
After eight years operating as a program within other groups, the New Jersey Arts Education Partnership (NJAEP) has incorporated to become an indepen dent non-profit focused on bringing the benefits of an education in the arts to every student in every school across the state. While the legal structure may be new, the organization’s work is not. Es-
tablished in 2007 following years of planning and input by arts and education leaders statewide, NJAEP was created to be the unified voice for arts education. The core beliefs that shaped the Partnership’s beginning remain the same today: a) arts education is essential to basic knowledge and a fundamental right of every citizen in our schools and across our communities, and b) the collective voice of diverse stakeholders is the most effective means for advancing the arts in education. Launched in conjunction with the release of the first-ever Arts Education Census Report, the Partnership’s first task was to
focus on carrying out the recommendations of the Report. To date, the efforts of NJAEP have led to increased access to arts education for more than 75,000 students. Since it s fou nd ing in 2007, NJAEP has had a significant impact on arts education across the state. It continues to strive for its original vision: arts education for every child, every day, every school, every year. As an independent organization, it will continue to raise the bar, and champion arts education for every child at every stage of learning. For more information, visit: www.artsednj. org.

Margaret Hofer
Margaret K. Hofer to Lead NYHS Museum Division
Princeton resident Margaret “Margi” Hofer has been appointed as Vice President and Director of the Museum Division at the New-York Historical Society. With more than two decades of service, Ms. Hofer has contributed to or overseen New-York Historical’s decorative arts collections and exhibitions. She spearheaded the groundbreaking 2007 exhibition and publication “A New Light on Tiffany: Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls,” which revealed previously unrecognized achievements of Tiffany Studios’ women designers. “New York’s first museum has been fortunate to have had Margaret K. Hofer as a leading decorative arts historian and curator,” said Louise Mirrer, President and CEO of the New-York Historical Society. “She has been an exceptional partner in developing a new Tiffany gallery and other permanent collection re-installations, which will star alongside a new women’s history center when our Henry Luce III Center reopens in early 2017.” Ms. Hofer stated, “It has been an adventure working with one of the finest holdings of decorative arts and historical artifacts in the United States, including a stellar collection of early American silver and the largest collection of Tiffany lamps in the world,
not to mention a superb staff, president, and board. I look forward to collaborating with this team to guide our exhibitions program, invigorate our collecting, and create initiatives that bring our collections to broader audiences.” Pam Schafler, Chair of the Board of Trustees, added: “Margi and I share the experience of first becoming acquainted with the New-York Historical Society through scholarly research. Each of us has been a witness to this institution’s rebirth—not only as a respected center for research and learning, but as a first-rate destination for the museum-going public. Her superb record of publication, contagious enthusiasm for our collections, and thoughtful leadership exemplify every project she has undertaken.” Since joining the New-York Historical Society in 1993, Ms. Hofer has organized more than 15 exhibitions. “Making It Modern: The Folk Art Collection of Elie and Viola Nadelman,” an upcoming traveling exhibition co-curated with Roberta J.M. Olson, will open in September at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History in New Mexico before its marquee presentation at the New-York Historical Society (May 20, 2016 to August 21, 2016). Ms. Hofer is the author of five exhibition catalogues: Making It Modern: The Folk Art Collection of Elie and Viola Nadelman (2015, with Roberta J.M. Olson); Stories in Sterling: Four Centuries of Silver in New York (2011); A New Light on Tiffany: Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls (2007, with Martin Eidelberg and Nina Gray); The Games We Played: The Golden Age of Board and Table Games (2003); and Seat of Empire (2002, also with Dr. Olson). She has contributed to numerous journals and magazines—including Antiques and Antiques & Fine Art—and regularly lectures at conferences and museums across the country. Ms. Hofer received her B.A. from Yale University and M.A. from the University of Delaware’s Winterthur Program
in Early American Culture. She has previously worked at the International Center of Photography, taught courses at New York University, and consulted for other cultural institutions in the region. Decorative arts holdings at the New-York Historical Society include the world’s largest collection of Tiffany lamps, the Jerni Collection of antique toys and trains, the pioneering folk art collection assembled by Elie and Viola Nadelman, and one of the most comprehensive collections of early New York silver.

DREAMS OF DAWN: That’s the title of the newest exhibition at Gallery 353, 353 Nassau Street, Princeton, which opens with a reception Saturday, August 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. The show features local artist Nancy Dawn Merrill whose 36 x 48 inch rendering of “Maeve, Warrior Queen” is shown above. Ms. Merrill’s evocative figures and lush compositions are descried as “bold and colorful, and gush from a spring of ‘pure imagination.’” Also on display in the Gallery is “California Colors,” an ongoing presentation of Heather Sturt Haaga’s plein air and still life works. The gallery is entered from the parking lot at the rear of the building. For more information, visit: www.facebook.com/ Gallery 353.
Causes Worth Fighting For — Spain’s Beautiful Season, England’s Finest Hour I recognized it immediately as a state of affairs worth fighting for. — George Orwell, from Homage to Catalonia friend who went to Antioch College tells of arriving as a freshman to find himself confronted on a dormitory stairway by a stunningly lovely girl holding a pail of water, shouting, “Would you have fought in Spain?” Taking into account the water, the stairway, and the girl, he answered in the affirmative and was allowed to pass. George Orwell, who fought in Spain and wrote about it in Homage to Catalonia (1938), found something more rewarding than the chance to fight fascism: “Up here in Aragon one was among tens of thousands of people...all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality. In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it... Many of the normal motives of civilized life—snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.—had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England.” Living in the Subject The title of Roger Yates’s The Beautiful Season: A Story of the Spanish Revolution (Bloomdido paper $7.68) comes by way of Robert Desnos’s poem, “Song for the Beautiful Season,” which is spoken in the epilogue by a homosexual anarchist who learned it by heart after hearing Desnos recite “strange poems” all through the night at Auschwitz. “Robert pitted poetry against Auschwitz,” says the anarchist, “and poetry triumphed!” This instance of poetry’s transcendent power proclaimed on the 60th anniversary of the Revolution, July 20, 1996, haunts Yates’s reimagining of the idyll of equality described by Orwell. No wonder: Yates is a poet who has been posting his rich and various work online for almost four years. His adventure in narrative followed a pair of poems, “Orwell in Catalonia” (“This bristling man/ His head above the parapet/Stands at the centre of an explosion”), and his own “Beautiful Season” (“When we find our hearts/When we find our reckless hearts/ When we peel away the layers/And find the void/And sow it with our love/And plant it with our liberty”). Knowing that no poem could satisfy the passion to “be there,” to inhabit the period, he brought the essence of what he knew of the subject into the action, the act of writing a “personal revolution,” as he puts it, “an under-gunned and evanescent” reflection of the reality, a dream hovering between fiction and history that took him just under a month and 200 pages to complete. According to the author’s note, 79 years ago this month “as many as eight million people cooperated to build a society without hierarchy, with no government, state, police, army, church, financial institutions.... Within a few weeks agriculture and industry were collectivised and run by the workers through their trade unions,” and women “achieved a level of equality
A
not seen to this day.” For Yates, his is “the story of a short-lived experiment in freedom.” Enlightened Nostalgia There’s a common strain of enlightened nostalgia at work in Yates’s unadorned, evocative reimagining of the “state of affairs” George Orwell thought “worth fighting for” and the brilliantly rendered portrait of the brightest and darkest extremes of life on the British home front in Anthony Horowitz’s series, Foyle’s War, which began on ITV and PBS in 2002 and ran until January of this year. In the show’s dynamic, the “money-tainted air” and snobbish class-divided English society Orwell contrasted to “perfect equality” becomes a foil to set off the courage and pluck of a people unified by a life-or-death crisis in which perpetrators at the lowest and more often highest levels keep Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle ( Michael K itchen ) occu pied. The pluck and courage are present in radiant abundance in the person of his comely drive r, S a m a n t h a Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks) of the MTC (Mechanized Transport C or ps ) , b e t ter known as Sam. While the series revolves around the ingenious low-key sleuthing of Foyle, Sam is its shining light, its British rose, steadfast and fearless, the clearest personification of all the good, “the best and brightest,” that’s at stake, whether she’s in uniform (as she usually is) or out dancing or standing up to a drunken pistol-waving soldier in a pub or working in the fields with the Land Girls. That Sam is DCS Foyle’s driver makes sense since it’s she who keeps the series headed in the right direction. Horowitz says her character is based on a governess who had been a driver in the Woman’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), but the spirit she brings to the story reminded me of another famously companionable Sam — the one whose jaunty entrance into Dickens’s Pickwick Papers lifted sales to unheardof heights and made Sam Weller a housebold name. Captivated by Marina Roger Yates came to The Beautiful Season after an obsessive plunge into Orwell’s writings, Murray Bookchin’s The Spanish Anarchists, Burnett Bolloten’s Spanish Civil War, numerous biographies (notably Abel Paz on Buenaventura Durruti) and personal narratives, not to mention documentary films like Living Utopia: The Anarchists & the Spanish Revolution and Jorge Ivens’s The Span-
ish Earth; amid all this reading and viewing, the online universe gave him instant access to revolutionary movements from Tahrir Square in Cairo to the Zapatistas in Chiapas to Kurdish YPG currently being shelled by the Turkish army in Kobani. What finally set everything into creative motion, however, was the photograph of a seductive-looking 17-year-old woman named Marina Ginestà taken on top of Hotel Colón in Barcelona on 21 July 1936, at the dawn of the Revolution. She seems to be saying, “Here I am, a rifle slung over my shoulder, armed and ready, and where are you, my friend?” Ginestà, who died in January 2014 at 94, recalled the moment in an interview in her late eighties: “They say that in the Colón photo I have a captivating look. It’s possible, because we were immersed both in the mysticism of the proletarian revolution and the images of Hollywood, of Greta Garbo and Gary Cooper.” Born in France and brought up in Spain, Ginestà joined the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia and was working not as soldier but as a typist and translator for a Soviet journalist. This did not lessen the political charisma of the photo nor its prominence as a symbol of the revolution and the inspiration for Libertad, the heroine of The Beautiful Season. Known throughout the novel as Freedom, Marina’s fictional counterpart is the daughter of a libertarian poacher and has been handy with firearms since she was a child. An Aragonese anarcha feminist and member of the libertarian women’s organization Mujeres Libres, Freedom doesn’t waste time, scoring three kills in the opening chapter. “You hit him,” one of her comrades says and shakes her hand. She asks for a cigarette, feeling “suddenly very tired. She might have just killed a frightened boy. He would have killed her if he could, but it was no consolation.” For a moment she thinks she’s going to cry, and then hears herself say, “We carry a new world in our hearts,” the words of anarchist hero Buenaventura Durruti, whose death and burial form the denouement of The Beautiful Season. There was, by the way, a real-life Freedom named Libertad Rodenas (1893-1970) who fought at the front, took part in the capture of Pina Del Ebro, and later helped with the evacuation of 600 children from Aragon to Barcelona. Like Freedom in the novel, she joined Mujeres Libres. Besides

JUDITH BUDWIG
taking part in literacy campaigns at the House of The Working Women, where hundreds were taught to read and write, she joined in the activities of International Antifascist Solidarity (SIA), in particular the evacuation of children from Madrid. On the Knife’s Edge In Foyle’s War, Hastings is very much a city of working women, whether as welders or in classified government projects or on high-risk munitions assembly lines or as drivers like Sam Stewart who excels in high-speed pursuits while doubling as a mechanic and tiller of the soil as well as a reader of comics to a shell-shocked little boy. The stress on female presence and wartime solidarity makes Sam the true protagonist, the Freedom of Horowitz’s story and the object of more than one near-death experience, with nowhere to sleep but at the police station when a German bomb destroys the house she was living in and kills her roommate. The five days in May 1940 that inspired England’s finest hour are described by Foyles War creator Anthony Horowitz in a PBS interview, as “the five most extraordinary and exceptional days this country has had in its entire history: where we were on the knife’s edge, where domination by the Nazis seemed certain, where the war was practically over....Why are the British so fixated by the Second World War all these years later? I think it’s because we found something in ourselves, and in our character, and in our national resolve that we have never really found again.” Horowitz’s interest in the war led to the genesis of a new kind of whodunit, which became possible “if one started looking at murder at a time when murder was at its lowest currency, when it was at its least important.... How can you investigate one dead body in a library in Hastings, when on the same day five thousand people are being killed fifty miles away?” Orwell Sees Freedom In the epilogue to The Beautiful Season, when Freedom, “tall, upright, and still strikingly beautiful,” tells an old comrade “We never really existed, did we?” the author begs to differ, quoting a passage from Homage to Catalonia in which George Orwell describes an “anarchist patrol car, bristling with weapons” and seated beside the driver “a beautiful dark-haired girl of about eighteen” with “a submachine gun across her knees.” n case anyone wonders what happened to the boy and girl at Antioch, let’s say he asked her out, she enlightened him as best she could about what he would have been fighting for in Spain, they fell in love, moved to Berkeley in the days of the Free Speech Movement, and split up in the Summer of Love. —Stuart Mitchner Roger Yates’s poetry is at http : // rogeryates.blogspot.co.uk. The novel is available through amazon, lulu, and facebook.

better living Porta Via, Latest Procaccini Brothers Restaurant, Opens at Former Cox’s Nassau Street Location
A
popular new gathering place has just opened in town, and customers are lining up to check it out. Porta Via, located at 180 Nassau Street (the former location of the longtime Cox’s Market), is the latest venture of the Procaccini brothers, John and Tino, and their partner Zissis (“Zi”) Pappas, who are rapidly establishing a reputation as up and coming restaurateurs and entrepreneurs in the Princeton area. This is their eighth establishment. They also own P.J.’s Pasta and Pancake House in Princeton and West Windsor, Osteria Procaccini in Princeton, Pennington, and Crosswicks, and North End Bistro and Dolceria, both in Princeton. “We try to choose historic towns for our locations, such as Princeton, Kingston, Pennington and Crosswicks,” points out John Procaccini. Convivial Dining And, indeed, the Procaccini brothers and Mr. Pappas have worked hard to create unique and convivial dining experiences for their customers. “A friendly knowledgeable staff, customer service, and quality food are a priority for us. People know they can
count on us. It’s our experience and reputation,” says Mr. Procaccini. “Porta Via, which actually means ‘to take away’ in Italian, came out of the success of our osterias, which focus on organic and natural ingredients. We call it our Italian Cafe, and who knows it may become our franchise! It’s the first of this concept: a quick service restaurant offering healthy, affordable food.” It has been quite a journey for John and Tino Procaccini since — at the ages of 24 and 21 — they first opened La Borgata Ristorante & Pizzeria (later known as La Principessa) in the Kingston Mall on Route 27 in 1999. This was followed by Sotto Ristorante (later the Princeton Sports Bar & Grill), Osteria Procaccini, P.J.’s Pasta and Pancake House, and North End Bistro. They discovered their passion for the restaurant business, with Tino as chef and John handling the business end and “front of the house”. “We never really envisioned where we are today,” says Mr. Procaccini. “It just evolved, and we continue to learn with all our different experiences. Our business motivation is diversification. We offer something for everyone. You can
go to P.J.’s or Porta Via for breakfast and to the Osteria or North End Bistro for lunch and dinner. We have people who come to each of our restaurants every day.” The partners are delighted with the enthusiastic response to Porta Via. “It has been great, more than we anticipated We never expected so many customers so soon,” reports Mr. Pappas. “They are all ages, corporate and business people, students, University faculty and administration — a real mix of people. They’re coming first thing in the morning to get a breakfast sandwich, then for lunch, and some are stopping in after work to take something home.” SUCCESS STORY: ‘There is really nothing else like this in town: a quick service restaurant (QSR) Natural and Healthy offering healthy, organic, and affordable food.

data provided by the other two consultants and the Fair Share Housing Center, and would come up with an independent number. Council president Bernie Miller defended the idea of hiring the three consultants, pointing out that affordable housing is the most important issue the town will wrestle with this year and
probably next year. “We have to come up with a number and be prepared to defend that number as a realizable number in front of the court,” he said. “That’s why we’re taking a multi-pronged approach.” Plastic Bags Announced late last week, the Princeton Merchants Association’s campaign to reduce the use of plastic bags was given a formal presentation at the meet-

ing. The goal is to encourage the reduction, reuse, and recycling of single-use plastic bags. Merchants are being encouraged to ask customers if they need a bag, and shoppers will be encouraged to bring their own bags. Bins will be placed throughout town for residents and businesses to collect and recycle plastic bags. John Marshall, president of the Princeton Merchants Association, and Diane Landis, executive director of Sustainable Princeton, made a presentation about the program. Current participants include McCaffrey’s Food Market, the Princeton University Store, the Whole Earth

Center, Craft Cleaners, Sustainable Princeton, the Princeton Senior Resource Center, and the town of Princeton. Public collection and recycling of the bags is currently in place at McCaffrey’s and the Princeton University Store. As part of the new campaign, new containers will be placed at different locations around town. These containers will allow recycling not only of plastic grocery bags, but also newspaper and bread bags, food storage plastic bags, dry cleaning bags, and plastic wrap. McCaffrey’s will soon be selling BagSavR receptacles to encourage shoppers to collect plastics, and then bring them to any local collection container. “This has been a wonderful collaborative effort that I hope you’ll see more of in the future,” Ms. Landis said. Brush Collection Residents who have not responded to notices informing them that piles of leaves and brush left too far into the roadway must be removed will be subject to summons if they do not take appropriate action, Mr. Hough told Council. Princeton has been divided into five sections for collection of brush, log, loose and bagged leaf collection. Brush cannot be left in the municipal right-of-way. Seventy-five percent of the households in violation have removed the materials. In sections one and two, the Department of Public Works handed out more than 200 violation notices, Mr. Hough said. In three weeks since, 80 percent of the piles have been cleared. “As of 3 p.m. today, there are 20 left,” he said. “If they don’t remove [the piles] within 72 hours, we’ll move to an enforcement issue.” For a schedule of upcoming collections, residents can visit the town’s website at www. princetonnj.gov or call (609) 497-7639. —Anne Levin

Butler Tract continued from page one
There is no current plan to build at the site. Its future is being considered as part of the University’s ongoing 2026 campus planning effort. In the short term, the school plans to use the area for intermittent overflow event parking. This worries Ms. Goldfarb. “They have announced they are planning to leave the land vacant after they remove the buildings, but they are currently planning to leave the roads, sidewalks and streetlights in place,” she said. “As a result, this will become a big, unsightly vacant lot in the middle of a residential neighborhood.” Ms. Goldfarb thinks the best solution is to remove the roads and fence around the perimeter and turn the land into an open field, “like the fields on Broadmead,” she said. “Currently the University is not planning to pursue that option. Instead, they are proposing to leave it in this rather unsightly state and maintain the fencing.” T he Butler Tract first opened at Christmas, 1946, on what was formerly the University’s polo field. As a child, renowned author and Princeton professor John McPhee watched construction of Butler, saying farewell to “polo — yes, the whole chukker, students in jodphurs, the horse latitudes,” according to The Princeton Alumni Weekly. At first, the small frame houses served as home to married returnees from World War II. But from the 1960s on, Butler has been graduate student territory. Butler apartments came in two sizes: 670 and 454 square feet. The complex offered the cheapest campus housing: $40 a month in 1950, $110 in 1980, and $828 in 2013, according to the alumni magazine. Stories about leaky floors, faulty heating, and paper-thin walls are legend, but former residents have been known to express nostalgia for their years in the development. Once the buildings start to come down, the University will continue to monitor the site “regularly, both during and after the demolition” according to a letter the University sent to neighbors who live within 200 feet of the site.
“The University said they’ll maintain some patrols but clearly they will be intermittent, and that’s not sufficient,” said Ms. Goldfarb. “To have a lot surrounded by fencing where no one can see what’s going on inside is a potential magnet for undesirable activity. I don’t think any urban planner would advocate such a plan.” Demolition will be carried out in stages and will take place over several months, according to Ms. Appelget. Some trees that could become unstable will be taken down. “We will use this as an opportunity to look at trees on the full site, some of which are in decline,” she said. The neighborhood meeting is Thursday, July 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Lewis Library Bowl 138, at the corner of Ivy Lane and Washington Road. Parking is available in the University lots on Ivy Lane, across from Lewis Library. —Anne Levin
Police Everyone in Family Safe After Canoe Overturns In Delaware-Raritan Canal
On July 25, at 5:06 p.m., West Windsor Police and Princeton First Aid Water Rescue Unit responded to Alexander Road at Turning Basin Park for an overturned canoe in the Delaware-Raritan Canal. A 40-year-old female victim reported that a canoe containing her 42-year-old husband and small child overturned in the canal. She and her child managed to get into a nearby friend’s canoe and paddle safely to shore. The husband managed to upright his overturned canoe and get in but lost his way paddling back to the park. He was located one mile away from Turning Basin Park, safe and uninjured. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released. On July 20, at 2:08 p.m., a 35-year-old male from Marlton was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Mercer Street. On July 23, at 10:41 a.m., a 22-year-old female from Philadelphia was arrested for hindering apprehension after giving false identifying information to a police officer, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Rosedale Road.

She was transported to University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro.

They were released to their parents.
Durang and Stoppard Lampoon Absurdities in the Theater World In Princeton Summer Theater Staging of Two Hilarious One-Acts
P
rinceton Summer Theater’s double bill of one-acts, The Actor’s Nightmare (1981) by Christopher Durang and The Real Inspector Hound (1968) by Tom Stoppard, is an insider’s delight with both plays set in a theater, both plays about plays, performances and actors (and, in the latter case, critics too). The highly skilled young performers of these brilliantly clever works at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus through August 2, enjoy themselves immensely in their madcap endeavors, and the enjoyment inexorably spreads through the loudly laughing audience. The evening might be light on profundities, moral issues or serious social commentary. Though, in the first play, there is certainly psychological insight into the mind of the panicked actor whose “nightmare” involves his being thrust on stage to perform in a role he’s never rehearsed, and, in The Real Inspector Hound, into the minds of the two pretentious, selfabsorbed, obsessive critics watching an Agatha-Christie-like whodunit murder mystery, the psychology does not probe too deep and the satire is gentle. Mr. Durang and Mr. Stoppard are holding up their mirrors to nature, in particular to human nature as it manifests itself in the world of theater. These mirrors are fun house mirrors and the images are hilarious. This is not the bitingly harsh lampoon of Mr. Durang at his most vitriolic (as in Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All, for example), nor the philosophical depth of Stoppard at his most profound (as in Arcadia or Coast of Utopia, for example). Mr. Durang at age 66 and Mr. Stoppard at 78 are two of the greatest playwrights of the past half century, masters of wit and wordplay and among the funniest scriptwriters of all time. In addition to the titles mentioned above, Mr. Durang’s most successful plays include Vanya Sonya, Masha and Spike, Betty’s Summer Vacation, The Marriage of Bette and Boo and Beyond Therapy. Mr. Stoppard’s many other memorable creations include Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, The Real Thing and the screenplay for Shakespeare in Love. But the humor of The Actor’s Nightmare and of The Real Inspector Hound represents each playwright at his best, and these two plays, under the dynamic, imaginative, at times zany direction of Brad Wilson, complement each other admirably. The Actor’s Nightmare wastes no time igniting the action, then ratcheting up the anxiety and humor. George (Evan Thompson), an accountant, suddenly, inexplicably, finds himself in a theater, accosted by the stage manager (Caroline Hertz), who tells him he must go on stage in a few minutes. She disappears and the pace quickens as the stage manager leaves and actors appear with increasing urgency. They seem to know George and to assume he knows them and knows the role he will be play-
ing, but George, costumed now as Hamlet, remains mystified. As the curtain rises for the play(s)-within-the-play, George—alternately plucky, perplexed and panicked—forges ahead bravely, trying to probe his memory for every line he can recall, from plays, speeches, novels and eventually even from the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Occasionally he even manages to deliver a line or two that his fellow actors can respond to. The play-within-the play at first seems to be Noel Coward’s Private Lives, then suddenly shifts to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, then Samuel Beckett’s End Game, then Happy Days — and finally Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons. The audience shares George’s confusion and desperation as the action accelerates, the allusions fly fast and furious, and he struggles to keep up. Though unfortunate George is in over his head from the start, Mr. Thompson is
Brady as “another actress, not as grand,” especially amusing in her absurd Beckettian roles and Ross Baron as a highly stylized “grand actor” play off the protagonist effectively, exacerbate his sense of confusion and help to deliver an abundance of laughs during the frenetic, fast-pace action leading up to the dramatic finale. The Real Inspector Hound, following immediately in a remarkably efficient transition, begins in what appears to be a more realistic setting: another theater, but this time we find ourselves in the company of a theater critic, Moon (the extraordinary Mr. Thompson again!), sitting in his seat, waiting for the start of a play, a murder mystery. Highly nervous, insecure and loquacious, Moon is obsessed with being the second-string critic, on assignment only as a stand-in for the lead critic Higgs. (“The cry goes up from hill to hill—Where—is— Higgs?”)
NIGHTMARES GALORE—Poor George (Evan Thompson), dressed for Hamlet, finding himself in a scene from Noel Coward and completely unprepared for either, struggles to ad lib an appropriate response for his counterpart (Bits Sola) in Princeton Summer Theater’s production of Christopher Durang’s The Actor’s Nightmare, the first of two comedic one-acts (followed by Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound) playing at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus through August 2. not. He plays the leading role with appealing style, credibility and panache. His reactions are certainly extreme, but the style suits this fantastical play, and he readily draws the audience into his plight, winning our sympathy and laughter. His supporting actors, all in larger-thanlife roles, maintain an effective balance, playing their broad farcical roles to the hilt without going over the top. Ms. Hertz’s fiery-tempered stage manager, Bits Sola’s “grand actress” in multiple roles, Maeve
Moon is soon joined by Birdboot (Ross Baron), another critic, pompous, pretentious, this one obsessed with his box of chocolates, his reputation and his amorous interests in one of the cast members. Mr. Stoppard started his career in England as a journalist and drama critic, and, even though he claims, “I was an awful critic,” his creation of these characters is spot-on, delightfully ridiculous and mocking, but at the same time close enough to realistic to be thoroughly engaging. As the critics settle in, the lights rise
Princeton Summer Theater’s production of The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang and The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard will run for one more weekend, July 30 to August 2, with performances Thursday through Saturday at 8pm and Saturday and Sunday at 2pm in the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus.

on the set for a stereotypical whodunit melodrama, modeled on Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. Muldoon Manor is cut off from the outside world, a special radio broadcast reports a killer on the loose, and we can even see a dead body “hidden” under the settee in the living room. The legendary Inspector Hound will soon be on his way to solve the mystery. The parody here is superb, as extreme melodrama on the set interweaves with the obsessive and pompous commentary of Moon and Birdboot. Sarah Cuneo as Mrs. Drudge the housekeeper specializes in: 1) providing and spoofing the delivery of the contrived exposition (“Hello, the drawing-room of Lady Muldoon’s country residence one morning in early spring… this is all very mysterious and I’m sure it’s leading up to something…”); and 2) repeatedly presenting her shocked, fearful gasp, as she just happens to overhear various characters threatening murderous deeds. Ms. Sola as Felicity Cunningham and Ms. Brady as Lady Cynthia Muldoon are memorably melodramatic, funny and in character in their fatal rivalry for the affections of the enigmatic interloper and cad Simon Gascoyne (Phil Rosen). Magnus Muldoon (David Drew), the heavily disguised wheelchair-ridden half-brother of Lady Muldoon’s husband who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago, proves to be “leading a double life—at least!” and Dan Caprera as Hound enters the scene with great flourish in the last third of the play. The finale here is a tour de force—of performance and of Stoppardian comic playwriting—as the plot tangles further, first Moon then Birdboot crosses onto the stage and becomes inextricably and fatally interwoven into the drama of Muldoon Manor, as identities shift and melodramatic twists and meta-twists proliferate. Mr. Wilson’s sure hand keeps the energy high, the pace moving and the action focused and as clear as possible. Jeffrey Van Velsor’s designs successfully and economically provide the appropriate background for these chaotic shenanigans, and, along with Eric Falcon’s lighting and Joseph Haggerty’s sound--both luridly melodramatic, sharpen the parody and heighten the melodrama. Caitlin Brown’s costumes, for both plays, are on target and helpful in bringing these characters and their peculiar circumstances to life. f you’re an actor or other theater insider or a critic or a fan of whodunits, these two one-act masterpieces will have particular resonance for you, but this wild and wacky 90-minute production is replete with wisdom, hilarity and non-stop entertainment, whether you identify the numerous allusions or just sit back and enjoy the ride. —Donald Gilpin

Shades of “Face/Off” in Brain Transplant Science-Fiction Thriller
I
n the 1997 movie Face/Off, an FBI agent underwent a face transplant in order to crack a terrorist plot. It’s hard not to think of that film while watching Self/ Less which is about another radical surgical procedure, namely the implantation of a cancer patient’s brain inside the cranium of a healthy individual. The picture stars Sir Ben Kingsley as Damian Hale, a terminally ill business tycoon who doesn’t want to die. His prayers are answered when a scientist, Dr. Albright (Matthew Goode), appears who, for 250 million dollars, says he can transfer Damian’s brain into the head of a test tube human surrogate grown in his laboratory. Of course Damian won’t be able to tell anyone about the experimental operation, which means he’ll have to give up his friends and abandon any hope of reconciling with his estranged daughter Claire (Michelle Dockery). Nevertheless, he agrees to the operation and wakes up in the recovery room in a new body. While convalescing, the new Damian reads his obituary in the paper and refrains from contacting any friends or relatives in order to avoid any problems. Instead, he marvels at his miraculous transformation.
Before discharging Damian, Dr. Albright gives him his new identity and a supply of anti-rejection pills. Upon returning to the real world, Damian becomes giddy when he discovers his prowess on the basketball court, his impressive physique, and his good looks. What the reincarnated real estate magnate doesn’t know, however, is that the brain transplant wasn’t really transplanted into a recently harvested donor. The plot thickens when he discovers that his alter ego Edward Kittner (Ryan Reynolds) not only actually once existed, but also left behind a wife (Natalie Martinez) and a six year-old daughter (Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen). Directed by Tarsem Singh (The Cell), Self/Less is sufficiently compelling to recommend, even though the story is not very original. Besides the aforementioned movie Face/Off, the movie borrows ideas from Seconds, a similar 1966 science fiction film. Very Good (★★★). Rated PG-13 for profanity, sexuality, and violence. Running time: 117 minutes. Distributor: Focus Features. —Kam Williams

Competing Against the Elite of Women’s Golf, PU Grad Shon Thriving in LPGA Rookie Season
K
elly Shon graduated from Princeton University in June 2014 with a degree in sociology but her education was just beginning as she went from college to the Symetra Tour, the development circuit for the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). For Shon, a four-time All Ivy league honoree and the 2013 Ivy individual champion during her stellar career with the Tiger women’s golf program, competing as a pro was an eye-opening experience, on and off the course. “The challenge on the golf course was expected; I was coming off of four years of college where golf was not as big a part of my life as it was for the girls at the other colleges,” said Shon. “Off the course, it was a dramatically different life being on the road. In college, I was surrounded by friends and could just walk down the hall when I wanted to talk to somebody. My life was more balanced, I missed that. My primary goal first and foremost was to learn.” Utilizing her customary work ethic, Shon put her nose to the grindstone. “I went from playing 27 holes a week to playing 18 holes seven days a week and sometimes playing two rounds in a day,” explained Shon. “It is golf all the time.” While Shon struggled on the Symetra tour, rarely earning enough to cover her expenses, she came through last December, earning her LPGA tour card as she tied for ninth in a 90-hole qualifying tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla., needing a top-20 finish to make the LPGA. “I remember that the week prior I didn’t play well,” said Shon, who fired 4-under 68s in the last two rounds to move up from 24th place. “I was a little bummed I was hoping to be more prepared. It was a tough fight, I told myself that it is a long journey and to keep
fighting. I was definitely better off with the experience, if nothing else, just being more familiar with the players. It didn’t sink in at first, it is surreal.” Shon had a surreal experience in her first LPGA event, tying for 11th at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic in early February. “It was exciting, being around people I had looked up to all my life and now I was playing in the same tournament,” said Shon. “I didn’t know what to expect; the only times I had been in against a top field like that was in the U.S. Open and the Canadian Open. The first nine holes were tough. I was hitting the ball well but the putts weren’t going in and then I started making putts. Once I got the ball rolling, things went well. I knew at the end that I could have shot a few shots better, it was a confidence builder knowing that I can compete.” After missing the cut in five of her next eight events with a top finish of T62, Shon returned to New Jersey for the ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway and looked right at home as she tied for third. “It was the same weekend as Princeton reunions, it was so coincidental that it was an hour away,” said Shon. “I was familiar with the course but I hadn’t played well the last time I had played there.” Entering the final round three shots off the lead in a tie for third place, Shon felt some butterflies as she teed off. “The first hole of the final day was tough, I don’t think I have ever been so nervous, my hands were shaking on the green,” recalled Shon, who was just one shot off the lead through 14 holes before ending up in third. “Once I got over the first hole, I settled
ON TOUR: Kelly Shon displays her form as she follows through on a shot during her career with the Princeton University women’s golf team. Shon, a 2014 Princeton alum who was a fourtime All Ivy league honoree and the 2013 Ivy individual champion, is currently competing as a rookie on the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tour.

down and it was just golf. All day I was in it, it was awesome going against players who have won multiple tournaments. It was unbelievable; it was a confirmation of how I played in the Bahamas. I was starting to think that was a fluke, when it happens again it is validation.” Over the summer, Shon has experienced the ups and downs that can come with being a rookie at the highest level, missing the cut in two of the five events since the ShopRite tournament with a top finish of T52. “I have not been playing that well the last few months, my swing is all over the place,” said the 5’5 Shon, a native of Port Washington, N.Y. who is currently based in Queens. “I don’t have a coach. We play so frequently that I don’t have time to make adjustments. I will keep playing through it.
330 COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540
With my level of experience in the game, I feel like I am catching up. It is the best female golfers in the world. At times I am still mesmerized by them and some of the shots they make. I am working hard on the off days and the off weeks. I am going to try to get in and learn as much as I can so I will have that experience for next year.” Having earned $136,297 through July 26 to rank 74th in the CME Globe Points Standings, Shon is planning to stay on the LPGA tour for a while. “I thought, and the people around me thought, I wouldn’t be able to do this for years,” said Shon. “It is not due to skill or ability but I am a curious person and I like to try different things. I can’t settle on one thing. But I am having so much fun with this, I can see myself doing this for years.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Fencer Holmes Wins 2 Golds at Pan Am Games
Princeton University women’s fencing star Katharine Holmes earned two gold medals last week at the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada. On July 21, Holmes, a native of Washington, D.C who competed her junior season at Princeton in 2013-14 before taking a leave to train for a shot at the 2016 Olympics, won the individual epee, edging Ramírez Peguero of the Dominican Republic 15-14 in overtime in the gold medal match. After trailing 3-1 at the end of one period, Holmes got out to an 8-4 lead during the third period before Ramírez Peguero caught Holmes at 9-9. Holmes was one touch away from ending it, up 14-12, but Ramírez Peguero avoided elimination by getting two straight touches and pushing the bout to overtime. Holmes, though, had the final touch, winning gold in the extra frame. Last Friday, Holmes teamed with rising Princeton senior Anna Van Brummen and Penn State alum Katarzyna Trzopek to win the team epee gold for the U.S. The trio swept three matches on the way to the triumph. The U.S. started the team event with a 45-33 quarterfinal win over the Dominican Republic, with Holmes accounting for 16 of the 45 touches and Van Brummen another 14. Holmes closed out the win by out-touching Violeta Ramirez Peguero 6-2 in a rematch of the individual gold-medal bout. A 32-31 semifinal win over Brazil followed, with Holmes getting 18 touches and Van Brummen 10. Holmes had a pair of turning-point bouts along the way, the first coming when she out-touched Rayssa Costa 5-0 to turn a 13-11 deficit into a 16-13 lead. The second of those key bouts was a rematch with Nathalie Moellhausen after the pair met in the individual competition, with Moellhausen pulling Brazil out of a four-touch hole against Holmes to tie it at 31-31 before Holmes had the winning touch in extra time to put the U.S. in the gold-medal bout. In the final, the U.S. posted a 29-22 win over Venezuela with Holmes accounting for 17 of the 29 U.S. touches, including a 9-2 win over Maria Martinez to break a 20-20 tie and close out the win. Van
Brummen added nine touches to keep the U.S. at no worse than a tie throughout. ———
PU Men’s Lacrosse Adds Grossi to Staff
Steve Grossi has joined the Princeton University men’s lacrosse staff as defensive coordinator, the program announced last week. Grossi comes to Princeton from St. Joseph’s, where he led the Hawks to back-to-back top six finishes in Division I in scoring defense as an assistant coach. He is replacing Dylan Sheridan, who left Princeton to become the first head coach at Cleveland State. The Wallingford, Pa. native, who played for Princeton head coach Chris Bates during his time guiding Drexel, will be the program’s fourth defensive coordinator in four years, after Sheridan and Greg Raymond (Hobart) left to be head coaches and John Walker stepped down due to a back injury that prevented him from coaching. Over the last three years, Grossi served as the defensive coordinator at St. Joe’s, which went 6-0 in the Northeast Conference regular season each of the last two years. Grossi’s defense ranked fifth in scoring defense in 2015 and sixth in 2014, and the Hawks allowed just 7.65 goals per game this past year. In addition, St. Joe’s led all of Division I in man down defense in both 2014 and 2015 and was 10th in Division I in caused turnovers in 2015. Grossi previously spent two years as an assistant coach at Division III Hampton-Sydney in Virginia. Grossi, a business major, graduated from Drexel in 2009 after playing for Bates for four seasons, all of which ended when Grossi earned All-CAA honors as a longstick midfielder, including first-team honors as a junior and senior. He was also a two-time captain, a Tewaaraton watch list nominee and the team MVP his senior year. After Drexel, Grossi also played professionally with the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League. He is completing his master’s degree in organization, development and leadership. ———

Princeton Rower Reelick Wins Gold at U-23 Worlds
It was another golden summer for Erin Reelick, who led a group of seven Princeton rowers to the U-23 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Reelick, a rising senior, repeated as a gold medalist in the US W8+, while four other Princeton rowers competed in their respective A finals. Reelick, who won gold in both the eight and the four during the 2014 U-23 World Championships, returned to the eight and found a terrific challenge from both the Russian and British boats. The Russians actually held a lead after the 500-meter mark, but the Americans held a lead at the midway point and never trailed the rest of the way. They repeated as gold medalists in 6:19.49, more than 2.5 seconds faster than the Russians. Three of Reelick’s teammates within the Princeton open varsity eight this season also competed, including classmate Meghan Wheeler. She returned to the quad, which finished ninth last season, and helped the boat to a fourthplace finish. Another member of the Princeton boat, rising junior Georgie Howe, helped the Australian four to a fourthplace finish in their A final. The boat faced some early struggles with wind, but they battled back to a finish in 6:57.97; the time was about one second off the medal stand. The fourth member of the Tiger varsity eight to compete at the U-23 Worlds is rising senior Mary Ann McNulty, who competed in the single sculls and managed a Top-10 finish. McNulty, who earned her spot by winning the single sculls event at the U-23 Na-

Reinprecht was joined on the U.S. squad by older sister, Katie Reinprecht ’13, another former Tiger star.

Three men were also in competition, including a pair of lightweights. Rising sophomore James Goble reached the A final in the pair for Great Britain and finished fifth overall in 6:57.81. Classmate James Sincavage competed in the double sculls, and he and teammate Austin Velte won the E final in 6:49.31. The lone heavyweight in competition was rising sophomore Tom George, who reached the A final for Great Britain in the pair and finished fourth in 6:30.80.

Ending Up as 5th All-Time Scorer for Dickinson Lax, PDS Alum O’Brien Overcame Injury to be Productive Sadly, Carly O’Brien ended her senior season with the Dickinson College women’s lacrosse team this spring the same way she finished her freshman campaign – with a serious knee injury. While injuries may have hampered O’Brien during her college career, the former Princeton Day School standout accomplished a lot when she was on the field for the Red Devils. The high-scoring 5’8 forward tallied 166 points in her career, fifth best in program history, on 114 goals and 52 assists. She ranks seventh alltime for the team in goals and fifth in assists. “Every time I stepped on the field, it was my job to score,” said O’Brien, a threesport performer at PDS, who played soccer and ice hockey in addition to lacrosse. “The defense worked so hard to get the ball and I wanted to come through. Because of the injuries, I wanted to make the most of the time I was on the field.”
Coming into this spring, O’Brien was looking to make the most of her senior season. “My first three years, we came so close to the Centennial Conference playoffs so my main goal was to make playoffs,” said O’Brien reflecting on her mindset coming into 2015. “It was a young team with a lot of talent and potential.” O’Brien and the Red Devils got off to a good start, going 3-0, but couldn’t get over the hump, losing some tough games to ned the season at 8-7 overall and 4-5 Centennial. “We beat Ithaca on spring break and they were nationally ranked,” recalled O’Brien. “We played Trinity; it was really good playing them. We hung in the game for a while. I got my 100th goal against Gettysburg, that was special. They have been such a good team. It was another game where we hung in there early.”
O’Brien’s last big game came against McDaniel as she tallied five goals and three assists in a 14-6 victory on April 15. “McDaniel was a good win for us; they had beaten us on overtime the last two years,” said O’Brien. “I think it was double overtime as a sophomore. Our coach had played on McDaniel so we were fired up for game.” A week later, O’Brien’s season and career came to an abrupt end when she got injured. “I tore a ACL in the first minute of game against Swarthmore,” said O’Brien, who will be getting surgery on the knee in August. “To say the least, it was heartbreaking.” O’Brien is heartened by the program’s prospects going forward. “The team is going to be really good next year,” asserted O’Brien, who scored a team-high 43 points this spring on 27 goals and 16
assists, earning second-team All-Centennial Conference honors for the third straight season. “I think things are in good hands. Gettysburg and F&M have been dominating but I think that could change.” While O’Brien ended up as one of the few survivors in her class in the program, she believes the group of seniors is leaving a positive legacy. “My class started with 11 people and we ended up with three,” said O’Brien. “There was a coaching change and some injuries; it is a Division III school and people are involved in other activities. You have to put in a lot of time on a sport and some people don’t want to do that. The goalie (JoJo Auerbach) and I were four-year starters. We had good experience and we transferred it to the underclassmen.” In reflecting on her time at Dickinson, O’Brien is leaving with some indelible memories. “I think it started with loving Dickinson and loving the community,” said O’Brien, a psychology major and religion minor who is looking
to get a job in the human resources field. “I didn’t like it as much as a freshman but when I came back I was really comfortable. I didn’t want it to end. Competing at D-III in one of the strongest leagues in the country, I had a great experience.
I didn’t think about it being over until it actually was. It is hard not being able to play again, sports has always been my main thing. I always had a season to look forward to, I knew I wanted to play at the college level.” -Bill Alden

What Is Wrong With My Oak? BACTERIAL LEAF SCORCH!
Building on Solid Debut Season with Cornell Swimming, PHS Alum Stange Makes Olympic Trials in 200 Back Even though Will Stange was sidelined by illness for over a week in the tapering phase as the Cornell University men’s swimming team prepared for the Ivy League championship meet this past February, he still produced a personal best in the 200-yard backstroke at the competition. Former Princeton High standout Stange posted a time of 1:45.1 to place 13th, achieving the third-fastest time for the event in Cornell program history. “It was a t wo seconds drop from my previous best of 1: 47.3,” said Stange. “Two weeks into the taper, I got a staph infection on my stomach and I was out of the water for nine days. I got back with one week left in the taper. I actually did a good job.” Heartened by that performance, Stange set his sights this summer on making the 2:03.79 qualifying standard in the 200-meter back for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials. After the Ivy championships, Stange resumed training at Cornell, swimming 5,000-6,000 yards a day and hitting the weight room hard to increase his strength. Coming home this summer, he has been competing for the Princeton Piranhas club and putting in
around 8,000 yards a day in the pool. He recently went to an intense 12-day training camp at 7,000-feet altitude in Santa Fe, N.M. C om i ng i nto t h e New Jersey Long Course Junior Olympics hosted by Scarlet Aquatics at Rutgers last week, Stange was primed to hit the qualifying standard. “I was pretty sure I was going to beat it,” said Stange. “I had no doubt.” As Stange got ready to hit the water on Thursday morning for his preliminary heat in the 200 back, he sensed that his time had come. “When I got behind the blocks, I felt perfect,” said Stange. “I was completely in the zone, nothing was wrong with my body. I felt no aches and I was loose. If I was 99 percent sure I could qualify before, I felt 100 percent sure as I got into the blocks.” Stange’s confidence proved justified as he posted a time of 2:03.56 in winning the race and booking his spot in the Olympic Trials, which will be held in Omaha, Neb. next summer from June 26July 3. “I couldn’t tell splits, I was so into the zone,” said Stange, who placed second in the 200 back finals later that day with a time of 2:05.57. “I could hear people cheering on the last lap so I knew I was close. I swam as hard as I ever had. In the last six strokes I slowed, I was dying.” For Stange, making the trials was a dream come true. “It is something I have wanted to do since I heard about it,” said Stange, noting that two other former PHS stars, Nina Rossi and Victoria Cassidy, competed at the trials in recent years. “I was really excited, I did want to go faster.” Having qualified for the trials in the 200 back, Stange hopes to make it in the 100 back as well. “Hopefully I will get close i n t he 10 0 back,” s a id

Stange. “I did 59.4 in first 100 on Thursday and 57.1 is the cut. I changed my technique in the 100. I always used a straight arm, now I am more of a bent arm with an up sweep and a down sweep. I rotate better and have a better flow.” With his sophomore season at Cornell on the horizon, Stange is poised to make more of an impact this coming winter. “I am looking forward to making more noise in the league next year, the Ivy
championships are going to be exciting,” said Stange. “College is a whole other situation. It is great when people get excited for events other than their own. It gets so loud on the deck.” W h ile Stange’s brea kthrough last Thursday was a great moment for him, he acknowledges that it hasn’t always been a smooth ride for him in the water. “It is the end of a long road and the beginning of another,” said Stange. “There

With Former PHS Star Holman Assuming Veteran Role, Bring Me Food Wins Opener of Men’s Hoops Title Series DeQuan Holman had been a fixture in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League over the years. During his career with the Princeton High boys’ basketball team, which saw him help the Little Tigers to the Central Jersey Group 3 sectional finals in 2009 as a senior, Holman played for the Princeton Youth Sports entry in the summer league. A f ter g raduat ing f rom PHS, he continued to spend
his summers on the Community Park courts, helping University Radiology to the league title in 2011 and then starring for Dr. Palmer. This summer, Holman has assumed the wily veteran role for Bring Me Food as it has played its debut season in the league. “I have actually never played with these guys before, it is actually pretty different for me,” said Holman. “I am the oldest by far, that is a new feeling for
me. I am used to being the youngest.” Last Monday evening in the Princeton High gym, Holman displayed his savvy and skill, scoring a teamh igh 18 p oi nt s to help second-seeded Bring Me Food defeat Ivy Inn 54-39 in Game 1 of the league’s best-of-three championship series. Game 2 of the series is scheduled for July 29 at the Community Park courts with Game 3, if necessary, slated for July 31.

Having lost 57-48 to Ivy Inn in a regular season game on July 15, Holman and his teammates were determined to turn the tables in the rematch. “We wanted to come out strong,” said Holman. “The last time we played them, I think they went up 12-0 to start the game and we just didn’t want to start like that. We moved the ball around because we knew they were going to play zone.” Trailing 17-15 late in the first half, Bring Me Food went on an 11-2 run to take a 26-19 halftime lead. Building on that momentum, the team clicked on all cylinders in the second half as it pulled away to the victory. “We moved the ball the best we have the entire year in this game,” asserted Holman, reflecting on the win which saw Nick Davidson score 15 points and Vince Afield add 13 for Bring Me Food with Sherm Brittingham leading Ivy Inn with a game-high 21. “It is coming at a good time. This is the most enjoyable game I think we have played together, especially against the competition we played against.” That ball movement paved the way for Holman to score 11 points in the second half as he repeatedly attacked the basket. “I think I was just taking advantage of opportunities, honestly; they started to key a little bit more on Davon (Black),” said Holman. “His athleticism to go by his first defender helped a lot and from there I was just able to take advantage of open spots. They would collapse on him and I would just take advantage of it one-on-one. I think I excel at that aspect.” While Holman was more than willing to carry the scoring load on Monday, he is more focused on getting his teammates on the same page. “My role for this team is to keep everyone together and lead by example,” said Holman.
“If I come out there and take all of the shots, everyone else is going to do that behind me. Even if I don’t score, we can win as long as everyone is involved so I try to keep everyone together. Nick (Davidson) can score, Vince (Anfield) can score. As long as everyone stays involved, everyone feels like they are part of the game.” Holman feels good about Bring Me Food’s chances to clinch the title in Game 2.
“Coming into Wednesday, we have to start hot and get them feeling like it is over and not give them anything to hang on,” said Holman. “Because if you give them time to hang around the game, you know those guys can score. We don’t want to give them anything to hang their hats on. I am happy about the win today and the way we won.” —Bill Alden

Frances Crandall Fr a n c e s Fre e r ( L ow n ) Crandall, 87, of Princeton, NJ, died on July 14, 2015. “Frankie” to college friends and “Mère-Mère” to her grandchildren. Fran was born on November 26, 1927 to Dr. Morton Lown (Cornell class of 1910) and Hazel Freer Lown in Kingston, NY. Her older brother once recounted that she was a total surprise to her two older siblings. One day they were told to go their neighbor’s house, and when they returned, there she was! She met her future husband, Max, on his birthday (what a present!) in 1950 and they were later married in 1952 in Kingston, NY. She is survived by her husband Maxson Crandall Jr., and children/spouses: Maxson Crandall III (Anita), Brooks Crandall (Jill), Christopher Crandall (Ellen) and grandchildren: Cabe, Grant, Anya, Paige, Dane, and Beck Crandall. Developing an interest in the arts from a young age, she always felt a connection to her great uncle and art collector, Charles Lang Freer (Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, DC). Fran’s aspirations to expand her horizons beyond her small town and develop her artistic tal-
ents led her to Cornell University after graduating from Kingston High School in ’45. While at Cornell, “Frankie” was involved in a number of activities including the Riding Club (a passion that she maintained throughout her life), Sorority (Pi Beta Phi), The Sage Chapel Choir (she truly loved singing Hymns), and the design of the 1949 yearbook cover (which was proudly printed on t-shirts at their class reunions). She graduated in ’49 with a BS in Human Ecology/Design and Environmental Analysis (Interior Design).Her first job was in the Big Apple working as a secretary at the leading manufacturer of fine woolen in America, Forstmann Woolen Company. She later began her official interior design career as a junior designer at Jo Nesbitt Interior Design in Darien, CT. She moved onto advertising sales for “Shopping With Jane” in New Canaan, CT (notable for bringing her beagle Punch to sales calls). Not only a talented interior designer, Fran was also an accomplished watercolor painter and began to paint professionally in Holden, MA. A true renaissance woman, she also applied her creative skills as a copywriter for Paoli and Sweeney, Cherry Hill, NJ. In the late ‘80s, Fran began her own interior design business (FLC Interiors) in Brookfield Center, CT, and after moving to Princeton, NJ in the mid ‘90s, she continued working with clients up until her recent passing. To say that Fran was active in her community would be a huge understatement. While
living in Cherry Hill, NJ, she was co-chairperson for the “Friends of Barclay Farmstead” (colonial era historic site) and helped bring history back to life in the site’s restoration and preservation. She also founded and functioned as chairperson for the Center for the Arts of Southern NJ and was a member of the Philadelphia Water Color Society. After moving to Princeton, she became a member of the Junior League of Greater Princeton and had the privilege of designing several rooms at various show houses over a five-year period. Fran was an Award-winning watercolor painter and member of “Watercolorists Unlimited.” She st udied under Lucille Geiser. She was also a Francophile and equestrian. Loving horses since her youth, Fran participated in the Riding Club at Cornell and cherised her horse “Beau Cheval,” a gift from her husband Max. Fran was also active in various churches throughout her lifetime. A memorial service will be held for Frances Lown Crandall on August 1, 2015 at Princeton Meadow Church at 12:30 p.m. Reception to follow at the church.

He was Vice President/General Manager of the Publishing Group at Peterson’s Guides from 1988 to 1991. Wayne returned to Wiley to complete his career as Publisher for Engineering, Mathematics, and Statistics from 1991 to 1996. He loved publishing and technology and enjoyed nurturing staff and authors. Wayne was an assistant coach in the minor leagues of Hightstown-East Windsor Youth Baseball League for eight years and enjoyed watching baseball all his life. He particularly enjoyed his time with his companions at the Princeton Senior Resource Center discussion groups on Great Decisions and Currents.

A REAL SHOW--STOPPER!! Tired of cookie cutter houses? Well, your wish is answered. Set on a 1.25 acre wooded lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, this custom house was built by a builder for his own family, and you know what THAT means! Upon entering the house, you come into a gracious slate floored reception area, which leads to an extraordinarily large living room and dining room, both with beamed ceiling, and beautiful pegged wood floors. Entertaining is a breeze, what with the open floor plan, and the kitchen, equally large, goes from there. With a huge limestone island, it provides plenty of space for preparation and serving, as well as storage underneath. Tons of cabinets, and a generous expanse of limestone countertops enable multiple cooks to ply their craft without hindering each other, and the workspace is complemented by a lovely stained glass panel above a large window. The breakfast area is so large that it feels like a separate room, but, because it is built as one space, encourages communication between the chefs and their hungry friends! A study is also found on this level, with easy access to the deck and free-form pool, which can be enjoyed by going directly from the kitchen, as well. You can enjoy swimming, relaxing, and barbecuing from the spacious wood deck; all in the privacy of your own home. The main bedroom, having two walk-in closets and a sybaritic bath, is on the main level, as is an additional ensuite bedroom. Upstairs, you will find two more bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath. Truly, this house can provide tremendous space for every activity and size of family, no matter how large or how small. To boot, you have the Princeton schools and University at the ready!!! $1,299,000

STILL HOPING FOR A SUMMER SALE? YOU HAVE TO DROP YOUR PRICE The summer home sale season is drawing to a close, and if you were hoping to sell your home before the first autumn leaves start to fall, you might be feeling a bit panicked. The good news is, there are still plenty of buyers out there looking for their next home, sweet home. But to draw them in, you're almost certainly going to need to lower your price. Let's face it: After location, a buyer's primary concern is cost. And there are many other summer sellers out there hoping to appeal to the same people you're targeting. To make your home stand apart from the competition, you need to ensure it gets more favorable attention to boost showings and increase its appeal. The single most effective way to do that is by lowering the price. The big question is: By how much? Fortunately, the summer has been a busy sales season, and that means your agent has plenty of data to determine a realistic price for your home based on actual sales data – not just wishful thinking. Asking your agent to review pricing for similar homes and then adjusting your price slightly lower can be just the ticket to get you to the closing table.
