New Zoning Approved At Former SAVE Site For Affordable Housing

At a meeting Monday night, April 8, Princeton Council voted unanimously to approve the creation of a new affordable housing zone on the site where the SAVE animal shelter was formerly located. The property is bordered by Herrontown Road, Mt. Lucas Road, and Old Orchard Lane. Introduced at a previous Council meeting in March and then sent to the Planning Board for review, the ordinance came back to Council with some revisions for the three-acre property, which is to be devoted 100 percent to affordable housing in 65 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units for low-and-moderate-income households. The vote came after testimony from numerous neighbors of the site, nearly all of whom were opposed to the plan. Each person who spoke said that while they support affordable housing and realize that Princeton has an obligation of a certain number of affordable units to create, the proposed complex is too big and out of character for the largely wooded area. “These buildings are totally inappropriate for our neighborhood,” said Charles McVicker, who has lived on Old Orchard Lane since 1957, when Mt. Lucas was an unpaved road, he said. “There are very tall, mature trees on the property. I stopped counting when I got to 50,” he said. “They will have to be cut down, and that’s a shame.” Another resident who lives on Mt. Lucas Road said she did an informal study of traffic between 5 and 5:30 p.m. On Mt. Lucas, she counted 144 cars going north and 45 going south. “Most of them ignored the stop sign at Herrontown and Mt. Lucas,” she said. “Please make this project a lower density. It’s simply too large.” Princeton resident Steven Gilbert, a city planner who is unaffiliated with the plan, said he supports the plan, though he understands the concerns of neighbors. Carol Golden, Scott Sillars, and Ed Truscelli also spoke in favor of creating the new zoning. Truscelli, who is executive director of Princeton Community Housing but said he was speaking independently, noted that the municipality had been in this position in the past, with the creation of the Elm Court and Harriet Bryan affordable communities. “It can happen again if it’s done sensitively,” he said. “There are 1800 households on the waiting list for affordable Continued on Page 7

Emergency Bridge Closure Snarls Traffic The discovery Monday of deteriorated structural conditions on the Alexander Street Bridge over Stony Brook necessitated closing of the heavily traveled thoroughfare to allow for emergency repairs. The project is expected to take at least 10 days, depending on weather conditions. Motorists trying to drive in and out of Princeton during the Tuesday morning rush hour were delayed at several locations because of the rerouted traffic. Mercer County sent out a notice Monday afternoon saying all traffic on the bridge is suspended. A detour directs motorists to use Route 1, Washington Road, and Faculty Road. This is not good news for the commuters already inconvenienced by the closure of the Dinky train shuttle, which has been replaced since last fall by buses. Those buses use Alexander to ferry passengers between the Princeton and Princeton Junction train stations. Service on the Dinky is scheduled to be restored on May 24, but Mayor Liz Lempert said at Monday’s Princeton Council meeting that she and Assemblyman Dan Benson, who heads the State Assembly’s

Transportation Committee, were working to get NJ Transit to move up the date. “It was the first call I made,” Lempert said, adding that at first, she was led to believe that the bridge closure would be indefinite. “So it was better news that it will only take 10 days — hopefully,” she said. Alexander Street, which becomes Alexander Road in West Windsor, was already targeted for closure during the summer months for replacement of the bridge over

the D&R Canal and the bridge over the Stony Brook. The New Jersey Department of Transportation held a special public information session at Monument Hall last December to provide information about the project. The D&R Canal bridge is owned by the State of New Jersey, while the Alexander span is under the aegis of Mercer County. Alexander Road remains open to Turning Basin Park from the east, and up to Continued on Page 7

Council Appeals DOT Decision On All-Pedestrian Phase Traffic Lights

In a resolution adopted unanimously Monday night, Princeton Council is asking the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) to reconsider its denial of a request for an all-pedestrian phase for traffic lights at the Nassau Street at University Place, Witherspoon Street, and Washington Road intersections. “All of the Council is united in thinking this was a mistake by the DOT,” said Council President Jenny Crumiller.

“Pedestrian safety should be just as much a priority as traffic movement, if not more.” Over the past six years there have been more than a dozen pedestrians struck at these intersections and one pedestrian killed, according to Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. In October 2017 a woman died after being struck by a cement truck turning left onto Washington Road from Nassau Street. Continued on Page 7

A joint investigation by Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, the Princeton Police Department, and Princeton University Department of Public Safety into several arson fires has resulted in the arrest of two local juvenile suspects. The fires, all of which occurred between Friday, April 5, and Monday, April 8, collectively caused an estimated $1 million in damages. The five sepa-

rate fires were located in the 12th floor of Fine Hall, Jadwin Hall, two locations within Princeton University Stadium, and the West Building on the campus of the Institute for Advanced Study. In addition to the property damage caused by the fire at Fine Hall, a local firefighter was also treated for injuries received while fighting that fire. The juvenile suspects were arrested on April 9, after a caller to Princeton Police Headquarters reported two males starting a fire in the wooded area behind Holly House. Officers and detectives from the above agencies tracked the suspects to a local residence

with the assistance of the NJSP Aviation Bureau. ——— On March 31, at 2:28 a.m., a 35-year-old male from Princeton was charged with DWI, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Witherspoon Street for failure to keep right. On March 30, at 2:20 p.m., a caller reported observing a juvenile female conceal merchandise from their business on Hulfish Street. The female left the store and was confronted by the complainant. Police arrived and charged the 16-year-old female from Princeton with shoplifting. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

An Invigorated Downtown Campus For Mercer County Community College With an expanded downtown Trenton campus of renovated and new buildings, Mercer County Community College (MCCC) is becoming known as much for its presence in the capital city as its suburban spread next to West Windsor’s Mercer County Park.

New programs that needed new facilities with up-todate technological capabilities now have a sleek home on Nor t h Broad St reet. Courses in cybersecurity and security systems, fashion design and merchandising, nursing and phlebotomy, and more, are offered at the downtown campus, and enrollment is up. “Our numbers in Trenton are growing,” said Dr. Jianping Wang, MCCC president. “This spring we have over 600 students, which is our highest enrollment ever. And we could probably have more if there wasn’t a parking problem.”

The newest buildings are located across the street f rom Ker n e y Ha l l. T h e for m er Hom e Fu r n it u re store was converted to the f ive - stor y Trenton Hall. It has been renovated for classrooms, the college’s fashion design and merchandising programs, and nursing and allied health programs. An annex next door includes an art gallery, more classrooms, and labs. The top floor of the fivestory building is “a classic New York loft space,” said Hatch, “with very tall ceilings, beautiful floors, and windows. It’s being used for things like dance and yoga.” “Things like our programs

Architects Clarke Caton Hint z have won a 2019 Smart Growth Award from New Jersey Future for their design of the project. The honor is for “reactivation of a group of long-dormant buildings in an overlooked part of the city, with amenities to serve both students and residents.” “New Jersey Future likes projec ts t hat are about smart development concentrated in cities and town centers, encouraging things like walkability and energy efficiency,” said John Hatch, of the architecture firm. “And they like projects that aren’t one-off, but are either a group of things happening or have lots of spin-off.” MCCC has been working to invigorate the downtown campus for a while. Clarke Caton Hintz had done a master plan for the college, and created a second one after Wang became president in 2016. “She saw a real opportunity for the downtown campus,” said Hatch. “There is this whole population in Trenton that is underserved, and she realized that redevelopment of the campus would spur redevelopment around it.” The existing Kerney Hall “has been an internallylooking building that turned its back on the city,” said Hatch. “She was pushing to expand into other buildings on North Broad Street to create the feel of an urban campus — to get students, faculty, and members of the community to be walking around on the streets.”

in cybersecurity and security systems require technology that the old building wouldn’t accommodate,” said Wang. “The building really allowed us to extend and expand our academic programs.” The renovated downtown campus also opened the door for certain collaborations with business partners. “When you invite other businesses to invest and you show them an old facility, they’re not interested. But with something like this, they say ‘Yes, we’re in,’” said Wang. The building includes an op en - air cour t yard t hat uses natural stormwater to irrigate drought-tolerant and native plantings and divert stormwater from Trenton’s storm system. The college has taken a long-term lease on another building, at the corner of North Broad and Hanover streets. “This is the next step,” said Hatch. “It’s an art deco building that had been state offices for a long time, and before that an A& P (market). Now, the college is working with a developer and is moving their exercise program there, renting out the main floor to a dental care program, and will use a couple other floors for labs and classrooms.” Wang is pleased with the renovations at Trenton Hall. “It respects the historic features of the building,” she said. “It preserves all of the historic features. We saved all of the railings, the metalwork. To me, that is very important. Because if you don’t respect the history, you lose it. We want people to remember Trenton in its heyday, and bring it back. We want to set the standards for revitalizing the city and the building is an example of how together, we can do it.” —Anne Levin

This award-winning documentary follows real accounts of boys and young men as they struggle to navigate their way through America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Parents of children of any age are encouraged to attend. The film is recommended for ages 14 and up. A panel discussion will follow the screening. Panelists include Jonathan Woods, who has been in clinical practice since 1979 and is current director of Comprehensive Mental Health Services, a multidisciplinary outpatient practice; Megan Mormile, who has worked with adolescents for over 20 years focused primarily around dealing with stress, anxiety, social issues, and school related difficulties; and Hopewell resident Laura Smelas, regional director of Let Me Run Central NJ. This program is co-sponsored by Let Me Run, a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. Let Me Run seeks to break down negative societal pressures that require males to mask their authentic selves behind a performance of masculinity.

Question of the Week:

“What is your favorite Princeton-area park?” (Asked Saturday at the Grover Park cleanup) (Photographs by Charles R. Plohn)

mens & womens

“Grover Park, and one obvious reason is that I live right next door and use it quite frequently.” —Martin Bendersky, Princeton

Scarlett: “I love the playground on Tee-Ar Place. It’s kind of a secret and I like how they made a very interesting playground and I like to play on it.” — Scarlett Liu, right, and Ming Kuang, Princeton

“I’m going to have to say Mountain Lakes, because I love the trails, and I love walking along the water. My favorite season there is spring. And I also love when they have performances there. I have many fond memories of Mountain Lakes, and when my kids were little we used to come play in the streams.” —Eve Niedergang, Princeton

“Grover Park — I’m biased because I’m from Grover Avenue. The cultural fabric of my life has been here. As one of my friends here pointed out, this is karma because now I’m cleaning up the park that I dirtied up as a teenager.” —Adam Bierman, Princeton

“My favorite park is Mountain Lakes. I love mountains, I love hills, and just being in the woods. It is a beautiful place. I love that there are multiple trails there and I enjoy the change in seasons. There is always something different to see and it really brings out the beauty in everything.” —Tammy Sands, Princeton

Neighbors have been opposed to the height of t he bu ild ings, wh ich would be three and four stories, depending on the area. Council members sympathized with the neighbors’ concerns, but felt the new zoning was necessary.”I’m not seeing any alternatives to create a better solution,” said Dwaine Williamson. Eve Niedergang said, “Change is coming to us all. I urge you to work with the developer.

“We really don’t have the option to appreciably reduce the density and keep the project,” said David Cohen. “I wish we did.” Tim Quinn said, “Yedlin has a strong record of developing affordable housing. It feels like your neighborhood is being picked on, but that’s because you’re first.” Also at the meeting, the Marquand Park Foundation was given an award of recognition for their work preserving and beautifying the park on Stockton Street and Lovers Lane.

In discussing the Council’s request and the DOT’s denial, Lempert described “a d i s c o n n e c t w i t h t h e DOT.

He added that the models w ith the pedestrian- only phase forced t he t raf f ic signals to run over capacity, increased intersection delays, increas ed queue lengths, and decreased the operation LOS (level of service). “BTE is not recommending the installation of the pedestrian-only phase at the three intersections,” he concluded. “Their decision seems to fly in the face of our complete streets policy,” Lempert said. “Their analysis of traffic signals seems to have been only from the perspective of vehicles.” “It’s dangerous to cross the street on Nassau,” Crumiller added. Lempert noted that the

DOT would be doing further traffic studies in the near future, and ”I hope t hos e s t u d ie s w i l l show how important pedestrian movement is on Nassau.” A c c or d i n g to t h e N a tional Association of City Tra nsp or tat ion O f f icia ls (NACTO), a leading pedestrian interval (LPI), giving pedestrians a 3-7 second head start when entering an intersection, is “critical at intersections where heavy right or left turning volumes create consistent conf licts and safety concerns between vehicles and pedestrians.” The NACTO website reports that LPIs have been show n to reduce pedes trian-vehicle collisions as much as 60 percent at treated intersections. —Donald Gilpin

Racist Content in PHS Musical Provokes Strong Responses From Community Princeton High School’s (PHS) production of Anything Goes last month received glowing reviews, but its racist humor and derogatory, stereotypical depictions of Chinese characters tainted the experience for many. Written by Cole Porter in 1934 and performed by PHS in a 1962 revised version — other more recent versions also exist — the classic musical comedy contains problematic content in several scenes. “We need to do better than urging a nearly allwhite cast to uncomfortably play two-dimensional Asian characters who only exist for a slew of racist jokes and a plot point that could certainly do without any Chinese involvement,” wrote PHS junior Michaela Guo, in “A criticism of the spring musical” in the March 23 edition of The Tower student newspaper. She continued, “The musical takes on a crafty mix of the use of East Asian women as objects of sexual curiosity for white men and the tired joke that all Asian people look the same so their culture must all be the same. There is no excuse for ignoring racism at any level in a musical without any acknowledgement of the offensive content it contains.” Guo, who is a managing editor of the newspaper and was a member of the pit orchestra for the musical, noted the discomfort of both cast and orchestra. “We were extremely

uncomfortable in seeing the problematic scenes,” she wrote. “The cast in particular expressed their discomfort multiple times over the jokes and costumes.” Guo concluded, “In certain parts of the musical, the title was taken a little too literally. Anything goes — including racism.” Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Superintendent Steve Cochrane and PPS Visual and Performing Arts Supervisor Patrick Lenihan addressed the issue in an April 4 letter to members of the PPS community. Emphasizing the district’s commitment to “creating an environment that is welcoming to all and free from racial bias or stereotypes,” the letter acknowledges, “Recently, we missed the mark in fully upholding that value.” The PHS musical, it notes, “included scenes that perp e t u ate d a n a nt i q u ate d and damaging stereotype of Asian culture and particularly of Asian women. Members of our community were understandably hurt or offended by these scenes or, perhaps, had their own implicit biases reinforced. For this, we are truly sorry.” The letter reasserts the PPS’ commitment to an inclusive visual and performing arts department, to diversity, greater equity, racial literacy, and bias-free schools. “We are grateful for the indiv iduals who brought their concerns to us about the musical, and who are

willing to engage with us as we continue to learn,” the letter states. “To that end, we are meeting this week with students from the PHS orchestra classes to listen to their thoughts, experiences, and suggestions. We will also be meeting next week with members of our Chinese community. “Other meetings and conversations will follow. In addition, district leaders, as well as our performing ar ts faculty, continue to meet to reflect on what we are doing to promote equity and diversity in all of our arts programs district-wide and, specifically, to address avenues for increasing the cultural richness and onstage diversity in productions of future high school musicals.” —Donald Gilpin

NOTES

Jim Nawn, owner of Fenwick Hospitality Group, announced last week that he is selling the Princeton restaurants Agricola, The Dinky Bar & Kitchen, Cargot Brasserie, and Fenwick Catering & Events to the New Jerseybased Harvest Restaurant Group. The deal is currently being financed and is expected to take effect mid-year. According to a statement, the Harvest Group plans to transfer all current restaurant staff and management to the Harvest company. The group, which began in 1996, currently owns several New Jersey restaurants including Trap Rock Restaurant & Brewery in Berkeley Heights, Roots Steakhouse and Huntley Taverne in Summit, and others in Morris Plains, Morristown, Westfield, Ridgewood, and Basking Ridge. “Like Fenwick, the Harvest Group designs its properties around local, seasonal food and award-winning wine and spirit offerings,” the statement reads. “Owners Chip and Cheryl Grabowski have had eyes on the Princeton area for expansion and are eager to join the Princeton restaurant scene.” Nawn, a former Panera Bread franchisee, also owns Great Road Farm in Skillman. He bought the longrunning Main Street Bistro in Princeton Shopping Center in 2016, and closed it a year later. The Fenwick Group’s most recent venture was Two Sevens Eatery and Cantina, at 277 Witherspoon Street next to the Avalon Bay apartment complex. The restaurant was closed 10 months after opening, and was supposed to reopen this spring. “That has been delayed,” said Fenwick spokesperson Lauren Swanekamp. “We’re still figuring out what will be.” In the written statement, Nawn said, “I am proud of what my team and I have accomplished since 2013 in establishing these restaurants. Princeton is a special community and it has been a privilege

to serve our guests. The Harvest Group is a family-owned restaurant company that shares a commitment to its local communities and serving great dining experiences. The Grabowski family and I share a commitment to a transition of people and restaurants that will continue and build on what we have started.” —Anne Levin

In the process she uncovers the seeds of today’s heated debates over the politics of poverty relief and international aid.” The Doll Family gift aims to inspire the University community toward a greater understanding of the many varied relationships between religion and money, including philanthropy, personal and corporate stewardship, and wealth and poverty.

Anita Hill, professor of social policy, law, and women’s gender and sexuality studies at Brandeis University, will discuss race, gender, and the law with Imani Perry, Princeton University professor of African American studies and faculty associate in the Program in Law and Public Affairs and the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies, on Thursday, April 18 at 8 p.m. in Princeton’s Richardson Auditorium. Perry commented, in an email, on Hill’s impact since she testified in 1991 at Senate hearings on Clarence Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court, accusing him of sexual harassment. “Although I grew up in a community that included many black feminists, the Thomas hearings were extremely impactful on me as an event in which the particular gendered experience of a black woman was in the public eye,” said Perry, who was in her late

teens at the time. “Professor Hill, along with a group of other black women who litigated cases, brought the issue of sexual harassment into the public arena and changed the landscape of feminist politics.” Describing the Me Too movement as “a contemporary extension” of Hill’s efforts, Perry compared Hill to Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too movement. “Then as now, Anita Hill, like Tarana Burke, has raised issues that have broad implications for our culture and also made clear the particular vulnerabilities experienced by black women and girls,” Perry noted. Hill, an attorney in Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll’s Civil Rights & Employment Practice group, in December 2017 was named chair of the Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, formed to combat sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.

Hill’s books include Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race and Finding Home (2011) and her autobiography Speaking Truth to Power (1997). Her commentary has also been published in Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Ms. Magazine. Perry emphasized the significance of Hill’s perspectives on the current cultural and political environment. “It’s important to hear from Professor Hill now, with her decades of insight and given that we still haven’t resolved the questions of ethics and integrity she raised as they relate to Supreme Court justices and elected officials,” Perry said. “I am also particularly interested in hearing about Professor Hill’s current work and her thoughts about where the center of gravity is for organizing around gender justice today.” Perr y has w rit ten and taught on a number of topics regarding race and African American culture.

D&R Greenway Begins Conservation Initiative

As part of its new “Community Conservation” initiative, in recognition of all the beneficiaries of land preservation, D&R Greenway is developing interpretive signage to communicate the history, educational assets, and connectivity of the trails and places of interest along t he Abb ot t Marsh lands. Four new signs are planned,

thanks to funding from the William Penn Foundation. The first sign was recently installed at Bordentown Beach in the Abbott Marshlands. The totem design lists collaborators and is surrounded by three previously installed interpretive signs, created by the Friends of the Abbott Marshlands. The sign helps to promote the use of the Circuit Trails, Tulpehaking Nature Center, and the TravelStorys app. “D & R G re e nw ay’s expertise lies in maximizing existing partnerships and building new partnerships at all levels — state government, county government, municipal government, corporations, community groups, nonprofit organizations, and individuals,” said President and CEO Linda Mead. “D&R Greenway has acted as the leader to bring all these groups together to understand the importance of connecting communities and merging resources to do so. The signage will also acknowledge the perseverance and volunteer work of key community people, those who ultimately protect and care for our watershed with boots on the ground.” D&R Greenway has worked with Mercer and Burlington Counties to make the Abbott Marshlands and the Circuit Trails the community asset it is today. D&R Greenway has been working toward preservation and stewardship of the Abbott Marshlands for 25 years. An oasis of natural beauty, the Abbott Marshlands is a unique urban wetland where osprey, marsh wrens, and many kinds of butterflies and dragonflies live. The occasional beluga whale and harp seal have been sighted. Human visitors, in addition to students on field trips, include hikers, cyclists, bird watchers, canoeists and kayakers, fishers and hunters, and photographers and artists. Their experiences are enhanced by offerings at the Tulpehaking Nature Center that was created by Mercer County in partnership with D&R Greenway and the NJ Green Acres Program. The new TravelStorys apps provide paddling and walking tours, along with 15 new signs with trail maps. The Circuit Trails is a regional network of hundreds of miles of multi-use trails

in the Greater Philadelphia region. D&R Greenway has extended the connections to the Greater Trenton area. W hen complete the Circuit Trails will include 750 miles of multi-use paths for cyclists, walkers, runners, commuters, and families for recreation and active transportation. Plans are underway to connect the Tulpehaking Nature Center, Abbott Marshlands and the Lawrence Hopewell Trail to the Circuit network. For more information, visit www.drgreenway.org.

Pirone Lambros Understands That Alliances Are Key to Future

To the Editor: The Council needs a new voice!! I support Michelle Pirone Lambros for Princeton Council because she sees Princeton’s potential for 21st century greatness. She has real plans for strategic partnerships between the municipality, the University, and the local economy. Princeton should be a crucible for innovation, and our town must work hand-in-hand with the other sectors to make change happen. She’s the only candidate who understands the importance of a strong local economy to offset property tax increases. The recent parking meter fiasco hurt local businesses, actually decreasing revenue more than 10 percent on average during the critical retail Christmas season. It also created the opposite of the intended result — to help the local economy; now residents are resistant to patronize businesses they were otherwise supporting. The fact that the Council spent $150,000 on two parking consultants, and this mess was the resulting plan, should concern taxpayers. Michelle Pirone Lambros wisely understands the University should be a partner for services and projects, in addition to a full-fare paying part of the community. For example, tapping into the University’s Entrepreneurial Hub at the Keller Center could be a strategy for attracting and nurturing small businesses in the community. The creation of a community center in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, to provide needed services such as urgent care and laundry facilities, could also be another private-public partnership strategy.

Princeton Merchant Association Survey Shows New Parking Plan’s Negative Impact

To the Editor: Our PMA survey results (posted on our website) and public feedback shows the new parking plan has not been well received by residents, customers, visitors, or employees, and has had a chillingly negative impact on the businesses in town through the holiday season and the first several months of 2019. Our town Council and professionals, on the advice of consultants, believe that there is not a shortage of parking spaces and may be pleased to hear that parking is freeing up, but the fact is, fewer people are coming to our downtown to shop. Our shopkeepers are struggling to keep their businesses open and commercial properties, which account for 20-plus percent of our town’s tax base, are experiencing the highest vacancy rates in decades. In collectively reviewing the current parking plan, we want to propose a set of improvements that would honor the intent of the new plan, as articulated by Mayor Lempert, to serve first and foremost as a tool for economic development of Princeton’s vital downtown. Revise Parking Rates: 1st hr. — $1.50; 2nd hr. — $1.75; 3rd hr — $2 In comparison to similar towns: Summit $1/hr.; Red Bank $1.50/hr.; Morristown $1/ hr.; Westfield $1/2hr. We fully recognize the importance of any fixes to the new system being budget-neutral and suggest the following to offset any shortfall: • Add a third hour @ $2.25 to the existing two-hour meters. The third hour is essential so customers don’t need to choose between a meal and shopping. The progressive structure incentivizes turn-over, an ambition of the parking overhaul for the downtown. • Raise the 10hr meters from $.75 to $1 an hour. • Begin metered parking at 8 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. • Raise the Dinky daily parking from $4 to $5/day. • Charge tour buses parked in town a fee commiserate to other regional tourist destinations (while you’re at it, maybe charge idling buses an environmental surcharge). • Revisit the loading zones to make them both business-, and, during off-hours, customer-friendly by installing 30-minute meters: the timing for metered parking in loading zones may need to be site-specific and can be longer in some places than in others (we welcome the fact the town has begun looking into this change). • Increase capital expenditure account from existing parking revenues (est. $1m-plus annual) to offset parking meter improvements

Princeton Should Take Lead In Making Organics Recycling Work

To the Editor: I was quite disappointed when the organics recycling program was suspended due to a variety of errors, most of which it seems could be corrected. Going further, it may be that changing the way we charge for trash collection might make it much easier to expand the program and solve the problem. In thinking about this issue, we should acknowledge that our current methods for disposing of trash/garbage are unsustainable. We not only generate far too much waste, we pretend to make it disappear by dumping everything in a large pile (landfill) for future generations to deal with. The easiest first step for a better system would be to separate organic recyclable materials from the trash. Organics make up about 40 percent of the waste stream and can be processed into compost for use on farms and gardens. One critical factor that seems to be missing from the discussion is economics. At one point we were told that only one bidder responded to the request for quotes for organics removal, and the price was double that of the previous year: too much. But what is being doubled, and how much is too much? It is worth remembering that before the Borough and Township consolidated, each and every household in the Township had to arrange for its own garbage pickup, a really inefficient system. In going through my records I found some 1992 bills from National Waste Disposal: I was paying about $29/ month, or $348/year for trash removal. I switched to another smaller company which saved me $7/mo; in 1995 I paid $22/month, A DEAL. After consolidation trash removal was provided as a service included in our local taxes. In the most recent Princeton budget, trash/garbage removal is listed at about $1.6 million per year, or about $160/ year per household (for about 10,000 households), a significant reduction over what township residents must have been paying just before consolidation in 2013.

NJDOT Should Approve All Pedestrian Phase System for Traffic Lights on Nassau

To the Editor: It’s very disappointing to hear that the NJDOT has not approved the all pedestrian phase system for traffic lights on Nassau Street. A casual walk along the street quickly shows how much this would contribute to pedestrian and auto safety, in contrast to the puzzling conclusion the State cited that this would “decrease the level of service for cars.” Actually it’s quite the opposite if you’ve seen this system in action, as I do frequently in New Haven. But I commend the Council for pursuing this and urge all members to press for an immediate and serious reconsideration of this decision in the interest of pedestrian safely and an increased “level of service for cars.” Perhaps Princeton can then serve as a model for other communities in New Jersey through this program.

Michael Walzer Political Action is a howto book for activists that was written at one of the darkest moments of the Nixon administration. Walzer draws on his extensive engagement in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s to lay out the practical steps necessary to keep movement politics alive both in victory and in defeat. What do people need to do when out of outrage or fear of looming disaster they come together to demand change? Should they focus on one or several issues? Should they form coalitions? What can

A professor of history at Princeton University, the author will talk about his account of India in the mid1970s after Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency. The book details the suspension of constitutional rights and the coercion and intimidation of Gandhi’s political rivals. According to Ajoy Bose, India Today, “Emergency Chronicles is perhaps the most comprehensive scholarly examination yet of the Emergency. Looking back more than four decades after Indira Gandhi stunned India and the world by suspending demo cracy, historian Gyan Prakash argues forcefully that this was no momentary distortion in India’s democratic record or a nightmare that

Labyrinth Hosts Talk On New Form of Matter

Princeton physicist Paul Steinhardt will be talking about his book, The Second Kind of Impossible : The Extraordinary Quest for a New Form of Matter at Labyrinth on Wednesday, April 17 at 6 p.m. Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein writes, “Scientists,

smugglers, and spies — this book is an exciting and enlightening scientific detective story. The tale is about far more than a new form of matter; it is also a thrilling and wonderfully written look at how science works.” Paul J. Steinhardt is on the faculty of both the departments of Physics and Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton. He cofounded and directs the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science. He has received the Dirac Medal and other prestigious awards. With his student, Dov Levine, Steinhardt first invented the theoretical concept of quasicrystals before they were synthesized in a laboratory. In 2014, the International Mineralogical Association named a new mineral “steinhardtite” in his honor.

A Player for All Seasons: Dexter Gordon Sets the Pace My life has a happy ending. — Dexter Gordon (1923-1990) t’s that time of year, Princeton’s in its glory, baseball’s here again, and I’m driving with the windows down listening to Dexter Gordon, a player for all seasons. I can choose from postwar wonders like “Dexter Rides Again,” where Long Tall Dexter comes charging, guns blazing, out of the box, or it might be the headlong post-penitentiary euphoria of “Daddy Plays the Horn” and “Stanley the Steamer,” or the sound of his early 1960s New York renaissance in Go, surely the only jazz album to make it into a Swedish novel in which a character who hears it feels “blessed, clear-headed and strong,” for when you’ve listened to Dexter “you tell nothing but the truth for a long while.” That quote from Svante Foerster’s novel is among the riches in Maxine Gordon’s Sophisticated Giant: The Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon (Univ. of California Press), which was the subject of a lively, jazz-ambient conversation late last month at Labyrinth Books between Maxine and Richard Lawn, the author of Experiencing Jazz, and All About Jazz’s Victor L. Schermer. The only thing lacking was a set of speakers so that everyone present could hear samples of the tenor saxophonist’s massive sound; instead, people happily settled for the story of the fan who fainted when he heard the real thing in person. They Met in 1490 The giant Maxine Gordon lived with for the last 15 years of his life was a much more interesting, sympathetic, and multi-dimensional character than the word “sophisticated” would suggest. The book borrows the title of the 1977 album that marked Gordon’s triumphant return to the United States after 15 years in Europe, a feat skillf u l l y o r c h e s t r a t e d b y h i s m a n a g e r, then known as Maxine Gregg. When asked by a journalist when he and Maxine first met, Dexter said, “The first time was around 1490, but it took us many lifetimes to work things out to find each other again.” That’s just the sort of answer you’d expect from a musician who liked to tell audiences the lyrics of ballads before playing them and who wrote a birthday poem for a wife who can live “under pressure,” handle prob lems “with pleasure,” and feed her “wild and hungry family with ease/ While maneuvering the telephone with one hand” as the other “rattles the pots and pans.” Two Tall Men I should say up front that the Dexter Gordon I’ve found most exciting is the one wailing with fellow gladiator Wardell Gray in the marathon tenor sax battles that produced jazz best sellers like “The Chase” and “The Hunt.” I’ve always found it impossible

to listen to Gordon without thinking of Gray, whose life and death and music have haunted me for the past 20 years. After reading Sophisticated G i a n t , I h a v e a b e t t e r u n d e r s t a n ding of the bond between these two friendly virtuosos, one who survived productively into his sixties against all odds, the other who died under suspicious circumstances at the age of 34. Physically, both were well over six feet, though Gordon at 6’6 had the advantage. While Dexter was a seriously imposing presence, Wardell attracted nicknames like Bones and the Thin Man. Both players were compulsive readers, Gray with a taste for Sartre and Camus, Gordon with a special fondness for J.P. Donleavy’s picaresque classic The Ginger Man, which he carried with him everywhere in a duffle bag full of books that included the copy of Les Miserables he first read while learning French during his enforced 15-month “vacation” in the “open prison” at Chino State Penitentiary. Although Les Miserables had a special meaning for Dexter because of his French ancest r y, h e r e l a t e d to the story in other ways, as when he and Maxine were detained at the Paris airport because of his “previous drug offenses” and he told an apologetic French Minister of Culture Jack Lang “that he felt like Jean Valjean, who was imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread.” At the end of the “Trouble in Paris” chapter, Dexter says, “I had forgotten that the past never leaves you even if you fly first class on Air France and are staying at the Hotel Crillon and have been nominated for an Oscar. They will always find a way to remind you that you were once arrested for using drugs.” Home Movie Gordon had originally intended to write his own story, which he imag ined in the improvisatory spirit of The Ginger Man, with its “comic element,” its “unexpectedness,” the way “the thoughts would sometimes rush at you.” Rather than writing “along a linear timeline,” he “wanted to improvise and have the book play out like a long jazz set.” Although Maxine

insisted that an outline was necessary, one of the strengths of Sophisticated Giant is her willingness to go with Dexter’s flow. The result is an intimate sense of how he passed his time, how he slept, what he dreamed, what he feared. In 1986, when he and Maxine were at their house in Cuernavaca during the period before he played his lifechanging role in Bertrand Tavernier’s Round Midnight, Gordon had a dream in which “his old friend Ben Webster — who had died in 1973 and whose tenor sax, a Selmer Mark VI, Dexter would play for the rest of his life — walked into the bedroom and sat down on the side of the bed. Dexter said he felt the bed sink down quite a bit under Ben’s weight,” a detail to savor if you have any notion of Webster’s physical magnitude. When Ben says, “Hey Dex, I heard you can’t play anymore,” Dexter’s frighte n e d , “ T h a t ’s not true, Ben,” and Ben says, “If it’s not true, prove it....Get up and start practicing.” Instead of closing the door on the anecdote of the dream, Maxine keeps it in p l a y, r e c o u n t ing how Dexter increased “the intensity of his practicing,” and “would wake up, have his breakfast, walk barefoot around the garden, and then start playing long tones, followed by scales, chords, melodies, and vigorous lines o f i m p r o v i s a t i o n . ” N o w i t ’s a h o m e movie: “Our garden had beautiful bird of paradise and hibiscus plants, and Dexter would walk around and check out the trees and plants. Sometimes he would sit by the pool thinking and practicing.” Jazzing Up the Mets At this point Maxine reminds us that Round Midnight is looming, which is why Dexter’s practicing, he’s rusty, but the one thing he isn’t concerned about is his acting. “He felt that most jazz musicians could act if need be. They had to act their way out of a lot of situations in their lives on the road, and they had to act in front of an audience most nights.” Then she remembers something that has nothing to do with performing or audiences or advancing the narrative. “At heart,”

she writes, “Dexter was a very quiet man who liked to stay home and read a book or watch a baseball game on television. We had a satellite dish installed on the roof for just that reason. Dexter was a big fan of the New York Mets, and they, like Dexter, were in the midst of a very good run.” Here, in spite of that nice pairing of runs, a demanding editor might be nudging the author to get to the filming of Round Midnight and the Oscar Night festivities and all that glamorous Hollywood stuff. Instead Maxine jumps ahead to let us know that after the film premiered in October 1986, she and Dexter returned to New York in time to watch the Mets defeat the Boston Red Sox and win the World Series. She then proceeds to devote a full page to Dexter’s fantasy of the 1986 Mets as a hard-swinging big band in which each player has an instrument or role to play, Keith Hernandez on lead alto, Gary Carter on baritone sax, and, no surprise, Daryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden as the Dexter and Wardell of the tenor section, with Mookie Wilson on drums, Rafael Santana on percussion, and three vocalists, Tim Teufel, Lee Mazzilli, and Roger McDowell performing as The Amazettes. Now imagine that just as Maxine is temped to placate the editor and skip the baseball fantasy, a familiar voice in her head says Don’t do it and a familiar weight settles down next to h e r, c a u s i n g t h e s o f a t o s i n k a b i t . And instead of writing about Dexter in Paris and Hollywood, she goes back to Cuernavaca and how her husband exercises in the pool, drinks “horrible-tasting herbal teas,” and considers his afternoon nap the most important part of the day. The Closer e s , b a s e b a l l ’s h e r e a g a i n a n d I’m thinking that as much as I like Dexter’s Mets-as-a-big-band idea, I like it even better the other way around, with, say, a line-up of heavy hitters like John Coltrane and Sonny R o l l i n s u p f r o n t , B e n We b s t e r h i t ting clean-up, Charlie Parker batting lead-off, and pork-pie-hatted manager Lester Young in the dug-out sending signals to Lady Ben. And on defense, how about Thelonious Monk on the mound, with his crazy stuff, and Bird in the outfield making unreal over-theshoulder catches. And for the closer, the big guy who comes in to save every game in the top of the ninth, who else but Long Tall Dexter? —Stuart Mitchner

Boheme Opera NJ Celebrates 30th Anniversary with Verdi Masterpiece

oheme Opera NJ is marking its 30th anniversary this season, and the regional opera company is not celebrating quietly. In this past weekend’s productions at the College of New Jersey’s Kendall Mainstage Theater, Boheme Opera NJ took on a blockbuster from a master of Italian dramatic opera in Giuseppe Verdi’s monumental Aida. An opera in four acts (the last two are often combined), Verdi’s 1871 Aida was a departure for the composer in that there were no show-stopping arias of vocal fireworks for superstar singers; rather, the technical demands were evenly spread among all performers. The principal singers assembled by Boheme Opera NJ for Friday night’s performance (the production was repeated Sunday afternoon) consistently demonstrated their mastery of Verdi’s rich harmonic score and musical drama. Against a simple set leaving much of the locale depiction to a digital backdrop, the performers in this production were able to easily captivate the audience throughout the poignant story. The timeframe of Aida is deliberately vague and open to interpretation, described only as during the “Old Kingdom of Egypt” (covering a good four centuries), and Boheme Opera NJ placed the story “during the reign of the Pharaohs,” with virtual set artist J. Matthew Root’s digital scenery showing settings of Luxor in Upper Egypt and inner tombs of pyramids while the opening orchestral prelude was played. The orchestra assembled in the pit, and led by Artistic Director and Conductor Joseph Pucciatti, began the opera to the digital accompaniment of the Nile River flowing by as lean violins and graceful wind solos moved the tempo along as smoothly as the Nile. The first individual to sing, bass Martin Hargrove as the High Priest Ramphis, might have been considered a “secondary” character compared to Princess Aida and military captain Radames, but no character in a Verdi opera is really “secondary”— the same vocal power and stamina is required of all. With effortless Italian (the production was presented with English supertitles), Hargrove presented a solid bass sound throughout the performance. Often accompanied by a clean and steady brass section in the orchestra, Hargrove was always in control of the role, whether overseeing the soldiers and townspeople or leading the other characters in a dramatic direction. The role of Amneris, daughter of the King of Egypt, was sung by contralto Alison Bolshoi, formerly an international performer as a dramatic soprano and now at home in the contralto repertory. This role ranged from the vocal basement to the upper stratosphere of the mezzo voice, and

Bolshoi proved herself during the evening to be one of the strongest forces onstage. Her Act II duet with Aida (sung by soprano Marsha Thompson) was sung with richness and effective communication between the two well-matched singers and was clearly a high point of the production. Soprano Thompson brought a background of singing Wagner and Verdi to her performance as Aida, and was convincing and believable from the outset, emerging from her subservient position to Amneris and daughter of the King of Ethiopia to command the stage as a powerful singer and personality. Thompson was always able to be heard over an orchestra which sometimes played too loud, and her Act I prayerful aria claiming her loyalty to both country and family was introspective and lyrical. She presented Aida’s Act II aria “O patria mia” with sensitivity and control, delicately accompanied by Leslie Godfrey’s solo oboe playing. Tenor Todd Wilander sang the role of Aida’s love interest, Radames, with a bit of vocal trouble from time to time — ending some high passages softly, rather than with the power the drama required, but settled into the character as the opera progressed. Often accompanied by brass fanfares, Wilander effectively captured the military nature of the story. Wilander’s closing scene with Thompson as Radames and Aida were entombed in a vault ended the production with sublime pathos, aided by the placement of the vault in one of the alcoves in the hall, which brought the action closer to the audience. Other characters were well performed by baritone Kenneth Overton, singing the role of the King of Ethiopia; bass-baritone Charles D. Carter in the role of the King of Egypt; and Emmanuel Acosta, who although he had a small role as the Messenger, sang with a very appealing lyric tenor voice. Joseph Pucciatti prepared a chorus which, although more men would have made a stronger sound, showed a women’s choral sound mastering the high notes well. The brass in the orchestra were especially precise in the well-known Act II “Triumphal March,” and the Princeton Youth Ballet members who joined the action demonstrated clever geometric choreography with impressive lifts and spins. oheme Opera NJ chose to celebrate its 30 years of presenting opera with Aida — a theatrical classic, vocal challenge, and audience-pleaser wrapped up in one production. This past weekend’s performances showed that Boheme Opera NJ looks for the highest level of performance in its cast members and is understandably proud of both retaining singers from show to show and introducing new talent to the operatic community. —Nancy Plum

THEATER REVIEW

Married Authors Read About Each Other’s Secrets in “Fiction”; Pegasus Theatre Company Presents Steven Dietz’s Tragicomedy

hen author Linda Waterman is diagnosed with a malignant tumor and given three weeks to live, she secures a promise from her husband Michael, who also is a writer, that he will read her diaries after she dies. She also asks him to let her read his journals. This request makes him edgy, but he agrees — after tearing a page out of one of his notebooks. What follows is the unveiling of multiple layers of secrets in a seemingly close, if contentious, marriage — secrets that may or may not be true. Written by Steven Dietz, Fiction premiered in 2002 at Seattle’s ACT Theatre. Subsequently it was produced in 2003 by McCarter. The play returns to the Princeton area through the Pegasus Theatre Company. Fiction is poignant, but much of the dialogue is witty — Michael quips that film is a “medium” because “it’s neither rare nor well done.” Certain plot points are predictable, but Dietz is counting on that fact; he keeps the audience in suspense, until the end, about the exact nature of the characters’ pasts. “You’re the master of the coda, you know that? The tidy, definitive conceit,” Linda tells Michael. Michael starts to retort that he takes this as a compliment; Linda interrupts him to emphasize that he should not. In a monologue that is a journal entry, Michael reveals that this banter took place the first time he ever met Linda, whom he describes as “achingly vibrant,” at a café in Paris. The encounter turns out to be a blueprint for their relationship, in which tenderness is masked, and undercut, by barbs. We soon discover that the marriage also has more than its share of secrets. Opening Michael’s journals, Linda reads his account of the time he spent at the Drake Writer’s Retreat in New England. Asked to suggest possible writers for the colony, Linda had submitted Michael’s name, to help establish his career. She quips that “Michael hadn’t published a word; yet they invited my husband.” She herself had spent time writing at the colony; it is where Linda penned the initial drafts of her novel, At the Cape. At the Cape centers on a young American woman who is raped, and the African man who is framed for the crime. Michael describes a moment in the novel when the woman stands on a cliff “at the tip of Africa; a place called ‘False Bay,’” and sees a “line

of white water … where two worlds collide.” Michael tells us that the young woman is “on the verge … of taking her own life,” and adds that the scene “is a moment my wife wrote not from imagination, but from memory — because she was that woman.” Arriving at the retreat, Michael meets Abby, a mysterious woman who, we will learn, has special ties to the colony. This initial encounter seems inauspicious. Abby asks if Michael’s trip was okay; he quips, “No, I’m still at the airport. Can you call me a cab?” Abby coolly replies that she has seen “a hundred writers come through here, and not one of them could tell a joke to save their life.” Abby hands Michael a binder full of

general information about the colony, and abruptly leaves. Michael writes in his journal, “As she walks away, I know that whatever the future may hold, I will invent her forever.” It seems inevitable that Michael and Abby will have an affair. What is more surprising, however, is the sequence of events that occurs during Linda’s own stay at the colony, which we discover when Michael reads Linda’s journals. Director Peter Bisgaier clearly demarcates the play’s present from the journal entries that provide flashback sequences. However, the blocking avoids becoming predictable, as the time periods share both ends of the stage. Dietz wants the

audience off balance, and Bisgaier ensures that the production aids in that. If there is a minor flaw in the staging, it is that there are periods of time in which actors have their backs to the middle section of the audience for too long. However, Bisgaier elicits excellent performances from the cast, and the dynamics between all three characters are intriguing throughout the show. Jennifer Nasta Zefutie delivers a luminous portrayal of the vivacious Linda. Her impassioned line readings are matched by her confident use of body language. Subtle changes in facial expression, as Linda reacts to the entries she reads in Michael’s journal, are a crucial part of her performance. David C. Neal is entertaining as the glib Michael. He draws a successful balance between the character’s flippant cynicism and the tenderness that it hides. Sarah Stryker is suitably opaque as Abby. The full extent of her relationship with the other characters needs to be a mystery until late in the show, and Stryker is careful not to reveal too much about Abby’s emotions or motivations, until the appropriate moment. In tandem with Darren Sussman’s sound design, which evokes the flipping of pages, Katie Truk’s minimal but effective set aids Bisgaier in making the time periods distinct. At the foreground is a table and two chairs, to represent the café and the Waterman home. A desk is at the rear, where the scenes at the writers’ retreat take place. The stage looks like an open journal. Underneath the furniture are two large pieces of paper bearing one-liners such as “I am only good at two things: envy and criticism,” and “Did they know you were kidding?” obert Rutt’s lighting works with Chrissy Johnson’s costumes — which use a comparatively subdued palette that consists chiefly of gray, brown, and white — to create attractive stage pictures. In 2017 Pegasus presented Neil Simon’s Chapter Two, whose protagonist happens to be a widowed writer. Audiences who appreciate Simon’s work will enjoy Fiction, which is a veritable dictionary of wisecracks with an ache at its center. With a talented cast and creative team, this production by Pegasus makes the most of Dietz’s engaging script. —Donald H. Sanborn III

For the last few years, Princeton Record Exchange has ended up with over 1,500 pieces for sale. “We are taking a bit of gamble bringing in so many titles, but we want our customers to get what they are looking for, and so far the response has been amazing,” said owner Jon Lambert.

On Friday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m., Riverview Early Music will present a special performance at All Saints’ Church in Princeton, 16 All Saints’ Road. Featured on the program will be François Couperin’s Trois Leçons de Ténèbres (Three Lessons of Tenebrae), considered to be

one of the greatest works of Baroque vocal music.

In addition, this meditative Lenten program will contain other music for two voices from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, including works by Hildegard von Bingen, Josquin des Prez, Pierre de la Rue, Heinrich Schütz, MarcAntoine Charpentier, and Chiara Margarita Cozzolani. The concert will be performed by sopranos Rebecca Mariman and Abigail Chapman; Kerry Heimann on organ; Mimi Morris-Kim on Baroque cello; and John Orluk Lacombe on theorbo. The suggested donation is $20 at the door.

David Hare’s “Skylight” At McCarter Theatre

On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis (Mahira Kakkar) receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant (Greg Wood), a successful and charismatic restaurateur. As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship with food and wine, only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires. Skylight won the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play and an Olivier Award for Best Play. It was

originally produced at the National Theatre in 1995, before transferring to runs on the West End and Broadway.

Zane Pais About the production, Director Emily Mann said “Writer to writer, I greatly admire David’s crystalline writing. Though I knew David quite well in the 1980s, I have never before directed one of his plays. Skylight is a love story that simultaneously asks tough questions about the politics of the day. Always managing to keep the love story in the foreground and the politics deeply imbedded in the on-stage tension between the lovers, David Hare created his finest play.” T he c as t for Skylight features the return of Mahira Kakkar ( McCar ter’s productions of Christopher Durang’s Miss Witherspoon and Rachel Bonds’ Five Mile Lake), and Greg Wood (Ebenezer Scrooge in McCarter’s A Christmas Carol); and welcomes the McCarter debut of Zane Pais (Dead Poets Society at Classic Stage Company).

Summer Lineup of Events At Hopewell Theater

Live performances and stand-up comedy are among the highlights of this summer’s roster at Hopewell Theater, with events geared to children and adults. “Connection Beyond *LIVE* The VIP Experience with Medium Marisa Liza Pell” is Saturday, June 1. Live readings and individual messages are among the specialties of Pell, who has appeared on radio and television programs. On Saturday, June 8, the play Writer’s Block by Christopher Canaan will be performed. The play is described as an absurd comedy about the quirky but tortured mind of a writer who is plagued by the specter that deep down he is shallow. June 12 is Comedy Night, with John Poveromo and Joanne Filan. Brooklyn-born and Jersey, Poveromo blends self deprecation and optimism. He has been featured in the New York Times and the

New Jersey native Filan says she grew up in New Jersey “but refuses to die there.” The next Comedy Night is June 28, with “Ladies Let Loose” featuring Jackie Byrne and Marion Grodin. Byrne is a stand-up comic, actor, and host who has been featured on Funny or Die and Buzzfeed, as well as the feature film, Seclusion. Grodin has performed at Standup NY and Gotham Comedy Club, where she regularly headlines. Comedy Night continues July 11 with Jess Salomon, a Canadian now based in New York. She was a 2017 StandUp NBC finalist. Before comedy, she was a U.N. war crimes lawyer. “Summer Lovin’ Storytelling Night” is Friday, July 12. Host Danny Artese leads this special storytelling event that pays homage to all things summer and summertime. A rotating cast of storytellers is to be announced. The Traveling L anter n Theatre Company presents My Mother, The Astronaut on July 13.

According to Michael Chovan-Dalton, the gallery’s director and curator, Stern’s exhibit explores the classical narratives on tragedy and power in a way that allows the viewer to enter and reexamine these tales through the use of contemporary construction. “The images and the materials are both garish and luxurious,” said ChovanDalton. “Stern works with historical and literary moral touchstones that have influenced and guided Western culture for much of its history. Her treatment of these stories and events are meant

classic beauty, and conventional circumstances.” A professor of photography at Columbia University, Stern received her BFA in photography and the history of art and visual culture in 2011 from the Rhode Island School of Design, attended Skowhegan in 2014, and graduated from Columbia University in 2016 with an MFA in visual arts. Her work has been featured in BOMB, ArtFCity, Hyperallergic, and Matte Magazine. JKCG hours are Mondays, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; and Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. for more information, visit www.mccc. edu/JKCgallery.

“ORPHEUS LOOKED”: Works by New York-based photographer Rachel Stern will be on display in at Mercer County Community College’s James Kerney Campus Gallery in Trenton April 11 through May 9. A community reception and artist talk take place Wednesday, April 17, 5 to 7 p.m.

Levell’s unique approach of transforming the familiar into the magical. “Diane, a fearless adventurer and pioneer, continues to surprise, experiment, and push the boundaries of photography, and challenges viewers to slow down and look closely enough for an alchemical transformation of matter to take place before their eyes,” says Michener Executive Director Kathleen V. Jameson. “Her works are marked by poetic beauty coupled with technical prowess, and it has been a delightful experience to work with her on this presentation.” Levell spent much of her career in Europe, after attending Endicott College for architecture and interior design, studying fine arts at the University of Delaware, and eventually receiving her master’s degree from George Washington University. She began experimenting with alternative photographic processes as early as the 1970s. But it was while she was living in Germany that she began to master her art, culminating with eight one-person exhibitions at renowned museums and cultural institutions. Although she credits her worldly adventures as impressionable, it is while growing up in Bucks County that she attributes some of the greatest influences on her present work. “I am so fortunate to cherish many wonderful experiences traveling and living abroad, but the beauty of Bucks County drives my passion to represent it as the special place it is,” says Levell. “It is an honor to share my latest developments at a community-driven institution like the Michener Art Museum.” At a young age, Diane befriended Pearl Buck’s daughter. She spent a lot of time with the family, who impressed a critical perspective on the Asian influence represented in her work today. She drew inspiration from the colors, methods, and use of different mediums. Consequently, Levell presently puts a focus on the pristine beauty of the region. She tackles the technical hurdle of presenting her enchanting images on rice paper. This feat is further enhanced with her precise manipulation of color and tone, resulting in breathtaking views of picturesque Bucks County throughout the seasons.

Breakthrough

Inspirational Memoir Recounts Teen’s True Tale of Survival

espite having a couple of generic American names, John Smith’s (Marcel Ruiz) life story has been anything but boring. It’s just too bad that the shy 14-year-old has been too embarrassed to share it. He was born in Guatemala, but raised in Missouri by Brian (Josh Lucas) and Joyce Smith (Chrissy Metz), the missionary couple that adopted him as an infant. But even the terrific childhood they provided couldn’t supply answers to nagging questions that still burdened the boy in junior high, like wondering why his birth mom didn’t love him enough to keep him. John was so traumatized that he gave his teacher an excuse the day he was supposed to make a class presentation about his family tree. Luckily, he did have a couple of buddies to hang out with in Josh (Isaac Kragten) and Reiger (Nikolas Dukic). However, the three could be a little rebellious, like on the afternoon of January 15, 2015 when they were warned by a stranger not to tempt fate by wandering out onto seemingly-frozen Lake St. Louis. But they did, and fell through the ice, one after another. Rescue teams arrived soon enough to save two of the kids within minutes, but John had slipped so far beneath the surface that it took the extraordinary effort of one very

determined fireman (Mike Colter) to belatedly find him by poking around in the 12-foot deep waters with a stick. John had no pulse, since he’d been submerged over 15 minutes. Yet, that didn’t discourage first responders and then the ER physician on duty (Sam Trammell) at nearby St. Joseph’s Hospital from trying repeatedly to revive him. Miraculously, John did come around after about an hour, which prompted an airlift to the top doctor in the field (Dennis Haysbert) in the St. Louis area. Thus unfolds Breakthrough, a true tale of survival based on a moving memoir by Joyce Smith. Since each step of the feat recounted here had been accompanied by prayer, the question triggered again and again is whether the operation succeeded because of state-of-the-art medical care, divine intervention, or a combination of both. An edge-of-your-seat, faith-oriented medical drama, equally riveting in terms of spiritual and worldly concerns. Excellent (H H H 1/2 stars). Rated PG for peril and mature themes. Running time: 116 minutes. Production Companies: Fox 2000 Pictures/20th Century Fox. Distributor: 20th Century Fox. —Kam Williams

Even with the new look of many of today’s buildings, A. Pennacchi & Sons’ focus is the restoration of older buildings and retaining the character of the original structures. “My worst enemy is the demolition ball,” says Pennacchi. “We like to think of ourselves as the plastic surgeons of masonry. We love to repair and restore.” Pennacchi, who is a member of Brick Layers Local Union #5, knows how important it is to be handson in the business, and he appreciates the skill, workmanship, and experience of his employees. “As a bricklayer and stone mason, you serve a four- or five-year apprenticeship to a skilled mason,” he explains. “It is such a valuable experience. Our employees are our greatest asset. They are very skilled at what they do, and have their own specialties, and they are very dedicated. “We have people who are stone masons, others who are marble setters and tile setters, others who specialize in basement waterproofing, and still others who are plasterers. Each worker specializes in a particular area, and here at Pennacchi & Sons, we all work as a team.” Hands-On The time frame for projects varies considerably depending on the scope of the job, he says. Also, in some cases, work can be done in stages, which can be helpful for budget considerations. “We are diversified, and do all kinds and sizes of jobs. We’ll fix steps at a house, sidewalks, chimneys, patios, etc. A job could take one day, a week, three weeks, months, or a year — it really varies. We’re very hands-on. I am always here, and we are partners with our clients. “I will estimate how many hours, how many days, how many workers, and how much material will be needed for the job. There are no hidden costs or surprises. Clients know they can count on us. “Also, remember, the work we do is a basic necessity, not a

FAMILY TIES: “Ours is a real family business. It has included my grandfather, my dad and uncle, my brother and me, my son, and also two nephews. We have all been part of establishing and continuing A. Pennacchi & Sons Masonry Restoration Company, which is now 72 years old.” Paul Pennacchi (right), owner and president of the Hamilton-based company, is shown with his son Paul Jr. luxury. When steps are broken or water is flooding the basement, this all has to be fixed.” A. Pennacchi & Sons is a member of the Mercer County Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau, the Newport Historical Preservation Society, is registered by the state of New Jersey as Historical Preservation Contractors, and is certified as Jahn Applicators. Working with a variety of clients from different backgrounds and in different locations is an ongoing pleasure, says Pennacchi. “I enjoy meeting different people every day. It can be the CEO of the Liz Clairborne Company one day or an artist in Trenton the next day. I love the opportunity to meet and interact with all these different people. I love this business!” He is very proud of his

company’s longevity and fine reputation. Continuing the family tradition is especially fulfilling, he adds. “I feel I am the custodian for this generation, and it is our goal that our business will continue and do well. And now, my son Paul Jr. has been in the business for five years, and it is such a privilege to work with him. We look forward to continuing to enjoy our work and provide an important service for our clients. “As my friend Martin Siegel of Hamilton Jewelers said to me when I once asked him ‘How’s work?’ — he answered, ‘I’ve never worked a day in my life!’ Like Marty, I love what I do. I feel lucky every day when I am here.” For further information, call (609) 394-7354 Website: www.apennacchi.com. —Jean Stratton

s it time to dry out? A re t h ere l i ng er i ng puddles and even wading pool-type conditions in your basement after a strong and steady rain?

IT’S NEW To Us

Have small creatures found an inviting home in the cellar? Various insects, and even mice, who may stop by for a drink in a puddle? That damp basement may not only invite unwelcome visitors and be unsightly, it can cause a host of problems, including serious health issues, such as asthma and allergies. Mold on the walls and unpleasant musty odors emanating from excess humidity are just some of the challenges that exist in many basements in Princeton and the surrounding area. Since much of Princeton is located in wetland conditions, this is an ongoing problem. And if all of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates that 60 percent of U.S. homeowners have wet basements, and 38 percent run the risk of basement mold. 25 Years B.Q. Basement Systems, located at 525 Bethlehem Pike in Erdenheim, Pa., has 25 years of experience in waterproofing, foundation and crawl space repair, and sump pump and dehumidi-

fier installation, all focused on helping to make a wet basement dry. Owned by Brian Quinn, the company has consistently received high praise from customers, and is also the recipient of numerous awards, including the Customer Service Excellence Award from the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce; and an A-Plus rating from the Better Business Bureau. It was also recognized as a top dealer for its work with basement systems at the 2013 Basement Systems Convention. Serving not only an extensive area of Pennsylvania, the company is also active in New Jersey, including Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington, Lawrenceville, and Trenton, as well as South Jersey. It currently has more than 3,000 Mercer County customers and more than 15,000 in the Delaware Valley, reports Marketing Manager Margaret McGonigle. “Like many great American entrepreneurial stories, Brian Quinn’s began in 1997 with a huge risk,” she observes. “He left a steady job because he had a vision of introducing a better, more effective, longer-lasting way to fix a problem.” Ideas and Dreams “I started this business in the basement of my row home in Philadelphia with ideas and dreams,” recalls Brian Quinn. “It’s 25 years later, and we now have 70 employees and more than 15,000 customers!” Adds McGonigle, “The company has grown from

one crew to 15 crews, and on any given day, you may find Brian, his mother Peggy, and his son Brian working in different departments in the company. “What began as a company that specialized in permanent basement waterproofing, which includes installing sump pumps and dehumidifiers, has grown into a company which also fixes crawl spaces and structural foundation issues. If left unfixed, wetness and humidity can lead to mold, electrical hazards, and even structural damage. Since we all breathe the air which comes from basements or crawl spaces, this can cause serious problems. Mold can lead to asthma and allergies, not to mention damage to property and invitations to insects to enter the wet environment. “Crawl spaces tend to have high humidity and/or water issues,” she continues. “Left untreated, these problems can cause rotted floor joists and sagging beams, wet insulation, cold floors, and loss of energy. It can also result in termite, other insect, and rodent infestation, as well as structural damage.” Depending on the size of the project, jobs typically last from a few hours to three days. One to two days is normal for basement and crawl space waterproofing and repair. In addition to its work with wet basements, B.Q. has recently added concrete leveling to its list of services. As McGonigle explains, “This is a process we use to lift and level pool decks, sidewalks,

Most sinking concrete is due to erosion and poor backfill from initial construction. Average job time for concrete leveling is a few hours.” Historic Landmark Always focused on being a constructive part of the community, B.Q. Basement Systems is host to many organizations in its community room, she adds, and the company has been recognized for saving and restoring a historic landmark. In 2015, Brian Quinn pur-

chased The Wheel Pump Inn. This historic inn, built in 1735, was a landmark restaurant, later becoming a lamp store until it closed some years ago. “Brian had this restored in 2017,” says McGonigle, “and he expanded our offices into the building last year. He prides himself on our customer experience, company culture, and community involvement.” Looking back on his achievements, Quinn notes that it has been a learning experience. “I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the

way, but I grew up being told that you never run away from mistakes. You fix what is wrong, learn, and move on. “This attitude is what the company is built on. Delivering the best company experience. This means delivering great customer service, being a great company to work for, and giving back to the community. That’s how I was taught, and that’s how B.Q. runs today.” For further information, call (800) 339-2070. Visit the website at www.bqbasementsystems.com. —Jean Stratton

Haney Helps PU Women’s Lax Pass Major Test, Coming Up Big as Tigers Rally to Edge Dartmouth

n the midst of wrapping up her thesis, Julia Haney helped the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team pass a giant test. The Princeton senior attacker had two goals and two assists in the Tigers’ 14-12 comeback win at Dartmouth on Saturday. “The win against Dartmouth was huge,” said Haney. “Going into the game, we were super prepared. We knew we needed to come out ready to go from the first whistle. This stretch of the season is by far the most important. Every game counts and it’s always awesome when you come out on top.” The win helped Haney get through a stressful time. The history of science major was completing her thesis, and at the same time balancing her role in helping Princeton to another Ivy League championship. After this week, her thesis behind her and the Ivy title pursuit ahead. “It’s going well,” said Haney. “The thesis process is pretty stressful, but the fact that it’s a year-long process isn’t too bad. Tying up the loose ends is a little stressful at times.” The victory over Dartmouth had major implications for the Ivy standings and the league postseason tournament. The Tigers improved to 7-3 overall, 2-1 Ivy

and sit in the fourth and final spot for the Ivy tournament that grants the winner an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Princeton has won the last five Ivy tournaments and five straight Ivy regular-season crowns. “We had the Columbia win,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer. “We knew with the early loss to Brown that we didn’t give ourselves a lot of wiggle room. We know what we want and so you have to go out hard every day. You can’t be too focused on it and have it make you tight. You have to focus on the game and prepare well for your opponent and put everything you have out on the field. That’s what we’ll do every game coming up and things will sort themselves out as they sort themselves out. Penn had to come from behind to get a one-goal win over Brown so they’ve proven to be a formidable opponent in the league. It’s going to be close at the top, and hopefully building off the two wins we had last week, we can keep the momentum going.” Penn is 3-0 in Ivy play while Cornell and Dartmouth are each 3-1. Princeton sits ahead of Brown, which is 2-2, but beat the Tigers head-to-head. The 16th-ranked Tigers ended Dartmouth’s six-game winning streak and will play all

Ivy teams the rest of the way after hosting No. 11 Loyola (9-3) on April 10. “We are all so excited at this point,” said Haney. “Something that’s really cool about the season this year is it’s anyone’s game every time you step on the field. Every opponent we see is going to be a good one. We’ve realized the importance of preparing in practice. I think we’re really excited every time we step on the field. We’re really excited to see the Greyhounds on Wednesday and keep this little streak we have going.” By edging Dartmouth, Princeton posted its second straight win since dropping two straight to Brown and Maryland. Princeton defeated Villanova 16-6, coached by former Tiger standout Julia Shaner Young, on April 2 before traveling to New Hampshire. Princeton found itself in a dogfight on Saturday as the Big Green held a 12-11 lead with 10 minutes to go before Princeton scored three unanswered goals over the final 7:39. Kyla Sears scored the tying goal, and then fed Kathryn Hallett with 3:00 for the go-ahead score. Sears found Tess D’Orsi with an insurance goal with 1:02 left. “Kyla is such a competitor and she’s always looking for ways to be threatening or to

set her teammates up,” said Sailer. “She’s playing a little different role for us this year. Last year she was very much a cutter and she would cut inside and get feeds and finish in tight. This year, she’s playing much more on the perimeter and dodging and feeding other people so you see her numbers really change and she’s becoming more of an offensive threat off the assist.” Sears finished with two goals and five assists while D’Orsi finished with five goals on nine shots. “Tess had a couple rough shooting games in a row so it was nice to see her break out of that,” said Sailer. “That’s really going to get her confidence going into the last third of the season. They do have a nice little connection. We try to get Kyla to see the whole field, but she does love to pass to Tess.” Sam Fish made 11 saves and Princeton got terrific defensive efforts from Nonie Andersen and Alex Argo to hold Dartmouth down after the Tigers took the lead late. “My heart was definitely beating hard in the last minutes of the game,” said Haney. “The sense of belief we have in each other from start to finish of that whole game, and definitely in that stretch was amazing, and I have full confidence that that belief is what brought us the win. We had so many people step up. Sam Fish in the goal making save after save, to our defense making some unbelievable plays to get us the ball back, especially when we were having some trouble with the draw. We had many attackers scoring goals, getting the assist, making that next play that fueled us.” The trio of Sears, D’Orsi, and Elizabeth George, who had a goal and an assist Saturday, garner a lot of attention on the attack end, but what makes Princeton even more dangerous is some of the strength they have beyond them. Hallett had two goals and an assist to log her 100th career point. And Haney had four points to match her career high set earlier this season against Penn State. “I’m just so thankful to be on such a supportive team,” said Haney. “That’s what I love, that we have such unselfish play on the field. I attribute every time that I’m on the field getting points, I attribute that to my teammates. We’re always trying to make each other better. I’m so thankful I have such an awesome cast with me on the attacking end. It’s been such a blessing and honor to play alongside them and finish out my last year at Princeton on what we’re anticipating will be a high note.” Haney, for her part, has seen an increase in production in each of her four years. She played in five games as a freshman, but did not score. She had seven points as a sophomore in a reserve role. She jumped to 17 points last year and this year ranks fifth on the team in points with 20 on nine goals and 11 assists. She was one of the bright spots in the loss to No. 2 Maryland with two goals and an assist.

MAKING HAY: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Julia Haney gets ready to unload the ball in recent action. Last Saturday senior attacker Haney tallied four points on two goals and two assists to help Princeton rally to a 14-12 win at Dartmouth. The 16th-ranked Tigers, now 7-3 overall and 2-1 Ivy League, host No. 11 Loyola (9-3) on April and Harvard on April 13. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “It’s been great to see Julia in the Maryland game and this game, in particular, she stepped up early for us,” said Sailer. “She’s such a poised player and I think she’s having a great year. She’s a leader on the field and she knows what we need at any given time in the game. When she has the opportunities or sees an opening to cut inside or to take the drive, she’s composed and poised in front of the net and is able to get some nice finishes. We’re really pleased with her continued development as a senior. We have a lot of kids on the attack that get a lot of attention and focus and she’s one of the critical pieces of that unit that makes that unit work.” Haney appreciates being a cog in the offensive machine, having filled her role well this year as the attack looks to become even more productive. “Honestly, my main role on attack is being that behind cage feeder,” said Haney. “We have awesome players all over the attack – Kyla, Tess, and Elizabeth, who are powerful in so many ways. Being in the right place at the right time and if I’m flashing back to ball after I give a pass to the elbow or something and I’m able to catch and score, that’s great, but I love the opportunity to be behind cage, have my eyes up and see open cutters when they’re there and hit them. I think we’re really dynamic as a whole on attack, and that’s something I hope we can continue to showcase in upcoming games.” Sailer was happy with the team’s development in its most recent games as the Tigers improved in their shooting and decision making. “We were really smart how we moved the ball against their zone and we were really patient and waited for

looks,” said Sailer. “We’ve become a much better team against the zone than we were when we played Brown a couple weeks ago.” Princeton is ready for another stern test from Loyola o n We d n e s d a y. B e y o n d that, the remainder of the Ivy schedule begins with Harvard visiting Class of 1952 Stadium on Saturday before the Tigers finish the Ivies with three straight road games. “That’s the beauty of the season, seeing the improvement you have through the course of the couple months that you’re on the field,” said Haney. “There are lots of things we’re aware of that we can improve on. We’ve started to see some of those improvements take hold. Speaking from the attack end, something we’ve been focusing on and trying to get better at is realizing the value of possession, being smart with the ball, and trying to capitalize every time we’re down on our attacking end. But something that I love is we’re always ready and we’re always bringing the intensity to every game, so that’s something I’m never worried about not being there.” The intensity and focus was there to the end last week when Princeton needed it to pull out a close road game, giving the Tigers momentum as they head into the Ivy stretch drive. “When they made their run we were able to respond and ultimately pull out the game by scoring the last three goals,” said Sailer. “That’s a huge testament to our resilience, toughness, and belief. I’m really proud of the team for the way they played against a really good Dartmouth team.” —Justin Feil

As Lori Dauphiny assesses her Princeton University women’s open crew team this spring, she believes the program’s Class of 2019 is poised to go out in a blaze of glory. With stars Claire Collins and Emily Kallfelz setting the tone, the team’s senior group brings a lot to the table. “It is a very strong senior class. Claire and Emily are our co-captains; they also went to U23 and have done well,” said Dauphiny. “Others around that class are also strong kids and leaders in their own right. I love every class, but this class definitely has many attributes. They are talented, they are achievers, they are strong, they are academically savvy so they have it all going on.” Dauphiny hopes that class strongly influences the program’s freshman group. “I think it is very fortunate that this freshman class gets to be a part of the team with this senior class,” said Dauphiny. “I always tell the freshman class, you have m ore opp or t u n it i e s but for the senior class, this is theirs.” The varsity eight seized opportunity in the opening regatta of the season on March 30 as it defeated Brown and Ohio State to retain the Class of 1987 Trophy. Princeton’s top boat covered the 2,000-meter course in a time of 6:15.8 with Brown coming in second at 6 :19.3 and Ohio State taking third in 6:19.5. “It was a very tight and c o m p e t i t i v e r a c e ,” r e called Dauphiny. “Brown was tough, they never go away. Ohio State has won numerous races and championships now; they were missing one or two of their international rowers. We will see Ohio down the road and they will be faster.” The Tigers had some great competition last Sunday as they hosted the Ivy League Invitational on Lake Carnegie. “It is really cool, the only other time that happened is our Ivy championship,” said Dauphiny. “There were over 350 women competing. All of the races went off without a hitch. It was just a fun and exciting event. It highlighted our league.” Two wins from Princeton’s top boat were among highlights of a long day for the Tigers. In the morning session, Princeton retained the Class of 1984 Plaque by defeating Harvard-Radcliffe, Penn and Dartmouth. Later, the Tigers earned the Class of 1975 Cup, besting Harvard and Cornell. “The 1V are consistent; their first race was good and Har vard-Radcliffe is fast,” said Dauphiny of her

top boat which is now 7-0 on the season and ranked fifth nationally. “It wasn’t their best either so they stepped aside and said we can do better as well.” The second varsity eight made big strides, placing second to Harvard-Radcliffe in the morning and then edging the Crimson in their second meeting of the competition. “The 2V turned around from first race to second race ; it was an inter nal change in that boat that was helpful,” said Dauphiny, whose boats went 21-1 on the day. “It was a bit of a wakeup call for them. In the morning, they had a rough race, so it wasn’t only the changes that were made between the first and second race, but it was also they came in and said we can do better than that. We have done better

than that in past races and they really turned it around.” Dauphiny knows her boats have to keep getting better as they face some formidable foes down the stretch of the regular season. “We have some big races coming up,” said Dauphiny, whose team hosts Yale and Texas on April 13 in the competition for the Eisenberg Cup with Wisconsin, Rutgers, Colu mbia, and Syracuse on the horizon in upcoming regattas. “It is good that we are going to see different competition but also that we are going to see some of the best competition within our own league and outside of the league. We need to race more. We need consistent training so we stay healthy and we need some resilience.” —Bill Alden

for the Princeton University baseball team. After graduating from the Singapore American School, West served two and a half years as a combat diver and naval officer in the Singapore Navy. He then applied to U.S. colleges and ultimately decided to matriculate to Princeton, arriving in the fall of 2015. “Initially coming to college as a 21-year-old freshman, I was older than everyone else and felt a little out of place,” said West. “That has made my college experience much more valuable. I was definitely more mature at 21 than I was at 18. Spending that time back home in the military has allowed me to get the most out of this experience here at Princeton.” West soon found a home with the Tiger baseball program. “I reached out to coach [Scott] Bradley who was kind enough to give me a chance to walk on to the team,” said West, a 6’1, 200-pound senior catcher. “Baseball has been the highlight of my Princeton experience; it has been the most fun thing I do.” Last Sunday, West didn’t have so much fun as Princeton fell to Columbia 2-1, a day after making a six-run rally in the eighth inning to pull out an 8-6 win over the Lions. “It was a big win for us yesterday and we were going to do our best to keep that momentum going and bring that forward today,” said West, who went 3-for-4 in the loss and extended his hitting streak to nine as the Tigers fell to 6-18 overall and 3-6 Ivy League. “Unfortunately, it didn’t quite translate. I thought overall we played pretty well. We just couldn’t do a job when we needed to.” Coming off a 2018 season which saw him hit .234 in taking over the starting catcher role for the Tigers, West has been getting the job done with aplomb in his final campaign. He now leads Princeton in batting average (.343 ) and RBIs (16). “It is really just not over thinking it, trying to see the ball big and put a good swing on the ball, one that is in the zone,” said West in assessing his progress this spring. “It is trusting myself and

some work to do in order to get into the top two and earn a spot in the league championship series. “We have every piece of the puzzle that we need to be a winning team,” said West. He will look to keep up his hot hitting as Princeton hosts Seton Hall for a single game on April 10 and then heads to Penn for a three-game set this weekend with a doubleheader slated for April 13 and a single game on April 14. “In these next couple of weeks, we are just going to have to put it all together.

He works his tail off for us and we really appreciate that. We really needed to get him one today and we just didn’t do it.” With Princeton tied for sixth in the Ivy standings

Sophomore Henderson Shows Finishing Touch As Cohesive PHS Girls’ Lax Tops Notre Dame Shoshi Henderson didn’t have to rack her brain to know the game plan for the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team as it hosted Notre Dame last Monday. The words “cohesive” and “unit” were scrawled in black magic marker on her hands. “We just had to work together,” said Henderson, noting that all of her teammates had the message written on their hands. “We had to spread out everything and we did a great job of doing that.” PHS got off to a great start against the normally stingy Notre Dame defense, jumping out to a 3-0 lead 13 minutes into the contest and extended that advantage to 8-2 by halftime. “We came in with a lot of intensity and they called the two timeouts early,” said Henderson. “We needed to keep going and never let up. We were ready to keep pushing.” The Tigers fought off a second half push from the Irish to secure a sweet 12-6 triumph and improve to 3-1. “We never wanted to let up,” said Henderson, who tallied two goals down the stretch and ended up with three on the afternoon. “We wanted to keep scoring. It is

always great to beat a rival.” For Henderson, it has been great to play at the attacking end with PHS senior star Mariana Lopez-Ona and junior standout Shaylah Marciano. “I have always looked up to them,” said Henderson of Lopez-Ona, who had three goals and two assists against Notre Dame while Marciano added a goal and four assists. “They always teach me; it is so amazing to play with them.” After a solid freshman season last spring, Henderson has learned those lessons well, emerging as a key scoring threat in her sophomore campaign. “Last year, I was new; over the winter I worked so hard,” said Henderson, who also competes for the Ultimate Lacrosse club program. “I think the biggest change is my confidence. I just came in knowing I could make a difference and have a role on this team. I have been able to do that and it is really great.” PHS head coach Meg Reilly was proud of the way her players executed the game plan. “The attack is so balanced and unselfish; they set each other up so well and they an-

ticipate the first, second, and third cutters,” said Reilly. “They are always aware of where everybody is. It was absolutely the cohesive unit of the players today, just playing together and supporting each other the entire time. They all trust each other. They are not afraid to take risks and make mistakes; they support each other in that.” Reilly is gaining trust in Henderson’s ability.“Shoshi is starting to take her own opportunities,” added Reilly. “She has always been such an unselfish player. She is realizing with her confidence this year how much she is capable of as well.” PHS got confident play from freshman goalie Gigi Peloso in the cage, as she made 12 saves against the Irish. “Gigi is such a humble, fierce goalie; she has no idea yet how good she is,” said Reilly. “I just tell her to stay as fearless as she always is. She is fearless in practice, she never steps out of the cage no matter how hard she gets hit. I told her to just trust herself and be more vocal. We are having her work on directing the defense more because she can see it. It is just a matter of her vocalizing it. I also told her to let loose with the clears because she can clear it really far and can also find the close girls.” The girls in front of Peloso also played very well. “I really have to give it to the defense,” said Reilly. “Morgan Mavoides was really the leader on defense today as well as Serena Bolitho.” In Reilly’s view, the biggest positive of the win may have been how PHS kept the pedal to the medal all the way to the final whistle. “I am happiest about how we kept the intensity and the momentum for a full game,” said Reilly, whose team was coming off a tough 15-12 loss at Pingry last Thursday. “This team has always been capable of that, but I think when we play together and we play in a united way, we are capable of so much more. We were able to put two halves together. Even when we were tired, we were able to persevere through it.” The Tigers were also able to show a physical edge to their game in the win over the Irish. “Princeton has always been a smart, finesse team,” said Reilly, whose squad will look to keep on the winning track as it plays at Allentown on April 11, hosts Columbia on April 13, and then plays at Princeton Day School on April 16. “I wanted us to be athletic, physical and aggressive as a team like Notre Dame is. Our finesse is there, they are brilliant lacrosse players. Now we are showing ourselves that we are just as aggressive as teams like Notre Dame.” Henderson, for her part, is confident that PHS can build on its brilliant start. “ We c a n d o a m a z i n g things, I think we can definitely win another sectional title and go further,” said Henderson. “Our team has so much chemistry, we play so well together. If we keep it up, we can really win a lot.” —Bill Alden

PHS Baseball Showing Resilience, Lifted by Durbin’s Hitting, Leadership Teddy Durbin has found a comfort level as he has moved into the number two spot in the batting order for the Princeton High baseball team this spring. “I am mainly a fastball hitter, that is what I am best at,” said the senior first baseman /pitcher Durbin. “In the two spot, you usually get a first pitch fastball which is ideal for me.” Last Wednesday against visiting Piscataway, Durbin got PHS started in the first inning, stroking a single and then coming around to score after an error, balk and wild pitch. “I w a s j u s t t r y i n g to put the ball in play,” said Durbin. “He was throwing first pitch fastballs and just looking for a ball I could hit to the outfield and get on first base.” Wit h PHS trailing 5 -1 in the bottom of the fifth, Durbin slashed a triple to right center to plate two runs and make it a 5-3 game. “I was just trying to look the other way and pick out the gap and I got a good piece of it,” said Durbin, reflecting on the hit. The Tigers narrowed the gap to 5-4 later in the inning on a double by Guatam Chawla but couldn’t get any closer than that as Piscataway went on to an 8-4 victory. While Durbin had hoped for a different result, he liked the fight displayed by PHS. “The team showed some good resilience there, which is promising for the rest of the season,” said Durbin. “It means that we are the type of team that doesn’t give up which is key for county and state runs.” Af ter a r un to Mercer County Tournament semifinals last spring, PHS is looking to peak in the postseason. “For the returning guys, it is a big deal; one of our main goals is to get a state win which we haven’t done yet here,” said Durbin, who is headed to Colby College where he will be competing for its Division III baseball program. “I think everybody is motivated and ready to go.” Serving as captain along with classmates Tommy Reid and Ben Amon, Durbin has enjoyed taking a larger role in motivating his teammates this spring. “It has definitely been fun, we all complement each other well,” said Durbin. “We mesh together well.” T he Tigers have been meshing well with new head coach Dom Capuano. “It has been a little different at times,” said Durbin. “He is a great coach, I have known him since seventh grade. It is good for us.” Capuano, for his par t, likes the good work he is getting from Durbin. “Teddy is doing well; he is one of the few bats right now that when you see him come up, you are pretty confident that he is going to do the right job,” said Capuano. “He is doing a good job but we need everyone else around him to rally through.” Although the PHS rally fell short against Piscataway, Capuano is encouraged by

his squad’s play in the early going. “It was good to see the comeback and it was good to see that we can hit,” said Capuano. “We just didn’t execute. We didn’t do it when we needed to do. We ran ourselves out of an inning. It is a good start.” S e n i o r r i g h t y p i tc h e r Amon gave PHS a good start, woking into the fifth inning after getting hit on his pitching arm with a line drive in the third. “He came out and competed,” said Capuano. “We are going to lean on him all year. It was good to see he came back. I was going to take him out but he asked to stay in. When you have a senior leader who you can rely on, you let him fight through that.” In Capuano’s view, PHS has the pieces in place to

be competitive this spring. “We are old on the mound and young ever y where else ; it is a good mi x,” said Capuano, whose team moved to 2-3 with an 11-0 loss to Notre Dame on Monday and hosts WW/P-South on April 10 and Allentown on April 12, plays at Princeton Day School on April 13, and then hosts Nottingham on April 15. “If the pitching can continue to keep us in these games, our hitting and fielding will come around.” Durbin shares Capuano’s confidence about the prospects for t he Tigers. “I would say this game showed a lot of positives and some negatives,” said Durbin. “It is a good stepping stone where we can have a game and take some things that we did well and need to continue for the rest of the season.” —Bill Alden

Carson Applegate hasn’t wasted any time making an impact this spring for the Hun School baseball team. The precocious freshman, who has already committed to attend the University of Kentucky and play for its Division I baseball program, has been the leadoff batter and starting center fielder for the Raiders from day one of his debut campaign. Applegate has enjoyed carving out a role for the Raiders. “As long as I fit into the team, whatever works best for team,” said Applegate. “We are practicing every day and getting better as a team, working to be the best we can.” Last Saturday, with undefeated Hun trailing Peddie 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Applegate proved to be a catalyst for the team. After Ben Petrone drew a walk, Ap-

plegate legged out a double. He later scored the go-ahead run on a run-down play, inducing Peddie pitcher Latrell Reid to overthrow the relay. “I was just trying to get on base; I know my teammates are alway behind me in everything that I do,” said Applegate. “All the relationships we have built in the offseason just really came together in that last moment. I was just waiting for the pitcher to make a move and try to get the runner out at second and I went.” With Hun having posted five straight routs to start the season, Applegate liked the character the Raiders displayed in rallying to the win over Peddie. “We are just relentless,” asserted Applegate, who hit his first career homer as Hun defeated St. Augustine 8-5

last Monday and improved to 7-0. “We had it easy in the beginning of the season and just coming from behind shows what we really can do. It is going to be an exciting season Applegate’s older brother, former Hun star Jason Applegate, now a senior pitcher for Villanova, has helped the freshman aspire to do big things. “My brother is a huge influence on me,” said Applegate. “He always pushes me to be the best I can and I look up to him. He is my mentor.” Hun head coach Tom Monfiletto was not surprised that Applegate helped spark the rally against Peddie. “That is the kind of stuff he provides, he is such a great athlete and he is aggressive,” said Monfiletto. “With him in the one hole, you can’t relax. If you put one over when he is at bat, he is going to go after it and he is going to get to base. He came through huge there. On the rundown, he went without me telling him. That is something we do practice, but he went at the right time and that was huge.” In Monfiletto’s view, it was huge for Hun to pull out the win over the Falcons. “I think it is great to go through a game like that,” said Monfiletto. “We knew exactly what we were going to get from Peddie. We knew they were going to be a really good test, especially with Latrell pitching, and he proved us right. He was fantastic all game long. They played excellent defense, they

had some great swings, they were not intimidated at all by Jack [Erbeck].” Senior pitcher Erbeck was very good in his own right, striking out six, walking one, and scattering three hits in going the distance. “Jack had to work hard,” said Monfiletto. “He is great. They are an aggressive team and they have a lot of energy. It was good.” Monfiletto likes the positive energy he is seeing from his squad so far this spring. “I am happiest about how much they enjoy each other’s success,” said Monfiletto. “The hitting has been great. We didn’t have many hits today but we hit the ball on the nose a couple of times, there was a diving catch in center field, [Dan] Melnick lined out to the right fielder and Jack Erbeck hit a 400-foot foul home run.” In assessing the team’s successful start, Monfiletto pointed to its depth. “We have a lot people contributing to these wins,” said Monfiletto, citing the efforts of Dylan Gargano, Jacob Sloss, Cole Palmeri, Shaan Patel, and Anthony Bencardino. “They work really hard, the competition has been good so far.” The Hun players have emphasized making incremental progress on a daily basis. “We ask them to think individually about what they need to work on and every couple of days we will ask them them to verbalize that in front of the whole team,” said Monfiletto, whose team hosts Princeton Day School on April 10, plays at Pennington on April 11, plays at Blair Academy on April 13, and then faces Immaculata

High on April 15 at Diamond Nation. “Indiv idually t hey have things they need to work on, whether it be more discipline at the plate, whether it be more aggressive at the plate, whether it be keeping everything in front of you in certain situations, or hitting cut-off men. Pitchers being aggressive early in the count. They

have a good job individually of working on those things.” Applegate, for his part, sees some very good things ahead for the Raiders. “I think we have in it us to go win a championship this year; we have a lot of confidence,” said Applegate. “We just keep moving forward and getting better; that is what it is all about.” — Bill Alden

With Freshman Applegate Making Sudden Impact, Powerful Hun Baseball Looking Like a Juggernaut

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2019 • 38

Sparked by Donohue’s Sense of Urgency, Hun Softball Displaying Punch in 4-2 Start Eve n t houg h t h e Hu n School softball team trailed visiting Lawrenceville 6-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning last Thursday, Meghan Donohue wasn’t about to give up. The Hun senior first baseman smashed a double off the left field fence, attempting to spark a rally for the Raiders. “We worked the pitcher to be up more than she was,” said Donohue. “A lot of that hit had to do with seeing the ball and taking one that was good. It felt good. This is my senior season. I am just out here having fun; that takes a lot of the pressure off for me.” Donohue, though, was left stranded and Hun ended up losing 7-0, snapping a threegame winning streak.

“Today was a really disappointing game,” said Donohue. “We really worked hard to try and get base runners but we just couldn’t finish.” While Donohue was frustrated by the final result, she likes the way the Raiders have played in the early going. “ We have had a ver y strong start; what we have seen is that we can hit the ball,” said Donohue, who went 3-for-5 with a homer, three runs and one RBI as Hun defeated Doane Academy 17-6 last Monday to improve to 4-2. “We can capitalize on those runners but today we didn’t show that. At practice the next couple of weeks, we are going to focus on contact. When we get baserunners, we have to be able to move them along.”

THANK YOU for voting us Best HVAC!

As a four-year starter and a team captain with classmate M.C. Shea and a pair of juniors, Gigi Venizelos and Abby Zucatti, Donohue is looking to set a positive example. “This team means everything for me,” said Donohue, who is headed to Babson College this fall where she will be playing for both its field hockey and softball programs. “I am disappointed about the score, but I left everything out here, and that is what we have to do as a team now.” Hun head coach Kathy Quirk liked the effort she got from Donohue at the bat and in the field. “Meghan swung the bat well and she had a nice defensive game,” said Quirk. “She probably caught more foul balls against the fence than we have ever caught before.” Quirk was pleased with the team’s defensive play overa ll. “Abby [ Zuc at t i ] saved us in the outfield today,” said Quirk. “We didn’t have errors, they just hit the ball where we weren’t.” L ook ing a head, Q u irk wants her players to hone in on their hitting. “We need to do what we practice everyday, we work on batting every single day,” said Quirk, whose team plays at Northern Burlington on April 10, at WW/P-South on April 11, at Blair Academy on April 13 and at the Peddie School on April 16. “We just lost confidence today. We went through the order once and we just didn’t seem to make any adjustments.” Donohue, for her part, believes the loss to Lawrenceville can serve as a wakeup call for Hun. “For the rest of the spring, we are looking to motivate ourselves with this game,” said Donohue. “It is going to push us forward when we play Blair. That is is the best competition we are going to see and we need to build off today.” —Bill Alden

Stuart Lacrosse Putting Pieces in Place As it Looks to Get on Winning Track There were some opening day jitters for the Stuart Country Day lacrosse team as it hosted Pennington to start the 2019 season last week. Having trouble get ting possession of the ball, Stuart fell behind 11-1 by halftime. “We scored first and then we were really challenged from that point,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik. B ut s how i ng pro g re s s within the game, the Tartans outscored Pennington 4-3 in the second half to make it a 14-5 final. In Bruvik’s view, the Tartans gained some important lessons from the loss. “We know that have got to win the draw and how to not have those little turnovers and get the 50/50 balls on the ground balls,” said Bruvik. “I think it is the little things about still taking care of the ball, decision-making. The transition was better; we just need to be more patient once we have the ball.” With a number of versatile players at her disposal, Bruvik is working on mixing and matching things. “We are still trying to figure out who is going to settle in on offense and in the midfield,” said Bruvik. “We got some kids who want to try different positions.” Freshman Jaelyn Bennett looked sharp at the attack position in the opener, tallying three goals in her debut. “Jaelyn can play pretty much anywhere on this field

and she is going to contribute no matter where she is,” said Bruvik, who also got goals from Catherine Martin and Kaitlyn Magnani against Pennington. “I love her on attack, that is her forte. She can find the back of that cage and she has got the speed to beat the defense.” Bruvik is confident that her group of seniors - Grace Sheppard, Bre Williams, Bey-Shana Clark, Lauren Magnani, Meghan Liebowitz, and Emma Shaw - will help the Tartans get up to speed. “We have six great seniors that get along on and off the field,” said Bruvik, who got three goals from Sheppard last Monday as Stuart lost 16-4 to Princeton Day School to move to 0-3. “They love being part of the team. They are all going to contribute and they are also great at encouraging the younger kids. They are such good people and such good role models.” Despite the outcome on opening day, Bruvik was encouraged by the intensity she saw from the Tartan players. “I am happy with the energy, regardless of the score, the kids still had coming off the field,” said Bruvik, whose team will look to get on the winning track as it hosts Hamilton on April 11 and Hightstown on April 15 before playing at Rutgers Prep on April 16. “A lot of that comes from the seniors.” —Bill Alden

The eggs hatch and the larvae feed in the cambial layer of the tree, quickly compromising the nutrient fluid transport systems to the point of strangulation. Death can occur as rapidly as within one year, but normally occurs over several years depending upon the level of infestation. Infested trees sometimes show a weakened limb or section usually starting in the crown where the borer has attacked the tree and damage has been done. A very distinct D - shaped exit hole can be observed where the new adult has emerged from the tree.

Obituaries with poetry by Paul Claudel

Vicktoria Heath Tallmadge Vicktoria Heath Tallmadge (nee Jones) was born on October 16, 1950, to Mary Jane and Vicktor Jones, in Princeton, New Jersey. When she was not on adventures with her friends on and around the Millstone River, she was in New York City or Philadelphia modeling for various child and teen fashion magazines and catalogues; the seeds of art, her lifelong love, were planted. Vicktoria graduated from Princeton High School in 1968, and enrolled in Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, PA, in order to sound her artistic depths. Upon receiving her BA in Textiles and Design, she returned to Princeton, working in an art gallery and frame shop. Clotho, the spinner, would soon weave a unique and fitting tapestry for Vicktoria, melding art, education, and love. Vicktoria fell in love with Henry “Tad” Hobart Tallmadge V and they married in 1981. Skye Weatherly Tallmadge, Henry’s beautiful 9-year-old daughter from a previous mar-

riage, was soon joined by her brother Brigham Heath Tallmadge in 1982. In 1985, Vicktoria began what would be a 30+ year career as a teacher in a wonderfully unique school at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton — Crossroads Nursery School. Here, with her teaching partners, whom she loved and cherished as family, she found distinct pleasure in stimulating the creative process in children. She was truly able to combine her loves; developing programs and activities integrating art, science, nature, and play. The loving and kind presence she offered to countless Princeton-area families, as their journey of structured education was developing its foundation, was for her, a rewarding and most distinguished vocation. Art covered the canvas of Vicktoria’s life, regardless of the medium with which she chose to practice. Whether a cook, a weaver, a painter, a mother, a partner, a friend, or a grandmother, all were more beautiful in her hands. Vicktoria was preceded in death by her adoring husband of 31 years, Henry, and is survived by her daughter Skye, her son-in-law Jacob Rashkind, her son Brigham, her daughter-inlaw, Alison (nee Goeke), her grandchildren Nathan and Lily Rashkind, and Mary Eleanor Tallmadge. Most people believed Vicktoria to be shy because of her indefatigable emotional reserve and convivial temperament. Those of us who knew her well, understood her comportment to be an aspect of her depth and strength. She did not hide her flaws, nor did she hide behind her many singularly exceptional traits; her stoic reserve nobly

continued as she battled an unexpected illness. The time and memories that were afforded by Vicktoria’s strength are a gift, and will not be forgotten by all who love her. A celebration of Vicktoria’s life will be held later this spring. Details will be made available to family and friends. Donations in Vicktoria’s name may be made to Crossroads Nursery School and/or your local arts program.

Dorothy M. Johnson Dorothy M. Johnson, 100, passed away on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Rose Hill Assisted Living of Robbinsville, NJ, her home since 2003. Dorothy was born on January 16, 1919 in Kingston, NJ. She married Henry B. Johnson on June 15, 1940 in Kingston, NJ. She was a homemaker and was dedicated to her family.

KEEPING YOUR HOME SAFE WHILE ON VACATION Give a trusted friend a key so the can bring in the mail, garbage cans, water the plants and walk through the house to make sure all in well. Do not post on Social Media that you will be out of town. There are professional’s out there that comb the internet to target folks who will be away from their property. If you are going to be away for an extended period of time you may want to give the police a heads up. Make sure you let the neighbors know too. The more eyes on deck the better. Lights on timers and curtains as they are. Remove any valuables like jewelry computer that can be seen through a window or sliding glass door. Unplug major appliances and turn off the water. No surprises when you arrive home! Enjoy your trip knowing you took precautions to protect your home and your family!
