Save Westminster Coalition Files Amendment to Suit Amid New Information Rider University’s announcement last week that a new dance studio will open on its campus in Lawrenceville does not sit well with those working to keep the University from closing Westminster Choir College (WCC) in Princeton, which Rider owns and wants to sell. Members of The Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton have used words like “infuriating” and “insulting” on social media, one likening the opening of a $700,000 studio at Rider while the future of Westminster remains uncertain to “a punch in the face.” Last week, the group added an amendment to a complaint against Rider that was filed last month in federal court. The lawsuit claims that based on the 1991 agreement that merged Rider and Westminster, Rider has no legal right to sell the music school. The amendment states that Rider’s claims of a Westminster deficit are false; rather that last year, Westminster ran at a surplus of $2,850,000. “As such facts demonstrate,” the amendment states, “Rider’s claimed $10 million annual deficit is not caused by Westminster that, in contrast to Rider University, operated in 2016 at a surplus.” “How can you say you are in such dire financial difficulties that your only hope is to relocate WCC and sell the campus for profit, and then suddenly find almost three quarters of a million dollars lying around to build a new dance studio?,” wrote Constance Fee, who heads the Coalition, in an email this week. “With this news, along with newly discovered financial information which has motivated an amendment to our original complaint which was filed on June 20, it continues to be difficult to know what to believe.” The new studio is to be used for Rider’s School of Fine and Performing Arts, a division of the Westminster College of the Arts. According to a press release, it was built to accommodate a growing dance and musical theater program. “We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the creation of the College of the Arts this year, so this studio could not come at a better time,” said Marshall Onofrio, dean of the arts school. “Over the past 10 years, Rider has been very responsive in creating new facilities for our students.” Kristine A. Brown, assistant vice president of Rider University Marketing Continued on Page 4

Iran Sentences PU Grad Student to Prison An Iranian court announced Sunday that it has sentenced Xiyue Wang, a Princeton University graduate student in the history department, to 10 years in prison for spying. A Chinese-born U.S. citizen, Mr. Wang, 37, was arrested last summer in Iran while conducting research on the administrative and cultural history of the late Qajar dynasty for his PhD dissertation. “Xiyue Wang is a fantastic scholar,” said Stephen Kotkin, Princeton history and international affairs professor and Mr. Wang’s advisor. “He chose as his PhD thesis topic an incredibly difficult, ambitious project, which required field work at multiple sites in a complex region.” Stating that Mr. Wang is innocent of all charges in his work, which is involved with 100-year-old documents, Mr. Kotkin continued, “He is a man of boundless intellectual curiosity, the kind of person who reads and reads and reads, then asks you for more suggestions. He is also uncom-
monly sincere, with impeccable manner, a person who is a joy to be around.” In a statement issued Sunday, Princeton University reported that since Mr. Wang’s arrest last summer it “has worked with Mr. Wang’s family, the U.S. government, private counsel, and others to facilitate his release.” The statement continued, “We were
very distressed by the charges brought against him in connection with his scholarly activities, and by his subsequent conviction and sentence. His family and the University are distressed at his continued imprisonment and are hopeful that he will be released after his case is heard by the appellate authorities in Tehran.

STRIKING A MAGICAL POSE: A fairy fashion show was just one of the fun activities at Saturday’s Fairy Festival at the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Reserve in Pennington. Children, who were encouraged to dress in fairy and gnome costumes, also created magical crafts, danced around a maypole, walked along the fairy trail, and played in the stream with water sprites. Participants share their favorite fairy stories and characters in this week’s Town Talk, and more photos are featured on page 16. (Photo by Charles R. Plohn)

and Communications, said, “Rider is committed to providing a dynamic academic and campus experience for our students and faculty. Since the College of the Arts opened 10 years ago, we’ve seen a growing interest from our student body in our nationally renowned dance and musical theater programs. To accommodate this interest, and help enhance our current programs, Rider University’s School of Fine and Performing Arts will be opening a new dance studio this fall.” Westminster Choir College has been a part of Rider since the merger in 1991. The Princeton campus is also home to the Westminster Conservatory, a community music school. Like Rider’s School of Fine and Performing Arts, the choir college and conservatory are considered divisions of the Westminster College of the Arts. Last March, Rider announced it was selling the Princeton campus, with the intent of finding another academic institution that would absorb Westminster while, ideally, keeping it in Princeton. But no academic institutions have stepped up to express interest in the property, according to the lawsuit filed by the Coalition — except for Princeton Public Schools, which made an official offer for the Walnut Avenue site last month. Other upgrades on the Rider campus include a new recruiting lounge and academic support center and a renovated Starbucks in the lobby of the Student Recreation Center. —Anne Levin

That was really fun. The country is so much more varied and beautiful www.princetonmagazinestore.com than I imagined. Everybody should set foot in all of the states to appreciate it.” If completing marathons in every state — even on snowshoes — sounds ambitious, consider some of Ms. Hrabchak’s other accomplishments: She ran a E N D S J U LY 3 1 S T 100-mile race in Vermont in under 24 hours. When she was 18, she came in sixth in her age group in the New York Marathon. She and her husband, children, and extended family have done numerous runs together. In fact, they make it a regular practice. She created family trips out of her recent participation in marathons in Hawaii and Alaska. “One of my nieces competed in Olympic trials, and her twin was a star runner, too,” Ms. Hrabchak said. “I noticed that the Guinness World Record for the largest family to do a marathon was eight.

all five boroughs. And it really got on my radar. I was 15 at the time — too young to be part of it. When I was 18, I finally ran my first one and got my older brothers to run it, too.” Ms. Hrabcha k event u ally added the Philadelphia marathon to her schedule, and took part in the Boston marathon a few times. Her husband, a fellow athlete and runner, has done the Boston event for the last 17 years. From running marathons came Ironman competitions. Ms. Hrabchak relished the challenges. “The longer I ran, the more I enjoyed it,” she said. “Most people kind of wear out. But I found that the endurance piece was the piece I enjoyed most. So I started gravitating to longer ones. They’re called ultramarathons. There are 50k, 50-mile, and 100-mile races. There are even 150-milers, that are done over a few days.” About that 100-miler in Vermont: “It star ts at 5 a.m.,” Ms. Hrabchak said. “You run through covered bridges, past mountains and rivers. It’s just beautiful.” Asked how it was possible to run 100 miles in less than 24 hours, she responded: “They actually make you stop every 15 miles. They even weigh you. If you lose more than five percent of your body weight, you’re automatically disqualified. There’s a 30-hour limit, but if you do it under 24 hours, you get an award — a kind of cowboy buckle. I got it, and I was very proud.”

The College Voice recently published an article that included steps consumers could take to identify fake news. Among them were: consider the source; check the author; read beyond the headline; and consult the experts. These steps, however, are not a panacea. The article asserts that figuring out what news to believe is getting harder for millennials, who rely heavily on Facebook. But it is not just millenials who find it difficult to separate fact from fiction. The library panel is designed to help those bothered by the “Fake News Invasion;” the impact of “fake news” on American society; and the future of news reporting in the United States.

Over the years, Ms. Hrabchak has learned how to train properly. She admits to aches and pains, but none are severe enough to stop her. “I have been quite fortunate with all my running and triathlons over the years,” she said. “I’ve only dealt with relatively minor injuries and occasional setbacks. I credit much of this to regular yoga practice.” It is the fatigue at the end of a long race that is standard, “when mind and body say, ‘okay, that’s enough.’ No matter how many marathons I’ve run,” she added, “it’s still a challenge to work through that phase.” Ms. Hrabchak has enjoyed meeting new friends and fellow runners over the years. “It’s actually a very easy way to make new friends. After awhile, you realize you are seeing the same people,” she said. “Now, just about any marathon I show up to, I can find someone I know. It’s almost like we’re on the circuit.” So what’s next? Ms. Hrabchak hopes to run the Mar ine Cor ps Marathon in Washington. She’d also like to add Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Samoa to her list of locations. But first, there’s the next family adventure. “We’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro over Christmas break,” she said. “Just the six of us. It’ll be great.” —Anne Levin

to recognize. Summertime is especially dreadful when 37 percent of Mercer County children who depend on subsidized school meals no longer have access to this life-sustaining program. “For most kids, summer is synonymous for sun and fun, but for many kids, summer can mean no breakfast and no lunch either,” she continued. “There are 12,880 school-age children in Mercer County who are food insecure and the summer months are devastating for growing minds and bodies. We need people to help us bridge the gap for these children by providing them extra food until they return to school. I recently sat down with some children in the dining room at the HomeFront Family Campus and we talked about food and what it feels like to be hungry. One 8-year-old boy summed it up best. ‘Being hungry feels like being really nervous and really scared, both at the same time,’ he told me.” There are several ways to help. HomeFront buys their food wholesale so cash donations that will qualify for the matching funds will go a long way. Donations can be mailed to HomeFront Summer Hunger at 1880 Princeton Avenue, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648 or through the Summer Hunger portal on www.homefrontnj.org. Those who want to donate food in bulk or hold a neighborhood, church, or club food drive can bring the food to their pantry at the above address or call (609) 989-9417 x133 to get a list of needed items or to make other arrangements.

For Princeton Councilman Tim Quinn, the 2017 Anchor House Ride for Runaways marked his 25th year of participation in the annual fundraiser. But last week’s 500-mile bike trek, in which 146 people cycled from Maryland to Trenton, turned out to be a bit more eventful than he had planned. L a s t We d n e s d a y, M r. Quinn was thrown from his bike near Lewisburg, Pa., after his wheel got stuck in the groove of a milled surface of the road. He suffered a broken collarbone, four broken ribs, and a concussion, spending Wednesday night in one hospital and Thursday in another, for observation. By Friday evening he was back on his feet, well enough to attend the annual banquet in Bethlehem, Pa. He spent Saturday, the final day of the ride, in one of the support vehicles. “It was a four- or five-inch drop from the regular road surface to the milled surface, and my wheel got caught. I went over and don’t really remember any thing, be cause I lost consciousness,” said Mr. Quinn, whose day job is marketing and communications director of the Princeton Public Library. After about two minutes, he regained consciousness and was put into an ambulance. T his was not the first mishap for Mr. Quinn, who broke his collarbone 15 years ago while on the ride. That accident required surgery, but this one does not. Dr. Harvey Smires of Prince-
ton Bone and Joint, a former Anchor House rider himself, performed the surgery and donated the money he received to Anchor House, Mr. Quinn noted. Based in Trenton, Anchor House was founded in 1978 as a safe place for runaway, homeless, and abused youth. The annual bike ride began a year later. This year’s ride raised $460,000. The ride concludes each year with a welcome home ceremony at Quaker Bridge Mall. Among five people marking their 25th anniversary of participation, Mr. Quinn said he was honored to be asked to lead the parade of riders. “It was great that the ride committee wanted me to walk in ahead of everyone,” he said. “I wondered whether they’d just stash me up on stage but they thought it was important that I walked in.” Mr. Quinn said he will be working half days this week and plans to be at the next Council meeting July 24. Next year marks the 40th year for the Anchor House ride, and he is planning to participate. “I hope to log more training miles than I did this year,” he said. “I will definitely be there.” —Anne Levin

HEALTH LITERACY GRANT: From left, Cynthia H. Oberkofler, Millhill executive director; Jeanine Lewars, Horizon BCBSNJ community engagement specialist; Filomena Machleder, Horizon Foundation program officer; and Tamara Noizy, Millhill director of family support services during a site visit to Millhill Child and Family Development Corporation. The Horizon Foundation recently awarded Millhill a $11,000 grant in support of its Health Literacy Program.
its Health Literacy Program. The grant will help provide health literacy education, access to developmental and behavioral health care screenings, as well as public health interventions. “Millhill is excited to continue our partnership with The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey to bring health and wellness education to our children and families. We especially look forward to collaborating again this year for our 4 t h A nnual Health Fair in September to provide health information to the Trenton community,” said Nicole Cowan, Millhill’s health literacy coordinator. The grant will help provide youth, families, and caregivers with health literacy training and tools necessary to lead healthy lives. Millhill’s Health Literacy Program aims to promote and build a culture of health among our families while working to eliminate barriers to education and care. Millhill works collaboratively to address health disparities with the Trenton Health Team, Trenton Area Stakeholders, and other organizations to empower and strengthen children and families in Trenton. Health literacy and barriers to care were identified as a priority health area for Trenton residents, according to the Trenton Health Team’s 2013 and 2016 Community Needs Assessment. In response to this need and with the support of its partners, Millhill recently expanded its Health Literacy initiative across core programs including early education, family support, and counseling services. Topics at Millhill include proper medicine use, communicating with your doctor, coping w it h st ress, mental illness, addiction, oral health, technology, and community resources and nutrition, among others. With support from The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey, Millhill’s 4th Annual Health Fair will take place on September 29 at 101 Oakland Street in Trenton. The Health Fair is free to residents of Mercer County. In addition, Horizon NJ Health will provide the entertainment, DJ, and health screenings. Millhill is collecting donations of hygienic items to be distributed during the Fair. New donations of everyday essentials can be dropped off at Millhill through September 26.

interim, the University will continue to do everything it can to be supportive of Mr. Wang and his family.” Although the University had known about the arrest during the past year, “the University and his family kept the matter confidential on the recommendation of multiple advisers inside and outside of government who counseled us that publicity might be harmful to our student’s interests,” according to a statement issued yesterday by Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber. Hua Qu, Mr. Wang’s wife, also issued a statement. “My husband, Xiyue Wang, is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and most loving men I have ever known,” she wrote. “he has been a devoted husband to me and a father to our 4-year-old son. Our son has missed his father for more than a year of his young life, as my husband has been unjustly imprisoned for espionage that I know he did not and never would commit. My husband has long been deeply interested in 19th and early 20th century Eurasian history, and he was in Iran last summer solely for purposes of learning Farsi and doing scholarly research for his PhD dissertation. We fervently hope that
the Iranian authorities will release him soon so that he can return home to his young family.” The Iranian media reported that Mr. Wang had been convicted for being “an infiltrating American agent.” In a weekly press briefing on state television in Tehran on Sunday, Iranian judiciary spokesman Ghollamhossein Mohseni Eje’i stated, “this person, who was gathering intelligence and was directly guided by the U.S., was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but the sentence can be appealed.” The Mizan Online news agency, affiliated with the Iranian judiciary, said that Mr. Wang had pursued espionage “through the cover of being a researcher” and had been gathering information for organizations such as the U.S. State Department, the harvard Kennedy School, and the British Institute of Persian Studies. The U.S. State Department has accused Iran of fabricating security-related charges to detain Americans and others. “We call for the immediate release of all U.S. citizens unjustly detained in Iran so they can return to their families,” a State Department official wrote in an email statement on Sunday. “All U.S. citizens, especially dual nationals, considering travel to Iran should
carefully read our latest travel warning.” The news of Mr. Wang’s arrest and sentencing came at a time of high tension in relations between Iran and the U.S. Sunday marked the second anniversary of the nuclear agreement between Iran and Western nations, at a point where President Trump, who has repeatedly criticized that deal, is considering whether Iran is honoring its side of the agreement. In his statement discussing efforts to secure Mr. Wang’s release “from the unjust detention that has threatened his health, pained his family, and distressed all who learned of his plight,” Mr. Eisgruber further stated, “Xiyue’s wellbeing remains of paramount concern. We will continue our support for him and his family as well as our efforts to secure his release. We hope the appellate authorities will look mercifully on him when they review his case this summer, and that they will allow this genuine scholar, devoted husband, and caring father to return home to our University and to the wife and young child who miss him dearly.” —Donald Gilpin

Poet Solmaz Sharif has been selected as the latest recipient of the Theodore h. holmes ’51 and Bernice holmes National Poetry Prize awarded by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing at Princeton University. The holmes National Poetry Prize was established in memory of Princeton 1951 alumnus Theodore h. holmes and is presented each year to a poet of special merit as nominated and selected by the
faculty of the Creative Writing Program, which includes writers Jeffrey Eugenides, Jhumpa Lahiri, yiyun Li, Paul Muldoon, Kirstin Valdez Quade, James Richardson, Tracy K. Smith, and Susan Wheeler. The award currently carries a prize of $5,000, and was first made to Mark Doty in 2011 and has since also been awarded to Evie Shockley, Natalie Diaz, Matt Rasmussen, and Eduardo Corral. Born in Istanbul to Iranian parents, Ms. Sharif holds degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied and taught with June Jordan’s Poetry for the People, and New york University. her work has appeared in The New Republic, Poetry, The Kenyon Review, jubilat, Gulf Coast, Boston Review, Witness, and others. The former managing director of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop, her work has been recognized with a “Discovery”/Boston Review Poetry Prize, scholarships from the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, a winter fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, and a Stegner Fellowship. She received a 2014 Rona Jaffe Foundation Writer’s Award, as well as a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship. She is currently a lecturer at Stanford University. her first poetry collection, Look, published by Graywolf Press in 2016, was a finalist for the National Book Award. “Solmaz Sharif’s poems marry an exquisite lyric sensibility to a profound social conscience, and in so doing they urge a renewed sensitivity to the private costs of public conflict,” notes Tracy K. Smith, director of the Program in Creative Writing. “They are also beautifully and inventively crafted, never letting readers forget that what is at stake begins in language.”

AARP Calls On Booker and Menendez to Maintain Strong Opposition to Senate’s Health Care Legislation
To the Editor: AARP New Jersey calls on U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Robert Menendez to maintain their strong and public opposition to the Senate’s health care legislation. It provides tens of billions in tax breaks for drug and insurance companies, while dramatically increasing costs and reducing coverage for Americans age 50-plus. Specifically, the legislation: • Would allow insurance companies to charge older people an age tax or five times — or even more — than everyone else. On top of that, it reduces tax credits. Together, these changes could cost you tens of thousands of dollars more a year. • Would strip away Medicaid coverage from more than half a million New Jerseyans and leave our seniors at risk of not getting the care they need. • Would let states waive protections for those with a preexisting condition like cancer, diabetes or asthma. • Would cut funding for Medicare — leaving the door open to benefit cuts and Medicare vouchers. AARP will hold all 100 United States Senators accountable to our members. In New Jersey, we urge Senators Menendez and Booker to continue to oppose the Senate bill and stand with Garden State residents. STEPhANIE hUNSINGER State Director AARP New Jersey
Thanking Mayor Lempert for Supporting Princeton Battlefield Monument Project
To the Editor: Ninety percent of all flowering plants in our gardens and farms are dependent on pollinators such as honeybees and butterflies. Unfortunately, recent years have seen a 60 percent global decline of our bumblebees and 80 percent of migratory monarch butterflies. Thousands of gardens have been planted around the country to support our bee and butterfly populations in observance of this dangerous phenomenon. Without bees and other pollinating insects, entire ecosystems are imperiled. The Princeton Battlefield Monument at Monument hall is part of the global pollinator project, a nationwide initiative to combat the enigmatic disappearance of critical insects from our fields and gardens. At the Monument, volunteers from Friends of Princeton Open Space, the Contemporary Garden Club of Princeton, Isles, Inc., Corner house, Princeton Public Works and Morven Museum and Gardens have planted and watered pollinator plants donated from the Contemporary Garden Club of Princeton, Princeton Day School, D & R Greenway, Littlebrook School, and Morven Museum and Gardens. We would like to thank Mayor Lempert for supporting the Monument project and we encourage you, like so many have done, to use your gardens to save the bees so that the bees can save us.

200 Years Later We’re Still Jane Austen’s Children If I am a wild Beast, I cannot help it. —Jane Austen, from a letter very time I read Pride and Prejudice,” Mark Twain once wrote to a friend, “I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.” The sheltered drawing-room stereotype of Jane Austen that Twain is ridiculing only redounds to the power of her art. If anything, his vehemence suggests a kind of backhanded recognition of the “wild beast” of a writer she spontaneously and perhaps inadvertently reveals in a May 24, 1813, letter to her elder sister Cassandra. Austen was in London when she wrote that letter. Pride and Prejudice had just been published, anonymously, and it was becoming known that she was the author. Told that a stranger wished to meet her, she gives vent to the un-Jane-like exclamation, adding “It is not my own fault,” as if she felt she had to make excuses for her notoriety. The wonder is that the “wild beast” survived Cassandra’s executorial mission to either censor or burn any correspondence she thought might reflect poorly on Jane or the family. “You Must Be Kidding!” Jane Austen died on July 18, 1817, 200 years ago yesterday. Which is why what began as a column about a television series rich in murder and mayhem has changed course dramatically. “Jane Austen and Fargo? You must be kidding!” says my wife. We’ll see. It’s worth noting that in Jane’s brief jeu d’esprit, “Plan of a novel according to Hints from Various Quarters,” written in 1816, she imagines a “faultless” heroine inhabiting a world in which “All the Good will be unexceptionable in every respect — and there will be no foibles or weaknesses but with the Wicked, who will be completely depraved and infamous, hardly a resemblance of humanity left in them.” Sounds not unlike what Carrie Coon’s brave, steadfast policewoman is up against in Season 3 of Fargo. After using the same quote from Twain eight years ago in a column on Jane’s birthday (“Celebrating Jane Austen, Lisbeth Salander, and Other Women Warriors”), I suggested that “the perceptual rigor” with which Austen “scrutinizes the society she’s holding in the palm of her hand carries an implicit force as strict in its way as your garden variety fictional blood and thunder, Gothic fireworks, shootings and knifings, heavy sex, or hand-to-hand combat.” This was around the time that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was on the best-seller list. Will and Jane Other letters from Jane Austen in the early spring of 1813 show an author pleased and preoccupied with the novel she calls “my own darling child.” Although she admits “some fits of disgust” about a flawed response to Pride and Prejudice, she remains “quite vain enough and well satisfied enough” about her accomplish-
“E
ment, finding Elizabeth Bennet “as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print” and wondering how she “would be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least.” The way I prefer to see Austen and her heroines is as sisters of Shakespearean women like Rosalind and Imogen. Jane herself could be a Portia of the pen the Bard might have conceived. I can imagine an afterlife romance, Will falling under her sway, unable to resist her charms. After noting the influence of Rosalind in the creation of Elizabeth Bennet and Emma Woodhouse, Harold Bloom writes, “Like Shakespeare, Austen invented us. Because we are Austen’s children, we behold and confront our own anguish and our own fantasies in her novels.” Pointing out how “the strong selves” of her heroines attest to her “reserves of power,” Bloom imagines that “had she not died so soon, she would have been capable of creating a Shakespearean diversity of persons, despite her narrowly limited social range of representation.” The Force of Her Will You don’t need to read far in Jane Austen’s letters to recognize her commitment, her fervor and h er clar it y, and t he selfawareness that allows her to see beyond her limits. In a somewhat disingenuous critique of Pride and Prejudice as “rather too light, and bright, and sparkling; it wants shade,” she admits in another letter to Cassandra that it needs to be “stretched out here and t h e r e w it h a long chapter of sense … if not, of solemn specious nonsense about something unconnected with the story.” She goes so far as to suggest the possibility of adding an essay on writing, a critique of Walter Scott, or Napoleonic history, “anything that would form a contrast.” In 1816 when a surrogate of the Prince of Wales suggested that “Miss Austen” write a historical romance, however, the writer who has generated a boom in romantic fiction beyond all comprehension replied, “I could not sit seriously down to write a serious romance under any other motive than to save my life & if it were indispensable for me to keep it up & never relax into laughing at myself or other people, I am sure I should be hung before

In her New Yorker review, Emily Nussbaum makes the obvious connection: “Like Jane Austen’s Emma,” Reese Witherspoon’s character “adopts a project … an outsider who gets dismissed” by the local gentry “as a dirty old Prius parked outside of Barneys.” It’s more than likely that Jane of the Ages would relate more to the warmth, sweetness and vulnerability of Woodley’s portrayal of her namesake than to the flashier performances of the two stars. “I Can Help” At the heart of the third season of Noah Hawley’s brilliant flight of murderous Minnesota fancy is a single mother and dedicated policewoman named Gloria Burgle, played by Carrie Coon, whose amiably Austenian performance as Nora Durst is what kept us watching The Leftovers. Like Frances McDormand’s resourceful sheriff in the Coen brothers’ Fargo and Alison Tolman’s steadfast deputy Molly in the first season of Hawley’s reimagining, Gloria has just the sort of unassuming determination Jane Austen could admire as she gamely navigates a gauntlet of unthinkable evil with her quiet mantra “I can help.” The Austen character Gloria most closely resembles may be Anne Elliot in Persuasion, if you substitute “Gloria” for “Anne” in Stuart Tave’s description: “Nobody hears Anne, nobody sees her, but it is she who is ever at the center. It is through her ears, eyes, and mind that we are made to care for what is happening. If nobody is aware of her, she is very much aware of everyone else and she perceives what is happening to them when they are ignorant of themselves.” Based on my hasty rereading of Persuasion, I think Tave’s picture actually fits Gloria Burgle better than Anne Elliot. In Harold Bloom’s essay, in which he quotes Tave’s as “the most accurate estimate” of Anne, he sees her as “a strong but subdued outrider,” a character “upon whom nothing is lost.” This, too, is true of Carrie Coon’s Gloria, who seems to be an “outrider” from another time: automatic doors don’t work for her, nor do automatic faucets, she has no Facebook page and thus no presence online when David Thewliss’s criminal genius Varga attempts to track her down. Varga is the Wolf in Hawley’s charming musical play on Tchaikovsky’s Peter and the Wolf, and of course Gloria is Peter, and at the end it’s the two of them, good and evil, sitting across the table from one another. aving just seen and admired all three seasons of Fargo in 2-3-1 order, I hope to do justice to the whole series, and the Coens’ original, in a subsequent column. What makes the group so special is the way the human center holds against the wild beast of human folly. —Stuart Mitchner

I finished the first chapter. No, I must keep to my own style and go my own way.” For all its genteel deference, the response rings with the force of authorial will: writing is a life-or-death issue, and should she fail to respect it, no punishment she can imagine, including hanging, would be too extreme; she has her own breed of demons. W.H. Auden makes reference to her wicked power in his poem, “Letter to Lord Byron”: “You could not shock her more than she shocks me;/Beside her Joyce seems innocent as grass.” Jane Meets Emmy In the conclusion of Kipling’s story, “The Janeites,” Shakespeare stands at the top of the stairs to paradise “To welcome Jane.” Here at the bottom of the stairs, if not in the basement of the underworld, it’s time to welcome her to the slings and arrows of series television, Emmy nominations, and binge-watching series like HBO’s The Feud and Big Little Lies and FX’s Fargo, all three of which are in the running for Outstanding Limited Series Emmys. It would be fun to think that the Emmy award is named for Jane Aus ten’s compu l sively manipulative Emma, but a little research shows that the statuette was in fact named for the camera tube called an “image orthicon,” fond ly k now n as an immy. In any case, the program I’d like to think Jane would vote for, in spite of all its horrors, is Fargo; with that in mind, I’ll make only passing mention of the Austenesque aspects of the other two nominees. For The Feud, think sense and sensibility gone wild, core issues of class conflict taken to the gaudiest, most grotesque extreme, two tarnished stars fallen from the heights of Hollywood royalty, well-born Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) and lowborn Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange), both performances predictably nominated for Outstanding Actress. A truer Jane Austen situation can be found in Big Little Lies, wherein two wealthy Silicon Valley wives and mothers played by Emmy nominees Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman inhabit the 21st-century Pacific Coast version of English country estates. Both women take a proprietary interest in a newcomer

Community Night Out continued from page one
She added, “Politicians, elected officials, fire and police officials all get a little tainted by what’s going on nationally. This gives us all a chance to put a human face on what we do.” Sponsored by the PPD, PBA Local #130, and the Princeton Recreation Department, and now in its 11th year, Princeton Community Night Out, which
started as part of a national Night Out program, has grown steadily. “We learned that our community received a greater benefit from a more expansive, community-oriented program,” said Police Sergeant Fred Williams. “By involving the Princeton Recreation Department, the Department of Human Services and other community groups, we get more buy-in to the theme of crime prevention and public
service,” he continued. “The goal, as with all of our community-related programs, is to get connected with the community. Community connections and relationships can assuage divergent opinions and ensure a productive dialogue between police and the community.” The PPD will host a K9 demonstration with Sgt. Matt Solovay and his partner Harris, a fully-trained ordnance, tracking, and patrol K9. The police
will also be cooking more than a thousand hot dogs as well as providing information on crime prevention, drug abuse, and other public safety issues — not to mention presiding at the dunk tank. “The police show great humor and camaraderie,” Ms. Butler said, “especially when they sit at the dunk tank. Everyone gets a big kick out of that. I admire their dedication.” The Fire Department will
AD
demonstrate fire prevention techniques and provide fire safety awareness information, and Princeton Corner House will offer information on counseling services ranging from addiction to recovery to bullying. Other community groups involved include Womanspace, the Princeton Public Library, Access Princeton, and Princeton Tennis Club. “This event and others have
helped our department to establish and maintain a solid reputation within our community,” said Mr. Williams. “We take great pride in the partnership with the PPD,” added Princeton Recreation Department’s Vikki Caines, “and we love the interaction the Recreation Department has with the public. We are looking forward to a wonderful evening.” —Donald Gilpin

Art After Hours Paint and Sip Benefit
“ROCKY COVE”: This painting is one of 12 by award-winning Princeton artist Charles McVicker that will be exhibited in the Art For Healing Gallery at University Medical Center of Princeton through October 30. There will be a wine and cheese reception on Friday, July 21, to celebrate the opening of the exhibit.
UMCP to Exhibit Works By Charles McVicker
The Art for Healing Gallery at University Medical Center of Princeton (UMCP) opened an exhibit on July 17 featuring 12 paintings by award-winning Princeton artist Charles McVicker. The works, which include oil paintings, acrylics, and watercolors, will be on display through October 30. UMCP will host a wine and cheese reception on Friday, July 21, to celebrate the opening of the exhibit. Mr. McVicker’s artworks have been accepted into more than 50 national and international juried competitions. He has won awards in 16 national competitions, 24 juried exhibits in New Jersey, and six Phillips’ Mill shows in New Hope, Pa. Mr. McVicker is a retired assistant professor of art from The College of New Jersey, where he taught for 18 years. His paintings are included in the collections of Princeton University, the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and the Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University. Paintings by Mr. McVicker are also part of UMCP’s permanent art collection, which includes more than 300 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other works that are displayed throughout the hospital as part of the Art for Healing program. Research shows that viewing art can help alleviate anxiety and stress, r e d u c e blo o d pr e s s u r e, shorten hospital stays, and even limit the need for pain medication. The Art for Healing Gallery, made possible by a generous donation from Princeton Anesthesia Services, features rotating exhibits of artists whose work is in the permanent collection. Works in the gallery are available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the hospital. The wine and cheese reception on Friday, July 21, to celebrate the opening of the exhibit featuring paintings by Charles McVicker is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Art for Healing Gallery, located in the concourse connecting UMCP to the Medical Arts Pavil-
ion and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center. To register or for more information, visit www.princetonhcs.org/calendar and search keyword McVicker. Attendees may park behind the hospital in lot V4, adjacent to the Medical Arts Pavilion (MAP), and use the North Entrance, which is to the left of the MAP Entrance. ———
“Transient Effects” on July 22 At PU Art Museum
On Aug. 21, 2017, the first solar eclipse of this century will be visible in the U.S. To celebrate this remarkable historical event, the Princeton University Art Museum has organized an exhibition of solar eclipses and other astronomical subjects by the influential American painter Howard Russell Butler (18561934). In 1918, Mr. Butler unveiled a new kind of portrait, of a very unusual sitter: the total solar eclipse. With unexpected accuracy, he captured those rare seconds when the moon disappears into darkness, crowned by the flames of the sun. “Transient Effects: The Solar Eclipses and Celestial Landscapes of Howard Russell Butler,” on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from July 22 through October 15, shares the history of Mr. Butler’s unique paintings and the story of the artist who created them. “Over centuries, bringing the tools of art to the aid of the sciences has allowed all of us to better understand the world we live in,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher– David J. Haemisegger, Class of ’76, Director of the Princeton University Art Museum. Mr. Butler graduated from Princeton University with a degree in science in 1876, but shortly thereafter he decided to pursue a career in art. His uncle, the artist William Stanley Haseltine, held the belief that “every artist is also a scientist,” and Mr. Butler gravitated toward capturing fixed images of ever-changing subject matter, including portraiture and marine and celestial views. As an heir to the Hudson River School and its emphasis on awe-inspiring vistas,
and as a student of Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), Mr. Butler fused 19th-century romantic traditions with scientific inquiry, specifically astronomy. When he undertook to paint a solar eclipse, Mr. Butler faced a seemingly impossible task: making an accurate and scientifically useful picture of a complex, transitory astronomical event that the unaided eye cannot fully perceive. Observation, intuition and artistic license played an important part in Mr. Butler’s tour-de-force paintings of solar eclipses, and the shorthand sketching technique he developed allowed him to produce highly detailed and precise paintings of the color and shape of the solar corona. In so doing, he joined the ranks of artists and other image-makers who have struggled to translate unseeable or fleeting natural phenomena into visual form for the purpose of scientific
The Center for Contemporar y Ar t (The Center) will host Art After Hours: A Paint and Sip Benefit for The Center on Saturday, July 22 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. This evening of socializing, making memories, and art will be led by artist Katie Truk whose studios are located in Hamilton Township (www.KatieTruk.com).

Princeton Summer Theater Spins a “Spider’s Web”; Agatha Christie Mystery Is Revived at Hamilton Murray Theater
P
rinceton Summer Theater is presenting Spider’s Web at Princeton University’s Hamilton Murray Theater. Audiences will find much to enjoy in this polished production of Agatha Christie’s comic mystery, which — like Murder on the Orient Express — artfully undercuts thrilling suspense with lively characterization and witty dialogue. According to Princeton Summer Theater’s website, Spider’s Web was chosen to be part of a season that aims to “reflect the challenges posed to us today by a society that is divided over whether it is better to look to the past for inspiration or to move in the direction of future progress. The characters in each play demonstrate vastly different ways of dealing with their individual histories, and are made stronger by facing this adversity.” In his program notes, director C. Luke Soucy — who is the artistic director for Princeton Summer Theater — observes that Ms. Christie’s “world is one in which disorder is always temporary, crime is always punished, and truth will always out.” One immediately notices the orderly, symmetrical set by Joseph Haggerty. At the center of the elaborately decorated drawing room is a desk whose contents are crucial to the plot, as well as a set of books that probably has fed the vivid imagination of Clarissa Hailsham-Brown, the central character and — with her husband Henry and stepdaughter Pippa — residents of Copplestone Court. Glasses of port also are visible. Briefly, the audience may wonder if they have been mixed with poison — but they have not. The Hailsham-Browns have guests: Sir Rowland Delahaye, Hugo Birch, and Jeremy Warrender. The three men are participating in a contest to identify which wines they are drinking. Copplestone Court also is inhabited by two servants, Elgin and Miss Peake. Jeremy surreptitiously searches the desk once he is alone in the room. Pippa returns, carrying a book she describes as a “recipe book,” although it oddly mentions candles. When Jeremy asks if she likes Copplestone Court, Pippa excitedly shows him a hidden door that leads to a small recess. Clarissa is visited by an unwanted guest: Oliver Costello, who tells her that Miranda, Henry’s ex-wife, wants Pippa to live with her and Costello. Oliver, like Jeremy, Topics is interested in the contents of the desk. Pippa enters and is horrified to see Costel-
lo, whom Clarissa and Miss Peake remove from the house. Later, after having left the room, Clarissa returns and discovers the body of Costello. Pippa enters through the hidden recess and hysterically blurts out that she is responsible. To protect Pippa, Clarissa and her guests hide Costello’s body, then set up a fake bridge game. Responding to an anonymous tip, Inspector Lord arrives to investigate the murder. When the police find documents proving Costello’s identity, Clarissa has to admit that he visited the house. Miss Peake is questioned and reveals the hidden recess, unaware of Clarissa’s plan. Clarissa is forced to open the recess, revealing Costello’s body. After Lord questions Clarissa and the other occupants of Copplestone Court, he opens the recess door and is shocked to discover that the body has gone. Pippa enters and reveals that her “recipe” book was a book about witchcraft; she confessed to killing Costello because she thought her “spells” had caused his death. Therein lies another likely reason that Spider’s Web was chosen: Princeton Summer
Theater’s next production, The Crucible, also deals with witchcraft. After Pippa’s revelation, three mysteries remain. Who killed Costello? Who moved the body? Finally, who called the police? In the 1950s Agatha Christie was in demand as a playwright, having had The Hollow, The Mousetrap, and Witness for the Prosecution open within three years of each other. Spider’s Web was written at the request of Margaret Lockwood, who originated the role of Clarissa in 1954. In a reversal of the usual order, Spider’s Web was adapted into a novel by Charles Osborne in 2000. Sir Rowland, Hugo, and Henry exhibit a gruff reserve typical of British gentlemen one expects in a drawing-room mystery. Similarly, Oliver is a stock villain. Nevertheless, Christie’s dialogue sparkles: “Supposing I were to come down one morning and find a dead body in the library; what should I do?” Clarissa blithely muses, before facing that exact problem. In Clarissa, Ms. Christie has created a buoyant character whose exploits keep
“SPIDER’S WEB”: Performances are underway for Princeton Summer Theater’s production of “Spider’s Web.” Directed by C. Luke Soucy, the play runs through July 23 at Princeton University’s Hamilton Murray Theater. From left: Jeremy (Peter Giovine), Hugo (Pablo Milla), Sir Rowland (Christopher Damen, seated), Clarissa (Abby Melick), and Miss Peake (Alex Yogelsang) examine a mysterious piece of paper. (Photo by Michelle Navis) “Spider’s Web” will play at the Hamilton Murray Theater in Murray Dodge Hall, Princeton University, through July 23. For tickets, show times, and information call (732) 997-0205 or visit www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2933095.
the audience enthralled. Abby Melick offers the tour de force performance required by the role of Clarissa. She portrays the vivacious character’s love of imagination, and her panicked but quick-witted response when that imagination trips her up, with equal flair. Christopher Damen gives a solid performance as the gruff but sincere Sir Rowland. Meagan Raker, last seen as Cinderella in Into the Woods, is entertaining as Pippa. In this production, two actors are given dual roles. The first is Pablo Milla; he brings an oily menace to Oliver, and a dry pomposity to Hugo. The other dual role is filled by Ross Barron, who infuses Henry with a smooth sincerity. Unlike Murder on the Orient Express, Spider’s Web does not make its detective into a central character. However, Mr. Barron ensures that Inspector Lord is distinctive, giving him the probing sternness that keeps the inhabitants of Copplestone Court on edge. Alex Vogelsang as Miss Peake; Peter Giovine as Jeremy; and Lydia Watt as Elgin round out the cast. Clearly, these emerging actors (most are recent Princeton University graduates, or will graduate next year) are enjoying their roles. They have good chemistry, and their performances make the characters distinctive and engaging. However, consistent attention needs to be paid to diction and projection; some of the dialogue was difficult to hear. Like the set, Julia Peiperl’s costumes elegantly evoke the period. Most of them share a color palette with the luxurious but dark set. Clarissa’s dress, however, is an airy light blue. For the villainous Oliver, Ms. Peiperl underlines the melodramatic aspect of his character, giving him a bright red smoking jacket. Mr. Soucy’s direction makes effective use of the space afforded by Mr. Haggerty’s set. The interrogation sequences are staged with precision, as the blocking offers clues as to the murderer’s identity. he members of this cast and creative team are at the start of their promising careers, and they are to be commended for reviving a lesser-known play that fits the theater’s stated mission. Clarissa’s history of spinning tales causes her to face adversity, but she does indeed grow as a character — captivating the audience along the way. —Donald H. Sanborn III

In August, students and faculty from Princeton Day School will return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to perform Qui Nguyen’s She Kills Monsters, a contemporary play set in the preinternet ’90s and filled with physicality and dramatic combat scenes. The PDS production will be the first licensed production of She Kills Monsters, professional or amateur, to be performed in the United Kingdom. Director Stan Cahill shared the rehearsal process by noting, “To bring the production to life, our performers spent many rehearsal hours working with stage combat choreographers and moveReggae dancing: Mystic Bowie performed this past Saturday night at Pettoranello gardens.

She Kills Monsters explores themes of accep tance, sexuality, and female strength, all set against a ’90s-era soundtrack. The students have been working on the production for months, and it was performed at the Spring Performing Arts Festival on campus in May. She Kills Monsters will be performed in The Space @

MUSIC REVIEW
New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Presents Culmination of Cone Composition Institute
I
n its ongoing commitment to contemporary music, every summer for the past four years New Jersey Symphony Orchestra has created a “laboratory experience” for four emerging composers to develop their craft and produce a unique work of music, subsequently presented to the public in Richardson Auditorium. Guided by Institute Director and Princeton University Professor of Music Steven Mackey, the four composers who participated in this year’s NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute created pieces reflecting diverse backgrounds and talents. Led by conductor JoAnn Falletta, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra presented a more casual concert atmosphere last Saturday night than during the regular season, but were no less serious about the music, executing well the sophisticated scores of these promising composers. For her one-movement Tereza Slumbers, Princeton University PhD candidate Alyssa Weinberg was inspired by Milan Kundera’s novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being, musically juxtaposing existential struggle of character with levity and freedom. In Ms. Weinberg’s piece, the gravity of human burden was conveyed by lower strings and brass, with lightness interpreted by impressionistic flute. Such unusual percussive effects as bowing a xylophone were combined with a solid harp played by Lynette Wardle, supported by a pulsating flute played by Kathleen Nester. Ms. Falletta moved the piece along well, with repeated rhythmic patterns in the trombones and two very high piccolos creating musical effects well appreciated by the audience. Composer Sam Lipman also created dichotomy in his work Song of the Bhagavan, between 20th-century jazz and the 19th-century orchestral music of Mahler and Wagner which Mr. Lipman heard as a youth in Australia. Currently a composition student at the University of Texas at Austin, Mr. Lipman divides his musical life between composing and playing jazz saxophone, often combining these two careers in his works. Song of the Bhagavan paid tribute to the Hindu literary classic Bhagavad Gita, depicting the characters of Krishna and Arjuna in the musical language of both jazz and the 19th-century orchestral tradition. Song of the Bhagavan began with the music of the GodKing Krishna in the brass, punctuated by the bass drum. The music of the mortal warrior Arjuna was well conveyed by the section of eight violas. The opening of this work was very ethereal and melodic, and one could tell that Mr. Lipman has extensive experience scoring for film. The lighter passages were lush, with a similar character to the more elegant music of Mahler, with a 3/4 meter adding an element of grace. The sectional viola sound fit right into the texture and dynamic builds were particularly impressive. Saad Haddad, whose works have been performed by orchestras nationwide (including Princeton Symphony), composed Takht (whose title means “ensemble” in Arabic) as a tribute to traditional Arabic
music of the first half of the 20th century. Arabic music is very vocally based, and Takht utilized this characteristic well. From deep within the orchestra, harpist Lynette Wardle began the work with actual singing (screened by the frame of her harp), matched by the flutes, who also vocalized into their instruments. Ms. Wardle controlled much of the changing chromaticism of the piece by sliding a piece of metal up and down the strings of the harp. Other instruments, especially oboist Melanie Feld, added typically Arabic wailing effects. The percussionists played with their hands, rather than sticks or mallets, creating a more natural effect. Throughout the piece, the audience was no doubt always looking to see where the sound was coming from, as Mr. Haddad’s work developed quite a majestic character. The fourth participant in the Cone Institute is also a PhD candidate at Princeton, and like Mr. Lipman, also a jazz saxophone player. Noah Kaplan’s Forest Through Forest was not so much based on a dichotomy, but rather the idea of things coming together and breaking apart. Mr. Kaplan’s compositional style is rooted in the concept of microtonality, exploring the melodic and harmonic possibilities of notes and tones between conventional pitches, creating a new world of sound. Forest Through Forest employed more conventional instrumentation than previous pieces heard on Saturday night’s program, and contained a great deal of brass fanfare and unusual wind effects with percussion. Sliding trombones and a mournful trumpet solo contrasted with driving rhythmic motives, bringing the work to a close with an orchestral bang. nstitute Director Steven Mackey has always included himself on the program with these young composers, and his Four Iconoclastic Episodes showed how broad and all-encompassing his approach to music is. Dr. Mackey may have been one of those students who drove traditional music teachers crazy — absorbing all the conventional tools of classical music but really wanting to transfer them to his electric guitar and other rock instruments of the 20th century. Fortunately, there is plenty of room at Princeton to think outside the box, and joined by NJSO concertmaster Eric Wyrick on violin and the string sections of the NJSO, Four Iconoclastic Episodes rocked the house at Richardson. Each Episode conveyed a different mood, with both Dr. Mackey and Mr. Wyrick interspersing solo riffs into the orchestral palette. Dr. Mackey brought a number of musical traditions to this piece, from African popular music to Radiohead, to a bit of Van Halen jamming. The four composers who were lucky enough to participate in the Cone Institute this year no doubt learned from Dr. Mackey that music is a continuously evolving medium, and in this 21st century, pretty much anything goes. —Nancy Plum

CINEMA REVIEW
War for the Planet of the Apes
Trilogy’s Finale Pits Primates Against Humans in Showdown
W
ar for the Planet of the Apes is the ninth movie in the film series that began almost 50 years ago with Planet of the Apes. The original groundbreaking science-fiction adventure was based on the novel of the same name by Pierre Boulle, who also wrote The Bridge Over the River Kwai. That book was adapted to the movie by two scriptwriters: Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone) and Oscar-winner Michael Wilson (The Bridge Over the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, It’s a Wonderful Life, and A Place in the Sun). So, it’s no surprise that that movie’s thought-provoking social commentary resonated with critics and audiences. In that movie, the apes’ masks were so skillfully made that the Motion Picture Academy awarded the movie’s makeup artist, John Chambers, an honorary Oscar. However, it wasn’t until the ’80s that Best Makeup became an official Academy Award category. War for the Planet of the Apes is the finale in a trilogy that recreated the series in 2011, starting with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and followed a few years later by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Fortunately
you don’t need to recall, or even have seen, the earlier pictures to fully appreciate this movie. Additionally, the use of the latest computer graphic image technology has been so skillfully applied that you never once doubt that you’re watching real apes interacting with humans. The best news is that the movie is a morality play of Shakespearean proportions that explores many universal themes on the way to the showdown that settles the fate of both species once and for all. The apes are again led by Caesar (Andy Serkis), who matches wits with a ruthless army colonel (Woody Harrelson). Between the sophisticated storytelling and the stateof-the-art special effects, War for the Planet of the Apes is a touching finale for the series. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for action, violence, mature themes, and disturbing images. Running time: 140 minutes. Production Studio: Chernin Entertainment. Distributor: 20th Century Fox. —Kam Williams

A PEEK INTO HOW THE COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGE TECHNOLOGY PERFORMS ITS MAGIC: On the left, you see Andy Serkis, who portrays Caesar, the leader of the apes, wearing a special body suit that is covered with sensors that are picked up by the camera’s computer which then converts the image on the left into the ape Caesar, in the right half of the photo.

Gaining Wealth of Experience in Assistant’s Role, Morey Primed to Guide Tiger Women’s Hockey
C
ara Morey had never coached at the college level before joining the staff of the Princeton University women’s hockey team in 2011. Over the last six years, Morey gained a wealth of experience, being involved in every phase of the operation under the tutelage of head coach Jeff Kampersal. “I have been really lucky because Jeff kept giving me a lot more and more responsibility over the last few years so that I could be prepared if and when a head coaching opportunity ever came up,” said Morey, who was eventually promoted to associate head coach. “I got to be really involved in practice planning, running drills on the ice, and going through video sessions so I was pretty fortunate that way. I was also the recruiting coordinator.” When Kampersal recently left Princeton after 21 years to guide the Penn State women’s hockey team, Morey jumped at the opportunity to succeed Kampersal as the head coach of the Tigers. “I had been considering options for for the last few years, jobs would come up but I really wanted it to be the right fit before I left,” said Morey, 38, a 2001 graduate of Brown where she starred in field hockey and ice hockey.
“I knew I had wanted to be a head coach but it had to be the right fit so when he left, of course, my first thought was to become the head coach at Princeton, just because it was such a natural transition.” It didn’t take long for Princeton to conclude that Morey was the first choice to succeed Kampersal. “Basically they gave me a chance to interview for it without a lot of the outside distractions,” said Morey. “I guess they determined I would be a good fit so it happened pretty quickly, which was awesome for me.” It was an awesome feeling for Morey to get the nod. “It is incredible, I am so excited,” said Morey. “I feel super grateful because these jobs don’t come up very often. There are only 36 of them in the country so it is a dream come true.” In a statement issued upon Morey’s hiring, Princeton’s Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux Samaan, a legendary women’s hockey player during her college career at Princeton, shared that excitement. “Cara is a superstar in every sense of the word and we are thrilled that she will be our next head coach,” said Marcoux Samaan. “She has played an enormous role in the many successes of the team over
the past six years and I am confident that she will build upon these successes to provide the very best experience for our student-athletes. Not only is Cara one of the best technical coaches I’ve seen, she is a true believer in our motto of Education through Athletics and is 100 percent committed to developing her players on and off the ice.” True to form, the energetic Morey has hit the ground running in her new role. “It just keeps rolling; I need to find a good assistant to join Ashley [Kilstein] and I on our staff, that has been a priority, finding somebody who has the right priorities,” said Morey, who added former University of Vermont assistant coach Kelly Nash to her staff this week. “Then it is recruiting as usual; it is that time where we are trying to find the next Tigers that come in.” The current Tiger players along with others in the Princeton community have given Morey a vote of confidence as she takes the helm. “As soon as it was announced that Jeff had taken the job, I reached out to all of our current players and all of our recruits,” said Morey. “Once I was announced as head coach, I started reaching out again, letting them know that.

I got was so overwhelmingly positive. I was really humbled at how many current players, former players, alumni, professors, and everybody just reaching out in support of me.” Morey isn’t planning to make drastic changes as she succeeds Kampersal. “I think there is going to be a level of comfort for them, where it is not going to be too drastically different,” said Morey, who helped lead Princeton to the 2016 Ivy League championship and to the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals five times and most recently the ECACH semifinals this past season, when Princeton went 20-10-3. “Our preparation and method will probably stay similar but we are going to tweak some stuff a little bit more to fit my personality.” In Morey’s view, the winning personality exuded by her returning players is a major asset. “We have established such a great culture of excellence right now at Princeton,” said Morey. “I am lucky as a new head coach that I get to step into a culture that is so well established and so familiar to me and the players are familiar with my style. We lost a monstrous senior class but we have some awesome freshmen coming in who are going to add the depth that we need and we are looking for.” With a core of returning stars featuring skilled forwards Karlie Lund and Carly

Bullock, along with star goalie Steph Neatby and standout defenseman Stephanie Sucharda, the Tigers appear poised to maintain that level of excellence under their new head coach. “I am excited about the future,” said Morey. “I am
pretty process-oriented so I try not to focus on the outcome. The expectations are that we are giving everything we have every single time we touch the ice. I think good things will happen.” —Bill Alden

Even though her Lafayette College women’s lacrosse team posted a 6-11 record in 2016, Dana Smith believed the squad was on the verge of turning the corner. “There was kind of a feeling that we didn’t reach our
potential,” said 5’1 defender Smith, a former Princeton High girls’ soccer and field hockey standout “We knew that going into this next year, we had a lot to offer and we didn’t want to see it go in the same way
at the end of the season. We wanted to feel like we had done our job at the end.” This spring, Smith and the Leopards realized that potential, going 10-8 overall and 5-4 Patriot League, making the league postsea-

“I was doing what I hoped to be doing when I was an upperclassman. We are used to getting attacking player awards but we hadn’t had a defensive player of the week in a couple of seasons so that was good for the team.” The Leopards got off to a very good start in Patriot League, going 4-0 with wins over Army (15-11), Colgate (14-13), Bucknell (14-13), and American (20-9). “That was big for us, going into the season we were looking at, these are the wins we could get and Colgate was one,” said Smith. “It would be really nice to beat Colgate but we are not going to count on it. We won by one and scored with 14 seconds left to go ahead. It was just really exciting and that set a really good pace for the rest of the season.” For Smith, big efforts in the victories over Bucknell and American helped her earn a second Defensive Player of the Week honor as she led the defense by totaling nine ground balls and four caused turnovers in the two triumphs. The Leopards ended up finishing fifth in the Patriot League to earn a spot in the conference quarterfinals, the program’s first postseason appearance since 2013. While Lafayette ended up falling 14-7 at Boston University in the playoff contest, it was a memorable experience for Smith and her teammates. “No one on the team this year had been there before so that was definitely cool for everyone in the program, it BOULEVARDwas all our first times in the tournament,” said Smith. “It was just an entirely different atmosphere. You had to have a badge to walk on the field; they announce everyone on the team. Going to Boston, it is a six hour drive. You have to go to class and get on a bus. It is not easy to do but that is exactly what we have been practicing to do since we had started in September. It was really great to get there.”
son tournament for the first time since 2013 and posting its best overall record since 2002 when it went 13-7. “I think we have always felt that we had so much potential and we really could compete in the league,” said Smith, reflecting on her junior campaign. “We never quite got there and a lot of other teams took us for granted and looked down on us. This year, we proved that we belong and that we can compete.” Getting off to a 2-0 start with an 18-3 win over Longwood and 17-14 v ictor y over Binghamton portended things to come for the Leopards. “My sophomore season was the first time we had ever won our first game,” said Smith. “Then this season, we had the most successful start either in Lafayette’s history or in a very long time for the program. Smith, for her part, was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week for her performance against Longwood which saw her cause three turnovers and pick up four ground balls. “It was so surprising and it was really reassuring that all my hard work had paid off,” said Smith, reflecting on the honor.
Bidders are required to comply with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 10:5-31 et seq. and N.J.A.C. 17:27. The Board of Trustees and the Princeton Charter School reserves the right to reject any and all bids for the whole or any part and waive any informalities they deem in the interest of the school.

Benefitting from the team’s overall improvement, Smith showed great progress this spring, picking up 42 ground balls and 18 caused turnovers after producing a total of 32 ground balls and 22 caused turnovers combined in her first two seasons. “It was definitely how the team played; we played better team defense than ever before,” said Smith. “The whole game we were doing better so that led to more opportunities for me to finish the play which is what I always try to do. When one of my teammates causes a broken play or the goalie makes a save and there is a rebound, I made sure that their play counted.” Over the summer, Smith will be concentrating on cardio training to help her be an even better playmaker. “I mostly work on my speed and endurance fitness,” said Smith, who is playing pickup games with former PHS teammates to help hone her skills. “As a defender, I spend a lot of time on the field and then have to have one moment where I need to sprint to get out of the zone so I work on my speed. The big difference between my sophomore year and my junior year was definitely my fitness.” Smith and her classmates are looking to make a difference heading into their senior campaign. “Now that we have had that success and that feeling of having a good record, we don’t want to let that go,” said Smith, an international affairs and mathematics-economics major and Academic All-Patriot League selection who will be applying to PhD programs in economics. “We are really committed to keeping that up and my senior class, there are five of us, we are really unified. We have visions for what our senior season is going to be and how we are going to be really competitive and serious about what we are doing.” —Bill Alden

TURNING THE CORNER: Dana Smith races upfield this spring in her junior season with the Lafayette College women’s lacrosse team. Smith, a former Princeton High girls’ soccer and lacrosse standout, helped Lafayette go 10-8 in 2017 and make the Patriot League postseason tournament for the first time since 2013. It was the program’s best record since 2002, when it went 13-7. Defender Smith was twice named Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week this season.

W hen T homas Wal ker took up rowing in 2012 at the Princeton National Rowing Association’s Mercer Rowing Club ( PNRA / Mercer), he was quickly inspired to someday make an impact in the sport on a national level. “We shared that boathouse with the women’s national team and it was pretty awesome to look at the best people in the world,” said Walker, who was a junior at Princeton High when he joined PNR A / Mercer. “I always had that goal to be able to race for the U.S.A. in some capacity.” Walker, who went on from PNR A /Mercer to row for the University of Wisconsin men’s crew program, ach ieve d t hat goa l las t month as he and Luke Sendelbach of Cornell placed f irst in t he L ight weight Men’s Pair in the U.S. trial on Mercer Lake to earn a spot in the upcoming 2017 World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. As he looks ahead to the competition in Bulgaria, which is slated for July 1923, Walker acknowledges that it is a dream come true. “It is really, really awesome that it has finally come to fruition,” said Walker, who will be joined at the competition by fellow PHS alum, PNRA/ Mercer and Wisconsin teammate Kyle James, a member of the U.S. Lightweight Men’s 4. “It was really special to win trials on the same lake that I first started rowing and being from the area, my parents were able to watch.” In reflecting on his meteoric rise in the rowing world, Walker said there was nothing complicated about his ascension. “It has been quite a journey,” said Walker. “It is a spor t that rewards hard work, the two go hand in hand.” It didn’t take long for Walker to see the rewards of rowing. “I was playing basketball and golf before but I never really had a fall sport so I just tried it out for the fall,” said Walker, recalling his debut with PNRA/ Mercer. “It was mostly as a way to stay in shape for basketball in the winter but then I took
a liking to it and stuck with it from there.” By the end of his first y e a r a t P N R A / M e r c e r, Walker was contacting college coaches, looking to compete at the next level. He chose Wisconsin over Cornell and Dartmouth but acknowledges that it wasn’t easy sticking things out in the early stages of his college career. “It was a tough transition being surrounded by such big kids, we had at least five or six guys over 6’6, the tallest guy topped out at 6’11,” said Walker, noting that he is 6’1, 160 pounds. “Height is not everything in the sport but it is definitely a pretty big thing.” After rowing in the fourth varsity 8 and the lightweight varsity 4 over his first two years w ith the Badgers, Walker was determined to make a breakthrough coming into his junior season this spring. “At the end of the sophomore year, it is like a turning point in college careers, for better or worse,” said Walker. “I was really focused last summer on making sure that was a turning point for the better. This past year I was in the second 4 on the fall, the 9 through 12 guys. There were big, big improvements for me this winter. I finally cracked through our coaches. They set certain benchmarks and once you prove you have a certain level of strength, it opens a lot more doors. You get a lot more opportunities to prove yourself on the water.” This spring, Walker seized the opportunity, starting in the second varsity 8 before moving up to the varsity 8 for the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship re gatta. For Walker, competing at the IRA regatta was an eyeopening experience. “It was a little intimidating for that first race,” said Walker, who helped the top boat take 11th, the program’s best finish since 2013. “The first time you line up out there, the coaches tell you it is just a bunch of other guys out there, don’t let them intimidate you. There are guys out there who you are lined up next

to who were competing at the 2016 games.” Days after the end of the IRAs, Walker headed home to take part in a training camp on Mercer Lake organized by Hobart assistant coach Skip Kielt to form crews to race in the U.S. U23 trials in late June. “It was part selection, part training; he wanted to select a four and a pair to race at trials,” said Walker. “He created a really good team atmosphere where everyone is working to that goal, not so much doing whatever they could to help themselves. I refocused after the national championships. I was thinking that my one goal for the summer was to make it to the world championships.” Walker and Sendelbach, a r ising Cor nell ju n ior, emerged as the top pair in the group. “We had four great guys who worked really well together and then me and my pair partner, Luke, became our best matchup,” said Walker. “We had been working really well together and our coach had a lot of confidence that we could keep going there. We made some pretty big strides in the next two weeks after that. We got some racing experience at a regatta in Philadelphia and worked the kinks out. Everything just kind of came together for us at trials, we put down three really good races.” Noting that the goal is to reach the ‘A’ final, or top six, at the U23 worlds, Walker believes that the pair has the capacity to race even better on the world stage. “We feel like we are in a pretty good position,” said Walker. “We have put in the work and made a lot of progress. I think we saw a lot more progress over the last week and a half. We feel confident; it is not going to take some heroic effort. It is go out there and really stick to it. We know what we have and what is takes to do it. We have just got to go out there and do it now.” After putting in his best effort in Bulgaria, Walker will turn his focus to helping Wisconsin position itself for more success in his senior campaign. “Seven of the eight guys in our varsity 8 are coming back, we are really looking forward to that,” said Walker. “Of those seven guys, five of us qualified for the U.S. with different spots in the U23. The rest of our team is in Madison right now training hard. I am really excited to to get back to that.” —Bill Alden
Undefeated Majeski Makes Summer Hoops Semis As Glover Provides Hard-Nosed Play, Scoring Punch A lthough the Majestic Foundation posted an 8-0 record in regular season play in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League and is the defending champion, the squad wasn’t overconfident as it opened its title defense last Monday. Fa c i n g e i g h t h - s e e d e d K i n g’s P i z z a r a m a i n a quarterfinal clash that was a rematch of last year’s championship series, Jordan Glover and his Majeski teammates, The College of New Jersey men’s hoops entry in the league, had their game faces on. “It is the same thing as last year, coming out with a chip on our shoulder,” said Glover. “We come out and try to be humble and keep playing basketball. We all love basketball and we love winning as well.” Glover and Elias Bermudez displayed some power basketball against King’s, for m i n g a p ote n t o n e two punch in the paint as Majeski built a 31-18 lead at halftime on the way to a 59-38 win. “Since my freshman year coming in here, Elias has been that impact player in the post, getting rebounds,” said the 6’5, 235-pound Glover, who hails from Lawrenceville. “He star ted off in the beginning tonight, he got rebounds, going up strong. We are playing man ball now. He is coming into his senior year, I am coming into my junior year. We are coming out here, trying to work on different things.” In the win over King’s, Majeski showed that it has a lot of different weapons as Liam Byrne, Terence Bailey, and Eric Murdock, Jr., each starred in the backcourt. “We have phenomenal shooters all around,” said Glover. “Liam Byrne has definitely stepped up. People overlook him a little bit; he is one of our best shooters at TCNJ.” That versatility is a key for the TCNJ program when it hits the court in the winter.
“That is our culture, we have 6’5 forwards, we have 6’3 guards,” said Glover. “Our coach wants to recruit small forwards and a lot of tall guards so we have to absolutely play inside-out with mismatches all over the floor.” In the second half on Monday, Majeski’s well-rounded play broke the game open as it went on a 23-5 run after King’s narrowed the gap to 31-23. “The difference is having a winning mentality,” said Glover, who tallied 12 points on the evening with By r ne s cor ing a game -
high 17 to lead the way for Majeski. “We want to push ; we want to let everyone know it is playoff time. We didn’t lose a game this regular season but we want to take this all the way to the championship.” Glover, for his part, acknowledges that it will be tough for Majeski to run the table. “It is hard to repeat, this league is tough,” said Glover. “It is a man’s league, you have got to play hard or go home.” Based on Majeski’s performance on Monday night, it doesn’t look like it will be going home any time soon. —Bill Alden
COMING THROUGH: Jordan Glover bulls through two defenders in playoff action last year in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. On Monday, Glover scored 12 points to help top-seeded and defending champion Majestic Foundation top eighth-seeded King’s Pizzarama 59-38 in a quarterfinal clash. In other quarterfinal action on Monday, seventh-seeded Packer Hall All-Stars upset second-seeded LoyalTees 58-51. The two other quarterfinal games take place on Wednesday at the Community Park courts with third-seeded Princeton Special Sports facing sixth-seeded NJAC and fourthseeded PEAC Performance playing fifth-seeded PA Blue Devils. The semifinals are slated for Friday with the best-of-three championship series starting on July 24. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

After Big Senior Season for PDS Baseball, Dudeck Set Positive Tone for Post 218 For Zach Dudeck, changing his priorities helped him enjoy a breakout year this spring in his senior campaign for the Princeton Day School baseball team. The center fielder starred as PDS posted a 10-10 record, hitting .322 with 16 runs and 17 RBIs. “I started focusing mainly on baseball; before I was tr ying to do soccer and baseball,” said Dudeck, reflecting on his final high school campaign. “Once I kind of fell off for soccer, I started focusing on that less and more on base-
ball. With that one track mind, it helped me a lot.” T h is s u m m er, D u de ck joined the Princeton Post 218 American Legion team, looking to build on his senior season and help prepare him for a shot at playing for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute baseball program. “It was a good bridge, I wanted at-bats and a little more fielding experience,” said Dudeck. “That is something I can’t get if I don’t play any games.” While the Princeton squad struggled this summer, Dudeck tried to be a positive force.
“I tried to keep fighting and tried to keep the spirit up with everyone,” said Dudeck, who contributed a double and a walk in a losing cause as Post 218 fell 19-2 to South Brunswick last Wednesday to end the summer with a 2-20 record. “I try to talk as much as I can, trying to keep everyone into the game as much as we can. It is all you can really do.” Starting this fall, Dudeck will be trying to make the RPI baseball team. “I was mainly focusing on architecture,” said Dudeck
in reflecting on his college selection process. “Baseball is a side thing that I knew I wanted to do. I am trying to be a walk-on. I have talked to the coach and my coaches have talked to the coach a little bit. I know they are losing some of their outfielders, which is really nice for me.” Although Post 218 endured a steady diet of losing, assistant coach Paul Sumners liked the focus displayed by his players. “We may be short on talent compared to the other teams, but these guys always fight,” said Sumners. “I would say over the last couple of years, I enjoyed this team the most. They never quit. We have gotten beaten bad before and you could see guys hang their heads, give up, and not come, all of that kind of stuff. These guys gave the best that they had.” Sumners credited his son Chris, a recently graduated Hun School standout, and Dudeck with setting the right tone. “They are not the most vocal guys,” said Sumners. “They are the guys that came on time and when they come to practice, they come to work. The guys can feed off of that. They don’t have an attitude or anything. After the game you will see them carrying equipment and working on the field. A lot of times with the older kids, they are gone.”
Rider
The squad’s younger kids gained valuable experience this season. “If you are in 9th or 10th grade and you don’t get much varsity time, here you get to play baseball,” added Sumners. “You get a chance to get a lot of playing time, which can benefit you greatly next year when you are playing at the varsity level. You are not as intimidated. Some of it is physical but the mental aspect is so much of it, the feeling that I belong and the feeling that I can compete at this level.” In his post-game message last Wednesday, Post 218 manager Tommy Parker beseeched his players to keep competing. “It was learn the game, love the game, and be about excellence,” said Parker. “The awe factor for these guys is gone. Next spring when high school baseball
season starts, they will be ready to play at a varsity level with their experience here.” Looking ahead, Parker is confident that Post 218 can experience greater success if its youthful core keeps improving. “We have a great foundation for next summer,” said Parker. “We go to league meetings and these guys like to be boastful. The thing I can smile at is yeah, but we will see you down the road. You are going to have to deal with these kids for another three years if all of them stay together.” Dudeck, for his part, believes that things can come together for Princeton. “I feel like it has gotten better,” said Dudeck. “They grew as the season went on.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries
Maria Carmen Cortes Bugena Maria Carmen Cortes Bugena passed away at home in Princeton on June 24. She was 97. Over the course of five decades, Maria devoted her life to the care and nurture of others. In this way, she truly became a member of each of the families with whom she worked. She set an unsurpassed example of dignity and humility noted by any who had the pleasure to meet her. Born four months premature on a ship off the coast of Valparaiso, Chile, to Liborio Cortes and Clara Bugena, her long life defied all odds. After contracting polio at the age of five, Maria was left unable to walk for over a year. It was during this time
that she learned to sew as she helped her mother tailor uniforms for the Chilean navy. The third of 12 children, Maria remained in Chile until she saw both of her parents through their respective battles with cancer. Working for the John M. Schmunk family as a housekeeper and nanny during their years in Santiago, Maria emigrated to the United States in June 1964 to continue working with the family in Titusville, N.J. Maria’s final station was that of housekeeper and cook for Mr. and Mrs. Bertram F. Bonner in Princeton. Working for the couple and their family for over 25 years, Maria faithfully maintained her post for a year following the passing of Mrs. Corella C. Bonner in 2002. It was not until 2003 at the age of 83 that Maria officially stopped working. While her formal duties may have ended, Maria’s love for and devotion to those around her was undying. Maria is sur vived by the five women whom she helped to raise and their families: Danner (Schmunk) and Andrew Reibe of Titusville and their children Brendan, Sian and Liela; Barbara (Schmunk) and David Burdick of Glenmoore, Pa., and their children Alli and Ryan; June (Schmunk) and Brian Cullen of Amherst, N.H., and their children Eliza, Alexandra and Isabella; Caitlin Hughes of New York City; and Johanna (Hughes) and John Hunsbedt of Princeton and their children Oliver and Audrey. A Memorial Mass will be
held at St. Paul’s Church in Princeton on Saturday, July 29 at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, Maria wished that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. ———
Garlie A. Forehand
A memorial service to celebrate the life of Dr. Garlie A. Forehand will be held at 11 a.m. on July 29th at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton at 50 Cherry Hill Road, with a reception to follow. A professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, researcher at Educational Testing Service (ETS), author, and avid lover of travel and opera, Garlie Forehand of Princeton passed away on May 14, 2017. Born in Lexington, Va. in 1933, he was the son of Garlie A. and Edith B. Forehand and grew up in Richmond, Va. He met his wife Emma while at the University of Richmond for his undergraduate work. Moving to Chicago, he received his graduate degree from the University of Illinois in Urbana. For many years he was a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University until he moved to Princeton and started his work in research at ETS in 1973. After retiring from the position of director of research program planning and development from ETS in 2000, he continued to consult in the areas of research design and workplace communication with an emphasis on curriculum innovation and evaluation. Garlie was dedicated to research and learn-
ing and as such, volunteered for Literacy Volunteers in Mercer County, Inc. for several years. He will be remembered for trips to the Tanglewood Music Center, crossword puzzles, tr ying different foods with his dining club, his doodles, and a caring and inviting smile. Father of the late Thomas A. Forehand, he is survived by his wife of 60 years, Emma (Costello) Forehand; two sons Michael W. and Joseph L. Forehand; daughter Karen E. Michael; daughters-in-law Lydia Harris and Elizabeth Connor; son-in law Jeff Michael; a brother John Forehand; his niece, Cathy McNutt; and two grandchildren, Jeremy Forehand and Miranda Bermejo. Garlie and his wife Emma supported many local organizations such as the Universalist Unitarian Congregation, The Princeton Festival, and Princeton University S u m m er Cha mb er C on certs. They also volunteered for Meals on Wheels and as such, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Garlie’s memory be made to any of the above volunteer organizations.

In an ideal world, your old home would be sold at exactly the same moment as you take possession of your new home. In the real world, that’s rarely the case. Here’s how to negotiate the buying-and-selling process to minimize bumps and to avoid holding two mortgages at the same time: • Price it right. Not only do you not want to hold two mortgages for a long period of time, but you also don’t want to have your home sit on the market for too long - and miss out on eager buyers. Make sure your home is really priced to sell. • Be willing to deal. You want to sell your home fast, so this is not the time to fret over small details. Know your absolute bottom line and be willing to accept it. • Accept the consequences. Buying first means two mortgages. Can you handle that financially? Selling first means you may have to rent temporarily and store some (or all) of your stuff. Be prepared no matter which option you choose. Most importantly, rely on your agent. You’re certainly not the first person to negotiate the buysell two-step. Let your agent take the lead and help you find the strategy that works for you.
