SAVE to move from crumbling buildingBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

Although SAVE, A Friend toHomeless Animals may be thelargest shelter in the area, it isnot nearly large enough to accom-modate the average of 400 ani-mals that pass through its wallseach year. The staff of eight adop-tion counselors, a veterinarian, ahumane education director, threeadministrative staff members

and more than 350 volunteers arestruggling to do their jobs and

care for 75 animals in what Exec-utive Director Piper Burrowscalls a crumbling building. Theorganization is now just a fewsteps away from its longtime goalof moving to a state-of-the-art fa-cility.

The Small Animal VeterinaryEndowment was founded in 1941by veterinarian Cornelia Jaynes,the third female graduate of the

Cornell School of VeterinaryMedicine, and her friend, Emily

Myrick. The two women commit-ted themselves to using their re-sources to help alleviate the strayanimal population that, like thetown of Princeton at the time,was exponentially growing.Jaynes farm became the site thathoused stray cats and dogs andprovided neutering services.

After her death in 1969, Jaynesdedicated her farm to her beloved

strays and set up a trust fromwhich the organization receives

small dividends each year. The or-ganization merged with the SmallAnimal Rescue League. The twogroups built SAVEs current shel-ter and for 42 years have beenplacing animals in crisis with lov-ing families. SAVE merged withFriends of Homeless Animals in2006 and created the largest shel-ter for cats and dogs in the area.

As for Jaynes once stately

farmhouse, Burrows says, Its awreck, and only used for animal

placements.SAVE is highly regulated by

the Princeton Health Depart-ment, so its numbers do not groweach year, but with more than 40years of constant use, the shelteris suffering.

Burrows described SAVE, AFriend to Homeless Animals, as

NORA CARNEVALE/The Sun

SAVEs current facilities, seen at left, are far too small to accommodate more than 400 animals that pass through its doors each year. The renovated James Van Zandt House inBlawenburg, seen at right, sits on 12 acres and will provide a beautiful, state-of-the-art site to house SAVEs strays and administrative offices.

Institute for Advanced Study to present new housing plansBy KATIE MORGAN

The Sun

The Institute for AdvancedStudy was scheduled to presentan amended plan for new facultyhousing to the Princeton Plan-ning Board on June 17.

The Planning Board unani-mously approved the original IASplan in March 2012, with the con-dition that the IAS seek the ap-proval of the Delaware and Rari-tan Canal Commission.

The DRCC approval was de-

nied in January, when the regula-tory agency voted 4-3 against theplan, which would have utilizedone-third of an acre of a 100-footbuffer that runs along a streamon the property.

The amended IAS plan reduces

the size of the proposed housingby adjusting lot lines within thepreviously approved boundaries.

The IAS-owned proposed build-ing site borders the PrincetonBattlefield State Park, and citi-zens have fought against the proj-ect, saying the site has historicalsignificance.

The amended plan maintains a13-acre buffer zone between thehousing and the Battlefield Park,an easement that will be open tothe public and battlefield visitors.

After the Planning Board meet-ing, the IAS will resubmit theproposal to the DRCC. If approvalis given, the plans will go beforethe Mercer County PlanningBoard.

Former Triangle Clubaccountant indictedThe former accountant for

Princeton Universitys popularTriangle Club was indicted by astate grand jury on June 2 oncharges of embezzling more than$180,000 from the musical comedygroup.

Thomas John Muza, 55, ofHightstown, was the troupes ac-countant from 1993 until May2013, when he was fired after un-

explained expenditures werefound in the Triangle Clubs fi-nancial records.

Muza was serving as the gener-al manager of McCarter Theatrewhen the investigation began, a

position he was suspended from

on Nov. 19, 2013.Muza, who was paid an annual

salary of $4,000, was a signatoryon the clubs bank account. Ac-cording to court documents, he isaccused of writing nearly $90,000in Triangle Club checks to him-self, and depositing them in hispersonal bank account. Muza isalso accused of using an addition-al $95,000 in Triangle Club fundsto make mortgage, utility andcredit card payments.

Muza was indicted on a charge

of second-degree theft by unlaw-ful taking.

Acting State Attorney GeneralJohn Hoffman announced the in-dictment on June 2.

Rather than acting as an hon-

est steward and ensuring that

funds were strictly used to carryon the Triangle Clubs grand en-tertainment tradition, Muza al-legedly abused the trust placed inhim and shamelessly treated theclubs bank account like hisown, Hoffman said.

The case will be heard in Mer-cer County Superior Court.

Ten years ago, a group of the-ater professionals and enthusi-asts gathered at the PrincetonianDiner to mourn the demise of theOpera Festival of New Jersey.Among those at the diner that daywas Marcia Acheson, chairmanof the marketing committee forThe Princeton Festival.

We all talked about how sad itwas, but Richard Tang Yuk waswith us, the artistic director ofwhat would be Princeton Festival,

and we started discussing a festi-val with a broader scope and ap-peal across the community for thesummer time, Acheson said.

In 2005, the first June festivalwas offered to area residents.Since then, it has offered fullystaged operas, musical theater,

jazz, chamber and symphonicconcerts, piano and organrecitals, dance, world music and apiano competition for youngartists. The month-long festivaldraws nationally renowned pro-fessionals and partners with localyouth and adult ensembles.

We bring a wide array ofthings that interest people whoare into performing arts. Webring a very high quality of any-

thing that we do, of any produc-tion, and were always trying towiden that net, Acheson said.

The festival has always takenan interest in children, and thisyear marks the seventh young pi-anist competition. Acheson re-ported that about 115 young peo-

ple are competing in the event.Additionally this year, the PaperMoon Puppet Theatre put on afamily-friendly puppet perform-ance of Goldilocks and the ThreeBears and the Greater PrincetonYouth Orchestra performed fea-turing the Symphonic and Con-

cert Orchestras and Chorale.This years crown jewel of the

Princeton Festival will be theopera Porgy and Bess byGeorge Gershwin, Dubose andDorothy Heyward and Ira Gersh-win. The performance will beheld at McCarter Theater on Sun-

day, June 22 at 3 p.m.; Friday, June27 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 29 at3 p.m.

The production represents ahuge undertaking for the Prince-ton Festival.

Porgy and Bess is such ahuge production. We have about40 people in the cast; there are 12children in the chorus. It is a verycomplicated piece to put on,Acheson said.

She explained that the organi-zation has tried to reach out todifferent interests and bring infamilies and children with young

talent. Additionally, Achesonfeels the festival is always tryingto put on performances that arenot done very often.

Next year, which Acheson ex-plained is already being planned,will most likely include the re-ad-dition of a musical comedy.

Well probably go back andadd a musical comedy again, be-cause some people really missthat, she said.

Also in the works for next yearis a very valid traditionalopera.

By KATIE MORGANThe Sun

Tourism in the Princeton re-gion is on the rise, according to aPrinceton Regional Chamber ofCommerce study.

The Economic Impact ofTourism in the Princeton Region,2013 Results showed a 3.6 percentincrease in visitor spending be-tween 2012 and 2013. The totalspent by visitors in 2013 was ap-proximated at $1.9 billion.

At a press conference heldJune 9 at the Morven Museum,

John Thurber, Princeton Region-al Chamber of Commerce chair-man, thanked the Chamber Visi-tors Bureau for its work to bringtourists to the region.

This is a very significantstudy measuring the economicimpact of tourism in our regionand its growth over the last year,Thurber said. The good news isthat the impact is substantial andgrowing in our region and out-pacing the states averages.

The study defined the Prince-

ton region as all of Mercer Coun-ty and parts of Middlesex andSomerset counties. The study cov-ered the economic impact oftourism across different cate-gories, measuring both monetaryprofit and job support. Tourism-related jobs have grown by 1,100from 2012. In all, there are 35,800

people in the Princeton regionemployed by the tourism indus-try, many of them at the Trenton-Mercer Airport.

Mercer County ExecutiveBrian Hughes spoke at the press

conference about the impact airtraffic at the Trenton-Mercer Air-port has had on the local econo-my.

The airport is so important,Hughes said. There are 18,000people flying in and out everyweek.

Of the $1.9 billion visitorsspent in 2013, $345.3 million came

from shopping, $301.6 million wasspent on accommodations, $402.5million on transportation, $335.6million on recreation and enter-

tainment and $527.9 million fromfood and beverage sales.

Brian Tyrell, the travel andtourism expert who conductedthe study, explained the way thebreakdown of spending is deter-

mined.Every dollar spent on hotel and

lodging is counted toward theoverall total, while a percentage

of spending in other areas, suchas shopping or food and dining, iscounted based on national aver-ages. Tyrell said the formula isused to avoid categorizing themoney residents spend at localrestaurants and retailers astourism dollars.

Princeton officials and busi-ness owners, including MimiOmiecinski, owner of the Prince-ton Tour Company, briefly dis-cussed a missed opportunity fortourism spending through bustours that stop briefly in down-town Princeton on their way to

New York or Philadelphia.Were leaving millions of dol-

lars on the table by not having aplan with not only just local andregional bus services, but the in-ternational ones as well,Omiecinski said.

Hughes said he waslooking forward to the spendingpower the Special Olympicswould bring to the Princeton re-gion.

Athletes, their coaches andtheir families will be coming into

the area, Hughes said. And theyare going to bring economic activ-ity like we havent seen in a longtime in Mercer County.

in our opinion

Victory for all of usOpen Public Records Act is a tool we can all use


APrinceton publication scored

a court victory this month

thanks to the Open Public

Records Act, but on a larger stage,

OPRA failed to solve a much bigger

problem that has come to light in the

state this year.

In Mercer County Superior Court,Judge Mary Jacobson ruled that the

state Division of Alcoholic Beverage

Control must pay the legal fees in-

curred in a case brought against it

by news site Planet Princeton, after

the agency refused a 2013 OPRA re-

quest.

The judge found that a journalist or

publication submitting an OPRA re-

quest does not have to get the consent

of a third party to release informa-

tion. Rather, that burden falls on the

agency fulfilling the request.

Jacobsons ruling strengthens

OPRA, and adds one small shovel to

the cache of tools a journalist must

use to dig up facts and data.

But state officials who attempted to

use OPRA to improve transparency re-

garding the Port Authority hit a road-

block when proposed legislation fiz-

zled.

New Jersey and New York state law-

makers planned a joint press confer-

ence at the end of May to unveil re-

forms to the Port Authority, an agency

that has recently fallen under close

scrutiny in the wake of the Bridge-

gate scandal.

The biggest reform state officialsplanned to announce was an exciting

one a bill that would make the Port

Authority subject to OPRA, making

it far easier to get answers to ques-

tions that have lingered since it was

revealed in January that a Port Au-

thority official allegedly ordered lane

closures on the George Washington

Bridge to get political retribution on a

local mayor.

Unfortunately, the eagerly awaited

press conference was cancelled less

than an hour before it was scheduled

to begin, with one of the bills prime

sponsors in New Jersey telling re-

porters it was too rushed, and an-

other saying lawmakers, were not on

the same page.

Several weeks post-cancellation,

New York lawmakers are not waiting

around for New Jersey to get it togeth-

er. The NY State Senate will consider

two reform bills before its legislative

session ends on June 19. Halfway

through June, it is beginning to look

as though New Jerseys Legislature

will break for a summer recess with-

out considering any reforms.

Though the two states began this

race together, it seems New Jersey hastwisted an ankle, and now we may not

cross the finish line at all.

This is frustrating to us, as journal-

ists, and it ought to be even more frus-

trating to the residents and readers

our publication serves.

The Open Public Records Act is, at

present, a tool we can only use in cer-

tain circumstances, and for certain

jobs; and it ought to be more like a one-

size-fits-all Swiss Army knife.

Planet Princetons victory is a

victory for us all, because it puts us

one step closer to a desirable level of

transparency from our state agencies

but it is one step in a long marathon,

and now here we are with a twisted

ankle.

Whether well be able to hobble the

next few miles remains to be seen, but

our state lawmakers had better get a

move on.

Each dog to have own run in new facility

the Match.com of shelter place-ments, but feels the current con-ditions at the shelter are limitingthe staff from excelling to thefullest potential.

It takes an army of people tocare for these animals, Burrowssaid. But there is just not enoughroom for everyone.

Rooms throughout the shelterare filled with dogs in pens both

inside and outside, and cats instacked cages. While crowded,they are showered in attentionfrom the multitude of volunteersmilling about the buildings.

Burrows pointed out that costsat a shelter add up from unlikelyculprits. For example, twice ayear, the washer and dryers needreplacing due to the 100 loads oflaundry that are done per week.Next to the washer and dryers arehundreds of donated dog bedsand blankets.

We dont waste anything, wedont waste money, we dont havemoney, she said.

Perhaps Burrows largest con-cern is the lack of a shelter de-sign conducive to minimizing theanimals stress. Coming from achildhood spent volunteeringwith the SPCA, she has a deeplove for each stray and recognizes

the current set up can exacerbatean animals anxiety.

When the dogs face each other

and are crowded, they are morelikely to get worked up, she said.

Fortunately, in SAVEs new fa-cility, each dog will have theirown run, eliminating the stress ofstaring at each other all day.

In what Burrows explained isan almost unbelievable dreamcome true, the animals and staffwill, at long last, have the shelterthey deserve by September at theJames Van Zandt House inBlawenburg. A donor couple gave

the 1860s mansion nestled on 12acres to SAVE years ago with a vi-sion for an aesthetically beautifuland technically functional facili-ty. With the donation, SAVElaunched a capital campaign toraise $3 million to renovate the fa-cility and construct the 8,200square foot shelter next to theItalianate Villa style home. SAVEis a mere $600,000 and a couple ofpending permits away from itsgoal, but Burrows says, pointingout the new shelters dog-shaped

mailbox, its official.Pulling up to the new facility,

immediate indicators of commu-nity excitement are clear. Bur-rows said an Eagle Scout candi-date recently renovated the prop-ertys old well house for the proj-ect to help preserve the integrityof the site. She said the new shel-ter would allow for about a 33 per-

cent increase in the number ofanimals SAVE can comfortablyaccommodate. SAVE will be ableto shelter 75 cats and 25 dogs as

compared to the average of 60cats and 15 dogs that are current-ly at SAVE. Additionally, morehealth and wellness services will

be offered, and an on-site spayand neuter clinic for the shelteredanimals will be possible.

Right now, we have to prettymuch farm everything out toother clinics, so doing the spayand neuter procedures on-sitewill really change everything,Burrows said.

Adoptive families will be ableto take advantage of bondingrooms to meet their shelter pets,and areas will be available for dogtraining classes and orientationclasses for staff and volunteers.The new facility will also provide

walking trails for animals andgardens. The state-of-the art shel-ter, which was designed in collab-oration with the Maddies ShelterMedicine Program at CornellUniversity, will even feature anair filtration system to ensureonly healthy air circulates thebuilding.

Burrows explained that thenew location would allow SAVEto expand its programs and serv-ices to Montgomery Township, aswell as allow for the organiza-

tions Partners in Empathy Train-ing Program for area elementaryschools to be conducted on site.

We have a rich history, we area Princeton tradition, and wehave families that come back tous many times. Weve beenaround the block and we areready for this next chapter, Bur-rows said.

Adopt-a-petThere are more than 60 cats and 15 dogs at SAVE waiting to

find their forever home. For more information, or if interested inadopting an animal, visit www.save-animals.org or call

(609) 921-6122.

Han SoloHan Solo is a one-and-a-half

year old male Pit Bull mix. He

came to SAVE as a stray and isa young, fun-loving puppy atheart.

LibertyLiberty is a female two-year-

old tabby. She loves being out

of her cage, exploring andlooking out the window.

The Sun

Municipal officials may soonbe discussing an ordinance thatwould limit the hours of somebusinesses operating in the town.

At the June 9 meeting, Directorof Planning Lee Solow proposedto the Council that it consideradopting a law that would requirebusinesses that are adjacent to aresidential area to close by a cer-tain time.

Mayor Liz Lempert saidSolows suggestion was sparkedby concerns from residents wholive close to businesses that areopen 24 hours a day.

Over the years, there havebeen concerns raised by neigh-borhoods and retaining quality oflife, Lempert said. One threat isthe possibility of businesses thatare open 24/7, which can dramati-cally impact the quality of life if

theyre located right in your back-

yard. I spoke to Lee Solow and heconfirmed that this is somethingthats come up several times overthe past decade.

Solow said residents have cometo him with specific concernsabout litter, noise and crowdsgathering late at night.

Were making you aware thatthere are these concerns, and see-ing if theres any interest in craft-ing an ordinance, Solow said.Most of the retail businesses intown open after 8 a.m. and closeby 9 p.m. Most of the food estab-lishments are open a little later,and all the establishments with aliquor license are allowed to beopen until 2 a.m.

Solow said if council didconsider drafting an ordinance,the planning staff would recom-mend setting limits that wouldnot allow businesses to open be-fore 5 a.m. or remain open after 2a.m.

Solow said there would be ex-

emptions built into the ordinancefor businesses that currently op-erate 24 hours, such as the Wawaon University Place, and for phar-macies that are open 24 hours.

Solow said he does not believethe regulations would dramatical-ly affect any businesses in town,but would provide the councilwith a measure of control overthe operating hours of local busi-nesses.

Kristen Appelget, director ofcommunity affairs at PrincetonUniversity, thanked council forstarting a thoughtful discus-sion on the issue, but asked thatin moving forward with the ordi-nance it consider how it might af-fect students at both Princetonand other surrounding institutesof higher education.

I live in the world of under-

graduate students whose livesstart at 10 p.m., Appelget said.Ive been called to committeemeetings where 10 p.m. is theirnormal start time. I understandthe concerns of residents who areadjacent to these businesses, but Ithink there are some things thatshould be considered.

In particular, Appelget men-tioned the Princeton Garden The-atre, which provides late-nightentertainment that Appelgetcalled a good alternative forboth university and high schoolstudents.

You should think carefullyabout how this would impactsome of the later night program-ming the Garden Theatre does,Appelget said.

Lempert, who supports craft-ing and adopting an ordinance,mentioned several other munici-palities that have successfullypassed laws governing hours ofoperation.

This is an issue thats not justunique to Princeton, but is cer-tainly prevalent in other townsaround the state, Lempert said.I think it makes sense to lookaround and see how other com-munities are dealing with this.

Lempert mentioned ordi-nances passed in Springfield andCamden that were challenged andultimately upheld in court.

This would help preserve thecharacter of our residentialneighborhoods and protect thequality of life, and would reducepotential need for increased po-lice patrols, Lempert said.There are several reasons thiswould be good forPrinceton.Council is expected torevisit the issue at an upcomingmeeting.

Princeton Day School students are able totake on the challenge of a high ropes courseonce again, for the first time since Super-storm Sandy decimated the original facilitythat was built more than 15 years ago.

On June 2, Head of School Paul Stellatojoined Parents Association President LynnLien and President-Elect Gina Goldberg alongwith Health and Physical Education instruc-tor and girls varsity lacrosse Coach JillThomas to cut the ribbon on the new ropescourse.

The loss of the original course was a hugehit to the campus, as many PDS students andsummer programs campers frequented thehigh ropes. The new course is funded by thePDS parents association, and is now in a newlocation at the ravine between the lower gymand the Pagoda fields.

The location is a perfect place for the newcourse. A ravine behind the main schoolbuilding provides the necessary space and en-vironment needed for a state-of-the-art chal-

lenge course, Thomas said.The new course is comparatively more

spread out and features an additional islandoffering students more climbing room. How-ever, the course features replacements of thesame basic elements as the original. Both

courses were built by High 5 AdventureLearning Center.

According to Thomas, the most excitingnew component is the Voyager Course,which is a static belay system with a series ofseven different elements that are intercon-nected.

Thomas explained that while a high ropescourse is an exciting physical challenge, itserves to educate students in much deeperways.

Having a ropes course and adventure pro-gram at PDS for the last 20 years has providedstudents in the Upper School physical educa-tion program with a selective and non-tradi-tional choice in both the fall and spring terms.Students get to experience low- and high-chal-lenge course elements, teamwork and trust,and problem-solving skills, she said.

The students are so enthusiastic about theropes course that many have trained through-out the years to become student facilitators.

In addition to being used by Upper Schoolstudents during physical education and sum-mer campers from grades three to 12, theropes course is also used for faculty in-service

exercises.Simply put, the feedback on the new

course has been awesome, Thomas said.As for preventing future damage to the

course, Thomas said the new location wouldhopefully be the best prevention.

Council hears presentation aboutpreserving towns natural resources

By KATIE MORGAN

The Sun

The Princeton Council heard apresentation on June 9 about pre-serving the towns natural re-sources and managing largeareas of open space.

Adam Schellhammer, naturalresources manager of Friends ofPrinceton Open Space, discussedthe past, present and future of theMountain Lakes ManagementArea.

Schellhammer said F.O.P.O.S.,in cooperation with the munici-pality, acquired the Billy JohnsonMountain Lakes Preserve in 1987.In the years since, the organiza-tion has adopted the John Wither-spoon Woods and MountainLakes North. The three preservedareas, totaling 145 acres, are col-lectively referred to as the Moun-tain Lakes Management Area.

The management area is adja-cent to more than 200 additionalacres of contiguous public open

space and preserved farmland, in-cluding Community Park North,Coventry Farm, and the pre-served fields of Tusculum, forwhich F.O.P.O.S. is also responsi-ble.

The focus of our mission is toimprove plant diversity and in-crease habitat value, Schellham-mer said. F.O.P.O.S. is dedicatedto maintaining this open space asan important source of beautyand recreation for the communi-ty.

Schellhammer said part of theF.O.P.O.S. management plan re-quired dividing the space into 22management areas based on loca-tion, hydrology, soils and vegeta-tion. Each area is a different habi-tat, which Schellhammer saidgives the preserve an enormousamount of diversity.

These are incredible littlemicro-ecosystems, Schellham-mer said. They support aquaticanimals, several turtle and frog

species and lot of wetland biodi-versity.In order to maintain these

habitats, Schellhammer saidF.O.P.O.S. is focused on removinginvasive and non-native plant

species from the preserve. Non-

native, fast-growing plants suchas honeysuckle, multi-flora rose,stilt grass and Japanese barberryhave proven challenging forcrews maintaining the areas.

We work to maintain biodiver-sity by monitoring and removinginvasive plant species and plant-ing native species, Schellham-mer said. This management re-quires a multifaceted approach,including the manual removal ofplants, the application of[Department of EnvironmentalProtection-approved] herbicidesand the planting of competingspecies.

Schellhammer showed counciland the public a photo of multi-flora rose and stilt grass plantsgrowing in the management area.

This gives a great picture ofwhat an invasive species can do toa landscape, Schellhammer said.It has almost completely dis-placed the native flora and will re-duce the biodiversity in this

area.Councilwoman Jo Butler said

she was happy to have been edu-cated about the invasive, non-na-tive status of honeysuckle, whichis commonly seen in Princeton.

Im not a naturalist, but I jogon the D&R Canal Towpath andthe honeysuckle smells great, butthe path is being overrun, Butlersaid. Im almost sorry Im notsupposed to like them, becausetheyre pretty and they smell sogood.

Schellhammer said F.O.P.O.S.tries to replace the honeysuckle itremoves with something equallyfragrant.

We try to replace it with some-thing native that still smellsgreat, Schellhammer said. Welook to maintain the aestheticbeauty using native plants.

Butler said she had a difficultexperience with a non-native in-vasive plant species when bam-boo threatened to overtake her

yard.Its easy to start out thinking alittle bit of it is sort of nice andthen one day you wake up andyoure overwhelmed by it, shesaid.

Schellhammer suggested that

Princeton residents use the NJStrike Team website to familiar-ize themselves with non-nativespecies and learn what to look forand how to identify and treat in-vasive plants growing in theirown yards.

The full F.O.P.O.S. managementplan is available at www.prince-tonnj.gov, and more informationabout invasive flora can be foundat www.njisst.org.

Princeton Day School GardenCoordinator Pam Flory was pre-sented with the Garden Club ofAmericas Elizabeth AbernathyHull Award, which is given an-

nually to recognize the out-standing achievements of indi-viduals furthering the early en-vironmental education of chil-dren.

According to the Garden Clubof America website, the HullAward was established in 1992and provides $1,000 to chosen re-cipients who honor Hulls com-mon sense approach to environ-mental awareness by inspiringchildren to appreciate the beau-ty of our planet.

Flory has been a member ofthe Princeton Day School facul-ty since 2011, and has not onlytransformed Princeton DaySchools organic garden into asubstantial working garden thatis used for both teaching and tobolster the school cafeteria, but

also has helped lead a robustcomposting program for all stu-dents at the school.

Carrie Dyckman and KatyKinsolving nominated Flory

through the Stony Brook Gar-den Club, and letters of supportcame from several members ofthe PDS community, includingRyan Sullivan 19 and Sustain-ability Coordinator and US Eng-lish teacher Liz Cutler.

Cutler received the HullAward a few years ago, makingit of special note that two PDSteachers have received this na-tional award.

To quote Ryan Sullivans let-ter about Flory, She teaches usto dig deeper and learn more byexperiencing what she loves.And her love shows through herenthusiasm for whatever shedoes teaching classes, leadingclubs and camps, or stopping byto check in when she sees you inthe hallway.

On May 28, James Randall, pro-fessor of music emeritus atPrinceton University, died ofheart failure at his home inPrinceton at the age of 84.

Randall, a composer, music the-orist and author, referred to him-self as one of the granddaddies

of electronic music, according toPrinceton University.

His colleague, Paul Lansky, aretired William Shubael Conantprofessor of music at Princeton,described working with Randallas always interesting.

Jim has extraordinary powersof concentration, so anytime onewould get engaged with him in aconversation about something itwas always intense, Lanskysaid.

Born on June 16, 1929, in Cleve-land, Ohio, Randall earned hisbachelors degree from ColumbiaUniversity in 1955. He went on toearn a masters degree from Har-vard University in 1956 and anMFA from Princeton Universityin 1958.

Randall joined the Princetonfaculty in 1958 and retired in 1991.He and Lansky, along with others,had a large role in the develop-ment of a cutting-edge music pro-duction system known as the

Princeton Music IV Facility. Thefacility involved the use of theIBM 360/91 computer.

In the 60s, the first reallylarge computers started to arriveon campus. At the time, some peo-ple at Bell Labs had experimentedwith getting computers to makesound. With a computer, youwrite a string of numbers andthen those get converted to posi-

tive and nega-tive voltagesand eventual-ly come out ofa speaker. Jimwas one of thefirst people towork with thistechnique,Lansky said.

Lanksy re-

flected on oneof Randalls most triumphantworks, a 20-minute piece entitledLyric Variations for Violin andComputer.

Lyric Variations was reallyone of the first masterpieces ofthe genre, Lansky said of thepiece that was composed in 1968.

Many of Randalls voice, in-strumental ensemble and com-puter works have been performedlive and on the radio not just in

the United States, but also aroundthe world. Randall also composeda computer score for the filmEakins.

During Randalls active mili-tary service in the Korean Warfrom 1951 to 1954, he instructedmusic theory at the U.S. NavySchool of Music in Washington,D.C.

Randall was known for havinga way with words and being anengaging conversationalist.

He had one of the most inter-

esting minds and always had themost interesting things to say,Lansky said.

When asked what Randallsbiggest contribution was to theuniversity, Lansky responded:

He was an extraordinarilydedicated teacher. He took his stu-dents very seriously. He alwayshad constructive things to sayand was very skilled at guiding

people through difficult terrain.Randall, along with Benjamin

Boretz, professor of music, emeri-tus at Bard College, co-foundedthe American Society of Univer-sity Composers.

At Princeton, Randall instruct-ed a multitude of courses in com-position and theory, analysis, en-semble performance and improvi-sation to both undergraduate and

graduate students. He has beenpublished in a variety of journalsincluding Perspectives of NewMusic, Journal of Music Theory,Music Review and the MENCJournal of the National Associa-tion for Music Education.

Randall is survived by his wife,Ruth; children Ellen, Thomas andBeth; and seven grandchildren.

Steffanie Shoop often usesgraphical aids in different unitsof her AP Biology class. Whenshe distributed a graphic to herclass detailing the exponentialgrowth of certain animals in thewild, she realized she needed tomake a correction.

When I gave them the graphic

on elephant growth, I mentionedto them that the growth was nolonger a true statement. I ex-plained to them what is going onin Africa with poaching, Shoopsaid.

Shoops students were movedby what they heard.

Examples of what Shoopshared with her class includedevery 15-20 minutes another ele-

phant has been poached, andwithin the next 10 years ele-phants will go extinct if we dontdo something to change it.

After her students learned theseverity of the issue, they set outto find a way to help.

They were really upset aboutthe possibility of no one beingable to see an elephant in thewild, Shoop said.

The students approached

Shoop about starting a Save theElephants club to raise awarenessand funds to contribute to nation-al parks. Shoop agreed to advisethe club.

The first project undertaken bythe mostly upperclassmen clubwas the students recruiting sever-al local businesses to fund thecreation of t-shirts supportingthe cause. The students soldthe t-shirts and donated the pro-ceeds to the World Wildlife Foun-

dation.The next order of business wasa spelling bee hosted on June 13,complete with intermittent musi-cal numbers performed by someof the members band.

Shoop explained that Save the

Elephants is now wrestling withthe idea of where to donate theproceeds from future events.

We are trying to decide whichnational park to choose, becausewe want to make sure that themoney is actually going to savethe elephants and not just pay forthe upkeep of park rangersbuildings or anything like that.Weve narrowed it down, butwere still milling through op-

tions, she said. It was awesomethat these kids took the initiativeto really try to make a difference.Theyre doing a really good job.

The club is open to anyone, andmeetings are held every Tuesday.Shoop encourages everyone fromfreshmen to seniors to get in-volved.

As for the future, she hopes theclub continues to grow and makean impact.

I would very much hope that

it lasts. You never really know soIll have to wait and see, but thehope is that there are enough kidsin the group that find it a worthycause and that it will continue. Aslong as they want to do it, Ill behere, she said.
