Car thefts in winter months encouragePrincetonians to keep their doors locked

and cars off even on cold morningsBy ERICA CHAYES

The Sun

Since the months grew cold,the number of reported theftsfrom vehicles around Princetonhave increased. According to thePrinceton Police Department, res-idents have reported on a near-weekly basis that something fromtheir car has been stolen. Some ofthese accounts have been pettythefts, where saved up meterchange was removed, while oth-ers have reported expensive itemssuch as smart phones or GPS sys-tems, and recently the most sig-nificant and disheartening report

the car itself was taken.What is the connection be-

tween these cases? Are some acts

of bored mischief and others con-trived crimes? Whether there is alink between Princeton vehiclesbeing an easy target for burglaryor just coincidence, perhaps it isup to the public to keep their eyespeeled and car doors locked, po-lice officials said.

Weve had so many break-insinto unlocked cars recently, itshard to say if the culprits are just

mischievous teens or if thecrimes are part of a largergroups efforts, said Sgt. StevenRiccitello of the Princeton PoliceDepartment. We urge Princetonresidents to please keep their carslocked and turned off.

The slew of thefts began inearly December, when a ShadyBrook Lane resident reportedloose change of unknown valuewas stolen from her two carssometime between Dec. 9 and Dec.12. Shortly after, a Gulick Roadresident reported that an un-known number of coins wastaken from his car the night ofDec. 10 and Dec. 11, and a GPSunit valued at $200 was removedand tossed into a bucket of water.The next night, again on Shady

Brook Lane, a resident reportedthat $50 in cash and coin wasstolen from their vehicle. On thenight of Dec. 14 and Dec. 15, an-other car on Sycamore Road wasentered and $150 cash, creditcards and keys were taken. Abouta week later, between Dec. 23 andDec. 25, an iPhone 6, Bluetooth

The weekend before MartinLuther King Day, the Hun Schoolof Princeton was open and work-ing toward social justice with agroup of 35 students. From Fri-day, Jan. 16 through Sunday, Jan.18, Otis Douce, director of cultur-al competency, led a leadershipsummit with Kings vision inmind. In just three days, Hun stu-dents opened themselves to the

depths of personal identity andgroup dynamics and grew inways theyd never expected.

Douce explained how he andother faculty members therewere four who participated in thesummit wanted to focus less onthe history of Martin LutherKing and more on his vision andthe legacy he left.

On Friday, students were en-couraged to focus on themselvesthrough a series of activities.They explored social identity,race, class, gender, abilities anddisabilities. Saturday was gearedto unmask systematic forms ofoppression and how each individ-ual fits into the scheme of such.Sunday, the question was, howdo we become allies? and howdo we overcome forms of oppres-sion?

Tatiana Swain, Natalia Had-

away and Saraya Hamidi, whowill all graduate from Hun in2016, attended the event. All threereflected upon their experienceswith a permeating sense of grati-tude and honesty traits that arenot always first to come off the tipof a teenage girls tongue.

There was candor when thegirls spoke; a candor they each at-

tributed to the first days ice-breaker and positive deconstruc-tion of ones personhood.

The icebreaker created hon-esty and comfort for the rest ofthe summit. It was so much fun,Tatiana said.

Students were paired with apartner and asked to describehow they thought others viewed

them; the partner then respondedwith how they viewed you.

I learned things about myselfI never saw before, Tatiana said.It was so great to get a truthfulanswer. As a teenage girl, I guess Ilook for flaws. It was interestingto see that others dont view theworld as you do and to hear anoutside voice.

Thereafter, open communica-tion seemed to come naturally,Natalia agreed. At the start ofthe summit, we all had friendsand thought we knew everyone.Then, many things came out wewere never before comfortablewith expressing. But when youhear someone else is strugglingthe same way or can relate to you,an instant bond is formed.

Douce implemented an ice-berg theme throughout the sum-mit to get students to peel back

the layers of themselves and theirsociety.

See yourself as this iceberg,Douce encouraged. Some of theactivities were to help studentsget some of what is beyond thesurface to come to the top.

If they could do this, he feltthey could better explore the real-ities of social injustice some as-pects of which they may havenever realized existed.

One of the main points was toshow us what we arent seeing ineveryday life being bystanderswithout even noticing, Nataliasaid. The key point I walkedaway with was understandingwhat is going on around me. Ifound that there are ways I amnot being an ally when I can be.

Natalia proceeded to describe

On Oct. 30, 2013, Eric Maltz, atthe time a 21-year-old Princetonmale, was indicted on charges ofaggravated manslaughter, deathby auto and assault by auto. Maltzcaused a crash in front of River-side Elementary School on March

28 of that year that killed retiredPrinceton University RabbiJames Diamond.

On Dec. 31, 2014, SuperiorCourt Judge Robert Billmeierfound Maltz not guilty by reason

of insanity.After he was found not guilty,

the Mercer County ProsecutorsOffice confirmed that Maltz wasimmediately placed into care atTrenton Psychiatric Hospital andwould be re-evaluated everymonth for the next six months byBillmeier.

After three weeks of hospital-

ization, Maltz was released Fri-day, Jan. 16.

The prosecutors office con-firmed that Maltz was released onthe basis of a 24-page report rec-ommending Maltz, who posed a

danger to himself, be released oncertain conditions.

These require the acquitted toremain in psychotherapy, takemedication regularly, submit torandom drug tests and have nodriving privileges.

The case is completelyclosed, said an officer at theprosecutors office. However, if

Maltz violates any of the condi-tions that Judge Billmeier or-dered for his release, he will bebrought back for a hearing andpossibly reinstated in TrentonPsychiatric Hospital.

According to police reports,Maltz was driving a BMW downRiverside Drive at a high rate ofspeed when he hit a parked Toy-ota Camry, which in tur n hit aparked Toyota Prius. Diamond,74, was getting into the Prius atthe time and was thrown from thevehicle.

He was pronounced dead at the

scene. Rabbi Robert Freedman,who was in the drivers seat ofthe Prius, was seriously injured.

According to police, Maltz hasa history of mental health issues,and was taken to a psychiatric

hospital after the accident. Maltztold police at the time of the acci-dent that he was medicated formood disorders such as depres-sion and had before attempted toharm himself.

If convicted of manslaughter,Maltz could have faced 30 years ina state penitentiary.

According to the Mercer Coun-

ty Prosecutors office division ofhomicide, Maltz was at somepoint receiving treatmentbetween the time of theaccident and the time of the rul-ing.

As of July 1, whenthe balmy summer inspires musi-cians to enchant a coming fall

season at the symphony, Clarkewill close the curtain on her PSOcareer.

From the moment she began

working withPSO, Clarkehas been driv-ing the orches-tra beyond thelimits of itspit. In 1995,she began im-pactingPrinceton inmore waysthan just play-ing good music.

At the time, my own kids wereat Community Park School and Iwas asked to bring in string in-struments to the show the stu-

dents, Clarke said. When boardmember Judy Thomson got windof what I was doing, she said inher fabulous Australian accent:Melanie, youve got to do this forthe orchestra!

From this, PSO BRAVO, a high-ly regarded music education pro-gram, began. In addition to found-ing a program that now reaches10,000 children annually, Clarkehas also enabled the orchestra tobecome a part of its community.

I took a different path, Clarkesaid. We used to do five series a

ts no secret that our governor,

Chris Christie, is debating a run

for president of the United States

in 2016. While he hasnt officially an-

nounced whether he will throw his hat

into the ring, many believe he will do

so within the next few months.

In recent speeches, Christies focushas been on bigger national issues.

Last summer and fall, during election

season, he traveled all over the coun-

try and helped fellow Republicans

campaign for gubernatorial seats.

This past weekend, he traveled to Iowa

for a Republican summit.

All signs point to Christie announc-

ing his candidacy for president. But

would he make a good president?

According to a poll released last

week, New Jersey voters dont think

so. A Quinnipiac University poll found

that 57 percent of registered voters in

New Jersey did not think Christie

would make a good president. Almost

one-third of Republicans polled didnt

think Christie would be a good presi-

dent, along with 78 percent of Democ-

rats and 59 percent of independents.

In the same poll, 52 percent of Gar-

den State voters said they would

choose Democrat Hillary Clinton over

Christie, in a hypothetical election be-

tween the two.

Christie has won two gubernatorial

elections in New Jersey by a wide

margin in a predominantly Demo-

cratic state but apparently our

states voters dont think hed be good

for the higher post. Its not altogether

surprising, and not a death sentencefor a potential bid for president, either.

The last president from New Jersey,

Woodrow Wilson, didnt win his own

state, after all.

Maybe New Jersey voters just dont

think Christies personality would

work well running our country. Or

maybe they dont think his politics

would work on a global scale. Or

maybe they just want their governor

to concentrate on New Jersey while

hes still in that post.

in our opinion

Would Christie make a good prez?New Jerseyvoters dont think so

Living amid Princetons calmand most-coveted area completewith golf course views across thestreet, easy access into downtownPrinceton and a charismatic sun-drenched backyard one wouldthink Mary Walthams privatehome, turned studio gallery, is the

ideal abode for an artist such asWaltham. But, Waltham is anartist who avidly looks to stretchher limits.

Born and raised on a farm in atiny village in Southwest Eng-lands county of Dorset, Walthamis not one to remain stagnant inher artwork. And, like her per-sonal life, Walthams paintingsare not only brushed with au-thentic colors, but brim with vi-vacity.

Having felt drawn to artistic ex-

pression all her life, Waltham es-sentially stopped painting and

drawing at the age of 17.When I was growing up in

England, you had to choose be-tween either the arts or the sci-ences before applying to universi-ty, and I chose science. My motheralways said dont worry about

the art, you can always take it uplater and that is what has hap-

pened, Waltham explained.It wasnt until Waltham hit her

late 50s that shewas able to digfully into her

artistic roots once again.I knew this was there. I want-

ed to learn more, but with a busyprofessional life, I had no time,she said.

In the mid 1990s, Walthammoved from her country cottage

in England to Los Angeles whereJohn Hopfield her husband to

be was a professor at the Califor-nia Institute of Technology. Thepair moved east when Walthamaccepted the job as president andpublisher of Nature and theNature family of journalsbased in Manhattan.

speaker and a box of iPhone 6screen protectors were stolenfrom yet another Princeton vehi-

cle. Then, a Deer Path resident re-ported an overnight theft be-tween Dec. 29 and Dec. 30; herpurse containing cash and creditcards was taken from her vehicle.

This range of reported theftsculminated in a scenario thateveryone dreads but may notthink about on winter morningswhere a warm car seems impera-tive. At 7:35 a.m. on Jan. 16, a resi-dent on the first block of Leices-ter Court reported his 2011 AudiA4 valued at $36,000 was stolen

while he left it running in hisdriveway to warm up. Accordingto Princeton Police, the allegedthief, a male described as havingan athletic build wearing a blackwool coat and a red scarf, wasspotted during the theft. Appar-ently, he got out of a newer modelblue Mercedes, said to possibly bea C class, and drove away with theAudi.

Right now, there are a lot ofreports of cars being stolen in

surrounding communities.Hamilton Township has had nu-merous cars reported stolenwhile they were warming up in

driveways, Riccitello said. Sofar, in our community weve hadthe one but given the larger area,we suspect it to be a larger opera-tion.

Riccitello warned residentsabout leaving their cars runningunattended. He also advised all

Princetonians to sign up for thenational safety site,www.nixle.com, which with asimple registration using yourPrinceton Zip code and cell phonenumber allows residents to stayinformed with alerts and updates.Riccitello said there is also a linkto nixle on the Princeton PoliceDepartments website.

Until the PPD resolves these se-ries of thefts, big and small, thedepartment said it is wise to keepyour car locked and chilly, no mat-

ter how great the temptation for awarm seat and defrosted wind-shield. Unfortunately until wemake some arrests, Riccitellosaid, a cold car is a safe car.

In honor of Martin LutherKing, Jr. Day, Princetonians, stu-dents and youngsters alike onthis day off from work and school

came together in a variety ofways to remember the legacy andlife of King, iconic activist andleader of the African-American

civil rights movement.Of course, Princeton was notthe only community to hold atown-wide celebration Monday,Jan. 19. Oprah Winfrey and fellowaffiliates from the movie Selmaled a song-march around Selma,Ala., while numerous citiesacross the great divide of Ameri-can soil paid tribute to this day ofservice in their own way.

Princeton University com-memorated the federal holidaywith its annual MLK Day celebra-tion in Richardson Auditorium ofAlexander Hall.

PU recognizes Dr. King andhis legacy as a model for thosewho cherish civil and humanrights. We are proud to keep thislegacy alive as we stand in the na-tions service and in the service of

all nations. said Felicia Ed-wards, celebration organizer andequity and diversity program spe-cialist at the university. Prince-ton encourages its communityand others to reflect upon Kingslife, legacy and charge to Ameri-cans to help humanity evolve.

The event, which was free andopen to the public, kicked off at1:15 p.m. with opening and clos-ing musical selections by theTrenton Childrens Chorus.

A warm welcome of opening

remarks was given by Christo-pher L. Eisgruber, president ofthe university. Cecilia Rouse,dean of the Woodrow WilsonSchool of Public and Internation-al Affairs, delivered the keynoteaddress.

The university also recognizedtwo dedicated members of itsstaff for their service during theevent. Kenneth I. Grayson, shopforeman in the Electric Shop, wasawarded the Journey Award forLifetime Service, while David B.Campbell, senior staff psycholo-gist in Counseling and Psycholog-ical Services, received the Jour-ney Award for Special Achieve-ment. The Journey Awards areawarded yearly to members ofthe Princeton faculty, staff or stu-dent body who best representKing's continued journey.

The Historical Society ofPrinceton joined forces onceagain with the Arts Council ofPrinceton to observe the Ameri-can public holiday with its annu-al MLK Day art workshop, whichwas held at ACP from 1 to 3 p.m.

It is important for the familiesin the greater Princeton area tocome together to remind us thatwe all live and work together, and

we should appreciate our differ-ences and do what we can to helpeach other, said Eve Mandel, di-rector of program and visitorservices at HSP.

Bringing Kings ideals to lifeand into the community for an af-ternoon of creative learning,artistic expression and simplefun for the children, the event ac-tivities included hands-on work-shops and projects geared for ele-mentary and middle school stu-dents.

This year, at the HSP station,children made a multi-coloredfingerprint peace dove decorationand had the opportunity to talkabout how the dove is a symbol ofpeace and how King championedfor peace and equality for all peo-ple.

We hope families that partici-pated learned more about King,the man, but more than that, wehope they understand his beliefsand are inspired to do somethinggood in their communities, saidMandel of what she hoped fami-lies took away from last weeksevent.

The Princeton Clergy Associa-tion, in part with the Coalition forPeace Action, also hosted its an-nual Interfaith Service last weekin honor of King at St. PaulsRoman Catholic Church.

Next month, WPRB-FM (103.3),Princeton Universitys student-run, not-for-profit commercialradio station, and the PrincetonPublic Library will team to bringa film series promising to explorethe roots of alternative music tothe public for free.

Over the course of February,three films will be screened start-ing at 7 p.m. in the Princeton Pub-lic Librarys Community Room,located in the Sands LibraryBuilding at 65 Witherspoon St.

Mike Lupica, advisor at WPRB,routinely screens documentaryfeatures on campus for the sta-tions staff to help illuminate theculture and history of communi-ty radio.

Lupica came across a greatdeal of music documentariessome time last year that he feltwere worthy of a public screen-

ing event, and so he decided to ap-proach PPL with the idea of a col-laboration given its notable re-sume of film events.

There is an entire universe ofamazing music out there thatmost people never get the chance

to connect with. I dont thinkedgy art and culture should be aprivate pleasure that is limited tocity-dwellers. Everyone ought tohave the chance to find out aboutthis stuff, Lupica said. It is agiven that only certain hyper-cre-ative types may be the ones whoreally fall in love with it, but Iknow those people are out there,and if this series helps bringthem out of the woodwork, thenall the better.

Kim Dorman, PPL associateand coordinator for the event, feltthe series not only appropriatelyaligns with the librarys mission,but will also speak to a diverse au-dience.

These films, coupled withWPRB staff offering a frameworkfor watching and a post-screeningQ&A, will hopefully allow our at-tendees to understand independ-ent radio and music in a new way.Or perhaps just hear some greatmusic, Dorman said.

While these films are relativelyrecent released no more thantwo or three years ago they havereceived an immense amount ofcritical praise. But of course, itwas more easily said than donefor WPRB to secure rights to

screen these documentaries.Luckily, though, the station final-ly got a hold of them.

The films will be screened onMonday, Feb. 2, Feb. 16 and Feb. 23at 7 p.m.

While the hope of the series isto bring people from around thecommunity together and createan awareness of independent al-ternative music, Lupica is alsohoping the series will bring anew-found appreciation forWPRB to Princeton locals.

Not many people know this,but WPRB is not owned byPrinceton University, nor do weget any financial support fromthem though we are generouslyhoused on their campus. Howev-er, we are a real, functioningsmall business that is run byPrinceton undergraduates andstaffed by both students and com-munity members, he said. Weare a staunchly do-it-yourself or-ganization, and my main hope for

this series is that folks come awaywith a greater appreciation forwhat a successful indie radio sta-tion can bring to the community.

For more information, call(609) 924-9529 or visit,www.princetonlibrary.org.

Here is a more in-depth lookinto what you can expect fromeach of the three films that areto be screened next month:

Monday, Feb. 2, 7 p.m., BigStar: Nothing Can Hurt Me

This feature-length documen-tary tells the story of legendaryMemphis Band, Big Star whosethree albums were originallycommercial disappointments,but have now become criticallylauded touchstones of the rockmusic canon. Big Star has beencited as an influence to severalartists including, the Flaming

Lips, REM, Bell & Sebastian, El-liot Smith and so on. This filmfeatures never-before-seenfootage, photos and in-depth in-terviews, as well as a rousing

musical tribute by the bandsthey have inspired. One hour, 53minutes. Pseu Braun of WFMU-FM will lead a post-screeningdiscussion.

Monday, Feb. 16, 7 p.m., ABand Called Death

Before Bad Brains, the SexPistols or even the Ramones,there was a band called Death.But in the era of Motown andemerging disco, record compa-nies found Deaths music andband name too intimidating andthe group was never given a fairshot. This film chronicles

Deaths journey of what hap-pened almost three decadeslater, when a dusty 1974 demotape made its way out of an atticin Detroit and found an audi-

ence several generationsyounger. Playing music impossi-bly ahead of its time, Death isnow being credited as thefirst punk band and its mem-bers are finally receiving recog-nition as rock pioneers. Onehour, 38 minutes. Jon Solomonof WPRB-FM will lead a post-screening discussion.

Monday, Feb. 23, 7 p.m., Filmand Discussion: Tropicalia

In this documentary, DirectorMarcelo Machado explores theBrazilian artistic movementknown as Tropicalia that took

shape in the 1960s, its politicalreach and the struggles of itsartists. One hour, 27 minutes.Dan Buskirk of WPRB will leada post-screening discussion.

If youve been around Prince-ton in the last decade, you mayhave heard about a small group ofactors called Writers Block. Thesix core members perform at thelibrary once or twice a year, butwith no website or hosted audi-tions, its difficult to wrap yourhead around who they are unlessyouve caught wind of a show.

Mary Greenberg, one of threewho founded the group, is bytrade a piano teacher for West-minster Conservatory. With somebackground in theater studies atCarnegie Mellon University,

Greenberg expanded her stagepresence with an interest in act-ing and playwriting.

In 2002, it was Greenbergs full-length play Deer in Headlightsthat acted as the impetus to formWriters Block. Most of six coremembers who continue to be apart of the mini-company per-formed Greenbergs play at theArts Council of Princeton. Theirwork garnered the attention ofthe public library, which askedGreenberg to commit to a series.

With this, Writers Block devel-oped its own style.

Writers Block is like a reper-tory company where we get tochoose the material we want toperform, Greenberg said. Itsreally very satisfying.

The founder went on to de-scribe the types of plays it per-forms in the librarys communityroom. The driving force forGreenberg as well as for her twocomrades, group members Lillian

Israel and Julia Poulos, who helpchoose the plays before gettingthem approved by the rest of thegroup is to pick things the audi-ence likes. Most often, WritersBlock stays in the realm of con-

temporary theater, with the ex-

ception of some occasionalShakespeare or radio plays. Itchooses short plays and connectseach scene with an appropriatemusical interlude.

At its upcoming library per-formance on Feb. 1, Greenbergand her company have chosen aseries of comedies selected fromone-act complete plays.

We have found that the audi-ence loves the comedies, Green-berg said, so we choose playsthat truly strike us as funny. Weget to choose what is most enter-taining as per our taste.

For the library series, thegroup performs stage readingsrather than full plays with elabo-rate costume and set changes.Writers Block feels this is mostfitting for the setting. The groupdresses mostly in black withsome accessories, has minimalhand props because theyre al-ways holding book, and usesminimal to no scene change. To

signal a scene change, WritersBlock actor and sound engineerKen Greenberg, Marys husband,plays music the group finds fit-ting. This ranges from jazz to clas-sical and creates interesting

switches throughout the show.

Greenberg explained that eachactor gets a lot of character work.Its six members include theGreenbergs, John Weeren, DanRoth, Israel and Poulos and is di-rected by Laura Huntsman, previ-ously the coordinator for Mc-Carter Theatres training wing.

Given the size of the group,sometimes each actor can playthree, sometimes four, differentcharacters per play. Its great,Greenberg said.

The six cast members considerthemselves to be semi-profession-al. Of the three founders Green-berg, Poulos and Alan Kitty, whomoved to Florida only Kitty hadan equity card. All who partici-pate in Writers Block have a the-atrical sense and, according toGreenberg, find a wonderfulsense of fulfillment dedicatingthemselves to plays they like.

On Feb. 1, the ensemble willpresent Finger Food, El De-presso Espresso and The Con-

sequences of Goosing in the li-brarys Community Room from 3to 4:30 p.m. For more informationand updates on Writers Blocksperformances, visit www.prince-tonlibrary.org.

the activity that led to her a-ha!moment. The students were givenvarious amounts of money tospend and to raise their child

with. Those with green babiessymbolized those with wealth andprivileges that come with beingwhite. Those with purple babieshad less money and were perhapsminorities. Natalia had a greenbaby and was able to buy whatev-er she needed.

Throughout the game, I hadno idea that there were others friends around me dealing withthings I never even knew about,Natalia said. You dont realize

what you have and what othersdont. We must open our eyes tosee this; to not live life in our ownbubbles.

Douce, by way of the summit,wanted students to leave with a

more profound understanding ofwhat Martin Luther King Dayrepresents. The activities bredthe moral courage that came withKings proactive, loving approachand a greater understanding ofones self and their ability tostand up for and realize injusticesaround them.

To me, Saraya said, thesummit was interesting becausemost of us really do want to breakout of our shells, learn thingsabout each other and become bet-ter people. Often, you dont get togrow as much as you want to.This enabled us to grow and facil-itated better relationships andknowledge of others, includingour teachers.

SUMMITContinued from page 2

Summit enabled usto grow, student says

year for 800 people at RichardsonAuditorium. Now that's only thetip of the iceberg. We need com-munity support and love the ral-lying in belief for this art form.PSO engages the people ofPrinceton, the museums, the pub-lic library, university and artscouncil. We've expanded our foot-print far beyond an orchestralrepertoire.

Clarke feels the connection tocommunity is the legacy she willleave behind. She remembers thepast talks or demonstrations thatcontinue to cause her happiness ones she knows will fulfill the di-rector who takes her place.

A couple years ago, I broughtin this delightful Frenchman arare violin maker to speak at thelibrary. He was very independentand got off the train alone holding

two small packages. He then pro-ceeded to unpack millions of dol-lars worth of rare violin equip-ment for our guests, laughed

Clarke, still in awe of the demon-stration shed arranged.

Clarke proceeded to describeanother high point of her career:getting to know the musicians.She explained the types of amaz-ing talents who come to work forPSO after their studies at some ofthe best institutions in the world.She boasted how though Prince-ton is not a major city, it providesthe kind of entertainment onecould expect from New York orPhiladelphia. The auditions foronly one spot in PSOs orchestrahave come to bring in at least 100competitors, all of whom arehumble and expressive in termsof their heart.

I am so passionate, Clarkesaid with untamed enthusiasm.But I want to clear the deck for anew person to come in while PSOis strong financially, artistically

and in its partnerships. Twenty-five years is a long time to haveyour stamp on an organization.Theres no big reason for leaving.

Im happy. It was a hard decision.It was just intuition that this wasthe right time. My replacementwill walk into such a great situa-tion with an excellent staff andan audience who really loves us.

Clarke has passed the task offinding a new executive directoron to orchestra headhunter CathyFrench, who will work with asearch committee to hire a re-placement, hopefully by July 1.Clarke believes PSO, with its 35thanniversary approaching, hastruly fulfilled the vision of itsfounder Portia Sonnenfeld. Afterresigning, Clarke will continue toparticipate in PSO how so, shedoes not yet know.

I couldnt wake up in themorning and not be thinkingabout PSO in some way, saidClarke, her tone revealing thesmile on her face.

RECREATION RECAP

was quite a gap between my time

working in New York and thenmy decision to take up paintingfull time, she stated.

Establishing her own companyin 1999, Waltham worked as an in-dependent publishing consultant,

working with scientific technicaland medical publishers in theU.S. and Europe until 2014.

But, Waltham has now finallydecided to take the plunge focus-ing full time on art.

Waltham credits taking an in-troductory watercolor class with

a friend as her initial step backinto art.

From that point on, Walthamhas attended classes and work-shops locally in New York and inPhiladelphia, and she has alsostudied online with an academicgroup based in Edinburgh, Scot-land.

I have immersed myself in allaspects of painting and drawingthat exploration continues to bemost stimulating, Walthamshared enthusiastically.

The artist works in a broadrange of media, including oil,pastel, acrylic, relief print andmonotype, with her paintings and

drawings inspired by everythingfrom farms, barns and architec-ture to portraiture, the figure andstill life.

Walthams resume also in-cludes a long list of exhibitionsand juried shows since 2009, in-cluding work at the Pennsylvania

Academy of Fine Art and thePhiladelphia Sketch Club: Workson Paper just to name two of hermore recent successes.

Waltham is now preparing forher upcoming show titled OurCountryside in the ConferenceRoom at the Nassau PresbyterianChurch, located at 61 Nassau St.The artists opening receptionwill take place on Sunday, Feb. 8from 2 to 4 p.m.

From Sunday, Feb. 1 throughWednesday, March 4 weekdays,

9-5 p.m.; Sundays, 9-1 p.m. Walthams paintings, pastels andhandmade prints, of sights andscenes inspired by Princetons

unique countryside will be on dis-play and for sale to the public.

Fifty percent of the shows pro-ceeds will be donated to D&RGreenway Land Trust, New Jer-seys foremost land preservationand conservation organization tofurther its preservation and stew-

ardship mission.Once I discovered D&R Green-

way Land Trust, I felt very muchthat they are a group to be sup-ported.

Their mission is quite superband I have a deep belief in it,said Waltham. While I am notanti-development, I am keenlyaware that we need to preservethe countryside both for the pub-lic recreation and for agriculturaluse.

For further information re-

garding Waltham and/or her art-work, contact her via phone at(609) 430-0897 or by email [email protected].

Between the Arts Council ofPrinceton and the creatives sip-ping at Small World Coffee, the tal-ent in town is, to say the least, vi-brant. Featuring a local artistonce a month, The Artist Roundthe Corner is where you will find
