Judge rules on affordable housing requirements By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton has an affordable housing requirement of 753 units, covering a span from 1999 through 2025, a state judge determined March 8 in a long-awaited ruling. In a 217-page-decision, Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary C. Jacobson set Princeton’s requirement at that amount and

neighboring West Windsor’s at 1,500. Princeton will get credit for affordable units that have been built in that span, so it was not immediately clear how much actual new housing has to be constructed in the coming years or where, in a mostly developed community, it will go. In a 2015 report the town prepared as part of the court case, it showed how it could get to 445 units, through a mix of housing

already built, under construction at the time, like AvalonBay, and through zoning changes and earning credits, in order to to meet socalled “third round” requirements beginning in 1999. But the town also had raised concern about all the additional housing that would need to be constructed, since developers can build four market-rate units for every one affordable unit they provide.

Thursday’s ruling and the likelihood of more families with children living in Princeton will have implications for the school district, which is already planning a referendum in October to address rising enrollment. The town will have to develop a plan to meet the judge’s requirements that she set in her opinion, a task that has town officials confident they can achieve. “The obligation number set by

Judge Jacobsen is well within the range of what we were expecting, and we feel confident we will be able to present a plan to the court that meets that obligation, adds needed diversity, and energizes our local economy through smart growth planning,” said Mayor Liz Lempert and Council President Jenny Crumiller in a statement after the ruling was issued.

PHS students walk out for more gun safety By Sophia Cai Correspondent

Princeton High School joined 3,100 schools around the country demanding lawmakers pass more gun safety measures in a studentled walkout Wednesday morning as part of the “Enough! National School Walkout” movement. The walkout, which started at 10 a.m., lasted for 17 minutes as a tribute to the 17 victims killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, last month. At 9:45 a.m., Princeton High School students began walking out of their third-period classes. By 10 a.m., most of the student body had gathered on the football field, holding signs with slogans

like “Never again.” The names of victims of the Parkland shooting were read aloud. From 10:17 a.m. to 11:22 a.m., participating students chose from a number of service-related activities, including calling and writing to members of Congress, registering to vote, sorting food donations that the school has collected for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) leading up to the walkout, and 17 other “acts of kindness” stations around the school. Periods four and five, which normally take place during that time on Wednesdays, were cancelled. Students who choose not to participate in the walkout or the service-related activities had

Cost of school bond referendum to be revealed next week By PHILIP SEAN CURRAN Staff Writer

Residents will see next week how much the school district is looking to spend in the October bond referendum and what, in taxes, it will cost. Superintendent Stephen C. Cochrane said those figures should be released Tuesday, even as he admitted it was not an “easy time” to go before voters with a ballot question. “This is not a good time to be trying to pass a referendum,” he said this week at a school board meeting. He touched on the economy being in “a state of flux,” Photos by Scott Jacobs despite strong job growth and low unemployment. “We know that taxes are already high in this community, we McCaffrey’s Super Market hosted its annual Pi Day pie eating contest on March 10.

changes to federal law. “So this is not an easy time to be trying to sell a referendum.” His comments came before architects for the district outlined design ideas for renovating the high school and for having a new school for fifth-graders and sixthgraders on the site of the Valley Road School. The new school, targeted to open in 2020, would have a capacity for 650 students, while the renovated high school could accommodate around 2,000, architects said. The referendum, due to go on the ballot Oct. 2, will include bigticket items but other projects at district schools. “In order to meet that date, we have to make a submission to the department of Education approximately (the) middle of April,” said Scott Downie, of Spiezle Architectural Group.

Institute to donate $500K ‘gift’ to Princeton schools By PHILIP SEAN CURRAN Staff Writer

The Princeton school district will get $500,000 from the Institute for Advanced Study in a “gift” from the wealthy nonprofit to the school system that educates children from IAS families. The agreement, worked out as the district looks to bring in more outside revenue, calls for payments of $100,000 for the next five years starting with the 2018/2019 school year. The contribution will not be a major financial drain on the IAS, which had total assets of more than $907 million as of last June, according to a financial statement. As part of the announcement this week, the IAS said it had paid $568,000 in property taxes last year, making it the ninth largest taxpayer in town. But the district has wanted the IAS to do more to support a public school system that it relies upon. This year, the district has about 30 students “whose families live in IAS housing,” district spokeswoman Brenda Sewell said. The number fluctuates year to year, from 20 to 40, according to the district. For instance, visiting scholars who live on campus are entitled to have their chil-

dren educated in the public schools. “Our gift will support the Princeton public schools as they educate our children to lead lives of joy and purpose in a global society,” said Robbert Dijkgraaf, IAS director, in a news release Tuesday. Through a spokeswoman, the IAS refused to answer questions beyond the information contained in that release. The IAS had previously turned down the district’s overture for money, and would not say why it was cooperating this time around. Back in 2014, district representatives had approached the IAS but were rebuffed due to financial constraints. The district was looking for help, since it also has to educate children of visiting IAS scholars. For its part, the school district this week rejoiced at the arrangement, with Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane saying the contribution “will truly make a difference for our students and staff.” The $100,000 that the IAS is going to contribute annually would pay to educate about four students, in a high cost district that spent $25,910 per student in 2015/2016, according to data at the state Department of Education. One official defended the size of the contribution, relative to student costs in a district that had a budget in excess of $95 million last year. “It’s a meaningful contribution to our operating budget,” said school board member Dafna Kendal by phone Tuesday. Kendal is leading a board committee formed to find alternative sources of revenue.

Mercer County Police Academy graduates 18th class of officers Mercer County dignitaries and law enforcement officials from around the County gathered March 9 to celebrate the graduation of the 18th basic class of police officers from the Mercer Police Academy. An audience of several hundred family members, friends, and members of a number of law enforcement agencies saw the class of 45 cadets receive graduation certificates to officially make them police officers. The commencement was held inside the gymnasium at Mercer County Community College (MCCC). The graduates endured 22 weeks of training at the academy in all aspects of law enforcement and will now serve in many different Police Departments within Mercer County and elsewhere. The cadets are the 18th police class of the academy, which was created in October 2006 and provides a facility and resources to train law enforcement recruits in Mercer County. The academy is on the grounds of MCCC. Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes congratulated the graduates and assured them they would have the full support of their communities. “As you join the ranks of your fellow police officers wherever you will serve, do so with the full understanding that your commitment and sacrifice is appreciated by each and every one of us here,” he said. Mercer County Sheriff Jack Kemler asked the graduates to hold dearly the importance of returning home safely to their fami-

lies each night. “In return,” he said, “the communities you serve will ask you to continue your daily commitment to public safety and to remain steady in your role – no matter what obstacles or threats are placed in front of you.” Peter Buchanan, who will join the West Windsor Police Department and was chosen by his fellow graduates as class speaker, saluted his classmates for their perseverance during their time at the academy. “These weren’t an easy 22 weeks for us,” he said. “We sweated, we hurt and we were tested mentally and physically time and time again. We have failed, we have fallen and we’ve been knocked down. Yet the men and women of this class have always found a way to get back up and come together as a team.” Also addressing the class were Police Academy

Director Martin P. Masseroni; Prosecutor Angelo Onofri; Hopewell Township Police Chief Lance Maloney, president of the Mercer County Chiefs of Police Association; and Dr. Jianping Wang, MCCC president. Also in attendance were Freeholders Ann Cannon, John Cimino, Pasquale Colavita and Samuel T. Frisby Sr. During training, the class studied in disciplines such as use of force, firearms, vehicle pursuit, hostage negotiation, advanced crime scene processing, and domestic violence prevention, among others. Several cadets received awards at the graduation ceremony for their excellence in training. Michael Tilton, who is joining the Trenton Police Department, was chosen by his classmates to receive the Certificate of Merit awarded by the N.J. Police Training Commission to the best all-around graduate. Peter Buchanan, West Windsor Police Department, received the academic award; Kyle McGuire, Ewing Police Department, earned the firearms qualification award with a perfect score; Christian Crawford, West Windsor Police Department, received the physical training award; and Adam Joyce, Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, received the emergency vehicle operations award. The Mercer Police Academy consists of two classrooms specially designed for the needs of law enforcement training, and recruits use MCCC grounds, its library and its gymnasium for training purposes. The campus includes a padded training room that is used for “defensive tactics” classes. A shooting

range in Hopewell Township operated by the prosecutor’s office is part of the academy as well. The following is a list of the graduates and the law enforcement agency each will join: Bordentown Township Police Department: Michael Moloney. Bridgewater Police Department: Kristofer Grimm.

GUM DISEASE’S LINK TO BREAST CANCER It has already been established that gum disease is an inflammatory condition that can have an adverse impact on the body that goes well beyond the gums. When left unchecked, the bacteria that cause gum disease create deep pockets between the teeth and gums. When this happens, gums may bleed and the bacteria may enter the blood stream and travel to other parts of the body. According to a recent analysis of 200 women, 67 of whom had breast cancer, women with severe gum disease (periodontitis) had a three times greater risk of developing breast cancer. This study suggests that periodontitis can not only lead to tooth loss, but it may have even more potentially greater ill effects. A very big threat to dental health as well as overall health

is gum disease. We are diligent in our approach to making sure periodontal disease doesn’t destroy your smile. It is our mission to deliver the highest level of care, using the latest materials and always keeping our patients’ comfort and well-being in mind.

Mayor lauds immigrant-friendly approach By PHILIP SEAN CURRAN Staff Writer

Mayor Liz Lempert on Monday lauded the Oakland, California, mayor who tipped off members of her community about an impending federal immigration raid, yet she stopped short of saying whether she ever would do likewise. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mayor (Libby) Schaaf,” Mayor Lempert said during her press conference, when asked if she thought Schaaf had done the right thing. “I think a lot of what she does as mayor, across the board, is really innovative. And I think she’s a terrific mayor. I think she’s trying to do what’s right for her community.” But asked, hypothetically, if she would follow suit if she knew Immigration and Customs Enforcement planned to have a raid in

town, Mayor Lempert, a native of San Mateo, California, declined to be specific. “I don’t know how I would find that out,” she said of a raid. “I mean, I think one of the things we try to be really careful about is to not incite fear and to make sure that the information that we’re disseminating is accurate and true.” Princeton, home to large numbers of illegal immigrants, primarily from Central America who live in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, has found itself on the front lines of the immigration debate. As a sanctuary city, the town follows a policy of limited cooperation between local police and ICE, meaning police do not honor civil immigration detainers, or holds, ICE places on illegal aliens. The municipal government has been

squarely at odds with the Trump administration. In its latest steps, the council on Monday passed resolutions in favor of illegal immigrants getting state driver’s licenses and signed onto a friend of the court brief against a Trump administration travel ban. The town previously weighed in on the driver’s license issue, in 2015, said one official. “So it wasn’t a new position to take,” Councilwoman Heather H. Howard said Wednesday. “But we wanted to reaffirm our support for the issue now that there’s a new administration in Trenton and that there’s much greater likelihood of it happening.” In the race for Princeton Council, one candidate, Michelle Pirone Lambros, a Democrat, said recently that she would feel comfortable making an alert ahead of an ICE raid.

“I feel very, very strongly that it’s important for all of our residents to have trust in the government and know that it’s important, for us, that they feel safe, that they can come to the police if they’re having a problem, if they’re victims of a crime,” Mayor Lempert said, “and that they feel safe sending their kids to school, going to work and everything else.” This week, in California touring prototypes for his proposed border wall, President Donald Trump again criticized sanctuary cities. He said criminals “take refuge” in them and urged Congress, in an upcoming budget bill, to fund the wall and “prohibit grants to sanctuary jurisdictions that threaten the security of our country and the people of our country.” Last November, Mayor Lempert joined in and

spoke at a local rally supporting a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants brought to the country when they were young. She touched on how the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is in limbo. “And the fact is is that the immigration system, as it stands right now with DACA and with temporary protected status in the balance, people not knowing what their future is going to be, it creates problems at the local level for mayors all across the country and for police departments all across the country and relationships that we’re trying to build with residents,” Mayor Lempert said. “So it’s like there’s no perfect solution. And you can go and point your fingers at (Mayor Schaaf) and say she did the wrong thing. But I think that’s putting the

blame in totally the wrong spot. I think she’s trying to advocate for her community, and I applaud her for that.” Mayor Lempert was unaware of the lawsuit the Justice Department brought against California Gov. Jerry Brown, Attorney General Xavier Becerra and the state of California over a series of sanctuary state laws prohibiting local law enforcement and private employers from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. “A refusal to apprehend and deport those, especially the criminal element, effectively rejects all immigration law and creates an open borders system,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a speech March 7 announcing the suit. “Open borders is a radical, irrational idea that cannot be accepted.”

Mayor urges changes to energy infrastructure in wake of storms By PHILIP SEAN CURRAN Staff Writer

Mayor Liz Lempert on Monday argued for burying power lines and called for the state’s regulatory agency to get involved, in a move to avoid the outages her community had experienced during back-to-back nor’easters this month. Swaths of town lost power during both storms in consecutive weeks. Johnson Park Elementary School was unable to open March 9 because of an outage that led the district to send students to other public schools in town that day. PSE&G worked to re-

store power to its customers, but Mayor Lempert raised the question of why residents continue to lose their power. She pinned the blame on tree limbs falling on overhead wires. She said the “biggest problem is the infrastructure and the fact that we have all of these lines above ground is shocking.” “Long term, I believe we need to make an investment to bury them, especially in critical areas,” she said. “It could be that it doesn’t make sense on every single street, but that there are some key areas

where if they go down, then whole swaths of town go out.” Yet the cost of burying wires falls on the backs of homeowners, a pricey proposition. “We need to restructure how the financing is done, because, right now, it has to be paid by the adjacent homeowner and it’s not working,” she said. “And so there’s no investment in the infrastructure.” Mayor Lempert looked to the state to get involved. She said the state Board of Public Utilities “needs to develop a statewide policy

Three approaches to environmental and social needs Driving through Mercer County’s farmland is a visually pleasant and relaxing respite from our busy, modern lives. But don’t be fooled; there is a lot going on within and among many of those farms and their associations. Perhaps foremost in its reach into many aspects of modern farming is NOFA-NJ, (Northeast Organic Farming Association – New Jersey,) a statewide organization with more than 80 certified organic farms, and 12 in the Princeton area. It serves as a guide to hundreds of other farms not yet certified, and among its functions and goals are helping to provide information to make the state’s organic farms economically viable and environmentally sustainable. More specifically that means sharing information about what works, sharing practices that help preserve and improve the health and productivity of the soil. It means helping farmers find markets and re-

duce transportation costs and emissions. It means informing the public about the benefits of new, or less widely known foods. It means helping farmers and all residents reduce food waste, in part by consuming less, but also by composting and returning nutrients to the soil, and by channeling extra food to residents who can benefit from healthy or specific diets. Connected to this effort is The Suppers Programs in Princeton, a local organization that reaches out to individuals who could benefit from dietary improvements and education, as well as social connection and support. (Among those benefiting are: individuals suffering from type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac and other diseases, and a lack of social connection.) Members gather in local homes to share whole foods’ recipes, converse about the benefits of improved diets, and to actually cook beneficial dishes.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Beyond the above-mentioned benefits, NOFA-NJ also contributed to Princeton’s application to, and winning (along with 35 other cities of 30,000-and-above residents,) an initial $100,000 from the Bloomberg Mayors’ Competition. The purpose of this competition is first to encourage cities to identify and describe their community challenges and then present ideas to address them. The cities’ applications required detailing their vision, the expected impact, their implementation plans, and the transferability of those plans. A final selection from these 35 will present several winners with large awards to further develop and disseminate their ideas. Energized by its executive director, Adrian Hyde, NOFA-NJ has looked additionally at the necessary, organic diversification of crops and land, which requires preparing farms and farmers to make the changes. But also needed is the managing of farm jobs and employees,

as the current trend is an aging farming population. It will be of mutual benefit if younger men and women are introduced to the need for new farmers and the benefits of a farming life. The Cherry Valley Cooperative Farm is an encouraging example of what young farmers can do to embrace the latest farming methods as well as expanding the very notion of what a farm can do, and be. As most residents know, Princeton is fortunate in the wide array of thoughtful, knowledgeable, concerned residents in the area. The presence of both Princeton University and nearby Rutgers University means that a number of people around Central New Jersey are researching and formulating new approaches to our environments. For many, NOFA-NJ is the unifying and innovating organization essential to pulling the many strands of community, modern farming, and stewardship of the land together.

It’s beautiful: Grab a friend and go outside! It’s a beautiful day and you’ve got some free time. Will you spend it outdoors in nature or hanging out with your friends? Don’t answer – it’s a trick question! You don’t have to choose. It turns out that being social is one of the best ways to enjoy nature. A recent study, “The Nature of Americans,” found that although most folks say nature is a top interest, they don’t actually spend much time outdoors. The majority of adults surveyed averaged five or fewer hours a week outside, or less than an hour a day. “Time spent on computers and TV towers over time spent outdoors,” said David Case, the main author of the study and the keynote speaker at the New Jersey Land Conservation Rally on March 2 in New Brunswick. But there’s hope! The best way to attract more people outside, according to Case, is to make nature experiences social.

“Adults don’t like being in nature by themselves,” he said. “When adults talk about their experiences in nature, their memorable moments nearly always involve other people.” According to Case, most people don’t need to be sold on the value of nature. They already enjoy nature and recognize its benefits. “It’s fundamental to human health and well-being,” he said. So should you organize a bike ride with your kids or a bird-watching walk with friends? Yes and yes! But don’t sit home on your couch if friends and family aren’t available. New Jersey has tons of outdoor clubs, meetups and organized nature events. Joining these groups is a great way to both expand your social circle and enjoy the benefits of spending time in nature. Here are some suggestions: • Join a ranger or naturalist guided walk at a park or nature preserve near you. County parks often provide full calendars of outdoor events, including hikes, kayak paddles, bike rides, nature walks, horseback trail rides and more. • Traveling outside your area? Try a state park. Hardly a day goes by when

there isn’t something fun and interesting happening at one of New Jersey’s state parks, forests and recreation areas. For a calendar of events at state parks and forests, go towww.state.nj.us/dep/parksandfo rests/calendar/index.html. • Join clubs and meetup groups with a focus on the outdoors. Whether you’re young or old, a novice hiker or an experienced backpacker, there’s one for you. The granddaddy of all hiking clubs is the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), which offers dozens of hikes every month in New Jersey and surrounding areas. The Outdoor Club of South Jersey just celebrated its 50th anniversary, and offers bicycling, hiking, canoeing/kayaking, camping, backpacking and cross-country skiing. In northern New Jersey, a club called the Tristate Ramblers offers a hike nearly every day – even on weekdays, when many outdoor clubs are idle. • Try specialized groups, like Adventures for Women, the New Jersey Young Professionals and the NJ 1K Club, a “peakbagging” club that climbs all of New Jersey’s mountains higher than 1,000 feet. • If you are sitting too much at work, take a “walking meeting” outside with colleagues. On a walking meeting last week,

we at New Jersey Conservation Foundation were thrilled to see a large black bear. Talk about getting the creative juices flowing! For a list of many of New Jersey’s hiking and outdoor clubs, go to www.njhiking.com/hiking-clubs-nj/. To find additional clubs, go to meetup.com, and enter your zip code to find groups for hikes, dog walks, bike rides, mountain climbing, skiing, sailing and more. To read “The Nature of Americans” and see more recommendations for getting people outdoors, go to https://natureofamericans.org. The study is based on interviews and surveys of more than 10,000 adults and children, and offers interesting insights into their views of nature, what draws them outside, and what barriers keep them indoors. And for more information on New Jersey’s preserved lands – including events to get people outdoors and into nature – visit the New Jersey Conservation Foundation website or contact me at info@njconservation.org.

Walk out Continued from Page 1A the opportunity to read, reflect or study independently. “Because of how often these shooting have been happening, I feel like we’re at a point where something more has to be done, and I’m interested in starting to become a part of that solution,” said Talia Fiester, president of PHS Democrats in Action, the studentgroup that sponsored the event. Two weeks ago, Fiester along with fellow student organizers May Kotsen and Ruth Schultz began working with PHS Principal Gary Snyder, teachers and other administrators to plan the day’s events. They invited Principal Snyder to the initial interest meeting attended by 50 to 60 students, where they first proposed the possibility of extending the event by an hour. “We were looking at ways to make a bigger impact because a lot of people

University students join the call for gun control had voiced concerns that just the act of stepping outside the school wouldn’t really do much,” Fiester said. Wednesday afternoon, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker addressed interested students about gun control. Therapy dogs were available for students after school. The school district was fully supportive of students’ participation in the walkout. In a letter sent to parents, Superintendent of Schools Steve Cochrane wrote, “Preparing students to be engaged, active, and thoughtful citizens is arguably one of the most important functions of a public school.” “The safety of students must be prioritized and not politicized. We are proud of our students, and the students across the nation, who are taking action and setting an example for the rest of us to follow,” read the statement. While students are grateful for the administration’s support, some stu-

the highly organized nature of the demonstration. “We disagree that the school patronized this walkout. They delineated specific free periods, thereby nullifying what a walkout really is,” said student Sylvie Tuder. “This was meant to cause disruption, but right now, [students] are getting free periods,” said student Madison Richmond. Tuder also emphasized the need to address mental illness. “There is an issue of mental illness. We’ve had two suicides. And our school has not done anything. It’s inextricably tied with gun violence. The school has brought therapy dogs. That does nothing,” Tuder said. “You’re not supposed to normalize a day that’s supposed to be a protest,” said stduent Isabella Phillips At John Witherspoon Middle School, students also participated in a walkout.

Students at Princeton University called for gun control legislation during a rally held on Wednesday afternoon in front of the Frist Student Center, where they chanted “We call BS!” and “Enough is enough!” The rally began with a moment of silence in commemoration of victims and those affected by gun violence. Speakers included student activists and New Jersey Assemblyman Roy Freiman. “The second amendment has been misinterpreted continuously throughout history,” said Sarah Sakha, a senior at Princeton and one of the organizers of the event. “The right to bear arms does not trump the right to life.” “We are here because we know things have to change,” Sakha said. “We are here in solidarity with the 2,800-plus schools that have staged walkouts today throughout the country, demanding change.” Among

those was Princeton High School, which staged a walkout in conjunction with other high schools across the country Wednesday morning. “This is our political moment,” said Nicholas Wu, a senior and organizer of the event. “Thoughts and prayers from our elected officials are no longer enough.” Wu recounted his experience losing a middle school classmate to gun violence in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. “It’s up to us to make sure that we keep those in power accountable,” Wu said. In his speech, Assemblyman Freiman assured students that the school shooting that happened in Florida last month could not happen in New Jersey, thanks to more restrictive gun regulations in the state. “But that does not mean that we cannot get better and stronger,” he said. He called on students to continue their activism. “It was students who ended the Vietnam War. It was students who brought

said Princeton “had an opportunity to resolve this matter without the need for a trial and chose to walk away from an agreement that they had agreed to in principle with us.” Jacobson was in a position to rule on the town’s requirement after the state Supreme Court, in 2015, made trial courts responsible for making sure towns meet their constitutional requirements to provide affordable housing opportunities, the so-called “fair share,” to low and moderate income people. The

state Council on Affordable Housing, a regulatory body created by the state Legislature in 1985, had been unable to establish regulations for more than 15 years, so the high court flexed its muscles over land-use decisions in the state as it has since its original Mount Laurel affordable housing case back in 1975. Last year, the judge had a 40-day-long-trial that involved competing experts for both sides. Her decision had been expected for months. “We are glad that a de-

cision has been reached so that we can focus our time and dollars into creating opportunities for more affordable housing,” said the Lempert-Crumiller statement. “Princeton has long been committed to building affordable housing and this commitment shows in the fact that we have already made significant progress in meeting the obligation set by the court through projects such as Avalon Bay, Merwick Stanworth and others.” “We’re satisfied that the court’s determination

down the Berlin Wall. And it will be students that bring common sense gun control throughout the United States,” Freiman said. Organizers called for continued involvement through the upcoming elections, and participating in future rallies and marches. These include the March For Our Lives, a march to end gun violence that will take place in Washington, D.C. and other cities across the country on March 24. The university rally was planned following the mass shooting in Marjory Stoneman Souglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The rally was organized and led by the Princeton Advocates for Justice, a coalition of student groups that was formed following the 2016 elections. The Princeton Advocates for Justice have organized past events and rallies in support of immigrants and against hate speech, among other causes. The rally was cosponsored by numerous organizations of both undergraduate and graduate students.

of Princeton’s obligation affirms the significant need we see for more housing opportunities in Princeton that are affordable,” said Edward Truscelli, executive director of Princeton Community Housing, a provider of affordable housing in town. “We stand ready to work together with the community and the municipality to help create these housing opportunities, just as we have during our 51 year history of creating and managing affordable homes in Princeton.”

Housing Continued from Page 1A The statement would suggest the town will not appeal the ruling, one that was hailed by the advocacy group that had fought Princeton in court. “I think, though, that like what the court said (Thursday) was a resounding message that New Jersey’s housing affordability crisis exists, it’s real and that towns that aren’t going to step up to the plate and will attempt to resist that are going to be forced into compliance, quiet hon-

estly, and that the time for delay is over,” said Anthony Campisi, a spokesman for the Fair Share Housing Center. “I think Princeton should hear this message loud and clear.” The two sides had been in settlement talks last year, but those fizzled. Talks revolved around Princeton being responsible for 888 units, which is more than what the judge wound up setting as its requirement. Campisi said the town “walked away” from that settlement agreement. He

Princeton Democrats head into big vetting process By PHILIP SEAN CURRAN Staff Writer

The seven Democrats running for Princeton Council head into an intraparty vetting process that begins this weekend, in what could decide who sits on the governing body in January. Eve Niedergang, Myrtha Jasmin, Adam Bierman, Dwaine Williamson, Michelle Pirone Lambros, Surinder Sharma and Alvin McGowan have never held government office before; some of them are familiar to the political scene in town, others are not.

They first go before the Princeton Community Democratic Organization on Sunday to seek the endorsement of the party club. Then on Monday, they appear before the local Democratic municipal committee, who will recommend to Mercer County Democratic Chairwoman and state Assemblywoman (D-15) Verlina ReynoldsJackson the preferred order in which party leaders want the candidates to appear on the ballot for the June primary. Getting preferred ballot placement is seen as

critical toward winning the primary, which serves as the defacto general election in Princeton given the edge Democrats have over Republicans in registered voters. Democrats outnumber Republicans by 10,772 to 2,149, according to election data. Overall, there are 19,920 voters in town. The field of candidates this year is larger than usual. Incumbents Lance Liverman and Heather H. Howard declined to run for re-election, so the door has swung open for two

newcomers. Candidates are looking forward to this weekend, their first big test, of the budding campaign. “I’m excited, actually,” Jasmin said by phone Wednesday in giving herself a 50/50 chance of getting the endorsement Sunday. “I’ve worked really hard over the last few weeks,” Niedergang said. “I have reached out to so many people and tried to encourage people to support me.” “I’m feeling very confident, very confident,” Williams said. “I’m feeling a whole lot of support. I feel

I have a lot to contribute to Princeton.” He touted his experience including as a planning board member, and said he enters the PCDO vote as one of the favorites to get the endorsement. The vote Sunday is in large measure a test of candidates getting their supporters out to vote for them. Party chairwoman Scotia MacRae on Wednesday called the PCDO vote “kind of a popularity contest.” In her winning run for mayor in 2012, then-Township Committeewoman Liz

Lempert marshaled support from the parent community at Littlebrook Elementary School, where her daughters attended, to win the PCDO endorsement. It is not clear what part race or gender might play in this year’s race. The council is losing a female member with Howard retiring, while Liverman is the only black member of the council. But there are three black candidates — Jasmin, Williamson and McGowen — running. As for the Republicans, so far only Lisa Wu is running.

Lawrence students say ‘never again’ to gun violence By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

The enormity of the 17 lives lost in last month’s mass school shooting in Florida did not hit Emma Paxton until she, along with hundreds of her schoolmates, walked around the Lawrence High School track for 17 minutes Wednesday morning. “You have 17 people who are dead. You don’t (realize) how much ’17’ is. It doesn’t hit you until you are walking around the track for 17 minutes,” Emma said. “As I was walking around the track, I was thinking, ‘Never again.

Freeholders Colavita and Cannon agreed there is no simple solution. “It’s like a big knot that has to be pulled apart,” Cannon said. The two Freeholders said that the minimum age to buy a gun should be raised from 18 years old to 21 years old - a measure that can only be passed by the state Legislature. Chief of Police Mark Ubry said the Lawrence Township Police Department works closely with the school district, and holds an annual “active shooter” drill in the school so police

officers can become more familiar with its layout. There are security measures in place, such as locked doors in the schools and cameras that can monitor the schools in “real time,” if necessary, Chief Ubry said. One of the most important pieces, however, is paying attention to warning signs that someone may do something to harm others, Chief Ubry said. He urged the students to contact administrators or the Police Department if they see something that makes them uncomfortable. “Our goal is to make you feel safe in school and make a safe learning environment,” Chief Ubry said.

Longtime volunteer EMT John Connacher honored By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

When John Connacher moved from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Montgomery Township in 1982, signing up to volunteer as an emergency medical technician with the Montgomery Emergency Medical Service was one of the last things on his mind. Connacher had some exposure to volunteer EMTs through the BRAVO Volunteer Ambulance service in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, where he grew up. If someone needed help in a hurry, the volunteer squad was the one to call. Soon after Connacher moved to Montgomery

Township, MEMS volunteers responded to a call at his home. He was grateful for the volunteers’ help, and that’s when it clicked - maybe he should join MEMS at some point to return the favor. “It all came back to me,” Connacher said, recalling his contact with the Brooklyn volunteer EMTs. Connacher joined MEMS in 1993, as his way of giving back to the Montgomery Township community for all that he had received as a resident. Now, 25 years and 3,700 calls later, Montgomery Township Committee acknowledged Connacher’s volunteer service with

a proclamation. “Thank you for all of your service. That’s amazing - 3,700 calls,” Deputy Mayor Christine Madrid

said after she completed reading the resolution. “You are a true gem for volunteering,” added Township Committeeman

Ed Trzaska. Over the past quartercentury, Connacher has served MEMS as president, vice president, CPR instructor, radio officer and on the Membership and Fundraising Committee. Connacher created the first MEMS website in 1996, and MEMS’ Facebook page in 2011. He also re-established the community blood drives at MEMS, according to the resolution. Connacher said that when he joined MEMS in 1993, “I didn’t know what to expect. I am in awe of the dedication of the members. Although the faces change, I am still in awe of the dedication (of the vol-

unteer members).” “This is a dedicated, professional organization and it is something that I wanted to be a part of,” he said. “I enjoy helping other people. One thing I think that is great about MEMS is its diverse membership - from high school students to senior citizens.” Connacher pointed out it is not necessary to have a medical background to volunteer with MEMS. Members have assorted backgrounds - from science and medicine, to realtors and attorneys. MEMS pays for volunteers to take the course to become an emergency medical technician.

Former principal to be honored by Riverside Elementary School By PHILIP SEAN CURRAN Staff Writer

A driveway in front of Riverside Elementary School will be named for late Principal Bill Cirullo, said a school official last week.

The intent is for a street sign to be in place before an event April 21 that the school parent-teacher organization is having to honor him, said Princeton School District board member Dafna Kendal by phone. It will

be called the “William D. Cirullo Way,” said Kendal, who sits on a committee looking to honor the longtime administrator. “So the school board appointed the committee,” she said, “and I think this is

the direction the committee is moving in. I think everyone’s in agreement that we want to move ahead with honoring Bill.” The district is looking to install a plaque, at the school, in his memory as

well, she said. But this falls short of naming the school after him, something that Cirullo’s former colleagues had advocated for but district officials resisted. Cirullo, 67, died Feb.15, 2016. He had been raised in

Princeton, attended college in Tennessee and started working for the school district in 1970. The bulk of his tenure was as the principal of Riverside for 30 years. He left behind $10,000 for the PTO of the school.

Evelyn Regina (nee Reiber) Krosnick

David G. Rahr, 79

Evelyn Regina (nee Reiber) Krosnick passed away peacefully on March 3rd. Evelyn was born on March 7, 1924, the daughter of Jonah and Rose Reiber and sister of Frances (Link) and Robert. Evelyn always said that she discovered music as a child, and this passion defined her life. After Philadelphia High School for Girls she graduated from Temple University where she majored in voice and studied privately with Marion Freschl, of the Curtis Institute and the Juilliard School, and Martin Rich of the Metropolitan Opera. While at Temple, Evelyn met a handsome young premedical student, Arthur Krosnick, and began a partnership of love that lasted nearly seventy years. They were married on December 31, 1945. Arthur at that time was an ensign in the United States Navy and Evelyn took a train from Philadelphia to California, where they were wed. His brief shore leave over, Arthur returned to sea and Evelyn took the four day train ride back across country to Philadelphia. After he returned home, they were never parted again until Arthur passed away in 2012. Living in Philadelphia, Arthur began medical school and Evelyn taught music, first in the Philadelphia public schools, and later in Lower Makefield Township. She worked to incorporate music and the arts into the basic studies of the schools’ curriculum and later was a pioneer in utilizing radio and the then-new medium of television in the musical education of young people. A few years later, Evelyn began a second career as an interior designer, studying at the Philadelphia College of Art. She worked as a free lance designer with Arlyn Designs for many years, specializing in residential design. Evelyn and Arthur were blessed with two children, Jon Alexander and Jody Arlyn, both whom were introduced by Evelyn to the joys of music. As they grew older – Jon became a percussionist and Jody a flutist – both played with the Mercer County Symphonic Orchestra, where Evelyn served as personnel manager. Evelyn, serving as General Manager and later as Executive Director, guided the orchestra as it took up residence in the Lawrenceville School and became the Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra. Through the GPYO, Evelyn opened the world of music to generations of young people in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. She remained active with the GPYO until 2007 when she and Arthur moved to Scottsdale.

David G. Rahr of Old Saybrook, CT died peacefully on March 9, 2018. He was 79. Mr. Rahr was born in 1938 to Gordon J. Rahr and Virginia (Crary) Rahr in Oak Park, Illinois and was raised in nearby River Forest. He graduated from Oak ParkRiver Forest High School and matriculated at Princeton University in 1956. As an undergraduate, he was active in a variety of extra-curricular activities including serving as Director of the Princeton Summer Camp (now the Princeton-Blairstown Center) of which he was a Life Trustee. He graduated with honors from Princeton in June 1960 and worked for the University for the next 22 years with the exception of six months active service with the NJ National Guard and a year in the private sector. He served successively as an Admission Officer, the Assistant Secretary of the University and as Secretary, then Director of the Alumni Council overseeing Princeton’s alumni relations efforts. In 1982, Rahr was named Director of Development at Middlebury College in Vermont with responsibility for fundraising, alumni relations and public affairs. After four years at the College, Rahr was asked by the founding directors of The Vermont Community Foundation to lead the formation of a state-wide charitable fund. The VCF began in December of 1986 with essentially no permanent capital and modest operating funding. Rahr, at first the only full-time employee of the Foundation, guided its establishment and growth to the point when at his retirement in 2003 its permanent assets were nearly $100 million with annual grants of over $12 million. As a public charity, the VCF invests and manages hundreds of component funds and helps fund holders (primarily individuals and families) accomplish their charitable objectives in an efficient, collaborative and leveraged way while enjoying the economies of scale that come with being part of a state-wide charitable fund. Today, the VCF is the largest foundation in Vermont with assets of $250 million and grants of over $16 million. More important than its size is the impact it and its partners are having on the growth of philanthropy to address the needs of the people and communities of Vermont. Rahr retired in 2003 and a year later moved from Cornwall, Vermont to Old Lyme, Connecticut, then recently to Old Saybrook. He continued to serve on the boards of several VCF affiliates and consulted with non-profit organizations in Vermont and elsewhere. He was a member of the Board of the Old Lyme-Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library for several years.

Arthur’s career in medicine as a diabetologist expanded as he became one of the world leaders in the treatment of this malady. Over the course of their lives, Arthur and Evelyn worked tirelessly to end the scourge of diabetes in children and to improve the quality of life for all diabetics. Many of the revolutionary improvements in care over the last half century are direct results of Arthur’s work.

Mr. Rahr is survived by his wife of 55 years, Susan (nee Vetter) and their two children: Tim, his wife Sarah Roman, and their three sons, Stephen, Tom and Owen of New Haven, Connecticut; and, daughter Amy of Park City, Utah. He was predeceased by his brother, Sumner. Gifts in his memory can be made to The Vermont Community Foundation, Princeton University and the Old Lyme Library.

In the 1960’s, Evelyn and Arthur became friends with George Nakashima, the dean of the American Crafts Movement, and over the next thirty years as patrons and collaborators inspired George to develop his singular vision. The collection they built is now housed in museums around the world.

There will be a celebration of David’s life at 2:00 on April the 28th at The First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, Connecticut

In 2005, Arthur and Evelyn fulfilled their lifelong dream of moving to Arizona where their lives continued to be filled with music and art. They were patrons of the Heard Museum and Arizona State University as well as encoraging many musicians, including the string quartet, Tetris. Evelyn recently completed her autobiography, “A Beautiful Life Lived in Harmony,” a testament to the world she built with her beloved Arthur. Both of her children’s lives were defined by music as well. Jon, now a professor ofProfessor of Communication, Political Science, and Psychology at Stanford, plays jazz internationally with his band, “Charged Particles.” Jody graduated from the Juilliard School and the Yale School of Music before beginning her career as a reconstructive plastic surgeon. Evelyn is survived by Jon and his wife, Cathy, of Stanford, California and their daughter, Alexandra, (New York, NY), and by Jody and her husband, Blake, of Heriot Bay, BC and their children, Carly (Washington, DC), Jyles (Winston-Salem, NC), and Clarence (New Haven, CT). The family requests that memorials be sent to the Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra (GPYO.org) or the American Diabetes Association.

William (“Bill”) Roy Trego, 87 William (“Bill”) Roy Trego, 87, a resident of Concord, Massachusetts, passed away on Sunday, March 11, 2018 from multiple health issues. Born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on June 22, 1930, he was the only child of the late John and Almeda (Von Dreele) Trego. Bill was predeceased by his devoted wife, Patricia Mae (Yordy) Trego. They were high school sweethearts and enjoyed sixty-four years of marriage. Bill and Patty spent the first year of their marriage living in Princeton, NJ, while Bill finished his Masters degree at Westminster Choir College. After the completion of school, they set off to build their new life in El Dorado, Arkansas, where Bill got his first teaching job. During their 11 years in Eldorado, they had their only child, Kimberlie (Trego) Sachs and Bill totally found his calling teaching young people to sing. Bill and Patty spent the majority of their lives together in West Windsor, New Jersey, where Bill taught choral music at Princeton High School for 28 years and at Princeton University for 20 years. Bill taught his ‘kids’ to produce beautiful music that they could be proud of, but he taught them so much more in addition. For countless students he filled in as a father-figure, life coach, mentor and friend. He truly cared for each and every one and was able to connect with them using his positive, loving outlook and his extraordinary sense of humor. Bill collaborated with his Associate Director Nancianne Parrella, to build an award winning choir program at Princeton High School that received and accepted invitations to perform throughout North America and Europe. Past students, some in their seventies, still seek Bill out and they chronicle their memories on a Facebook page titled, “We love William Trego”. In retirement, Bill and Patty moved to Carlisle, Massachusetts to be near Kimberlie and her husband Bruce Sachs.

Obituaries

Connie Hazelwood Poor Connie Hazelwood Poor passed away on March 2, 2018, at her home in Princeton, New Jersey. She was born on July 27, 1953, to Roland and Mable (Townsend) Hazelwood in Fayetteville, Tennessee, where she grew up before moving to Phenix City, Alabama, in 1962. She leaves behind her devoted husband of fortyfour years, H. Vincent Poor. They met as students at Central High School in Phenix City, where they began their lifelong partnership in 1969 and were married in 1973. Connie is also survived by their daughters, Kristin Poor of Brooklyn, New York, and Lauren Poor of Los Angeles, California, and by her parents in Athens, Alabama, and younger sister, Melinda Kerr of Huntsville, Alabama. Connie studied at the Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing in Birmingham, Alabama, and at the University of Illinois in Urbana. She began her long and varied nursing career at the Lee County Hospital in Opelika, Alabama, in 1973, and worked subsequently at the Princeton Medical Center, Carle Clinic in Urbana, and at HiTops in Princeton. She spent much of her career as a nurse educator, work driven by her commitment to social justice. After her retirement from nursing, she became a docent at the Princeton University Art Museum, an avocation that she found to be immensely rewarding. A long-time Princeton resident, she was generous with her time, volunteering at WomanSpace, the Mercer County Medical Reserve Corps, the Princeton Fete, the Present Day Club, the Parent-Teacher Organizations of the John Witherspoon School and Princeton High School, and as a Board Member of HiTops and the Princeton Adult School, among others. One year, she convinced friends to join her in biking 300 miles in three days for the AIDS Ride from Boston to New York. Connie was deeply loving, compassionate, and fiercely liberal. Gracious and warm, her presence would light up any room she entered. Those who met her often commented on her unreserved and radiant smile, her glorious red hair, and lovely, ever-so-slight Southern accent. She adored art in all its forms, a passion that she in turn inspired in her daughters. She was an avid photographer, had a keenly observant eye for nature’s intricate details, and was known to stop and marvel at every flower, fern, and bird on her daily walks in the woods. With her husband Vince, she enthusiastically traveled the world. She never forgot her roots, most recently traveling back to Alabama for her father’s 90th birthday celebration, which she gracefully organized even in illness. She was a master gift-giver and maker, knitting warm wares of all kinds for loved ones and hosting knitting circles for worthy causes. She provided a deep sense of comfort to all the people, plants, and animals in her world. Beloved wife, partner, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, she was a calm and gentle presence, whose joy in life’s beauty was contagious. This remarkable optimism is just one of many gifts she has left behind. After being diagnosed with cancer in October 2017, Connie was lovingly cared for by her family and many friends. In her final days, she was at home, surrounded by loved ones and song, still smiling and making all those around her feel at peace. Among her last words were, “How beautiful. You’re all so beautiful.” In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Princeton University Art Museum. A memorial service is being planned for the spring.

WHAT’S UP

RESULTS

Princeton lacrosse

The Princeton University men’s lacrosse team improved to 3-2 on the season with a 15-14 overtime victory over Rutgers last Saturday in Princeton. The Tigers scored the final four goals of regulation to send the game into overtime, where Austin Sims scored his fifth goal of the game to give Princeton the triumph. Sims had tied the game on a goal with 49 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Michael Sowers had three goals and six assists for the Tigers, who will be the host to Penn on Saturday at 4 p.m. in their Ivy League opener. The Princeton women fell to 3-2 on the season with a 13-7 loss at Loyola of Maryland last Saturday. Kyla Sears and Kathryn Hallett scored two goals apiece in the loss for the Tigers, who are back in action on Monday when they play at Penn State.

PROS

Mike Ford

The Hun School and Princeton University graduate is batting .162 with six hits in 37 at-bats this spring for the Seattle Mariners. Ford, who was selected by the Mariners in the Rule 5 Draft during the off-season, is looking to make the team’s Major League roster out of spring training. Ford, a Montgomery native, has one home run and seven runs batted in this spring. A year ago, playing at the AA and AAA levels for the New York Yankees, Ford batted a combined .270 with 20 home runs and 86 runs batted in.

COLLEGE Jessica Lee

The Montgomery High graduate completed her indoor track and field season at Quinnipiac University by defending her championship titles in the 60-meter hurdles at the NEICAA, MAAC and ECAC Championship meets, while also winning the 60 meters and 200 meters at the MAAC Championship meet. At the ECAC meet, Lee, senior, won by a full twotenths of a second over the rest of the competition, crossing the line in just 8.25 seconds. The time was just behind her school-record setting performance of 8.18, which was set at the MAAC championships. The Bobcats finished 11th as a team at the ECAC meet and second at the MAAC championships.

Alex Mumme

The Hun School graduate, a sophomore at Ursinus College, was named the Centennial Conference Player of the Week in baseball after batting .481 (13-for-27) with a home run and nine RBI during a seven-game swing through California to open the season. Mumme scored five runs, stole a base, and registered a 1.237 OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage). Mumme, a Montgomery resident, broke the school record for the Pennsylvania college with 20 doubles a year ago. The Bears are 1-6 on the season and scheduled to play at Penn State-Berks on Saturday and Sunday.

The Princeton University women’s basketball team followed up its regular season title in the Ivy League by winning the conference tournament last weekend in Philadelphia. The Tigers will meet Maryland today in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

PU women’s hoops back in NCAA tourney By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Reaching the NCAA tournament has become a commonplace for the Princeton University women’s basketball team. So much so, that when the Tigers don’t make the tournament, it’s hard to remember how long it’s been since their last appearance. “It’s only one year that we weren’t in it, but it feels like a long time,” Princeton coach Courtney Banghart said Monday night. “It’s funny. We’ve been in the tournament seven of the last nine years and I look at it and say every year is different. It’s so hard to get there. To know that these guys have earned a very coveted spot in the biggest athletic event for women means a lot.” Princeton won the regular season Ivy League title, but that didn’t guarantee the Tigers a spot in the NCAA tournament field. They still needed to win last weekend’s Ivy League tournament, which they did in convincing style with victories over Yale and Penn at the Palestra in Philadelphia. Princeton earned a No. 12 seed for the NCAA tournament and will face fifth-seeded Maryland in the opening round of the Kansas City Regional. The teams will meet today at 12 p.m. at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C. The winner will face either fourth-seeded North Carolina State or 13th-seeded Elon in the second round on Sunday. The winner of the second round will advance to the Regional that starts March 23 in Kansas City.

“It’s so great to know that we were Ivy champs,” said Banghart, whose team is 24-5 on the season. “But that doesn’t really give us much the way the current system is. We had to go into the weekend and earn this bid. The way we did it. We were totally locked in. Before each game when we left the locker room I asked them, ‘Who are the champs.’ And they said ‘we are.’ So I said go play like it and we really did.” Princeton topped Yale, 78-57, in the opening round before routing Penn, 63-34, in the final. Abby Meyers finished with 18 points, while Bella Alaire collected eight points and 17 rebounds in the victory over the Quakers. In the victory over Yale, Alarie recorded 17 points and 17 rebounds, while Leslie Robinson finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds. A year ago the Tigers failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament. This year they are back and get a chance to play Maryland, a team Princeton lost to in the second round of the 2015 tournament. That was Princeton’s only loss in a 31-1 season. “We’re real excited,” said Robinson, a senior who was a freshman on the team that lost to Maryland. “We played them freshman year when we went 300. So it will be fun to play them again. I feel like we’ll have a really good chance against them. We’re not on their home court. “This is something we have been striving for since last spring when we didn’t have as much success as we wanted. This is what we have building towards since last spring, summer and fall up to now. We’re super happy to

be here.” Banghart, who last led the Tigers to the NCAA tournament in 2016 when they lost in the opening round to West Virginia, doesn’t hesitate when asked what makes this team special. “The seniors,” Banghart said. “This is Leslie Robinson’s team. She is the heart and soul of everything we do. She is our barometer. And then you have such an infusion of talent that have made an impact that are freshmen and sophomores that can really change a game. You have (seniors) Kenya (Holland) and Tia (Weledji) who are just great in their roles. I will say our seniors have earned it.” Princeton will face Maryland on a neutral floor in Raleigh, which is something that Banghart takes pride in. Maryland enters the game against Princeton with a 25-7 record. “I just love that our team has earned the right to not have to play on another team’s home floor.,” she said. “There are 16 teams that play on their home court and the fact that we’re one of the teams that doesn’t have to play one of those teams says a lot about where we are and respect we have. “I knew we would get a good team. Maryland is not quite as big as they were when we played them the last time. But they were second in the Big Ten and they’re a good team. I love any matchup where my guys are playing well. Because if my guys are playing well we’re going to be a tough out.” The formula for a Princeton wins is simple. If they play like

they did last weekend, especially Alaire, the Ivy League Player of the Year as a sophomore, an upset could be in the making. “If Bella plays like the star she is, and if our bench continues to outperform the other team’s bench, and if Leslie continues to lead this team with all her heart, I think we’re a tough out,” Banghart said. “It was Niveen’s (Raseed) show and then it was Blake’s (Dietrick) show and now it is Bella’s show. But it’s not just Bella. We have a lot of different players with a lot of different experience.” And Robinson is their leader. She’s helped a group that has relied on veterans as well as freshmen like Meyers and Carlie Littlefield this season. “The Tiger family has always been a close family, so we didn’t foresee that being a problem gelling together,” Robinson said. “It has just been getting better and better as the season has gone on. We’re just going to continue that on through this tournament. “This is the time for us to be playing our best basketball going into the NCAA tournament. We’re excited to have played two really good games in the Ivy tournament and get that momentum going.” And after one year away, which seemed like more, from the tournament, the Tigers are back. “It was frustrating,” Robinson said of not playing in the NCAA tournament last year. “It’s good to be back where we are supposed to be on top of the Ivy League. Hopefully we’ll be able to represent the Ivy League well in this tournament.”

Princeton hockey progress continues in Lake Placid By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The progression of the Princeton University men’s ice hockey program under Ron Fogarty has been steadily upward. Fogarty inherited a program that went 6-26 the year before he arrived. Now, in his fourth season as the head coach, Fogarty has the Tigers in the Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament semifinals. The Tigers, who are the No. 7 seed in the ECAC tournament, swept their opening-round series at home against Brown before going on the road last weekend, where they swept second-seeded Union to advance to this weekend’s semifinals in Lake Placid, N.Y. Princeton (17-12-4) will face top-seeded Cornell (25-4-2) in the semifinals today at 4 p.m.

Third-seeded Clarkson will take on fourth-seeded Harvard in the other semifinal. The winners will meet Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the championship game. Princeton lost both of its regular season games against Cornell, falling 4-3 to the Big Red at Baker Rink in Princeton on Nov. 4 and then losing the matchup at Cornell, 7-1, on Jan. 5. The Big Red are ranked No. 2 in the country in the latest U.S. College Hockey Online rankings. The Tigers went 15-16-3 a year ago and won their first ECAC playoff series since 2009. They lost in the quarterfinal round to Union a year ago, but this year would be different against the Dutchmen. Princeton claimed the opener at Union last Friday, 5-3, as five different players scored. The Tigers then captured the series

clinching victory. “We knew that Union was going to be on top of their game and they were. They did a great job of killing that fiveminute major in the second period and I think the momentum shifted a little there. We got a fortunate

Rho heading to U.S. Junior Squash nationals By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Jackson Rho heads to the U.S. Junior Squash Championships knowing he likely won’t come away with a championship. But for the Princeton resident, qualifying as one of the top 32 players in the nation is a huge step forward in his development. “They take the top 32 players in each age group in the country,” said Rho, a sophomore at the Hun School. “You play tournaments of different levels and depending on how well you do there are points that count toward your national ranking and based on those points you move up or down. I did well enough in tournaments this year that I was able to qualify.” Rho is the 31st seed in the 32-player Boys U17 tournament, which begins today at the Murr Center at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. “I just slipped in this year,” Rho said. “This is my second time going. I went in 2016, which was my second year in the U15 age group.”

Rho has made quite an ascension in the sport of squash when he was 9 years old. “I was looking for a winter sport at the time,” Rho said. “I played a little tennis and baseball and we just heard about squash. So we found out about Princeton Jr. Squash and I had a few lessons and clinics. I loved it from the start.” Rho was part of the Princeton Little League baseball team that finished third in the state in the 50/70 Intermediate tournament in 2015. The team has won the district title at the same level in 2014. But since high school, his passion has been squash and he has put all of his energy into the sport. “The thing I love is you need a combination of speed, endurance and strategy,” Rho said. “The game is very mental. I have to work on all these aspects. I find those three are a big part of the game.” Rho plays in tournaments in the fall and winter, as well as some occasional spring events. Because he plays squash throughout the year, his other sports had to

go on the back burner. “A lot of the tournaments are at the same time as baseball,” he said. “Eventually, I gave up baseball. We had one or two years with the Princeton team that we did pretty well. At times I miss it. It was always fun being a part of that team, specifically all the guys on that team. We connected very well and it

was a lot of fun.” But now his sports time is taken by squash, where he has positioned himself as one of the top players in the country in his age group. Eventually, it is the sport he plans to pursue in college. “It was definitely big for me to qualify for this,” Rho said of this weekend’s tournament.

University Orthopedic Associates defeated Mason, Griffin & Pierson, 2018, in the opening round of the Boys 4th/5th Grade Division playoffs in the Princeton Recreation Dillon Youth Basketball League last Saturday at Princeton University’s Dillon Gymnasium. Owen Kelly scored six points and Matthew Ghaim chipped in four points in the victory for University Orthopedic. In other action in the division, McCaffrey’s defeated Louis Baldino Painting, 17-15, as Jonathan Feldman scored 10 points and Benjamin Gitai added four points in the victory. Griffin Ettenberg scored six points in the loss. In the Boys 6th/7th Division, Princeton Pi defeated Cross Culture, 41-23, as Jeremy Sallade scored 17 points, Jude Blaser scored eight points, and William Brandt added seven points in the triumph. Remmick Granozio scored 14 points in the loss for Cross Culture. In other action in the division, Baldino & Brothers topped Princeton Youth Sports, 53-45, as Derek Choe scored 12 points and Max Blecker chipped in

and system and we were rewarded for that. I’m glad to go to Lake Placid and glad these guys are bringing me along.” Hallisey, who scored the game-winning goal wasn’t even sure he’d be on the ice for deciding game. “I was walking around on crutches this morning,” said Hallisey, who was banged up in the opener.

“I told Ron there was no way I playing. But I took a long nap and woke up and felt all right at lunch. I was icing and doing the typical stuff and was able to get out there on the ice and play.” Princeton had played Union tough in two losses during the regular season this winter. But this time the end result was different.

“We didn’t have Alex (Riche) and Josh (Teves) in the lineup and they are two big pieces of the puzzle,” Fogarty said of the regular season matchups. “Josh is a highly underrated defenseman and Alex does a great job of moving the puck. We need everyone and a full team to compete with the best. We were fortunate to have Dave Back from

with 11 points. Owen Biggs scored 18 points and JihadJasiri Wilder dropped in 10 points in the loss for PYS. Jefferson Plumbing took down Restorative Dental, 41-36, as Tarak Jayachandran led the way with 16 points and Jack Durbin added nine points. Kian Bragg scored 17 points in the loss for Restorative Dental. Corner House defeated Majeski Foundation, 54-29, as Gabriel Jacknow scored a high of 27 points and Frank McLaughlin produced 13 points in the victory. Benjamin Tarter scored eight points in the loss for Majeski Foundation. In the Girls Division, Princeton Dental Group took down Princeton Pettoranello, 22-6, as Maya Nahas scored eight points and Deidre Ristic chipped in with six points in the victory. Ada Metaxes scored four points in the loss for Princeton Pettoranello. Lependorf & Silverstein defeated Caliper Farms, 20-9, as Macayla Rodriguez scored 10 points and Nandika Bhargava out in six points in the victory. Betaneya Tsegay and Sara Chiang each scored four points in the loss for Caliper Farms.

In fact, the victory in the opener of the series was the first for the Tigers over the Dutchmen since 2009. But on this particular weekend, it was Princeton’s time. Princeton led

2-0 after the first period in the clincher, only to see Union knot the score by the end of the second period. “We had one message in the second intermission and that was if someone told us on Thursday we had to win one period to advance to Lake Placid we would take it,” Fogarty said. “So let’s make it our best one period.

. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? A. I actually view my fellow realtors as colleagues, rather than as competition. We’re all very different from one another, and having s olid relationships with other realtors, as well as having their respect, helps me immensely in what I do, and ultimately helps my clients, too. I was raised in the South, where humility reigns, so, rather than blow my own horn, I’ll quote an email I received from a client several days ago. He wrote, “You’re incredibly smart, your instincts are spot-on, and your negotiationskills can’t be beat. You need to know how really good you are at what you do, and we are incredibly thankful for everything you did for us, on both our purchase and again on our sale. Thank you SO much!!”. He is also a negotiator, by profession, and his words meant a great deal to me.

. How long have you worked in Real Estate? A. This is my 19th year as a full-time Realtorin the Princeton area. I left McCarter Theatre when my son was young, and made a career change into real estate, as life in the theatre was difficult with a toddler. Tod Peyton of Peyton Associates hired me and gave me a great position in his firm. When he closed hisshopon Nassau Street , I moved down the street to N.T. Callaway, and now Callaway and Henderson have merged, so, here I amatCallaway Henderson Sotheby’s!

honest about what you can afford to spend. Let that person do their job for you. Listen to their advice. If the relationship is not working well, find a differentRealtor with whom you really click - someone who has your best interests at heart 24/7.

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. I’ve spent years searching for that crystal ball! Do you know where I can buyone? Real Estate is cyclical and every year is different, as there are always external forces that come to bearin the market which we can’t control; mortgage rates, the global economy, tax policy, (which just hit us hard this coming year in NJ),seller housing inventory numbers, how big the current buyer pool is, etc. So, I look at past patternsand combine it withwhat is happening i n the h ere and now, and begin from there when advising my clients. I’m always working with new data at my fingertips.

. What do you like to do in your free-time when you are not doing Real Estate? A.We o wna quirky house here that dates from the 1700s. It keeps me busy with its constant TLCand numerous projects. S ome I c an d o myself, but most require contractors who know what they’re doing and have the right tools. We also have a small cottage in Maine that always seems to need tender lovingcare, as well. Yes, houses are a big part of my life, at work and at play. But, I‘m lucky enough tohave a great family, which includes 2 terriers and a horse, not to mention a wonderful spouse and a fantastic son - both who keep me grounded and sane. Q uality time with friends, old and new, is also one of my favorite sports.

. What do you like most about living in the area you work? A.I know this area so well,now. We moved here in 1983, when my husband took a job in Admissions at Princeton University and I began acting a t McCarter Theatre. He was there for 24 years, and I was at McCarter for 15. When we moved to this area we said “Three years here and it’s either back to Boston, off to San Francisco or back to Virginia.” That was 35 years ago. We never left. T his area, and our work, was just too joyous and compelling to encourage us to go. Things have evolved a bit since we moved here. My husband now owns and runs a firm called Edvice, which advises students and their parents on the college admissions process, and I’m heading into my 20th year in real estate. Our son is now away at college and thriving. It’s homehere for us, though. We wouldn’t be anywhere else.
