Some Westminster Faculty Are Encouraged After Weekend Meetings Last weekend, representatives from the Chinese company to which Rider University has proposed transferring ownership of Westminster Choir College visited Westminster for meetings with faculty, staff, and students. Live-streamed sessions were also held for parents and alumni about Kaiwen Education Technology Company, which recently signed a non-binding, $40 million agreement with Rider for the Choir College, Westminster Conservatory of Music, and Westminster Continuing Education. Having met the representatives, Westminster Dean Marshall Onofrio and Director of Choral Activities Joe Miller both expressed optimism in the proposed transaction. “I walked away from those meetings with a very positive sense of several things,” said Onofrio. “The partner is very dedicated to keeping Westminster in Princeton. They understand that the brand of Princeton is connected to the faculty, staff, and students.” “I was just so happy to put some humanity to the process,” said Miller. “Actually having human beings to talk to rather than a press release was very helpful.” But members of Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) remain skeptical about the situation. “After Sunday’s presentation, AAUP and the faculty in general still have a lot of doubts about the sale of Westminster Choir College and the ability of this buyer to run the place,” said Elizabeth Scheiber, the chapter president and a professor of French and Italian. “It was a nice, slick presentation. But nobody was actually from Kaiwen. They were

Students Plan Walkout, Call for Gun Control “It could’ve been us,” reads the Facebook announcement of the PHS Walkout to Protest Gun Violence. “Join us on Wednesday, March 14th. Front lawn.” In conjunction with thousands of schools across the country, the Princeton High School (PHS) student-led demonstration, seeking stricter gun laws, will protest “the government’s mishandling and lack of change over gun violence in America.” The event will start at 10 a.m. and last for 17 minutes, one for each victim in the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Princeton Public Schools (PPS) are supporting the walkout and students
who wish to participate, and PHS students are planning an additional hour of related activities, including voter registration, call and writing centers to contact Congress members and senators, service project areas, discussions, quiet spaces, mental health awareness, and 17 stations around the school for acts of kindness. “Our school’s walkout is not only a way to show solidarity with the students at Stoneman Douglas, but it is a way to show that it is now our time to speak up,” said junior May Kotsen, one of the event organizers. ”We refuse to let these guns that encourage mass murder to continue to exist and it is going to be us that change them. We refuse to let the NRA

control our lives and our education.” Talia Fiester, a co-founder, along with Kotsen, of the PHS Democrats in Action who are sponsoring the event, commented on the school’s support for the walkout. “We’re grateful for their support of gun reform. Many schools will have a 17-minute walkout, but we are grateful that the PHS administration is not opposed to this and is even extending it,” she said. “The students are organizing and leading. We want to show that students have some kind of agency in government even though we can’t vote yet.” PHS Principal Gary Snyder echoed the student leaders’ comments. “It is Continued on Page 10

A psychiatrist, an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer, and a retired New Jersey state trooper presented the case for legalizing, taxing, and regulating marijuana to end the negative effects caused by current laws, in “Beyond the Bias,” a forum sponsored by New Jersey United for Marijuana Reform (NJUMR) at the Princeton Public Library last Thursday evening. “It’s a civil liberties issue,” ACLU Policy Counsel Dianna Houenou said. “We’re in the midst of a civil rights crisis.” Citing nearly 25,000 arrests for marijauna possession in New Jersey each year, with African Americans arrested at a rate three times higher than whites, Houenou argued for “reform with racial and social justice at the heart of it.” Retired police lieutenant Nick Bucci, who spent 25 years confronting drug criminals at all levels before leaving the force in 1991, has been working to end drug prohibition. Claiming to have seen the injustices and ineffectiveness of the criminal justice system, he now represents the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP), “my way of paying back to the people of New Jersey for the injustice that I caused all those years.” From the medical and education perspective, Princeton psychiatrist David Nathan, founder and board president of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation, affirmed his “oath to serve public health” and his “oath not to let go problems in society Continued on Page 8

doing that,� he said. Kaiwen is “committed to enhancing Westminster,� Onofrio said. “We have an international reputation based on performances with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and so on, and this partner wants to increase that presence, not only in China but throughout the world. They’re interested in us helping them with educational programming they do in China, and that’s very important because we already do that. We have alumni teaching all over.� The Kaiwen representatives toured the Westminster campus, a fixture in Princeton since 1932. “They did a very detailed tour of the facilities, and they realize what is needed,� Onofrio said. Miller said he wasn’t both-
ered by the fact that the visitors were lawyers rather than members of Kaiwen. “It was good to have someone who is working directly with the company to answer questions,� he said. “Put in black and white, they said they plan to rehire all of the faculty and staff, and pay and benefits would be similar to what we have now. It was put in writing, and that relaxed the atmosphere a bit. Of course, until it is all settled, no one will be completely relaxed.� Miller admits to being initially unsure about the situation. “But having an infusion of energy and capital into the Choir College has always been intriguing to me,� he said. “Having the opportunity to have Westminster stand on its own and be its own entity is a
great goal of mine. It would be great for us to be masters of our destiny. I’m certainly optimistic about this. To be able to rethink things to the way things are done today, in the 21st century, is very exciting to me.� The proposed transaction is the subject of two lawsuits, one by alumni and the other by Princeton Theological Seminary. —Anne Levin

Six Rental Units Planned For Nelson Glass Building on Spring Street
Robbie Nelson has watched many of her contemporaries and fellow Princeton High School graduates sell their families’ properties on Witherspoon Street to people from out of town. She wasn’t about to do that with Nel-
son Glass, the Spring Street business founded by her late father in 1949. Instead of selling and moving on, Nelson has elected to maximize the coveted site by hiring Princeton-based architect Joshua Zinder of JZA+D, to add six apartments on three floors. That will leave 2,000 square feet of commercial space on the existing first level. Plans are for Nelson Glass to move out during construction, which could start this summer, and then return.

“I really want to do this as a legacy for my dad and my family,� said Nelson, sole owner of the property, which also includes the house next door at 47 Spring Street, currently divided into two apartments. “The property is under-developed,� Nelson continued. “And we need more housing in downtown Princeton. We’ve been landlords with many rentals. My father owned another five or six houses in the [former] borough and sold them off through the years, except for the house next door. So we are aware of the need for rental space.� Nelson’s father must have anticipated adding onto the Nelson Glass site, which was constructed 60 years ago. “He put in huge beams, so he always thought he’d build up,� she said. “I had thought about it for a while. I went to see Josh in August 2016 and we talked about many ways of doing this.� : P r i nP c eLtUoS n’s P l a n n i n g Board voted in favor of the proposal on February 15. Zinder’s design has brick cladding to match the existing building, and adds glass rails and aluminum trim. The nearly 5,000 square feet of residential space includes one 1-bedroom, three 2-bedroom, and two 3-bedroom units, including one designated affordable housing. “Robbie had this vision, or her father did, that they would go up on top of the building they had,� said Zinder. “The reality is that the property is under-developed for its use. Based on what she was looking for
and her desire to maintain the building, it seemed like there was one clear path, which was to stack it up, away from the street, maintaining light and air. Also, we’re building on the character of the industrial modern building they have there, which is from 1958.� Inter ior desig n of t he apartments is not complete, but they will be in the style of simple, modern lofts, Zinder said. The project went before the town’s Historical Commission as a courtesy. “It isn’t really historic, but we wanted to do that. And they fully endorsed it,� he

The six-month deadline for the Deferred Action for Ch i ld h o o d A r r iv a ls ( DACA) program passed on Monday, but court rulings have blocked President Trump from terminating the program for now, and the DREAMers remain in limbo. Trump passed the problem to Congress to resolve disagreements over t he DACA program, which protected people brought to the country illegally as children from deportation, but negotiations in Congress have made little progress. There are currently more than 17,600 DACA recipients in New Jersey, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Hundreds of demonstrators rallied Monday at five different sites throughout New Jersey in a statewide day of action in support of a legislative solution to provide permanent protections for the DREAMers. “It’s been si x mont hs since the Trump administration announced the end of the DACA program,”
said Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh, who helped to lead the Monday afternoon rally at Rep. Chris Smith’s office in Hamilton. “We need Congress to act now. The Trump administration created this crisis when they terminated DACA on September 5, and they are to blame for the hundreds of DREAMers facing deportation.” She continued, “We’re making it very clear that our families are a non-negotiable in future debates on a permanent solution for undocumented young p eople. Cong re s s mus t pass legislation now to give a pathway to citizenship to DACAmented youth. We need a DREAM Act now.” As part of a statewide day of action for a clean DREAM Act, claiming “no d re a m d efer re d,” d e m onstrators also gathered Monday at Rep.

on Rutgers University campuses in Newark and New Brunswick. In a dif ferent sor t of meeting sponsored by the Neighborhood Sanctuary Alliance ( NSA) and held at St. Paul’s Church on Nassau Street last Thursday night, about 45 allies of immigrants gathered to plan how to respond most effectively to stepped-up enforcement and raids by immigration officials. “It’s not a question of whether the federal government’s campaign of harassment, intimidation, and arrest returns to this area, only of when,” the organizers stated in their invitation. “We will learn from experts about how we can organize in advance of the next raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on our neighbors and our town.” Feat ured speakers in cluded Farrin R. Anello, ACLU senior staff attorney; Joel Wattacheril of the Reformed Church of Highland Park’s Project DIRE (Deportation and Immigration Response); and Abizadeh. They described the current enforcement land scape, explained the rights of witnesses and targets, and highlighted best practices from other neighborhood networks around the country. “We came together to learn from experts about our rights and responsibilities,” said NSA co-founder Anastasia Mann, a histo-
rian and lecturer in public and international affairs at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School. “From our neighbors at DIRE out of Highland Park we learned how to protect each other, and what is at stake when we do.” She continued, “When ICE drags people out of their homes in pre-dawn raids, they do more than violate our values. When they cast aside rights like due process and habeas corpus, we consider it an attack on America. And it’s an attack we won’t let go unanswered. Those who came out to St. Paul’s are drawing on a long tradition, shared by all the world’s major faiths, of standing with and for the most vulnerable among us.” Mann emphasized the importance of guaranteed universal legal representation for people in immigration proceedings, a policy just enacted in New York City, as well as providing access to driver’s licenses for undocumented residents, and “halting the egregious attacks that are being needlessly carried out on parents and children, sisters and brothers, neighbors and parishioners.” She noted that Thursday’s meeting brought together community members who may differ superficially, “by age, race, ethnicity, income, education, religion, gender expression — but who hold to the same idea of what the community and the country we live in stand for. We’re all in this together.” —Donald Gilpin

Cannabis Legalization continued from page one
“BEYOND THE BIAS:” Expert panelists discussed cannabis legalization in New Jersey last Thursday night at the Princeton Public Library in a forum sponsored by New Jersey United for Marijuana Reform. From left, Dianna Houenou, ACLU of New Jersey policy counsel; David Nathan, Princeton-based psychiatrist and educator, founder and board president of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation; Nick Bucci, retired New Jersey state trooper; and Rabbi Justus Baird, dean of Auburn Theological Seminary, who moderated the session.

that worsen the poverty of the impoverished, and that is why I’m here. I’ve seen so many more lives ruined from marijuana arrests than from marijuana itself.” Nathan emphasized the importance of regulation and keeping marijuana away from minors. “There is no safe age at which kids can use marijuana, not until the early 20s. There is no quantity they can consume that is safe, and the younger they are the worse it is, the more chance it is going to have a negative effect on motivation and also on cognition, and those can be long-term effects.” He went on to point out that effective regulation is crucial to bringing the problem under control. “You

can’t have regulation without legalization. If you’re going to legalize it you’d better regulate it properly. Test it. Make sure people know what they’re getting. By regulating we’ll bring the market under control and protect New Jersey citizens.” Bills to legalize the recreational use of marijuana have been introduced in the state Assembly and the state Senate. Legalizing marijuana was part of Governor Phil Mur phy’s campaign platform, and he continues to support the cause, but the debate over cannabis legalization in New Jersey continues, with opinions divided in the legislature and in the state at large. The most recent Fairleigh Dickinson poll showed 42 percent of New Jerseyans favoring legalization for recreational use; an additional 26 percent saying it should be decriminalized, treated like a civil traffic infraction rather than a crime; and 27 percent supporting restricting the sale to medical use. Nine states so far, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational marijuana, making it legally available to about 70 million people across the country. All three speakers pointed out failures in the way young people are educated about marijuana use. “We’ve done a poor job of being honest with our kids about what behaviors they should be engaging in and why,” Houenou said. “We’ve resorted to the ‘just-say-no’ tagline and that’s it. We need to be honest with our kids about why they shouldn’t use cannabis. We can legalize and tell our kids why they shouldn’t use cannabis.” Asserting that this is essentially a public health question, Nathan added,” If we want our kids to listen, we have to give them a realistic education, more fact-based reasons for why mar ijuana is har mf ul to them. The moral approach has not worked. We treat it as if it is somehow a moral issue. It’s not a moral issue, and it shouldn’t be a criminal issue. It’s a medical issue and kids will listen to us if we tell them that.” The discussion, followed by a lively question and answer session, was moderated by Rabbi Justus Baird, a Princeton resident and dean of Auburn Theological Seminary. There were about 80 people in the audience. —Donald Gilpin
D&R Greenway Adds Preserve To Ridge Conservation Area
D & R Greenway Land Trust, working with Mercer County through its Open Space Program, has facilitated the preservation of an L-shaped site consisting of two lots along Snowden Lane and Herrontown Lane. The first of the two lots was acquired in 2016. D&R G r e e n w ay h a s j u s t a n nounced completion of the preservation project with acquisition of the second lot. The properties were used as pasture land for grazing cows for many years. When the landowners, the Powells, were ready to move to a retirement community, the couple decided to sell the two undeveloped lots for preservation. Through their attorney, they made a connection to D&R Greenway. “Landowners often ask us how large a property has to
be for preservation,” said Linda Mead, D&R Greenw ay p r e s i d e n t & C E O. “This property provides the answer. We assess every property for its conservation value. Sometimes even small properties can be meaningful, especially when they add to surrounding protected lands.” The Powell lots totaled 4.3 acres and are located directly adjacent to Mercer County’s Herrontown Woods Preserve: 142 acres of forest that is part of the 590 acres within the Princeton Ridge Conservation Area. “We prioritized this property for conservation in order to create a natural transition to the larger wooded tract. We are working with Mercer County and Princeton to ensure that the former Powell property is managed as meadow to scrub/shrub to forest, as a natural edge,” said D &R Greenway vice president Jay Watson. From the Powells’ perspective, preservation was the right thing to do “for the neighbors.” Their strong sense of obligation to the community led them to decide that when they moved from the neighborhood, they would leave the neighborhood even better than when they lived there. John Powell’s relationship w ith the Pr inceton Ridge community goes back long before he and Janet bought their house. In the late 1970s, John answered a Town Topics help-wanted ad for part-time work — and “the rest is history,” he says. He began working with Jac and Cornelia Weller to establish a farm on the south side of Snowden Lane. In the 1990s, John and Janet acquired their property, and they farmed that as well. The beef cattle that grazed the land became a local landmark. Years later, when Powell was the executor of the Wellers’ estate, he had the experience of “converting land from private to public use,” as Princeton acquired the Wellers’ proper t y in 2001 to create Barbara Smoyer Park, which supports active recreation. The Powell addition to Herrontown Woods creates the potential to connect Smoyer Park with expansive open space areas, where many miles of trails wind through mature upland forest. S o u t h of H e r r o n to w n Woods is D&R Greenway’s All Saints’ Preserve; to the north is Princeton’s Autumn Hill Reservation. The three properties are connected by a trail system. Herrontown Woods also includes the historic Veblen House and cottage. John Powell reflects on the process of preservation, “It’s other people who made this work. The citizens, in their foresight, wanted the property preserved. And the neighbors are quite happy.”

At press time on Tuesday, this month’s run of nasty storms was predicted to continue with a second nor’easter, and a third round of bad weather predicted for next week. Last Friday’s mix of snow and rain had police, utility, and rescue workers busy dealing with power outages, roads blocked by fallen trees, and downed power lines. At various points, Friday’s storm left more than 130,000 New Jersey residents without power. As of Tuesday morning, power had been restored to all Mercer County customers who had lost it, according to PSE&G’s communications office. But the utility was gearing up for round two. There were numerous road closures last Friday as the first storm produced snow and strong winds. Trees toppled over and branches and other debris flew into windshields. Among the blocked roadways was Quaker Road, which was closed due to flooding and debris. Cleveland Lane shut down from Library Place to Elm Road.
Traffic lights were out at several intersections, including Princeton Pike and Province Line Road, where a large tree came crashing down around 3 p.m. Great Road was closed from Ridgeview to Cherry Valley Road. T h e P r i n c e to n Po l i c e Department responded to about 40 calls for trees or downed wires, according to Sergeant Fred Williams. “We also had six traffic lights out along with power outages throughout the town,” he said in an email. “Ironically, there were only three motor vehicle accidents, none of which had injuries.” Princeton’s public schools experienced some delayed bus routes on Friday afternoon, due to fallen trees. Most seriously affected was Johnson Park Elementary, where the power went out shortly before 2 p.m. and didn’t come back on until Sunday morning. “Buses were able to get there on time except for one, on Friday, and that was a contracted bus,” said Brenda Sewell, coordinator of communications and web-
site management. “We sent a backup bus and were able to go a different route. Some parents, too, had problems getting here. The last students left at 6:50 p.m., but they were well taken care of. Police were on hand to make sure everything was OK.” Commuters on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor line experienced disruptions on Friday, when trains were cancelled between New York and Washington early in the afternoon. Most trains were running again by Saturday morning. NJ Transit travelers also encountered delays on Friday, but most service was restored by Saturday morning. At Princeton Public Library, “We were happy to host many people who were without power last weekend,” said Communications Director Tim Quinn. “I was here on Saturday and it was definitely busier than usual. Given what a regular weekend day is like here, that’s saying something.” Quinn said on Tuesday that the library was hoping to have enough staff members able to get to work on Wednesday to safely open. —Anne Levin

important for me to emphasize that the students are driving the actions,” he said. “They are eager for people to hear their voices and their message. They are thoughtful and articulate about their desire to have a meaningful voice in the national dialogue about school safety. Teachers share the desire for school safety and want to support students in their efforts.” Snyder, along with teachers, other administrators, and a number of parent representatives, will continue to work with students in planning the March 14 activities. Students who choose not to participate in the walkout or projects will be provided with an opportunity to read, reflect, or study independently. John Witherspon Middle School (JWMS) students and staff will also have the opportunity to show their support and solidarity, according to a letter sent out to parents last week by PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane. For those who wish to participate, a 17-minute walk is planned, which may culminate in the formation of a heart on the field next to JWMS, and additional activities may also be offered. Cochrane noted that March
14 events at JWMS and PHS are for students and staff only, with increased security provided for students and roads closed around the middle school and high school between 9:45 and 10:45 that morning. “We wish to thank our students for their engagement in such an important issue that directly affects them and their peers,” Cochrane added. “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.” The Princeton Board of Education (BOE) last week issued a statement in response to the Parkland shooting and a call to “elected officials who have power at the state and federal level to step up, to make changes, and to pass sensible legislation that prioritizes our students’ safety in school over the desire of a few to own these dangerous weapons.” In the statement sent directly to the White House, the New Jersey governor, U.S. senators and representatives, state senators and state assembly members, the school board continued, “As stewards of our most precious

resource — our children, who are the future of this state and of this country — we believe that school boards and school districts can remain silent no more. We applaud the efforts of students in our district and throughout the country in calling for change. It is time for all of us to stand up, and we call upon the officials who can make a difference, to act now to protect our children.” Cochrane reported at last week’s BOE meeting that the district had completed security audits at all the schools and that representatives of the Board Facilities Committee had met with Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter to explore ways to enhance security in the schools. Fiester and others had expressed concern over the possibility of armed security guards at PHS, but Board President Patrick Sullivan affirmed that “there is no intention at this time to provide any armed presence at our school buildings.” Kot s e n com m e nte d on the planned walkout. “As someone living in the United States in 2018, I should not be afraid to go to school,” she said. “After every big school shooting, the teachers make sure to warn us that there will be a drill soon. The drills suddenly become a lot more real when we see the faces of teens that look a lot like us on the news. What I’m asking for is common-sense gun control.” Reflecting on the impetus for the March 14 protest, Fiester added, “this is really important, especially in the political climate now.” —Donald Gilpin

Kids and Camps Guide Inspires Summer Memories of Princeton-Blairstown Center
To the Editor: The unseasonably warm weather last week coupled with your 2018 Kids and camps guide had me longing for the warm weather, outside exploration, and joys that come with summer. As a Princeton University undergraduate, I had the good fortune to become familiar with the PrincetonBlairstown center (PBc) and to spend a summer working there. The kids who came to PBc then were kids who were from areas with fewer resources than where I grew up and whose opportunities were not always the same. I went there to work with and teach them, but I learned a lot in the process and became acutely aware of the lack of quality summer opportunities for these young people. Fast forward a few decades, and I now serve on the Board of PBc, and I know first-hand that PBc is still making sure that students from under-served communities have opportunities for an enriching and positive summer experience. At the Princeton-Blairstown center, we are working with young people to combat summer learning loss, the phenomenon where young people lose academic skills over the summer months. Each summer, 500 students — primarily from Trenton and Newark — come to our 264-acre campus in Blairstown, New Jersey for our week-long Summer Bridge Program, free of charge. They spend three hours a day engaged in hands-on literacy; science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); and project-based learning; an hour and a half in waterfront activities (swimming/ canoeing/kayaking); and three hours a day working on their social-emotional skills through ropes and challenge course activities that focus on leadership, team-building, communication, and problem-solving skills. Each student also gets to choose a book to take home with them, donated by many of PBc’s community partners including the Hun School, Princeton Friends School, representative Andrew Zwicker’s office, and the Hamilton Township library, to name a few. research indicates that the best predictor of summer loss or gain is if a child reads during the summer. All young people deserve opportunities for enriching and stimulating summer experiences so that they start the school year ready to learn and compete on an even playing field. For 110 years, the Princeton-Blairstown center has been providing this opportunity to some of the most deserving young people in our community. cHrIS VAN BUrEN Hun road, Board Vice chair Princeton-Blairstown center

The Akiko Tsuruga Trio is on tap for this Thursday, March 8. Hopewell Valley Bistro & Inn also hosts a series of rotating art exhibits to support local artists. For more about Hopewell Winter Restaurant Week, visit the website at www. eatinhopewell.com. Hopewell Theater Hopewell Theater, located on South Greenwood Avenue in the space formerly occupied by the Off-Broadstreet Theatre, reopened last year after an extensive renovation. Now a 176-seat theater with state-of-the-art projection, lighting, and sound, it offers
a wide range of cultural experiences including independent movies, live music, and guest speakers, along with special Supper Club Nights. Artists can also rent the theater to practice, develop work, perform, or show their work on the big screen. Upcoming events at Hopewell Theater include a showing of Farmers for America on Thursday, March 8, with a special farm-totable dinner at 6 p.m. and panel discussion after the screening with the film’s director, Graham Meriwether.

Peasant Grill, will be available for purchase at the concession stand to be enjoyed before or during the films. For more about Hopewell Theater events, visit www. hopewelltheater.com. Arts in the Valley The arts are thriving in the Hopewell Township region, in large part due to the efforts of the Hopewell Valley Arts Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to “celebrating art in the everyday.” By cultivating creative exploration and expression, HV Arts Council seeks to engage the greater Hopewell Valley community to increase awareness and appreciation of, and participation in, visual, culinary, literary, performing, and horticultural arts. Through its partnerships and collaborations, HV Arts Council helps to highlight the talent of artists in the greater Hopewell Valley area, as well as enrich the cultural and creative lives of the community with artistic events and major initiatives. In conjunction with Capital Health, HV Arts Council is now presenting “A is for ART, T is for TEAM,” an exhibition of works by the Trenton Community A-TEAM, a nonprofit with a deep-rooted history at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, where soup kitchen

patrons meet weekly to create artwork. The 51 works, on display through May 21 at the Art & Healing Gallery at Capital Health Medical Center — Hopewell at One Capital Way in Pennington, provide the public with an opportunity to “see colorful and meaningful art created with a variety of media including acrylic, oils, marker, crayon, pastels, watercolor, and mixed media,” according to HV Art Council. The HV Arts Council will also present “Spring: The Music of Open Windows,” a cabaret-style celebration of all things spring, at the Hopewell Theater on April 21 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The evening will feature entertainment by lyric coloratura soprano Elizabeth Sutton, who is also a professor of voice at Westminster Choir College and Pennington resident.

The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, go to www.morpethcontemporary.com. “Think Local, Buy Local” Pennington is filled with a plethora of independentlyowned shops, restaurants, and businesses. “Think Local, Buy Local, Suppor t Local” is the mantra of the Pennington Business and Professionals Association (PBPA), which points out that the businesses of Pennington add to the “thriving vitality of our small town. On Main Street alone, there are shops where you can find great fashion, unique gifts, and a variety of fantastic food. But that isn’t all Pennington has to offer; there are also skilled doctors, dentists, attorneys, financial advisors, realtors, and designers, here to offer their professional services.” “This year we are focusing on digital marketing to get the word out about our businesses,” said PBPA President Holly Jerome. “We will also have Member Mondays, Tasteful Tuesdays, and Thankful Thursdays to share the latest happenings.” The PBPA is also proud to support and be involved w it h communit y events. It hosts the annual Holiday Walk, participates in the Pennington Memorial Day Parade, and sponsors the Fritz Bayless Memorial Fund for graduates of Hopewell Valley Central High School pursuing business. It also supports community events like the Hopewell Harvest
Fair in the fall, and Pennington Day, which will be held this year on Saturday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sara Cooper of Cooper Creative Group said that many of the shops in Pennington are owned and operated by women, including The Front Porch, Flutter, Poppy, Perfect Performance Fitness & Dancewear, Deborah Leamann Interior Design, Chance on Main, Knit One Stitch Too, Orion Studio Jewelry, Blue Lotus Kitchen and Bath Design, and The Fashionaires. “It’s inspiring to meet the local business owners and learn from them,” said Cooper. ”’They really care about what they do, and are very generous to their community.” Established in Princeton in 1950 before moving to Pennington in 1966, familyowned and operated Rosedale Mills is one of the oldest businesses in the Hopewell Valley. “Our store offers a unique merchandise mix of small animal and pet foods, horse and livestock needs, lawn and garden equipment and supplies, wild bird feeders and seed, plus so much more, all in an environment that captures the traditional warmth and spirit of yesteryear,” said owner John Hart. “Our knowledgeable staff offers solid advice in a friendly, country-style setting. If you have specific needs, please let us know. We will work hard to find and fill any specific request for services and products. That’s why we are America’s Country Store!” Hart added that they are always adding new products, and recently started selling local grass-fed meats.
Rosedale Mills encourages people to shop local and support the community. For more, visit www.rosedalemills.com. Coming Soon There will be a Children’s Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 24 at 9 a.m. at Hopewell Borough Park. The family-friendly event will include goodie bags for the children and a non-competitive hunt in three age groups: 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9. Children should bring their own baskets and parents/guardians are encouraged to bring cameras for a special appearance by the Easter Bunny. The annual Hopewell Memorial Day Parade begins at 1 p.m. and moves east on Broad Street. It is an oldfashioned parade with veterans marching, bands playing, and flags waving, and is sponsored by the Hopewell Borough Fire Department. On select Friday evenings in the summer, live music will be performed by local musicians under the gazebo in Hopewell Borough Park from 7 to 9:30 p.m. And twice a year, Hopewell Borough streets become filled with antique cars and car lovers on Cruise Night. Tom Foster of Hopewell Motors sponsors this large celebration of all things auto, which also features great food and live music. This spring’s date will be announced soon. —Laurie Pellichero

MUSIC REVIEW
University Glee Club Combines Modern Works With Handel Classic
I
n its annual tribute to long-time conductor Walter L. Nollner this year, the Princeton University Glee Club showed how much the ensemble has grown under the leadership of current music director Gabriel Crouch, as well as how multinational choral music has become since Nollner’s time. Not content to merely present a masterpiece of the repertory, the Glee Club stretched its performance wings well into the 21st century with a work by one of its own members. Each of the three pieces performed on Sunday afternoon’s concert in Richardson Auditorium was challenging in its own right. University senior Shruthi Rajasekar has a solid history of studying composition, voice, and South Indian classical music, and this past year was honored by two contemporary music forums for her work. Her four-movement Gaanam seemed to combine a wide range of her interests and backgrounds. Gaanam (the noun form of “singing” in Sanskrit) juxtaposed three vocal soloists against the rest of the Glee Club, presenting melodies and rhythms derived from the South Indian classical music tradition. Soprano Sarah Baber, tenor Calvin Wentling, and bass Eli Berman sang the Indian literary texts in a chant-like style against dissonant streams of chords from the chorus. Conductor Gabriel Crouch led soloists and chorus through varied dynamics and musical effects, keeping the vocal palette very even with mostly straight singing from the members of the Glee Club. The punctuating chords from the men’s sections were tuned very high in this work which challenged both intellect and voice. Crouch followed up this home-grown piece with a U.S. premiere of a dramatic work by 20th-century British composer John Taverner, whose music for Princess Diana’s funeral is still memorable today. As explained by Crouch, Taverner composed his four-movement Total Eclipse for the vast space of a cathedral such as St. Paul’s in London, but through attention to detail, the Glee Club successfully realized Taverner’s musical intentions with creative use of the Richardson space. Total Eclipse has been described as a “Metánoia — or conversion — depicting St. Paul’s blinding conversion on the road to Damascus. As Taverner wrote, “everything in the piece is related metaphysically, whether it be voice, instrumental timbre, rhythm, or melody.” Vocal char-
acters represented Christ and Saul, whose conversion leads him to become the Apostle Paul. Other vocal commentary was provided by a solo soprano singing from the balcony, and the soul of Saul/Paul was conveyed by a soprano saxophone played by Alex Laurenzi. This work also had a somewhat Eastern flavor, accompanied by a small orchestra and three sets of timpani. The dramatic action of Total Eclipse begins following the crucifixion of Christ, who musically was represented by Sergei Tugarinov. Christ called to Saul, sung by Eli Berman, from the heavens, as Saul’s “soul” wandered through Richardson Auditorium in the expressive playing of saxophonist Laurenzi. The choral passages were very homophonic, with well-tuned chordal streams and clean sections of minimalistic repeating text. Following his conversion, the character of Paul was strongly sung by Calvin Wentling. Equally as impressive as these performers was soprano Madeline Kushan, who sang an almost unimaginably difficult vocal line containing at least ten high “Cs” with purity and incredible vocal patience. Glee Club Student Conductor Gloria Yin effectively directed the musical action in the upper level of Richardson while Crouch conducted the singers and ensembles onstage, as this very deserving piece received its U.S. premiere (and only third performance worldwide) by the Glee Club. he Glee Club continued its musical refinement to close the concert with G.F. Handel’s Dixit Dominus, a piece characteristic of the high Baroque, but which does not get nearly as many performances as the composer’s immortal Messiah. Accompanied by a small chamber orchestra, the Glee Club sang out fully, yet retained Baroque crispness and precision. A number of Glee Club members stepped out of the chorus to perform solos, including mezzo-soprano Caroline Zhao and soprano Solène Le Van, who have distinguished themselves in performances throughout their Princeton careers. Le Van in particular handled well an aria with a tricky vocal range. Crouch found a great deal of dynamic contrast among the nine movements, leading the singers through choral coloratura and a lithe and quick closing fugue which ended the piece on a joyful note. —Nancy Plum

Her friends and family try to give her the support she needs, and Katja somehow manages to make it through the funeral. But the search for the perpetrators and reasons behind the senseless killing complicate Katja’s painful mourning, opening wounds and doubts. Danilo, a lawyer and Nuri’s best friend, represents Katja in the eventual trial against the two suspects: a young couple from the neo-Nazi scene. The trial pushes Katja to the edge, but there’s simply no alternative for her: she wants justice.

ONCE UPON A TIME, a story book house was built on a street, believe it or not, called Lover’s Lane. Across the street from Marquand Park, and close to the Institute and University, this area was once part of the Pyne Estate. In fact, some of the stables are believed to be located right down the street! Crafted of stone, with a master stonemason’s skill, it is one of the sweetest homes in Princeton. With over half an acre of private grounds, there is plenty of space, inside and outside. Behind the house is a secret garden complete with stone sitting walls, potting shed and terrace. Serene and peaceful, it is the perfect place to read, or even write, a book. This feeling continues inside, as well, with quality features like six-panel doors and custom cupboards. Formal living room has fireplace, and French doors provide access to the terrace and garden from both the family room and dining room. The updated kitchen is a work of art, with the adjacent family room addition offering a volume ceiling, Palladian-style window, and views of the garden. On this level is also a secluded study. Four generous bedrooms and a second study complete with built-ins and cool ceiling are found on the second level. The master bedroom, ensuite of course, has plenty of closet space and a custom tiled bathroom. And here is the piece-de-resistance --- a third floor get-way attic! No cookie-cutter house, this! $1,095,000

The Year of Loving Improbably: “On Body and Soul” and “The Shape of Water”
I
n one film the lovers are a mute cleaning woman and an aquatic creature in a top-secret government research facility in Baltimore; in the other, they’re a young, socially retarded quality control inspector and an aging financial director at a slaughterhouse in Budapest. In the first, the lovers communicate by sign language; in the second they dream the same dreams. Which plot is the more improbable? Put another way, which requires a more willing suspension of disbelief? That a lonely mute cleaning woman finds love with a humanoid amphibian god who glows in the dark or that an autistic meat inspector finds it with a man who has a withered arm? According to Box Office Mojo, Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, which won the 2018 Oscar for Best Picture Sunday, has grossed $126.4 million and counting; Ildikó Enyedi’s On Body and Soul, which was nominated for Best Foreign Film, has grossed $2 million, having, at this writing, never played in an American cinema. Talked Into It My wife had to talk me into seeing On Body and Soul. When she told me it was set in a meat-packing plant, I said something cynical and dismissive to which she said, “It got good reviews and it’s free on Netflix. We could see it right now. It won the Golden Bear at Berlin. And something at Cannes.” Still resisting, I looked the film up on IMDb, where I found that it was written and directed by Enyedi, whose last film to make a stir was My Twentieth Century (1989). The stars: those household names, Alexandra Borbély and Géza Morcsányi (or, since last names come first, in Hungary, Borbély Alexandra and Morcsányi Géza). Borbély had won Best Actress at the European Film Awards. Anyway, it was free. We could always turn it off and watch something on FilmStruck. Doe Meets Stag On Body and Soul opens with an encounter between a stag and a doe in a snowy forest. The stag rubs its chin on the doe’s back. The brilliantly shot sequence is just there, no apparent rhyme or reason, nothing to do with the grim business of the abattoir, beyond the obvious contrast of animalin-the-wild with animal-in-captivity being processed for human consumption. Borbély plays Mária, an ethereally lovely but pathologically introverted, casebook-frigid misfit with a scarily exact memory for details who inspects dead animal carcasses, presumably because objectifying such things is one of the upsides of her disability. Morcsányi plays Endre, the plant’s grizzled, aging financial director whose disability, a “crippled arm,” Mária tactlessly points out when he introduces himself in the workers’ cafeteria. She’s behaving clinically in character, as “precise” in interpersonal relations as she is when she gives a B grade to carcasses that ordinary inspectors would grade as A. So what could happen between these two? He’s in his 50s, she’s at least 20 years younger; he’s been through Cole Porter’s “mill of love,” all of it behind him and he’s glad; she’s never even begun; for her, love is another planet, intimate physical contact light years away except for formal moments, as when he comes over to her table in the cafeteria the first time and she stands to at-
tention and stiffly holds out her hand. So far the only hint of something beyond the routine is the cloud-dimmed sun whose light Endre bathes his face in, eyes closed; when he looks down from the window, he sees the sunlight reaching Mária at the same moment; she’s standing alone in the muted radiance; then, as if aware of his gaze, she steps back into the shadows of a doorway. The Awakening After more sequences with the stag and the doe that still have no apparent relation to the slaughterhouse assembly line or anything else, there’s a crisis at the plant. Someone has been stealing the mating powder, the aphrodisiac of choice for breeding cattle! A psychologist is brought in to interview anyone who had access to the supply, and one of the questions she asks is, “Tell me what you dreamt last night.” Endre tells her he dreamed he was a deer in a field. Were you alone? No. There was another deer. Did you
in an enchantment; now this radiant awakening, as if all the wonder she never knew, all the possibilities on the other side of her illness, have been brought to life. It would be a challenge for any actress to convincingly convey what’s happening, the surfacing of a suppressed self; in only her second film, this young actress brings it off and keeps bringing it off as she tries to navigate a new dimension of existence. Learning how to live in the scary-beautiful new world she’s just glimpsed, Mária becomes a student in the elementary education of touching and feeling. Shyly stepping around sunbathing couples in a public park, she stares down at a girl being passionately kissed who becomes aware of her gaze and rather than turning away makes eye contact as if somehow sympathetically aware of her plight. Later, Mária’s alone in the middle of the field, lying in the fading sunlight, rubbing blades of grass between her fingers,
mate? No — “our noses touched when we drank from the stream, that’s all.” When Mária answers the question by describing the same dream, the audience comes to attention, and the psychologist suspects a prank, thinking the two have conspired and are putting her on. So she calls them both in and plays back their recorded answers as they sit there, listening, together. While the man is understandably startled and intrigued, the girl experiences a stunning revelation. Mária’s expression at this moment is unforgettable; up to now, she’s been growing on us, beautiful in the depth of her detachment, like a fairy princess trapped
touching, feeling, when an array of sprinklers comes on, showering her from all sides: she sits up startled, then glorying in the impact of the water, surprised by mindless joy, fully smiling for the first time in the film. Elisa and the Creature I saw The Shape of Water Sunday at the Garden. The contrast of a super-powered Hollywood production to the small-scale of Body and Soul may have affected my response to del Toro’s wonderful if overlong fantasy, which the New Yorker’s Anthony Lane calls “a horror-monster-musical-jailbreak-period-spy-romance.” While del Toro’s cine-matic mastery won him a Best Director
Fiddler on the Roof
Oscar, the glory of the film is Sally Hawkins’s Elisa Esposito. As Lane points out, “none of this would cohere, as an imaginative escapade” without her. She plays the mute with passionate, silent-movie genius. Her force is such that half the time you seem to be hearing the pounding of her heart, as in the hair-raising intensity of the scene where the only way she can express the depth of her feeling for the creature (Doug Jones) and the impending threat to his existence is to pummel her gay friend and apartment mate nicely played by Richard Jenkins. I enthused here about Sally Hawkins at Oscar time almost ten years ago when her performance as the indefatigable life-force Poppy in Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky was ignored by the Academy. After winning 14 Best Actress honors, including a Golden Globe and the New York, London, and San Francisco Film Critics awards, she didn’t even rate a nomination in tinsel town. At least she got that much this year. Having seen Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and The Shape of Water in that order in a two-day period, I can’t argue with Frances McDormand’s Best Actress Oscar. If you’ve already admired her in the outstanding mini series Olive Kitteridge, you know what she can do. But the same could be said of Hawkins. In my March 11, 2009 review of Happy-Go-Lucky, I mention her edgy nocturnal encounter with a dangerously troubled derelict in which “the zany, mischievous, wisecracking” character who has been “alternately amusing you and testing your patience” hears the man bellowing “to no one and nothing,” and instead of avoiding the danger, she confronts it head-on, “face to face, eye to eye, trying to understand or at least make the man know that someone cares enough to make the effort.” Fast forward to the cleaning woman and the creature and you see the same actress taking on and sublimely mastering a far more challenging situation. McDormand’s performance has depth and passion. Hawkins’s has depth, passion, and magic. One problem I had with del Toro’s film, in addition to the heavyhanded business with Michael Shannon’s manic villain (a brilliant performance even so) and related over-the-top action sequences, was Alexandre Desplat’s intrusive (and Oscar-winning) score. The most effective music in The Shape of Water inspires fantastical sequences in which Elisa plays records and dances her way into a dream world of old Hollywood musicals. Music is also one of the mediums through which Mária finds her way in On Body and Soul. After listening to stacks of CDs in a record store looking for “love music,” she takes home the sales clerk’s favorite, Laura Marling’s “What He Wrote,” which accompanies the denouement of a unique love story. At the moment, the only way to see Ildikó Enyedi’s extraordinary film is on Netflix or DVD, once it’s available. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this is “the first time in memory that a foreign-language film of this quality has not had even a token moviehouse playdate.” s it possible that Princeton’s Garden could give On Body and Soul its first American showing? I hope so. —Stuart Mitchner

Abacus: Small Enough to Jail
CINEMA REVIEW
Documentary Describes Racist Targeting of Chinese American Bank
A
bacus: Small Enough to Jail is an Oscar-nominated documentary that chronicles an outrageous example of bigotry against the Sung’s Chinese American immigrant family. Patriarch Thomas Sung was inspired by the classic film It’s a Wonderful Life, when he and his family founded the Abacus Federal Savings Bank in 1984 in New York City’s Chinatown. He wanted to help the people of his community get loans after repeatedly witnessing how other lending institutions were willing take Chinese people’s deposits, but were reluctant to let them borrow money. Abacus flourished over the years, and his daughters, Jill and Heather, joined the family business as executives after they became lawyers. The world came crashing down around them when the bank — and 19 of its employees — were charged with conspiracy, larceny, and fraud in the wake of of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. What’s stunning is
that Abacus was the only financial institution that the government ever charged criminally after the collapse of the mortgage market. Adding insult to injury, the case was based entirely on evidence which Abacus Bank had turned over to federal regulators, as required by law, after they discovered felonious behavior on the part of some of their loan officers, whom they fired on the spot. Was the ensuing prosecution malicious or warranted? Judge for yourself. But don’t be surprised if this chilling exposé leaves you convinced that the Sungs were innocent victims of a legal system that doled out “justice” in a color-coded fashion, even though it was a white-collar crime. Excellent (HHHH). Unrated. In English, Mandarin, and Cantonese with subtitles. Running time: 88 minutes. Production Studios: Kartemquin Films/Blue Ice Films/Mitten Media/Motto Pictures. Distributor: PBS Distribution. —Kam Williams

With Robinson Producing Historic Performance, PU Women’s Hoops Earns Top Seed for Ivy Tourney
A
s Leslie Robinson took the court at Jadwin Gym last Friday evening to start her final home weekend for the Princeton University women’s basketball team, her mind was racing. “It is a lot of mixed emotions,” said 6’0 senior forward Robinson, a native of Corvallis, Ore. “It is excitement, it is sadness, it is nostalgic. It is a little bit of everything.” While Robinson only scored one point in the first quarter as the Tigers jumped out to a 23-7 lead over visiting Brown, she laid the foundation for one of the most exciting nights of her career. The 6’0 senior forward piled up six rebounds and six assists, putting her in position to achieve a triple-double. “When the team is shooting well, it is easy to celebrate my passes,” said Robinson. “It is good to get them shots and get us going early, especially coming off the loss last Saturday. It was super important to bounce back, showing who we are and how we play and how we fight.”
WHO’S BEEN SHOOTING AT MY TREES? With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES
The characteristic straight rows of holes from the pecking of the Yellow-Belly Sapsuckers are a curiosity to many. The birds are not searching for the larvae of boring insects as often assumed. What they actually do is eat the live inner bark (phloem) of the trees, as well as the insects that are attracted to the resulting wounded areas and sap flow that their pecking creates. Unless the holes are close enough together to cause girdling of stems or branches, the trees are usually not affected. Once the birds have identified a suitable tree, they will return year after year. For trees severely damaged, consider deep root bio-fertilization with organic stimulants to maintain health and improve stress resistance. Call Woodwinds (609) 924-3500 or email treecare@woodwinds.biz to schedule a dormant season tour of your garden today. “A healthy tree is a happy tree.”
Robinson, who nearly recorded a triple-double, chipping in 15 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds to help Princeton defeat Dartmouth 79-67 on February 23, knew she was on track for the feat. “At halftime, they announced the stats and I heard it,” said Robinson. “I was right there with the rebounds and assists and then it was getting a couple of shots and making my free throws.” As Princeton pulled away from Brown and extend its lead to 64-33, Robinson found herself sitting on the bench to start the fourth quarter, three points and one assist shy of the tripledouble. With 4:06 remaining in the contest, Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart put Robinson back into the game. Robinson hit three free throws to reach 10 points and increased her rebound total to 15 but still needed one assist for the tripledouble. With 36 seconds left, she fired a pass to Gabrielle Rush in the corner, who proceeded to drain a 3-pointer, giving Robinson her feat and setting off a raucous celebration on the Princeton bench. In reflecting on her tripledouble, which is believed to be the first-ever on Princeton hoops history, men or women, Robinson was thankful to her coach and teammates. “I was grateful that she did [put me in] and I am grateful that I was able to have this moment on this floor,” said Robinson. “It was amazing; when Rush put that shot up, I know she wanted it as much as I did. It definitely means a lot and I think it goes to show how close our team is and how proud we are of each other’s achievements; the fact that they were so happy for me. I am as happy on those 10 assists that I had. I am excited for them making those shots too, it is two-fold.” The excitement was heightened as Princeton’s 79-44 win over the Bears clinched a share of the Ivy League regular season title, prompting the cutting down of the net by the Tiger players, coaches, and managers. For Robinson, starting her final home weekend with such a memorable evening had her thinking about the bonds she has established

with her fellow seniors on the squad, Kenya Holland and Tia Weledji. “We have had our ups and downs as a class and being on this team,” said Robinson, with the net draped around her neck. “We have grown; we are the three best friends we could ever ask for. We are sisters at this point. We are really lucky to be on this team and having this be our final season.” Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart was thrilled to see her team come through with the title in the wake of the loss to Harvard. “I just thought that we had a really good week; we had to dial in,” said Banghart. “They knew what was at stake. They earned it fall winter, spring, summer; it was a chance to finally just close it.” In reflecting on the victory over Brown, Banghart credited Robinson with being the catalyst for the Tigers. “Leslie just wants to win and she will do whatever it takes,” said Banghart of Robinson, who had nine points and six rebounds as Princeton topped Yale 6453 on Saturday to finish the regular season at 22-5 overall and 12-2 Ivy and clinch the outright league title. “She is an elite passer and has a great basketball IQ. She also knows that getting the other guys shots is important.” The Tigers played some great basketball collectively as they routed the Bears. “We said it is about us, it is about what we do, it is about our standard,” said Banghart. “We are still building, it is not over.” Banghart was overjoyed to see Robinson accomplish the triple-double, highlighting a
superb senior campaign that has seen her average 10.3 points, 4.4 assists, and 7.1 rebounds a game. “It is first time ever, it might be the first time, male or female,” said Banghart. “Usually we don’t care about stuff like that but with it being a triple-double and it being senior weekend. Her dad [Craig Robinson ’83] being a two-time Ivy Player of the Year and he never got a triple double. It is kid that you can’t possibly not root for. It meant a lot to her, she said coach can I go back and play. I held her out for a lot of it; I wasn’t going to give her all day to do it. She said basically can I go and I said you have earned it.” The senior group of Robinson, Holland, and Weledji has earned the respect and affection of Banghart. “I couldn’t be prouder of them; we have one all league player in the senior class and they win the Ivy title,” said Banghart “Seniors win championships here; to say our seniors have blown me away with their ability to lead this group would be an understatement. They have been through so much. They knew they can’t always do it on the court but it is what they can do in practice, in our culture. This is the seniors’ championship without a doubt.” With the Tigers now competing in the Ivy postseason tournament this weekend in Philadelphia for the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA tourney, Banghart is looking for her squad to keep getting it done. “ Yo u n e v e r r e a l l y know, you are dealing with college kids,” said Banghart, whose team is seeded first and will face fourth-seeded Yale on March 10 in the semifinals with the winner advancing to the title game on Sunday to play the victor of the Penn-Harvard semifinal. “We just want to play well one game at a time.

LES IS MORE: Princeton University women’s basketball player Leslie Robinson puts up a shot last Friday against visiting Brown. Senior forward Robinson produced a historic performance in a 79-44 win over the Bears, scoring 10 points with 15 rebounds and 10 assists to achieve the first triple-double in Princeton history. A night later in her Jadwin Gym finale, Robinson contributed nine points and six rebounds as Princeton topped Yale 64-53 to finish the regular season at 22-5 overall and 12-2 Ivy and clinch the outright league title. The Tigers will now compete in the Ivy postseason tournament in Philadelphia for the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA tourney. Princeton is seeded first and will face fourth-seeded Yale on March 10 in the semifinals. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) thought today we played great. Robinson, for her part, believe the Tigers are primed to raise the level of their game with the NCAA bid on the line. “We are really excited,”
said Robinson. “Hopefully we can emulate what we did today and just carry that into the tournament and play Princeton basketball and not shy away from who we are.” —Bill Alden

N.J. Natives Grabowski, Robinson Enjoy Baker Finale As Tiger Men’s Hockey Rolls Past Brown in Playoffs For the Princeton University men’s hockey team, Joe Grabowski and Eric Robinson have proven to be two local kids who made good. Defenseman Grabowski, a native of nearby Lawrenceville and forward Robinson, who hails from Bellmawr in Camden County, have emerged as stars on the ice and team leaders, with both serving as captain. Robinson, for his part, has enjoyed thriving close to home. “For me it is only an hour away and with Joe g row ing up 15 m inutes away, it is pretty special to be at an in-state school and represent the school and be a part of a rebuild here,” said Robinson. After Princeton defeated visiting Brown 7-1 last Saturday evening to complete a 2-0 sweep of the Bears in the first round of the ECAC Hockey playoffs, Grabowski and his classmates enjoyed a special moment as they surveyed the scene after their final appearance at Hobey Baker Rink. “We lined up; taking it all in, I think that is a good
way to describe it,” said Grabowski. “There is a lot of time spent on the ice here. It is definitely a good feeling to finish off with a win, considering all that we have gone through in our four years here, the ups and downs.” Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty helped his Class of 2018 enjoy a great feeling in their final moments on home ice as senior Matt Nelson scored a goal in the waning moments of the contest, assisted by Robinson and Grabowski. “It was a senior power play, that was intentional to get Halford in goal and get all of the seniors out there for the last shift at Hobey Baker,” said Fogarty. “They have been a key component and catalyst of turning the program around. They came in and for two years it was learning systems, grinding through a lot of losses by one goal and staying with it and being positive along the way. It was great to see the seniors get rewarded with that goal at the end.”

In reflecting on Princeton’s rise up the ladder in the ECACH as it has gone from 4-23-3 in 2014-15 to 1512-4 this winter, Robinson acknowledges that it was a bumpy ride at times. “It has definitely been a steady progression,” said the 6’2, 200-pound Robinson, who now 61 points in his career on 35 goals and 26 assists. “Obviously, it was a bit of a shaky start, but that is expected with a whole new coaching staff coming in. We are freshmen and trying to learn what they want. As we have grown with the coaching staff, we have been able to teach the younger guys each year what to expect and how to be prepared. It is showing in the results as they have improved each year.” Grabowski, for his part, is proud of how the Tigers have improved on the defensive end. “The defense is playing some of the top hockey we have played all year; it has been definitely a gradual upward prog res sion in our play,” said the 6’3, 210-pound Grabowski, who has tallied 26 points in his Princeton career on four goals and 22 assists. “We have done a lot of close support down low. I think one of things we have said in the back end is that we build out from the d-corps. The way we have been playing is really solid and consistent. As long as we keep it up and the forwards keep supporting us really well, I think we have a really good shot at moving forward here.” While Princeton faces a major challenge in moving forward as it plays at Union (21-13-2 overall) this weekend in a best-of-three ECACH quarterfinal series, Grabowski believes that the Tigers’ playoff run last year, which saw them edge Colgate in an a first-round series, will pay dividends. “We didn’t know how to win games when it came down to it in those clutch moments,” said Grabowski. “I think we have learned a lot and grown a lot as a team. and with the coaches. That experience of having been there before will really help us along the way.” —Bill Alden

Sweeping Brown With Veronneau Fueling Attack, PU Men’s Hockey to Face Union in ECACH Quarters Max Veronneau was in the middle of making milestone moments as the Princeton Universit y men’s hockey team hosted Brown in a best-of-three ECAC Hockey first round playoff series last weekend. On Fr iday, junior star forward Veronneau helped Ryan Kuf f ner score t he 100th point of his career, bur ying a feed from his classmate and linemate in the back of the net late in the second period as Kuffner tallied the 100th point of his Princeton career with the assist. The goal gave the Tigers a 5-2 lead and they never looked back on the way to an 8-2 victory. A night later, Veronneau reached the century mark himself, threading a pass that Kuffner converted into a goal as Princeton went ahead 2-0 in the second period and proceeded to pull away to a 7-1 win and a series sweep of the Bears. “It is pretty special. To get 100 is a pretty big number,” said Veronneau, who ended up with a goal and two assists in the win. “I hope we can just keep on winning.” The Tigers, now 15-12-4 overall, will look to keep winning as they play at second place Union (21-13-2 overall) in a best-of-three quarterfinal series starting on March 9. In the series clincher over Brown, Princeton came out firing, building a 15-6 edge in shots but didn’t find the back of the net until sophomore Jackson Cressey tallied in the last minute of the frame. “It took us a little while to score a goal but I think we were getting chances,” said Veronneau. “I thought after Cressey’s score we just got a little more juice in our step. We had a little more confidence and we were able to pop a couple of more in. Luckily we are a pretty high scoring offense and we did get seven on the board.” Veronneau helped the Tigers get in step when he hit the century mark in his career by slotting the puck to Kuffner early in the second period as Princeton doubled its lead. “I saw Ryan going; I didn’t know that there was no other Brown guy there, so I was pretty fortunate for that one,” said Veronneau, reflecting on the goal which gave Kuffner 28 on the season, tying him for the program single-season mark with former NHL standout Jeff Halpern, who had 28 goals during the 1997-98 season. “I saw Kuff in the open. I was just hoping that we would get it.” For Veronneau, it is comforting to be on the same line with Kuffner as they both hail from Ottawa, Ontario and played together in junior hockey with Gloucester in the CCHL before coming to Princeton. “You know where he is all the time and just playing with him six years now, it makes it so much easier to play,” said Veronneau, who now has 50 points this season on 15 goals and 35 assists while his running mate Kuffner has piled up 48 points on 28 goals and 20 assists.
Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty knows that having the one-two punch of Veronneau and Kuffner makes his life easier. “It is pretty special. I had two players who had over 40 points at Bowling Green and I didn’t think I would see it again,” said Fogarty. “To have those two guys feed off of each other very well; they have had the luxury of playing together for a long time in junior hockey and now in college. They know the tendencies of each other.” Fogarty liked how his players fed off of each other on the defensive end over the weekend. “They played well, they played smart defensively,” said Fogarty. “I love how our defense is playing right now. It stems from our forwards getting back as well too. We play better when our forwards are back helping out the defense and giving the defensemen other options to bring to puck out quicker.” W hile Princeton got it done on both ends of the ice against Brown, Fogarty doesn’t believe his squad has peaked yet. “We are a team that knows we can score goals,” said Fogarty. “We are an offensive team that can score in bunches. We are also a team that defends very well. That is our identity. I think we can play better, we are getting there. You are never going to get the perfect game. There are still some lapses in our game that we have to tighten up.” Despite those occasional lapses, Princeton has
continued its steady improvement under Fogarty’s guidance, posting 30 wins over the last two seasons after totaling just nine in his first two years at the helm. “You look at each year and try to progress. By winning two games this weekend, we have guaranteed a winning season,” said Fogarty, noting that is only the ninth winning campaign for Princeton since 1962. “That is just one of the notches t hat has devel oped for the senior class to be part of a team that has won. We are not done by no means. To be where we are at with a winning season in our fourth year, it is not on me, it is on the players. You need the players who want to buy in and work hard every day and be committed to the process.” The Princeton players will have to work hard to overcome a tough Union squad this weekend. “There is so much parity in the league; we just played a Brown team that beat Harvard and Dartmouth last weekend,” said Fogar t y, whose team lost twice to Union in regular season action, falling 4-3 in overtime on November 10 and 4-1 on February 17. “Anybody can win if you are playing smart hockey now. You have to play to your strengths. We know who we are; we know our identity as a team we played that way tonight. Veronneau, for his part, is confident that the Tigers can keep winning “We need to keep scoring and playing well,” said Veronneau. “If we play like we have the last two games the next few ones, we can easily do well.” —Bill Alden

Coming into the state Public B tournament, the Princeton High boys’ hockey team didn’t look destined to make a deep run in the competition. PHS was seeded 11th and entered the state tourney having suffered a disappointing 9-4 defeat to Hun in the final of the Mercer County Tournament. But with the Little Tigers hav ing advanced to the Public A semis in the 2017 state tourney, Max Garlock and his PHS teammates relished the underdog role. “We definitely had the motivation,” said senior defenseman and team captain Garlock. “After what happened last year and what that showed us, we knew we could come out and play with them.” PHS showe d it cou ld play with anybody, upending 6th-seeded Middletown North 4-1 in the Round of 16 and then stunning thirdseeded and defending state champion R idge 4 -3 in overtime in the state quarters. “I don’t think anybody expected it; what is this Cinderella run that Princeton has gone on for a second year in row? ” said Garlock. Facing s econd - s eeded Northern Highlands in the state Public B semifinals at the Mennen Sports Arena last Wednesday, PHS ran into some early trouble, yielding two unanswered goals to trail 2-0 after the first period. Af ter PHS fell behind 5-0, Garlock helped get the Little Tigers on the board late in the second period, firing a shot from the point that Keith Goldberg tipped
past the Northern Highlands goalie. PHS, though, never got closer than that as the Highlanders tacked on a third period goal and prevailed 6-1. “They were a really good team. We may not have started well, but we came out in the second and the third, but it wasn’t enough to come back,” said Garlock. Garlock tried to jump start a comeback with his second period assist. “I saw an open shot, an open lane; I knew we needed shots,” said Garlock. “We were down 5-0. I think at that point, we needed the offensive pressure. I thought I should just shoot it and it went in on a tip.” While the final result was disappointing, Garlock enjoyed a second stirring state tourney run. “It is a lot of fun, I love going deep in states, especially upsetting teams and doing stuff that people thought was unimaginable,” said Garlock. “I really enjoy it and I think this entire team does. Ever ybody on this team cont r ibuted. We played three lines and six defensemen. Down the stretch, everybody played.” PHS head coach T im Chase acknowledged that his squad didn’t play its best in the loss to Northern Highlands, the eventual Public B champion. “It is unfortunate that our guys didn’t have that jump today,” lamented Chase, whose team ended the winter with an 18-9-2 record. “We were bystanders a little too much in the play and that is not effective. We are a better team when we are forcing the play. The other team played a good game. They got on to the puck a little quicker than we did today.” The Little Tigers did force some action as the game went on. “It never got to the point where it looked like were taking control of the game but we were star ting to
get a little more energy,” said Chase. “We got a few chances on the power play.” Although PHS didn’t maximize its chances against Northern Highlands, getting to that point of the state tourney was impressive. “I think we had higher expectations of ourselves to do a little bit better; the effort was there mentally but it just didn’t translate well tonight,” said Chase. “T he goaltending was solid the last few games. Our defensive lapses were much less frequent. Today it was a little different, but give that team credit; they are a big, physical, and fast team.” Chase, who was in his first season guiding the Little Tigers after succeeding Terence Miller, is hoping that his debut campaign is a harbinger of things to come for the program. “Terence definitely left me with a pretty good team. They did a good job, they battled,” said Chase. “We came up north to play some good teams to get ourselves better and I think that helped us in the run here. It is always hard when you don’t have your best game at the end but that’s life. It doesn’t always work out. We have a good team coming back. We will miss the three seniors; we should do pretty well next year.” Garlock, for his part, is leaving with some great memories of his PHS hockey career. “It was fun, I loved it,” said Garlock, noting that he played travel hockey with his classmates, Justin Johnson and Luke O’Shea, in addition to competing with them for PHS. “High school hockey is a great experience, especially with this program and this group of guys. I have been playing with these boys for a long time. I look down the stretch from when I was a freshman; I enjoyed every second of it.” —Bill Alden

Alec Bobchin knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish this winter in his junior campaign with the Princeton High wrestling team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goals were definitely to win districts again,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to win region and the main goal and what I have really been training to do is to place top 8 in the states.â&#x20AC;? In February, Bobchin accomplished the first two steps of his plan. He placed first in the District 19 tournament at 138 pounds, pinning Aiden Dillon of Pingry in the championship bout. A week later, Bobchin won the Region V title, topping A.J. Erven 5-0 of Raritan in the final, becoming the first PHS wrestler to win a region crown since Thomas Frantzen did so in 2006. Last weekend at NJSIAA Wrestling Championships at Atlantic Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boardwalk Hall, achieved his trifecta, placing eighth at 138. It marked the first time a PHS wrestler had made the podium at the event since Ian Reddy took fourth in 1993. In reflecting on his big junior campaign, Bobchin said he has built on progress he made as a sophomore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;G oing from freshman year to sophomore year, I was definitely a lot more mentally strong,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin. Taking fourth in the region last winter earned Bobchin a berth in the 2017 state championship and he benefitted from being exposed to the high stakes environment of that competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was a pretty cool experience. I had a very tough draw,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first match, I went against the top seed. I was able to wrestle back a couple of rounds to the top 16 so it was a good experience.â&#x20AC;? Inspired by that experience, Bobchin started training with the Rhino club in Marlboro to help hone his skills on the mat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just went there and I just love the people and the partners that was basically
right after states,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coaches there are very good. I definitely amped up the wrestling and started training a lot harder.â&#x20AC;? T hat training came in handy as Bobchin rolled into the Region V championship bout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never been in the region finals before so I was thinking to stay loose, keep mentally strong, and just let it fly,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just stuck to my offense and I was able to score on my feet and I was able to ride him out most of the match on top. It was pretty special.â&#x20AC;? Looking ahead to his second trip to Atlantic City, Bobchin was primed to take care of business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just, touch up on some technique, keep my conditioning up, and keep a clear mind,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow, I am hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience out of the way last year. I am down here to just get on the podium, which is what I worked so hard for.â&#x20AC;? Bobchin was seeded 12th at 138 in the state competition and defeated 21st seeded Dante Stefanelli 13-3 in the first round. He then fell 16-1 to fifth-seeded Andrew Gapas and moved to the consolation bracket, where he defeated Scott Jarosz of Roxbury on an overtime takedown, pinned Manalapanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alan Baran, and then topped Anthony Croce of Camden Catholic 8 - 6 in overtime in the fourth round of the wrestle-backs to earn his eighth-place finish and spot on the podium. It was the best finish at states for a PHS wrestler since Ian Reddy finished fourth in 1993. PHS head coach Rashone Johnson was proud of Bobch i nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s p er for ma nce las t weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In these last three days of competition, he grew so much more as a wrestler,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson, noting that Bobchin finished the season with a 37-7 record and now has 101 career wins, the second most in program
history behind the 118 victories totaled by James Verbeyst â&#x20AC;&#x2122;17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some really hard fought wins; he had two overtime wins. It is a long, punishing weekend but very rewarding if you can persevere.â&#x20AC;? In assessing Bobchinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress, Johnson attributed it to developing a clearer focus under the heat of competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got mentally tougher; there is a certain level of mental toughness that it takes to be able to perform well down there,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lot of pressure and he was able to do it this year. The other thing is confidence level. He really believed in himself this year, and that makes a world of difference.â&#x20AC;? That mindset combined with Bobchinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical skills on the mat has made him tough to beat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is really quick and excels on his feet; he is solid on the mat,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had the tools last year. You would be surprised at how much more confidence can do for your performance.â&#x20AC;? In Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view, Bobchin could be in the mix for a state next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a great kid, he set some lofty goals and he set his mind out to do what he did,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really believes he can do better. He left this weekend knowing that he has a lot more in him when he is performing down there next year.â&#x20AC;? Bobchin, for his part, believes he has plenty of room to grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely can feel myself being st ronger and faster each week and my confidence going up,â&#x20AC;? said Bobchin, who is planning to wrestle at the college level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is staying mentally strong, for sure. It is a major thing I need to do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bill Alden

Battling Hard Despite Steady Diet of Losing, PHS Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hoops Goes 3-2 Down the Stretch Having lost 19 of its first 20 games this winter, the Princeton High boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team could have gone through the motions over the last two weeks of the season. Instead, PHS saved its best for last, going 3-2 in its last five games, highlighted by a 58-54 win over Steinert in its home finale on February 9 and a 54-51 victory over WW/P-South on February 20 in a Mercer County Tournament consolation game to end the season. Little Tiger head coach Patrick Noone was proud of how his players kept battling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won three of our last five games so that was great,â&#x20AC;? said Noone, who was
in his second season guiding the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The seniors got to go out with a win at home on Senior Night, which was awesome. They won their last game, which in basketball is unusual. There may be just a few teams that win their last game, the winner of the Tournament of Champions and us. Not many teams can say that so that is pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? I n N o o n eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s v i e w, b e ing cooler under pressure helped PHS break through down the stretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we had a lot of nerves and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to win,â&#x20AC;? said Noone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we finally got over the hump against Steinert that gave us a lot of con-

fidence and a little more breathing room in those last few games. Before that, we would get close and you could see the tension take over, almost like you are trying too hard rather that just letting it come.â&#x20AC;? The progress shown by s en ior Ya n n ick I bra h i m over the last few weeks of the season exemplified how things came together for the Little Tigers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played really well, he played with a lot more confidence,â&#x20AC;? said Noone of Ibrahim, who scored 15 points in the win over WW/P-South and also had 18 in a 50-46 victory over Lawrence on February 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really grew and you saw that in the last few games. I think he took a lot off of his shoulders and he just played. You saw how well he did.â&#x20AC;? Ibrahimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fellow seniors, John Girouard, Sam Tartar, Charlie An, Michael Frost, Tom Doran, and Will Poston, provided stability for the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What an awesome group, I wish we could have gotten more wins for them,â&#x20AC;? said Noone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall it was just a great bunch of guys to coach. We never had any problems, no ego problems, no attitude problems or any problems showing up at practice. That speaks a lot about them and their parents that they were able come in every day and work hard even when we were losing. A lot of times you can run into problems when you are not winning. Luckily for us, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;? With a solid core of returners in sophomore Jay Jackson, junior Jaylen Johnson, sophomore Riley McMahon, ju nior Brendan Rougas, and sophomore Gefen BarCohen, Noone believes that PHS could be piling up more wins next winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jay played well in the middle. Overall you have to be really excited about how he came along,â&#x20AC;? added Noone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He showed at times that he can be a good player and the same with Jaylen. We also have Riley, Brendan, and Gefen; they came on too. It is looking pretty good heading into future.â&#x20AC;? In order to be good going forward, the Little Tigers need to be calmer at crunch time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The huge thing to take from it is that there is no need to get nervous down the stretch of games,â&#x20AC;? said Noone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw this year that you just have to play and let things play out. They put so much on themselves and these little mistakes. They take it too much to heart so that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play through them. Hopefully the guys coming back will learn that it is not the worst thing in there world to make a mistake, you just got to move on.â&#x20AC;? While the steady diet of losing could have have made it a long winter for Noone, he was energized by the upbeat approach of his players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a great bunch of kids.

While PHS fell 60-41 to fourth-seed Marlboro in the sectional quarterfinals last Thursday to end the winter at 14-14, Kosa believes that the win over South Brunsw ick w as a n i mp or t a nt breakthrough for the Little Tigers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good; it is something that we really worked hard for and one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and coach here,â&#x20AC;? said Kos a, a long t i m e m at h teacher at PHS and former head coach of the Little Tiger boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hoops program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took the first step today. We have got a great vibe going, we have a great chemistry; that is what we have been preaching the whole year. It is just togetherness and enjoy the season. We want to put girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball on the map.â&#x20AC;? Devine, for her part, believes the Little Tigers have what it takes to keep stepping up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Kosa has turned the program around incredibly this year,â&#x20AC;? said Devine, noting that PHS went 6-20 last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a bunch of juniors and sophomores. Our starters are one senior, three juniors, and one sophomore. The juniors are a really close group. It was really nice to get that win.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bill Alden

Jane Frances Okoth Jane Frances Okoth, 60, of Princeton, died on March 1, 2018 in the presence of her sister, Atuki Turner and niece, Natalie Turner, after a long battle with breast cancer. Born to Evelyn and Lawrence Okoth, Jane was the second of 11 children. She was educated at St. Mary’s College, Namagunga and then at Makerere Medical School. Not long after becoming the second woman to complete medical school from her tribe, the Jopadhola, she was forced to flee a turbulent Uganda. Praying her daughter Simone’s crying would not alarm the authorities, she snuck across the Kenyan boarder while pregnant with her son, Pinto. As a physician, she was one of few Ugandan refugees able to find work, and she supported more than her own family in those trying times. Through determination and more than a bit of luck, she was relocated to the United States by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. With only what she could f it in suitcases and t he love and support of family, friends, and the church she made her way to Metuchen, N.J. and then Harrisburg, Pa., where her sons, Lawrence and Paul were born. From Harrisburg, she moved to Lewisburg, Pa., where she began a two-decade long career at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, providing health care to some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. She was forever grateful for the personal and professional relationships she forged at her posts in Lewisburg, Philadelphia, and New York. In recent years, she was enjoying semi-retirement and was beginning to imagine how she might return to Uganda to practice medicine there, as she intended to do from her first medical training. She founded a non-profit and hoped to offer health care services to people from her village affected by Sickle Cell Anemia. After her diagnosis, she expanded her idea to include providing mammograms, therapy, and pain management to women in the village. Gone too soon, Jane will be sorely missed by her children, Simone Awor, Pinto Adhola, Lawrence Obote, Paul M busa, and A zuka Okeke, her spouse, Yoga Adhola, and her sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Visitation will be held at Trinit y Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ 08540 on Saturday, March 10, 2018 beginning 4 p.m. immediately followed by services at 5 p.m. All are invited to a reception from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. Following services in Princeton, Jane’s life will be celebrated at her home and final resting place in Uganda.
Marion Slattery “Mike” Tyler April 2, 1932 – February 28, 2018 Slattery will be remembered as a loving, artistic woman devoted to her family and community. She was born in Brooklyn to Martin Slattery and Dorothy von Dahlbender. She and her two brothers were raised in California where her father started a chicken ranch. She went to college in Boston at Newton College of the Sacred Heart where she majored in Art History. After college she signed on with the Red Cross to serve in Korea as a Recreation Worker. There she met, and eventually married, Cliff Tyler. She raised her three children mostly in New Jersey. She was a stay-at-home mom with part-time jobs; always active with her children and community. She approached projects with pride and gusto, turning nearly everything she touched into a success — the Girl Scouts, the Boro Recreation Commission, Fayson Lakes Beach, band parents. After she divorced and her children were launched, she sold the family home and toured the country in a van. She next settled in Seattle where she finally had time to pursue her love of writing. She fell in love with the art scene there and was active in readings, painting groups, and even got to participate in a project to paint murals on the bus stops. Eventually Slattery moved to Princeton to be closer to family. She lived in Harriet
Bryan House until her deteriorating health led her to a nursing home. Even there, she was sociable and community minded to the end. She was predeceased by her brother Marty Slattery and her daughter Brenda Marie Tyler-Pell. She leaves behind a brother, Eugene Slattery of Nipomo, Calif.; two children and their spouses — Mauri Tyler and Lorraine Hand of Columbus, N.J. and Jim Tyler and Markus Naslund of Barrie, Canada. She was beloved Aunt Mike to Cathy, Scott, and Wyatt Maxwell of Bloomingdale, N.J. and counted Marie and Jerry Zink as close family. Also left to mourn her passing are six grandchildren with their significant others and three great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the ArtSpace and Sewing Space programs of Home Front, 1880 Princeton Avenue, Lawrenceville, N.J. 08648-4518 (homefrontnj. org). There will be a memorial service, March 10, 2018 at 11 a.m. (gathering begins 10) in the Kimble Funeral Home, 1 Hamilton Avenue, Princeton, NJ. Buffet to follow at 1 p.m. at Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village, 201 Village Boulevard, Princeton, NJ.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF ESCROW? Paying a monthly mortgage payment is a reality for most homeowners. But what does that payment include? Principal and interest, yes - but it may also include escrow. Escrow is a kind of holding fund required by your lender, with funds used to pay your taxes and homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance. Some types of mortgages, like FHA loans, require escrow accounts. Other lenders require escrow when your down payment is below 20 percent of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value (in addition to requiring private mortgage insurance or PMI). Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of escrow? Like PMI, escrow provides the lender with some assurance that required fees - taxes and insurance - are being paid, which in turn assures the home wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go up for tax sale or be left unprotected in the event of an insurancecovered event. To some degree, having an escrow account can provide the homeowner with the peace of mind of knowing these costs will be paid from their escrow account. The trade-off: The funds in your escrow account arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available for investing. Like PMI, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be able to stop escrow payments once you reach that magical 80 percent LTV figure (FHA loans are an exception). Keep an eye on your balance so you know when you can cancel and begin paying those costs directly.
