After Swearing In, Council Gets Busy With Multiple Meetings At Princeton Council’s annual reorganization meeting on Wednesday, January 4, returning member Jenny Crumiller and newcomer Tim Quinn were sworn in. New Jersey Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker administered the oath of office to Mayor Liz Lempert, who was elected to a second term. No official actions were taken at a meeting the following Monday, January 9, but the governing body heard a presentation about storm water management, was updated on 2017 budget goals, and was asked by a member of the public to consider creating a resolution opposing the proposed expansion of Princeton Charter School. That issue will likely be on the agenda for the Council meeting on January 23. A third gathering being held Tuesday, January 10 (after press time) is dedicated to setting goals and priorities for the coming year. Reorganization Meeting

The yearly gathering attracted a large audience of local residents and family members of those being sworn in. Ms. Crumiller was named as Council president, and longtime member Bernie Miller announced he would not seek re-election once his current term expires. Ms. Lempert and each member of Council offered comments about past accomplishments and goals for the coming year. In Ms. Lempert’s speech, she cited the creation of a Civil Rights Commission and Youth Advisory Commission as key developments. She also referenced Princeton’s work to protect immigrants, and mentioned the recent presidential election as a reason to make these efforts even more significant. Mr. Miller reported that permits for a proposed solar array plant at the closed municipal landfill on River Road would be received by the end of this month. A second such project, on the roof of the Spring Street Garage, will go out for bids this spring to determine whether it is worth Opening pursuing. He urged the to upth !

District - Charter School Clash Embroils Community
It’s up to the State Department of Education’s Acting Commissioner Kimberley Harrington whether or not to approve Princeton Charter School’s (PCS) application to expand its enrollment by 76 students. With Princeton Public Schools (PPS) and their supporters opposing the expansion publicly, in the press, in the courts, locally and in Trenton, and the PCS strongly defending its proposal, Ms. Harrington has plenty of opportunity for input from both sides on her decision, which she is expected to render within the next two months. Both PCS and PPS leaders have expressed a desire to work together, and PCS leaders met with PPS authorities last week in what each side described as a cordial and promising session. They plan to meet again later this week, presumably in an attempt to find common ground, but the public debate has been contentious. In December, following the PCS announcement of its application to the State, the PPS Board approved a resolution opposing that application, claiming that the proposed Charter School expansion would drain nearly $1.2 million in funds from the public schools and “have a profoundly negative effect on the students in our district schools.” PPS then followed
up last week with a formal complaint to the State and a law suit alleging that PCS violated the Sunshine Law or the Open Public Meetings Act when it passed the resolution to amend the school’s charter and increase its enrollment. “In essence we are claiming that the community was not properly informed that the PCS Trustees were intending to take action to approve an application to increase the school’s enrollment, and that,
www.elephantintheroomdesign.com
as a result, the court should invalidate that action,” stated PPS superintendent Steve Cochrane. PCS Board Chair Paul Josephson declined to discuss the law suit, but defended the PCS application and disputed the validity of the PPS complaints. “I’m hoping for productive dialogue with PPS going forward,” he said. “We’ll respond to the law suit in due course but for now Continued on Page 6
Surprise Accord Ended Battlefield Strife, Win-Win for IAS and Preservationists
Throughout the fall the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) continued to assert its right to proceed with its faculty housing project adjacent to the Princeton Battlefield. Despite ongoing objections from the Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS) and others, site preparation moved forward and construction seemed imminent. Having pointed out that the project had “all the necessary regulatory approvals to proceed,” and that the Institute had already incorporated extensive changes to their plans in response to concerns of the public, IAS claimed that the PBS and other organizations that had formed a co-
alition to “Save Princeton” were waging a campaign to promote misstatements that had already been rejected by the courts. Meanwhile the Civil War Trust (CWT), which had made a $4.5 million offer to buy the land under dispute, had apparently been rebuffed, with IAS refusing, publicly at least, to meet. The PBS, despite setbacks, continued to try to stop the project through a law suit filed under the Clean Water Act and an appeal of the Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission’s approval of the planned construction. Suddenly on Monday, December 12, a Continued on Page 21
FROM A LITTLE ACORN: Sixteen years into its progress to a stature as mighty as its 300-year-old parent, the little oak grown from a Mercer Oak acorn still occupies the symbolic heart of the Princeton Battlefield. Named for General Hugh Mercer, who was fatally wounded by British soldiers during the Battle of Princeton, the magisterial Mercer Oak fell on March 3, 2000, after a wind storm toppled its last four branches.

KEEP PPS STRONG PROTECT OUR EXCELLENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
Our diverse, highperforming public schools educate more than 3,700 children in grades PreK through 12. They are among our town’s most valuable public assets, the bedrock of strong property values, and the heart of our community for thousands. The continued financial strength of the Princeton Public Schools district is a matter of crucial importance to everyone in Princeton.
WHAT IS THE ISSUE? The Princeton Charter School is a privately-managed charter school district separate from the Princeton Public Schools district but funded by mandated payments from the Princeton Public Schools’ annual budget. The Charter School trustees have applied for an expansion to increase the Charter School’s enrollment by 76 additional students. If approved by the New Jersey Commissioner of Education, this expansion would force the Princeton Public Schools to pay at least an additional $1.16 million every year to the Charter School. This amount would be on top of the more than $5 million that PPS already pays the Charter School annually.
WHAT IS AT STAKE? If approved, the proposed Charter School expansion will negatively impact the learning environment, curricular offerings and extracurricular opportunities available to the 3,700 children in the Princeton Public Schools. The additional $1.16 million that PPS would be required to send to the Charter School every year would consume almost the entire amount of the public school district’s allowed annual budget increase, leaving the district with almost no money to pay for its own anticipated, unavoidable cost increases (such as contracted salary raises and healthcare premium hikes). As a result, the public school district would be required to cut programs or staffing levels. There are no corresponding cost savings to the Princeton Public Schools or to taxpayers. Nor does the transfer of 76 children (mostly in grades K-2) to the Charter School ease the district’s current enrollment issues where they are most acute – at the middle and high schools. The proposed expansion would be a net drain of resources away from our 3,700 public school students to boost the revenues of the Charter School. The increased drain of funds annually from PPS to the Charter School, at a time when our schools need every penny to maintain and continue to improve their programs and staffing levels to meet our children’s educational needs, will not only impact next year’s budget but will erode the district’s financial viability continuously and in perpetuity, with the impact compounding every year. The financial harm to our public schools will be ongoing and cumulative.
WHAT CAN WE DO? The decision whether to allow the proposed PCS expansion at the direct expense of our wonderful, locally-funded public schools rests solely with one person: the New Jersey Commissioner of Education. Strong community opposition has been a key factor in successfully defeating charter school expansions in other towns. Thousands of Princeton residents and taxpayers strenuously oppose the proposed Charter School expansion in our community. The Commissioner needs to hear from us. Between now and January 27, write a letter to the Commissioner of Education, copying the Director of Charter Schools, and urge them to DENY the Princeton Charter School’s proposed harmful expansion:
Hon. Kimberley Harrington Acting Commissioner of Education New Jersey Dept. of Education 100 River View Plaza P.O. Box 500 Trenton, NJ 08625
Ms. Katherine Czehut Director, Office of Charter and Renaissance Schools New Jersey Dept. of Education 100 River View Plaza P.O. Box 500 Trenton, NJ 08625

Priorities on the agenda for the year ahead include opposing the Charter School’s proposed expansion; pursuing the most effective, financially responsible ways to relieve overcrowding; and implementing the Strategic Plan to close the achievement gap and improve education for all.
TOPICS Of the Town “Our immediate priority is to fight the expansion of the Princeton Charter School, which is undemocratic, unfair, fiscally irresponsible, and extremely detrimental to our goal offering everyone in our community the best education possible,” Mr. Sullivan said. He went on to state that additional priorities include an expansion of facilities “to provide the best environment for our students” and to continue work to improve overall education “so that our children can become better leaders, better critical thinkers and feel valued for their own talents and capabilities.” Slated to chair the Board’s facilities committee and cochair the policy committee, Ms. Kendal noted that her top priority was “to ensure that all student needs are met” and that they will not only be “academically ready for their next chapter, but that they will also be leaders in modeling tolerance, diversity, and respect for all.” She emphasized the importance of the Board’s ”communication with all stakeholders in the community.” Ms. Bronfeld, who will serve on the personnel and student achievement committees, echoed her colleagues’ concerns and further noted the importance of “good communication and labor relations with our teachers and staff.” As a member of the finance and policy committees, Mr. Hare indicated his strong focus on “creative solutions to the financial impact of our rapid increase in enrollment.” He cited disadvantages of rapid enrollment growth, advocating closer Board monitoring of new housing developments and their effects. “I’d like to make sure that the governing body of Princeton understands the impact on the students and the schools of each new housing development. And for every approval of a new housing development, I’d want to make sure that the Board of Education
knows when the housing will be built and how many students we should anticipate. I expect that anticipated enrollment growth is easier to handle than unanticipated enrollment growth.” Mr. Hare also mentioned his goal of being a good listener at monthly BOE meetings and of enhancing public participation at those meetings. “I would like to see a constant stream of people taking part in the public comment sessions at the meetings. My goal is that as a first step our residents, especially students, will want to attend these meetings and feel comfortable walking up to the podium to raise their questions and concerns.” Noting challenges in the current political climate, Mr. Stankiewicz, who will join the Board’s policy and

finance committees, warned, “At a time when public education is facing difficulties politically and economically, we need to make sure that our schools have enough resources. We need to see the governor’s proposed state budget for the year, and we also need to protect our school district from changes on the federal level.” Mr. Stankiewicz highlighted school overcrowding as “an issue we need to address in the near future.

T he t wo distr ict-spon sored sessions will include a presentation by Rutgers Bloustein School professor Julia Sass Rubin, comparing demographics and costs per pupil for PPS and PCS. There will be an opportunity for questions, with the district urging “parents who are looking for factual information about this important issue for our schools and our community to attend.” In comments to the State Board of Education a week ago, Mr. Cochrane criticized the State’s funding formula where “in policy and practice, the Charter Schools and the district schools are pitted against each other. It shouldn’t be that way.” “School districts and charter schools are operating at cross purposes,” he added. “Money is being taken from one to enhance the other. Students and communities are paying the price.” Mr. Cochrane criticized the Charter School funding process as unfair and undemocratic, noting that with rapidly rising enrollments and a particularly crowded high school, the district is

Woodwinds is a family business with extensive experience and personal interest in caring for the trees and plants of Central New Jersey. Sam deTuro founded Woodwinds in 1967 after studying Forestry at Penn State University and managing several branches of the F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Co.
As the deTuro Family grew, so did Woodwinds. Tina graduated from Stuart and the University of Richmond, joining the company in 1989. Pepper studied horticultural at the University of Delaware and started with Woodwinds in 1991. Each family member has brought energy and expertise to the service we provide, so that now, more than ever, we are the full-service company that Sam envisioned 50 years ago.
in the process of developing a referendum to expand space, “but that referendum is one we are required to discuss openly with the public and one on which our community will have the right to vote. There is no vote on the Charter School’s facility expansion, but if it goes through, the district will have no choice but to cut programs and personnel.” In its application, PCS cited the hope of helping to alleviate the district’s overcrowding and the need to better serve “the academic and social and emotional n e e d s of ou r s t u de nt s” t h rou g h t h e e n rol l m e nt changes. Approval of the proposal would mean construction of three new classrooms, a larger cafeteria, additional spaces for special education, and possibly two extra “flex classrooms.” Their proposal also includes a weighted lottery for admission in seeking to increase the population of economically disadvantaged students at PCS. The PCS application cited high demand for admission, widespread parental support, recognition from the State, and high student performance data as evidence of its success over the past 20 years. —Donald Gilpin

Letters Opposed to Charter School Expansion Say PPS Cannot Afford to Hand Over $1.2 Million
To the Editor: We are writing in response to the letters from parents of Princeton Charter School (PCS) students in support of its expansion. Parents writing to local press advocating expansion often focus solely on what a good school Charter is and how great it’s been for their children. The debate here is not and has never been about whether or not PCS is a good school. No one is asking PCS to close and nothing is lost by PCS if the school does not expand. We think that it is important to simplify the point of the debate: can PPS (Princeton Public Schools) afford to hand over $1.2 million of taxpayer dollars without negative effect on the other 3,700 students PPS is obliged to educate? No, it can’t. Just simple, uncomplicated arithmetic. (We will skip over the second debate here, with regard to the broken governance that allows this to happen at all. PPS, with it’s elected board, being asked to hand over $1.2 million of taxpayer’s money to another, un-elected and unaccountable school board). The arguments that expansion of PCS would “save the district money” and that it “costs less to educate a PCS student than a PPS student” are specious. Simply removing the cost associated with special needs children does NOT render this an “apples-to-apples” comparison. Please refer to the work done by Dr. Julia Sass Rubin, professor with the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers, available on the Facebook Keep PPS Strong site. We will offer two other significant costs that last week’s writer did not consider in the “apples-to-apples” comparison: the cost of running a high school, (Charter does not have one) and the cost of Princeton Public Schools ESL (English as a Second Language) program, (Charter serves 0 students in this category). Just two examples of several other factors needed to make a complete and fair comparison of per student cost. Hopefully, the expansion will not happen and our school district will not be weakened. The high school is particularly vulnerable and if our class sizes surge and/or we lose programs, we risk slipping in our state and national rankings. Not a stretch to understand property values could thereby go down. All of which should be of concern to PCS parents, as 90 percent of their PCS graduates end up at PHS. Also of concern to any Princeton property owner. This is not just a school issue. We enjoy the hugely diverse demographics of Princeton Public Schools. We would be glad to see PCS implement the weighted lottery system next year under any circumstances. We are disappointed to see that PCS had lost ground on socio-economic diversity, with only 1.4 percent of students being of low income for this school year as compared to 11 percent in 1990. Even at double weighting, this is still a lottery. PCS should do all it can to enroll AND retain these most worthy students, in an effort to truly be the “no child left behind” school referenced in last week’s Letter to the Editor. Jim AND VALERiE WALKER Grasmere Way ——— To the Editor: We, the undersigned, have all served Princeton as elected public officials, and we understand the critical importance of transparency, democratic representation, and accountability to the community whose tax dollars fund our public assets. The Princeton Charter School trustees’ application to expand the Princeton Charter School by 76 students, at a yearly cost of at least $1.16 million dollars, apparently was planned by the charter school trustees without any notice to or input from the Princeton Public Schools or the greater Princeton community, which is responsible for funding this expansion if approved. Forcing the Princeton school district to pay an additional $1.16 million annually to the charter school, plus even more in transportation costs, will be devastating to our public schools. These increased costs to the public school district would consume most of its entire allowed 2 percent yearly budget increase. We are all proud of our excellent, open enrollment public schools, ranked among the best in the nation. The Princeton public schools represent generations of taxpayer investment, are our town’s most valuable public assets, and the foundation of strong property values. if this expansion is approved by the state Commissioner of Education, it will surely and irreparably erode the quality and value of these public assets — and negatively impact the 3700 children who now attend the public schools. The nine private citizens on the charter school trustees board are not democratically elected by our community.
Westminster Community Orchestra Thanks Princeton for Supporting Sing-a-Long Collection
To the Editor: The members of the Westminster Community Orchestra would like to thank the greater Princeton community for their generous support of our annual Christmas/Chanukah Sing-a-Long concert collection. At this past December’s concert, audience members contributed 124 pounds of food and nearly $300. in the four years we have held these concerts, we have collected a total of 400 pounds of food and over $850. Food donations have been delivered to Arm in Arm (formerly the Crisis ministry), while the monetary donations have been sent to organizations such as the Rescue mission of Trenton, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, HomeFront, and Womanspace. We are truly grateful for our audiences’ thoughtfulness and are happy to be able to help these worthwhile organizations. We look forward to collecting even more donations at next year’s event.

Most of the Downsides from Leaf/Yardwaste Policy Come From a Lack of Containerization
To the Editor: For decades, Princeton has deployed the same controversial leaf and yardwaste collection policy. The logic goes that homeowners and landscape crews can conveniently pile leaves and yardwaste on the streets, which the town then collects and composts outside of town. But there’s also considerable illogic at work. The illogic plays out in many ways: expense, confusing schedules, the hazards of blocked traffic and bike lanes, global warming gases from all the mechanized scraping, hauling, vacuuming, and composting, substantial nutrient runoff into streams, impoverished and hardened urban soils, bias against homeowners on busy or narrow streets, widespread ordinance violations, and a scarred streetscape. And did i mention the annoying, interminable groan of leafblowers as landscape crews eviscerate a client’s yard of every last leaf in order to create a street hazard? There’s nothing malicious here, just as we mean no harm by each contributing to the collective radicalization of the planet’s climate while keeping our homes comfortable, running errands, or visiting grandma. The road to hell is paved with unintention. As with climate change, most of the downsides from current leaf/yardwaste policy come from a lack of containerization — the use of public space as a dumping ground. As a culture, we curbed this impulse long ago by containerizing trash and recyclables. Visitors from the west coast, where yardwaste is also containerized, are baffled by our messy streetscapes. Cities with tree cover similar to ours, like Durham, N.C. and Ann Arbor, mich, also require containerization, using a combination of yardwaste bags and convenient roll-out containers. The ongoing debate over Princeton’s leaf/yardwaste policy has remained paralyzed by two opposing contentions. First is the common claim that homeowners couldn’t possibly utilize all their leaves in their yards. But those massive piles of leaves are mostly fluff. A more optimistic claim comes from the Princeton Environmental Commission (PEC), which contends that containerization combined with a “leave the leaves” approach would be sufficient for the vast majority of households. i used to think that better education would solve the problem. As a former PEC member, i wrote Princeton’s Guide to Leaf management, available online. But calls for better education put the onus on environmentalists to somehow get the word out, and mere words cannot compete with the overwhelming visual. What people see and imitate is leaves piled in the street, not the largely invisible backyard composting and mowing of leaves back into the lawn.
Guesstimates put the cost of current policy at close to $1 million per year. Our policy stalemate could prove even more costly in the future, as Princeton is considering spending millions more to put a roof over its armada of leaf collection vehicles. Before we enshrine a collection policy with so many downsides, we deserve a full accounting of all direct and indirect costs, and test alternatives. i call on Princeton to mount a leaf management “challenge” in which a group of homeowners who claim that loose leaf collection is necessary agree to manage their leaves/ yardwaste for a year with leaf corrals, mulch mowing, and containerized collection. it’s time we use our resourcefulness and adaptability to find solutions, rather than endure year after year the downsides of current policy.

Residents Compile List of Goals For Local Government in 2017
To mayor Liz Lempert and Princeton Council: Princeton is a great place to live in and it attracts new people. Growth is not a problem to fight, but a wonderful opportunity. As Princeton residents we feel lucky to be here, and would like to share our wealth with others and live in a welcoming and inclusive community, rather than erect invisible walls around our town. We hope that in making decisions in 2017 and beyond, our elected officials shape municipal laws welcoming smart growth that is well planned, fiscally thought-through, and beneficial to all residents: old-time, recent, and future. Here is a list of goals we would like to have our government work on in 2017: • Maintain Princeton’s status of sanctuary city for the benefit and safety of our community members, no matter where they came from; • Welcome refugee families: we can make a world of difference for families who have lost everything they had, and we know if we were in their place we would only hope that someone would do this for us; • Encourage development of mixed income rental housing in town — allow a diverse population to move to and stay in Princeton; • Encourage development of new starter and medium-priced duplexes/condos/houses to allow a diverse population to have an opportunity to own a home in town; • Create an entrepreneur-friendly environment that will allow a diverse range of businesses to flourish: new coworking spaces, start-ups, shops, restaurants, art studios, urban farms, etc. Working and living in the same place brings people together, encourages involvement in the local community and reduces traffic; • Encourage creation of affordable and high quality early childcare in town (for example, the excellent Lakeview and Harmony Schools, which are unfortunately not accessible without a car); • Encourage environmentally friendly initiatives: provide incentives/bonuses for environmentally-friendly development, green businesses, creative and alternative ideas in energy conservation and generation, alternative transportation strategies, etc; • Engage in a conversation with the University through which common goals can be established and the town and university can partner to achieve these goals; Given the direction the new administration in Washington is taking, we feel it is very important to work locally to maintain our values of inclusivity, respect for one another and our environment. As our elected officials, we hope you can lead the way. Our own goal for 2017 is to be more involved and to help where possible. We are busy professionals and parents, but we have a lot of expertise and we care a great deal. Don’t hesitate to ask for our assistance and opinions. “This 2017 Wish List has already been signed by 35 community members; to add your name, go to tinyurl. com/Princeton2017WishList” mARiNA RuBiNA Quarry Street yAEL NiV Franklin Avenue

Although they are required to comply with the same transparency requirements as our elected school board and town council are, the trustees’ meetings don’t seem to be properly noticed, and their meeting minutes are often not published for months. The trustees themselves have said the expansion proposal is the result of “months of careful planning,” yet few, if any, public records reflect this. Our duly-elected public officials and the entire community only learned of the proposal less than 2 days before its filing. The charter school trustees’ secretive decision-making process, and the unfairly sudden announcement of their proposal, compound the anti-democratic, unjust nature of their harmful expansion proposal. The Princeton community and our children deserve better. For these reasons the Princeton Charter School trustees should withdraw their expansion proposal.

Historic Designation of Westminster Campus Will Not Affect Rider’s Decision to Sell
Celebrating Excellence In Education At the start of the 2015-2016 school year, Princeton Public Schools launched a district-wide Positive Education initiative to learn, live, and teach the science and skills of positive psychology – the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. While Positive Education is being taught in leading international schools, Princeton is the first district in America to prioritize the mental health of its educators and students in such a bold fashion. Led by Katie Curran, Master of Applied Positive Psychology and founder of Proof Positive (www.proofpositive.org), educators from across the district came together during the 2015-2016 school year to learn the skills of flourishing and resilience first-hand as part of their professional development trainings. Since then, the district has trained over 20 Positive Education Leaders (i.e., educators responsible for coaching and mentoring other educators) and nearly 50 Positive Education Champions (i.e., educators responsible for bringing the skills to students). So, what is Positive Education? Positive Education is skill-based instruction designed to enhance wellbeing and promote resilience. Flourishing is achieved by teaching and embedding skills that increase positive emotions, engagement, relationships, experiences of meaning and accomplishment while also preparing individuals to be resilient (bounce back, grow and thrive, and take calculated risks) in the face of challenges. Positive Education utilizes the evidenced-based findings of positive psychology in alignment with best practices in teaching to draw out the best in individuals and cultivate positive classroom and school cultures. The benefits of flourishing and resilience are two fold – they serve as protective factors against negative outcomes, such as anxiety and depression, while also improving experiences of pleasure, meaning, and positive relationships to increase wellbeing. The effect of flourishing can be seen in more traditional achievement measures as well. In a 2009 study, researchers demonstrated that flourishing students perform stronger academically, have higher self-control and lower procrastination. PPS students and staff have been learning about a framework for Positive Education known as the PERMA Theory of Wellbeing, which has five elements: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishments. For each element of PERMA, there are researched skills and strategies that enhance that element. Staff and students are taught to identify which element(s) of PERMA they want to build up or are struggling with and then reach into their toolkit of PERMA skills to start practicing. These are transferable skills that will stay with students across classrooms, buildings, and life. In classrooms across the District, Positive Education Champions are finding the power in reaching students through PERMA skills. In kindergarten classes, the students are creating “Jolts of Joy” coloring books and learning about the benefits of positive emotion on their growing brains. In third grade, students are identifying what it means to be resilient and sharing stories of their own experiences with overcoming challenges to grow. In fifth grade classes, students are learning about their unique character profiles and creating realistic-fiction characters based on their own character strengths. At John Witherspoon Middle School, students are learning about resilient thinking and how to “Slow Down to Think F.A.S.T” (flexibly, accurately, sharply, and thoroughly). At Princeton High School, you might find students learning about metacognition while studying The Scarlet Letter. Many PHS students have had the opportunity to discuss the global differences in wellbeing and reflect on their own lives. Throughout all buildings, there is the theme of gratitude with What Went Well boards accessible to staff and students throughout the year. Positive Education is a way of life, a culture shift that says that wellbeing and flourishing are as important as achievement. The District has already made great strides in developing cultures of Positive Education in each school, and students and staff are continuing to learn how they can flourish by integrating Positive Education into daily routines. Positive Education is embedded in the mission of the Princeton Public Schools “to prepare all of our students to lead lives of joy and purpose as knowledgeable, creative and compassionate citizens of a global society.” To learn more about Princeton Public School’s Positive Education initiative, visit: www.ppsvision.org/positive-education.
At a packed meeting of Princeton’s Historic Preservation Commission last week, a group of students, a l u m n i, a n d f r i e n d s of Westminster Choir College of Rider University asked that the Westminster campus on Walnut Avenue be registered as a historic district. The request is part of an effort to keep the music school’s operations in Princeton, instead of relocating to R ider’s L aw rencev ille location, a move the financially strapped University is considering. But an attorney for Rider, which has owned the 85 -year- old Westminster since 1992, said such a designation would not affect the University’s plan on how to proceed. “We’re here to listen. We appreciate the passion that surrounds Westminster Choir College and its importance to the community, alumni, and students,” said counsel Mark Solomon. “I would point out that this has no relation to the business decision Rider has to make. The two are separate issues.” The University has indicated it expects to make a decision next month. The sale is being considered as a way to avoid a projected $13.1 m illion def icit by 2019. Constance Fee, president of Westminster’s A lumni Council, spoke on behalf of the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton. She told the panel that with the help of consultants, the group plans to submit an official proposal in coming weeks.
“We believe their findings will document what we know to be true, that the Westminster campus possesses significant historical value and represents an outstanding aspect of American, and particularly of Princeton, history and culture,” she said. “We believe that this site will be shown to meet three of the four criteria for such a designation: for social history, for association with significant persons, and for architecture.” The famed Westminster Symphonic Choir has performed across the globe with major orchestras and conductors, some of whom, like the Philadelphia Orchest ra’s music director Yannick Nezet-Seguin, are alumni of the school. Ms. Fee told the Commission that the original buildings on the campus were designed in 1934 by Sherley Warner Morgan, a professor emeritus of architecture and director emeritus of Princ-
eton University’s School of Architecture. The Westminster campus is not identified in Princeton’s master plan as a historic site. Julie Capozzoli, who chairs the Historic Preservation Commission, went over the procedure for designating a historic district, emphasizing that the process takes time and significant review. T he Coalit ion to Save Westminster has attracted significant media attention since Rider president Gregory Dell’Omo informed the school community in early December that selling the campus was under consideration. There have been recent television appearances on mor ning news programs, most recently on Philadelphia’s Fox 29 and New York’s Fox 5. A Facebook page dedicated to the cause lists nearly 3,000 members. —Anne Levin

“PCS provides an individualized educational experience for all Princeton students including those with learning disabilities and special needs. PCS is a public school open to all interested students from Princeton. Its mission is to serve a student population as diverse as Princeton itself.” – Smita Brunnermeier, PCS parent since 2011 “Being a public charter school, PCS educates Princeton students for less than it costs to educate a student in one of Princeton’s district schools. Despite the funding disparity and having to pay for facilities out of its operating budget, PCS is consistently one of the
highest performing public schools in New Jersey. I’m proud to be a member of the PCS community.” – Tony Gleason, PCS parent since 2013

Princeton High School Alum Chazelle Discusses Golden Globe Winner “La La Land” With Kam Williams
P
HS graduate Damien Chazelle met recently with Town Topics film reviewer Kam Williams to talk about his latest movie, La La Land, which swept the Golden Globes Sunday, winning a record seven awards. Damien wrote and directed the Academy Award-winning Whiplash which landed five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted S creenplay for Chazelle. The movie won a trio of Oscars in the Film Editing, Sound Mixing and Supporting Actor (J.K. Simmons) categories. In 2013, his short film of the same name won the Short Film Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Previously, Damien wrote Grand Piano, starring Elijah Wood and John Cusack, and cowrote the horror sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane, starring John Goodman. His screenplays for Whiplash and The Claim both appeared on the “Blacklist,” the annual survey of the most liked motion picture screenplays not yet produced. Damien shot his first feature film, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, while still an undergraduate at Harvard University. The critically-acclaimed debut was named the Best First Feature of 2010 by L.A. Weekly and was described as “easily the best first film in eons” by Time Out New York. ——— Kam Williams (KW): Hi Damien. Congratulations! Damien Chazelle (DC): Thanks, Kam. KW: Not that I’m surprised by your incredible success. After all, back when you released your first film, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, I told anybody who’d listen, “Appreciate Damien now and avoid the rush!” DC : I remember those lines so well. I think yours was the first Rotten Tomatoes review of it. La La Land is sort of like Guy and Madeline, but with a budget. KW: Well, I loved it! It’s #1 on my Top 100 List for 2016. And I started my review saying, “If you only see one movie this year, you need to get out more. That being said, La La Land is the picture to catch.” DC: Thanks! I’m thrilled you liked it. KW: I’ve seen it four times already. It’s a movie you absolutely have to see on the big screen. DC: Yeah, part of my hope was to make a movie meant for the movie theaters, in the old-fashioned sense of a film designed for a group of people to watch on the big screen. I think that old school idea was so beautiful, kind of like those roadshow musicals from the 50s and 60s. KW: The first time I saw it was with fellow critics, and everybody applauded when the closing credits started to roll. That was the first time in ages that there was a standing ovation at a film critics’ screening I attended. We’re a jaded lot who are
pretty hard to impress. DC: That’s awesome! KW: I understand that this movie took six years to make, partly because other studios were willing to greenlight the project on the condition that you agreed to substantial revisions, like changing the ending, and the music from jazz to rock. DC: One of the reasons we actually ended up making La La Land with Lionsgate was that it was one of the few places that was willing to let us make the movie the way we wanted to make it. Two of the key things that other studios had issues with were the ending and the music. They wanted us to farm out the songs to a bunch of top pop songwriters or music stars, since the score was almost all going to be composed by Justin [Hurwitz], my former college roommate whom no one ever knew of before this. And we wanted the soundscape to have a sort of timeless style by being played on acoustic instruments with lush, sweeping strings and a jazz rhythm section. Those were two things we really had to fight for a lot, as well as for the resources we needed to make the movie the way we wanted to make it. KW: I’m glad you stuck to your guns. DC: Once we were set up at Lionsgate, it became a great process, because they were really supportive. I was lucky, as you can imagine, because I was given the freedom as a filmmaker to make exactly the movie I wanted to make, with zero compromises. KW: I know you used a wide-angled, CinemaScope lens, a tech nolog y t hat hasn’t been used by anybody in decades. DC: It’s not exactly the old CinemaScope technology. we kind of did our own version of it. We shot the entire movie in anamorphic 35 mm. And Lina Sandgren, our DP [Director of Photography ] , had some lenses custom built to allow us to go a little wider than 2.40 [aspect ratio]. We went to 2.55 which is closer to the classic CinemaScope aspect ratio of the 50s that doesn’t exist anymore. We liked the idea of giving the picture that extra bit of width because Los Angeles is really a wide-screen city, a panoramic kind of city. So, we settled on a combination of using old technologies like celluloid and that aspect ratio in combination with new technologies like new lenses that were specially built for this and a steady cam. Obviously, almost all of the movie was shot using a steady cam. There was some crane work and some dolly work, as well. But the steady cam gives you a freedom of motion that you couldn’t have in those classic MGM musicals. So, it was fun to try to combine old and new in terms of how we shot it. KW: One thing I loved about the singing was how I found myself pulling for Emma [ Stone ] and Ryan [Gosling], as if I were watch-
ing community theater or a high school production. I knew they weren’t seasoned pros used to belting out show tunes. Yet, they appeared to be naturals, performing effortlessly within their capabilities. DC: You’re speaking to one of the things I loved about a lot of the older musicals. You didn’t see the sweat. You didn’t feel the work.

(Photo courtesy of Lionsgate) musical, in my mind, is to make it look easy. Ryan and Emma have this amazing ability to make everything seem effortless and natural. We always talked about how the singing, acting, dancing, and piano playing could never be just about technique. They had to be about character and emotion. So, Ryan and Emma approached everything like actors, where everything was rooted in a sense of character, a sense of vulnerability, and a sense of humanity, in order to ground it all. Even though they were able to make it look effortless, I agree that there’s this tremendous hat trick that they were able to pull off. KW: I saw La La Land as an homage to classic Hollywood musicals, until a colleague mentioned that you were also influenced by a number of French films.

could have passed for insights even as he’s condemning the film as “an exercise in ambiguity,” with its “mystifying metaphors” and “intellectual dead-ends,” its robotic characters “going nowhere” and “talking in riddles” while a camera “follows them every step of the way.” Timely and Topical One of the only lines from Paris Belongs to Us quoted in the Times review — “Am I going crazy, or is it the whole world?” spoken by “the bemused heroine” — would have had some topical impact in early November 1962 for an audience still shaken by recent events, while sharing a sigh of nervous relief following the Cuban missile crisis, a nuclear showdown that can be read into the fear-mongering and paranoia about global doom communicated by Rivette’s “tragic puppets.” A similar interaction between filmic mood and political climate had taken place when Paris nous appartient opened in France in 1961, a time when, according to Georges Sadoul, “OAS [an organization op posed to Algerian independence] terrorism was at its height, making the f ilm’s com ments on contemporary personal and political confusions that much more pertinent.” And there at the center of Rivette’s haunted Paris of plot s a nd para noia was Shakespeare’s damaged, unplayable, somehow ever pertinent Pericles. Rivette’s Marina The one person who gets a kind word in the Times review is Anne, a “winsome young student” among robotic Left Bank bohemians. The definition of “winsome” — “generally pleasing and engaging often because of a childlike charm and innocence” — describes the appeal of Betty Schneider, the actress who plays Anne, a self-confessed “girl without opinions,” the Alice in Rivette’s Parisian Wonderland, the Marina in his doomed director’s Pericles. The actress herself is something of a mystery. Born in 1934 and presumably still alive, Schneider had only a handful of parts, all between 1957 and 1961, and none as substantial as her role in Paris Belongs to Us. Her place at the center of the film, her innocence and integrity, and her capacity for being sensible, curious, and yet appealingly impressionable, is crucial to the picture’s equilibrium; this is especially true given the affected, selfconscious, off-putting, sinister, erratic, and sometimes laughably excessive words
and actions of the people she encounters in and around the thwarted production of Pericles, with their outbursts about global conspiracies (“No one will escape … everything’s threatened … the whole world … nothing can be done ….”). So it is that Anne, the lit student awkwardly pronouncing Ariel’s song from The Tempest in the opening scene becomes the most important character in the film, much as Marina becomes the life, heart, hope and wonder of Pericles in Act 4 when she finally appears, only to find herself facing the man who has been ordered to kill her. In case there’s any doubt about the Anne-Marina connection, Rivette shows her reading Marina’s lines for the same scene during a rehearsal that convinces Gérard to offer her the part. The most obvious feature she has in common with Marina is a guileless quality men find intimidating. She’s so unassumingly virginal that her very indifference to her own sexuality becomes potent, making her desirable as if by default. In the same way, Marina’s purity is a force so powerful that she nearly ruins the brothel she’s been sold to by the pirates who arrived just in time to prevent her murder. The men who come to Marina mad with lust leave in a platonic stupor. As the madam says, “she’s able to freeze the god Priapus, and undo a whole generation … she would make a puritan of the devil himself if he should cheapen a kiss of her.” Nor does anyone in the film dare to kiss Anne, though some are tempted, none more than Gérard. Her reluctance to submit to him ultimately leads to his death; in that sense, the innocent inadvertently becomes a femme fatale. Nothing But the Place In a statement issued when Paris Belongs to Us was released, Rivette admits being aided by “the detective story form,” in which Anne becomes the investigator protagonist navigating Paris looking for clues, delivering warnings, making connections. She’s the one through whom we realize “at the end of the story” that the denouement will confound any unveiling of the mystery. The last words of Rivette’s statement are “Nothing took place but the place” — which could be the Paris that “belongs to us” or the Paris in the opening epigraph that “belongs to no one.” The same could be said of Pericles and of all the performances of Shakespeare that have come and gone over four centuries. In fact, the first play of his I ever saw in the theatre was Tony Richardson’s production of Pericles. I remember embarrassingly little of the experience (I was 19 at the time), only the shipboard set, and the wind making the timbers creak, and vividly above all else, Marina, a barefoot vision in white with long blonde hair kneeling before her father in that miraculous moment of reunion. he actress, by the way, was Geraldine McEwan (1932-2015), who went from playing Shakespeare’s Marina to the 21st century and Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple. —Stuart Mitchner

CINEMA REVIEW
Bus Driver Writes Poetry in Introspective Character Portrait
P
aterson (Adam Driver), who happens to live in Paterson, New Jersey, is stuck in a rut. By day, the municipal bus driver drives his bus on a boring route in Paterson. After work, he hangs out at a dingy, neighborhood bar where he limits himself to one beer. Then, he heads home to be with his loving wife, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani), and his bulldog, Marvin. Writing is his only escape from the mind-numbing monotony. Whenever he has some free time, he scribbles poetry into a secret notebook that he always carries with him. Laura wants him to make a copy of the journal in case it gets lost or is accidentally destroyed. By comparison, Laura is ambitious. Despite her foreign accent and a lack of musical training, she dreams of becoming a country western singer. So, she wants to purchase a guitar and take lessons that they can’t really afford. Fortunately for her, her husband is too blasé to object to her plans. Resigned to his lot in life, the unassuming blue-collar
hero takes everything in stride, whether dealing with passengers, unwinding with his wife, or schmoozing with the colorful regulars at the local saloon. Thus unfolds Paterson, the latest film from the legendary Jim Jarmusch (Stranger than Paradise). The movie relies upon the dialogue of the script that has become a Jarmusch trademark. The movie is more concerned with character development than with cinematic effects. In the film, Adam Driver successfully tones down his usual over-the-top act in order to play the title role of an undistinguished Average Joe. The picture’s charm rests in the gifted director’s ability to elevate a humble “Everyman” into a personality worthy of a movie audience’s attention. Very Good (HHH). Rated R for profanity. Running time: 118 minutes. Studio: Amazon. Distributor: Bleecker Street Media. —Kam Williams

Exercise programs include yoga and “Stand Tall, Don’t Fall” for balance, points out Ms. Judge. “Strength building and aquatic exercise classes happen daily. Most of the science shows that physical activity, especially aerobic, is very beneficial to mental health. But of course, social programs and games like bridge also help. And, this year, we are launching a new program called the Brain Workout from Total Brain Health LLC. “Science shows that the brain can change,” she adds. “It’s called neuro-plasticity, and people can continue to learn and relearn. For example, we brought in a baton, and asked some of the residents if they had once twirled a baton. Some said yes, but doubted that they could do it now. However, we urged them to try, and with practice, they twirled it again!” Outside Community Residents are encouraged to engage in off-campus projects too, and often attend concerts and plays in Princeton. “We encourage them to be active,” says Ms. Judge. “They live in our community but they are involved in the outside community and work on projects that benefit the wider community.” Stonebridge and its sister senior community Meadow Lakes work hard to make a difference in the lives of their residents. Events are held frequently, and currently, the highly praised National Park Exhibit (in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the official establishment of the National Parks) is on display at Meadow Lakes and open to the public on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 2 p.m. through January. As all the studies show, exercise is a significant part of healthy aging, and Princeton Wellness & Fitness, with locations in Princeton and Plainsboro, is an excellent exercise resource for people of all ages. It provides a comprehensive program of opportunities, including state-of-the-art fitness equipment, pools, sauna, steam room, a variety of exercise classes, and educational lectures and programs. Its standard membership program is also a good fit with seniors, points out Jay Groves, EdD, MMHC, Princeton Fitness & Wellness Centers executive director, Population Health management. It includes quarterly check-ins with the on-site nurse, and bi-monthly checkins with trainers, and “is optimally suited and designed for seniors who may not yet be experiencing a chronic
medical condition. Our variety of exercise equipment, aquatics centers and group fitness classes allow us to provide every form of exercise that a senior might be interested in. In fact, at both of our centers, between 15 percent and 20 percent of our membership is over the age of 65.” For its older members, it also offers specific programs targeted to their needs and goals. “We have a uniquely designed program called Movewell that provides exercise options for seniors living with chronic joint pain or post joint replacement surgery,” explains Mr. Groves. “The Movewell program meets two days a week in a small group format and includes warm water exercise, land-based exercise, and the opportunity to participate in a mind/body movement class of choice. “The MoveWell program is ideally suited to individuals who are transitioning from out-patient physical therapy into a communitybased fitness environment. They may also have specific conditions, such as various forms of chronic arthritis and fibromyalgia.”’ Back To Life Princeton Fitness & Wellness offers other wellness programs for persons living with cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes. “We are also excited to announce a new wellness program at our PincetonPlainsboro center for people living with chronic back pain,” reports Mr. Groves. “It is called ‘Back to Life’ and includes Pilates, land-based exercise, and meditation as a way to help patients with chronic back pain become more functional and active in their daily lives. “T hough t he exercis e prescription for seniors living with any type of chronic medical condition must be personalized, there is good evidence to show that for almost any medical condition, the proper use of exercise and physical activity can be a powerful tool for manag ing one’s health and quality of life. Particularly for the senior population, the right form of exercise is indeed medicine.” Thus, the importance of a continuing exercise program is always emphasized at Princeton Fitness & Wellness. As Mr. Grove points out, “The truth is, you cannot store up physical fitness, and as a consequence, exercise must be for a life-time for all of us. “T he relat ionsh ip be tween mental and physical health is powerful and probably better understood now than ever before,” he adds. “Though we do not

treat mental health conditions at the Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center, we provide a variety of mind/ body movement classes, many of which incorporate meditation, mindfulness, or breath work, which have proven to be powerful tools for managing one’s mood and emotions. “In addition, one of the most u nder-appreciated aspects of exercise is the daily and almost immediate impact it can have on mood and overall energy level. So, particularly for seniors, who can sometimes struggle with age-related mood disorders and loneliness, one of the best forms of ‘medicine’ is exercise. In addition, we work hard at Princeton Fitness & Wellness to know our members by name and create a culture which promotes community, a positive spirit, and brings hope to each member every day.” For seniors, who need physical therapy after surgery or injury, the Princeton area offers numerous facilities. St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center (SLRC) in Lawrenceville has a long history in the region, and offers a full range of services, says Lisa Luskin, MPT, COMT, Out-patient Clinical Director. Variety of Conditions “A large percentage of our out-patients are 65 or older, although we also provide treatment of orthopedic and neurologic conditions in patients 14 and older. Many of the patients we see who are 65 or older are extremely active and in good health overall. “We see quite a variety of conditions at SLRC, as our therapists are skilled and experienced in treating both an orthopedic and neurologic patient population,” continues Ms. Luskin, who is also a physical therapist with certification in vestibular therapy and manual therapy. “Commonly seen post-op conditions include total hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, menisectomies, ACL repairs, and spine surgeries, including fusions and discectomies. “Neurologic conditions include Parkinson’s Disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain injury/brain surgery, and vestibular disorders (dizziness). We also see amputees and multiple trauma patiets (various injuries occurring after a fall or motor vehicle accident as well as chronic orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, low back or neck pain, shoulder pain and osteoporosis. Our occupational therapists and speech therapists address cognitive impairments. Vision deficits and hand conditions are also addressed by occupational therapists.” Whether patients resume an active life-style depends on t heir pr ior level of
f u n c t i o n , e x p l a i n s M s. Luskin. “The large percentage of patients, however, are often able to return to their prior level of function, and experience a significant reduction in pain and impairments. This is what we strive for.” Ms. Luskin adds that continued exercise is crucial. “All patients are trained in and receive a customized home exercise program with written instructions and extensive training to ensure proper form and understanding. This is essential for a patient to maximize their recovery and maintain gains made in therapy.” JAG Physical Therapy recently opened in Forrestal Village, and provides patients with a complete range of PT options. A comprehensive out-patient physical therapy company, it offers physical therapy care for general orthopedic, sports, and soft tissue injuries, workers’ compensation cases, and Medicare Patients, explains John Gallucci, Jr., ATC, PT, DPT, president, JAG Physical Therapy. Individual Goals JAG has 14 locations in New York and central New Jersey. Experienced physical trainers, athletic trainers, and exercise physiologists are available to serve patients with an array of PT needs. Post-op care, general body strengthening and rehabilitation, chronic pain syndromes and fitness services are all available. JAG sees patients of all ages, says Mr. Gallucci — from four years old to 104! “We understand that each patient’s rehabilitation plan, no matter their age, will be unique to their individual goals. Commonly seen conditions in the 65 and older population are arthritis, especially in the knee joint, total hip and knee replacement surgeries, osteoporosis, acute or traumatic injuries, — for example, fractures from slips and falls — and muscle atrophy. “JAG Physical Therapy’s slogan and daily mot to is ‘Get Back the Life You Love’,” continues Mr. Gallucci. “With that being said, the goal of JAG Physical T herapy’s rehabilitation programs is to treat, rehabilitate, recondition, and return the patient to the physically satisfying life-style that they previously enjoyed. Our team emphasizes the importance of early injury recognition as well identifying when a previous injury may be recurring.” Regarding continued exercise, Mr. Gallucci observes that “Even after your physical therapy is over, it’s important to know how to stretch and strengthen your muscles and their supporting structures safely and effectively. This post rehabilitation process is very important and can make the

difference between coming back better than ever or having a major setback in your recovery. “It’s important to recover correctly, and each JAG patient is sent home with an exercise program consisting of exercises that have been taught during their physical therapy session. Strengthening and stretching exercises are very important in maintaining a healthy life-style throughout your life, but may even be more important during the later years of life. “The American College of Sports Medicine now recommends weight training for all people over 50,” continues Mr. Gallucci. The ACSM has reported that ‘by age 50, about 10 percent of muscle area is gone, and after 50, the rate of loss accelerates significantly.’ It has also been estimated that a loss of 15 percent muscle mass per decade, occurs in your sixties and seventies, and then a loss of about 30 percent from your eighties on.” Muscle Mass Muscle atrophy and loss of range of motion occur when the body becomes sedentary, he adds. “Participating in a strength training program not only strengthens the muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones, but it also requires motion of one’s body and joints. Arthritis pain can be combatted by strengthening the structures surrounding the joints to aid in joint movement and increasing range of motion and flexibility.” In addition, he points out “lifting weights in conjunction with a healthy diet is a great way to shed a few of those unwanted pounds all while gaining strength and muscle mass. A strength training program has also been shown to benefit those who have Type 2 diabetes by aiding in keeping their glucose levels under control.” With any exercise program, it is important to start slowly and follow the trainer’s advice, emphasizes Mr. Gallucci. “Remember that ‘too much, too soon’ is the number one cause of injuries during exercise. Start your program slowly and learn the motions of the exercise before adding weight. Strength training is becoming more and more popular for the older population, he adds. “This is due not only to the number of physical benefits but also to

the increased sense of independence and confidence a strong healthy body provides. Remember to consult with your physician, start off slow, take breaks when needed, and you will be well on your way to a healthier life-style.” Looking good is appealing at any age, and along with fitness, exercise and working out at the gym, many older individuals are opting for cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance. No one wants to look tired if they aren’t tired, and there are varied ways to address such concerns today. In addition to surgery, many other methods and opportunities are now available to help create a refreshed and revitalized appearance. Eugenie Brunner, M.D., P.A. is a specialist in plastic surgery and also otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), and has practiced in Princeton for 19 years. A graduate, with honors, from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School-The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, she continued training at New York University, with an otolaryngology residence. She then pursued advanced studies in facial plastic surgery at the University of Toronto under the auspices of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Greatest Pleasure She found that her greatest pleasure was in plastic surgery. “This is what I really loved. I love the surgical and the artistic part of working with my hands.” Dr. Brunner helps people of all ages, but a large portion of her practice is the older population. “A lot of my patients are in their sixties, seventies, and eighties,” she notes. “I don’t even think of them as seniors. They are so active and involved. Many are still in the work force, and they want to look refreshed and revitalized. They are both men and women, and they are often working along side people in their twenties, thirties and forties, so they want to look better and feel better at work. Not younger necessarily, but looking refreshed, less tired, and maybe appearing just a bit older than their colleagues.” Surgery is still an option, of course, for people sixty, seventy, and eighty, says Dr. Brunner, but non-surgical
procedures are increasingly popular, and there are many options for patients. “The new opportunities and technology are amazing,” she reports. “We can help someone on so many different levels. For example, I have 12 different laser treatments today.” Laser procedures, fillers such as Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse are all important choices today, as well as various peels. They help smooth the texture of the skin, reduce dark spots and pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, scarring, and in the case of laser procedures, even tighten the skin along the jaw line and under the chin. “Laser treatments can be used around the eyes to reduce crepiness and lines,” she adds. “Botox is typically used to reduce the ‘frown’ lines between the eyebrows and Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse can soften the naso-labial folds from the nose to the mouth. Better Care “Peels can help smooth the texture of the skin, and laser treatments now can be used instead of peels. Deep laser treatments are used fro resurfacing and can help pigments and even encourage development of new collagen.” People of all ages are more aware of health generally, notes Dr. Brunner. “They’re living longer and taking better care of themselves and being proactive. They are using sun block and having facials, which are beneficial to the skin.” She points out that the non - surgical treatments do not replace a face lift, however. “My job is to present a realistic assessment. Everyone is different, with different goals, but the nonsurgical treatments can be very helpful in achieving a fresher, smoother look.” Of course, individuals have different attitudes about aging and appearance. However, outward appearance can affect inner feelings and self-esteem, and Dr. Brunner can offer an opportunity for improved appearance for those who wish it. “There is great satisfaction and pleasure in helping people to look and feel better. I want to be able to fulfill my patients’ hopes and expectations, and achieve good results.” —Jean Stratton

As her mother’s condition deteriorated, Grounds For Sculpture became a primary getaway for Lillian and Mark providing a sanctuary, a mini vacation for a day. Tom Glover, the local historian and archivist at the Hamilton Township Public Library, deepened their understanding of the history of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Tom shared archival newspaper articles that dated back to 1870, as well as his own personal experiences at the fair.

Bruce Daniels, Project Manager for the Atlantic Foundation, provided access to the Foundation’s archival photographs documenting the evolution of the park. He allowed reproduction of several images for display in the exhibit and related many stories about the early days of GFS. This added breadth and depth to images from the park’s inception to recent sculptural and botanical installations. Perhaps the most significant information gleaned from spending time with David Burchell, Tom Glover, and Bruce Daniels was that, with the exception of a few trees and the three original buildings (the Motor Exhibit Building, the Domestic Arts Building, and the “Rabbit Building”), nearly every architectural, landscape, and artistic element was transported and strategically placed in the park.

The exhibition showcases the dramatic evolution of the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds into Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) beginning in 1984 when the Atlantic Foundation purchased 12 overgrown and neglected acres of the old fairgrounds property adjacent to the Seward Johnson Atelier. From this desolate site emerged founder Seward Johnson’s dream of a park that would become an oasis and respite for all visitors. His goal of creating a place where contemporary sculpture would be accessible to everyone continues today. For L illian Ciuf f reda, Grounds For Sculpture holds a particular significance that
This year’s Winter Festival focuses on the pure and glorious musicianship of the legendary Pinchas Zukerman.

joint announcement by the IAS and the Trust, through its Campaign 1776 initiative to protect Revolutionary War battlefields, ended the dispute after more than 13 years of wrangling, and, even more surprising, all sides were happy with the results. “Af ter extensive confidential negotiations,” CWT President Jim Lighthizer stated, “we and the Institute came to terms on a mutually acceptable agreement in which they agreed not only to limit the size and scope of their development. They agreed to sell us the most historically significant portion of Maxwell’s Field, plus a critical one-acre tract that was not even on the table previously.” The Institute agreed to sell 14.85 acres to the Trust for $4 million, with the land eventually to be transferred to the State of New Jersey and incor porated in the Battlefield Park. The agreement required the IAS to condense and reconfigure its faculty housing project, with eight town houses replacing seven single-family homes, for a total of 16 new residences. The official transfer of property to the Trust is scheduled for the end of June, with the agreement going into effect after all necessary project approvals have been received. A joint statement from IAS director Robbert Dijkgraaf and Mr. Lighthizer stated, “We are delighted to reach this agreement, which both meets the needs of the Institute and ensures the preservation of this site through an enlarged and revitalized Princeton Battlefield State Park.”
Mr.Dijkgraaf emphasized the Institute’s concern for historic and preservation issues: “As part of our original faculty housing plan, the Institute expressed commitment to working with stakeholders in the preservation and commemoration of the Battle of Princeton and its role in the American Revolution. We are confident that this new plan and partnership will enhance the experience of the park for all who visit.” Noting that discussions between IAS and CWT began in earnest last September, Institute Communications Director Christine Ferrara pointed out that “we had a mutual interest in collaborating on finding the best possible way forward. We’re really happy that this came together as it did and that we could provide the land for the enhancement of the battlefield.” She added that the reduced-size plan still meets the Institute’s housing needs. “This agreement is the very definition of a mutually beneficial solution,” stated CWT Communications Manager Meg Martin. The new project plan protects 15 acres of battlefield land, but still enables the Institute to meet its faculty housing needs. The Institute will be able to maintain the sense of community that helps foster academic advancement, and the defining land of the Battle of Princeton will be preserved.” PBS, which reviewed the final agreement, was pleased that the compromise would preserve most of Maxwell’s Field, along with an additional parcel of more than an acre within the core of the battlefield. PBS lawyer Bruce Afran stated that he
had suggested to Institute lawyers early in 2016 the idea of limiting the project to townhouses at the margin of the site in order to free up and preserve the major part. “I think it is clear,” he said, “that both sides felt that the conflict had gone on long enough and both felt it was time to find a solution that would allow some housing while preserving the bulk of the site. So the townhouses emerged as a smaller, well screened project that would leave the bulk for preservation and future public access.” Contending that the PBS “was the driving force that led to this agreement,” Mr. Afran added, “T he PB S stuck with it and continued the litigation. We litigated and came to a fair compromise. Litigation can yield good results.” Ms. Martin noted that the Trust’s current fundraising campaign for the property includes money for restoration and that they would be relying as much as possible on primary sources, archaeological resources, and wartime records. She further pointed out that involvement of PBS and the State Park would be crucial in working to restore the landscape to its wartime appearance, integrate it into the park and plan for its interpretation. In a letter urging support for the ongoing Princeton Battlefield project and the “miraculous opportunity at Princeton,” Mr. Lighthizer stated, “This is one of, if not ‘the’ most momentous, historic,and — dare I say — ‘revolutionary’ victories in the history of battlefield preservation!” —Donald Gilpin

more than 15 years,” said Mr. Miller, who has previously served as deputy mayor and mayor of the former Township. “I have never viewed this as a career, but as a vocation, and I thank you for giving me the privilege of doing it.” Councilwoman Jo Butler praised the town’s police department for their work during the past year. She also suggested the governing body work with other towns and communities on key issues. Outgoing Council president Lance Liverman gave high marks to Princeton’s youth leadership program. A member of the former Civil Rights Commission that used to exist in the town, Mr. Liverman said he was pleased that it is being revived. Ms. Crumiller spoke about public works issues and also emphasized the importance of curbing speeding in town. Mr. Quinn, who will serve as a liaison to the Civil Rights Commission, said he hoped to make Princeton more bike-friendly. January 9 Meeting With alarming increases in annual precipitation due to extreme weather and a marked rise in development, Princeton needs to take action to curb the effects of storm water management, accord i ng to Ji m Wa ltman, director of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association. Mr. Waltman did not mince words in his presentation, which was accompanied by charts and figures. “I think Princeton has a really big problem on its hands,” he said. “And that
problem requires bold action.” Adding impervious surfaces when developments go up fundamentally changes the landscape, he added, creating more runoff with no place for the water to go. “This is not rocket science. We’re going to get more flooding unless we take dramatic action,” he said. While efforts to combat the problem have increased in recent years, it’s not enough. The water pollution created by storm water runoff is “a witch’s brew of stuff from our daily life,” he said. Municipalities need to take an active role in addressing the problem. Storm water regulations adopted by New Jersey in 2004 only address large-scale developments of over 11,000 square feet, “not making the existing problem any better,” Mr. Waltman said. Municipalities can adopt more stringent standards, for much smaller developments. “You can go one better,” he said. Rain gardens such as the one at the Stony Brook-Millstone location in Pennington and another at the PNC Bank in Princeton Shopping Center are another solution to the problem. Mr. Waltman said that nine municipalities in New Jersey have created “Minor Development” categories, and urged that Princeton do the same. —Anne Levin Copies of the current

Displaying Its Experience in Crunch Time, PU Men’s Hoops Weathers Storm to Beat Penn
E
ven though the Princeton University men’s basketball team jumped out to a 39-18 lead against visiting Penn early in the second half last Saturday evening, Mitch Henderson knew that game was far from over. “It just felt like to me a Penn-PU game,” said Princeton head coach Henderson, who starred for the Tigers in the late 1990s. “I have been in quite a few of these things. They were doing all kinds of stuff, whatever it took and we were trying to do the same.” Sure enough, the Quakers rallied, going on a 26-5 run to knot the game at 4444 with 7:01 remaining in regulation in the Ivy League opener for both teams. “They make this great run, making some tough shots,” said Henderson “I knew that all of those shots were going in.” Henderson called a timeout at that point in an
effort to stem the Penn tide. “I was trying to keep everyone calm, it was a hell of a run,” said Henderson. “It is really hard to come back and win but that one had all the marks of a team that was going to. It was swinging really heavily their way.” With snow falling outside, Princeton weathered the storm inside, outscoring Penn 17-8 down the stretch to pull out a 61-52 win before a hardy crowd of 2,814 at Jadwin Gym as it improved to 8-6 overall and 1-0 Ivy. “I really think Devin’s shot broke the ice for us and then we were able to get one stop and that three in the corner was huge,” said Henderson, referring to a jumper from the corner by Devin Cannady that put Princeton up 46-44 and a three-pointer from Myles Stephens 33 seconds later that made it a 49-44 game. “We really regained our footing and found a way to

get it done. I am really happy for our guys and pleased with a good win to start the league.” Cannady acknowledged that some defensive lapses by the Tigers helped Penn find their way back into the contest. “We lost some shooters, they shoot the ball well and they have some guys who can work inside and really attack,” said Cannady. “They have good shooters and when that is the case, you have to have your hand up and contest the shot as much as possible and we weren’t doing that.” Picking up the intensity at both ends after Penn made it 44-44 proved key for the Tigers down the stretch. “It was just buckle down on defense, get stops and run kids off the line,” said sophomore guard Cannady, who scored a team-high 16 points in the win. “We have been there before. We rep in practice those situations so when it was tied we decided to just play.” No matter what the situation is, Cannady is confident the Tigers can come through. “We just stay together; we all know that we are a unit,” said Cannady. “Whether we are up 21, down 21, or tied, it is stick together and keep playing basketball the way we know how to play and
hopefully we will end up on top.” Junior guard Amir Bell was proud of the way Princeton kept things together in the face of the Penn surge. “We just did a great job as a team when they made that run,” said Bell. “I think we had that type of fortitude to stick with everything.” Showing fortitude, Bell came off the bench to score 12 points and get four rebounds in 24 minutes of action. “I just tried to come and be aggressive,” added Bell. “I tried to help the team win in any way possible.” Henderson was pleased with the way his team started the game as it built a 34-17 lead at halftime. “I thought we played really well in the first half; the guys were really focused on what we needed to do to stop them,” said Henderson. “The guys did a great job. It is a very difficult team to guard, they have been playing very well, they are much improved.” I n H e n d e r s o n ’s v i e w, Penn’s guarding ended up making things difficult for Princeton. “I thought they did a good job of changing things defensively,” said Henderson. “They gave us some interesting looks and it affected what we were doing. Our shot selection got a little worse which then affected our transition defense and they made some really nice plays. I don’t think we were doing anything different; they were making plays. They outplayed us.” Over the last seven minutes of the contest, Princeton used its experience to make the difference.

and Pete (Miller). Even though Steve didn’t play a whole lot of minutes, he had that and-one, understanding that you need to go to the rim. It takes the tension out of the game. Spencer is calming me down during the game. This is a senior driven league.” —Bill Alden

Gabrielle Rush was a member of the supporting cast last winter for the Princeton University women’s basketball team in her freshman season. The 5’10 guard from Hinsdale, Ill. made 16 appearances off the bench, scoring 39 points. With Princeton losing five key seniors to graduation, Rush was ready to assume a leading role this winter in her sophomore campaign. “The opportunities were here this year so I feel like I have had a mindset shift earlier this season,” said Rush. “I feel like I can be that person that can get someone else a shot or get a shot. Last year that didn’t really fall on me.” Last Saturday in the Ivy League opener against visiting Penn, Rush got a lot of shots to fall, scoring a career-high 15 points. In the waning moments of the contest, however, Rush missed a 3-pointer as Penn rallied to pull out a 62-57 victory before a crowd of 857 at Jadwin Gym.
“I think it comes a lot with playing with my teammates more and more and them being able to find me in spots where I can be the most successful,” said Rush, in assessing her progress as she is now averaging 6.0 points a game. “A few more shots dropped today than have been in the past. I would have liked that one at the end but it was a good look and my teammates got it for me.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Courtney Banghart likes the way Rush is progressing. “Rush was mostly a practice player last year; she wasn’t even ready to help us two months ago because she didn’t have the mindset,” said Banghart. “She plays because she is competitive, she has really gotten herself better.” The youthful Tigers competed hard against defending Ivy champion Penn, leading 44 - 41 af ter t hree quarters and locked in a 51-51 tie with 4:05 remaining in regulation before sputtering down the stretch as a seniorladen Quaker squad ended
the game on an 11-6 run. “For these young guys to come out on this stage and execute our tempo and play the way we wanted to play, we have a lot to build on, for sure,” said Banghart, whose team dropped to 6-8 overall and 0-1 Ivy. “Their seniors made big plays late and ours didn’t. T h at i s h o w t h e g a m e goes.” P r inceton’s top you ng player, freshman star Bella Alarie, made an impressive Ivy debut, scoring a gamehigh 17 points. “I think Bella can play better; it is pretty awesome when you have a freshman who can score 17 and her assist-turnover ratio is pretty flat and you say she can play better,” said Banghart of Alarie, who leads the Tigers in scoring (12.0 points a game) and rebounding (7.5 a game) and was later named the Ivy Rookie of the Week for her performance. “That is how good I feel about her. I think she is only going to continue to get better. Her shot will get quicker, she will crash the glass
better, she will communicate better defensively.” Alarie, for her part, enjoyed her first taste of Ivy competition. “I think it is definitely a huge fire with our team; we came out and it was rough in the first couple of minutes but once we made that shift mentally, we played with all of our energy,” said Alarie, reflecting on a slow start which saw Princeton trailing 10-2 four minutes into the contest. “Our bench was so excited. Everyone on the court was jumping and celebrating each other. It was awesome to experience that. I wish we could have gotten the win but there is something really special about it being Ivy play. It is our rival, it is competitive. I really loved it.” With the Ivy League having instituted a postseason tournament this year that will include the top four teams in the regular season standings, Banghart pointed out that the loss to Penn didn’t have the impact it might have had in the past. “I was almost late to the game because I was shoveling snow in the driveway; I was sort of like whatever, this game is one of 14 and if you win enough you play
in the tournament,” said Banghart. “I don’t think anyone is writing us into the tournament, we have got to earn it. We have no false illusion that the tournament has a name and plaque in the locker room waiting for us. We know that these young guys have to get better for us to get there.” Banghart saw some good signs from the fact that her callow squad battled a veteran Penn team tooth-andnail for 40 minutes. “That is the exact same team that we played last year and my team is one that you guys have to introduce yourself to and we could have won that game easily,” said Banghart. “We could have played better so that gives me a ton of motivation.”
ONLINE www.towntopics.com
With Princeton hosting Brown (9-4 overall) on January 13 and Yale (9-4 overall) on January 14, Banghart will be looking for her team to play better. “Next weekend, we have t wo good teams coming into Jadwin; you have to win home games and so far we are 0-1 at home so that’s not great,” said Banghart. “It keeps you motivated to get better; they have to play through reading period and exams. It is just a little more adversity than they have had.” Rush, for her part, is motivated to help the Tigers do better in the wake of the tough loss to Penn. “Like coach says I am extremely competitive,” said Rush. “I like to win and hate this.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Hoops Edged by Penn in Ivy Opener, But Young Squad Heading in the Right Direction
TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, JANuARY 11, 2017 • 24
PU Women’s Hockey Extends Unbeaten Streak to 8, Posting a Weekend Sweep of Dartmouth, Harvard As the Princeton University women’s hockey team struggled to a 5-6-1 start this season, one of the low points came in mid-November when the Tigers fell 3-2 in overtime to previously winless Dartmouth. But having started to right the ship in December, the Tigers brought a six-game unbeaten streak into its rematch with Dartmouth last Friday, primed to turn the tables on the Big Green. Princeton came out firing, outshooting Dartmouth 17-2 in the first period in taking a 1-0 lead. The Tigers never let up, pulling away to a 4-0 win, building a 44-10 edge in shots. “ We p l a y e d aw e s o m e against Dartmouth; I think
they remembered what happened when we played at Dartmouth earlier on and they were looking to play a lot better than they did that day,” said Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal. “I thought our kids were really fast, they moved the puck really well. They possessed it for a lot of the game. They scored some nice goals, they defended hard. It was a really good all around performance.” Fre s h m a n defe n s e m a n Claire Thompson produced an awesome game against the Big Green, chipping in three assists to give her 17 points on the year as she now has five goals and 12 assists. “Claire has subtly crept up
as our fourth leading scorer,” said Kampersal, who got two goals from Carly Bullock against Dartmouth with Karlie Lund and Cassidy Tucker adding one apiece. “She looks like she is playing with more confidence, enjoying it more, and getting into a regular rhythm. I know we moved her around a little bit between forward and defense but she is a defenseman. She moved the puck well, had good shots on goal. I thought she played really solid.” A day later against Harvard, the Tigers took a while to find a rhythm, trailing 1-0 after two periods before pulling out a 2-1 victory. “We didn’t play well in terms of our urgency and awareness, it wasn’t like it was against Dartmouth and Quinnipiac (a 3-2 win on January 1),” said Kampersal, who got 32 saves from freshman goalie Steph Neatby in the win as the Tigers moved to 12-6-2 overall and 8-4-1 ECAC Hockey. “Neatby was awesome, she kept us in the game. She literally won that game for us, without a doubt. Then we were able to score in the mid-third and ( Kiersten ) Falck got a power play goal to win it. We will take it, not playing our best against a good team and moving on.” With Princeton now having gone unbeaten in its last eight games (7-0-1 since a 4-3 loss at Boston University on November 26), Kampersal believes his team is getting in synch. “I think people are settling into roles more,” said Kampersal. “We have a little bit of rhythm. We have gotten solid goal tending. We have gotten all of our players back so we have a

full roster now. It is a combination of everything. We have played a little more determined. It has worked. We have gotten bounces our way before the streak. I thought we were legitimately beating ourselves with turnovers and things like that. We are not doing that now.” The Tigers will need to come up with some more d e te r m i n e d ef for t s t h i s weekend as they play at Cornell (9-5-1 overall, 6-2-1 ECACH) on January 13 and at Colgate (15-3-3 overall, 6-2-1 ECACH) a day later. “Cornell is very good, I thought they were one of the better teams we have played all year when they came to us,” said Kampersal, whose team lost 2-1 to Cornell while rolling to a 7-2 win over Colgate in games played in November at Baker Rink. “It will be a good test. They have a lot of players coming back from a Hockey Canada team that just played over in Germany so they will be strong. Colgate will be ready for us after our game last time. They only have a few losses so they have had an amazing season. They have amazing scorers ; we just hope that we match whatever they bring.” —Bill Alden

For the Princeton High boys’ hockey team, last Friday was a date that had been circled on its calendar for a while. It marked the first meeting this season between PHS and perennial Colonial Valley Conference (CVC) powerhouse Notre Dame, which hadn’t lost to a conference foe since falling to the Little Tigers in the Mercer County Tournament championship game in 2011. With PHS entering the game with a 9-0-2 record, Max Garlock and his Little Tiger teammates felt that they had what it took to snap Notre Dame’s 81- game w inning st reak against CVC foes. “When we played Notre Dame and lost in the county semis last year, that was rough,” said PHS junior defenseman Garlock. “I think we definitely came back and we knew that we were going to get it.” With the Mercer County Park rink packed and buzzing for the long-awaited clash, PHS got in an early hole as they fell behind 1-0 just over four minutes into the contest. Garlock, though, wasn’t concerned by the early deficit. “I knew we would get it right back up,” said Garlock. “It is like when we played Wall last week, we were down 5-2 and we still came back.” About five minutes later, PHS answered as freshman star Rocco Salvato scored to make it 1-1. In the second period, each team got two goals, with Garlock assisting on a Brendon McCormick goal late in the frame. With the rivals knotted at 3-3 coming into the third, Garlock came up with another assist, setting up a goal by Aidan Trainor with 8:49 left in regulation. After holding off a valiant charge
by a desperate Notre Dame squad, that goal proved to be the difference as the Little Tigers prevailed 4-3, triggering a raucous post-game celebration with the PHS players jumping all over each other on the ice. “Freshman year, we got smoked, last year we were building it up and we were closer,” said a beaming Garlock, reflecting on the triumph. “It is unbelievable, I don’t know how to describe it. I have played hockey for 11 years and I have never had a win like this before.” The PHS defensive unit, which featured junior transfer Nick Ashcroft and senior co-captains Tooker Callaway and Eamonn McDonald along with Garlock, played a key role in the win. “It was nice with Nick Ashcroft coming back and Tooker (Callaway) off the injury,” said Garlock. “We were fully loaded. This is the first game we have played with everybody here so definitely that factored into it and I really enjoyed it.” Garlock enjoyed setting up senior star McCormick for PHS’s third goal. “I was just sending it to the net,” said Garlock. “I may not have the greatest shot but I get it through.” On the game-winning goal, Garlock sent the puck through to the team’s top line of McCormick and precocious freshmen stars, Rocco Salvato and Aidan Trainor. “I saw movement, especially from our top offensive line, they are good,” said Garlock. “We have two freshmen and a senior. They have played one year together and they definitely have the chemistry.” In Garlock’s view, team
chemistry has been the key ingredient in PHS’s sizzling 10-0-2 start. “Everybody does something; it doesn’t matter how old, what skill level you are, whether you are in the stands, on the bench or on the ice,” asserted Garlock. “Everyone is coming in together and that is what is special about this team.” PHS head coach Terence Miller sensed that Friday would be a special evening for his team. “ T h e at m o s p h e r e w a s great; we had a great turnout from our school, everyone was looking forward to this game,” said Miller. “Back to our first team meeting in September, we talked about playing Notre Dame. We were certainly looking forward to this and I was happy that we put on a good performance.” While not wanting to put extra pressure on his players, Miller believed that PHS was primed to derail Notre Dame. “A lot of people were kind of hyping us up from the beginning of the year but we knew that we were still the underdog in this game,” said Miller. “These guys have won 81 straight so we know they have a good team over there. We felt a little added incentive to be the team that can knock them off so it is gratifying to get this one.” The Little Tigers showed resilience, battling back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits over the
course of the heated contest. “It was nice to get that one back, we always try to get the first goal to get ourselves moving,” said Miller. “We didn’t tonight so it was nice to be able to come back. We fell behind a few times. The second period was wild, back and forth.” It has been nice for Miller to see the production he has been getting from his top line. “Aidan and Rocco have the poise and maturity of seniors; they certainly don’t act, play, or behave like freshmen,” said Miller, who got two goals from Salvato in the win with Trainor chipping in a goal and two assists and McCormick contributing a goal and an assist. “To have them is a luxury. We couldn’t be happier with the way they blend in with Brendon on that line.”
Miller was also happy with the play of his team in the defensive zone as goalie Sawyer Peck made 18 saves and his corps of defensemen, McDonald, Ashcroft, Callaway, and Garlock, used rugged play to help thwart the Irish. “They were coming strong and Sawyer held it down,” said Miller. “Nick and Max played well. We tried to zero in on a couple of their top scorers. All four defensemen that played tonight were solid.” With PHS facing Notre Dame on January 11 in a rematch and the county and state tournaments around the corner, Miller believes the Little Tigers can build on the big victory last Friday. “ T h i s i s probably t h e most gratifying regular season win, certainly in my

Furniture
tenure,” asserted Miller. “I couldn’t be more happy with the effort; things are coming together. We are thrilled with the win but we are right back to work. We have these guys again in five days and the playoffs is the most important thing.” In Garlock’s view, the squad will be ready for round two with Notre Dame as it looks to lay the foundation for a postseason run. “It is going to be another challenge and hopefully we will face it, just like we did this one,” said Garlock. “We see us building. Last year was a little bit of a bummer, going to Mendham and losing in states. This year we can definitely do some damage. I am looking forward to it.” —Bill Alden

PHS Boys’ Hockey Snaps Notre Dame’s CVC Streak As Star Defenseman Garlock Plays Pivotal Role

PDS Girls’ Hoops Shows Fight in Loss to Hun, Aims to Keep Progressing in Home Stretch Trailing 26-15 at halftime against visiting Hun School last Thursday, the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team wasn’t about to throw in the towel against its crosstown rival. “We talked it over at halftime and the girls decided that we weren’t going to get slaughtered,” said PDS head coach Kamau Bailey, noting that his team was missing some key players for the contest due to injury and sickness. “We were going to put up a fight.” The Panthers ended up putting Hun on its heels, utilizing pressure defense to go on a 13-8 run to start the fourth quarter and narrow the gap to 37-34 before
falling 46-36. “Once I figured out that their offense revolved arou nd t hos e t wo players (Hun’s Jada Jones and Alexis Harvell), we focused on them and that is what really helped get us back in the game,” said Bailey. “Once Jones gave up the ball, we tried to not let her get it back. We forced the ball to girls on their weak hand and tried to do some adjustments to get back into the game.” Junior guard Bridget Kane helped trigger the comeback, ending up with a team-high 10 points. “Bridget did really well; she led with her defensive
SHOOTING STAR: Princeton Day School girls’ basketball player Bridget Kane puts up a jump shot in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, junior guard and team captain Kane scored 10 points to help PDS edge Princeton High 38-32. On Monday, Kane scored eight points in a losing cause as the Panthers fell 48-42 to Pennington. PDS, now 4-6, hosts Kings Christian on January 11 and Lawrenceville on January 16.

intensity,” said Bailey of Kane. “One of the balls got away from her on defense and from that moment on, she was really aggressive. She hit some nice 3s and really just led. She is a captain for a reason; she has great leadership. She comes from a basketball family (father, Ron Kane, is the longtime coach of the Lawrenceville School boys’s hoops team) and you can see that on the floor. I feel like I have an extra coach out there with Bridget Kane, which is awesome.” The Panthers have been getting awesome play from junior star Ryan Robinson. “Ryan has been consistent throughout the whole season, playing with a lot of intensity,” said Bailey of Robinson, who had a huge game last Saturday in a 3832 win at Princeton High as she scored 19 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. “She takes the ball to the basket hard and has developed quite a good jump shot in the last couple of years. She is also one of my leaders. The work she has done in the offseason on her jump shot has really helped us because in the past, teams were able to just play her drive. She is more confident with her shot.” A pair of promising freshmen, Carly Kunkle and Riley Felsher, showed their growing confidence in the game against Hun. “Carly and Riley are freshmen who really stepped up; they both scored a couple of buckets today at times when were having difficulty scoring,” said Bailey. “They came through, these are shots, a few games ago, they weren’t taking or hitting.” In Bailey’s view, the team’s fight back in the defeat to the Raiders was a definite step in the right direction. “It was a confidence builder, the girls are all positive in the locker room; we feel like it is a victory because we made some progress,” said Bailey, whose team fell 48-42 to Pennington last Monday to move to 4-6 and will look to get back on the winning track when it hosts Kings Christian on January 11 and Lawrenceville on January 16. “When we make progress, I always look at that as a victory for a team like us. We were down quite a few girls so for us to play that way under those conditions is excellent.” —Bill Alden
Sparked by Lisk’s Clutch Goal Scoring, PDS Boys’ Hockey On Winning Track Ryan Lisk isn’t the biggest, fastest, or most skilled forward on the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team. But while Lisk doesn’t stand out, his wily play in the crease has helped him emerge as a clutch goal scorer for PDS. In a 2-2 tie w ith Don Bosco in late December, junior Lisk scored both goals for the Panthers as they rallied from a 2-0 deficit. Last Wednesday, Lisk did it again, scoring both goals for PDS as it battled Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) to a 2-2 tie through regulation and overtime before prevailing in a dramatic shootout. In reflecting on his recent surge, Lisk credited it to the chemistry he has developed with linemates, sophomore Coby Auslander and sophomore Ty Eastman. “I have been playing with Coby for a while but putting Ty Eastman there, he adds size and honestly we just clicked,” said Lisk. “Ty, Coby, and I all do our jobs, getting the pucks to the net and seeing if we can get a lucky bounce.” In the game against Wyoming, the trio got PDS on the board 30 seconds into the contest as Lisk benefitted from a lucky bounce on a shot that trickled into the net. “We just work on those odd-man rushes; we try to get the puck on net and see if we can get rebounds out there,” said Lisk. “I was shooting it forward, trying to get it in Ty’s stick but I guess it went in.” The game was tied at 1-1 after one period but PDS was on its heels for most of the second as it was outshot 15-10 in the frame, keeping the game tied due to sparkling work in goal by senior star Logan Kramsky. “O ur f irs t per io d was great; it was even,” said Lisk. “We kind of lost it in the second period. With the captains in the room and everybody trying to support the team and battling behind Logan, we just came out and we were flying.” Lisk came out flying in the third, swooping in and finding the back of the net on a breakaway to give the Panthers a 2-1 lead with 16:17 left in regulation. Wyoming answered with a tally and the game headed into a fiveminute overtime tied at 2-2 with the teams playing 3-on3 in the extra session under Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL) rules. “It is kind of weird going into 3-on-3,” said Lisk. “We did it in practice and everything. We had momentum in the third when we tied it up. Everybody was piping up on the bench. We got in there and just tried to play our best.” The contest was still tied after overtime and the teams went to a shootout to decide a winner. On Wyoming’s first shot, goalie Kramsky broke a skate and was replaced by back-up Boris Gorelenkov. The junior stepped up, making some key saves with senior Ian Zyvith tallying the clinching goal after several rounds of the shootout to give PDS the victory. “We have got a great team, we are deep in all lines and in the goalies,” said Lisk,
reflecting on the dramatic conclusion to the game. “It is just great. Boris steps in does his job, does what he needs to do, makes some big saves. Logan and everybody in the locker room is glad that we had Boris to back us up.” In Lisk’s view, PDS made a major statement with the win. “That is a good team over there,” said Lisk. “They are really good, they are physical. That is some street cred on the ice when teams come up to play us or we go to play them.” PDS head coach Scott Bertoli knew his squad faced a very good test in the matchup against Wyoming. “We hadn’t played a game in two weeks and we knew they were a tough group,” said Bertoli. “We had a really good battle with them a month ago and lost in OT (3-2 on December 10). We are familiar with their style of play, they are an older, physical group which can definitely challenge us. We also felt like our speed and our skill level was our greatest asset and something that we needed to take advantage of.” With his team getting worn down by Wyoming’s physicality in the second period, Bertoli urged his team to be tougher down the stretch. “I simply told them you are not playing a bad game but we need to be tougher,” said Bertoli. “I love the way the other team is playing, they are playing to their strengths. They are a big physical team and that is the way the game is supposed to be played. It is a tough game and we got to man up. We can’t use the excuse that we are tired or had a two-week layoff or they are older, bigger and stronger. You have got to go in and compete for those 50/50 pucks and play to our strengths, play in transition, and get going in the cycle.” Bertoli likes the way Lisk has been going at the offensive end in recent play. “Ryan is very opportunistic, he will go a whole game and you will not notice the
kid; not that he is doing anything wrong,” said Bertoli. “He plays the game the right way. You give him a puck in those scoring areas and the kid has a heck of a shot and a knack for the net. He does a lot of good things, especially in the offensive zone. He scored the last four goals for us in regulation against really good competition so that line has been doing well.” The compete level of Gorelenkov under such trying circumstances in the shootout impressed Bertoli. “What I give Boris credit for is that he is a confident kid,” said Bertoli. “He was ready to go and he was excited for the opportunity. As I called down the bench, he was ready. He did a heck of a job.” Looking ahead, Bertoli is confident that the Panthers will take advantage of any opportunities. “I like the group and the fact that I think at times we can be resilient,” said Bertoli, whose team defeated Hun 5-1 last Monday to improve to 8-4-2 and host the Hill School (Pa.) on January 11 before heading to New England to face Northfield Mount Hermon (Mass.) on January 13 at Amherst College and play at the Pomfret School (Conn.) on January 15. “I told them January, as far as the schedule goes, is brutal. If we are not willing to dig in and compete and play a hard game and be willing to play teams that are going to play a hard, physical game against us, we are going to struggle. Having that game early against maybe the most physical and the biggest group we are going to play, I thought was great for us to battle through and find a way to win.” Lisk, for his part, is primed for the battles to come. “We all understand that it is good competition all the time and we are not going to get any lucky breaks here,” said Lisk. “It is just our mindset. We have to go into every game, thinking that we are going to play the best team on our schedule and that is what we have got to do.” —Bill Alden

Last winter, Kyle Mandleur made an impact for the Hun School boys’ hockey team as a freshman by virtue of his imposing 6’3 frame and a powerful shot. Coming into his sophomore campaign, Mandleur was dedicated to becoming a more well-rounded player. “I worked on skating over the summer, thinking I need to get to work as a sophomore,” said Mandleur. “I was just working on everything over the summer, trying to get better as a player.” Last week against St. Joseph High (Metuchen), Mandleur showed his progress as a player, tallying a goal and an assist to help Hun overcome an early 2-0 deficit and pull out a 3-2 win. Even though Hun surrendered two unanswered goals in the 12 minutes of the contest, the Raiders weren’t fazed. “O u r c a p t a i n s ( B l a ke Brown and Tanner Preston) are really good on the bench,” said Mandleur. “They just got in our ear and started saying we are better than this team, we can play with them; we just turned around as a team.” Mandleur helped spark the turnaround, assisting Brown on a power play goal early in the second to cut St.
Joseph’s lead in half. “It is something we work on at practice where we see the seam and Blake made a good play to get to the net,” recalled Mandleur. “I just had to put it in the area and he buried it.” Just over two minutes into the third period, Mandleur buried one himself ripping a one-timer into the top of the net to knot the game at 2-2. “It was important to get that game tied, everyone started getting some energy and that is how we won the game,” said Mandleur. The Raiders pulled out the win when Brown scored his second goal of the contest with 8:18 left in regulation. “I think it was just believing in ourselves that we can go out there and play with any team and this is what it was,” said Mandleur. “We started getting some confidence.” Hun head coach Ian McNa l l y i s c o n f i d e nt t h at Mandleur can be a force for the Raiders. “Mandleur has the tools to be a very dominant player, certainly around here,” said McNally. “He is just on the cusp. He is big, strong, he can handle the puck, and he can shoot. I fully expect a goal and an
MAN POWER: Hun School boys’ hockey player Kyle Mandleur controls the puck in a game last season.

assist out of him every game because he is good enough to do it. If he doesn’t get that, we are kind of disappointed.” I n M c N a l l y ’s v i e w, Mandleur gave a vivid display of his skills on his assists and goals. “It was a very good power play look which is nice, we haven’t had a power play goal in a while,” said McNally. “We said going into the third that if we get a chance, try to get it in and throw it high on the glove side and that is exactly what he did. He waited for the guy to slide. He is a pretty pure goal scorer.” Senior stalwart Brown has been Hun’s most consistent goal scorer. “We were away at tournament and I said Blake you have been in on 18 of our 25 goals all year,” said McNally. “Without him we are kind of toast. I wouldn’t call Blake a pure goal scorer but he certainly works hard and gets the goals any way he can basically. He is scoring at a higher rate than ever in terms of getting points and goals instead of secondary assists. Without Blake we wouldn’t have any of the four wins, he has been our catalyst for sure.” Getting the victory over St. Joseph was imperative for Hun. “In all honesty, we had to win,” said McNally. “We are halfway through the year and we have only beat Calvert Hall (Md.) and Academy of New Church (Pa.), which is great, but we needed a New Jersey win just so they could look each other in the eye and say we can win hockey games. That was a very necessary third period.” With Hun moving to 4-8 after losing 5-1 to Princeton Day School last Monday, McNally is preaching patience as the team looks for a big finish. “It is a slow process; we are tr ying to play like a Princeton University team right now and just stick to the game plan and now it is starting to pay off for us,” said McNally, whose team plays at Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) on January 11 before hosting Lawrenceville on January 16. “We only talk about two or three things when we play the game. If we can do them perfectly, I think we are going to win a bunch.” M a n d l e u r, f o r h i s part, trusts the process. “We just have to focus on doing the small things,” said Mandleur. “Everyone has a role and if you do your role, we should be able to win hockey games.” —Bill Alden

With Sophomore Transfer Jones Fitting in Well, Hun Girls’ Basketball Looking Much Improved It hasn’t taken long for Jada Jones to find a home with the Hun School girls’ basketball team. The sophomore transfer from Randolph is thriving on and off the court at her new school. “I like it a lot better; here I am playing my true position and they are also giving me the green light to stretch out,” said Jones. “My true position is shooting guard and last year I was playing point guard. I am glad I came. I like the whole vibe of the team, everything is better, I love coach (Bill) Holup. I love the school.” Last Thursday, Jones hit some key shots to help Hun pull out a 46-36 victory at Princeton Day School. Jones s core d a game - h igh 20 points as the Raiders held off a late PDS rally that saw the Panthers cut an 11-point deficit to 37-34 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation. Jones acknowledged that the Raiders got a little frazzled as PDS turned up the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter. “We were getting a little sloppy,” said Jones. “We were letting the pressure affect us.” Jones, however, didn’t let the pressure get to her as she made six straight free throws down the stretch of the contest. “We work on the free throws in practice because at the beginning of the year, we were doing really bad,” said Jones. “Coach decided
we were going to do a whole bunch of drills. You make them or you run.” Showing leadership, Jones decided to get freshman Alexis Harvell going before the PDS game. “Alexis is the type of player, you just have to speak to her,” said Jones. “When she is focused, she plays really, really well. I told her we need you to play strong and she played strong. When she plays well, we win.” Hun head coach Holup liked the focus Jones displayed in the victory over PDS. “J a d a m a d e h e r f r e e t h rows,” s a i d H olup of Jones, who had 18 points in a losing cause as Hun fell 50-24 at the Hill School (Pa.) last Saturday to move to 3-5. “She has a lot of talent, she has a lot of ability. She is only a 10th grader so she is young.” The Raiders got a big game from their other young star, Harvell, against PDS as she scored 16 points, sinking a number of put backs. “We told her before, you have got to dominate, you are the biggest girl out there,” said Holup. “She is a freshman and by nature, her personality is that she is a nice kid. There are times where she still fades away a little bit, she is still raw. She is working and doing a good job.” With post-graduate star guard Anna Maguire currently sidelined by injury, Hun needs to work harder for its points.
“Anna is our leader on the floor,” said Holup. “She handles the ball, she calls the offensive plays. She is an experienced player. It is a little tough without her. We are starting one senior, a couple of sophomores, and a couple of freshmen.” Holup liked the mental toughness his players displayed in weathering the storm in the waning moments of the PDS contest. “They showed a lot of grit which they need,” said Holup, whose team has already tripled its win total from last year and plays at the Blair Academy on Januar y 11 before hosting Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on January 14. “It was sloppy at times but they found a way to win and made their free throws at the end. They did a better job taking care of the ball and making better decisions in the last two minutes of the game.” Jones, for her part, was proud of the way the Raiders battled in pulling out the win. “I think it is a confidence builder, without Anna, we have to do a lot more,” said Jones. “I think the fact that we won just shows that even though we were short our best player, if we play hard, we can still win games.” —Bill Alden

Marcus Van Plateringen Marcus Van Plateringen, 95, passed away on Thursday morning, January 5, 2017, at Stonebr idge at Montgomery in Skillman, with loved ones by his side. Affectionately referred to as Max by friends and family, he was born on October 3, 1921 in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. A member of the Dutch resistance against the Nazis in World War II, Max escaped work camp internment in 1944 and went into hiding in Rotterdam, where he met his late wife, Yvonne. Max and Yvonne left post-war Europe for the island country of Curaçao, where they married in 1949 and where Max began working for Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) as a catering manager. Eventually moving with Yvonne to Miami in 1957 to start a family, Max continued his work at KLM, becoming the Miami International Airport station manager in charge of all flights to and from the Caribbean. After many years in Miami, Max moved with Yvonne to Skillman in 2005, where they resided at Stonebridge at Montgomery, close to family, for the remainder of their lives. Max touched the lives and hearts of all he knew with his warmth, positivity, and genuine character. Never one to turn down a good coffee or a good scotch, his stories were plentiful and
“What’s a six letter palindrome that scores 32 in Scrabble (when going first and when you can use proper nouns from the Bible)? Answer: Hannah. Hannah Putnam Fox died surrounded by her family on December 30, 2016 at Collington, the retirement community in Mitchellville, Md. where she had lived for 11 years. She was 96 years old. She moved to Collington in 2005, after living four years at Piper Shores, a sister community to Collington located south of Portland, Maine. From 1964 to 2001, Hannah lived in Princeton where her husband, Frederic, was first Recording Secretary and then Keeper of Princetoniana at the University. As a pastor’s wife she lived in New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Maryland (which included five memorable years when Frederic worked in the White House as a Special Assistant

to President Eisenhower). Hannah was active in many groups and organizations over the 37 years she lived in Princeton. These ranged from “Youth Employment Services,” to the American Field Service, to the Friends of the Public Library, to the Smith Club, to the Princeton Child Development Institute, to the Education Center in Blairstown, to the Chapel Advisory Committee. From 1971 to 1983 she was an elected member of the Princeton Regional School Board, serving twice at its president. When she announced her decision not to run for a fifth term the newspaper quoted her saying, “in her deceptively soft southern way, ‘If I ran again, I’d have to buy a new filing cabinet.’” She was especially known for her tireless work as the Board’s negotiator with the teacher and staff unions. For ten years (minus 1969 and 1974), Hannah hosted the reunions of her husband’s Class of 1939 in her back yard. A custom-made, orange and black tent filled up the whole area behind the house at 28 Vandeventer along Spring Street. This was just the beginning of her volunteer service to the University. Together with a fellow widow, Hannah initiated the very successful annual fundraising appeal to Princeton University alumni widows (“The Class Associates program”). At reunions in 1996, Hannah was honored by receiving the Alumni Council Award for Service to Princeton. A paragraph from the citation sums up her independent contributions to the University: “T he reques t s haven’t let up. Hannah, could you serve lemonade and cookies for the Friends of the Princeton Chapel? Could you interview students applying for scholarships through the ’39 Foundation? Could you join Triangle Club’s National Committee for its Second Centur y Campaign? Yes. Yes. Yes.” Hannah was born on May 16, 1920 in Ashland, Kentucky. She was the first child of her namesake mother, Hannah Russell P utnam and her father, Donald Hardie Putnam. She attended public schools in Ashland, graduating from high school in 1938. She then went to Smith College, as her mother had. Graduating in the war year of 1942, she soon went to work as a civilian for the U.S. Army Signal Corps in Nashville, Tennessee. And there, in November 1943, shortly before she was promoted to the Army’s codebreaking operations located in Arlington Hall, suburban Washington, she met Lt. Frederic Fox. It was love at first sight. And then it was love separated by her fiancé’s service in the European “theater” where he literally acted a part in the Army’s only deception unit: the 23rd Special Headquarters Troops. Their love letters during their separation were hampered by the fact that Fred’s activities with “The Ghost Army” were top secret. (In spite of this, 25 years later, Fred gathered together this correspondence that was so dear to him and tried to get it published as a war-time memoir entitled “Dear Hannah/Dear Fred.”) The result of the marriage of Hannah and Frederic have
been published, as it were. They are their five children: the late Josephine Morgan, Elizabeth (the late Stanley Meisler), Frederick ( Elisa Parra), Donald ( Elizabeth Billington), and Amy (Jim Kubacki). These were followed by 13 grandchildren: Hanna (who died in infancy), Gabriel, Jenaro, Michelle, Elissa, Jeffrey, Gene Paul, Kelvin, Sheida, Susannah, E l i z ab e t h , R o b e r t , a n d Sarah. And they have been joined, at last count, by ten great-grandchildren. The divinity that shaped Hannah and Fred’s ends was early felt in the fact that they both came from families of five children. Hannah was predeceased by her brothers Donald and Louis Putnam, and by her sister Harriet Henry. She is survived by her sister and brotherin-law Bet t y and Walter Huebner; her sisters-in-law, Karlene Putnam and Sally Putnam, and her brotherin-law, Merton Henry. She was predeceased by her brothers- and sisters-in-law, Kel and Patty Fox; Wynfred and Tom Greacen; Morley Fox; and Quentin Fox. She is survived by her sister-inlaw Nancy Fox Elder. Hannah is further survived by many nieces and nephews and their children. She was a fair and loving person. She had only three rules for her children: “Don’t lie; always tell us where you are; and you can be sick at home for only one day.” Among her final words, two days before she died, were, “I have no complaints.” Among the many words that could be added here are, “Thank you, Hannah.” And one final word of thanks: to Hannah’s devoted care-giver at Collington: Doris Cooper. Memorials can be given to the Princeton Education Foundation (pefnj.org) or to any cause or institution dear to Hannah or to the giver. A memorial service will be held in Princeton at a later date. ———

Invest in a new shovel. Newer ergonomic designs feature longer handles and a curved design that reduce muscle strain and make it easier to lift heavy loads. Warm up first with a little exercise. Cold muscles are more likely to be injured. Wear shoes with slip-resistant soles to prevent slip-and-fall accidents. Take plenty of breaks. Try pushing snow aside and avoid throwing it to the side which can cause excessive strain on your back. If you must lift, fill the shovel only partially. Never shovel snow right after eating or while smoking. Stop shoveling if you experience any type of chest or muscle pain or feel dizzy. If you have a heart problem, don’t shovel at all without your doctor’s permission.
If you can, hire a company to shovel your snow for you. They have the equipment, the expertise and the experience to get the job done while avoiding injury.
