Howard, Liverman Won’t Run In Next Council Election, But New Names Enter Race
Barely a day after Princeton Council members Heather Howard and Lance Liverman revealed that they will not run for re-election, two people have announced their candidacy. Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson, both active in the local Democratic party, have declared their intentions to enter the race. The terms of Howard and Liverman end at the end of December. “It has been such an honor to work with my Council colleagues, with Mayor Liz Lempert, and with many dedicated staff and volunteers to serve the people of Princeton,” wrote Howard in a statement announcing her decision. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished on Council: we’ve made Princeton a more welcoming community, promoted the health of our residents, and created a single police force that is recognized statewide for its progressive practices. I hope we have demonstrated that progressive government can be responsive and effective. While I will be focusing on other work and family commitments, I hope to continue to stay involved and to find ways to support the efforts of our elected officials and many engaged citizens working to keep Princeton vibrant and sustainable.” In a phone conversation on Tuesday, Howard reiterated her plans to remain active. “I see this as a hiatus, not an end to my involvement,” she said. “Maybe later on in life, I’ll get back involved. It’s been a really exciting ride. Being able to dig deep on some of the issues I care about like policing practices, health promotion, and being a welcoming community, has been such an honor. But all of this is bittersweet.” Howard recently served on the health care committee of Gov. Phil Murphy’s transition team. The director of state health and value strategies and advancing coverage in states at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, she previously served in the administration of Gov. John Corzine. She has been a member of Princeton’s governing body since 2011. Liverman said he was stepping down “with a humble and gracious heart …. My decision to not run is a personal decision. I have been so honored to have served the residents of Princeton for 15 years,” he said. “My love and admiration for all the residents of this great town is Continued on Page 8

ML7 Buys Five-Story Bank of America Building The real estate investment firm ML7 has purchased 90 Nassau Street, the five-story office building on the corner of Nassau and Witherspoon Streets that houses Bank of America on its ground floor. Jeffrey Siegel, ML7 president, said Tuesday that the company will renovate the unoccupied spaces of the building, which dates from 1899, but has no plans for significant changes. “Our purchase of this building is not dissimilar to why we purchase a lot of things,” said Siegel, whose company has offices in Princeton and New York. “It is a premier property in Princeton and we love its architecture and history.” The acquisition adds to ML7’s significant presence in Princeton, including the former Lahiere’s restaurant now home to Agricola eatery on Witherspoon Street; office and retail buildings on South Tulane Street; and the three properties occupied by Small World Coffee, the soon-to-close Lisa Jones shop, and the former Army and Navy store, which has been empty for over a year. Renovation plans for those three adjacent buildings were approved last December by the town’s Planning Board. Small World will remain; tenants for the other two have yet to be named. In addition to Bank of America, the Nassau Street office building is currently occupied by Rosemark Smart Capital; Sword, Rowe and Company; The Burke Founda-
tion; and CI&T. “We do have space available on the second and third floors, so we will be renovating those spaces,” said Siegel. “They overlook the main gates of Princeton University in the front, and the Lower Pyne building on one side, so the views are quite awesome.” According to the book Images of Princeton by Richard Smith, the Classical Revival building opened on May 5, 1902 and was home to the First National Bank of Princeton. It had the only elevator in
town and was originally built as the town’s tallest structure. A 1981 architectural survey said the building “employs a variety of Classical Revival schemes on successive stories of the facade.” According to a press release, the purchase “… is part of ML7’s strategy to acquire significant properties in the highest quality locations and to invest in maintaining and enhancing buildings that add to the character of communities.” Continued on Page 7
Meetings With Architects, Education Expert To Address PPS Referendum, Building Plans Princeton Public Schools (PPS) have invited the community to attend one of two town hall meetings on February 8 to discuss ideas for a new fifth and sixth grade school and the renovation and expansion of Princeton High School (PHS). PPS will submit preliminary building plans to the State Department of Education (DOE) in April, and a referendum vote is scheduled for October 2. The meetings, the first 9:30-11 a.m. in the John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) Auditorium and the second 7-9 p.m. in the PHS cafeteria, will be hosted by the architecture firm Fielding Nair International (FNI), considered a global leader in 21st century school design, with CEO Prakash Nair and educator Heidi Hayes
Jacobs, author of more than 13 books and a recognized expert on curriculum design, upgrading school design, and modernizing assessments, leading the sessions. “Both Mr. Nair and Dr. Hayes Jacobs will be partnering with us throughout the design process to ensure that we are building spaces that will help prepare our students to truly thrive in today’s — and tomorrow’s — world,” wrote PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane in his invitation to the meetings. At the meetings, Cochrane noted, Nair and Jacobs will discuss 21st century trends in learning and share best practices in school design from around the world.

DREAMers Remain in Limbo With One Month To Go for DACA Program With the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program March 5 termination date fast approaching, some 800,000 DREAMers, brought to the United States as children, remain in limbo, with lawmakers in Washington still unable to come to agreement on a proposal to replace DACA. Democrats continue to call for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants but without sharp cuts to legal immigration, significantly-enhanced enforcement, or a $25 billion wall. They have rejected the most recent White House proposal leading up to last night’s State of the Union address, which occurred after press time. Describing the Trump administration agenda as “extreme anti-immigrant” and its proposal as “not a real compromise,” U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) stated, “this plan is designed to leverage the future of DREAMers to ram through a massive, cruel, and familypunishing overhaul of our current legal immigration system.” A number of DREAMers were expected to be in the audience for the State of the Union as guests of Democratic lawmakers in order to highlight the need for immigration legislation and a replacement for DACA. With a permanent solution for DACA pronounced “dead” by a number of lawmakers, it seems likely that they will turn to a temporary
extension of DACA, possibly with provisions for border security, possibly for only one year, without long-term certainty. Princeton Council member and former board chair of the Latin American Legal and Defense Education Fund (LALDEF) Leticia Fraga expressed her concern about the looming DACA deadline. “I’m hopeful that the states have filed lawsuits challenging Trump’s decision to end the DACA program and will be successful in extending the program until legislators can agree on a permanent solution,” she said. She also expressed optimism that the new Democratic administration in Trenton would be helpful to immigrants in need. “I am also heartened that our new governor has vowed to protect DREAMers, and am hopeful that his administration will implement other progressive policies that could be put in place at the state level — such as allowing individuals to apply for drivers’ licenses regardless of their immigration status.” Decrying the political wrangling and the complications of entangling the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act in the federal budgetary process, LALDEF Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh stated that advocacy for a clean DREAM Act, without security or enforcement restrictions, remained a top priority. “This should be a bipartisan issue. It’s
economically sound, morally sound, and makes all the sense in the world.” LALDEF has been helping to process individuals’ DACA renewal applications since January 13, when the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services resumed accepting requests. “Number one for us is that our DREAMers continue to feel supported more than anything. Then we want to strengthen and support their voices and make sure that the larger community is hearing those voices. Those 800,000 individuals have their own lives and they need to be able to work, drive, engage in society. We have to hold the line on this.” —Donald Gilpin

PRISMS Robotics Team Wins First Place In International Space Competition at MIT Competing against more than 400 high school stud e nt s f r om a r ou n d t h e world, Princeton International School of Math and Science’s (PRISMS) 13-student team claimed a championship spot at Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology (MIT) earlier this month in t he Zero Robot ics High School Tournament 2017. Robotic satellites aboard the International Space Station ( ISS ) used programs written by the students in the NASA-sponsored competition refereed by cosmonaut Alexander “Sasha” Misurkin and astronaut Joe Acaba aboard the ISS, with astronaut Steve Swanson hosting the proceedings at MIT, as additional students participated from Politecnico di Torino, Italy and the Abercrombie Business School at University of Sydney, Australia.

The 2017 competition, Life Spheres, required that the student teams write code to control the Spheres satellites in the search for life on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, by drilling in the icy surface, avoiding geysers, and returning samples to a base station for analysis. The PRISMS team worked in an alliance with New York City’s Stuyvesant High School and L.S.S. Leonardo Da Vinci School of Treviso, Italy. “Meeting and talking to the astronauts was just a mind-blowing experience for me,” said PRISMS senior and Zero Robotics team leader Savva Morozov. “I’m very proud of this multinational cooperation,” the Moscow native continued. “At the very end of the competition cosmonaut Misurkin actually addressed in Russian the Russian students who were participating in the competition. That moment when he was talking to us in my native language was a very deep moment. He greeted us saying ‘Nice job. Keep it up,’ and he ended by saying that every ‘no’ is just a step towards a ‘yes.’ That was very inspirational.” M or o z ov fo u n d e d t h e PRISMS Zero Robotics Club last September after a visit to MIT and a tour of the astro labs there in the summer. He loved the idea of the zero robotics competition and recruited 13 PRISMS colleagues to join the club and prepare for the online simulations competition elimi-
nation matches. There were 182 teams at the beginning from four continents, 14 different countries, and 23 different states. Morozov and his teammates found out in November that they would be going to the finals at MIT. Gregor y Her man, head of optics research of the PRISMS engineering department and advisor of the Zero Robotics Club, explained that this year’s Life Spheres competition was tied to the success of the recent Cassini mission. The goal was for the spheres satellites to find and collect the most samples with the richest concentration of microorganisms. In order to win, however, students Continued on Next Page

had to avoid contact with the uneven topography of the icy surface and beware that beneath the surface of Enceladus’s southern pole exist large amounts of high pressure gases, so drilling has the potential to activate powerful geysers which can push the satellites off course and cause loss of collected samples. Herman, himself an MIT alumnus and former NASA scientist, noted that in this phase of aeronautics education MIT and NASA are trying to get students actively involved in space exploration itself and collaborating with other students outside their communities and countries. “They’re reaching out to schools to participate in this challenge to send their software to the ISS to contribute to the development of space exploration technology,” Morozov pointed out. “It’s similar to what was happening in the 1960s when Yuri Gagarin went into space and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon. These events inspired generations and generations of kids to study science and engineering, because space was a fascinating topic, and this is what MIT is doing to get more students into the field.” Morozov, who as part of another project will be sending a cube payload to the ISS this spring, would like to attend MIT after graduating from PRISMS in June, and looks forward to pursuing aerospace engineering in the future. “Coming from Russia, space exploration is almost in my veins,” he said. “Maybe I could become an astronaut. That sounds like a fascinating job.” One of the younger members of the club, freshman Alex Maiorov of Princeton, added that he too is interested in pursuing the aerospace field in the future. “I’m from the U.S. and space exploration is also in my veins. I hope space exploration becomes less expensive and more accessible for more people.” Commenting on what a motivating experience it was to see their code and the computer program they had created being implemented on the space station, Maiorov expressed appreciation for the support from the Princeton community, that raised significant funds to help sponsor the trip to the competition at MIT. In addition to Morozov from Russia and Maiorov from Princeton, the PRISMS Zero Robotics team included four other students from New Jersey, one from New York, one from Florida, one from Spain, and four from China. —Donald Gilpin

“What are your plans for the Super Bowl, and who are you rooting for?” (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)
“We are a family from ages 3 to 89 and we are all Eagles fans! We’ll put on our Eagles gear and all be glued to the TV. Hopefully, the team maintains a strong defensive line and puts the pressure on Brady to take him out of his comfort zone!” —Cindy Clausen, Princeton
“Are you kidding?! We are all rooting for the Eagles! We bleed green! More than likely I will watch the game at home, but if a friend calls and forces me to come to a party, I’ll be right there. If they win, I’ll be out in the streets chanting, E-A-G-LE-S – Eagles!” —Jacqueline Cryer, Willingboro
Harrison: “My dad said I can be an Eagles fan for nine more days. Go Giants!” Palmer: “A Super Bowl party with my mommy and daddy! We have been singing the ‘Fly Eagles Fly’ song.” Morgan: “It’s been a painful two weeks for me, as I am a lifelong Giants fan. But we do not like the Patriots, and the Eagles are the lesser of two evils, and we have to support mommy who is an Eagles fan.” —From left: Harrison, Morgan, and Palmer Battle, Princeton
“I’m a big-time Eagles fan. This is going to be a good game, but the Eagles really have their work cut out for them against the Patriots. I’ll be watching the game at home and rooting for my team. The Eagles have really had a great season, and I hope they can finish things off and beat New England.” —William Ward, Gladwyne, Pa.

McCarter Theatre Center has received a $50,000 Community Impact Grant from the Princeton Area Community Foundation for its ongoing Arts Integrated Education Program in Trenton Public Schools. The grant will suppor t McCarter’s ongoing partnership with the Trenton Public Schools as it continues to establish forward-thinking models of arts integration and education to bolster students’ overall academic and social performance. Hundreds of students in six Trenton schools each year have direct contact with a McCarter program or in-school residency, which builds on standard social studies and language arts curriculum by infusing both with artsbased learning skills. “With our Community Impact Grants, we support an array of excellent programs throughout our region,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Community Foundation. “We believe in arts education because it can transform young lives. We’re glad McCarter is among the organizations providing opportunities for young people in this region.” Erica Nagel, McCarter’s Director of Education and Engagement said : “T his generous grant from the Princeton Area Community Foundation will allow McCarter to significantly expand its relationship with the Trenton Public Schools. In particular, these funds will allow us to deepen existing par tnerships by increas ing considerably the hours and days the artists spend interacting directly w ith students. It is our honor to

they will speak “on the need to redefine education in the 21st century and will share how we can prepare students for today’s and tomorrow’s dynamic environments,” Cochrane said. He went on to explain how Nair and Jacobs “will be helping us see how space in a school affects how students and teachers interact, what they learn, and how they learn. Most schools in America today were designed with an Industrial Revolution mindset,” he said. “Students are shuttled from room to room, where the design intent was for them to be passive recipients of knowledge — not creators of it. The space can often dictate the learning.” Cochrane emphasized the importance of skills such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving and how Nair and Jacobs will help to envision learning environments that support those skills by offering variety, flexibility, and comfort. “They will help us see how those needed skills are supported by spaces that allow for large groups and small groups, spaces that allow students to build and create as well as to read and reflect. They will also help us see how new spaces can be created or current spaces renovated or retrofitted.” At the evening meeting at PHS Nair and Jacobs will repeat their presentation and include additional opportunities for community feedback and small group conversations. Participants will explore initial ideas and concepts, discuss options, and brainstorm ideas to help design the future of the PPS district. “I hope you can join us for one of these meetings and that you will continue to be engaged as we work together to develop the best and most cost-effective plans for our students and our community,” Cochrane concluded in his invitation to the community. The architects will return in March to present more concrete designs before the district presents its preliminary plans to the DOE. Cochrane reported that feedback from two referendum information sessions earlier this month was overwhelmingly positive. “I believe people came away with a clearer sense of the longterm need for space across the district, the education value of a five/six school, and the district’s commitment to sustainability, financial stewardship, and open communication as we continue with this process. With PHS and JWMS already over capacity, the elementary schools full, and further growth predicted at all levels, Cochrane emphasized that the referendum is driven by the critical need for space, but he pointed out, “The goals of the strategic plan are wonderfully aligned with an architectural design focused on 21st century learning. Both put students at the center of the learning process. Both emphasize wellness, balance, innovation in teaching and learning, and the importance of meaningful human connections.” —Donald Gilpin
unwavering. I will miss working with the most caring and respectful mayor and Council. I was also able to serve such a long period of time because of the continued support of the Princeton employees. What an amazing group of individuals ! I am lucky Princeton has such a great talent pool. I will continue to do whatever is needed to keep Princeton a welcoming and lov ing town.” A Princeton native, Liverman owns a real estate investment firm. He has served on the governing body for four terms. “I’ve been an elected official for 15 years, and 13 years before that on boards and commissions,” he said. “I’m 55 years old and I’m just looking to do something different. I attended the funerals of three close friends last year, and I realize, if you’re going to do something new, do it while you can.” Liverman said he might move to North Carolina, where he has extended family, at some point. But his youngest daughter is only in seventh grade, and the family wouldn’t relocate while she is still in school. Once an owner of a Trenton-based publication called The Nubian News, he enjoys writing and said he has thought about tackling fiction in the future. Niedergang has lived in Princeton for more than 25 years and has been involved in local issues since co-chairing the Riverside School PTO. She was on the board of the Friends of Princeton Public Library and has been active in the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO), where she is on the executive board. She is currently on the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee, for which she is District 18 committeewoman. She works for the StonyBrook Millstone Watershed Association. “Over the last decade, I’ve worked hard for progressive candidates to represent Princeton at the municipal, state, and federal levels,” she wrote in a statement of her candidacy. “I am ready to work just as hard as a member of Princeton Council. I know there will be difficult decisions to make to retain Princeton’s diversity, move towards sustainability, and keep municipal taxes down. I don’t shy away from making such decisions and I am looking forward to digging into the key issues facing the municipality.” Williamson is an attorney and has lived in Princeton since 1998. He has served on the Princeton Planning Board, as District 22 committeeman on the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee, and as first vice president of the PCDO. “These experiences have given me the opportunity to promote the progressive policies that have made our town such a wonderful place to live,” he said. “Princeton is a town with many successes and advantages. Yet, many challenges persist. I seek the opportunity to work beside the great public servants who serve us by bringing to the table ideas to work toward solutions. I support good and effective stewardship
over public funds, an environment where all children thrive and are encouraged to reach their full potential, smart growth to maintain the integrity and character of our neighborhoods, and an amicable and just partnership with our University neighbor.” —Anne Levin
Step Into Spring With Princeton Adult School
Princeton Adult School offers over 200 classes beginning Tuesday, February 13. With many classes beginning every day of the week with start dates throughout the term, students have a wide choice of topics, class times, and locat ions. St udents could find themselves cooking or meditating on Saturday, country line dancing on Monday, and attending performances on Wednesday at many locations in Princeton or beyond. As in the past, English as a Second Language and 11 other world language classes, as well as many other classes, begin a new tenweek semester with Tuesday or Thursday classes at Princeton High School. Some of the important and special courses for spring 2018 include: A n eight-week lect ure series, “This Land Is Your L and, T h is L and Is My Land…” in collaboration with Migrations, the community-wide collaboration of more than 30 organizations, featuring exhibitions, readings, performances, lectures, and workshops, McCar ter T heater and the Princeton Adult School are bringing the fascinating history, culture, and music together, in “Cuba, Past, Present, and Future, a Series of Lectures and Performances.” The history of people and their world comes home with “I Hear My People Singing — Voices of African American Princeton: A Group Reading and Discussion.” Kathryn Watterson, the author, will join Penney Edwards-Carter and Shirley Satterfield to bring this story to light from its beginnings as an oral history project. With the range of start dates and the variety of classes, students may find it possible to plan on more than one course during the spring ten-week term. Some of the skill and special interest classes are: yoga, acrylic painting, orchid growing, touring the Princeton Campus at dusk, fly fishing, salsa dancing, Reiki, crochet, Excel, and video editing. The spring 2018 brochure has been sent to Princeton residences and those in neighboring communities.

Local Residents Suggest a Way to Say “No” To Dirty, Non-Renewable Energy Sources
To the Editor: For our electricity needs, Princeton homeowners and businesses can take advantage of the important opportunity to embrace renewable wind-power and say “NO!” to dirty, non-renewable energy sources (oil, coal, gas) — and nuclear power as well. While a number of organizations now provide green energy, CleanChoice is one of the simplest to navigate: a single telephone call! (You can also look at green-e.org). CleanChoice Energy (cleanchoiceenergy.com; (800) 4604900) is dedicated to helping us go green to fight global warming and climate change: 99 percent wind-power, 1 percent solar. They have built up trust over a ten-year period; their website is filled with information. Sign-up takes only the initial phone-call. CleanChoice manages the cost-free switch from PSE&G (from whom you will still get your gas/electric bill). You can have a fixed or a variable rate, with a low-low introductory offer. CleanChoice will notify you annually concerning the equivalent number of cars you have idled or taken off the road by using renewable energy sources. They are truly dedicated! And we can be too! PSE&G will show you a monthly price-comparison of your CleanChoice electric charges vs. what electric by means of dirty fuels would have been. While CleanChoice appears to cost slightly more per kWh, we all know that the dollar cost of gas/coal-powered electricity is artificially low and does not take into account the true and much higher costs of dirty energy. Furthermore, CleanChoice charges the customers less and less as more people sign up for this program. We hope that all of us will welcome our freedom to go green, help the planet’s climate, and personally reject a federal government that has pulled the United States out of the Paris Accords and will offset any of our lingering attachments to dirty, harmful sourcing for electricity. CleanChoice lets us think globally, act locally, personally — and in the same spirit as Princeton’s pending Climate Action Plan spearheaded by Sustainable Princeton (sustainableprinceton.org). As SP’s director, Molly Jones, rightly noted at a recent meeting of Indivisible Princeton devoted to climate action, “There is no silver bullet” to resolve the hurdles we face; but “There is silver buckshot” (see “Sustainable Head Urges Climate Action Plan to Reduce Emissions,” Town Topics, Jan. 24, front-page article).
Let’s all be part of that communal, renewable firepower by signing on with CleanChoice. We will all breathe better.

Story On Challenges Of Climate Change Prompts Letter on Use of Electric Vehicles
To The Editor: Thank you for the detailed article [Town Topics, Jan. 24] on the recent talk by Molly Jones of Sustainable Princeton on Climate Change. Her observation that there is no silver bullet to solve this problem, but rather silver buckshot — smaller actions individuals can take — should be taken to heart. One of these small actions that could make a great difference is the rapid substitution of electric vehicles (EVs) for gasoline powered cars. The average New Jersey household burns about 30 barrels (1260 gallons) of gasoline per year, mostly for commuting and local travel. Local gasoline consumption is by far our largest single use of fossil fuel and our largest source of local pollution, and these can be sharply reduced without any change in comfort or convenience. Cars wear out, and upgrading to an EV is quite realistic, with many models to choose from. Leasing an EV is probably the best option for most people, as it requires the least immediate cash outlay, allows for a trial run of the technology, and eliminates the risk of technical obsolescence: at the end of the lease, the vehicle can be returned for a small fee. In addition to reducing pollution and fossil fuel use, EVs also eliminate our complicity with the many negative aspects of the petroleum industry, such as fracking, off shore drilling, support of foreign adventures and certain medieval autocracies, to name just a few. We leased our EV four years ago. With a range of 84 miles (on a calm spring day and a level road) our car is now completely out of date, but serves our local travel needs rather well. Current EVs have much greater range, more advanced safety features, and better recharge capabilities. Some manufacturers now guarantee the main battery for the life of the car.
In short, we as individuals should not regard climate change as a problem to be solved in Washington. We should realize that we can make a direct and significant contribution to the solution here and now. AL CAVALLO Western Way
Encouraging Residents to Join Princeton’s Curbside Organic Composting Program
To the Editor: As a follow-up to last week’s front page article on a speech by Sustainable Princeton’s Director, Molly Jones, advocating a “Climate Action Plan To Reduce Emissions,” I am writing to encourage our citizens to participate in Princeton’s Curbside Organic Composting Program, scheduled to begin this year’s cycle in February. Compostable material, plant, and animal waste (“if it grows, it goes”), can be recycled as mulch for your garden (free to all Princeton subscribers) instead of going into landfills where it produces methane, which is 20 times more hazardous to the environment than carbon dioxide. Collecting and transporting trash destined for increasingly scarce landfills costs Princeton hundreds of dollars a ton, whereas curbside composting is less than half that cost. The truck the program uses runs on natural gas and emits 90 percent fewer emissions than regular gas or diesel. We are saving tax dollars and helping the environment by participating in this efficiently run program. The Organics Program, which costs only $65 a year, does not replace any of our current trash or recycling collections. The narrow green carts, supplied free to participants by Princeton’s Public Works, are picked up every Wednesday. Enrollment is easy: a simple call to Princeton’s recycling coordinator, Janet Pellichero, at (609) 688-2566 or an email to jpellichero@princetonnj.gov. SUZANNE NASH Governors Lane

BOOK REVIEW
Schubert and Salinger — The Sound of Two Hands Clapping Man is like a ball, the plaything of Chance and Passion. —Franz Schubert (1797-1828) God, how I hate it when somebody yells “Good luck!” at me when I’m leaving somewhere. It’s depressing. —J.D. Salinger (1919-2010) chuber t, whose remarks about “Chance and Passion” are from a journal he kept at 19, was born on the last day of January in Vienna. Salinger, who was born on the first day of January in New York City, is speaking in the voice of his creation Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye, which came out in 1951. When his collection Nine Stories was published in 1953, Salinger prefaced it with a Zen Koan: “We know the sound of two hands clapping. But what is the sound of one hand clapping?” Salinger’s second most famous character, Seymour Glass, was born in the pages of the January 31, 1948, issue of The New Yorker. The story was “A Perfect Day for Bananafish,” Salinger’s literary breakthrough and Seymour’s bizarre debut, which ended a mere five pages later when he fired a bullet through his right temple. Two Cities Schubert’s Winterreise or Winter Journey, in his words “a cycle of terrifying songs,” was published on January 14, 1828, a little less than two months after he died in Vienna. He spent his last days working on the proofs and reading the novels of James Fenimore Cooper. While the closest Schubert ever came to Manhattan was the Westchester County setting of Cooper’s The Spy, Salinger spent ten formative months in Vienna. There, at 18, he apparently formed an attachment to the Jewish girl who inspired his 1947 story “Wien, Wien,” a title changed by Good Housekeeping’s editors to “A Girl I Knew,” one betrayal among many that eventually turned Salinger against publishers and publishing. A reading of Schubert’s letters shows that he had his share of problems with publishers, “these miserable moneygrubbers” under which “the artist shall remain the eternal slave.” Writing and Playing As far as I’ve been able to tell, Schubert’s only appearance in Salinger’s work is in “Seymour: An Introduction” when a music critic complains that his daughter’s school Glee Club is rehearsing a medley of Berlin, Kern, and Arlen songs when they should be singing “simple little Schubert Lieder instead of that ‘trash’.” Afterward, as the puffed-up music critic strolls jauntily down the street he’s whistling “K-K-K Katy.” The piano in Schubert’s far from simple song of spring “Im Frühling” takes a stroll after the second verse and closes with a coda that would make Scott Joplin smile. In a letter from 1825, Schubert writes, “The Variations from my new sonata for two hands met with a special enthusiasm. These I played alone, and not usuccessfully,
S
for several people assured me that under my fingers the keys were transformed into singing voices.” The girl in Salinger’s Vienna story is overheard by the narrator singing Connie Boswell’s “Where Are You” with a German accent (“Where have you gone wissout me? I sought you cared about me”). Going to the window, the narrator sees the girl “completely submerged in the pool of autumn twilight” on the balcony below, “leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.” Like Schubert playing, like Salinger writing. Beauty by Chance Another one of Salinger’s buried stories, “The Stranger,” describes the familiar postwar situation of a soldier coming home with a message for the girlfriend of a fallen com-
Seymour’s Touch While there’s nothing in the biographical or anecdotal record that says Salinger ever performed Schubert’s piano duets with his sister or anyone else, Seymour Glass plays piano two nights running in the Ocean Room of the Florida beachfront hotel in “A Perfect Day for Bananafish.” The story opens with a longdistance phone call between Seymour’s wife and his mother-in-law, whose concerns about his behavior (the “funny business with the trees,” the “horrible things he said to Granny about her passing away”) lend an uneasy undercurrent to the scene on the beach between Seymour and a three-yearold named Sybil. The dialogue is charming, a duet of sorts played by an adult and a child who wants to be given a ride on his rubber float. Things take a darker turn when Seymour spins his tale of the bananafish and their “very tragic life” wherein they swim
rade, in this case Holden Caulfield’s brother, Vincent. The story’s ultimate revelation that there’s no way that a man can “condition himself against the lethal size and shape and melody of beauty by chance” resonates throughout the work of Schubert and Salinger. Among the examples that come to mind are Schubert’s B-flat piano sonata with its “trill of doom,” pianist Andreas Schiff’s term for what happens when “a spacious majorkey theme gives way to an ominous tremolando.” While it’s “beauty by chance” that moves Holden almost to tears at the end of The Catcher in the Rye as he watches his little sister Phoebe riding round and round on the Central Park carousel, the “lethal size and shape and melody of beauty” is sounded at length in the Glass stories. For Seymour Glass, beauty can leave a wound. In the journal quoted in “Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters,” he writes, “I have scars on my hands from touching certain people.” He calls himself “a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.”
into a hole and gorge themselves on so many bananas that they can’t get out of the hole and die of “banana fever,” a “terrible disease.” As a wave comes along, Seymour pushes the float and the girl over the top of it, she’s soaked but her screams are “full of pleasure.” Delighted when she continues the storyline on her own, claiming she just saw a bananafish, Seymour “suddenly picked up one of Sybil’s wet feet, which were drooping over the end of the float, and kissed it.” At which he gives up the game, though she says she wants to keep playing. It’s not clear what happened to Seymour in that moment, perhaps another scar inflicted in the plot to make him happy, but now everything’s sliding out of alignment, he’s in “trill of doom” territory. As he pushes the float toward the shore, she gets off and runs “without regret in the direction of the hotel,” where shortly thereafter Seymour initiates a paranoid exchange about his feet with a woman on the elevator. In room 507, with his wife asleep in one of the twin beds, he
fires what became the shot heard ’round the literary world in the winter of 1948. Let the Devil Play It Listening tonight to Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy, the pianistic version of a hundred bullet-to-the-brain endings, I remembered reading my four-year-old son M.B. Goffstein’s children’s book A Little Schubert (1972). A small shiny paper-thin disc came with the book, introduced on the last page as “a record of five of the twelve dances called ‘Noble Waltzes’ that Franz Schubert wrote down in his little room in Vienna.” The battered, smudged, fingerprinted, and chewed-on black disc we played half to death is still in its sleeve. In case my son assumed the joyful waltzes and Goffstein’s charming drawings of the fat, elfin, bespectacled composer were the whole story, I played him a recording of the Wanderer Fantasy and told him of the time Schubert was playing it at a recital and encountered a passage so difficult he threw up his hands and shouted “Let the devil play it!” For the next few years, especially around the last day of January, those five words became a rallying cry, “Happy Birthday” with an edge. Departures The bookend to Salinger’s published work is buried between pages 32-113 of the June 19, 1965 New Yorker, hemmed in on all sides by a veritable labyrinth of products, page after page of liquor, travel, perfume, and automobile ads. It’s fitting that the Seymour who makes his first appearance in that magazine playing with a child would end his New Yorker run as a five-year-old writing a monumental letter home from camp. Young Seymour’s free-wheeling exclamatory style in “Hapworth 16, 1924” is the closest thing to a new strain of prose music to be found in Salinger, with the possible exception of the as yet unpublished chapters of the Glass saga he composed during his 40-year exile from the book world. At one point, Salinger offers a glimpse of himself at work “on a very large, jet-black, very moving, gorgeous typewriter,” smoking a cigarette and “occasionally clasping his hands and placing then on top of his head in a thoughtful, exhausted manner.” The epic letter also has Seymour cheerfully announcing the time of his departure from life: “I personally will live at least as long as a well-preserved telephone pole, a generous matter of thirty (30) years or more, which is surely nothing to snicker at.” eymour was 31 when he departed. So was Schubert. —Stuart Mitchner I wrote previously about Goffstein’s Schubert in “A Little Book Leads the Way: Celebrating Schubert’s Birthday” (Feb. 7, 2007) and on the failed liberation of “Hapworth 16, 1924” in “J.D. Salinger’s Letter From Camp Returned to Sender” (Sept. 13, 2006).

A month after the devastating fire at Griggs Farm that took one life and left 35 residents homeless, Marina Ahun was allowed to return to her apartment to retrieve whatever she could. She gets emotional when recalling what she found. “I completely lost everything,” said the artist, who emigrated from Russia a decade ago. “My apartment,
which was located diagonal to the one where the fire started, was my studio and my home. The roof is open. The insulation between the ceiling and the roof was all over my stuff. Mixed with water, it froze and turned into a kind of concrete. I just care most about my art, which was hanging on the walls and all around.” The December 27 fire at
DEVASTATING DAMAGE: The home and art studio of painter Marina Ahun is littered with clumps of insulation material that froze as firefighters battled the December 27 Griggs Farm blaze. While the fire did not spread to Ahun’s apartment, water damage and the caved-in roof took a significant toll.
the 24-unit affordable housing building is believed to have been started by candles in the bedroom of Larisa Bartone, the 73-year-old tenant who perished in the fire. No foul play or electrical issues were involved, according to Princeton police. The building, owned and maintained by Princeton Community Housing (PCH), will take roughly a year to reconstruct. Meanwhile, Ahun and several of her neighbors are being housed at an extended stay hotel, paid for voluntarily by PCH. Funds raised by that organization, Send Hunger Packing Princeton, Princeton’s Human Services department, and other agencies have helped. And Ahun, who has no renters’ insurance, is grateful. “They greatly care about us and we are in a good environment at the hotel. I fully appreciate that and want to thank them,” she said. “But it is hard. I hope people will take from my experience and get renters’ insurance. It is very important.” Ahun’s work, which spans realistic and expressionistic styles, is known to local residents through her watercolors of Princeton Universit y buildings and architectural renderings of buildings around town. She was officially commissioned and licensed by the University, according to her website, which details her path to the United States after visiting in 2002 on a tourist visa. She was granted political asylum from religious persecution in a former Soviet bloc country, and became a U.S. citizen in 2012. “Marina is the genuine ar-
ticle,” said her agent Greg Moore. “She has a superb education and a natural talent that got cultivated to a very high degree. I see her as a community treasure. There aren’t many artists of that caliber who come to Princeton and do the kind of work she has done. The loss of her ability to work is a bad thing. Getting her back on her feet is really important.” W hile the fire did not bur n t hrough to A hu n’s apartment, water damage is extensive. Sections of her living room and kitchen collapsed, and the studio area is open to the sky. “It’s a mess,” Moore said. An offer of temporary studio space for Ahun is on the horizon, but not confirmed. “The thing weighing on her mind most heavily is where she is going to live until the building is redone,” said Moore. “Princeton Community Housing has gone the extra mile by continuing to pay for them at the hotel, but that can’t go on indefinitely.” To donate or offer temporary housing to homeless Griggs Farm residents, visit princetoncommunityhousing.org. —Anne Levin

Art “Rouge” Series at PU Art Museum
A selection of photographs from Michael Kenna’s “Rouge” series forms an exhibition that underscores the site’s legacy in U.S. and world histor y. The exhibition, curated by James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher – David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director, is on view at the Princeton University Art Museum through February 11, 2018. The Princeton University Art Museum is the only institution to hold a complete set of the “Rouge” series, which is available in its entirety online for the first time on the Museum’s website. “Michael Kenna’s compelling ‘Rouge’ series is an extraordinary artistic achievement, and its exhibition, a timely reminder of what was once the world’s most advanced industrial site,” said Steward. “As the sole museum with the entire ‘Rouge’ suite, we take seriously the responsibilit y of making them publicly available.” Kenna has long been acclaimed as one of the most important landscape photographers working today, and is best known for lyrical black-and-white images made under natural light conditions. Often captured at dawn or dusk, or long exposures made at night, his images can be understood as heir to the Pictorialist tradition. Kenna’s work with industrial and postindustrial landscapes is among his most sustained investigations. Kenna’s photographs of the Rouge plant in Dearborn, Michigan — once the most advanced industrial complex in the world and an icon of U.S. manufacturing
might — were made beginning in 1992, initially as an homage to photographer Charles Sheeler’s images of the site. Kenna worked under often-extreme conditions at the complex in order to carry out the long exposures that enable his signature atmospheric effects. T he 2,000 -acre Rouge plant in southeastern Michigan, named for the river that borders it on one side, was developed by Henr y Ford and the architect Albert Kahn to be the most advanced “ore to assembly” manufacturing complex in history. Since 1918 it has produced boats, tractors, cars, and trucks. During World War II it was a key contributor to the war effort and to Detroit’s status as “The Arsenal of Democracy.” The exhibition presents 40 images from the series — one-third of the total — that speak to what Kenna has called the “memories, traces, and evidence of our human activities” at this once-pioneering site. It has been organized as a companion to the Museum’s major traveling exhibition “Clarence H. White and His World: The Art & Craft of Photography, 1895–1925,” featuring the v ision and legacy of one of the fathers of Pictorialism — reasserting him as a leader in the early 20th-century effort to position photography as an art. The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.
“MARKET WOMEN”: Mercy Moyo’s painting is part of “Africa Now! Contemporary Art by African Women,” an exhibit of painting and sculpture on display at the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie from February 4 through February 25. An opening reception will be held on Sunday, February 4 from 2-4 p.m.
In “The Impact of Art: Artists Find Refuge and Regeneration Through Their Art,” artists Anne Elliot, Shellie Jacobson, Sarah Morejohn, and Maria Pisano are joined by Philadelphia artist Charlene Lutz in exhibiting work they have created when confronted with illness, psychological dissonance, or loss. The exhibit runs February 6 through August 31 at ArtTimesTwo, the gallery at Princeton Brain and Spine in Princeton. An opening reception will be held on February 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. These ar tists gathered courage to deal with their issues and they show courage in their willingness to share their discoveries with an audience. Also on exhibit are works by New York artist Karen Fitzgerald, who makes art specifically to inspire a space of contemplation and healing for others, and who has worked on
behalf of small groups and large institutions who welcome art as a component of healing. A r t T i m e sTw o c u r a t o r Madelaine Shellaby works in concert with Dr Mark Mclaughlin, who said, “The purpose of opening up our office to art exhibits by ArtTimesTwo is three-fold. First and most importantly, it provides a comforting, healing atmosphere for our patients who are frightened or apprehensive. Second, it gives local artists the opportunity to display, promote, and sell their work. And lastly, through commissions received on every sale, it benefits the Spinal Research Foundation — which ultimately benefits our patients and the improvement of spine health care.” ArtTimesTwo, the gallery at Princeton Brain and Spine, is located at 731 Alexander Road, Suite 200.

women come from countries of recent conflict, and their ar twork provides insight into their views on culture, politics, and society. The paintings and sculptures in this exhibition use vibrant colors, traditional African motifs, abstraction, and collage. McMillan has viewed works by these artists in the collection of Diana Tyson, a frequent traveler to Africa, who has been collecting their works for years. Tyson has been working with the women to bring exposure to their works in the United States. She works personally with each artist to understand their work and represent it to the public. Through her efforts, these women have had several exhibits in this country and abroad, and this is a first for Ellarslie. These artists represent trends of contemporary African art. “WASTED WORDS”: The work of Shellie Jacobson and others is For more information, visit featured in “The Impact of Art,” an exhibition running February 6 through August 31 at ArtTimesTwo in Princeton.

“SELF PORTRAIT AT ELEVEN YEARS OLD”: This piece by Glenn Ligon is part of “Hold: A Meditation on Black Aesthetics,” at the Princeton University Art Museum through February 11. The works in this exhibition, ranging from the 1950s to the present, embody various ways the aesthetic realm has enabled re-imaginings of blackness. Rather than narrowly defining a genre or a mode of expression, these examples of black art speak to alternate ways of seeing, feeling, living, and being together in the world. Together, they meditate on the word “hold” as a metaphor for thinking about the diverse expressive forms that gather under the banner of black art.
TCNJ houses a small but significant group of artifacts connected to the history of communication and electronics in the 20th century. Making Innovation will feature intriguing historical artifacts — from computer chips to vacuum tubes — as well as artworks from the Sarnoff Collection including works by Clarence Holbrook Carter, Philip J. Cianci, S. Hammer, Pietro Montana, and Vladimir Zworykin. Pittsburgh-based printmaker and installation artist Imin Yeh served as the Sarnoff’s first artist-in-residence. Yeh spent several days exploring the collection with curator Florencia Pierri, exploring the collection’s holdings of computer games, RCA publications, and electronic prototypes and hand-made models. As a printmaker, Yeh is fascinated with the history of technological innovation and the creative implications of invention in the arts and sciences. Yeh was particularly struck by the prototype for the first blue LED, which led to the creation of an installation for the exhibition that features more than 50 paper replicas of that original LED. Through her painstakingly crafted and detail-oriented paper reproductions, Yeh draws attention to the invisible labor behind objects. Sandra Erbacher uses objects and materials typically associated with institutional spaces and offices to mount a sly, often humorous critique of corporate bureaucracy. Erbacher transforms familiar aspects of office life — the floor plans, texts, and objects designed to organize human activity and maximize efficiency — in ways that threaten to disrupt the institutional order. On Wednesday, February 7, there will be an opening day panel discussion featuring Imin Yeh and Florencia Pierri from 4-5 p.m. Immediately following the discussion will be the opening reception in the gallery from 5-7 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. TCNJ Art Gallery is located in the Arts and Interactive Multimedia Building on The College of New Jersey campus at 2000 Pennington Road in Ewing. The gallery is open to the public free of charge on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from noon to 7 p.m., and on Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information, call (609) 771-2633 or visit the website at tcnjartgallery. tcnj.edu.

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Presents Dynamic Piano Soloist in Works of Bach and Glass
P
rinceton Symphony Orchestra’s concert on Sunday afternoon centered on guest pianist Simone Dinnerstein, but another subtler theme also ran through the performance. PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov programmed a concert with a narrative covering three hundred years of music history, featuring innovation and new musical ideas within well-known frameworks. The addition of dynamic and technically dazzling American pianist Simone Dinnerstein made the afternoon that much more exciting. Sunday’s concert in Richardson Auditorium included four pieces either from the Baroque period, or works which were more contemporary but paid tribute to an era in music history rooted in structure and form. Milanov added a further tribute to the afternoon with a reverent performance of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings in honor of long-time Princeton philanthropist and PSO supporter George Pitcher. Following this reflective opening, Milanov jumped immediately to a piece composed within the past two years by America composer Mason Bates, whose mission is to bring classical music to new spaces and who has a unique side career as a club DJ. Bates’s 2016 Auditorium juxtaposed two orchestras — Princeton Symphony playing on modern instruments and a pre-recorded San Francisco Conservatory Baroque Ensemble playing on Baroque period instruments in a battle of musical tension between two ensembles which are tuned just slightly differently. Sharp ears in the audience could immediately hear the difference in instrumental character and tuning, especially when a Baroque oboe on tape was answered by live oboist Roni Gal-Ed. The disparity between the modern piano and harpsichord was also striking, but as the piece went on, the two sonorities blended to the point where it was sometimes hard to discern what was live and what was taped. Milanov maintained a jazzy feel to what were probably Baroque dances woven into a very contemporary orchestration, and with the help of Gal-Ed’s elegant playing, brought the work to a graceful close. Pianist Simone Dinnerstein has had a long and distinguished history with the music of J.S. Bach, and bringing Bach’s Keyboard Concerto No. 7 in G Minor to a modern keyboard performance demonstrated why she is so renowned for Baroque interpretation. Bach would not have recognized the dynamic range achieved by the modern piano, nor would he have comprehended the iPad from which Dinnerstein played, but as the pages on the iPad flew by, Dinnerstein’s consistently
even playing created a true partnership between soloist and orchestra. Especially in the upper register of the first movement, she kept the notes relatively dry and devoid of ornaments, with both hands close to the keyboard. Milanov built crescendi in dynamics well, and Dinnerstein was always right with the violins. A vibrant third movement showed how this concerto, derived from Bach’s own previously-composed music for the violin, was equally as virtuosic and complex as other Bach concerto solo lines. Dinnerstein was also featured in a New Jersey premiere of a work by contemporary American composer Philip Glass. Piano Concerto No. 3 came about through a commissioning consortium of 12 orchestras; Sunday afternoon’s performance by Princeton Symphony was the fifth of the series and the first in New Jersey. Scored for piano and strings, this concerto was a three-movement dialog between keyboard and orchestra, based on a steady rhythmic pulse but always moving forward. Glass is known for a minimalistic compositional style, which was evident in this concerto, but the fragments being repeated were good-sized melodic bits. Both Milanov and Dinnerstein found variety through intensity and emphasizing the ebb and flow of the music. Dinnerstein played with a great deal of feeling throughout the work, as her steady and even approach to the previous Bach concerto served her well in this piece. Glass dedicated the third movement of his concerto to Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, whose smooth dissonance and palettes of musical colors are especially well known in the choral field. This movement in particular seemed to recall the roll of the sea as Dinnerstein wove in and out of an orchestral texture that often resembled an icy field. Both dramatic and intense, Dinnerstein kept the solo piano part continually moving. rinceton Symphony closed the concert with another 20th-century look back to the Baroque era, in Maurice Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin, a set of four dance movements adding an early 20th-century impressionistic twist to 18th-century dance forms. Most notable about these four dances on Sunday afternoon were wind solos by flutist Catherine Gregory, oboist Roni Gal-Ed, clarinetist Pascal Archer, and English hornist Mitchell Kuhn as the Princeton Symphony Orchestra effectively infused the music from a bygone era with 20th-century innovation. —Nancy Plum

“CARMEN WILL ALWAYS BE FREE”: Roxey Ballet presents a production of “Carmen” from Friday, February 2 through Sunday, February 11. Performances will be held at the up-close-andpersonal Canal Studio Theater located in downtown Lambertville at 243 North Union Street, Lambertville. Ticket prices range from $24-$50. Carmen will be presentRoxey Ballet Presents “Carmen” in Lambertville ed from Friday, February
In February, Roxey Ballet will present an evening of love and romance with its contemporary re-telling of Carmen from February 2-11 in its intimate, in-studio theater located in downtown Lambertville. Roxey Ballet’s Carmen is a sizzling production with a cast of 14 international artists performing in the electrifying one-act ballet, which is choreographed by company founder Mark Roxey. Carmen is a vivid and passionate stor y of lust and treachery based on the fabled temptress of Seville. The story follows the downward spiral of Carmen after Prosper Merimee’s novel and George Bizet’s opera. Mark Roxey’s choreography and staging brings a highly contemporary ballet stylized in abstract décor, ideal for both dance lovers and audiences who have never been to a ballet before. Car men has c apt u re d and scandalized audiences throughout the world since French dancer master Roland Petit first presented the 45-minute tale of seduction and betrayal at Prince’s Theatre in London in 1949. The central love duet for Carmen and Don Jose is said to be among the most sensual couplings ever to be put on the stage. Don Jose, danced by Brandon McGuirk, is a man distracted by the temptation of love from his mistress Carmen, danced by Chanmee Jeong, but is reminded of his commitment to his wife Michaela, danced by artist Nerea Barrondo. Carmen is a cigarette factory worker along with her five factory friends. Carmen has many admirers including Escamillo, a Toreador; Zuniga, a captain; Morales who is a soldier and smuggler; and a cigarette factory man. This rendition of Carmen follows a romance twist that creates depth in the vibrant characters — who will fall to the tragic consequences and who will survive?

footage’s rediscovery as well as a fascinating glimpse into the uniquely working-class milieu of Parma’s opera-mad populace. An ardent devotee of the life and works of Giuseppe Verdi, Vent ura explores the world of traditional opera in articles and lectures and through the medium of documentary film. To investigate how the composer’s 27 operas have served as an agent of social and political change, Ventura created an initiative he calls “27” The Verdi Documentar y Film Project, with particular emphasis on the community of Parma, Italy — known for its fierce connection to the art form — where Verdi is venerated. Dorothea’s House is located at 120 John Street in Princeton. The lecture is free and open to the public. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. Seating is limited and programs frequently fill to capacity.

Despite the ban, Miriam’s career caught fire while she was in exile. She was helped by influential entertainers such as Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier. Soon, international audiences were appreciating her unique sound, an eclectic mix of jazz, pop, and traditional African tunes. To combat the civil strife in her homeland, she took of advantage of her success to criticize the South African government. In 1963, she testified at the United Nations and implored the organization to impose economic sanctions on South Africa after it imprisoned attorney Nelson Mandela and thousands of other political activists who were lobbying for equality. However, Miriam fell out of favor in 1968 when she married Stokely Carmichael, the controversial leader of the Black Power Movement. Because of the union, she made many powerful enemies in the U.S. Almost overnight, Miriam’s concerts were canceled and her records were pulled off the shelves. Hounded by the FBI, and with her career rui ne d, s he a nd C ar m i chael moved to Guinea. However, it wasn’t until the apartheid regime in South Africa fell that she was welcomed home by the new president Nelson Mandela. Her homecoming was a fitting tribute to a talented singer who had dedicated her life to the liberation of oppressed people all over the world. Excellent (HHHH). Unrated. Running time: 90 minutes.

enzile Miriam Makeba was born black in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1932, which meant she was a second-class citizen. In fact, she spent the first six months of her life in prison with her mother, a sangoma (witch doctor), who was sent to prison just days after giving birth. Luckily, her mother was also an amateur singer, and that was a gift Miriam inherited. She married at 17 and had a child a year later, but was soon abandoned by her abusive husband. So, to support her young daughter, she started singing professionally. After performing and recording with several different bands, she found a measure of fame as the lead singer of an all-girl group called The Skylarks. However, while on tour out of the country in 1959, Miriam’s passport was revoked after the release in Italy of Come Back, Africa, a secretly filmed anti-apartheid documentary drama in which she appeared.

Featuring an Influx of Precocious Young Standouts, Princeton Men’s Squash Writing Turnaround Story
Y
outh is being served this winter as the P r i n c e t o n U n i v e rsity men’s squash team is enjoying a breakthrough campaign. After going 6-13 last season and 4-10 the year before, Princeton has started 7-1 this winter and is ranked sixth nationally, going with a lineup featuring four freshmen (Youssef Ibrahim at No. 1, Cole Becker at No. 3, Duncan Joyce at No. 6, and Alex Engstrom at No. 9) and two sophomores (Adhitya Raghavan at No. 2 and Gabriel Morgan at No. 7). Coming into the season, Princeton head coach Sean Wilkinson sensed that his squad was on the verge of turning the corner. “We knew we were good but we weren’t really sure where we would end up at the end of the first semester,” said Wilkinson, who is in his fifth season at the helm of the program. “It was just train hard. Let’s not set any unrealistic expectations and let’s just see how good we actually are.” I r o n i c a l l y, P r i n c e t o n showed how good it could be in its only setback of the season, a 5-4 loss to No. 3 St. Lawrence on December 2.
“We haven’t come close to St. Lawrence in the last few years,” said Wilkinson. “They are a good team, they are experienced. They are really loaded with seniors and we are the complete opposite. We are so young so we knew that would be tough. We played well, 5-4 is a really good result for us even though we don’t like to lose. That 5-4 score sends a message to everyone and people took notice of that.” The Tigers sent another message in the opening weekend of Ivy League action, topping Brown 9-0 on January 13 and beating Yale 8-1 a day later, the latter result being the first win over the Bulldogs since 2013. “There were a couple of things in that match as a coaching staff we weren’t terribly keen about,” said Wilkinson, reflecting on the Brown win. “It is hard to argue the 9-0 win but I knew I needed to say listen, these are things we need something to improve on. There were some preparation issues that I wasn’t happy with. I brought it up, the guys acknowledged it, and they nailed it. They were so ready to go and that is just a credit to the guys.”
The play of Ibrahim in the top spot has made Wilkinson very happy. “He is fantastic, he is 8-0 right now,” said Wilkinson, noting that junior Clark Doyle, senior co-captain Abhimanyu Shah, and Engstrom are also undefeated. “Coming in we knew that this boy was going to be one of the best players in college squash and probably in the history of Princeton squash. He is up there with Yasser El Halaby (a four-time national individual campion for Princeton from 2003-06); that is not to put pressure on him. He is used to the big stage, he has dealt with that kind of pressure. This is a kid that has been touted at all levels of squash around the world.” The Tigers boast a potent one-two punch at the top of their lineup with Raghavan thriving at No. 2, after earning All-American and All-Ivy honors playing at No. 1 last year. “I think there is a difference between playing 1 and 2,” said Wilkinson of Raghavan, who has posted a 7-1 record so far this season. “Adhitya just works incredibly hard to get better. He is a much better player this year than he was last year and i think that is
showing. He has turned the corner for sure; he is vastly improved player.” Doyle has also shown a lit of improvement, starring in the No. 4 spot. “Doyle has done fantastically well, unfortunately he has been plagued with injury since he showed up on campus and now he is 8-0,” said Wilkinson. “It is wonderful to have him fully fit and healthy. He is happy, the team is happy. It is really great to have him back in the lineup and healthy; it has made a difference throughout the program.” Senior leaders Shah and Komron Shavegan have been making a difference. “We have two really motivated captains; Komron and Abhi have done a fantastic job,” said Wilkinson. “Abhi was a captain last year as well, he has gone through it before.” With the College Squash Association national team championships slated for late February, Princeton is poised to go far in that competition. “We are physically better than we ever have been, we are mentally better than we ever have been, and we have more talent than we have in a long while,” said Wilkinson. “The reality is that the current squad is one of the best that Princeton has ever had.”

In the meantime, the Tigers will deal with the reality of a tough road swing as it plays at Penn on January 31, at Harvard on February 3, and at Dartmouth on February 4. “ We p l a y We d n e s d a y, Saturday, and Sunday; it is a big ask for these kids but they are ready to do it,” said Wilkinson.
“All we can do is go by the process and take every match at a time and keep sending the right message. We will see how it pans out. Right now we are in a good position; the boys have done well.” —Bill Alden

He is the guy from Trenton Catholic, but Richmond Aririguzoh brings a lot more than local f lavor to the Princeton University men’s basketball team. Born in Italy, Aririguzoh speaks four languages and is handling a pre-med class load. On the cour t, the 6’9, 220 -pound for ward is emerging as a key contributor at center for the Tigers. Last Sunday, Aririguzoh contributed eight points and eight rebounds as Princeton defeated Division III foe Rowan 86-60 in its first action after a 15-day hiatus for exams. “It is good for us to just get back out there with the whistles; it is definitely different than in practice,” said Aririguzoh, who also had three assists and two blocked shots in the win. “We had a good week but now we have got to test ourselves and see that we have to bring it every day. There were moments here where we didn’t bring it. Personally at times I wasn’t as sharp as I could have been. I tried to fix that in the second half and bring the intensity more.” Aririguzoh acknowledged that navigating through exams requites a channeling of intensity. “I have learned to differentiate between the classroom and the court,” said Aririguzoh. “The coaches say where you are, be engaged. It can definitely get to you if you are not prepared. I am still working on that completely, giving my mind to the game while I am in the game and worrying about all of that other stuff when I am taking finals. But now we are definitely glad it is over and back to being in the gym.” In reflecting on his game, Aririguzoh knows he still has plenty to work on. “My defense has been a steady climb from when I got here,” said Aririguzoh, who is averaging 2.6 points and 1.9 rebounds a game this season. “I remember those first couple of months, I was kind of struggling but all the coaches encouraged me, the strength and conditioning coach helped me get more coordination. Being a physical presence, that is another work in progress. I have improved in rebounding a little bit and then just post work, it went from nonexistent to a little bit now.” G oing to college near home has been enjoyable for Aririguzoh. “It is definitely more fun than I thought it would be because you have all of the local support,” said Aririguzoh. “It is always fun playing for the town.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Mitch Henderson is sup portive of Aririguzoh’s many pursuits. “Rich does more with his time than just about any of the other guys,” said Henderson. “He is a hard worker; he is a pre-med. He is challenged in so many different ways throughout the course of his day but he always works. He is local but he is from a lot of different places, we celebrate that too.”
I n H e n d e r s o n’s v i e w, Aririguzoh’s hard work on the court is paying off. “The difference I see from freshman year to sophomore is like a 40-year-old man compared to what he was last year,” said Henderson. “He is learning to play, he just has to keep playing. I challenged him to get more rebounds. I said you have got to get eight and he got eight. I think he had one or two at halftime. He got a huge offensive rebound and
a putback early in the second half. Now he just has to make his free throws.” While the game against Rowan predictably turned into a rout, Princeton benefitted from getting back to work as it improved to 10-8. “We needed to play, I didn’t think we were that sharp,” said Henderson. “When I first got here, coach [Pete] Carril said always, always play the game.
Last year, I didn’t and I thought we were a little rusty coming out. We may still be rusty but it is just getting used to the rhythms of officials being out there and putting the uniforms on. I got a little upset at the guys at halftime but mostly because I have high standards.” Shaking off the rust was critical for the Tigers as they resume Ivy League action by hosting Yale on February 2 and Brown on February 3. “It is a big weekend, we are home three in a row,” said Henderson, whose team also hosts Penn on February 6. “It is a huge week, but it starts with Yale on Friday. Both teams present a lot of challenges. Brown is playing really well and so is Yale. We will be ready.” In dealing with the challenges that he faces on a daily basis, Aririguzoh has been helped by his older bother, Franklin, a junior star for the Princeton men’s track team and his hoops teammates. “I talked to him about being a student athlete, when I was worrying about all of that stuff coming in,” said Aririguzoh. “He told me how he deals with it. It is not just my brother but all of my teammates. I feel my team is even more helpful with that because we are always together.” —Bill Alden

Boasting Talent Throughout Its Lineup, Undefeated PU Women’s Squash Ranked No. 1
For the Princeton University women’s squash team, inserting three freshmen into its starting lineup has made it stronger from top to bottom. “We have a good mix, people that were higher are now in the middle,” said Princeton head coach Gail Ramsay, whose squad is 9-0 and now ranked No. 1 nationally. “We are competitive with everybody because we are deeper.” A lot of that increased depth is thanks to the trio of newcomers with freshman Raneem El Torky playing at No. 2 with classmate Grace Doyle at No. 3 and Emme Leonard at No. 6. “El Torky is an Egyptian
player who went to Milton Academy (Mass.) for three years and had to adjust to being here,” said Ramsay. “Now she is able to work harder on her game; she is doing pretty well overall. I thought she would definitely help. Doyle has been a little injured. She has come around now and is back in the lineup. Leonard is better than I thought she would be at the start. She is a really hard worker, she is really determined.” Senior star Olivia Fiechter has shown determination, overcoming injures to produce an undefeated start at No.1. “Olivia is back and she is doing well so far,” said Ram-

say. “She has had some good wins, considering that she hadn’t played a lot of matches in the last two years. She is not perfect but she is able to play in back-to-back. She is better than most of the girls period whether she is 100 percent or not.” The bottom third of the lineup of Kira Keating at No. 7, Isabel Hirshberg at No. 8, and sophomore Madison Soukup at No. 9 is formidable, playing a key role with a sweep in Princeton’s dramatic rally over No. 2 Trinity that saw the Tigers overcome a 4-1 deficit to post a 5-4 victory. “Kira is a captain with good experience,” said Ramsay. “Izzy has played as high as two for us so she knows how to put it together. She is a hard player to play. Madison is coming into her own; she is a very good athlete and an improving squash player.” Junior Samantha Chai and sophomore Morgan Steelman have bolstered the middle spots, playing at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. “Sam played pretty high last year; she was at No. 3 a couple of times,” said Ramsay. “She is determined, competitive, and is fit. She is smart, she doesn’t make a lot of silly mistakes. She stays with it and often ends up wearing her opponent down, which is the name of the game. Morgan is a little bit injured but she is managing it better now. She needs to add a couple of things to her game to really feel comfortable where she is right now.” With the Tigers hitting the road for matches at Penn in January 31, at Harvard on February 3, and at Dartmouth on February 4, Princeton will need to compete hard to remain undefeated. “The Penn match will be tough because we are away; they have had an in-and-out lineup because of injury,” said Ramsay. “Harvard will really be a challenge, because on paper, they are a little better than we are. On a given day with a little nerves you never know.” Looking ahead to the Howe Cup national championships in mid-February, Ramsay sees her team as a title contender. “If we stay healthy moving forward, I think we are in the mix,” said Ramsay. “I have to say that there are some pretty good teams out there and if we don’t take care of business, anything can happen.” —Bill Alden

CELEBRATING HISTORY: Members of the Princeton High boys’ track team celebrate last Sunday after they placed first at the Mercer County Track Indoor Championships in the Lavino Field House at the Lawrenceville School. It was the first-ever indoor county crown for the program, which last earned the outdoor county title in 1982. Even though the Princeton High boys’ track team appeared to have the pieces in place to win the Mercer County Track Indoor Championships last Sunday, Ben Samara knew nothing was guaranteed. “We knew we were the favorites going in, but as I said to the guys on the bus, that doesn’t really matter because we were the favorites indoors and outdoors last year too,” said PHS boys’ head coach Samara, noting that PHS had never won the indoor county title and last earned the outdoor crown in 1982. “You have to get the job done and that is the bottom line.” PHS went out on the Lavino Field House track at the Lawrenceville School and proceeded to get the job done in emphatic fashion, piling up 79 points to take first with WW/P-North coming in second with 64. “This is the culmination of a lot of effort by a lot of different people — athletes, parents and coaches,” said Samara. “We are really happy for the guys and the program.” In winning the title, PHS showed its depth. Senior star Will Hare took second in 1600 (4:19.63) then doubled back to win the 3,200 (9:24.30). Sophomore Simon Schenk won the pole vault (14’6) and junior Paul Brennan took first in the shot put ( 52’ 8 ). Senior Varun Narayan placed first in the long jump (21-7) with junior Nils Wildberg taking second (21-5) and fourth in the triple jump (41-11.5). Sophomore Matt Perello f in ished s econd in 20 0 (23.36). “We are really just proud of the way the program has developed, it is a complete team effort,” said Samara. “You look at our county champions, we are really covering the events across the board. It is something that coach [Jim] Smirk and I have been talking about for years in developing our program. We have really tried to cultivate that.” Senior distance star and Penn-bound Hare has developed into a closer for the Little Tigers. “The guys from South and North really tried to push him in the beginning of that 2-mile. They tried to break him, and Will Hare never
breaks,” said Samara. “I think they thought he was going to be tired from the mile and a couple of t ho s e g u ys were f re s h. About halfway through that race, he started to pull away and on the back stretch, he passed by and he looked right at me and he smiled. He just buried them. That was one of my favorite moments of the meet, and that is when I knew that I could relax a little bit; we are going to do this.” Despite being hampered by nagging injuries, jumpers Narayan and Wildberg produced superb performances. “Those two guys fought through some tough early j u mp s a n d r e a l ly c a m e through at the end,” said Samara. “To go 1-2 with the condition they are in is incredible.” The pair of pole vaulter Schenk and junior throwing star Brennan have emerged as constants for PHS. “Simon started when everyone else was done,” said Samara, noting that Schenk set his indoor PR and the indoor school record in the win. “He went for 14’6 because it qualifies him for indoor nationals. He wanted to make sure that he did that. With Simon and Paul, we mark those 20 points down and didn’t even think about it. To have those two guys be so consistent is incredible.” The Little Tigers got an incredible effort from junior Kevin Linko in the pole vault. “The big surprise in the pole vault was Kevin grabbing third place,” added Samara. “Over the last couple of weeks, he has really come
on strong. That was six huge points for us.” Sprinter Perello came up huge in taking second in the 200, having suffered from the flu earlier in the week. “He was saying, ‘coach I am running. I don’t know what is going to happen, but I am running,’ and he come out and had a tough 55 dash,” said Samara. “I think he was still adjusting to coming back off that illness and then in the 200, he matched his personal best and just left everything out there. It was just an incredible performance coming off the tough week that he had.” Junior Jack Phelan enjoyed a breakthrough in the triple jump, taking sixth. “Jack is a guy that just star ted triple jumping a week and a half ago. To come out and jump 41’2 and to get sixth in the county, he has found his niche,” said Samara. “He has been looking for a year and a half. Where is he going to go? Is he going to high jump, is he going to hurdle, is he going to long jump? He has settled in and got us a big point.” In Samara’s view, a big factor in the team’s success is a deep appreciation of the program’s lore. “The guys on this team really, really understand what we were trying to do; they put their heart and soul into it because they understand the history behind it,” said Samara. “I think helping the guys on this team to understand the history and the people that have come before them is one of the reasons why we have been able to build this thing up to where it is.
We are building off of history and building off of each other. It means something to them; these guys really get it.” PHS will be looking to make more history in two weeks when it competes in the Central Group 4 indoor sectional meet meet on February 10. “That is going to be interesting because there are events that are in the county that aren’t in the sectional meet,” said Samara, noting the program at that meet doesn’t include the long jump, triple jump, or 200. “That pretty much nullifies a lot of our points, so we are going to have to have kids step up. Distance is going to have to carry more of the load. We are going for three in a row; I think we have a good shot.” —Bill Alden

Della Rocca Makes Superb Debut at Counties, Helping PHS Girls’ Swim Team Finish 3rd Becca Della Rocca fed off the constant din of cheering, starting guns, and team chants filling the air at the WW/P-North pool last Saturday as she competed in her first Mercer County Swimming Championships. “It is so awesome. I love the energy, it is so cool,” said
Della Rocca, a freshman star for the Princeton High girls’ squad. “I was excited and I was really nervous. I was worrying about adding time, but everything went pretty well.” Things actually went really well for Della Rocca at the county meet as she placed
first in the 400-meter freestyle, second in the 100 butterfly and did the anchor leg for the victorious 400 free relay team. Della Rocca’s heroics helped PHS take third in the team standings with host WW/P-North winning the title. Reflecting on her day, Della
ROCK STAR: Princeton High girls’ swimmer Becca Della Rocca displays her freestyle form in a meet earlier this season. Last Saturday, freshman star Della Rocca made a superb debut as she competed in her first Mercer County Swimming Championships.

Rocca was proud of her effort in the 100 fly. “I just tried my best; I thought maybe I did have a chance to win,” said Della Rocca. “It gave me confidence going into the 400 free.” Exuding confidence, Della Rocca cruised to the title in the 400 free, clocking a time of 4:35.63. “I always think about it as eight 50s, my plan was just to descend the 50s and get faster,” said Della Rocca. “I felt really confident when I jumped in.” In the 400 free relay, Della Rocca jumped into her anchor leg, looking to go as fast as she could. “I didn’t want to lose the lead,” said Della Rocca. “I am a distance swimmer so I just try my best to hold it. I was so excited.” PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz was excited to see her girls end the meet on a high note with the breakthrough performance in the 400 free relay. “I said girls let’s just give everything we have got; for them to come out and win and drop seven seconds from what we did yesterday,” said Misiewicz. “I have no idea where that
time came from; I couldn’t be more proud of them.” Misiewicz was proud of the team collectively as it placed a strong third. “It is phenomenal,” said Misiewicz. Going into this, I was thinking we were sitting somewhere around fourth or fifth in the middle of things and we ended up third.” Della Rocca was in the middle of things all afternoon for the Little Tigers. “Becca was crucial,” said Misiewicz of Della Rocca, who also competes for the X-Cel club program. “She was the anchor in the 400 free relay, the butterfly leg in the medley, winning the 400 in a dominant way, coming a close second to a senior from Lawrence in the 100 fly so a phenomenal performances for her.” Another crucial performer for PHS was senior cocaptain Emily Curran, who placed fifth in the 50 free and sixth in the 100 free. “She always gives 110 percent when she is in the water for sure; she is a captain this year and someone who is really, really a leader of this team,” said Misiewicz, who also cited the efforts of sophomore Cammie Davis and freshman Ella Caddeau at the county meet. “She is someone who had
so many injuries last year that prevented her from swimming. It would have been so easy for her to say I am just going to take the year off and focus on club in college. She was in two A finals today and key on that last relay and the anchor on the medley really. She is a phenomenal swimmer and exactly what you want to have on your team.” In the view of Misiewicz, the team’s superb performance at the county meet bodes well going into the state tournament. “I think this really shows us what we can do and all of the potential that we truly have; going into this, the dual meet record really goes out the window,” said Misiewicz. “It is whoever comes in, shows up, and wants it more. I think, today, it really showed that Princeton wanted this. Della Rocca, for her part, is enjoying showing what she can do at the high school level. “The biggest challenge is that there are a lot of people watching,” said Della Rocca. “It is not just something I want to just do for fun, everyone really cares about it. The team is so great. I love everyone on the team, they are so nice.” —Bill Alden

H av i n g lo s t 26 -24 to Hightstown in late December, the Pr inceton High girls’ basketball team was eager for the rematch when the foes met last week. “We were very fired up, we really wanted revenge,” said PHS junior star Catherine Dyevich. “We knew we could beat that team, and the first game was one of the worst games we have played this season.” The Little Tigers came out firing in the January 23 contest, jumping out to a 19-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. “In a lot of games where we have a better start, we play the game better,” said Dyevich, who scored seven points in the first quarter. “In the Robbinsville game (a 38-25 win on January 9) we had the same start and we finished off beating them.” With Dyevich ending up with 20 points, including draining three 3-pointers in the third quarter, PHS finished strong as it pulled away to a 60-28 win. “It is our first time scoring 60 points this season, so that is a huge accomplishment,” said Dyevich. “Everyone got the chance to play, everyone did really well, and everyone contributed to the win so it is just great.” In reflecting on her performance, Dyevich said that getting off to a hot start paved the way for her big game. “W hen I star t mak ing them early in a game my confidence increases so it is
e a s i e r f o r m e ,” s a i d Dyevich. “That is definitely a trend with me in all of my basketball career that if my confidence is increased, I shoot so much better.” With PHS improving to 8-7 after a 57-32 win over Princeton Day School last Friday, Dyevich believes the team is headed in the right direction. “We are really turning the corner, especially compared to last year,” said Dyevich, who scored 20 points in the win over the Panthers. “I think we have a chance in these next few games to get some more wins and end with a winning record, which is our goal.” In Dyevich’s view, a special team chemistr y has helped get the Little Tigers on the winning track. “We are a very cohesive team, we all really want to win and we are eager to win,” said Dyevich, who is one of four key juniors on the squad along with Erin Devine and the Intartaglia twins, Anna and Olivia. “We love playing well together and when we play as a team, we play so much better. We are a very close junior class and we work together real well. We have been playing together since middle school so that is where a lot of that cohesion has come from.” PHS head coach Dave Kosa sensed that his players were fired up for the rematch with Hightstown. “They gave us our first loss and they beat us so we
learned from it,” said Kosa. “It is a long season and we just want to keep playing better and be ready at the end of the season.” In Kosa’s view, the constant work ethic displayed by his players is starting to pay dividends. “We are playing well, we are playing much better,” said Kosa. “We have worked really, really hard to get to this point and all of the hard work is starting to pay off right now.” PHS has certainly been get ting some ver y good work from Dyevich. “Cat was in a zone today; it was her mom’s birthday too so maybe it was a birthday present to her too, but I will take that any day,” said Kosa. “She is shooting confidently too; there are times where she does that in practice. In a couple of games she was pressing a little bit and we have tried to get her to relax. Today she looked real relaxed.” In the win over Hightstown, PHS featured good offensive balance as Devine tallied 16 points with Olivia Intartaglia chipping in seven and Shaylah Marciano and Taylor Stone scoring six apiece. “They are crashing the boards, they are really versatile so we are trying to use that,” said Kosa. “We have a really good mix and they are starting to jell together.” While the Little Tigers looked particularly sharp offensively against Hightstown, Kosa was just as excited about the team’s defensive effort. “We are really priding ourselves on playing good defense because that keeps us in ball games,” said Kosa, whose team is slated to play at Notre Dame on February 1 and at WW/P-South on February 5. “There are times where we just don’t shoot the ball well. In the first game that we played against them, we only had five points in the second half. We knew that coming in so we just let it all hang out tonight.” Dyevich, for her part, is looking for PHS to build on its superb performance against Hightstown. “Our practices are all really tough and we know when we have a poor practice we have to pick it up the next time,” said Dyevich. “We know when we have good practices it definitely leads to better play in the games. We have to keep working and not get complacent and have this lead to more wins the rest of the season.” —Bill Alden

Route 206 • Belle Mead TOP CAT: Princeton High girls’ basketball player Catherine Dyevich puts up a shot in recent action. Last week, junior star Dyevich scored 20 points in consecutive games as PHS defeated Hightstown 60-28 on January 23 and then beat Princeton Day School 57-32 last Friday. On Saturday, Dyevich contributed 12 points and 15 rebounds as the Little Tigers fell 55-48 to Stuart Country Day in a result under protest due to PHS head coach David Kosa’s contention that the Tartans used a player in more than the limit of five quarters between the junior varsity and varsity games.

Fueled by 1-2 Sprinting Punch of Barberis, Reyen, PHS Boys’ Swimming Places 5th at County Meet Dan B arb er is and Je shurun Reyen have formed a potent one-two punch in the sprinting events this winter for the Princeton High boys’ swimming team. Last Saturday at the Mercer County Championships held in the W W/ P-North pool, the pair worked side by side, literally, to help PHS take fifth in the team standings at the competition won by Notre Dame. Senior Barberis swam in lane five in the 50-meter freestyle and took fourth while sophomore Reyen was in lane six and came in sixth. In the 100 free, Barberis placed fifth swimming out of lane two while Reyen came in sixth as he competed in lane one. “They were going headto-head, which really helped the competition between the two of them,” said PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz. “They really push each other a lot and they were next to each other in both the 50 and 100.”
Misiewicz liked the way her other swimmers competed as Charlie Yandrisevits took 10th in the 200 free and ninth in the 400 free while Oliver Tennant placed ninth in the 200 free and the 100 free with Karl Lackner coming in sixth in the 100 backstroke. “I thought the boys swam really, really well,” said Misiewicz. “After taking the last two years off to focus on club, Charlie said let me come back and be part of the high school team again this year. He has been phenomenal. He is such a huge
help, exactly what we needed. Lackner made the final in the 100 back. Oliver did well in the 200 free.” With the boys’ squad having posted an 8-3 record in dual meet competition this season, Misiewicz is hoping that it can build on the good effort at the counties as it heads into the state tournament. “We are in a different section this year,” said Misiewicz. “The true competitors that we will see in our section are W W/ P-Nor th and WW/P-South because we moved to Central B this year instead of North 2, so fingers crossed.” —Bill Alden

PDS Boys’ Hockey Edges Lawrenceville As Friedman Scores Game-Winning Goal Russell Friedman had January 25 circled on his calendar for a while as it marked the annual clash between the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team and local rival Lawrenceville. “It is my favorite day of the year and being a senior it is super special,” said PDS forward and assistant captain Friedman. “It is crazy how important it is. The school gets up for it and this year it was the most exciting I have ever seen it.” After neither team scored a goal in the first period at a jam-packed McGraw Rink, PDS gave the home fans something to cheer about as it jumped into the lead early in the second period on a goal by Coby Auslander. “The first goal, especially in a game like this, is really going to get you going,” said Friedman. “It is real important to get that first goal. That really sparked us and we got more comfortable.” Lawrenceville tied the game at 1-1 early in the third period and then Friedman got one of the most important goals. “I got the puck off the boards, curled up, and then I shot it short side and there was a really small gap,” recalled Friedman. “It hit off his hip and went in. I knew it went in right from when I shot it. No one else knew so there was a delayed reaction there.” With Nic Petruolo notching an empty net tally in the last minute of the contest to seal the deal in a 3-1 victory for the Panthers, Friedman’s game-winning tally will always be etched in his mind. “Right now, it really doesn’t hit home, but I am sure once the season is over and I graduate and look back, it is going to mean a lot,” said Friedman. “I am really happy that I could leave PDS with that memory.” Friedman has been happy to assume a leadership role this winter for the Panthers, serving as an assistant captain. “We looked up to kids, Connor Fletcher was a junior when I was a freshman and then we had seniors like Harrison Latham and kids like that,” said Friedman. “You look up them and now I have to help lead the group. It is really different and it is something to embrace. I really enjoy it.” The win over the Big Red capped an emotional week for PDS as it topped Hun two
days earlier in a shootout after the neighboring foes tied 4-4 through regulation and overtime. “That is huge, two big wins against two rivals,” said Friedman. “It is really special to be wearing your school’s logo and getting big wins like that. It is not so much about individual points, it is just about the wins. It is a great time.” While Friedman is focused on team goals, he has worked hard to contribute more individually. “I play at a pretty high level of club hockey,” said Friedman, who competes for the N.J Titans U-18 premier team. “I have grown a lot in that program and it has helped carry over into high school. Club is so high paced and it prepares me for high school. It is a little bit of a slower pace but we are playing good competition here. I have a lot of confidence after I play club games.” PDS head coach Scott Bertoli liked the way his players fed off the high level of excitement at the rink for the clash with Big Red. “You have to appreciate it,” said Bertoli. “The first thing I told them is I want you to go out and have fun and embrace this opportunity because most kids that get to play high school athletics don’t get to play in an environment that fun, that loud, and that intense.” Bertoli appreciates the intensity that Friedman brings to the ice. “There has been a few kids, Ty Eastman is one of them, Chip Hamlett is another, and then Russell, that have really taken their game to another level this year,” said Bertoli. “Russell has always played the game hard; he competes the full 200 feet so it is just nice to see a kid like that started getting rewarded for all of his hard work. He deserves to score a goal in a big game like that with the right opportunity. His compete
level is off the chart.” PDS senior goalie Boris Gorelenkov competed hard against the Big Red, recording 29 saves in the win. “In some of the biggest moments this year and some of the biggest games, he has made saves when he had to and that is encouraging,” said Bertoli. “He didn’t have a great game against Hun but when it came down to it in the shootout, he makes the save that puts us in position to win the game. Tonight in the third period, he made some really good saves.” The Panthers produced a good overall effort in overcoming Lawrenceville. “I like the way we played today,” said Bertoli. “We got the puck down low, we did a lot of things that allow us to be successful. What I think I am proud of is that where we let games slip away last year, we have found ways to finish those games off this year.” With PDS having clinched second place in the MidAtlantic Hockey League (MAHL) and a home game in the league semifinals, Bertoli is looking for a big finish. “I like our group and I like our chances against anyone,” maintained Bertoli, whose team topped Bishop Eustace 6-2 last Monday to improve to 13-6-1 and is slated to host Malvern Prep (Pa.) on January 31 and Chatham on February 5. “Of all the things that I am proud for this program, it is to be a part of that league and have success in that league. We want to put ourselves in a position to play for that championship game. One of the other goals was to put ourselves in position to host a semifinal game, now we have taken care of that.” In Friedman’s view, the Panthers have what it takes to win a championship. “I am confident in this group,” asserted Friedman. “We are not the biggest kids, but we play hard and have some skills too. It is a lot of excited kids having a lot of fun.” —Bill Alden

held its Senior Night last Wednesday as Hun hosted the Portledge School (N.Y.), Hebert enjoyed sharing the moment with his Hun family. “I was thankful for my parents and the coach and hoping that we win this game,” said Hebert, who has served as an assistant captain this winter. But a day after rallying from a 3-1 deficit to tie Princeton Day School 4-4 through regulation and overtime before losing in a shootout, the Raiders didn’t get the win as they fell 9-5 to Portledge. “The guys were probably tired,” said Hebert. “The penalties were bad tonight, I think that was the worst game of the year for sure.” For Hebert, playing on a line this winter with junior star Kyle Mandleur and freshman standout Matt Argentina has been one of the best things

It was Guillaume Hebert’s dream to play ice hockey at an American prep school. The Quebec City, Quebec native found a home in New Jersey in 2016 after crossing paths with Hun School hockey coach Ian McNally. “I did a showcase in Montreal and coach McNally saw me there,” said Hebert, who previously attended the Academie Saint-Louis in Quebec and played for its hockey program. Upon arriving at Hun, Heber t struggled in the classroom as he only spoke French. Bonding with his hockey teammates helped Hebert gained a comfort level in his new surroundings. “Last year the group of seniors helped,” said Hebert. “There were nine seniors and we were good friends.” When the Hun program

about his senior campaign. “They are probably going to be NHL players; they will be D-I for sure,” said the 6’0, 190-pound Hebert, who picked up two assists in the loss to Portledge. “I just hope I can play D-III next year or in two years. My job was just to be big man on their line trying to pass the puck and make them score.” Hun head coach Ian McNally likes how Hebert has grown into being a key man for the Raiders, “Guillaume has contributed offensively this year so he has been a big part; he has been a necessary secondary scorer for us this year,” said McNally. “Even his English has vastly improved in two years. He has come to very much love Hun to the point where he has a younger sister who wants to come.” The team’s love for its seniors was expressed in the pregame ceremony as Joseph Corcoran, Kyle DePalma, Nicholas Aubry, and Joseph Hoffman were honored along with Hebert. “It is a neat group because there were five kids that played today and four of them I have known since they were little kids,” said McNally. “It is not just the four years of high school; I have gotten to know them all the way through.” The Raiders, though, didn’t get a lift from the Senior Night celebration. “We came out incredibly flat, there was no emotion on the bench,” said McNally. “It was a very disappointing stretch. If we score five goals on a team, you know you can score on them. It would have been nice to have won 5-2 but we chose a different path and took penalties.” After falling behind 6-2 late in the second period, Hun trimmed the margin to 6-4 with 17:09 left in regulation, appearing poised to make its second rally in two days. “I did think maybe we could come back and then we took another penalty and they scored a goal; that has been the story of all the blowout losses,” said McNally. “We were hopeful, even in the third period with 10 minutes left. I never doubted that we could score more goals; we just kind of kept cutting our leg off there.” McNally is hopeful that Hun can make another championship run in the upcoming Mercer County Tournament as it goes for a fifth straight title. “Guys who have been here two, three years, they only know winning the Mercer County Tournament,” said McNally, whose squad lost 6-2 to Gloucester Catholic last Monday to fall to 9-8-2 and will play at St. Augustine on February 9 before starting action in the MCT. “I assume the goal will be to want to continue that. Once you win a couple in a row, no one wants to be the class that doesn’t win. We will shoot for that.” Hebert, for his part, has some unfinished business in connection with the MCT. “Last year, I broke my collarbone in the final so I couldn’t celebrate with the guys,” recalled Hebert. “They came to the hospital with the trophy. This year hopefully I will be there to celebrate for the final.” —Bill Alden

1. Order copies of your credit report. Look them over carefully and report any errors immediately so they can be corrected. 2. Don’t apply for new credit or loans. Doing so could cause your credit score to drop or have a negative bearing on how a mortgage lender views you as a prospective borrower. 3. Check your debt-to-income ratio. Pay down credit cards as much as you can, but don’t empty your savings entirely. 4. Arrange for your down payment. Having an adequate down payment means you can avoid PMI, and it can also help in the mortgage approval process. 5. Be realistic about how much home you can afford. Selling price is just one factor; don’t forget recurring costs like insurance and property taxes. 6. Have an idea of what your closing costs might be. When you sign the contract for your new home, you can expect to pay somewhere between 2 percent and 5 percent of the home’s cost in fees. Doing your financial homework means you'll be in a better position to make an offer - and it also helps avoid unpleasant surprises down the road.
