Two Incumbents, One Newcomer in Council Race So Far With the filing deadline for running in the June primary election seven weeks away, efforts are stepping up to secure places on the ballot for seats on Princeton Council and the office of mayor. Democrats Leticia Fraga and David Cohen, whose three-year terms on Princeton Council conclude at the end of this year, will run for re-election. Newcomer Dina Shaw has announced her candidacy for one of those seats. Mark Freda, also a Democrat, is the only candidate so far to announce a run for mayor (Liz Lempert will not run for a third term), and he will officially kick off his campaign at an event Wednesday, February 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Italian-American Sportsmen’s Club. Fraga, the first Latinx person to hold elected office in Princeton, serves as the town’s police commissioner on the Public Safety Committee, and liaison to the Youth Advisory Committee and Board of Health. She is Council’s elected representative on the Civil Rights Commission and Human Services Commission. “I see a second term as a chance to amplify the momentum, goodwill, and expertise I developed in my first three years, and to work alongside colleagues — elected and volunteer — to build on our accomplishments,” she said. “My approach to government is to endorse policies and form partnerships that support equity, inclusivity, and well-being, and that keep government responsive and transparent.” Cohen’s term on Council has included work on land use policies to encourage smart growth, alternative transport options, more sustainable development, advocacy for seniors, affordable housing negotiations, and ensuring emergency preparedness in the face of climate change. A press release announcing his decision to run for a second term referred to his work with Fraga. “Their areas of interest and expertise dovetail perfectly,” it reads. “Ms. Fraga’s commitment to advocating for the marginalized members of our community — her work on the Civil Rights and Human Services commissions, and with our Public Safety Committee — allows Councilman Cohen to focus on his committee assignments with complete confidence that these other crucial functions of local government will be guided with a steady Continued on Page 9

Judge Approves Affordable Housing Settlement Princeton’s plan for affordable housing was approved by Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson on Friday, February 7. The settlement agreement between the municipality and the Fair Share Housing Center ends litigation dating back to 2015. The municipality now moves into the compliance phase of the process, with a hearing planned for June. Several steps must be taken before that time, involving zoning changes, agreements, updates, and a spending plan, among other actions. “There will be several ordinances that Council will be considering, required as part of the plan,” Mayor Liz Lempert said on Monday. The all-day hearing was held to make sure the plan is fair, and protects the interests of low and moderate income households. There were objections by several parties, including the Princeton Progressive Action Group and the owners of The Ivy Inn on Nassau Street. According to Lempert, the town also got positive feedback. ”Judge Jacobson commended Princeton for exceeding its
affordable obligation and praised the proposed redevelopment of the Thanet property in particular as both an innovative and realistic financing approach to constructing 100 percent senior affordable housing,” she said in an email. “Adam Gordon of Fair Share Housing Center also spoke in favor of Princeton’s plan and cited Princeton’s existing developments as model examples of how 100 percent affordable and mixed income communities could both be built and operated successfully.” Along with West Windsor, Princeton entered into litigation nearly five years ago disputing the number of affordable
units that were required by the nowdefunct Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). COAH was created by the New Jersey Legislature in response to the Fair Housing Act of 1985 and a series of rulings known as the Mount Laurel doctrine. As part of the third round, which is the years 1999-2025, Princeton’s obligation was set at 753 units. From past rounds, the town has already built approximately 1,000 units of affordable housing for families and individuals who qualify. Lempert said Monday that she wants to make sure people are aware that there are both Continued on Page 7

TOPICS Of the Town Send Hunger Packing Princeton (SHUPPrinceton) will be honoring Ginsberg at “An Evening of Inspiration” with “a tribute to a career spent nurturing the future” on February 27 at the Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place in Princeton. “Dr. G. has been part of the fabric of our schools for over 30 years and principal of JP for more than 20,” said SHUPPrinceton board member Wendy Regina-Vasquez. “His caring and advocacy for all of our children, but especially the children SHUPPrinceton serves, has made him a beloved member of our community. We’re thrilled to be able to honor him.” Ginsberg emphasized the importance of SHUPPrinceton’s collaborative work with the schools, noting that 25 percent of JP students’ families may have food challenges. “If we provide breakfast and lunch for them during the week, we can support them and help to make sure that we’re meeting their bodily needs as well as their intellectual and academic needs,” Ginsberg said. “If kids are not well fed and taken care of and healthy, certainly that interferes with their ability to focus in school and learn.” The JP mascot is Koko the gorilla, and the school’s Koko Fund uses money raised by the students to help send approximately 100 children each year, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford it, to summer camps in collaboration with the Princeton Recreation

throughout the year, not just holiday times, so that kids know it’s part of what their value system should be.” Commenting on JP, where he took the helm in 1999, Ginsberg reflected in a 2017 interview with Princeton Community TV, “It’s a great cohesive community. I love working here. I could have retired years ago, but it’s not like work when you come here.” He continued, “There’s a supportive, receptive parent population, a phenomenal, competent teaching staff, and wonderful, wonderful kids. What could be better?” Ginsberg noted that JP had recently built an amphitheater, refurbished their outdoor environmental trail, created two classrooms in the woods, and was planning to create a natural terrain playground with an emphasis on inspiring the students’ imagination and creativity. “We’re looking to make this the best school possible,” Ginsberg said, and he went on to add that JP “is a wonderful diverse school. We want to show that that’s the world these kids are going to live in and it’s possible for everybody to get along with each other. We may speak different languages or worship differently, but we can all get along well. This is where it starts. The school has become much more diverse over the years and it works.” He noted the school’s goal to have a staff that’s just as diverse as the student body. Ginsberg went on to point out that, more and more often, the students are taking the lead, with third-graders advising the landscape architect on ideas for the natural terrain playground, the rapidly growing after-school newspaper club giving students the opportunity to work together ”to be the agents of their own learning,” and fifth-graders taking charge of the yearbook that used to be the project of a group of parents. “The fifth-graders put together the book with their ideas and their voices and their images, as opposed to what parents think kids want,” said Ginsberg. “It’s what the kids themselves want to see there.” Ginsberg started his career in 1964 teaching junior high school in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, where his annual salary was $3,600. He faced up to 40 kids in a classroom at a time, and the technology available consisted of a mimeograph machine that produced “those old dittos where the purple stuff came off on your hands.” After earning his doctorate at Cornell University, Ginsberg moved to New Jersey as a gifted and talented supervisor in East Brunswick, then in 1988 came to Princeton as principal at Littlebrook Elementary School before eventually settling in at JP in 1999. In looking forward to the Februar y 27 event with SHUPPrinceton, Ginsberg emphasized that he’s not quite yet ready to retire. “When my wife had a heart attack sevenand-a-half years ago, I said to her, ‘Well, I guess it’s time for me to retire.’ She said to me, ‘Don’t retire. If I have to live with you 24/7 I’ll have another heart attack.’ Every time I bring up the R word, she says ‘go another year.’” —Donald Gilpin

Question of the Week:
“What do you enjoy most about the Chinese New Year festivities and tradition?” (Asked Saturday at the Chinese New Year Celebration at Princeton Public Library) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)
Alice: “My favorite part of the tradition is the food. I feel like most traditional Chinese foods are enjoyed in our country’s culture here, too.” Karen: “Definitely the food, especially the dumplings. Each year, as a tradition, my family and I make them by hand at home for the New Year celebration.” Sophia: “Definitely the food. I love the dumplings, and there’s fish. There are so many things — it’s just all so delicious.” —Alice Yu, Princeton; Karen Oiu, Cranbury; and Sophia Song, Princeton
Jasmine: “Honestly, I love all of it. I love the food and performances. I am part of the Mandarin Program at Princeton High School, and I have truly enjoyed learning about Chinese culture and history.” Ayo: “I actually lived in China for nine years. So when I moved to Princeton it was wonderful to have this program here, and also be able to compare what Chinese New Year is like in China versus here. I think the program does an excellent job.” —Jasmine Mineyazid with Ayo Incu, both of Princeton
Teo: “My favorite part of the celebration is definitely the yo-yo, because I think it symbolizes the Chinese culture and is fun to watch.” Kyara: “My favorite part is the lion dance, because I think it is very interesting how the lions symbolize luck.” —Teo Han Blind with Kyara Torres-Olivares, both of Princeton
Tianyi: “Being with family, watching television shows about Chinese New Year, and eating, singing, and celebrating together.” Boyu: “My favorite part of the Chinese New Year celebration is basically union. All my relatives join together from all over the country to be together and celebrate for the weekend. I also love events like these with culture exchanges and seeing people performing and teaching them what different kinds of Chinese music sound like.” —Tianyi Chang with Boyu Jin, both of Princeton

for-sale and rental units available for a range of income levels, some of which have a “Princeton preference” for those who either work or already live in town. “While these units do not count towards meeting the town’s affordable housing obligation, they comprise an attractive component of Princeton’s affordable housing supply,” she said. “We encourage employers and lowto-moderate income workers who may be interested in living in Princeton to familiarize themselves with the qualifications for the various affordable housing programs and to apply.” Components of the third round affordable housing plan include existing sites such as the affordable units at Copperwood, AvalonBay (at the former Princeton Hospital site), Merwick Stanworth, and other locations. There were 244 qualifying units built during this period, which, including bonus points, count toward a total of 397 credits, said Lempert. Proposed new developments in several areas of Princeton include 44 affordable housing units at Princeton Shopping Center as part of a larger development. At the site of two existing office buildings on Thanet Circle, AvalonBay has plans to build an apartment complex with 221 units, six of which would be affordable and five for individuals with special needs. AvalonBay will also subdivide a parcel and donate it to the town for an age-restricted, affordable housing complex. Twelve affordable units are
planned in a 60-unit, inclusionary development at Terhune and Harrison streets. Also planned are 24 new affordable units at Princeton Community Village, 80 new affordable family rental units at Franklin Avenue and Maple Terrace, and a 65-unit affordable housing project at the former SAVE animal shelter site on Herrontown Road. Rezoning is planned to address shortfalls left over from the second round of obligations. The former Borough has an unmet need of 95 affordable units, which the town has agreed to correct through approval of an ordinance requiring an affordable housing set-aside of 20 percent for all new multi-family residential developments of five or more units throughout the town. Princeton will also create zoning overlays to the Nassau Street corridor to allow for additional housing development that produces affordable units “and contributes to the local economy by adding housing within easy walking distance of transit, shopping, and jobs,” said Lempert. Upcoming public meetings where the zoning ordinances and other measures will be heard include the Planning Board on Tuesday, February 18 at 7:30 p.m., which will be a review of the Thanet Redevelopment Plan and its consistency with the Princeton Master Plan; and a special meeting of Princeton Council on Wednesday, February 19 at 7 p.m. to vote on the Thanet plan, resolutions designating the developers, a redevelopment agreement, a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement, and a financial agreement with Ava-
lonBay.

led by Sustainable Princeton (SP); on “more than just books” at the Princeton Public Library (PPL); and an update on the W-J African American Heritage Mural Project. W-J Neighborhood Association (W-JNA) Chairman Leighton Newlin emphasized the importance of coming together to envision the future of the community. “I’m hoping for more vibrancy, diversity, and inclusivity in WitherspoonJackson,” he said. “I hope the discussions are attended by people from all parts of Princeton. I’m envisioning a historic and engaging promenade that’s colorful in every way — with equity, diversity, and inclusivity.” At the February 15 meeting, to be held at 9:30 a.m., Princeton Council members Leticia Fraga and David Cohen, who are also on the PTF, will discuss plans to address difficulties residents have in finding parking on their streets during the day, as well as the need for parking for employees of local businesses. Among the topics on the agenda will be residential parking permits, a limited number of parking permits for employees, restrictions on the number of hours parking will be allowed without a permit, and parking lots that may be available for employees. Newlin applauded the Council for “looking out for the community” and “bringing the message to the community” on a weekend morning rather than relying on just Council meetings, where evening attendance is difficult for many who would want to participate. The February 22 meeting, also at 9:30 a.m., will be seek-
ing residents’ ideas on pedestrian, bicycling, and transit issues, as well as street lighting, tree and other vegetation additions, public art, seating, and other street furniture. The W-JNA, according to its press release, is hoping to develop a construction timeline “for infrastructure and many other features that will enhance the vibrancy of the Witherspoon Street Corridor and Hinds Plaza.” Also on the February 22 agenda, SP will discuss “Princeton Prepares,” a voluntary community initiative that will help residents be better prepared and help emergency responders to better serve residents who find it difficult to help themselves in the event of a power outage, flooding, a heat wave, extreme weather, or a major disaster. Princeton’s Emergency Services, Health Department, and SP have joined forces to lead this initiative and develop a registry of information that can be used to assist Princeton’s most vulnerable residents before, during, and after an emergency situation. “Sustainable Princeton has been proactive in highlighting and helping residents, and helping first responders to be aware in order to save lives,” said Newlin. “The growth and expansion of municipal services has been helpful. It’s gratifying to see all this in action.” Newlin went on to praise the PPL and its Community Engagement Coordinator Kim Dorman, who will be providing an overview of some of the programs at PPL. Newlin noted projects during Black History Month that are relevant to children of all ethnicities, and a variety of other PPL programs that “are engaging the whole community
and hitting all areas that are important to kids.” Also at the February 22 meeting, John Bailey, director of the Joint Effort Princeton Safe Streets Summer Program, will update the gathering on the W-J African American Heritage Mural Project at the Mary Moss Playground. “This African American mural project is a continuation of the 20th Historic District recognition and the ongoing acknowledgement and uplift of the history and legacy of the black residents who currently and formerly lived in the W-J community,” Bailey said. “The mural project is important because our history is important.” Bailey stated that the mural project has gathered support and ideas from more than 200 current and former residents and is moving forward with fundraising, periodic updates to the community, and ongoing planning. “We hope to have the final mural process and project review completed and approved by the town governing bodies by July and a mural unveiling at the Joint Effort Princeton Safe Streets program in August,” he said. Bailey also announced that a Joint Effort Princeton Safe Streets W-J Black History Month Celebration Reunion and Reception would be taking place on February 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Witherspoon Elks Lodge on Birch Avenue. Bailey noted the timeliness of these discussions and events taking place during Black History Month. “Our history celebrations and our heritage memorials are guideposts for our young people and are important indicators in our community for remembering where we came from,” he said. —Donald Gilpin
Police Blotter On February 6, at 7:36 a.m., multiple 911 calls were made reporting a head-on collision on State Road, south of Valley Road. A 62-year-old male from Trenton and a 48-year-old female from Hillsborough were driving the vehicles that were heavily damaged in the crash, and both were taken to the hospital via Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad ambulances. State Road was shut down in both directions between Birch Avenue and Cherry Hill Road, and was reopened at 8:37 a.m. The investigation is ongoing. On February 5, at 6:31 p.m., a victim reported that they mailed six checks at the mailbox on College Road on January 16 that were stolen. Two of the checks were altered and cashed for $400 and $200. The victim became aware of the theft when a utility company sent them an unpaid balance warning. On February 5, at 5:52 p.m., a resident of George Drive reported that, at 5 a.m., the exterior security camera captured an unknown person attempting to enter their locked vehicles without success. The suspect is described as wearing a white mask, dark colored hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants, Nike light colored shoes with orange trim, and a dark colored cross-body bag. On February 4, at 5:13 p.m., a resident of Van Marter Cour t repor ted that, sometime between February 3 at 9:30 p.m. and February 4 at 7:50 a.m., someone entered their unlocked vehicle and stole a spare key, a document, and $80.
On February 4, at 9:01 a.m., a resident of Meetinghouse Court reported that, sometime between February 3 at 6:15 p.m. and February 4 at 8:45 a.m., someone entered and rummaged through their unlocked vehicle. Nothing appeared to have been stolen. On February 2, at 1:43 a.m., a 32-year-old female from Trenton was charged with DWI, subsequent to a motor
vehicle stop on Mercer Road for speeding and failing to maintain a lane. On February 1, at 1:18 p.m., a resident of Mercer Street reported that, sometime between 2 p.m. on January 31 and 12:30 p.m. on February 1, someone opened their mailbox and removed their 1099 form. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

Blood Donations Needed For Those Fighting Cancer
Patients fighting cancer need more blood than patients fighting any other disease, using nearly onequarter of the nation’s blood supply. That’s why this February, the American Red Cross and the American Cancer Society have teamed up to encourage people across the country to Give Blood to Give Time, ensuring loved ones have the strength and support to battle cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 3 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. An estimated 80,240 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Pennsylvania, 53,340 in New Jersey, and 6,660 in Delaware this year.

Many of these people will likely have a need for blood. “A loved one’s cancer diagnosis often makes families and friends feel helpless. That’s why the Give Blood to Give Time partnership with the American Cancer Society is so important,” said Dr. Pampee Young, chief medical officer, American Red Cross. “When someone donates blood or platelets or makes a financial gift, they are helping to give patients and their families time, resources and the hope they need to fight back.” Some types of chemotherapy can damage bone marrow, reducing red blood cell and platelet production. Other times, the cancer itself or surgical procedures cause the problem. Blood products are often needed. In fact, five units of blood are needed every minute to help someone going through cancer treatment. Yet only 3 percent of people in the United States give blood. More people are needed to donate regularly to help meet the need. Blood donations will be taken in Princeton at Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center, 75 Washington Road, on February 20 and 21 from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. To schedule a blood or platelet donation appointment or make a financial gift, visit GiveBloodToGiveTime.org.

Witherspoon Improvement Meeting Will Kick Off Concept Study To most observers, Hinds Plaza appears to be in reasonably good shape. But the 15-year-old public space next to Princeton Public Library is up for some improvements, according to the town’s engineering and planning departments. Along with Witherspoon Street, the plaza is the focus of a concept study that will begin Thursday, February 13 from 6-8 p.m. with the first of three public gatherings in the main meeting room at the former Borough Hall, 1 Monument Drive. T he mu nicipalit y wants ideas from the public on how to improve these two key areas of town. Feedback will be sought on pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and motor vehicle improvements; street lighting;
tree and other vegetation additions; public art; seating and other street furniture; and any other features that will enhance Witherspoon Street and Hinds Plaza. “The intention isn’t to totally remake Hinds Plaza, but since it’s a major space, we want to look at some improvements,” Mayor Liz Lempert said Monday. “We’d like to explore some additional opportunities for public art. We want to hear from the public. It’s a wonderful space, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved.” Witherspoon Street’s slope causes some problems along its mostly narrow sidewalks, which can be normalized, said Council President David Cohen, adding that the town is studying the Complete Streets
plan as part of the process. “We’re more and more interested in green infrastructure — areas where water can soak in instead of being piped off somewhere.” Plans of the roadway and plaza will be on display at the meetings. The February 13 gathering will begin with a short presentation to review the goals of this master planning process, design, and construction project, and to provide more details on the schedule. The initial focus is on Witherspoon Street. Between now and April, the town plans to hold more public engagement events, surveys, and other outreach efforts regarding the roadway. In April, the schematic design drawings for the entire Witherspoon Street corridor reflecting the master plan for imminent and future improvements will be prepared.

From May through November, work will be done on construction plans for Witherspoon from Nassau to Green streets. The improvements are scheduled to be implemented next year in spring through autumn. And from 2022-2025, improvements to the rest of Witherspoon Street will be designed and built, “as priorities and budgets allow,” according to a press release. Those who can’t at tend the first public meeting who would like to provide written comments by email can send them to engineering@princetonnj.gov. More information can be found at princetonnj. gov/resources/witherspoonstreet-improvement-project. “Witherspoon is a really important street, and we want to reimagine it as a pleasurable, inviting experience,” said Lempert. “Everybody is familiar with it and has opinions, so we see this as being part of a broader community conversation rather than just talking to immediate neighbors. We are hoping to hear from a lot of people.” —Anne Levin

As the epidemic death toll from the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) continues to climb — 1,016 by the end of Monday and more than 43,000 sick, in China mostly but also in 24 other countries — Princeton authorities urge caution and focus on preparedness for whatever might be the next development. “As of February 11, there are currently no cases in New Jersey,” stated Princeton Health Officer Jeffrey Grosser. “The CDC (Center for Disease Control) is stating that the risk to the general public in the United States at this time is low. The CDC is working diligently to identify any new cases in the United States, and when they do, they take every precaution to prevent further illness from spreading.” Grosser noted that eleven U.S airports, including Newark, had implemented entrance screening to identify passengers from China who may be ill. As of Monday, the CDC had reported 13 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV in the U.S. Warning of the spread of the virus, Grosser went on to state that “as surveillance continues, it is expected more cases will be identified. With that said, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is monitoring the situation closely and is proactively preparing guidance documents for public health and health care professionals to be able to effectively respond to any cases that may be identified in the state.” He added, “The Princeton Health Department is actively communicating guidance and recommendations to health care providers to ensure the quickly evolving situation is understood by everyone that
is a key partner in this situation.” The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the proposed official name for 2019-nCoV is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2. The death toll from 2019-nCoV has surpassed the 774 deaths from the SARS epidemic, which lasted from November 2002 to July 2003. Grosser pointed out that the CDC, with travel information specific to the new coronavirus on its website, has recommended avoiding non-essential travel to China. Chinese officials have closed transport within and out of Wuhan and other cities in Hubei Province. Grosser urged Princeton residents who have recently traveled from or are planning to travel to China to avoid contact with sick people; avoid animals (alive or dead), animal markets, and products; wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and use an alcoholbased hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Grosser added that older travelers and those with underlying health issues may be at risk for more severe disease and should discuss travel to China with their health care providers. At Princeton University, University Health Services last week completed comprehensive assessments of nearly 150 members of the University community who had been in China in the previous 14 days. “Based on that assessment, they are not required to selfquarantine and can follow their normal daily routines on campus and elsewhere,” wrote Vice Provost for International Affairs and Operations Aly
Kassam-Remtulla, University Health Services Infectious Disease Physician Irini Daskalaki, and Environmental Health and Safety Executive Director Robin Izzo in a statement to the community. They continued, “Importantly, none of these people are sick or have reported any symptoms consistent with coronavirus.” Princeton University, the writers emphasized, has been following federal and state government guidance, “including from the New Jersey Department of Health, with whom we are in constant contact.” Moving forward, University Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss said that the University was continuing to monitor the situation carefully and “waiting to see what happens in the rest of the world.” Acknowledging students’ concerns, particularly those of students returning to campus from China, Hotchkiss stated, “Our priority at all times has been to protect the health and well-being of all members of the University community. We have been fortunate that no member of the University community has been sick or had symptoms consistent with the coronavirus infection, although we have been ready to deal with this possibility using evidence-based public health and infection control methods while caring for the sick individuals.” —Donald Gilpin
i n for m at ion ab ou t Na z i troop movements by slipping behind enemy lines as a spy. Cohn will share her stor y with the Princeton University community on Thursday, February 27 at McCosh Hall Room 50, at 7 p.m. In “Behind Enemy Lines – An Unforgettable Conversation with Marthe Cohn,” she will discuss the escape of her family from occupied France, her life in the army, how she was trained as a spy, and her
99-Year-Old Spy and Survivor To Share Her Experiences
Mar t he Cohn, bor n in 1920 to a French Jewish family, lived just across the German border when Adolf Hitler rose to power. As a member of the intelligence service of the French First Army, she retrieved inside
Greenwood House at Home
message of hope, Jewish survival, and tolerance. Cohn, who lives with her husband in California, is 99 years old. She travels internationally sharing her story, and has no plans of slowing down. She received numerous awards from the French and German governments i n clu d i n g t h e Me d a l of Merit for helping Germany “become a democracy again and for shortening the war.” “I had an extremely interesting life — sometimes
very harsh, sometimes very pleasant — but always lively,” she recently said. Her message is one of hope, but she implores her listeners to stay engaged and not accept anything that does not agree with their conscience. “Tolerance and acceptance is the only way.” Tickets are free for students, and $10 for the general public.

Freda Committed to Making Princeton “An Equitable and Better Home for All”
To the Editor: I am writing in support of Mark Freda’s candidacy for mayor of Princeton. Those who know this lifelong Princetonian appreciate his quiet intelligence, his broad and nuanced understanding of how our town works, and his humbling commitment to making Princeton an equitable and better home for all. His many years of public service to our town, from the 13 years on the Borough council (five as president) to his long tenure as a volunteer firefighter, which he began at age 18, are proof that he does the hard work. We need only consider the fortitude and determination it took to bring the glorious new PFARS facility to fruition to understand his commitment to our town. As a member of the executive leadership in the Princeton Community Democratic Organization, Mark listened first and then asked questions. He’s running on a platform of transparency and improved communication between municipal leadership and residents. I know we can trust Mark Freda to lead that effort. Mark is a true public servant — honest, a consensus-builder, and a leader. If you don’t already know him, take the opportunity to. CAROLINE CLEAVES Edgehill Street
League of Women Voters Celebrates 100 Years
To the Editor: One hundred years ago, after a long and difficult fight, women in the United States were given the right to vote with the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitu-
tion. That centennial is being celebrated wide and far this year. But you may not know that another milestone for women’s rights happened that year. On February 14, 1920, the League of Women Voters was created by the leaders of the suffrage movement. They wisely recognized that the 20 million new voters would need help to carry out their new responsibilities. The enfranchisement of women was one of the largest peaceful revolutions in history. Women were finally recognized as full citizens. The League of Women Voters was created with a mission of ensuring that the new voters were educated and informed about issues and candidates. The League encouraged women to use their new power to participate in shaping public policy. They believed that maintaining a nonpartisan stance would protect the fledgling organization from becoming mired in the party politics. And 100 years later, that is what we do. The Princeton Area League has members — both men and women — from the Central New Jersey communities of Kendall Park, Kingston, Montgomery, Plainsboro, Princeton, Rocky Hill, South Brunswick, and West Windsor. Our League is one of around 40 chapters in New Jersey and more than 700 in the United States. We work with our national, state, and local chapters continue to register new voters, hold candidate forums, fight voter suppression efforts, and educate our communities about public policy so they have the facts they need to make informed choices. We supported New Jersey legislation for online voting and an end to prison gerrymandering. We are working to ensure a complete count in the upcoming census and the creation of fair legislative districts. Our agenda also includes activities related to the environment, women, and family and immigration. Please join us as we celebrate this important year in the history of our nation and our organization. There will be gatherings and celebrations to mark this centennial. And we will continue to respond to our 100-year-old mission of defending democracy. For more about the Princeton Area League of Women Voters, visit www.lwvprinceton.org.

Concerning “Mayor Lempert Responds To PCTV’s Jan. 29 Open Letter”
To the Editor: Public Access, Educational Access, and Government Access are the three autonomous non-commercial cable channels dedicated to Princeton by Comcast and Verizon. Mayor Lempert writes [Mailbox, Feb. 5]: “… the reality is that the municipality continues to operate a channel that airs Council, Planning, and Zoning Board meetings … the school district operates its own channel that airs its Board meetings… ” What is not acknowledged is that if Princeton Community Access Television ceases operation the public’s voice will be denied the freedom of expression accorded the Princeton Council and the Princeton School Board. Mayor Lempert writes: “PCTV is a local nonprofit … it produces local programming, primarily interview shows. It also provides video production training…” What is not acknowledged is that PCTV produces videos and podcasts to bolster fundraising efforts for Princeton-based nonprofits including the Witherspoon-Jackson Development Corporation, Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and Coalition For Peace Action. Mayor Lempert writes: “Princeton was one of the very few remaining towns in the entire state to fund a local station.” What is not acknowledged is that Princeton’s government is not funding a station, but a television production studio where video productions take place. PCTV is fulfilling its mission of enabling the public’s voice to be aired on television and digital platforms. Mayor Lempert writes: “Communication has been democratized to an extent no one could have imagined when PCTV began ... now it is possible to record and broadcast video across the globe with a smartphone.” What is not acknowledged is that new technology creates possibilities not democracy. As Eric Schmidt, chairman of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Innovation Advisory Board states: “We are naive to believe … that if you just empower the people with new communication tools democracy flourishes.” Dr. Catherine Happer, Glasgow University Media Group, adds: “There is no conclusive evidence that citizens are better informed politically than they were before the rise of internet-based news.” To have a meaningful say in policy decisions that affect their community, the public needs opportunities to get together to share their opinions and beliefs. “If U.S. democracy is to survive and thrive citizens need to use all instruments of democratic communication such as community radio, public access television, and now the internet,” says Professor Douglas Kellner. The more compelling the public’s voice becomes, the stronger our democracy becomes. JANET WOLINETZ Bainbridge Street
Community Participation Encouraged For Planning Future of PPS
To the Editor: We are writing as parents, as engaged community members, as former Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) presidents, and as current leaders of the PTO Council. Princeton Public Schools (PPS) are, and should be, a source of pride; but our school district faces significant immediate and long-term challenges related to rising enrollment and aging facilities. The PPS administration and Board of Education are committed to working with all sectors of the community to design a plan for current and future growth. We know from experience that the most successful solutions include input from the community as a whole. We encourage everyone in Princeton to engage in these critical conversations over the next several months to understand the challenges and to provide feedback and ideas. A high level of community participation will help ensure that we, as a town, can come to a solution that will benefit Princeton’s children for years to come.

BOOK/FILM REVIEW
Force and Faith: The Star and the Senator
O
n the same Wednesday afternoon that Republican Senator Mitt Romney explained his historic vote to convict the president of “an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor,” the news of the death of screen legend Kirk Douglas at 103 gave first responders like New York Times columnist Bret Stephens the opportunity to headline Romney’s act with the title of the star’s favorite film, Lonely Are the Brave. But what the senator from Utah accomplished in his eight minutes demands a term more measured, restrained, and nuanced than bravery. He had to simultaneously master himself and the moment when he said that as a senator-juror, he swore to “exercise impartial justice,” that he is “profoundly religious,” that his faith is at the heart of who he is, that he takes “an oath before God as enormously consequential,” and that the task of judging the leader of his own party, would be “the most difficult decision” he has ever faced. Simply applying the lonely/brave dynamic to suggest what made Kirk Douglas so powerful an actor is equally inadequate. In fact, one way to appreciate the force of understatement employed by the senator is to contrast it to the extremes suggested by an actor “made for Dostoevsky,” as David Thomson puts it in his Biographical Dictionary of Film, where Douglas (born Issur Danielovich Demsky) is “the manic-depressive among Hollywood stars, ... bearing down on plot, dialogue, and actresses with the gleeful appetite of a man just freed from Siberia.” As the driven, at once code-bound and emotionally unbound detective Jim McLeod in William Wyler’s Detective Story (1951), Douglas rages at a crooked doctor — “I ought to fall on you like the sword of God” — rhetoric that would seem disproportionate to the occasion from any actor this side of Charleton Heston. Every move Douglas makes, everything he says when he’s at the top of his game, is like a demonstration of writer Flannery O’Connor’s rationale for the extremes in her art: “For the almost blind you draw large and startling figures, to the hard of hearing you shout.” As Thomson points out, Douglas is “at
other times on the verge of ridiculing his own outrageousness.” But in films like Detective Story, Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory (1957), and above all, as Van Gogh in Vincente Minnelli’s Lust for Life (1956), “his sometimes facile intensity is marvelously harnessed to the subject of the film and the sense of tragedy is perfectly judged.” Hollywood On the Brain My high school friends and I grew up both ridiculing and enjoying that “outrageousness.” Even before James Dean inspired a generation of moody high-strung idiots striking Method poses in classroom doorways or screaming lines from Rebel Without a Cause (“You’re tearing me apart”) at hapless student teachers, Kirk Douglas inhabited the broken legend of Bix in Young Man with a Horn (1950) striving for the unplayable high note, or most irresistibly, Van Gogh, notably the scene where Vincent cuts off his ear and runs through the streets of Arles, looking for Gauguin (“Paul, hey Paul!”), which we played out on the streets of Bloomington, Indiana. Even when I was working in a warehouse and old enough to know better, I’d play Tony Curtis to someone’s Spartacus (“I wants to be witcha, Spahticus!”). At some point you just give up and go with Hollywood: Kirk Douglas is Van Gogh, just as Spencer Tracy is Clarence Darrow, Yul Brynner Dimitri Karamazov and Richard Basehart his brother Ivan, and Gregory Peck Captain Ahab, and on and on.

“The range of colors and voices … is astonishing and entrancing.” — Billboard Magazine —
And you never grow out of it. A week or two ago, before the news linking the senator and the star, I was walking over a swath of dried out, faded, stubbly yellow grass, thinking, “It’s like walking on Van Gogh’s beard,” visualizing not the one in the self-portraits, but the one grown by the star of Lust for Life. Primal Acting As John W. “Jack” Burns in Lonely Are the Brave, adapted from Edward Abbey’s novel The Brave Cowboy, Douglas summons an actor’s equivalent of the “faith at the heart of who he is” without saying a word in the extraordinary point-of-death closeup at the end. After escaping from a prison he broke into to see a friend who was serving two years for helping immigrants crossing the border, and after an epic struggle over rough terrain on his way to the Mexican border, Burns and his horse, Whiskey, are struck down on a rainy highway by fate in the form of a massive trailer truck. What we see is a close-up that evokes the imagery of silent films like Greed. We’re not just face to face with a dying man, we’re in his head, our eyes his eyes, drawn toward the sound of the animal’s agony, his eyes our eyes pleading for someone to put an end to its suffering, and as he hears the gunshot, the shock of the sound seals the image, eloquent and primal.
Now and Then Writing in the July-August 2007 issue of Film Comment, Alex Cox labels Lonely Are the Brave a “leftist American western” about “a cowboy anarchist who carries no ID, respects no authority, and pays attention only to his friends and his horse.” Noting that the screenplay was written by Dalton Trumbo, “a witch-hunted screenwriter who clearly loved and understood the genre,” Cox points out that although the film was released in 1962, “it still seems totally modern—probably because it deals with so many issues that matter now: individual freedom versus authoritarian clampdowns, the criminalization of sanctuary for ‘illegal aliens,’ ID cards, military helicopters in border manhunts, and an increasingly militarized and regimented America.” That was 13 years ago. At the Oscars I can’t imagine what Kirk Douglas would have made of this year’s diversity-at-allcosts Academy Awards ceremony. I recommend watching a clip of the 1996 event where the actor, having survived a stroke, holds his honorary Oscar, and bellows “I love you all” to the audience. Ghosts and Poetry he most striking passage I found while searching through Kirk Douglas material online comes from a long June 1, 1969 interview on the set with Roger Ebert, where Douglas recounts a walk he took “out there on the back lot of Warner’s. Back there behind Stage 19. And it was like it was haunted...There were staircases ... Dozens of staircases. You’ve never seen so many staircases. And you could imagine ghosts on them. Cagney. Flynn ... Bogey .... And you couldn’t help thinking, one day these staircases were seething with activity. And as you walked among them, that line of poetry came to your mind. You know, the one about what town or peaceful hamlet or something or other. Well, I can’t remember how it goes...’Ode to a Grecian Urn,’ that’s the one. And you can’t help thinking, Jesus! The ghosts that walk here at night. Because movies are filled with the stuff of everyone’s dreams...” —Stuart Mitchner

Theatre Intime Presents Anne Carson’s “Antigonick”; Adaptation of the Sophocles Tragedy is Surreal, Poetic sive score often suggests a ticking clock, recalling a line in which Chorus observes, “We’re standing in the nick of time.” Kreon enters and gives a conspicuously disjointed speech in which he refers to himself in the third person. “Here are Kreon’s nouns: men, reason, treason, death, ship of state, mine.” A guard reports that Polyneikes’ body has been buried; Kreon orders him to discover who did it. The guard returns with Antigone. She defiantly argues with Kreon about the merits of his law, which she neither denies nor regrets violating. Ismene attempts to take the blame, which Antigone refuses to allow her to do. Kreon sentences Antigone to be buried alive. Ismene begs Kreon to be merciful for the sake of his son Haimon, who is Antigone’s fiancé (played by Julien Alam). Haimon himself enters and intercedes for Antigone, but Kreon is unmoved. “Then she’ll die and take another with her,” Haimon warns his father. Neither Sophocles nor Carson includes a scene in which we see Antigone and Haimon together. However, Allen has interpolated a wordless, tender sequence that allows them a moment of intimacy. When Antigone is imprisoned in the cave, she is surrounded by Nick on one side, and Chorus on the other. Both touch her hand. Given that in this production Nick and Chorus stand for Antigone’s warring, dead brothers, this moment hints at letting her attempt to be a source of reconciliation, at least in the afterlife. Allison Spann is outstanding as Antigone. She is equally adept at using her
oet, essayist, and former Princeton University professor Anne Carson’s 2012 play Antigonick originally was published as a book, with illustrations by Bianca Stone. The work is an adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone (c. 441 B.C.E.), as well as a meditation on previous interpretations of it, including mid-20th century productions by theater practitioners such as Bertolt Brecht. Theatre Intime, whose cast and production team consist of Princeton University students, is presenting Antigonick. Directed by Paige Elizabeth Allen, the production brings its own point of view to the story, while borrowing some of the book’s imagery. Carson retains Sophocles’ use of a chorus, whose poetic interludes demarcate the play’s seven scenes. However, Allen has repurposed these lines for a single character, still referred to as “Chorus” (portrayed by Kai Torrens). In terms of the story, Carson’s adaptation is faithful to its source. Eteokles and Polyneikes — the sons of Oedipus, the late king of Thebes — have died while fighting each other for the throne. Their final battle is presented in silhouette; the sequence is eerie and striking, a credit to lighting designer Eliana Cohen-Orth and fight choreographer Minjae Kim. Polyneikes left the kingdom, gathered an army, and attacked the city of Thebes. Because of this, King Kreon — who has ascended to the throne following the deaths of the brothers — decrees that Eteokles will receive a proper burial, but Polyneikes will not. Anyone who buries Polyneikes will be executed. Antigone and Ismene, the sisters of Eteokles and Polyneikes, argue over Kreon’s edict. Antigone is determined to give Polyneikes a proper burial, despite Ismene’s timid attempts to dissuade her. Antigonick derives its title from Carson’s addition of a nonspeaking character named Nick, who, according to the published script, “measures things.” Allen has reconceived this character, as well as the chorus, to give the dead brothers an onstage presence. “The unburied Polyneikes, forbidden [by the denial of a proper burial] from fully passing into the afterlife, seemed to call out from Antigonick’s pages as Nick,” Allen explains in a program note. “In the spirit of Carson’s bold reinterpretation, I read Chorus (originally written as a group of old Theban men) as Eteokles, the brother buried and glorified, the victor who narrates history.” For Nick, who is given an expressive portrayal by Natalia Orlovsky, choreographer Ines Aitsahalia has devised movements that evoke modern (unstructured) dance. A chilling sequence occurs when Nick seems to be clawing to escape the confines of the length of Polyneikes’ grave. At other times Nick’s hands swish back and forth, as if conducting Ed Horan’s atonal incidental music, the atmospheric quality of which is enhanced by Sophia ChavesGamboa’s sound design. Horan’s percus-

in her other role: Kreon’s wife Eurydike. She convincingly depicts Eurydike’s anger at a loss she suffers, as well as her lack of agency within the palace — and the script. (“This is Eurydike’s monologue; it’s her only speech in the play,” she quips bitterly.) Makeup designer Anna Grace McGee draws red lines on Nick’s face. These suggest wounds received in battle, and echo one of Stone’s illustrations for Carson’s book: a spool of thread that recalls a line delivered by the chorus, “Your plan is to sew yourself into your own shroud using the tiniest of stitches.” Costume designer Naomi Park (assisted by JJ Lopez Haddad) gives Kreon a bright red tie that is excessively short and looks a bit silly. However, the addition of a red cloth to Eurydike’s outfit takes on special significance. Chorus’s outfit suggests an army shirt and helmet, supporting Allen’s conception of the character as a soldier. Allen’s staging strategically uses vertical levels. During their initial argument, Kreon physically forces Antigone to the ground. Later, when he is forced to face the consequences of decisions he makes, Kreon sits on the ground, while those who have been harmed by his decisions stand over him. here are individual production elements whose effectiveness could be heightened. But at its best, Theatre Intime’s Antigonick complements Carson’s poetic, often surreal text, while finding places to add character development, enhance the story’s emotional impact, and explore the dramatic possibilities of dance. —Donald H. Sanborn III

voice, to portray the character’s steely tenacity in her conversations with Ismene and Kreon; and her eyes, with which she is able to give heightened tenderness to the wordless scenes Antigone shares with her brothers and Haimon. The production is at its most inventive and moving in the scene in which Antigone is sealed in a cave. This partly is a credit to set designer TJ Smith (assisted by Grey Raber, Riti Bhandarkar, Amisha Srivastava, and Anaika Mehra). At the center of the stage is a black box that initially serves as a grave for Polyneikes. Eventually the box rises to become the cave. Allen’s staging and Spann’s body movements create claustrophobic, harrowing stage pictures of Antigone’s suffocation. Carl Bindman imbues his performance as Kreon with a domineering sneer that befits the character. He and Chris Villani, who plays the blind prophet Tiresias, are forceful in a scene in which Tiresias warns the king that Haimon may die if Antigone is not spared. Both actors’ performances could be improved by adding nuance. The characters could be a bit more convincing and distinct, if the intensity of the scene is given more room to grow, rather than maintaining the same volume and power throughout the interaction. (Villani plays two other roles: a guard and a messenger.) Juliana Wojtenko is capable as Ismene, though in the initial scene between Antigone and Ismene, there is room for heightened contrast between Antigone’s defiance and Ismene’s capitulation. Wojtenko is strongest

Neil Simon Classic At Kelsey Theatre
The Yardley Players production of Last of the Red Hot Lovers comes to Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre February 1423. The play premiered on Broadway in December 1969. Middle-aged Barney Cashman, a seafood restaurant owner, tests out his inner Don Juan in the comedy, which takes place in New York City in the non-tech 1960s during an era devoid of personal computers, cell phones, texting or social media — when sexual exploration is all the rage. Eager to participate in the revolution, 47-year-old Barney — a decent man experiencing a mid-life crisis — tries everything in his power to get in on the action before it’s too late. Cashman fumbles and flounders his way through a series of afternoon encounters with three different women, and painfully fails with each. Shows are Friday and Saturday, February 14 and 15 at 8 p.m.; Sunday, February 16 at 2 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, February 21 and 22 at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, February 23 at 2 p.m. Call (609) 570-3333 to reserve tickets, which are $18$20.

Paintings of powerful animals and birds, as well as scenes of New Jersey habitats, are the focus of an “Avian Art” celebration at D&R Greenway on Friday, February 28, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The event is held in cooperation with The Raptor Trust, renowned for bird rehabilitation. February 28 also marks the final day of wildlife artist James Fiorentino’s “Portraits of Preservation,” now on view at the Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place. The public is welcome to view the exhibition Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. A closing reception for the exhibit will coincide with the “Avian Art” event, after which the watercolors will move to Bernardsville’s Studio 7. The event is free, but Rsvp@drgreenway.org to attend or call (609) 924-4646. Raptor Trust educator Shari Stern will bring a live screech owl to the event, emphasizing the importance of preserving wildlife habitats for both migrating and nesting birds. According to D&R Greenway, “Avian Art” was catalyzed by a major study by the Cornell Ornithology Lab revealing that nearly a quarter of all birds have disappeared from North America within 50 years. Particularly impacted are “everyday” birds, conspicuously missing from regional feeders. Habitat loss was named as the leading culprit in this loss of some 2.9 billion birds. Fiorentino is a member of the Salmagundi Club in Manhattan, the New Jersey
Watercolor Society, American Watercolor Society, Society of Animal Artists, and Artists for Conservation. His artwork has been displayed in numerous museums including the San Diego Museum of Natural History, the Bennington Museum, the Hiram Blauvelt Museum, the Arizona Sonora-Desert Museum, Muhammed Ali Learning Center, the Negro League Museum, and Ted Williams Museum. “In our 31 years, we have pres er ved and prov ided s te w a r d s h i p fo r n e a r l y 21,000 acres of New Jersey land. We seek out natural sites, because they play such a crucial role in protecting birds and other wildlife,” said D&R Greenway CEO and President Linda Mead. “James Fiorentino’s exquisite paintings are accompanied by information panels, connecting visitors to the importance of these lands and our work.” Mead continued, “Just last year, The Raptor Trust chose our Cedar Ridge Preserve in which to release two rehabilitated screech owls. It is a privilege to offer the presence of these small, significant creatures at our ‘Avian Art’ event.” F i or e n t i n o w i l l s p e a k about his work with these two nonprofits. Each strives to ensure healthy habitats in which birds can feed, court, nest, raise young, and migrate twice each year. Birds he has chosen to paint, which remind viewers of their scarcity, include an American bald eagle, a kestrel, a purple martin, a great blue heron, a long-eared owl, a screech owl, a redtailed hawk, and a hummingbird. The show also includes “Forever Landscapes” on D &R Greenway’s popular preserves. Among them are Cedar Ridge Preserve, St. Michaels Farm Preser ve, the Sourland Mountain Preserve, Goat Hill Overlook, and the Abbott Marshlands.
All art is for sale, a percentage supporting the land tr ust’s preser vation and stewardship. To learn more, visit www. drgreenway.org.
Jewelry Program at DV Bead Society
The Delaware Valley Bead Society will present Marti Brown’s “Honey I Shrank the Jewelry … Again” program on Tuesday, February 18, at 7 p.m. in the Café of the Hunterdon County Senior Center, 4 Gauntt Place, Building 1, Flemington. The program is open to the public, but non-members must pre-register. Brow n w ill conduct a hands-on demonstration of the Shrinkets Molding System to create bead caps, cones, spacers, and beads. This shrink plastic is smooth and shiny on one side, and sanded and ready for designing on the other. The sanded side is best for mediums such as colored pencils and other mediums requiring a textured surface for adhering. Both sides will take permanent ink. Participants will use Shrinkets molds created by Julie Haymaker (juliehaymaker.com) to transform flat shrink art into lightweight but durable — and unique — components suitable for use in jewelry. A fee of $10 covers the use of the shrink plastic, templates, colored pencils, markers, rubber stamps, ink, and heat tools. Brown will present her program during the two-hour DVBS meeting. To register, email your name, address, and phone number to odyssey5@ptd.net or call (908) 246-1231.

Full Selection of Wine, Beer, and Spirits Available at New Bottle King on State Road
W
ord travels fast when something new and exciting arrives in the neighborhood! To say that Bottle King, the new liquor store at 775 State Road, has made a hit is an understatement. Just opened in December, it already has regular customers, not to mention the new ones who show up every day.
IT’S NEW To Us
“Best beer selection!” Best prices in alcohol!” “Great selection of everything!” “Terrific layout in the store!” These are just some of the rave reviews from customers. An additional remark often heard: “The parking is great — no problem finding a space.” All in all, good news for Bottle King owner Ken Friedman, who founded the family business in Union in 1970. There are now 15 Bottle Kings, including one in Hillsborough and another in East Windsor. Major Goal Opening in Princeton was a major goal, reports Friedman. “I always wanted to go to Princeton, and now I found a way without taking the SATs. Here I am! We believed Princeton would be a good match for us. There are many educated customers here, who have traveled, and who will appreciate our selections from around the world.” He is proud of the company’s reputation, which
has gained admiration from many sources, including recognition as “Best Wine Store” by New Jersey Monthly magazine (2017), and being named as one of the “Top 10 Discount Wine Stores in America” by GQ magazine. Friedman is equally proud of the employees, adding, “We are set apart by the people who work for us, many of whom have been with us for more than 20 years. And we travel all over the world to see the vineyards — from France, Spain, and Italy to California. Many of the wines we offer are exclusive to us in New Jersey.” Wine continues to be a big seller, says Steve Carpentier, company general manager and co-owner of the Princeton Bottle King. He especially enjoys discovering new wines and sharing his knowledge with customers. “I like knowing about the wine and the changes that come along with vintages. I enjoy sharing information with customers and introducing them to a new wine.” With the company for 39 years, Carpentier has seen trends come and go, and customers’ choices change or remain steady. Overall, red wine continues to be the most popular, especially in winter, he notes, but white has its fans, as does rosé. Strong Alternative Champagne is always a favorite, particularly during the holidays or for special occasions, but prosecco has become a strong alternative as a more affordable option. A special Tosca Prosecco was recently on sale for $9.98.
Cordials, including Kahlua, Drambuie, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, and others have diminished in popularity, but always emerge as a welcome gift. Brandy, cognac, port, and sherry will always be in favor, and specialties, such as saki and ouzo, have their fans. Also popular are wine boxes, which have a longer shelf life, explains Carpentier. “A recent development is the increasing popularity of flavored seltzers,” he adds. “These are really in demand, especially in the summer, but they do well year-round. They are very refreshing, light, with only 5 percent alcohol, and they come in many flavors. White Claw is the biggest seller.” The continuing big news in spirits is bourbon. It is No. 1, with demand increasing all the time. Bottle King offers a very large selection, including some from the smaller distilleries. “Some of these are in very limited quantities,” explains Carpentier, “and we have to hold a raffle for customers who want them, especially Pappy’s.” Customer Favorite Scotch, single malt in particular, remains a customer favorite, while gin and vodka have slipped a bit, he adds. Not the case with beer, which is a major part of the business. Local beers are big sellers, says Carpentier, and the store has two walk-in coolers for Jersey beer. Craft beers, generally, are very popular.
TO YOUR TASTE: “We are set apart by our selection, prices, our knowledge and expertise, and our customer service. In a period of 49 years, Bottle King has grown to become the largest New Jersey retailer of wine, beer, and spirits.” Steve Carpentier, general manager of the company and co-owner of the Bottle King on State Road, is shown with Chateau Petrus Pomerol, a very special and hard-to-get Bordeaux. Every kind of beer, ale, and lager is available, including specialties, notes Carpentier. “We also have India Pale Ale (IPA), which has become a favorite.” The wide range of prices is a key attraction at Bottle King, and there really is something to suit everyone’s budget. Wine from $4.95 to one-ofa-kind bottles at $1,500-plus — and everything in between. Special free club memberships are also offered, featuring additional discounts. The exceedingly large and brightly-lit store offers wide aisles and a convenient arrangement, with selections presented by category and country. Designated temperature-controlled wine cases house the very special high end wines.
In addition to wine, beer, and spirits, Bottle King has an excellent array of cheeses from around the world, and gourmet jams and chocolates (including chocolate laced with Jack Daniels). Complimentary homemade bread and cheese samples are on hand for customers to taste. Good Pairings The knowledgeable staff members lend their expertise to party planning and consultation. “We will always help customers plan parties and also with information about good pairings of wine and food,” points out Carpentier. Gift baskets are available, and a variety of wine glasses, gift bags, novelties, and other items are on display. Ken Friedman looks forward
to a long stay in Princeton, offering customers Bottle King’s special brand of service and selection. “Our focus and commitment is to provide quality products at discounted prices. I especially enjoy the interaction with all the people, both customers and staff. We look forward to being a part of the Princeton community, continuing to offer our special selection, prices, and service. This is a good business to be in, a happy business!” Bottle King is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Delivery in the Princeton area is available.

Snapping Cornell’s 92-Match Ivy Winning Streak, PU Wrestling Earns 1st League Crown Since 1986
C
hr is Ay res was a man in demand in the wake of coaching the Princeton University wrestling team to a dramatic 19-13 win over Cornell last Sunday, producing one of the greatest moments in program history. With the Tigers having handed the Big Red their first Ivy League defeat since 2002 to snap a 92-match league winning streak and earn Princeton’s first Ivy crown since 1986 and the school’s 500th league title overall, hundreds of people reached out to congratulate Ayres. “It was a little overwhelming, I think it was 394 text messages,” said Ayres, whose team improved to 6-4 overall and 4-0 Ivy in posting its first win over the Big Red since 1986. The victory marked the culmination of a quest for Ayres, whose Tiger program went 0-37 from 2006-08 in his first two seasons at the helm and had suffered 17 straight l o s s e s to p ow e r h o u s e Cornell. “In the early years, it would be like four people at a dual meet when we didn’t win,” said Ayres. “Now to have this experience, it is just such a remarkable thing.”
E xperiencing a tough 34-7 loss to the Big Red last season helped lay the groundwork for Sunday’s triumph. “Last year we really felt confident; we felt like we had a team last year that could go up there and beat them and then it was a disaster,” said Ayres. “It was probably one of t he wors t comp et i tive things in my career. This year, we were a little cautious. Everyone knew what was on the line and everyone knew where we stood. I didn’t need to say anything for these guys to be motivated. It was a little bit of hey, let’s just be ourselves, let’s do what we are capable of and we will win.” Ayres, though, still harbored doubts as he had a sleepless night before the clash. “I woke up at 3:30 in t h e m or n i n g, you ar e thinking about these big events and matches,” said Ayres. “You want the best, you know you can do it but there is always that piece there that you might not and you might have to wait another year. That is what Pat Glory said the night before the match, I have been waiting 365 days for this match. That hurt really bad last year
to walk out of that gym, losing the way we did.” With Matthew Kolodzik walk ing back into t he lineup at 149 pounds, cutting short a planned year off from school to train for the Olympics in the wake of an injury to Mike D’Angelo, Princeton added a very good piece. “Kolodzik gives us a boost coming back in the lineup ; it’s unfor tunate because Mike D’Angelo is going to be out,” said Ayres. “We lost him but we gained Matt back. It wasn’t just for this match, it was because he can win a national championship.” The electric atmosphere at Jadwin Gym gave the Tigers a boost as they battled Cornell. “We say we have an ecosystem and that was coming out on Sunday,” said Ayres. “We have a youth program and they showed up. There was alumni there, there was guys there I coached. What we have right now is something special, to pack Jadwin like we did for that dual match.” The crowd of 1,049 was getting a little nervous as Princeton trailed 10-7 heading into intermission with five matches remaining. “That is the exact spot

CROWNING GLORY: Princeton University wrestler Travis Stefanik celebrates after he topped Cornell’s Jonathan Loew 10-4 to clinch victory in a 19-13 triumph by Princeton over the Big Red last Sunday at Jadwin Gym. In beating the Big Red, the Tigers handed Cornell its first Ivy League defeat since 2002 to snap its 92-match league winning streak and earn Princeton’s first Ivy crown since 1986 and the school’s 500th league title overall. Princeton, now 6-4 overall and 4-0 Ivy, hosts Penn and Drexel on February 15. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) I didn’t want us to be in but what I knew was that after halftime, we were in the meat of our lineup,” said Ayres, who got wins from Pat Glory at 125 and Kolodzik at 149 in the first half of the dual. “We had a 10 -minute half t ime break and we went to the back. I said this is where we shine. They had their moment. I f w e d o w h at w e a r e supposed to do on this back side, we are going to b e f i n e a n d t h at i s what happened.” After getting wins from Quincy Monday at 157, Grant Cuomo at 165, and Kevin Parker at 174, sophomore Travis Stefanik had the chance to clinch the dual meet at 184 and he came through, shooting a late cradle in pulling out a 10-4 win over Jonathan Loew. “We were in this situation where I am watching
and it is oh boy, both of these guys are feeling the situation right now,” recalled Ayres. “What I love is that was a statement for our program, he went for it. He could have just tried to get two and scrap it out. He saw the cradle, he took it and said I am going for this; what we preach in our program is being exciting. He did it so beautifully, that was a great way to win that dual meet.” Stefanik’s victory triggered a raucous celebration on the side of the mat as teammates, coaches, alums, and fans shouted with glee and jumped for joy. “I don’t know, I lost my mind,” said Ayres with a laugh in reflecting on his reaction at that moment of triumph. “The cool thing is that I saw Travis and we hugged and he was like this is for
you. It was one of those moments.” Holding the Ivy League trophy minutes later was another special moment for Ayres. “It is heav y, I didn’t know it was so heav y,” said Ayres. “Funny thing, I was holding it and I was taking pictures and I said to my AD Mollie [Marcoux Samaan], I never had this, what do I do with it so I took it over to her. It was pretty cool to hold that.” With the EIWA (Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association ) championships and the NCA A tour nament coming up in March, Ayres believes Princeton can add some more hardware to its trophy case “This changes the program for us, losing to them all of those times and them starting where they started on Sunday, you get used to a certain way of things happening,” said Ayres, whose team hosts hosts Penn and Drexel on February 15 to continue regular season action. “The cool thing is that we really haven’t taken any steps back as a program. When we do something, generally the next time we tend to do better. This was a good hump to get over in terms of we got that monkey off our back. We are in line, we could be EIWA champions. I think that our team has the ability to place top four in the country. If we do as well as we could do, we could get a trophy at the NCAAs.” —Bill Alden

Having Dominated Ivy League in Recent Years, PU Women’s Lax Looking for Deep NCAA Run The Princeton University women’s lacrosse team has developed into a dynasty despite playing in an increasingly competitive Ivy League. The Tigers will be starting their drive for a seventh straight Ivy regular-season title and third straight Ivy League Tournament title (sixth in 11 years) when they open the season at Temple (1-0) on February 15. “We’ve been having great practices this whole week,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer. “It’s really clear the kids worked hard in the offseason, particularly in December and January. They came back fit and sharp with their skill work. Things are starting to take shape and come together for us.” Princeton has a number of big question marks after winning their sixth straight Ivy crown and the Ivy tournament before falling to eventual national finalist Boston College in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals. The Tigers graduated two of their starting attackers, all of their starting midfielders and pair of top defenders from a team that finished 16-4 overall and 6-1 in Ivy play, but the core of four All-Ivy selections from a year ago Marge Donovan, Sam Fish, Tess D’Orsi and Kyla Sears leads a reloaded group. “There will be a lot of new faces and a lot of new names in the lineup, a lot of new kids stepping up into new roles,” said Sailer, who begins her 34th year at the helm of the Tigers. “At the end of the fall, I wasn’t sure how the offense would develop but we look very dynamic and balanced. I think we have a lot of kids who will be able to put the ball in the net and make plays together. It’s not just going to be Kyla- and Tessfocused. We have a lot of kids who are stepping up and really playing well so much so that the starting lineup isn’t going to be easy to pick and
we’ll have some good depth.” D’Orsi and Sears lead an attack that should still be among the best in the country. Sears, a junior, is a three-year starter who showed tremendous balance with 55 goals and 40 assists last year. D’Orsi, a senior tri-captain, had 80 points on 64 goals and 16 assists last season. They are the unquestioned leaders on offense with their experience and ability. “They’re just fantastic in their ability to play-make both as feeders and as drivers,” said Sailer. “Their game is at such a high level that that helps bring along everybody else around them. It’s like, Tess is doing this move or Kyla can shoot this shot so I want to try this shot, or Tess has this great fake around goal and so now you have more kids working on that great fake around goal. If you’re a player, you have two kids right there who you can model yourself after who are raising the bar every day and you can see how your own skill set can continue to grow and develop. They’ve seen it all from zones to faceguards, the different kinds of defenses, and they can both help with organizing and making sure that we’re taking smart shots and working our offenses through.” E li zabet h G eorge, t he 2019 Ivy League Attacker of the Year who had 87 points a year ago, and Julia Haney, who had 36 points, graduated and will be replaced as starters by senior tri-captain Katie Reilly and freshman Grace Tauckus, who will open the year ahead of capable attackers in Kate Mulham, Lauren Pansini and Tara Shecter. “Katie Reilly is really bringing so much great energy to the team and a really nice dynamic presence as a crease attacker for us,” said Sailer. “Grace Tauckus, a freshman from Long Island,
is becoming an awesome power dodger.” The midfield will have a new look as senior tri-captain Annie Cory returns after missing all of last year due to injury to lead a unit that will be young. “She probably brings about a year and a half of real playing experience, and she’s the most experienced kid in that bunch,” said Sailer of Cory. “We have some sophomores who have a year under their belt. We have a freshman who is brand new but doing awesome, Kari Buonanno. That’s going to be a young unit but a talented unit for us. We’re excited about them.” P r i n c e to n d o e s b o a s t depth in the midfield. Cory and Buonanno likely will be joined by Shannon Berry, and Lucie Gildehaus, Maria Pansini, and Shea Smith all figure to play and help. They augment a dynamic attack. “Our middies are capable scorers,” said Sailer. “Annie is a great inside threat and can shoot the outside shot. Lucie is a dodger and a shooter and Kari is an incredible cutter and dodger. She has a complete game. Maria is improving as an attacking threat as well. I think we have a good number of kids who can put the ball in the cage and set each other up. We seem to be working really unselfishly and making good decisions as a unit. We’ve come a long way from the fall in terms of that.” D’Orsi and Sears will garner plenty of defensive attention, but Princeton can still be effective because of the development of their supporting cast. “Your offense won’t be great if you just revolve it around two kids,” said Sailer. “It’s nice to see other kids come along. Clearly we expect them both to have phenomenal years. I think they’re both two of the best attackers in the country.
They’re so quick and great sticks and great poise and toughness. Having other kids around them who can set them up and be set up by them and who can take some of that load will take a little pressure off them too. They are phenomenal. They’re certainly key to our offense. They will be highly marked kids all year long.” A solid defensive group gives the Tigers more confidence. Donovan, Mary Murphy, Olivia Pugh and Maddie Staczek all made starts for Princeton. Fish, an All-Ivy goalie, also returns after saving 48 percent of all shots. They must make up for the graduation of Nonie Andersen and Alex Argo. “Defensively, we’ve lost Noni and Argo, which is a lot of speed and a lot of grit, but we have four returners that have a lot of playing together,” said Sailer. “So we’re anticipating that’s going to be a solid unit. We’ve got Sam back in the goal cage, which is a good thing for Princeton lacrosse.” Princeton’s main area for concern is the draw control. The Tigers don’t want to rely too heavily on their defense to get the ball back, but their entire draw control unit led by George is gone. “We’re going to be having new kids at the draw circle, on the circle, new kids taking the draw,” said Sailer. “Right now, it could be a little draw-by-committee. We’ve been working a number of different kids in. Georgie took primarily all of our draws. Sometimes we would put Lillian Stout in and we’ve lost her due to injury. We’ll see how that unit develops, but I think we have some kids that hunt the ball and some kids with quick hands. That will be a bit of work in progress for us as we identify who our top draw takers are going to be and probably switching that throughout the year depending on who we’re going against and what their strengths are.” Replacing their draw controls will be a bigger challenge than replacing the

READY TO ATTACK: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Tess D’Orsi heads to goal in a 2019 game. Senior tri-captain and star attacker D’Orsi, who had 80 points on 64 goals and 16 assists last year, is primed for a big final campaign. Princeton opens its 2020 season by playing at Temple (1-0) on February 15. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) goals lost to graduation as the Tiger attack has more proven players back. “I don’t think we’re going to be a pushover on the draw,” said Sailer. “We’re going to get after it. We’re continuing to work on technique. We do have scrappy kids as well. We just have a lot of kids in the mix. We’ve been trying different kids out and different kids are better at different things. We have some options for who we can use when we need some different draws.” Princeton can rely on its veteran leaders to keep the team pointed in the right direction. The Tigers’ trio of captains has given them great leadership in the intangibles. “They have made it from Day One their mission to have a high energy, inclusive, fun environment at practice,” said Sailer. “They’ve been incredibly suppor tive and welcom ing — things we’re known for all the time — but more so there’s just a great feeling on the team from player No. 1 to player No. 30. That carries you a long way. As a coach, it’s awesome seeing the improvement in all the players on our team, not just the kids who might be in starting roles or getting more playing time. Across the board, we are performing in practice at a higher level than we did last year at this point in time. Hopefully that’ll translate well when it comes time to play other people.” The 2020 season will start at Temple, a team that the Tigers beat, 16-7, last year. Sailer expects some first-game jitters, especially with some new starters in the lineup, but wants to see her team set the tone for the season early. “Just to come out and play with confidence, and not sit back and see how the game goes,” said Sailer. “It’s our mentality that we go out from the first draw and take control of the game. We try to build momentum and we’re resilient through the inevitable miscues in the course of the game. We want to play that high energy, team oriented game
and work to exert our will over another team. The best teams don’t need big plays to give them energy. Their energy enables them to have big plays. I know we’re going to be so excited to get the season under way.” Princeton will make its home debut on February 22 against a highly regarded Virginia team. The Tigers play six teams in the Top-20 while also navigating through the Ivy schedule that has plenty of power. “Penn returns virtually their whole offense and midfield, maybe they have a couple defensive grads,” said Sailer, whose team starts Ivy play with a game at Columbia on February 29. “They’ll be really, really tough. Dartmouth, like us, lost a few, but they still have a lot of good young kids. Harvard gave us a game and they have a lot of kids returning. Brown beat us, even though they didn’t do well overall in the Ivies. Cornell is good. There’s not a team you can take for granted. It’s definitely a one game at a time mentality. We’ll have to show up ready to give our best every day and compete hard if we want a chance to win the regular season.” For the last six straight years, Princeton has managed to find a way to overcome all in the Ivy regular season. Their regular-season success has set up dominant Ivy tournament appearances and put them in position to advance deep in NCAA tournaments. The goals remain the same even with a different look this year. “The energy is really good; they’re excited every day to come out there,” said Sailer. “They’re really focused and coachable and really focused on implementing what you’re putting in. Obviously it means execution is high. There’s good communication. Offensively, there’s great ball movement and kids are looking for each other. They’re coming in knowing the plays and the sets that we’re running. Defensively, they’re able to execute what we’re asking them as well.” —Justin Feil
For the 12 seniors on the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team, it is now or never. The group has helped produce some highlights over their first three seasons, including wins over Johns Hopkins, Rutgers, Cornell and Denver and some memorable battles with national championships teams Yale and Virginia. The class boasts four captains in Michael Sowers, Nick Bauer, Jon Levine, and Philip Robertson. The prolific Sowers, for his part, comes into his final campaign already holding the program’s all-time scoring record with 255 points (105 goals, 150 assists). But with that class having made only one postseason appearance, a 17-15 loss to Brown in the Ivy League semis in 2017 as freshmen, it is hungry to taste Ivy and NCAA tournament action in their finale. “They really have taken the bull by the horns, I think our season will be a reflection of our seniors this year and if that is the truth, I would like to think we are in good hands,” said Princeton head coach Matt Madalon, whose team went 7-7 overall and 2-4 Ivy League last spring. “Our goal is to get back and be a staple program in the Ivy tournament and earn ourselves opportunities to play in the NCAA tournament.” With Princeton opening its 2020 campaign by hosting Monmouth (1-0) on February 15, Madalon believes his team is primed for a big spring. “The preseason has been great,” said Madalon. “The
guys have come back and they did a really nice job. They took advantage of their exam period and study period to put themselves in a good position to get themselves off and running.” Fe at u r i n g S owe r s ( 37 g o a l s a n d 53 as s i s t i n 2019) running the top attack unit along with junior Chr is Brow n and senior Philip Robertson, the Tigers should ring up plenty of goals. “Michael is awesome; he is a man on a mission,” said Madalon. “He is a pleasant kid, like any other college lacrosse player. He is a wonderfully polite kid. He is super talented when the helmet goes on. He has got his counterparts in Chris (34 goals, 17 assists) and Philip (18 goals). Their chemistry is great.” Madalon has some other options to supplement his top line. “We have a new addition in Alex Slusher, he will jump right into the mix,” said Madalon. “We have two other guys on our attack depth chart in Jack Crockett (1 goal) and Christian Ronda; as they continue to develop, they will see time.” The Tiger offensive midfield has the depth to develop into a stellar unit. “We have a lot of options; that is a part of the roster that as a staff we really focused on recruiting and developing,” said Madalon. “In terms of leading that crew, we have got A lex Vardaro (12 goals, 5 assists), Beau Pederson (10 goals, 3 assists), Jake Stephens (5 goals, 3 assists), Connor McCarthy (4 goals, 2 assists), Luck Crimmins
(3 goals), and Jamie Atkinson (7 goals, 4 assists). We have guys like Nick Bond, Will Kusnierek (2 goals) and Carter Zavitz (1 goal) really pushing for playing time.” At defensive m idf ield, Princeton boasts a number of battle-tested performers. “We are going to have the shortstick anchored by Luc Anderson, he is a returning guy,” said Madalon. “You will see guys like Beau Pederson down there a little bit and also Chase Williams, Jasper Arnold, and Sam English. Song is a returning guy at longstick, he is so talented and can play all over the field. Luca Lazzaretto and Nick Bauer can see some time there.” The Tiger defense will be spearheaded by junior captain and All-Ivy performer George Baughan, who had a goal and an assist last season to go with 22 ground balls and 23 caused turnovers. “G e o r g e i s o u t s t a n d ing ; his athleticism and tenaciousness and aggressiveness and love for his te a m m a te s i s aw e s o m e down there,” asserted Madalon, whose defensive unit w ill also include Ar man Medghalchi, Cathal Roberts, David Sturtz, Jacob Stoebner, and Ben Finlay. “He is an old school bruiser, he is really looking to play the game at a physical clip.” Senior Jon Levine (11.61 goals against average, .473 save percentage in 2019), a former Hun School standout, and junior Erik Peters (11.44 GAA, .528 save percentage) are vying for the starting goalie spot. “We are lucky to have two guys who have started as

many games as these guys have,” said Madalon. “Jon and Erik have been in a goalie battle all fall and continue to be in one. We are going to wait and see how the preseason plays out. Freshman Griffin Rackower has had a great fall and he is being pushed by Ben Churchill.” Preparing for the battles ahead, Madalon is looking for his players to be cool under pressure. “We want to make sure that we are organized in the frenetic parts of the game,” said Madalon. “We want to make sure that we are a great ride and clear team. We want to make sure that we are a great sub team. We want to be a great communicating team. Lacrosse is a sport with so much gray area; we want to be a team that really communicates well so we can talk through those scenarios and survive those moments.” Madalon believes t hat communication will lead to sharper execution at both ends of the field. “We want to play good team ball for 60 minutes w it h complementar y la crosse,” added Madalon. “There are going to be days when our offense is struggling and we want to pick them up by playing a great defensive game. There are going to be games where our defense is struggling and we want to make sure that we are cashing in on a couple of extra ones to give them a cushion. We are looking to play better, more consistent lacrosse. We have played a handful of young
guys in their careers. I feel like we have a team with good experience in the right spots this year.” L ook ing a head to t he matchup against Monmouth, Madalon hopes the Tigers get off on the right foot. “We were able to squeak one out in double OT years ago and then last year it was a little different of a game
(a 23-7 win for Princeton),” said Madalon. “We expect a very good game. Coach [Brian] Fisher is an excellent coach. He has got a good staff, he has got a good program and I know they were really injured last year and nicked up playing some guys so I expect his group to be very competitive.” —Bill Alden

With Senior Group Showing Sense of Urgency, PU Men’s Lax Hungry to Make Postseason Play
TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2020 • 38
With Alarie Starring at Both Ends of Court, PU Women’s Hoops Tops Columbia, Now 17-1 Having poured in a total of 59 points in two games against Columbia last year, Bella Alarie picked where she left off as the Princeton University women’s basketball team hosted the Lions last Saturday. The senior star was sizzling from the start, scoring 11 points in the first six minutes of the contest and 16 in the first half. “It is always nice to hit your first shot and feel that confidence,” said Alarie. “W hen I saw her hand down, I just wanted to shoot the three and see if I was feeling it. My teammates trust me a lot and they want me to shoot the ball. It was nice in that first quarter to have that confidence.” The 6’4 Alarie ended up with 24 points, hitting on 9-of-15 shots, as the Tigers pulled away to a 77-55 win before a crowd of 1,806 at Jadwin Gym, improving to 17-1 overall and 5-0 Ivy League. But while Alarie’s sharpshooting was impressive, the stingy Tiger defense proved pivotal, holding Columbia to 19 points in the first half as Princeton seized control of the contest. “When we get stops, we can get easy buckets on the other end,” said Alarie, who
had five rebounds, three blocked shots and a steal against Columbia. “It just gives a lot of good energy to the whole team to just know that the other team is flustered and we are locking them up. There are some games where we feel like we are doing a really great job and we are all totally locked in.” The Tigers hit a lull as they yielded 19 points to the Lions in the fourth quarter with the game’s outcome not in doubt. “There are times where we have lapses, it is about coming together and making sure that we are always making defense a priority,” said Alarie. “You can feel it from being on the court, that the energy is low. You can try everything to bring the team together and sometimes you just need to hit the reset button.” With Princeton giving up an average of 48.1 points a game this season compared to 63.7 last year, it is clear that defense is a priority under new head coach Carla Berube. “We focus on defense everyday in practice; that is what we spend the most time on,” said Alarie. “It is just trusting that our teammates will be there for

help if you get beat. I think those two things combined make us a good defensive unit.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Berube credits her players with adapting quickly to her defensive approach. “It didn’t take long, they b o u g h t i n r i g h t aw ay,” said Berube. “Even talking throughout the summer, a lot of them were here during camp, and we just started talking about some drills we are going to do and how we are going to play on the ball and things like that. They are into it and excited about it. They trusted our staff and what we are preaching.” Noting that that Tigers are playing mainly person-toperson with nothing exotic mixed in, Berube said the team’s success at that end of the court comes down to preparation and execution. “It is how we run it; there are no schemes but we do have different ways of how we defend ball screens, and different ways of how we defend certain personnel that are on the floor at a certain time,” said Berube. “We do spend a good amount of time getting to know our opponent and what they want to run and what their tendencies are. It has been a work in progress. It is still something we work on everyday in practice because we see on film where there have been some breakdowns and we need to get better at this piece of it.” Berube acknowledged that she was per turbed when Princeton eased up in the fourth quarter against the Lions. “It shouldn’t happen but it did; I let it go for a little bit to just see if they could pick

it up and then I felt like I had to call a time out,” said Berube. “This is not how we play, the energ y has to come back. I thought we were getting some decent shots. Our energy from both ends was not good enough and they knew it.” Princeton got some good shooting on the night as junior point guard Carlie Littlefield tallied 19 points and sophomore guard Abby M e y e r s c o n t r i b u te d 10 points off the bench in addition to Alarie’s big game. “We saved all of the offense from last night and we brought it today,” said Berube, whose team started the weekend by defeating Cornell 60-29 on Friday. “We were getting some good looks. The way Abby was shooting the ball in the first half was great to see. She was really aggressive. Bella was hitting some shots and then we had Carlie come out in the second half too. I thought we found open players and made some shots.” Heading to New England this weekend for a first place showdown at Yale (14 - 4 overall, 5-1 Ivy) on Friday and a game at Brown (7-12 overall, 1-5 Ivy) a day later, Princeton will look to be hitting on all cylinders. “They are strong; it is going to be a great matchup in New Haven,” said Berube of the clash with Yale. “We will work really hard this week to get to know them and Brown. It is a big game but to us it is another Ivy League game and they are all really, really important for our season. We just can’t rest on anything. Road trips are a little more difficult than being in your own house and your own bed. We have got to have a great week of practice. I told them to be ready to go on Monday and we will get back to work.
DISTINCTIVE SELECTIONS OF WOODS, FINISHES AND STYLES INSPIRING CUSTOM DESIGNS
With Pr inceton hav ing been ranked in the Top 25 this season, Berube likes seeing the program get national recognition but isn’t dwelling on rankings. “We love it but it is something we can’t control,” said Ber ube. “W hatever hap pens, happens. We are just going to do what we can do and just keep on winning ballgames.” Alarie and her teammates,
for their part, are staying in the moment. “It is reminding ourselves that we have to play it game by game,” said Alarie. “We have big goals for the future. Obviously every single game we play in this league is really important. That is something the coaches have reiterated a lot to us — night by night, this game is what we are focusing on.” —Bill Alden

With Bar-Cohen Undeterred by Broken Nose, Surging PHS Boys’ Hoops Routs Lawrence Gefen Bar-Cohen’s face was covered by a plastic mask to protect a broken nose as he took the court for the Princeton High boys’ basketball team at Lawrence last Friday evening. In the early stages of the contest, senior forward BarCohen looked like the injury may be hampering him as he missed several shots, going scoreless as PHS found itself trailing the Cardinals 8-6 at the end of the first quarter. But get ting into the groove, Bar-Cohen tallied 10 points in the second quarter as the Tigers built a 24-18 lead by halftime “Once the ball starts going through the basket you get that momentum,” said BarCohen, who broke his nose in a 63-57 loss to North Brunswick on January 18. “You start making shots and you hype up your teammates. Everybody is hyping you up and getting into that mindset of keeping your foot on the gas pedal.” In the second half, PHS kept its foot to the pedal, going on a 27-0 run to break open the game and cruise to a 63-37 win. “We knew we could do it, we weren’t up by that many in the first half,” said BarCohen. “We knew we could close it out and push it to double digits. It feels great.” With the Tigers having won six of their last eight games in improving to 1010, Bar-Cohen is feeling good about where the team is at. “We are tr ying to ride the momentum right now, we started out the season a little sluggish,” said BarCohen. “We really picked it up towards the end of the season.” In reflecting on the recent surge, Bar-Cohen attributes the hot streak to more cohesive play. “Our offense has really com e a long,” s a id B arCohen. “At first, we were struggling to get cuts and get movement. I think everybody is really fitting into the system and we are starting to move the ball more.” As Bar-Cohen goes through his final weeks of his high school career, he is determined to go out in a high note. “I am just trying to get the team a boost and do anything I can to help the team win,” said Bar-Cohen, who has committed to attend Kenyon College and play for its Division III men’s hoops program. “I want to put in a good senior season and finish out strong.” PHS head coach Pat Noone credits Bar-Cohen with coming on strong down the stretch. “Gefen has been great; we talked before the North Brunswick game,” recalled Noone. “We have a great relationship; it was one of those talks that has been the turning point this season for him. He has been really on since then.” In the win over Lawrence, a defensive switch helped turn the tide for the Tigers. “We got some buckets there and you could see the momentum shifting in our direction,”said Noone. “Our guys are pretty good
at riding that wave when they get the momentum going. I think that our 1-3-1 defense really hurt them in the middle of the third quarter. That really turned the momentum of the game.” In Noone’s v iew, team unity has helped the Tigers develop momentum collectively. “The guys are just playing together so well,” said Noone. “We have got good chemistry, everyone is picking up each other; they are there for each other. It is a really good group. They are all excited right now that is where we are at; it is a team effort.” Draining some key buckets also helped get PHS going in the right direction. “The only difference is that we made shots,” added Noone. “If you look through our season, we had Rumson on the ropes and we faltered, turning the ball over with 10 seconds left. We had Allentown and we missed a shot with 30 seconds left. Now we are starting to
make those shots. It is confidence, once you see that ball going through. You ride the momentum.” With the Tigers hosting Phillipsburg on February 13 and then starting play in the Mercer County Tournament, Noone believes his team has a shot at a good postseason run. “It is such a good conference, it is so well coached and everybody is always really prepared,” said Noone. “You don’t know what is coming, night in, night out. It is good talent and great coaches. It has been such a battle. We have been able to ride the wave, which is really cool. The guys enjoy each other. That is the fun part, seeing how excited they are and how much fun they are having.” Bar-Cohen, for his part, is excited to keep battling for as long as possible. “We just want to play hard and give it our best every game,” said Bar-Cohen. “We have the potential to beat anyone; people don’t know our name yet.” —Bill Alden
Making Last Push for PHS Boys’ Swimming, Reyen Helps Tigers Advance to Sectional Final As the Princeton High boys’ sw im team hosted Red Bank Regional in the state Public B Central Jersey quarterfinals last Thursday at the John Witherspoon School pool, it marked the last home meet for senior star Jeshurun Reyen. “It is really hard to believe, I have been swimming here for four years,” said Reyen. “It has been a great ride. It is lots of emotions, happy and sad.” Swimming hard, Reyen placed first in the 50 and 100-yard free to help thirdseeded PHS post a 95-75 win over sixth-seeded Red Bank. “I definitely wasn’t doing my best today, I had to give it my all to make sure to get the wins,” said Reyen. “I had some tough practices, I am feeling a little tired. I tried my best.” With Red Bank narrowing the PHS to 57-53, Reyen helped the 200 free relay to a win as the Tigers regained momentum and didn’t look back on the way to the win. “We have a pretty strong 50 free group,” said Reyen. “I am happy that we have some underclassmen who I can pass the torch on to.” In looking back at his PHS career, Reyen pointed to those bonds as the highlight of his experience. “We are all pretty close, we are like a family here,” said Reyen, who will get to keep working with that family as PHS edged sec-
ond-seeded W W/ P-South on power points in the sectional semis last Monday as the teams tied 85-85 and will face top-seeded WW/PNorth in the sectional final on February 14 at the Neptune Aquatic Center. “We all push each other to swim our best and there is really nothing more than that. We practice hard, we get together, we get fired up and we try to swim our best.” PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz was fired by how Reyen pushed himself to a pair of wins against Red Bank. “Jeshurun wasn’t totally happy with his times; I told him after the 50 at this point right now times are not necessarily a No. 1 priority,” said Misiewicz. “It is ‘what is the highest finish that I can get for the team, what can I do to score the most points for the team,’ and he came out on top in the 50 and the 100 free and helped the 200 free relay to a big win.” The team’s depth paved the way for the PHS victory and set it up well for the rematch against rival WW/PSouth in the sectional semis. “We knew they had some top dogs but we had to figure out a way where we could finish 2-3- 4,” said Misiewicz. “Our depth was going to propel us a little more, that is what we are going to need to rely on on Monday as well
that is a huge thing.” Bouncing back from a 106-64 loss to WW/P-North to start the season, PHS hasn’t tasted defeat since. “Going 12 in a row after a season opening loss is great; a season opening loss can really do a lot to a team, good or bad,” said Misiewicz. “We were able to put that and turn it into something positive.” Going on to the narrow win over W W/P-S in the sectional semis was another positive moment for the Tigers. “We already know what they have; we saw them once this year and we saw them at counties,” said Misiewicz in assessing the matchup. “ We were for t u nate enough to win (90-80 on December 17) the first time we saw them. They were missing two of their top guys and we have Dan [Baytin] now. It is going to be a good meet and I think anything could happen. I think it all about who is going to come in on Monday and want it more.” Reyen, for his part, was primed for the second round against the Pirates. “We beat them the first time during the season; it was pretty close,” said Reyen, who helped the 200 free relay take first in the meet against WW/P-S. “They had a couple of swimmers that sat out for that meet and they will definitely make a bigger impact. We will try our hardest and hopefully move on to the final.” —Bill Alden

for us but it was really the defensive end. We struggled to stop them most of the game, to get a couple of stops in a row really helped us and then we made some big shots.” Stone was happy to see Weiss come up big in the fourth quarter. “That run (the 3 and tip) was huge for us, both of those coming from him,” said Stone. “It was a big 3 and the tip was terrific. It was a tough play. and he tipped it beautifully in. It is great that it was one of our seniors who came through. Jack has been playing well. We have full confidence in him, shooting the ball and taking big shots like that.” With Hun hosting West Nottingham Academy (Md.) on February 13 and then starting action in the state Prep A tourney where it is seeded third and plays at second-seeded Blair in a semifinal contest on February 17, Stone is hoping for a terrific finish to the season. “Any time you get a win right before going into a tournament it is good and winning the close one too,” said Stone, whose squad fell 53-46 to Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) in the opening round of the MAPL (MidAtlantic Prep League) tournament last Friday and then topped Lawrenceville 62-45 in a consolation game a day later to move to 11-13. “We have lost our share of tough close ones this year. It gives us the confidence to know what we need to do.” Weiss, for his part, is confident that the win over PDS will pay dividends down the stretch. “We can’t ask for anything better, beating a local team like PDS,” said Weiss. “We can just build up momentum for sure.” —Bill Alden
Irish Native Maguire Bringing European Flair As Hun Girls’ Hoops Makes MAPL Semis
E nya Mag u ire brought a pass-first style with her from Belfast Ireland when she joined the Hun School girls’ basketball team this winter as a post-graduate point guard. But the flashy 5’4 Maguire has also displayed a finishing touch to go along with her deft playmaking, scoring 74 points in a three-game span heading into Hun’s game with Pennington last Wednesday, including a 30-point outburst in a 71-21 win over Steinert on February 3. Having been sidelined with a wrist injury until January, Maguire has surprised herself with her scoring surge. “I am getting better each game,” said Maguire in a lilting Irish accent. “Every game is different, it just goes to show you. I like to pass the ball but when I am feeling it, I just shoot.” In the Pennington game, Hun jumped out to a 26-13 lead in the first quarter but things turned dicey as the visitors rallied to toe the game at 46-46 early in the fourth quarter before the Raiders pulled out a 58-52 win. “We were doing alright, we were a bit all over the place t he whole game,” said Maguire, who had 19 points, five assists, and four rebounds in the victory. “Our defense wasn’t great but we got it in the end; we weren’t the best today. We changed to a 2-3 zone and they killed us in that. We were so not switched on today. We went back to our strength and played man-to-man defense. Following in the footsteps of her older sister Anna Maguire, who previously starred for Hun, Maguire has been doing very well in her move to the U.S. “I love it; the coaches are great, the girls are great,” said Maguire, who is looking to get recruited to play college ball in the U.S. “I haven’t played in this style of game since I was way younger so it is definitely helping me with my individual skills.” Hun head coach Bill Holup loves the intensity Maguire brings to the Raiders. “Enya’s game is contagious, she is unselfish and doesn’t give up on any play,” said Holup of Maguire, who scored 14 points and had five assists as Hun fell 68-53 to Lawrenceville in the MAPL (Mid-Atlantic Prep League) semifinals last Saturday. “The other girls see her busting it all across the court. A shot is missed, somebody from the other team gets it, and she comes up from behind and gets it back.” Holup acknowledged that the Raiders didn’t play their best against Pennington. “I don’t just think we were there, we cruised the past few games and today our shot SENIOR MOMENT: Hun School boys’ basketball player Jack Weiss, left, battles for the ball in a wasn’t quite there,” said Holup. game earlier this season. Last Wednesday, Weiss enjoyed a special Senior Night, scoring 11 points, including the game-winning three-pointer as Hun edged Princeton Day School 53-52. Over the weekend, Hun fell 53-46 to Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) in the opening round of the MAPL JUNCTION (Mid-Atlantic Prep League) tournament last Friday and then topped Lawrenceville 62-45 in a BARBER consolation game a day later.

A s J a c k We i s s w e n t through his Senior Night for the Hun School boys’ basketball team last Wednesday evening, it prompted him to reflect on how far he has come in a journey across town after transferring from Princeton High. “I am one of the longest tenured people here; it is crazy, it went by so quickly,” said Weiss, a Princeton resident who came to Hun in his sophomore year. “It is emotional, I was thinking about all of the memories, my friends and meeting new people. I was at Princeton High before. It was a big switch. It was a different type of school, going to private from public.” With Hun hosting crosstown rival Princeton Day School, 6’4 forward Weiss ended up having one of the biggest nights of his career, scoring 11 points, including the game-winning threepointer at the buzzer as the Raiders rallied for a dramatic 53-52 win over the Panthers. Trailing PDS 45-37 early in the fourth quarter, the Raiders were able to find an offensive rhythm. “We started to move the ball more, we got open shots and the open shots win us basketball games,” said Weiss, who hit a three-pointer and then flew to the rim for a tip-in to help narrow the PDS lead to 47-46 midway through the fourth quarter. “It was no selfish ball, the seniors wanted to win so we played for each other.” Then in the waning seconds of the contest with Hun dow n 52-50, Weiss produced a moment he will never forget, lofting a threepointer that found the bottom of the net and proved to be the margin of victory.
“When I was letting it go, it didn’t feel good off of my hands,” said Weiss. “I saw it going off left, I was leaning over to the left side a little bit and then I saw it go through net. It caught me by surprise. I could not have asked for anything better, it was a storybook ending.” As a key reserve for the Raiders, Weiss has looked to contribute in any way possible. “I come off the bench a lot, we have a lot of young guys that I like to mentor,” said Weiss. “We all root for each other when we get our chance. It is whoever is going to step up. A lot of guys play the same position. At any given moment, if someone is having an off day, there are four guys behind stepping up and playing well.” Hun head coach Jon Stone likes the way his senior players have stepped up over their careers. “We have six great seniors, they all have contributed in so many ways,” said Stone, whose senior group includes Xander A lvarado, Dylan Knight, Liam Gunnarsson, Max Adelman, and Amir Basma in addition to Weiss. “The cool thing about them all is that they are all different, they are all unique and they all bring something unique to the table. We are going to miss each and every one of them. It is a little sad but the good news is that we are still playing.” Ref lecting on the PDS game, Stone pointed to playing good defense as a key factor in Hun’s comeback. “We got some stops and got some loose balls,” said Stone. “We were able to get a little bit in transition and that opened things up

“We were getting good looks but bottom line was that we were not making our shots. We had to pick it up on defense and ultimately we did. We could play better than that but Pennington played a great game.” With Hun, now 16-6, hosting Hightstown on February 13 and then getting a rematch against Lawrenceville in the state Prep A semis on February 17 when third-seeded Hun plays at the secondseeded Big Red, Holup wants his players to bring a great effort from start to finish. “They have to play with a
sense of urgency the entire game,” said Holup. “Against Steinert, we had that sense of urgency but today we had that lull. It needs to be that sense of urgency right from the opening jump ball all the way through for 32 minutes.” Maguire, for her part, is ready to bring intensity at both ends of the court. “We really got to work as a team because we are coming up against some big strong teams,” said Maguire. “We get all of the best offense from our defense so we need to work on our defense, stay humble the whole time, and just work hard.” —Bill Alden

Enjoying Senior Moment with Game-Winning Shot, Weiss Stars as Hun Boys’ Hoops Edges PDS 53-52
Even though the Stuart Country Day School track had taken first in the last two state Prep B indoor championship meets, Alex Ottomanelli and her teammates knew that their streak was in jeopardy as they prepared for the 2020 competition. “We were just trying to keep positive all week, we were all hyping each other up for the meet,” said senior star Ottomanelli, reflecting on the championship event that took place on February 1 at the Lawrenceville School. “Going into it, we did not know how it was going to turn out. We thought that us and Villa Walsh were going to be eight points apart so we didn’t really know.” Senior star Ottomanelli was determined to get as many points as she could for the Tartans. “I just really wanted to win my events for the team; that was what was most important for me because I knew that every point was going to be valuable,” said Ottomanelli. “I did the 55-meter hurdles and the 800. I was more ner vous for the 800 be cause there were some really good girls entered. I just really wanted to take it for the team.” Ottomanelli ended up having a very good meet, winning the 55 hurdles and the 800 and helping the 4x400 relay take first and set a school record of 4:28.93, as Stuart placed first by piling up 120 points with Villa Walsh taking second at 86. Getting off to a good start
with a win in the 55 hurdles gave Ottomanelli a lift. “I was seeded first and that really gave me confidence going into the race,” said Ottomanelli. “I knew that anything can happen so I was just fo cused… on really pushing hard to the end and trying to take the win. It is hard, in the hurdles, you are so tempted to look right or left. You really have to stay focused and just look ahead. If your trail toe is down, you are falling.” After coming through in the hurdles, Ottomanelli was primed for the 800. “I like to say I am more of an 800 runner so for me the hurdles are probably harder,” added Ottomanelli. “My race plan was to sit on the leader and then kick it in at the end. I always rely on my kick at the end of each race.” Ending the meet on a high note, Ottomanelli was thrilled to use her kick to help the 4x400 produce its recordbreaking performance. “We already knew that we had the win so we were like let’s just go and have some fun,” said Ottomanelli. “We did not expect to get the school record at all, everyone ran with heart. It took the pressure off, I think that is why we did so well.” Juggling the hurdles and the 800 has required Ottomanelli to adopt a grueling training regimen. “I always come to practice early and I always leave late,” said Ottomanelli.
“I am working on the technique for my hurdles and then in the middle I always do a 200 or a 400 workout. I love interval training. I do cross country in the fall to stay in shape; I build my base through the cross country.” Thriving with that extra work, Ottomanelli has made track a major priority in her life. “I am definitely much more serious; coach [Len] Klepack has had a big role in that, he has really helped me,” said Ottomanelli, who plans to compete in track at the college level. “Through him and his guidance, it has made me more excited about the sport. Over the summer, I really took it upon myself to train on my own and work hard in the offseason. That is really important for you to keep going.” Stuart coach Klepack knew his team faced a hard challenge coming in to the championship meet. “We had our doubts on paper; I had Villa Walsh winning the meet because they had great distance runners,” said Klepack. “I had it 86-80 on paper. You do that for fun. There are only so many events so you can fool around with that. What happened was that a lot of youngsters stepped up.” But in the end, the numbers added up for the Tartans as they displayed their depth and competitiveness. “The big thing is that we scored in every event, that is very unusual to do so that

TRIPLE CROWN: Stuart Country Day School track star Alex Ottomanelli, center, enjoys the moment with teammates Cara Carr, left and Heather Kwafo after the trio placed in the top four in the 55 hurdles at the state Prep B indoor championships earlier this month at the Lawrenceville School. Senior star Ottomanelli took first in the event with Kwafo coming in second and Carr taking fourth. In addition, Ottomanelli won the 800 and helped the 4x400 relay take first and set a school record helping Stuart place first in the meet for the third straight year. shows the strength of the team,” said Klepack. “You look at the names of the youngsters that we have who were fourth in the different events, you can see really how we have improved.” Klepack credited Ottomanelli with continuing to improve over her stellar career. “She has expanded her events; last year she as the first one to win at county in the outdoor championship in the 400 intermediate hurdles,” said Klepack. “She has become a very serious athlete and she wants to run in college.” Another senior, Heather Kwafo, had a very good day for the Tartans, placing first in the both 55 dash and 200 dash and finishing second in the 55 hurdles. “Heather has really developed into an outstanding athlete, not just in the sprints but as a triple jumper and a long jumper,” said Klepack, noting that Kwafo has committed to Vassar and will compete for its track program. “She has an outstanding season so far, she won the county long jump.” Junior Cara Carr showed her development, taking second in the 4000, fourth in the 55 hurdles, and helping the 4x400 relay to victory. “Cara Carr won the triple jump in the county, which was definitely unexpected,” said Klepack. “She came back and finished second in the 400 where we had her maybe just hopefully getting a place. She improved four seconds. We didn’t expect those eight
points so that made a big difference. She got fourth in the hurdles, which was unexpected.” The Tartans got a lot of points in the high jump with sophomore Audrey Blandford winning at 5’0 and junior Misha Meyer leaping 4’10 to take second. “Audrey is only a sophomore, she tied a school record the week before and cleared the same height in the state meet,” said Klepack. “Misha tied the school record the week before and she ended up finishing second. They were really big points for the team. Field hockey star Caroline Mullen came up big, taking fourth in the 1,600 and fifth in the 3,200. “We didn’t expect points in the distance event,” said Klepack. “Caroline is a special person, this is the first year that she is running track and she shows a lot of talent. She has a lot of ability; it takes time to build a base. I think she will even get stronger.” B at t ling illness, senior Emerlee Simons ended up taking third in the 55 dash and 200. “We call that a courage story, Emerlee had the flu and couldn’t really train,” said Klepack. “She wanted to run. She was really depressed the week before but she said. I will come in and run the 55 and 200. Her fever broke 24 hours before the meet. The times weren’t up to her standards but she said she wanted to be there for the team. She
is a team person.” All in all, Klepack is very proud of what his team accomplished as it rose to the occasion under championship pressure. “We were very pleased, the whole thing was unexpected,” said Klepack. “When you go into it thinking you are not going to win and they you have people step up to another level, it makes make the win that much more special.” In reflecting on the title, Klepack pointed to his athletes’ upbeat approach. “They all came in building off of each other, they had an attitude of applying all of the lessons from the earlier meets,” said Klepack. “We have been preaching, you are allowed to make mistakes and find solutions. Everything clicked that day for them. I think it was their attitude, they were all pulling for each others. When you get your best in a championship meet, it means you have your game face on.” Ottomanelli, for her part, believes the Tartans can use the triumph as a springboard as they go for third straight Prep B title at the outdoor championships this spring. “We kept saying a three-peat is really hard in anything so we were just so excited,” said Ottomanelli. “We are excited for outdoors. In the indoor season, they don’t count jumps. We have some really good jumpers so that will definitely help us outdoors.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries
Janice E. Moore Kisthardt Janice E. Moore Kisthardt of Princeton died on February 2 at Princeton Medical Center, four days before her 74th birthday. Her death was caused chiefly from advanced pulmonary fibrosis, but she also suffered the effects of pernicious anemia and had waged a 50-year struggle with Type 1 diabetes. Daughter of the late Evelyn D. and Orville E. Moore, Janice was born in Trenton and spent her youth in Morrisville, PA. She was a member of the Morrisville High School class of 1964 and was piano accompanist for choral groups and musicals. She earned her B.S. in Music Education and M.A. in Music degrees from West Chester State College (now University), West Chester, PA, and her Master of Library Science degree from Rutgers University. Early professional positions included teacher of elementary music for Neshaminy School District, Langhorne, PA, and Grey
Nun Academy, Yardley, PA; and Librarian Intern at Trenton Public Library. She held librarian positions at Villa Victoria Academy; Grundy Memorial Library, Bristol, PA ; Bucks County Community College; Pennwood Library, Langhorne, PA; and she retired from a library faculty position at The College of New Jersey (formerly Trenton State College). Her joy at the college library was derived from developing the children’s literature collection for the use of future elementary teachers. Janice attended Presbyterian churches for much of her life and sang alto in church choirs. At her death, she was a parishioner of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Princeton, where she served on the Flower Committee. She is survived by her husband of not quite 51 years, James, her daughter Joan Kisthardt, son-in-law Noah Lovitz-Wolfson, and granddaughter Mika Brooke Kisthardt-Wolfson, all of Oakland, CA.

Following her marriage to Erhard in 1963, she stayed at home to raise her two sons in Mountain Lakes, NJ. A devoted and loving mother and wife, she was also very active in a number of community organizations, including March of Dimes, the Morris County Hotline, and the Dover Junior Women’s Club. Dolores was very involved in her children’s lives, and rarely missed a school or athletic event. In fact, at one point she had an unbroken six year streak of attending every single home and away Mountain Lakes middle school and high school basketball game. Dolores, her sons, and family friends spent many idyllic summer months at their home in Avalon, New Jersey, with Erhard joining them on weekends and vacations. After raising their family in Mountain Lakes, Dolores and Erhard moved to Flanders, NJ, and then to Manchester in 2002. Dolores returned to Montclair State to complete her formal studies and graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Psychology in 1981. She then earned a Masters in Social Work from New York University and, upon graduating, launched a new and successful career as a clinical psychotherapist, working in an institutional setting and in her own private practice. Dolores was married to Erhard for over 52 years when he predeceased her in June 2015. She was a constant and devoted companion and caregiver to Erhard as he struggled with health issues during the last decade of his life. While she was heartbroken at the time of his passing, she continued to live her life to the fullest, enjoying her friends and family immensely. Dolores is survived by her son John, of Phoenix, Arizona, her son Mark and daughter-in-law Courtney Lederer, of Princeton, and her adored granddaughters, Zoe and Quinn. The family wishes to thank Dolores Paradise, who was a loyal friend and caregiver to both Erhard and Dolores. To send online condolences, please visit the website at www.oliveriefuneralhome.com.

Elizabeth Mary Luchak 1923-2019
Elizabeth Luchak, a Princeton resident for over 50 ye ar s, p as s e d aw ay peacefully on November 20, 2019 at age 95. She was predeceased by her husband, George Luchak, in 2017. Elizabeth, née Szilagyi, was born in Sajókaza, Hungar y, and immigrated to Canada as a young child. In 1947 she graduated from the University of Alberta in Home Economics, a program that emphasized the science of food and nutrition. Elizabeth began her career as a dietitian with an internship at The University of Toronto’s Hart House, which provided a rigorous program that taught academically trained nutritionists to put theory into practice. At Hart House she met George, who was a PhD candidate in Mathematics and Physics. They were married in Calgary and settled in Suffield, Alberta, where
George was a research scientist for the Canadian Defense Research Board. There they raised their oldest three children for seven years. When George was named Canada’s scientific representative on the British Joint Services Staff College, the family moved to England for a year and traveled throughout Europe with their young children. In 1956, Elizabeth and George moved to the United States, eventually settling in Princeton, where G e or g e w a s n a m e d f u l l professor at Pr inceton Universit y and Elizabeth focused on raising t heir four children. She was a fo u n d i n g d o c e n t of t h e Pr inceton Universit y Ar t Museum, volunteered for the Girl Scouts and as a dietitian at Princeton Hospital, and kept her knowledge of nutrition and professional credentials up to date t hrough cours es at Rutgers University. As her children grew she transitioned to a full-time career as a senior consultant for New Jersey’s State School Nutrition Program, a position she held for 20 years. In 1970, the family of six, along with Elizabeth’s parents, traveled to Hungary to visit Sajókaza. Later, after retirement George and Elizabeth enjoyed travel around the world to many destinations in Europe and Asia. Elizabeth’s lifelong interest in food and nutrition began at home with her mother and grandmother. Perhaps their greatest legacy was Elizabeth’s famous cabbage rolls, relished by all. At home she created bountiful feasts for friends and family, encouraging second helpings, as was the Hungarian tradition. Elizabeth was the epitome of a lifelong learner. Her study and teaching of art flourished over decades at the Princeton University Art Museum, where she loved giving tours, especially for schoolchildren. Elizabeth also audited cours es at Princeton University in art history, French, and history. She was an avid reader, and enjoyed a wide variety of writing — from contemporary novels to Dick Francis mysteries to history. As a nonagenarian she re-read Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past. Elizabeth’s top priority was her family and she relished spending time with her grandchildren, supporting them in their many and varied activities. Elizabeth is remembered as a loving and lovely woman with a friendly smile and easy laugh. With grace and intelligence she befriended people from all walks of life, who were drawn to her warmth. Elizabeth is survived by her son Frank (Nadya Day) and his children Alicia, Alec, and Eli; her daughter Elaine (Tom Small) and their children Wills and Sasha; her daughter Jolanne (Jim Stanton) and their children Matthew, James, and George; and her daughter Heather (Gerard Kunkel) and their children Brittany and Dane. Friends may contact the family at LuchakStanton@ gmail.com. Memorials may be made to the Princeton University Art Museum Docent Program or a charity of your choice.
mer Theatre, and The New York Shakespeare Festival. Gren’s mentor, Paul Baker, Founder of the Dallas Theater Center, described him as “a most unusual and brilliant young man, very individual, with great potential.” One of his signature roles was that of F.D.R. in the musical Annie, staged at the Chiswick Park Theatre outside Boston. Gren directed Murder in the Cathedral by T.S. Eliot for his masters project at Sarah Lawrence College, using the whole of the interior of Trinity Church for the production, and casting Ernest Gordon, Dean of Princeton University Chapel, in the leading role of Archbishop Thomas Becket. Gren also acted in a number of films, such as Mona Lisa Smile, The Devil and Daniel Webster, Housesitter, and The Witches of Eastwick. In addition, he appeared in several television productions, including playing the role of The Blacksmith in The Scarlet Letter. His teaching career began when he served as Graduate Assistant in Theatre at Bucknell University. Later, Gren taught English and directed plays at the University School, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Concord Academy, Concord, Massachusetts in its newly constructed Performing Arts Center. His drama students flourished under his superb direction, and their parents praised his uncanny ability to inspire their children to bring characters to life onstage. Gren also served as Assistant Curator, Theatre and Museum Collection, Museum of the City of New York (1974-75). He was recognized for discovering an original
manuscript of an early Eugene O’Neill play that became the centerpiece of an exhibit, “Eugene O’Neill — America’s Playwright” at the museum in May, 1974. Besides all of the above, Gren was an enthusiastic athlete. He was co-captain of the Groton football team and played freshman hockey at Princeton University’s Baker Rink, named for his cousin Hobey Baker. At 6’6” tall, he was a competitive tennis player and a formidable opponent at the net. Up to six months before his death, Gren could be seen jogging on the paths at Meadow Lakes. His family is going to miss his humor, comedic pantomimes, intellectual curiosity, creativity, expressiveness, love of beauty, devotion to family…and poetry. It is fitting to include one of his poems here, since his eighty-second birthday would have fallen on Easter, April 12, 2020. Resurrection The ivy plant descends, winter upon us. Despite all, it climbs— dead leaves in descent, green leaves in ascent— per ardua ad alta.
four nephews, six greatnieces, three great-nephews, one great-great-nephew, and many cousins. The family would like to thank the medical and social-work staff at Meadow Lakes for their consistent and loving attention as well as Vitas Healthcare, which provided beautiful and spiritual hospice care toward the end of Gren’s life.
The funeral and burial service will be held at 1 p.m. at Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, on April 11, 2020. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Springpoint Senior Living Foundation, Meadow Lakes, 300 Etra Road, East Windsor, New Jersey 08520 or to Friends of Theatre Intime, 5557 First Center, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540.

which all kinds of people — big and small, old and young — performed skits, sang, recited poetry, and told stories around the dining-room table. In addition, his parents invited friends and various relatives to live at their home when they were in need of a temporary refuge, so life was never dull. All of this activity no doubt contributed to Gren’s pursuit of a career in the theater.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT HOME FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY When you and your family are searching for a home, there are many factors to consider before making a final decision to put a formal offer in on the house you've got your eye (and perhaps heart) on. While it's easy to fall in love with several houses you’ve toured, it is essential to take the needs of your entire family into consideration before proceeding. - Figure out the right size. Factor in how many people are likely to eventually live in the house. Be sure the house is roomy enough to accommodate everyone, but not so large it becomes a burden to care for and maintain. - Consider the renovation potential. If you are buying an older home, consider the possibility you’ll want to remodel or renovate. Can you see yourself hiring a contractor to knock down walls, tear up the kitchen or bathroom, or redesign the floorplan? - Envision living in the house. Imagine what your furniture will look like once you've moved in. Visualize painting the walls a fresh new color. Walk around the property and imagine the deck or yard filled with patio furniture or the kids’ toys.

In addition to listing and showing houses, educating my clients in all aspects of the real estate market and process is my primary goal. My educational background has provided me with a deep understanding of home aesthetics and construction. With a master’s degree in the history of art and architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, I have a special appreciation for historic homes and homes with unique architectural relevancy and have a practical working knowledge of home remodeling, having learned how to plumb, wire, frame, and roof my own properties. I can help buyers and sellers identify potential risks in properties and can provide insight into what the repair costs might be. As a native Princetonian and having raised five children in the Princeton area, I am well versed in the academic, recreational, social, and cultural fabric of the community. Housing choices will often be dependent on understanding the various school districts and family opportunities available in Princeton proper and its surrounding communities. My ability to guide clients step-by-step through the often complicated process of buying or selling a home is appreciated by my clients, since I am fortunate to enjoy much repeat and personal referral business. I have earned many awards and recognitions for my accomplishments through the years. I deeply value my client relationships, past and present, and look forward to helping new buyers and sellers navigate today’s housing market. I love the real estate business and I embrace the opportunity to earn the trust of new clients.

My real estate expertise is informed by my corporate and small business background. I’m a creative problem solver with a cool head and well-developed negotiating skills, and my clients always have top priority. Community involvement is an important aspect of my life. I’ve been a member of Trinity Church since moving to Princeton, serving on the Vestry (the governing board) and as director of Youth Education. I am a past member of the Master Gardeners of Mercer County, I co-founded a community-based business networking group, Princeton Works, in 2012, and am an active supporter of the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative. Robin L. Wallack, Broker Associate Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, REALTORS® 253 Nassau Street, Princeton O: (609) 683-8505; C: (609) 462-2340 robin.wallack@foxroach.com My experiences in the workplace and the community are both extensive and intensive. I spent many years working as assistant to the director of Career Services at Princeton University. I served on the Princeton Regional Board of Education for six years as both president and vice president. I also served as vice president of the Mercer County Board of Education, as a Princeton Civil Rights commissioner and as a member of the Site Plan Advisory Board. Real estate is a process, and I am with you every step of the way. For me, real estate is deeply rooted in relationships. Even after you close on your house, you can always feel free to call me for advice, for help, for information. As one of my customers once said, “Once we work with you, we’re velcroed together forever!” I will be there for you, both as you change and as your real estate needs change. I recognize that “home” means different things to different people and my success is predicated on knowing what my customers expect, and then showing you those homes that meet your specific needs. My knowledge of the Princeton area comes from years of service to my community. My ability to meet your needs comes from decades of working with wonderful clients and customers. How rewarding it has been to have “repeat” customers and clients, and to be referred to their children or parents.
