Alexander St. Bridge Reconstruction Project Approaches Completion After nearly six months of detours and traffic delays throughout the Princeton area, motorists will be happy when they can once again travel in and out of Princeton on Alexander Street, where an extensive bridge construction project is scheduled to be completed by April 20. “Everyone is looking forward to the bridge reopening, especially daily commuters who bore the brunt of the increased traffic,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “The county and the state did an excellent job keeping the project on schedule. And I am especially thankful to Princeton University, Princeton’s merchant community, and NJ Transit for working in advance with the municipality to plan around the bridge closure and help mitigate the impacts.” The section of Alexander Street/Alexander Road between Lawrence Drive and Canal Pointe Boulevard has been closed since November 6, as the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (MCDOTI) have replaced two aging bridges and a culvert that span the Delaware and Raritan (D&R) Canal, Stony Brook, and a tributary to Stony Brook. The bridges, which were over 70 years old, in poor condition, and too narrow for today’s traffic, are in the final stages of being replaced with safer and wider roadways to improve traffic flow, as well as shoulders and sidewalks on both sides. Expressing some concerns over delays and the contractor’s ability to meet the April 20 deadline, the county engineer’s office on Monday described the work as “ongoing.” Utility work by American Water and PSE&G needs to be completed before “remaining approach roadway work, including milling and resurfacing, drainage, curbing, guiderail, and striping” can take place. Assistant County Engineer Basit A. Muzaffar wrote in an email on on Monday, “PSE&G is scheduled to commence their work on March 14. All in all, if PSE&G (gas) can get in and out quickly, we should be in good shape.” NJDOT and Mercer County have worked cooperatively and simultaneously to replace bridges under each of their jurisdictions. NJDOT, owner of the D&R Canal Bridge on Alexander Road Continued on Page 8

Possible COVID-19 Exposure in Princeton As the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread across the country, with increasing numbers of cases in New Jersey and the tri-state area, local officials on Tuesday reported a potential exposure to COVID-19 at a private party in Princeton and have initiated an investigation to identify any potential infections that may result. Two people at the party had attended the Biogen Conference in Boston which has been linked to transmission of COVID-19. After their return to their homes in the Boston area, they tested positive for COVID-19. The Princeton Health Department (PHD) believes there were approximately 30 people at the party, not all Princeton residents. PHD is contacting and investigating all of the Princeton residents who attended the party and is working with other local health jurisdictions where the other attendees live. Those in attendance are being asked to self-quarantine until assessment and any testing is completed. The PHD investigation is preliminary, and PHD has announced that it will be updating the public as more information becomes available. According to a PHD March 10 press release, “The immediate risk to the general Princeton population remains low.”
The party attendees will first be interviewed, said Princeton Board of Health Chair George DiFerdinando. “If they warrant testing, we will test them. If they are positive, we will make sure they are quarantined so that these infections are contained.” As Princeton moves from planning and preparation for COVID-19 to “an exposure situation in town” and a containment strategy, DiFerdinando suggested that residents, particularly older residents and those with health problems, limit group
contacts to avoid “serious possible outcomes if you get infected.” Two Princeton University staff members who were at the party are currently under self-quarantine, and, according to the University, they are being tested with results expected in the coming days. A Princeton University March 10 press release states that the University is working with local health authorities to identify and contact those who may have been in close contact with the staff members Continued on Page 7
Council Approves Resolution To Remove Fueling Station Canopy Princeton Council voted unanimously on Monday, March 9, in favor of a resolution to hire the contractor Independence Constructors for removal of the canopy at the municipal fueling station on Mount Lucas Road. Since the canopy was installed last February, neighbors have complained that it is unsightly and too harshly lit at night. The resolution authorizes $61,227 for the project, which will also include new lighting, extending a masonry wall, raising all masonry walls to nine feet, and installing dark-colored stucco and capstone to the wall.
The town’s Site Plan Review Advisory Board (SPRAB) has also recommended removing a rain garden for stormwater runoff at the site, and adding more screening on the other side, which is on Route 206. The rain garden, which is a stormwater requirement, is currently located in a tight spot between a 6-foot-wide sidewalk and a wall. That limits choices in terms of what can be planted there. With an estimated cost of $124,500 to get permission to change the design from the Department of Environmental Continued on Page 8

The first loaf she ever baked as a child in Belleville, New Jersey, was from a cookbook she discovered in her elementary school library. “I thought it was so magical. And I always dreamed of writing one of my own,” Carson said during a chat at LiLLiPiES on a recent Monday, the one day of the week that the bakery is closed.
TOPICS Of the Town Carson has recently made that dream a reality. Titled simply LiLLiPiES, her selfpublished cookbook w ill be launched this Saturday, March 14 as part of Princeton’s Pi Day celebrations honoring the birthday of A lber t Einstein. A book signing at the bakery will start at 3:14 p.m. (3.14 is also the approximate value of pi). The 206-page volume is also available on Amazon. com. LiLLiPiES is filled with photos by Chiara Goldenstern and illustrations by Sofia Schreiber, both Princeton High School juniors. Along with easy-to-follow recipes for different kinds of breads, pastries, cookies, pies, and more, the book includes helpful pointers on measuring, the best implements to use, bagel-shaping, challah-braiding, and pie crust crimping, among other techniques. There are sections on breakfast, beverages, and vegan baking. There is even a recipe for dog biscuits. Carson has cooked for as long as she can remember. She grew up in a family of Italian American women, and her grandfather was a butcher in Newark. Some of her earliest recollections center around food. “My first memory of cooking is of making ravioli with my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother on a piece of plywood at the kitchen table,” she writes in the introduction to her book. “I remember the texture of the wood and how the dough slid easily back and forth on the surface without sticking.
I was about 5 years old, just old enough to have the attention span to help in this multi-step process.” Relatives warned Carson to avoid working in the food business. She took their advice — at first. But baking and owning her own bakery eventually won out. “I’ve followed a very weird path,” she said. “I studied education and math in college. I taught elementary school for six years before my husband and I had children. Then, Continued on Next Page

New Cookbook Continued from Preceding Page
when they were really little, I started getting baking for a friend’s company. And it took off from there.” Carson found a commercial kitchen space at her church, sharing it with a few others. She formed her own company, calling it Jen’s Cakes and Pastries, and began baking in earnest, getting up at 3 a.m. when her family was still asleep. She started selling at local farmers markets and began wholesaling to Small World Coffee. “I realized that I had found my passion,” Carson writes in the book. But she had a long way to go before opening LiLLiPiES. She studied restaurant management on weekends at The French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. She worked for Brick Far m Market and Small World. Finally, after two locations fell through, she opened the bakery, which she named after the first product she ever sold, at Princeton Shopping Center. It quickly earned a following not only for the baked goods, but also for open mic nights, cooking and baking classes, and a monthly practice of donating 10 percent of proceeds to a local cause. The cookbook is $29.99 at the bakery and $39.99 on amazon.com. All proceeds will be donated to Princeton School Gardens Cooperative. The idea for the book came together with the help of Sophia Schreiber, who works at the bakery, and Chiara Goldenstern, who is a family friend. “We put it together as a document with Sophia’s illustrations and Chiara’s photographs,” said Carson. “I’m actually glad it is self-published, because we had full control of how we wanted to do it. We’re all so proud of it.” Carson credits her staff for much of her success. “I love that we have photos of the whole staff in the book,” she said. “The people who work here are the most important part of this bakery.” —Anne Levin

since their potential exposure to COVID-19. Princeton University announced Monday that it will move to virtual instruction beginning Monday, March 23 and decrease the number of gatherings on campus. Spring vacation at Princeton University begins this Friday, March 13. Students will be encouraged to stay home after the week-long break and complete academic requirements remotely. Proceeding on “the assumption that the virus will spread more broadly and eventually reach our campus,” Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber wrote in his letter to the University community, “We will begin instituting a series of policies and practices this week based on the concept of social distancing,” with the goal being to minimize large group gatherings and extended periods of people in close proximity. “To achieve this goal, we will virtualize any activities such as lectures, seminars, and precepts, that can be put online,” he went on. “We will continue to support, where possible and subject to appropriate restrictions, research, educational, and campus life activities that require physical presence.” The policies will remain in place at least through Sunday, April 5, and will be reassessed in the meantime in light of ongoing developments. Eisgruber emphasized “that these are extraordinary times that require exceptional measures to deal
with a health risk that affects us all.” He acknowledged that these measures would cause “significant disruption and inconvenience to the campus community, but stated, “we strongly believe that actions taken now will have the greatest chance of decreasing risk, and that the potential consequences of not acting could far outweigh these short-term disruptions.” As the University continues to develop its policies for meetings and events, including athletic contests and performances, it encourages the following social distancing techniques: keep at least six feet between yourself and another person in all public places; avoid close contact, including handshakes and hugging; and limit in-person meetings. Princeton University event organizers are instructed to use remote technology whenever possible and to postpone or cancel events that involve more than 100 people. University-sponsored international travel is prohibited, and all personal international travel is strongly discouraged. Non-essential University-sponsored domestic travel should be postponed or canceled. At Princeton Public Schools (PPS), working in tandem with local health officials, plans are moving forward for the possibility of an extended school closure with students taught remotely and students who qualify for free and reduced lunch continuing to receive meals. “Currently in Princeton, our response measures include stringent and frequent
cleaning of our buildings and buses; respiratory and hygiene education and practice; careful monitoring of daily attendance and of any staff or student illnesses; and social distancing in the form of greetings other than handshakes and hugs,” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane wrote in a letter to students, staff, and families. The district will implement an early dismissal day on Monday, March 16 to give staff time to plan for possible closure and distance learning. David Herman, infectious diseases committee chair at Penn Medicine Princeton Health, stated in an email on Tuesday, ”We remain confident that our clinical staff is well equipped to identify, isolate, and treat patients with COVID-19 while simultaneously helping to prevent exposure to others.” Herman pointed out that leaders from Penn Medicine Princeton Health have been working for months on the coronavirus, closely monitoring the latest information and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), coordinating also with local, regional, and state health officials. He added that individuals who are not sick, unless they are coming in for scheduled treatment or services, are encouraged not to visit the hospital. “We are also tr ying to educate patients on the actions they should take if they believe they have been exposed to COVID-19. Those who are not sick should not
go to the hospital to request testing. Those individuals should contact their local health officials.” He recommended that individuals should seek guidance at the Penn Medicine Princeton Health website www.princetonhcs.org; at the CDC website www.cdc. g o v /c o r o n a v i r u s / 2 019 ncov/about/steps-when-sick. html; or at the NJDOH hot l i n e at 8 0 0 -222 -1222, where health care professionals will answer callers’ coronavirus questions. —Donald Gilpin

28, someone “keyed” their vehicle while it was parked in a lot on the 900 block of Herrontown Road. The damage is estimated to be under $500. On March 1, at 12: 58 p.m., a caller reported that two females, described as approximately 18 to 25 years old with brown hair, shoplifted several articles of Nike clothing from a store on Nassau Street.

in West Windsor, contracted with Anselmi & DeCicco, Inc. to replace their bridge structure, while MCDOTI contracted with Marbro, Inc. to replace the truss bridge over Stony Brook and a stream culvert located south of Lawrence Drive. Project schedules were coordinated to minimize the duration of traffic impacts. “This is a remarkable example of the county and the state working together with the municipality to think through a project and execute it with the least discomfort to the community,” said Princeton Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton. “We’ve also been blessed with good weather.“ Stockton noted a number of challenges involved with the complex project, not the least of which was the timing. The county was originally ahead of the state in the planning and design process, which typically takes three to five years. The state expedited its preparations to catch up with the county so that the two entities could complete their work simultaneously and keep t he construction process in a six-month time frame. “This was a great example
of collaboration and how to work together,” Stockton said. Princeton Police Depar tment Chief Nicholas Sutter complimented area motorists on their adaptability during the months of traffic stress. “While it has been inconvenient for many, I have to say that the overall traffic volume impact on our local roads has not been as bad as we expected,” he said. “People seem to have adapted very well.” He continued, “This is not to say that at times arteries like Washington Road and Harrison Street do not feel an impact, but overall it has been better than expected.” Stockton also repor ted that the NJDOT is in the concept development phase of planning for the replacement of the Washington Road Bridge, a project that will take place in two to five years. The NJDOT has honored the municipality and county’s request that Washington Road construction not reduce travel lanes, so all the proposed alternatives include keeping traffic flowing in both directions during construction. The NJDOT is also planning, two to five years in the future, to replace the Quaker Road Bridge over the D&R Canal. —Donald Gilpin
Fueling Station Canopy continued from page one
Protection and the Delaware River Canal Commission, Council agreed to look further into alternatives to the proposal before taking any action. Getting a new plan approved by the DEP would be the first step that would have to be taken, said municipal engineer Deanna Stockton. Council discussed having Stockton come back with a more limited proposal, after consulting a civil engineer who is an expert in rain gardens. “I’m frankly ver y concerned about opening things with the DEP,” said Councilwoman Eve Niedergang. “It could lead to a very long delay.” Councilwoman Mia Sacks asked whether the rationale for moving the rain garden was aesthetic or related to safety. While both are taken into consideration, the priority is safety. Councilman David Cohen said, “A big part of what we’re trying to do is improve the pedestrian experience.” There is also concern that runoff from the driveway could include fuel, which would affect the health of plantings at the site. One alternative that was mentioned is to replace the rain

garden with an underground water storage. The municipal fueling station is next to the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad’s new headquarters. Responding to residents’ objections about the canopy last fall, the governing body explored moving the station elsewhere. But they voted to keep it in the same location while making various accommodations. A municipal fueling station has been on the property at the corner of Valley Road and Mount Lucas Road since the early 1980s. It was the former Princeton Township’s fueling station for school buses, police vehicles, ambulances, and fire trucks. —Anne Levin
“Reclaiming Our Voice” At Plainsboro Library
Professional stor y teller C arol Simon L ev in w i ll por tray Lillian Feicker t, president of the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association from 1912-1920, at the Plainsboro Public Library at 2 p.m., on Saturday, March 14. The program is part of Levin’s mission to tell the stories of “women whom history forgot.” “Reclaiming our Voice : New Jersey’s Role in the Fight for Woman Suffrage” highlights the decisive role that New Jersey women played in the struggle for the vote. As Feickert, Levin, dressed in the white of suffrage activists, will recount the stories of many lesserknown New Jersey women active in the suffrage fight, along with New Jerseyans Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone. Few people realize that some women in New Jersey had the vote from 1776, Levin points out. They lost it in 1807 and struggled for more than 100 years to reclaim it, succeeding only in 1920 when the 19th Amend-

Instrumental in the amendment’s passage was Mt. Laurel resident Alice Paul, who organized suffrage parades in Washington, D.C., picketed the Woodrow Wilson White House, was arrested, and went on a hunger strike for the cause. “Woodrow Wilson hated Alice Paul,” said Levin, “but he realized it was politically expedient to support the amendment.” Women in a number of western states and in New York already had the right to vote; and

World War I had changed the role of women who had left their homes in large numbers to work in factories, as nurses on the battlefield, and elsewhere. “The vote was never ‘given’ to women. It was so hard to get, and so many women take it for granted,” Levin said. “Cherish it. Use it. If our voices are not heard, other people will speak for us.” Levin holds a bachelor’s degree in women’s history and the history of technology from Cornell University, and a master’s degree in library services from the University of Arizona. She is the author of a book Remembering the Ladie s : From Patriots in Petticoats to Presidential Candidates, which profiles 69 women who have worked for women’s rights in America.

Growth Mindset at Princeton Charter In its ongoing focus on developing a growth mindset in kindergarten through fourth grade students, Princeton Charter School (PCS) will be hosting hip-hop artist and motivational speaker CJ Luckey and his Celebrating All Persevering Students (CAPS) tour on March 24. “The concept of growth mindset stems from the examination of how students are better positioned to persevere when faced with challenges and adversity,” said Lacey Plichta, second grade teacher and program organizer. “A growth mindset believes that anything is possible and abilities can be developed with learning, practice, and dedication.” Plichta noted that, at the March 24 event, “students will have a great time dancing, singing, and learning concepts that will benefit them not only in the classroom but in life as well. This hour-long presentation will leave students encouraged empowered, and inspired.”

Budget and Backyard Chickens Among Topics at Council Meeting An update on COVID-19 took up a large portion of Princeton Council’s meeting on Monday night, March 9. Several resolutions and ordinances were also on the agenda, involving the removal of the canopy at the fuel facility on Mount Lucas Road (see page one story), the introduction of the 2020 budget, raising backyard chickens, and other issues. “You’re not a hero by going to work when you should stay at home,” said Mayor Liz Lempert after a presentation on the coronavirus by Princeton Health Officer Jeff Grosser and Princeton Board of Health Chair George DiFer-
dinando, advising those who are elderly or compromised to remain at home. “You’re actually a menace.” (See page one for more on the virus). Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance regulating the keeping of backyard chickens on residential property. “I look forward to legally owning my chickens,” said Karen Zemble, a member of the Princeton Environmental Commission (PEC) and an enthusiastic proponent of raising backyard poultry. The PEC advanced a resolution over a year ago in support of Princeton residents who keep hens and other poultry in their backyards
for personal egg production. As part of the resolution, PEC resolved to support an education campaign for the public. Before consolidation of Princeton’s former Borough and Township in 2013, the zoning ordinance of the Township addressed commercial farming, while the Borough’s ordinance addressed domestic animals, but neither defined the practice of keeping backyard chickens. Information will be provided on the municipal website to help those interested in keeping the poultry. Zemble said someone has offered to give a class on the subject. Administrator Marc Dashield and Chief Financial Officer Sandy Webb introduced the 2020 municipal budget, stressing that it was the beginning of a multi-step process before a final budget is approved. Dashield said the budget proposes an increase of $70.31 on the average assessed value of a house, and that the municipal portion of the average tax bill would be $4,216.76, an increase of $70 from last year. The total budget figure is $64,894,329.84, up $675,341.03 from last year. The Citizens Finance Advisory Committee (CFAC) has reviewed the proposed budget. A public hearing is set for April 6. It can be reviewed on the municipal website. An ordinance approving application for a long-term tax exemption authorizing the execution of a financial agreement with AvalonBay for the development project on Thanet Road was approved by Council 5-1, with Councilwoman Eve Niedergang giving the one opposing vote. —Anne Levin

The eleventh annual Princeton Pi Day, celebrating Einstein’s birthday on March 14 (3.14, which is also the first three digits of the mathematical constant known as pi), will be taking place mainly in a virtual setting online this year in response to Covid-19 concerns. “This is the perfect opportunity to invite the world in a digital context to experience how much of Einstein is in our everyday lives in Princeton,” said Pi Day Founder and Chief Organizer Mimi Omiecinski. Urging fans to join Princeton Pi Day on Facebook, Omiecinski promised, “You will become an expert on Albert Einstein throughout the day.” She promised multiple videos about Einstein, with opportunities to see little known places on campus and in town and Einstein memorabilia unknown to the general public. For the popular Einstein Look-Alike Contest, each c onte s t a nt, ag e 12 a n d younger, will send in a photo and a video. The winner will
be announced on Pi Day, with a first-place prize of $314.15. “Every child on the planet should consider participating,” Omiecinski said, adding that many kids had competed for multiple years and that “canceling the event would have been inconceivable.” Another Pi Day highlight, the Pi Recitation Contest with a cash prize for pre-teens, also $314.15, will take place online. After registering online, contestants will be assigned a secure location where they will recite pi with the two judges, Dave Fiore and Marc Umile. The event will be live streamed on Facebook starting at 1 p.m. on March 14. Fiore was the first person to recite pi to 10,000 digits, and Umile was the 2007 Pi Recitation North American Champion with more than 15,000 digits of pi. Other highlights of Princeton’s virtual Pi Day will include, according to Omiecinski, a video of the smartest person in Princeton explaining the theory of relativity in 3.14 minutes, disclosure of the secret to creating a per-

fect pie crust, instructions on how to have pie-eating and pie-throwing contests at home, how to create your own Pi-rade, “and just like pi, the list goes on and on,” Omiecinski added. “We want to make this something the world takes notice of.” The Einstein-related events will begin Wednesday, March 11 at 7 p.m.with a presentation online, originally scheduled for the Princeton Public Library, by Michael Gordon of his book Einstein in Bohemia. At 11 a.m. on March 14, Martin Mandelberg will discuss online his recently published biography of the computer scientist and educator Richard W. Hamming. Also available on video online will be a presentation by Institute for Advanced Studies Member Susan Clark on “Our Magnetic Universe.” Born in Germany, Einstein em ig rated to t he United States in 1933. He settled in Princeton, lived at 112 Mercer Street, and was an integral part of the IAS until his death in 1955. In a special birthday surprise, the J. Seward Johnson Jr. Foundation was scheduled to deliver a bronze sculpture of Einstein created by J. Seward Johnson Jr. to Palmer Square on Wednesday afternoon, March 11. It will stay in Palmer Square for an extended period of time, Omiecinski said. For further information, visit Princeton Pi Day on Facebook or go to princetontourcompany.com. —Donald Gilpin

In the w inter of 17771778, George Washington’s Ar my suffered through harsh winter with limited supplies at Valley Forge, Pa. During that same winter, the residents of Trenton were almost overwhelmed with satisfying the Army’s manufacturing and supply demands while also trying to perform their obligations to serve in the militia. This bit of histor y about New Jersey’s capital cit y was not well known until the publishing of Kidder’s book,
The book portrays Trenton as a beehive of activity that winter. Gen. Casimir Pulaski had come to town making a great many demands for leather goods and supplies for all the cavalry units under his command. The Pennsylvania State Nav y had taken refuge in town, with supply demands for weapons, clothing, shoes, boots, and more to be manufactured by the many artisans in the community. All presentations are included in the regular cost of admission, which ranges from $8-$10. Children under 6 and active U.S. military members are admitted free.

Leticia Fraga Has “What it Takes to Make a Real Difference” on Council
To the Editor: In this election season, I write to add my voice to the chorus singing praises of Councilwoman Leticia Fraga and supporting her re-election this spring. Raised here in Princeton, I have seen many people come and go from 08540, cycling in and out of public service. On some level, all of them want the best for our town. Some people, more than others, however, have what it takes to make a real difference. For her dedication, patience, curiosity, intelligence, sensitivity, and willingness to work through tough problems, Ms. Fraga sets herself apart from the rest of the field. In the nearly 20 years that I have had the privilege of knowing Ms. Fraga, she has committed her time and talent to supporting the health, growth, learning, and stability of this community. As liaison to the Human Services and Civil Rights Commissions, to the Youth Advisory Committee, and in her capacity as police commissioner, Fraga brings to bear her professional background in law and advocacy which she gained working in the U.S. and overseas, in both the public and the private sectors. Leticia helped spearhead the revitalization of Civil Rights Commission as a stand-alone entity. That body, which I am honored to chair, acts as a watchdog, an advisory body, a source of public education and outreach. Our mandate is to safeguard the rights of residents from underserved and historically marginalized groups. In the current political atmosphere of our nation, this responsibility is as vital as it has been at any time in my life. Now, more than ever, Princeton needs Leticia Fraga on Council as a voice for the voiceless and an advocate for the public good. Leticia epitomes the American dream. A first generation immigrant, she migrated with her family from Mexico as a young girl. Whether in outreach to our local migrant students or as liaison to the Youth Advisory Board, whether she is working on housing or parking or as liaison to the Health Department, Ms. Fraga is a champion of fairness, equity, responsibility, safety, transparency, and inclusion. A consensus builder, Leticia is nothing if she’s not an honest broker, clearing a space for us to find our common interests on the issues that affect us all. “That,” she says, “is what makes a community.” Watching Ms. Fraga do her job for the residents of Princeton, I think of President Obama’s words of assurance, which we need now more than ever: “Si Se Puede.” Yes WE Can. Together, let’s re-elect Leticia Fraga, to continue to forge ahead on the urgent priorities that affect us all. Leticia has been there for all of us, let’s be there for her. On June 2, 2020, vote Fraga for Council. THOMAS PARKER Leigh Avenue
Resident Questions Weekend Parking Fees at Dinky Parking Lot
To the Editor: As residents of Princeton New Jersey, I am sure we all know what a privilege it is to live in a community that offers culture, education opportunities, safety, a clean healthy environment, and more. We also know the challenge parking our cars in town presents. We know that fees realized from parking generate much-needed revenue for the town. That being said, several months ago my wife and I parked our car at the Dinky parking lot, on a Sunday, thinking that parking at the Dinky lot on Sunday was free. We received no fine, or summons, for parking at the Dinky lot that Sunday. Maybe we were lucky no meter person did an inspection. Two weeks ago, on a Sunday, we went back to the Dinky lot. Only this time, I noticed signs indicating that parking at the Dinky lot must be paid seven days a week. I dutifully paid the fee, but I was upset that there is a fee on Sunday. Our son lives in Larchmont, New York, Westchester County. Expensive homes, high taxes. We had to go to an event next to the Larchmont train station, on a weekend. We were told by our daughter-in-law that parking at the Larchmont train station on Saturday and Sunday is free. Praise the L—D! I request that Princeton Mayor Lempert and Princeton Council consider a change at the Dinky lot for Saturday and Sunday. We in Princeton pay a lot of taxes. I am sure free parking at the Dinky on weekends, or at least on Sunday, is not going to negatively impact the budget of the town. Give the community of Princeton “a break” and allow free parking at the Dinky on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. HOWARD W. SILBERSHER Governors Lane
Noting Council Candidate Dina Shaw’s Proven Effectiveness, Passion for Town
To the Editor: I’m delighted to write this letter to support Dina Shaw’s candidacy for Princeton Council. I’ve known Dina for over 40 years and have been in close touch with her throughout the nearly two decades she’s lived in Princeton. I can say with unequivocal confidence that Dina is committed to
continuously improving Princeton, and will bring a fresh voice and deep passion to the challenges our town faces in the coming years. Dina’s professional success in finance, executive recruiting, and most recently as an entrepreneur, was in large part due to her laser focus on identifying opportunities, building constituencies, and achieving outcomes others may see as unattainable. Generous with her time and her ideas, Dina does not play political games, nor does she seek the limelight. Dina has applied that same passion to advocating for so many of the things that make life in our town so unique. Her work leading the Littlebrook and John Witherspoon PTO’s created the type of extracurricular experiences that attract new families to our school system. Her role on the Princeton Public Library Board enhances student education and adult enrichment programs that only Princeton can offer. During her campaign for a seat on Princeton Council, Dina has also focused on the needs of our underserved communities, the role of local business owners in creating a vibrant downtown experience, and opportunities to drive closer synergies with the University. Her “big tent” mentality will welcome all Princetonians to participate in our future while strengthening our shared civic responsibility. My family, like many we’ve met, moved to Princeton because of the quality of life so unique to this very special town. Dina Shaw understands that the things we treasure about Princeton cannot be taken for granted; they require professional and effective management. As a member of Princeton Council, Dina’s proven effectiveness, inclusive management style, and passion for our town will contribute to an ever-improving Princeton. Please join me in supporting her candidacy for Princeton Council. DREW M. NULAND Woods Way
getting our groceries delivered weekly by McCaffrey’s for several years, typically in four to six paper bags. If we have to provide our own non-disposable bags, in the simplest sequence I can picture McCaffrey’s would provide a cubby for our bags, and on our delivery days the shopper/delivery person would retrieve our bags and give them to a checker/ bagger to use for our order when it is ready. At delivery, the McCaffrey’s rep stands by while we empty the bags, and then takes them back to be returned to our cubby. All this assumes that McCaffrey’s decides to keep providing a delivery service under such constraints. It seems doubtful that they will, whereupon our option is to find someone who will shop for us each week, preferably at a time convenient for us and at a cost comparable to what McCaffrey’s now charges. I am puzzled by the inchoate enthusiasm among some activists that lumps paper bags with plastic as to their environmental impact. Paper bags are biodegradable, and because of their durability and utility they are hardly ever truly single-use. Pictures of plastic debris fouling reefs and beaches and open ocean rarely, if ever, feature used paper shopping bags. There is another potential environmental negative to requiring shoppers to bring their own bags. If under the new regime the typical shopper fails to bring and remember to keep bringing six or more personal bags, he or she is going to make a lot of extra shopping trips. The number of trips, and the number of miles driven, is inversely proportional to the number of bags shoppers faithfully carry. The adverse environmental effects of multiple car trips almost certainly outweigh those of retailers’ continuing to provide paper bags. JOHN STROTHER Grover Avenue
Human Services Commission Members Endorse Leticia Fraga for Council
Books
To the Editor: We write to enthusiastically endorse Leticia Fraga for re-election to town Council. We have known Leticia for at least nine years when she joined us on Princeton’s Human Services Commission. She immediately gave us new perspectives as we worked to address issues facing our town’s most vulnerable residents. Based on her work as a nine year, full-time civil rights investigator in her home state of Washington, we chose Leticia to chair our subcommittee of Human Services that revived a stand-alone Civil Rights Commission which had enjoyed great success from 1968-98. While it became a subcommittee of Human Services after that, it gradually lost its independence and effectiveness. Revival as an independent Commission required listening to 18 former elected and appointed officials, research into what other towns do, and collaboration with Princeton’s current leadership to make it a reality in 2016. When she moved to Princeton in 1999, Leticia soon joined her school PTAs. She has 15-year-old twins who have attended PPS starting in kindergarten. Before that, they attended pre-school at the Jewish Center. Her adult daughter graduated from PHS. Leticia’s skills and accomplishments go far beyond her civil rights work. Underlying them all is her ability and willingness to listen and consider fairly all points of view. These skills are what have made her work on Council so successful since first elected in the fall of 2017. Leticia is currently Council liaison to Public Safety (she serves as the town’s police commissioner and has worked closely with Chief Sutter, including provision of better stop and arrest demographics); the Health Department (including expanding hours of the “well baby clinic”); and to the Human Services and Civil Rights Commissions. She also serves on the Personnel and Youth Advisory Committees, and assists the Economic Development Committee. Leticia currently chairs the 2020 Census Princeton Complete Count Committee (CCC). They are working to develop outreach, education, and assistance to ensure maximum participation of our residents, including those who are historically undercounted. For the next decade, results of the 2020 Census will determine representation in the state and federal legislatures, and the amount of funding we will be eligible to receive for community services, grants, and school lunches. She does not shy away from difficult tasks, where it is almost impossible to please everyone. Leticia chairs the Permit Parking Task Force (PPTF) which aims to address the parking needs of residents, visitors, and employees of local businesses. They have reviewed the current system, conducted research on best practices implemented by other communities, and solicited input through online surveys and at neighborhood meetings. Through all this public service work, starting in Washington state, and now in Princeton for over 20 years, Leticia Fraga has demonstrated time and again her commitment to fairness, an open mind, hard work and tenacity. This is why we will vote for Leticia in the PCDO endorsement vote on Sunday, March 15, and hope that you will too! JOHN HEILNER Howe Circle LARRY SPRUILL Oak Lane
PEN WINNER: Yiyun Li, professor of Creative Writing in Princeton University’s Program in Creative Writing, has received the PEN/ Jean Stein Book Award for her novel, “Where Reasons End.” The award carries a stipend of $75,000. (Photo by Denise Applewhite)
Yiyun Li, professor of Creative Writing in Princeton University’s Program in Creative Writing, has received the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award for her novel, Where Reasons End. The award was announced at the annual PEN America Literary Awards Ceremony on March 2 at the Town Hall in New York City. Where Reasons End records posthumous conversations between a mother and the young son she recently lost to suicide. “In this spare, haunting, deeply humane novel, Yiyun Li bends the conventions of narrative to accommodate an extremity of experience that’s often beyond representation,” noted the panel of judges when announcing the award. P ublished in Febr uar y 2019, the novel has been included on several recom mended reading lists including TIME magazine, New York Times, The Irish Times, The Guardian, and NPR. In December, Literary Hub named it among “26 Books from the Last Decade that More People Should Read.” T h e P E N /J e a n S t e i n Aw a r d w a s e s t ab l i s h e d in 2016 to honor a booklength work of any genre for its originality, merit, and impact.

influence. The 2020 panel of judges included Marilyn Ch i n, G ar t h G re enwel l, Rebecca Makkai, Michael S chaub, and William T. Vollmann. The award carries a stipend of $75,000. Past award recipients include Nana Kwame AdjeiBrenyah, Layli Long Soldier, and Hisham Matar. “It’s a great honor to receive this award from PEN America — an important and essential organization supporting American and international writers,” said Li. “The award for this book is also reassurance that literature lives and gives life.” A resident of Princeton, Li grew up in Beijing and came to the United States in 1996 to pursue a science career in immunology before she became a writer. Before joining the creative writing faculty at Princeton in September 2017, she taught fiction at the University of California, Davis, where she received the 2011 Chancellor’s Fellowship, one of the highest and most prestigious faculty honors at the University. The author of six books in addition to Where Reasons End, she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow in 2010 and was chosen by The New Yorker as one of the 20 fiction writers under 40 to watch. Where Reasons End is also included on the longlist for the 2020 PEN/ Faulkner Award for Fiction. Winners will be announced in April.
Sherlock Holmes Comes to the Bryn Mawr Wellesley Book Sale
“S
herlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantelpiece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined arm-chair with a long sigh of satisfaction.” Reading the opening paragraph of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of Four you don’t need a 7 percent solution of anything, be it cocaine, morphine, or the adrenaline of anticipation, to appreciate the twin themes of addiction and deduction at the heart of the impending Bryn Mawr Wellesley Book Sale. Along with a first chapter titled “The Science of Deduction,” you’ve got the simultaneously calming and compelling bedside manner of Sir Arthur’s prose, as he slows you down with phrasing that puts the everyday world on pause for “some little time.” And anyone addicted to the rare book mystique has felt something like the “mental exaltation” so “transcendently stimulating and clarifying to the mind” that Holmes cites in defense of his habit when Watson warns of the “pathological and morbid process” of a drug that may “leave a permanent weakness.” For Holmesian book sleuths who know their stuff without relying on smartphones or scanners, the quest for printed gold requires the deduction of clues in the form of those deceptively trivial details that can make thousands of dollars worth of difference in value. For the first issue of the first edition of The Sign of Four (not its occasional variant The Sign of The Four), the broken numeral “138” on the contents page appears as “13,” and the misprint “w shed” for “wished” is found on page 56, line 16. A copy with those flaws goes for as much as $8500, and might fetch thousands more without the bookseller’s minutely detailed admission of evidence such as “neat repairs at spine ends and corners; corners and board edges slightly bumped; hinges repaired; endpapers blistered in places,” areas of “slight discoloration” on the covers, “gilt a little dulled, especially on spine.” And of course it’s necessary to disclose additional and more exotic clues (move that magnifying glass closer, Holmes), namely the two “faint red
stains on the slightly chipped and curled edge of the contents page.” Mainlining History For contrast, there’s the purely “sentimental value” of the copy of The Sign of Four that I found in my late teens in a Charing Cross Road shop. Both front and back covers have since become, to put it gently, detached, as has the faded, frayed-at-the-edges title page featuring a small etching of the Strand — one of those London place names bathed in reflected Holmesian glory — as seen from the corner of Southampton Street, the location of the publisher, George Newnes Limited. Call it what you will, Watson, there’s nothing morbid or pathological about the “mental exaltation” I feel when mainlining a hypothetical hypo of this 120-year-old solution of sweet disorder and charismatic de crepitude. Nor is any mere monetary value equal to the sensation of being in intimate contact with an object that shared the same por tion of recorded literar y histor y with Holmes, Watson, and their creator Sir Arthur, who has Watson staying “for some time at a private hotel in the Strand” before moving in with Holmes at 221b Baker Street. There being no date on the title page of my copy of The Sign of Four (the bookseller pencilled in “Early omnibus” when pricing it at 7 shillings), I had to look for clues in the advertisements, one of the points online dealers use to distinguish between different editions. On the back of the title page is a large black letter B for Bile Beans, a “Sure Cure for Anemia, Impure or Bad Blood,” not to mention “Bad Breath,” with a coupon for a free sample dated 1901: just add a penny stamp for return postage and send post haste to The Bile Bean Manufacturing Co., 119 & 120 London Wall, London E.C. By the time you get to the ad for Hall’s Wine at the back of the book, it’s too late to get your free bottle of “the World’s Greatest Remedy for Sleeplessness, Neuralgia, Nervous Debility, and Prostration.” Too bad, “the
offer will expire on March 31st, 1899.” Holmes the Author Given the range of the massive collection of Holmesiana displayed at the Bryn MawrWellesley sale, some true believers searching the tables will be hoping to find one of the monographs that Holmes boasts of having authored during an awkward exchange in the opening chapter of Sign of Four. After Watson modestly confesses to publishing his account of the Jefferson Hope case in “a small brochure with the somewhat fantastic title of ‘A Study in Scarlet,’” Holmes says he’s “glanced over it” and is unhappy with its “tinge of romanticism,” which, he complains, “produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.” It’s at this point that Holmes mentions his monograph “Upon the Distinction between the Ashes of the Various Tobaccos,” in which he enumerates “a hundred and forty forms of cigar-, cigarette-, and pipetobacco, with coloured plates illustrating the difference in the ash.” Jeremy Brett Notable among the Holm e s volu m e s at Bryn Mawr is Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes by David Stewart Davies, with contributions from Edward Hardwicke and David Burke, the actors who played Watson to Brett’s incomparable Holmes. In a 2008 DVD review of the Granada series, I noted that Brett plays the part as if his life depended on it. His Holmes prefers to leap over chairs rather than walk around them, and unlike the cold, analytical mastermind embodied by Basil Rathbone, Brett’s is passionately, warmly alive. Another title that caught my eye was Holy Clues : The Gospel According to Sherlock Holmes by Stephen Kendrick, who recieved his B.A. from Princeton, and whose book, according to Jonathan Kirsch of the Los Angeles Times, “makes a convincing case for the proposition that a mystery story is always and inevitably a kind of morality tale.” There are books for younger readers like The Adventure of the Speckled Band
and for the kitchen, Dining with Sherlock Holmes: A Baker Street Cookbook. Some others include, Subcutaneously My Dear Watson: Sherlock Holmes and the Cocaine Habit; Sherlock Holmes Among the Pirates, and Sherlock Holmes: My Life and Crimes by Michael Hardwick (pictured here). My Father’s Holmes I don’t know if William S. Baring-Gould’s boxed two-volume The Annotated Sherlock Holmes published in 1970 by Clarkson Potter will show up at the sale. I still have my father’s copy. Ask him what he wanted for Christmas or on his birthday and he’d say, “Anything to do with Sherlock Holmes,” and any time I want to commune with him, all I have to do is browse through his pencilled notes. In “The Adventure of the Copper Beeches,” I found a “Yes” lightly written in the margin next to the following paragraph: “It was a cold morning of the early spring, and we sat after breakfast on either side of a cheery fire in the old room at Baker Street. A thick fog rolled down between the lines of dun-colored houses, and the opposing windows loomed like dark, shapeless blurs through the heavy yellow wreaths. Our gas was lit and shone on the white cloth and glimmer of china and metal, for the table had not been cleared yet. Sherlock Holmes had been silent all the morning, dipping continuously into the advertisement columns of a succession of papers until at last, having apparently given up his search, he had emerged in no very sweet temper to lecture me upon my literary shortcomings.” hat’s a remarkable “Yes,” being the closest thing to a superlative my austere father permitted himself in the whole 1500-plus pages of the two-volume tome. So why this “Yes” for a paragraph where nothing remarkable appears to happen? I deduce that this is, in fact, a clue — my father’s way of signaling that here is the essence of his scholary attraction to these stories, though he would never have been so forthcoming “in real life.” It’s all there, the cheery morning, the thick fog, the ominous presence of “dark, shapeless blurs through the heavy yellow wreaths,” the gaslight, Holmes’s silence, his scouring of the papers, and his interest in “literary shortcomings.” That’s what it’s all about, the mood, the ambient essence, that makes you sink back into the velvet-lined arm-chair at 221b Baker Street with a “long sigh of satisfaction.” —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton University Orchestra Presents Concerto Competition Winners

Princeton Ballet School
@princetonballetschool
he Princeton University Music Department is understandably proud of the depth of talent within its “Orchestra family.” In these days when student activism often leads to political change, the University Orchestra staged a “Student Takeover” this past weekend by featuring an undergraduate conductor and graduate student composer, as well as two student instrumental soloists, in a pair of concerts at Richardson Auditorium. Friday night’s performance (the concert was repeated Saturday night) included two high-spirited concerti, a contemporary work by a University graduate student, and an opera overture conducted by a University senior. Each of the four works on Friday night’s program was equally significant in showcasing the University’s talented musicians. Senior Reilly Bova, a conductor as well as principal timpanist for the University Orchestra, led the ensemble in Carl Maria von Weber’s 1821 “Overture” to the opera Der Freischütz. Revolutionary in its roots in German folklore and orchestral effects, this “Overture” provided Bova with the opportunity to maintain firm control over the ensemble and the dramatic changes in mood. Conducting from memory, Bova brought out a gentle pastoral nature from a quintet of horns and built suspense well throughout the piece. Throughout the “Overture,” Bova demonstrated solid capabilities from the podium, showing the training from his numerous music department activities during his Princeton career. Annika Socolofsky, a Ph.D. candidate and fellow in composition at Princeton, has created a research focus for herself based on country music legend Dolly Parton. Parton’s expansive repertory of descriptive songs contains several levels of meaning from Parton’s life, and Socolofsky has found compositional inspiration and similar variety of levels in the myriad of vocal timbres she hears in Parton’s singing. Socolofsky’s 2018 one-movement Gaze, which she revised in 2019, reflected an orchestral palette built around a single pitch full of musical detail, replicating the rich colors of Parton’s melodic writing. As led by University Orchestra conductor Michael Pratt, the Orchestra well conveyed Socolofsky’s musical devices, including passages of a double string quartet accompanied by innovative percussion, and the unique sound of a percussionist bowing a xylophone with two bows to create an unusual orchestral shading. When the music called for complete chords, the chords were full of musical detail, and the piece effectively showed why Socolofsky has been commissioned by numerous performing organizations throughout the United States.
This year’s Princeton University Orchestra Concerto Competition yielded two winners featured in this past weekend’s concerts — pianist Vian Wagatsuma, remarkably only a freshman, and violinist Fumika Mizuno, a junior at the University. Rather than several instrumentalists playing single movements from multiple concerti, the Orchestra presented only these two soloists, each playing a complete concerto. Wagatsuma’s showcase piece was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s 1785 Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major. Composed a mere six years before the composer’s death, this work reflected the frenetic pace of Mozart’s life at the height of his career, yet contained the instrumental subtlety and graceful melodic lines for which Mozart is known. Accompanied by a chamber-sized orchestra, Wagatsuma began the piano solo with a fluid right hand and extended trills, which clearly took great strength of arm. She kept the piano solo light and playful, with lines always showing direction. Wagatsuma easily found a graceful flow in the music, was strong and decisive when she needed to be and executed delicate cadences. Her first movement closing cadenza was more virtuosic than the rest of the solo part to that point, setting up well the elegant “Elvira Madigan” theme of the second movement andante. Wagatsuma and the University Orchestra also kept a playful mood through the closing third movement allegro. amuel Barber’s Violin Concerto Op. 14 was composed during World War II, written while Barber was on the faculty of Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music. Violinist Fumika Mizuno already possesses extensive experience working with international conductors and at high levels of performance, and she showed solid confidence with this lyrical work. Playing with significant vibrato, Mizuno played the broad expansive melodies with ease, seemingly lost in her own world while the Orchestra ebbed and flowed around her. Conductor Pratt kept the Orchestra well under control throughout the Concerto, and Barber’s fresh and open melodies rolled through the hall. Oboe soloist Jeremy Chen opened the second movement elegantly with thematic material that was picked up by a lean and sweet sectional cello sound. Mizuno closed the Concerto well with fast and furious technique in a movement that required continuous violin playing, leaving no doubt that she, as well as the other student soloists, conductor and composer featured on this program, will have solid careers in music if they choose. —Nancy Plum

Princeton Summer Theater Announces New Director
ECLECTIC DANCE STYLES: Complexions Contemporary Ballet, led by former Alvin Ailey dancers Desmond Richardson and Dwight Rhoden, comes to the State Theatre New Jersey, 15 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, on Tuesday, March 31 with a program titled “Bach to Bowie.” Tickets are $19-$49. Visit STNJ.org. The 7 p.m. pre-concert through the South by bus to Curtis Institute Alumni Make Princeton Debuts Warm Up, free to all ticket- challenge the non-enforceViolinist Benjamin Beilman and pianist Andrew Tyson, both graduates of the Curtis Institute of Music, will perform Thursday, April 2 at 8 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus. Their program will include works by Beethoven, Britten, and Grieg. Also being performed is Frederick Rzewski’s Demons, a musical reaction to the 2016 presidential election dedicated to author/political activist Angela Davis, cocommissioned by Princeton University Concerts and presenters across the nation. Both Beilman and Tyson are Aver y Fisher Career Grant-winners. Speaking about Rzewski’s Demons, which will receive its Princeton premier, Beilman said, “What draws me in [to Rzewski’s music] is this idea that there’s someone with such strong convictions that’s able to communicate them through a fairly abstract form.

Crossroads Theatre Company Presents “Freedom Rider”
The world premiere of Freedom Rider, presented by Crossroads Theatre Company, is set for Saturday, April 11. Directed by Crossroads’ co-founder Richardo Khan, the play examines the perilous history-making jour ney of t he Freedom Riders, black and white college students who traveled
ment of federal law that ruled segregation on public buses unconstitutional. The Freedom Riders drew national attention to their cause because of the violence pointed against them as they traveled from state to state. Written by Murray Horwitz, Nathan Louis Jackson, Kathleen McGheeAnderson, Khan, and Nikkole Salter, the play runs April 9 through April 19 in the Arthur Laurents Theatre of the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC). Freedom Rider follows the journeys of four young people, each from a different university, city, and background, who set out to prove that love and compassion could conquer hate and that what was a right for one American should be a right for all Americans. Theirs was a cause worth fighting for in spite of the dangers they knew they would face along the way. The main characters are supported by a multicultural ensemble cast and choir. Khan conceived the idea for the play. His role in the collaborative process was to weave the four stories together into one cohesive script. The theater is at 11 Liv-

Boheme Opera NJ will present Verdi’s Rigoletto on Friday, April 17 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m. at Kendall Main Stage Theater on the campus of The College of New Jersey, 2000 Pennington Road, Ewing. Verdi’s operas are known for their memorable tunes and the psychological complexity of their characters. He loved to portray realistic people in dramatic situations and to explore a full range of human emotion. Rigoletto premiered in Venice in 1851. It was b a s e d o n a p l ay T h e King Amus e s Hims elf by French novelist Victor Hugo. Hugo’s novels, like Les Misérables or The Hunchback of Notre Dame, carry social messages, often portraying powerful characters that oppress society’s outcasts. This play was no exception. The story contained a negative depiction of royalt y — featuring an exploitative king who seduces an innocent girl. When Verdi wanted to turn this play into an opera, censors demanded that the king in the original version be changed to a mere duke, in order to soften the story’s revolutionary message against monarchy. Despite this change, Rigoletto still raises serious questions about social justice. The production is led by Boheme artistic director Joseph Pucciatti will stage direct and conduct the production — w ith the Boheme Opera Men’s Chor us and Orchestra. The cast includes Robert Balonek, Jeremy Brauner, Dana Pundt, James Gaylon, and Devony Smith. Visit bohemeopera.com or call the TCNJ box office at (609) 771-2775 for tickets.
Pierrot Productions presents 33 Variations at Mercer Count y Communit y College’s (MCCC) Kelsey Theatre March 13-22. Written by Moisés Kaufman, author of The Laramie Project, the play is inspired by one of classical music’s most enduring riddles: Why did Beethoven, during his final years, write 33 different variations of a seemingly insignificant waltz by a minor composer? The play, which made its Broadway debut in 2009, toggles between contemporary New York and early 19th century Vienna. Modern-day music scholar Katherine Brandt is driven to explore the rationale behind Beethoven’s preoccupation with creating nearly three dozen variations of a humble waltz by a composer named Anton Diabelli. In this production, a live pianist “mirrors the variation form of Beethoven’s great work with a fugue of interwoven themes and a graceful minuet finale” as described in an Oxford University Press blog by William Kinderman, a professor of musicology at the University of Illinois, whom the playwright had visited when shaping the play. Performances are Friday and Saturday, March 13 and 14, 20, and 21 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, March 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Visit KelseyTheatre.org or call (609) 570-3333 for tickets.

In its first in a series of guest curated shows, Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) James Kerney Campus (JKC) Gallery presents a new photography exhibition by Float Photo magazine founders Dana Stirling and Yoav Friedlander entitled “The Road.” The show runs through March 27 and features photographic images of iconic Americana. The public is invited to a reception with curators, Stirling, and Friedlander on Thursday, March 12 from 5-7 p.m. with a talk at 6 p.m. at the JKC Gallery, Trenton Hall, 137 Nor th Broad Street in Trenton. The American road is a theme that winds through some of t he most wellknown works of American photographers such as Stephen Shore, Ed Ruscha, Alec Soth, and many others from the United States and abroad. Photographers have traveled through vast landscapes to document this country and all that surrounds the road: the vistas, the gas stations, the motels, the neon signs, the diners, and the people that depict America’s culture. “‘The Road’ is the first in a series of guest-curated shows at the JKC Gallery,” said Michael Chovan-Dalton, gallery director. “The show represents the largest number of artists ever presented at the JKC Gallery. By utilizing a monitor, the curators were able to represent approximately 150 artists who masterfully document America’s social and geographical landscapes through the lens of a camera.” Cu r ator s S t i r l i n g a n d Friedlander, who grew up in a small town in the Israeli desert, described the inspiration behind the exhibit and their affection for American culture. “We absorbed American culture through movies, TV shows, and pop culture,” explained the curators. “We were raised an ocean away from the American landscape — thousands of miles away from the nearest stretch of American highway — yet our perception of this country was shaped
The great American road trip represented freedom, the occasional unknown ... the great variety of landscapes — from a thick forest to an empty desert.” After moving to New York several years ago, Stirling and Friedlander began living the American visual for themselves. “We suddenly found ourselves not as outside spectators, but as participants of the visual bank that is being created every second of every day by artists all across the nation,” they said. Toget her, St irling and Friedlander founded Float Photo magazine (floatmagazine.us) in 2014 with the goal to share and celebrate the photographic work of a versatile roster of contemporary photographers from around the world. The JKC Gallery is open Tuesday and Thursday from
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or by appointment at jkcgaller y @ mccc.edu. For more information, visit www.mccc.edu/jkcgallery.

outcome, Soviet design from this period is globally largely unknown. “Everyday Soviet” explores the material culture of this period through more than 300 objects loaned from the Moscow Design Museum, including household objects, fashion, posters, and sketches of products and interiors. These objects are further juxtaposed with a selection of approximately 85 works of nonconformist or underground art of the time from the Zimmerli’s Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union, offering a holistic examination of the ways in which design and art developed concurrently. In the mid- to late-1950s, as the political climate softened and Soviet audiences were exposed to cultural movements from around the world through the First International Festival of Youth in Moscow (1957), new creative possibilities opened for both Soviet artists and designers. Additionally, two exhibitions on American Abstract Expressionism and American kitchen and household design, shown under the auspices of the American National Exhibition in Moscow Sokolniki Park that followed the Festival in 1959, left lasting impressions, inspiring in turn nonconformist art movements and product innovations. Ideas for new products and interior environments were developed in collaboration with manufacturers across the country as well as by individuals working independently. Projects were showcased in exhibitions, capturing the futuristic aesthetics and the range of artistic visions for building a modern socialist society. While the desire to realize new ideas was vast — and often supported by the state — designers faced many structural hurdles. Factories, in particular, resisted changes to their production lines, opting instead to replicate the same items for decades. Since the public was not encouraged to replace old models with new ones, and because items generally were often in very short supply, consumers acquired limited goods and maintained them for years. As a result of this unique set of circumstances, design objects were imbued with significant cultural importance. Familiar objects, some unchanged for generations, penetrated people’s consciousness and inspired both personal and communal attachment and emotion. “Everyday Soviet” features a selection of these preserved objects, including electronics, kitchenware, furniture, and wall decor, capturing a very particular moment in Soviet history. The exhibition also includes sketches and posters that highlight some of the idealized visions that were not realized in the era, including views of the office and home interiors of the future. On April 7, the Zimmerli Art museum will show the film A History of Russian Design, which was produced by the Moscow Design Museum. The film recounts the history of Russian and Soviet design from the 1920s to the present. The program will begin at 6 p.m. and is free to the public. The Zimmerli Art Museum is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New

The Watershed Academy
The Watershed Academy for High School Students are week-long environmental investigations that tackle real-world issues. Explore environmental careers alongside professors and
professionals through hands-on activities while they engage in scientific techniques and actual conservation projects. Each session is designed to invoke a sense of wonder and inquiry into the environment. High School students learn about answers to some of today’s most pressing environmental issues as they engage in field research and participate in conservation projects. These weeklong summer courses spark curiosity, instill passion and provide opportunities for students to explore research and career options. For example, during an Academy course on climate change, students channeled their energies into exploration and action. They learned about green energy and other technological advances such as soil carbon storage and emissions control from Princeton University engineers. In a September 2019 Los Angeles Times article, some of these students voiced hope after they learned about hydrogen cells that power homes and cars as well as some green architecture techniques that save water and energy. Summer 2020 will feature six Watershed Academy choices that immerse students in outdoor settings as they identify and design solutions to problems explored in the Stream Science, Climate Change, Environmental Field Science, Clean Water, Green Architecture, and Environmental Advocacy offerings. Students in the academies have an opportunity to connect with the Watershed and its partners for relevant independent studies, internships, and servicelearning credits. Scholarships and stipends are available for qualified individuals. Visit thewatershed.org/academy.

PU Women’s Hockey Rallies to 1st ECACH Title, Will Play at Northeastern in NCAA Quarterfinals
When the Princeton University women’s hockey team started the ECAC Hockey playoffs by surviving a threegame marathon against Quinnipiac, including winning a double overtime thriller in the decisive third game, it believed that experience could lead to a deep postseason run. “I don’t think they realized how hard that first series was going to be,” said Princeton head coach Cara Morey. “I think it really prepared them for the next games.” Facing a hard game in the semis on Saturday against a Clarkson team that had beaten it 2-1 on February 15, the Tigers rode a three-goal outburst in the second period to a 5-1 victory at Ithaca, N.Y. “It was surreal, hockey is interesting, you can have a ton of chances and you can feel like they just never go in the net,” said Morey, who got goals from Solveig Neunzert, Shannon Griffin, Sarah Fillier, Kate Monihan and Maggie Connors in the win with goalie Steph Neatby making 29 saves. “Then all of a sudden, pucks are finding the back of the net. They were good goals. Their goalie is excellent so we really had to make sure that she couldn’t see the puck as the shots were coming. I think that was a big factor.” The next day in the championship game against No. 1 Cornell, which was undefeat-
ed in league play and posted a pair of regular season wins over the sixth-ranked Tigers (3-1 on November 2 and 5-1 on December 6), Princeton found itself trailing 2-0 three minutes into the game. “After the second goal, I was thinking ugh, let’s just keep this respectable,” said Morey “But after we all settled in and the girls started playing, the message was hey, it is fine, there is so much hockey left. It was 2-0 with 17 minutes left in the first period and 57 minutes left in the game. We had the advantage of less pressure, we weren’t expected to win. We knew we could win but the pressure was on Cornell.” The Tigers put the pressure on the Big Red, getting goals from Fillier and Carly Bullock in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. The foes remained knotted at 2-2 and the game headed into overtime. “I felt pretty confident that we were going to win the game,” said Morey, noting that the Tigers gained momentum as the contest unfolded. “Going into overtime, I said if we are going to be here, we might as well win this thing.” Princeton ended up winning the game and its first-ever ECACH title as Mariah Keopple scored in the first minute of overtime to give the Tigers a 3-2 win before a crowd of 1,495 at Lynah Rink.
“I think that everyone was expecting them to hang their heads and proclaim defeat after the second goal went in,” said Morey. “Our girls are different, they are down two goals in the first three minutes and they are just star ting to dance. They are cheering and having fun on the bench and the momentum started to switch. They have so much grit and so much resiliency. They have won games in so many different ways now.” While the team’s big three of Fillier, Connors and Bullock came up big over the weekend, Morey got contributions throughout the lineup. “The second goal against Clarkson with Kayla Fillier to Annie McDonald to Shannon Griffin on the back door was one of the nicest goals I have seen all year,” said Morey “It was awesome to see them do it. Kate Monihan got her first goal and Solveig Neunzert scored.” Seeing the Tigers win the program’s first-ever ECACH crown was an awesome feeling for Morey. “It is unbelievable, I truly believe we have the toughest league in college hockey,” said Morey, whose team improved to 26-6-1 with the win over Cornell. “It is such an elite league and to come out as champions of that, it took me until today to process it. I woke
CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT: Princeton University women’s hockey goalie Steph Neatby turns aside a shot on recent action. Last weekend, Neatby starred as Princeton defeated Clarkson 5-1 in the ECAC Hockey semifinals on Saturday and then rallied from a 2-0 deficit to edge No. 1 Cornell 3-2 in overtime in the title game to earn the program’s first ECACH crown. The Tigers, now 26-6-1 overall, are next in action when they play at Northeastern on March 14 in an NCAA quarterfinal contest. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) up and it was, oh my god, we won the ECAC Championship. It is huge. I had no idea that Princeton had never even made it to the championship game. I looked on the trophy to see and it has been given out since 1984 so that is a bit shocking. It is such an honor to bring the cup back to Princeton. I feel like we have been on an upward trajectory for quite a few years so it is awesome to finally see us win.” Princeton will look to keep winning as it heads to Boston,
Mass. to play at No. 4 and third-seeded Northeastern (32-4-2) in the NCAA quarterfinals on March 14. “I feel they are built a lot like us, it is going to be like playing against ourselves,” said Morey. “They have a very similar lineup with some really highend for wards.

Hav ing scored a total of five goals in its last six regular season games, the Princeton University men’s hockey team needed to jump-start its offense as it played at Dartmouth last weekend in a best-of-three ECAC Hockey first round playoff series. “We were just trying to keep the puck out of the middle of the ice and the neutral zone and have smart entries,” said Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty. The 11th-seeded Tigers played smar t and tough against the sixth-seeded Big Green in the opener on Friday night. Trailing 1-0, Princeton responded with a goal by Christian O’Neill to make it 1-1. With the Tigers down 2-1 O’Neill tallied a second goal to make it 2-2 and then trailing 3-2 late in the game, Finn Evans scored for Princeton with 2:45 left in regulation to force overtime. “I thought we did a really good job of managing the puck and we were resilient,” said Fogarty. That resiliency ultimately resulted in victory as Reid Yochim found the back of the net 3:36 into overtime to give the Tigers a 4-3 win. A night later, Princeton jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the second period and had a 4-1 advantage early in the third. “We knew they would have a hard push and we came out very strong; we built the lead,” said Fogarty. But playing to keep their season alive, the Big Green responded with three goals in the final 8:08 to knot the game at 4-4 and put the foes in overtime for a second straight night.
“They came back from three down and we drew upon our experiences in the ECAC playoffs,” said Fogarty, whose team won the 2018 ECACH tournament. “Two years ago, we had two classes that were on the ice when Clarkson scored with six seconds to go in the semis. It was the same mindset going into the OT at Dartmouth. It was get back to the game plan and go from there.” Once again, Pr inceton came through in overtime as junior defenseman Mark Paolini tallied with 9:05 left in the first overtime. By eliminating the Big G reen, t he Tigers, now 6-20-5, play at top-seeded Cornell (23-2-4) in a bestof-three ECACH quarterfinal series scheduled to start on March 13 and will look to ride the momentum from the sweep. “It was a collective effort, they stepped up for each other and played well,” said Fogarty. “I am just really happy that we have a chance to move on.” Fogarty credited senior forward Jackson Cressey and sophomore goalie Jeremie Forget with producing stellar efforts against Dartmouth. “I thought Jackson Cressey played really well and really smart,” said Fogarty of the senior forward, who had a goal and two assists on the weekend. “We knew he had to be our best player on the weekend and I thought he was at least one of the best. For Jeremie, getting the two wins in goal (25 saves in game one and a career-high 46 stops in game two) and playoff experience, that was great.”
L ook ing a head to t he matchup against No. 1 Cornell, Fogarty acknowledges that the Tigers will need to be at their best to keep the season going. “It is going to be a tough series for us, we are playing a team that only has a couple of losses throughout the entire season,” said Fogarty, whose team fell 5-1 and 5-3 to the Big Red in two regular season meetings. “We have to make sure that we are paying really close attention to detail. We will have a game plan. It is college hockey, anything can happen.” Having all hands on deck last weekend helped Princeton make things happen against Dartmouth. “We had a full lineup for the first time since November and the guys were fresher on the ice and had more energy for each shift,” said Fogarty, “It is a big opponent for us to play. To have the depth that we had, you saw that the goals came from different guys. It helps when you have a full lineup that has the opportunity to contribute.” The character displayed by Princeton last weekend gives it an opportunity to stun Cornell. “It says a lot for the resiliency, those were our 10th and 11th overtime games,” said Fogarty. “Through the regular season we had a lot of switching of lineups and different line combinations with guys in and out of the lineup. A lot of games were close and we were on the wrong end of the majority of them but we knew we were doing a lot of things well and the guys stuck with it and executed the game plan.” —Bill Alden

No. 3 PU Men’s Lacrosse Defeats Rutgers 16-11, As Goalie Peters Has Another Big Day in Rivalry Erik Peters beamed as he clutched the Meistrell Cup last Saturday afternoon at the Class of 52 Stadium after the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team defeated local rival Rutgers 16-11. Princeton junior goalie Peters played a key role in helping the Tigers earn the hardware that goes to the winner of the storied rivalry, making 10 saves in the win. For Peters, the Rutgers m atchup is p ar t ic u larly memorable since he came on in relief in a 9-8 loss to the Scarlet Knights last year and has been the starter ever since. “This was the game last year where I got my first chance; every game is really big but this one was really special,” said Peters of the win which improved No. 3 Princeton to 5-0. “It is about our team moving forward. I was really proud of our guys today to come out and not play our best lacrosse but get it done. I think it speaks to our captains, our leadership, and our culture.” In the first half, Peters helped keep Princeton in the game, making eight saves as the Tigers rallied from a 4-2 deficit to go up 6-4 at intermission. “I was feeling really good, just trying to stay consistent and keep my focus,” said Peters, a 5’10, 170-pound native of Highlands Ranch, Colo. Things got a little dicey early in the second half as Rutgers scored two straight goals in the third quarter to make it 6-6 but the Tigers answered with a 6-0 run to regain momentum. “Credit to Rutgers, they are a great team,” said Peters. “They have really good offense, [Kieran] Mullins is really good. They started playing well and hitting some shots. Nothing changed for us.” Peters helped hold off the Scarlet Knights by making a point blank save with 4:30 left in regulation after Rutgers had narrowed the gap to 15-11. “I was just trying to be shot ready and make a play on it,” recalled Peters. “I was fortunate enough to make that play. Credit to our defense there, they were playing tight.” In reflecting on the win, Peters credited the defensive unit in front of him with playing a key role. “We have a bunch of really gritty guys this year,” said Peters. “Our shortstick defensive mids are awesome, we have a lot of depth there. T hey are really look ing good. They are really aggressive and play hardball lacrosse. We have George Baughan in the back, I have never seen him get beat.” With 14 college star ts under his belt now, Peters in reacting better when he does get beat. “I am really settling in now; I have made a lot of improvements, clearing wise, being comfortable having the ball,” said Peters, who is giving up 10.90 goals a game this season with a .518 save percentage. “I am getting comfortable with those runs back and forth, knowing it is part of the game and it is going to
happen. That has been a big point of emphasis for me. Before, I would get down, now it is stay flat-line the whole game.” In getting off to its sizzling start, Princeton is showing that even-keeled mentality collectively. “It was back and forth today, our team last year sometimes folded when that happened,” said Peters. “I think our team this year, we are a different group of guys. We don’t take take any setback, we always go forward. I think we expected to be here at 5-0; we knew we had a different group this year with the mindset, work ethic, and hunger all around.” Princeton head coach Matt Madalon acknowledged that his team had to overcome some sloppy play to keep moving forward. “That is a talented team; both programs wanted that win, that is an in-state rival,” said Madalon. “It is two very different schools with the same mission. I respect that program a lot. We were lucky to come away with a win. As a coaching staff, we weren’t thrilled with the first half. It wasn’t Xs and Os. It was the fundamental stuff, it was the focus and concentration. Our guys were not doing a great job. I tip my hat to Rutgers because every mistake we made, they capitalized on.” In assessing the second half surge by the Tigers, Madalon said his squad stuck to its game plan. “We didn’t say anything different, we didn’t do anything different,” maintained Madalon. “We were just playing a little more Princeton lacrosse.” Madalon likes the way Peters is playing in goal. “He is doing a good job for us,” said Madalon. “There are still a couple we would both want back but he made the big ones at the right time so I am very happy for how he played.” T he Pr inceton of fense came up big, displaying a balanced offense attack as senior star Michael Sowers
led the way with three goals and two assists in passing the 300-point mark in his career. “It is good to share the ball ; t hat is always our goal,” said Madalon, who got three goals and an assist from Alex Vardaro with Connor McCarthy tallying three goals and Chris Brown chipping in two goals and two assists. Despite Princeton’s encouraging 5-0 start, Madalon sees plenty of room for improvement. “We struggled in the clearing game, we have to clean that up,” said Madalon. “There were some self inflicted wounds; we have to go back to the drawing board and get a lot better.” With the Tigers opening Ivy League play by hosting No. 16 Penn (2-3), Madalon knows that his team will need to play better to overcome a physical Quaker squad. “We got through the first part of our season which is five out of conference games and we are sitting in a really good spot,” said Madalon. “We just have to prepare and take one game at a time like we have been to this point.” Like Peters, Madalon senses a really good chemistry to the 2020 squad. “My favorite part of this whole thing is trying to get our guys to be as tight knit a group as possible,” said Madalon. “Our seniors have helped facilitate this. We think it is a special group; we love all of our groups but we feel it too. I can’t put my finger on it yet but it is going in our favor.” Peters, for his part, believes that the Tigers will be hungry to keep things going in the right direction when they face Penn. “In the past few years we have lost to Penn; it is a huge, huge game,” said Peters. “It is the first Ivy game. We call them ticket games. We want to punch that ticket to the tournament with those Ivy games. It will be a big work week here.” —Bill Alden

Aririguzoh Leaving Special Legacy for PU Men’s Hoops But Won’t Get Shot at NCAAs as Ivy Tourney Canceled Richmond Aririguzoh came a long way in making the journey to his Senior Night last Saturday for the Princeton University men’s basketball team. Born in Italy, Aririguzoh moved to the U.S. at age 12. When he started his basketball career at Trenton Catholic Academy, he would get winded going up and down the court. Coming across the county to join the Princeton University mens basketball team, Aririguzoh was a little-used reserve in his first two seasons with the Tigers. E x p e r i e n c i n g a b r e a kthrough season as a junior last winter, forward Aririguzoh emerged as an All-Ivy League performer, averaging 12.1 points and 6.4 rebounds a game. This season, the muscular 6’9, 230-pound Aririguzoh has built on that progress, contributing 12.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per contest. Getting honored with his two classmates, former Hun School standout Jose Morales and Will Gladson, in a pregame ceremony before Princeton hosted Cornell, Aririguzoh was moved by the scene. “It was definitely emotional to see that it was my last game in Jadwin, and having people from home come with my family and friends here to witness this moment,”said Aririguzoh. Aririguzoh and his teammates experienced some tough moments during the game as a late rally fell short and Cornell prevailed 85-82. “Obviously, I am a little disappointed by the loss,” said Aririguzoh, who contributed six points and 10 rebounds in the loss. “It was a good chance for me to look back at my career here and then, after tomorrow and Monday comes, all I am worried about is those next two games up in Cambridge.” Unfortunately, Aririguzoh won’t get the chance to extend his career in the NCAA tournament, as the Ivy postseason tourney at Harvard was canceled on Tuesday in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and regular season champion Yale will get the league’s automatic bid to March Madness.
With Princeton having experienced a bumpy ride this winter in going 14-13 overall and 9-5 Ivy League, co-captain Aririguzoh has relished getting the chance to set the tone for this year’s group. “You can say that my biggest jump was from my sophomore to junior year, but I think my biggest jump mentally came from junior year to this year; having to lead a team and become way more vocal than I ever thought I would be and just challenging myself to be a bastion and an example for my teammates,” said Aririguzoh. “I can never thank this program enough and coach for that chance.” Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson knew his squad was facing a challenge in his matchup with Cornell, having lost 73-62 to the Big Red on February 8. “It was a difficult loss, Cornell played great both times that we played them,” said Henderson. “We really don’t match up very well with them and that is because of who and how they play. Brian [former Princeton star and assistant coach Brian Earl] has done such a terrific job. I thought they were just great; they made shots, big shots left and right whenever we were trying to get a stop.” Trailing Cornell 75-61 with 6:45 remaining in the second half, Princeton made a big rally, going on an 18-3 run to take a 79-78 lead before the Big Red responded with a 7-3 run to earn the victory. “We have come back in some games, there is no quit in this team,” said Henderson. “We were gone and then Jaelin [Llewellyn] just made great big plays and got it to one and then an and-one for them. That proved to be the deciding basket I thought.” Sophomore guard Llewellyn had a great night, ending up with a career-high 30 points. “He was great. We wouldn’t be talking about a comeback if it weren’t for him,” said Henderson of Llewellyn, who has raised his scoring average to 15.3 points a game, the best on the Tigers. “I thought he was just terrific. I am challenging him to take
us and keep going. I thought his play the last month has been fantastic.” Llewellyn, for his part, attributed his strong play down the stretch to a greater pregame focus. “I think a lot of that had to do with preparation and preparing for games the right way and getting mentally locked in,” said Llewellyn. “I have been talking with my dad a lot about it, just preparing to do the things I know I am going to do in the games beforehand so it feels natural and comfortable when it comes to game time.” The team’s seniors have helped Llewellyn feel more comfortable in exuding leadership on the court. “They have shown us the way the whole year vocally and by example,” said Llewellyn. “It has been a really great help to me because I also have to learn to develop leadership skills. Following in the path of all of the seniors has been unreal.” In reflecting on the influence of Aririguzoh, Henderson credits him with having set a great example for both his teammates and coaches. “In my opinion, no one in the history of our program has gotten better more than Richmond,” said Henderson. “It starts with him. it has always been him. We have a terrific group but no one has ever put more into a program for us than him. I also think about Richmond being happy a lot. He is just a first class human being and he makes me want to be a better person and coach. We are really lucky here and fortunate to get to know him.” Although Aririguzoh won’t get a shot at the NCAA tournament, he has left a legacy that will live on past this season. “It is wonderful to see that I have been able to leave a mark and that it goes beyond basketball,” said Aririguzoh. “I can’t put it in too many words to describe it but it is definitely a great feeling knowing that the people around you generally respect you and admire you personally.” —Bill Alden

PHS Standouts Excel in Girls’ State Wrestling, Ayres Repeats as Champion, Rose 2nd at 100 Chloe Ayres and Ava Rose gave the Princeton High wrestling team a pair of aces in the finals of NJSIAA girls’ wrestling championships in Atlantic City last weekend. Ayres, a junior, repeated as champion at 107 pounds in a close bout while Rose, a freshman, took second at 100 to a two-time champion Sydney Petzinger of Parsippany in her first trip to states Saturday. “Anyone taking two girls or two boys to the state tour nament and placing that high, it would be tremendous for any program,” said PHS head coach Jess Monzo. “We’re just looking to grow our program and grow our numbers, so having two girls have success always helps. At the same time, hav ing girls be success ful like that kind of scares people because now, coming into a program, they’re not too sure about what their role would be.” Ayres and Rose are happy to be ambassadors for others to join the team. Both have shown how far a comm it ted w rest ler can go. Ayres, whose parents helped to make the girls state championships a reality last year, returned and defended her title. “It was super exciting to be able to get a second title,” said Ayres. “I was thankful to be chasing that this year. Going into the tournament, my expectations were a little
bit different. There were a lot of girls there this year, it grew a lot from last year. It was really cool to see the amount it’s changed in just one year. I think the level of wrestling went up a lot in just one year at a lot of different weights. It’s definitely an honor to be able to say I was able to take a state title again.” In ear ning her second straight title, Ayres did not have an easy time. She got a stalling point and an escape in the third period to knock off Izabella Frezzo of Becton Regional, 4-2, in her semifinal bout. “I think the lights got me a little bit in that match,” said Ayres. “She’s definitely a tough competitor and I was honored to be able to compete with her. I thought she put up a really good match. I was a little sloppy in the beginning. I took a while to get to my attacks. That was a bit of a wake-up call before the finals that I needed to start getting to my attacks earlier rather than waiting. It was closer than I wanted, but I think I stayed pretty controlled during the match.” In the final, it was even tougher. Ayres took on Johnae Drumright of Trenton for a fifth time in her career and the third time this season. The two are close friends who train together in the offseason and have even traveled together to the Fargo, N.D. national tournament. Each match this sea-

son has gotten tighter, and the state final was the closest with Ayres coming back and then holding off Drumright for a 4-3 win. “She had a great game plan with her coach and she executed it super well,” said Ayres. “I think we put on an exciting match for the crowd. I love to see that and I think it was pretty exciting. I was honored to be able to compete with her in the last match of the night. It was a super cool opportunity we had together. It sort of sucks that only one person gets to come out on top because Johnae is a very talented wrestler and we’re really close. It’s hard to be friends off the mat and to be so competitive in such a high pressure environment.” Ayres finished her year 2212 overall; including a 14-12 record in varsity matches against boys, and a perfect 8-0 mark against girls. “Chloe is one of a kind,” said Monzo. “She’s a very special girl. She knew she had a target on her back from the very beginning of the season. She’s the defending state champ, and her father [Princeton University head coach Chris Ayres] is a high level Division I college coach so a lot of people are expecting her to do great things, as was I. But at the same time, it is extremely hard. I told her, you’re defending a state title. Just to win a state title is hard, but

GIRLS’ WEEKEND: Princeton High wrestler Chloe Ayres controls a foe in a match last season. Last Saturday, junior Ayres won the 107-pound weight class in the NJSIAA girls’ wrestling championships in Atlantic City to earn her second straight state crown. PHS freshman Ava Rose took second at 100 at the competition. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) to defend one when everyone knows who you are and everyone knows the name Chloe Ayres, you have a big target on your back and it’s going to be twice as hard to not only attain that title but to defend it.” Ayres never backed down from the pressure of being a returning champion, working hard to remain at the top of her class. “I definitely felt a target on my back, but I think that can be looked at as a good thing,” said Ayres. “I worked a lot in the offseason and I think it’s cool that people are starting to recognize my name from last year and the accolades that I’ve picked up. I definitely think people were coming after me a little bit and so in some of my matches it was a little bit tougher because it was harder to get girls to open up because they were trying to hold on for a win. It was super exciting. I felt like I got some really tough competition. I’m really happy that a lot of girls were working hard to give me a good match.” While Ayres spent this season defending her titlewinning ways, Rose was building hers up. This year, she established herself as a rising force, and a great year has opened her eyes to being even stronger. “I feel like this was a super good year for me,” said Rose. “I definitely like wrestling a ton better now. When you put so much effort into something for a long period of time, you’re going to like it better. Also, the team was super nice. I like everyone on the team. At first, I felt like I wasn’t getting better, but I feel like I definitely have gotten better. It draws you after practice to think, I can do a little bit more. So I kept wanting to do more. Now I want to do more so that’s what I’m doing in the offseason.” Overall, Rose posted a 30-3 record this winter, going 2-0 on the varsity versus boys, 15-2 against girls, and 13-1 against JV boys. “Ava impressed a lot of teams,” said Monzo. “She impressed a lot of coaches. You don’t see that kind of success for a first-year girl. She’s wrestling against boys at 106 and she only weighs about 102 or 103. She’s a little light.” Rose was impressive at states to make the finals. She pinned Isabella Santos of Elizabeth in 1:18 in the semis to earn her first cham-
pionship shot. She made it through two periods before falling to Petzinger. “I thought that I would get in, but I didn’t think I’d get so far,” said Rose. “Most of it was winning regions, which was a big thing for me. It was really exciting, but also a lot of new pressure that I wasn’t used to.” Capturing the South Region title to earn a spot in the finals, Rose kept her cool as she competed in front of the bigger crowd on the big stage at Atlantic City. “She’s very calm,” said Ayres. “She was not very nervous, or at least it didn’t seem to me, before the finals. She’s very collected and thoughtful. She’s a little more quiet, but she’s great. She was really excited about the tournament and just to be there. I was honored to be able to guide her and show her the ins and outs of the tournament in her first year. Clearly she has nothing but bright things coming to her. She’s working hard and she has a bright future ahead.” T h e f re s h m a n s t ar te d w restling t wo years ago with the Princeton Wrestling Club. She had shown interest when she was younger, often warming up with the club’s wrestlers when her older brother went, but it wasn’t until middle school when she had to add a second sport to her plate that she found wrestling. She found the same camaraderie that drew her in this year at the high school level on a little milder level in middle school. “I really liked it,” said Rose. “I really liked the team. I was friends with all the guys on it. It was like a whole new experience. It’s a group of people where you’re always practicing together and always putting in a lot of work together and so it builds friendships really easily.” As Rose spent this winter adjusting to the demands of high school wrestling, it helped her having Ayres to lean on. “She’s really responsible and knows a lot,” said Rose. “I don’t know a lot about girls wrestling. Also, she’s always on top of things. It’s nice to have someone like that so you know what you’re doing. It’s nice to have because we’re always supporting each other since we’re the only girls on the team.” Taking on a wide range of opponents, Rose found her hard work paying off. She is
motivated by the successes and the challenges that she had this season as she looks to the future. “A lot of the matches I had were junior varsity matches so not a lot of experienced people,” said Rose. “I know that I won a lot, and I’m happy with my record, but I still have three people that beat me so there’s something to work towards so I can beat them next time. I always write down all the people that beat me on my phone so I can remember their names because I’m really forgetful. I’ll work toward beating them next time.” Going forward, Rose has a plan that includes a busier offseason. Two days after the state final, she was back in the weight room on Monday morning. “I’m going to try to do a lot more tournaments in the offseason, bigger ones so I can experience the pressure so I don’t choke up as much,” said Rose. “Then I also want to do a lot of offseason training. I really want to get a lot better so I want to put in a lot of work with it.” Rose and Ayres aren’t alone in their offseason com m it ment. T he ot her state championships qualifier from PHS, junior James Romaine (152 pounds), is also getting back to work after his first trip to Atlantic City. Over the weekend at the boys’ championships, Romaine won one match, 10 - 4, over Zach Kitchell and lost to David DiPietro and Anthony Romaniello on decisions. “He left everything on the mat in all three matches he wrestled,” said Monzo of Romaine. “There’s not one ounce of me that’s disappointed with James. I’m super happy with what he did. He’s another one that is already talking about how he is going to improve for next year and where he’s going to go and when he’s going to start.” PHS is looking for all three to return to Atlantic City next year and the trio has wasted no time in resuming their training after strong showings in the state championships. “They’re life wrestlers ; all three of these individuals that made it to the state tournament,” said Monzo. “They want to wrestle at the next level and they’re making adjustments for next year and for years to come.” —Justin Feil
Winning eight of its last 10 regular season games, the Princeton High boys’ basketball team was primed for a big postseason run. Hosting 10th-seeded Trenton in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament on February 19, seventh-seeded PHS got off to a good start, racing past the Tornadoes 69-41. “That was great, we hadn’t beat them in a very long time; we beat them twice this year and that is saying a lot,” said PHS head coach Pat Noone. “It was a rough first quarter but the team really hung in there. We started hitting shots and we really defended well against them and stopped them in transition so that was really good. We hit a lot of shots that game, that was good to see. That was a big momentum builder for us.” Unfortunately, the Tigers didn’t hit shots in the MCT quarters two days later, falling 46-29 at second-seeded Robbinsville. “Our offense really struggled in that game,” said Noone. “It was a pretty big moment for us, there was a lot of emotion. I don’t think we handled our emotions well in that game. We missed some shots that went in and out early against them and
the panic kind of set in. It seemed like we forced stuff instead of letting things go like how we were earlier in the season.” Playing at eighth-seeded Manalapan in the first round of the Group 4 Central Jersey sectional on March 3, ninth-seeded PHS looked to bounce back from the loss to the Ravens. “We had a real good mindset, we felt like we didn’t put our best foot forward against Robbinsville and you never want to go out like that,” said Noone. “I think we were really hungry going into that game.” While the Tigers lost 60-54 in overtime, the squad played a good game as it ended the season with a 13-12 record. “We did a really good job defensively in the first half; they were scoring a lot of points and they only scored 26 in the first half, which is pretty good, and 49 through four quarters,” said Noone, who got 20 points from senior star Gefen Bar-Cohen in the loss with senior guard Jack Suozzi chipping in 14 points and junior standout Ethan Guy adding 13. “Our defense really did well and then we started hitting shoots. Suozzi hit a three here and Gefen hit a three there. We got rolling. It was the foul shots that
killed us, we were 10-of-20 from the free throw line and we didn’t score well in OT.” Reflecting on the season overall, Noone was proud of what the team accomplished even though it didn’t go as far in postseason action as it had hoped. “You fall short of what you want to do, you want to get to the arena in the county tournament and you want to win a state game and you lose in overtime so we were very close,” said Noone, noting that PHS posted wins over such formidable foes as Nottingham, Montgomery, Robbinsville, Trenton, and Hamilton during its late surge. “Overall, it was a great
season, especially since we started 0-3 and we were 4-8 at one point.” Noone credited his senior group of Bar-Cohen, Suozzi, Judd Petrone, Riley McMahon, Ben Moyer, Matt Rinaldi, and Brian Frost with making a big impact. “It has been a great class; this is my fourth year here so this is the first class where we came in together,” said Noone. “These guys only know me; they grew with us and then you get to reap those benefits of having the first winning season in a while. We have been awfully close, we were one game below .500 last year and in my first year we were one game below then we finally got over the hump this year. That was really positive.” Each of the seniors made
a positive contribution over the course of the winter. “Gefen has been unbelievable; he is going on to play college basketball and his improvement has been great,” said Noone of BarCohen, who has committed to attend Kenyon College and play for its Division III men’s hoops program. “Suozzi star ted hitting shots halfway through the year. When he hit shots that gave us a fourth option and that is when we got rolling. Judd stepped up huge this year. Riley has been with us the whole time. Moyer began starting halfway through the year and when he became a starter, we took off. He had a knack of always being around the ball. He was the guy that would take away their best offensive player. Rinaldi and Frost were great
supporting guys.” With a returning cast featuring junior standouts Guy and Tim Evidente, PHS has the potential to keep rolling. “Ethan and Timmy are very good players, they have been awesome,” said Noone. “We are going to miss the seniors because of how good a group they have been but with those two coming back, we should be good. We have got two sophomores in Jaxon Petrone and Connor McDowell and a couple of other juniors in Zane Scott and Charles Hamit who really improved. This is another group that only knows me running the program.” —Bill Alden

Borden Perlman proudly announces Managing Partner Jeff Perlman has been named as the 27th National Junior Tennis and Learning of Trenton Gala honoree, to be held Saturday, April 4, 2020, at the Trenton Country Club.
National Junior Tennis and Learning of Trenton serves children from preschool through high school, by creating opportunities for success for under-resourced youth through innovative tennis, education, and mentoring programs designed to prepare student athletes for college admissions and career placement. Founded in 1975–with just three volunteers and 30 children–today National Junior Tennis and Learning of Trenton serves thousands of youth in the Trenton, Ewing, Lawrenceville, and Princeton communities, with outreach, education, their Ashe Elite enrichment program, and community development initiatives. Through NJTLT, over $400,000 of college scholarships have been awarded to student athletes in our local community. The cause resonates especially with Jeff, a tennis player from an early age, and a USPTA licensed tennis coach who teaches children during the summer. Since attending the NJTLT’s first gala event 27 years ago, Jeff has been proud to support the organization, and all of its efforts to mentor, educate, and create opportunities for children. Of NJTLT’s work, Jeff says, “99% of the students graduate high school and a vast majority go on to college. NJTLT is a tremendous asset to our community’s future.”
BIG BEN: Princeton High boys’ basketball player Ben Moyer looks to pass the ball in recent action. Senior guard Moyer’s hard-nosed play helped PHS advance to the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals and post a final record of 13-12.
Of Jeff’s ongoing support of the organization, Immediate Past President of the Board of Directors Albert Stark notes, “For the past 27 years, Jeff has been there, supporting the mission to instill the love of tennis and learning in under-resourced Trenton youngsters. He has been a team player, giving of his time on the tennis court and financial support required to guide youngsters from the court to college and careers.”

Showing Progress with Run to Prep A Final, Hun Girls’ Hoops Enjoyed a Positive Winter It is an oft-stated sports adage that it is hard to beat the same opponent three times in one season and the Hun School girls’ basketball team was happy to provide evidence this winter to help support that proposition. Having fallen to Lawrenceville 57-44 in a regular season meeting in late January and then losing 68-53 to the Big Red in the MAPL ( Mid-Atlantic Prep League ) semis on February 8, Hun turned the tables on its archrivals by defeating them 61-55 in the state Prep A semis on February 17. In reflecting on the win in the rubber match, Hun head coach Bill Holup pointed to defensive versatility and a quick start as factors that made a difference for the Raiders. “We continually switched our defense between man and zone; we tried to keep them off balance offensively,” said Holup. “Also that was a game where we started it out on top. The previous two times we had played them, we were playing catch up. They would score the first few baskets of the game and we just had a hard time staying with them. This time it was different.” In the third quarter of the Prep A game, Lawrenceville had trouble staying with Hun as the Raiders outscored the Big Red 15-3. “It was the defense and
also the fact that we shot better as a team than we did in the previous two ga m e s t h at we playe d them,” said Holup, who got 27 points from junior guard Izzy Lalo in the win. “ We have s om e ver y good shooters but the first two times we struggled to find any consistency. Izzy was very composed and she was able to carry us for the most part this time.” Getting redemption in round three was sweet for Hun players. “The girls were really excited about it; we didn’t think Lawrenceville was that much bet ter t han us,” added Holup. “It was just on those previous days, they beat us. This time things worked in our favor.” Things didn’t go well in the Prep A final as Hun fell 76-52 to powerhouse Blair Academy, get ting outscored 26-5 in the first quarter. “It was a rough star t overall but I was ver y proud of how the girls played,” said Holup who got 17 points, eight assists and five rebounds from post-graduate guard Enya Maguire in defeat. “Having to play at their floor in front of their crowd for a state final was certainly tough. We played a very good basketball game, we had nice backdoor cuts going. They only outscored us by three (50-47) in the last three quarters.”
W hile t he loss in t he final stung, it was still a very nice winter for Hun as it finished with an 18-7 record. “Enya missed the first eight games and the other girls stepped up,” said Holup. “We had a very talented team and not only were we talented, but we had a terrific group of players with their personality. They were just fun to be around.” Flashy point guard Maguire, a native of Belfast, Ireland, stepped up for the Raiders down the stretch. “When Enya came back from her injury, she really elevated the team in terms of their personality,” said Holup. “She just brought everyone else’s game to another level.” The team’s other seniors, Alexis English, Nicole Angelini, and Lainey Nolan, brought personality and grit. “They were a great group ; English was in jured and she didn’t play from December but she was there everyday and still supporting the rest of the ream which made it terrific,” said Holup. “Nicole was the guard that came in off the bench for us and really gives us a spark on the defensive end. She is full of energy. Lainey gave us the height that we didn’t have in the past couple of years. She was an extremely unself-
ish player. When she got the ball, she always looked for the wings that were cutting or she looked to just kick it back out if she was posting up. There were times where I thought she was too unselfish but that was the chemistry of the whole team. Ever ybody was so unselfish, they were always looking for their teammate.” With such returning players as juniors Kennedy Jardine and Lalo along with freshman Sasha Moise and sophomore Kiera Hahn, Hun is looking at some good times ahead. “Kennedy was our leading scorer and Izzy was the third leading scorer behind Enya; both of them are back and through those first eight games, they were the ones that carried us,” said Holup, noting that Jardine and Lalo served as team co-captains this winter. “It is great to have someone like Sasha who gave us quality minutes off the bench in the forward position. She was a very pleasant surprise; I thought it would take her some time to develop but she contributed right away from game one. Kiera is just one of these players who does everything. We could put Kiera guarding the guards or the forwards. She rebounds and is very physical. For two years in a row, she has led the team in charges taken. Looking at the girls that are returning with their personality as well as their mentality, we have a lot of promise for the future.” —Bill Alden

EARLY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES
Trees and shrubs sleep in winter and so do the parasites. Horticultural oil application now, is safe for the environment and prevents overwintering pests from attacking your trees and shrubs in the spring. The application of horticultural oil on woody plants to control a large variety of pests is not a new practice, but it is one that has not been widely used. With increasing public awareness to reduce chemical pesticide use, refined horticultural oils provide a safer and more environmentally friendly method of pest management. Oils are effective against a wide range of eggs and immature insects, including Scale, Mealybugs, Aphids, Canker wor m s, Ad elg i d s, Webworms, White flies and Beetle larvae. They degrade quickly following application, are non-toxic to humans and wildlife and fit very nicely into a plant health care (PHC) program.
