Immigration Experts Speak on Local Policy, Community Initiatives

With immigration proposals failing in Congress last week and two separate federal courts having blocked President Trump from ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), federal efforts to resolve immigration issues may remain bogged down, but local organizations and individuals are taking action. Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh, Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter, and local activist and Mercer County Fair and Welcoming Coalition (FWC) leader Fatima Mughal spoke to a group of about 50 concerned citizens at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Monday night in a presentation on “Supporting Immigrants in the Trump Era: Local and State Policy Initiatives,” sponsored by Indivisible Princeton. Focusing on the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice (NJAIJ) initiative to get driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants, Abizadeh urged support of the New Jersey Safe and Responsible Driver Act, Legislative Bill 1738, which would allow driver’s licenses for New Jersey residents who cannot prove lawful presence in the United States. With seven sponsors, led by Assemblywoman Annette Quijano, and 10 cosponsors, the bill, which has bipartisan support, would serve both undocumented immigrants and others who have difficulty accessing necessary documents. It would, Abizadeh pointed out, create safer roads, with all required to take the driver’s test, as well as providing an economic boost to the insurance industry, the possibility of reduced insurance premiums, and significant overall economic benefits to the state. Abizadeh added that Governor Phil Murphy supports this bill, and “we have a strong chance of seeing these licenses in the state before the end of the year. We need Republicans and Democrats to pass this.” Claiming ”20 years on the front lines on the issue,” Sutter spoke about the history and rationale for Princeton Police Department (PPD) policies and procedures concerning immigrants. “It’s about mission,” he said, emphasizing the importance of establishing trust and belief in their legitimacy in the community. He read the PPD mission statement, which is posted on the Continued on Page 16

Schools Step Up Security After Parkland Shootings Since the tragic murder of 17 people at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida last week, area public and private schools have had to reconsider how to best provide a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff. Based on security audits last month, several changes had already been put in place throughout the Princeton Public Schools (PPS). But the Parkland shootings, and a recent incident in which a former student entered and later left the Princeton High School building, prompted more changes be made. From now on, according to a letter sent to parents last week by PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane, all doors at the high school are locked during arrival times and during the school day. Students are able to enter through the tower entrance or the entrance by the Performing Arts Center. Security personnel monitor both entrances, and parents and other visitors are admitted only through the tower entrance and have to sign in. At the elementary schools and John Witherspoon Middle School, students can only arrive through the main entrances,

which are monitored by staff. Enhanced public address systems and security cameras have also been recommended. “Please note that security is also an important component of the proposed facilities referendum,” Cochrane wrote. “We plan to add new entryways to all six of our buildings that will be warm, welcoming, and secure.” West Windsor-Plainsboro Schools superintendent David M. Aderhold sent a similar letter to parents of students in that

district following the Parkland shootings. Noting that the schools have a strong partnership with the West Windsor and Plainsboro police departments, Aderhold said, “District officials have ongoing discussions with local law enforcement and emergency management officials to review and revise safety plans and protocols. Evacuation, lockdown, and active shooter drills are conducted monthly.” Aderhold said lockdown door Continued on Page 8

New University Installation Will Grapple With Mixed Legacy of Woodrow Wilson A new installation by Walter Hood has been commissioned by Princeton University to be placed on the plaza beside the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (WWS) — a step forward in the University’s ongoing struggles with the tarnished legacy of Woodrow Wilson. The work will be one of the results of the recommendations of a Princeton University trustee committee that proposed a permanent marker at WWS “to educate

the campus community and others about the positive and negative dimensions of Wilson’s legacy.” The University announced on April 4, 2016 that it would not change the name of the WWS or of the residential college which also bears the name of the 28th president of the United States and the University’s 13th president, despite protests and demands condemning Wilson’s record of racist policies and actions. The trustees committee, however, also called Continued on Page 15

While PCH did pay for the emergency housing of residents through February 9, funding from that date has come from private donors via the Princeton Area Community Foundation, and from an emergency fund administered by the municipality.

Princeton Friends School Festivities Celebrate Chinese Culture, New Year

Skits and other presentations by students in pre-K through eighth grade, traditional music performed by the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s string ensemble, a master craftsman demonstrating the traditional art of Chinese paper cutting, a

Kung Fu martial artist, and representatives from Peace Ever International TV, affiliated with the United Nations community, were all part of Princeton Friends Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (PFS) annual Chinese New Year celebrations, held Tuesday, the fifth day of the 16 days of traditional New Year festivities.

from elementary and middle school students and their families from China, who are seeking to experience U.S. education. A number of PFS alumni have built upon the foundation provided by Mandarin instruction in their elementary years to continue Chinese language study in high school and college, many spending semesters and more in China and pursuing careers that involve their bilingual skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once a year PFS shows its respect for the Chinese â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love how we do the Chi- culture by holding a whole nese New Year celebration,â&#x20AC;? school celebration on the said seventh-grader Nikki Continued on Next Page Saffar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It lets the Chinese students show what they are learning and their interest in Chinese culture. The celebration brings some of the Chinese culture to our society and lets us know some history and culture of China.â&#x20AC;? Eighth-grader Noah Hinsdale added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chinese New Year at PFS is very amazing because you get to see all different age groups perform Chinese skits, songs, and speeches. It is very important for everyone to know and understand Chinese culture and to really experience all of the traditions.â&#x20AC;? Interest in Chinese culture has been an important facet of the PFS experience over the past 20 years. In 1997 the school received a Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation grant to be part of a statewide initiative that launched Chinese language instruction for the first time in 11 New Jersey elementary schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I n Ch i na, prac t ic a l ly every child begins learning English in elementary school,â&#x20AC;? said PFS Head of School Jane Fremon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to prepare our students for global citizenship, we need to make more widely available the opportunity for U.S. children to learn Mandarin. And the earlier they begin, the easier it is.â&#x20AC;? T he Chinese lang uage program has been enhanced over the years, Fremon added, by an array of cultural offerings, including KungFu fan dancing, t radit ional br ush painting, and the observance of the Autumn Moon Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival in the early summer. In recent years PFS has enjoyed short-term visits

P r i n ce ton T h e olo g ic a l Seminary (PTS) has filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court against Rider University, regarding Rider’s ongoing attempt to sell Westminster Choir College. The suit says that Rider “appears to have disregarded its obligations to the Seminary and the conditions set by the original donor of the land.” That donor was Sophia Strong Taylor, who in the 1930s donated property in Princeton to Westminster Choir College. She named PTS as a steward of the gift, stipulating that the ownership of the land would shift to the Seminary “if Westminster ever ceased to operate as a choir college,” according to a press release from PTS. Taylor Hall on the Westminster campus is named for Taylor, who underwrote the purchase of the original Princeton acreage and the construction of its first four buildings. Westminster merged with R ider, which is in L awrenceville, in 1992. The merger s aved t he choir college, then in a financial crisis. But last year, Rider announced plans to sell Westminster in order to stem its own looming deficit. The name of the buyer, said to be a Chinese for-profit company, has not been revealed. At the time of the merger, “at Westminster’s request, the Seminary then entered into legal agreements that enabled the merger, with t h e u n d e r s t a n d i n g t h at

Rider would ser ve Westminster’s mission,” the PTS statement reads. “Rider has not honored the substance of various interinstitutional agreements, which were intended to protect Mrs. Taylor’s wishes.” P TS president Craig Barnes said the Seminary h a s m a d e r e p e ate d attempts to engage Rider on issues of the proposed sale, “but we have been kept at arm’s length,” he said. “We don’t take this legal action lightly, but we have had no choice but to task the court to intervene. We are hopeful that this matter will come to resolution quickly and fairly, in a manner that honors our institutional agreements and preserves Mrs. Taylor’s wishes.” S p e a k i n g Tu e s d ay o n behalf of Rider, Kristine Brown, assistant vice president of University Marketing and Communications, said, “Rider University is aware of the lawsuit filed today by the Princeton Theological Seminary in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County, Chancery Division. We have been in conversations with the Seminary for approximately a year in regards to their note and mortgage on the Westminster property. We are disappointed they felt the need to file suit at this time, which we believe to be premature. Rider’s main focus has been to find an entity to continue running Westminster in Princeton. It has been our intention when we achieved that goal to re-

turn to discussions with the Seminary to address its demand for a share of the net proceeds, to the extent there are any. Rider has supported and sustained Westminster Choir College since 1991, when the Seminary declined to do so. Rider will not allow this lawsuit to derail its efforts to find a new partner to continue running Westminster.” —Anne Levin

The panelists include Dr. Robert Rivers ’53, the first African American member elected to Princeton University’s Board of Trustees ; Rober t Durkee ’69, Princeton University vice president; and Lieutenant Colonel Kevin McKiernan, Princeton University director of the Army Officer Education Program. Moderated by Sara Logue, assistant University archivist for public services, the panelists will offer first-hand insight into the impact of war on education and college campuses, specifically Princeton University. The event is free and open to the public. Rivers, who grew up in Princeton, saw the first African American students attend Princeton University as part of the Navy’s V-12 program during World War II. In 1946, the Princeton Summer Camp was reopened after the war and was integrated for the first time. Rivers was one of the first African American campers and later said of the experience that it was “a defining moment …. I began to think seriously about personal possibilities at Princeton University.” After graduating from Princeton in 1953, Rivers attended Harvard Medical School and has had a distinguished career as a vascular surgeon.

By dining at local restaurants including Eno Terra, Two S e ve n s, C h a m b e r s Walk, Teresa Caffe, Mediterra, the Yankee Doodle Tap Room, Trenton Social, and Amalfi’s, among others, patrons can help support the program since 10 percent of bills or more are donated to Meals on Wheels. The schedule runs March 4-31, with different restaurants participating in different weeks. T he annual March for Meals commemorates the day in March, 1972, when President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act of 1965 and established a national nutrition program for seniors 60 and older. Since 2002, Meals on Wheels programs from across the country have joined forces for the annual awareness campaign to celebrate the public-private partnership and obtain the support needed to fill the gap between the seniors served and those still in need.

In addition to being vice president and secretary of the University, Durkee serves or has served on a number of boards and committees, including the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and the Public Affairs Committee of the Association of American University. McKiernan began his militar y career when he entered the Army in 1994 as an enlisted military intelligence signal interceptor. As a captain, he served as the Assistant S3 deploying in support of operations in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Colombia, and Kuwait. He was deployed to Qatar and was responsible for coordinating Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance support for Army ground units in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among his many awards and declarations are a Bronze Star and a Defense Meritorious Service Medal. This event is part of Mudd Library’s year-long exhibition, “Learning to Fight, Fighting to Learn: Education in Times of War.” The exhibition, which runs through June, examines and explores this topic through archival documents, photography, and war memorabilia, spanning over 200 years. On display are such items as materials on the Council on Books in Wartime, the Vietnam War Student Mobilization Committee, correspondence on the development of the atomic bomb, the G.I. bill’s impact on campus life, and much more

magnets, cameras, and intercom system upgrades have been recently made, but further enhancements will be presented to the Board of Education during the budget process. The East Brunswick Public S chools d is t r ic t has taken the threat especially seriously, stationing armed guards in all of its schools, where security officers have already been in place. In South Brunswick, a joint statement in response to the Florida shootings was

made last week by the chief of police, superintendent of schools, and township manager saying an “enhanced police presence” was being put into place. Some local private schools also responded to the tragedy. The Hun School declined to provide specific details of security practices, but issued a statement saying safety and secur it y procedures are regularly reviewed. “We work with local officials to ensure that best practices are in place on an ongoing basis,” said Communications Director Maureen E. Leming. “And, naturally, af-

ter a tragedy like the one in Florida, we will learn all that we can from it.” While the Lawrenceville School has not made specific changes in response to the Parkland tragedy, the school provides 24/7 security patrols by a staff of trained personnel including former police officers. “We practice monthly lockdown and fire drills, and run tests of our rapid communication system on a regular basis,” according to a statement. “We have security cameras in a number of sensitive spots around campus.

other schools to share information on best practices.” Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, whose daughter is a sophomore at Pr inceton High School, said she wants not just students, but everyone in the community “to be able to not live in fear. To be a community you need to be able to get out and about, and it’s not just school. The prevalence of military-style guns in our country is making those normal daily activities less and less safe. The long-term solution needs to be reforming our crazy, nonsensical gun laws, and the students who are survivors in Florida have been so eloquent on this point. It’s important that we listen to them.” —Anne Levin

Mercer Master Gardeners Present Lecture on Water

D & R Greenway Land Trust, in partnership with Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County, presents a lecture, “Water, Water Everywhere and not a Drop to Waste: Water Features in the Home Landscape,” on Thursday, February 22, 7 p.m. at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place, Princeton. The guest speaker will be John Black, president of the Native Plant Society of New Jersey. Admission is free, but preregistration is urged. RSVP at (609) 924-4646 or rsvp@ drgreenway.org. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. “There is nothing more calming and soothing than the sound of running water,” says John Black, president of the New Jersey Native Plant Society and Master Naturalist, as well as a Certified Interpretive Guide. “W hether from babbling brook or gentle waterfall, our brains are hardwired to be drawn to the sound. From birdbaths to focal point of your yard, a water feature can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be. In my presentation, I will go through the different types of ponds/water features and why you should consider installing one in your garden/ yard.” The lecture will focus on how to design and install water features in the home garden, from rain gardens to ponds and everything in

between. John Black will discuss site consideration, the types of water features, construction techniques and materials, and the reasons why homeowners should include them in their yards. Black has volunteered extensively with the Bureau of Land Management in the desert southwest, has served as a member of the Board of Directors for Atlantic Audubon, and worked extensively with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service doing community outreach and reconnecting people with nature. “With what we go over, you will be able to create your own little oasis from the hustle and bustle of life right in your own yard,” he says. “When outside in nature, the sound of a babbling bro ok i s a lw ays s o ot h i ng,” s ays L i nda Me ad, D &R Greenway president and CEO. “I have a small manmade pond in my own backyard, surrounded by a native plant garden. It is my favorite place to relax after a busy work week. I can’t wait to learn more about how I can enhance this habitat to draw more butterflies and birds!” We are delighted to share John Black’s passion for native plants, water, sustainability and habitat for beneficial insects such as dragonflies,” says Ann Vaurio, co-chair, Community Education Commit tee of Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County. “This program supports our mission to educate the public about responsible gardening practices, including avoiding runoff and the wise use of water in the landscape.

Changes in Municipal Staff From Different Departments At the most recent meeting of Princeton Council on February 12, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new animal control officer was introduced. James Ferry, who started the job early this month, is just one of the people newly hired to join the municipal staff in recent months. Change is also afoot in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices of engineering, planning, and public works. Longtime Planning Director Lee Solow announced early this month that he will retire in April. Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton has a new assistant. And the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arborist Lorraine Konopka has left her post. A replacement is scheduled to be announced this week. Fer r y, who prev iously served with Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad and as a dispatcher with the Princeton Police Department, spent the past few months training for the animal control position. He replaces Nate Barson, who was suspended without pay after being arrested one year ago in Solebury, Pa., on charges of child sexual assault. Since Barsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure,

the municipality has been assisted by Montgomer y Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animal control officer, who will continue to provide backup, Ferry told the Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a lot of work to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live far away, so whenever thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a need for me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there pretty quickly, at all times of night.â&#x20AC;? Solow, who has overseen Princeton planning projects for the past 23 years, said he plans to do some traveling with his wife after he leaves the department April 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The timing just seemed right,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good run. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all good memories.â&#x20AC;? Tejai Patel is the new assistant to Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton. Before taking over from longtime Municipal Engineer Robert Kiser in June 2016, Stockton was in the assistantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position herself. Patel comes to Princeton from Camden County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a senior highway engineer there for about five years and was very successful in what she did. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very excited to have her now

in Princeton,â&#x20AC;? said Stockton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing design management oversight of our capital improvements program, which is typically about $6 million a year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cradle to grave project management.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Anne Levin

CSA Sign Up Day Promoted By Agriculture Secretary

New Jersey State Department of Agriculture Secretary Douglas Fisher will announce that now is a good time to sign up for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) on National CSA Sign Up Day with a visit to Appelget Farm in West Windsor on Friday, February 23. A CSA allows for customers to pay for a seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of produce, meat, eggs, or other specialty products in advance. That provides farmers with working capital so they can to prepare for the growing season and the CSA member receives locally produced goods throughout the harvest season. According to Small Farm Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSA Farming Annual Report, the most popular time to join a CSA each year is at the end of February. To promote this important time for farmers, CSA Sign Up Day was coined, and each year it falls on the last Friday in February. Appelget Farm is owned and operated by Kevin and Lori Appelget on 10 acres in West Windsor in Mercer County. Appelget Farm has a CSA program and is a member of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey. Kevin Appelget is the fourth generation of his family to farm the fields on Conover Road, continuing the family tradition. Among the products sold at Appelget Farm are beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cauliflower, collard greens, cucumbers, eggplant, fennel, green beans, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, okra, onions, peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, shallots, spinach, squash, Swiss chard, tomatoes, and watermelon. CSA Sign Up Day will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 23 at Appelget Farm at 135 Conover Road, West Windsor.

Suggesting Board of Education Reconsider Plan to Create New Classroom Environment

To the Editor: The Princeton Board of Education Facilities Referendum is actually a vote on open plan buildings that drastically changes how students will be taught. The changes will especially affect students with learning issues, psychiatric problems, and with attention deficit disorder.

school has closed classrooms. In the past week, I spoke to staff and students. They said that open classrooms were extremely unpopular. It was very difficult for most students and teachers to hear and focus. There was enough clamoring that they put up walls wherever they could. One example: A math teacher had a great deal of difficulty holding her students’ attention, especially while the health teacher nearby was teaching sex education. When our three children attended schools in Princeton, I attended school board meetings regularly. I was often upset by the process by which decisions were made without appropriate professional oversight. Too often, the taxpayers paid for projects poorly planned and administered. I recommend that the Princeton Board of Education reconsider their plan to create a new classroom environment for our students, which is likely to have negative results. I am also concerned that more people will move out of Princeton as our property taxes increase yet again. DR. NAOMI VIlKO White Oak Drive

That was a pretty bold message in 1970, just one year after Princeton University first accepted female students. Stuart was way ahead of its time then, and continues to educate and inspire girls from pre-K through 12 to catapult past their peers. Registration for their lead like A Girl conference “sold out” within 24 hours, with 1,100 attendees and a waiting list of 400 more. I’m all in favor of open classrooms in the Princeton Public Schools. It was the reason why I had the great privilege of attending Stuart for those three years, and that experience transformed me as a person, as a girl, and as a woman. I have no doubt that implementing the open classroom experiment again will give many more young girls the opportunity to experience the finest education that this town has to offer — at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. BARBARA J. ClARKE Balcort Drive

“Failed Experiment” With Open Classroom Policy Opened Door to Stuart for Princeton Student

To the Editor: This is embarrassing. The February 7 Police Blotter informed us that local police, while responding to a panhandling and shoplifting call, then arrested the 64-year-old for having outstanding warrants for several hundred dollars. Is there no compassion in this town? 1. There should be a fund to reimburse our town stores for food shoplifted by anyone who is obviously hungry and unable to make ends meet. We’ll make the first challenge grant contribution. 2. Our town’s police should not be directed to arrest people with non-local warrants for what obviously must be some who-knows-what minor offense(s). law enforcement agents should focus on the well-being of our town and not spend time collecting trifling amounts of some other city’s budget from those who struggle to put food on the table. Adding arrests onto warrants that were already overly burdensome just exacerbates what was not a pretty situation into something desperate. Families living in poverty can’t get out from under all the stuff that keeps piling on, and it seems like opportunistic profiteering to prey on those individuals who are already in such a tight spot. That’s not what the Princeton community should be about. ElIzABETH MONROE, AlAIN KORNHAUSER Cleveland lane

To the Editor: Is it true that Princeton is going to experiment with open classrooms again? Good! More students will have the same opportunity that I was given, when open classrooms were first implemented in the early 70s. I was in fifth grade then at Witherspoon School, and my parents were alarmed at the prospect of my entering middle school where sixth, seventh, and eighth grades were going to be taught as a group, with no age divisions. With six kids at home, my parents relied on the public school system, and for the most part it served us well. However, I remember clearly the day my parents sat me down and told me they were going to take me out of public school and enroll me at Stuart. They explained that I would be there for three years, after which I would return to the public school system for high school. I distinctly remember them saying that they didn’t want me to lose three years of my education, and this was the only way they could ensure that my education would continue on track. Those three years at Stuart were the best three years of my young life, and I am grateful that my parents had the wisdom and foresight to send me there. Of course they would never have done it if the Princeton School Board had not attempted this (failed) experiment with open classrooms, so ultimately I owe my Stuart experience to the School Board at that time. Yes, I did complete three years at Stuart, and when I entered Princeton High I was academically advanced — so much so that they ran out of classes for me in my favorite subject and had to enroll me at Princeton University as a non-matriculated student. I was a good student before Stuart, and an excellent student afterwards. Not only did Stuart catapult me academically beyond my peers, but also it taught me that I could achieve anything I wanted in life, and that being a girl was irrelevant to my life choices.

Making Arrests On Non-Local Warrants Is Not What Princeton Should Be About

Positive Life-Affirming Gestures Are Haunted by Collateral Damage Caused

To the Editor: Most of us were raised to be good people, but we live in an era when it is impossible to be good. Sure, we do all the things that good people would do: drive loved ones to where they need to go, keep the house comfortable, cook dinner, navigate the workaday world, travel to fascinating places. But each one of those life-affirming gestures, try as some might to deny it, is haunted by the collateral damage it causes. It is combustion that enables every one of those actions, and the kind of combustion we do leaves behind a chemical curse, all the more potent for being invisible. Cars going by, planes flying overhead, steam rising from a chimney — the positive associations of each in the present is polluted in our minds by the dreaded portent for the future, as each person’s seemingly insignificant legacy of combustion mixes with tens of billions of others past and present in the atmosphere and oceans, creating a vast chemical and thermal imbalance over time. This is the power of collective action. It’s as if every gallon of gas we buy, and every cubic foot of natural gas delivered silently to our homes, comes with an automatic donation to the End-of-the-World-AsWe-Know-It Fund, dedicated to flooding coastal cities, promoting ecological collapse, and destabilizing weather patterns worldwide. Any intentional plot to do such damage would be considered Public Enemy No.1. How, then, are we supposed to think ourselves good people without building a wall through our brains to prevent this unintentional harm from invading our awareness? The inevitable guilt may cause some to trim their personal impact, but it seems paralyzing for most people. Better to feel outrage, at the powerful ideologues, pessimists, and political cowards who keep us trapped in a dependency on fuels that power the present by sacrificing the future. This is not freedom, when we are cheated of any positive collective response commensurate with the threat, when we remain little more than conscripts, prodded by car commercials, cultural norms, and enforced economic necessity to collectively sabotage a beloved planet and our children’s prospects. People think of climate change as an external threat, largely distant in place and time, but I feel it just as much on the inside, aware of the devil’s bargain that pollutes any good I might do day to day. There was a time when nations were free to collectively counter global threats. We should be even more willing now, proud of sacrifice, challenged to be resourceful rather than extractive, because this time around, no lives need be lost, no war fought — only a rapid disarmament in the insidious chemical war against nature, a shift in habit and technology that squeezes fossil fuels out of our lives.

for â&#x20AC;&#x153;an expanded and more vigorous commitment to diversity and inclusion at Princetonâ&#x20AC;? and a series of initiatives to contextualize Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversify campus art and iconography.â&#x20AC;? Woodrow Wilson dean and marker committee co-chair Cecilia Rouse noted that Hood is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a preeminent artist whose skill is capturing complex issues in art.â&#x20AC;? She stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The work is important because it will attempt to capture Woodrow Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both positive and negative aspects, as well as those on which reasonable people can disagree.â&#x20AC;? Further emphasizing the complexity of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biography, Rouse continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wilson is omnipresent at Princeton, so it is important that we paint a full picture of the man who had such an impact on our campus and country. In particular many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about his legacy on race, which â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even by the standards of his day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were quite regressive. If we are going to talk about his progressive policies as president of Princeton and president of the United States, it is important to also talk about his regressive actions and views.â&#x20AC;? The sculpture is titled Double Consciousness, a concept and name drawn from W.E.B. Du Boisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Souls of Black Folk (1903) in which Du Bois wrote about the African-American identity: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self through the eyes of others,â&#x20AC;? Du Bois wrote.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One ever feels his twoness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings, two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.â&#x20AC;? The installation is planned as a work of two columns with surfaces of black and white, etched with words representing the complexity of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. Hood, a recipient of the 2017 Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award, is the founder and creative director of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, California. He is also a professor of landscape architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, and lectures nationally and internationally. Hood was not available for comment on his plans for the installation. Ho o d D e s ig n S t u d ioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-w inning work has been featured in Dwell, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fast Company, Architectural Digest, Places Journal, and Landscape Architecture Magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a cultural practice committed to a diverse public realm,â&#x20AC;? states the Hood Design Studio website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From art objects to landscapes encompassing the urban field, our work is always attentive to place, people, and the idiosyncrasies that arise.â&#x20AC;? Rouse applauded the selection of Hood to create the installation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have every confidence that the design w ill meet our charge of showing the complexities of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Donald Gilpin

Immigration Experts

Princeton Human Services, and experts on immigration law. “We don’t engage in immigration enforcement,” he said. “We’re not charged with that and it would diminish our effectiveness in our community.” He added that the results of their hard work and outreach attempts to establish trust were manifested in the responses to a community survey. Issued in both English and Spanish, the survey received no responses in Spanish in 2013. Four years later, however, there were nearly 200 responses in Spanish from the Princeton community. Sutter reported that there have been two immigration ac-

tions by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in Princeton in 2018, both on the same day. The PPD gets information from federal authorities and makes it public, he said. “We’re notified by ICE, but we are not involved. We are not arresting anyone, but we’re there for public safety reasons. We also go in to assist on the social services side, to make sure that people left behind have access to Human Services, that they have the sustenance and information they need. We’re there for our community. That’s our mission.” In answering questions from the audience following the speakers’ presentations, Sutter pointed out the difference

between a judicial warrant issued by a judge and a request continued from page one from another law enforcement department website, “to proindividual to detain a person. tect the lives, property, and With a warrant, “we have no rights of all people; maintain discretion,” he said, but a dean ethical environment of mutainer is not a warrant and tual respect, trust, and digniit’s a violation of the fourth ty; foster a partnership with amendment to hold a person the community we serve; and without a warrant. improve the quality of life for “It’s not that we don’t coopall within the community.” erate,” he added. “We follow “We don’t want people to the law. We follow the attorfear us,” he said. “We want ney general’s guidelines.” to help people.” Pointing out Following Sutter’s presenthat immigration law enforcetation, Mughal updated the ment is outside their mission, group on what the FWC is Sutter said, “We’re not trained doing in various communities in it. Just like we don’t enforce throughout Mercer County. In tax laws.” He explained that conjunction with the NJAIJ the PPD policy has evolved and the ACLU, the FWC has over the past 20 years in conbeen meeting with police sultation with the community, and other public officials in the towns of Mercer County to demand transparency and fairness for immigrants in compliance with federal and state laws. Mughal will join the FWC this Thursday in Trenton to address a meeting of the Mercer County freeholders on behalf of immigrants living in the county. “We’re living in a time when nothing is normal anymore,” Mughal said. “We want to be able to do whatever we can to help our neighbors.” Meanwhile, in the last weeks leading up to the March 5 deadline when DACA is scheduled to end, 30 individuals on “The Walk to Stay Home: A Journey of Hope” continue on their 250-mile trek from New York to Washington D.C. The group, organized by the Seed Project with the support of the #Our Dream Campaign to draw attention JOURNEY OF HOPE: Thirty individuals, including 11 undocumented youth and allies, demanding to the need for Congress to a clean DREAM Act and the right to stay home, stopped in Princeton on Saturday on their 15-day take action and provide perwalk from New York to Washington, D.C. and enjoyed the hospitality of volunteers and the Princ- manency to the DACA program, stopped in Princeton eton Nassau Presbyterian Church for dinner and shelter.

Businesses Join Forces To Feed the Hungry

As part of International Networking week, BNI of Greater Mercer County is hosting a networking event with the proceeds to support One Project NJ, which provides pre-packaged meals to feed the hungry. The networking event, 3 Hours 2 Support 1 Project, will be on Tuesday, February 6, 5-8 p.m. at Mercer Oaks Golf Course, 725 Village Road West in West Windsor. More than 150 business area business professionals are expected to attend the event. The goal is to help generate funds to provide

9,125 meals over the course of a year. The goal of 9,125 meals would provide 24 people at least one meal every day for a year. At the One Project, we are simply a conduit to give back but it is the people that comprise the community who make the over 100,000 meals to low-income, struggling families a reality,” said Dave Doran, One Project board member. “It is amazing to know that we live in a place where local businesses and people are willing to come together to donate their time, money, and energy to help their neighbors in need. In 2018, we look forward to doing better and being better because we are better when we work together. Admission, food, and soft drinks are included in the ticket. Pre-ordered tickets are one for $35; 3 for $95. Cash tickets at the door are $50 each. Group tickets and sponsorships are also available. Visit www.bnimercer. com for more information.

“To See Takes Time” — Valentine’s Day Encounters With Cézanne, O’Keeffe, and the Director of “Nobody Lives Forever” About suffering they were never wrong, The old Masters …. --W.H. Auden (1907-1973) here are four artist’s statements writ large on the walls of the Princeton University Art Museum’s exhibit “The Artist Sees Differently: Modern Still Lifes from The Phillips Collection.” The first and catchiest is Cézanne’s “The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.” The most technical is Braque’s “The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstruction of an anecdotal fact, but with the constitution of a pictorial fact.” More generally philosophical is Giorgio Morandi’s “To achieve understanding, it is necessary not to see many things, but to look hard at what you do see.” In the wake of the school shootings in Florida, the truest and timeliest statement may be Georgia O’Keeffe’s: “Nobody sees a flower — really — it is so small — it takes time — we haven’t time — and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” The Human Connection When I scribbled O’Keeffe’s quote in my notebook, I didn’t think much about it, though the humanizing of perception resonated since my wife and I were in the museum on Valentine’s Day. O’Keeffe’s analogy encourages you to think beyond the objects in the paintings to the artist’s friends, lovers, models, the owners of the vases and jars, flowers and fruit: the clarinetist in the back story of Braque’s Still Life with Grapes and Clarinet (1927), the gardener in Marsden Hartley’s Gardener’s Gloves and Shears (ca. 1937), or even the cook in Stuart Davis’s Egg Beater No. 4 (1928). As I write, an email from a friend in England urges me to read Yeats’s poem “The Municipal Gallery Revisited,” where after viewing portraits of people he knew, the poet concludes “Think where man’s glory most begins and ends,/And say my glory was I had such friends.” Looking Hard If you take Giorgio Morandi’s advice and “look hard” at Cézanne’s Ginger Pot with Pomegranate and Pears (1893), what you see seems the antithesis of “still life”: the paint glitters, shimmers, sparkles, scintillates. Blame Valentine’s Day, but there’s something mellow and alluring about the benign blueness at the painting’s center that rouses thoughts of first love, calling you close, romancing you, and staying with you as you move on to other paintings. In the light of Cézanne’s statement, his is the most seductive work in the show because it’s both freshly observed and rendered. The freshness of a fluid moment shows in the disordered arrangement; the books pushed to the edge of a table jutting from one corner; the pomegranate balanced on a plate tilted at an angle on the desk under the table; a white cloth flung as if carelessly into the tableau of converging forms. The Mystery Guest Featured on the exhibit’s home page, Jean Négulesco’s dark, densely configured Still Life (1926) is the work of an artist

who became a successful Hollywood filmmaker. Born in Romania, Négulesco went to Paris, studied with Brancusi, hung out with Modigliani, came to the U.S. in 1929, sold this painting to Duncan Phillips, and headed for movieland, where his first job at Paramount was as a technical advisor for a rape scene in the film version of William Faulkner’s Sanctuary (“I did some drawings showing how the scene could be managed so as to pass the censors”). He was soon working as a second-unit director of musicals, as he explains in The Celluloid

PATTERN OF LEAVES: This 1923 oil on canvas by Georgia O’Keeffe (1887– 1986), from The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC, was acquired in 1926. © Georgia O’Keeffe Museum/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Muse: Hollywood Directors Speak (NAL 1969), “because of my painter’s pictorial sense. I arranged camera angles for all the musicals, integrating the songs rhythmically with the movement of the images.” Although he went on to direct big-budget CinemaScope productions for such stars as Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, and Fred Astaire, Négulesco’s most interesting work was done in the 1940s. The shadowrich atmosphere of muted thrillers like The Mask of Dmitrios, Three Strangers, Road House, and Nobody Lives Forever is presaged in the blunt-object density of Still Life, with its stylized prototypes of film noir decor reflecting the future director’s preference for “sombre, low-key moods.” The painting’s latent violence is suggested by the heft of objects like the purple vase in the center and the Deco bookend with its sinister shadow, a weapon waiting to be put to use like the statue of a Chinese idol

that becomes a murder weapon in Three Strangers and ends up in the domestic stilllife on the mantel of the director’s Beverly Hills mansion. Explaining his fondness for filming in black and white, Négulesco says, “It’s curious that when you see actors moving and talking in semi-darkness it’s always more exciting than seeing them plainly, because you identify with them more.” His remarks about the movie audience’s desire “to share the actor’s situation, to be a vicarious part of the action” could also apply to museum goers projecting their own

scenarios on the settings these artists have constructed and assembled in the name of what Braque calls “pictorial fact.” When News Impacts Art Later that same Valentine’s Day afternoon we heard the news from Florida. While we’d been looking at art in the sanctuary of the museum, the sanctuary of a school was being violated by a 19-yearold with a semi-automatic rifle. The front page of Saturday’s New York Times with its montage of the faces of the dead, most of them teenage kids, reminded me of Georgia O’Keeffe’s phrase “to have a friend takes time” and her painting, Pattern of Leaves (1923). In the museum moment, the immense leaf seemed striking but characteristic O’Keeffe. In the aftermath of the shootings, the burnished brown, borderline blood-red shape split down the center suggests an image of violation. In fact, it’s the

darkest work in the exhibit. On Auden’s Birthday Perhaps the best-known of museum poems is “Musée des Beaux Arts” by W.H. Auden, who was born on this day, February 21, 1907. After referring to how well the old Masters understood art’s “human position: how it takes place/While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along,” Auden cites “Breughel’s Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry, But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky, Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.” So, while we were “quite leisurely” admiring two interesting but unspectacular Picassos from 1921 and 1939, a pair of Roualt Bouquets from 1938, two Braques from 1927 and 1944, and a number of bright cheerful paintings like Milton Avery’s Milk Pitcher (1949) and Gladiolus (1940), as well as Arthur Dove’s charming Rose and Locust Stump (1943) — forsaken children were dying violently, suddenly, in Parkland, Florida. Cézanne’s Lovelights It would be presumptuous to say that Cézanne’s still life alone has qualities that transcend reality’s degradations, yet it’s the only painting I knew I had to see again before I left the museum, and when I did I found it less “still,” more shiningly alive than it was when I first stood in front of it “looking hard.” Its lights were on, its stars were out, its warmth true to the amorous sentiments of the holiday. —Stuart Mitchner On February 24 the museum presents “Landscapes Behind Cézanne,” curated by John Elderfield with Calvin Brown, associate curator of prints and drawings. Described as an “intimate exhibition,” it will be on view through May 13, Princeton its only venue. “The Artist Sees Differently,” which runs through April 29, has been organized by The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C. in collaboration with the Princeton University Art Museum. There will be a celebration of the exhibit on Saturday, February 24, beginning at 5 p.m. in 10 McCosh Hall, with a panel discussion on the theme of still life and modernism with John Elderfield, Allen R.

Every May and June for 35 years, the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie in Cad-

walader Park in Trenton has hosted an open, juried show, the “Ellarslie Open,” the most popular exhibit on its roster. Originally conceived to encourage local artists to submit their work for judging and display, the “Ellarslie Open” has grown to be one of the region’s most prestigious shows. Known for the quality of its entries, the show has attracted and displayed the work of artists from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and beyond and is a favorite of local and regional art patrons. Each March, 300 artists from the Tri-State region come to the museum to submit their paintings, drawings, fiber art, sculpture, and more in person for judging by a well-credentialed juror. A nd each spr ing,

curators Carol Hill and Carolyn Stetson refine the submission process to accommodate more and more artists and their work. This year’s innovation, designed to make the intake days run even more smoothly than in the past, is a digital pre-registration process. After the three-day submission period on March 16-18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, the juror selects more than 100 works to put together the show. Selections are announced by the end of the week, and the 400 or so works that are not accepted are returned to the artists. T h e j u r o r fo r “ E l l a r slie Open 35” is Heather Campbell Coyle, chief curator and curator of American art at the Delaware Art Museum. She is the editor and lead author of several catalogues, including Howard Pyle: American Master Rediscovered ; Fa shion, Circus, Spectacle: Photographs by Scott Heise; and John Sloan’s New York. A specialist in the art of the Ashcan School, she has also published and curated exhibitions on Leonard Baskin, Harold Edgerton, William Glackens, Gertrude Käsebier, Bruce Katsiff, and the Society of Independent Artists. Coyle lectures and researches primarily on photography, illustration, and American art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her projects for 2018 include the exhibitions “African American Ar t: Migration and Modernism”; “Danny Lyon: Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement”; and “Drawings of the Montgomery Bus Boycott: Harvey Dinnerstein and Burton Silverman.” The prospectus in digital format is available at the Ellarslie website, www.ellarslie.org.

Two Women Fall in Love, Face Intolerance in “Stop Kiss”; Theatre Intime Presents Diana Son’s Bittersweet Drama

heatre Intime, whose talented cast and production team consist entirely of Princeton University students, is presenting Stop Kiss. In this drama by Korean-American playwright and screenwriter Diana Son, whose credits include episodes of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, two 20-something women in 1990s New York gradually allow their platonic friendship to become a romantic relationship. This relationship faces levels of intolerance ranging from violent to ambivalent. When one of the women is hospitalized after the couple is assaulted, the other finds herself being blamed by the patient’s ex-boyfriend, and is forced to listen as the incident is dispassionately reported by her colleagues in the media. Nearly 20 years after its premiere, this 1998 drama remains uncomfortably relevant. Nevertheless, the heartrending scenes are leavened by warmth and humor in others. It is quite moving to watch the relationship between the two women develop; this is a credit both to the script and the thoughtful, multi-layered performances. Now a senior in the Princeton English Department with a certificate through the Theater Department, director Regina Zeng discovered the play through a scene study course taken during her freshman year, with Professor Suzanne Agins. “I loved the development of the emotional arcs of the two lead characters and how they must navigate their feelings for each other twice, both when they first become friends and after the attack,” Zeng writes in a press release. The show’s structure plays a substantial role in developing this concept. Scenes that take place before the attack alternate with sequences in which the characters contend with its aftermath. This structure underscores the tension between intolerance and love. Callie, a traffic reporter who is dissatisfied with her job, receives a visit from Sara, a woman from St. Louis. Sara is excited to have taken a position teaching third grade in the Bronx. Callie has agreed to board Sara’s cat Caesar, as Sara is “some friend of an old friend of someone I used to be friends [with].” As she waits for Sara to bring the cat, Callie receives a call from her boyfriend George, reminding her that they are due to go out with friends. George suggests that Callie bring Sara along, but Callie demurs: “what if she’s some big dud and we all have a miserable time?” Callie promises to leave soon. After Sara arrives, however, the initial conversation between the women ends with Callie offering to show Sara around the neighborhood, and to let her hang out at the apartment — to visit Caesar. The subsequent scene takes place in a hospital. We learn that Callie and Sara were attacked in a park in the West Vil-

lage, at 4:15 in the morning. Callie’s injuries are comparatively minor, but Sara has fallen into a coma. Through Callie’s conversation with Detective Cole, the officer assigned to their case, we discover that the women had been at the White Horse Tavern, and that the assailant banged Sara’s head against a building after she defiantly told him to leave them alone. When Stop Kiss opened at the Public Theater in December 1998, it was painfully topical. Two months earlier, Matthew Shepard was left to die after being attacked and tied to a fence in Laramie, Wyoming. His death, along with that of James Byrd Jr. — an African American who was murdered by white supremacists in June that same year — led to the passage and signing of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act in 2009. Shepard’s mother became an LGBTQ rights activist, establishing the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Back at the apartment, Sara tells Callie about an incident that happened after school. While walking with one of her students, Malik, from the school to a subway station, Sara had a lewd comment shouted at her by a bystander. The bystander desisted after Malik told him, “This is my teacher; watch your mouth.” Sara is embarrassed that her student had to stand up for her: “Freaking 8-year-old boy. I should be able to do that for myself.” Callie’s answering machine picks up a call from George, who demands to know where she is, and tells her that he is at a bar with two other female companions. Sara offers to leave, but Callie chooses not to go to the bar. Instead, Callie invites Sara to stay for dinner. At the hospital, Detective Cole questions Mrs. Winsley, a woman who witnessed the attack against Sara and Callie. Later,

tic partners, but the other people in their lives. When Sara’s hospitalization results in the visit from her parents, and Peter, the definition of “family” becomes a central question. Opposing answers come from the attitudes of Peter, who is hostile to Callie, and from the understanding nurse. The relationships between the characters are convincing because of the chemistry between the members of this student cast, who are as adept at using subtle body choices as they are at delivering their lines. The chemistry between Callie and Sara, while awkward at first, becomes comfortable. By contrast, the atmosphere palpably becomes edgier when George enters the apartment, or when Peter reads to Sara. Jessica Li gives a nuanced performance as Callie, permitting her character to alternate between exuberance and tentativeness. Rebecca Senatore complements this; her Sara often is more confident and centered, despite the character’s initial reticence in verbally defending herself. Katja Stroke-Adolphe is effective in her dual roles of Mrs. Winsley and the nurse. Also remarkable is Jackson Vail, who gives a steely performance as Peter. The cast is ably rounded out by Robert DeLuca as George, and Sean Toland as Detective Cole. Zeng’s staging — aided by Wendy Ho’s set, which is a triptych — accentuates the juxtaposition of comfortable intimacy against the intrusion of the outside world. At one side of the stage is a hospital bed. On the opposite side, a simple table and chair. Center stage is Callie’s cozy if cluttered apartment. In tandem with Ho’s set, the lighting by Alexandra Palocz and Ricky Feig enhances the opposing moods of the play, particularly during the climatic scene in the park. The warmth of Callie’s apartment alternates with the frigidity of the surrounding locations: a police station, a restaurant, and a hospital room. The sound design by Abby Spare further establishes the settings, particularly the noisy apartment. It is in Callie’s apartment that the friendship between the two women develops into love; it is their safe space. A park bench, on which they share their first kiss, is placed in front of Callie’s sofa. Despite the hostile assault that we know will ensue, it is exhilarating to see that together, the women have learned to make the city into their own place. It is a deft — arguably crucial — choice in staging the scene. top Kiss is a bittersweet, empathet“STOP KISS”: Performances are underway for “Stop Kiss.” Presented by Theatre Intime and ic, and at times humorous drama directed by Princeton University senior Regina Zeng, the play runs through February 24 at that rewards audiences for engaging the Hamilton Murray Theater.

Callie meets Sara’s ex-boyfriend, Peter. Awkward small talk gives way to a verbal confrontation in which Peter blames Callie for the attack, and chastises her for being unable to protect Sara, with whom he still is in love. Neither he nor Sara’s parents wanted her to leave St. Louis. Peter is determined to take care of Sara. He lovingly, if doggedly, reads to her. He clearly sees Callie as an interloper who came between Sara and the people she left behind in St. Louis. However, an observant nurse offers to teach Callie how to care for Sara. Although Stop Kiss earned Diana Son — who happens not to be gay — a GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Award, she has said that she “set out to write a romantic, not sensational female relationship and that’s the spirit with which I wrote the play …. I’m more interested in how people are alike and not different. And that expands to ethnicity, gender, etc.” Stop Kiss is specific to the LGBTQ community in that the central romantic relationship is between two women who are victims of a hate crime. However, the play also examines universal themes of love and family. What makes Callie and Sara’s relationship particularly touching is the script’s awareness of the extent to which small, subtle gestures can be as important — if not more so — than sweeping dramatic ones. A beautiful example occurs when Sara picks up an award that Callie has won but carelessly tossed on the couch. Sara tenderly dusts it off, and places it on top of the refrigerator, where it is visible. Equally universal is the play’s examination of the complications that arise when a relationship affects not only the roman-

The feature-length documentary highlights the journey of Kevin Hines, who at age 19 attempted to take his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Today, Kevin is a world-renowned mental health advocate, motivational speaker, and author who travels the globe spreading a message of hope, recovery, and wellness. In creating the film, Hines sought to better understand how his suicide attempt impacted his family, friends,

shine light on inspirational individuals, families, and organizations that are using personal pain to help others find the hope they need to heal. Across the globe, nearly one million people die annually by suicide. In the U.S., there are one million suicide attempts and more than 40,000 deaths in a given year. In January 2018, NAMI Mercer and AIR responded to a “Call for Action” by Mercer County school superintendents to address the alarming number of suicides by young people in the county: seven in the past 20 months. Suicide remains the third-leading cause of death for ages 10-24 in New Jersey. A limited number of tickets are available at a discounted rate. For more information

“The Theory of Relativity” At Rider University

R ider Universit y pres ents The Theory of Relativity in the Yvonne Theatre beginning with a preview performance on Thursday, February 22. Performances are Friday, February 23, t hrough Sunday, Febr u ary 25. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for nonRider students and can be purchased online at www.

7775. Preview performance tickets are $9 and are available only at the door. Rider University’s first major musical of the spring semester is The Theory of Relativity, a new musical written by Drama Desk nominees Neil Bartram and Brian Hill. The show introduces a wide range of characters experiencing the joys of life, heartbreaks, and personal development. “It is a show by up-andcoming writers,” says Trent Blanton, the show’s director. Blanton has been with Rider University for nine years, serving as an educator and a director. “The show is charming and illuminates the personal charm of each person in the cast. It’s a show our students can

age. It is the perfect opportunity for the actors to work on the art of complete honesty through performance.” He admires the dedication and intelligence of the cast, and he’s always moved by the authenticity and emotion behind each performance. The show begins with students evaluating their lives, promoted by a question on a physics exam. One by one, each featured character is given an opportunity to share their unique story through song. Blanton is particularly excited about the music that makes up the show. “There is a wide variety of styles. T here are torch s ongs, vaudeville-sequel compositions and more straightforward contemporary musical theatre, with clear pop influ-

The show was inspired by 20-year-old college students, creating the base for a story about love, fear, and the inevitability of human connection. Bartram and Hill were inspired by a night out with their young cast. The duo gained a new perspective on college students when they learned about the hopes, dreams, and insecurities their cast held. They crafted these complex feelings and emotions into this one-of-a-kind musical. Blanton anticipates that the show will have a profound effect on all those who come to see it. “I hope the audience will walk away with an understanding of how we are all connected and how we have the ability to deeply affect those around us.”

hadwick Boseman has made a successful career by portraying a variety of prominent African Americans, such as football star Floyd Little (The Express), baseball great Jackie Robinson (42), Godfather of Soul James Brown (Get on Up), and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall (Marshall). The versatile actor’s efforts have been recognized by the NAACP, which has nominated him for five Image Awards. Although Black Panther is a fictional character, the role is no less significant than the historical figures Chadwick has played in the past. That’s because black kids have rarely had a superhero that looks like them to root for, even in Africa, where the Lord of the Jungle, Tarzan, was white. Consequently, ticket sales for this Afrocentric movie have been through the roof, and I’m happy to report that audiences will not be disappointed. The film not only features a dignified protagonist and a socially-relevant plotline, but it’s also a worthy addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. The picture was directed by Ryan Coogler (Creed) with visually captivating special effects and an A-list cast that includes Academy Award-winners Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) and Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave), Oscar nominee Angela Bassett (What’s Love Got to Do With It), Michael B. Jordan, Daniel Kaluuya,

and Sterling K. Brown. At the point of departure, we learn that in ancient times the five tribes of Africa went to war over vibranium, a material in a meteorite that imbues its holder with superhuman powers. Fast forward to the present where T’Challa (Boseman) is being summoned home to the fictional nation of Wakanda in order to assume the reins of power after his father, King T’Chaka (John Kani) has died. However, a number of other warriors covet the throne and a South African arms smuggler (Andy Serkis) is also trying to get some vibranium. Fortunately T’Challa has a CIA agent (Martin Freeman) and three loyal females on his side, namely his 16-year-old sister (Letitia Wright), his ex-girlfriend (Nyong’o), and a bodyguard (Danai Gurira). What ensues is an edge-of-the-seat roller coaster ride that is as entertaining as any Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, or other superhero adventures. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for pervasive violent action sequences and a rude gesture. Running time: 134 minutes. Production Studios: Marvel Studios/Walt Disney Pictures. Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. —Kam Williams

With Freshman Meyers Getting Into a Groove, PU Women’s Hoops Moves Firmly Atop Ivies

bby Meyers has experienced some growing pains this winter in her freshman season with the Princeton University women’s basketball team. The highly touted Meyers, who scored more than 1,700 points for Walt Whitman High (Md.), went through some ups and downs over the first few months of her debut campaign, scoring 13 points against Davidson in her third game but then being held scoreless in wins over St. Joseph’s on December 20 and Penn on January 6. The 6’0 freshman guard from Potomac, Md. acknowledged that it has taken her a while to adjust to college basketball. “I think the biggest challenge is that everyone on this team in high school were the main players on their team, so it is coming in and trying to fit myself into this Princeton team.” said Meyers.

“It is really just settling into the Princeton offense and defense, trying to learn the game batter and take things slow.” With Princeton hosting a critical Ivy League homestand against Harvard, Dartmouth, and Penn, Meyers displayed her game. She scored six points against the Crimson in an 80-47 win on February 9 and then exploded for a career-high 19 against Dartmouth in an 8263 triumph the next day and then 17 against the Quakers as the Tigers triumphed 60-40 in the February 13 contest. “It is just wanting to be a spark in any way, offensively or defensively, and trying to keep an open mind,” added Meyers, who is now averaging 7.9 points and 2.8 rebounds a game. Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart is not surprised to see Meyers getting into the swing of things

on the next level. “Abby came in and was a very heralded recruit,” said Banghart. “She had to learn the college pace and learn the college game. This kid stays after every single practice to work on her ball handling. Defensively, she went from sort of paying attention to locking into what we are asking her to do.” The hard work put in by Meyers is clearly paying dividends. “I am really proud of her because she could have packed it in and said I can get better starting in the spring,” said Banghart. “We know she can score. It is that fact that she is able to defend and rebound and she is able to retain how we want her to play. She is probably our most improved player; she is playing with more confidence because she can do more on the court than she used to be able to do. We are better the better she gets.”

Sophomore standout Bella Alarie is getting better and better, contributing 18 points and 15 rebounds against Penn and helping to hold Quaker star Michelle Nwokedi to 12 points on 5-of-18 shooting. “Bella is still learning how to be a star and what it is to be a star,” said Banghart. “She played with a lot of joy tonight. She guarded one of the best players in our league really well. She is really special at both ends. She had that big 3, she is in the right position, defensively. She was solid the whole game; we are really, really grateful that she is a Tiger.” Banghart was proud of the defensive effort collectively in the win over Penn as the Tigers held the Quakers to a season low in points and 25.8 percent shooting from the floor (16-for-62). “It was on a one-day scout; we gave them off Sunday,” explained Banghart. “We came in and watched some film and then Monday, we went through the scout. I give a lot of credit to my staff. These guys were just totally locked in defensively. We knew how we wanted to play and I thought we did a really good job of that.” Building on the win over Penn, Princeton kept surging as it topped Cornell 72-40 on Friday and Columbia 74-46 a day later to improve to 19-4 overall and 9-1 Ivy. “I have said it all along,

ABBY ROAD: Princeton University women’s basketball player Abby Meyers heads to the hoop in recent action. Last week, freshman guard Meyers scored 17 points to help Princeton defeat Penn 60-40. Last Saturday, she chipped in 12 as the Tigers rolled to 74-46 win at Columbia. Princeton, now 19-4 overall and 9-1 Ivy League, plays at Dartmouth on February 23 and at Harvard on February 24. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) I just really love this team, they are totally locked into the process,” said Banghart, whose squad has now posted six straight victories and will look to keep on the winning track as it plays at Dartmouth on February 23 and at Harvard on February 24. “I have to literally kick them out of the gym. It was a huge homestand for us. We are just playing better basketball. Against Yale (a 7359 loss on February 2), we

just didn’t play well. I love the bounce back. That is a good team.” Meyers, for her part, is dedicated to the process of getting better and better. “It is just staying patient and trying to make a difference for the team and doing whatever I can to help,” said Meyers, who chipped in 12 points in Princeton’s win at Columbia. —Bill Alden

Fueled by Brown’s Impressive Debut, PU Men’s Lax Edges Monmouth in 2 OT In the early stages of his debut for the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team, Chris Brown struggled to get in a rhythm. Freshman attackman Brown and and the Princeton offense couldn’t find the back of the net as the Tigers and visiting Monmouth were knotted in a scoreless stalemate late in the first quarter last Saturday in the season opener for both squads. “We had our shots and the goalie, give him credit, made some great saves in the beginning,” said Brown. In the second quar ter, Brown found the range, tallying a goal and two assists as Princeton jumped out to a 5-1 halftime lead. “Once you start sweating and getting your legs u nder neat h you it goes back to normal, playing lacrosse,” said Brown, a 6’2, 200-pound native of Fairfield, Conn. “Any time you start producing and the offense starts clicking it works out. I was starting to get into the game and flowing.” As the game unfolded, Brown kept producing, ending up with two goals and three assists as Princeton pulled out a 9- 8 win in double overtime against the Hawks. Brown scored the final

goal in regulation for Princeton as the Tigers forged ahead 8-7. “He was going for the ball quick,” said Brown, referring to the Monmouth defender. “You just try to take your shots when you can, and luckily that one stuck. That worked out really well.” Things ended up working out well for the Tigers as senior star Riley Thompson converted a feed by sophom or e s t a n d o u t M i c h a e l Sowers in double overtime to give the Tigers a hardearned 9-8 victory. “I was never really worried about the score but give them credit, we were up by a couple and they battled back,” said Brown. “They are a good team but we ended up getting the win, which is huge for us. I couldn’t ask for a more exciting start to my college career with a double overtime win.” Brown is excited about the chance to play on the same line with All-American Sowers, who tallied a goal and three assists in the win. “He makes your job so much easier for you, if you get the slightest bit open he is going to find you and even if you are not, he will make you open at times,” said Brown. “I have learned so much about the game of la-

crosse, playing every single day with all of this talent.” Princeton head coach Matt Madalon credits Brown with giving the Tigers an infusion of talent on attack. “Chris a big time player, he does it everyday in practice without hesitation,” said Madalon. “He did a nice job.” The Tigers, though, didn’t do a good job of building on a 7-2 third quarter lead as the Hawks scored five unanswered goals to make it a 7-7 contest midway through the fourth quarter. “We didn’t shoot the ball particularly well and they did a great job; they are a very, very well coached program,” said Madalon. “They chip away at it. We fouled, we made too many mistakes, we gave them to many opportunities to get back in the game. We left the door wide open. We turned the ball over on unforced errors on offense. We didn’t play our best today. I am happy that we can learn from a win.” Madalon was not surprised to see senior star and cocaptain Thompson tally the game winner even though he had been held scoreless to that point. “If there was anyone who was going to get that goal, it was probably 24 just because he does every little thing properly,” said Madalon. “He never takes a play off, he cuts when he is supposed to cut, he picks when he is supposed to pick. I am really happy for him.” The play of senior goalie Tyler Blaisdell, who had 13 saves in the first half and mad some cr ucial stops down the stretch, also made Madalon happy. “Any time you are at 17 saves that is a good game,” said Madalon of Blaisdell, who was later named the Ivy League Player of the Week for his performance. “It was good for him to start the season that way.” The defensive unit started well, holding the fort under a barrage as the Hawks totaled 57 shots on the afternoon. “Those guys did a really good job,” said Madalon, citing the efforts of Aran Roberts, Arman Medghalchi, and Danny Winschuh. “You have to give credit to them as a whole. Any time you win an overtime game, especially a double OT game, everyone did just enough.” Princeton will need to do more this Saturday to pull out another win as the 18thranked Tigers play at No. 6 Virginia (2-0). “It is still so early for us; our goal is always a national championship,” said Madalon. “There are many ways to get there and the easiest one is through the Ivy League in terms of an automatic qualifier. We have a lot to learn and hopefully we are on the upward trajectory.” Brown, for his part, believes the Tigers will find a way against the Cavaliers. “They are a top tier program in the country and they have been doing well,” said Brown. “You try to take one game at a time so we are going to prepare for them; it is going to be a huge test for us.” —Bill Alden

As PU’s 1998, 2008 ECACH Champs Honored, Tiger Men’s Hockey Girding for Playoff Push T h e 19 9 8 a n d 2 0 0 8 Princeton University men’s hockey ECAC Hockey championship squads were honored at Hobey Baker Rink last Saturday evening. Players from the storied teams were introduced after the first and second periods as Princeton hosted Union in its regular season home finale, drawing large ovations from the crowd of 2,271 that braved a snowstorm to be on hand. As the game unfolded, this year’s Princeton team fought an uphill battle against a Dutchmen squad displaying some championship form. Union outshot the Tigers 19-8 in the first period in jumping out to a 2-0 lead. After falling behind 3-0 midway through the contest, Princeton answered with a goal by Ryan Kuffner to cut the margin but it never got closer than that as Union added an empty net goal to seal a 4-1 victory. P r i nce ton h e ad coach Ron Fogarty tipped his hat to Union. “They did a great job on the forecheck; we couldn’t get in the offensive zone in the first period,” said Fogarty. “They are a skilled team that plays very disciplined and very heavy. We knew that coming in. They had way more jump. They were playing for something, still

trying to capture a championship.” While Fogarty was disappointed with the outcome, he credited the Tigers with showing some jump down the stretch. “I t h ou g ht we playe d about 18 minutes of hockey, mostly in the third period,” said Fogarty, whose team is now 12-12-3 overall and 9-10-1 ECACH while Union improved to 20-13-1 overall and 15-5 ECACH. “We were trying to play catch up.” Freshman goalie Ryan Ferland kept Princeton in the game, making 32 saves through the first two periods on the way to a total of 39 for the evening. “Ferland played well; he did hold the fort down,” said Fogarty of his netminder, who now has a 3.17 goals against average and a .908 save percentage in his debut campaign. Junior forward Kuffner has been playing really well, tallying a hat trick in a 7-2 win against Rensselaer on Friday and now has 23 goals after the goal against Union to lead the ECACH. “Since day one, he is one of our purest goal scorers,” said Fogar ty. “He has a great release. He wants to score and he has a knack for it. His game has been great.” The fact that Princeton

didn’t have the services of star forward Alex Riche and top defenseman Josh Teves due to injury impacted its game. “It is no excuse for the outcome but those are two major pieces of our puzzle and rebuilding the structure of a hockey team,” said Fogarty, who hopes to have both players back on the ice this weekend. “It hurts.” With the Tigers currently tied for seventh in the ECACH standings and in position to host a first round playoff series, Fogarty knows his team needs a good outcome when it wraps up the regular season with games at Clarkson on February 23 and at St. Lawrence on February 24. “I expect us to play hard; you want to have everything under your control and we still control home ice,” said Fogarty. “We will get back to work and practice and get some jump back.” While Fogarty knows it won’t be be an easy task, he believes his team can continue the program’s recent trend of winning ECACH crowns during years ending in 8. “Our conference is so tight now, anybody can win,” said Fogarty. “In the playoffs, it is two out of three and you need guys to be really elevated and jumping. It is going to be anyone’s game, home or away.” —Bill Alden

BECK AND CALL: Princeton University men’s hockey player Max Becker heads up the ice in a game this season. Senior forward Becker and his classmates played their final regular season home games at Hobey Baker Rink last weekend, winning 7-2 against Rensselaer on Friday and then falling 4-1 to Union a night later. Princeton, now 12-12-3 overall and 9-10-1 ECAC Hockey, wraps up regular season action by playing at Clarkson on February 23 and at St. Lawrence on February 24. The Tigers are currently tied for seventh in the ECACH standings and in position to host a first round playoff series over the weekend of March 2-4. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Hun Boys’ Hockey Wins 5th Straight MCT Title As Freshman Argentina Makes Immediate Impact Matthew Argentina relished the chance to hit the ice last Friday night to play in the Mercer County Tournament boys’ hockey title game. “I knew it was going to be something special,” said Hun School freshman star forward Argentina. “It was my first time and it was better than I expected. It was a great atmosphere and all.” With a jam-packed Mercer Skating Center in an uproar, top-seeded and fourtime defending champion Hun skated to a 1-1 stalemate with second-seeded Princeton High through the first period. A t t h e f i r s t i n te r m i s sion, the Hun players found some inspiration in their drive for a fifth title. “We went into the locker for the ice cut and the boys just got pumped,” said Argentina. “There was something about it, everybody just went off.” Riding that emotion, the Raiders did go off in the s econd p er io d, out s cor-

ing PHS 4-1 as Argentina tallied a goal and two assists with junior star Kyle Mandleur chipping in two goals and an assist. Hun never looked back on the way to a 9-4 victory. Argentina has developed a special connection on the ice with Mandleur. “It has been great playing with Kyle,” said Argentina, who ended the night with two goals and two assists, while Mandleur piled up three goals and four as sists. “I just have to set him up and he can score on every shot.” Winning the title was a very good way for Argentina to cap off his freshman season. “It has been a lot of progress,” said Argentina, who has committed to attend the University of Notre Dame and play for its men’s hockey program. “I didn’t know what to expect in the high school league. I think it went fairly well. My strengths are puck handling, starting and stopping on the picks, just simple hockey.”

Hun head coach Ian McNally believed that keeping things simple in the second period proved to be the impetus for the Raider outburst. “In the first period, ever ybody is excited ; their buddies are here yelling their name and both sides were just going 100 miles an hour,” said McNally. “In the second period, we were able to hang on to the puck a little bit longer to make smarter plays. We caught our breath a little bit.” The smart play of Argentina with the puck made a difference against PHS. “Matt is obviously a special talent and t hat has been identified, as young as he is,” said McNally. “There have probably been two or three games this year when he carries the puck, you are ‘wow’ and tonight was one of them. You can hear the oohs in the crowd when he goes up ice ; tonight was one of the more impressive efforts from him.” Junior star Mandleur is clearly another special talent for the Raiders. “Kyle is incredible, there are probably two games a year where he didn’t score multiple goals,” said McNally, noting that Mandleur scored 45 goals this winter. “We haven’t had somebody like that come through. We have had some really good players, but not a guy that could score at will like that. Beyond that, that used to be all it was.

Bey-Shana Clark scored the first four points as the Stuart Country Day School b as ke tb a l l te a m h o s te d Academy of St. Elizabeth in the state Prep B title game last Wednesday. The two buckets by junior star Clark set the tone as the Tartans raced out to a 35-7 halftime lead. “We were just sharing the ball; it was hard work and hard moves,” said Clark in assessing the team’s first half performance. The second-seeded Tartans kept working hard to the buzzer as they rolled to a 62-22 win over the fourthseeded Panthers. Clark, who ended up with a game-high 22 points, was looking to be aggressive to the final buzzer. “I went to the basket more than I usually do,” said a smiling Clark. “I usually pass it off but I took it more often this time.” The Tartans were thrilled to take the title, the program’s first- ever Prep B championship and its first s t ate P rep crow n s i nce 1979. “We had this pinned on the calendar since the beginning of the season,” said Clark. “Coach [Justin Leith] talked about it all the time. It is that mountain that we have to climb and we have to get to the top.” Reaching the summit with senior star Jalynn Spaulding, who has formed a onetwo punch with Clark the last three seasons, gave the championship extra meaning. “It is good to get it, especially when Jalynn is in her last year,” said Clark of Spaulding, who tallied 15 points in the title contest. “We have been here from the beginning and that hard

work paid off.” Working tirelessly on her game has helped Clark become a more versatile performer. “ T h e b i g g e s t a r e a of progress for me is seeing the floor,” said Clark. “I am starting to get more assists and stuff. Before, I was always just a post player and now I am working on my outside game.” Stuart head coach Leith credited Clark and Spaulding with spearheading the Tartans against Academy of St. Elizabeth. “They are upperclassmen, Bey and Jalynn, and they led the way,” said Leith. “They were relentless and that is what we talked about, to be relentless and just focus on the work.” Being relentless collectively paved the way for Stuart’s championship run. “It is our first Prep B basketball title in school history,” said Leith. “We were so happy to have it here, to have the girls experience it, and to have our community experience it. It means a lot, it means that we headed in the right direction. We set a goal in the beginning of the season and we obtained it.” The Stuart community was certainly excited as the gym was packed last Wednesday and supporters flooded the floor to mob the players in the postgame celebration. “I have been here for four years, the girls have been getting into it in every sport,” said Leith.

“We went to over to PDS a couple of years ago for the field hockey title game and we had more people there than they did. The school is anxious for this and it is so great that we are starting to perform now.” Leith acknowledged that the team’s fast start was critical to its dominant performance.

I never have to talk about sharing the basketball, it is wonderful. They play and when someone is doing well, they encourage it. They don’t feel bad for themselves, it is awesome.”

In Clark’s view, the blend of competitiveness and camaraderie has been the formula for success. “It is just the confidence that we have; our intensity and hard work on defense,” said Clark. “There is no time that we are not cheering someone. We always pat each other on the back, even if it is a bad call or something like that. We always stay positive on the court.” —Bill Alden

PHS Boys’ Hockey Falls in MCT Title Game, Looks to Build on Run in State Tournament When the Princeton High boys’ hockey team faced Hun in early December, the local rivals skated to a 3-3 tie. Last Friday, when the foes met in the Mercer County To u r n a m e n t c h a m p i o n ship game for the second straight year, it looked like they were headed to another nail-biter. After the first period of the contest at a jam-packed Mercer County Skating Center, second-seeded PHS and top-seeded Hun were knotted in a 1-1 tie. “We kept it simple,” said

PHS head coach Tim Chase, reflecting on the first 15 minutes of the contest. “We were dominating the play. They have eight shots down there for them on the scoresheet, but I don’t think they got eight shots in the first period on us. We were all over them.” In t he second per iod, however, Hun was all over PHS, outscoring the Little Tigers 4-1, including three unanswered goals to end the frame. “We started trying to be fancy on the blue line and we started turning the puck

STICKING TOGETHER: Princeton High boys’ hockey player Ben Drezner, No. 19, celebrates with his teammates after a goal last Friday in the Mercer County Tournament title game against Hun. Junior forward Drezner tallied two goals and an assist in a losing cause as second-seeded PHS fell 9-4 to top-seeded Hun. The Little Tigers, who moved to 16-8-2 with the loss, are headed to the state Public B tournament where they are seeded 11th and were slated to play at sixth-seeded Middletown North on February 20 in a first-round contest. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

over,” lamented Chase as he assessed the second period. “Then they grab a lead and we try to do more fancy things and it wasn’t working. It happens; you press and you try to do things you shouldn’t.” While PHS showed some fight as it tallied two goals in the third period, it played shorthanded for much of the waning moments of the contest as Hun pulled away to a 9-4 triumph and its fifth straight county crown. “We are not going to win many games with that many penalties,” said Chase, who got two goals from Ben Drezner in the loss with Aidan Trainor and Keith Goldberg scoring one apiece. “We were in the box too much.” Chase was proud of how his players pulled out overtime wins in the quarters (4-3 over Robbinsville on February 7) and semis (5-4 over Notre Dame on February 13) to advance to the championship game. “It was good, our kids came through in some pressure situations,” said Chase. “We put ourselves behind in games and against a team like Hun, you can’t do that.” Playing Hun should help PHS as it heads into the state Public B tournament, where it is seeded 11th and is slated to play at sixthseeded Middletown North in a first round contest on February 20. “I think it is a good wakeup call. Hun plays a lot of good teams throughout the year, so they are used to a little faster pace,” said Chase. “We have got to get there. We started out there, but we didn’t keep that intensity the whole game through. We stepped back and tried changing the game to more of a pond hockey game, and that doesn’t work.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Eastman’s Emergence as Scoring Threat, PDS Boys’ Hockey Advances to MAHL Title Game During his sophomore season with the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team, Ty Eastman played it close to the vest when he got the puck. “L ast year I was ver y hesitant,” said Eastman. “I wasn’t taking chances.” Teaming up this winter w it h fellow junior Coby Auslander and senior Ryan Lisk on the team’s top line, Eastman has emerged as an offensive force. “They have just been feeding me and I have been getting shots,” said Eastman. “I t h i n k my conf idence definitely has gone up for sure.” Last Wednesday, Eastman displayed that confidence, scoring the first goal as PDS jumped out to a 1-0 lead against LaSalle College High (Pa.) in the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL) semis. “We had the power play going,” said Eastman, recalling the tally. “Chip [Hamlett] did a good of keeping the puck in. Ryan fed me in the slot. On all of our goals, everyone is working.” PDS entered the third period leading 3-1 but had to work hard to win as LaSalle narrowed the gap to 3-2 before the Panthers tacked on a late goal to earn a 4-2 victory. As a result of the win, PDS, now 17-7, will be hosting Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) in the MAHL title game on February 21. Eastman and his teammates were thrilled to make it to their first MAHL title game. “We knew what happened last year in the semis; we were up 3-0 and then they came back and beat us,” said Eastman, who also had an assist in the win over LaSalle. “We knew they were going to push, but we just had to come out hard, and luckily we got it done. It is big, it was our goal at the beginning of the year. We wanted to be able to host the championship game and get a crack at it. This is our league, and you want to be the champs in anything you play.” Playing with Auslander and Lisk this season has been a huge plus for Eastman. “We have a great chemistry,” said Eastman. “I do the battling work and they feed me the puck. We work well together, we love playing with each other. It is fun.” It has been fun for PDS head coach Scott Bertoli to see Eastman’s progress. “Ty is a completely different player than he was last year. The kid, at times, can be dominant,” said Bertoli. “He benefits from playing with really skilled kids. The chemistry is tremendous and they are arguably the best line on the ice every game out. Ty just brings that bigger, physical power forward type of edge and then the kid has a knack for scoring goals. He goes to the hard areas of the rink. He gives us an element that we haven’t

had in a while and he has a good skill level. I think confidence is the biggest thing with him.” Bertoli credited PDS with showing confidence down the stretch as it held off a determined LaSalle squad that generated some good scoring chances after it narrowed the gap to 3-2 midway through the third period. “I just like the fact that we gutted it out at the end; we knew they were going to make a push. They are a good team,” said Bertoli. “We fou nd a way, we s t a r te d blo ck i n g s h ot s. We started doing the little things. Boris [Gorelenkov] made some great saves; he played tremendous down the stretch. There were a couple of situations where there were pucks out front and he was controlling rebounds, which is great.” For Bertoli, seeing the Panthers reach the MAHL final represents a breakthrough for the program. “It felt like we needed somewhere to hang our hat and this was a group of teams, year in, year out, that we were having really competitive games with,” said Bertoli. “It has gotten to the point where the kids get excited about it. As a coach, I value this much more than I ever valued the Prep tournament because the quality of the teams in this league is so high.” Earning the title would be something of great value for the PDS players. “This to me is much bigger than anything we have done; we have had some of the bigger wins in my tenure,

obviously beating Delbarton (1-0 on December 13) was a huge feather in our cap,” said Bertoli. “Other than read about it the next day in the paper, you are not hanging banners. As good as I think this team is, I wanted them to feel that there is something they can come back and walk into this rink for. To hang a banner and win this championship would be something that is well deserved.” Even t hough t he Pan thers have already posted two victories over Wyoming this season, winning 4-3 on December 10 and 3-0 on January 3, topping the surging Blue Knights for a third time isn’t going to be an easy task. “Wyoming Seminary will pose a different challenge, they are an older and physical group that has a really good goaltender,” said Bertoli. “ T h e y h ave obv i ou s l y done a lot of good things because they have had some good results in the last two weeks. I like the fact that it is at home. It is great for our kids, it is great for our seniors and it is great for our community. It was one of the goals at the start of the year. One was to host a semifinal game and ideally get to the final. It is an extra bonus that it is at home.” Eastman, for his part, believes that PDS is ready to give a great effort in the title clash. “We have played them twice and we know they are a tough group,” said Eastman. “It is not going to be easy; it is going to be a battle. We know if we come out hard and play our game, we can have success.” —Bill Alden

Longtime Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse head coach Jill Thomas wasn’t sure what was up when she was summoned to a meeting with Head of School Paul Stellato this past December. Thomas got a pleasant surprise as she learned from Stellato that she has been voted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame. “I was act ually pret t y shocked; Tracy (assistant coach Tracy Young ) got the seniors together and I was called into the Head of School’s office,” recalled Thomas. “Paul announced it in front of the seniors, which to me, that was the best. They set it up right and I wouldn’t want to hear it any other way than from those kids.” T h om as k n e w f rom a young age that coaching was the right path for her.

Influenced by her father, a college coach and athletic director, Thomas headed from her native new New England to Ursinus College, where she earned a degree in Health and PE in 1976. S h e c a m e to P D S i n 1988 and took the helm of the girls’ lacrosse varsity team in 1998, relishing the chance to guide the storied program. “I like success. I am a competitor,” said Thomas, who also coached basketball and field hockey at PDS. “It was a good fit. They were good kids; some of these kids were playing field hockey or basketball and they fell into lacrosse.” During her tenure, Thomas has piled up more than 500 career wins.

NO DOUBTING THOMAS: Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse coach Jill Thomas surveys the action in a game last year. Thomas was recently inducted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Guiding the PDS program since 1998, Thomas has amassed more than 500 career wins. Her teams have won five Patriot League Championships, a Mercer County Championship in 2010, and a MCT second-place finish in 2011. In addition, Thomas has led the Panthers to Prep B state titles in 2015, 2016, and 2017. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

place finish in 2011. In addition, Thomas has led the Panthers to Prep B state titles in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Noting that the game has evolved and that the players are more and more skilled every year, Thomas relies on bedrock values in guiding the Panthers. “I think some of the things that I believe in and I hold very dear — fundamentals, sense of team and camaraderie and all of the life lessons you learn in sports,” said Thomas. “It is cool when the kids can get back and say you still do that; those things have stood the test of time, so to speak. At the same time, all successful coaches have to remain students of the game.” In assessing her successful run, Thomas is quick to spread the credit. “It just says varsity head coach after my name, but the wins have been the results of a lot of hours, a lot of heartache, a lot of really good times and a lot of good people having a role in it,” said Thomas. “The kids want to do well and we have been fortunate enough to be able to do well. PDS has fostered a sense of pride and they have given me the opportunity to do that.” At the Hall of Fame induction ceremony last month, Thomas took the opportunity to thank her support system. “It was about how honored and humbled I am,” said Thomas, noting that a large group of PDS administration, friends, colleagues, and players were in attendance at the induction ceremony. “It was about all the amazing people that have made this possible. It was heartfelt. Successful people surround themselves with successful people and I have had the pleasure of working with so many successful people that it has been wonderful.” With the 2018 lax season around the corner, Thomas is ready to get to work as the Panthers go after a fourth straight Prep B crown. “There is a lot that is going to happen between now and then,” said Thomas. “I get charged and really psyched every year.” —Bill Alden

THE SECRET TO PRINCETONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHARM? 2 (SURPRISING) THINGS BUYERS ARE LOOKING FOR There are lots of things to love about Princeton and the Central Jersey area - and buyers know it. History, culture, small-town charm, a university vibe, the famous Jersey Shore - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all here. But according to a survey by Zillow, there are two other characteristics of central NJ that are especially appealing to buyers - and at least one of them might surprise you: â&#x20AC;˘ Proximity to a city: No really big surprise here. Lots of people like to be close to a city for the sports and cultural activities, for work, for shopping - lots of reasons. And also not surprisingly, people are willing to pay more for homes that are near cities. In central NJ, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re within easy driving distance of two major metro regions - New York and Philly. â&#x20AC;˘ Proximity to Starbucks: Yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right - Starbucks. The same survey found homes near Starbucks locations sold for significantly higher prices than homes that were a fair distance from the popular coffee shops. And once again, Central Jersey wins, with a dozen or more Starbucks dotting the landscape. Are you ready to sell? You've got what buyers want! Contact your agent now so you're ready for the spring rush.
