Williamson and Niedergang Score Highest on Ballot Placement Vote for Council

In Monday night’s ballot placement vote by the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee (PDMC), Dwaine Williamson and Eve Niedergang were the highest ranked candidates for the two open seats on Princeton Council. This means that Scotia MacRae, chairman of the PDMC, will recommend to the chair of the Mercer County Democratic Organization that they be ranked in that order — first and second — on the June 5 primary election ballot. Williamson and Niedergang also received the most votes from the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) at its Local and County Endorsement Meeting on Sunday evening. Niedergang earned more than 60 percent of the vote (77.7), meaning she gets the PCDO’s endorsement. Williamson got over 40 percent (42.5), so he gets the support. The PDMC and PCDO are two distinctly different organizations. The PDMC is the official arm of the Democratic party. Members are elected and serve two years. They also become members of Continued on Page 4

Gunman’s Death Ends Standoff With Police A four-and-a-half-hour standoff between police and an armed gunman at Panera Bread on Nassau Street ended shortly before 3 p.m. Tuesday when the man was fatally shot by police. The man entered Panera Bread on Nassau Street with a handgun around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and made threats as customers and employees fled. Police secured the perimeter of the restaurant. The immediate area of Panera was evacuated, and Nassau Street between Witherspoon Street and Washington Road was closed for most of the day. The Princeton Police Department, state police, and the FBI were all at the scene, attempting to negotiate with the man and persuade him to surrender peacefully. Police quickly reported that the situation was contained within the restaurant with no threat to public safety. The public was advised to stay away from the area until further notice. At press time, the identity of the deceased man was being withheld pending notification of family members. No further details of the shooting were released due to the ongoing investigation by the Attorney General’s Shooting Response Team.

Two Princeton University campus buildings closest to Panera, Henry House and Scheide Caldwell House, were evacuated as a precaution. Few students are around, as University classes are not in session this week of spring break. Princeton Public Schools (PPS) remained in a shelter in place mode throughout the day, according to PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane, but the police reported that there was no danger to students, so afternoon dismissal and activities took place as usual.

Princeton Public Library was on lockdown throughout most of the day, but the lockdown was lifted in the late afternoon. One Nassau Street resident reported seeing a stretcher carried into the restaurant at about 3 p.m., but it was carried out empty within an hour. According to tweets, customers and staff at stores on Tulane Street, including Princeton Record Exchange and Princeton Barber Shop, were told to stay inside. —Donald Gilpin —Anne Levin

Institute for Advanced Study to Donate $500,000 to Princeton Public Schools The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) has announced that it will donate $500,000 to the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) over the next five years, beginning with the 2018-19 school year. “The Institute for Advanced Study is proud to be an engaged partner in the Princeton community and greatly values its superb public schools,” said Institute Director Robbert Dijkgraaf. “The Institute and the Princeton Public School District share a common commitment to education and pursuit of knowledge. Our gift will

support the Princeton Public Schools as they educate our children to lead lives of joy and purpose in a global society.” The number of IAS children in PPS varies from 20 to 40 year to year, with about 30 currently enrolled, according to school officials. “We are extraordinarily grateful for this contribution,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane. “It comes at a crucial time in the life of the district as we plan for rising enrollments, and it will truly make Continued on Page 10

2018 March for Science To Be Held in Trenton

The second annual New Jersey March for Science will take place on the steps of the War Memorial in Trenton on Saturday, April 14 at 10 a.m. Scientists, educators, students, health care professionals, and anyone who supports science are invited to this free, non-partisan event. Speakers will be followed by a march and science education fair/rally/teach in. Last year, more than a million people worldwide, including some 6,000 people across New Jersey, took part in the largest science advocacy demonstration in history. Some 70 satellite events

are scheduled to take place simultaneously in the United States and across the world during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s march. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we marched because we were concerned that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership was turning away from science and evidence-based policy,â&#x20AC;? said Matthew Buckley, professor of physics at Rutgers University and founder of the march. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past year has unfortunately confirmed those concerns.â&#x20AC;? A fundamental idea of the March for Science movement is that science is a powerful tool to improve the nation and the lives of the people living in it, whether the focus is on climate change or medicine, public safety or education. Assemblyman and physicist Andrew Zwicker, who spoke at the 2017 march and is on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering committee, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We march not just to demand evidence-based decision making from all of our elected leaders, regardless of their ideology, but to protect our children and grandchildren from political decisions that will have an impact for generations.â&#x20AC;?

Joint Effort Safe Streets March Program Honors Witherspoon-Jackson Community

T he Joi nt Ef for t S afe St reets P rog ram, wh ich presents an array of Witherspoon-Jackson Community (W-J) activities each August, added a spring celebration this year with three memorable events taking place last week. Last Thursday evening at

the First Baptist Church of Princeton, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Princeton Salute for Lance Livermanâ&#x20AC;? recognized and thanked â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved town leaders,â&#x20AC;? according to Safe Streets organizer John Bailey. Liverman, who will be retiring from town Council at the end of this year, has given almost 30 years of public service to the Princeton community. On Friday evening Hillier Studios on Witherspoon Street was the setting for a community reception and historic program sponsored by the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society and attended by about 100 community members and suppor ters. Designs were unveiled for the first four of 26 W-J Community Heritage Trail Plaques.

W-J Historical and Culture Society President Shirley Satterfield presented designs for the first four W-J Community Heritage Trail Plaques recognizing Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic black churches: Mt. Pisgah A.M.E., founded in 1832; Witherspoon Street Presbyterian, founded in 1840; First Baptist, founded in 1885; and Morning Star Church of God in Christ, founded in 1941. The final event, held on Saturday morning, was a Joint Effort Safe Streets Critical Issues Update and a Princeton Town Council Candidates Forum at the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a dream come true,â&#x20AC;? said Satterfield in un: LUS veiling Pthe designs for the church plaques. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all started in 1990 when I joined the Historical Society of Princeton and all they were talking about was white Princeton.â&#x20AC;? Satterfield was determined to win recognition for the history of Princeton beyond Wiggins Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said if you go from Wiggins to Birch Avenue, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how Princeton became Princeton,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1997 I started my Heritage Tour so that people would remember. All my relatives, all my ancestors, all those who helped us along â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I want to thank them, and I want to thank you all so much.â&#x20AC;?

Bob Hillier, host of the reception and treasurer of W-J Historical and Cultural Society (and a Town Topics shareholder) later announced that he had promised Satterfield that the original Witherspoon Street School for Colored Children building would be restored and that a plaque donated by Hillier and his wife Barbara would be installed in honor of Satterfield. Designed by Studio Hillier with historical commentary written by Satterfield, the 26 plaques will be placed at significant sites around tow n.

Pisgah); and Eric and Minnie Craig and Mamie Lee Oldham (Morning Star). Other plaque donors include The C. Raymond Davis Company, Mark Freda, Daniel A. Harris and Jane Buttars, J. Robert and Barbara Hillier, Rev. David McAlpin, and Patricia M. McCarthy. Eighteen plaques are yet to be dedicated. “To me the most fascinating aspect of the history of this community is that it was a strictly segregated community that was separated, self-sufficient, and sustainable with its own set of merchants, services, and teachers who were part of the very community whose kids they were teaching,” Hillier said. “This resulted in the amazing success of many of the graduates of this community as they left Princeton and found their way in a bigger world.” He went on to discuss the importance of the W-J Heritage Tour. “The Heritage Tour has been established to preserve the proud history of this unique community in the center of Princeton,” he noted, “so that ‘progress’ does not eliminate its part in the overall growth of the specialness of this remarkable town of Princeton.” Bailey described the fundraising effort, $1,500 for each plaque, as “a labor of love.” “The folks who

stepped up love their community, love their churches, and hopefully love Shirley’s Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society and the Heritage Tour. I’m a very small cog in the ancestral chain of the folks who will continue to make our community not only a wonderful place to work and live, but to do business, to play, and to continue to love.” The theme of this year’s Joint Effort Safe Streets events in August, Bailey revealed, will be “The Future.” —Donald Gilpin

Kids and Families Learn About Princeton’s Architecture

The Histor ical Societ y of Pr inceton ( HSP ) w ill host a new fam ily pro gram designed to increase awareness of the tow n’s rich architectural heritage. Building Princeton will be held on Sunday, April 8, in the Wojciechowicz Barn at HSP’s Updike Farmstead. Using 70,000 LEGO building blocks, 50 teams will each receive a photograph and story of a historic building, which they will build within the 2-hour program. When the models are finished, they will be placed on a 30-foot map of Princeton, providing an aerial view of the town. This program, with adults and children working together, is ideal for children ages 8-12, but all ages are encouraged to participate. Led by architect Stephen W.

about local and national issues.

Question of the Week:

“What impact has the John Witherspoon

neighborhood had on the Princeton community?” (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

“Originally a segregated, self-sufficient, and sustainable African

American community, Witherspoon-Jackson later became home to the Italian, Irish, and now Hispanic immigrants. It has been the ‘entry’ community for so many in the service workforce of Princeton, while also producing so many entrepreneurs, scholars, artists, professionals, and politicians who have done great things for Princeton and the region.” —J. Robert Hillier, Princeton

“Our people in the John Witherspoon neighborhood have basically

sustained Princeton for years. When I was younger, I grew up on what was called Old Clay Street, and I remember how our parents worked hard. They worked in all of the establishments in Princeton and on what was called The Avenue, which was taking care of the eating clubs for the University. This community has always shared with Princeton the spirit of being rich in faith and in sustainability.” —Shirley Satterfield, Princeton

“I moved into the neighborhood 20 years ago. I loved my time living

here. I think that this neighborhood helps keep Princeton grounded, and is a true neighborhood where neighbors know each other and look out for each other.” —Stephanie Chorney, Princeton

“Well, I think it’s had a tremendous impact. It has historically been a major part of standing for what Princeton is. This neighborhood has always been a very diverse community and home to many proud generations of Princetonians.” —Tom Parker, Princeton

letter that Langlands wrote in 1967 to Andrew Weil, a professor at the Institute at the time, in which he proposed a grand unifying theory that relates concepts in number theory, algebraic geometry, and the theory of automorphic forms. A typed copy of the letter circulated widely among mathematicians in the late 1960s and 1970s, and mathematicians have been working on its conjectures ever since. “The Institute is incredibly proud and pleased that Robert Langlands has received the great honor of the 2018 Abel Prize in recognition of his visionary program,” said Institute Director Robbert Dijkgraaf. “Bob’s deep insights have inspired generations of mathematicians and yielded many profound breakthroughs. The course he charted will guide the future of mathematics and will undoubtedly lead to new surprising discoveries — a gift to the world that keeps on giving.” The Abel Prize, to be given to Langlands by H.M. King Harald V at a ceremony in Oslo on May 22, comes with a monetary award of nearly $ 800,000. Seventeen of 19 of the recipients of the Abel Prize, first bestowed in 2003, have been affiliated with the Institute as faculty or members.

“I think that the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood has been an

integral part of the Princeton community throughout the town’s entire history. Historically, this has been the service community. And today, while it’s no longer the service community because the town is much more diverse and much more integrated, the historical implication is that Princeton has been built on the shoulders of African Americans, Italian Americans, and many other folks who have come through not only the John Witherspoon neighborhood, but have come through Princeton.” —John Bailey, Princeton

At a closed session meeting this Friday morning, Princeton Council is scheduled to discuss the affordable housing requirement that was decided March 8 by Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary C. Jacobson. Princeton’s requirement was set at 753 units, while West Windsor received a requirement of 1,500. These numbers cover a span from 1999 to 2025. The 217-page decision gives Princeton credit for affordable units that have been built since 1999. The issue dates from March 2015, when the New Jersey Supreme Court found that the Council on Affordable Housing had failed to ensure that municipal affordable housing obligations throughout the state were set for the period from 1999 to 2025. Municipalities went to court to have their affordable housing obligations determined. Four months later, Princeton filed a declarator y judgment with the court saying the town would provide 445 units. Fair Share Housing had determined the town’s obligation to be 1,495. The final estimate from the court experts at

that time was 501. But municipal officials say t hey can meet t he 753-unit requirement set by Judge Jacobson. Mayor Liz Lempert and Council President Jenny Crumiller issued a statement in reaction to the ruling. “We are glad that a decision has been reached so that we can focus our time and dollars into creating opportunities for more affordable housing. Princeton has long been committed to building affordable housing and this commitment shows in the fact that we have already made significant progress in meeting the obligation set by the court through projects such as AvalonBay, Mer w ick Stanwor th, and others. The obligation number set by Judge Jacobsen is well within the range of what we were expecting, and we feel confident we will be able to present a plan to the court that meets that obligation, adds needed diversity, and energizes our local economy through smart growth planning.” Affordable housing advocates called the ruling a victory for New Jersey families. “Judge Jacobson’s decision recognizes the

very substantial need for homes for working families and people with disabilities in New Jersey,” said Kevin Walsh, executive director of the Fair Share Housing Center, in a statement March 9. “This ruling sends a strong message to any town still seeking to exclude working families that they won’t succeed. While we are still examining the impact of this decision and disagree with some of the ruling, this decision is the latest development in a process that is laying the groundwork for tens of thousands of new homes to address New Jersey’s housing affordability crisis.” At a Council meeting on March 12, Lempert said, “We are gratified to read in the press Fair Share Housing’s positive statements about Judge Jacobson’s ruling. We agree that the housing obligation number found for Princeton is reasonable. We look forward to moving on to the planning and building process as part of our continuing commitment to affordable housing. We are working on putting forward a sustainable, smar t g row t h plan.” Nearly 200 municipali-

ties have reached settlements on affordable housing obligations. More than 100 have not yet settled. Those that have reached agreements include Hamilton, Hopewell, Ew ing, Bridgewater, Mount Laurel, and Edison. Empty strip malls, industrial sites, and office parks are on target to be turned into new communities, according to Fair Share Housing. “Shovels are already in the ground to build more hom e s for New Jer s ey families,” Walsh said in the statement. “Today’s d e c i s i o n d e m o n s t r a te s that towns which continue to resist the New Jersey Constitution’s fair housing requirements will not be rewarded for further obstruction and delay. We expect there will be more settlements but are prepared to go to trial again to ensure that every town in New Jersey is following the Constitution and putting plans in place that finally provide the homes that New Jersey families have been waiting for.” Princeton and West Windsor have to provide compliance plans to the court in June. A compliance hearing will take place July 24. —Anne Levin

Shown here with Mayor Liz Lempert, Simone was given an award of recognition for his work during the past 11 years — helping with snow removal, cutting grass, working in garden plots, and more. Simone grew up in Princeton and graduated from St. Paul’s School. “I love this town,” he said when accepting the award. “I work all summer, and I’m working this summer, too.”

Resident Suggests That PSE&G Switch From Exterior to Underground Lines To the Editor: It was heartening indeed to hear of the gallant and successful efforts of PSE&G workers to rescue an elderly lady from her all-electric home. However, if the lines were underground the power would not have been lost. Maybe it is cheaper, as PSE&G claims, to keep repairing downed lines rather than burying them, but it is not cheaper for residents and the inconvenience is enormous. European countries do not have this problem. Maybe Princeton council can do something to push PSE&G into the 20th century or even the 21st! HElEn Goddard Maxwell lane

In January, Princeton Theological Seminary agreed to increase its annual contributions from $72,000 to $90,000. Princeton University makes an annual contribution to the municipality and also pays taxes on a number of its properties, many of which could be taken off the tax rolls. “We are very thankful for the partnership with the Institute for advanced Study,” said dafna Kendal, chair of the board’s ad hoc revenue committee. “Their five-year commitment to contribute to the district’s operating budget is meaningful. They expressed an interest in further developing the partnership in a variety of ways.” With growing enrollment, plans for a new 5/6 school and expansion of Princeton High School, and a facilities bond referendum scheduled for october 2 this year, PPS continues to seek funding sources. “The committee has had conversations with other nonprofits/tax-exempt entities in town about ways in which they could further support Princeton Public Schools,” Kendal added. “I am optimistic that we will be able to build on these partnerships for the benefit of our students, programs, and taxpayers.” In addition to this announced contribution, the

Princeton Residents In March For Our Lives

as part of the national mobilization called March for our lives, a Princeton rally initiated by Princeton High School senior dziyana Zubialevich will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 24 on the green at the rear of Palmer Square in front of the nassau Inn. The Princeton event is one of over 800 across the country being held that day in solidarity with the national march and the high school students from Parkland, Florida, where a mass shooting took place on February 14, killing 17 and wounding 14. Zubialevich is partnering with the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace action (CFPa), which is a co-sponsor of the event. CFPa is also sending two buses to the national March for our lives in Washington, d.C. on Saturday, with a limited number of seats left. reserve online at peace coalition.org or call (609) 924-5022. “according to Everytown for Gun Safety, there have been more than 300 school shootings in t he United States since 2013,” said Zubialevich. “Knowing this, it is easy for individuals to feel as if they have no control over the issue. However the students in Parkland have inspired me as well as hundreds of others across the country to take action and work towards change instead of giving up. “organizing this march and seeing the immense support from organizations as well as individuals in the area has been amazing, and I am excited to see people of all ages, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds come together and work towards common-sense gun laws.” CFPa Executive director the rev. Bob Moore added, “We are pleased to invite those who support commonsense gun safety measures, such as a national assault weapons ban and universal background checks, to attend the Princeton rally or reser ve for our buses and join us in Washington on March 24. We are especially excited to support the leadership of young people demanding such commonsense steps, and urge the public to join us.”

Six months ago, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded Sustainable Pr inceton $100,000 to come up with a Climate Action Plan for the town. The grant enables the organization to partner with the municipality to create strategies that will prepare for a future of dramatically increasing climate change. The public can hear about efforts so far on Tuesday, March 27, from 7- 8 :30 p.m. at Maeder Hall, in the Andingler Center on the Princeton University campus. Labeled a “Great Ideas Event,” the presentation is titled “Princeton’s Carbon Footprint: What is Our Impact on Climate Change?” Meanwhile, Sustainable Princeton reported to the municipality on its efforts at the March 12 meeting of Princeton Council. The organization’s program director Christine Symington gave an overview of what has been done so far — since Princeton adopted a Sustainability Plan in 2009 — and outlined where further work is most needed. The Climate Action Plan focuses not just on the effects of increasing storms, but on key issues such as dow ntow n parking, the B i ke Mas ter Pla n, t h e court-ordered construction of more affordable housing, and the school district expansion referendum. Touching on goals for greening the built environment, Symington said one issue frequently mentioned is that the permit-

ting process can be lengthy for developers planning to incorporate green building practices. “We’re working now on drafting a green building element to be added to the town’s master plan,” she said. As for affordable housing, “we believe there is a way to build affordable housing in a very sustainable way that meets the needs of the community.” Improving transpor tation and mobility through Princeton is another goal. Citing the Bike Plan and recent parking studies, Sy m ing ton said, “Con tinuing these things are only going to help make Princeton more sustainable. The cost of electric vehicles is coming down,” both for single automobiles and fleets, she added. “We need to prepare for the shift away from car ownership. Car sharing and autonomous vehicles are the way of the future.” The recent registry of the Princeton Public Library on New Jersey’s Sustainable Business Registry brings the number of Princeton organizations on the list to 14, “the most in the state,” said Symington. Provided cer t a i n m e as u re s have been taken to be more sustainable, any business can get on the list. A key goal of the plan is protecting environmental health and resources. The town needs to be prepared for issues similar to the invasion last year of the emerald ash borer on trees. The town’s “do not plant” list, issued last year, should be followed. As for recycling, “Space is an issue in the downtown business area,” Symington said. “It is a tough nut to crack, but I believe we can crack it” with further education about local recycling laws. The plan deals with strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A baseline inventory is now underway, tracking data on emissions. Buildings and facilities are responsible for the highest rate of emissions, followed by the employee commute, street lights and traffic signals, the vehicle fleet, and the transit fleet. What can the municipalit y do now? Symington suggested utilizing state

incentives and rebates to update things like LED lighting, t he continued pursuit of solar energy initiatives, and the purchasing of electric vehicles. “We expect that with the new [state] administration, funding will be available,” she said. “When it is, we should be ready to act on it and implement it.” Key to the plan’s future is input from the public. The first session for that will be in April at a date and location to be announced. And on May 16, a program on the plan will be presented at Princeton Public Library. —Anne Levin

It comes from the acai palm tree, which is native to Central and South America. This berry spoils extremely fast when harvested, so it is always immediately processed and frozen. This is why it is relatively new to America’s diet as it has not been easy to import. While there are many claims for it being a super fruit — it can aid in weight loss and help with other medical issues — one thing is abundantly clear, it is a key part to a healthy diet. Finding new, fresh tasting, and healthy ingredients that common people find enjoyable to eat is incredibly hard. Often times “health food” is not the epitome of flavor, which is certainly not the case with acai. When our founder, Brooke Gagliano, first tried acai berry pure, she was floored. Brooke is an extremely driven person who had endeavored and succeeded in becoming a top collegiate athlete by training hard and living a healthy lifestyle. But that healthy lifestyle was not always filled with pleasant tastes. After college, Brooke

was searching for what she could do in life to meld what she had committed most of her life towards and a career. After trying acai for the first time on a vacation, she immediately began to incorporate it into her daily meals at home, and from there Frutta Bowls was born.

BOOK REVIEW

Celebrating Bach’s Birthday: From Leipzig to Princeton and Back Again

o do justice to the music of Bach, you should “listen, play, love, revere, and keep your trap shut.” This in-your-face edict from Albert Einstein was scrawled in the margin of a letter, according to John Eliot Gardiner’s biography Bach: Music in the Castle of Heaven (Knopf 2013). Curious to see the German equivalent of “Keep your trap shut,” I checked online and came up with “Halte deine Falle geschlossen,” which seemed unlikely (too wordy) compared to “Halt die Klappe!” or “Halt den Schnabel!” What ultimately matters is that March 21 is Bach’s birthday and rather than obeying Einstein, I’m plunging ahead in respect of the birthday equation, Einsten 3-14/ Bach 3-21. “Now We’re Ready for Bach!” During a chamber music recital at the home of a New York philanthropist, a young writer named Jerome finds himself sitting next to Albert Einstein, who asks him, “You are fond of Bach?” When Jerome says he knows nothing about Bach, confessing that he’s tone-deaf, Einstein leads him out of the drawing room (people are staring) to a book-lined study, where the young man is asked if there’s any kind of music he likes. Jerome says songs with words, popular songs, so Einstein finds a Bing Crosby record, puts it on the phonograph, and asks Jerome to describe what he just heard. All Jerome can do is to sing it, and so he does, staying in tune. Einstein is delighted — ”You see!” he cries. “You do have an ear.” After repeating the process with several gradually more sophisticated samples, from a Caruso aria to a classical piece, each of which his captive student is able to either sing or hum in tune, Einstein says, “Now, young man, we are ready for Bach!” And down they go to the drawing room in time to hear the chamber ensemble play Bach’s “Sheep May Safely Gaze.” Jerome listens, loves it, reveres it, and keeps his trap shut. Asked by the upset hostess why the guest of honor walked out in the middle of the recital, Einstein tells her that he and his young friend were engaged in “the greatest activity of which man is capable. Opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty.” Bach in Princeton Six years ago in William Scheide’s Princeton home I spent a minute pondering the portrait of Bach painted by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, from life, in 1748. Viewed in domestic surroundings, the portrait acquires another, more familiar dimension. Bach is there, he’s 63, alive and well, color in his cheeks, light in his eyes. In “Under the Cantor’s Gaze,” the first chapter of Gardiner’s biography, you discover that long before the Haussmann portrait was sold to Scheide at auction in 1952, it held “pride of place” on the first-floor landing of Bach’s future biographer’s childhood home. A music teacher who came to Dorset from Lower Silesia in 1936 had given the portrait to the Gardiner family “for safe keeping,” figuring that its chances of surviving an air raid

were better in a country home. Thus the child who would one day perform, conduct, and write about Bach passed by the portrait every night on his way to bed, doing his best to avoid the Cantor’s “forbidding stare.” Sixty years later, Gardiner came to Princeton for another, closer look. Recalling his childhood impression of the painting’s “stern, impassive, and slightly forbidding” aspect, Gardiner was struck by “how astutely Haussmann had captured opposed facets of his sitter’s character: the serious and the sensual.” The gaze was “intense but far livelier” than he remembered. His overall impression was of “someone a lot more complex, nuanced,

“the unusually soft-toned instrumentation,” “the yearning dissonance” given to the two violas da gamba, and the “ravishing way” the two recorders “entwine and exchange adjacent notes, slipping in and out of unison.” With a world of music still ahead of him, Bach is contemplating death, grief, and salvation. Having listened to and watched several performances of the cantata online, I find the quality Gardiner refers to most movingly expressed in a public recital posted with English subtitles on a site called Holy Poverty. It’s not merely that the wavering, tenuously sustained playing by the two recorders in the opening sequence is “heart-rending,” it’s the sense

and, above all, human [Gardiner’s emphasis] than the formal portrait of a public figure.” Composed at 22 Gardiner is still grappling with his use of the word forbidding when he admits that Bach “can seem a little remote at times” even to his most ardent admirers and that his widely acknowledged genius as a musician may be “just too far out of reach for most of us to comprehend.” Looking for an example of the vulnerability of a composer “struggling with an ordinary person’s doubts, worries, and perplexities,” Gardiner chooses a work composed when Bach was only 22, the Actus tragicus cantata ( “God’s own time is the very best of times”) whose opening sonatina “comprises twenty of the most heart-rending bars in all of his works.” Gardiner stresses

that both the musicians and the composer are finding their way. The two men playing the recorders, one white-haired, the other young and earnest, sway with the music, weaving and being woven into the same somber processional, moving within a stately absolute that at once expresses and transcends the sacred occasion. During a rehearsal toward the end of the video, as the conductor and several of the musicians discuss the piece, the elder recorder player says that it’s the “least flexible instrument” and “the most difficult to play in tune, even when you’re alone,” the tone rising or sinking to a small degree so that “you always get interference between the two.” Addressing the conductor, he adds, “We’ll try to play in tune tonight, but not quite in tune.” Referring to “these dissonances, like hands wringing, almost,” the conductor says that Bach “never does that Fri. 03/23/18 to Thurs. 03/29/18

anywhere else. Never again. He did it at 22, and that’s all. Very distressing, isn’t it? But it’s an extraordinary moment.” According to Alfred Dürr, the principal editor of the Complete Works of Bach, the Actus tragicus is “a piece of world literature.” Crazy for Coffee At the close of his discussion of Bach’s “so-called Coffee Cantata” and the craze for coffee in Leipzig, where by 1725 eight coffee houses had opened their doors, Gardiner quotes “a proverb of the day” that says “A good coffee must be as hot as the kisses of a girl on the first day, as sweet as her love on the third day, and as black as her mother’s curses when she finds out about it.” There are several online performances of the cantata wherein a father scolds his daughter (“You naughty child, you wild girl, get rid of coffee for my sake!”) and she stands her ground: “Ah! how sweet coffee tastes, more delicious than a thousand kisses, smoother than muscatel wine.” Bach’s Riddle The Haussmann portrait serves Gardiner as an entry and exit point, not only in the biography but to some extent in his own life, since six decades would pass before he saw the painting again in William Scheide’s living room. After his observations about the “serious and sensual” facets, Gardiner focuses on a hidden message: “In his right hand, Bach holds a page of music — a ‘Canon triplex à 6 voc.’” According to Gardiner, this canon is one of 14 that Bach transcribed on the back of his copy of the Goldberg Variations: “Apart from its intellectually challenging title, the puzzle lies in the way we read its three lines.” When read as Bach seems to present it, written in alto, tenor, and bass clefs, the result is “pleasant enough but ever so slightly banal,” which doesn’t explain why Bach would have wanted Haussmann to paint him holding this particular sheet of manuscript (“Bach’s expression seems to say, ‘Look more closely: my music doesn’t yield all its secrets in a single glance”). Gardiner solves the riddle by in effect turning the sheet upside down in order to read the music from Bach’s actual vantage point. By a process of deduction too elaborate to repeat in a family newspaper, the biographer discovers “the never ending loop — a canon perpetuus,” meaning “the music never resolves,” a precursor to Joyce’s formula for Finnegan’s Wake. o we follow the loop back to Princeton, the home of the physicist musician born 3-14 and of William Scheide, another of Bach’s admirers, who bequeathed the Haussmann portrait to the Bach archive, making sure that the best known image of the composer returned to his home city Leipzig. —Stuart Mitchner

The Einstein anecdote is paraphrased from Jerome Weidman’s “My Most Unforgettable Character” piece in the November 1955 Reader’s Digest, “The Night I Met Einstein.” Thanks once again to the Princeton Public Library where I found the books and music mentioned here.

“Anthropology of Becoming” Continues Migrations Series

Joao Biehl, Arcadio Diaz-Quinones, and Adriana Petr yna will be at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, March 28 at 6 p.m. to talk about Biehl’s Unfinished: The Anthropology of Becoming (Duke Univ. Press), which explores the plasticity and unfinishedness of human subjects and lifeworlds, advancing the conceptual terrain of an anthropology of becoming. This event is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Anthropology Department and is part of the Princeton Migrations Series. Robert Desjarlais, author of Subject to Death: Life and Loss in a Buddhist World, calls it “A r ich, timely, and important work, Unfinished articulates the philosophical terms of an approach to anthropology that attends to becoming and generativity in life in a number of ethnographic contexts. By creatively exploring and employing the formation of Gilles Deleuze’s ideas, Unfinished offers an integrative relation between philosophical theory and anthropological thought in superbly original and lasting ways.” João Biehl is professor of anthropology at Princeton University and the author of Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment and Will to Live: AIDS Therapies and the Politics of Survival. Arcadio Diaz-Quinones is professor emeritus

Storytelling/Music Event At Labyrinth March 26

Phonographic Memory: An Evening of Music and Stories will take place at Labyrinth Books on Monday, March 16 at 6 p.m. Phonographic Memory is a storytelling event dedicated to examining and celebrating the human experience as framed through vinyl records. Presenters will be given 10-12 minutes to tell a personal story about a record in their collection, and then play a song from that album. The program was started in San Francisco in 2014, with free monthly events hosted in public libraries and venues throughout the city. A coinciding podcast, available on PhonographicMemory. org, iTunes, and Stitcher, archives stories from these events. Anyone interested in sharing a story and song at the March 26 event should send an email with full name and a brief synopsis of the

story to Register@ PhonographicMemory.org. All are welcome, with or without stories. Phonog raph ic Memor y is the brainchild of Corey Bloom, who just moved to Princeton from San Francisco and will be hosting the Labyrinth event.

Dolan, Cadden Discussing Wendy Wasserstein March 27

Jill Dolan and Michael Cadden will be discussing Dolan’s new book, Wendy Wasserstein (Univ. of Michigan Press), at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday, March 27 at 6 p.m. The event is co-sponsored by Princeton Un iver s it y’s H u m a n it i e s Council. Playwright Wendy Wasserstein (1950–2006), author of The Heidi Chronicles, wrote topical, humorous plays addressing relationships among women and their families, taking the temperature of social moments from the 1960s onward to debate women’s rightful place in their professional and personal lives. Wasserstein’s plays continue to be produced on Broadway and in regional theaters around the country and the world. Her emergence as a popular dramatist in the 1970s paralleled the emergence of the second-wave feminist movement in the United States, a cultural context reflected in the themes of her plays. Wendy Wasserstein provides a critical introduction and a feminist reappraisal of the major plays of one of the most famous contemporar y American women play wrights and situates Wasserstein’s work in the

history of the U.S. feminist movement and in a historical moment in which women artists continue to struggle for recognition. Jill Dolan is dean of the College, Annan Professor of English, and professor of theatre at Princeton University. She received the George Jean Nathan Award for her blog, The Feminist Spectator, and is the author of Utopia in Performance: Finding Hope in the Theater and of Presence and Desire: Essays in Gender, Sexuality, Performance. Michael Cadden is chair and acting director of the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton, as well as senior lecturer in theater.

Trenton Library Hosts Black Women Authors

Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson (D-Mercer/Hunterdon) will host a Black Women Authors’ Showcase at the Trenton Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 22 in honor of International Women’s Day. The event will feature Marie Antoinette, author of A Girl Named Job; Gail Talliaferro, author of The Tally Family; and Yolanda Landy Robinson, author of Don’t Be Bitter, Be Better. Talliaferro will host a reading circle for her children’s book, while Antoinette and Robinson will discuss the inspiration behind their books. “I encourage all residents to join us for this event and hear from these entrepreneurial women who will be sharing their journeys,” said Reynolds-Jackson. “We want this event not only to celebrate women doing amazing

things, but hopefully serve as an inspiration to those who aspire to greater and more meaningful things in life, but have been too afraid to take that leap of faith.”

Patrick Henry Subject Of David Library Talk

The David Library of the American Revolution will present a lecture by Jon Kukla, author of the new book, Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty, on Thursday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. The David Library is located at 1201 River Road, Washington Crossing, Pa. The title of Kukla’s talk, “Patrick Henry: ‘His eloquence is the smallest part of his mer it,’” refers to Henry’s reputation as the great orator of the American Revolution. “Everyone knows Henry for his ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ speech,” says Kukla, “but to his contemporaries, he was

known as so much more. Governor, legislator, lawyer, and statesman — his leadership in the coming of independence and the founding of the republic from the 1760s through the 1790s has long been overshadowed by his eloquence.” Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty is a recent Bookof-the-Month Book Club selection, and a finalist for this year’s George Washington Prize. Kukla’s previous books are Mr. Jefferson’s Women and A Wilderness So Immense: The Louisiana Purchase and the Destiny of America. Lectures at the Library are free, but reservations are required, and can be made by calling (215) 493-6776 ext. 100, or by sending an email to rsvp@dlar.org.

MASTER WOODWORKER: Mira Nakashima, the daughter of legendary furniture sculptor George Nakashima, will tell the story of her family’s woodworking legacy on Thursday, March 22 at 9 p.m. at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center in Princeton. The talk will be followed by a signing of her book, “Nature, Form, and Spirit: The Life and Legacy of George Nakashima.”

D&R Greenway Land Trust presents a special evening with renow ned furniture designer Mira Nakashima on Thursday, March 22 (doors open 6:30 p.m., talk begins at 7 p.m.) at the Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place, Princeton. Admission costs $10 person. Mira Nakashima, the daughter of legendary furniture sculptor George Nakashima, will tell the story of the family’s woodworking legacy, followed by a signing of her book, Nature, Form, and Spirit: The Life and Legacy of George Nakashima. Nakashima pieces will be displayed and available for purchase, including a three-legged stool, candle holders, pencil holders, and bread boards. A second book will also be available for sale, titled The Soul of a Tree : A Master Woodworker’s Reflections. The

a Tree,” on view through April 20. Artists include Tasha O’Neill, John Napoli, Michael Pascucci, and Sean Carney. RSVP at (609) 9244646 or rsvp@drgreenway. org. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Mira Nakashima was a dedicated pupil who worked in the shadow of her father. “He had meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail,” she recounts. George Nakashima (19051990) is best known for his superb craftsmanship and organic use of the natural lines and grain of the wood. Nakashima was also an architect who designed a number of distinguished buildings during his career, and was committed to the natural world. Both Mira and her father paid utmost respect to the tree the wood came from. He believed there was a spirit in the tree. “I feel it in the grain of the wood,” he

said, as he shaped the wood to tell its story. But when George died, many clients canceled their orders or demanded a discount because the pieces wouldn’t have his pedigree. For a time, Mira, who holds two degrees in architecture, thought she would have to shutter the family business. Mira not only continued to fulfill orders for her father’s classics, but also expanded the firm’s repertory with designs of her own that, like his, showcase the natural form and character of wood. When she designs a piece, she stands in front of the wood she will use to draw her sketch. “It speaks to me,” she says. “The wood guides the pencil, and it designs itself.” She continues to manage the Bucks County studio, George Nakashima Woodworkers, where she feels her father’s spirit watching over her, making sure she does it right. “Dad always said wood was like fruit,” she has said. “It was best just before it rots.” “This is a unique opportunity to both own a Nakashima piece of art and support conservation of trees and forests,” says D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead. “Ten years ago, when Mira presented here at the Johnson Education Center, there was standing room only. People went away in awe, inspired by the connection to nature found in the woodwork. We decided to offer this opportunity, once again, to experience woodworking as one would experience the sacred space of a forest.”

HomeFront’s ArtJam Coming to Palmer Square

HomeFront’s ArtJam, a fun and funky pop up art gallery, will feature professional artists, undiscovered artists who have experienced homelessness, and the community at large in a celebration of creativity. It starts Friday, April 13, when a storefront on Palmer Square in Princeton will be transformed into a display of talent. Now in its ninth year, ArtJam has grown to over 100 participating artists, including Judith Brodsky, Jon Sarkin, and Cynthia Groya. Works from these well-known artists will be displayed alongside the works of HomeFront clients

who have limited means and enormous talents. “If you visit, you can feel good twice,” says Ruthann Traylor, director of ArtSpace/ SewingSpace. “You can buy art you’ll love, and you can feel good that the money you spend is going to a cause you can believe in — helping homeless families get back on their feet.” ArtJam benefits ArtSpace, HomeFront’s innovative therapeutic art program. The pop-up gallery will feature a rotating collection of art for sale and meetand-greets with the artists. A wide variety of unique creations will be displayed, including paintings, pottery, glassworks, jewelr y, and hand-sewn items from SewingSpace, another HomeFront art program. Visitors can shop for one-of-a-kind pieces while helping aspiring artists with each purchase. The ArtJam opening reception on Friday, April 13 is open to the public from 5 to 9 p.m. at 19 Hulfish Street, Palmer Square in Princeton. For a full calendar of ArtJam events, go to www.homefrontnj.org/artjam. Gallery hours are Monday through Wednesday, noon to 6 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. The gallery is open from Friday, April 13 to Sunday, April 29. Since its founding 27 years ago, HomeFront has worked to end family homelessness in Central New Jersey by breaking the cycle of poverty through the provision of shelter, skills for a selfsustaining life, and hope. HomeFront has developed a sophisticated network of supportive housing and social services for very lowincome households who are either homeless or at high risk of becoming so. ArtSpace tries to open doors to new ways of thinking for HomeFront clients, fostering their creativity, self-esteem, and confidence, and helping to set them on a path to achieve independence. The artists learn to reveal their voice and feel joy in their accomplishments. Paired with training in art is teaching of entrepreneurial skills, empowering the artists to see value in their work as it is admired and purchased by others. ArtJam is one such venue for them to exhibit and sell their work.

“Impressions: Prints of sions: Prints of Mexico, 1930s- tensive collection of works on Mexico” at Zimmerli Museum 40s/Impresiones: Estampas de paper with additional loans,

During the 1930s and 1940s, artists captured the world’s imagination by portraying Mexico as a leading cultural destination, home to an internationally-renowned muralist movement and a vibrant printmaking community. The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers focuses on this critical juncture in art history with “Impres-

México, 1930s-40s” featuring 37 prints by Mexican, American, and European artists who promoted a romantic and idealized country during an era of radical change, which has shaped an enduring vision of Mexico in the American imagination. The exhibition, primarily drawn from the Zimmerli’s ex-

runs through July 29. Most of the works are on view for the first time, with all of the wall texts and labels in English and Spanish. “This exhibition takes a broad, transnational approach to consider the transmission of art between Mexico and the United States during the early 20th century,” notes Nicole Simpson, the Zimmerli’s assistant curator of prints and drawings. “It demonstrates how traditions from the neighboring countries have contributed to the multifaceted definition of what is deemed ‘Mexican’ art.”

This exhibition focuses on the important role that prints played during the 1930s and 1940s in perpetuating the idea of Mexico as a country steeped in tradition. Stylistically, the prints range from socio-realist, documentary views, to works that draw upon the ancient forms of Mesoamerican art, as well as forward-looking subjects that incorporate modernist compositions and Cubistinspired shapes. This exhibition is divided into three sections that reflect internal and external perspectives of a rich cultural heritage. Admission is free to the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers. It is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick.

MUSIC REVIEW

The Vocal Ensemble Tenebrae Dazzles Audience With an A Cappella Work

nyone who thinks that choral music does not sell was not at last Thursday night’s concert at the Princeton University Chapel, where an ensemble of 18 singers not only sold out the 2,000-seat space but also mesmerized the audience with a head-spinning landscape of vocal sound. The Londonbased professional vocal ensemble Tenebrae, comprised of members of the choirs of Westminster Abbey, King’s College Cambridge, two major British opera houses, and led by Nigel Short, has a strong connection to Princeton University through member Gabriel Crouch, who is Princeton’s Director of Choral Activities. Tenebrae came to Princeton last Thursday night fresh from an appearance at a regional choral convention, where the chorus brought down the 3,000-listener house with a 65-minute a cappella contemporary work depicting the pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago. Also known as the Way of Saint James, the network of ancient Roman pilgrimage routes across Europe comes together at the Tomb of St. James in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. English composer Joby Talbot (who was in the audience Thursday night) set texts of 20th-century English author Robert Dickinson, passages from the Bible and other medieval writings, into Path of Miracles, a seamless musical depiction of the physical and spiritual journey of the pilgrim along the Camino, resting along the way via four movements representing the main posts along the route. Tenebrae, which commissioned Path of Miracles, was supposed to have premiered the work in July 7, 2005, the day of the London subway bombings. Path of Miracles received its premiere ten days later as part of a City of London Festival as the city and country pulled together. For Thursday night’s performance in Princeton, Tenebrae set the mood in the University Chapel with candles in the chancel area and used the entire space of the Chapel to present this piece depicting great wanderings. The work began with the tenors and basses in the front of the Chapel and the women of the ensemble in the rear of the sanctuary. Talbot began the story with a chant using a vocal effect based on the “Pasiputput” from the aboriginal Bunun tribe of Taiwan. The men produced vocal overtones and glissandos, gradually raising pitches

SIR JAMES GALWAY AND LADY JEANNE GALWAY: On March 26 at 7:30 p.m., flutist Sir James Galway will perform at McCarter Theatre, accomplanied by Lady Jeanne Galway, also on the flute, and pianist Michael McHale. This will be his second return to the McCarter stage since 1999. Sir James Galway’s appeal transcends all musical boundaries, as evidenced by his discography of 97 albums, which collectively have sold some 30 million copies and constitute the benchmark for all modern flutists — not bad for a working-class kid from Belfast who just celebrated his 75th birthday. Reflecting on a career that began more than 50 years ago, he says, “I do not consider myself as having mastered the flute, but I get a real kick out of trying.” Tickets range from $57.50 to $89. For more information, call (609) 258-2787 or visit mccarter.org.

through a continuous stream of intense chords answered by the sopranos and altos. Dickenson’s words, combined with texts in seven languages, went by quickly, but the sung chords were precise. The women joined the men in the front of the Chapel in the second movement, and as the singers moved about the Chapel, one could hear the real strength and power of Tenebrae — all participants sang with a light and spinning vibrato, fully confident in their independence as singers, and creating a jaw-dropping performance effect by maintaining exact tuning for more than 60 minutes. Throughout the piece, the singers of Tenebrae sent pure vocal sound throughout the Chapel, using repetitive passages to show a medieval pathway well worn, and arriving at peace as the journey is finished. Much of the key text was expertly introduced by counter-tenor Tom Lilburn, and bass Jimmy Holliday recalled the ancient churches of Russia in his low bass singing of Latin text from the Chapel’s pulpit. Soprano Emilia Morton showed an astoundingly consistent ability to float high-register passages through the Chapel’s gothic space with a pure sound like icing over the choral palette. lthough Path of Miracles was the cornerstone of the program, Tenebrae has paired this work in past performances with another piece about traveling. Also the result of a commission by the ensemble, English composer Owain Park’s Footsteps conveys the story of the seasons through the eyes of a traveler, with texts by eight different authors. Conducted by Short, Tenebrae was joined in the performance of Footsteps by Crouch’s Princeton University Glee Club and the two-year-old Morse Chorale, which was created by a partnership between the Morse Summer Music Academy and Yale Music in Schools Initiative. The 24 singers of the Morse Chorale and the solid University Glee Club provided a light and precise sound to complement Tenebrae, which acted as a semi-chorus in Park’s fusion of texts and musical styles from a variety of cultures. With both of these very contemporary and challenging pieces, it was clear that Princeton University Director of Choral Activities Gabriel Crouch is on the cutting edge of bringing new choral music to the forefront. —Nancy Plum

CINEMA REVIEW

Gay Teen Is Forced Out of the Closet in Dramatic Comedy

imon Spier (Nick Robinson) would tell you that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a typical teen, except for the fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding one huge secret. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gay, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told his parents (Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Garner) or any of his friends. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even dated a female classmate (Cassady McClincy) at Creekwood High to keep up the charade. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well aware of the merciless teasing waiting for anybody who is brave enough to come out of the closet after witnessing the fate of Ethan (Clark Moore), who was bullied at the school after he revealed his sexual orientation. Simon keeps his equilibrium by anonymously visiting an LGBTQ-friendly blog where he has found another gay student from Creekwood High. At first, they only support each other, however, over time their friendship blossoms into love. However, since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both using pseudonyms Simon has no idea who â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blueâ&#x20AC;? is because both of them are understandably hesitant to reveal their true identities. The plot thickens when Simon stops using a school ______________ computer and forgets to log out of the website he was _______________ Date & Time: ______________________ visiting. The next user, Martin (Logan Miller), figures out that Simon is gay, and starts threatening to out him. our ad, scheduled to run ___________________.

Initially, Simon tries to satisfy the blackmailerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands, since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to come out of the closet on his own terms. But that proves impossible when Martin loses his patience and spills the beans to the entire student body. That is Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awkward predicament in Love, Simon, the best gay-themed movie since Call Me by Your Name which just won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The movie is based on the novel, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. The picture was directed by Greg Nerlanti (Life as We Know It), who handles the delicate subject matter sensitively and sensibly. If this heartwarming teen-oriented film is any indication of how Hollywood plans to handle homosexuality in the future, the culture has truly turned a corner in terms of teaching tolerance of sexual preferences. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for profanity, underage drinking, sexuality, and mature themes. Running time: 109 minutes. Production Studios: Fox 2000 Pictures/ Temple Hill Entertainment/Twisted Media/New Leaf Literary & Media. Distributor: 20th Century Fox. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kam Williams

An African American Teenager Finds Her Heritage in “Crowns”; Regina Taylor’s Uplifting Musical Returns to McCarter Theatre

olanda, an edgy Chicago teenager, is grieving over the loss of her brother, who has been shot. She has been sent to South Carolina to live with her grandmother, Mother Shaw, who introduces Yolanda to a group of women at her church. Each of these women has a unique life story — and hat, or “crown.” Crowns is playing at McCarter’s Matthews Theatre. For its 2002-03 season McCarter commissioned the show from playwright Regina Taylor, who has updated the script for this production, which she has directed. The revisions include changing Yolanda’s home from Brooklyn to Chicago, and giving her a musical language consisting largely of hip-hop. This iteration of the musical previously played Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in 2012. The show is based on Michael Cunningham and Craig Marberry’s photography book Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats. The volume features quotes from interviews in which the subjects discussed the significance of their hats. “Sundays are a precious gift to hardworking women … if the woman is African American, she has some fancy hatboxes on a shelf in her closet,” Maya Angelou writes in the book’s foreword. “She leaves home and joins the company of her mothers and aunties and sisters and nieces and daughters … they stroll up and down the aisles of the church, stars of splendor, beauty beyond measurement.” Initially, Yolanda is the only character wearing a hat: her baseball cap. There is a sense that she has not yet earned the right to wear her hat, by understanding the importance of doing so. Eventually the other characters’ “crowns” are lowered from above the stage. Yolanda tells us that her mother has sent her to South Carolina in the hopes that Mother Shaw can “open my eyes.” Mother Shaw initially is ambivalent about her role as caregiver: “I may be a little rusty at this raising up a child thing … but I think we can work it out. Though there’s got to be some rules.” The lively, wry song “The Hat Queen Rules” is an example of deft writing in the show. The title has a dual meaning: “rules” refers to being in command, but also to regulations which one must obey. These include, “never hug a hat queen without leaving space ‘til the hat queen tilts”; and avoid touching a woman’s hat, because “all the time you spend fixing it on your head just right is gone just like that.” As with the book, the women in the musical share the memories of which their hats are a symbol. One theme of Crowns is the extent to which a cherished object can be associated with important memories or family history, and be part of one’s identity. Taylor’s addition of Yolanda provides a unifying focal point, and a dramatic arc.

THE OFFICE STORE

28 Spring St, Princeton

Mabel is a preacher’s wife, played by Danielle K. Thomas. She wears hats every Sunday “because I want to set an example. As the first lady of the church, if I came in there in dresses with splits all the way up my leg, then I couldn’t ever tell the young women that this or that is not appropriate.” Velma, portrayed by Latice Crawford, is a funeral director who often buries women in their hats. She wears her own hat because “When I look at myself in a hat, I see my mother.” Wanda, who is played by Stephanie Pope, is the granddaughter of a “hat queen,” a woman who owns more than a hundred hats. Her grandmother “wore them religiously. Fur hats, velvet hats, straw hats. You name it, I liked them all.” Jeanette, who is played by Rebecca E. Covington, cherishes a hat she procured while working in the cosmetics section of a department store. “Some women at church have asked to borrow this hat. But I’d lend them my children before I’d lend my hat.” Lawrence Clayton is versatile in his multiple roles as Man, who portrays all the men in the show. He most often is seen in the guise of a preacher, though he also portrays — in flashbacks — Mother Shaw’s husband and Mabel’s father. The production has invited soloists from the community to perform, on a rotating basis. The soloist for this performance was Twanda Muslim, whose rendition of “How I Got Over” was stirring. The singing by the regular cast is uniformly strong. Each of the performers has an attractive voice and a gift for musical phrasing. The cast members’ voices blend well, and the ensemble numbers are particularly pleasing. As Yolanda, Gabrielle Beckford nimbly finesses her character’s journey from a tough,

grieving outsider to a refreshed member of the community. Her performance is complemented by that of Shari Addison, whose portrayal of Mother Shaw is kindly yet authoritative. Taylor has given Crowns the structure of a worship service. The scenes are given titles such as “Processional,” and we witness both a funeral and a baptism. Whereas ancient Greek theatre honored the god Dionysus, Crowns explores two branches of spirituality: the Yoruba religion — each character in the musical is inspired by an orisha (spirit) — and Christianity. The costumes by Project Runway runner-up Emilio Sosa explore the connection between the characters and their orishas, and draw a distinction between Yolanda and the other women. Yolanda is the only character (besides Man) who wears pants, and the camouflage style matches her somewhat combative personality. Her pants are matched in color by her green shirt and black jacket. A red cap is her sole deviation from this color scheme. Green and red are associated with the Yoruba god Ogun, orisha of war and iron. In contrast to Yolanda’s subdued colors, the dresses — and hats — worn by the other women are vibrant and often shiny. Mother Shaw wears a dignified white outfit. Mabel’s outfit is black and bright red, Velma’s is a metallic purple, Wanda’s ornate dress is gold, while Jeanette’s is a sprightly blue. Man is inspired by Elegba, the orisha of crossroads; Elegba is associated with the colors red and black. This is reflected in Man’s black suit and red necktie, as well as a vestment he wears in his guise as a preacher. The musical score juxtaposes Yolanda’s rap idiom against the Gospel songs performed by the others, such as “When

the Saints Go Marching In.” At one point Mother Shaw speaks in rhymed dialogue, which represents her efforts to find common ground with Yolanda. Percussion is integral to the overall sound of the show. Beside music director (and cocomposer) Jaret Landon, who plays piano, keyboard, and trumpet, the only instrumentalist credited is David Pleasant, who is a Drumfolk Riddim specialist. In addition, the actors tap their feet. Most of the songs either are traditional or have been written by Landon, Pleasant, Deidre Murray, Chesney Snow, and Regina Taylor. The exceptions are “The Hat Queen Rules” (by Fred Carl and Kirsten Childs); “Time to Get Ready” (by Carol Maillard and Louise Robinson); “Run and Tell That” (by Landon and Jade Maya Lampert Smith); and “Too Many Hats” (by Gary Dennis Hines). As a director, Taylor develops her script’s exploration of immersion in — or self-exclusion from, a community. Her staging frequently places Yolanda at one side of the stage, where she conspicuously is apart from the other women. Early in the show, Yolanda often is alone when she occupies center stage. Imbued with a sense of ritual, the choreography by Dianne McIntyre further develops this theme. In one dance, Yolanda does not fully participate until the end, when she imitates the movements of the other characters. The moment marks the beginning of her participation in the community. Rasean Davonte Johnson’s projection design is effective in establishing scenic structure and locations, as well as accentuating the development of Yolanda’s character. Images of stained glass windows represent the church setting, while footage of trains considers Yolanda’s physical journey — from Chicago to South Carolina — as well as her spiritual odyssey. The projections also permit the audience to read the comments Yolanda is seen typing on her phone. The other women share their stories and thoughts exclusively in an oral form; letting some of Yolanda’s dialogue appear in written form further accentuates her differences from the other women. It also serves to document her emotional development. olanda’s visit with Mother Shaw has taught her to claim her heritage: “The more I study Africa, the more I see that African Americans do very African things without even knowing it. Adorning the head is one of those things … we just know inside that we’re queens. And these are the crowns we wear.” This energetic, inspirational show invites audiences to discover a fascinating aspect of African culture, while witnessing a spirited musical communion. —Donald H. Sanborn III

Sizzling PU Men’s Hockey Wins ECACH Title, Will Face Ohio State in NCAA Midwest Regional

ven though the Princeton University men’s hockey team entered the ECAC Hockey Final 4 last weekend at Lake Placid, N.Y. as the lowest remaining seed in the competition, Josh Teves didn’t view the Tigers as underdogs. “We have obviously been doing well in the playoffs and before that,” said junior defenseman Teves, reflecting on the team’s surge which saw it go 4-0 in the playoffs, outscoring Brown and Union by a total of 23-8 the first two rounds. “We just had a belief that if we played our game the right way and did things patiently and kept playing our game, no one could stop us.” That confidence proved well founded as seventhseeded Princeton defeated top-seeded and No. 2 Cornell 4-1 in the semis and then edged third-seeded and No. 10 Clarkson 2-1 in overtime in the championship game to earn the title and improve to 19-12-4. As a result, the Tigers will now compete in the NCAA tournament where they are the fourth seed in the Midwest Regional and will face top-seeded Ohio State (249-5) in a first round contest on March 24 in Allentown, Pa. with the winner advancing to the regional final the next day against the victor of the Denver-Penn State contest. The Tigers brought some good karma to Herb Brooks Arena as Princeton had won the ECACH titles in 1998 and 2008. “We had a celebration for the ’98 and ’08 teams a couple of weeks ago; we brought both teams back to campus and honored their wins 10 and 20 years ago, respectively,” said Teves, noting that Max Becker, the scorer of the game-winner against Clarkson wears No. 8 and is a member of the Class of 2018. “It was pretty interesting to be able to chat with those guys and the 10-year tradi-

tion. We kept that going, it was pretty cool.” It took a while for Princeton to get going on Friday as the Tigers fell behind Cornell 1-0 in the first period of the semi. “We came out a little nervous against Cornell. We know they play a great defensive game; they make it difficult for you all over the ice,” said Teves, a 6’0, 180pound native of Calgary, Alberta. “Once we got that first period under out belt, we felt that we were getting some momentum.” Teves helped spark momentum as he assisted on Princeton’s first goal of the contest, setting up a Liam Grande tally 8:51 into the second period. “It was a 3-on-3 rush but I didn’t really have much of a step on the guy so I took the pretty lively boards at the Herb Brooks Arena and put one off the end boards, aiming to get back into the middle for Liam,” recalled Teves. “He ended up putting it in, it went pretty well.” A night later, Teves got the Tigers on the board three minutes into the contest as he converted a feed from Ryan Kuffner. “That one was just using the big ice to our advantage,” said Teves, a thirdteam All-ECAC Hockey performer who leads the nation’s defensemen in points per game and now has 33 points on seven goals and 26 assists in 30 games. “I skated it up and gave it to Kuffner. He is a great player; I knew if I could get myself open he would give me an opportunity and that is exactly what he did. I busted down the middle there and he laid one in there for me. I put it on net, hoping we would get a chance out of it and it ended up going fivehole. We got an early one there and it got the game started on the right foot.” The Tigers led 1-0 until the waning seconds of the contest when the Golden Knights broke through with an extra

attacker goal to send the game into overtime. “The attitude in the dressing room was OK. They scored with six seconds to tie it up, but it doesn’t make a difference,” recalled Teves. “We are still going to come out there and play our game. We are the better team and I think the whole leadership throughout the entire team was key. We kept saying this is our trophy and they are not going to take it from us, let’s go back out there and get it.” After Becker found the back of the net 2:37 into the extra session, the Tigers poured out on the ice for a raucous celebration. “It was a whirlwind of emotions; it was just pure excitement and happiness for the entire team that we could get that done together,” said Teves. “It has been a pretty special run so far to get that ECAC title and know the history of those two teams the last 10 and 20 years. It puts it all in perspective. It is just a really special feeling.” While the Tigers have featured a high-powered offense all season, the defense become special down the stretch, surrendering 13 goals as they have won seven straight games, including the playoffs and regular season finale. “Our defense has really stepped up, we have banded together,” said Teves. “We take a lot of pride in our defensive game and down the stretch that has been been key. Obviously having Ryan Ferland (the ECACH tournament MVP) in goal is key. I don’t think he gets enough credit for how much confidence he gives our team. He is a wall back there. He is making great saves, he is keeping us in games, and he has given us opportunities to go out there and win. Although Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty was mindful of the program’s success on the 8s, he doesn’t believe that luck or supersti-

tion has played any part in the team’s success. “We did mention that to the guys during the pregame talk against Clarkson,” said Fogarty, referring to the ’98 and ’08 squads. “We said it is all coincidence because we deserve to be here; you guys deserve to win a championship regardless of what year it is with your preparation and commitment.” In Fogarty’s view, the second period of the Cornell game turned the tide for the Tigers. “Once Liam Grande scored that goal, it looked like the game just switched,” said Fogarty. “We played stronger offensively, we were better defensively. That was not a reboot but it was let’s get back to our game now.” Showing resilience, the Tigers stayed on their game in the wake of the late Clarkson goal that could have deflated a lesser team. “It was just the first one would win the game,” said Fogarty. “We mentioned going into the third period, whatever happens, if they get a lucky one and we have to play overtime, we are still going to have this. We are a very good team, just keep pressing and playing the way we can. We outshot them 5-0 before the goal in OT.” In reflecting on Princeton’s late surge, which is seeing it bring the nation’s longest current winning streak into the NCAA tourney, Fogarty believes his squad’s game has evolved at both ends of the ice. “We have developed our scoring in different ways than just the rush, which we have been accustomed to,” said Fogarty. “Our style had changed in the playoffs and we are still scoring just under five goals a game.

CRAZY EIGHTS: Princeton University men’s hockey player Josh Teves controls the puck in ECAC Hockey playoff action. Last weekend at the ECACH Final 4 in Lake Placid, N.Y., junior defenseman Teves starred as seventh-seeded Princeton defeated top-seeded Cornell 4-1 in the semis and then edged thirdseeded Clarkson 2-1 in overtime in the title game. It marked the third straight decade that the program won an ECACH title during a year ending in 8 as the 1998 and 2008 squads also accomplished the feat. Princeton, now 19-12-4 overall, is headed to the NCAA tournament. The Tigers will be playing in the Midwest Regional in Allentown, Pa. where they are seeded fourth and will face top-seeded Ohio State on Saturday. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

his goals against is 1.67. He has done a great job.” Winning the title was a great moment for the program. “It is such a tough accomplishment; you look at all of the teams up in the rafters at Lake Placid and there is not one team that really dominates it,” said Fogarty. “You need a little bit of puck luck, you need execution, and no mistakes. We played two incredible teams who are in the national tournament that we defeated. It was great to win the championship; it bodes well for our demeanor that we can play with anyone heading into the tournament.” Fogarty is confident that

Princeton will keep executing as it faces Ohio State. “We just have to continue to play our game and have some tweaks that don’t take us out of our game in the first and second intermission,” said Fogarty, noting that Princeton posted a pair of ties against the tournament’s overall No. 1 seed, St. Cloud State, in December, in addition to beating another No. 1 seed Cornell last weekend. “We are playing well. We will have a great week of preparation and once it starts at 3:30 on Saturday, we are just going to let the guys play.” In the view of Teves, Princeton is primed to keep playing for a while. “We are just a confident team; we have great defense, we have a hot goaltender, and we have the offensive power to scare a lot of people,” said Teves of the Tigers who are 13-2-1 in their last 16 games. “We have all of the pieces in place to really make a good run at it. The ECAC title is just the beginning for us. Playing in the regional tournament is a bigger stage but I think that bodes well for us. We are going to step our game up and play the right way. I think we are going to turn a lot of heads here with our team and our confidence.” —Bill Alden

TOUGH FINISH: Princeton University women’s basketball player Abby Meyers drives to the basket in a game earlier this season. Last Friday, freshman Meyers scored a team-high 13 points in a losing cause as 12th-seeded Princeton fell 77-57 to fifth-seeded Maryland in Raleigh, N.C. in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

of the year,” lamented Banghart, whose team was outrebounded 43-25 and shot 37.7 percent from the field (20-for-53) as it ended the winter with a 24-6 record. “You only get one chance in the NCAA until you earn another one.” Banghart credited seniors Leslie Robinson, Kenya Holland, and Tia Weledji with earning the respect and affection of their teammates. “This group has shown how far leadership can take you,” asserted Banghart. “It is that quote that Brad Stevens always says, good players make for good teams, great teammates make for great teams and our seniors were just really great teammates.” With sophomore star Bella Alarie, the Ivy Player of the Year, returning along with freshman standouts Carlie Littlefield and Abby Meyers, and a trio of juniors in Sydney Jordan, Gabrielle Rush, and Qalea Ismail, the Tigers appear to be in very good position heading into next season. “We have a lot of young guys who had considerable minutes,” said Banghart. “They have learned from the older guys how to be a teammate and the combination of talents and teammates makes you a really great team.” In Banghart’s view, the younger guys will benefit from the hard experience of the loss to Maryland. “It is such a big atmosphere; it is a survive and advance mentality,” said Banghart. “It is the mortality of your season hanging in the wings. Like anything, you get better at it the more you do it. The group that played a lot of minutes for us hadn’t played significant minutes before in this environment.” In the meantime, the Tigers will focused on getting better individually as they get to work this spring. “With a young team, you have a lot of physicality to work on; we have got to be in the weight room and get those bodies cut more and more to be college ready,” said Banghart. “Individually, we break them down very carefully in terms of what their next steps are as athletes and players.” —Bill Alden

Banghart, whose team had routed Penn 63-34 in the Ivy League tourney final on March 4 to earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tourney. “We just could never really get a handle on the game.” In the early stages of the t h ird quar ter, Mar yland seized control of the game, going on an 8-0 run and never looking back on the way to a 77-57 win. “It was our worst outing

WINTER REVIEW

PDS Hockey Star Auslander, Stuart Hoops’ Spaulding Earn Nod as Town Topics’ Leading Winter Performers

oming into the winter, Coby Auslander was determined to step into a leadership role for the Princeton Day School boys hockey team. “Last year I was one of the guys and we had a bunch of seniors,” said junior forward and team captain Auslander. “They were great guys who taught me what it is like to lead. We have a young group in there so it is important for me to get all of those guys and help them learn the game a little bit and get used to the speed.” Auslander led by example, bringing competitive fire and productivity to the ice for the Panthers as they emerged as one of the top teams in the state. Sparked by Auslander’s heroics, PDS earned a string of impressive wins as the Panthers topped such formidable foes as Delbarton (1-0 on December 13), Wyoming Seminary (Pa) (4-3 on December 10, 3-0 on January 3), Lawrenceville (3-1 on January 25), LaSalle (Pa.) (5-2 on January 17, 4-2 on

February 14), St. Augustine (4-2 on January 18 ) and Hun (5-4 on January 23 in a shootout). Forming a potent combination with line mates, senior Ryan Lisk and junior Ty Eastman helped Auslander pile up the points. “It is easy to feel in a zone with the two guys I am playing with; it is a connection right away,” said Auslander. “Ty Eastman is such a good hockey player. He is big and strong. Ryan and I have been playing together for eight years. It is a very unselfish line, which is important. Everybody contributes, ever ybody is doing well.” Auslander contributed the most, tallying a team-high 36 points on 14 goals and 22 assists. He was the leading scorer in Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL) play and was the top vote getter for the All-League team. PDS head coach Scott Bertoli credited Auslander with being the engine that drove the Panthers this winter.

“Coby [Auslander] is our best player,” said Bertoli. “Chip [Hamlett] and Coby were elected all league first team, Ty [Eastman] was all league second team. They are obviously doing a lot of good things and having those three back as leaders and captains is encouraging.” Au s l a n d e r‘s f i e r y a n d skillful play makes him the choice as the Town Topics top male performer of the high school winter season. Top Female Performer fter playing for the Lawrence High girls’ basketball team as a freshman, Jalynn Spaulding transferred to Stuart Country Day School in the fall of 2015, hoping to be part of something special for the Tartan hoops program. T h e s m o ot h, t a l e nte d guard made an immediate impact in her sophomore season, emerging as a star in helped the Tartans go 19-9 in 2015-16. In her junior campaign, Spaulding continued her progress as Stuart went 18-10 during her junior campaign.

Coming into her senior year, Spaulding was focusing on improving as a leader as much as being a top scorer. “It is leadership and trying to keep us together so like if we get down or we have problems in a game we can just come together and not go separate ways,” said Spaulding. Spau lding showed her team-first attitude as she passed the 1,000-point milestone in a 60-35 win over PDS in mid-December. “I wanted to get a win; I wasn’t too worried about it,” said Spaulding. “It was just play normal and not be selfish, pass and do the right plays for the team. I think it is good; I am trying to focus on winning and things like that. It is important; I am trying to stay humble, but it is pretty big.” The Tartans kept winning as the season unfolded, getting seeded second as they headed in the state Prep B tournament. Stuart rolled to the title, topping third-seeded Newark Academy 67-29 in the semis and then routing fourth-seeded Academy of St. Elizabeth 62-22 in the title game, earning the program’s first-ever Prep B crown. “I just feel that we bond really well together and we really mesh well,” said Spaulding, reflecting on the team’s title run. “I feel like when one of us is off, the other ones pick up slack. As every game goes on, we are playing more as a team so it is working out for us.” Stuart went on to defeat Princeton High 62-33 in the first round of the Mercer County Tournament before falling 51-40 to Allentown in the quarterfinals. Spaulding averaged 12.2 points and 5.8 rebounds a game and led team with 92 assists and 119 steals as the Tartans posted a final record of 17-9. Stuart head coach Justin Leith credited Spaulding with making a major impact in the program’s championship campaign. “Jalynn is fantastic; she is a great kid,” said Leith. “She has gotten better each year, I think the biggest jump is from last year to this year. She has been finishing around the basket, she has been pushing the ball, and she has been shooting the ball well. Overall, she has been a leader to our eight freshmen.” For providing leadership and production as Stuart made histor y, Spaulding earns the nod as the top female performer this winter.

Junior forward and captain Auslander starred as the Panthers went 17-7 and advanced to the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL) championship game. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) for the Hun School boys’ hockey team. “We always have one or two players who have to jump in right away, and he is the next one,” said Hun head coach McNally. “He is very capable and is highly touted; he will be an instant impact freshman.” Argentina didn’t disappoint, picking up three assists in his Hun debut as the Raiders topped Holy Ghost (Pa,) 5-2 in its season opener. He kept on piling up the points, tallying 17 goals and 31 assists on the season and forming a point partnership with junior star Kyle Mandleur (44 goals, 23 assists). “It has been great playing with Kyle,” said Argentina. “I just have to set him up and he can score on every shot.” Argentina’s greatest moment this winter came when he tallied two goals and two assists to help Hun defeat Princeton High 9-4 in the Mercer County Tournament championship game as it won its fifth straight county crown. “I knew it was going to be something special,” said Argentina, reflecting on the title. “It was my first time and it was better than I expected. It was a great atmosphere and all.” For Argentina, his debut campaign proved to be a special experience. “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 pucks; just simple hockey.” For making an immediate impact in helping Hun to

another county crown, Argentina is the pick as the top male newcomer. It didn’t take long for Princeton High freshman Becca Della Rocca to develop a comfort level with high school swimming. “The biggest challenge is that there are a lot of people watching,” said Della Rocca. “It is not just something I want to just do for fun, everyone really cares about it. The team is so great. I love everyone on the team, they are so nice.” Della Rocca had a lot of fun at the Mercer county Championships, w inning the 400 -meter freestyle, taking second in the 100 butterfly, and helping the 400 free relay to victory as PHS placed third in the team standings. For Della Rocca, prevailing in the 400 free stemmed f r o m a d i s c i p l i n e d ap proach. “I always think about it as eight 50s, my plan was just to descend the 50s and get faster,” said Della Rocca. “I felt really confident when I jumped in. It is so awesome, I love the energy, it is so cool.” PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz credited Della Rocca with giving the Little Tigers a big lift. Continued on Next Page

“Becca was crucial,” said Misiewicz of Della Rocca, who also competes for the X-Cel club program. “She was the anchor in the 400 free relay, the butterfly leg in the medley, winning the 400 in a dominant way, coming a close second to a senior from Lawrence in the 100 fly so a phenomenal performances for her.” Della Rocca’s w inning blend of versatility and energy makes her the choice as the top female newcomer.

After working as a trader, Chase was drawn back into the game, becoming the Director of Hockey at ProSkate Ice Rink in Monmouth Junction and the general manager for the New Jersey Stars travel program. But when Chase took the helm of the Princeton High boys’ hockey program, that

marked his first chance to be a head coach at that level. “It wasn’t really what I was looking for this year, but opportunities pop up,” said Chase, who succeeded Terence Miller. “You look at the team and I thought it was a great fit.” Chase was looking for PHS to generate scoring opportunities this winter. “We will definitely be hardworking, we will definitely force the play all over the ice and we will be aggressive and physical,” said Chase. “I try to make things up tempo, I want to play that way. Some programs try to stack a line or two and hope to fill in with the rest. I want to roll three lines against good teams. You can’t beat a good team on two lines; you are going to run out of gas in the second or third period.” Featuring a balanced attack, PHS produced a dramatic run in the Mercer County Tournament, pulling out overtime wins against Robbinsville in the quarterfinals and Notre Dame in the semis to make the finals. After PHS lost 9-4 to fivetime champion Hun in the title game, Chase sensed that the defeat could spark a deep run in the state Public B tourney. “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.” The 11th-seed Little Tigers showed intensity in the state Public B tourney, topping sixth-seeded Middletown North 4-1 in the Round of 16 and then stunning third-

seeded and defending state champion Ridge 4-3 in overtime in the quarters. While PHS fell 6-1 to second-seeded and eventual champion Northern Highlands in the state semis, Chase was proud of the team’s late surge. “Terence definitely left me with a pretty good team. They did a good job, they battled,” said Chase, who guided the Little Tigers to a final record of 18-9-2. “We came up north to play some good teams to get ourselves better and I think that helped us in the run here.” For doing a superb job in his debut campaign at the helm of PHS, Chase earns the nod as the top coach of a boys’ team this winter. Longtime Princeton High math teacher Dave Kosa noticed something was missing when he would look at the team banners hanging on the wall of the PHS gym. “Seeing the girls’ basketball banner in the gym with nothing on it, that is something I wanted to change,” said Kosa, who coached the PHS boys’ program from 2002-07 and then worked as assistant coach for the St. Rose girls’ team before stints as the head coach of the Haddonfield and Piscataway girls’ squads. “I have had success elsewhere so it is let me see if I can use that experience and help with where I call home.” Taking the helm of the PHS girls’ team, Kosa was looking to instill intensity all over the court. “We want to be aggressive both offensively and defensively,” said Kosa, who was taking over a team that posted a 6-20 record in 2016-17.

“From a defensive standpoint, I like playing a really good solid man-to-man and then throwing in a press. I think forcing the action and being aggressive really lends itself to helping us offensively, creating points off of turnovers and in transition. We are going to play a motion offense, where everyone is moving, passing, cutting, and sharing the ball.” With PHS getting off to a 6-2 start, it was clear that the program was moving in the right direction. After starting February by going 1-4, PHS righted the ship, posting wins over Tren-

ton and North Brunswick as it headed into the state tournament. Achieving a big breakthrough, 12th-seeded PHS upset fifth-seeded South Br unsw ick 34 -18 in the opening round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional, earning the program’s first win in the state tourney since the mid-1990s. “It feels good; it is something that we really worked hard for and one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and coach here,” said Kosa, “We took the first step today. While the Little Tigers

fell 60-41 to Marlboro in the sectional quarters, PHS posted a 14-14 mark and is looking forward to building on this season’s success “We have got a great vibe going, we have a great chemistry; that is what we have been preaching the whole year,” said Kosa. “It is just togetherness and enjoy the season. We want to put girls’ basketball on the map.” Kosa’s success in creating that positive vibe and getting the PHS program on the upswing makes him the choice as the top coach of a girls’ program. —Bill Alden

With PDS Girls’ Hoops Program Showing Progress, Bailey Stepping Down With Pride Over 5-year Tenure Dealing with injuries from the first week of the season, the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team had trouble finding a rhythm this winter. “Our struggle was just keeping everybody heathy throughout the year,” said PDS head coach Kamau Bailey. “We went into that first tournament, the Hill tournament, and we had two starters. Everyone was coming off the bench.” Finally getting back to full strength in the final weeks of the season, PDS won two of last three games, including a 38-32 victory over WW/PSouth in its season finale. “The girls did very well, I was proud of the way they finished,” said Bailey, reflecting on the win over South. “It was a close game. One of the things that we were

trying to do is finish. We talked about it in the last huddle; let’s finish this one off, it is our last game and especially for the seniors, let’s try to go out with a win. We made some adjustments.” While the Panthers took their lumps in posting a 5-16 record, Bailey believed that his players gained some valuable lessons from the experience. “I thought it was a pretty productive season, I would have liked to have had some different results in terms of the win-loss column overall,” said Bailey. “A lot of things that I talk about with these girls in a season like this is that it has to be about more than basketball. I thought some other things were accomplished in terms of growth and character and chemistry.” Bailey credited his quartet

of seniors, Ryan Robinson, Kate Bennett, Bridget Kane, Maddie Coyne, with showing character all winter long. “What those girls did in terms of being captains and leaders on the floor and in the locker room, it was second to none,” said Bailey. On the court, sharpshooting guard Kane (a team-high 13.5 points a game with 46 3 -pointers ) and for ward Coyne ( a team-high 118 rebounds and 102 blocked shots) produced special final campaigns. “Bridget Kane was like having a second coach out there, more so than any other year,” said Bailey. “We had a lot of conversations, just talking about what is going on out there because she sees stuff, she knows the game. Maddie, with her length and athleticism, gets up the court like a gazelle.” Bailey, who has decided to step down from the PDS post to pursue other hoops opportunities, is going out with a sense of pride over his growth as a coach and the growth he has seen in his players during his fiveyear tenure. “I learned a lot about communicating and coaching girls; this is the first opportunity I have had to coach girls. I had coached boys before that,” said Bailey, who is involved with running youth camps sponsored by the Philadelphia 76ers. “When I took the position, I had maybe two girls who had played JV and swung varsity, and the rest were all freshmen. I kind of had like a JV/freshman team going, so that was huge challenge in the beginning. To watch these girls grow, this same group of girls through the four or five years I was there, was really something to see and to be a part of.” In Bailey’s view, the program is in a good position going forward. “One of the things that Tim [PDS Athletics Director Tim Williams] asked me to do when I took the position was to grow the program,” said Bailey.

THE NOSE KNOWS: 3 SCENTS THAT COULD HELP SELL YOUR HOME Pretty much everybody knows the trick of baking cookies just before an open house or showing. But for some people, that fresh-baked scent could make them think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to mask something unpleasant. Before dragging out the cookie sheets, try these scents instead to help your home smell fresh, clean and inviting: â&#x20AC;˘ Citrus: Stay away from blends, and instead, pick a single scent like lemon or orange for the greatest impact. â&#x20AC;˘ Herbs: Mint, sage, rosemary and lavender all have a clean, crisp scent that freshens the air and promotes â&#x20AC;&#x153;feel goodâ&#x20AC;? emotions. â&#x20AC;˘ Evergreen scents like pine, balsam or cedar are also mood-boosters (something all three of these suggestions have in common), plus they can usher in impressions of the outdoors. Stay away from holiday blends and opt for a pure essential oil or single-scent candle.
