Chief Sutter Speaks To Council About Incident at Panera
With the New Jersey Attorney General’s office in charge of investigating the shooting at the Panera Bread restaurant on Nassau Street last week, Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter is limited in how much he can share about the incident until the investigation is completed. But Sutter wants to keep the public as informed as he can about the events surrounding the death of 56-year-old Scott Mielentz, who was fatally shot after an armed standoff involving local, county, and state police; the FBI; and Princeton University police. Sutter read a statement at the Monday, March 26 meeting of Princeton Council. “I am confident that we did everything possible to help the person involved in this incident,” he said. “Some of our officers placed themselves directly in harm’s way to talk and comfort him throughout the incident. I also know that the process of healing will take time for members of our community and police department. They should all know that we are all here to support them through the process.” The Attorney General’s office Continued on Page 4

Thousands Fill Downtown in March for Our Lives Optimistic organizers anticipated hundreds, but thousands of people showed up in Hinds Plaza Saturday to join Princeton’s March for Our Lives rally, one of more than 800 across the country in support of the national march in Washington, D.C., demanding that lawmakers take action against gun violence. Estimated at more than 4,000, the crowd overflowed the Plaza. Witherspoon and Hulfish streets were closed to traffic. “I was very surprised,” said student organizer Dziyana Zubialevich. “About 1,600 registered online. We expected about 800 — then almost 5,000 showed up.” The Princeton High School senior continued, “This movement is student-led. This gives people hope, voice — especially the younger generation. And parents and grandparents also want to support their children. I’ve worked on political campaigns before, but this is different. This movement has changed the situation. On gun control it’s been difficult to get our voices heard, and to get politicians to listen, but it’s very powerful this time.” In a Facebook post the following day, Zubialevich wrote, “Thank you all so much for coming yesterday. The event turned
out great! Now it’s time to turn the march into something actionable,” urging her followers to contact their legislators. On Monday in Trenton lawmakers seemed to have heard the new voices and felt the power of their pleas, as the New Jersey Assembly voted to pass six different bills to tighten gun restrictions. The bills will go to the state Senate, which must also pass them before they go to Governor Phil Murphy to be signed into law.
“I’m exhilarated,” said the Rev. Bob Moore, executive director of the Coalition for Peace Action, a co-organizer of the rally. Moore, who sent two bus loads off to the national march in Washington early Saturday morning, then drove to Westfield to speak at a rally, before returning to speak at the Princeton rally, described how his organization had printed 500 fliers, thinking that would be enough. “It was exciting, empowering,” he said. “The weather cooperated. It was a great Continued on Page 8
Schools: Referendum Will Cost $137M, Annual Budget $98M, Taxes Increasing Princeton Public Schools (PPS) have projected a cost of just over $137 million for an October 2 facilities referendum that would include a new 5/6 school at Valley Road, major renovations to Princeton High School, infrastructure and security improvements for all school buildings, and relocation of central office administration. More than $24 million of the referendum costs will be funded by grants from the state. Starting in 2020, taxpayers will see an additional $678 for the average
assessed home valued at $837,074, as old and new debt overlap for four years, rising to $823 in 2021. By 2023 the additional cost will be $319 for the average assessed home. “If the district takes on no additional debt, from 2023 through when the new bonds mature in 2049, the estimated additional cost to taxpayers will continue to decrease gradually,” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane wrote in a March 21 letter to families, community members, and Continued on Page 12

time,” he said in response to a question from Councilwoman Heather Howard. “We were dealing with a person in crisis.” Earlier on Monday, Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield told reporters that Princeton’s health department had concluded its inspection of the restaurant, and it was cleared to reopen. As of Tuesday morning, it was still closed “due to circumstances beyond our control,” according to a recorded phone message thanking the public for their patience. Following the March for Our Lives that took place in Hinds Plaza on Saturday, several marchers placed their signs advocating gun control on the papered-over windows of the restaurant. Sutter said that the police are prepared for such
situations. “We train, create policy, and train some more so that we can effectively operate through critical situations,” he said. “We just don’t know until faced with a critical situation how effective these preparations are. I saw these preparations at work last week, and I could not be more proud of the way our officers performed. They were professional, courageous, selfless, and most of all compassionate. Every move and decision that was made was done in order to save lives and protect the public. They did absolutely everything we expect from them and more.” Sutter also thanked the state police, FBI, Mercer County Sheriff’s and Prosecutor’s offices, and Princeton University officers for their assistance. “I also want to thank members of
the community, municipality, and governing body for the support you have given to all those affected,” he said. “Your support will be vital as the healing process continues.” Councilwoman Leticia Fraga asked Sutter if counseling was available for Panera Bread employees. “We mandate it for our officers,” he said. “That night, I spoke to Panera corporate and they were already providing it. It’s so important.” Sutter said it would be “at least a month or more” before the investigation into the incident is completed. —Anne Levin
Police Blotter On March 15, at 5:52 p.m., an unidentified white male used a counterfeit $100 bill to make a $20 purchase at D’Angelo Italian Market on Spring Street. On March 18, at 10:27 p.m., a 26-year-old male from Jamesburg was charged with possession of a 4.5-inch folding knife and a hypodermic needle, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Stockton Street. On March 19, at 4:12 p.m., JaZam’s store management reported that a person of unknown gender, possibly Latino, 5’7 with hair shaved on the sides and a long ponytail, purchased a toy bucket for $7.55. The suspect paid with a $100 bill that later was determined to be counterfeit.

FENDING OFF GENTRIFICATION: The owners of auto repair shops in Willets Point, Queens, just across from Citi Field, were followed by a film crew as they fought the city of New York over plans to close them down and build a mall. “The Iron Triangle” is among the features to be screened at the Princeton Environmental Film Festival starting Sunday.

At this year’s Princeton Environmental Film Festival (PEFF) presented by Princeton Public Library, expect to see features on such topics as the destruction of forests, the changing climate, saving the Great Swamp, and what happens to plastics when we throw them away. But this year’s festival, which opens Sunday, April 8 and runs
through April 15, goes a step further. Films such as The Iron Triangle, which focuses on the fight to stave off gentrification in an industrial area of Queens, New York; and Dolores, about the 87-year-old co-founder of the first farm workers’ unions, tell a larger story.

“This year we considered ‘work’ as our theme to connect the films with a larger social context about how people identify and express themselves through their work, what sacrifices they have made in pursuit of their work, how their work impacts society and the planet, and how their work inspired and motivated others,” said Susan Conlon, the festival’s founder/director and the library’s head of youth services. Now in its 12th year, the festival is also about “how the workplace and our changing roles in it, and the very nature of work itself, are undergoing a great shift with local and global implications,” she added. Conlon is especially enthused about The Iron Triangle, which follows the struggles of the hundreds of small auto repair shops that sit across from Citi Field in the Willets Point section of Queens. The owners, most of whom are immigrants, fought the efforts of the city to raze the area and build a huge mall in its place. Many issues are at work in this story, from the city’s shocking neglect of the blighted area marked for lucrative redevelopment to the fate of the dislocated workers who depend on the shops for their livelihood. “I think the film speaks to the social justice issues that are intertwined in reimagining and redeveloping our cities,” said Conlon. “These issues are playing out across our cities, from Willets Point to San Francisco, and changing our urban environments where people want to live and work.” For filmmakers Will Lehman and Prudence Katze, initial inspiration came from The Assassination of New York, a book by Robert Fitch about the history of gentrification and the disappearing working class in Manhattan. Lehman, who is a film editor originally from Chicago,

restaurant to talk,” said Lehman of two key figures in the effort. “We filmed our first interview on the spot that day. I think they felt like their story wasn’t being told in the wider media. They were eager that we were there because they were used to seeing the same few news channels show up.” Katze added, “There seemed to be a lot of interest in this among the hyper-local press. There are reporters that have followed this through the years. But what was happening to these workers did not make it into the larger news cycle until it was too late. It just wasn’t interesting enough for the New York Times to do an exposé.” The filmmakers filmed on a regular basis for six to eight months. The $3 billion project, originally designed to build a mall and parking lot, resulted in hundreds of immigrants losing their jobs as bulldozers plowed over their shops. The project stalled and appeared dead in 2015, but is now back on track. No mall is in the current plan, but affordable housing, retail, a school, and open space are included. This would seem to be good news, but the filmmakers have some reservations about the fact that the original developers — Related Companies and Fred Wilpon and Saul B. Katz, who own the New York Mets — are still behind the deal. “This is a new mayor [de Blasio], who ran on a platform of a tale of two cities,” said Katze. “There was this idea that he’d look out for the little guy. They were hopeful that somehow he would intercede and at least help the workers find a new place, but that didn’t really happen. While the development plans lay dormant, I think they were trying to cook up a new plan. I’m disappointed that the same developers are involved. I think it should start over. They should put out a new RFP [request for proposal] for the plan.” The Iron Triangle will be screened Wednesday, April 11, 7 p.m. at the Friend Center 101, Princeton University. Katze will be on hand following the presentation to answer questions. Screenings of the films in the festival are at Princeton Public Library, the Princeton Garden Theatre, the Hopewell Theater, and at locations on the University campus. Visit www.princetonlibrary. org/peff/schedule for a full listing of events. “PEFF is a powerful way for the community to connect more deeply, both to the natural and built environment and to each other,” said Conlon. “Very often, people are profoundly affected and moved to personal action by what they learn from these films. And in that way, the festival has real community impact.” —Anne Levin

PASSING THE TORCH: At a rally on Saturday characterized by an unusually large and passionate turnout of young people, demonstrators demanded that lawmakers take action to control guns and protect kids. The Hinds Plaza event was part of a national March for Our Lives. (Photo by Erica M. Cardenas)

collaboration between young and old. I’m thrilled with how it went.” He hastened to mention the “amazing results already” from Monday’s vote in Trenton, but was not optimistic about further breakthroughs in Washington. “I don’t foresee much movement until Congress changes hands,” he said. D e s c r ibi ng a “t ippi ng point” that has been reached in the wake of the Parkland shooting and over 300 other school shootings since Newtown five years ago, Moore
noted, “There’s a new wave of activists. Can they apply this momentum in national elections? Both the youthful idealism and the passion are important.” In addition to Zubialevich and Moore, speakers at the Hinds Plaza rally included four students and four adults: Vidhya Dhar, a junior at East Brunswick High School; Rabbi Arnold Gluck of Temple Emmanuel in Hillsborough; Ben Bollinger and Joe Redmond, student leaders of the newly-formed Princeton Against Gun Violence at Princeton University; Assemblyman
Roy Frieman; and Glenda Torres, who has been a victim of gun violence. R e b a H o l l e y, M e r c e r County leader of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, co-organizer of the Princeton rally and nine others across the state, also expressed her happiness with the success of the event. “There’s a palpable difference now, caused by the activists at Parkland,” she said. In attempting to explain the large turnout, Holley mentioned the effect of the shooting at Panera Bread in Princeton last Tuesday, where a gunman died after a long standoff with the police. She also noted, “At Sandy Hook, the students couldn’t speak and the parents were too devastated. But the kids of Parkland took their pain and channeled it into action. They are articulate and media-savvy.” Holley praised Zubialevich for “a lovely job of binding young and older, with a variety of people who spoke.” She continued, “I see a tide turning. I’m more optimistic now. I’m feeling great enthusiasm. People who might have been complacent are being awakened and are understanding that 96 people a day are dying from guns in this country.” Discussing the organization of the event, Zubialevich wrote in her press release, “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.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton Council introduced the 2018 municipal budget at its Monday, March 26 meeting, calling for no tax increase. Originally proposed to charge the average household an increase of $41.86, the budget was amended following a unanimous vote by the governing body. Mayor Liz Lempert and Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield credited the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee (CFAC) for their work on the issue, which involved using surplus funds to bring the increase down to zero. A public hearing on the budget will be held on April 9. Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter took Council members through the 2017 Annual Police Report. A c o m m u n i t y s u r v e y t h at yielded zero responses from the Hispanic community in 2013 got 59 responses in a second survey done last year, plus nearly 200 from other residents of the town. “They were almost overwhelmingly positive,” Sutter said. The biggest concerns cited among residents were related to speeding, specifically regarding pedestrian and bicycling safety. Asked about motor vehicle stops, Sutter noted that 70 percent of them are warnings, rather than summons. “We’re not driving revenue,” he said. “We’re there to raise awareness, and that’s what it’s about.” The survey also focused on recruiting. Sutter said that since 2013, the police department has developed a reputation for its increasing diversity. “We have 3,000 interests for our next recruiting, and it hasn’t even been announced,” he said. With longtime Planning Director Lee Solow about to retire, Council approved a one-year contract with Banisch Associates, Inc., for work related to planning and zoning plan review, at an amount not to exceed $30,000, paid out

of escrow. Rates for planning reviews will be higher during this time, Lempert cautioned, because using a planner not on staff is more costly. “Mr. Banisch actually had one of the better rates of the people we looked at, but we probably are going to hear from people and I just wanted to give people that warning.” A resolution authorizing approval of recommendations on traffic speed reductions and “calming” devices was also approved. Council President Jenny Crumiller said the data-driven plan evolved after a long and deliberative process. Traffic enforcement and a plan for traffic calming that is equitable for all neighborhoods are the major components. “This has been on the wish list and the goals list for quite a while and it’s great to finally see it,” said Lempert. She asked if there will be a speed table at the renovated Mary Moss Playground on John Street, which is targeted to reopen soon. Ms. Crumiller said the slope of the street makes that a problem, but the issue will be revisited. —Anne Levin

Rabner Joins Board Of Rider University
Barry S. Rabner, president and CEO of Penn Medicine Princeton Health, has joined Rider University’s Board of Trustees. Rabner will serve on the Academic Affairs and Enrollment Management and
Facilities Committees of the Board. “We are thrilled to have Barry join Rider’s Board of Trustees,” said University President Gregory G. Dell’Omo, PhD. “Barr y’s comprehensive experience in lead ing and expand ing health care institutions will be a huge asset to the Board, especially in light of the growth in health carerelated programs at Rider.” R abner has s er ved as Princeton Health’s president and CEO for more than 15 years. The nonprofit health care system includes five entities and nearly 50 locations that provide acute inpatient care, behavioral health, rehabilitation and home care services. The system operates with nearly 3,000 employees and more than 1,300 physicians. Under Rabner’s
leadership, Princeton Health is also developing the $1.2 billion, 171-acre healthcare campus in Plainsboro, where the hospital is located. On January 1, the system became part of Penn Medicine. Last spring, Rabner served as an adjunct instructor at Rider, teaching a special topics course in the health care management program. His course challenged students to understand the factors that drive the rapid change in health care delivery, and predict what hospital systems will look like in the future.

No Tax Increase for 2018 Included in Municipal Budget
L
ocal Greek, the new restaurant at 44 Leigh Avenue, is off to a great start. Customers are lining up to try the special Greek dishes, and they are coming in all day and into the evening.
IT’S NEW To Us
“Breakfast is very popular. In fact, it’s actually even busier than dinner right now,” says owner Tony Kanterakis. “People love the Greek-style breakfast, especially the free range eggs in the pan, we serve every day.” Breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner, take-out, catering, and private parties are all available at the restaurant, which opened in mid November. “Even in the short time we’ve been open, we have had several private parties, and we also have catering orders,” adds Kanterakis. Place in Princeton Although his previous career was in financial planning and medical services, Kanterakis points out that he has a strong tie to the restaurant business. “My mom has had a restaurant and bakery in Highland Park, and I started working there in 2005. I always liked Greek cooking, and I decided to change careers because I really liked being out there with people and interacting with them. I thought this was a chance to make people happy. “Also, a lot of people from Princeton came to the Highland Park restaurant, and they said they wished we could have a place in Princ-
eton. So here we are!” After exploring a number of possibilities, Kanterakis decided to open in the Leigh Avenue site, which had become available. “It was a perfect location, and the building also had an existing kitchen. And I think this is a great neighborhood. People are calling it ‘The Brooklyn of Today,’ with its mix of people of different backgrounds, and the blend of business and residential. I really wanted it to be a friendly place with great food.” Opening within his planned time frame was a challenge, he adds. He and his team worked hard to get everything ready in a short amount of time. “My cousin Emmanuel Kanterakis is an architect and has the NEA Construction Company. He helped me, and we completely renovated the building. Basically, in three weeks, we designed, built, created the menu, got the staff, and opened!” Kanterakis wanted the menu to be special and reflect the overall tasty goodness of Greek cuisine. “Greek food is very healthy,” he explains. “It’s the Mediterranean diet, and everything is very fresh and locally sourced. We have family recipes from my mother and grandmother. My parents were both born in Greece, and I am first generation in the U.S.” Customers are coming in throughout the day, and enjoying breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he points out. “Many people stop in on their way to work, get coffee and a pastry.” Special Treat For those who can spend more time in the morning, especially on weekends, a special treat awaits. “We have wonderful egg dishes — lo-

cal free range eggs served in the pan, accompanied by our homemade bread and Greek homestyle potatoes,” Kanterakis said. Popular breakfast choices include Tomato Fresco — free range eggs with fresh local tomato puree, and organic olive oil, topped with kasseri and feta cheese; and The Super Greek, featuring free range eggs, onions, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, mushrooms, and avocado, drizzled with homemade ouzo sauce. Also, Local Spinach Feta Omelette with fresh spinach, Greek feta, cherry tomatoes, onions, and Greek leeks; and The Greek Benedict, with barley rusks topped with tomato, avocado, free range eggs, and Greek-style sauce. In addition, waffles, Greekstyle pancakes, and The Toast, Greek-style focaccia, filled with kasseri cheese, smoked local ham, tomatoes, and a free range sunny side up egg are very popular breakfast choices. Tony Kanterakis also points out that these breakfasts are available throughout the day and evening. Sandwiches and salads are in demand, including special Local Greek Salads, such as The Village (Horiatiki) with local tomatoes, cucumber, Greek pepper, barley rusk, feta, kalamata olives, and fresh onions, topped with organic Greek live oil and vinegar; also, the Kipos Salad with local kale, avocado, fresh oranges, dried figs, and cashews, topped with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Greek honey. Homemade Cheese Bread Sandwiches include the Tr yo Panini : homemade cheese bread filled with kasseri cheese, smoked ham, local tomato, arugula, and special Greek spread; and Greek Pita with choice of pork, chicken, or veggies, filled with local tomato, tzatziki, and fresh herbs.
“We also have a great local burger,” reports Kanterakis. “It’s an organic beef patty, with caramelized onions, local tomatoes, pickles, and barbecue sauce on our homemade bun.” Other popular specialties are Spanokopita, the puff pastry filled with fresh local spinach, leeks, onions, silk, and Greek feta cheese; Kolokithopita, puff pastry filled with zucchini, feta, and Greek herbs; also, Prasopita, filo dough filled with potato and leeks — among many other choices. Small Bites, Big Smiles! Local Greek is especially noted for its selection of Meze (Greek tapas) or smaller plates which can be shared. “We suggest ordering two or three per table,” explains Kanterakis. Popular choices include Mousaka, with béchamel sauce, eggplant, ground beef, and organic olive oil; Kokinisto — Greek-style beef stew with tomato fresco and Greek herbs; Mediterra Chicken, with organic chicken, Greek honey, pineapple, peppers, and olive oil, finished with tomatoes and oranges; and Pastitsada, Greek pasta topped with beef tips, fresh tomato sauce, and kefalotiri. Desserts include the popular Baklava with filo dough filled with crushed almonds and walnuts, topped with G r e e k h on e y ; G a l a k to bouriko, filo dough filled with semolina custard, topped with Greek honey; and Karidopita, Greek-style walnut cake. These are just a sampling of the many “sweet” choices. “The pastries and our bread are made fresh daily,” notes Kanterakis, “and we are especially known for our great coffee. Our terrific espresso is from Milano — the best in the world!” Prices cover a range, with puff pastries from $6.95, sandwiches from $9.95, salads from $11.95, and tapas from $10.95. Regular Customers In addition to the restaurant, Local Greek offers a market where a variety of
SMALL BITES, BIG SMILES: “I thought Princeton would be a great opportunity for a Greek restaurant. There’s nothing like us here, and I’m so encouraged. Business is great, and people love what we’re doing.” Tony Kanterakis, owner of Local Greek, is shown in his new restaurant on Leigh Avenue. items can be purchased. Greek beans, cookies, pasta, coffee, baked bagels, imported Greek cheese, and various puffed pastries are all available. The response from the public has been even more enthusiastic than Kanterakis expected. “For example,” he reports, “we already have regular customers, even in this short time. One customer has come for breakfast and dinner on the same day. So far, all the customers are Princetonians. It’s just a real cross section, with people from the University, students, business people, and residents in the area. And it’s families and all ages.” “I love the warm and friendly atmosphere,” notes Princeton resident Donna Kasmer, who recently made her first visit to Local Greek. “The staff is lovely, and the food is excellent. A friend suggested we come, and you can be sure we’ll be back again!”

T h e Wi l l i a m s C ol l e g e Board of Trustees on March 11 appointed Maud S. Mandel as the college’s 18th president. However she began developing her leadership skills and intellectual attributes long ago, as a child growing up in Princeton. “My strongest memories are linked to the people that I befriended at Littlebrook, John Witherspoon, and Princeton High School (PHS), a handful of whom are among those I hold most dear to this day,” she said. “For me, the best associations with the town are deeply linked to the family and loved ones that filled my days there.” The daughter of Ruth Mandel, director of Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University and retired Rutgers English Professor Barrett Mandel, Maud Mandel is currently a “transformative” dean and longtime professor of history and Judaic studies at Brown University, who has been a “relentless champion for undergraduates and a truly inspiring colleague,” according to Brown University President Christina Paxson. Her stepfather is PHS history teacher Jeff Lucker, who taught her when she was a student there. Lucker expressed how gratifying it has been “to watch the trajectory of someone’s life from my classroom, to college, to professor, then dean of Brown, and now the presidency of Williams.” Mandel commented on
her childhood memories of Princeton Public Schools. “A liberal arts education allows students to hone a series of competencies that they begin learning at a much younger age, such as writing, research, and problemsolving,” she said. “These are skills that I — like all children — began learning in grade school. I have wonderful memories of learning math with Mrs. Geary in second grade, art with Mr. Mackey, and reading in Mr. Count’s advanced reading courses. I believe that a lifelong love of learning is instilled at a young age at home, but also in a strong elementary education, which I was fortunate to have.” Mandel, who will begin her tenure at Williams on July 1, will be joined at the western Massachusetts campus by her husband Steve Simon and their children, Lev and Ava. Mandel described her formative years at PHS in the early 1980s. “Pr inceton High School prepared me well for the next phase of my academic journey. My favorite classes were those that challenged me to question my assumptions, which was particularly true of my history classes,” she said. “Since I went on to pursue a graduate degree in history, these early experiences were clearly formative.” She continued, ”In addition, arts courses at Princeton High School were very important to me — particularly singing in the choir
with Mr. Trego and Mrs. Parrella and acting classes both in school and through the Drama Club. “When I think about a high school education and how to advise students today, I would encourage them to take full advantage of all facets of the experience. Indeed these ‘extracurricular’ commitments provided me with opportunities to hone skills around public speaking and develop my self-confidence in ways that continue to serve me to this day.” At Brown, where she has been a faculty member since 2001 and currently serves as dean of the university, Mandel led the establishment of the Brown Learning Collaborative, a program to strengthen student learning in liberal arts competencies through a peer-to-peer approach. She also oversaw the opening of the first G enerat ion College and Low-Income Student Center, creating a set of programs to support high-need students financially and academically, one of the first centers of its kind in the country. Mandel also created Brown’s first winter session program ; started BrownConnect, a funded internship program and networking platform; oversaw the Swearer Center transition to more directly integrate student work with the external community; and developed 1s tY@ Brow n, a n on l i ne course that prepares students for success in Brown’s open curriculum.
Over the past t wo decades, Mandel has also gone beyond her focus on undergraduate education to participate in and lead more than a dozen search processes and chaired committees and working groups including the Task Force on Diversity in the Curriculum, the Enrollment Management Committee, and the Committee to Review Brown’s Academic Code Policies and Procedures. She has taught courses at Brown on the history of the Holocaust, Zionism and the birth of the state of Israel, and anti-Semitism, among other topics. A f ter g raduat ing f rom PHS in 1985, Mandel went to Oberlin College, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in English, followed by MA and PhD degrees in history from the University of Michigan. In her research and writing, including a wide range of publications, Mandel has examined the ways policies and practices of inclusion and exclusion in 20th century France have affected ethnic and religious minorities, most notably Jews, Armenians, and Muslim North Africans. She has explored these themes in two books, In the Aftermath of Genocide: Armenians and Jews in Twentieth Century France (Duke Universit y Press, 2003 ) and Muslims and Jews in France: History of Conflict (Princeton University Press, 2014). She was also a coeditor of Colonialism and the Jews (Indiana University Press, 2017). —Donald Gilpin

staff. “Over the course of 30 years, the average annual additional cost on an average assessed home will be $167.23.” In his letter and in remarks to the Board of Education at their March 20 meeting, Cochrane emphasized the urgent needs caused by growing enrollments and the importance of responsible investment in the future of PPS. “This is a defining moment for our district and public education in our community,” he said. “We are called to meet the challenges of growing enrollment and the needs of our aging buildings. Over the past two years, the Board has worked to create a plan for a referendum that is costeffective and addresses all of the needed infrastructure improvements for each of our school buildings. We believe this referendum is a wise and responsible investment for our students now, and for the future of education in our community.” He went on to warn of the consequences of neglecting these current needs. “Without this investment, our schools that are already over capacity will be squeezed even tighter. We will see growing class sizes, reduced electives, and may be forced to take other actions that would compromise the educational excellence that is the hallmark of our district. Our plan adds the space and safety enhancements that we urgently need in a way that is best for our students and staff, while being respectful of the tax burden on our community.”
The Board w ill submit its plans to the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) next month. The community can continue to provide feedback by emailing referendum @ princeton12.org. After submission of plans to the NJDOE, PPS will present plans for the referendum to the Princeton Planning Board. After NJDOE approval, anticipated in July, the Board will finalize the ballot question. Between now and October 2 PPS will continue to communicate plans and referendum information to all voters, including presentations in the community on dates to be determined. 2018-19 Budget Also last week, PPS announced a tentative budget for the 2018-19 school year, which calls for a 3.63 percent increase in the tax levy, resulting in an annual increase of $159 on the average assessed home of $837,074. The final total budget of approximately $98 million, which Cochrane described as “austere and the result of many tough choices,” will be presented in detail at the April 24 Board meeting. Cochrane emphasized the Board’s belief that the proposed budget responsibly fulfills the goal to “balance its fiscal responsibility to taxpayers with its commitment to the high-quality education for our children.” Cochrane explained that the increase is mostly the result of rising fixed costs incurred by the district, including the contractual increase in salaries for staff, increased costs of health
benefits, and the annual and increased cost of the charter school. The continuing rise in enrollment allows the tax levy to exceed the 2 percent state cap. “Like every year, but this year in particular, the Board had to make difficult decisions to balance the budget,” Cochrane said. “Currently there are no new staff positions included in the budget, despite our enrollment, which has risen approximately 10 percent over the past five years. Moreover, $500,000 will be cut from the budget for next year through staff attrition. We were helped in balancing the budget by an increase in state aid of just over $500,000, but our numbers are still very tight.” The full Board plans to vote on the budget at its April 24 meeting. —Donald Gilpin

Library Live at Labyrinth presents Institute for Advanced St udy P rofes sor Emeritus Freeman Dyson discussing his book, Maker of Patterns: An Autobiography Through Letters on Wednesday, April 4 at 6 p.m. A review in Publishers Weekly says, “In an effective dual narrative, [Dyson] shares his life through letters spanning 1941 to 1978 as well as present-day reflections. Earnest and delightfully casual, the book is concerned more with the man than his science, as ‘family came first, friends second, and work third.’ … The letters abound in informed references to notable figures, such as a description of J. Robert Oppenheimer spending his spare time ‘reading St. Thomas Aquinas in Latin and writing poetry in the style of Eliot.’ Candor and closeness are built into the narrative, as his letters address immediate family members on personal topics
Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, March 29 at 6 p.m. In Automating Inequality, Eubanks investigates the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on poor and working-class people in America. As Naomi Klein says: “This book is downright scary.” The state of Indiana denies one million applications for healthcare, food stamps, and cash benefits in three years — because a new computer system interprets any mistake
as “failure to cooperate.” In Los Angeles, an algorithm calculates the comparative vulnerability of tens of thousands of homeless people in order to prioritize them for an inadequate pool of housing resources. In Pittsburgh, a child welfare agency uses a statistical model to try to predict which children might be future victims of abuse or neglect. Virginia Eubanks is associate professor of political science at the University at Albany, SUNY. She is the author of Digital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age. For two decades, Eubanks has worked in community technology and economic justice movements. She is a founding member of the Our Data Bodies Project. Kathryn Edin is one of the nation’s leading poverty researchers, working in the domains of welfare and low-wage work, family life, and neighborhood contexts, through direct, in- depth observations of the lives of low-income populations. She is professor of sociology at Princeton University and most recently the author of $2 a Day: The Art of Living on Virtually Nothing in America and of Coming of Age in the Other America.

Courage and Compassion: Virginia Woolf and Emma González
S
o you begin with the death of Virginia Woolf, on this day, March 28, 1941. Moved by the courage and compassion of her farewell message to her husband, you read her first novel, The Voyage Out, in which her alter ego, Rachel Vinrace, dies at 24 after finding herself in life and music, falling in love, becoming engaged, and moving you, again, because you’ve come to care for her as if she were a real person. Then, with another world and another time still impinging on your own reality, you join the thousands on Hinds Plaza last Saturday afternoon, staring at the crystal-clear summer-blue sky, occasionally sensing subtle intimations of menace when the barking of dogs coincides with angry shouts aimed at one speaker who admitted to being a gun owner. Meanwhile, no doubt like others in the crowd, you’re acutely aware that only a few days earlier a gun-wielding man was shot dead just around the corner at Panera Bread after a half-day standoff. Emma’s Silence At 2 a.m. Monday as you’re hoping to put the finishing touches on a Virginia Woolf column, you see a clip of Emma González’s speech, four of its six minutes and 20 seconds delivered in silence as she stares forthrightly out at the hundreds of thousands attending the March for Our Lives rally in Washington. And that, too, moves you because you seem to know the story of her life the way you would if a great writer had written it, except that no writer could have expressed the wonder of a 17-year-old life force in an army jacket, her chest heaving with the passion of her mission as she locks herself in that zone of unshakable silence, making the world feel the magnitude of loss, perhaps even, you fondly imagine, breaking through the closed minds of those who have tried to discredit her and her classmates. Unvanquished and Unyielding Since no copies of The Voyage Out were available when I wanted to read it, I had to make do online, where you can flow with the virtual current, everything instantly in play as you surf through scenes haunted by intimations of Jane Austen and E.M. Forster down to the depths where Woolf finds the heart of her darkness, the death-by-water theme she will sound throughout her work and most memorably on the day she walks the half mile to her death in the River Ouse. According to Nigel Nicholson’s short biography in the Penguin Lives series, Virginia then thrust “a large stone into the pocket of her fur coat” and “threw herself into the water.” The phrasing echoes her epitaph, taken from the last words of her 1931 novel The Waves: “Against you I will fling myself unvanquished and unyielding, O Death.” For Nicholson, who had known her in his youth, “To end her life at this point was like ending a book: it had a certain artistic integrity.”
Happiness Woolf’s last act bookended a breakdown and attempted suicide in 1913-1915, the period during which Virginia Stephen married Leonard Woolf and finished a first novel begun in 1907 when she was the same age as her doomed protagonist Rachel Vinrace. However irrelevant Woolf’s life and work may seem to the mass murder of children, there’s no doubt that the guns and bombs and mass murder of two wars descended on her fine-tuned sensibility with catastrophic force. The note Woolf left for her husband on the day she took her life is heroic in its determination that he not feel in any way responsible. On this dark occasion, she stresses one word above all others, telling him “You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible dise a s e c a m e …. W hat I want to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient and incredibly good …. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Ever y thing has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness.” Besides echoing a previous line, her last words, “I don’t think t wo people could have been happier than we have been,” echoes a significant moment in The Voyage Out, when Rachel’s fiancé sits beside her death bed thinking “They had now what they had always wanted to have, the union which had been impossible while they lived. Unconscious whether he thought the words or spoke them aloud, he said, ‘No two people have ever been so happy as we have been.’” Rachel and Water Described by E.M. Forster as “a strange tragic inspired novel about English tourists in an impossible South American hotel,” The Voyage Out begins with a vividly imagined portrayal of London seven years ahead of the “Unreal City” in T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland (1922). Right away there are hints of the author’s psychic unrest in references to “the friction of people brushing past,” the traffic moving across Waterloo Bridge “like the line of animals in a shooting gallery,” the motor cars “more like spiders in the moon than terrestrial objects,” and the thought that when “one gave up seeing the beauty that clothed

things, this was the skeleton beneath,” all these impressions coming through the medium of a middleaged woman whose mind is “like a wound exposed to dry in the air.” At first you assume the woman, Helen Ambrose, is the novel’s central character rather than her niece Rachel. Even after Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose have boarded the ship owned by Rachel’s father, the focus remains on Helen. Our first view of Rachel is through the eyes of her aunt: “Helen looked at her. Her face was weak rather than decided, saved from insipidity by the large enquiring eyes; denied beauty, now that she was sheltered indoors, by the lack of colour and definite outline. Moreover, a hesitation in speaking, or rather a tendency to use the wrong words, made her seem more than normally incompetent for her years. … Yes! how clear it was that she would be vacillating, emotional, and when you said something to her it would make no more lasting impression than the stroke of a stick upon water.” If you’ve come to T he Voy a g e Out aware of the circumstances of the author’s death and of her work’s primary metaphorical element, it’s hard to dismiss even the most offhand reference to water, particularly when you’re onboard ship headed for the sea on a river that “had a certain amount of troubled yellow light in it” and “ran with great force.” The dark fate of the narrative is foreshadowed when Rachel and Helen are together on deck, “leaning over the rail, side by side, as the ship tries to “make head against the wind.” When Rachel gasps, “It blows — it blows!” the words are “rammed down her throat.” They take shelter inside, but the room “has nothing of the shut stationary character of a room on shore.” The chapter ends with Helen glancing back at Rachel, “expecting that as two of the same sex they would leave the room together.” Instead, “Rachel rose, looked vaguely into Helen’s face, and remarked with her slight stammer, ‘I’m going out to t-t-triumph in the wind.’” That sounds like the cry of an author finding herself. And the more you know of Virginia Woolf’s poetry of the elements, the more you feel the shifting, surging undercurrent of the narrative, and never more than when you find yourself reeling
in the face of the untimely death of the girl who meant to “triumph in the wind.” When a character based on Lytton Strachey asks if she believes “in a personal God,” Rachel knows what Woolf knows, speaking again with a stammer: “I believe — I believe … there are things we don’t know about, and the world might change in a minute and anything appear.” Words and Music As E.M. Forster has observed, Virginia Woolf could “never let go of poetry” but was always “snatching bits from the flux of life as they float past, and out of these bits she builds novels.” Once I became attached to Rachel as a character, I was less interested in the novel’s skillful portrait of the English colony in that “impossible South American hotel,” giving most of my attention to the blooming of love between Rachel and Terence Hewet, an aspiring novelist at work on a book titled Silence. Another way you know Rachel is Woolf’s vessel is that she’s an artist in her own right, with a passion and a gift for music: “Up and up the steep spiral of a very late Beethoven sonata she climbed, like a person ascending a ruined staircase, energetically at first, then more laboriously advancing her feet with effort until she could go no higher and returned with a run to begin at the very bottom again.” To Say What Can’t Be Said A societal breakthrough of sorts occurs when Woolf sets the stiff, super-talky microcosm of England dancing, “the dancers holding hands and shouting out, ‘D’you ken John Peel,’ as they swung faster and faster and faster” until the chain gave way, and they “went flying across the room in all directions, to land upon the floor or the chairs or in each other’s arms as seemed most convenient.” And of course it’s Rachel who provides the music that inspires the most delirious moments of the dance, Rachel who keeps on playing, passing “from John Peel to Bach, who was at that time the subject of her intense enthusiasm.” The effect is comparable to that of a novelist taking command of the scene: As the dancers sat and listened, “their nerves were quieted,” they “sat very still” and “began to see themselves and their lives, and the whole of human life advancing very nobly under the direction of the music. They felt themselves ennobled.” When Rachel stops playing, one young woman thanks her for the happiest night of her life. For her, Rachel’s music “just seems to say all the things one can’t say oneself.” Rachel and Emma his is how it is when your heart is with Rachel, as it is with Emma González, whose stunning silence seems to say all the things one can’t say oneself. Virginia Woolf’s last message was delivered in the knowledge of impending death. Emma’s message was to stand in silent defiance of death and in silent union with her fallen classmates. —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton’s Passive Land Resources Could Reduce Cost Impact of School, Housing Issues
To the Editor: Many residents live here because we value the ethnic and economic diversity of Princeton, not to mention the excellence of its schools. Now we have to absorb significant costs and potentially higher taxes for another expansion of our schools and the construction of potentially 753 affordable housing units. The exact number of units is unknown since discussions about the New Jersey Court ruling have been conducted in two closed Council meetings. Princeton residents (and taxpayers) need to be included in the resolution of these issues. Creative solutions can then be sought from all, and not just implemented at will by our elected representatives, municipal staff, and the School Board. For example, Princeton has significant passive land resources that should be considered to reduce the cost impact of both these requirements. Remedial zoning could also contribute to the solution. Simply increasing our taxes will only drive out the longterm residents who have contributed to the diversity of Princeton. Transparency is needed so we can all participate in the solution.

Challenges PCH Faced Finding Homes for Griggs Farm Victims Demonstrates Need for More Affordable Housing
To the Editor: Two-and-a-half months after the tragic december 27, 2017 fire at Griggs Farm, nearly all of the 34 displaced residents who needed to find temporary housing have secured affordable homes in the area, enabling them to maintain key community, school, and employment connections over the next 10-12 months while the building is being reconstructed. Princeton Community Housing (PCH), a nonprofit organization, and the Human Services department (HSd) of the municipality of Princeton have been working closely with the residents throughout this time. PCH greatly thanks all the donors who provided generous support to help the residents. Recent gifts have provided financial support to all the displaced residents, including instances where funds were needed for security deposits or to close the gap between the monthly rent for temporary affordable homes and the monthly rent a resident was paying at Griggs Farm (approximately 30 percent of their income). Previous gifts, as noted earlier, helped PCH to pay for six weeks of emergency housing, as well as to provide money, gift cards, food, clothing, and other items directly to the residents. Because we have reached this temporary housing milestone and distributed this financial and other support to the displaced residents, we know we have helped them regain a measure of stability and independence to move forward with their efforts to bring normalcy back to their lives. We will continue to work with residents to help them identify the area organizations that can best provide the resources other than temporary housing that the residents may need. While PCH will be transitioning from active solicitation for donations to the Griggs Farm Fire Relief Fund, we will distribute to residents any additional contributions we may receive. We will be focusing efforts on working with the Griggs Farm Condo association to restore the building — and on moving forward with our larger mission to build, manage, and advocate for affordable housing opportunities in
COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540
Princeton. The challenges PCH and HSd faced in locating temporary affordable homes for the residents demonstrate the significant need for additional affordable homes in the area. PCH was not able to place the Griggs Farm residents in other PCH apartments because there are no vacancies and wait lists are 12-24 months long. in Princeton, six percent of families are below the federal poverty level and another 18 percent are below the “aLiCE Threshold” (the United Way’s measuring a Household Survival Budget). additionally, because only about 10 percent of Princeton homes are deed-restricted as affordable for low- or moderate-income households to rent or buy, there’s a wide gap between the supply and demand for affordable housing. We continue to welcome unrestricted contributions for PCH to support our mission. These gifts will be used for the programs benefiting the over 1,000 current residents, as well as ongoing efforts to expand the inventory of affordable homes in the area. To make a gift, please see our website: www.princetoncommunityhousing.org. EdWaRd TRUSCELLi Executive director
Historical Society of Princeton Extends Gratitude To Community Partners, Members, Donors, Volunteers
To the Editor: on Wednesday, March 14, 2018, the Historical Society of Princeton held its public annual meeting, with the Board and staff extending gratitude to the community partners, members, donors, and volunteers who all help execute the important work of HSP. i want to echo those sentiments here. 2017 was an exciting time of growth and innovation for HSP, a hub for experiential history education and stewardship of collections and places. By promoting historical curiosity at all ages, we are building citizens who are critical thinkers, who consider nuance and multiple perspectives, and who know how to make informed decisions. This is essential for healthy civic culture. With this in mind, we devoted our energies in 2017 to expanding the diversity and reach of our public programming, often partnering with other like-minded community organizations, which ultimately doubled the audience for our history education services. We launched the Historical Fiction Book Group, with the Princeton Public Library, the open archive series, the Speaking of History series of panel discussions, and family programs such as the Chasing George! bike ride. Walking tours, including new themed tours, continued to grow in popularity. We amped up our co-curricular support for schools, completing third-grade local history curriculum units, offering professional development free-of-charge to teachers, and piloting outreach programs for high school students that promote exciting, skills-based history classrooms. These are just a few of the many public history programs HSP provides, benefiting thousands of people each year. our supporters and partners make this work possible. in particular, i would like to celebrate the efforts of HSP’s stellar volunteer trustees. i am thrilled to announce that the HSP Board elected four new trustees during the annual Meeting. all are members of the Princeton community and together form a cohort of unprecedented quality. Peter Gibson is the founder and owner of Princeton online, a hyper-local community web presence in Princeton. He has served on many local nonprofit boards, including those of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed association, and Recording for the Blind and dyslexic (now Learning ally). Caroline Hayes is a co-founder and principal of Finitive, a technology company that facilitates direct institutional investment into the alternative lending sector. She has over
a decade of experience advising and investing in companies within the financial services industry. Matthew Henderson is a managing partner at Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s international Realty, where he handles the firm’s finances. He is a Princeton native, and previously worked for Bear Stearns on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and in brand management for Johnson & Johnson. John Marshall is a 45-year Princeton resident and the former owner of Main Street Café, Bistro, and Catering from 1988-2016. He is currently the president of the Princeton Merchants association and has also served as the president of the Friends of Carson Road Woods since 2003. The annual meeting culminated in a lively lecture by Seton Hall University’s Professor Emeritus Richard J. Connors. in honor of the centennial of World War i, he delivered a talk entitled New Jersey and the Great War, outlining New Jersey’s important economic function in the war, and the lasting impact of the war industry. HSP supplemented the talk by displaying collection items that illuminated the war’s effect on Princeton. The annual meeting is always a happy celebration of the Princeton community and HSP’s contributions to its vibrancy. We thank everyone in attendance and all those who help advance the work of the Society throughout the year. izzY kaSdiN Executive director, Historical Society of Princeton
“Why Does It Seem That Every Major Decision In Princeton Is Made Behind Closed Doors?”
To the Editor: Princeton residents deserve more information before the budget vote for new school construction. We have been told that the architectural plans are based on new pedagogical approaches. Why haven’t we been given information about what they are? or are the building schemes driving the pedagogy? it’s time for the superintendent and Board of Education to open up and share. Why does it seem that every major decision in Princeton is made behind closed doors? Let the sunshine in and let the public and the media see what is proposed so that a real discussion can take place. SHEiLa SidERMaN Bouvant drive
“An Exciting Time to Be a Candidate In Princeton,” According to PCDO-Endorsed Eve Niedergang
To the Editor: on Sunday, March 18, the Princeton Community democratic organization (PCdo) met to endorse candidates for local and county office. after a spirited and informative debate among the seven candidates for Princeton Council, i was honored to receive 77 percent of the votes cast by the more than 200 PCdo members present and, thus, the endorsement of the PCdo. i would like to extend my appreciation to the PCdo executive board, which worked hard to plan and orchestrate the endorsement meeting; to the members of the PCdo who devoted three hours of their Sunday evening to attend the debate and vote for their candidates of choice; to Nicole Plett of the League of Women Voters, who moderated the debate; and to Mercer County’s three incumbent democratic Freeholders — ann Cannon, Sam Frisby, and Pat Colavita — who also addressed the audience and took questions on Sunday evening. The energy in the room and the interest in the political process was tremendous; it is an exciting time to be a candidate here in Princeton. as i said in my remarks on Sunday, Princeton is a vital community, but we face some serious challenges (among them affordability, sustainability, and how to deal with development). i want to listen to your concerns so that we can work together to surmount these challenges in a way that enhances Princeton’s unique character. i ask for your vote in the democratic primary on Tuesday, June 5. Further information about my candidacy and my contact information can be found on my website, eveforprinceton.org. EVE NiEdERGaNG Forester drive

In classical music circles, they call a kid with promise a prodigy. In rock ’n’ roll, the buzz is about the best unsigned bands. Out in Hollywood, they like to refer to an emerging young actress as an ingénue. But I don’t know if anybody ever coined a term for an upand-coming painter with great potential. But if they did, that’s

what they’d be calling Alison Kruse, New Jersey’s best kept secret. Until now. Born and raised in Princeton, Kruse comes from a long line of Canadian artists. She ventured north of the border to get her BFA from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. She is now headed to France to be an artistin-residence. Her haunting paintings strike this critic as heavily influenced by such masters as Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, and Edvard Munch. But she has certainly developed a unique style of her own, reflecting a combination of wisdom and talent carefully cultivated over many years. Here, the unassuming, undiscovered artist talks about her life’s calling. Kam Williams: Hi Alison, thanks for the interview. Alison Kruse: Thank you for having me, Kam. KW: What is your earliest childhood memory? AK: I remember going on car trips and being in the back seat with my sister and being snuggled into 10 different blankets. I don’t know how old I was. I just remember taking note how cozy I was. KW: How old were you when you started painting? AK: I can’t tell you when I started painting. Maybe 4? I was more into drawing when I was young. I started drawing before I could talk. I was super into drawing sleeping people. And I learned how to oil paint when I was 11. KW: Was there a particular moment in your formative years that inspired you to become an artist? AK: I’ve been extremely lucky to have multiple moments. My mom started taking me to Philadelphia’s, Princeton University’s, and other museums when I was a toddler. She loves art and is an artist herself. My grandmother was also an artist and encouraged me, too. So, at an early age, I was able to identify different painters and movements: Classical Realism, Impressionism, Cubism, Abstract, Art Deco, and others. I started taking classes with Heather Barros, a Princeton artist, very early on, and she gave me a lot of confidence and introduced me to oil paint. And in my senior year of high school, I studied with John Kavalos, who shared his boundless insights into the art world and inspired me to work hard at my craft and to take art seriously.

LYNDHURST MANSION: Howard Zar, executive director of Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, N.Y., will present “Jay Gould and His Daughters; the Forgotten Collectors of the Gilded Age” at Rago Arts and Auction Center in Lambertville on Thursday, April 5. The presentation aims to re-establish the Goulds as important art collectors and major Tiffany patrons, as well as highlight Lyndhurst Mansion as one of the few remaining venues to experience the taste of the early Gilded Age. KW: When I look at your paintings, I see the shadows of Edward Hopper and the angst of Edvard Munch. And I also see something new. How would you describe your work? AK: Wow! Thanks, Kam. I would describe my work as emotional. It’s very expressive and, although I’m experimenting with different styles, the undertone is always filled with some type of intense emotion. KW: Who is your favorite artist? AK: Currently, Cecily Brown and Lou Ros. KW: What inspires you besides art? AK: Film and entertainment. A good film inspires me because storytelling triggers my imagination. When I watch a movie, I’m especially noticing the color palette and tone. If I weren’t a painter I would want to be working in the film industry because I’m so fascinated by moving pictures. With my art, I want to transport you to a different place or make you feel an emotion, which is the same as what a great film does. KW: What will you be doing in France? AK: I’m going to a creative residency. I’ll have two weeks of uninterrupted time where I can focus on my art and cultivating new ideas. I’ve devoted this year to traveling and this one will be my third residency. KW: When do you feel the most content?
AK: At my easel. KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for? AK: Reversing climate change. KW: Is there any question no one has ever asked you, that you wish someone would? AK: Will you marry me? Just kidding. KW: If you could have a superpower, which one would you choose? AK: Teleportation. KW: Finally, as Samuel L. Jackson asks, what’s in your wallet? AK: An ID, a library card, credit, debit card, a Small World punch card, and my health insurance card. KW: Thanks again for the time, Alison, and have fun in France. AK: My pleasure, Kam! To see more of Alison’s work, visit www.alisonskruse.com/ paintings. —Kam Williams
“Forgotten Collectors of the Gilded Age” at Rago Arts
On Thursday, April 5, Rago Auctions and Howard Zar, executive director of Lyndhurst Mansion, will present “Jay Gould and His Daughters; the Forgotten Collectors of the Gilded Age.” Although Jay Gould was one of the most important art collectors of the early Gilded Age, the social stigmatization levied against him during his lifetime left him and his heirs largely forgotten after his death. This presentation aims to re-establish the Goulds as important art collectors and major Tiffany patrons, as well as highlight Lyndhurst Mansion as one of the few remaining venues to experience the taste of the early Gilded Age. Howard Zar has extensive and multi-faceted experience in art history, historic preservation, finance, and marketing. He started his career as an art specialist and auctioneer, working full-time while simultaneously pursuing a master’s degree in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts of New York University, and later received an MBA from Yale. Zar has personally been involved with numerous preservation organizations. Rago Arts and Auction Center opens Thursday, April 5 at noon. A wine and cheese reception begins at 5 p.m. The presentation begins at 6 p.m. It is located at 333 North Main Street in Lambertville. Call (609) 397-9374 x119 to RSVP, or go to www.ragoarts.com.

The James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., now presents “Rae Sloan Bredin: Harmony and Power,” an exhibition showcasing the work of renowned Pennsylvania Impressionist painter Rae Sloan Bredin (1880-1933), whose work is characterized by refinement, dignity, and serenity. As much of Bredin’s oeuvre is privately held, this show marks his first solo retrospective in 85 years. “Rae Sloan Bredin: Harmony and Power” will be on view through July 15. Bredin’s paintings depict an idyllic vision of life along the Delaware River, replete with dappled sunlight, arched shadows, sparkling water, and towering trees. Unlike most of his local peers, Bredin’s paintings often include figures, especially women and children, in formal portraits and out in nature as well as in intimate interiors. “Though active during the rise of Modernism, Bredin’s style remained consistent throughout his career,” said Louise Feder, assistant curator/interim chief curator. “Thoughtful and deliberate, he was committed to creating scenes of true beauty and elegance. His slow, painstaking process resulted in spectacular paintings that feel both grand and effortless, many of which have been in demand by collectors and institutions both during his life and after his sudden death at age 52.” Bredin’s life, work, and career are lasting evidence of
formal education was complete before his first trip to Bucks County, the awards, commissions, sales, and exposure that defined Bredin’s mature career are closely linked to his position within this particular community. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown, Pa. It is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday noon–5 p.m. For more information, visit MichenerArtMuseum. org or call (215) 340-9800.
PU Museum Adds Works From Gitter-Yelen Collection
Sixteen major works of Japanese art from the distinguished Gitter-Yelen Collection, also known as the Manyo’an Collection of Art of Dr. Kurt A. Gitter and Alice Yelen Gitter, were recently added to the collection of the Princeton University Art Museum. Dating from the Edo period (1615-1868) and including works by important artists representing the categories of Literati, Zen, Rinpa, and Individualist painting, these works further enhance the museum’s rich collection of Asian art for exhibition, teaching, and research. “These superb paintings build on what is one of our strategic collecting priorities, and come from one of the most important private collections of Japanese art,” said James Steward, Nancy A.

support of Kurt and Alice in enriching the experience both of Princeton students and of all visitors to our museum.” Dr. Gitter began collecting art in the 1960s while working as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force on the island of Kyushu, Japan. The collection has grown significantly since then, and is primarily located in New Orleans at the GitterYelen Art Study Center, which is dedicated to the research and study of Japanese art and American self-taught art. The impetus for bringing these works to Princeton grew from the object-based teaching of Andrew Watsky, professor of Japanese art and archaeology at Princeton University. On two occasions, Professor Watsky and curators of Asian art from the Princeton University Art Museum, Cary Liu and Zoe Kwok, brought art history graduate students to New Orleans to engage with works in the Gitter-Yelen Collection in intensive, multiday seminars. Dr. Gitter was an active participant in these seminars and added significantly to the discussions. The addition of the works from the Gitter-Yelen Collection enhances the museum’s commitment to fostering in-depth, object-based teaching and research using original works of art. “I am thrilled that Princeton students will now be able to study, and be inspired by, these important pieces from the Gitter-Yelen Collection,” said Watsky. “Nothing replaces the experience of encountering works of art face-to-face, and with these additions, students will engage areas of Japanese art that Princeton previously lacked.” A number of these works, together with additional loans from the Gitter-Yelen Collection, will join seminal works from the museum’s collection in the upcoming exhibition “Painting Place in Japan,” which will be on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from Oct. 20 through Feb. 24, 2019. The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.

rection, and no energy was wasted. Pérez Mesa brought the orchestra together with a dynamic and technically brilliant piano soloist to perform Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor, featuring soloist Yekwon Sunwoo. A 2017 Gold Medalist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Sunwoo showed not only virtuosic abilities but also great sensitivity and the ability to change the mood of the music with a single note. He demonstrated a very light touch when needed, with a bit of humor in more delicate cadences. Sunwoo played the first movement cadenza as if it were a meditation for himself, with especially thoughtful descending and cascading passages and fierce octaves. He played the third movement’s technical fireworks with a bit of sauciness, bringing out the Gypsy dance effect. The accompanying orchestra showed its range from a muted palette to a very full sound, with especially lyrical solo flute playing from Zorime Mercedes Vega García. The orchestra’s journey through the music of Cuba was through a piece by Amadeo Roldán, a composer who lived in France and Spain before settling in Cuba in the early 20th century. Roldán’s 1926 Tres Pequeños Poemas demonstrated why Roldán, even in his short life of less than 40 years, was considered a leader in the Afrocubanismo movement in Cuba. Beginning with dreamy violins and an elegant melody high in the register of the celli, this set of three short pieces showed Latin flavor in a trio of precise trombones, an unusual piccolo solo, and lively melodic lines, all accompanied by a percussion gourd. Flutist Vega García and oboist Fernández Neira created a pastoral atmosphere, with a bit of offbeat swing, in the second Poema, and a pair of clarinets, accompanied by claves and pizzicato lower strings, added an effectively jazzy feel. he National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba returned to the Western European repertory with a solid rendition of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major, playing the classical music on the delicate side, with clean ornaments and solid interplay between the winds and strings. The orchestra closed the concert with two encores, bringing Viejo Habana to life through two pieces recalling the Latin swing of a Tropicana nightclub atmosphere. —Nancy Plum

he island of Cuba, 90 miles off the coast of Florida and just about the size of Pennsylvania, packs a wallop in performing arts and culture. Latin America and the Caribbean are known for indigenous dance forms and music full of percussion and brass, but Cuba also has strong roots in the Western European classical tradition. Cuba’s orchestral ancestry dates back to the 18th century, when the country’s major cathedrals paralleled their counterparts in Europe by establishing instrumental ensembles. Cuba joined the evolution of the symphony orchestra in the 19th century, and by the 1930s, Havana boasted two full symphonic ensembles. In 1959, one National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba emerged, and has been well representing the country worldwide since. Cuban culture has been hard to consistently experience in this country, but as doors have been opening, the National Symphony Orchestra recently slipped through for a tour of the United States. The final stop of the 90-member ensemble was at Richardson Auditorium this past Sunday afternoon, where conductor Enrique Pérez Mesa and the orchestra showed Princeton the depth of Cuba’s musical identity. Sunday afternoon’s concert, presented by McCarter Theatre Center, blended classic orchestral repertory with music rooted in indigenous Cuban idioms. Conductor Pérez Mesa began the concert with a work recalling another country’s nationalistic struggle; Pyotr Ilyich Tchakovsky composed the popular 1812 Overture at a time when Russia was commemorating its 1812 victory over Napoleon’s troops. The opening measures of the piece were played by the National Symphony Orchestra with rich and edgy lines from the celli and violas, joined by well-blended winds. Pérez Mesa built intensity in the piece well, taking a dramatic approach to the music, but with very effective dynamic shadings. The familiar horn themes were clean, and oboist Frank Ernesto Fernández Neira provided very expressive solo playing. As a conductor, Pérez Mesa is from a bygone subtle and minimalistic school of conducting where economy of gesture has the greatest effect. In each work, the slightest movement of Pérez Mesa’s hands could turn the orchestra in a different di-

Music and Theater Artemis String Quartet Returns to PU Concerts
VENEZUELAN AFRO-SOUL IN HOPEWELL: The Betsayda Machado & Parranda el Clavo performance on April 5 begins at 8 p.m. Machado (center) hails from a small village of 1,500 people called El Clavo, located near Venezuela’s Caribbean coastline. El Clavo’s inhabitants are mostly Afro-Venezuelans, descendants of slaves who had worked on the area’s cacao plantations. Music is the native language of El Clavo and every story and every celebration has songs that evolved over time in parties, parades, and processions. Betsayda Machado & Parranda el Clavo’s Afro-Venezuelan music is rooted in the freedom songs of the village of El Clavo. Tickets start at $30 and can be reserved at the Hopewell Theater online.
On Thursday, April 5 at 8 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium, the Artemis String Quartet makes a long-awaited return to the Princeton University Concerts series.

Since their formation in L üb eck, G er ma ny t hree decades ago, the Artemis Quartet has performed all around the world in concerts that have achieved legendary status. Programming their own critically renowned series at the Berlin Philharmonie since 2004, and holding the distinctive post of Quartet in Residence at the Vienna Konzerthaus in 2011, the ensemble has also collaborated with artists such as Jörg Widmann, Leif Ove Andsnes, and Truls Mørk. Passion, power, and harnessed chaos are the hallmarks of their style. The New York Times described a recent concert at Carnegie Hall as “a warm, alert performance, shivering with energy even in its silences.” The ensemble returns to Princeton after a tremendous 2013 performance, bringing
with them Anthea Kreston as a new second violinist as well as a varied program of masterworks that centers around personal stories of inspiration.

NEW WORLDS: On Thursday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m., Bill Murray joins cellist Jan Vogler on stage at McCarter Theatre. Murray and Vogler met during their travels, became friends and, curious about each other’s artistic world and interests, decided to work together on a project—a program that celebrates the bridges artists have built between America and Europe. Murray became hooked on classical music after meeting the cellist, and together they created an evening of songs and literary readings paired with chamber music by Vogler and his colleagues — violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez. Murray, as both singer and narrator, brings his charm and wit to songs by Foster, Gershwin, Bernstein, and Mancini, and readings of classic American prose and poetry by Whitman, Twain, Thurber, and Hemingway, in dialogue with Vogler’s trio in music by Ravel, Bach, and Shostakovich.

CINEMA REVIEW
Elderly Couple Embarks on Eventful Road Trip in Romantic Movie
E
lla (Helen Mirren) and John Spencer ( Donald Sutherland) have been happily married for more than 50 years, and their love hasn’t diminished one iota in spite of his battle with dementia or by hers with brain cancer. Therefore, the inseparable couple resisted their doctors who wanted them to move into different healthcare facilities. Instead, the 80+ year-olds decide to share one last vacation in their mothballed RV fondly called “The Leisure Seeker.” They plan to drive from Wellesley down to Key West where John, a retired English professor, hopes to visit the home of Ernest Hemingway. So, without letting their doctors or children (Janet Moloney and Christian McKay) know what they’re up to, they pack provisions and a shotgun and take to the highway in their trusty RV. What ensues is an eventful road trip that is a mix of tenderness, nostalgia, and a little gallows humor. Thus unfolds The Leisure Seeker, a romantic film directed by Paolo Virzi (Like Crazy). The movie is the tal-
ented Italian director’s first English language feature. Virzi wisely chose two consummate actors to play the leads. Helen Mirren disappears into her role, and has a thick drawl as a sunny steel magnolia from South Carolina and Donald Sutherland is quite convincing as an intermittently lucid Alzheimer’s victim who lectures strangers about literary greats one minute and becomes lost in his thoughts the next. The story is loosely based on Michael Zadoorian’s bestseller of the same name which originally had the Spencers as Detroit natives who set out for Disneyland. Instead, Ella and John enjoy the experiences they encounter on their way to Florida from New England, including a hilarious encounter with a geriatric patient played by the late Dick Gregory, who appears in a memorable cameo. Good (HH). Rated R for sexuality and mature themes. Running time: 112 minutes. Production Studios: Bac Films/Rai Cinema/Indiana Production Company. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics. —Kam Williams

t is no doubt the most difficult time for most people. Making the arrangements for a loved one’s burial or cremation and all the accompanying details is an emotionally stressful experience. B eing able to rely on compassionate support and knowledgeable assistance can help to ease what is often an unbearable situation.
IT’S NEW To Us
“It is important to be compassionate, authentic, and genuine when we are dealing with people who are suffering during such a difficult time,” says Todd Michael Cohan, owner of Hopewell Memorial Home. Located at 71 East Prospect Street in Hopewell, the funeral home has a long history. The building dates to 1948, when John Cromwell had it built to provide a comfortable setting for funerals, viewings, and visitations. For most of its history, it was known as the Cromwell Funeral Home. Quality Service Cohan purchased the building and business in 2013, provided extensive renovations, and renamed it Hopewell Memorial Home. It serves all of Mercer County as well as nearby Bucks County in Pennsylvania. “I felt a commitment to the town of Hopewell to con-
tinue the tradition that was started so many years ago by John Cromwell, and to provide quality service at a reasonable cost to the community,” he explains. “Our goal is to offer whatever service our clients need, including burial arrangements, cremation, helping them to find a cemetery, headstone, assisting with all funeral arrangements, and holding viewings and visitations. We also take the deceased to the cemetery, line up the cars, etc.” Christopher Merlino, who is Hopewell Memorial’s funeral director, has worked for 31 years in the funeral business, and has extensive experience. His mission is to make sure that everything is done with dignity and respect for the families of the deceased. “I started working in this field at a young age. I was 17, and helping out a friend,” he explains. “I became accustomed to the business, and realized I wanted to help people during a time of such need. “I studied mortuary scie n ce at Mercer C ou nt y Community College, which is a three-year program and two-year internship at a funeral home, and then I was licensed by the state.” All Faiths Providing viewings, visitations, and funeral services is a major part of a funeral home’s operation, and ensuring that this is as respectful and comforting for the family of the deceased
is vitally important, points out Merlino. “All faiths are honored and can have a ser v ice here. Sometimes, families ask for special music. We have a piano, and we can also have recorded music. One family asked for Frank Sinatra recordings because the deceased liked him so much. “Sometimes. families like to have a particular theme for the viewing or visitation. One time, a family wanted an island theme, and all the visitors wore flowered shirts.” He adds that the number of people in attendance can vary. “So many people are on the move today, and sometimes, there are not many people at the viewing. Other times, if the deceased was a prominent person, there can be hundreds of people.” Merlino also reports that the wishes of the deceased can sometimes include requests for a special item to be buried with them, something that had meaning for them. “We have had requests for Bibles, prayers, photos, books, magazines, and once, a fishing pole! People have lots of different ideas about their final arrangements.” The necessity to be on call at all hours of the day and night makes the job of a funeral director very intense and demanding, he adds. “You never know when you will be called, and it can be busier during certain times of the year, including during the holidays.”
And even with all of his experience, certain aspects of the profession can be especially difficult. As he notes, “You never get used to it when the deceased is a child or a baby. That is very hard.” Final Arrangements Both Christopher Merlino and Todd Cohan point out the importance of making the wishes of the deceased known ahead of time regarding burial, cremation, and other aspects of the final arrangements. “It is really so important to plan ahead. Family members are just not in a state of mind to make rational decisions when a death has just occurred. We are always willing to go to a person’s home to help with a plan if they wish. This will avoid possible family disagreements.” In addition, reports Merlino, “Today, there are funeral agents who help to see that the wishes of the deceased are carried out in case of family disputes.” Hopewell Memorial offers a large selection of coffins at a wide price range, as well as a variety of ornaments to be fixed to the top of the coffin. Coffins are typically wood or metal, ranging in price from $1,600 to $12,000. A selection of cremation urns and boxes is also available. Less costly than burial, cremation has become an increasingly large part of Hopewell Memorial’s business, reports Cohan. Cremation only without services is $2,000. “We always try to work within someone’s budget,” he explains. “Also, if people make a plan ahead of time,

COMPASSIONATE CARE: “I feel I am able to be there when people need you the most. It is important for someone to be there for them at this difficult time. A compassionate nature is a must for a funeral director.” Christopher Merlino, funeral director of Hopewell Memorial Home, is shown in the chapel of the newly renovated facility. they don’t have to pre-pay. No payment is necessary until they need the service. We’ll go to their house and offer flexible financing. We want to do whatever we can to help. They can also transfer the arrangements if they should move to another location.” Online Planning In addition, continuing education to keep up with the latest advances is very important to Merlino and Cohan. Hopewell Memorial strives to offer new services that can benefit clients. “We have established online cremation planning at our mercercremation.com website, and we are now offering funeral webcasting, which allows people to view the service from their computer, tablet, or iPhone anywhere in the world,” reports Cohan. “I also hope to expand our cremation service to include a separate cremation location, where people can come to pay their respects and celebrate the life of the deceased. “I hope people will consider us when the time comes. We are a place where they will find compassionate and comforting attention and care, People are often very
uncomfortable with death. Some are strong, some give way. They all handle grief very differently. “We try to figure out a way to help people be at ease. I want them to be comfortable here. Whatever I can do to help them, I try to do.” His work with Hopewell Memorial has been a profound experience for him, says Cohan. “Having purchased the business has changed my life and made me more appreciative. This fulfills something that was missing, and I feel I am giving back to the community. It’s so important to celebrate the lives of those you love. “Now we have the opportunity at Hopewell Memorial to reach out to people and provide comfort when it is needed most. Let us help you design a remembrance that captures the history, personality, and accomplishments that make every life unique.” Hopewell Memorial Home & Cromwell Funeral Home of Hopewell Valley is open seven days from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ( 609 ) 466 -3632.

PU Men’s Hockey Falls to Ohio State in NCAAs, But Postseason Run Leaving Indelible Memories
W
hen Matt Nelson and David Hallisey joined the Princeton University men’s hockey team four years ago, things were pretty bleak. The Tigers posted a 4-233 record in their freshman campaign in 2014-15 and then went 5-23-3 the next winter. “When we came in, the culture of the team was a losing culture,” said senior defenseman Nelson. “Guys expected to lose every night.” But last winter, the Tigers turned the corner, going 1516-3 and advancing to the second round of the ECAC Hockey playoffs. Building on that progress, the Tigers caught fire down the stretch this winter, winning the ECACH tournament and bringing an eight-game unbeaten streak into its NCAA Midwest regional semifinal matchup against Ohio State last Saturday at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa. “I think over the past four years it’s kind of changed,” said Nelson, a 6’0, 200-pound native of Edina, Minn. “Things started to click last year. You can kind of see it all come together this year, at the end of the year, our playoff run. Senior forward David Hallisey has appreciated Princeton’s journey up the ECACH ladder. “The whole college ex-

perience over four years is a learning experience and you kind of go through ups and downs,” said Hallisey, a 5’10, 180-pound native of Wethersfield, Conn. “It’s not like a single moment where everything figures itself out. It’s a learning process.” While the fourth-seeded Tigers took their lumps in falling behind top-seeded Ohio State 4-0, Nelson and Hallisey ended with special moments as each scored a goal in the last minute of the contest to make it a 4-2 final. While Hallisey had hoped for a different outcome, scoring with 10 seconds left to get the final tally of the campaign was a nice culmination to a superb career that saw him score 81 points on 37 goals and 44 assists. “If there is a way to go out well, that’s probably a way to go out,” said Hallisey, managing a smile, reflecting on the goal which was assisted by Nelson and fellow senior Max Becker. “Scoring as a senior class on the ice there twice in 45 seconds is a lot of fun.” Nelson, who had just five career goals coming into Saturday, won’t soon forget his parting shot which got Princeton on the board with 26 seconds remaining in regulation. “It was good to have all the seniors out on the ice,”
said Nelson, whose tally was assisted on by Hallisey and another classmate, defenseman and team captain Joe Grabowski. “The coaches are good about that. They’ve done it in the past, giving us a chance to soak it in. It’s something I will take for the rest of my life. Being able to put two in and not get blanked is definitely a bonus.” Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty, who came to Princeton along with the Class of 2018, seeing his seniors thrive to the end was a bonus. “For these two seniors [David Hallisey, Matt Nelson] to have four wins and five wins, a game under 500, and get to this stage and hoisting a trophy; not many teams get to do that,” said Fogarty, whose team ended the winter with a 19-13-4 record. “They’ve done something special, they don’t have that feeling right now, but they’ll soon look back at this game and realize to get here is very difficult, and they did something spectacular for Princeton University.” With Princeton having last won the ECACH tourney in 2008 and having last made the NCAA tourney in 2009, it was special being in Allentown and in the hunt for a spot in the Frozen Four. “It’s so tough to win a trophy or a tournament; you

get to the last 16 teams and you definitely have to earn your way, either through the body of work over the course of the season, or winning a championship,” added Fogarty. “Moving forward, the seniors have had a lot of reference points in the program around both positively and negatively, but the majority positively. A lot of those first and second year losses were by one goal, and we started to learn to play the way of where we believe to get to this point.” In reflecting on the loss to the Buckeyes, who went on to defeat Denver 5-1 the next day to win the regional, Fogarty acknowledged that Princeton ran into a tough foe. “Today was Ohio State’s game,” said Fogarty, whose club fell behind 2-0 on a pair of goals scored in a 20-second span in the first period and then yielded a pair of goals in first 10 minutes of the third period. “I thought their defense is very good. They’re a very good team.” Fogarty had a very good time guiding his squad through a stirring postseason run that saw the Tigers outscore their foes 29-10 in posting six straight playoff wins on the way to the ECACH title. “It’s great to play at this time of the season, but just to see the smile on their faces coming to the rink every day and enjoying practice is very satisfying as a coach,” said Fogarty. “They still enjoyed the past four years, but there’s a little more “oomph” in the step when they’re winning. Now, the program knows how to win. We have to make sure we’re moving forward that we remain sharp and have the focus in hand of hey, sometimes you don’t win a conference tournament, so let’s make sure our body of work through 29 games helps us in case any mishaps occur in the ECAC tournament.” In Fogarty’s view, the Tigers are poised for more trips to the national stage. “Where we’re at right now is a new starting point,” said Fogarty. “I’m sure this isn’t a finishing point for us, or waiting for another two, three, or ten years to get back.” F o r H a l l i s e y, s e e i n g Princeton earn respect from its ECACH rivals was a high point of the postseason run. “Just because of the history of Princeton in the past three years, being able to prove them wrong over and over and over again is just a lot of fun,” said Hallisey. “We were able to do that there to win the ECAC championship. Yeah, we lost our last game, but the game before that was a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of memories there.” Nelson, for his part, is leaving with indelible memories of his final campaign. “Being able to lift a trophy; Princeton hasn’t done that for ten years,” said Nelson, recalling the 2-1 overtime triumph against Clarkson in the ECACH championship game.
PARTING SHOT: Princeton University men’s hockey player Matt Nelson heads up the ice in a game this season. Last Saturday, senior defenseman Nelson scored a goal in a losing cause as fourth-seeded Princeton fell 4-2 to top-seeded Ohio State in the NCAA Midwest regional semifinals. The loss left the Tigers with a final record of 19-13-4. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “It’s something special. The whole school rallied behind us. We have great friends back on campus, great family and friends who traveled out here. I think it was something special for the entire community. To be able to put Princeton back on the map is something incredible and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
As Nelson leaves the program, he is very happy about the legacy being left by the Class of 2018. “I think we can stay with and beat any team in the country now, and that’s going to be the standard moving forward,” said Nelson. —Bill Alden

Starting last week with a bang, the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team produced a dramatic comeback at Penn State, rallying from a 9-5 second half deficit to pull out a 13-12 victory. “That was really a great win from being down and really fighting back” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer, ref lecting on the March 19 contest. “We showed a lot of grit, teamwork, and skill to pull out that win. It was really uplifting for the team.” Last Saturday against visiting Dartmouth, the Tigers tried valiantly to pull out another dramatic victory, rallying from a 13-6 deficit to draw within 14-12 before falling 15-12 to the Big Green. “You can’t live in that space all the time and think you are going to win every game,” said Sailer, whose team moved to 4-3 overall and 1-1 Ivy League. “We have got to work on getting off to better starts.” Sailer acknowledged that Dartmouth got off to a great star t against the Tigers, jumping out to an early 4-1 advantage and leading 7-4 at halftime. “Dartmouth just played a really smart game, they went so hard at us and their zone was tough,” said Sailer. “It was the first time we have seen a zone this season for the whole game and it took us a while to figure it out. We made some mistakes on the defensive end. We did not play our best game. You have to give credit to them. They really deserved it, they competed hard, they went after it.” Although the Princeton comeback fell short, Sailer likes the competitive fire she is seeing from her players. “That is a nice thing about the team, we may be down but we don’t think we are out,” said Sailer. “We kept coming back hard. We were able to string together some goals on offense; we were winning more draws in the second half. That really helped but ultimately we could never quite bring it to even.” The Tigers got a careerhigh three goals from sophomore Annie Cory, including two tallies in the last 4:47 of the contest. “Annie has been a real success story for us this year, she has just really put in a lot of work and effort,” said Sailer. “She is really coachable and is becoming a real key player for us. She is so smart on the inside and she can handle balls and find the cage. She did a good job in that game.” Freshman phenom Kyla Sears is enjoying a lot of success in her debut campaign, tallying four points on three goals and assist against the Big Green to give her a team-high 32 points (24 goals, 8 assists) so far this spring. “Kyla has been phenomenal, she is such a competitor,” said Sailer, noting that Sears was chasing down loose balls to prevent turnovers in the waning moments of the Dartmouth
game. “She is capable of really big plays. We are just so fortunate that she is on our team. She is threat every time she is on the field.” While the loss to the Big Green was disappointing, the Tigers still have plenty to play for. “The season is still out in front of us and we get into the thick of the Ivies after this week,” said Sailer. “We are a work in progress. We still have a lot of opportunities to get better and become the kind of team that we want to be. We are working hard to get there and hoping that it will pay off.” Sailer is looking for her team to be sharper in all areas of the game. “We just continue to have to develop our chemistry and awareness on the field,” said Sailer, noting that winning more draw controls, more
consistent goaltending, better defensive positioning, and sharper shooting are main areas of focus. “We have that in some of our players but our decision making, at times, needs work and our awareness, at times, needs work. We just have to be OK about the work we have in front of us.” With the Princeton hosting No. 12 Syracuse (6-4) on Thursday evening, it will need to produce some of its best work of the season to overcome the Orange. “They have a lot of talent; they have kids that have have great sticks and stick skills,” said Sailer, whose team plays at Delaware on March 31. “They have a couple of nice different looks in their zone defense. It’s going to be challenge, no doubt.” —Bill Alden
CORE VALUE: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Annie Cory heads upfield against Dartmouth last Saturday.

on to the lead that I had,â&#x20AC;? lamented Kolodzik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was talking to coach Ayres in the van afterwards and we said we really should have had that one. Then after you get over that, it is a process of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go to work,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that is exactly what I did.â&#x20AC;? The next day, Kolodzik put in some very good work, defe ate d s e con d - s e e de d Brandon Sorenson of Iowa 7-3 and then edged fourthseeded Troy Heilmann 3-2 to place third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go out and wrestle and it is the NCA A third place match and I really want to win,â&#x20AC;? said Kolodzik, who is just the sixth multiple-time All-American in program history and one of only three Tiger wrestlers (joining John Orr â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;85 and Greg Parker â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;03) to finish in the Top 5 at NCAAs over the last 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a constant mental battle, at least when you are first learning to flip that switch ever y time. W hat really helps me is to score points when I needed to but also, going forward, is the thought that if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this now, it is a bad habit.â&#x20AC;? While seeing the thirdplace finish as a step forward, Kolodzik has his sights set on becoming the second Tiger to w in t he NCA A crown with Bradley Glass having achieved the feat by winning the unlimited title in 1951. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not anywhere close to where I want to be,â&#x20AC;? said Kolodzik, who also joins also joins Parker and John Sefter â&#x20AC;&#x2122;78 as the only Princeton wrestlers to win multiple EIWA titles and All-American honors. A key factor behind Kolodzikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise in the wrestling world has been the influence of his older brother, Dan, an All-Ivy star for the Tigers who made the NCAAs and is now studying for an MBA at Columbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A big part of the reason that I have had so much success is because of my brother and everything that he has done,â&#x20AC;? said Kolodzik, who will be competing in the U.S. freestyle nationals this summer and hopes to qualify for 2018 Wrestling World Championships being held in Budapest, Hungary this October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talk to him all of the time. There is not a thing that I have been through that he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been through first and learned something from, and that is especially true when it comes to college wrestling, let alone the academic stuff.â&#x20AC;? Looking ahead to next season, Kolodzik plans to keep his focus on wrestling for wrestlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, noting that former U.S. champion and Ohio State All-American Reece Humphrey will be joining the Princeton staff and will help challenge him on a daily basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are always technical things to work on but those are small things compared to the mental challenges,â&#x20AC;? said Kolodzik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that we have Reece and a really good class coming in that will help in terms of putting myself in those scenarios so I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slip back into that mentality of hanging on instead of pushing forward and scoring points.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bill Alden

After Saying Goodbye to Stellar Senior Class, PHS Boys’ Lacrosse Featuring a New Look Saying goodbye to 14 seniors from a 2017 squad that advanced to the semif i na ls of t h e Nor t h Jersey Group 3 tour nament las t ye ar, t h e P r i nce ton High boys’ lacrosse team will have a new look this spring. “ We have holes t hat a lot of JV kids are going to fill,” said PHS head coach Ch ip C asto, who g u ided the Little Tigers to a 10-9 re cord las t ye ar a nd a n appearance in the Mercer County Tournament championship game. “We w ill
a t ig ht s h ip. T h e y w a nt to w in, they want to r un more in practice. They are pushing the kids as much as I am.” Casto is going to push his trio of defensive stars to w e a r m a ny h at s t h i s spring. “They are going to have to do ever y thing ; shut down the other team’s best players, help clear the ball, and they w ill prob ably face off,” said Casto, noting that junior Joe O’Donnell and sophomore Sam Brandt are vying for the goalie spot. “When they carry the ball down on offense, we will let them stay for a little bit. We are going to ask them to score goals.” The Little Tigers will b e lo ok i ng for goa ls on at tack from juniors A lex Park, D ylan Wester man, and Evan Filion. “Alex Park is head and shoulders our best attackman, he is going to run the show,” said Casto, noting that Ben Drezner and Ben Zief could emerge as key offensive contributors. “We have two middies that got a good amount of time last year in Dylan Westerman and Evan Filion.” With so many new faces s e ei ng t i m e t h is spr i ng, PHS will need those young players to grow up quickly to produce anot her w in ning campaign. “The key is getting the kids more consistent,” said Casto. “Our system is a little different than the J V team so they need to play a little faster, make quicker decisions. For a lot of them, it will be their first v a r s i t y e x p e r i e n c e . We have to calm them dow n to get them to do the basic stuff well.” — Bill Alden

D e s p ite t h e s e r i e s of nor’easters that pounded the area in March, the players on the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team haven’t let the inclement weather dampen their spirits. “We have had a couple of indoor practices but for the most part we have braved the weather and been outside,” said PHS head coach Sara Doran, who led the Little Tigers to a 14-8 record and the semifinals of the Central Jersey Group 4 Tournament last spring in her debut season at the helm of the program. “We are on schedule with our training; the girls are looking good and are really excited about the season.” Doran, whose team opens its 2018 campaign by playing at Robbinsville on March 29, is excited by the wealth of talent in the PHS midfield, led by senior Abaigeal Ryan. “Abaigeal is the captain along with Sophia Naverette, who is leading the defense,” said Doran. “They have done a fantastic job of bringing the team together. Abaigeal has really taken on a leadership role in a very positive way. I see her as being the quarterback on the offensive end. She will be a real asset to us.” The Little Tigers boast a number of assets in the midfield, including junior Mariana Lopez-Ona, junior Kathryn DeMilt, junior Serena Bolitho, sophomore Lauren Rougas, and sophomore Eva Petrone. “Mariana is looking stronger this year than ever; she is a real threat on both ends of the field,” said Doran. “Kathr yn is looking to possibly play in college. Serena Bolitho reminds me of Georgia McLean; she is that workhorse, doing everything all over the field, getting ground balls. Lauren is a multi-sport athlete, her main sport is soccer and she is very tall, very fast, and aggressive. She is a real threat. Eva is fast and very athletic and has real potential, too.” On attack, the one-two punch of senior Margaret Jacobs and sophomore

Shaylah Marciano will set the tone. “Margaret will be leading up that unit with Shaylah, who was our lead assister last year,” said Doran. “Shayah goes back and forth, she plays the offensive midfield/ attack position. She sees the field really well, she is just a great all-around athlete. She is a real asset for us.” The defensive unit will be paced by senior Navarette along with sophomore Lila Doran, junior Olivia Intartaglia, and the Mavoides twins, juniors Megan and Morgan. “We have got Sophia, who is leading that group and Lila is coming back; she led the team in caused turnovers last year,” said Doran. “The Mavoides twins are club players also; they are very athletic and have very good defensive instincts. We also have Olivia, who is a basketball player. I find that multi-spor t athletes have very good defensive instincts. Being a basketball player, she has all of those instincts naturally.” Scrappy junior Grace Reardon has taken up the goalie position and has proven to be a quick study.
“Grace is a phenomenal athlete; she is a hockey player and has great instincts and reflexes,” said Doran. “She has actually surprised us; she is doing a great job. She has never played goalie, so stepping in there takes a lot of courage. We have been working very hard with her in the offseason, and she has really stepped up.” With so much talent on the field, Doran’s main point of emphasis has been getting her players to work together in order to maximize their potential. “The key to success is using our depth and really keeping our heads up and looking for each other,” said Doran. “We are practicing that all of the time and the girls know that my mantra is that you are more of a threat when you are moving the ball quickly and using everybody. It makes it much harder for the opponent. They are working super hard. We are really trying to get into shape; we are doing a lot of conditioning. It is all of those things put together. We are feeling very hopeful.” —Bill Alden

J i l l T h o m a s b e l i e ve s firmly in the maxim that it is not where you start, it is where you finish. As Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse head coach Thomas looks at her 2018 squad, she is hoping that a stellar group of nine seniors will achieve a big finish, having their sights set on a fourth consecutive state Prep B title.
“It is impressive for any clas s to g raduate w it h that,” said Thomas who guided the Panthers to a 10-4 record in 2017 and was recently inducted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame. “We know it is there, we are not hiding from it.

play. They won it as freshmen and that is impressive in and of itself.” A quartet of those seniors, Kate Bennett, Kyra Hall, Bridget Kane, and Madison Mundenar w ill spearhead the PDS attack and serve as co-captains. “It is great; I don’t think you pick up where you left off, I think you just keep going,” said Thomas, noting that sophomores Julia Lach and Ellie Schofield along with juniors Gwen Allen and Maddy Birch also figure to be key offensive contributors. “They know each other well. Everyone is going to be coming after us so we have to do some things a little bit different and they are. I think it is good, they are such great leaders along with the other seniors.” The other five seniors, Emma Dries, Elena Schomburg, Summer Patterson, Elizabeth Brennan, and Kaylah Bland, are fortifying the defensive unit. “They have done a real good job,” said Thomas, whose backline will also include junior Val Radvany, sophomore Madison Izzard, and sophomore Maggie Amaral. “It is really coming together nicely.” Sophomore goalie Maggie Madani is coming along nicely after a superb debut campaign. “Maggie has a year under her belt,” said Thomas. “She had a great camp and she worked all year so we are real excited about that.” Thomas is also excited about the four freshmen, Caroline Topping, A lex Hollander, Ella McIntyre, and Jordan Young, who have joined the Panthers. “It is a great blend of old and new, the freshmen play with them in the winter league,” said Thomas. “I don’t keep a freshman unless they are going to see time on the field, otherwise they would play JV.” With PDS opening its 2018 season by hosting the Hill School (Pa.) on March 28, Thomas believes her squad possesses the mentality to make the most of its time on the field. “We have to learn some things early and know that everybody is going to be after us,” said Thomas. “We have to stay fo cused and just keep that little voice in the back of our minds saying ‘eyes on the prize.’ They know how to win. More importantly, they learn when they lose and that is going to keep us focused.” —Bill Alden

Emphasizing Positive Culture, Aggressive Play, Hun Girls’ Lax Aiming to Build on 2017 Success W hen the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team chants “USA, USA” this year, it will be expressing more than just patriotism. “We have an acrony m this year, USA, which has a meaning that is twofold,” said Hun head coach Liz Cook, who guided the Raiders to a 12-4 record and the state Prep A semis last year and is entering her fourth season at the helm of the program. “It means united, strong, and aggressive; that is what we want to be in that order. We also have a lot of patriotic kids.” Cook is depending on senior tri-captains, Hannah Bunce, Josie Cook, and Lauren Cunniff to help the team embody the “USA” mindset. “They have given us really good senior leadership; they seem to be instilling this culture of positivity which I have been trying to instill since the beginning,” said Cook, whose squad opens its 2018 season by playing at Monroe on March 29. “They are taking the reins and they are letting the team know that the sky is the limit and they all buy in.” The hard-charging Bunce will be leading a really good midfield which features junior Zoe Cook and junior transfer Lauren Johns along with sophomore Emily Albanese and freshman Renee Nearing. “Hannah, Zoe, and Lauren are leading the midfield; the three of them have worked well together, they played summer club together so it is a natural fit to put them all together,” said Cook. “I also have Emily, who plays for Garden State Elite as well. She did really nice things for us last year as a freshman. I also have Renee, who can run all day. She is going to be a nice midfielder.” The Raiders boast some nice options at attack in junior Kiera Black, sophomore transfer Rose Denommee, freshman Nicki Renna, senior Piper Schinsky, and sophomore Sophie Tarditi. “I have Kiera at attack; Rose is a key newcomer, she is coming from Dana Hall in Massachusetts and she is great,” said Cook. “Nicki is going to fill some big shoes. Piper is a retuning senior and she is awesome. Sophie is new to the varsity
roster and she is going to do really great things.” On defense, senior Josie Cook will be spearheading the back line, joined by junior Kendall Nehlig, sophomore Grace Davis and the Ross sisters, sophomore Chessie and senior Izzy. “Josie is the most vocal, aggressive defender. She is going to lead the way,” said Cook. “Ke n d a l l playe d b ack there as well last year, so they are our two returning defenders. Grace was a JV player last year and she is coming up. She is a thoughtful defensive player. Chessie and Izzy are both defenders. Chessie played great in Hilton Head (S.C.) on our spring trip; she went right to the defender spot beautifully. We have a good little unit back there.” Hu n has a ver y goo d goalie in senior standout
Cunniff. “Lauren is an incredibly bright player and student; she is such a leader,” said Cook, who also has freshman Hailey Wexler playing at goalie. “She is amazing between the pipes. She is so steady Eddie, nothing rattles her. I am really lucky and fortunate to have her back there.” With her players working hard and bonding well on the trip to Hilton Head, Cook believes they could do some amazing things this spring. “I am really happy that they are clicking, and that is what is I like about the trip that we do,” said Cook. “It is, let’s come together and be confident with themselves and not look at the scoreboard all of the time. It is, just realize that you have each other and you have this other family on the field. If they buy in and believe in all of that, I really think we can go places.” —Bill Alden

After Dominant Prep A Title Run Last Spring, Hun Softball Knows Encore Won’t Come Easy For the Hun School softball team, 2017 turned into a dream season as the Raiders went 14-2 and won the program’s first state Prep A title since 2004. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, longtime Hun head coach Kathy Quirk knows it will be a challenge to produce an encore. “As we told them, right
now we have a target on our back and everyone is after us,” said Quirk, whose team is slated to open the 2018 season by hosting Penn Charter (Pa.) on March 29. “To do it again won’t be easy.” Quirk liked the way her players got after it on their annual spring break jaunt to Florida earlier this month.

“The trip was good; we had some ups and downs and it was a learning experience,” said Quirk. “It is a good group of kids working hard. They are excited for the season to start.” Hun will feature a solid group of pitchers in last year’s ace, senior Alanna Pearson, along with senior Julia Revock, junior Izzy Martinez, and junior transfer Erin Harrigan. “Everybody rotated in and out on the Florida trip, no one is set in stone,” said Quirk. “They all have a different style, none of them are the same. We are not sure how everything is going to play out yet.” Quirk is pretty sure that Hun will be able to pile up plenty of runs this year. “We did fairly well in Florida with hitting, we were consistent,” said Quirk. “I think the girls were excited about the hitting. We saw some good pitching. It was a good experience for them to see what they can do.” T he Raiders feat ure a good mix of table-setters and power in the batting order. Sophomore Gigi Venizelos, Revock, and sophomore Abby Zucatti figure to be catalysts with junior Meghan Donohue, freshman Hanna Babuschak, and sophomore Jackie Drozd providing some punch. “Gigi is doing a nice job leading off; we have tried to make her into a player like Julie Fassl, who could get on base every time,” said Quirk. “ We h ad Re vo ck b atting second and we played around with three. Abby was there for a bit. Donohue is our cleanup hitter, she hit two nice home runs in Florida. Hanna had a nice bat in Florida as well. Jackie also had a real strong bat.” The squad also boasts a strong defense, returning its starting infield intact with Revock at first base, senior Keelan Ryan at second, Venizelos at shortstop, and Donohue playing third. Quirk is look ing at Babuschak and junior MC Shea at catcher with Drozd in left field, Zucatti in center, and a possible platoon in right. In order for the Raiders to match last season’s heroics, they will need to focus on the task at hand. “We need to play with confidence and play each game day by day,” said Quirk. “We can’t come out there overconfident; we need to play our game.” —Bill Alden

Degenerative Disc Disease The vertebral column (backbone) is made up of 33 vertebrae. These vertebrae are then grouped into divisions called the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back). A fibrous disc (intervertebral disc) connects each pair of the vertebrae. Healthy spines have discs that cushion the vertebrae allowing for normal flexibility and movement of the spine. Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is the weakening of one or more of these intervertebral discs.Unfortunately,the condition DR CHU-KUANG CHEN, MD, PHD develops as a natural part of the aging process. These discs between the bones of the spine are made up of cartilage, fibrous tissue, and water. With age, the discs weaken, flatten, bulge, or break down. Sometimes there may be a genetic component in some individuals who suffer from DDD, but the true cause can be a combination of things. Usually it’s simple “wear and tear” or the result of an injury. Degenerative Disc Disease in the lower back, or lumbar spine, occurs when a disc is compromised and causes pain. The disc itself does not have a blood supply, so if an injury occurs it is unable to repair itself the way other tissues in the body can. DDD is so common that an estimated 30% of individuals ages 30-50 years old have some degree of disc space degeneration. After a person reaches the age of 60, some level of disc degeneration is considered normal and nothing to be alarmed about. The severity of the condition will determine the best approach for treatment before considering surgery.

Harry Hancock Williams Harry Hancock Williams, Jr., 90, of Crosswicks died peacefully on March 22, 2018. Born in Allentown, N.J., the son of Harry Hancock Williams and Beatrice Montgomery Johnson, he was a lifelong resident of the area. He was President of williams-BUILDER, a nationally recognized, residential, design/build firm. He attended the Peddie School and entered Lehigh University in 1946. Shortly after graduation, he built the “House of Tomorrow” on a small lot carved out of an Allentown cornfield, aided by a gift from his grandmother, Mary Ellen Tams. Hundreds visited, none bought, and Harry and Jan, his beloved wife and soon-to-be business partner, moved in with their growing family. Two RCA engineers attending the opening liked the simple functional design and, thus, he built their homes and launched williams-BUILDER, which over 55+ years, built a sterling reputation and many great loyal customers. The company’s distinctive red sign with “creativity and craftsmanship” lettering marked his custom jobs in Princeton and surrounding areas. Williams’ projects won many design awards and were featured in magazines such as House and Garden and Builder and Architect. Among his jobs were historic renovations, projects

for “doctors, university professors, Wall Streeters,” and employees of firms such as Bristol Meyers Squibb, “as Princeton evolved from a college town to a small city.” He loved the projects for repeat customers, of which there were many, as, according to thank you cards, he was “the only remodeler I would trust with such a project.” Each project was unique, and each infused with his favorite quote, “By the work, one knows the workman.” (La Fontaine) Harry loved to dance with his wife, especially to Glenn M i l le r−s t yle orch e s t r as, which he did often at national and regional conferences of the National Association of Home Builders, where for many years, they were featured speakers (perhaps the most daring: “Running a Business: From the Bedroom to the Boardroom”). If there was a historic sign, he would, yet again, stop the car and read it, to the wails of his children in the back seat; if there was a dirt road, he would turn down it. Long wishing to visit England, home of his immigrant father, when he finally walked down a London street, six different people asked him for directions within the hour, perhaps due to his purposeful stride and sartorial choices. Always a seeker, Harry took his family on canoeing and camping adventures on the Delaware River and in the wilds of the Adirondack Mountains, where, at Blue Mountain L ake, he built “Base Camp,” which became the new family gathering place. Harry and Jan have been active and supportive members of the Religious Society of Friends, for whom he helped restore the Crossw icks First Day School, among other projects. He deeply loved and identified with Quaker faith and practice, including reflection, nonviolence, and commitment to his community. He was a former board chairman of Mercer Street Friends in Trenton, and served on the Chesterfield Township Zon-

FLEXIBILITY IS KEY WHEN HOUSE HUNTING Having a wish list when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a new home is a great way to help you focus on the features that are most important to you so your search can be more productive. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally important to be flexible, especially when it comes to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big threeâ&#x20AC;?: price, location and condition. Why? Because being uncompromising about these three major factors can make it a lot more difficult to find your ideal home. Rarely will a home be â&#x20AC;&#x153;idealâ&#x20AC;? in all three of these areas. When you start out eliminating every home that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the perfect spot at the perfect price in pristine condition, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already limiting your options - significantly. Starting out with an ideal is fine. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to discuss your ideals and â&#x20AC;&#x153;best-case scenariosâ&#x20AC;? with your real estate agent so they know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good to keep an open mind. After all, a good agent knows the market, and they can come up with some acceptable compromises that can still help you hit most of your wants. The key is to have an open mind - and to trust your agent to keep your best interests first and foremost.
