Increased Diversity, More Access, Inclusion Are Ongoing PU Goals

An institution steeped in tradition and still often viewed as a bastion of privilege, wealth, and exclusivity, Princeton University is working hard to transform itself to create an environment on campus that is more diverse and inclusive. Undergraduate admissions and financial aid policies have been one facet of the push towards greater socioeconomic diversity at Princeton, and 28 percent of first year students this year are first generation or low-income (FLI) students. About 60 percent of all students at Princeton receive financial aid. Earlier this month the University announced that it had offered admission to 13 transfer students as part of its renewed transfer program aimed at encouraging applicants from low-income, military, or community college backgrounds. The University received 1,429 applications for the transfer program, reinstated this year after a 27-year hiatus, as part of the board of trustees’ strategic planning framework, which identified key goals and priorities. “Experience at other universities shows that transfer programs can provide a vehicle to attract students with diverse backgrounds and experiences, such as qualified military veterans and students from low-income backgrounds, including some who might begin their careers at community colleges,” the strategic planning framework report states. Of the transfer students receiving offers of admission, eight have served or are currently serving on active duty in the military. Eight self-identified as people of color, and several of the admitted students have attended community colleges. “We are especially pleased with the quality of the admitted transfer students,” said Dean of Admission Janet Lavin Rapelye. “The committee was impressed with their intellectual curiosity, leadership, maturity, and diverse perspectives, which they will bring to our campus.” Princeton’s financial aid program comes in the form of grants, which do not need to be repaid. The average grant is $50,600 per year. No student is required to take out loans, and students can therefore graduate debt-free. Students who apply for aid with family incomes up to $160,000 typically pay no tuition. In a 60 Minutes program last month

Brangwynne Wins $8M for Biomedical Research Clifford Brangwynne, associate professor in chemical and biological engineering at Princeton University, has been awarded roughly $8 million from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) over the next seven years to explore uncharted territory in biomedical research, the HHMI announced this week. From a background in materials science as an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon University and applied physics at Harvard University, where he earned his PhD, Brangwynne has leapt into a new field of biology where he has explored a world of protein groups making transitions that could unlock the secret of turning genes on and off. “The central players in the drama of gene regulation are these floppy proteins,” Brangwynne said. “They form little dew drops that decorate the genome and control its function.” Noting the potential for manipulating these phase transitions to alter biological programs that control cell function during development, Brangwynne continued,

“There’s still some healthy skepticism, but we now have enough examples that most people agree that these phase transitions are important or even essential. They may even figure in pathologies where proteins clump up, like Alzheimer’s disease.” One of 19 new HHMI investigators, Brangwynne sees the “no strings attached” award as a huge boost to his research work. “What it really means to become an HHMI investigator is that some really impressive scientific luminaries at HHMI and their advisory board think that I am going to continue to do great research,” he said. So it’s a wonderful vote of confidence in me and my research, which emboldens me to push into totally new territory.” Brangwynne went on to explain, “Science is just like other creative fields, where we have these ‘gut feelings,’ or intuitive senses for what are the most interesting and fruitful areas to dig into. Being an HHMI investigator means that my scientific instincts are much less

“VINYL & VELVET, VINTAGE 1968”: In celebration of the Arts Council of Princeton’s 50th year, the theme of their signature spring benefit, Pinot to Picasso, was a throwback to the eclectic urban art and music scene of the late 1960s. Held Friday at the Technology Center of Princeton, the “art party” featured a salon-style exhibition, gourmet tastings from local restaurants, wines and craft beers from around the world, entertainers, and dancing. Participants share what the 1960s mean to them in this week’s Town Talk on page 6. (Photo by Erica M. Cardenas)

resource-limited. I can take more risks and follow my nose into promising new territory.” HHMI is the nation’s largest private supporter of academic biomedical research, spending more than $650 million in the U.S. in 2017. “We selected these scientists because they know how to ask hard and interesting questions with skill and intellectual courage,” said HHMI Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer David Clapham. “We believe they have the potential to make breakthroughs over time.” Twenty-eight current or former HHMI scientists have won the Nobel Prize, Continued on Page 7

Affordable Housing Plan Presented At Meeting Of Council, Planners

At a joint meeting May 17 of Princeton Council and the Planning Board, members of the public learned how the town proposes to meet its court-ordered affordable housing obligation of 753 units by 2025. The meeting was held following repeated requests from residents, in recent months, that the process be more transparent and inclusive. The plan names 10 sites where affordable units could be constructed. Locations named for future units include the Butler Tract, where 90 of 450 units would be affordable; and a mixed use site on Lower Alexander Road, where 60 of 300 units would be affordable. Both of those properties are owned by Princeton University. Also named were the Franklin parking lot and the Maple Apartments, where 60 of the 80 units to be built would be affordable; Princeton Shopping Center, where 30 of the 150 units would be affordable; 375 Terhune Street, where 5 of 25 units to be built would be affordable; two affordable units on Lytle Street; the S-2 rezoned area, where 30 of the 150 proposed units would be affordable; group homes, where three units would qualify; and accessory apartments, with 10 affordable units. The time period included in the obligation ranges from 1999 to 2025, and officials have said that 261 units have already been built or approved. These existing units are at Copperwood, Avalon Princeton, Merwick-Stanworth, Carnevale Plaza, and two group homes for disabled adults. The town hopes to foster development Continued on Page 12

Democrat for Princeton Council WILL SHE MAKE THE CUT? Jessica Tom, shown second from left with fellow contestants on “Food Network Star,” says succeeding on the show is as much about composure as culinary skills. Tom lives with her husband in West Windsor and is the author of the book “Food Whore: A Novel of Dining and Deceit.”

West Windsor Resident Competes On “Food Network Star” Jessica Tom isn’t allowed to disclose the results of the upcoming season of Food Network Star, in which she was a finalist. But the West Windsor resident, who has been watching food TV since she was a child, is happy to talk about her experience competing in front of celebrity chefs Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay.

The new season debuts Sunday, June 10, at 9 p.m. on Food Network. “It was really intimidating and also exhilarating,” said Tom. “I’ve been watching the show since the beginning, and it is a thrill to live it and be there and be the person competing. It was surreal and overwhelming, but I loved it.” Tom’s name might be familiar from her book Food Whore: A Novel of Dining And Deceit, published by William Morrow/ HarperCollins. Food Network

fans will recognize her from her 2016 appearances on Cooks vs. Cons. Growing up in Westchester County, New York, the 34-year-old Tom comes from “a food obsessed family,” she said. “My mom is from Madagascar and my dad is from China. His father was a chef for the United States Army, so he has a very eclectic cooking background. My mom has family in France and all over, so there were a lot of international influences when it came to food.” Tom watched a lot of cooking shows with her father, “a real DIY-er (do it yourself),” she said. “We tinkered in the kitchen with everything. Whether he’s smoking meat, making macarons, or whatever, he goes all in. I sort of became like that too.” At Yale University, she majored in English with a creative writing concentration. After graduating, she decided to combine the two things she loved most: fiction and food. “Everyone says when you write a book you have to be obsessed with the idea so you can’t get sick of it,” she said. “I knew if it was food, I’d be fine.” Originally, Food Whore had a tamer title. “But the editors really wanted a title that stuck out, that would make a splash and capture attention,” Tom said. The book was optioned by the film company Dreamworks, but the option expired. Currently Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is representing the film rights, so a film adaptation is possible. Meanwhile, Tom has been busy with television. Her first encounter with the contestants and judges on Food Network Star was on a beach in Orlando. With the other nine finalists, she was greeted by De

Laurentiis and Flay at Universal Orlando’s Resort’s Volcano Bay resort. Each competitor had to create a portable version of their signature dish, and then try to entice park visitors to try them. “It was crazy. The producers were running around, and we were kind of thrown into this thing where we had to cook for Bobby and Giada, in a kitchen we were not familiar with,” Tom said. “But it’s a lot of fun. This is my moment, the oncein-a-lifetime thing I’ve been dreaming about for so long.” While cooking skills are key, other abilities factor into who gets eliminated and who survives the competition. “It’s half about your cooking and half Continued on Next Page

about your on-camera skills and personality,” said Tom. “I knew coming into this that there would be professional chefs, which I’m not, and that I would be out-cooked. And I didn’t have the experience that others did. But the on-camera presentations are an important challenge, too. It’s not that easy, smiling and being engaging while you’re cooking, and your nerves are on edge. That was something that didn’t really hit me until the first challenge.” Tom and her husband moved to West Windsor after 10 years in Brooklyn. “We wanted more space and fresh air,” she said. “I really love it here. We’re closer to farms and nature, but we’re also really close to culture.” On her website jessicatom. com, Tom shares recipes from a host of categories. As for her idea of a perfect meal, she says, “I’m really not that picky. A lot of it has to do with the people who are there, and the environment — the vibe. So it could be anywhere. In someone’s back yard, in front of a fire with grilled fish, meat, fresh vegetables lightly dressed, lots of wine, fireflies, and sticky fingers, just relaxing with simple, well-prepared, fresh food. Those are the most memorable meals for me — the ones that revolve around food and togetherness.” —Anne Levin

Star ting Mother’s Day, HomeFront launched a monthlong Diaper Challenge aimed at raising 100,000 diapers and baby wipes. The effort will culminate in the opening of HomeFront’s Diaper Resource Center, a new program to support families experiencing diaper need in Mercer County. Simply put, diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby clean, dry, and healthy. The National Diaper Bank Network estimates that one in three American families report experiencing diaper need. Disposable diapers cost at least $70 to $80 per month per baby, but no state or federal child safety-net program allocates dollars for the purchase of diapers, and they cannot be obtained with food stamps. “We are calling on the generosity of our neighbors to help us create a diaper resource for struggling families in Mercer County,” says Sarah Steward, chief operating officer at HomeFront. “With everyone’s support, HomeFront’s Diaper Resource Center will support the physical, mental, and economic well-being of babies and moms here in our community.” HomeFront will be collecting diapers of all sizes, wipes, and monetary donations for the Diaper Challenge at its main office, 1880 Princeton Avenue, Lawrenceville from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. The agency is asking individuals, businesses, community groups, youth organizations, faith communities, and other groups to participate in the challenge and make a difference in the lives of local families. For more information about the HomeFront Diaper Challenge or the Diaper Resource Center, contact homefront@homefrontnj.org or call (609) 989-9417 x106.

Question of the Week: “What do the 1960s mean to you?” (Asked at the “Vinyl & Velvet: Pinot to Picasso, Vintage 1968” benefit) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)

“Lots of childhood memories. How glamorous my mother was in the 1960s, and attending parties in artist lofts in the West Village.” —Cookie Johnson, Princeton

“Love, peace, and happiness.”

—Tyrell Smith, Titusville

Ivan: “The space race.” Stacie: “Daisies, peace, and good music.” —Ivan Warovenko and Stacie Berrios, Princeton

“The Vietnam War. Also, the 1967 World Series — the impossible dream team and Yaz (Carl Yastrzemski). I remember being 10 years old and I love the Red Sox. That was a special team.” —Tom Walsh, Cranbury

“I was in boarding school in Massachusetts and my roommate was from Harlem. I walked into our room and he informed me MLK was shot. My classmates and I gathered around a black-and-white TV in the common room.” —Mark Germond, Princeton

making big leaps forward in HIV vaccine development, micro biome and circadian rhythm research, immunotherapy, and the genome editing tool known as CRISPR/ Cas9, among other fields. A faculty member at Princeton since 2011, after working as a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, Brangwynne discussed his excitement in his recent discoveries. “Going under the hood of nature and seeing it in a new way blows any other adventure out of the water,” he said. “Understanding how phase separation impacts the genome is just thrilling. Our genes are not only a record of where we’ve been — i.e. our genetic heritage, but

also where we are, our phenotypic characteristics like height and eye color, and where we are going — i.e. what diseases we are likely to get, at what age we will die, etc. It’s like a blueprint for the past, present, and future of physical selves. “A nd the concept that this fundamental concept of physics is important, our discovery that liquid-liquid phase separation occurs throughout the cell, and the likely possibility that the process is in a dynamic interplay with this flow of genetic information, and that by engineering phase behavior we can control this information flow, is just about as cool as it gets. But our hope in science is always that the reality is even more exciting than we at first imagined, and so we’ll see where this

line of inquiry leads us.” Brangwynne talked about learning “to embrace uncertainty, pushing into the unknown, and the idea of being comfortable with being uncomfortable,” as he emphasized his focus on “the stewardship of opportunity” and the moral responsibility to take advantage of opportunities that arise. He described his hopes for his ongoing research. “Neurodegenerative diseases are some of the most devastating. Instead of causing a problem with your liver, kidney, or intestine, diseases like Alzheimer’s are eating away at your mind, the core of who a person is. It turns out that many of these kinds of diseases are all about proteins clumping together, and how this occurs is closely coupled to the phase separation process which is occurring all the time in all of our healthy cells. I’m excited by the possibility that our work on liquid condensates in the nucleus will shed light on these disease processes.” Describing himself as a “curiosity-driven explorer,” Brangwynne concluded, “I view my research — and life in general — as an incredible adventure, and I’m eager to see where it leads.” —Donald Gilpin

mer camp and year-round “Joy, Hopes and Dreams” enrichment programming for local homeless and atrisk children. Last summer, HomeFront’s Camp Mercer provided day camp for 129 homeless and at-risk children in Mercer County. The 8-week long camp provides nutritious meals and recreational activities including arts and crafts, swimming, dance, spor ts, drama, and field trips. There is also a focus on reading and academics to ensure that vulnerable children return to school in the fall ready to be successful. “The camp not only benefits the children that attend,” said Katie Lynch, the event’s co-chair. “It also enables their parents to work during the summer months, because their kids have a safe, wonderful place to be.” When summer ends HomeFront’s “Joy, Hopes, a nd D re a m s” ch i ldre n’s pr o g r a m m i n g c ont i n u e s throughout the year offering tutoring, field trips, social programs, sports leagues, fitness programs, and teen leadership coaching.

Ongoing PU Goals continued from page one

about Princeton and other colleges focusing on access and success for FLI students, University President Christopher L. Eisgruber commented on the need for greater diversity and inclusion in contemporary society. “I think there’s a recognition that in this country right now some of the divisions that we need to heal are around economic class and we need to be paying attention to that,” he said. “We have to be a place where people can come together from lots of different backgrounds,” Eisgr uber continued. “This commitment we have to be a real leader on socioeconomic diversity is a big part of taking the next step for us and making the right kind of difference in the world.” The University’s efforts towards diversity, wider access, and success over the past few years have involved a number of offices across campus, including increased outreach to students from low-income backgrounds, improved abilities to recognize talented applicants from all backgrounds, and programs at the University that provide FLI students with mentorship, academic enrichment, leadership opportunities, and scholarly community. Among the programs designed to help FLI students adapt to the academic and social demands of Princeton and to seek out opportunities are the Freshman Scholars Institute (FSI), a sevenweek summer program; the Scholars Institute Fellows

Program, which builds on the FSI in subsequent semesters; and the Princeton Hidden Minority Council, which describes its mission as “to advocate for the first generation and low-income voices that aren’t being heard.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs Opens

With a r ibbon - cut ting, speeches, and tour of its extensive laboratory space, the formal opening of the new high-tech Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs incubator was celebrated Thursday, May 17. A crowd of more than 100 representatives from Princeton University, the town of Plainsboro, local industries and the center’s first tenant companies attended the event at the Forrestal Center in Plainsboro. Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs offers co-working lab and office space for high-tech startup companies formed by Princeton University faculty, students, and alumni as well as members of the wider New Jersey community. “This dynamic incubator space for high-potential startups and new ventures pursues a vision shared by members of our campus community and others in the surrounding municipalities,” said Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “Increasingly, our students, faculty, and researchers seek to make a difference in the world through innovative entrepreneurial ventures that address societal needs,” Eisgruber said. “And our best scholars are finding that collaborations with partners outside aca-

demia can assist both applied and basic research by helping them to identify interesting questions that matter to our society. “P r i n ce ton I n nov at ion Center BioLabs is one of several initiatives designed to strengthen the innovation ecosystem in central New Jersey and thereby expand the impact of Princeton’s teaching and research,” he said. “We hope that continued partnerships will foster an innovation community that has the potential to catalyze pathbreaking discoveries, contribute to the regional economy, and make central New Jersey an increasingly vibrant and attractive place for all who live and work here.” The facility is designed to encourage collaboration, w it h shared work areas and many types of meeting spaces where scientists and entrepreneurs can share techniques and spark new ideas. “The concept of these [BioLabs] facilities is built around openness, transparency, and shared resources,” said University Provost Deborah Prentice. This Princeton facility is the first of its kind, said Johannes Fruehauf, president and CEO of BioLabs. Other BioLabs facilities in the country are exclusively biomedical spaces, but Princeton faculty had different needs, he said, resulting in a “much more multidisciplinary space.” The 31,000-square-foot entrepreneurial hub includes fully-equipped work spaces for biology, chemistry, and e ng i n e er i ng compa n ie s, with 68 lab benches, private offices, and shared desks for more than 200 scientists

and entrepreneurs. When full, Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs will house 25 or more small companies, most with only a handful of employees. “We hope to nurture a lot of local, Princeton, and New Jersey startups into becoming ‘grown-up,’ successful companies that ultimately graduate from here,” Fruehauf said. “Our success is not to fill this space. Our success is to graduate … five, 10, 12 companies per year.” Located three miles from

the Princeton campus, the new center is designed to support a wide range of research and entrepreneurial activities. In addition to its labs, the facility includes a videoconference room, a café, and a freezer room for samples and cultures, as well as machines for running polymerase chain reactions and liquid chromatography. It also prov ides smaller items like centrifuges, microscopes, scales — and multiple coffee machines. Two businesses have already started working there, and two more will start June

1, said Nishta Rao, director of Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs. Five more companies have had their applications accepted.

School Matters 40th Annual Science Day at Riverside Elementary

Riverside Elementary School is celebrating its 40th annual Science Day with a whole week of science-related activities, bringing in top scientists from a variety of fields to share their knowledge with students and help inspire them in their scientific studies. “Fun with Physics” with Princeton University Physics Professor Christopher G. Tully kicked off the week on Monday with a presentation of feats of physics, a demonstration of the phenomenon of quantum levitation, and an examination of the world of electromagnetic forces. The students experienced an unusual glimpse of the unseen world of quantum mechanics and a look at how different the world can be when the laws of physics are unleashed. Members of Undergraduate Women in Physics assisted in the demonstrations and gave their perspectives on being future scientists. On Tuesday, the official Science Day, all the Riverside students participated in a round-robin event for the whole day, where parents and community members shared their science expertise, from bubbles to rockets to genetics to chemistry. On Wednesday, Michael Lemonick, science writer for Time Magazine and Scientific American and a former Riverside student, will talk with students from grades three, four, and five about a career in scientific writing. And on Thursday morning astronaut Greg Olsen will address a general assembly at Riverside.

After court approval of the plan, the governing body will introduce necessary ordinances and resolutions, to be reviewed by the Planning Board with the Council planning a public hearing and adoption of the ordinances August 27. —Anne Levin

Princeton Community Housing Announces New Officers

Princeton Community Housing elected new officers at its May 10 annual meeting. Van Davis will follow retiring president, Rich Gittleman, to lead both of the organization’s two boards,

the Princeton Community Housing board (PCH) and the Princeton Community Housing Development Corporation board (PCHDC). A PCH trustee for nine years, Davis represents Trinity Episcopal Church and has led the PCH Real Estate Committee. Alexander Pena, a PCH trustee for two years, will follow retiring treasurer, Tom Charles, to oversee both boards’ finances. Valerie Haynes (representing Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton) will serve as vice president of PCH, and Alice Small (representing the YWCA of Princeton) will serve as vice president of PCHDC. Jeannette Klink (representing Princeton Methodist Church) and Betty Wolfe (representing Christ Congregation) were re-elected for secretary of the PCH and PCHDC boards, respectively. PCH reorganized two years ago so that the PCH board, comprised of representatives from many of the institutions in the Princeton community and at-large members, could focus on the management and maintenance of the four PCH residential communi-

ties: Princeton Community Village, Griggs Farm, Elm Court, and Harriet Bryan House. The PCHDC board carries out strategic planning and fundraising for the organization. Both boards anticipate involvement in projects to help the municipality meet its 1999-2015 affordable housing obligations. PCH was founded in 1967 to provide welcoming and safe affordable housing within the Princeton community. The first residence, Princeton Community Village, has provided rental homes on Bunn Drive to 236 households since 1975. Elm Court, a senior residence for 88 households with several apartments with accessibility features for those with physical disabilities, opened in 1986. Also in 1986, PCH initiated the development of Griggs Farm and currently retains ownership of 70 in the mixed income community. Most recently PCH opened Harriet Bryan House next to Elm Court in 2007, providing housing for an additional 67 senior households on Elm Road.

Women’s College Club Awards Scholarships

The Women’s College Club of Princeton (WCCP) has awarded $32,000 in scholarships to recipients from four Princeton high schools. The Florence Bell Hillier Award was presented by J. Robert Hillier to Leah Williamson of Princeton High School (PHS), who will attend Savannah College of Art and Design. The Ramona S. Peyton Award was presented by Murray Peyton to Jenna Venturi of Stuart Country Day School, who will attend the Eastman School of Music. The Marjory White Memorial Scholarship was granted to Eliz Dikener of PHS, who will attend Boston University. The Luna Kayser Scholarship was given to Fedlyne Cleophat of PHS, who will attend Rider University. The Harriet Peterson Award was given to Nayha Zahid of PHS, who will attend Gettysburg College. The Molly Updike Award was given to Alexa Almodovar of PHS, who will attend the University of Pittsburgh. The WCCP scholarships were given to Thara Ahmed-Sule of the Hun School, who will attend Temple University, and to Princeton Day School students Kayla Bland, who will attend American University, and Rebecca Kuzmicz, who will attend Marist. Recipients of the WCCC scholarships from PHS are Savannah Green, who will attend Rowan University, and Mary Mena, who will attend the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.

Mayor’s Task Force Presents “Straight Talk”

Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert’s Task Force on Teen Stress and Mental Health will hold a program entitled “Straight Talk: A Student’s Narrative on Adversity and Resilience” next Tuesday, May 29 from 7-9 p.m. in the Main Meeting Room at Witherspoon Hall, 400 Witherspoon Street. Featuring a young adult speaker who will describe his fall from high-achieving scholar athlete to depression and anxiety and back, the program will be presented by Philadelphia-based Minding Your Mind, an educational resource for teens and their families that seeks to acknowledge mental health issues and educate teens, families, and school professionals. A mental health professional from Minding Your Mind will offer information and guidance for students and families, and community organizations will also be present to offer resources. The program is one response Mayor Lempert’s task force has developed as it seeks to address the stress and anxiety faced by many Princeton teens. The mayor and Princeton Youth and Community Services Director Gary DeBlasio created the task force last fall following a number of suicides and attempted suicides by Princetonarea teens in competitive academic environments.

PDS Elementary School Chess Players Win National Recognition

Twelve Princeton Day School (PDS) chess players competed in different sections of the National Elementary (K-6) Championship in Nashville, Tennessee, May 10-14, under the supervision of Woman International Master Coach Tatiana Duarte Brea and a group of dedicated parents. The K-1 Under 500 rated team of Ethan Fede, Sloane Schwendinger, Arav Munjal, Akshay Pillai, and Aditya Pillai finished fourth, and Fede individually tied for third place with six out of seven wins, according to PDS coach Bonnie Waitzkin. The K-3 Under 700 rated team of Elijah Morris, Shreya Munjal, and Elias Nicozisis was 25th out of 54 teams. In the K-3 blitz tournament, the PDS team of Gio Juarez, Elijah Morris, Elias Nicozisis, and Anya Jha placed seventh. In April, PDS seventh grader Winston Ni was named National Junior High Champion (K-8) in Atlanta, Georgia, winning all his games in the K-8 championship section.

Holocaust Survivor Speaks to Pennington Eighth Graders

Holocaust survivor Maud Dahme spoke to eighth-graders at The Pennington School on May 11, as part of an interdisciplinary unit on the Holocaust. Born in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, Dahme and her younger sister, ages 6 and 4 at the time, were Dutch Jewish “hidden children” who survived because they were sheltered by Christian families. Dahme’s family moved to the United States in 1950, where Dahme became a force in education, holding a variety of local and state posts. Silent for many years about her experiences, she finally decided to speak out when she realized that even someone she knew personally denied the existence of the Holocaust. For more than 30 years Dahme has been a passionate advocate of holocaust education. She has been featured in a PBS documentary and at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. “We survived because people cared,” Dahme told the students. “We are here to care for each other.” Pointing out that genocide is still occurring in various parts of the world, she urged the students to remember that “on the inside we are all the same.” —Donald Gilpin

Experimental Beta Bike Lanes Represent a Volunteer Effort

Following a community effort that was just slightly hampered by bad weather, Princeton’s Beta Bike Lanes have been installed along Wiggins Street and Hamilton Avenue between the Princeton Public Library and Walnut Lane. The experiment will remain in place at least through May 29, and possibly a day later to make up for a day lost to rain. Mayor Liz Lempert was among those working to install the lanes on Sunday, May 20. Response to the 10-day experiment has been “almost 100 percent positive,” she said. But at least one resident was unhappy with the effort. “While I support encouraging bicycle use in town, it is very concerning that this action has been taken with no provision made for the employees who relied on the parking spots it removed,” wrote Stephen Walter, who works at Labyrinth Books, in a letter to the editor of Town Topics. “Many downtown businesses have no parking access, and most of the workers who play a crucial role in the local economy

live too far from Princeton to bike into their jobs and cannot afford the prohibitive rates at the municipal garage. The town should have taken a two-pronged approach by offering fulltime employees a significant discount or a designated lot. Environmental sustainability need not come at the cost of attentiveness to labor issues and supporting local business.” Lempert said the goal of the experiment is to make sidewalks safer. “It is a very heavily used sidewalk, and pedestrian safety is one of our goals, in addition to bicycle safety,” she said. “We’ve heard from a lot of cyclists that they don’t feel safe riding in that stretch of road, so we wanted to see how these lanes would work.” Vol u nte e r s we r e b u s y Sunday taping the lanes, painting the stenciled symbols, and putting up special signs. “While we were working several families and cyclists came through, and they were very happy to see what we were doing,” Lempert said. “It was

a great project and we had a huge volunteer turnout. “Even though it wasn’t still raining on Sunday, the roads were wet when we got there. People were trying everything they could think of to dry the road — even running home and getting towels — so the tape for the striping would stop peeling off. But luckily, in the end, it dried really quickly once the sun came out.” Other recent additions to Princeton’s bike culture include a bicycle parking corral on Witherspoon Street opposite Princeton Public Library, and covered parking for bicycles inside the Spring Street Garage. The garage parking will be in place throughout the year, while the bike corral is a seasonal installation that ends in October. The tow n is collecting feedback from a survey that can be found on the municipal website princetonnj.gov, under “featured announcements.” —Anne Levin

• Recycling • MONDAY For Princeton

Lawyers Tell Everything You Want to Know About Sexual Harassment in PCDO Forum With the #MeToo movement dominating the national conversation, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sexual Harassment But Were Afraid to Ask” was a timely topic for last Sunday evening’s meeting of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Featured speakers were New York lawyers Allegra Fishel, founder and executive director of the Gender Equality Center, and Susan Crumiller, founder and principal attorney of Crumiller P.C., a Manhattan law firm dedicated to fighting gender and pregnancy discrimination, both well versed on the pervasiveness and seriousness of sexual harassment in the workplace and what to do about it. They led a lively, informative discussion of political and legislative trends, including applicable laws, both federal and state, and tips on how to deal with harassment from the perspectives of both employer and employee.

Arguing that most employers need to develop a much more effective system of handling complaints, Crumiller cited Harvey Weinstein, who wielded power and wealth and was able to operate with impunity because his company did not take complaints seriously and colleagues were willing to go to great lengths to cover up his behavior, as the most conspicuous example of current abuses in the workplace. Crumiller noted, “There is a mentality that women are not as important. That’s what has to change.” A Princeton High School (PHS) graduate and the first female wrestler in the history of PHS, Crumiller laid out her list of “best practices for employers” to be effective in eradicating sexual harassment. An employer must care about the issue; must value the work of employees, particularly women employees; must make it his/ her duty to stop harassment; must have a written policy; must have a clear reporting path; must guarantee confidentiality while investigating complaints; must make sure there has been no retaliation; must provide frequent training for all employees; and must encourage witnesses to report. “My personal takeaway,” said PCDO Program Committee Chair Scotia W. MacRae, “is that the #MeToo movement is a response to the tendency of employers to discount complaints of sexual harassment.” Crumiller emphasized the importance of “having a robust written policy that demonstrates the employer’s commitment to confidentiality, protects against retaliation, and encourages reporting.” She noted the difficulty for victims in most work environments to speak up. “It’s shocking how many women don’t report harassment for fear of retaliation. It’s easy to say go report, go report, but it’s always hard to do. There’s never a simple answer. You have your career to look after.” After graduating from Tulane University in 2002 and New York University School of Law in 2006, Crumiller spent ten years represent-

ing New York tenants in landlord-tenant litigation before she had her second child and decided to create her own law firm dedicated to fighting for rights of new working parents. She helps women negotiate maternity leave and files lawsuits on behalf of women who have suffered pregnancy discrimination, including wrongful termination or other sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace. A civil rights lawyer for more than 25 years, focusing on advocating for the rights of women and the LGBTQ community, Fishel made the point that lowwage workers are especially vulnerable to harassment and have very little financial or personal support for their complaints. “They feel they have no recourse if they are harassed by their supervisor,” she said. Most victims, she noted, face a stark choice, leave the company, or go to the law, which in most cases also results in leaving the company. Fishel, who claims to have counseled more than 1,000 victims of sexual harassment in her career to date, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the Boston University School of Law. During the course of the evening, the featured speakers and the audience explored several questions relating to sexual harassment, such as “Is it harassment to say to someone, ‘You look nice today?’” “Is it harassment to ask your secretary to go to lunch on Secretary’s Day?” “Look at the context” was the lawyers’ answer. “The crux of harassment is that it is unwanted,” Fishel said. “It really is about context. The law does not prohibit a romantic relationship, unless it is unwelcome.” To make a case for sexual harassment, Crumiller noted, the accuser has to show that the harasser has made it clear that there is a quid pro quo, such as do this and I will promote you, or if you don’t I will not promote you or fire you; or has created a hostile work environment with severe and pervasive actions and words. —Donald Gilpin

Disasters Are Waiting to Happen With Installation of Bicycle Lanes in Princeton

This narrow two-lane street is the only other east/west thoroughfare in Princeton besides Nassau Street for business and resident traffic accessing the downtown area. Pedestrian use is high. As a New Yorker familiar with the pedestrian/cyclist right-of-way conundrum, I know cyclists run red lights, cycle in the wrong direction, travel at high speeds, and do not stop for pedestrians. Cyclists are hit by cars, hit cars, and pedestrians are hit by cyclists. Cyclists are not accountable or liable for their recklessness. Disasters are just waiting to happen with installation of bicycle lanes in Princeton. And policing at the taxpayers’ expense is another issue. I believe taxpayer dollars would be more appropriately used to fix our potholes/roads/ sidewalks and replace downed trees before spending time and money on “experimental” ideas. Finally, why would students need these bicycle lanes to get to school in a very small section of Princeton? How many cyclists were seen on the salted roads last winter and early spring? And what lanes would be available to students and others in the other 18 plus-square miles of Princeton? NANCY WOELK, MAYBURY HILL Snowden Lane

Princeton-Blairstown Center’s Golf Outing Helps Send Students to Summer Bridge Program

To the Editor: On Friday, May 4th, the Princeton-Blairstown Center held its third annual Links to Youth Golf Outing at Fox Hollow Golf Club in Branchburg, N.J. The event raised more than $38,000, enough to send nearly 100 students from Trenton to the Center’s Summer Bridge Program, which addresses the “summer learning gap” for at-risk youth. The program is a week-long academic enrichment and leadership development program that is provided free of charge to young people from low-income communities at our 264-acre Blairstown Campus near the Delaware Water Gap. Seventy-five golfers and dinner guests participated in the event which included lunch followed by 18 holes of golf, a cocktail hour, a silent auction, and dinner. The winning team included William Birch, John Cook, and Jotham Johnson. The second place team included Michael Chen, Carey Flaherty, Don Seitz, and Michael Seitz, and third place team included Lisa Balder, Evan Calvert, Tong Song, and Alan Wisk, all of whom work for NRG in Princeton. Thanks to our sponsors: Cocktail Sponsor: Harris Rand Lusk; Lunch Sponsor: Brown & Brown/Sobel Affiliates; Beverage Cart Sponsors: Chris Van Buren and Michael Nissan & Yvette Lanneaux; Golf Ball Sponsor: Mark Antin; and our Tee Sign Sponsors: Gennett, Kallman, Antin, Sweetman & Nichols, Inside Edge Consulting Group, Inc., Kaduson, Strauss & Co., CPAs, Anne Nosnitsky – Gloria Nilson Realtors, Bruce Petersen, Pinneo Construction, Princeton-Blairstown Center Senior Leadership Team; Suman Rao & Kaushik Arunagiri, Small World Coffee Roasters, and Yorktel. Additional sponsors included: McCaffrey’s Food Markets, Northfield Bank, and Unlimited Silkscreens, Inc. Without leaders and volunteers there would be no event. I extend a sincere thank you to our 2018 Links to Youth Golf Outing Co-Chairs: Don Seitz and Derek Simpkins, and our entire Golf Committee: Tyler Anthony, Mark Antin, Don Heilman, Travis Heilman, Margaret Johnson, Al Kaemmerlen, Bruce Petersen, Tim Stauning, Sarah Tantillo, Chris Van Buren, Meredith Murray, and Brynn Mosello for all their hard work and leadership surrounding the very successful event. Because of each of you and our sponsors, deserving young people will have a transformative experience this summer. PAM GREGORY President and CEO Princeton-Blairstown Center

The Argument for Extending the Cranbury Send-Receive Agreement Remains Weak

To the Editor: While the Board of Education finally started a serious discussion about the Cranbury send-receive agreement at the April 24 board meeting, the argument for extending this relationship remains weak at best. The Board estimated that terminating the Cranbury agreement will result in a net revenue loss of $2.8 million and claimed that such amount would be difficult to manage due to the two percent cap on annual budget increase imposed by the state. It is important to highlight that once the Cranbury agreement is terminated, the district will continue to receive revenue from Cranbury students who are already enrolled in the high school. That means the net revenue loss won’t reach $2.8 million until Year 4. Even if we ignore the fact that school district budget has routinely exceeded the two percent cap in the past, a two percent annual increase would put the district budget more than 8 percent or $7.4 million higher in Year 4. In fact, using the district’s enrollment projection and excluding Cranbury students, the district will have fewer students than it has now and an operating budget that is at least 10 percent higher by 2023. The legal path to terminate the Cranbury send-receive relationship is straightforward and the associated legal costs are more than reasonable considering the huge investment bill the school district is asking the town resident to foot. A genuine effort is need to explore this option. If that effort proves unsuccessful and the Cranbury sendreceive agreement is here to stay permanently, then Cranbury effectively has a partial ownership in our high school facilities and needs to pay its fair share of all capital investments, starting with the $62 million high school renovation. At an average 15 percent of high school enrollment, Cranbury’s share amounts to $9.3 million upfront or $20 million over a 30-year period. We need our school board to negotiate a fair deal for our town. JIAN CHEN Ettl Farm

To the Editor: It’s a crowded field this year given the latest crop of would-be candidates who are flexing their citizenship muscles as they try to position themselves as “the best one” for the job of “running things.” Anyone can run things (and sometimes into the ground) … look around and shake his head at all the “things” that are “run” by the people we entrust to run things. Is it any wonder why we are always disappointed in the people we have elected because their campaign promises are only empty words and they just can’t and don’t deliver. There are two kinds of political people (and maybe it’s true of all people). Those who over-promise and under-deliver (too many of those to count) and those who under-promise and overdeliver (usually hard to find). Generally I prefer the latter, don’t you? Of course you do, and so I’m going to support the one candidate who has the courage, honesty, and integrity to be among the under-promisers and over deliverers, Adam Bierman. You might want him in City Hall too because he is actually a leader and not just a repainted follower. G. MOORE Alexander Street, Princeton

Reporting From Roaring Twenties Dance For Adults and Teens With Special Needs

To the Editor: When Jim Floyd passed away on May 14, Princeton lost a unique link to our communal past and a valuable voice for our future. On behalf of Princeton Community Housing (PCH), I am writing to express our condolences to Jim’s family and friends and to let others know how much Jim meant to our organization and to Princeton. Jim’s formative years were the late 1940s and 1950s, a time of unprecedented opportunity for many in the United States, but also a time of overt and covert segregation for African American citizens. Jim never forgot the indignities and unfairness of these times, and throughout his long years of dedicated public service, he never wavered in his determination to assure an open and welcoming environment for all Princeton citizens. Jim eagerly joined the small group of church members and other organizations who formed Princeton Community Housing in 1967 and who went on to open Princeton Community Village in 1975. From the beginning, a resident’s eligibility was based only on income criteria, and the result was a diverse community of all ages and races. Jim and his wife, Fannie, were instrumental in helping PCH obtain land along Route 206 at the border of Montgomery Township and the former Princeton Township in order to initiate the development of an inclusive community of 280 town houses, condominiums, and rentals, split evenly between market-rate and affordable units. Princeton Township became a partner in this endeavor, which today is called Griggs Farm and includes 70 rental homes owned and managed by PCH. Long past the age when most of us retreat to full-time leisure, Jim continued as an active PCH trustee. He was the driving force behind our public meetings and outreach, encouraging us to maintain public awareness and support for providing affordable homes in our increasingly expensive town. He championed those who struggled to make ends meet, and advocated for PCH to offer credit counseling sessions to help affordable housing applicants achieve eligibility. Jim will be greatly missed at PCH and in the community he cared for so greatly, but his legacy of service, thoughtfulness, leadership, and accomplishment will remain forever.

Council Candidate Bierman Is a Leader PCH Celebrates Jim Floyd’s Legacy of Service, Candidate Withdrawing From Council Race Who “Under-Promises and Over Delivers” Thoughtfulness, Leadership, and Accomplishment Gives His Support to Williamson, Niedergang

To the Editor: As a candidate, I have two characteristics that distinguish me from the others in this election: lifetime residence in Princeton and a lifetime of public service. In other words, I have the best perspective on how Princeton has changed and demonstrated service to the community. These characteristics are the framework for how best to make decisions to meet the challenges of the future. I’ve had the pleasure to debate and to pursue a position on the Princeton Council. However; I believe now is not the best time for me to continue my pursuit of this positon. I am a first-time candidate and have discovered that my organization and finances are not what they should be for success. Accordingly, I am withdrawing from the race. This doesn’t mean that I am also suspending my extensive commitment to public service, for example, the town will need to provide affordable housing for a maximum of 751 units and I intend to be involved in helping the town meet this goal. I’ve also had the pleasure to meet and compete against five capable candidates. To be sure, Princeton is facing some significant issues, such as affordable housing and how to control growth while maintaining diversity in all its forms. While all the candidates are capable of meeting the town’s future issues, I believe that Dwaine Williamson and Eve Niedergang best qualify to meet the town’s needs. ALVIN J. MCGOWEN Leigh Avenue

BOOK REVIEW

Click! Clack! Varoom! Varoom! — Of the Wolfes, Thomas (1900-1938) and Tom (1930-2018)

tretching across two pages of the November 1963 issue of Esquire Magazine is a title flamboyantly geared to catch the reader’s eye: “There goes (VAROOM! VAROOM!) that KandyKolored (THPHHHHHH!) Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (RAHGHHHH!) around the bend (BRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM …)” Left in the dust in the far right corner in relatively tiny letters is the author’s name, Thomas K. Wolfe, soon to become Tom Wolfe. When he died last week at 88, the words most often used by obituary writers scrambling to describe Wolfe’s popflavored prose style were “pyrotechnical” or “pyrotechnics.” Variations included “technicolor, wildly punctuated” in the New York Times, where Dwight Garner’s tribute highlighted the “bursts of asterisks, the scattering of exclamation points and ellipses, the syncopated distribution of repeated phrases and capitalized words.” The Washington Post weighed in by rightly drawing attention to “all that onomatopoeia.” The First Thomas Wolfe Another writer with an exclamatory style and a talent for repeated phrases and onomatopoeia died 80 years ago in a Baltimore hospital two weeks shy of his 38th birthday. “My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever,” says Tom Wolfe in a 1991 Paris Review interview, “but as soon as I was old enough I became a tremendous fan of Thomas Wolfe and remain so to this day.” He remembers seeing copies of Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River on “the shelves at home” when he was growing up. After reading Tom Wolfe’s “Las Vegas (What?) LAS VEGAS (Can’t hear you! Too noisy) LAS VEGAS!!!!” with its opening paragraph in which the word hernia is repeated more than 50 times variously spelled HERNIA, hernia, HERNia, I opened Of Time and the River at random, imagining young Tom’s response to the typographic fireworks display on page 69: “Click, clack, clackety-clack; click, clack, clackety-clack …! “Hip, hop, hackety-hack; stip, step, rakety-rack; come and fetch it, come and fetch it, hickety hickety hack! “Rock, reel, smash, and swerve; hit it, hit it, on the curve; steady, steady, does the trick, keep her steady as a stick; eat the earth, eat the earth, slam and slug and beat the earth, and let her whirr-r, and let her pur-r, at eighty per-r! “---Whew-w! “---Wow! … “---Put ‘er there, boy! “---Put ‘er there — whah! — whah-h! …. “---Whoop-ee! Whah — whah-h!” Picture an impressionable young writer with the same name as the famous

novelist being hit smack between the eyes by this exuberant outburst of syncopated onomatopoeia. For that matter, picture the first Thomas Wolfe’s austere, congenitally contained editor Maxwell Perkins arriving at the same passage on the wings of uncontainable prose about “three atoms on the huge breast of the indifferent earth, three youths out of a little town walled far away within the great rim of the silent mountains … three nameless grains of life among the manswarm ciphers of the earth … — and each of them a flame, a light, a glory, sure that his destiny is written in the blazing stars ….” His Towering Namesake The word-drunk giant from North Carolina was the stuff of legend, amassing manuscripts of mythical dimensions and unloading them on Max Perkins, his tireless editorial chaperone laboring in the

daring to dismiss his big best-seller A Man In Full as nothing but “entertainment,” mere “journalistic hyperbole.” You can almost see the elephant in the room of that essay as Tom W. bemoans the fact that the American novel is “dying of anorexia. It needs … food. It needs novelists with huge appetites and mighty, unslaked thirsts for … America,” novelists with “energy and verve” and “a ravenous curiosity.” He may be alluding to himself but he’s inadvertently describing his namesake, the hungriest, most hugely, ravenously curious scribbler of them all. It’s also fitting that the title of Dwight Garner’s recent memorial appreciation of Tom Wolfe — “A Vivid Writer, Florid to Critics, Full of Wonder About America” — could just as well be referring to Thomas Wolfe. Going Overwhelmingly Overboard By the 1960s, the book world’s common wisdom had consigned Thomas

shadow cast by a mountain range of unbounded unedited Wolfe, a New Yorker cartoon waiting to happen. Outsized in stature, in appetite, in his lust for quantity, Thomas Wolfe was the archtype of the promethean artist. What a cruel fate for an aspiring writer, to be burdened with the exact same name as the author of big sprawling novels who even two decades after his death still loomed like a lost Gulliver over the landscape of American literature. At the outset of his career Thomas K. Wolfe had no choice but to rein in his novelistic ambitions and make a new name for himself writing non-fiction. And so he became Tom Wolfe. Is it any wonder that he rarely refers in print to his towering namesake? The author of Look Homeward, Angel is only mentioned in passing along with 18 other American authors in “My Three Stooges,” where Tom Wolfe stridently skewers novelists Norman Mailer, John Updike, and John Irving for

Wolfe to the lower depths of irrelevance. All but forgotten was his ear for dialogue and talent for mimicry, his expertise in orchestrating large-scale set pieces, his willingness to play fast and loose with the English language, and his irrepressible syntactical extremism. Which is why few reviewers or readers were aware of the way spare parts from the work of Thomas Wolfe were being wired and soldered into the vehicle of Tom Wolfe’s style, as if it were nothing less than the prose equivalent of the customized car in “The KandyKolored Tangerine-Flake Baby.” The big man was on a mission, his compulsion to go overwhelmingly overboard tied to a quest to consume every atom of life as he saw it. When Tom Wolfe finally begins writing his first novel The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987), he’s still operating like a journalist fulfilling an assignment, doing interviews and gathering data. Thomas Wolfe always, always thinks as

a novelist. After spending time with Sinclair Lewis, he brings the author of Main Street vividly to life as Lloyd McHarg in You Can’t Go Home Again. He manages a more subtle version of the same thing in the same novel when he turns Max Perkins into Foxhall Edwards. Speaking of editors, it was while reading “Tiny Mummies,” Tom Wolfe’s scathing profile of The New Yorker’s reclusive William Shawn, that I first sensed his debt to Max Perkins’s Wolfe. This sudden intuition was most likely prompted by the use of dashes in a reconstructed anecdote wherein Shawn goes to the home of a writer whose article is overdue. After pushing past the writer’s wife (“nodding, smiling, rolling his eyeballs up and down his forehead, edging in — ‘uh--I’m afraidI’m-going-to-have-to-take-a-manuscriptfrom-your-husband’”), the editor actually barges into the writer’s study, grabs the article, and makes his exit (“he edges back toward the door, nods his head down, down, down, smiles, rolls his eyes up from under his forehead, edges back,” the “clackety buckles” on his boots clackling). The way Tom Wolfe shapes the sequence, each dash is like a string jerking the puppet formed in Shawn’s image, the nodding head, the robotic civility, all of it in the controlling hands of a journalist with an aggressive agenda. When Thomas Wolfe describes the fictional Max Perkins conversing with one of his daughters, the effect is expansive, novelistic, analytical, and essentially sympathetic; the dashes and hyphens are there along with the italicized emphasis not to mock but to depict the “tribal accent” used by the editor’s children (“but, daddy — wha-at? …. Yee-s. It’s tr-u-e”), whose tone is “characterized by a kind of drawl … a wearied-out, exasperated drawl, as if they have almost given up hope of making” their father “— or someone — understand what ought to be obvious without any explanation whatsoever.” The Thing About Image When you discover Thomas Wolfe in your late teens, if not sooner, you don’t have to be 6’6” to identify with him. The image of an awkward young genius possessed by the urge to express himself in words is instantly appealing. The dandified image Tom Wolfe cultivated always seemed to be be smugly smiling at me from the threshold of his journalistic universe. Reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968) is a challenge if you’re making the journey with the man in the white suit. y the way, the title roaring sensationally across two pages of Esquire is nowhere to be seen in the classic 1965 collection bearing the article’s name, which is simply titled, “The KandyKolored Tangerine-Flake Baby.” No Varoom! Varoom! No Thphhhhh!, no Rahghhhh! no Brummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton Singers Celebrates 35th Anniversary Commemorating Past and Looking Forward

ike a successful garden, it takes a long time to develop and nourish a performing ensemble. Princeton Singers began 35 years ago as a volunteer chorus singing English cathedral music, madrigals, and folksongs, and has grown like a weed under the direction of only two conductors: Founding Director John Bertalot and current Artistic Director Steven Sametz. The ensemble is celebrating its 35th anniversary this season, paying credit to its past and present, while looking ahead to the future. The Singers is especially proud of its emergence as a leading professional vocal ensemble performing a wide range of repertoire with a commitment to contemporary music, and its closing concert of this season demonstrated why the chorus is justifiably proud of its musical heritage. The program for Princeton Singers’ Saturday night concert at Princeton’s Trinity Church demonstrated both the ensemble’s history and musical versatility. Conductor Sametz began the performance with a set of pieces paying tribute to the chorus’ British roots and Bertalot. Singing in mixed formation from the altar area, the 17-voice Princeton Singers easily blended into the acoustics of the church, dramatically increasing volume when necessary and always precise. The choral sound of Eric Thiman’s “Go Lovely Rose” was as warm as the text, with continuous streams of sound at the height of the piece. C.V. Stanford’s sacred choral music was composed for the high arches of English cathedrals, and within Trinity Church the sound of the Singers was chipper and lean, especially from the sopranos in their higher register. Sametz and the ensemble also explored other British and American composers of the 20th century in this concert; Elliott Carter’s “Musicians Wrestle Everywhere” was sung with clean lines to accommodate the piece’s dissonances, showing that the Singers could provide an edgy vocal sound when needed. American composer Morten Lauridsen is renowned for music with warm chords and deep, rich harmonies, and the Singers brought out these

775 Mt. Lucas Road, Princeton

effects well in the composer’s “Soneto de la Noche.” Abrupt key changes were smoothly handled, and small solos from within the chorus provided an effective contrast to the choral palette. The Singers turned their attention to multicultural and lighter music in the concert’s second half, beginning with a tease for next year. The 2018-19 season will feature music of women composers, and the ensemble could not have selected a better and more underperformed representative in Sunday’s concert than 19th-century Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, whose brother Felix well overshadowed her own respectable compositional output. Mendelssohn-Hensel’s “Schöne Fremde” was performed with a graceful flow to the music, and the chorus told the piece’s idyllic story well. Camille SaintSaëns’ “Saltarelle” was unusual in its brisk and playful style, from a composer whose choral music is not well known, and the Singers captured the piece’s highspirited nature and crisp counterpoint. everal soloists from within the chorus shone during this concert, including soprano Kara Mulder and tenor Tyler Tejada. A new addition to the ensemble this year, Mulder adds vocal ring to the soprano sectional sound, and her opening solo in Ronald Staheli’s arrangement of “How Can I Keep from Singing” added a fresh Americana flavor to the piece. Tejada sang with a light clear tenor in Sametz’s arrangement of Stephen Sondheim’s “Being Alive,” selling the text and its appealing jazzy arrangement well. The Singers closed the concert with a song certainly capturing the “garden” metaphor — Leonard Bernstein’s “Make our Garden Grow” from his opera Candide. In this piece, which seemed to capture the Princeton Singers’ appreciation of the past and hope for the future, the chorus reached its fullest dramatic volume, closing the concert in festive grandeur and clearly looking forward to many seasons of music to come. —Nancy Plum

THE BAD PLUS AT MCCARTER: On Friday, June 8 at 8 p.m., The Bad Plus will perform at McCarter Theatre to kick off McCarter’s Jazz in June Festival. For 17 years, The Bad Plus has defied easy categorization, combining new-millennium rhythms and harmonic flights. This trio has constantly searched for rules to break and boundaries to cross, bridging genres and techniques in their trademark specialty: deconstructing songs from the pop/rock and R&B worlds, and mixing the sensibilities of post-‘60s jazz and indie rock. This year, the Philadelphia-based Orrin Evans joined Reid Anderson and David King as the group’s pianist, replacing Ethan Iverson in the left-of-center trio. A longtime fixture of the jazz scene in his native Philadelphia, Evans has had his own trio (Tarbaby). For more information, visit mccarter.org or call (609) 258-2787.

“Glengarry Glen Ross” at MCCC’s Kelsey Theatre

A group of desperate real estate salesmen are sharpening their knives as they prepare to sell some questionable properties quickly.

The plot is based on work experiences from Mamet’s past – before he became a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. The show had its world premiere at the National Theatre in London in 1983.

Art “Joy of Nature” Exhibit At the Artists’ Gallery

Fine artists Beatrice Bork and Carol Sanzalone will exhibit paintings expressing their personal visions of the splendor of nature in the featured artists exhibit at the Artists’ Gallery, 18 Bridge Street, in Lambertville. Their paintings, celebrating the “Joy of Nature,” combine images of Bork’s admiration of animals and Sanzalone’s sense of place through color and texture. They will be on exhibit from June 7 to July 1. An opening reception with the artists will be held on Saturday, June 9, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. A closing tea and conversation is scheduled for Sunday, July 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. “My art is a reflection of personal experiences through a lifetime of observation and discovery, resources gifted to me by my time in nature,” says Bork. Her watercolor paintings display sensitivity to detail and composition that are elevated by emotional and personal connectivity with her subjects. “Being in nature, observing an animal or bird I’ve never seen before, or simply watching a bumblebee hover from flower to flower — each fills my soul uniquely. It is all a neverending source of inspiration,” says Bork. Over her career as a professional fine artist, she has amassed a list of honors in the genre of animal art. Her work has been displayed in notable exhibitions and museums across the U.S. and abroad — most recently with the Society of Animal Artists in the United Kingdom, and on tour with the Artists for Conservation to Lanwan Art Museum, Lanwan Eco Park in Qingdao, China. The shapes and patterns of color that happen throughout the day and seasons fascinate Sanzalone and inspire her creativity. “I love the graphic qualities of shadows and highlights and their impact on the images in nature that inspire my work,” she says. “It is so rewarding to capture the changing beauty of nature throughout the day and seasons in my paintings.” Previous work in oil and silkscreen printing led Sanzalone to her adventure with water media using transparent washes of color to create patterns and texture in both watercolor and acrylic on paper and canvas. Sanzalone has exhibited her work throughout the Northeast in many juried and

solo exhibits and it is included in many private and corporate collections. Artists’ Gallery is open Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.LambertvilleArts.com.

“A Tale of Two Schools” at D&R Greenway

D & R Greenway Land Trust presents “A Tale of Two Schools,” nature art by students from Hun School of Princeton and Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, on view in the Olivia Rainbow Gallery through June 4. The Hun School’s majestic landscapes were photographed by students age 14 and older. Stacy Collingham is their visual arts instructor. The Stuart nature collages by 4-year-olds were created with Andres Duque, Stuart’s new visual arts teacher. Stuart’s dramatic close-up naturescapes came into being through the inspiration of A ndrew Wilkinson, pho tography and digital design teacher. The Stuart students crafted three-dimensional collages out of discarded paper items. Teddy Dugan and Violeta DeNaples-Lopez were given first prize awards for their work in Communiversity’s recent “Trash ArtStravaganza.” Collingham of the Hun School chose forceful landscapes of near and far, from images gathered by students in the class “Defining Their Aesthetic.” The Olivia Rainbow Gal-

Katie Truk is a multi-media artist who creates colorful, three-dimensional work with pantyhose, wire, a sewing needle, and thread. Her solo exhibition, “Katie Truk: Stretched Sculpture,” is at the Hunterdon Art Museum through September 2. Her inspiration to incorporate pantyhose into her work began innocently enough: A high school friend bought Tr uk an acr ylic tube of brightly colored nylons for her birthday. Entranced by the colors and material, she never wore the nylons, but kept them in the tube and displayed it as a piece of art in her bedroom. Later, as an art student at Alfred College, she attempted repeatedly to include them in her projects. “I tried different things — neon, ceramics, glass blowing — and tried to incorporate the pantyhose in everything I did, but nothing worked,” Truk said. One day after graduating, she was playing around with the pantyhose again, and started ripping them. “I felt bad because I’m not a destroyer; I don’t like negativity. So I started sewing them back together, and before you knew it, I was just sewing pantyhose,” Truk said. Her pieces are a marriage of the malleability of pantyhose and the rigidity of wire. Thread binds and extends the aggression and vulnerability, echoing life’s twists, turns, and pulling within our rigorous regulations and expectations, she notes. “When you break it down, my work is about tension and geometry,” Truk said. “And isn’t that what the world is based on?” Truk’s work has appeared in more than 60 solo and group shows. She has also taught art classes in New Jersey for nearly 20 years. “Stretched Sculpture” includes pieces from several

Her solo exhibition, “Katie Truk: Stretched Sculpture,” is at the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton through September 2. of her past shows and some new ones. She hopes those who view her art will gain a fresh appreciation for pantyhose. “It’s so much more than a torture device for women,” Truk said. “Seeing a person smile when they look at my art is the greatest gift.” The Hunterdon Museum is at 7 Lower Center Street in Clinton. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and suggested admission is $5. For more information, call (908) 735-8415 or visit www.hunterdonartmuseum.org.

“View Finders” Exhibit at Michener Museum

Beginning May 26, the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., will present “View Finders: Four Photographic Voices,” an exhibition showcasing the contemporary work of four photographers in the Delaware Valley: Paula Chamlee, Catherine Jansen, Brian H. Peterson, and Michael A. Smith. “View Finders” will be open through August 26. Curated by Guest Curator Liz K. Sheehan, the exhibit will include Chamlee’s incisive studies of surface and place; a selection from Jansen’s project “1008,” an “experiential journey into sacred storytelling” created in more than 25 trips to India; Peterson’s melodic explorations of nature and light; and a range of Smith’s rarely exhibited portraits from across the globe. On the occasion of the Michener’s 30th anniversary, “View Finders” celebrates the contributions of these artists and recognizes photography as a significant force in the legacy of the region. In concert with the exhibition, the Michener will also present lectures and/ or gallery talks by each artist. Brian Peterson, the Michener’s former chief curator, will present a three-part lecture series. “Despite their differences in process, technique, and equipment, all four artists emphasize the power of photography to represent connection and to communicate an experience of environment, energy, and spirit,” said Sheehan. The James A. Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa. It is open Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. “SNAEFELLSNES PENINSULA, ICELAND”: This photo by Michael A.

I took a course in fine arts at Rutgers, and then got a master’s in fine art at The School of Visual Arts in New York City.” She enjoyed sculpting, and it became a specialty for her. When the opportunity to open a crafts shop was possible, however, she did not hesitate. “New Hope was the right place,” she adds. “We get so many visitors here, including tourists from New York and Philadelphia. And, of course, we have many regular customers from the area, with lots from Princeton. We also have an extensive following online, who are enthusiastic about our website.” Customers enjoy a full cross-section of Heart of the Home’s treasures, reports Castells. Pottery and jewelry are especially popular, and one entire room is a showcase for the jewelry, which is all handmade in the U.S. Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are all on display, as is a collection of wedding rings, which can be customized. Also included is a selection of watches in unique designs for men and women. In addition, the jewelry room includes an assortment of handmade scarves, jackets, hats, and handbags.

Over the years, Mahbubeh has had the ability and opportunity to discover and identify fine qualit y antiques and v intage pieces. “I have been interested in antiques and their history for a long time. My father was an archaeologist, and I saw the value of what is lying under the earth. I am draw n to discovering nice things.” Classical Music It was not antiques, but music that brought Mahbubeh to the U.S., however. Born in Iran, she came

to New York in 1951 to study music. “In Iran, I fell in love with classical music, and I came to the U.S. and studied at the Manhattan School of Music.” She also met her hus band in New York.

available as possible to the masses that compose his flock. Driving around in a modest sedan instead of a stretch limo or ornate popemobile, his high priority ports-of-call include children’s wards in hospitals, prison yards of correctional facilities, and the Auschwitz concentration camp. It is clear that he feels compelled to literally heed Jesus’ plea to minister to “the least of my brethren.” Again and again, Pope Francis’ sermons, touching on timely themes ranging from poverty to pollution, exhibit a sincere concern for the underclass and the disenfranchised. During an address to a joint session of Congress, tears can be seen welling up in the eyes of members on both sides of the aisle. A fitting portrait of the People’s Pope. Excellent (HHHH).

As a public school district, we have a responsibility to set a course for education in Princeton that will best serve our students today and for many years into the future. This fall, the Princeton Public School District will be holding a referendum that will increase capacity in our schools to address the district’s rapidly growing enrollment. The referendum is a critical opportunity to not only add more space for students, but to also begin transforming the spaces in our schools to align with the needs of our students, teachers, and educational goals. For over a century, classrooms and schools have looked more or less the same, but the world around us, the world for which we are preparing our students, has changed dramatically. What was once standard – a classroom filled with rows of desks and a teacher lecturing from the front of the room – is outdated and ineffective. With the referendum, we will be able to create the type of spaces that foster, rather than hinder, the needs of contemporary learning.

Moving towards contemporary learning. To prepare students for demands of the 21st century, our schools are moving in the direction of student-centered learning. This type of learning moves students from passive receivers of information to active participants in the discovery process. Student-centered learning deepens the skills that students will need in today’s workforce: collaboration, digital literacy, effective communication, time management, research and analysis, and critical thinking. One example of student-centered education on which our district is currently focused is problem-based learning. With problem-based learning, teachers design learning experiences that authentically replicate real life situations. By asking students to analyze a complex question or work through a problem rather than simply memorize a concept or series of facts, learning becomes active and relevant. A teacher might give a short lesson on a core concept before asking students to work independently or in small groups to dive deeper into the subject they are studying. Students become critical thinkers who can synthesize knowledge from a variety of subject areas to reach nuanced and accurate conclusions. When a student understands and sees firsthand that what they are learning has a practical application and value in the real world, they have a reason – even a need – to learn at deeper levels, rather than just for a grade on a test. Our teachers and students are already doing this type of work, but the spaces in our schools limit the possibilities.

Transforming spaces for the needs of today – and tomorrow. The designs for the construction of a new 5/6 school and the renovations at Princeton High School will not only provide space for more students, they will provide better space to support the type of teaching and learning that is already happening in our schools. As you look at the designs for the referendum, you will notice spaces for collaboration, for small groups to meet, for multiple classes to gather, and for independent study. These spaces are designed to allow teachers to quickly transition from a full class to breakout groups and back into a large group during a single class period. The spaces are also multifunctional, with furniture and even walls that can quickly and easily be rearranged to accommodate lectures, hands-on projects, and collaboration among small teams of students.

An investment in students. The spaces available in a school for teaching and learning are directly related to the outcomes of student success. Teachers who have worked in contemporary schools with flexible learning spaces frequently report higher engagement among students than in a traditional classroom setting. Indeed, a report published on Penn State’s College of Education website cites a variety of research that found school facilities have a “profound impact on both teacher and student outcomes” and “affect health, behavior, engagement, learning, and growth in achievement” in students. Education today needs to look different than it used to because the world for which we are preparing our students is different. It’s time that we begin to transform our buildings to reflect and support contemporary education. The referendum this fall is a critical opportunity to invest in the future of our schools, in the future of education in Princeton, and the future of our students.

With Junior Star Collins Bringing Talent, Drive PU Women’s Open Crew Primed for NCAAs

t didn’t take long for Claire Collins to make an impact in the sport of rowing. Taking up the sport in the spring of her freshman year at Deerfield Academy (Mass.), Collins was competing for the U.S. National Junior team by that summer. “It accelerated pretty quickly,” said Collins, a native of McLean, Va. who also starred at volleyball and swimming at Deerfield. “Having a swimming background helped a lot with it. I am 5’11 and that is a good size for rowing. I had some natural talent and I had a lot of wonderful mentors and coaches that supported me right from the get-go.” After a high school crew career that saw her earn two silver medals for the U.S. in the Junior Worlds and help Deerfield to a pair of titles at the Youth National Championships, Collins brought her talent to the Princeton University women’s open rowing program in 2015. She ascended to the varsity eight as a freshman and last year helped the top boat enjoy an undefeated regular season on the way to the Ivy title and a ninth place finish at the NCAA Championships. This spring, Collins has continued to excel earning first-team All-Ivy honors as Princeton went 12-1 in regular season action and won the Ivy championship regatta. Over Memorial Day weekend, Collins and the Tigers

will be going after another title as the compete in the NCAA Championships from May 25-27 at Sarasota, Fla. While Collins has enjoyed a smooth rise up the rowing ladder, she ran into some rough water during her freshman campaign at Princeton. “Rowing-wise, it was definitely different because I had never rowed year round, and also I had rowed twice in the 8 because we did mostly 4s at Deerfield,” said Collins “The training was definitely harder and longer and in the fall we do longer races like the Head of Charles. I had never done any of those. I had some ergometer training on my own at Deerfield during swim season, but I had never spent the whole winter on the ERG so that was definitely different.” The training paid off as Collins worked her way into the program’s top boat during her debut season. “I felt coming in that you could contribute right away to the team; there wasn’t any hierarchy,” said Collins. “We had wonderful senior class that year with the Class of 2016. Several of them are training with the national team right now. It was really cool to join a boat with such high-powered individuals. They were definitely welcoming; they gave wonderful advice and support.” That summer, Collins enjoyed a special highlight as the Tigers went across the pond to compete in England.

“Freshman year was fun because the season kept going,” recalled Collins. “We went to Henley that year, I put that at the top of my Princeton experiences. There is the Women’s Henley; it is a shorter race than the Henley Royal Regatta and we won that one. It was exciting and then we competed in the royal henley regatta. It was a big push, it gave a lot of motivation to me and to the team.” In the fall of her sophomore season, Collins had to push though a rib injury. “It was a very formative experience for me,” said Collins. “I learned a lot about myself as a person and as an athlete and how I mentally handle these things.” After its undefeated regular season last spring, the top boat learned some valuable lessons after it failed to make the grand final at the NCAA Championships in nearby Mercer Lake, finishing ninth overall. “We had a meeting right away when we got to our boathouse and talked for an hour about what are we going to do to get better,” said Collins. “It was all of us together with Lori (head coach Lori Dauphiny). There was no blame, it was breaking it down and talking about what can this group do better. Lori was very much our coach and our peer in that moment. We were figuring this out together.”

Bringing that hard-earned perspective into this spring, the Tigers have enjoyed a superb season. “We have taken those goals and those things that we wanted to change into this year,” added Collins. “We changed our training in the winter. Women’s rowing is accelerating pretty quickly; the teams are getting better. It means that there is more competition, it means that the training is getting more and more intense with more volume. It takes more time.” Facing foes from different regions, including Michigan, Iowa, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Virginia, has helped Princeton compete better. “I think the more teams we get to see, we are put into different race situations and that is one of the things we have been working on this season,” said Collins. “It is not just following a race plan, but having a race strategy, being racers, and being more on the offensive. It is hard in rowing, because there are no timeouts. We are on our own and you have to go out and do it. Seeing those different teams helped us in the Ivy competition, both in season and in the Ivy championships. We are able to handle now going into any type of race because we have seen a bunch of different competition.” Noting that there is only one senior in the top boat, Collins believes that its relative youthfulness has been an advantage. “It is not like people aren’t experienced or haven’t been

to nationals, but there is still sort of this fresh perspective and open-mindedness,” said Collins, who is rowing in the four seat and earned firstteam All-Ivy honors along with classmate Emily Kallfelz. “Our boat is still of the mindset that each thing is new and you can respond to it. There is that drive to improve which is really important.” As Princeton prepares for the NCAA regatta, it is driven to do better than last spring. “When we get down there, there are small things, details in the boat that we are working on right now,” said Collins.

“We are trying to let the boat run and find some easy speed. When we get down there, it is race by race.” But along with attention to detail, the Tigers need to simply enjoy the competition to have their best chance to succeed. “I think this crew does best when we are just having fun and we are not feeling a ton of pressure,” said Collins. “Princeton rowers have the danger of over thinking things sometimes. It is always a good reminder for us that we work best when we are relaxed.” —Bill Alden

In late March, the Princeton Universit y women’s lacrosse team dug an early hole against visiting Syracuse and ended up losing 17-16 to the Orange as a late rally fell short. Just over six weeks later, the foes met for a rematch in the opening round of the NCAA tournament and this time, Princeton jumped out to an early lead and then produced a late comeback to pull out a 12-11 double overtime triumph over the Orange. In reflecting on the win in the May 11 contest, Princeton head coach Chris Sailer said the Tigers didn’t make many tactical adjustments from the first meeting between the teams. “I don’t think it was us trying to do anything differently,” said Sailer. “We have really grown a lot as a team since that time. We just wanted to play the game we were capable of.” T he season ended for Princeton two days later as it fell short in a tough game against Boston College, losing 16-10 to the Eagles, who will be playing in the NCAA Final 4 this weekend. “We knew we had to play a great game; we all had to be on point all game long,” said Sailer “We felt like if we could do that, we would stand a good chance to win. We were just off a little bit with a lot of things, whether it was getting stripped or missing a shot where we could have buried it. We certainly had opportunities. The game was fairly even. They ended up with more shots (35-25) than us but it was pretty even in terms of turnovers (19-18 edge for BC) and ground balls (17-14 edge for BC). We couldn’t get over that hump towards the end. We had a couple of goals called back and that kind of hurt.” While the loss in the finale hurt, Princeton gained a lot

from the NCAA experience. “All in all, it was a good weekend for us,” said Sailer. “It was great for us to see that is the level of team and higher that we have to be able to beat in order to ultimately be where we would like to be. We felt like we competed well.” The Tigers showed competitive fire as they bounced back from a shaky first month of the season on the way to going 13-6, winning the Ivy tournament, and advancing in the NCAA tourney. “A 4-4 start was not a place we had been accustomed to in recent years, especially after the loss to Dartmouth,” said Sailer. “March was a tough month for us, but we really started to pull ourselves out of that with a great game against Sy racus e t he f irs t t ime around and then really excellent play down at Delaware (a 15-6 win on March 31) that steamrolled in a positive direction for us since then.” Sailer cited the impact of her seniors, Camille Sullivan, Ellie McNulty, Abby Finkelston, Colby Chanenchuk, Mary Kate McDonough, and Haley Giraldi, in helping the team to get going in the right direction. “It was significant impact from the kids who are stars on the field and play all the time and make plays to kids who are on the sideline, just being great examples of energy, effort and selflessness and giving to the team in a lot of different ways,” said Sailer, noting the team’s Class of 2018 is one of three classes in program history who won or shared four Ivy titles, highlighted by three Ivy tournament championships. “With the group that we graduated last year, they really had to step up and drive the bus this year and they did that.” With five of its six top scorers slated to return along

with its whole defense, Princeton could be looking at a big year in 2019. “We are really excited about the future and what we have coming back; the entire defense will be back and all of the offense except for Colby Chanenchuk,” said Sailer. “In the midfield, we will lose Ellie McNulty and Camille Sullivan so that will be our biggest losses. This year, we had a lot of kids who came in off the bench and played more major roles and stepped up. It is always interesting to see how that is going to turn out. The freshmen were phenomenal; we started five of them for half of the year. You look

at the defense, it was three freshman, a sophomore who hadn’t played a whole heck of a lot and a freshman in the goal. I think that just bodes really well.” But Hall of Fame coach Sailer knows that it will take more than talent for things to go well next season. “As long as we stay committed to the process and work hard everyday, bring the new kids along, and really keep our eyes on what our goals are, we are certainly going to start from a very different spot,” said Sailer. “We were sorting out our lineup halfway through the season, so now we are returning most everyone on our team and we will be able to fill spots where needed. The kids really have a feel for playing together, which is great.” —Bill Alden

SERIOUSLY GOOD: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Kyla Sears heads to goal in a game this season. Freshman attacker Sears produced a sensational debut campaign for the Tigers, scoring 78 points on 60 goals and 18 assists to set the Princeton and Ivy League record for most goals and points by a freshman. The play of Sears helped Princeton go 9-2 in its last 11 games on the way to going 13-6, winning the Ivy tournament and advancing to the second round of the NCAA tourney. With Sears returning along with four of the team’s other five top scorers this spring and the whole defense, the future looks bright for the Tigers. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

LIVING A DREAM: Blake Dietrick ’15 heads upcourt during her career with the Princeton University women’s basketball team. Dietrick made the opening night roster as the Atlanta Dream of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) for the start of the 2018 season. Over the last two years, Dietrick has played for AO Dafni Agioy Dimitrioy of the Greece League and the Bendigo Spirit of the Australian National Basketball League. In 2016, she became the second Ivy League player ever to make a WNBA team as she made the Seattle Storm’s roster. A two-time first-team All-Ivy selection, Dietrick is ranked fourth on the Princeton charts in three-pointers made (210) and three-point shooting percentage (.395). She sits fourth in assists (346) and 12th in scoring (1,233). During her senior campaign, Dietrick helped the Tigers to one of the greatest seasons in Ivy League history.

THIRD PARTY: Princeton High boys’ tennis player Kevin Yang fires a serve in a match this spring. Last Monday, senior star Yang won at third singles to help second-seed PHS defeat fourth-seed Summit 3-2 in the North Jersey 2, Group 3 sectional finals. The Little Tigers, now 18-2, will face South Group 3 champions Moorestown in the Group 3 state semis on the morning May 23 at Mercer County Park with the victor advancing to play the winner of the Montville-WW/P-South semi in the afternoon. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Kevin Yang was thrust into the first singles position for the Princeton High boys’ tennis in 2017 during his junior season and benefitted from the challenge. “Being first singles, I got a lot more good matches and a lot of experience,” said Yang, who played third singles as a sophomore but moved up the pecking order in 2017 when first singles star Noah Lilienthal and second singles standout Jerry Gu decided not to play for PHS due to other commitment With Lilienthal and Gu having retuned to the squad this spring, Yang has moved back to third singles, giving the Little Tigers a lift from that spot in the lineup. Yang has emerging as a force, wining neatly every match this spring and advancing to the Mercer County Tournament final in his flight. L a s t T h u r s d a y, Ya n g came through as secondseeded PHS topped thirdseeded WW/P-North 3-2 in the North Jersey 2, Group 3 sectional semifinals in a match played indoors at Jadwin Gym. Yang posted a straight-set win over Sai Koritela, prevailing 6-4, 6-0. “The groundstrokes were good, I played him in MCT in the semis and I knew it was about moving him around and making him run,” said Yang. Yang made things a little tough on himself late in the first set but got back in a rhythm as he dominated the second set. “I missed a little bit too much on the first set, I still closed it out,” said Yang. “I was calmer, more focused and hit through all of my shots. I was a lot cleaner.” The Little Tigers weren’t surprised to make it through to the sectional final. “It is very exciting but we expected to make it to the finals,” said Yang. On Monday, PHS enjoyed

another exciting win as its trio of singles stars each posted straight-set wins as the little Tigers defeated fourth-seeded Summit 3-2 in the sectional final. PHS, now 18-2, will face South Group 3 champions Moorestown in the Group 3 state semis on the morning of May 23 at Mercer County Park with the victor advancing to play the winner of the Montville-WW/P-South semi in the afternoon. PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert, for her part, knows that her singles standouts have set the Little Tigers apart. “We have ver y st rong singles players; it is proven by the fact that all three of them made it into the singles tournament where usually only the first or maybe the first or second singles players make it,” said Hibbert. Having Yang at third singles is a luxury for Hibbert.

“Kevin had to step up when Noah and Jerry weren’t able to play for us; he had to step up and take the position of first singles out there so he got a lot of good experience,” said Yang “That has really helped him. He has an incredibly strong game. It is just making sure that he stays focused and executes to the best of his ability because when he is on, he is incredibly tough.” Wesleyan College-bound Noah Lilienthal displayed his ability and toughness in his 6-3, 6-2 win over Nolan Shah of WW/P-North. “Nolan is a tough opponent as well; he is a very strong player,” said Hibbert. “Noah really stepped up and played a great match today; he won the big points today. It is a little bit different inside. The court is a little faster and the conditions are a little bit different but he was able to play really well. We feel like he is almost a guaranteed point for us.” At second singles, G u showed why he is also pretty much a guaranteed point, rolling to a 6-2, 6-2 win over Martin Long of WW/PNorth. “Jer r y playe d a g re at match as well,” said Hibbert of Gu, who won the second singles title at the MCT. “His serves were really firing and he was covering the court well. He has been a rock for us this season as well.” Coming into the sectional final, Hibbert sensed that PHS could prevail if it fired on all cylinders. “It is great to get back there, we are in a very tough sectional,” said Hibbert. “We have got a shot; our singles players can compete with the best of them. Hopefully we can stay motivated and focused and come out swinging.” Yang, for his part, has enjoyed competing for PHS, no matter where he is in the lineup. “It has been a really good experience; it has been really fulfilling,” said Yang. “I am really grateful for the oppor tunity to play four years.” —Bill Alden

With Petrone Emerging as Offensive Force, PHS Girls’ Lacrosse Rolls Into Sectional Final Having lost 16-15 to Monroe in late April, the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team didn’t waste any time turning the tables on the Falcons when the foes met in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional semifinals last Monday. PHS jumped out to a 6-1 lead and never looked back on the way to a 17-8 triumph. “We really came together as a team,” said sophomore attacker Eva Petrone, who tallied two goals and two assists in the first half as the Little Tigers built an 8-2 lead by intermission. “We worked together the whole time; our defense had a really good fight.” Petrone was ready to fight hard in the rematch against the Falcons. “I came out wanting to w in,” said Petrone, who ended up with three goals and two assists in the victory. “I just worked with my teammates and whenever I saw the open net, I put it in.” H av i n g c o m e o f f t h e bench in her freshman year, Petrone has worked hard to become more of a factor this spring for the Little Tigers. “As a freshman, I spent a

lot of time on the sidelines, looking and observing and working hard in practice,” said Petrone. “I just try my best when I get on the field to work with my teammates and to learn off of other people. We have a lot of good players on the team.” PHS is saving their best lacrosse for the end, as it is now 12-10 after a 1-5 start and will host second-seeded Rancocas Valley in the sectional title game on May 24. “Our schedule is very difficult this year,” said Petrone. “Coming into the last half of the season, to MCTs and then states, we really just have worked to pull it all together.” PHS head coach Sara Doran liked the way her players worked hard all game long against Monroe. “This team beat us the first time around and it is rare that you get a second chance in a season for redempt ion,” s a id D ora n. “They played their hearts out from the first whistle to the last whistle.” On offense, the Little Tigers showed skill to go with their heart. “We needed to play as a team and trust

each other,” added Doran who got five goals from senior Serena Bolitho in the win with sophomore Shaylah Marciano contributing two goals and four assists and junior standout Mariana Lopez-Ona adding three goals and two assists. “As I look at the goals and assists, it is spread throughout the whole offense. Most of our goals off assists so they were playing as team and trusting each other.” Doran credited Petrone with developing into a force for the PHS offense. “Eva is a phenomenal athlete; she is always the fastest one out there,” said Doran. “She is putting it all together now. I have been working with her on her shot and she is executing that really well. She has really matured this season” The team’s defensive unit is maturing into something special. “It is so critical for defense to be communicating and for all of them to be doing the same thing at the same time,” said Doran, noting that PHS adjusted its defensive formation for the rematch with Monroe to put more pressure on their feeders. “That just takes growth over the course of a season and I can see such a difference from the beginning of the season to now. They are really jelling and coming together.” For Doran, guiding the Little Tigers to a shot at sectional title is bringing back some indelible memories. “It is very exciting,” said Doran, whose team edged Rancocas Valley 11-10 in a regular season contest on April 13. “I was member of the 1985 state championship team here. It has a lot of meaning today for me to be here today with my daughter (sophomore defender Lila Doran) on this team and coaching this team.” Making the sectional final has a special meaning to Petrone as well. “It is amazing; I said in the beginning of the year, the only thing I want to do this year is to get on top and be the best we can be for the season,” said Petrone. “Being sectional champs would just prove that we are a force.” —Bill Alden

Building on Superb Effort Against Steinert in MCT, Erbeck Pitched Hun Baseball Into Prep A Final Jack Erbeck pitched the Hun School baseball team into t he Mercer Cou nt y Tournament semifinals with a br i l l ia nt p er for m a n ce against Steinert on May 9. The junior righty struck out 10 and walked just one as fourth-seeded Hun defeated the four th-seeded Spartans 5-2. After the Raiders fell 9-0 to top-seeded Hopewell Valley in the MCT semis on May 14, they turned their attention to the state Prep A tournament. Last Friday, Erbeck took the mound for top-seeded Hun against fourth-seeded Peddie in the Prep A semis, looking to duplicate his effort against Steinert.

“I was building on that momentum, using my curve ball and fast ball combo,” said Erbeck, who retired the last 11 batters he faced against the Spartans. In the early going against Peddie, Erbeck picked up where he left off, yielding no runs through five innings as Hun built a 7-0 lead over the Falcons. “In the first few innings, I was throwing well, “ said Erbeck. “It was first pitch fast ball and then I came back with my curve.” Erbeck ran into some trouble in the sixth, surrendering two singles, a walk, and an unearned run. He then gave way to reliever Jake

Sloss, who shut down Peddie the rest of the way as Hun prevailed 7-1. “Unfortunately, I got tired and the pitch count went up,” said Erbeck, who ended up going 51/3 innings with 10 strikeouts, four walks, and scattering five hits. While Erbeck had hoped to close the deal against Peddie, he likes how he has progressed on the mound this spring. “For me, it is the strikeoutto-walk ratio. I have been better with my control,” said Erbeck. Two days later, Hun remained in control of Prep A baseball, edging secondseeded Blair 5-4 to win its third consecutive state title. In looking ahead to the championship game, Erbeck sensed that the Raiders were going to come through. “We are a very talented team, top to bottom. We are going to take this momentum into the championship,” said Erbeck. “I think the way we have played all season has prepared us for this. We just need to keep our energy up and if we play the way I know we can play, we will be fine.” —Bill Alden

Chris Pontrella didn’t have a hit as the Hun School baseball team played the Blair Academy in the state Prep A championship game last Sunday. But senior right fielder Pont rella t ur ned out to be Hun’s key batter in the contest, knocking in three runs with two sacrifice flies and a squeeze play as the top-seeded Raiders pulled out a 5-4 win over secondseeded Blair, earning its third straight Prep A title in the process and ending the spring at 15-6. Coming into the game, which was played at Rowland Field in Cranbur y, Pontrella and his teammates were expecting a tense contest with the Buccaneers. “The first game of the season, we came out and we actually crushed them, 17-0,” said Pontrella. “They showed up next time at our field a whole different team ready to play. After that, we knew that we would meet them here and it would be a great battle.” Pontrella helped get Hun into the lead with a sacrifice fly in the first inning to drive in McGwire Tuffy as the Raiders went up 1-0. “I was just trying to put it in play, Mac did all of the work,” said Pontrella. “Adam Wijaya got him over to third that so the fly got us ahead and that is what we were trying to do.” Hun built the lead to 3-0 but then Blair rallied with three runs in the top of the fourth and another in the top of the fifth to forge ahead 4-3. “We were definitely down for a little bit, but we came in and we thought about it,” said Pontrella. “We want to win this game more and it was going to come down to who wants to win it more, and we ended up on top.” In the bottom of the fifth, Pontrella helped put Hun back on the winning track,

lofting a fly to center field that scored Tuffy from third to make it 4-4. “I just try to do whatever I can to get him in, whether it be a base hit or just a fly ball,” said Pontrella. “He gave me the pitch I wanted.” Hun regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth on a sac fly by Blaney Soper and then senior pitcher Chris Murdock closed the door on Blair as Hun prevailed 5-4 to earn its Prep A threepeat. “It is definitely really special; in my freshman year, I came up and we lost to Blair in the second game of the final,” said Pontrella. “It is great to finish the next three.” In Pontrella’s view, there is a special feeling around the program that has helped explain its success. “We really came together this year and that all started in the offseason doing stuff together, like pasta parties,” said Pontrella. “I think we have a really good future.” Hun head coach Tom Monfiletto was proud to see his team come through in the title game. “It is tough to win a championship especially when you know that it is single elimination and it is win or your season is over,” said Monfiletto. “Being the home team gives you a little more comfort, knowing that you will get last try to hit.” In the view of Monfiletto, Pontrella’s mental toughness was a key to the Hun triumph. “Chris doesn’t jump off the page at you, he is our three hitter and he just competes at the plate and just gets the job done,” said Monfiletto. “Having him in that position today was huge for us because he always came up with opportunities to get runs for us and he came through. It is not a surprise at all.”

The stellar relief job from Murdock, who had four strikeouts and gave up two hits and no runs in two and one-third innings of work, wasn’t surprising either. “I think putting Murdock on the mound in those last innings was big,” said Monfiletto “That was the role he had for his last year. He has been amazing for us this year and I think that gave us a little more confidence.” Although Hun was disappointed to lose in the Mercer County Tournament semis earlier in the week, ending with another Prep A title is an amazing achievement. “This is always awesome because you want to compete against your peers,” said Monfiletto. “Knowing that we came out on top three years in a row is a difficult thing to do for sure. It is a great way to end the season.” Monfiletto was happy to see his senior group of Justin Dirk, Adam Zucatti, Alex Cukier, Mark Massad, Frank Del Guercio, Wijaya, Murdock, and Pontrella enjoy a happy ending. “They made a big impact on this program, even the guys that didn’t get on the field as much,” said Monfiletto. “Nobody has shown more of a work ethic or a sense of care for one another. That is going to last for a really long time, on top of the stuff they did on the field.” Pontrella, for his part, is leaving with lasting memories of his time with his Hun teammates. “It is amazing to go out like this, to win the championship,” said Pontrella, who is headed to Boston College. “I am sad to be leaving, but at the same time, I am really happy. I will definitely remember the big games we won like the state championships but just it was more being with the guys. I loved playing with them.” —Bill Alden

Mary Catherine ‘MC’ Shea was hitting at the bottom of the order for the Hun School softball team as it hosted Lawrenceville in the state Prep A semis last week but she ended up being the top producer. Junior right fielder Shea blasted a run-scoring double off the fence in the bottom of the second inning and then added a single in the fifth that led to another run as the second-seeded Raiders rallied for a 4-2 win in the May 15 contest. With Hun having split its two regular season meetings against the Big Red, Shea and her teammates were fired up for the rubber match with their rival. “We were all super ready, not that we weren’t the past two games, but this game we came out with a vengeance,” said Shea. “We lost to them in our first game and we came back and won our second. We knew we had to win, and we knew we wanted to go to Blair.” On her double, Shea had a good feeling as she made contact. “I saw the first pitch came up, it was a ball,” said Shea. “The second came outside and then I think I fouled one

off. The one I got under, I didn’t feel it but I knew it was soaring. It was there.” In the fifth inning, Shea foug ht of f a pitch a n d squibbed the ball past the first baseman to get the Hun rally started. “That was lucky,” said a grinning Shea reflecting on her second hit. Shea was thrilled to deliver in the semis, noting that she had been slumping at the plate. “I hit really well in Florida, and then we came back and I got into a little bit of a funk,” said Shea. “I was able to break out of it.” While Hun banged out 10 hits in the title game last Sunday, it ended up falling 4-3 at top-seeded Blair. Hun head coach Kathy Quirk was proud of the way her team battled past Lawrenceville to get to the final. “We just played our hearts out,” said Quirk. “Alanna [Pearson] did a great job on the mound.” Quirk credited Shea with coming through at the right time against the Big Red. “MC saved her hits for the end of the season,” said Quirk. “She hasn’t hit all season.” The Raiders also showed resilience as they battled

back from a 2-1 fourth inning deficit with senior pitcher Pearson getting stronger as they game went on. “It just displays the hard work we have been giving each other and the confidence they have in their teammates,” said Quirk. “Alanna knows she can’t strike everybody out and that she has a team behind her.” In the title game, Hun generated scoring opportunities but failed to make the most of them. “We had 10 hits, they had six, we just couldn’t capitalize,” lamented Quirk, whose team fell behind 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth and responded with three runs in the top of the sixth before giving up the decisive run in the bottom of the frame on a pair of infield hits. In reflecting on the season, Quirk acknowledged that the Raiders were plagued by uneven play. “It was a roller-coaster ride; it was up, it was down,” said Quirk, reflecting on a campaign that saw Hun overcome a 1-4 start to end up with a 10-7 record. “We had some really key big wins. We beat Blair before in 10 innings. We had two big wins against Lawrenceville. We had a 1-0 loss against Northern Burlington, which is one of the top teams in the state.” Hun’s trio of seniors, Julia Revock, Keelan Ryan, and Pearson, played a key role in the team’s late surge. “Revock is the only fouryear starter. She has done a great job whether she has played first base or whether she was on the mound,” said Quirk “She is very consistent, she is very dedicated. Her job three-quarters of the time was to bunt. When we called on her, she did what she had to do. Keelan Ryan was a very steady second baseman. Both her and Julia were captains and did a nice job with the leadership skills. We had Alanna for two years. We didn’t know how she was going to be this year (due an ACL injury and broken arm suffered last summer) but I think she got stronger each game.” L ook ing ahead, Qu irk believes the program has a strong foundation in place. “We have a good group returning and we just have some unfinished business to do,” said Quirk. “We are going to have to move some people around and try to find the best combination. Erin Harrigan was the backup pitcher and she is going to be seeing a lot of playing time. There are a couple of kids coming up from the middle school.” Quirk hopes her returning players have gained some lessons from the topsy-turvy 2018 campaign. “I think they need more consistency,” said Quirk. “They have got to be able to bounce back when something doesn’t go right and I think they have in most cases.” In Shea’s view, the squad’s character was a defining quality this spring. “The thing that is remarkable about this team is that we are resilient, we know we can bounce back,” said Shea. “We are at our best when we are down and we don’t let it beat us.” —Bill Alden

Stuart piled up 115.50 points at the competition held on May 7 at Newark Academy, highlighted by senior star Michelle Kwafo winning the 100 meter dash, the 200, and the 100 hurdles with classmate Allison Walsh taking first in the high jump and the 4x400 relay ending the meet with a win and a school record. “We figured we would be around 100 points, getting 115.50 was very good. Other people came through at the last moment,” said Stuart head coach Len Klepack. “We have good sprinters, good jumpers and we got a young girl, Taj’hanna Tyson, a sophomore, who scored second in the shot put. That was unexpected.” But despite all the stellar performances, Stuart left the track at Newark Academy that day with a bittersweet feeling as it finished in second, one point behind Villa Walsh and its total of 116.50. “They were happy that t h e y s c or e d t h at m a n y points ; t he meet ended with the 4x400 that was so exciting for them to break the school record,” said Klepack. “Their mind was on enjoying what those four girls did. You are a state champion in an event that you hadn’t won, but then you found out you lost by one point.” But in a case of better late than never, Stuart was officially named last week by

the New Jersey Independent School Athletic Association (NJISAA) as the 2018 Prep B co-champion. The designation stemmed from an appeal of points earned based on NJISAA rules and regulations as they apply to the Prep B Championship. “The feeling is that we were deserving; they were in our estimation the best group of athletes that the school has assembled for that one sport,” said Klepack, who guided the Tartans to the Prep B indoor title this past winter as the program won both track titles in the same school year for the first time ever. “It is deserving because of the hard work and the time they have put into it and the results. They won it, in my mind, on the field.” Senior star Kwafo was clearly the best in the field as she added a second place finish in the long jump to her three titles. “She has at least eight state titles; she is a very good athlete and multitalented in the hurdle, long jumps, sprints,” said Klepack, noting that Kwafo is heading to the Coast Guard Academy where she will be competing for its track program. Senior high jumper Walsh’s title was her third, having won the indoor title in both 2017 and 2018. “Allison is probably the most consistent of all of our athletes,” asserted Klepack. “She is also one who gives her knowledge to others.” Junior Francois is de veloping into a consistent performer, starring in the hurdles and anchoring the

champion 4x400 relay. “Priscilla finished second in the intermediate hurdles; we put her in the 100 hurdles and she had her best race ever in the straightaway finishing third,” added Klepack. Sophomores Heather Kwafo, Jasmine Hansford, and Alex Ottomanelli are emerging as top racers. “One future star is going to be Michelle’s sister, Heather, she has talent and leg speed,” said Klepack. “Jasmine is another one who is multi-talented. She scored in the triple jump, in the 4x100 and then she came beck and did her best split in the 4x400. Alex scored in the intermediate hurdles and that is a new event for her. She led off and gave us a 30-meter lead in the 4x400. She did her best time by three seconds on the leadoff leg. They want to be competitive, so you find talent.” In Klepack ’s v iew, the blend of competitive fire, discipline, and togetherness is the formula that has spurred the program to new heights. “It says how hard these young ladies have worked to balance athletics and academics,” said Klepack. “We have been teaching them about how to prioritize time management, dedication, and focus. We got leadership from people like Allison, Kenya Brenya, and Sonia Mohandas, who are the captains. They became more aware of each other, feeling good for what they do and the other teammates, even those who didn’t score. They are rooting for each of them.” —Bill Alden

Sparking the Growth of High School Hockey in N.J., PDS Legend Rulon-Miller Inducted Into Hall of Fame When Harry Rulon-Miller took up hockey in the 1940s as a grade schooler skating in nearby Baker Rink on the campus of Princeton University, he couldn’t develop his skills in recreation leagues or travel hockey programs. “It was a passion,” recalled Rulon-Miller. “There was nothing really organized.” Falling in love with the game, Rulon-Miller played at Princeton Country Day through ninth grade and then finished his high school career at the St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire. He returned home to star for the Princeton University men’s hockey program,

leading the team in scoring, serving as a team captain in the 1957-58 season, and earning the Blackwell Award winner. From 1968 - 81, RulonMiller served the head coach of the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey program, taking a key role as the sport became a fixture on the high school sports scene. He later coached the PDS middle school team and was the rink coordinator at McGraw Rink. In 2014, the school’s annual invitational hockey tournaments were named in Rulon-Miller’s honor. Getting recognized for his contribution as a coach, Rulon-Miller was inducted

into the New Jersey High School Hockey Hall of Fame last month For Rulon-Miller, heading to New England was a formative experience in his Hall of Fame career. “They had a hockey tradition, which was very long,” said Rulon-Miller, 82, in his distinctive raspy voice. “They had at six rinks on the lower school pond and up to 27 teams playing intramural hockey. I got there as a sophomore and I played in the intramurals, but also almost immediately got on the St. Paul’s varsity and played for that for three years.” Coming home for college,

Rulon-Miller was the leading scorer for the Princeton University men’s hockey team in his three varsity campaigns even though things didn’t come easy for him. “It was a grind, I was constantly nervous,” said RulonMiller. “I was a basically a leader by example, not too verbal. I was really quite unsure underneath it, especially as a captain in my senior year.” For Rulon-Miller, his college career taught him that he had just scratched the surface in his hockey education. “In retrospect, my head for the game developed after Princeton,” said RulonMiller. “By the time I had finished Princeton where I played in about 67 games there as a varsity player plus 11 as a

freshman, I had not been in as many games that some peewee team is in now. The sense of the game requires a constant repetition and playing and playing. I was a good athlete but just did not have the playing experience.” A f ter g raduat ing f rom Princeton in 1958, RulonMiller tried out for the 1960 U.S. Olympic squad and then played in adult amateur leagues for local hockey clubs and was also a fixture in the Garden State League. It was the latter experience that exposed RulonMiller to a key influence in his understanding of the game. “It included one of the best teachers who ever came out of the north part of New Jersey, a guy named John Warchol who was about 17 when I first met him,” recalled Rulon-Miller. “He was constantly around rinks for most of his life and, just by sheer will, he ended up on the 1964 U.S Olympic team. He coached Seton Hall Prep for years and that was one of the better teams up there then. I always respected him.” I n 1961, Ru lon - M i l ler joined the faculty of Princeton Day School and got into coaching, serving as the head coach of the PDS boys’ varsity team from 1968-81. “That was tough because I had virtually no experience other than playing,” said Rulon-Miller. “Luckily in the early ‘60s and ‘70s, I was a follower of the wily mentor Dick Vaughan ( t he P r inceton Universit y men’s hockey head coach for 22 seasons), who was a longtime student of the game. He even wrote some books about it. He just had a great mind for the game and he actually worked with PCD/PDS hockey teams as a consultant, always there from the mid-’50s to at least 1973.” In order to hone his coaching skills, Rulon-Miller did his share of studying and teaching. “I d id a lot of working with kids and figure

skating teachers; I learned a lot about skating,” said R u l o n - M i l l e r, w h o r a n U.S.A. hockey clinics and instructed at hockey schools in the summer, notably the Pocumtuck Hockey School in Western Massachusetts. “The other part was working at the hockey schools in the summer.” Looking back at his tenure as PDS varsity coach, Rulon-Miller relished the competition with two arch rivals, the Hill School (Pa.) and the Lawrenceville School. “I was in a constant battle of the strategies of the game with the coach of Hill School, who was the legendary Tom Eccleston, who started in Berryville, R.I. and he previously coached college hockey,” said RulonMiller. “My teams beat Eccleston three times overall. I only coached in about 200 games, the seasons were shorter then. I was a little better against Lawrenceville, I think it was about 14 or 15 wins. Of the 200 games, about 65-70 were against Hill and Lawrenceville.” W h i l e R u l o n - M i l l e r ’s coaching resume may not be overwhelming, his role in putting the high school game on the map in New Jersey made him a natural choice for the state’s Hockey Hall of Fame. “I figured that I deserved it because I was in the beginning of high school hockey becoming a big deal,” said Rulon-Miller. “I also had all kinds of friends in high places.” With Rulon-Miller having been around New Jersey rinks for that last 70 years or so, his many friends in the game defer to his extensive hockey knowledge. “I feel that my myth has been expanded significantly,” quipped Rulon-Miller with a grin. “Even though I am treated like an old geezer, people seem to say ‘you know a lot about what is going on out there.’” —Bill Alden

Phyllis Riley Schmucki Phyllis Riley Schmucki of Skillman, N.J.,died on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. She was 94. Phyllis was born in East Orange, N.J. on July 19, 1923. Her father was Charles J. Riley and her mother was Josephine Petrullo. Phyllis graduated from the Clifford J. Scott High School in East Orange, where she met her close lifelong friend Janice Howland. After high school Phyllis attended the Traphagen School of Design in New York City. During World War II Phyllis worked as an expediter at the Eastern Aircraft division

of General Motors Company in Newark, N.J. After the war Phyllis worked for United Airlines as Supervisor of their New York City Ticket Office. She was named United Airlines Employee of the Year. On April 15, 1950, Phyllis and Bud were married and honeymooned at ALTA ski resort. They made their first home in East Orange, N.J., then built their beautiful home in Morristown, N.J., where they raised their three children Lisa, Ross and Tina. They lived on Springbrook Road for 56 years. Life was filled with Springbrook neighbors and kids, The Kent Place School, The Peck School, and summers in Jaffrey, N.H., and Mantaloking, N.J. Phyllis joined the Women’s Association of Morristown Memorial Hospital, and supervised 19 “TWIG” volunteer groups with over 300 volunteer members. She served on the Board of the Association, and managed hospital fundraisers such as the Diamond Jubilee Ball and the Third Family Festival. Her favorite projects were chairing the designer committee of “Upton Pyne - A Mansion in May” and serving as Chair of “Giralda - A Mansion in May.” These projects raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the hospital, received national recognition, and attracted high profile attendees such as First Lady Betty Ford. Phyllis also served on the Board of Morristown Memorial Hospital and The Peck School. Bud Schmucki was the love of Phyllis’ life. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2010 before he died. They were tremendous homemakers and loving parents with a wide social network of friends. Phyllis was proud that her husband and all her children

graduated from Princeton University and loved participating in Princeton events. Later in life Phyllis and Bud vacationed at favorite places in Europe. Phyllis dearly loved her sons and daughters-in-law, and adored her six grandkids, who were a constant joy to Phyllis. After Bud died, Phyllis moved to Stonebridge in Skillman, to be near her daughter Lisa. She missed Bud and Morristown, but made great friends at Stonebridge, maintained her apartment perfectly, saw her children regularly, planned festive birthday and holiday gatherings at The Nassau Club, and enjoyed her grandchildren’s talents and busy lives. She never stopped being a friend to all. Phyllis is survived by her children, Lisa Schmucki of Belle Mead, N.J., Ross and Kim Schmucki of Swarthmore, Pa., Tina Schmucki and Francois Mitelberg of Manhattan Beach, Calif.; and grandchildren, Eleanor Oakes of Detroit, Mich.; Alex Schmucki and Melanie Wender of Elkins Park, Pa.; Chris and Jane Schmucki of Swarthmore; and GeorgesLouis and Timothy Mitelberg of Manhattan Beach.

MFG., CO.

1 BATTLE ROAD | PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY 08540 Even walls of stone cannot contain the Old World romance radiating from this storied Princeton home on a coveted corner in the Institute area. Crushed stone paths, sculpted boxwoods, and the melodious splash of a fountain mimic the sights and sounds of a European country villa and the ambience only swells once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under the Spanish tile roof. Built in 1920 for Princeton University professor and friend of Albert Einstein, Charles McClure, the house features plaster walls, wrought iron detailing, and Juliet balconies. In recent years, renowned architect Bob Bennett renovated the spaces for better functionality and repurposed a guest house as the new main level master wing complete with separate dressing rooms leading to a luxurious limestone bath. Entertaining spaces include the barrel vaulted living room with a monumental fireplace and equally impressive arched window. From the balcony above, Einstein is said to have serenaded fellow guests on his violin. Through carved wooden doors, the dining room is large enough to hold two tables at once, while still inviting intimate conversation. Antique boulangerie-style doors decorate a walk-in pantry off the kitchen, which has side-by-side Sub Zeros adjacent a glass-front china cupboard spanning the length of a wall. The breakfast and family rooms are warm and open. High-end embellishments pepper every room. Even the powder room has upholstered walls and an antique vanity. The upper floor comprises an open sitting room, three more bedrooms, and two baths. Despite its Old World looks, the house is fully wired and modernized with a discreetly attached garage. Ideally located close to the Dinky, Princeton University, The Institute for Advanced Study, Springdale Golf Club, and downtown Princeton. Wonderfully priced for immediate sale at $2,499,000.
