In yesterday’s primary election, Democrats Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson earned the highest number of votes for two open seats on Princeton Council. According to unofficial results, Niedergang won 2,363 votes, while Williamson got 1,792. The two seats are to be vacated at the end of the year by longtime Council members Heather Howard and Lance Liverman. Also vying for the posts on the Council were Democrats Michelle Pirone Lambros, who earned 892 votes; Surinder Paul Sharma, who received 573; and Adam Bierman, who got 514. Alvin McGowen, who dropped out of the race but was on the ballot, earned 140 votes. Lisa Wu, the lone Republican running, will represent her party in the November election. Niedergang received the Princeton Community Democratic Organization endorsement for Council, while Williamson earned the organization’s support for Council. They both also won the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee’s vote to determine recommended ballot placement. Democratic Congresswoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman, who represents New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, ran unopposed. In the November election she will face Republican Daryl Kipnis, who was also unopposed in yesterday’s primary. Voters also cast ballots for the United States Senate, with Democrats Robert Menendez earning 59 percent at press time and Lisa A. McCormick receiving 41 percent. On the Republican side, Bob Hugin received 82 percent of the votes and Brian D. Goldberg got 18 percent. Running unopposed for Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders were Democrats Ann M. Cannon, Samuel T. Frisby Sr., and Pasquale “Pat” Colavita. Republicans running unopposed for Freeholder were Michael Silvestri, Mary R. Walker, and Andrew Curcio. Niedergang, a Princeton resident since 1985, works at the Watershed Institute and had her own business in educational testing for several years. This is her first time running for a government post. Williamson, who was born in Jamaica and grew up in Trenton, is an attorney in private practice. He is a member of the town’s Planning Board and chairs the Zoning Amendment Review Committee. —Don Gilpin —Anne Levin

Eisgruber Tells Graduates to Champion Higher Education

Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, presiding over the University’s 271st commencement ceremony yesterday on the front lawn of Nassau Hall, asked the graduates to become champions of higher education. “The world needs more college degrees,” he said. A total of 1,281 seniors were awarded undergraduate degrees, three from former classes, and 563 students received graduate degrees. The University also conferred five honorary degrees for contributions to public service, architecture, education, and the humanities. The honorary degree recipients were the Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J., founder and executive director of Homeboy Industries, a Los Angeles gang rehabilitation program; Lonnie Bunch III, founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture; Robert Geddes, professor of architecture emeritus at Princeton and dean of the School of Architecture for 17 years before retiring in 1989; R. Barbara Gitenstein, president of The College of New Jersey since 1999, the first woman to have that role in TCNJ’s 160-year history; and Carla Diane Hayden, the 14th librarian of congress, the first woman and the first African American to lead the

national library. The full text of Eisgruber’s speech follows: In a few minutes, all of you will march through FitzRandolph Gate as newly minted graduates of this University. Before you do, it is my privilege to say a few words about the path that lies ahead. It is indeed a privilege, and also a joy, to address you, for all of you who graduate today have accomplished something genuinely important and worth celebrating. You have completed a demanding

course of study. It will transform your life in many ways. It will expand the range of vocations you can pursue, increase your knowledge of the world, deepen your capacity to appreciate societies and cultures, and provide a foundation for lifelong learning. So we celebrate here on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall, as do other college communities in courtyards, auditoria, arenas, and stadia around the country. Graduates toss caps in the air and

The Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) has withdrawn two of the components of its $130 million bond referendum application to expand and renovate district schools, and will seek to purchase two buildings on 15 acres on Thanet Road rather than a Herrontown Road building previously under option.. Driven by the availability of the 100-101 Thanet Road property for $6.5 million as a more practical alternative to the earlier plan, the new proposal will allow the district to relocate administrative offices to

Thanet Road and drop plans to construct administrative offices on school property next to John Witherspoon Middle School. The Thanet Road property, located off Terhune Road with about 110,000 feet of office space, would also accommodate transportation and maintenance offices, as well as school bus parking. Since students would not be on the Thanet Road property, no additional approvals from the DOE would be necessary, and, according to PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane, the timetable

Speaking at Pr inceton Universit y Class Day on Monday, U.S. Senator Cory B ooker urged t he 2018 graduates to lead lives of humility and gratitude, and to “tell your truth, embrace the world, and use your power every day.” A New Jersey Senator since 2014 and widely

touted as a Democrat ic presidential candidate for 2020, Booker said, “I want to impart to you all that you are powerful. Power is not measured by your position or titles or wealth. People give up their power by not realizing that they have it in the first place.”

Rejecting the “great man or woman theory of history,” he continued, “The nation was shaped and formed by the people you’re never going to read about in history books. One decision by one person on one day ripples out into the community. Never forget that the biggest thing you can do on almost every day is often just a small act of kindness, decency, love, or caring.” As the keynote orator at an event featuring several student speakers and honor ing nu merous st udent prize winners, Booker interwove his exhortations to the students with the story of his personal journey from growing up in Northern New Jersey to eventually serving as mayor of Newark then U.S. Senator. “Don’t forget where you came from,” he said. “Don’t forget that the title does not make the man or the woman. The man or woman must make the title.” As he was constantly reminded by his parents while growing up, Booker reminded the Princeton seniors, “Life’s not about the degrees you get but the ser vices you give.” He mentioned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University, a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University and his law degree from Yale University, but stated, “I got my PhD on the streets of Newark.” He noted that he has a map of Newark on the wall of his Senate office in Washington, adding, “I love this state, and I love her largest city.” Booker used his life story as an example of the power and the ripple effect of seemingly small acts. He described sitting in the office of Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, “one of the bravest men in all of the Civil Rights Movement. A hero to me, a giant. The man is just so humble. He is so kind, and he is trying to tell me that I am the mani-

festation of the dreams he had. He was a teacher to me about what is power. It’s not in titles. It’s about the truth he lives every day.” Booker continued, “The true definition of patriotism is not how loud you sing the national anthem, or the pin you have on. You cannot love your country unless you love your country’s men and women. Your first language must always be love. This is what power is about.” The second part of his story went back to 1965, before Booker was born, when a young Northern New Jersey lawyer sitting on his living room couch watching TV saw Lewis and other civil rights demonstrators in Selma beaten with billy clubs Continued on Next Page

by Alabama state troopers. He and his partner couldn’t go to Alabama, but they decided, “why don’t we do the best we can with what we have where we are,” Booker related. “They did not allow their inability to do everything to undermine their determination to do something.” And in 1969, the year Booker was born, that lawyer helped Booker’s parents to break through racist segregation practices in Harrington Park, New Jersey and buy the house where young Booker grew up. “I would not be here today if it weren’t for that chain reaction,” he told the graduates. “One man sitting on the couch can make a difference. To do nothing is to contribute to the injustice. If you show up every day, give a little every day, care a little, heal a little, listen a little, love a little every day, you are powerful. Embrace the world with your spirit and your truth.” —Donald Gilpin

“Wow, what a spectacular building. I was able to see all the different rehearsal rooms. It’s just incredible the way the rooms can transform to accommodate various performances and seating arrangements. When I was in school, I had a band and Bulworth and McCarter were the only dedicated rehearsal facilities. Now that we have the Lewis Center, I think we are going to have more bands and performing groups. The arts are so important to the University, and I think it’s going to be an absolute boon.”

professors applaud. Families cheer and holler enthusiastically. Yet, even as we do so, we see a strange trend from columnists, bloggers, think tanks, and politicians. In essays, books, and speeches, some of them suggest that too many students are earning college degrees.

Too many college graduates : that is a very odd claim, because the economic evidence for the value of a college degree is overwhelming. For example, in 2014, economists Jaison Abel and Richard Deitz of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York estimated the average annual return on investment from a college degree, net of tuition paid and lost earnings,

at between nine percent and 16 percent per year for a lifetime. For the last two decades, the return on investment has hovered at the high end of that range, around 15 percent per year. By comparison, the historical average return on investments in the American stock market is around seven percent per year. That is why my friend Morton Shapiro, the

WITHERSPOON PAINTING COMPANY 174 NASSAU STREET PRINCETON, NJ 08542 WITHERSPOONPAINTING.COM 609.455.9799

president of Northwestern University and a leading educational economist, says that for most people, the decision to invest in a college degree will be “the single best financial decision they make in a lifetime,” even if judged purely in terms of financial return on investment. A degree conveys many other benefits as well. For example, college graduates report higher levels of happiness and job satisfaction, even after controlling for income. College graduates are healthier than non-graduates. They are more likely to exercise, more likely to vote, and have higher levels of civic engagement. To these pragmatic considerations we should add the joys that come with an increased capacity to appreciate culture, the arts, the world’s diversity, and the inherent beauty of extraordinary ideas. The numbers I have quoted are not specific to Princeton. On the contrary, they are averages over all fouryear degrees, in all fields, from all colleges in the United States. Think about that for a moment: on average, all degrees in all fields from all colleges generate an annual return between nine percent and 16 percent, and this return is supplemented by additional benefits to health, happiness, and quality of life. How could anyone think we need fewer college graduates? S o m e p e op l e a n s w e r that you can learn a trade without getting a college degree. Welders, they observe, can make more money than many college graduates. That’s true. There are, of course, reasons why you might want to get a college degree even if you plan to become a welder. You might worry, for example, about what happens if technology renders your trade obsolete, or arthritis leaves you unable to practice it, or you want to move into management or explore other interests. A college degree equips you to respond to the changes — to yourself, and to the world —

that inevitably occur over a lifetime. Still, if pundits and politicians were saying only that America needs better vocational training, I could agree wholeheartedly. It would be terrific if more people could get the training they need to practice a trade. But at the same time it would also be great if more people, not fewer, could receive the extraordinary benefits that come with a college degree. So I ask again: why would anyone think we need fewer college graduates? I think there is a simple answer. Education requires high-quality teaching. Teaching, in turn, depends upon skilled labor, which is expensive. As a result, the up-front cost for education is real, large, and easy to measure. The returns are equally real and even larger, but they accrue over a lifetime, are hard to measure, and vary from person to person. It is tempting to wish that you could get more certainty at lower cost. The people who call for fewer degrees yield to that temptation. They emphasize the short-term. They focus almost entirely on the price of college and on the salaries students might earn in their first jobs. That is a mistake. A college education is a long-term investment. It enables graduates to develop and adapt, and it pays off spectacularly in the long run. The idea that we would be better off with fewer college graduates is a shortterm swindle, a swindle that will cheat America’s young people, weaken the nation’s economy, and undermine our future. We need to have the confidence to invest in our young people and to ensure that a college education is accessible and affordable for students from all backgrounds and financial circumstances. I hope that all of you who graduate today, and who experience the power of education in your own lives, will become advocates for the value of higher education in our society. There is a national conversation taking place right now about the value of higher education, and we need your voice in that conversation. We need you, in other words, to help others to achieve in the future what you achieve today. How can you help more students earn college degrees? Here are three suggestions. First, become advocates for the importance of completion rates. A college education produces a tremendous return—if you get the degree. Returns are much lower if you start college but do not get the degree. The highest default rates on student loans do not involve college graduates with big debts. They instead involve students with small debts who never finish college and so never get the earnings boost that comes with a degree. A few moments ago, we awarded an honorary degree to President Barbara Gitenstein. Over her nearly two decades leading The College of New Jersey, she raised the College’s fouryear graduation rate from 58 percent to 75 percent, a number that puts TCNJ’s ontime completion rate among the top ten in the nation for public colleges and universities. By raising TCNJ’s graduation rate, President

Gitenstein has improved the lives of thousands of students who might have left school with debt but no degree. Be an advocate for higher education leaders like Bobby Gitenstein, and for colleges like TCNJ that commit to improving completion rates. Second, support America’s public institutions of higher education. State subsidies for public colleges and universities have declined precipitously, and state funding represents an increasingly small share of the budget at public research universities. At the University of Michigan, for example, state funding now accounts for only about nine percent of total revenues. In the 1950s, by contrast, that number was 80 percent. Tuition at state universities has risen not because they have increased their expenditures per student, but because state legislatures have hollowed out their other sources of support. America depends on its public colleges and universities. They are engines of social mobility and innovation. Princeton and other private universities make essential contributions to the nation and the world — but there is no way that we could ever replace America’s great public institutions. They are a national treasure, and I urge you to support them. Third, stand up for the importance of enabling more students from low-income families to earn college degrees. Princeton’s Great Class of 2018 graduates today as the most socioeconomically diverse class in the 272-year history of this University. You will not hold that record for long. Other classes already at Princeton will break your record. Our graduate programs are likewise drawing upon new sources of talent: this spring we admitted the most socioeconomically diverse class of doctoral students in Princeton University’s history. At Princeton we believe in socioeconomic diversity because we know that to achieve excellence as a University and as a nation we must draw talent from every sector of society. We know, too, that a Princeton degree is a rocket-booster for students seeking socioeconomic mobility. If we want to heal the divisions that inequality has produced in this country, we must ensure that students from low-income backgrounds receive the educations they need to develop their abilities and contribute to our society. As I look out at our extraordinar y class of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree recipients, I take pride in your excellence and your diversity, and I am excited about the contributions you will make in the years ahead. The world needs more college degrees, not fewer. We need more celebrations like the one we hold today, with more proud families and happy graduates ready to go out and make a positive difference in the world. All of us on this platform are thrilled to be a part of your celebration. We applaud your achievements. We send our best wishes as you begin the adventures that lie ahead, and we look forward to welcoming you back to this campus on future visits. To the Great Class of 2018 and all of our graduates, congratulations!

Resident, Former Netherlands Native Writes in Support of “Beta Bike Lane”

To the Editor: I support the “Beta Bike Lane,” which is a vast improvement over the shared lane markings or “sharrows,” which did little to make me feel safer when biking on Hamilton Avenue and Wiggins Street. Riding my bike there, I felt just barely tolerated, certainly not welcomed. It is off-putting to feel that way on what is, after all, a public road. The experimental bike lanes make me feel much safer, since I am no longer competing for space with automobiles. For the same reason, driving a car there in the presence of bikers has also become easier. I’ve lived in Princeton for 25 years but I was born in the Netherlands, where a bike is still my main mode of transportation when I visit. In contrast, I hardly ever bike in Princeton: it hasn’t felt safe. But these experimental bike lanes show that, yes, it is possible to feel comfortable riding my bike here. I am looking forward to the day when the bike lanes become permanent, and beyond that to the time when there will be safe bike lanes throughout the town. MICHAEL FAAS Dempsey Avenue

Employee of Nassau Street Business PHS Students Urge Board to Renew Has Issue With Engine Brake Noise Send-Receive Agreement With Cranbury To the Editor: I have the distinct pleasure of working several days a week in Princeton at Landau’s on Nassau Street. There is the usual pedestrian and vehicular traffic along Nassau, yet there is something that stands out much more than any other noise created by cars, trucks, and motorcycles along this busy thoroughfare: the engine brake noise. The heavy dump trucks, some with two and others with three rear axles, as well as some semi-trailer tractors use this engine brake to slow forward motion. The engine brake uses the power of the engine by reversing or blocking piston thrust to slow the vehicle, and it is used along with the regular pneumatic brakes on these trucks and tractors. The issue here is that this brake creates a great amount of noise, and along with the noise, vibrations that virtually shake window panes and walls. Many small towns prohibit the use of the engine brake in their downtown areas. What about Princeton? With a speed limit posted at 25 mph, is there really a need for the operators of these heavy vehicles to use that engine brake? YUVAL KRAUSZ Edgemere Drive, Princeton Manor

To the Editor: We, as current students of Princeton High School, are writing to urge the Princeton Board of Education to vote to renew the send-receive agreement with Cranbury. There are several reasons why it is vital to renew this agreement. One is the financial impact that terminating the agreement would have on the schools. The tuition that is paid by Cranbury is the second largest portion of the operating budget for the Princeton Public Schools, making up six percent of the total revenue for the district. According to a projection shown in the April 24 Princeton Board of Education meeting, if we broke off the agreement with Cranbury, the financial losses in four years would be equivalent to losing about ¼ of the staff members at Princeton High School. In addition, terminating the send-receive relationship would not replace the need for a referendum. The district would still be overcapacity in all of the schools, including the high school. Most importantly, Cranbury students are a vital part of the community of Princeton High School. They are our peers and our friends. They are the people with whom we eat lunch, engage in clubs and activities, and lament the lack of sleep that we all experience. We are so lucky to have them at Princeton High School and in our lives. The ideal goal of every school is to be the center of its community. The send-receive relationship with Cranbury has gone one step beyond that goal; it has created a joint community between Princeton and Cranbury because of the schools. We understand that it is a difficult time and that many people are worried about the impact of the referendum. However, it is not acceptable to attack our fellow students and send a message to them that they do not belong. The towns of both Cranbury and Princeton are filled with people who are incredibly engaged in their communities. Let us all come together to discuss our concerns and our ideas for solutions as a community, rather than creating a sense of hostility towards students in our schools.

Asking Parents to Imagine Their Children Subjected to DHS Separation Policy

To the Editor: If you are a parent, please imagine your child — picture them vividly in your mind— at age one, or three, or five, or twelve — torn from everything they know, in a completely foreign place where they do not speak the language and have no idea what tomorrow will bring. Now imagine them forcefully separated from you, not even knowing if they will ever see you again. Imagine their terror, the lifetime scars. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently enacted a policy separating children as young as one-year-old from their parents at the border, supposedly as a means of deterring illegal immigration. This is done to those seeking asylum, those fleeing conflicts and violence, and looking for a better future for their children. In some cases, parents are deported but their children stay in custody indefinitely in the United States. This is not an exaggeration — I have been talking to an 281 Witherspoon Street, a new 2 story building linked by a glass immigration attorney who said she is following lawsuits involving parents who have been separated from a 12-monthbridge to a 3 story building located next to Avalon Bay Apartments old, 18-month-old, and many 2-year-olds and 4-year-olds.

To the Editor: Let’s elevate the debate over the Cranbury sending receiving agreement (SRA). I am a graduate of the Princeton public schools and a parent of three PPS students/graduates, with a 30-year career in teaching, education policy research, and program evaluation. Some supporters of the SRA have portrayed those opposing it as a few misinformed individuals who have something against Cranbury students. But, one nasty sign notwithstanding, it appears to me that it is the supporters of the SRA that are making this argument about the kids. The discussion should be focused on the financial health of the district, and there is a well-reasoned argument against the SRA, one that takes into account both the costs and the revenue involved. To characterize dissenters as a few mean crazies is absurd and condescending. Well-qualified people have volunteered considerable time and energy researching this issue and they deserve to have their arguments heard and evaluated. The message from the board has been that this is not worth discussing, a “no-brainer” or too complicated for us to understand. Curtailing the debate by rushing to vote would be a mistake with long-term consequences. While some seem to feel that questioning spending decisions is “anti-public education,” I believe that keeping PPS strong means more than giving blind support. It also means being honest about where improvements are needed — in reducing inefficiencies, in stewardship of real estate assets, and in making sure people are doing their jobs effectively. It is the school board’s job to weigh the facts and investigate the ramifications of this decision, not to market a predetermined plan with incomplete data. I urge all citizens of Princeton to educate themselves about the SRA issue, to consider the arguments for and against it, and to let the school board members know your views.

The David Library of the American Revolution will present “’In a Private Manner, Without Parade or Funeral Oration’: The Funeral George Washington Wanted but Didn’t Get,” a lecture by Mary V. Thompson, on Wednesday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. It will take place at the David Library, 1201 River Road, Washington Crossing. Although the lecture is admission free, reservations are required, and can be made by calling (215) 493-6776 ext. 100, or by sending an email to rsvp@dlar.org. In George Washington’s last will and testament, he took care to note that he wanted a simple, private funeral. When Washington died unexpectedly five months after drawing up his will, Congress saw an opportunity to structure national mourning around public commemorations to foster unity and a sense of national identity. The lecture will examine the common funeral and mourning customs of the time, as well as the decisions around Washington’s funeral that established traditions still evident in modern “state” funerals. Mary V. Thompson is a staff historian at George Washington’s Mount Vernon. She curated the travelling exhibition, “Treasures from Mount Vernon: George Washington Revealed.” Her first book, In the Hands of a Good Providence: Religion in the Life of George Washington, received the Alexandria History Award and the George Washington Memorial Award.

Bestselling Author Holt Reading at Labyrinth

Jim Holt, New York Times bestselling author of the international bestseller Why Does the World Exist? appears Thursday, June 7, at Labyrinth Books, 122 Nassau Street. The 6 p.m. reading is part of the Library Live at Labyrinth series. Holt will discuss and sign copies of his new collection of essays, When Einstein Walked with Gödel: Excursions to the Edge of Thought. According to the Times’ Parul Sehgal, “In these pieces, plucked from the last 20 years, Holt takes on infinity and the infinitesimal, the illusion of time, the birth of eugenics, the so-called new atheism, smart phones, and distraction. It is an elegant history of recent ideas. Part of what makes Holt so exciting is his ability to gather these disciplines under his shingle, to make their knottiest questions not only intelligible but enticing, without sacrificing rigor.” Jim Holt writes about math, science, and philosophy for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street

Princeton Children’s Fund Helps 20 Kids Attend PHS “Under the Stars” Prom

To the Editor: When Princeton High School had their “Under the Stars” prom last month, a group of kids in our community, who otherwise would not have been able to attend, did just that. This was due to the generosity of donors to Princeton Children’s Fund and the hard work and coordination of their secretary Felicia Spitz with the help of Lilliana Morenilla, Debbie Bronfeld, and many others. In total, they collected more than 50 gently used prom dresses (some with tags still on them!) from all over New Jersey; over 20 pairs of shoes, and many accessories. Melissa Urias at Princeton Human Services hosted the boutique at Monument Drive where the dresses and shoes were displayed. The students were able to stop in, try on dresses, and leave with a dress and shoes that they loved. Local businesses Noble Nails and Grit+Polish donated manicures and La Meche and Casa Aziz donated hairstyling and makeup. Additionally, Princeton Tuxedo extended a significantly-reduced rate tuxedo rental fee for the young men. In total, PCF helped 20 students attend the prom this year by assisting with the tickets, dresses, tuxedos, and more. The remaining dresses and shoes were delivered to Monique Jones at John Witherspoon Middle School. Ms. Jones, parent education and community outreach coordinator, has the pop-up boutique in her office in preparation for the 8th grade graduation. Princeton Children’s Fund is currently collecting gently used young men’s dress clothing to round out the offerings for graduation. Felicia summed it up best: “It does take a village and Princeton is a wonderful place!” Thank you PCF! WENDY REGINA-VASQUEZ Audubon Lane

remains on schedule for an October 2 referendum. Citing “cost benefits to public schools and to tax payers,” Cochrane noted that the new plan will reduce expenditures without the need for new construction for administration offices, transportation, and maintenance. Final figures are not yet available for the revised, reduced cost referendum proposal. Cochrane added that the 15 acres could allow flexibility for additional athletic fields, as well as future possibilities of a preschool and a favorable site for another school “20 or 30 years down the road.” The PPS referendum proposal, addressing a need for more space and major infrastructure upgrades, will be reviewed by the NJDOE in the coming weeks. After suggestions and, presumably, approval from the DOE, the Princeton BOE must finalize and approve what goes on the ballot 60 days prior to the October 2 public referendum vote. If voters approve the referendum, construction would begin in the summer of 2019, with completion of the 5/6 school tentatively projected for the fall of 2020, and high school renovations continuing in multiple phases through the summer of 2023. PPS will continue to work on refining plans for the referendum and sharing information with the community including several presentations on dates to be determined. —Donald Gilpin

Westin Hotel. The program featured honored author and motivational speaker L.Y. Marlow, founder of the national domestic violence prevent ion orga n i z at ion Saving Promise. Each year, Womanspace holds this event in memory of the late Princeton mayor and Womanspace founder Barbara Boggs Sigmund. The organization recognizes a person who exemplifies compassion, expertise, and advocacy for domestic violence. In accepting this award, Marlow thanked her stepfather, who helped to raise her following her family’s flight from abuse. During her speech, Marlow called her stepfather to thank him for marrying her mother, who had five children, and for treating the family “like gold,” to which he responded, “I was just doing the right thing.” Marlow also discussed the importance of family in survival and empowerment. “L.Y. Marlow knows all too well how critical it is to build awareness about the epidemic proportions of domestic violence,” said Pat Hart, executive director of Womanspace. “She founded Saving Promise, a national organization with a focus on building awareness, strengthening collaborative prevention efforts and creative strategies to end domestic violence. Womanspace shares Marlow’s vision and hope for the future as we support survivors in their journey toward healing and safety.”

Grim Report on Kaiwen’s Finances Is Disputed by Rider Administration An examination of 2018 first quarter financial results for Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology, the company to which Rider University plans to sell Westminster Choir College, reveals “continued poor performance,” according to a report by an emeritus faculty member of Rider’s College of Business Administration. Citing numerous sources, Gerald Klein, who was a professor of organizational behavior and management, noted a loss for the quarter of 45 to 55 million Yuan, revised upward from an earlier estimate of 25 to 35 million Yuan that Kaiwen had projected. “Kaiwen’s solvency and continued functioning continues to heavily rely on the infusion of outside funds, a position of risk,” he said in his report. “The company continues to be reliant on the patience, forbearance, and liquidity of its investors and creditors, which includes the Chinese government. Kaiwen has a business model which, by their own admission, will take perhaps years to implement.” Challenging the report, Rider spokesperson Kristine A. Brown said, “Rider University is confident in Kaiwen Education’s ability to operate Westminster Choir College and we are encouraged by their commitment to address both operating and capital funding needs over the next five years. We have seen reports negatively characterizing Kaiwen Education’s financial condition and we believe these reports are based on incomplete information. As a result of our due diligence, we reach different conclusions. Both Rider and Kaiwen Education look forward to continued

progress as we move toward a binding agreement in the near future.” Westminster, an internationally-known college of music, was ailing financially when Rider College acquired the school in 1991, enabling the name change to Rider University. The University announced last year that it had selected Kaiwen in a $40 million deal to purchase Westminster, pledging that programs and staff for the college and the affiliated Westminster Conservatory would remain in place. But many members of the faculty, alumni, and students are distrustful of the proposal. Two lawsuits — one filed on behalf of a group of alumni, the other by Princeton Theological Seminary — argue that the sale is in violation of agreements regarding the merger and the original donation of the land, a 23-acre site on Walnut Lane. A group formerly known as the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College, now a nonprofit called The Westminster Foundation, is working to save the school and is opposed to any sale of the campus. The Foundation “advo cates the re-establishment of an independent Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey,” reads a statement. “If the college is sold

to a for-profit enterprise as is planned by Rider University, Westminster’s academic and cultural freedom will be severely threatened, possibly leading to the ultimate loss of this renowned and treasured cultural institution altogether.” The Foundation is cooperating with the Princeton Theological Seminary in the two litigations to block the sale. The Seminary filed a suit in February in the New Jersey Chancery Division. The alumni filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan last June. Joel Phillips, who teaches music theory and composition at Westminster and serves as associate grievance of f icer for R ider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said that the AAUP chapter continues to monitor the financial conditions of Kaiwen. “The long story short is that there is not any fundamental change in our assessment of their financial condition,” he said. “The Rider senior administration continues to prov ide no evidence to the contrary. They simply assert that the company is financially able to do this in the face of all this data that is completely to the contrary.” —Anne Levin

West Windsor Moves Forward With Transit Village Plan

numbers. A settlement was reached, but InterCap pulled out of the deal in 2011 because of financial issues. New Jersey included West Windsor on its list of designated transit villages in 2012. The redevelopment zone is now 320 acres. The Township Council is expected to vote on the issue this month. Their next meeting is Monday, June 11. According to a report issued

last month on the Township’s master plan, the redevelopment plan has yet to be incorporated into West Windsor’s land use plan. The report recommends that the township should “examine the effectiveness of the regulations of the redevelopment districts, and how effective these district regulations have been in encouraging the redevelopment of the Princeton Junction area.” —Anne Levin

The site is to include 800 apartments and 37,000 square feet of retail space. The agreement increases the percentage of affordable housing dwellings in the development from the previously proposed 12.5 percent to 16.5 percent. “AvalonBay is in contract to purchase the property and they have been engaged in a productive dialogue with the mayor since January to find G E T A TA S T E O F T H E a solution that meets their objectives and those of West Windsor,” Township Mayor Hemant Marathe announced in a release.

“American Moderns” at Michener Art Museum

The James A. Michener Ar t Museum presents “American Moderns: The Legacy of Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest,” an exhibi-

tion that showcases the gifts of the Lenfest family and explores their lasting impact on the museum’s legacy. “American Moderns” will be on view through October 21. “In creating this exhibition, we wanted to draw attention not only to the generosity of remarkable collectors such as the Lenfests, but also to the lasting contributions of artists in this region to the evolution of 20th-century art,” said Louise Feder, curator of the exhibit. “We felt it was particularly appropriate to do so by mounting this special exhibition in the Michener’s 30th anniversary year.” A significant gift of 33 works from Gerry and Marg uer ite L enfes t enabled the Michener Art Museum to highlight the significant contributions to the development of modern art as seen through the prism of the Delaware Valley region. Artists such as Charles Frederick Ramsey, Louis Stone, Charles Evans, Lloyd Ney, and Charles Rosen were actively engaged in the artistic dialogue that resulted in major shifts in American art at mid-century. Influenced by the innovative achievements of t he Europ e an avantgarde, these painters experimented with such modernist trends as Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, Biomorphism, Synchromism, Precisionism, and Neo-Plasticism. Along with the exhibition, the Michener Art Museum will present a series of programs including a gallery talk by Curator Louise Feder on June 7 at 3 p.m. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa. 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. For more information, call (215) 340-9800 or visit www.michenerart museum.org.

On D-Day It’s All About Character

s soon as news of the Normandy invasion reached the office of baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the games scheduled for June 6, 1944 were cancelled. According to mlb. com, such a thing had happened only once before, on the day President Warren G. Harding died on August 2, 1923. Go figure: this is the man who until recently was considered by many to be the worst American president. And did you know that future Yankee Hall of Famer Yogi Berra was a Seaman Second class in a rocket boat stationed off the coast of Normandy on D-Day providing fire support for the invasion? Interviewed by Keith Olbermann on June 6, 2004, Yogi recalled, “Well, being a young guy [he had just turned 19], I thought it was like the Fourth of July, to tell you the truth. I said, ‘Boy, it looks pretty, all the planes coming over.’ And I was looking out and my officer said, ‘you better get your head down in here, if you want it on.’“ Of all the players in the game who could have been in that historic place at that historic hour, somehow it had to be Yogi. Why is it so easy to love that man? After making the obvious comments about his face (Yogi said it best himself: “I never saw anyone hit with his face”), the first thing that comes to mind is that he’s a character. Not like a character in a book or a film, but the opposite of snob: someone who can make you smile, surprise you, get your attention. When I grew up there was the damned Yankee stereotype and then there was Yogi, who was to the Bronx Bombers as Ringo was to the Beatles. The Nice Guy Next Door D-Day for the FX series The Americans was last Wednesday. No need to flash a spoiler alert about the final confrontation the show has been heading for ever since the pilot episode in which the FBI agentnext-door Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) sneaks into his new neighbors’ garage on a hunch that their car might be the one involved in the abduction of a Soviet defector. While the “Americans” of the title are Stan’s neighbors the Jennings, Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell), and their children Paige (Holly Taylor) and Henry (Keidrich Sellati), Stan is the real thing, a capital “A” American, a loyal friend, and strange as it may seem, the show’s true hero. Through all six seasons he’s been the plotline’s foil, the hunter whose prey is right under his nose, a situation resembling, as others have noted, that of Walter White’s FBI agent brother-in-law in Breaking Bad. But Stan is something else. He’s big, a man with stature and a face that would fit on Mt. Rushmore. Above all, he’s the ultimate Nice Guy. He likes people, not necessarily a qualification in his line of work. The standard Hollywood FBI agent is the one Hannibal Lecter dines on with “some fava beans and a nice chianti” in The Silence of the Lambs. As lived by Noah Emmerich, Stan can appear at once formidable

and hapless. At the end, there he stands, stunned, careworn, benighted, bereft, yet towering in defeat. In The Americans’ defining moment, the whole enterprise sits on his shoulders. Rhys and Russell, like their characters, are extraordinary actors who have appeared before us for six years in a dizzying dazzling array of disguises. Stan’s big craggy face endures, the image of the hard truth the series ends on. Talking about his years with The Americans, Emmerich says, “Acting is an odd life in terms of that continuity and consistency and predictability. I’ve never had it. Now I’ve had it for these past six years, and it’s been really nice. I’ve acclimated to seeing the same people every October and having the semblance of a family, so it’s really hard to say good-bye to these people …. That intimacy, it’s a special environment.” That’s Stan speaking (“it’s been really nice”). Very much a part of the “family” is his KGB rival in love and war

times of the witty heroics of Diana Rigg’s swashbuckling Emma Peel in the great sixties show The Avengers. But by the time Killing Eve arrives at the moment of truth we’ve been waiting for, where the disarmingly human Eve (a true character in the Yogi Berra tradition) and the devilishly cute Villanelle land side by side on the same bed, everything swerves off course, frenzy rules, and the two star-crossed lovers lose definition, becoming like figures swept up with gobs of blood-red paint in a gory action painting. Perhaps the “oopswe’re-on-for-a-second-season” element explains the hysterical denouement. The Quest Until we struck gold in A French Village (Un village français), which I previewed in a previous column, my wife and I had tried and given up on Seven Hours, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Collateral, and Unforgotten, the last two

Oleg (Costa Ronin), who can’t help liking and respecting him. As with Yogi, who cannot like Stan? In fact, Oleg and Stan are the closest thing to a true romance in the series, whispering in one another’s ears side by side in their last scene, in Oleg’s cell. At the moment, the critical consensus is that the finale of The Americans is a triumph worthy of a great series. After the long slog through the later seasons, however, the question is whether the series is worthy of the finale. The actors more than earned it, but did the writers? One of the major flaws of the concluding season is that Elizabeth spends so much of her time killing people in a discredited cause. Action Painting Now we’ve just finished and mostly enjoyed the first season of BBC America’s Killing Eve, where the life or death interplay of rogue MI-5 agent Eve (Sandra Oh) and the charming psychopath who calls herself Villanelle (Jody Comer) is infectious, the blood flows like wine, and clever lines abound, giving the show its giddy charm. The repartee reminded me at

particularly disappointing because we were hoping they would give Nicola Walker something worthy of her talent. If you’ve seen her in River, Last Tango in Halifax, and as Ruth in MI5, you know what we were looking for. She’s the essence of character. Give her the right part, and “everything is illuminated.” We had the advantage of watching the seven seasons of A French Village, 19401945, from occupation to liberation, within a span of about two weeks. Even with the all-but-predictable falling off in the last two abbreviated post-liberation seasons (too many issues to resolve in too little time), of all the great series we’ve seen in the 21st century, this is the one that comes the closest to the television equivalent of literature. And of all the forces that make it great — writing, directing, music, cinematography — character is the key, the core, the Nicola Walker illumination. Again, thinking back to Walker’s character in MI-5, you know she’s at risk, you know for all her spirit and intelligence and inner beauty that she (like most of

her colleagues) may die violently, and you want to close your eyes and look away when you see it coming. Her Ruth was that real — that precious. Now imagine at least a dozen characters in one show who have the same value, the same vivid reality, whose deaths or near-death moments leave you feeling awe, in a hush, watching, waiting, dreading. It’s the sense of fleshand-blood humanity under the gun that makes A Village in France so special a viewing experience. In the fictional town of Villeneuve characters gaze into one another’s eyes on the point of death, whether it’s two brothers who never got along, or a couple who are falling in love even at the moment one has been ordered to kill the other, or a communist and a capitalist collaborator about to die in front of a firing squad exchanging a look and sharing an endgame laugh together because both have refused the last rites and sent the priest packing. Now that I think of it, there’s no room for nice guys like Stan or characters like Yogi in Villeneuve, not under circumstances so grim. It’s actually preferable to find these qualities in unlikely people like the driven but ver y human police chief Jean Marchetti (Nicholas Gob) who is enchanted by a Jewish Scheherazade, sends her mother to a death camp, guns down a German officer to save her and her baby (his child), and ends up casually committing the most unspeakable act in the series. Then there’s Heinrich Müller (Richard Sammel), who in the first two seasons seems perfectly cast as the blond, blue-eyed reptillian Gestapo officer, a morphine addict who uses burning cigarettes as instruments of torture. In time Müller transcends the stereotype and becomes a fascinating character. When asked what he liked best about A French Village, Sammel said, “It’s having the time to tell a man’s story and the time to reflect on it and the time to grow with it. That’s the invention and the benefit of a series, anyhow. You find a lost treasure and that lost treasure in TV or cinema is time. Normally, you tell a man or wife’s or couple’s story in an hour and a half. Here, we have seven years.” Playing the Game fter Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt asking whether he thought there should be a 1942 season. Roosevelt’s response has come to be known as the “Green Light Letter,” in which the president said that baseball must continue for “the morale of the nation.” The same is truer than ever today. Baseball quotes are from mlb.com; the Stan Beeman quote from an Entertainment Weekly interview, Richard Sammel’s from a conversation on YouTube. —Stuart Mitchner

Music and Theater Central Jersey Choral Society Performs Dvořák’s “Requiem”

He explored humanity’s relationship with death and evoked a sense of foreboding w it h a f ive -note theme that permeates the work. If you enjoy the drama that is often present in a requiem, Dvořák’s Requiem is a piece you must experience.” The performance will feature Erica Miller, soprano; Ema Mitrovic, alto; Joseph Mayon, tenor; and Grant Mech, bass. CJCS will present this program on Saturday, June 16 at 7 p.m. at the Princeton Meadow Event Center, 545 Meadow Road, Princeton. Tickets for performances are $20 in advance online and $25 at the door.

Finger-style blues guitarist Marc Black will perform popular songs of the 1950s and ’60s at the Plainsboro Public Library on Saturday, June 9, at 2 p.m. The NY Blues Hall of Fame inductee, who created his “Sing Along to History” program a few years ago, says, “People who lived through these decades seem to have a real hunger for this music. They have experienced history reflected in music, but sometimes they don’t realize how deep the songs are in them.” He mentions the McCarthy era, the Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, Sputnik, the advent of television and technolog y: all “cultural anxieties” that appear in popular music. His presentation will include storytelling and commentary, as well as playing and singing. He describes the concert as “storytelling, singing, and laughter.” The audience will sing along with songs as diverse as “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” by artists ranging from Gene

These days, Black performs regionally and on the road. His work is mostly solo, but he also performs regularly w ith his band, which he describes as “improv rock with a strong jazz and folk tinge.” In addition to the show he will perform at the library, he has a band concert program “Life, One Song at a Time.” He is also known for his songs of social commentary, including “Sing for the Silenced” and “No Fracking Way.” The latter has been sung at rallies across the country and as far away as South Africa, Ireland, and Australia.

CHRISTIAN SANDS AT MCCARTER: On June 14 at 8 p.m., pianist Christian Sands performs at McCarter Theatre as part of McCarter’s Jazz in June Festival. Christian Sands is already an emerging force with five Grammy nominations at age 28. His stylistic range includes everything from stride piano and swing to bebop, progressive jazz, fusion, Brazilian, and Afro-Cuban. After being mentored by bassist Christian McBride, with whom he toured for six years with his Insight Straight band, Sands struck gold on his own in 2016 with release of his first trio CD, “Reach,” which spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard Jazz Charts. Sands started playing the piano at the age of 4 (and professionally at 10) and expresses himself through an extensive vocabulary of patterns, textures, and structures, which The New York Times called “groovedrenched, gospelly, and smartly plotted — a balance of physical body and electric charge”. Recently, he has been selected to supervise the recording legacy of Erroll Garner, succeeding the late Gerri Allen, and will return to McCarter in April 2019 as music director of the Monterey Jazz Festival On Tour ensemble.

The third installment of Dwayne Dunlevy’s standup comedy series will take place at the Music Mountain Theatre in Lamber t ville. “The ‘C’ is for comedy,” says Dwayne, a twinkle in his eye. “Since it’s a show for adults, it’s nice to know you can’t go too far. Then, it’s all up to God anyway.” Wr iter and Producer Dwayne Dunlevy created the show as a way to bring live theater in the form of standup comedy back to the artist town. Dunlevy’s own standup career began in Brooklyn, circa 1995, where he won an award for his first ever stand-up routine in front of a live audience at Pratt University. From there it was steady experience by fire at comedy clubs in New York and Philadelphia for Dunlevy who now, two decades later, performs at public and private events throughout the tri-state area. On Saturday, July 28 Dunlevy will reprise “The ‘C’ Word” as emcee and one of three acts to perform at Music Mountain The atre. Tickets may be purchased at Eventbrite or by visiting www.dwayned.biz. The doors open at 7:30 p.m. and refreshments will be available in the lobby. The show starts promptly at 8 p.m. Music Mountain Theatre has ample parking and handicap accessible entrances and exits.

Princeton Summer Theater Announces 2018 Season

Princeton Summer Theater (PST) has announced performances of four pieces, running from June 21 through August 19 at the Hamilton Murray Theater on Princeton University’s campus. T h is su m mer’s s eas on explores self-discovery, as seen through critical turning points in characters’ lives. Whether facing graduation, middle age, an unexpected diagnosis, or a scandal, the challenges these characters face test them and help each one find out what truly matters. With four takes on responding to adversity and change, these plays aim to push viewers to closely examine their lives, to dream big, and to fight for those we care about. Tick, Tick...Boom! by Jonathan Larson, June 2124, June 27-July 1, and July 5-8, Directed by Victoria Davidjohn. From the mind behind Rent, Tick, Tick…Boom! tells the autobiographical story of a composer searching for his big break. Fueled by Jonathan Larson’s rock and pop score, this intimate show pulls back the curtain on the man whose breakthrough would change American musical theater forever in an inspiring appeal to follow your dreams. Uncommon Women and Others, by Wendy Wasserstein, July 12-15 and July 18-22, Directed by Daniel Krane. Wendy Wasserstein’s debut play follows a group of

second-wave feminism as they make new friendships, fall in and out of love, and imagine a brighter future for themselves. This comedy tackles what it means to dare to be an Uncommon Woman in a world that constantly tells women to accept less. The Children’s Hour, by Lillian Hellman, July 26-29 and August 1-5, Directed by Maeli Goren. In The Children’s Hour, one child’s lie throws a girls’ boarding school into chaos. This fiery American classic by Lillian Hellman (The Little Foxes) depicts a world where rules are rigid, rumors fly faster than truth, and the hint of scandal is enough to bring two schoolteachers’ lives crashing down. The Baltimore Waltz, by Paula Vogel, August 9-12 and August 15-19, Directed by Nico Krell. The Baltimore Waltz follows Anna and Carl through Europe on a film-noir inspired trip, filled with mysterious detectives, devious doctors, and alluring men as they search for a cure for Anna’s disease. This comedic fantasy, written by Paula Vogel in response to the AIDS crisis, is a fierce portrait of two siblings’ love and a call to live life to the fullest. Performances are Thursday- Saturday at 8 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m., and select Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Subscribe to the full season for $79 and save 30 percent off of single ticket prices, or subscribe to three shows for $65. Visit www. princetonsummertheater. org, or call (732) 997-0205 for details about purchasing subscriber and single tickets, as well as information on our special children’s show, show times, directions, and parking. All performances take place in the air-conditioned, newly refurbished Murray-Dodge Hall on the Princeton University Campus.

The Seeing Eye Comes to Princeton

L a s t We e ke n d d u r i n g Princeton University Reunions, the Class of ’88 celebrated its 30th reunion. As its community service project, it chose to observe 2018, the Year of the Dog, by supporting service dogs in general and The Seeing Eye, in Morristown, in particular. As the original guide dog school in the U.S., The Seeing Eye breeds, raises, and trains dogs to help people who are blind or visually impaired. In addition to training dogs, The Seeing Eye carefully matches dogs with people in need to form partnerships that make it possible for those who are visually impaired to lead productive and fulfilling lives. As its ser v ice project, about 20 members of Princeton’s Class of ’88 visited The Seeing Eye on Thursday, May 31 to see the facility first hand, take part in a public tour, meet with Jim Kutsch, The Seeing Eye’s president and CEO, and do some hands-on work by helping The Seeing Eye’s facilities staff do some gardening and beautification. In return, The Seeing Eye

visited Princeton on Friday, June 1. Don MacGowan, a volunteer member of the Seeing Eye’s outreach team, and Kathy Murray, a Seeing Eye graduate, and her guide dog, Mac, gave a presentation explaining the program in detail. Camden Olson, a junior at Princeton, also explained how dogs can assist people with diabetes. Olson has trained Koa, her comfort retriever ser vice dog, to recognize when a person’s blood sugar level becomes too high or too low, and to alert them by tapping with a paw. A diabetes alert dog can make a person aware that they need to address a blood sugar irregularity (by eating something or by injecting insulin), so as to remain stable. While The Seeing Eye’s work is well established and tried-and-true, training dogs to perform diabetes-alert functions is relatively new. The Class of ’88 raised over $5,000 to donate to The Seeing Eye. As a result, the class will choose a name for a Seeing Eye puppy, and will follow its progress through puppy raising, training, matching, and placement with someone who is in need of a dependable partner to guide him or her through a meaningful life together.

EDA President Visits Homestead’s Warehouse

When husband-and-wife Ron and Kristin Menapace opened their store on Palmer Square six years ago, their focus was on furniture. Today, Homestead Princeton, which sells American-influenced crafts and eclectic home furnishings, is a mainstay in town. T he bus i ne s s recent ly closed on an M &T Bank loan that included a participation from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA). The loan supported the purchase of a warehouse in which Home-

stead Princeton had been leasing space to accommodate overflow inventory. As the owner of the property, the business will now be able to utilize an additional 6,000 square feet of warehouse and office space. EDA President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Lizura visited Homestead Princeton’s warehouse in Blawenburg on May 31, to highlight resources available to small businesses throughout New Jersey. He was joined by Vincent F. Moretti, M&T Bank’s vice president, senior relationship manager. ———

State Agriculture Department Has New Jersey Fresh Website

New Jer s ey S e cre t ar y of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher has announced the debut of a new Jersey Fresh website. One of the website’s features is a search function to allow customers to find where the closest Jersey Fresh produce is available. “This website is an easyto-use tool for our Jersey Fresh customers,” Fisher said. “It allows shoppers to find out how close they are to farm markets that sell Jersey Fresh products. While making the shopping experience easier for our longtime Jersey Fresh customers, we also believe it will help attract new consumers with its user-friendly features.” The search feature targets farms within a specific area, as well as specific types of produce. The search function also includes where to find wineries, breweries and distilleries as well as agritourism activities. Established in 1984 by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the Jersey Fresh logo was designed to inform consumers which fruits and vegetables were grown in the Garden State. The Jersey Fresh logo guarantees the produce was grown in New Jersey. The state grows more than 100 different varieties of fruits, vegetables and herbs. To access the website, visit www.FindJerseyFresh.com.

School Matters PHS 101: Fund Receives $85,600

The 101: Fund, which provides scholarships to Princeton High School (PHS) graduates with financial need, has received a donation of $85,600 from Princeton University in accordance with a 2016 agreement. Because the University provides grants to support the full financial need of all students it enrolls, the funds donated to 101: Fund will be used to support PHS graduates attending colleges other than the University. “We are very grateful that Princeton University chose to earmark the 101: Fund as a recipient of these contributions to the community,” said 101: Fund President Elizabeth Hamblet. “It is fitting that they would support a local organization that provides assistance to PHS graduates for post-secondary education, given the University’s commitment to increasing access to higher education for first-generation students and students with limited financial resources.” The 101: Fund will hold its annual awards ceremony on Thursday, June 14 at PHS to honor graduates who have been awarded 101: Fund scholarships to attend college in September. Founded in 1970, 101: has provided more than $1 million in aid to PHS seniors over the last four decades.

Princeton Rec Department Camps Welcome Area Students

Princeton Children’s Fund (PCF), Princeton Recreation Department (PRD), and Send Hunger Packing Princeton (SHUPP) are teaming up to support about 175 Princeton public school students who are attending PRD summer camps. “Because of the generosity of our donors and our partnership with the Princeton Recreation Department, we are able to provide an opportunity for our students to attend camp and engage in active and creative programs, while giving their parents full-day childcare,” said PCF Board Executive Committee Secretary Felicia Spitz. “The tangible results of this partnership are directly in line with the Recreation Department’s mission of providing fun and enriching recreational activities that are accessible to all Princeton families,” said PRD Executive Director Ben Stentz. SHUPP, in conjunction with a grant from the United Way of Mercer County, is “happy to be able to provide lunches to all of the PCF-sponsored students attending the recreation summer camp programs, as well as feeding kids in the Jump Start program and at the Princeton Nursery School,” said SHUPP board member Wendy Vasquez.

On their way home, Asha’s self-driving car is hacked and forced to drive to a seedy side of town where it crashes. The couple is then attacked by a sadistic gang that murders Asha and leaves Grey a crippled quadriplegic. When Eron learns of Grey’s misfortune, he offers the grieving widower an opportunity to walk again. Eron’s crew will implant Stem ( Simon Maiden), one of their AI computer chips in his spinal cord that will be able to talk to Grey. T he operat ion t rans forms Grey from a bed-ridden cripple into a superhuman vigilante who sets out to track down and punish the gang of muggers in a bloody reign of terror. However, to accomplish this, he has to temporarily allow Stem to take charge. The plot thickens when Stem seems reluctant to return control of the body to Grey. Could Stem be attempting to wrest complete control of Grey’s body permanently? And what are Stem’s future plans for Grey’s body?

The Terra Momo Restuarant Group The Terra Momo Restaurant Group was formed by Raoul and Carlo Momo, who were originally inspired by their parents, Raul and Teresa Momo, who opened an Italian specialty food store in the mid 1970s. In 1982, the Group opened their first restaurant, Teresa II, in New Brunswick, eventually expanding their operations to include five dining concepts across multiple cultures: Teresa Caffé, Mediterra, Terra Momo Bread Company, Eno Terra, and its newest restaurant, Albariño – a Spanishinspired Tapas | Wine bar. Our bakery supplies all of our restaurants with freshly baked bread daily. Whenever possible, we provide our restaurants with locally sourced produce from the farms in the area, including our own Canal Farm located in Kingston, N.J. W hile the f lavors and themes vary — from Italian to Spanish to Mediterranean — they all share the Terra Momo vision of quality, creativity, and exceptional service. Each setting has an individual sense of place. You can experience this, in the colors of our custom-designed interiors, the smell of our artisan bread, the taste of locally grown produce, and the selection of carefully chosen wines. The sounds of our music, and the care our staff provides, create a vibrant setting for great memories with

family and friends. The Terra Momo Group continues to offer dining experiences with the common theme of earth, food, wine, and an enjoyment of life. Eno Terra 4484 Route 27, Kingston Eno Terra is founded on the principle of the regionalism and the seasonality of what our local farmers grow, what our three-season harvest from our Eno Terra Canal Farm produces, what our fishermen catch, and the grass-fed beef and antibiotic-free poultry our producers offer. The two-floor restaurant in a completely renovated turn of the century farmhouse is the perfect location to consider us for your party, wedding anniversary, shower, rehearsal, or corporate event. Contact Lilly Flanagan: events. enoterra@terramomo.com.

Every detail from the olive oil, to the wine, from the basil to the artwork, is in keeping with our mother’s sensibility; that every guest feels that “this visit” is the best one yet. Teresa Caffé is the perfect destination to connect with family and friends, sip Italian wines, dine al fresco on a warm summer evening, and experience authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Princeton. Terra Momo Bread Company 74 Witherspoon Street, Princeton Denis and Christine are the artists behind the flavors and shapes of the artisan bread, and pastry, and the warm and welcoming hospitality you feel upon entering the shop; where you can also take home a variety of olive oils (for bread dipping), toasted flatbreads, and full-bodied

Albariño Tapas | Wine Bar 508 Broad Street, Shrewsbury At the core of Terra Momo’s culinary philosophy is a deep appreciation for a “taste of place.” We believe that food should speak eloquently of its provenance — its soil, its climate, and the people who nurture it.

Selection of Handcrafted Sterling Silver Is Specialty of Downtown Village Silver Shop

“W

e have one of the largest s e l e c t i o n s of handcrafted sterling silver on the East Coast, and we have survived in the Princeton downtown for 42 years! This has been such a good location with lots of traffic and activity.”

IT’S NEW To Us

Maria Laraia, owner of Village Silver at 39 Witherspoon Street, is justly proud of her store’s longevity. A mainstay on the Princeton shopping scene, it is known for its outstanding sterling silver and its array of jewelry created by the finest artisans. “It’s a family business,” adds Laraia. “My mother began it in Connecticut, where we had our first store. Now, we attract customers from all over New Jersey and beyond. There are many regulars who have been with us over the years. “We have silver from 300 different artisans from all over the world — the U.S., Italy, Mexico, Bali, India, Nepal, and Tibet, and also authentic Native American silver jewelry.” Delicate to Dramatic Customers will find a large selection of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and pins. Ninety-five percent of

the merchandise is sterling silver. There are styles for every taste: from delicate to dramatic, and simple elegance to sleek sophistication. The variety of designs reflects creative imagination. “The ‘Tree of Life’ theme is very popular in pendants and bracelets,” explains s t o r e m a n a g e r Va l e r i e White. “The ‘Ginko Tree’ is another favorite theme, and feathers also have meaning. They evoke wisdom, spiritual belief, and higher celestial power.” Unique gifts for every occasion are a specialty of Village Silver. With the helpful and knowledgeable assistance of Maria Laraia and Valerie White, you will find the perfect remembrance for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, Mother’s and Father’s Day, graduation, etc. “Charm bracelets are a highlight,” reports Laraia. “We have a special charm program, including charms for bracelets and necklaces, and we can special order them for you.” Gifts for men, including silver chains, ID bracelets, belt buckles, and money clips are all available, and will be welcome gifts for dad on Father’s Day. “We have a lot of unisex items,” points out Laraia. “These are popular with men and women, and all ages. We also offer free gift wrap, free shipping, and in addition, we can email pho-

tos of jewelry to people. And now, we can also offer repair and restringing. This really differentiates us from other places.” Wide Following Village Silver’s wide following of customers not only appreciate these services, but also the personal attention and knowledgeable help the store has always offered. “The focus of our clientele has been in Princeton, but customers are really from all over,” says Laraia. “A lot of people come when their children are students at Princeton, and they remain as customers over the years. Alumni come in during the reunions too. We look forward to seeing all of them. “I enjoy all of our wonderful customers. We know many of them by their first names. They have become friends, and we know their families. They really appreciate the quality and uniqueness of our special silver.” There certainly is widespread praise for the quality of the items and service at this respected store. “I love Village Silver,” notes one longtime customer. “I always find a perfect gift for someone, and also something special for myself! I have introduced my friends to the store, too, and they tell other friends, so there is a constant network of people who appreciate Village Silver. “I also have friends who have moved away, and they

always stop in at Village Silver to find something new when they are in town.” No gift has been more valued over time than jewelry. It can be passed down as an heirloom in a family and thus it bestows continuity and meaning over the years. “Jewelr y is s o i mp ortant because it is eternal,” obser ves W hite. “Clot h ing comes and goes. Both clothes and jewelry have st yle and make you feel good, but jewelry lasts forever. And, of course, it can be passed on to another generation. Sterling is special because it is very flattering for most skin tones. It is also versatile in design, and more affordable than 14 karat gold.” She adds that helping customers with their jewelry choices is a pleasure for her, and another important aspect of Village Silver’s personal service. Budget and Style “I love selling our wonderful jewelry, and I love helping people solve problems. They come in, and many want something special for a particular event, but they aren’t sure what to get. We can find something that suits their budget and style. They are so happy that we’ve been able to help them.” Customers also appreciate the store’s wide price range, she points out. “We have something for all pocketbooks, and this is very important.” Having been a major part of the Princeton downtown for so many years is very meaningful to Maria Laraia.

ONE-OF-A-KIND: “Village Silver has a long-standing reputation in the community. People know we have the finest one-of-akind merchandise that is truly unique. In addition, we offer the most attentive and helpful customer service.” Valerie White, manager of Village Silver on Witherspoon Street, is shown by a display of the store’s selection of sterling silver. “We are so proud that we have been able to be here and continue to offer our silver to customers. We are also happy that we attract young people and introduce them to our selection. We also love being able to educate them about the quality and workmanship of our unique pieces. “This store has a tradition that is similar to stores from before. We recognize you when you come in. We have a welcoming atmosphere,

with special attention and service. “We are definitely here to stay! We look forward to offering the creations of new designers to all our customers. We also always want to be a part of this special community.” Village Silver is open Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday noon to 5. (609) 924-5990.

PU Men’s Lightweights Just Miss IRA Crown As Junior Hogan Provides Heart, Consistency

t was a daily reminder for Danny Hogan and Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity eight of the main obstacle that stood between them and a national title. Having lost twice to Columbia for its only two defeats of the spring, the boat had its sights firmly set defeating Columbia when the two crews met at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta. “We were excited in the last three weeks,” said junior Hogan, a native of Lafayette, Calif. “We had their shirt hanging up in our locker room, so it was all eyes on them.” In the grand final last Sunday morning on a choppy Mercer Lake, the Tigers didn’t have to look far to see their rival as the Tigers were in lane two and the Lions occupied lane three. “We really wanted to work on our first 750 meters,” said Hogan. “What had been happening in the previous races is they would move out a length or so. We have really been working on maintaining our speed as we shifted into our normal base rhythm. We did a great job of that today.” Showing its speed, Princeton pulled even with Columbia in the homestretch of the race, but got nosed out at

the finish line as the Lions came in at 6:18.782 over the 2,000-meter course with the Tigers posting a time of 6:19.514. “Being able to push it into a 0.7 second difference, we put it all out there,” said Hogan. “I think if we had 100 or so more meters, we could have pulled it out. Marty [Princeton head coach Marty Crotty] said we just ran out of lake. It is unfortunate, that happens, but we are really happy with our performance and our drive for next year. This is our closest race that we have had against them. These conditions were pretty similar to what we had at sprints with the big head wins. We really improved in these last three weeks.” In Hogan’s view, the Tigers have been showing improvement throughout the spring. “We have been coming together this whole season; we were really brothers and one sister (freshman coxswain Sydney Edwards) out there,” said Hogan. “Last year coming in fifth was a really unsuccessful season. We really wanted to focus on changing our mindset as we went in and I think we accomplished that 100 percent.” The change in attitude centered on developing greater mental toughness. “Basically

Marty would never give us anything; if there is pieces going into a headwind and a hard workout, he just says turn it around, we are going to be doing this piece into a headwind,” said Hogan. “We ate it up. It was breakfast of champions and everyday we would take a big bite, being tough.”’ Princeton head coach Crotty is proud of how his rowers kept improving on a weekly basis. “There is a trajectory to what they are doing,” said Crotty. “It was just another step in that. They get bet-

ter every week. We didn’t go backwards, not one week since February, so that is pretty special.” While Crotty badly wanted his top boat to win a national title, he saw the performance on Sunday as another step forward. “At the 1,000-meter mark, it was better than I expected,” said Crotty. “That said, Columbia dug in, hats off to them. I know how fast we can be in the last 1,000. Whatever they were doing to hold us off was something pretty good.” Reflecting on the season overall, Crotty credited the varsity eight with doing a lot of good things. “They can be proud of the race that they had, given

that it is probably their best race,” said Crotty. “They can be proud of the season that they had because as a program you want to know that you got better and this year they did that, for sure.” In Crotty’s view, Hogan has been a linchpin for the program. “He is so resolute; not only has he not missed a practice, he hasn’t had a bad practice in three years,” said Crotty. “He is one of the most consistent guys I ever trained or worked with. He was elected captain for next year. He is the backbone of our team, he is the heart and soul. You never have to wonder ‘is Danny having a bad day’ or ‘what is Danny

thinking,’ he is just Danny. He is a rock. We are going to build on that; those guys are already thinking about that next step.” Hogan, for his part, is already thinking about what he can do to be even better in his senior campaign. “I have been really confident and happy with my progress,” said Hogan, who rowed from the three seat this season. “Last year I kind of stalled out a bit. This year I have been improving all through the season with my ERG (ergometer) scores. I have been really satisfied with that. I am excited to get stronger in the summer and keep it working towards next year.” —Bill Alden

Senior Coxswain Mirabella Relishes the Ride As PU Women’s Lightweights Take 3rd at IRAs Megan Mirabella was hoarse but happy after piloting the Princeton University women’s lightweight varsity eight to a third place finish at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta last Sunday at Mercer Lake. “Working with Paul [Princeton head coach Paul Rassam], we are able to use the time between sprints and IRAs really well,” said a raspy Mirabella, a senior coxswain from North Wales, Pa. “We were really excited to show our improvements and really battle them a lot closer than last year.” Mirabella’s cox skills were tested as she had to guide the top boat through tough conditions as a howling head wind and rough water greeted the rowers on Sunday morning. “We got out there and encountered a lot more choppy water than yesterday, which did require a little more attention to technical focus,” said Mirabella, reflecting on a race which saw Stanford finish first in 7:12.373

with Boston University next in 7:17.616 and Princeton clocking a time of 7:20.543 in earning bronze. “We were able to use the warmup loop and get some practice with starts in the headwind and the chop. By the time we were on the course it had settled down a little bit and we were able to just really respond pretty well to the conditions and keep grinding it out.” It was important for the Tigers to grind out a medal at the IRA regatta for a second straight year. “Last year was our first medal in six years. To be able to top that right off with another one with a tighter finish was great,” said Mirabella, whose boat had lost to Stanford by 12.8 seconds in a regular season meeting on March 31. “To be seats away from silver and seats away from gold gives us high hopes.” Mirabella has enjoyed her four years in the cox seat. “I feel so lucky to have gotten to be on this team and to row with the girls I have and

with Paul as my coach,” said Mirabella. “I have learned so much and have been able to grow so much being a coxswain on this team. In my sophomore year, we had a really rough rebuilding year. So coming out of that and being able to get two medals in a row, we were able to push through that and build ourselves up to now with a finish with the tightest margins we have had on both of those crews in a while.” Although her Princeton career is finished, Mirabella will be keeping an eye on the Tiger crew. “I am going to really miss this team and this program,” said Mirabella, who will be working as a health care consultant in New York City after graduation. “I am so happy for them and so excited to see what they do next year, just given the way we ended it this year.” —Bill Alden

Displaying Guts, Grit After Hasty Boat Repair, PU Men’s Heavyweights Take 5th in IRA Final It became a nightmare scenario for the Princeton University men’s heavyweight varsity eight as it warmed up for the grand final at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta last Sunday morning. An oar on the Princeton boat got caught in the choppy water on Mercer Lake and snapped back, breaking a stay on the boat. After a repair made on the water and a hasty warmup during a five-minute delay in the 7:30 a.m. starting time, Princeton rowed to the starting line and took off. While the Tigers fell short of a national title as they placed fifth in a race won by Yale, Princeton head coach Greg Hughes was impressed by his boat’s grit. “They knew they were going to have figure this one out,” said Hughes, whose b o at p o s te d a t i m e of 6:11.161 over the 2,000-meter course just over two seconds behind third place California (6:08.911) and 9.5 seconds behind winner Yale (6:01.648). “It was definitely a challenge but it didn’t faze them. It speaks a lot of those guys and their resiliency. It was a great, gutsy race; they rowed an awesome piece. It was our best piece of the year. To finish in front of Brown was great and to be

in that kind of a battle with Harvard squeaking it out at the line.” The second varsity eight also advanced to the grand final but struggled in the choppy water, placing sixth in a race won by Washington. “That was obv iously a tough way to finish a really strong and positive season,” said Hughes. “There are a lot of youngsters in there, so lessons learned to be in their first national championship and see that level. It was a wakeup call for them in the heats that, as much as we talked about that level of racing stepping up even from the sprints, it caught them off guard. They rebounded really well for their semifinal and did a nice job in that and made some good positive steps. Sunday was a tough day, it wasn’t their best and that is racing.” After a tough day in the semis where it took forth and failed to advance to grand final, the third varsity eight rebounded to win the petit final on Sunday and finished seventh overall. “Saturday was a burner of a semi, that is always tough and they came up short,” said Hughes. “To rally and have a strong race on Sunday, that is a race for pride and they did

an awesome job. By then the conditions were really challenging. It was a 7:10 race so it was 1:20 slower that their race the day before. It was a very different scenario. That takes some real focus and commitment so that was good to see.” Hughes saw a committed effor t from his rowers throughout the spring. “Overall it was a really strong, positive year with the results for the full squad through the regular season,” said Hughes. “The Sprints was a standout. I feel like we really developed well through that. We didn’t carry it quite the way through the IRA as we had all hoped. We will go back and take a look at that. There is lots we can learn there and put to good use next year.” In order to carry things through to the end, the team’s returning rowers will need to follow the example set by this year’s seniors. “There were some real standouts at the varsity end, the top end, but across the board they were great,” said Hughes in assessing the program’s Class of 2018. “It was impressive leadership from this group and they were just fighters. This junior class will have some shoes to fill. I think they are up to the task, but we will have work to do. We are going to have to get to work, there is no way around it.” —Bill Alden

Women’s soccer midfielder Vanessa Gregoire and football quarterback Chad Kanoff produced recordbreaking campaigns last fall as they culminated their Princeton Universit y careers. Gregoire and Kanoff were both named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year in their respective sports. Last Thursday, the pair of standouts won the two major awards when the Princeton University Department of Athletics held its Gary Walters ‘67 Princeton Varsity Club Awards Banquet at Jadwin Gym. Gregoire earned the C. Otto von Kienbusch Award as t he O uts tand ing S e nior Female Athlete, while Kanoff received the William Winston Roper Trophy as the Outstanding Senior Male Athlete. For Gregoire, an anthropology major from Beaconsfield, Quebec, the award capped an incredible year that saw her help lead the Tigers to the Ivy League championship and to the NCA A quar ter finals this past fall, upsetting secondranked and 22-time NCAA champion North Carolina along the way. The Ivy League’s coaches recognized Gregoire’s playmaking abilities in the midfield in awarding her the Ivy Offensive Player of the Year award. Her league-best eight assists this past season gave her 27 for her career, breaking a Princeton record co-held by former teammate Lauren Lazo ‘15 and fellow Canadian national team player Diana Matheson ‘08. Beyond setting up goals, Gregoire scored a few of her own during the 2017 campaign, doing so in three consecutive Ivy League games as the Tigers rebounded from a loss to Columbia to overtake the Lions for the Ivy title. Gregoire scored the only goal in a win at Penn that ended the regular season, and later that night, once Columbia tied Harvard, the outright Ivy title belonged to the Tigers. Gregoire closed her career with a United Soccer Coaches second-team AllAmerica honor last season,

as well as first-team All-East Region and a spot as a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist. Along with the Ivy Offensive Player of the Year award, Gregoire was a firstteam All-Ivy League honoree in 2017, making it four AllIvy honors in four years after another first-team recognition in 2015 as the Tigers made it to the second round of the NCA A tournament and two honorable mentions in 2014 and 2016. The other finalists for the award were squash star Oliver Fiechter field hockey standout Ryan McCarthy, hoops star Leslie Robinson, and women’s water polo standout Haley Wan. Kanoff, for his part, rewrote the Princeton football record book throughout his championship career. An All-Ivy League starting quarterback during the Tigers’ 2016 Ivy championship season, Kanoff produced the most statistically dominant season for an Ivy quarterback last fall as a senior. A native of Pacific Palisades, Calif. who graduated from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Kanoff set the Ivy League record with both 3,474 passing yards and a 73.2 completion percentage during his senior season. He broke the Princeton singleseason record for passing touchdowns (29), and he set the program record for career passing yards (7,510). Kanoff helped trigger the Ivy League’s top-ranked offense in each of the last two seasons, and his efficiency was never more apparent than when he completed 31 of 35 passes for 421 yards and two touchdowns in a 5217 win at Harvard last fall. T h e 6’4 , 2 2 5 - p o u n d Kanoff, who started the last 30 games of his career for Princeton, signed a contract with the Arizona Cardinals in the offseason. Other finalists for the award included track sprinting star Carrington Akosa, standout pole vaulter August Kiles, men’s water polo goalie Vogislav Mitrovic, wrestler Jonathan Schleifer, and men’s lax midfielder Austin Sims. —Bill Alden

PU Sports Roundup Princeton Women’s Hoops Adds Alumna Micir to Staff

For mer Princeton University women’s basketball star Addie Micir ’11 is coming home to join the Tiger women’s basketball coaching staff. Micir, who has been on the Dartmouth women’s hoops staff since 2013, will be assuming a role as assistant coach under Tiger head coach Courtney Banghart. The recent depar ture of longtime Princeton assistant Milena Flores opened up the spot for Micir. “Milena’s departure is a real loss for Princeton,” said Banghart. “She gave her heart and soul to this program and is forever a part of its legacy. You don’t replace someone like Milena, rather you find another great fit for where the program is and where you want it to go. To be able to welcome Addie back to Princeton is an absolute home run. She is a former unanimous conference player of the year, a former team captain, a twotime Ivy League Champion, a member of our first NCAA Tournament team, someone who played all five positions, and she has accumulated five years of valuable coaching experience in this league.” Micir was hired by Dartmouth in July of 2013 where her responsibilities included recruiting, scouting, wing player development and the academic liaison among many others. She spent the previous two seasons overseas playing in Europe. While at Princeton, Micir finished with 1,188 points, tied for ninth all-time when she graduated, and was three-time All-Ivy player. As a senior captain, she became the first player in program history to be named Ivy League Player of the Year after leading the Tigers to their second conference crown. As a junior, she was part of the program’s first ever NCA A Tour nament team, winning the outright Ivy title for the first time since 1978.

Prevailing in Epic Battle Against East Orange, PHS Boys’ Track Wins Group 4 State Title For the Princeton High boys’ track team, its quest for the state Group 4 title last weekend turned into a two-horse race with perennial power East Orange. By the end of action on Friday in the two-day competition at Franklin High, PHS was clearly in the mix for the championship. “Our first day was better than where we thought we would be, but East Orange was also better than where we thought they would be,” said Ben Samara, the associate head coach of the PHS boys’ and girls’ teams. “The whole meet, we overperformed and they overperformed. It was really an epic battle.” An epic performance by the 4x800 meter relay which saw it take first in a schoolrecord 7:47.89 gave PHS a major boost in opening day action. “Acasio Pinheiro ran a tough mile and we decided to give him some rest and sub Tucker Zullo in for him and that team met the challenge,” said Samara, reflecting on the performance by

the quartet of Will Hare, Zullo, Jackson McCarthy, and Nick Delaney. “They still went out there and set a N.J. No.1 time this season so you couldn’t ask for a better way to end day one and make a statement.” On Saturday, the Little Tigers made a major statement, edging East Orange to win the program’s first outdoor Group state title since 1981. PHS ended up with 81 points, five points better than the 76 piled up by the Jaguars. “The mood around the team was very determined,” said Samara. “The guys knew that if we do what we needed to do, we would gave a really good chance.” Individual winners for PHS included senior standout Hare in the 3,200 (9:09.77, personal best, school record) and junior star Paul Brennan in the discus (176’ 4, personal best). Samara wasn’t surprised by the clutch performances from Hare and Brennan, who added a third place in the shot put with a schoolrecord and personal-best

heave of 57’3. “Will Hare always has the luxury of being towards the end of the meet; he can really begin to take us home and he relishes that spot,” said Samara of the pair of stars who will now compete in the Meet of Champions (MOC) on June 9 at Northern Burlington High. “He just decided that it was his race and took it home. Paul has spent the entire year really looking for that breakthrough and he really picked a big meet to have the breakthrough. He tried to time his taper correctly for a big meet like this. He took a jump at the right time.” Other PHS athletes who finished in the top six and will join Hare and Brennan at the MOC include: Varun Narayan and Nils Wildberg - second and third place in the long jump (both jumped 22’ 7.5); Simon Schenk second in the pole vault (14’ 6) Ben Kioko - third place in the javelin (180’1, PR), Acasio Pinheiro - third place in the 1,600; and Matt Perello - sixth place in the 200. Narayan and Wildberg also teamed with Jack Whetstone and Perello to get third place in the 4x100 when the team had been seeded seventh, posting another school record as they dropped their time to 42.82. The pair of Narayan and Wildb erg put PHS over the top as the Little Tigers trailed East Orange 76-67 before they came through with their top-3 finishes in

GROUP EFFORT: Members of the Princeton High boys’ track team show off the plaque they earned for winning the state Group 4 state title last Saturday at Franklin High. PHS scored 81 points to edge runner-up East Orange, which totaled 76. It marked program’s first outdoor Group state title since 1981. PHS is next in action when its athletes compete in the Meet of Champions in June 9 at Northern Burlington High. the long jump. “T here is not anot her event we would want to have the meet riding on with the season that Nils and Varun have had,” said Samara. “We were quietly confident going into the long jump and we knew as long as they could hit the board, we were going to be OK. Those two have been the embodiment of the turnaround of our sprints and I couldn’t be happier for those guys.” Producing some unexpected third-place finishes helped make the Little Tigers confident of victory. “We had a bunch of events where we had it slotted down for one point and we ended up getting third, and that is

the margin right there,” said Samara, citing Kioko in the javelin, Brennan in the shot put and the 4x100 as key third-place finishes. Those performances were emblematic of a wellrounded PHS squad. “This is what we have been hoping for; this team really showed depth across the board that you don’t often see on the Group level,” said Samara. “To be able to score in 11 of the events in the meet and move people on to MOC in 13 of those events (with wild card entries) is an unprecedented show of depth that these guys should be really proud of.” In addition to talent, the te a m’s at h le te s p os s e s s

championship intangibles. “This group has extraordinary work ethic and extraordinary humility at the same time to go with confidence. It is really the right combination, it is a super special group.” Samara believes the Little Tigers can accomplish more special things at the MOC. “I am hoping we can come away with some state titles,” said Samara, noting that PHS has seven athletes or relays seeded in the top 10 for the meet. “It is a really hard and long season to stay locked in, trust the training, and trust themselves in staying the course. It has really been fun.” —Bill Alden

awakening when we have come across a strong team. It made us mentally tough.” Taking on the formidable foes also proved to be a bonding exper ience for squad. “It made us come together more as a team,” added Doran. “In general, the girls really grew over the course of the season from being a little more individual-minded to recognizing the importance of team play, communication, and trust.” Doran credited the team’s four seniors, Sophia Navarrete, Abaigeal Ryan, Margaret Jacobs, and Kendall Lieberman with helping the Little Tigers come together. “They were great leaders; Sophia and Abaigeal were the captains, Margaret and Kendall have always been ver y positive and supportive,” said Doran. “You always look to your seniors to set the tone on the team because all of the girls typically look up to them. They did a really good job of that, setting that positive and supportive tone. I think that all the girls felt supported by one another, and that really starts with the seniors.” Looking ahead, Doran sees a positive future for the program. “It is exciting to recognize that it is a relatively young team that has played together for a few years,” said Doran, who will be welcoming back a formidable one-two punch of leading scorers Shaylah Marciano and Mariana Lopez-Ona, along with Kathryn DeMilt, Eva Petrone, L auren Rougas, Shosh i Henderson, Lila Doran, and rapidly improving goalie Grace Reardon. “To be ending the season with that level of familiarity and experience will work to our advantage next year.” —Bill Alden

Facing powerhouse Clearview in the state Group 4 semifinals last week, the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team trailed 10-5 at halftime but knew the deficit wasn’t insurmountable. A week earlier in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional final, PHS fell behind Rancocas Valley 8-3 early in the second half only to reel off six unanswered goals to win 9-8 and book its place in the state semis. B ut t h is t i m e a ra l ly wasn’t in the cards for the Little Tigers, as Clearview pulled away to a 20-7 win in the May 29 contest. “We weren’t able to capitalize on a bunch of scoring opportunities that we had in the first half,” said PHS head coach Sara Doran, who got three goals and an assist from junior star Mariana Lopez-Ona in the loss with sophomore Eva Petrone and senior Abaigeal Ryan scoring two goals apiece. “In the second half, we really struggled with the draw control and maintaining possession. We had very few draw control wins. We were just not able to gain possession. It is kind of what the game came down to. We knew they had a few really good girls; they performed really well and definitely earned the win.” PHS, for its part, performed better and better as the spring went on, overcoming a 1-5 start to win the sectional title and end the season with a 13-11 record. “ We w e r e g o i n g u p against some strong competition early on,” said Doran. “I think it worked in some ways to the girls’ advantage because they had that stronger competition right off the bat whereas in past years we have played easier teams and then it has been a little bit of a rude

Sparking PDS Baseball With Hitting, Leadership, Senior Star Franzoni Enjoyed Superb Final Season Coming into this spring, Luke Franzoni was ready to shoulder more responsibility for the Princeton Day School baseball team. “Clearly we lost some key guys from last year with seniors like Paul [Franzoni], Ryan [Sparks], Chase [Fleming], and Zach [Dudeck],” said the 6’2, 175-pound Franzoni, an infielder/pitcher. “I just wanted to come in with a positive mindset

being a senior this year, knowing I am going to be a leader.” In addition to exuding an upbeat approach, Franzoni showed leadership with a tremendous season at the plate, batting .538 with 28 hits, 29 runs, seven doubles, four triples, 10 homers, and 25 RBIs in 18 games. His heroics helped the Panthers go 8-11 and advance to state Prep B semifinals.

Franzoni’s production this spring was the product of intense preparation. “I worked a lot with my cousin B.J. [Dudeck] (a former PDS baseball star who played college ball for VMI and LaSalle) all summer just trying to make the adjustments here and there at the plate,” said Franzoni. “I was trying to be more patient. I knew a lot of teams would try to throw around me this year. I was trying to stay in the zone and not swing at bad pitches, and when I get a pitch, try to take advantage of it.” After a rough spring training trip to Florida, which saw PDS go winless, Franzoni focused on leading by example. “I was trying to keep positive for everyone and keep working hard,” said Franzoni.

“We ended up starting the regular season with three wins; I think that is what gave a lot of the younger guys confidence and helped going forward. It helped me step into a bigger role and just pushing them along.” Although PDS hit a rough patch in the middle of the season, it played some good ball down the stretch. “We played well when it came time. We knew games when we really needed to play our best,” said Franzoni. “We played a really good game against Hun, we went extra innings with them (a 14-12 loss on April 11). We played an awesome game in the Prep B quarters; we beat Newark Academy, who was a good team (4-1 on May 8). We played a good game against Steinert in the MCT but that got away from us (a 5-4 loss on May 7 after leading 4-1). Little things here or there could have gone a different way IN THE ZONE: Princeton Day School baseball player Luke Franzoni takes a swing in a game this spring. Senior star and Xavier University-bound Franzoni produced a superb final campaign for PDS, batting .538 with 28 hits, 29 runs seven doubles, four triples, 10 homers, and 25 RBIs in 18 games. His heroics helped the Panthers go 8-11 and advance to state Prep B semifinals. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

but I think we played well. I was proud of what everyone did.” Franzoni was also proud of the team spirit and unity displayed by the Panthers throughout the spring. “I not iced a lot more energ y from the bench. Everyone was always into the game, picking up their teammates,” said Franzoni. “A lot of people were being loud. That stuff gets overlooked sometimes in baseball; it is a slow game and that can be important. We had a few games where we were down a little and ended up coming back, and I think the energy definitely helped with that.” In assessing his power surge this season, Franzoni channelled his energy into lifting the ball at the plate. “A lot of it is just trying to get the ball in the air,” said Franzoni. “If you get the ball in the air, then you give yourself a chance. If you try to hit the ball in the air and you miss, you may hit a line drive. That is my mentality

and it definitely helped me. Fr a n z o n i e nj oye d t h e chance to play four seasons for PDS. “Looking at PDS baseball, there was a lot of development in my four years,” said Franzoni, who ended his career with 76 hits, 18 homers, 62 RBIs, and was chosen to play for the Mercer County team in the 2018 Carpenter Cup Classic. “As a freshman I came in and we had a really solid team with JP Radvany, Jake Alu, and Cole McManimon, all of those D-1 seniors. I had to wait my turn and it helped me want to get better everyday and work harder. PDS baseball is a great family, everyone supporting each other no matter what.” There was a special family connection on the Panthers for Franzoni as he was joined on the team by his older brother Paul, a star catcher now playing for NJIT’s Division I baseball program. “Playing with Paul was probably one of my favorite things about the PDS baseball team,” said Franzoni. “He is my brother, and he is my best friend too. We are each other’s biggest supporter.” This fall, Franzoni will be following in his brother’s footsteps as he will be attending Xavier University and joining its D-I baseball team. “When I went to Xavier, everything felt right,” said Franzoni, noting that his travel team, the Flemingtonbased New Jersey Diamond Jacks, helped in his college recruiting process. “They had a new head coach this year. He is a young guy and a really good guy. He is easy to talk to and easy to relate to; everything else about the school was awesome.” —Bill Alden

Before Jerry and Carol moved to Princeton in 1997 for retirement, Jerry was an ophthalmologist in New Haven, Conn. He had his own practice since 1963 and had surgery privileges at the Hospital of St. Raphael and Yale New Haven Hospital. A f ter g raduat ing f rom Phillips Academy Andover, Jerry earned his AB from Yale University in 1951, his MD from Tufts College Medical School in 1955, and went on to do an Internship at Yale-New Haven Hospital from 1955-56.

In his early years in Princeton, Jerry devoted many hours a week being recorded at Recording for the Blind, now Learning Ally. His specialty was science related material. Jer r y and Carol made many wonderful new friends in Princeton, in many cases through their memberships at The Nassau Club and Carol’s at the Present Day Club. Jerry was a big reader and was known to have strong opinions on a rather large range of topics. His personality which ranged from very quiet and introspective to quite animated, was appreciated by all who knew him. He will be missed greatly. Friends and family are invited to the Nassau Club following the burial at Princeton Cemetery. In lieu of f lowers, the family asks that donations be made to Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center or Learning Ally in Princeton.

Elizabeth Reilly Steele E li zabet h Poole Reilly Steele ( Betty), a 60-year resident of Princeton, beloved mother of six, and grandmother of eight, died May 30, 2018. Born February 28, 1928, in Boston, she was the cherished only child of Eugenia Poole Reilly and James Crowley Reilly of Lowell, Mass. Betty’s delightful childhood was enriched by the Reilly clan of Lowell, especially her seven next door cousins. One, Grace Reilly Conway, became Betty’s lifelong best friend. They spent nearly every day of their young lives together, including more than 80 summers at Drakes Island, Maine. That tranquil space became Betty’s foundation, the getaway she later enjoyed for so many summers with her own children. There she instilled in each of them an appreciation for place and a devotion to family, as well as the beauty of storytelling as she recreated many wonderful experiences with her loving Daddy, devoted Auntie Bud, and many family and friends. She at tended Lowell schools and became lifelong friends with Libby Drury King of Falmouth, Me. (their mothers were also great friends). Betty graduated from Rogers Hall School for Girls, where she was editor-in-chief of the literary yearbook and valedictorian of her graduating class. She attended the College of St. Elizabeth with her cousin, Grace, before transferring to Manhattanville College. There she became an officer of the English Club, earned a degree in sociology, and was awarded a Child of Mary medal. Betty began her working life as a reporter for the Lowell Sun, where she had a by-line for the column “And Have You Heard,” focusing on the social and cultural activities of the Lowell communit y. Inter view ing First Lady Mamie Eisenhower was both an exceptional opportunity and a pinnacle of Betty’s career. She also had occasion to meet with actress Dorothy Lamour and director Alfred Hitchcock while they were in town on a movie promotion tour. Betty married in 1953 and the couple moved to Charlottesville, Va., then Riverside and Merced, Calif. She loved the adventure of traveling the country and relished the challenges of independence. With the births of her first two children in California, Betty found her true calling: motherhood. The family returned east and lived briefly on Staten Island before choosing Princeton to settle with three, then six, young children. Betty chose to make this town her home for the rest of her life.

Her children were Betty’s greatest source of pride and joy. She had a talent for making each of her six feel special, carving out coveted time alone with one or another and creating lasting memories out of the smallest activities such as celebrating her late father’s birthday on Valentine’s Day. She brought joy to each day, somehow knew just what to say in hard times, and personified unconditional love. Betty went on to raise the children alone, and faced down difficulties with the support of devoted friends such as Flora Hicks. Rarely faltering, Betty set a powerful example of grace under pressure. She became a woman perhaps not even she knew she could be: resilient, resourceful, self-reliant, and successful. She went back to work, joining Gallery 100 on Nassau Street, which was owned by her dear friend Fleurette Faus. When Betty moved into advertising and public relations, she found an interest that would last the rest of her career. The personal and professional converged in her role as director of public relations for Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in Princeton, which all four of her daughters had attended and she had helped found in the 1960s. Her physical beauty lasted through each stage of her life, but Betty was much more than her captivating smile. She had an equally lovely singing voice, a passion for reading, a great talent for writing, and a flair both for decorating and entertaining — interests many of her children have carried forth. She expanded her writing skills with poetry courses at Princeton University where the quality of her work was noted, and often delighted family and friends with poems and limericks. Betty was instrumental in the preservation of Princeton’s historic houses, having fully restored her Colonial Revival home at 250 Mercer Street. She enjoyed activities at the Present Day Club of Princeton, was a proud founder of the TWIN Awards (Tribute to Women & Industry) program at the YWCA, and chaired the Lane of Shops major fundraiser of the Princeton Hospital Fete. Betty is survived by six loving children: James Reilly Steele and his wife Elizabeth of Sao Francisco Xavier, Brazil; Eugenie Steele Dieck and her husband David of Lafayette Hill, Pa.; Mary Ellen and her husband Joseph; Elizabeth Steele and her wife Margaret Drugovich of Oneonta, N.Y., and Castine, Me.; John Steele and his wife Julie Tippens of Arlington, Va.; and Margaret Steele and her husband Robert Rieth of Sherman Oaks, Calif. Betty’s love for life will also continue in her eight grandchildren: Andrew and Brendan Dieck, Elizabeth and William Kelly, Reilly and Molly Steele, and Jack and Alexandra Rieth. Betty is also survived by her cousins Grace Reilly Conway and Ann Reilly Gervais, both of greater Lowell, Mass., and Drakes Island, Me. She was predeceased by her parents and her cousins Frances Reilly Mack, Peter

BIO - FERTILIZATION A MUST THIS SPRING with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

If you were among the fortunate to escape serious loss and damage of mature trees and shrubs during this past winter’s storms, you may well want to consider a valuable preventive measure this spring. Ornamental plantings (those in our gardens) need an extra dose of TLC now. Most urban landscape soils are in poor condition, they are highly compacted and too low in organic matter, forcing trees and shrubs to grow under stress. Healthy soil biology allows plants to maximize soil fertility even in the harshest urban environments. Come summertime, our trees will experience much slower grow th while they rebuild their defenses. Fertilization now will encourage root growth and give them a head start. A good root system is necessary for overcoming environmental stress. Woodwinds’ specially-formulated liquid fertilizer and rootp r o m oter d e c r e a s e s soil compaction while increasing air and water retention, both of which are essential for nutrient uptake by the trees’ roots. The biological products we use provide a “natural systems” approach to soil health, which assists the roots of plants, trees, flowers, and lawns to improved access to water, minerals and nutrients, allowing your plants to flourish and become more resistant to any environmental stress and subsequent insect and disease attack. A professional evaluation by a trained arborist can help improve current conditions and protect against future problems.

Morris Marks, whose boundless love for his family was returned in full, died Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 94. He was a proud South Philadelphian and first-generation American, the son of Nathan and Tillie Marks, from Kishinev, Moldova. He had four older brothers — Harry, Abe, Dan, and Jack — and his passing marks the end of a generation. A f ter graduating f rom South Philadelphia High School for Boys, Morris enlisted in the Army and served in the Signal Corps, repairing code machines. Celebrating V-E Day, he watched Gen. Charles de Gaulle march through Paris from a perch near the Arc de Triomphe. His father died when Morris was serving in Europe, and when he returned to the

United States, he became a watch repairman to help support his mother. He spent the next four decades working on Philadelphia’s Jewelers Row. He had a fantastic stroke of luck when, after moving to a new home in 1952, he found that one of his neighbors was a young teacher named Connie Seidler. Two years later, they were married. They moved to Northeast Philadelphia, where they raised two children, Marilyn and Ted. Af ter retirement, Morris and Connie moved to a senior-living community in Tamarac, Fla. Morris quickly became active in the community, serving as secretary of the condo board and as a member of the neighborhood-watch program, preventing crime during the

Emmi Spies Emmi Vera Tobias Spies, a longtime resident of Princeton and Kingston, passed away on May 22, 2018. She was 89, and lived a remarkable life. Born in Stettin, Germany in 1929, to Dr. Walter Tobias and Margarete Freundlich Tobias, she was 10 years old when she fled Germany together with her family. They emigrated to Santiago, Chile, where she was raised and schooled, showing talent in competitive swimming and in creating or iginal fashions. She married Claudio Spies in 1953 and they moved to the United States, where they lived in Cambridge, Mass., Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Swarthmore, Pa. before moving to Princeton in 1970 with their five children, Caterina, Michael, Tatiana, Leah, and Susanna. Shortly after arriving in Princeton, Emmi began to work supporting young dyslexic children and was one of the original teachers at the Lewis School, where she taught for many years. She took great pride in following the growth and success

of so many of her former students. Even following retirement she continued to work with students from the Princeton area schools, and touched the lives of dozens of students and their families. Emmi was also an avid knit ter of color f ul hats, scarves and sweaters, which will continue to lend warmth and flair to many appreciative friends and family members. Emmi spent many summers at the beautiful beach in Small Point, Maine, where she enjoyed long walks and many happy memories with family and friends. She was also very much at home in the loving family community of her beloved deceased brother Juan, of Vancouver, Canada. She is sur vived by her children Caterina, and her husband Myron Reece, in Glen Ellen, California; Michael and wife Claudia, of New York City; Leah, and husband Alex Winck, of Los Angeles; and Susanna, of Los Angeles. Her beloved daughter Tatiana passed away in 2012. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Jake, Elijah, Ben, Olivia, and Julia, and by her former husband Claudio, who lives in Glen Ellen with Caterina and Myron. She will be lovingly remembered by her many friends and former students. Private family services are planned. A memorial service will be held in Princeton for friends and former students on a date to be announced shortly. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association; or the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.

MARKET VALUE VS. VALUATION: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Text (only) (609) 638-6846 Office (609) 216-7936

Whether you’re a buyer or seller, making sure you’re getting the best value is of paramount importance. It just makes sense to try to gain as much information as you can before setting a price or making an offer. One big mistake a lot of buyers and sellers make when trying to determine a fair value for a home is to look at the current tax records, available on sites like Realtor.com as well as county tax assessor websites.

To get the true value of a home on today’s market, talking to an experienced real estate agent is your best bet. Experienced agents know what buyers are looking for, and they also know what prices homes in your neighborhood are commanding. It’s one more way to take the hassle out of the home sales process.

I will clean out attics, basements, garages & houses. Single items to entire estates. No job too big or small. In business over 35 years, serving all of Mercer County. Call (609) 306-0613.

Whether it’s selling furniture, finding a lost pet, or having a garage sale, TOWN TOPICS is the way to go!

Over 30 Years of Experience •Fully Insured •Free Consultations

While that might seem like a good tactic, it actually can leave you with a wildly inaccurate value, one that doesn’t reflect the true market value of the home. That’s because there’s a big difference between a home’s market value and its value for tax purposes. Tax valuation is completely separate from market value, and it’s determined based on a lot of factors - none of which has to do with the price a home will bring when it’s sold. In fact, in most cases, a home’s market value exceeds the tax valuation - often significantly.
