Little Advance On School Food Workers Nutri-Serve Dispute While contract negotiations between the teachers’s union and the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) have taken center stage at recent public Board meetings, those between the district’s food service workers and their employer Nutri-Serve seem to have dropped out of sight. The district’s food service workers have been hoping that their union, Local 32 BJ Service Employees International Union, will come to an agreement on a contract dispute with Nutri-Serve that began shortly after the company took over management of school food services last year. In June 2014, the BOE unanimously approved a $61,245 food service contract with Nutri-Serve Food Management, Inc. for the 2014-15 school year. Existing cafeteria staff were offered jobs with the new contractor, which replaced Chartwells School Dining Services, which had served Princeton’s schools for 15 years. Nutri-Serve was contracted for one year with the option for four additional one-year renewals. Although the BOE has repeatedly pointed out that it is not a party to the negotiations between the company it hired and its employees, a number of food service workers have appealed to the Board to intercede on their behalf at recent meetings. Many of the school cafeteria workers earn in the region of $9 an hour and have been serving food to Princeton’s school children for more than a decade. They claim that Nutri-Serve has not only taken away their health insurance and sick day benefits, it has been disrespectful to their needs. According to their union, Nutri-Serve unilaterally and unlawfully changed the terms of its contract with the employees. Union representatives last met with the company on February 23 but as yet no further meeting has yet been scheduled. “The Union sets the schedule for our meetings which have so far been held at the Princeton Public Library,” said Karen Maier, founder, owner, and president of Nutri-Serve. “The negotiations started last August and the meetings take place when the Union rep Edith Villavicencio is available; she has a lot to do and isn’t always available,” said Ms. Maier.

Council Authorizes Funds for Lytle Street Property

At its meeting Monday night, Princeton Council voted 4-2 to set aside $600,000 to acquire two lots at 31-33 Lytle Street, next to the Mary Moss Park, in the Witherspoon/Jackson neighborhood. Mercer County open space funding would finance part of the purchase. While the original plan was to tear down the house that sits on the property and extend the adjacent, small park to include a “spray ground” and other improvements, Council has not decided the fate of the parcel because so many members of the community have spoken out against the plan. Numerous residents of the neighborhood and other citizens, speaking at Monday’s meeting and at a separate meeting last week, have expressed a desire to see the house saved. Some urged that it be turned into units of affordable housing, while others have suggested different uses such as a type of museum of the neighborhood’s history. Princeton’s Historic Preservation Commission passed a resolution earlier this month encouraging the town to spare the house, which dates from 1870 and is said to be the oldest house on the street. Resident Kip Cherry told Council that

Habitat for Humanity is interested in rehabilitating the house, raising money from private donors and having volunteers handle the labor. The plumbing and electrical work would be done by licensed professionals. Town administrator Marc Dashield said he had spoken to the executive director of Habitat for Humanity, who had some concerns about the financing. To renovate the house, which is in disrepair, it would cost at least $200,000, he said.

The property is currently owned by developer Roman Barsky, who has had a demolition permit since October but has held off on tearing down the house to allow the governing body time to decide whether to purchase the lots. While Mr. Barsky can tear down the house at any time, and build new houses, Princeton’s municipal attorney Trishka Cecil told the Council that voting to introduce the ordinance would likely send the developer a Continued on Page 6

Planning Board Passes Proposal For 7-Eleven Store, Post Office Princeton’s Planning Board voted unanimously last week in favor of a plan to allow a 7-Eleven to move into the former West Coast Video location at 259 East Nassau Street. The convenience store would be located in the front of the building, while the Princeton branch of the U.S. Post Office would move into the rear. The Post Office would vacate its long-time location on Palmer Square. The Nassau Street property has been mostly vacant for a decade. Owned by the Bratman family, who ran a Viking

Furniture store there for several years, it was originally an auto dealership in the 1920’s and has also housed a Johanna Farms, Eckerd Drugs, Wawa convenience store, and a laundromat during the past decades. The store would occupy 4,945 square feet, while the post office would take up 3,505 square feet. 7-Eleven would not alter the footprint of the building, but plans to make small improvements, said the town’s planning director Lee Solow, at Continued on Page 9

WE SHARE YOUR CONCERN AND FRUSTRATION We heard the Princeton Public Schools parents’ and community’s heartfelt message “save our spring” at last week’s meeting of the Board of Education. We, the members of PREA – teachers, guidance counselors, media specialists, school psychologists and nurses – greatly appreciate your speaking out and we share your sadness and frustration. No one could possibly feel good about the current state of contract negotiations. Our members and the district have always sought to achieve all that is possible in public education. Ours is a lighthouse district, and parents and community members are rightfully concerned that we are straying from our traditions.

WE WANT TO EXPLAIN On December 1st we stopped volunteering for activities for which we are not paid. We know how much students, parents and teachers all value the trips, performances and competitions that take place outside the classroom and beyond the school day. We have always freely given our all for these enrichment activities and have felt the respect and regard of parents and the broader community in return. It cannot be stressed enough that all activities affected are beyond the scope of teacher responsibilities outlined in any contract. Like many other services we provide, our participation comes out of our own personal time and pocket, including paying for child care for our own children in order to take part in these activities. The austerity measures that we accepted in the last contract, in addition to eight months without a new contract, means the salaries of the vast majority of teachers are at least three years below their years of experience on the previously agreed-to salary guide. Teachers with nine years in the district have yet to reach a $60,000 salary. Many take home less pay today than they did in 2006 — nine years ago! Salary levels have not kept up with increases in living expenses, and the inexplicable lack of progress in negotiations required us to curtail our beyond-the-contract activities. We felt our backs were against the wall.

WE ALL NEED THIS TO END NOW We love what we do. We love teaching the children of Princeton and Cranbury and we are heartsick about the current situation. But please understand, when we announced that we would no longer be volunteering, contract talks had already been going on for a year. Rallies, flyers, picketing, letters to the editor, exhaustive comments at monthly board meetings had all proven futile. Still, we sincerely hoped the action we felt compelled to take would be short-lived. Board members understand as well as any of us the impact upon students. And yet, even with mediation, four more months have passed without a resolution. As a community, we all need to come together to ensure the preservation of our lighthouse district. We will do our part. Upon our insistence, we have a face-to-face negotiations session with the Board tomorrow evening. Please call the Board of Education and tell them the community needs them to do their part in order for this strife to end. Sincerely yours, Members of the Princeton Regional Schools Association (PREA)

A MESSAGE FROM THE EDUCATORS OF PRINCETON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2015 • 6

Lytle Street Property continued from page one

message that the town is serious about the acquisition. According to Ms. Cecil, it is not clear whether the municipality can purchase the property with open space funds, preserve it, and then sell it or turn it into affordable housing. The county

cannot contribute to the purchase if the house is still standing on the property, and that doubles the cost for the town, Mayor Liz Lempert said, adding, “From my perspective, if we’re buying it with open space money, I believe there is an expectation from the public that the building would be a public building and would be open to the public.”

Princeton resident Daniel Harris said local citizens will meet with Mr. Barsky this week to tell him of their hopes for the property. The Trenton-based community development organization Isles “ has not been ap proached, but they are on our radar,” he said. Heidi Fichtenbaum, another local resident, said the issue is about more than just saving

a building “Sustainability encompasses not only our natural environment, but our cultural environment,” she said. Council member Jenny Crumiller introduced a motion to table the vote, but no other members seconded that motion. “I think we owe it to the people to table it and give them time to come up with a solution,” she said. “I made a radical shift in my thinking because I thought everybody would be happy about it. I’m definitely having second thoughts.” Councilman Lance Liverman said that while he supports affordable housing, spending $600,000 for this property to turn it into affordable housing is not worth it. But he would be willing to listen to ideas for a partnership. The governing body voted to table a vote on the issue earlier this month. Council president Bernie Miller stressed that by voting to introduce the ordinance, “we’re just putting the funds in place. Tabling it means we bring it up again, which probably defers action for another five or six weeks,” he said. Councilman Patrick Simon said he was saddened by the situation because “we’ve been asked to deliver something we can’t deliver in a fiscally responsible way. The house is simply not worth it. The people who are pushing for this are going to have to come up with a solution,” he said. “Give us time,” yelled Mr. Harris. Mr. Simon and Ms. Crumiller voted against the introduction, while the rest of the Council voted in favor. Budget The Council voted unanimously to introduce Princeton’s 2015 budget, which is $60.9 million and includes a tax rate increase of 1.6 cents. Homeowners with an average home assessed at $800,560 could expect to have their municipal tax bills raised by $147, said the town’s administrator Marc Dashield, who presented the budget to Council. “It continues to maintain or increase services at financially sustainable levels,” he said. Different departments prepared their baseline budgets as part of the process, and help was provided by the volunteer Citizens Finance Advisory Committee (CFAC). Last year’s plan for spending was $59.2 million. If the proposed budget is passed, it will bring the municipal tax rate back to where it was in 2010, Mayor Lempert said. A public hearing for the budget will take place at the April 27 Council meeting. —Anne Levin

Question of the Week: “What Books Are You

Looking for This Year?”

(Asked at the Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale)

Lexie: “I was hoping to find all of my wish list books. I’ve been able to find 12 of them. These were books I wanted to get in hard cover, fantasy novels from Australia. I also found some British novels for my friend in Britain.” Mellissa: “I was just looking for some books for my fouryear-old daughter, as we well some biology and ecology books for school for myself and for my students.” —Lexie Cenni (L) and Mellissa Kugel, Hamilton

“I found this amazing book on costume design. And I’m trying to research the background on what’s in the Bayeux Tapestry. I found this book in the Arts section and it has many different examples of Norman England drawings, which may have been the templates for the Bayeux Tapestry. I teach 7th grade history and always find very interesting and rare books to add to my classroom library.” —Connie Escher, Princeton

“Goosebumps and Pokémon!” —Jack O’Connor, Princeton

“I found some music books for the piano, because I’m just starting my piano playing now. I was also hoping to find some Andrew Gross mystery stories, and I did find one. I’m also looking for some craft books with some knitting patterns.” —Glenda Beller, Monroe Township

Mara: “I was just looking for anything history related. I am studying the Revolutionary time period in school and it’s by far my favorite subject.” Gina: “I brought my children today. Looking particularly for some history books for my daughter Mara. And, I myself have found some cooking books.” Simon: “I was looking for some mystery, and I found a Batman and a Superman flip book.” Dylan: “I’ve found some good mystery books so far, but I’m going to keep looking and check some other subjects.” —(from left) Mara, Gina, Simon (center), and Dylan Breth, Hamilton

Rajesh: “Mainly I was here with my son and helping him look for some books. We have been here the past few years and have always been able to find very good books.” Aryan: “I am more interested in science. So, I was looking more in biology and physics. I found everything I was looking for.” —Rajesh and Aryan Lalwani, Montgomery

PRINCETON HOMECOMING: It was a homecoming of sorts when Petty Officer 1st Class Ryan M. Mann of the United States Navy traveled to Princeton to visit children in Susan Frenchu’s kindergarten class at Johnson Park Elementary School. The kindergartners had written to Mr. Mann as part of a Veterans Day class project last November and were delighted when he came to see them on March 16. Mr. Mann, who is stationed in Africa, brought the students a handcarved cheetah in tribute to their class name, “The Golden Cheetahs.” They learned that “their veteran” grew up in Princeton where he went to Littlebrook School.

Johnson Park Kindergarten Class Welcomes Navy Veteran Ryan Mann When kindergartners in Susan Frenchu’s class at Johnson Park Elementary School wrote to a member of the military last November, all they knew about “their veteran” was his name: Ryan M. Mann.

“They knew only the offi cer’s name, not his rank, his location or where he was from — or even if he was actively enlisted,” said Ann T. Kovalick, who volunteers as a class parent at the school, where her son is in Ms. Frenchu’s class.

So the children, who had chosen to name their class “The Golden Cheetahs” after the famed African cat that is the fastest on the planet, had no way of knowing that their letter would travel all the way to Africa to reach Petty Officer 1st Class Ryan M. Mann of the United States Navy or that their project would one day bring Mr. Mann all the way to their Princeton classroom. Mr. Mann made special arrangements to visit “The Golden Cheetahs” on his next trip home to the United States. He thanked each of his young correspondents in person on March 16. Not only that, he presented the entire class, with a hand carved “Golden Cheetah” from Africa. In their letter, “The Golden Cheetahs” shared their favorite things with Mr. Mann. They each drew him a small picture. They also asked him questions, including what his favorite color is, what his favorite shape is, and what his favorite food is. They hoped to get a letter back and they were not disappointed. In his reply, Mr. Mann revealed that his favorite color is red, his favorite shape is a triangle, and that he thinks spaghetti with meatballs is delicious. Although Mr. Mann now makes his home in Maryland, he grew up in Princeton where he went to Littlebrook Elementary School at a time when Robert Ginsberg, now principal of Johnson Park, was the principal there. The former Littlebrook student ran into Mr. Ginsberg in the hallway and while he may have felt the urge to salute, he settled instead for a warm handshake with his former principal whom he recognized immediately. Johnson Park School prides itself on fostering a warm and friendly environment and the

contact between these young students and Mr. Mann was prompted by the initiative of a school aide who is also a former Navy offi cer. Rick Kelly reached out to teachers asking if they could supply the names of any veterans they knew of. He hoped to facilitate letters from students as a way of marking Veterans Day, the official November 11 holiday honoring people who have served or are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. As a result, teacher Bonnie Walker, who lives next door to Mr. Mann’s mother, made the connection. Mr. Kelly was therefore the guiding hand Continued on Next Page

March 6. Ms. Maier, who has been working in the school food service industry since 1976, launched Nutri-Serve 28 years ago from the second bedroom of her condominium home. Today, the company serves some 78,000 children every day and over 60 percent of the company’s business is contract work with boards of education. As far as Ms. Maier is concerned, the operations in Princeton’s schools are fine. “We hired a bi-lingual manager Joel Rosa and we have good relations with the employees,” she said. And while she believes progress has been made in the negotiations, with some better benefits being offered, she reports that holidays are the “hold up” for employees who work for 180 days in the year.

“But morale-wise things are good and we have a nice relationship with the employees,” said Ms. Maier. “We’ve made a good faith effort and our operation is working, the workers get sick days and we are providing health benefits.” The company has also provided more staff training. “Our employees are really nice people, they gave gifts to our managers at Christmas time; they are family people who love children and need their jobs. I’m available, they can talk to me if they want to,” said the business owner who pointed out that a union contract is not essential for operations to continue. Ms. Maier laughed at the accusation made in the public comment session at last month’s Board meeting that Nutri-Serve is a “union-bust-

ing organization.” “That’s ridiculous, we aren’t some big international operation, we’re regional,” she said of the company which is headquar tered in Burling ton Township. “I respect u nions, my brother is a union electrician. We’ve been respectful to them, even offering to go into mediation, which they declined,” said Ms. Maier. “It’s up to the Union to set the date for the next talks.” Ms Maier makes no apology for being “proactive” when it comes to feeding children in a nutritious way and saving money so that more district spending can go toward education. “Look at my mission statement,” she said. “I wrote that myself and a third of it concerns our employees. This is my life. I care about children and about employees. N u t r i - S e r v e’s M i s s i o n Statement reads: “To provide nutritious, high quality food and customer service by a food service staff who model a professional attitude. They are guided by a teamwork approach to management. This results in satisfied customers and a more effective program saving taxpayers money. NutriServe Food Management is a responsive company with t he suppor t system and integrity to best meet the needs of our employees and clients.” Town Topics contacted 32 BJ representative Edith Vil-

lavicencio and received this statement from the Union’s Vice President and New Jersey State Director Kevin Brown: “Food service workers provide nourishment and a clean and safe environment for students, but they can barely feed their own families when wages don’t keep up with increasing costs. In a caring and affluent community like Princeton, why is it that food service workers must struggle to make ends meet? These hardworking men and women need a living wage, paid holidays, and benefits that allow them to provide for their families. Their children deserve a bright future just like the Princeton students they serve with pride and dedication.” Accord i ng to a u n ion spokesperson, “a fair deal has not been offered” as yet and the workers continue to hope for “a fair contract with wage increases, health insurance, and paid holidays.” Asked whether it was likely that the district would be renewing its contract with Nutri-Serve, BOE Secretary Stephanie Kennedy said that would be her recommendation to Superintendent Steve Cochrane and the Board. “New food service managing companies generally need more than one year to be settled in to a district,” she said in an email. “It is fair to allow Nutri-Serve the opportunity to return.” —Linda Arntzenius

NEW COACH ON TRACK: Olympic hopeful Rebeka Stowe has joined the faculty of The Wilberforce School as a coach and faculty aid from now until the Olympic Trials in June 2016. Ms. Stowe graduated from the University of Kansas in 2012, where she was a decorated track and cross-country runner. She was elected captain of the Kansas Jayhawks’ track and crosscountry team for two years, and she holds the school records for Distance Medley Relay, Indoor 3000m, and 3000m Steeplechase. She also served as a coach for the Jayhawks after graduation, and was a finalist in the 2012 Olympic Trials for Steeplechase. Rebeka moved to New Jersey to train with the New Jersey New York Track & Field Club in order to pursue her dream of representing the United States in the Olympics.

ON BOARD: VolunteerConnect, which partners with area corporations and business to support Central New Jersey non-profit groups, held a Meet and Greet Nonprofit Fair recently following its BoardConnect program, which trains professionals to serve effectively on the boards of area non-profit organizations.

Stuart Kimmel of the 7-Eleven company told one resident who was concerned about children crossing the street in front of the store that stop signs and a striped crosswalk are part of the plan. He assured those worried about the garbage bins that trash would be picked up two or three times a week. He also said he understands the neighbors’ concerns.

“We don’t want rodents,” he said. “That doesn’t help our business. We are not going to allow an overflow situation. We will increase the pickups if needed.” Since the early 20th century, Princeton University has owned a driveway that runs between the property and the one next door, which is owned by Lou Carnevale and most recently housed the Wild Oats market. Since a lot of foot and bicycle traffic is expected at the site, the town asked 7-Eleven to consider installing a sidewalk from Nassau Street into the site and through to the University, at the rear of the property. Planner David Cohen and resident Kip Cherry each expressed concerns about traffi c jams because of cars entering and exiting the site. The 7-Eleven would be open according to the town’s ordinance, adopted in December, that prohibits any retail establishment touching a residential zone from operating between the hours of 2 and 5 a.m. The post office would have hours between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Mailbox Parents and Members of Princeton Community Urge Board, PREA to End Contract Dispute

To the Editor: We, the undersigned, are parents and members of the Princeton community. We are writing to urge members of the Board of Education and the teacher’s union (PREA) to end the almost year-long contract dispute that has been going on between the two parties. The PREA and Board of Education will be meeting again, face to face on Thursday, March 26. They have not met face to face in months. As the participants sit down to negotiate, we ask that both sides keep in mind the values of this community when bargaining. We are ALL stakeholders in the outcome of these meetings. So many of us moved here because of the stellar reputation of the school system. Historically, it has been a district where teachers were respected for their experience and knowledge and their commitment to our children and Princeton schools. We implore both the Board of Education and the PREA to keep our children in mind during their meetings, and consider how the lack of a resolution has adversely affected them. Princeton is a community that treasures its public school system and its teachers. We want our spring activities back. This includes the Gettysburg trips, spring concerts, and AP review sessions, so that every child gets to experience the amazing opportunities that Princeton schools have to offer. A positive outcome to the negotiations can still be achieved in time to salvage the rest of the school year for all our children. We hope that both parties approach the negotiations on Thursday seeking an end and not a win.

PPS Parent Faults Both Board and Teachers For Brinksmanship When Children Are Losing

To the Editor: As a parent with children in the Princeton Public Schools I have watched with deepening concern over the past several months as the contract dispute between the School Board and PREA, the teachers union, has festered. Without a new contract, teachers are now refusing, in many cases, to conduct after-school activities they have traditionally supported. Cherished programs at the schools are in jeopardy of being cancelled or delayed for lack of teacher participation — The annual 5th grade trip to Gettysburg, this fall’s 8th grade trip to Washington, the middle school’s participation in the high school’s own Jazz Festival, to name just a few. And yet I have no understanding of specifically what the two sides

are fighting about. Nor do any of the other parents I’ve spoken with. To try to learn more I attended last week’s School Board meeting and came away utterly dismayed. My impression was of a School Board hunkering down and convinced of its positions without feeling the need to explain itself to the community. And of teachers who, in their anger, have backed themselves into a corner from which they now cannot or will not back down. With both sides seeming to be more interested in brinksmanship and ‘winning’ it is our children who are losing. I would have some sympathy for the School Board if it had done a better job articulating what the issues were at the outset. I could understand if, at a time of growing healthcare costs, expanding enrollment, and limited budget resources, they need the teachers to make certain sacrifices. But if the Board members think they have communicated what this means in practical terms, I can assure them the message has not gotten through to the people who elected them — at least none that I’ve spoken to. I would have more sympathy for the teachers too. An affluent school district like Princeton should be able to treat its teachers well and, if sacrifices are needed, it should have the courtesy to make them transparent enough for the whole community to understand and weigh against the tax increases needed to avert them before they are decided. But if the teachers thought that their refusal to support after-school activities would bring attention to their plight and pressure on the Board to end the impasse, they are also alienating many parents in the process — the very group they need support from most. So, in the end, I don’t have much sympathy for either side in this mess. But I do have growing exasperation at the inability of both sides — over the course of nearly a year of talks — to find the compromises that invariably will be needed from both the Board and PREA to reach resolution. I understand that representatives will be meeting this Thursday for direct discussions for the first time in months. I urge both sides, for the sake of the children in our schools, to COMPROMISE and REACH A LASTING AGREEMENT. If it doesn’t happen soon, the damage to our prized school system will grow exponentially. Enough damage has already been done. It needs to stop now. Cliff Birge Crooked Tree Lane

Rebutting Former Planning Board Member’s Letter Espousing “Wishes of the Majority”

To the Editor: Peter Madison’s letter [“Former Member of Planning Board Faults Frequent Lawsuits Initiated by Self Interest,” Mailbox, March 18] displays the same contempt for contrary opinion that he exhibited as a Planning Board member. According to Mr. Madison, “a foundation of democracy” is our agreement to be governed by the “wishes of the majority.” That is sophomoric nonsense. Our Constitution is distinguished by the many protections it affords minorities. Our citizens are guaranteed certain inalienable rights. Those rights extend to property. “Democracies” that function as Mr. Madison suggests devolve quickly into tyrannies. “Majority rule” is the rallying cry of the mob and the argument of despots, both of which offer unverified claims of “majority support” to justify trampling over those with opposing viewpoints. Closely related is the heretical assertion that the “golden rule” is “he who has the gold makes the rules.” Mr. Madison boasts that he and his fellow solons labor to divine the will of the “majority of Princeton residents” and to determine “what is best for the entire community.” What stunning conceit, and how utterly naive. It is far from clear that all residents should be entitled to vote on all issues, or that their votes should be equally weighed. The Master Plan, e.g., seeks to preserve the “green belt” that was formerly known as the Township. Well and

good, but should green belt residents be permitted to blight our downtown with high density fire traps that loom like vultures over established middle class neighborhoods? I don’t think so. Nor do I think that municipal officials deserve our deference when they permit historic designations to be disregarded, public assets to be turned to private use, and national monuments to be encroached upon. Does Mr. Madison not see the irony in our taxing ourselves to preserve open space, while he and his fellow [former] Planning Board members rezone Springdale Golf Course for ten story buildings? Does he not appreciate the extent to which selective enforcement of the law — in our habit of delivering spot zoning to favored constituents — is encouraging a corrosive cynicism? Yes, elected and appointed officials devote “considerable thought and time” to the affairs of our town — but they are not alone in doing so. For the rest of us, “self interest” is a motivation only to the extent of a desire to preserve, in recognizable form, a town that we consider to be special. When our municipal officials behave like tyrants or toadies, our only recourse is to litigate. What is “sad” is not the fact of our litigation but the frequent need for it — and the mismatch between shallow pocketed plaintiffs and officials who too often mistake dollars for sense.

Urging Members of Princeton Council To Pass Upcoming Plastic Bag Ordinance

To the Editor: It’s decision time for Princeton: Will we continue in the forefront of sustainability efforts throughout New Jersey, as we do now? A plastic bag ordinance will come before council soon, and I urge the members to pass it. In the November 4, 2014 election, Princeton overwhelmingly voted yea on a nonbinding referendum to ban the plastic bags distributed routinely by stores. This meant that we supported the idea and resolved to greatly reduce our use of plastic shopping bags. It was a bold, progressive decision; the only issue was that it had no teeth to it. Although many Princetonians have switched to reusable shopping bags, the majority still expect plastic bags for their purchases, and vendors are happy to oblige. Now herein comes our opportunity: Many among us are concerned about the decay of our environment, but the problem is so overwhelming that we feel powerless to change it. Plastic bags, distributed ubiquitously with almost every purchase in the United States, end up polluting the land. There they leach toxic chemicals, which end up in our bloodstream, for up to 1000 years. They pollute the oceans, killing sea animals and washing ashore our beaches. This is something we can do something about. At the estimated rate of 500 plastic bags per person, a town of our size could spare the environment about 14,500,000 bags annually, and many more towns would follow suit. Our new plastic bag ordinance, developed by Bainy Suri, environmental consultant to the Environmental Education Fund and New Jersey Environmental Lobby, among other organizations, will mandate that all stores in town charge 10 cents per plastic bag distributed. Research has shown that it is only with some sort of consequence attached that people will change their habits (in most cases up to 98 percent comply). Thus the likelihood of success of the ordinance is extremely high. We all proclaim that Princeton is a unique place, a progressive and charming, clean town where many people visit, and many people want to live. Let us continue that legacy by leading the way in sustainability and putting this ordinance in place. Suzanne Neilson McComb Road

It is a dominant force in local politics (moving the Dinky, our mayor having to recuse herself from issues concerning the University, for example), but not a dominant force in local financial support.

Letters Question Abrupt Dismissal Of Princeton’s Animal Control Officer

To the Editor: The abrupt dismissal of Mark Johnson, Princeton’s animal control officer, leaves many unanswered questions. Recent articles in local newspapers have only added to the confusion. We have lived in Princeton for many years. More than once we needed help from Mr. Johnson in dealing with wild animals on our property. He was always quick to respond to our call and to help resolve our problems. He checked any necessary containment devices daily as long as they were needed. Mark Johnson has been an asset to our community for two decades. It is difficult to imagine that he would issue a ticket unless he was exercising due diligence in carrying out the responsibilities of his job. It is not clear why he would be dismissed for issuing a ticket. It is essential for our municipal government to let the voters know what precipitated Mr. Johnson’s termination. This matter should be taken out of the hands of wellplaced friends and be addressed by the Princeton Council. Our officials must act as one for the benefit of a consolidated Princeton. They can begin by telling the public why a person with Mr. Johnson’s qualifications and outstanding work record was dismissed based on seemingly inappropriate influence on local officials. Mark Johnson should be reinstated as Animal Control Officer. Barbara K. Brandt, Gunter M. Krauthamer Longview Drive Editor’s Note: This is one of several letters supporting Mr. Johnson.

District Approves Tentative Budget, Tax Hike, Pending County Approval T h e P r i n c e to n P u b l i c Schools Board of Education ( BOE) voted last week to approve a tentative budget for the 2015-16 school year that would raise the property tax levy by approximately 2.4 percent, in spite of the state-mandated two percent budget cap. The vote was unanimous. “T he budget’s notable bright spots are no reductions to staff or programs because this year we qualif y for t wo waivers that give statutory permission to increase taxes exceeding the two percent cap,” said Board President A ndrea Spalla, who thanked Business Administrator Stephanie Kennedy for her work on the “complex balancing act” that is the schools budget. The district is eligible for the two state-approved waivers as a result of increased healthcare costs and rising enrollment. The health benefit waiver amounts to $413,110 and the rising enrollment waiver of some $1.7 million. The district last qualified for the health waiver in 2011-12 and was able to exceed the two percent cap that year also. The additional amount raised would be used to support health benefits for all district staff. While the enrollment waiver would have allowed the district to raise the entire $1.7 million this first year, the BOE chose to spread the waiver over the course of the next three years. This year roughly one third of the $1.7 million would be raised through the eligible cap adjustment and used for textbooks, computers, and to hire four new teachers at

the high school. It is anticipated that 60 students will be added at the high school alone and the increase districtwide is expected to be about 100 students. The tentative budget has yet to be reviewed by the Executive County Superintendent of Schools and may yet be revised before a final vote is taken after a public budget hearing on April 28. It proposes a total expenditure for the district of $89,668,832; taxes to be raised amount to $73,339,567, up from $71,629,433 f r o m l a s t year. As a result, the owner of a home assessed at the tow n average of around $800,560 would see an annual increase in school taxes of around $179. School taxes comprise a portion of homeowners’ tax bill. Public Session At last week’s meeting t h ere were s u r pr is i ngly few comments on the budget. Most of the individuals who came to the podium to speak during the public session addressed the ongoing teacher contract negotiations and urged the Board and the teachers to reach a resolution prior to the end of the school year. The BOE has been embroiled in ongoing negotiations with the teachers’s union Princeton Regional Education Association (PREA) since their contract expired at the end of the 2013-14 school year. Both sides have been working with state-appointed mediator Kathleen Vogt since last December. On Febr uar y 17, t hey

had a fourth session with Ms. Vogt, who has advised confidentiality throughout the process. A fifth session with Ms. Vogt is scheduled for April 9. In the interim, both sides have agreed to meet face to face without mediat ion on T hurs day, March 26. Perhaps responding to past accusations of intransigence on the part of the Board with respect to its negotiations with the teachers’s union, Board President Andrea Spalla said “Nothing is set in stone, the Board hasn’t drawn a line in the sand beyond which it refuses to budge, we are ready to work. She spoke of “compromise” and “positive steps that will lead us to a resolution.” At last week’s meeting the Board was again criticized for what one individual described as its “lengthy inaction.” One parent, however, said that she was saddened by the “vitriol” against the Board. “This isn’t Princeton at its best,” she said, pointing out that, “they were elected by us and they deserve respect and commendation for the unpaid job that they do.” The next meeting of the Board of Education w ill be Tuesday, April 28, at 8 p.m. Members of the public have just under five weeks to review and comment on the budget before it is finalized. Ms. Spalla has said that she, Mr. Cochrane, Ms. Kennedy and individual Board members would “welcome input from the public via email” in advance of their final budget vote. —Linda Arntzenius

MARKING LOCAL HISTORY: George Frisbie captured the Southbound Trolley at North Main and Delaware in this vintage print from the collection of the Hopewell Valley Historical Society’s George H. Frisbie Collection that will be on display in the exhibition, “Pennington Comes of Age” at the Pennington School’s Silva Gallery of Art from March 27 through April 25. There will be a special reception Wednesday, April 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibition is part of the 125th anniversary of the incorporation of Pennington Borough and features vintage images from 1890 to 1915. Silva Gallery hours are: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; or by appointment. For more information, call Gallery Director Dolores Eaton at (609) 737-4133.

Historic Photography Shines in Show Marking Pennington’s 125th Anniversary An exhibition of historic photographs from the Hopewell Valley Historical Society’s George H. Frisbie Collection goes on show at The Pennington School’s Silva Gallery of Art Friday, March 27. “Pennington Comes of Age,” will run through April 25 and there will be a special reception on Wednesday, April 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. Curated by Jack Koeppel, the Historical Society’s archivist, the exhibition is part of the 125th anniversary of the incorporation of Pennington Borough and features vintage images from the first twentyfi ve years of the Borough’s incorporation, 1890–1915. During these years George Frisbie, who had grown up in a family-run business on South Main Street, captured the world around him through the view-finder of his big wooden camera. His images not only document people and places, but record many of the changes that took place over this span of time. Descendants of Mr. Frisbie still reside in Penning-

ton Borough, and in 1986 Alice Frisbie and her daughter, Mary Thornton, donated eight hundred negatives to the Historical Society. The images selected for the exhibition will be accompanied by narratives written by Society historians Larry Kidder, Jack Davis, and David Blackwell. Areas in the display will discuss changes in architecture, transportation, and technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Images of the railroad, street railways, and horseless carriages will be accompanied by quotations and information gleaned from early newspapers and artifacts in the Society’s Archive of Hopewell Valley History. Many of the photographs are being exhibited for the first time, including some showing impor tant local Pennington residents such as Joseph Thompson, the fl ag crossing guard, and Charles Hendrickson, the town’s lamp-lighter. Penning ton B orough Council Member Catherine

“Kit” Chandler and former Councilman Edwin Weed Tucker co-chair the Pennington 125th Anniversary Committee, which welcomes volunteers, sponsors, and patrons. For more information contact Borough Administrator Eileen Heinzel at (609) 737-0276 or eheinzel @penningtonboro.org. The committee is working with other community organizations to plan events throughout the year. For the latest information, visit: www.pennington125.org or visit Pennington 125 on Facebook. Founded in 1838, The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6 through 12, in both day and boarding programs. “Pennington Comes of Age” will be on view at The Pennington School’s Silva Gallery of Art Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; or by appointment. All events and exhibitions at the Silva Gallery are free and open to the public. For more information, call Gallery Director Dolores Eaton at (609) 7374133.

INSPIRED BY BEETHOVEN: John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) eighth grader Marcelino Guevara, who moved to Princeton from Puebla, Mexico, last year stands next to his artwork titled “Ave Musical,” which he created after he attended a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, performed by the Princeton Symphony Orchestra last fall as part of the Orchestra’s Bravo! Series. “It was beautiful,” said Marcelino of the concert, the first he has attended. The young artist taught himself how to draw from a book and was encouraged to express his personal artistic response by JWMS art teacher Claudia Luongo. The work is on view in the Arts Council of Princeton exhibition, “Beethoven’s Form and Function,” through April 9.

The Galler y at Chapin School on Princeton Pike will present an exhibition of paintings by William Hogan titled “Between Here and Somewhere” from April 1 through April 30. A reception for the artist will be held on Wednesday, April 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. Ac c or d i n g to a pr e s s release, Mr. Hogan is “a painter who views a blank two dimensional canvas and ponders [how] he can transform it in a positive way using colors and shapes and imagination.”

“I am always looking to capture a spirit in my paintings. I’m not really searching for it; it rises to the surface as I continue to tie together the various elements of the composition.” The artist attended the University of Maryland and later graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City with a certificate in illustration. He was drafted into the U.S. Army and spent two years in San Antonio, Texas as an illustrator. During his off time, he painted the local scene and won a number of local and Texas

State awards, plus first place in the All U.S. Army World Wide competition. Upon completion of his service, Mr. Hogan used his G.I. Bill educational benefit to attend and graduate from The University of the Americas in Mexico with an MFA degree in painting. He has been the illustrator/cartoonist for The Record newspaper in Hackensack, N.J. for 26 years. “I draw many sketches from which all of my paintings blossom,” Hogan said. “I juxtapose images, place them out of context, twist perspective, distort shapes, etc. They make more sense to me in this way than merely recording what I see. I like ideas that will make me think, feel, touch, look, and even hear what is emerging. There is no narrative in my paintings, but there is a symbolic spirit and truthfulness that creates a feeling of narrative expression.” Mr. Hogan has had many exhibitions in Mexico, New Mexico, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and has participated in many juried exhibitions locally and nationally, most recently at The Trenton City Museum and at the Lawrenceville School. “Creating a painting has always been a magical, challenging, and exciting journey. The painting grows like a colorful flower, and I grow with it,” said the artist. Chapin School is located at 4101 Princeton Pike. To view the exhibition during school hours by appointment, call (609) 924-7206. For more information, contact Sharon Gomberg, gallery coordinator, at (609) 924-7206, or sgomberg @ chapinschool.org.

T he B er nstein G aller y at t he Woodrow Wilson School presents the exhibition “Mary Beth Edelson: Feminist Humor as Political Device” from March 28 through May 7. There will be a public reception at the Gallery Monday April 13, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Internationally recognized as a pioneer of Feminist art, Ms. Edelson’s social and political activism began in the 1960s and continues today. Her artwork comes in various media: painting, prints, s c u l p t u r e , p h o to - b a s e d work, video, and performance. This exhibition focuses on her drawings and prints. Ms. Edelson’s art has been described as “provocative.” With sassy wit, she visually “re-writes” Hollywood scripts. She appropriates images of actresses such as Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, and Mae West, changing their context to present them as wily, independent women. Her “Young Judy Garland” series depicts the actress as a caricature of herself with a large head and small body sur rounded by text that urges women to challenge the male authority in their lives. Ms. Edelson’s work has been featured in more than 90 books and widely reviewed in the United States and abroad. Among others, it is in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum in New York; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago; the Detroit Institute of Art; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Seattle Museum of Art; as well as Sweden’s Malmo Museum and Austria’s Sammlung Verbund in Vienna.

In D&R Greenway Exhibition

Illustrations by Michael Graves Architecture & Design will be among the art exhibited in D&R Greenway Land Trust’s exhibition “Coexisting Structures: Artists, Architects, and Nature,” on view in the Marie L. Matthews Galleries of the Johnson Education Center from March 30 through May 29. There will be an Artists’ Reception Friday, April 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. “We want to create a conversation about the built environment and the surrounding landscape, and how we work together to preserve these,” said D&R Greenway president and CEO Linda J. Mead. “We can make smart choices about how to build and how to maintain connecting land parcels.” Curator Diana Moore chose the theme to highlight ways in which artists incorporate architectural elements into their work, and to reveal artistic processes through which architects create. The impact of nature on their designs is a key aspect of this show. The exhibition features architectural designs by Ford

3 Architects LLC, Michael Graves Architecture & Design, the New Jersey Barn Company, Studio Hillier, and Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design. Ms. Moore has also selected the work of trained architects who bring their professional expertise into fine art, including Marina Ahun, Fred Diseroad, George Donovan, Richard Farmer, and Robert Kear. In addition, the exhibit features work by artists Susan Hockaday and Bill Hoo and geologist Jonathan Wells who each use architectural elements in their work. “Co-existing Structures” includes a new work by Marina Ahun, commissioned for D&R Greenway, picturing children at play in a garden

at the Johnson Education Center. Titled “Now and for the Future,” the watercolor celebrates D&R Greenway’s mission to preserve and care for land and inspire a conservation ethic, now and for the future. “Nature and wise development go hand in hand when builders and preservation organizations work together,” commented Ms. Moore. “This exhibition honors the art in architecture and architecture as art.” Admission to the artists’ reception is free but guests are requested to register at (609) 924-4646 or rsvp@ drgreenway.org. The Johnson Education Center is located at One Preservation Place, Princeton.

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Dance will present dance performance lab showcasing new choreography created by five Princeton students on Thursday and Friday, March 26 and 27 at 7 p.m. in the Patricia and Ward Hagan ’48 Dance Studio. Each performance will be followed by a discussion. The event is free and open to the public. The Program in Dance, led by award-winning choreographer Susan Marshall, offers Princeton undergraduates a wide range of opportunities in dance. Students can enroll in a single course, pursue a certifi cate in dance (similar to a minor), or participate in co-curricular classes. Studio-based courses taught by dance professionals range from modern and contemporary to ballet, to experimental, urban and African dance. Dance performance lab provides an opportunity for student choreographers to develop their artistry with a faculty mentor. Through oneon-one meetings over the past several months, students have looked at the ways that structure, intent, and theatrical elements can support their movement creation. The independent student dance projects showcased at this event are the product of this mentored creative process. The work to be performed in dance performance lab represents a diverse array of choreographic genres inspired by a wide variety of themes. Junior Bri White, whose work includes his own black and white drawings, is a visual arts major who seeks to integrate visual arts methods and ways of thinking into his choreography. The piece by junior Sophia Andreassi grows out of a paragraph of a Jean-Paul Sartre book she was reading for a French class. The work by senior Glenna Yu has its roots in a course she took last fall with Marshall and Princeton Arts Fellow and graphic artist Danielle Aubert. Dancing on Camera. In this piece a dancer moves in dialogue with a projected image of herself. Original music for her piece has been composed by a fellow student. The work of Ireneo Cabreros, a graduate student in applied mathematics, is inspired by developmental movement patterns in animals. He is an apprentice with the Brooklyn-based dance company Gallim Dance. A work

questions she encountered while working on a play with other students. Her piece examines three different ways a performer can shape his or her own visual attention to affect an audience’s perception of their intentions. For more information, visit http://arts.princeton.edu. ———

“Timbuktu” and Sub-Saharan African Filmmaker at Lewis

The Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University presents an evening of film and conversation with award-winning director Abderrahmane Sissako, part of the John Sacret Young ’69 Lecture Series. The evening will include a screening of the award-winning feature fi lm, Timbuktu, about jihadists arriving in northern Mali in 2012, shattering the peaceful lives of the local inhabitants, followed by a discussion with the director and a reception. Timbuktu was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or in the main competition section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. at the Princeton Garden Theatre, located at 160 Nassau Street. The event is free and open to the public but tickets must be reserved in advance. Abderrahmane Sissako was born in Kiffa, Mauritania, in 1961 and raised in Mali, his father’s homeland. When he returned to Mauritania in 1980, the emotional and financial difficulties of adjustment led him to turn to literature and fi lm. A study grant allowed him to attend the Institute of the University of Moscow. Le Jeu (1989), first presented as a graduation assignment, won the prize for best short fi lm at the Giornate del Cinema Africano of Perugia in 1991. In 1993, October was shown at Locarno and won prizes the world over. His film Waiting for Happiness was screened at Cannes 2002 and was winner of the FIPRESCI award for best film in the Un certain regard section. It was also shown at the New York Film Festival in 2002 and won the Grand Prize at FESPACO in 2003. The overtly political Bamako (2006) represents a move away from autobiography, but the explicit subject of Bamako had been the implicit themes of his other films: the legacy of colonialism and the lopsided relationship between the first and third worlds.

Verdi’s “Requiem” at Richardson Auditorium

The Princeton University Orchestra and Princeton University Glee Club will perform Verdi’s Requiem on Friday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall. Conducted by Maestro

Michael Pratt, the orchestra and Glee Club will be under the direction of Gabriel Crouch. Joining the ensembles for this performance as soloists are Tiffany Abban, soprano; Katherine Lerner, mezzo-soprano; Anthony Kalil, tenor; and Wayne Tigges, bass-baritone. The Requiem has been beloved by audiences and performers since its premiere in Milan in 1874. A setting of the Roman Catholic mass for the dead, the work explores the full range of human emotions in a style as dramatic as any of Verdi’s operas, blending arias and ensembles with towering choral movements. Speaking about the program Maestro Pratt says: “There is no more dramatic work in the entire canon of Western music, and no more vivid setting of the Requiem text. Often referred to as ‘Verdi’s greatest opera’ the Requiem is a thrilling experience that our students and their audience will long remember.” Glee Club alumni will augment the ranks of the choir, in addition to members of several local ensembles including the Princeton University Chamber Choir, the William Trego Singers, and the Kinnara Ensemble. General admission is $15 ($5 students with proof of ID). To pre-order, call (609) 258-9220 or visit www.princeton.edu/utickets.

A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY

Shailene Woodley Excels as Heroine of Satisfying Sequel

minds the government cannot control. Consequently at the end of the original movie, the headstrong rebel ends up orphaned and roaming the streets with her fellow non-conforming outcasts. Insurgent picks up where Divergent left off, but with more intensity and more visually captivating special effects. At the point of departure, we find Tris on the run with her boyfriend Four (Theo James), her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort), and Peter Hayes (Miles Teller). The fugitives are being sought by Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the maniacal Erudite leader who has seized control of the city by commandeering the Dauntless warrior class. The despot has declared martial law until all threats to her power have been neutralized. Meanwhile, Tris and her compatriots continue to elude apprehension while simultaneously searching for a sacred talisman that was hidden by Tris’s late mother (Ashley Judd). The ancient artifact is rumored to contain an important message from Chicago’s founding fathers. However, the box can only be accessed by a Divergent who succeeds in surviving an ordeal that tests for all five of the commonwealth’s designated virtues. Although it’s obvious that Tris is bright, fearless, and altruistic; she could perish while trying to prove herself a pacifist and truthful. Fans of the source material will undoubtedly be surprised by this complicated challenge that wasn’t in the book. Nevertheless, the seamlessly interwoven plot device works in terms of ratcheting up the tension. The film features a supporting cast that includes Oscar winners Kate Winslet and Octavia Spencer, and nominee Naomi Watts; along with effective performances from Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Zoe Kravitz, and Miles Teller. However, Insurgent is a Shailene Woodley movie from beginning to end. Very Good (★★★). Rated PG-13 for THE NON-CONFORMIST DIVERGENTS ARE FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES: Tris (Shailene sensuality, pervasive violence, intense Woodley, left), her boyfriend Four (Theo James, center), and her brother Caleb (Ansel action, mature themes, and brief proElgort) are being hunted down by Jeanine (Kate Winslet, not shown) who is seizing fanity. Running time: 119 minutes. Discontrol of the city, but has not succeeded in controlling the handful of Divergents who tributor: Lions Gate Films. pose a threat to her dictatorship.

nsurgent is the second in the series of screen adaptations that are based on Veronica Roth’s blockbuster Divergent trilogy. This movie is a rarity for a cinematic sequel because it’s actually better than the first episode. In case you’re unfamiliar with the series’ basic premise, the post-apocalyptic science fiction story is set amidst the crumbling ruins of a walled-in Chicago where what’s left of humanity has been divided into five factions based on their personality types: Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave), and Erudite (the intelligent). Our heroine, Tris (Shailene Woodley) was deemed a threat to society after testing positive for several of the aforementioned qualities, since that makes her a Divergent, one of the handful of nonconformists whose

Sophia Rose Designs Showroom in Pennington Offers Variety of Kitchen and Bathroom Displays

isa Sprag ue, ow ner of Sophia Rose Designs, is embarked on a new adventure. In 2014, she purchased the longtime Saums Interiors business in Hopewell, and looking to put her own stamp on the operation, re-located it to Pennington.

IT’S NEW To Us

“All my previous experience came together so I could take advantage of this opportunity,” explains the area resident. “I had spent 15 years working on various interior design projects and kitchen and bathroom remodels, including designing and coordinating numerous projects, from powder rooms to house additions to outdoor living space. I felt the timing was right to establish my own business.” S o, las t O c tob er, Ms. Sprag ue opened S ophia Rose Designs, named for her t wo daughters, at 1 Tree Farm Road, located in a small shopping center on Route 31 North in Pennington. The focus of her new business is kitchen and bathroom design, and she has assembled a professional team, including interior designer Barbara Shearn, as well as builders, contractors, and sub-contractors. Staying Put Ms. Sprague has a home contracting license, and coordinating the projects and working closely with clients is her specialty. “I’m the project manager. I work with the clients and coordinate everything from begin-

ning to end, and I develop a strong, close relationship with the client.” Homeowners are often opting to stay put and upgrade their existing space rather than move, she adds. Kitchens and bathrooms are especially popular remodels, and very important in terms of resale if the clients decide to sell later. “Many people are remodeling instead of moving today. People are enjoying being home and entertaining at home,” points out Ms. Sprague. “Upgrades and new additions are very popular. The kitchen is the heart of the home. People just like to congregate there, and you want it to be warm, welcoming, and functional. Also, some of our clients are serious cooks, and it is important to them how things are arranged. We talk about this in the planning stages.” Indeed, Ms. Sprague spends a lot of time with clients determining their life-style and the extent of time spent in the kitchen and their likes and dislikes. “We offer a full range of design and decorating services, from planning and drafting to shopping and decorating. Lots of things are in fashion now, and it can be eclectic. For example, I’ve just been working on a kitchen with a rustic f loor and contemporar y cabinets. “Also, there’s a new floor product, which is ceramic but looks like hardwood. It’s great for the kitchen or bath. You don’t have the problem of constantly having to wipe up any water that has dripped on the floor.” Traditional Look “Both traditional and con-

temporary styles are favored now, and you also see a transitional look, that is, a combination of both styles.” Ms. Sprague notes that she continuously researches the latest advances in kitchen and bathroom design and products. “There are many, many wonder ful choices today in cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, and also in paint, wallpaper, and window treatments.” Both light and dark cabinets are popular, with maple wood cabinets a real favorite in the kitchen. “You can do so much with maple — paint, stain, and glaze,” she explains. For countertops, granite is very popular both for its look and durability. Others include marble (especially for the bathroom), quartz, and Corian, as well as laminate. In the case of backsplashes, which are so important in the kitchen, tile is always in demand, and other choices are granite and wood. Among the cabinet lines available at Sophia Rose Designs are Kraftmaid Kitchen Cabinets and New River Kitchen Cabinets; in addition, Stanley Furniture, Sherrill Furniture, Robert Allen Fabrics, and Thibaut Wallpaper are offered. Open and Spacious Islands are a big item in many kitchens these days. “Many clients like to have an island,” points out Ms. Sprague. “They are so useful. You can do whatever you want with them. They can be used for storage, as a cooktop, or dining area — whatever you want.” Kitchen design, as well as design generally in houses today, often focuses on an open, more spacious mo-

Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentistry Offered by Prosthodontics of Princeton

missing tooth or teeth? A damaged, fractured, or worn tooth? Teeth looking a little “gray”? If you can identify with any of these situations, Prosthodontics of Princeton may be able to restore that million dollar smile. Located in Princeton Professional Park at 601 Ewing Street, it is the practice of Dr. Steven C. Isaacson, D.M.D. and Dr. Suzanne B. Reinhardt, D.M.D. Dr. Isaacson, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry, is continuing the practice started by his father, Dr. George Isaacson in the 1960s. After a one-year general practice residency at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Steven Isaacson went on to obtain specialty training in prosthodontics at Temple University School of Dentistry, with an emphasis on reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry. He then joined his father’s practice in 1988. Restoration And Replacement Dr. Reinhardt, a graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, joined Prosthodontics of Princeton in 2004, after extensive training in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry, including post graduate spe-

cialty training at the Manhattan campus of VA NY Harbor Health Care System. Prosthodontics are dentists who specialize in the aesthetic restoration and replacement of teeth. Two or three years of additional training after dental school are required, where the dentists are educated in state-of-the-art techniques and procedures for treating many different dental conditions. These include crowns, bridges, complete and removable partial dentures, dental implants, TMJ-jaw joint problems, traumatic injuries to the mouth’s structure and/ or teeth, and snoring or sleep disorders. “Teeth can have problems due to extensive cavities or periodontal conditions, or injuries,” explains Dr. Isaacson. “Also, sometimes people have grinding or clenching problems, which can wear down teeth or cause TMJ. We do a full mouth evaluation and come up with a treatment plan with a number of different options.” One of the major advances in dentistry has been the growing emphasis on implants, he adds. “Implants began in numbers in the 1980s, and this was a total change. Before that, bridges and dentures were used to replace missing teeth.” Root implants are the most

widely used type of implants, and can provide a base for a single tooth or support a bridge or a denture, he explains. They are close in size to a natural tooth. Implants are inserted into the jawbone, and offer stability because the bone grows onto the implant, and once the fusion has occurred, it will allow for more natural and comfortable substitutes for lost teeth than dentures or bridges. Candidates for implants must have healthy gums and adequate jaw bone to support the implant, points out Dr. Reinhardt. “We now offer ‘Teeth In A Day’. In some cases, we can provide extraction and the implants in one day. It is exciting and really on the cutting edge.” Brighter Smile Another important part of the Prosthodontics of Princeton practice, and increasingly popular, is teeth whitening. Many people are looking for a brighter smile these days, and are opting either for over the counter products to do the job or the more thorough and professional procedure a dentist can provide. Whitening will remove surface stains, due to coffee, red wine, berries, and the passage of the years, notes Dr. Isaacson. “We evaluate a patient to see if whitening is appropriate. For example,

TEAM WORK: “Sometimes, interior design can be an intimidating process, and people don’t know what to expect. At Sophia Rose Designs, our clients are very important, and they can count on us to help them. We are there for them, and are glad to take on all kinds and sizes of projects.” The Sophia Rose Designs team includes from left: Carly Tipton, owner Lisa Sprague, Sally Wood, and Barbara Shearn. tif. Residents are opting for an uninterrupted flow from room to room. “A more open feeling is popular today,” observes Ms. Sprague. “One way to make existing space more effective is to take down a wall.” The bathrooms of today are a far cry from those of years past. “Bells and whistles” abound, with choices galore. Lighting, cabinetry, countertops, and especially, the variety of showers offer customers tremendous variety. “In the bathroom, we see a pull away from jacuzzis now,” reports Ms. Sprague. “Showers are very important today, with a lot of frameless models with more glass, and a big variety of shower heads, including waterfalls, cascades, and sprays.” Helping the client to find the best kitchen or bathroom within their budget is a priority for Ms. Sprague. “Budget is a number one concern, and the cost of labor and materials a major factor. I help them select something only original teeth can change color, not crowns. Whitening can produce great results. We follow the ADA guide lines, and we have not experienced any harmful side effects.” He adds that whitening is not generally done on patients under college age. Dr. Isaacson and Dr. Reinhardt emphasize that they participate in continuing education to keep up with the latest advances in their field. “We attend education classes once a month. There are changes and advances in materials, techniques, implants, and medicine, etc. There are so many new materials coming along to help teeth to be strong and beautiful.” Porcelain veneers (laminates), and bonding are just some of the possibilities available today to keep a smile looking great. Both Dr. Isaacson and Dr. Reinhardt look forward to continuing to help patients achieve the best outcome for their dental needs They do all they can to provide a comfortable and relaxed environment, and are pleased to have a very strong patient base. “Some of our patients are referred to us by general dentists, and we are very proud that most patients have been referred by other patients. We have a very loyal following.” All Ages Although the specialty at Prosthodontics of Princeton is reconstructive and cos-

within their price range. By the way, if you want to make a change with the least cost, it’s by painting. “I like to work with the customers so much. I like to help make them happy, and I love winning their trust when they see we’re going in the right direction. The finished product is very important to us, and we’re involved every step of the way.” Room Settings “It is also very important for me to have good people working with me,” continues Ms. Sprague. “I am only as good as the team, and we have a great team at Sophia Rose Designs.” The attractive showroom offers a variety of room settings, and many samples, including wallpaper and window treatments, for customers to inspect. There is also a selection of retail items, focusing on home accessories, as varied as candles, lamps, and rugs. “We plan to add a lot more merchandise, including art-

work, dinner ware, etc.,” says Ms. Sprague. “We will also be offering Le Cadeaux Melamine dinnerware, appropriate for indoor or outdoor dining.” Selected items are on sale, she adds, and Sophia Rose Designs also offers “Buy the Look” options, including accent furniture, artwork, mirrors, lamps, and design ideas to help customers plan their own room settings. “For clients, a new bath or kitchen can be a dream come-true,” points out Ms. Sprague. “For us, every day is a new adventure. Nothing is really the same — different projects and different people. I am looking forward to establishing our business in the area. This is a great location, very busy, with a lot of walk-in traffic. We are sure people will enjoy visiting our showroom.” Sophia Rose Designs is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 to 5. (609) 730-4171. Website: www.sophiarose designs.net.

We really help to make people over, and it’s about trust. I try to explain about the procedure and help the

patient become knowledgeable about what is happening. I feel a real closeness with them, and we can truly make a difference in their lives.

Historic Run Comes to End for PU Women’s Hoops, But 31-1 Team’s Legacy Unaffected by NCAA Loss

f there was any doubt that the Princeton University women’s basketball team had captured the imagination of those far and near with its 30-0 regular season, the scene at the XFINITY Center in College Park, Md. last Saturday gave conclusive proof of the team’s impact. As eighth-seeded Princeton faced No. 9 Wisconsin-Green Bay in the first round of the NCAA tournament, the eyes of the nation were on the 30-0 Tigers. The game was televised on ESPN2 and President Obama, whose niece, Leslie Robinson, is a freshman player on Princeton, was on hand in the sixth row behind the Tiger bench. A raucous horde of orange clad Princeton fans in attendance made the gym feel like Jadwin south. Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart acknowledged that the scene made her a bit nervous. “I think people are really rooting for us; that added some pressure for me,” said Banghart, whose team produced the best regular season record in Ivy League hoops history, men’s or women’s. “I know this is a really good story and I didn’t want it to end. In the NCAA tournament, a tough couple of possessions can end it. I think this has become America’s team and it is a great team to root for because they are made of the right people.” In the first half, the 13th-ranked Tigers had some shaky possessions, making 12 turnovers and giving up some layups as Green Bay took a 35-34 lead at halftime. “I don’t think that we played so well in the first half but instead of those guys getting in a shell and saying we were missing a great opportunity, they just got better and that was what they have done all year,” said Banghart. Playing sharper at both ends of the court, the Tigers pulled away to an 80-70 win over the Phoenix, earning the first NCAA tourney win in program history and just the second ever for an Ivy women’s team.

The Princeton supporters on hand, including a beaming President Obama, were in an uproar as the Tigers closed in on the historic win. “To think of how many people were there supporting us, all the way from our Princeton administration to our alums who so badly wanted to win in their years, it was a home game for us,” said Banghart, who got 20 points from junior Michelle Miller in the win with junior Annie Tarakchian contributing 19 points and 17 rebounds and classmate Alex Wheatley adding 15 points and 10 rebounds. “Today Princeton was here in full effect and that was really special, that is a really great college basketball environment for women’s basketball. To draw that many home-based fans is special. I am a proud coach and I am really happy for these kids. At Princeton, you are part of something and we felt like we were part of something really special today.” Princeton senior guard Blake Dietrick and her teammates were determined to make the Tiger fans happy with a big second half. “I think we came out with an attitude of OK we have got our feet wet, we know we are in this game, we know we can win this game,” said Dietrick, recalling the team’s mindset at halftime. “We know we can play a lot better than we did in that first half. We were smiling, we were happy, we were good. We were ready to play the game we love. I just think that change really helped us. Miller, for her part, fed off the support from the stands. “We had great energy from our fans,” said Miller. “It just got me more excited to play this game. I think anytime you have the president in your fan base, you automatically win that contest.” For Banghart, who had been winless in eight previous appearances in the NCAA, four times as a player and assistant coach at Dartmouth before four trips as head coach

of the Tigers from 2010-13, the triumph was an exciting breakthrough. “This means a lot because it is something that we will remember forever,” said Banghart. “Those kids in the locker room will always have a win in a tournament game. I have been a fan of the NCAA tournament forever and I will always be. To have an opportunity to be someone who is able HOLDING COURT: Princeton University women’s basketball head to bring our team to the second round of the NCAA tournament coach Courtney Banghart stares out at the court during a game is a highlight.

As the Princeton University women’s basketball team prepared for its NCAA first round contest against Wisconsin-Green Bay last Saturday, Michelle Miller wasn’t up to par. “I had a fever on and off this week,” said Princeton junior guard Miller, a 5’10 native of Pasadena, Calif. “Yesterday I felt better so I practiced.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Cour t ney B anghar t was concerned that she might not have Miller for the clash between the eighth-seeded Tigers and the ninth-seeded Phoenix at College Park, Md. “Michelle was a scratch until about 12 hours ago; we have our team doctor here with us and our trainer and I am never happy when both of them are working more than I am,” said Banghart of Miller, a Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence winner who aspires to be a doctor. “She was going through some weird viruses and flus and things. We are a little beat up in that respect.”

Once on the court Saturday at the XFINITY Center, Miller was ready to get to work. “I wasn’t feeling sick or anything like that,” said Miller. “I got tired a little faster than usual.” Miller’s shooting made Green Bay feel ill in the first half as she hit on 6-of-10 shots in the first half, including 3-of-3 from three-point range, to score 15 points and keep Princeton alive in a contest which saw the Tigers trailing 35-34 at halftime. “I was just trying to come out aggressive,” said Miller, reflecting on her first half performance. “If I have an open look for a three I am going to take it. The threes were going in today.” The shots started going in more frequently for Princeton in the final 20 minutes of the game as the Tigers pulled away to an 80-70 victory to earn the first NCAA tourney win in program history, improving to 31-0 in the process. In the second half, Miller turned her focus to defense, getting switched to cover Green Bay’s Mehryn Kraker, who had burned Princeton for 12 points in the first 20 minutes of the contest. “She scored a lot for them in the the first half so I was just trying to limit her a little bit,” said Miller of Kraker, who cooled off a bit in the second half and ended up with 21 points. “She still got a couple of

more 3s. I was mad, I hit the ball with my hand on one pass and it still went right to her. I just tried to limit her shot, I know that she is one of the key shooters.” In reflecting on the keys to the Princeton win, Miller cited more intensity at both ends of the court. “We just had breakdowns in the first half on a couple of easy ones on some fast br e a k s a n d s om e b ackdoors, things we don’t normally give up,” said Miller, who scored a team-high 20 points on the afternoon. “I think just locking that down and then offensively I think getting the ball inside. Wheatie (Alex Wheatley) stepped up a lot in the second half, (Annie Tarakchian) shot well and played well in the second half too. Different people stepped up for us in different parts of the game. Blake (Dietrick) h it t i n g h e r f r e e t h r ows down the stretch. It reflects that we do have the kind of people who can step up for us.” Winning a game in the NCAA tournament is something Miller will never forget. “It is really incredible, this has been our goal for a long time,” said a grinning Miller, an honorable mention All-Ivy League player this season who averaged 11.9 points a game. “Going back to my freshman year, when coach has you fill out your preseason goal sheet, it is what are

your team goals, it is win a tournament game. Now I am a junior and we have finally checked that one off the list.” Coach Banghart, for her part, knew she could count on Miller for an incredible effor t once she took the court on Saturday. “She battled through it as I knew she would; it is a great opportunity,” said Banghart. “When your best shooter is willing to defend with toughness you become a good team. We asked Michelle to get better on the defensive end and she has done that.” The win on Saturday fulfilled Banghart’s vision for Miller and her classmates when they joined the program. “She talked about our senior class when we were freshmen as being key in terms of getting us to the tournament,” recalled Miller, who had two points and eight rebounds last Monday as Princeton’s historic run came to an end with an 8570 loss to top-seeded and host Maryland. “She wanted our class to be the key in terms of taking the next step and actually having some success in the tournament and we got one today.” —Bill Alden MILLER’S TIME: Princeton University women’s basketball player Michelle Miller fights around a defender in recent action. Last Saturday, junior guard Miller contributed a team-high 20 points to help eighth-seeded Princeton defeat ninth-seeded Wisconsin-Green Bay 80-70 in the first round of the NCAA tournament at College Park, Md. and improve to 31-0. It marked IS ON the first-ever win in the NCAA tourney for No. 13 Princeton, which saw its dream season come to an end with an 85-70 loss to top-seeded Maryland last Monday.

Displaying Grit in Pulling Out Another 1-Goal Win, No. 10 PU Men’s Lacrosse Edges No. 11 Yale 11-10 When Princeton University men’s lacrosse head coach Chris Bates reviewed the tape of his team’s game against Yale last Saturday, he saw plenty of room for improvement. “When we looked at the film, we saw that we didn’t execute well anywhere on the field,” said Bates. “There are lessons there. We struggled facing off, they have always been good there. We got out groundballed and there was some suspect offense.” But while Bates didn’t like the video, he was pleased with what he saw on the field as Princeton pulled out an 11-10 win over the Bulldogs. “To come away with a win against Yale, we are thrilled,” said Bates, whose team improved to 6-1 overall and 2-0 Ivy League with the triumph. “That is a talented team that beat a very good Maryland team earlier.” In Bates’ view, his team’s come-from-behind 12-11 at Rutgers on March 17 helped set the tone for the effort against Yale.

“We knew they were going in to be a handful and they were,” said Bates, referring to Rutgers, which led Princeton 8-5 at halftime of the annual local showdown. “We demonstrated some poise. At halftime, we don’t want to bark but we reminded them of some fundamental things. We played a workmanlike second half, Mike (MacDonald) got hot and that was impor tant. We remained even-keeled. There is a quiet confidence about this team; they continue to play hard in crucial moments and execute.” Predictably, there were some crucial moments in the Yale game as it marked the sixth straight regular season one-goal decision in the series. Although Princeton outscored Yale 5-1 in the second quarter to take a 7-4 lead at halftime, Bates had a feeling things would tighten up. “We were able to pull away a little in the second but we let them back in the game,” said Bates. “They keep possession w it h face - of fs and t hey

ZACH ATTACK: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Zach Currier looks for an opening in recent action. Last Saturday, sophomore midfielder Currier contributed two assists and three ground balls to help Princeton edge Yale 11-10.

were able to get that run. We are still young defensively. Yale makes you pay but our group kept after it. Eric (Sanschagrin) made a couple of saves.” The Princeton group is showing an encouraging propensity for coming through in tight contests. “G et ting t wo one - goal wins in a week helps you grow up,” said Bates, whose team went 2-7 in one goal games the last two years. “We are learning how to win close games and that only comes with experience.” Senior midfielder and sole team captain Kip Orban is growing into a force, scoring four goals in the win over Yale. “Kip played well; he is playing like a captain and, frankly, like an All-American,” asserted Bates. “He is playing like a man, using his size and strength. They put a shortstick on him and a pole on Zach (Currier); we were surprised by that.” The team’s corps of defensive midfielders gave Princeton another strong performance. “Austin deButts, Bobby Weaver and Austin Sims have the thankless job in the defensive midfield,” said Bates. “They were solid. They kept the ball going up the side of the field. You don’t notice them but that is a sign that they had a good game, it is like offensive linemen in football.” Bates certainly took notice of the heart and soul displayed by sophomore defender Bear Goldstein as he played through pain. “Bear Goldstein had a possibility of not playing because of injury, his was a game-time decision,” said Bates. “T hat k id ’s tough ne s s and leadership on that side of the field was big. If he doesn’t play, I am not sure we win that game. He knew it was a big Ivy game and that his team needed him out there.” The 10th-ranked Tigers have a very big Ivy game this Sunday as they host No. 13 Brown (6-1 overall, 1-0 Ivy). “They have a new offensive coordinator and they are playing at a high pace and generating a high volume of shots,” said Bates, referring to Brown. “It is going to come down to face-offs, making saves, and controlling tempo.” —Bill Alden

Learning Lessons From Setback at Virginia, No. 13 PU Women’s Lax Defeats Harvard Af ter w inning its first four games of the season, the Princeton Universit y women’s lacrosse team hit a roadblock on a trip to Virginia earlier this month. Playing a powerful University of Virginia squad, Princeton fell behind 12-4 on the way to an 18-11 loss to the Cavaliers in the March 14 contest. W h i le t he los s s t u ng, Princeton head coach Chris Sailer believes it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. “I think we really needed that; of course you want to win but we had some wins where we hadn’t played our best,” said Sailer. “We needed to make some changes and adjustments. We needed to play with a different energy and effort. We needed to focus the girls. We had to keep fighting when things weren’t going our way. We got a lot of goals in the second half so that was good to see.” A week of spring break followed the Virginia game and that gave the Tigers a chance to recharge in time for home games against Penn State last Wednesday

and Harvard on Saturday. “We did some fun things; we did bowling at Colonial L anes and we did laser tag,” said Sailer. “After a tough loss, we needed to just have some fun together and I think that put us in a good frame of mind for Penn State.” The 13th-ranked Tigers had fun in the clash with Penn State, overcoming an early 4-2 deficit to pull out a 12-11 win. “I think they were ranked 11th when we played them,” said Sailer, who got four goals from senior Erin Slifer in the win with senior Erin McMunn contributing three goals and an assist and junior Stephanie Paloscio adding two goals and two assists. “It was our seventh win in the last eight games against them. It is always a competitive game.” On Saturday, Princeton faced a competitive foe in an improved Harvard team. “It is a really good team, they have a lot of athletic kids,” said Sailer, a 1981 Harvard alum who starred in field hockey and lacrosse for the Crimson. “It is the most physical game we have

played this year; they have a very physical defense.” In the clash against the Crimson, the Tigers jumped out to a 5-3 lead only to give up three straight goals. Princeton added a tally by senior Erika Grabbi in the last minute of the half to take a 6-5 lead at intermission. The rivals were knotted at 8-8 early in the second half before the Tigers went on a 5-0 run to gain control of the contest, never looking back on the way to a 17-12 triumph. “ T h e y h ad t h e ir r u n s but I think the momentum changed early in the second half when we had that 5-goal run, that seemed to break their back,” said Sailer, whose team improved to 6-1 overall and 2-0 Ivy League by virtue of the victory. The Tigers showed some resilience as they regrouped after McMunn left the Harvard game in the first half due to an injury. “Initially when she went out we struggled,” said Sailer. “We were figuring it out and it was great to see other girls come through.” Grabbi ended up with two goals off the bench while Hompe cont r ibuted f ive goals, Paloscio added three goals and three assists, and star midfielder Slifer chipped in four goals and two assists. Slifer was later named the Ivy league Player of the Week. “Erica had played at UVa and did well; she played within herself against Harvard,” said Sailer. “She was smart with her decisions, calm and collected. Hompe had a great game, we are feeding off of her energy. It is great to see Stephanie consistently getting goals and assists. She had two goals and an assist against Penn State. She is very crafty, very smart, very alert. She is tough to mark because she is really small. She is playing well.” The win also marked a milestone as it was Sailer’s 350th career v ictor y. “I didn’t think it was something that people would celebrate; I knew I got my 300th win a while ago,” said Sailer, a Hall of Fame coach who now has a 350-139 record in 29 years guiding Princeton. “It just represents a lot of great kids and assistant coaches that I have had. I am so fortunate to coach at a place like Princeton with the kids and staff that I have had. It makes me think about how the kids have earned all of those wins.” With Princeton hosting California on March 25 and Delaware on March 28, Sailer is looking to add to that win total. “The focus is to continue to get better; we were not taking enough risks on defense,” said Sailer. “A g a i n s t Pe n n S t a te , Amanda Leavell had a great game with stick checks and ground balls. Liz Bannantine made a clutch play at the end of the game, getting a ground ball when they were pressing forward. We have to stretch ourselves and do more on the field, we could see that in the loss at Virginia. We want to have better defensive intensity and execute all over the field. The focus is on ourselves; we need to keep our house in order.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Fencers 4th at NCAAs

This talk explores the roots of redistributive solidarity, understood as the willingness of people within a nation to redistribute resources to the less advantaged. Some scholars find the roots of solidarity in income inequality and others in the quality of national identity. The alternative approach developed here sees redistributive solidarity as a quasi-equilibrium underpinned by national cultural and institutional frameworks, built over time by political movements for social justice.

WINTER REVIEW

Hun Boys’ Hockey Star Brown, PHS Swimmer Berloco Earn the Nod as Town Topics’ Top Winter Performers

tanding at 5’8 and weighing 140 pounds, Blake Brown doesn’t immediately catch the eye as the Hun School boys’ hockey team takes the ice. But when t he puck is around the net, sophomore forward Brown looms large as his speed, scrappiness, and finishing skill make him a threat to score at any time. Hun head coach Ian McNally appreciates Brown’s nose for the goal. “Blake can move the puck with Jon (Bendorf) and Evan (Barratt) but he can also wait until they find their shot and bang in the rebound,” said McNally. “He is the workhorse. He is the dog that goes into the corner to get it and then goes to the front of the net and it eventually comes back to him.” With Bar rat t sidelined most of the season with a knee injury, Brown lifted his game, becoming Hun’s top scorer as it rolled to one of the best seasons in program history. Combining with classmate Bendorf, the Raiders showed early on that they were going to be a force. In a critical test in Decem-

ber against perennial nemesis Princeton Day School, Brow n tallied t wo goals and an assist while Bendorf scored a dazzling end-to-end first period goal that gave Hun a 1-0 lead, jumpstarting the Raiders to a 6-1 triumph as they improved to 6-0-1. “Coach read us alumni messages about this game and how we were never able to beat these guys in past years,” said Brown. “It is sweet to be finally able to do it.” Hun ended 2014 on a high note as it won the Purple Puck tournament, topping host Gonzaga in a shootout in the title game after the teams battled to a 4-4 stalemate through regulation time. Brown chipped in a goal and an assist in the title game. Brown produced some of his best work this winter in the state Prep tournament, tallying four goals to help top-seeded Hun defeat four t h - s eeded Montclair Kimberley 7-3 in the semifinals and then adding two goals as the Raiders edged No. 2 Morristow n-Beard 5-3 in the title game, earning the program’s first Prep crown since 1996. “Blake had six goals in

two games and they were all within two feet,” said McNally, noting that Brown’s final tally against Mo-Beard marked the 100th point of his Hun career. “He was in the right spot.” Brown helped Hun take a second straight MCT title, tallying three goals and five assists in three games as Hun outscored its foes 21-0 in breezing to the championship. “This brings the school together; we don’t get a lot of championships at Hun,” said Brown, reflecting on the team’s postseason success. “Hopefully we will bring a new chapter to Hun and start winning a lot of championships.” Brown ended up as Hun’s top scorer with 52 points on 22 goals and 30 assists as the Raiders posted a final record of 22-3-3. “Blake works hard for all of his points, he is not flashy and you might not realize how many points he scored,” said McNally. For stepping up and emerging as Hun’s top scorer in a championship campaign, Brown is the choice as the Town Topics’ top male performer of the high school winter sports season.

Top Female Performer t didn’t take long for Abbey Berloco to start turning heads in her freshman campaign with the Princeton High girls’ swimming team. Making her high school debut against Hopewell Valley in early December, precocious freshman Berloco set a program record in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.58, bettering the previous mark by 0.11. For Berloco, getting records was secondary to simply getting better in her first season at the high school level. “I am just hoping for some more personal bests and having a really good season,” said Berloco, who puts in five or six two-hour training sessions a week with her Hamilton Aquatics club team. “My goals are I just want to improve and I want to keep enjoying the sport.” Berloco ended up having a very, very good season. After helping PHS go undefeated in regular season competition, she won both the 50 and 100 freestyle races at the Mercer County Swimming Championships in early Februar y as the Little Tigers won their third straight county crown. Berloco set a meet record in both races and was named the meet’s Most Valuable Swimmer (MVS) on the girls’ side. Getting the MVS wasn’t a goal for Berloco as she wasn’t even aware the award existed until she won it. “I didn’t even know that there was a MVS, everyone said we have to go up for awards,” recalled Berloco. “I was like OK. I was really shocked when I heard my name called.” While Berloco was thrilled to earn the individual award, she was more excited about the team’s superb performance. “Ever yone did such an

Serving Princeton area for over 20 years

amazing job,” said Berloco. “It is great to be part of that; it was really fun to win counties.” With Berloco dominating the sprint events, PHS kept winning, as it took the Public B Central Jersey sectional title and then topped Ocean City in state semis to advance to the Public B state final, where it fell 100-70 to Scotch Plains-Fanwood to suffer its only loss in a 15-1 season. Berloco ended the winter in style, combining with sophomore Melinda Tang, junior Madeleine Deardorff, and junior Brianna Romaine to take first in the 400 free relay at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions. Individually, Berloco placed fifth in the 50 free. In reflecting on Berloco’s exploits, PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz pointed to the freshman’s love of competition. “She is a stellar athlete without a doubt,” said Misiewicz. “She gets in there and swims her heart out no matter what. If she is a body length ahead or a lap ahead of everybody, she puts her heart and soul into it. That is all you can ask for and that is what makes her the kind of swimmer that she is. She puts in 200 percent effort all of the time.” Berloco’s excellence from the first race of her freshman season to the last makes her the pick as the top female performer this winter. Top Newcomers nter ing t he w inter, Princeton High boys’ basketball head coach Mark Shelley believed that sophomore Zahrion Blue would make an impact in his first varsity season. “Blue is going to be really good; he can play the wing, he can play inside,” said Shelley. “He has grown, he is about 6’2. He is versatile.” The athletic Blue grew into a star for the Little Tigers, providing some punch in the paint along with sharpshooting on the perimeter. He ended up averaging 10 points and three rebounds a game as PHS produced a late surge to end up with a 10-12 record after a 4-10 start. Blue, for his part, felt at home in his move up to var-

sity. “I have to play hard,” said Blue. “I think I should be on varsity; it is my level.” For proving that he could thrive at a higher level, Blue gets the nod as the top male newcomer of the winter season. Malia Leveson was asked to do a lot for the Princeton Day School girls’ hockey team this winter. Although a natural forward, she was moved back to defense to bolster the team’s blue line unit. “I think it has been good for me,” said Leveson, reflecting on the move. “I play forward for my club team. It was good playing defense at the beginning of the year, it helps me see the ice better and understand all the positions.” L a te r i n t h e s e a s o n , Leveson was shifted back to offense and she responded by tying junior Ashley Cavuto for the team lead with 21 points, scoring a team-high 11 goals with 10 assists as the Panthers posted a 9-12-2 record and advanced to the semis of the ‘A’ bracket at the WIHLMA (Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the Mid-Atlantic) tournament. Leveson earned All-WIHLMA honorable mention for her heroics, enjoying having the responsibility of being the team’s go-to scorer, letting her production speak for itself. “I definitely like that a lot,” said Leveson of her role as a top scorer. “I am more of a leader on the ice rather than in the locker room.” For making an impact at both ends of the ice in her debut season, Leveson is the choice as the top female newcomer. Top Coaches efore the season even started for the Hun School boys’ hockey team, head coach Ian McNally faced a major challenge. The team’s offensive catalyst, gifted sophomore forward Evan Barratt, broke his knee in the fall and was sidelined indefinitely. “We are missing Barratt and that is a big roadblock for us so we had to rise to it,” said McNally. Responding to McNally’s

leadership, the Raiders rose to the occasion, getting off to a 10-1-1 start in 2014 and closing the year by winning its first title at the Purple Puck Tournament in the Washington, D.C. area. “We have the skill but we also have chemistr y and work ethic and you don’t always get that with the skill,” said McNally. “If you have those three things, you can do well in any league.” The Raiders kept doing well as the winter unfolded, winning the state Prep title for the first time since 1996 and then rolling to its second straight Mercer County Tournament championship. In ref lec t ing in Hu n’s dream season, McNally noted that it was a total team effort. “The story of us is depth, regardless of who is here we still play the exact same way,” said McNally, whose team ended the season with a 22-3-3 record. “S omet imes when you don’t have guys, you have to change the strategy and things like that. Going into every big game, we had to change the lines and whoever it was got it done. Sometimes it was the defense, sometimes it was the big guns and sometimes it was the third line.” For holding things together as Hun produced one of the best campaigns in program history, McNally is pick as the top coach of a male team this winter. When Greg Hand retired from teaching and coach-

ing at PHS last June, he left quite a legacy when it came to the school’s swimming program. Guiding the PHS boys’ and girls’ swimming teams since 1996-97, Hand molded the Little Tigers into a powerhouse. In his tenure, the boys’ squad has gone 202-46-3 with seven county crowns, 12 sectional titles, five appearances in the state finals, and a New Jersey Public B championship in 2012. During that stretch, the Little Tiger girls’ team has posted a record of 152-63-2 with two county crowns, seven sectional titles, and four appearances in the Public B championship meet. Hand’s replacement, Carly Misiewicz, was in elementary school when he started coaching and had big shoes to fill. The 2013 Rider University alum and former swim star for the Broncs, who had assisted Hand in his final season at the helm, drew on his experience as she took over. “He has been great, if I have any questions, he helps me,” said Misiewicz, referring to Hand’s influence. “He has given me practices that he has done before, saying here is a schedule, do what you want to do but here is this as well if you want it. He gave me all of his resources and he is still such a great mentor. I look up to him so much and I can only hope to be the coach that he is some day.” With her recent experience of competing at the Division I level, Misiewicz incorporat-

ed some new wrinkles into the PHS training regimen. “We have changed our dryland a little bit, stepping it up a notch,” said Misiewicz, who started swimming at age 4 and was competing year-round by age 8. “We are doing medicine balls, we are using the combat ropes, the big, thick ropes. We do abs, weighted lunges, weighted squats for just a half-hour or 45 minutes, before or after practice.” Junior star Brianna Romaine credited Misiewicz with injecting a fresh approach. “Now w it h Coach Miz taking a head coach role, it changed the dynamic in a good way,” said Romaine. “It is all positive. Our team is really behind each other and I think overall that is what made us so good.” Under Misiewicz’s spirited leadership, PHS went on to produce a dynamic campaign, winning its third county title in a row and a second straight Public B Central Jersey sectional title. Advancing one step further than it did in 2014, PHS topped Ocean City in the Public B state semis to set up a championship showdown against Scotch Plains-Fanwood. While the Little Tigers fell 100-70 to the Raiders, Misiewicz was all smiles as she reflected on the final effort in her team’s superb campaign. “Why I love being a part of this team so much is that every person is so classy,” said Misiewicz, whose team posted a final record of 151. “They are not going to bad mouth the other team because we lost, no one is a sore loser. Every person on the team knows that we did everything that we could, they swam faster. You can’t swim faster than you are capable of swimming.” Displaying class and enthusiasm as she guided the Little Tigers to a winter to remember, Misiewicz is the choice as the top coach of a female team. —Bill Alden

Berloco ended the season by taking part in a 400 free relay quartet that took first at the Meet of Champions. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Winter Review

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, march 25, 2015 • 40

Working Through Challenges of Wintry Preseason, PHS Boys’ Lax Plans to Warm Up as Spring Unfolds The seemingly interminable winter hitting the area has had a chilling effect on the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team as it prepares for the upcoming season. “It has been a challenge,” said PHS head coach Peter Stanton, noting that the team’s two scheduled preseason scrimmages were cancelled. “There has been a lot of gym work. We have had the turf field a number of times but that has normally been with the girls’ team on one half and us on the other, with baseball on the side. We have been trying to make the most out of our time.” But Stanton, recently inducted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame, believes his team will warm up as spring unfolds as has been its custom over the years. “We want to be that team you don’t want to play in May,” said Stanton, whose

team opens regular season play by hosting the Christian Brothers Academy on March 25. “We pride ourselves on being the team that improves the most during the season.” Stanton is seeing improvement in sophomore Johnny L opez- Ona and believes he will emerge as a go-to player. “Johnny started last year as a freshman and he’s going to be a leader there for us this season,” said Stanton, who guided PHS to a 16-4 record last spring and the program’s second straight Mercer County Tournament title. “He is a little quicker and better at stick protection and dodging. Last year, Matt Corrado, Matt Purdy, and Kevin Halliday could create with dodging and Johnny was more of a backside player, being in position to finish or make assists. This year he will be creating more.”

PHS boasts some other players who should bolster the attack. “Chris Diver played in midfield last year and we moved him down to attack,” said Stanton of the senior stalwart. “He played on our man-up unit last year. He is a very savvy player and has good field sense. Besides that we have a host of players in attack including sophomore Eamonn McDonald, sophomore Brendon McCormick, and senior Chris Munoz.” In the midfield, junior Rory Helstrom, a star running back for the 8-2 PHS football team last fall, figures to carry a heavy load. “It all starts with Rory, he is very explosive,” said Stanton. “If he can get by a player in football, he can certainly do it in lacrosse. He is a gifted athlete and he has worked hard in the weight room.” A pair of talented junior athletes, Nick Halliday and Luis Lazo, will give Helstrom some support in the midfield. “Nick Halliday and Luis Lazo got shifts last year on defense so they got a little bit of experience,” said Stanton of the pair who starred for the PHS boys’ soccer team this fall as it won the county crown and advanced to the Group 3 state title game. “More importantly, they were with the team and saw how the older kids did things.” The PHS midfield also include a number of new faces. “We have a lot of new guys,” added Stanton. “Mark and Luke Duarte are sophomore twins. Oliver Hamit, a sophomore, is retur ning from shoulder surgery.

Can’t Tolerate CPAP? Consider oral appliance therapy Have you ever seen a teeth whitening tray or a sports mouthguard? Well, if you suffer from sleep apnea, an equally small, comfortable, custom fitted device could be just the solution you’re looking for. While in the past Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) has been considered the gold standard therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, not everyone can tolerate the cumbersome device and simply won’t use it. That’s hazardous to their health. Therapy with a portable custom-fitted oral appliance can be extremely helpful for a variety of apnea problems ranging from mild to severe — without surgery. Snoring noise is caused by vibrations of air moving through a narrow airway. In apnea, the tongue and soft tissues relax and completely collapse the airway during sleep until breathing stops. The brain partially awakens them to restore breathing. The key to successful treatment with your oral appliance is custom fitting so that it meets your unique needs and will maintain an open,

unobstructed airway while you sleep by repositioning your lower jaw, tongue, and soft palate. It is an excellent alternative for many apnea patients and also for snorers whose problem has not improved in spite of weight loss, avoidance of alcohol, quitting smoking or shifting their sleep position. Wouldn’t you like to greet every day again feeling rested and re-energized? We’ll be happy to answer any of your questions about oral appliance therapy.

Justin Marciano is another sophomore in the midfield along with Patrick Jacobs, a freshman.” Three of the team’s best guys, senior Jackson Andres, senior Colin Buckley, and senior Joe Hawes, will spearhead the defensive unit. “Jackson is phenomenal, he is so disruptive to other teams,” said Stanton, adding that sophomore Norman “Tooker” Callaway, senior Chr istian Sandford, and freshman Ian Jacobs should also see time on defense. “He can take over the game and will score some goals for us. The same is true for Joe Hawes, we can put him against our opponent’s best attackman and he can neutralize that guy, giving Jackson and Colin more favorable matchups. Colin is physical, he has a lot of experience.” Senior goalie Kenan Glasgold is better for the experience he got last spring in his first season as a starter. “Kenan had a very good year last season,” said Stanton. “He is looking a lot better right now than he looked at this time last year.” While it might take a few weeks for PHS to get in synch this spring, Stanton is confident it can have a very good season. “We are combining inexperience with expectations of competing for a county title and being in the mix for a Group 3 title; we need to have patience and have a tolerance for mistakes that we are going to make as we grow,” said Stanton, noting that assistant coach Chip Casto is focusing on coming

up with the offensive scheme that will get the most out of the team’s potential. “We do have senior leadership with some outstanding players who really want to

win. We need to focus on long term goals and how we are going to end up in May.” —Bill Alden

In taking the helm of the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse program, David Schlesinger knows that he walked into a good situation. “The preseason has been great, the girls are wonderful,” said head coach Schlesinger, t he replacement for Kelsey O’Gorman, who is now guiding the Stuart Country Day School lax program after leading PHS to a 17-4 season in 2014 and an appearance in the Group III South sectional final. “They are incredibly coachable and eager to learn.” Schlesinger has plenty of lacrosse knowledge to pass on to his new charges, having played three seasons for the Colgate University men’s team in the late 1970s before coaching the Moorestown girls’ youth programs and then guiding Eastern High and Wissahickon High (Pa,) girls’ programs. He has also coached for the Ultimate Goal lacrosse club headed by former Princeton University women’s lax assistant coach Michele DeJuliis.

With that wealth of experience, Schlesinger brings a detailed approach to his new assignment. “We will be a very disciplined, aggressive team that tries to make the small plays like draw controls and ground balls,” said Schlesinger, whose team opens the 2015 season by playing at Shore on March 25 before hosting Hun on March 27. “ We w a n t to h av e a smooth transition from offense to defense and defense to offense. We want to be very disciplined on offense, organized and aggressive on defense. We really start from the goal out. If you prevent goals, you have a much better chance to win.” PHS boasts one of the top goalies in the area in fouryear starter and Michiganbound Mira Shane. “I am incredibly fortunate to inherit a goalie like Mira Shane,” said Schlesinger. “As great a goaltender as she is, she is a better person. She is one of our tricaptains.”

It’s that time of year! March Madness Is Here! Julius says...

With a defensive unit featuring senior Oona Ryle, junior Gabrielle Deitch, junior Trish Reilly, senior Campbell McDonald, and sophomore Gwen Koehler, the Little Tigers should be able to hold foes at bay. “Oona Ryle is one of our captains and will be a leader on defense,” said Schlesinger. “Gabby Deitch is very fast. Trish Reilly is going to Lehigh to play field hockey. We moved Campbell McDonald to defense to take advantage of her speed and physicality. Gwen Koehler is a terrific young player. We have speed, smarts, and good lateral movement on defense.” The PHS midfield includes a number of terrific athletes. “I have an embarrassment of riches in the midfield,” asserted Schlesinger. “Starting with Julia Ryan, who has committed to Holy Cross, and Taylor Lis; they are both tall, strong, really fast with strong stick skills. Jordyn Cane is very fast, highly skilled; she is coming into her own. Freshman Abaigael Ryan was a real standout in our play day. She will be pushing other girls for playing time, I can play her all over the field. She will be a good utility player as a freshman.” On attack, the Little Tigers have plenty of firepower in senior Gabrielle Gibbons, junior Allie Callaway, junior Sydney Reynolds, and sophomore Georgia McLean. “Gabby is a very decorated player, she is our third captain,” added Schlesinger. “She is heading to VCU; she is a good finisher. Allie Callaway is going to George Mason; she is a big strong player. She is highly skilled with an incredible shot. Sydney Reynolds is a very crafty, highly skilled player. Georgia McLean is one of the most aggressive, quick players I have ever coached.” While PHS has the skill to have another big season, Schlesinger believes its success will depend on being cool under fire. “We need discipline when we are facing the better teams,” said Schlesinger, noting that PHS is playing such formidable teams as Shore, Bishop Eustace, Cle ar v iew, Ru m s on - Fa ir Haven, Lawrenceville, Notre Dame, and WW/P-N. “Sometimes when you get pushed, there are breakdowns. We will have some early setbacks and we will need to bounce back from that. There is no one I need to hide. It frees us up as coaches to do neat things with the team.” —Bill Alden

Hun Boys’ Lax Focusing on Building Trust, Sees Team Unity as Key to Taking Next Step The watchword around the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team this spring is trust. “We need to focus on team building more than ever and developing trust,” said Hun head coach MV Whitlow, who guided the Raiders to a 13-7 record last year and a second straight appearance in the state Prep A championship game. “We need to exhibit a level of character and we need to to trust in each other, trust in the process, trust in the coaches, and trust in the players.” To help develop that trust, Hun traveled back to Arizona this month for its annual preseason trip. “It was a great trip, we had a lot of time on the field to practice and did a lot of things together off the field,” said Whitlow. “We did horseback riding on the Verde river and climbed Camelback Mountain again. We are emphasizing being the best version of ourselves in everything that we do.” Whitlow will be looking to some key veterans to help Hun be at its best in the midfield as senior Brendan Black, junior Owen Black, senior Cole West, senior Julian Williams, junior Chris Andrews, and junior Patrick Brake give the Raiders a lot of firepower in that unit. “We have two main midfield units that we are running,” said Whitlow, whose team opens the season by hosting Don Bosco on March 25. “Brendan and Owen Black are on one line, they are looking very, very good. Cole West and Julian Williams are together on another. Chris Andrews and Pat Brake are on another line, they put up points last year. We have increased depth.” On the defensive end of the field, Hun boasts some battled-tested performers in senior Tucker Stevenson,

sophomore Chris Fake, and senior goalie Jon Levine. “Tucker is one of our captains; he is a dynamic player,” asserted Whitlow. “We will play him up top and down low. We can play him all over the field. He’s a sevenyear guy at Hun, he came in together with Brendan Black. Chris Fake is a sophomore, he is real talented. Another captain, Jon Levine, is back in goal. He is looking real strong.” If the Raiders can get on the same page, they should be a very strong team this spring.

“We need to come together as a team,” said Whitlow, noting that offensive coordinator Jeff Snow has implemented a new offensive scheme that should result in a more uptempo attack. “I think the guys are very committed to the team success and not individual stuff. We have high character guys who care a lot for each other. A theme we have shared is to focus on the process, consistent winning comes from the process; not focusing on the outcome. We have ramped up the schedule and the guys are hungry and ready to take the next step.” —Bill Alden

Schlesinger Taking Helm of PHS Girls’ Lax; Sees Discipline as Key to Maintaining Success

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2015 • 42

Cook Excited to Guide Hun Girls’ Lacrosse, Taking Positive Approach in Rebuilding Effort By the end of last spring, Liz Cook was ready to take a hiatus from coaching high school lacrosse. “I was a Princeton Day School varsity coach, I was coaching at Princeton Lacrosse Club and Garden State Elite,” said Cook, who had been coaching at PDS for 15 years. “I was really busy, there was not enough time for my kids. I wanted to take a break from high school lax and still coach the club teams. After the end of the PDS season, I told them what I was planning.” But then Cook got an offer she couldn’t refuse as the Hun School reached out to her to see if she would take over a girls’ lacrosse program that had struggled to a 1-11 record in 2014. “Hun is very much like PDS, there are a lot of similarities between the kids at both schools,” said Cook, a former three-sport star at PDS who went on to play field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse at Brown University. “I knew some of the players from Garden State Elite. I knew they were struggling; it was a chance to really make a difference. It was a good fit.” So far, Cook appears to be a good fit for the Hun program, heartened by how her players have responded to the coaching change. “They have been great, they have taken me in with

open arms,” asserted Cook, who is succeeding Haley Sanborn. “They have bought into my philosophy. We all have a vision, we are all on the bus and they each have a ticket.” The team’s recent preseason trip to South Carolina helped forge the bond between Cook and her new charges. “We went to Hilton Head and had a ball,” asserted Cook. “We played a lot of lacrosse and did a lot of team building things. They feel like my kids already.” A major goal for Cook this spring is to build up her team’s confidence as Hun looks to get back on the winning track. “My philosophy for this year is to make everything positive,” said Cook. “We have a team motto, “TNT”, meaning today, not tomorrow; do it now. Each girl picked a word that is special to them and they will focus on that in addition to the team.” Cook is focusing on putting together a potent attack, noting that she is still working on figuring out the best way to deploy such talented players as juniors Emma Consoli and Katie Consoli, junior Mariesa Cay, sophomore Delia Lawver, junior Lindsay Ruddy, junior Maura Kelly, sophomore Shannon Dudeck, and sophomore Sophia Albanese. “We have a lot of talent,

the Consoli girls are great in the midfield, they really see the field,” said Cook. “Cay is playing attack right now, she is really strong. Lawver is also good. They all have so much skill and lacrosse IQ. They are looking to me to put it together. It is hard for me to know right now where everyone is going to be. I may be moving people to positions they haven’t played in the past because I can see that they have the talent for that role.” Things are more settled for the Raiders on defense. “We have a good defensive unit,” said Cook. “We have a lot of seniors, Amanda Barbour, Shannon Graham, Taylor Nehlig, and Reina Kern, along with sophomore Julia Salerno. The defensive unit is pretty much set.” Cook is expecting sophomore goalie Maddie McNulty to have a good year. “Maddie has made huge str ides, she has worked hard,” said Cook. “She went to a lot of camps and has a personal coach. She has really come along.” As Cook begins the rebuilding process, she is looking for the players to trust her approach. “They have to stay with the plan; they might come against adversity and think it is not going to work,” said Cook. “They need to stay with the vision, no matter what happens. They have some fresh wounds from a sea-

son that was not what they wanted record-wise.” Although it is early, the Raiders appear to have the chemistry to stick together through thick and thin. “I have never had a team like this, they are all really good friends,” said Cook. “There is no drama; I never heard any of them say a negative word about anyone else. They really support each other.” —Bill Alden

Mildred Campbell Mildred Lucille Cor um Campbell, a child of Warfield, Brunswick County, Virginia, died peacefully on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 while a patient at University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, New Jersey. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, H. Stuart Campbell and a sister, Virginia D. Corum of Maryland; four step-children, Constance C. Rinaldi and her husband, Alexander, of New Jersey; Eleanor S. Vulopas and her husband Samuel, of North Carolina; H. Stuart Campbell, Jr., and his wife Alice, of Delaware; and Elizabeth C. Rodriguez and her husband, William, of Maryland; eight step-grandchildren and four step-great grandchildren. Mildred’s other sister, Ruby Corum Garrison, died in 2007. The three girls were the children of Oliver and Hazel Corum, long-time residents of Brunswick County. Mildred’s childhood was one with a close knit, hardworking family raising tobacco and enjoying Sunday fish fries hosting their many neighbors. She attended Warfi eld Grade School and graduated second in her class from Alberta High School, Alberta, Virginia. She went to Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia from 1951 to 1953 (at that time this college was the

Cooley. During her four years in Houston she completed training as a cardiovascular specialist in operating room nursing (one of the first three nurses in the United States to be so trained). She also was one of two civilians allowed to take a course in operating room management at the United States Army Medical Service School in San Antonio, Texas. Her extraordinary experience and reputation now brought her to Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles, California as supervisor of the operating and recovery rooms and supervisory support to the cardiac assist program. In 1968, Mildred was hired by Ethicon, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, as a Nurse Consultant. Ethicon, Inc., the world’s largest suture and wound closure products company, benefited from Mildred’s background with her input on product development and packaging. She was also invaluable in providing marketing support with her many contacts among the operating supervisors around the country. She also developed training programs for the national sales force. After less than a year Mildred was moved to become the first full time nurse consultant to the Johnson & Johnson Hospital Products Company. In August, 1970, Doctor E. B. (Ted) Diethrich, a protégé of Michael DeBakey, MD, recognized Mildred’s unique background and convinced her to join him in building the Arizona Heart Institute. This was a “once in a lifetime” opportunity for a nurse to undertake such an assignment. Mildred’s years of experience and diversity in operating room nursing, O.R. management and special training in cardiovascular let her confidently accept the offer of this brilliant cardiovascular surgeon to coordinate design, construct, and startup operations of the new multimillion dollar Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. She started with drawings, oversaw the construction, developed a budget, ordered all materials and supplies, hired all non-doctor personnel, started operations of diagnostic lab, operating rooms, intensive care units, office space, and all support systems for the Institute. The project was completed in one year and fifteen days. Mildred resigned in 1972. She and Stuart were married in the Lawrenceville, Virginia, United Methodist Church on December 2, 1972, and took up residence in New Jersey. For ten years then, Mildred became wife, gourmet chef, housekeeper, gardener, house decorator, and step-mother to Stuart’s four children from his fi rst marriage. In 1982 Stuart retired from Johnson & Johnson and he and Mildred bought a little packaging business together. From three employees and three packaging machines at the start, they grew the company over the next 19 years to 126 employees and 30+ machines. Mildred was president of the company and ran operations while her husband took care of fi nances and marketing. They sold the business and retired in June of 2002. Mildred was an incredible motivator of people and “mothered” many of the more than 1000 employees who passed through the business to a better life.

In April, 1995 a benign tumor (the size of a newborn) was discovered in Mildred’s chest, having grown following her surgery in 1959. She returned to Houston for open heart surgery but they could only remove very little of the mass. It continued to grow slowly, pressing on her heart and lung leading to gradual deterioration of her breathing. In retirement from their business she enjoyed travel. Having travelled the rest of the world with her husband as he pursued his worldwide responsibilities, now in retirement they concentrated on travelling in America and Canada. They just “wandered” up to six weeks at a time with Mildred’s sister, Virginia, and a cousin’s widow along — they would play bridge most evenings. Those travels took them to most of the lower 48 states, to 31 state capitols, 11 of the 13 presidential libraries and many beautiful national parks. Mildred became fascinated with the beauty and engineering variety of the countless bridges encountered in her travels and used her photography hobby to capture those features. Other hobbies or personal pursuits included the Princeton University Art Museum, the Pennsylvania Ballet, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, cross-stitching, interior decorating and a voracious appetite for everything in sports. She was a member of the Association of Operating Room Nurses from 1956 to 1984; a member of the Plainfield, New Jersey Muhlenberg Hospital Auxiliary; the New Jersey Association of Manufacturers; Who’s Who of American Women; and Who’s Who of America. This lovely lady was loved, admired, and respected by all whom she encountered in life. She guided and taught and positively influenced so many in an exemplary life. It is understandable that all of her immediate and extended family are so proud of her story. The family received friends on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Williams Funeral Home, 410 Windsor Avenue, Lawrenceville, Virginia. The memorial service was conducted at the funeral home on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. followed by a private burial for family members at Oakwood Cemetery, in Lawrenceville, Virginia. Memorial contributions may be made to Antioch United Methodist Church, 15328 Christanna Hw y, Lawrenceville, Va.

girl’s division of the University of Virginia). She then went on to UVA at Charlottesville and graduated in 1956 with a BS degree in nursing. She immediately passed the Virginia State Board of Nursing Examinations and was ultimately registered in Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, California, Arizona, and New Jersey. Following graduation, Mildred worked in the operating rooms at the University of Virginia Hospital until 1961. During this time she was Head Nurse in plastic surgery for 14 months and Head Nurse in cardiovascular for 2 years. Unfortunately in late 1958 she developed pericarditis (her heart covering calcified and constricted her heart function). She underwent heart surgery to remove the heart covering, was hospitalized for four months and spent a year and a half in recovery at home. When she returned to gradually resume a work schedule, she ironically operated a heart-lung machine that had not yet been developed for her surgery. We speculate her life ultimately would have been far different and less debilitating in her fi nal years had the heart lung machine come along two years earlier. Never theless, this lady was strong of character and dedicated to bringing her skills and experience to the welfare of countless patients throughout her exemplary career in nursing. She was recommended to the operating room staff at the Heart Institute in the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland and served there in 1961 and 1962. She was hired by t he medical university of South Carolina in Charleston as supervisor of the operating and recovery Rooms where she “ran the show” until an exciting opportunity was presented in 1964. Mildred went to Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston with the chance to “scrub” for two of the world’s most famous heart surgeons at that time: Doctor Michael DeBakey and Doctor Denton

John O. Parker, Jr. John O. Parker, Jr. died on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, at his home in Skillman, New Jersey. He was 70 years old. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Mr. Parker earned his undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College in 1966. He served as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy aboard the U.S.S. Greenfish before earning his Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard University in 1972. After starting his career at Corning Glass Works, Mr. Parker went on to serve as chief information officer of Baxter Healthcare, Squibb Corp., Sea-land Corp. and SmithKline Beecham. Upon his retirement from the pharmaceutical industry, he cofounded Care Capital LLC, a venture capital investment firm, and later joined

Rho Ventures as a venture partner. Over the years, he served as a member of the board of directors of several companies, including Express Scripts, PHT Corp., Medical Present Value, Inc., and Solicore, Inc. An avid sailor, Mr. Parker’s voyages included a trans-Atlantic passage and trips to South Georgia Island and Antarctica, as well as numerous crossings from the Chesapeake Bay to Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, and Canada. He held a 100-Ton Master’s License from the U.S. Coast Guard. Not limited to the water, Mr. Parker was also a Federal Aviation Administration-licensed aviator with private, instrument, high performance, and seaplane ratings. While his passions for his career and his travels were great, nothing paralleled Mr. Parker’s love for his wife of 43 years, Beverly, and their family. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Todd, and his daughter, Hilary; his grandsons, Andrew and Kevin; his brother, Jim; his son’s fiancée, Vanessa Alegria; and many inlaws, nieces, and nephews.

Charles E. Fiero, Jr. Charles Eldredge Fiero, Jr., a resident of Princeton and Nantucket Island, died on Januar y 24, 2015 at Stonebridge at Montgomery due to complications from pneumonia and Alzheimer’s Disease. Chuck, as he was known to friends and family, was a brilliant man of great integrity and was an enthusiastic mentor to many. Chuck was born on December 26, 1926 in Bronxville, N.Y. during a violent snowstorm causing his mother to be taken to the hospital by sled. He was the second of five children. Raised in Bronxville, Chuck spent summers on Connecticut’s Long Island Sound and became a life long lover of the sea. On Nantucket Island, he shared his love with his children and grandchildren.

Chuck graduated from Ad m iral Far rag ut Naval Academy as valedictorian and joined the Navy, serving in World War II as a radar technician. His ship was about to leave San Diego for the Pacific when peace with Japan was declared. He then entered Connecticut’s Wesleyan University in 1946 and married Dorothy (Dolly) Hagenbuckle in 1948. Graduating in 1950 with distinction in Economics and as a member of Phi Beta Kapa, he joined Chase Bank’s training program. During his 25 years at Chase he was made vice president in 1958 and was put in charge of the credit department, Chase’s vast training program. Later, he joined the international department and was asked to open Chase’s first branch in G eneva, Sw it zerland, and also to restructure and improve Chase’s European network. In 1965, the family moved to London where Chuck became a B oard member of what was then the Standard Bank w ith branches in sub-Sahara Africa.

In 1968, Chuck was asked to become the Under Secretary of Commerce in the Lyndon Johnson administration to check and control the amount of U.S. funds being moved to Europe. He spent a year in Washington and then returned to Chase as director of long range planning and corporate development. Under David Rockefeller, he traveled extensively in the Middle East to assess the impact of OPEC’s wealth on the world’s monetar y system. He then became an executive vice president. In 1976, he left Chase to join the Hay Group, an international consulting group based in Philadelphia, as partner and chief financial officer. During that time, he ran biannual sessions at Northwestern University’s business school emphasizing mergers and acquisitions. When Hay was sold to Saatchi and Saatchi of London, Chuck and two other partners formed MLR Holdings, a venture capital firm which also included publish-

ing suburban Philadelphia newspapers and magazines. He retired at 78 due to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease. Chuck was a trustee of Wesleyan University, chairman of Mount Holyoke College Parent Fund, and a member of the Board of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Dolly Fiero, a son Dr. David E. Fiero (and Kathleen) of Princeton, a daughter Diane Claffey (and Don) of Indiana, a daughter Wendy Morgan (and Hugh) of Rhode Island, a sister Margaret Stone in Florida, a sister Jeanette Joynes in Virginia, a brother John W. Fiero of Louisiana, six g ra ndch i ldren, a nd one great-grandson. A memorial service will be held this summer on Nantucket.

THE PERILS OF FSBO: DON'T RISK YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE Drive along any well-traveled road today, and chances are you've seen at least one sign from an investor looking for For-Sale-By-Owner homes. And there's a good reason for that: Most FSBO properties wind up selling for far less that their market value – a good thing for investors, but not for the sellers who can lose tens of thousands of dollars on a FSBO deal. Yes, you can look at recent listings to get an idea of what homes in your area have been selling for; but that only gives a general idea without considering the unique features of your home that could earn you a higher price in the market. Selling your home is a major financial decision, and you want to make sure your interests are being protected by someone experienced in the sales process. Hiring an agent is a smart move that can yield more profits as well as considerable peace of mind, even after paying a commission.
