Politicians Turn Out To Protest Changes Proposed by NJ Transit Discontinuing the 655 bus line that ferries passengers between Princeton and the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro on Route 1 would be a disservice to local residents, Mayor Liz Lempert, other politicians, and local residents told NJ Transit officials at a public hearing last week. Thursday was the last day the public could comment on service cuts and fare hikes that NJ Transit has proposed to make up for a $60 million funding shortfall. At the Trenton Transit Center, a long line of people voiced opposition to both aspects of the plan. “Residents of Princeton who do not own a car currently rely on public transportation,” Ms. Lempert said during her turn at the microphone. Getting rid of the 655 bus “will disproportionately hurt our low income residents.” In his opening statement, Alan Maiman, NJ Transit’s deputy general manager of bus service planning, said there are alternative routes that residents could use, involving a connection at Quakerbridge Mall. But more than one speaker said that alternative would involve paying more money and extending the trip from 20 to 90 minutes. Officials urged NJ Transit to give the line, which has been in place since the hospital moved from the Witherspoon/ Jackson neighborhood to Route 1, a chance to increase ridership. Lester Varga, planning director of Plainsboro Township, said more development planned for the area around the hospital will mean more riders when those projects — an assisted living facility and child development center — are completed. Officials at the hospital have said they will keep subsidizing the service if NJ Transit keeps it going. And at its most recent meeting, Princeton Council passed a resolution to keep a form of transportation between the town and the hospital. “The 655 is more than a bus route,” commented Alan Hyndman, communications coordinator at the New Jersey Bike & Walk Coalition. “It’s a vital link between people in Princeton and their closest hospital. And for those who depend on biking and walking, it’s their only option.” NJ Transit has said that the fare hikes and service cuts, if approved, would go into effect October 1. The agency has mentioned more than $42 million in Continued on Page 13

John, Alicia Nash Remembered After Fatal Crash
The tragic taxi accident that claimed the lives of John Forbes Nash and Alicia Nash late last Saturday afternoon has inspired shock and sadness in the Princeton community and across the world. The famed mathematician, 86, and his wife, 82. a scholar in her own right, were traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike to their Princeton Junction home when the car crashed about 4:30 p.m. and ejected them from the vehicle. The taxi lost control near Interchange 8A when trying to pass another car, and crashed into the guardrail, according to New Jersey State Police. The driver was flown to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The Nashes, neither of whom were said to be wearing seatbelts, were pronounced dead at the scene. Mr. Nash’s connection to Princeton University goes back to 1950, when he earned his doctorate in mathematics. He joined the University’s mathematics department as a senior research mathematician in 1995, a year after he won the Nobel Prize for economics for his work in game theory. In between, he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, which derailed his career but dissipated as he grew older.
Mr. Nash’s life was the subject of Sylvia Nasar’s book A Beautiful Mind, which was turned into an Oscar-winning film in 2002. The mathematician was portrayed by actor Russell Crowe, who commented on Twitter that he was stunned by the accident and called the couple “An amazing partnership. Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.” University President Christopher Eisgruber commented on Sunday, “John’s remarkable achievements inspired gen-
erations of mathematicians, economists, and scientists who were influenced by his brilliant, groundbreaking work in game theory, and the story of his life with Alicia moved millions of readers and moviegoers who marveled at their courage in the face of daunting challenges.” University economics professor Dilip J. Abreu called Mr. Nash’s work in game theory “beautiful and profound. His contributions are arguably the greatest in the Continued on Page 7
No Teacher Contract as District Approves Terms With Administrators, Support Staff The Princeton Public School’s Board of Education approved new three-year contracts with two of the district’s three employee associations at a special meeting in the Valley Road administration building May 20. Contracts were made with the Princeton Regional Support Staff Association (PRESSA), which represents instructional aides, custodians, bookkeepers, and secretaries, and with the Princeton Administrators’ Association (PAA) which represents principals, assistant principals, and supervisors. Both contracts will replace
those due to expire June 30. Superintendent Steve Cochrane described the negotiations with PRESSA as “a model of positive and productive labor relations.” Of those with PAA, he said he appreciated the “leadership’s positive, professional, and efficient approach.” Conspicuously absent from successful completion, is a contract with teachers’ union Princeton Regional Education Association (PREA), which has been in lengthy and contentious negotiation since it expired July 1 last year.

SPIRITED SATURDAY: The Spirit of Princeton led and sponsored the annual Memorial Day Parade Saturday, with marchers of all sorts taking part, some in kilts, some in plumed hats, some on bikes and in soap box derby carts. The parade was followed by a dedication ceremony at Monument Hall, where Retired Navy Captain John Baker was the featured speaker. Memorial Day thoughts are the subject of this week’s Town Talk.

The Princeton Health Department wants to remind residents that rabies infected wildlife continues to pose a risk to people and pets. Rabies is almost always 100 percent fatal once a person or animal begins to show symptoms. Protecting pets by keeping them current on their rabies vaccine is an important buffer between wildlife rabies and human exposure. Indoor animals should also be vaccinated as rabid bats are frequently discovered by pets in the home. “Princeton had the highest number of animals testing positive for rabies in Mercer County in 2014,” said the town’s health officer Jeffrey Grosser, adding that cats as well as dogs should be vaccinated. “Not only does the vaccine keep your pet safe, but it can help keep you and your family safe as well,” he said. To protect themselves and their pets, residents should avoid wildlife and animals you do not know, keep pets on a leash, never feed or touch stray animals, teach children to tell you if they are scratched or bitten by an animal, and call the doctor and local health department if bitten or exposed to saliva or blood. Also, contact your veterinarian if your pet was exposed to a bat, raccoon, skunk, or other wild carnivore. Perform a 360-degree “walk-around” of your home, looking for openings in the exterior bats can use as an entry. Openings should be closed only after it is determined no bats are inside the home or the attic. Dogs and cats are not considered immunized until 28 days after receiving an initial rabies vaccination, so they should not be left outdoors unattended. Every year, 30,000 to 40,000 Americans are potentially exposed to rabies, requiring costly and uncomfortable human rabies post-exposure prophylaxis. For more information, call the Princeton Health Department at (609) 497-7608.

“We’re using technology to help us address some of our problems,” says Mayor Liz Lempert, who has been enthusiastically plugging the event in recent weeks. “The idea is to get a new perspective on some of the issues we face as a municipality and are grappling with as a community. We’re looking at the issues through a different lens, bringing in residents who might not be typically engaged. This is a way to get some fresh eyes on some issues.”

Also planned for Saturday are programming classes for children. My Robotic Friends is for grades 1-5 at 1:30 p.m., and Scratch Programming is geared to grades 6-8 at 3 p.m. There will be space for hardware aficianados. For updates on workshops, speakers, and other events, visit codeforprinceton.org. The brainstorming session this Sunday, May 31 is designed to discover what problems people want programmers and hackers to work on during the following weekend’s event. “Some might relate to the data sets we’ve put together, and some to sets we’ll still need to put together,” Ms. Lempert said.

The two-day event is part of the June 6 National Day of Civ ic Hack ing, organized by Code for America. Princeton’s Hackathon is a collaboration bet ween Code for Princeton, the Municipality of Princeton, and the library. Using publicly released data, technology, and design processes, participants will collaborate on projects in areas including renewable and sustainable energy, politics and elections, volunteerism and civic participation, environmental and geospatial data, and cycling and transportation. “It has been held in many other cities,” said Ms. Lempert, who will hold a preHackathon brainstorming session this Sunday at the library from 3-4 p.m. “It’s really a fun, communit y event. We’ve all been doing some prep work. On our end, we’re putting together big data sets in a format that people can use. The idea is that these would be posted online for people to use during the Hackathon, and afterwards. It’s part of our effort to be more open and transparent, not just sharing information but doing it in a way that’s going to be usable.” Everyone is welcome at the Hackathon, but space is limited. The event begins at noon on Saturday, June 6 with a coffee hour and team formation. Following a keynote address by Major League Hacking Chief Executive Officer Mike Swift, Ms. Lempert will officially kick off the session, which continues through midnight. Hacking will resume at 8 a.m. Sunday with submissions due by 11 a.m.

Civic Hackathon Continued from Preceding Page
“Depending on what the information is, we might be able to scramble and get something up and running for use during the Hackathon. Or it might just be a good idea we’ll work on.” University professors, high school students, and other computer buffs are excited about the event. “In an ideal situation, we end up with an idea for an app that could
be really great not just for Princeton, but for other towns around the country,” Ms. Lempert said. “In coming months, we can look into potentially developing it. But even if we don’t get a usable product, just having lots of residents engage with this data and come together can lead to ideas and solutions and to new perspectives” Sponsors are hoping the Hackathon will be the first of more to be held in the
future. Originally, the event was planned for April, but it coincided with one that Princeton University was holding. “It has generated a lot of excitement,” Ms. Lempert said. “One of the things I love about it is that it has already brought new people to the table who hadn’t been involved in the past.” There will be prizes awarded for notable efforts — nothing fancy, though. “W hen hackat hons f irst
started, they would attract people to participate by offering big prizes,” Ms. Lempert said. “But fortunately for us, people seem to be mov ing away from that. It’s more for the camaraderie and the community. So I might take some of the winning teams out for ice cream.” —Anne Levin

Police Blotter Police Statement On Recent Series Of Recorded Threats
We can help you make informed decisions.
© TOWN TALK A forum for the expression of opinions
Following the May 19 incident in which Princeton Police responded to a residence on Jefferson Road concerning a computerized threat made against its occupants, the department released the statement printed below. The Jefferson Road threat was phoned in to police headquarters and was a computer-generated voice. Police officers at the scene found the residence to be secure and the threat unfounded. The residents were not at home at the time. The threat was similar in nature to other recent threats received in Pr inceton and other areas throughout the state and country. Princeton detectives continue to investigate the source of these threats. ——— “Over the last several weeks our police department, our public schools, private residences and local businesses have received generalized threats that appear to be computer generated by the perpetrator(s). These threats have been general in nature and indicate an imminent threat to those to whom they are directed. Each threat received a full police response and subsequent investigation. In each case the threats were determined to be unfounded and deemed a hoax. Our department learned early on in these investigations that we are one of several communities statewide and many communities nationwide that are receiving similar threats. We believe that all of our incidents are connected to each other as well as connected to the other state and national investigations. We are currently coordinating investigative effor ts to determine the source of the threats with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies including the Office of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New Jersey State Police. We are also working closely with our local educational partners to maintain a safe and secure environment for our students and faculty. We will continue to communicate any future incidents through our alert systems and the media. We ask all community members to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity immediately by dialing 9-1-1.
• Recycling • MONDAY For Princeton
“Those who served and those who made the sacrifice on behalf of our country. We had two sons who served in the military. Fortunately, they were successful and came home in one piece. We’re here to support them and all the veterans.” — Frank and Kay Cessaro, Princeton
“I’m remembering my father who was in Africa during World War II. He spent three years over there, survived, and had a wonderful life afterward. I’m thinking of all the veterans and there aren’t that many left now. They did a lot to make the world the way it is now, a much better place to be living in. I’m really thankful for what the men and women did back in wartime.” —Jay Wilder, Plainsboro
“A time to remember all those who fought for our country so we can be free here to watch this parade today. I’m especially remembering the servicemen in my family like my grandfather, my twin brothers Alvin and Alzy Diamond, and my brother-in-law, Joseph Thorpe.” —Mignon Thorpe, Princeton
“I remember my father, who just passed away. He was very patriotic. Memorial Day means the freedom that all of our warriors, all of our military, have given us. Without them we would not be who we are today.” —Janet Schmell, Green Lane, Pa.
Doug: “My uncle Samuel Kutikoff who fought but didn’t die in Europe during the end of the war and was involved in the liberation of a lot of Europe.” Adrienne: “I’m also remembering a World War II veteran who didn’t die in the war, Walter Nollner (former conductor of the Princeton University Glee Club), who was a part of the enigma project that was able to break the code and allow for invasion of Normandy.” — Doug and Adrienne Rubin, Princeton

John & Alicia Nash field, surpassing even those of John von Neumann, the 20th century polymath and founding father of the discipline. His papers have a celestial and effortless quality, as if penned — coolly — while God murmured in his ear.” W hen the accident occurred, the Nashes were heading home from Newark Liberty International Airport after a trip to Oslo where Mr. Nash was awarded the prestigious Abel Prize by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. Mr. Nash was recognized for his seminal work on partial differential equations, which are used to describe the basic laws of scientific phenomena. He shared the nearly $750,000 prize with longtime colleague Louis Nirenberg, a professor emeritus at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Mr. Nirenberg told National Public Radio that the Nashes were supposed to take a limousine home, but the driver failed to show up. So they took a taxi instead. The two men received the Abel Prize from King Harald V at a ceremony on May 19. At the event, a videos about both men were aired. Mr. Nash’s voice provides narration for the feature about him, as he walks around the Princeton campus.
“I like to think of myself as being sort of like an enlightened philosopher,” he said in one part. “I think of myself as an exceptional mind and I’m specifically trained in mathematics,” he said in another. “I experience myself thinking differently from other people. This could be good if I could think of something that wasn’t what everyone could think of …. I like to think of myself as a genius, but later on I realized it’s meaningless.” The couple met at MIT, where Alicia Nash was a physics major and John Nash taught. They married, divorced several years later, and then remarried. Mrs. Nash, a mental health advocate, is credited with saving Mr. Nash’s life during his illness, taking him back into her home and caring for him even after they had divorced. Ms. Nasar wrote in A Beautiful Mind, “It was Nash’s genius … to choose a woman who would prove so essential to his survival.” Mary Caffrey, who worked in the University’s Office of Communications during the time the book was published, recalled working with Ms. Nash at the time. “She was so gracious, and you could hear her pride that John was finally receiving the recognition he was due,” she said. “While the Nobel certainly brought John Nash back into the academic community, I think Alicia realized that Sylvia Nasar’s remarkable book would bring John’s story to a wider audience, which, of course, it did. Alicia was wonderful to work with and I always admired her strength and devotion to her husband.” The couple’s son Johnny Nash, who also suffers from s c h i z op h r e n i a , s u r v i ve s them. Another son from Mr. Nash’s previous relationship, John David Stier, also survives. Mather-Hodge Funeral Home is handling the memorial ser vice, which is pr ivate.

No Teacher Contract continued from page one
Since last fall, talks have been facilitated by stateappointed mediator, Kathy Vogt. But after the two sides failed again to reach agreement Monday, May 4, Ms. Vogt referred the matter for fact-finding to the New Jersey Public Employees Relations Commission, a stage in the process that Board
President Andrea Spalla described as “costly and lengthy.” Similar to non-binding arbitration, the fact-finding process involves a formal hearing before a neutral “factfinder,” who eventually issues recommendations for settlement. “The process may take anywhere from six to 12 months,” said Lewis Gold-
stein, assistant superintendent for human resources in a press statement from the district. According to Mr. Goldstein, mediation is provided to the parties free of charge but a factfinder can charge between $1600 and 2500 per day; a cost that would be split equally between the parties. At the special meeting and in a press release afterward,
details of the Board’s latest offer to the PREA were made public, now that neither side is bound by the mediator’s confidentiality agreement. In response, PREA representative and chief negotiator John Baxter sent a statement to Town Topics. “The Board of Education’s agenda for last night’s meeting contained just two items: ratification of the contract with PR ESSA and ratification

of the contract with PAA. Board President A ndrea Spalla and Superintendent Steve Cochrane, however, spent much of the meeting talking about what wasn’t on the agenda — the negotiations with PREA. When questioned about the propriety of this conduct, Mr. Cochrane explained that sometimes items not on the agenda come up in discussion during the course of a board meeting. This did not serve to explain the powerpoint presentation on the negotiations with PR E A, obviously planned for use during the meeting.” According to the district, the Board’s most recent offer to PREA was structured almost identically to that with PRESSA and included “an aggregate increase in compensation at the effective rates of 2.44 percent in year one (retroactive to July 1, 2014), 2.87 percent in year 2 and 2.79 percent in year 3 of the new contract. The Board’s offer was contingent on PREA members remaining at their current Chapter 78 premium contribution levels and implementing cost-saving measures similar to those agreed to by the other two unions.” According to Mr. Baxter, “the Board’s effort to unfairly portray the PREA as unreasonable was blatant both during the meeting and in the Board’s press release. The PREA did not refuse to meet again as the Board has characterized the termination of talks on May 4.” Fur t her more, said Mr. Baxter, “The Board’s last proposal included two major inequities: it advanced some educators on the salary guide ahead of others with more experience; and it denied health care relief for others because they were hired within the past four years. We have been negotiating since March, 2014. The time has come for proposals that will get the job done — not proposals that are divisive and that the Board should know we can not take to our members for ratification.” Of Superintendent Steve Cochrane’s comment, made during the meeting, that the Board remains open to communications and returning to the negotiations table, Mr. Baxter said “We know that is true. What he didn’t tell the public is that it was PREA who reached out to him on May 7 and initiated that conversation.” —Linda Arntzenius

Princeton Day School Honored For Sustainability Efforts
P r inceton Day S chool is among four New Jersey schools to receive the 2015 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School Award. U.S. Secretary of Education Ar ne Duncan and Managing Director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality Christy Goldfuss announced last month that the school was being honored along with William Davies Middle School in Mays Landing; East Brunswick Vocational and Technical School in East Brunswick; and Timber Creek Regional High School in Erial. Fifty-eight schools, 14 districts, and nine post-secondary institutions were honored for their promising efforts to reduce environmental impact and utility costs, to promote better health, and to ensure effective environmental education, including civics and green career pathways. In addition, nine colleges and universities were honored with the Post-secondary Sustainability Award, in the first year of that award category. “These honorees are compelling examples of the ways schools can help children build real-world skill-sets, cut school costs, and provide healthy learning environments,” Mr. Duncan said. “U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools are an inspiration and deserve the spotlight for embodying strong examples of innovative learning and civic engagement. We also are thrilled to add institutions of higher education to the list of honorees this year for the first time in the award’s history.” “With so many tough challenges facing our planet, it is more important than ever to inspire and prepare the next generation of environmental stewards,” said Ms. Goldfuss. “By creating healthier learning environments, reducing their carbon footprints, and teaching students lasting lessons about innovation and sustainability, today’s honorees are leading the way for schools and districts across the country.” The schools, districts, and postsecondary institutions were confirmed from a pool of candidates voluntarily nominated by 30 state education agencies, with honorees selected from 28 jurisdictions. The list of 81 total selectees includes 52 public and six private schools. The public schools include two charter and three magnet schools. The schools serve various grade levels, including 35 elementary, 19 middle, and 17 high schools, with several schools having various K-12 configurations, from 28 of the nominating authorities. Forty-seven percent of the 2015 honorees serve a disadvantaged student body, 22 percent are rural, and onethird of the postsecondary institutions are community colleges.

Mailbox The 10-cent Bag Fee Would Put McCaffrey’s At a Significant Competitive Disadvantage
To the Editor: This August, McCaffrey’s Food Markets will celebrate our 23rd year as a member of the Princeton Community! Throughout these years, we’ve focused on providing excellent service, superb community relations and top-quality products to the Princeton area. We’ve also worked very hard to be good corporate citizens, through charitable efforts and solid environmental practices which are outlined below: McCaffrey’s Markets has cut our landfill waste stream by more than 50 percent by: • Initiating a food composting program • Recycling cardboard shipping cartons • Recycling plastic film • Starting a single-stream recycling program • Donating thousands of pounds of food per year to those in need McCaffrey’s has reduced our energy consumption by: • Replacing older, inefficient refrigeration equipment with state-of-the-art models that use 20 percent less energy • Swapping older, fluorescent bulbs with high efficiency L.E.D.s McCaffrey’s has reduced the impact of single use bags by: • Offering a rebate on every reusable bag used at our store • Selling reusable bags at check-out to encourage green behavior • Recycling 75 percent more plastic bags than we purchase during the year, by encouraging consumers to bring bags from other sources in addition to those obtained at McCaffrey’s All of the efforts outlined above are simply the result of our desire to do the right thing for the community and our Earth, rather than the result of a government mandate. Recently, there has been an effort in Princeton to impose a 10 cent per bag fee on our customers for every single use bag that leaves our store. While we understand the intent of the proposed ordinance, we cannot support it, as we believe that consumer education and choice are a far more equitable solution to the issues caused by single use bags. We believe continued collaboration between McCaffrey’s
and those concerned about our environment can be of tremendous benefit. What’s more, the proposed ordinance would place McCaffrey’s at a significant competitive disadvantage. None of our competitors operate within Princeton which means that none of them would be subject to the mandatory bag fee. We strongly encourage Mayor Liz Lempert and the Princeton Council to consider all of the above mentioned practices and successes, as well as McCaffrey’s desire to work together with environmental groups that want to better educate consumers about “best” eco-friendly practices, before deciding the fate of this proposed ordinance. JamES J. mccaffREy President, McCaffrey’s Market
Princeton Council Wastes Taxpayers’ Money on “Sidewalk to Nowhere”
To the Editor: When will Princeton Council members realize that when they make decisions behind closed doors, against the wishes of residents, that they will always face opposition! A majority of the Princeton Council members recently decided to reject a unanimous request made by all seven families directly affected by the plan to place sidewalks on Poe Road. The request to place a sidewalk on just one side of Poe Road would spare four families consisting of senior citizens and physically challenged persons the considerable burden of snow removal. Since this request was nothing more than what has been given to the residents of other local street where sidewalks were added, why would the Council deny this to senior citizens and those physically challenged? Council members should know that seniors on fixed incomes cannot afford to pay a service for snow removal. It is too bad that mayor Lempert, who in her official candidate profile states, “I will implement advisory Planning Districts to give residents a stronger voice in decision-making and to help neighborhoods retain their own special identity and sense of place,” could not convince her colleagues on the Council to listen to the unanimous request of Poe Road’s families. If sidewalks on both sides of the street are essential, isn’t it odd that members on the Council living on streets without sidewalks on both sides are clamoring to put them in other neighborhoods, but not their own? The council’s decision forcing sidewalks on Poe Road is a textbook example on how responsible and responsive government should never act: from the three-day notice given for the surprise meeting during August vacation time announcing the sidewalk, to the August 4 meeting itself when Poe residents who could attend were told that discussion of the sidewalk was forbidden, right up to the recent

Council decision to turn a deaf ear to residents. At that meeting, when the Council noted that there is little foot traffic on Poe to warrant sidewalk construction, one Council member stated that surely sidewalks would encourage the masses to walk on Poe! Are Council members willing to risk precious taxpayer’s money in a field of Dreams fantasy of “just build it and they will come?” The sidewalk on Poe will be off the current sidewalk grid. Since there are now, and for the foreseeable future, no sidewalks on Princeton-Kingston Road or on the adjoining section of Prospect Road, the Poe Road sidewalks paid for by taxpayers will be Princeton’s “sidewalks to nowhere.” The Council’s claim that sidewalks on Poe would reduce school bus costs in Princeton will not materialize until and unless sidewalks are constructed on Princeton-Kingston Road — a state road with historic status. There are, of course, some level headed Council members on the sidewalk issue, but they unfortunately are in a minority. Why does the Council keep spending taxpayers’ money on projects nobody asks for or even wants? Apparently the Council members from the former Borough have adopted a “one size fits all” approach to Princeton in their current obsession to cement the Princeton countryside!

Reminding Democrats That Primary Election Is Next Tuesday, June 2
To the Editor: June 2 is the primary election, and I am writing to urge Democrats to vote for Heather Howard and Lance Liverman, two strong Council candidates running for re-election. They have served us with distinction, focused on creating a more effective and responsive government and a welcoming and just community. On the Public Safety Committee, they have worked with the police department to re-introduce community policing and strengthen relations with the community. They bring diverse backgrounds and a shared commitment to keeping Princeton a livable community. WaLTER R. bLISS, JR. moore Street
PHS Addition At Odds With Historic Building Exterior and Neighborhood
To the Editor: your headline “School Expansion Worries neighbors” caught my eye. although I don’t take sides regarding the proposed expansion of PRISmS, I have very strong opinions when it comes to Princeton neighborhoods and schools. as a resident of Walnut Lane, I now avoid walking down my own street so as not to see the “architectural” addition to Princeton High School created there by Hillier architects. I believe that old and modern architecture can go hand in hand. (Just visit London and you’ll see how well the two can marry.) Our high school’s addition, however, is at odds with the school’s historic building exterior and with our neighborhood. Schools aren’t just any buildings. my research shows that childhood experience of place remains with us forever, unconsciously influencing our sense of design. Further research indicates that even dementia patients often can recall the look and feel of hometown schools when so many other memories fade. Is the concrete bunker that now forms the back of Princeton High what we want our children to conceptualize and remember as a well-designed environment? I call upon the Princeton Regional School’s facilities committee to find a remedy to the high school’s visual ills. as his legacy, perhaps mr. Hillier, himself, as a town leader, would like to contribute to the commissioning of a great public artwork to improve the addition’s façade. We need an inspiring, appropriate intervention to turn this architectural potato into a well-remembered peach. TOby ISRaEL Walnut Lane

undergraduate, I was clueless at first, not knowing what to study. I took courses in biology and in French and literature and sociology. Then I took “Introduction to Social Work,” which not only introduced the concepts of social work but also offered experience in the field. It was taught by Duwayne Battle and he became my mentor. I am a doer and social work is much more hands-on than sociology. After that I went on to take a master of social work, client center management at Fordham University in New York. My first job was with the New Jersey Association of the Deaf-Blind. I was a department of one and so I learned a lot over the four years I was there. Then one day, I saw the Princeton job described on a blog. Although I had experience working for a non-profit, I didn’t have any in local government but I applied. I didn’t believe I would get the job and when I did, I was amazed. It happened; they trusted me! When I first came to Princeton, I heard
after I came here, Deanna, is great with statistics. We did this together. We researched other models and found one in Snohomish in Washington State. We had very helpful conversations with them. This was, for me, the best way of learning about the community, local organizations and community leaders. We spoke with 200 households, and with people in public housing, affordable housing, and we had four focus groups: Latinos, Seniors, Singles, and Families. The CNA is about to wrap up and we will be presenting a report to the mayor and Council. It’s a long report but it’s important as it will allow us to better serve those in the community who are most vulnerable, people who may have limited resources and, in some cases, limited access to education. Every day is different. The first business day of the month I meet with those on public welfare assistance, about 35 clients currently come in for cash assistance and/ or welfare checks, their only income. For
people ask, why is there a social services department in this wealthy town? What is there to worry about in Princeton?. I learned very quickly from the nine-member Human Services Commission about the challenges, even here. Still, I wanted to hear about the needs of community,from the people themselves and shortly after I arrived I began a community needs assessment (CNA). Being a social worker, I knew all about needs assessment and that was my first challenge. I was fortunate that a volunteer who arrived from London about a month

I grew up in coastal city of Guayaquil, where my Dad ran a business he inherited from his father. He was an engineer and traveled a lot, doing electrical work. His family has been in the United States since the 1950s and when I was a child we often visited my grandma and my aunts in the summers. There was always the possibility of my family moving to the United States and I was in an English language school since I was five, at an all girl’s Catholic school. I came here with my Mom, Teresa, and my Dad, Walter, when I was 11, in the spring of 2001. We first settled in Bridgeton, South Jersey, but I spent the first summer visiting cousins in Canada—I have family everywhere—and when I got back my parents had moved to Woodstown, where they thought the schools would be better for me. My parents still live there and they love it. I like to spend as much time with them there as possible. Coming here as an immigrant myself and being bilingual, I found that it was natural for me to be helping other immigrants. I grew up in a town that had few minorities and learned how helpful it was to be bilingual in Spanish and English. I did a lot of volunteering. After graduating high school, I went to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. My bachelor’s degree is in social work and Spanish translation and interpretation. As an
Security Income or Social Security Disability, which can take a long time. Since I began, the members of the Human Services Commission have provided me with invaluable support and much has been accomplished because of them. This is a team effort and we now have the Send Hunger Packing Program, the ‘Serving Princeton’ newsletter; we have founded the immigration subcommittee and tackled the issue of wage theft, which resulted in getting the landscape workers ordinance in place. Washington D.C Earlier this year, I went to Washington with Mayor Liz Lempert with the My Brother’s Keeper Challenge program. When I got the email from the mayor about the visit to The White House, I couldn’t believe it. We met with White House staff, although we were hoping, of course, to meet with President Obama, but it wasn’t to be. Traveling by train was great; it allowed us time for debriefing on the way back; there was a lot of information to take in that day. Liz and I felt very blessed to be working in Princeton, which, although it has its challenges, it doesn’t have the serious problems of violence that are faced by other municipalities. After that visit, I came back to Princeton wanting to do more for kids through the My Brother’s Keeper program. There are so many people doing great things in Princeton. We want to support them and maximize their efforts. One way we can do that is by identifying gaps and help them in measuring outcomes—that’s one thing that busy organizations don’t always have time for, measuring the effectiveness of their efforts. Exploring Ecuador I live in Lawrenceville near the Lawrenceville-Hopewell trail and I enjoy riding my bike there and kayaking on the Delaware and Raritan Canal and on the lake in Mercer County Park. This part of New Jersey is great for access to New York City. In December of 2013, I went back to Ecuador for the first time in 14 years. It was wonderful and I’ve visited four times in the last two years, traveling the country seeing as much of it as I can. When I lived there with my parents, the coast and Quito was all I knew. Since then, I’ve discovered beaches, mountains, and the Amazon rain forest. I have fallen in love with Ecuador and my goal is to get to know it better. This October, I plan to visit the Galapagos.

Since coming to Princeton two years ago to become executive director of the municipality’s office of human services, Elisa Neira has been putting her bilingual skills to good use. Originally from Ecuador, Ms. Neira immediately began partnering with local police to improve community relations with minority residents, particularly those whose first language is Spanish. She spearheaded Princeton’s commitment to the Affordable Care Act, manages the Family Support Services Department and has developed a newsletter with resources and information for families. Among other good things, she collaborates with local schools and food banks to provide a supplemental weekend food program for children, the Send Hunger Packing Program, known as SHUPP. Interviewed in her office in Monument Hall, Ms. Neira, who is 27, tells me she’s an “open book.” Here, in her own words, she talks about the job she loves and about her recent love affair with the land of her birth. —Linda Arntzenius

Political theorist and UPS Foundation Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study Danielle Allen will conclude the spring 2015 lecture series at the David Library of the American Revolution on Tuesday, June 2, at 7:30 p.m. with “The Pursuit of Happiness: On John Adams and Egalitarianism in the Declaration of Independence.” The lecture will be held in Stone Hall at the Library, 1201 River Road (Route 32) in Washington Crossing, Pa., 1.3 mi. from the Washington Crossing Bridge. Admission is free, but reservations are required, and can be made by calling (215) 493-6776 ext. 100, or by sending an email to rsvp@dlar.org. The talk will be followed by a book signing reception with copies of her book, Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality, available for purchase. Our Declaration focuses on the three themes of the Declaration: equality, liberty, and the abiding power of language. While evoking the colonial world between 1774 and 1777, Ms. Allen describes the challenges faced by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston — the “Committee of Five” who had to write a document that reflected the aspirations of a “restive population and forge an unprecedented social contract.” In her talk she will give particular consideration to John Adams, who she believes played a much more significant role in the development of the Declaration of Independence t h a n i s conve nt ion a l ly recognized. “Among his central contributions was to provide the definitive grounding for the Declaration’s egalitarianism in the concept of ‘happiness,’” she notes, adding, “This was a move away from the slave - hold i ng s e c t ion s’ preferred commitment to ‘property.’” Danielle S. Allen holds degrees from Princeton, Harvard, and Kings College, Cambridge. She taught at the University of Chicago where she was Dean of the Division of Humanities from 2004 to 2007. In the fall she will join Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sci-
ences as a professor in the government depar tment, and serve as director of Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics. In addition to Our Declaration, she is the author of Why Plato Wrote; Talking to Strangers: Anxieties of Citizenship Since Brown v. Board of Education; and The World of Pro metheus: The Politics of Punishing in Democratic Athens.

Sherlock Discussion Group Meeting at Library Friday
Recent movies and television programs have reinforced t he eter nal popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, and brought new fans into existing groups that study the lore of the world’s
first consulting detective. Now a discussion group has b een for med t hat brings a new and different twist to the study of the world of Holmes. The group’s initial gathering is on Friday, May 29, from 6 :30 to 9 p.m. at the Princeton Public Library, 65 Witherspoon Street, Princeton. No hero is truly complete without an arch-enemy. For Sherlock Holmes, that nemesis was Professor James Moriarty, the man Holmes dubbed “The Napoleon of Crime.” The new discussion group, known as “The Napoleons of Crime,” will focus on studying the professor’s hypothetical behindthe-scenes role in major crimes and international incidents of the late Victorian era. “Although both Holmes and Moriarty were fictional, the pretense that they lived in the real world has sustained fans of the Conan Doyle stories for decades,” said Peter H.

“A VERY READABLE ANALYSIS”: In “Recovering from the Recovery: A Recipe for Survival” (Open Door $16.95), Princeton area CPA Anil B.

internal savings from a reduction of overtime and other expenses, but still faces a $60 million budget gap. The proposed fare adjustment is for approximately nine percent, which would make a trip between Princeton Junction and Penn Station New York rise from $16.50 to $17.75. The last fare hike, made five years ago, was 22 percent. Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer) was among the first to speak at the hearing, commenting that raising bus and train fares will mean that riders will defect and choose to drive their cars instead. “All of us benefit from low fares because the less cars that are on the road really helps out the environment and congestion,” he said. “If we chase more people into their cars on the roads, it’s not going to benefit us.” Senator Linda Greenstein (D-Middlesex) said, “There couldn’t be a worse time to raise train and bus fares on our working poor.” The changes could cause commuters to move out of New Jersey to live closer to their jobs, she added. Senator Shirley Turner (DMercer) urged the agency to find other methods of filling the budget gap. “In effect, you are adding insult to injury when you ask riders to pay more and receive less,” she said. Taking the bus route 655 out of service would be “very, very disturbing,” she added. S everal speakers took the oppor tunit y to blast Governor Chris Christie for
the proposed changes and other actions he has taken on public transportation. “Listen up, Governor Christie. We will not sit down and shut up,” shouted Martin Heraghty, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 824. He called Mr. Christie “Robin Hood in reverse” and called the proposal “a disgrace.” Many of the speakers were members of New Jersey For Transit, a coalition put together to express opposition to the transit agency’s proposal. “Transit riders can no longer afford to pay the price for New Jersey’s inaction,” said Jon Whiten, deputy director of New Jersey Policy Perspective. “If the governor and the legislature won’t step in to fix a crisis that’s been coming for decades, the least they can do is find a short-term solution in the 2016 budget to fill NJ Transit’s operating hole. Passing the buck to transit riders just won’t cut it.” —Anne Levin
Princeton Architecture Firm Wins AIA Merit Award
The New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA-NJ) has recognized ikon.5 Architects of Princeton with a merit award in the built open category in recognition of its work on The E.J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University. ikon.5 Architects designed the project as a glass and steel academic village with the goal of expressing forward-thinking business education for the post-Katrina Gulf South. The design team constructed the building with contemporary materials
including artistic, ceramiccoated mirror glass, and a bronze solar screen covering the project’s rotunda. The courtyard plan and building forms are contextual, recalling the sloped roof pavilions and arcaded courtyards of the adjacent 89-year-old campus, while the innovative glass technology communicates a forward looking enterprise. “The building is an exceptionally well-designed and unique architectural solution that will meet the educat ional demands of students entering rigorous business fields, and also allows for free-flowing, creative thought,” said Kimberly Bunn, AIA, president of AIA-NJ. “ikon.5 demonstrated a high level of expertise in creating the design for this academic complex. Their work is clearly deserving of the merit award with which they were recognized, and the faculty and students of LSU will be the beneficiaries of this forward-looking design for years to come.” Located at Nicholson Drive Extension, Baton Rouge, Louisiana the building houses 167,000 square feet of state of the art academic facilities including 24 interactive tiered classrooms, 18 collaborative team rooms, a 300-seat auditorium and a mock trading room. Additionally, faculty and department offices surround the landscaped courtyard. “We’re extremely proud of this signifi cant honor,” said Joseph G. Tattoni, FAIA, Principal of ikon.5 Architects. “The university was looking for a building design that would align with its mission of generating innovation
in business education for the southern part of the country. We managed to create a design that meets this vision, while paying homage to the campus’s storied history.” ———

An art historian and artist, depicting items from her Oil Paintings by Eva Siroka she is a graduate of Hunter collection, such as in “Two At Plainsboro Library Gallery An exhibition of oil paintings by Princeton ar tist, author, and art historian Eva Jana Siroka will open at the Plainsboro Public Library May 30. “Flowers and People in Art,” will run until June 24. There will be a reception in the gallery on Sunday, June 14, from 2 to 4 p.m., where Ms. Siroka will discuss her work and also sign copies of her most recent book, My Life with Berti Spranger. That day’s sales will benefit the library. The exhibition will feature floral paintings and still lifes, as well as a few figurative works. A celebration of color and light, it is a fitting introduction to the library’s upcoming summer program theme, “Local Color.” F lowe r s, as cou nt l e s s sources of inspirations and design, have also consumed Ms. Siroka for some 40 years. A master gardener with awards from the Canadian Horticultural Society, she has designed and planted both her Canadian and her Princeton gardens. The core of her current exhibition focuses on flowers as seen through the elements of design, color, and light. In some compositions the floral pieces are an extension of real space, and in others they dissolve into colorful geometric shapes while preserving their identity. Classically trained in the traditions of Renaissance and Baroque art, Ms. Siroka is also influenced by the contemporar y ar t scene. She was born in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, educated in the United States, and lived in Canada for 20 years.
College, CUNY (BFA) and Princeton University (PhD). Since 1971, her dual training in art history and fine arts continues to merge in academic and creative writing, and her art. With works in North America and Europe, she is currently preparing for her forthcoming exhibition at the Joseph D. Carrier Art Gallery in Toronto. In 2005, Ms. Siroka published a self-illustrated histor ic novel Maddalena. Her new illustrated book, published by Jorge Pinto Books, My Life with Berti Spranger, is being released this month. It was inspired by a recent show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, titled, “Bartholomeus Spranger: Splendor and Eroticism in Imperial Art.” While avant-garde artists, sculptors, and architects often transgress limitations of the media, style, and even what art may represent, Ms. Siroka’s art is rooted in realism with a special focus on color. As a draughtsman, she remains attached to her training in Renaissance and Baroque art, having learned to draw by copying Italian masters whom she still considers her true teachers. As a painter, she is drawn to old masters as well as to contemporary artists. Her “Leda” is an homage to Tintoretto (1518 -1594) and Picasso (1881-1973), while her floral pieces evoke compositions of Flemish 17th-century artists like Jan Davidsz De Heem (1606-1684), and specifically Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750). While the majority of Eva Siroka’s paintings are stilllife composit ions, of ten
Friends,” a porcelain group with a Pierrot and his dog, she has also produced figural compositions. “Leda,” a beautiful woman who enticed Jupiter, was inspired by the art of two artists born some 350 years apart. “Georgia,” one of the female heads in a trio, has earned her subtitle “Stolen Woman,” as the full scale design was stolen from the artist’s mother’s hospital room after she presented it to her on Mother’s Day. Redrawn and painted, she joins her happier mates in more subdued tones. The Plainsboro Library is located at 9 Van Doren Street, Plainsboro. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (609) 2752897. ———

IN PURSUIT OF BEAUTY: Lambertville photographer Jim Amon captured this image while searching for beauty in unexpected places. His work will be on display in the exhibition, “Beauty is the Hook,” the main gallery at Gallery 14 in Hopewell from May 29 through June 28. There will be an opening reception May 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. and a Meet the Photographers session Sunday, May 31, from 1 to 3 p.m. Gallery 14 member Charles Miller will show “Images from Ireland” in the companion Goodkind Gallery. Gallery 14 is located at 14 Mercer Street in Hopewell. Gallery hours are weekends, noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment. For more information, call (609) 333-8511, or visit: http://photogallery14.com. to be a bit unsatisfying and yet beauty has long been the goal of many photographers,” said Mr. Amon. “I pursue beauty in my photographs. I pursue beauty in unexpected places. I pursue beauty with exceptional composition, or unusual subject matter, or remarkable texture or line. I pursue beauty with grace. Our world is too full of ugliness or simple banality to make art that does not have beauty as the hook.” A New Jersey photographer and environmentalist for over 40 years, Mr. Amon has had his work shown in several environmental planning documents, in newspapers and magazines, and in several galleries throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Mr. Miller’s exhibition is titled Images from Ireland. “The Emerald Island has a strong attraction to all travelers,” said the photographer. “It is known for it’s beautiful scenery and quirky style.” This series of photographs by Mr. Miller, were taken on a recent visit to Ireland and capture the spirit of the land and its people with a mix of the contemporary and the historic. They include elements of fun and a great deal of traditional lore. “Charles provides a glimpse of not only his memories but the memories of all of the travelers before him,” commented Gallery 14’s Martin Schwartz. Gallery 14 is located at 14 Mercer Street in Hopewell. Galler y hours are weekends, noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment.

Don Draper’s California Dream: Is It a Smile, a Half-Smile, or a Smirk? wise man of the mountain who tells you “Life is just a bowl of cherries, my son.” Or maybe, “life is just an ice-cold bottle of Coke.” But what’s going on with his mouth? Is that a smile, a half-smile, or is it, as some have suggested, a smirk? This isn’t the Mona Lisa we’re talking about, it’s our last look at one of the most complex and memorable characters to emerge from post-millennial television, along with Tony Soprano, Al Swearengen, and Walter White. The last word comes from the realm of the absurd (“the best ad ever made,” says Weiner) as the angelic face
“it’s nice to have your cake and eat it too”), the ending didn’t make me regret bowing out of Mad Men two seasons earlier. Why did my wife and I give up when we did? Besides losing interest in the characters, the milieu, and the storylines, what put us off as much as anything was Don Draper’s second marriage (his first wife Betty’s second was no less yawn-inspiring). In an amusing bit of Esalen hilltop stream of consciousness on the New Yorker website (“What Don Draper Was Thinking in the Final Minutes of ‘Mad Men’”), John Kenney says it well, “Megan spoke French. Megan was annoying. God, she was annoying. Everything about her was annoying, even
of a young girl fills the screen singing “I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,” which segues into “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” while a we-arethe-world chorus of youths join in, each with the iconic bottle in hand, closing out the final season of Mad Men with three words dear to the heart of Henry James: “It’s the real thing.” Thus, what for most mortals would signify the achievement of inner-peace is for Don Draper simply the return of his wayward muse. So much for the smirk. If anything, the half-smile is a work in progress, conveying a sense of pent-up inspiration, thoughtful urgency, if not impatience, to start putting the vision in play. Bowing Out Early For all its effectiveness (as Weiner notes,
when she spoke French, which is rare, as French is so melodic. I don’t miss her. Why did I give her a million dollars?” The Nuisance of Ads The Sopranos ended brilliantly and controversially as Journey sang “Don’t Stop Believin’,” a choice made with a push of the button by Tony Soprano, who is looking up watchfully when the screen goes black. Whether the abrupt cut-off suggests sudden death or a metaphor for the ways of the world (sadly played out by the untimely death of James Gandolfini), it was a great ending to a greater if no less flawed work of television art (and one in which Weiner was creatively involved). In another great series, Breaking Bad, Walter White also died accompanied by irresistibly upbeat rock and roll, Badfinger’s “Baby Blue.”

M
ad Man begins and ends with Don Draper, formerly Dick Whitman, alone, and yet not alone. In the opening scene of the pilot, it’s the dawn of the sixties, he’s in a crowded, lively New York bar, people are drinking, smoking, laughing, talking, and at first all we see is the back of his head. We’re curious right away because he’s making notes on some cocktail napkins, and although he’s not actually sitting apart from the others, he’s a thoughtful island unto himself until he asks an elderly black waiter what brand of cigarettes he smokes and why. When the waiter admits how much he loves smoking, even though his wife has read somewhere that it “will kill you,” it’s obvious from Draper’s expression that this is an advertising issue he’s been seriously pondering. We know enough about the show at this point to intuit that his job is to sell people on a product that may be deadly. He looks around. Everyone’s smoking. A decade later, the sixties is history and the same man is one of a group chanting Om at an Esalen-style retreat on Big Sur. The last words we hear from the group leader are “A new day … new ideas … a new you.” The camera moves in and this time we’re seeing Don Draper/Dick Whitman face to face, close up, though in reality we’re seeing a third person, the actor Jon Hamm, whose classic Hollywood charisma has anchored Mad Man from the beginning; he is the face of the series. During his on-the-American-road escape from Mad Avenue in the previous episodes, which the show’s creator Matthew Weiner says were inspired by the seminal TV series The Fugitive, Hamm conveys the rugged, hungover ambience of a taller, handsomer Humphrey Bogart. The Real Thing? So why end a seven season series about a Madison Avenue ad firm in the sixties with a Big Sur meditation session? As we stare into an immense close-up of the face that launched the show that saved AMC, we seem to be living out Dylan’s line, “Something’s happening here but you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?” Matthew Weiner has left it up to his audience to figure out what’s going on with this deeply conflicted artist who discovered his genius in the most absurd and demeaning of professional endeavors. Is he happy? Has he achieved the big E? Or is enlightenment beneath him? A joke? Like the old one about the quest for the

However true to itself, Mad Men’s Coke commercial ending inevitably trivializes the moment and reminds us that all these hours of generally superior television have been about a phenomenon so unappealing that the audience numbers lifting the last episode above all others depend on TiVo estimates of people who prefer to watch a show about advertising without enduring the nuisance of ads. Don’s fate is to be a poet in an essentially crass and unpoetical profession. Imagine Keats or Shelley brainstorming ads or writing jingles. The Show’s Finest Hour On the other hand, anyone who has a problem with the idea of ending one of television’s most celebrated creations with a Coke ad must have missed the Season One finale when Draper unveils his sales concept for the Kodak slide projector the company is calling The Wheel. Like a film director in a screening room, Draper turns down the lights and presents a slide show featuring images from happier days with his estranged family. As the images come and go, he defines nostalgia in terms that reflect his ambiguous personal history (“the pain from an old wound”), telling his clients that what they’re selling isn’t technology but memory. “This device isn’t a spaceship; it’s a time machine,” he says. “It goes backwards and forwards. It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel. It’s called the carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels, around and back home again to a place where we know we are loved.” f for nothing more than that moment, Matthew Weiner and everyone involved in the series has earned the acclaim and awards. As for describing Don Draper as an embattled poet, who else would notice someone in a bar reading Frank O’Hara’s “Meditations in an Emergency” and be curious enough to read it? You knew Mad Men was something special when Jon Hamm read from O’Hara in voiceover, “Now I am quietly waiting for/ the catastrophe of my personality/to seem beautiful again,/and interesting, and modern.” ——— A review of Mad Men following the second season (“Jon Hamm Unforgettable as Mad Men’s Don Draper, the Soul of a Great Series”), echoed here, appeared in Town Topics, July 29, 2009. —Stuart Mitchner

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MELANIE CLARKE FUND: PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov (second from left) and Board President David Tierno presented Melanie Clarke with an oil painting on stage at Richardson Auditorium. In honor of Ms. Clarke’s 25 years of service as the executive director, The Melanie Clarke Fund was established in her honor with an initial commitment of $200,000 from the orchestra’s board of trustees.
PSO Honors Executive Director Melanie Clarke
Last Sunday’s Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) concert Viva Verdi! began with a surprise presentation to out-going Executive Director Melanie Clarke. PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov and Board President David Tierno presented Ms. Clarke with flowers and an oil painting of the orchestra on stage at Richardson Auditorium. PSO’s board of trustees commissioned the painting by Philadelphiabased artist Gregory Prestegord — the perfect gift for the art-loving executive director. Mr. Milanov addressed Ms. Clarke with affection, observing that Melanie’s accomplishments and dedication reflected her deep love for the Princeton Symphony Orchestra and the community. Mr. Tierno thanked her for her 25 years of outstanding service to the PSO and announced the establishment of The Melanie Clarke Fund in her honor, created with an initial commitment of $200,000 from the orchestra’s board of trustees. Ms. Clarke expressed her gratitude for the opportunity
to have had such a fulfilling career with the orchestra. She thanked Mr. Milanov, the board, the musicians, and PSO’s audience and patrons whose support and generosity make it possible for the orchestra to thrive. The concert, which was the final performance by the PSO this season, Viva Verdi!, followed and featured performances by opera stars Michelle Johnson, soprano; Margaret Lattimore, mezzo soprano; Zach Borichevsky, tenor; and Hugh Russell, baritone. Conducted by Music Director Rossen Milanov, the afternoon’s selections included excerpted scenes from Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore, La Traviata, and Aida. Anyone wishing to cont r ibute to T h e Mela n i e Clarke Fund can call the office at (609) 497-0020 or send a check made out to the Princeton Symphony Orchestra Melanie Clarke Fund to P.O. 250, Princeton, N.J. 08542. The fund will become part of PSO’s endowment, earmarked to support innovation and excellence, hallmarks of Ms. Clarke’s leadership of the PSO.

20 Years of PSO’s Education Programs
Recently, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra performed four concerts for children and families at Richardson Auditorium featuring the hilariously narrated orchestral work The Composer is Dead, with music by Nathaniel Stookey and text by Lemony Snicket. The concert concluded the orchestra’s 20 th season of PSO’s education outreach program serving more than 10,000 local school children. Music Director Rossen Milanov’s interaction with young audience members during the performance at Richardson Auditorium was an extension of year-round in-school visits made by PSO musicians to introduce children to the four instrument “families” — string, brass, wind, and percussion. At the concert, PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov introduced every instrument in the orchestra, demonstrating how they create the mood and characters in the music’s storytelling. Great fun ensued as the day’s narrator, composer and PSO board member Julian Grant announced “The Composer is Dead!” and the
rest of the concert was spent unraveling the mystery of which instrument murdered the composer. Laughter and enthusiasm in the concert hall is just what E xecutive Director Melanie Clarke envisioned when she founded BRAVO! in 1995. During her years as a violinist with the orchestra, she witnessed the excitement on the faces of children when she performed for her daughters’ elementary school classes. “I wanted to capture that moment, to spread it to thousands of young people in our community and to inspire a life-long love of music,” recalls Ms. Clarke. Having grown into a program that serves over 30 schools, Ms. Clarke estimates that over 10,000 children benefit from BRAVO! annually. This includes middle school students who participate in the orchestra’s art-response program Listen Up!, the annual master class Master It!, a high school composition workshop Compose It!, and, of course, the ever popular PSO BRAVO!

Hot Pursuit
Cop and Mob Widow Are Unlikely Bedfellows in Road Comedy
A
s the notorious kingpin of a drug cartel that is terrorizing Texas, Vincente Cortez (Joaquin Cosio) has orchestrated over a hundred murders. However, he’s never been convicted because the witnesses mysteriously disappear before they can testify against him. Therefore, the authorities decide to take special precautions with the Rivas couple, the Cortez confederates who agreed to become state’s witnesses in the latest case against him. When the police escort arrives to place them in the witness protection program, the husband is killed in an ambush but his wife Daniella (Sofia Vergara) and policewoman Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) barely escape in a hail of bullets. As they drive away in the Rivas’s Cadillac convertible, they realize that they’ve been targeted by mobsters and crooked cops. So, with no one but each other to lean on, the police officer and outlaw grudgingly join forces during their trip to a safe sanctuary
in Dallas. Of course, cooperating is easier said than done, because they’re polar opposites in almost every way. Daniella is a striking, statuesque chatterbox as oppposed to Cooper’s plain, diminutive, straitlaced personality. Nevertheless, the pair gradually bond during their road trip in which they have a close brush with death every five miles or so. Directed by Anne Fletcher (The Proposal), Hot Pursuit is a mindless diversion full of the staples of the unlikely buddies genre, such as car chases and accidental drug use. Although the movie fails to break cinematic ground, it provides enough laughs to for this critic to recommend it. Very Good (HHH). Rated PG-13 for sexuality, profanity, violence, and drug use. In English and Spanish with subtitles. Running time: 87 minutes. Distributor: Warner Brothers. —Kam Williams

Bringing Work Ethic, Toughness on a Daily Basis, Richardson Leading PU Open Rowing into NCAAs
F
aith Richardson started her high school sports career as a cross country star for Wellesley High near Boston. But after suffering a series of injuries, she took up rowing in the winter of her sophomore year to rehab and stay in shape. That decision changed the course of her life as Richardson fell in love with crew. Transferring to Groton School (Mass.), Richardson continued to excel in running but her rowing career took off as she competed in the 2009 and 2010 Junior World Championships and led the Groton women’s 8 to victory at the 2011 Women’s Henley Regatta. For Richardson, running and rowing complemented each other. “Both sports require the same kind of intensity and dedication,” said Richardson, who was the 2009 ISL cross country champion and was a three-year MVP for the Groton squad. “Running is tough.” Opting to focus on rowing in college, Richardson joined the Princeton University women’s open crew program in 2011. Richardson acknowledged that the first two years of college rowing were tough for her. “Probably the volume and intensity was the biggest difference, any freshman will tell you that,” said Richardson, who rowed on the second varsity 8 her first two seasons, helping the boat take first in the Ivy championships and fourth in the NCAAs in 2012 and then place third in the Ivies and sixth at the NCAAs the next year. “The biggest jump was from freshman to sophomore year; I did a lot of strength work that summer. I had some injuries freshman year. I had a hernia at the end of fall and a shoulder injury that winter
that kept me out for 12 weeks.” Competing on the second varsity helped Richardson become a stronger rower. “The 2V has traditionally been a good boat, you can learn a lot from it,” said Richardson. “My freshman year on the boat was awesome. We had really good senior leadership. It was a really tough boat. It was also a really good boat in my sophomore year.” As a junior, Richardson moved up to the varsity 8, helping it win the Ivy regatta and then finish seventh at the NCAAs. “It was definitely tough, it was a different boat,” said Richardson, reflecting on moving up to the top boat. “We had a rough start and then did well in Ivies. The NCAAs was definitely humbling for the boat coming off Ivies. Winning the petite final was good coming from where we were.” Coming into her final season, Richardson had the honor of being selected as the co-captain of the open team along with classmate Nicki Byl. “You always look up to the captain, we have had some very strong women on this team,” said Richardson. “I am a major believer in leading by example. Nicki is the co-captain and we both bring different things.” Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny credits Richardson with setting a good example on a daily basis. “Faith is very hard working,” said Dauphiny. “She has a work ethic that very few have and is an example of what it takes.” The Tigers had to work hard to get on track this spring, getting a late start on the water due to icy conditions on Lake Carnegie. Princeton suffered early season defeats to Virginia and Brown before

ending the regular season with a 4-0 run and taking third at the Ivy Regatta. As a result of the strong finish, the Tigers earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships, which are taking place from May 2931 at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center in Gold River, Calif. Princeton is one of three collegiate programs (Brown and Washington) to be invited to every NCAA Championships regatta since the inaugural event in 1997. For Richardson, making the NCAAs is the ideal way to cap her Princeton career. “Definitely getting the bid for the NCAAs was great, that was one of the goals we had this season,” said Richardson. “We need to find more speed against the boats we have raced, as well as the different boats we will see. We have been working pretty hard this week.” KEEPING THE FAITH: Princeton University women’s open crew star Richardson and her class- Faith Richardson churns through the water in recent action.

Playing in the Ivy League Championship in 2013 as a freshman, Quinn Prchal got off to an inauspicious start. “I was six-over for the first six holes,” said Prchal. “I was working my way back the rest of the event; it was a lot of patience. I hadn’t played in an Ivy championship and I let it get to me at first.” Displaying his talent and poise, Prchal worked his way all the way back into a tie for fourth, helping Princeton win the team title and earning Ivy Rookie of the year honors in the process. “It was a bunched leaderboard; there were five teams within a couple of shots coming into the last day,” recalled Prchal. “It was really exciting. In some tournaments, you plod along and it falls in your lap. We went out and won the event, that was exciting.” After taking a hiatus from school for a year, Prchal returned this spring for his second Ivy tourney. Utilizing his experience, Prchal produced some exciting golf, carding a six-under 210 in the three-round competition at the Grace Course at Saucon Valley in Bethlehem, Pa. to earn the individual title. Once again, Prchal started a little slowly, firing a threeover 75 in the first round before producing rounds of 68 and 67 to win the title by three strokes over Penn’s Austin Powell. He was the second Tiger in three years to win the title as Greg Jarmas prevailed in 2013. “I think part of it was familiarit y with the golf course,” said Prchal, whose heroics helped Princeton place second in the team standings at the event, just one stroke behind champion Penn. “We had a practice round and then started on Friday. The final day was one of my best rounds. I was seven-
under through 13; I made a couple of bogeys down the stretch. Mostly I putted the ball really well. I gave myself opportunities. It is very exciting. You work hard to try to put yourself in that position. My coach and teammates helped me all spring, pushing me to put everything together.” Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago in Glenview, Ill., Prchal worked harder on baseball and hockey than golf. “My parents both played a little bit, I picked up the game on the range when I was five or six playing with them,” said Prchal. “I played baseball and hockey more when I was younger. I fit the sports in with the seasons.” Standing 5’0 in eighth grade, Prchal’s prospects in baseball and hockey weren’t great at the high school level so he started focusing on golf. After a spurt which saw him gain 10 inches in height by his sophomore year, Prchal grew into a star golfer. “I had a couple of strong finishes in some state junior events,” recalled Prchal, a three-time All-Conference per for mer and t wo -time team M VP for Glenbook South High and the winner of the 2012 Illinois State Amateur tourney. “On the nat iona l level at A JG A (American Junior Golf Association), I didn’t win but I had solid finishes, some top 10s.” Taking a tour of east coast schools after playing in a tournament held in Massachusetts, Prchal visited Princeton and felt an immediate comfort level. “I am from the suburbs and I liked the suburban feel of the school,” said Prchal. “I had an official visit later. I liked the guys and the coach (Will Green). The Springdale course is close to campus, I didn’t have to go 20 minutes to play.”

Prchal star ted play ing from the start of his career, tying for 22nd in the season-opening McLaughlin Invitational, a three-round event hosted by St. John’s that wrapped up at Bethpage Red on Long Island. “I was ner vous, I was not exactly sure how well I would play,” said Prchal. “It was a different level from high school. Our first event was at St. John’s; I played two decent rounds and then had a good one.” In the spring, Prchal had a good experience competing in the NCAA Regional, carding a six-over 222 to tie for 57th. “It was exciting to play in a field that strong,” said Prchal. “I saw a different mentality. They were going out to make birdies and taking advantage of conditions. You had to find your second gear; I have been working on doing that. It is feeling comfortable at two-under and then working hard and pushing to make more birdies. It is something I needed to learn.” In the NCAA regional held on the Course at Yale earlier this month, Prchal put that knowledge to work, shooting six-over 216 to tie for 37th in the 75-player field. “It is a fun golf course;
the first two days I didn’t play poorly but I didn’t score well,” said Prchal, who carded a three-under 67 in the final day of the competition to move up the leaderboard. “I hit the ball well on the first day and I had a couple of bad swings. On the second day, I got stuck on the second hole. The third day, I hit the ball great. I was able to string together a bunch of birdies and finished in the middle of the pack.” Looking ahead to his junior season at Princeton, Prchal believes the Tigers have the talent to be at the front of the pack. “With everybody back, it is exciting,” said Prchal, who is planning to play in the Illinois State Amateur and the Illinois Open this summer and hopes to qualify for the U.S. Amateur which is being held in the Chicago area this year. “We brought in three really good freshmen (Michael Davis, Marc Hedrick, and Eric Mitchell) this year. We learned what we need to work on. We came together later in the year. We want to start off strong in the fall and push things to a higher level.” —Bill Alden

MIGHTY MAC: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Mike MacDonald heads to goal in a game this spring. Last week, senior star MacDonald was named as an USILA (U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association) honorable mention All-America. Attackman MacDonald scored 78 points this season on 48 goals and 30 assists, making him the first Princeton player ever with a season of at least 40 goals and at least 30 assists. His 78 points are the most ever in a season by a Princeton men’s lacrosse player. Senior midfielder and team captain Kip Orban, who led all Division I midfielders in goals and goals per game, was named a USILA second-team All-America. Orban finished the 2015 campaign with 45 goals and seven assists. His 45 goals were 11 more than the previous record for a Princeton middie. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

It was lights, camera, action for the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team as it started last week by facing Haverford School (Pa.) in the championship game of the Inter-Ac Challenge. The battle of unbeatens between No. 4 Hun and topranked Haverford at PPL Stadium in Chester, Pa. on the evening of May 19 was billed as a national championship game and was broadcast on TV over the Comcast network. The Raiders proved ready for prime time, battling the Fords hard for three quarters, trailing 10-7 entering the fourth. Haverford, though, pulled away over the last 12 minutes to earn a 15-8 victory. Three days later, another crown was at stake as Hun hosted 13-time champion Lawrenceville in the state Prep A title game. After licking their wounds from the Haverford game, Hun post-graduate star attacker Chris Donovan and his teammates weren’t going to let disappointment and fatigue stand in their way as they went for the program’s
first Prep title since 1998. “Bouncing back from Monday night was very tough,” said Donovan. “We gave it our all against the No. 1 team in the nation, they played incredibly. We knew we had to come out hard, we knew we were going to be tired. This got pushed back because of that. We are just hungry and humble, that is our motto this year.” In the early going against the Big Red, Hun looked a little tired as it ended the first quarter clinging to a 4-3 lead. In the second quarter, however, the Raiders clicked at both ends of the field, outscoring Lawrenceville 7-1 to seize control of the contest. “I think it was getting back to it, we were a little tired and took time getting the feel of the game again,” said Donovan. “A lot of emotions were spent on Monday night obviously but getting back here was great. We knew what was at stake. We hadn’t won one since 1998; that was in the back of our minds. We just got back to practice and worked on things we needed to work on and obviously it showed here.”
Featuring gifts that are distinctly Princeton
In the second half, the Raiders took care of business, weathering a couple of Lawrenceville flurries to earn a convincing 14-6 win. “We knew they were going to come back strong, they are a very talented team with a lot of big, strong guys,” said Donovan, who ended up with four goals and an assist on the day. “I bounced right off of one of them and I was like oh my god. They have great players. We just kept going.” In reflecting on Hun’s great campaign, which saw the Raiders post a 19-1 record, Donovan pointed to chemistry as a key ingredient in the squad’s success. “I think it is just everybody loves each other, I have to say that,” said Donovan. “Half of the team boards at the school and we are up with each other until 1 in the morning, talking about lacrosse and the state championship. Since the fall, we have been going to bed every night dreaming about this.” The attack line of Georgetown-bound Donovan and fellow post-graduates, Yalebound Brendan Rooney and Hobart recruit Chris Aslanian, gave Hun’s foes nightmares this season. “Chris, Rooney, and me had a great connection,” said Donovan, who led Hun in scoring this scoring with 105 points on 56 goals and 49 assists. “Aslanian is my roommate, we talk about this all the time. We stay after practice every day, catching passes. Rooney has taught me a lot of things I will never forget, like the behind the back shots. Chris Aslanian is a great kid, a great person, a great athlete.” Hun head coach MV Whitlow was thrilled to see his squad show its greatness in the win over Lawrenceville. “The mindset was to finish,” said Whitlow. “I think the willfulness of this team and the character of the team really was evident coming off of that loss on Monday night to the No. 1 team in the country. Being able to rebound emotionally and physically and play a state championship game just
STREAK-BUSTERS: Members of the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team celebrate after they beat Lawrenceville 14-6 in the state Prep A title game last Thursday. It was Hun’s first Prep A title since 1998 and snapped a 13-year title streak for Lawrenceville. The win gave the Raiders a final record of 19-1. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) says a lot about these boys and their character. This is a really special group of young men, a very high character group of men and they were a pleasure to coach.” It was a pleasure for Whitlow to watch his team go on its 7-1 second quarter run. “I think we opened the game up a little bit, we got into transition,” said Whitlow. “We figured out what their defensive schematic was after one quarter and we knew where the openings are and we took advantage of them.” Whitlow noted that Donovan has been particularly adept at taking advantage of his scoring chances. “He is truly a generational type player,” asserted Whitlow, who also got three goals from Aslanian in the win with Rooney and Cole West chipping in two apiece. “The level of lacrosse in the Princeton area is very good 2x10 this year and I think some of that is due to Chris Donovan and his level of play. His performance Monday night against Haverford was truly an inspiring performance. They were shutting him off today so I put him in the midfield to let him be the athlete that he is and he had four goals.” Achieving the goal of winning the Prep A title was sweet for Whitlow, a former assistant coach at Lawrenceville. “It means everything to these guys,” said Whitlow. “I really wanted these guys to have champions next to their
name and they will have it now and we will hang a banner. This team will live on at the school because they deserve that and they worked for it.” In Whitlow’s view, the title run was fueled by a focus on team. “The closeness of the group, the selflessness stands out,” said Whitlow. “The group really didn’t care about individual stuff, they were all about the team
and the teammates. They really worked hard in the offseason and they were a truly selfless, high character group of young men.” Donovan, for his part, will always remember his year with the group. “It has been great, this school has given me everything I could ask for,” said Donovan. “I am going to miss the hell out of it.” —Bill Alden

Buoyed by Meekins’ Doubles Play, Leadership, PDS Boys’ Tennis Wins 3rd Straight Prep B Crown
While most tennis players aspire to be singles stars, Josiah Meekins relished playing doubles throughout his career with the Princeton Day School boys’ squad. “I was coming off eighth grade and I played high singles,” said Meekins. “In high school, I was more part of a team. I didn’t mind playing doubles. I would be ecstatic to play singles but I wanted to help the team. In terms of the team aspect, that was more fun for me, there was more camaraderie, playing with someone else.” Meekins’ outstanding play at doubles and team-first attitude over the last four years has helped the PDS team emerge as a force in state Prep B circles. In 2013, the Panthers shared the Prep B crown in a three-way tie before winning it outright this spring. Coming into this year’s tourney, first doubles star Meekins and his teammates were primed to achieve a three-peat. “We were pretty confident, we knew our matchups because we got the draw pretty early,” said Meekins, who helped PDS sweep all 10 matches in the preliminary rounds on May 17 as PDS clinched a tie for the title before the final round was even contested. “I was surprised but confident that we could sweep the matches on Sunday.” The Panthers took care of business in the finals on May 19 at Wardlaw-Hartridge as junior Scott Altmeyer prevailed at second singles and freshman Lex Decker won at third singles to clinch the championship outright as PDS piled up 12 points with runner-up Montclair Kimberley scoring nine. Meekins and his team-
mates weren’t in the mood to share the title. “I was tired of having our name next to someone else so that was lots of motivation,” said Meekins. “We wanted to three peat.” Accomplishing the threepeat was a special way for Meekins to end his PDS career. “I know it meant a lot to everyone but especially to Hari (Rajagopalan) and me as seniors,” said Meekins, who is heading to Goucher College where he will be playing for its men’s tennis team. “We had such a good group of guys, we really wanted to win it for them. I think this was one of the closest group of guys.” Meekins developed a good chemistry this spring with his doubles partner, freshman Vivek Sharma. “In my first season, I won a second doubles Prep B title with James Sanderson,” said Meekins. “I was a freshman and he was a senior. This year, it was reversed. I was the senior. I tried to motivate Vivek and pull him through. It made my year. I brought him along and we played really well.” PDS head coach Will Asch credited the affable Meekins with setting a positive tone for the team. “Josiah was a great leader, he is such an excellent kid,” said Asch of Meekins, who also starred for the PDS boys’ hoops team and received the school’s “Frankie K” sportsmanship senior award along with classmate Katie Alden. “Everyone got behind him, ever yone wanted to play doubles with him.” Meekins’ fellow senior, Rajagopalan, produced an
SPOILS OF VICTORY: Members of the Princeton Day School boys’ tennis team display the trophies they earned last week as the program won its third straight state Prep B title. PDS scored 12 points at the competition as runner-up Montclair Kimberley had nine. The Panther championship line-up included Anupreeth Coramutla at first singles, Scott Altmeyer at second singles, Lex Decker at third singles, Josiah Meekins and Vivek Sharma at first doubles with Hari Rajagopalan and Jacob Chang at second doubles. The team’s head coach is Will Asch and the assistant is Ed Tseng. excellent finish at second doubles. “Hari had a great season, he really came on in the last few weeks,” asserted Asch. “He played the best tennis of his four years in the last few weeks of the season. He made a dramatic improvement. Andy Erickson played with Hari most of the year, in practice, some of other kids can beat them in singles but in a match, the seniors are much better, they are much more coachable. They had a lot of experience playing together.” There wasn’t much drama involved in connection with PDS clinching the outright title. “Coming into Tuesday,
Great Cars From Good People...
t here was n’t re a l ly a ny doubt,” said Asch. “We had a very nice practice on Monday, the boys had a lot of fun. All Scott had to do was win; he was playing a guy Lex had beaten 0 and 0 earlier. It was nice, we were all very relaxed; it was a coronation really. We were there to have a good time. Scott played fast, his match was over in about 20 minutes. Lex won 0 and 0 in his but it took about an hour.” With a singles lineup that features sophomore Anupreeth Coramutla at No. 1 along with junior Altmeyer and freshman Decker, PDS boasts a strong core of young talent. “We have t hree really good singles players,” said Asch. “Anupreeth is a very talented kid, his best days
are ahead of him, he could get a lot better. Scott just keeps getting better. He keeps coming at you, he is very aggressive. He hits the ball hard. Anupreeth is more of a defensive player. Lex is very crafty, he has slices, he hits drop shots, he has an excellent forehand. They all like each other.” A s ch li ke s t he te a m’s prospects so much that the program is thinking about competing in Prep A next season. “We are so good at second and third singles, we are thinking about moving up to Prep A next year,” said Asch. “Doubles is going to be a challenge for us. If you want to win tournaments you have to get a few wins at doubles. We have talented players but the question is at

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF SERVICE, 1915-2015
Noah Lilienthal was nervous as he took the court for the Princeton High boys’ tennis team at first singles in the Group 3 state semifinals against undefeated Tenafly last Wednesday at Mercer County Park. “I started a little bit slow,” said freshman star Lilienthal. “I was a little tight, these are pretty big matches, being in the state semifinals.” Showing his talent and composure, the precocious Lilienthal found his rhythm and rolled to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Scott Einsidler. “I started getting into my groove and just focused on improving after every shot,” said Lilienthal, who won the first singles title at the Mercer County Tournament earlier this season. “It was probably my transition balls, getting up to net
and putting balls away. I did that better than I usually do and my return of serve was also working pretty well.” Lilienthal’s win helped PHS pull out a 3-2 victory and earn a trip to the finals. The freshman was thrilled to see PHS make it up to the top level of Group 3. “I am really happy that we are in this position,” said Lilienthal “We have worked really hard to get to this spot, we all do it as a team. We all contribute. It shows that we have really good character and I was happy we could do it for Princeton.” T h e t e a m’s v e t e r a n s showed their character earlier in the season as they welcomed Lilienthal to the fold without jealousy or rancor. “It was really great, before the first ball had even

been hit before the season, everyone was really looking forward to having me on the team, especially Rishab (Tanga) and Tyler (Hack),” said Lilienthal. “It was not easy for them to give up their positions. They are my biggest supporters, they have really helped me and they have stepped it up.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert was proud of the way her team stepped up against Tenafly as the second doubles team of Eric Lin and Kevin Yang prevailed in a third set tiebreaker and senior Tyler Hack posted a hard-earned 6-4, 6-4 victory at third singles to give the Little Tigers the three points needed to advance. “We didn’t really know much about their team but I just told everyone to go out and do the best they could,” said Hibbert. “Both doubles teams had really close matches. Second doubles did a great job of getting through that tiebreaker and not letting the second set affect them and coming back to win a clutch point for us. Tyler did a great job. He has been fighting his allergies and was not feeling well all week. He knew that we needed him and he worked hard. He was able to close out a great game at 5-4 to clinch the match for us. Noah is Noah, he played a fantastic match.” Later in the day, the Little Tigers were unable come up with another great match as they fell 5-0 to perennial power Millburn in the Group 3 final. While Hibbert would have liked to have seen her squad give Millburn a better fight, making the state finals was a major accomplishment. “We haven’t been able to get out of our sectional for the last several years, I think ’08 was the last team,” said Hibbert. “It was nice to not only get out of the area but also to be able to make it to the final. Millburn is a tough team, they have won the Tournament of Champions over and over again. They just outplayed us but we worked hard to get there.” Throughout the spring, the Little Tigers put in some good work as the team posted a final record of 17-3. “Overall, we had a very strong season, especially considering that we had four new players in the lineup,” said Hibbert. The future looks bright as the team is only graduating Hack and second singles player Rishab Tanga. “Obviously losing Rishab and Tyler will be tough for the team to replace,” said Hibbert. “Having Noah back will be huge, he is an incredibly strong addition to our lineup.” Lilienthal, for his part, believes that PHS has developed the mindset to keep getting better. “I think it is that we all try to improve,” said Lilienthal. “It is not just about getting the win, it is the gradual everyday grind and making progress.” —Bill Alden

With Senior Goalie Shane Battling Hard to the End, PHS Girls’ Lax Falls to HoVal in Sectional Semis
Bringing an 8-12 record and a t wo - game losing streak into the state tournament, the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team seemed destined for an early exit. But PHS senior goalie Mira Shane and her classmates were determined to help the ninth-seeded Little Tigers make a run in the North Group 3 sectional. “We went into the states looking to stay alive,” said Shane. “We had four seniors with three of of us playing and one hurt and we said this is it. This team is super important to all of us.” Playing at eighth-seeded Roxbury in the first round, PHS stayed alive with a 13-9 win, bouncing back from a 5-4 defeat to Notre Dame in the Mercer County Tourna-
ment semifinals and a 10-8 loss to Hopewell Valley in the regular season finale. “The Roxbury game gave us some momentum,” said Shane. “Com ing out of MCTS, we were angry. In the Hopewell game, we were beaten down in the first half and came back in the second half.” The win over Roxbur y earned PHS a shot at topseeded Northern Highlands in the sectional quarters and the Little Tigers thrived in the underdog role, jumping out to a 4-1 halftime lead on the way to a 7-4 upset win. “Honestly for that game, we just wanted to show that we can play at their level,” said Shane, who will be playing lacrosse at the next

level for the University of Michigan. “We only knew about one team that they played. We scouted them and we did some research on some of their players but it was about us. We were trying to match and surpass their intensity. It is all about energy. We had energy in that game, especially on defense. It was good to close it out in the second half. Coach (David Schlesinger) was talking about shocking the world.” In Shane’s view, the stunner spoke volumes about the team’s character. “I think it just showed the amount of heart we had,” added Shane. “We had faced a lot of adversity this year. It was an up and down season. We had a tougher schedule and we were feeling out a new coach, who is an awesome guy and an intense coach.” Playing at fifth-seeded HoVa l i n t h e s e c t iona l semifinals last Thursday, the Little Tigers produced another intense effort but fell just short in losing 9-8 on overtime to end the season. “We definitely wanted to start from the second half of the previous game,” said Shane, who recorded 14 saves against the Bulldogs in a losing cause. “We watched the film of the first game the day before to see what we did wrong in the first half. The second half was much better but it wasn’t our best. We wanted to bring our best. It was awesome to see the transition of the team from one week before; certain players really stepped up. I would have liked us to
have a few more offensive possessions and not the turnovers that we had. We played a lot of defense, I think that got us in the end. They also did some good things on offense.” While PHS finished with a 10-13 record, Shane believes that the squad did a lot of good things over the course of the spring. “We lost a lot of seniors from the year before, we needed to shape a new team, not building off what we had done,” said Shane. “This season was about establishing a new foundation. I kept saying we need to grow up. It was about grow ing up and hav ing the best head and heart to pay lacrosse and be better people to see what a loving team can do. I was really proud of what we accomplished. We may not have the killer record to reflect that but we grew as a team.” The seniors experienced a lot of growth as they went through a roller-coaster ride over the last four years. “The senior class feels indebted to the awesome lacrosse program, athletic department, and the school in general,” said Shane, whose fellow seniors included Oona Ryle, Campbell McDonald, and Robin Reigle. “We had a great learning experience and we showed that we can fight through adversity. It was beautiful to see the different teams come through.” Shane gave PHS some beautiful play in goal over t he years as she made around 700 saves in her career, starting from day one as a freshman. “I would say as a freshmen, it was more about athleticism and less about technique,” said Shane.
“As a junior, I started to understand it was about fundamentals and staying calm. This year I worked on patience, it was like a meditation, getting that extra second to not take a step. I think as a goalie you have power too. The shooter knows where they want to shoot but I have gotten better at baiting shooters and getting in position before the shot comes.” Looking forward to starting her career at Michigan, Shane is pumped up to take her shot at college lacrosse.
“I am getting a workout packet on June 1; I am totally excited,” said Shane. “It will be conditioning and lifting. I have been mentally and physically preparing for this a long time. Even when I was in basketball last winter, I was doing additional lifting and conditioning. School starts around September 10 but I am going out in late August to be with the team. I think it is going to be a good second team for me after my great PHS team.” —Bill Alden

BIG STRIDES: Princeton High star runner Paige Metzheiser heads to the finish line in a cross country race earlier in her career. Last weekend at Central Jersey Group 3 sectional meet, senior Metzheiser took third in the 800 (2:20.57) and fourth in the 1,600 (5:09.22) to help PHS place fourth in the team standings.

Featuring strength from the sprints to the distance events, the Princeton High girls’ track team used that balance to excel last weekend at the Central Jersey Group 3 sectional meet. “I think a big par t of our success this season has been on the track and that theme continued this weekend,” said PHS head coach Jim Smirk, whose team placed fourth of 18 teams in the sectional held at Nor t her n Burling ton High and saw a number of athletes earn the top-6 finishes necessary to book them spots in the upcoming state group meet. Junior Maia Hauschild set the pace in the sprints, taking fourth in the 200 (25.97) and second in the 400 ( 58.57) . Freshman Jackie Patterson took sixth in the 400 (1:00.02). “Maia has had moments this season where she has looked brilliant and other times where she looked like she was trying to figure things out,” said Smirk. “She figured things out last weekend. She has also been a mentor for Jackie Patterson who has learned a lot from her.” In the middle distance events, senior Paige Metzheiser continued her superb final campaign, taking
third in the 800 (2:20.57) and fourth in the 1,600 (5:09.22). “Paige is an amazing athlete for us; she has always been a team player,” asserted Smirk. “She said she wanted to take a shot at the mile, she has been watching it and she had a personal record against a quality field. She has been a go-to athlete all season in the 800.” Junior Lou Mialhe stepped up in the 3,200, taking fifth (11:16.83) with senior Mary Sutton coming

in eighth (11:41.16). “Lou has been a miler and we put her in the 2-mile and she didn’t disappoint,” said Smirk of Mialhe, who also took eighth in the 400 hurdles. “She had a personal best of 11:16.” Youth was also served for PHS at the meet as sophomore Noa Levy tied for second in the high jump (5’0) w it h sophomore A ileen Wu taking eighth in the 800 (2:26.88), freshman Chloe Taylor placing 11th in the 3,200 (11:58.16), and sophomore Annefleur
Hartmenshenn helping the 4x800 relay take second (9:43.58). “In the winter, Noa was inconsistent, the focus was fitness,” said Smirk, whose team is next in action when its qualified athletes compete in the Group 3 meet from May 29-30 at South Plainfield. “She was patient and that is hard for a young athlete. It is paying off. Aileen Wu had breakout race in the 800. Annefleur Hartmenshenn did well in the 4x800. We were wondering who was the fourth girl in the 4x800 and she stepped right in there.” —Bill Alden

nce in a while a truly elegant property comes to the market displaying a refined appearance with an unusual history and style. Built in 1928 as a community hall for the residents of the Institute and later the initial home of Miss Mason’s School, this property was transformed into a private residence in 1942.
Today, you enter a vast 54 foot long open living area with a fireplace and 10 foot ceilings that give a loft-like feel to a room that takes your breath away! Custom bookcases, maple hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a renovated eat-in kitchen with French doors, family room with a second fireplace, a side porch with a lattice gate that leads to a stunning blue-stone patio and private grounds with fabulous gardens where the sound of birds, church bells and the dinky whistle add to the charm of living in-town. Located next to the Institute with more than 500 acres of woods and walking paths. (Walk-up attic for expansion possibilities.) 11 Newlin Rd ~ Princeton’s Institute Area. $1,345,000

PRICING STRATEGIES
Experience ✦ Honesty ✦ Integrity 32 Chambers Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (800) 763-1416 ✦ (609) 924-1416
Pricing a home for quick sale while still maximizing your potential profits is, without doubt, the most difficult yet critical aspect of selling a home. It's tempting to think all you need to do is look at what other homes in your neighborhood are selling for, and then price your home accordingly. But every home is different, and even when your home and another seem similar to you, it's what the buyers think that really matters. Buying a home is an emotional decision, and some homes may “speak” that emotional connection better, especially to a specific groups of buyers. And even when your home and another are truly similar, that other home may be overpriced to begin with, so using that figure as a guideline for your home's price is doomed to fail from the start. Pricing a home is where your agent really shines. Working with home sales day in and day out, your agent is keenly aware of each and every factor that goes in to pricing a home right. Instead of starting your sale with a price in mind, ask your agent for input to ensure your home sells quickly and at the best price possible.

The owner of the Hart Voorhees Farmstead has artfully blended the old and the new to create a soulful and extraordinary home. The original bones of the home served as a hay barn dating back to the late 1700’s. The stone and exposed timber framing reach almost thirty feet to the peaked roof of the spacious great room – with light spilling in from all angles. The focal point is a soaring stone fireplace, whose chimney climbs to the ceiling. A three-tiered antler chandelier is perfectly proportioned in this lofty space. Beams on either side were used to create a pair of lofts - perfect for a library, office or lounge. The warm, neutral palette continues into the kitchen, which boasts honey-colored cabinetry and wood-toned granite. The adjacent living room with walls of windows, spacious dining room with fireplace, custom banquette and built-ins, plus a large office offer a seamless, flowing floor-plan, suitable for intimate or grand entertaining.

LAKEFRONT PROPERTY IN PRINCETON is at a premium, especially one with a dock and an amazing design pedigree! We are proud to present the only known residential collaborative design by Robert Venturi and William Short, two architects who combined their skill and their friendship to create a masterpiece of understated elegance and harmony. Built in 1960 for Robert H. Taylor, this home is of modernist design, set back from the street; a perfect example of “less is more”. Built to an extraordinary standard with brick exterior, concrete and steel floor system, and metal clad expanses of glass, it unfolds, petal-like, as you proceed through the house. Privacy is paramount as you enter this residence, with no hint of what lies behind the entry wall. Take a few steps, and dramatic lake views unfold, acting as the backdrop for the elegantly scaled interior spaces. Two private wings flank the public spaces. The living room is over twelve feet high, having floor to ceiling windows overlooking Lake Carnegie. Custom crafted mahogany shelves were built in both the living room and family room/study to hold Mr. Taylor’s extensive collection of books (7000, to be exact!). The living room fireplace has stunning period tile surround, and there is access to the double terrace. These features combine to make this room the sweet spot of the house. It is clear that the warmth and clarity of design generated by the close relationship between the architect’s and their client created one very special residence. Mr. Taylor, himself an interesting story, graduated from Princeton in 1930 with a degree in architecture, and knew of Robert Venturi and Bill Short through his connection with the University. Mr Venturi and Mr Short were classmates in the Architecture department at Princeton, and Mr. Taylor convinced these young architects to design his home on Lake Carnegie, which they did. Virtually every room has a lake view that is hard to beat, and the lot itself slopes ever so slightly, creating easy access and entry to the lake, whether for boating or skating. You may not know that, unless a property already has a dock, one cannot be added! You also may not realize how unusual it is to have a lot that seamlessly merges with the water---no terracing needed here! Offered by it’s second owner, this could be the chance of a lifetime to own such a piece of history! $2,200,000
