Community Members Hear “The Dope On Marijuana Legalization”

Two expert panelists in favor of legalization of marijuana in New Jersey and two opposed presented “The Dope on Marijuana Legalization,” an information and discussion session hosted by the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) on Sunday, April 15 at the Suzanne Patterson Center.

Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, sponsor of a current bill in the State Assembly for legalization; and David Nathan, Princeton psychiatrist, educator and founder and board president of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation, spoke first, presenting their perspectives and cases for legalization of recreational marijuana.

Rory Wells, former Ocean County prosecutor and current advisor to New Jersey Responsible Approaches to Marijuana Policy (NJRAMP), and Diane Litterer, CEO and executive director of The New Jersey Prevention Network (NJPN), followed with reasons why recreational marijuana should not be legalized in New Jersey.

Bills to legalize the recreational use of marijuana have been introduced in the state Assembly, including Gusciora’s latest proposal, and the state Senate, and Governor Murphy continues to support the cause. But opinions are divided in the legislature and in the state at large.

PCDO President Jean Durbin reported that an informal audience poll at Sunday’s gathering revealed 75 percent in favor of legalization, 20 percent opposed, and 5 percent undecided. Nine states so far, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational marijuana.

Emphasizing social justice concerns and the racial disparity in marijuana arrests, Gusciora, an attorney currently running for mayor of the city of Trenton, described his bill. It would legalize possession and personal use of small amounts of marijuana for persons age 21 and over and would create a Division of Marijuana Enforcement and a licensing structure.

“I don’t recommend anyone to take marijuana, but if you do you shouldn’t be subject to criminal laws,” Gusciora said.

Advocating a “common sense, realistic” approach to the problem, he noted that his bill “largely aligns with Governor Murphy.”

Gusciora claimed that marijuana is no Continued on Page 8

PPD Focuses on Community Policing Mission Community policing, including many outreach programs, positive police-citizen interaction, and improved communication through direct contacts and use of technology — along with successful recruitment and training — are the key themes that emerge in the Princeton Police Department’s 2017 Annual Report, and in subsequent reflections offered by PPD Chief Nick Sutter.

In his introduction to the 2017 annual report Sutter emphasized the priority placed on engaging stakeholders and ensuring “that the values and goals of the department represented those of our community and employees.” He noted the “laser-focused department mission” and expressed pride in the “robust community policing culture that we have cultivated within the department.”

Pointing out “monumental change” occurring in Princeton and in law enforcement on a national level, Sutter stated that PPD took notice and learned. “We recognized the need for trust between the police and the community we serve.

We recognized our role as guardians of our community and built on this mindset and ingrained it in the cultural fabric of the department.”

Community Response

The PPD 2017 survey of the community elicited overwhelmingly favorable responses, with 87 percent of responders saying their interactions with the PPD were positive and 95 percent saying they feel safe in Princeton.

The biggest concerns were speeding, parking, and pedestrian safety, but 77 percent agreed the the Princeton police “meet the needs of traffic-related issues in the community.”

“Feedback has increased,” Sutter said.

“I’m happy with the feedback we got, but we have to figure out a way to get more response. We’ve been using social media, but we need more participants. We need to find ways to get more people involved.”

There were 178 surveys submitted, 119 in English and 59 in Spanish.

Discussing traffic complaints and the department’s strategy in working to address them, he highlighted the Continued on Page 8

Political Legacy of Brendan Byrne Is Focus of Memorial Symposium Brendan Byrne’s family wanted an event held in his honor at Princeton University last Friday to be focused on the work he did before, during, and after his two terms in state office.

The “Symposium on the Legacy of Brendan Byrne, New Jersey Governor 1974-1982,” at Alexander Hall, was “not a memorial, but a useful and candid discussion,” said his son Tom Byrne, at the start of the program in which politicians and public servants recalled Byrne’s achievements, personality, and influence. He died at age 93 on January 4.

Former New Jersey Gov. Thomas H. Kean, former U.S. Congressman and Senator Robert Torricelli, former New Jersey Supreme Court Justice James R. Zazzali, and recent Port Authority Chairman John J. Degnan took part in a panel discussion, recalling their relationships with Byrne and his leadership. Kent Manahan, news anchor for New Jersey Network from 1978 to 2011, was moderator.

The audience was filled with people who served with Byrne in state government, as well as local politicians including Continued on Page 4

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE PRINCETON PUBLIC SCHOOLS REFERENDUM We are Princeton residents who believe in public education as a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy and the glue that helps connect our community.

We are very concerned about the overcrowding at John Witherspoon Middle School, Princeton High School, and several of the elementary schools, and the exacerbation of the overcrowding at all Princeton Public Schools, as enrollment of Princeton residents continues to climb over the next decade. This overcrowding has pushed some class sizes to above 30 and limited access to courses and lab facilities, particularly in STEM subjects, hindering the quality of education our public schools can provide. While increased enrollment can bring many benefits, it requires facilities that can meet the greater demand.

We also are very concerned about the lack of modern security features in our public schools and the frequent maintenance problems and high cost of operating our older heating and cooling systems. These are concerns that need to be addressed immediately.

We appreciate the many hours that the Princeton Public Schools staff and the Princeton Board of Education have committed to reviewing options for addressing all of these concerns and developing a facilities expansion plan that is both educationally and financially sound. We recognize that this plan will continue to be refined as the Board and staff search for ways to reduce the cost of the expansion.

We also appreciate how open and participatory the process has been. This has enabled the community to be part of the design and planning that has taken place, the ongoing revisions to those plans, and the final vote that will take place in October 2018.

We support this effort to address the overcrowding, security, and otherwise improve Princeton Public Schools facilities. Many of us have older children who will not benefit directly from the new construction. But we know that our children’s excellent education in the Princeton Public Schools was funded by those who came before us, and that each generation must help fund the public schools that will educate future generations.

Legacy of Brendan Byrne continued from page one

Mayor Liz Lempert and Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker.

Former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey and attorney Barry H. Evenchick offered remarks.

In brief remarks, Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber referred to Byrne, a 1949 graduate of the school, as “a fierce friend … famously known as the man who could not be bought.” Byrne served two terms as governor, enacting the state’s first income tax, legalizing casino gambling, developing the Meadowlands sports complex that bears his name, and preserving the environmentally fragile Pine Barrens through an executive order.

Degnan said Byrne’s interest in that region was

sparked by his reading of author John McPhee’s famous 1968 book on the subject.

“He said, ‘We’re gonna take on the Pine Barrens. And faced with a recalcitrant legislature, he had us draft a proposal,” Degnan recalled.

Degnan, who was attorney general of New Jersey from 1978 to 1981, grew up down the road from Byrne in West Orange, and attended the same church. “He embraced and practiced politics as an art form,” he said of Byrne, also mentioning his “strategic use of humor to reach people and maintain balance.”

Torricelli was a junior in college when he first met Byrne, and volunteered to work for his campaign. The two men had “a very complex relationship,” he recalled.

“We were so different. We had a generation between

us.” Byrne “… knew where every bone was buried, every lever to push,” he said. “He grew up in the process and was not ashamed of it.”

Torricelli became emotional when recalling their final encounter, at an event in support of Gov. Phil Murphy’s campaign last year. In failing health, Byrne called Torricelli over and thanked him for his work. Torricelli said he was grateful “for the career he gave me. You may have been a complex man but you moved the needle on American life,” he concluded.

Zazzali worked under Byrne during Byrne’s 9-year term as Essex County Special Prosecutor. “He quickly became one of the best,” Zazzali said. “He taught us that the goal of a prosecutor is to see that justice is done, and not to obtain a conviction.”

In his program notes, Tom Byrne thanked the speakers and moderator for their participation in the symposium. “Dad respected your opinions, enjoyed the many debates, trusted your judgement and was proud of the people in his circle,” he wrote. “There are so many stories, anecdotes, and famous Brendan Byrne jokes to fondly recall. And there are hopefully lessons for future policymakers.”

University Trustees Name Garden, Arch For Betsey Stockton and Jimmy Johnson Subscription Information: 609.924.5400 ext. 30 or subscriptions@ witherspoonmediagroup.com

urbanagendamagazine.com

The Princeton University trustees have accepted recommendations to name a publicly accessible garden between Firestone Library and Nassau Street for Elizabeth “Betsey” Stockton, and to name the easternmost arch in East Pyne Hall for James Collins “Jimmy” Johnson.

Stockton was a slave in

the Maclean House home of Princeton President Ashbel Green who, upon gaining her freedom, became a missionary and then served the Princeton community as a founder of the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church and as a teacher and founder of the first school in Princeton for children of color.

She is commemorated in a stained-glass window in the church that was presented by her former students.

Johnson was a fugitive slave from Maryland who worked on campus for more than 60 years, first as a janitor and then for many years as a vendor of fruits, candies, and other snacks that he sold from a wheelbarrow. When he died in 1902, alumni and students purchased a headstone for him in Princeton cemetery, and inscribed an epitaph that described him as “the students friend.”

T h e r e com m e n d at ion s were made by the Council of the Princeton University Community (CPUC) Commit tee on Nam ing, a committee of faculty, students, staff and alumni that is chaired by history professor Angela Creager. In seeking to “recognize individuals who would bring a more diverse presence to the campus,” t he t r ustees asked the CPUC in September 2017 to establish such a committee to advise the trustees about h o n o r i f i c n a m i n g fo r spaces on campus that are referred to the committee by the trustees.

Local historian Shirley Satterfield, whose family has lived in Princeton for six generations, talks about Stockton and Johnson in her popular tours of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, longtime home to members of the African-American community. She met with the head of the committee to discuss whom to honor.

“I suggested a few names,” Satterfield told Town Topics Tuesday. “I think it’s wonderful that they are honoring them.

I promoted it and I’m very much in favor of it. I think it should have been done a long time ago, but I’m

very pleased that it’s being done now.”

Last year the Naming Committee recommended naming Morrison Hall and Arthur Lewis Auditorium. A reception to celebrate the dedication of L e w i s Au d itor i u m , named for Nobel laureate and Princeton professor Sir Arthur Lewis (19151991), is scheduled for today, April 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. in Robertson Hall.

The University dedicated Morrison Hall, in honor of Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities, Emer itus, during a ceremony last November.

to Philadelphia and established a school for African American children.

In 1833 she ret ur ned to Princeton, where she helped found and for almost 30 years taught in the sole Princeton public school for African American children. In 1840 she played a leading role in fou nding what is now Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church and led its Sunday school.

An essay prepared in connection with the Pr inceton and Slaver y Project reports that when she died in 1865, “her funeral brought together a considerable crowd of both races” and that then-President John Maclean Jr. conducted the service.

In recommending the garde n b e na m e d for her, the Naming Committee said that “given the many lives she nurtured over the course of her courageous life, we believe it is fitting that she be commemorated in a garden that we hope will be a place of beauty and reflection for both town and gown. We believe it is also fitting that this garden be associated with the library in whose archives so many of the discoveries of the Princeton and Slavery Project were made.”

a garden that is being constructed as a green roof covering a portion of Firestone Library, noting that the garden is in a location readily visible to the town. In referring the East Pyne arch, the trustees recognized its central location, noting that early in students’ time at Princeton, this is the first arch they pass through when they leave the chapel after Opening Exercises, and as they approach graduation, it is the first arch they pass through when they leave the chapel after the Baccalaureate service.

Betsey Stockton Stockton’s early years on the Princeton campus and her extraordinar y impact on the Pr ince ton community and beyond were recog nized in the findings that were made public last fall by the Princeton and Slavery Project, a sweeping endeavor by Princeton scholars and students to explore the ties of early University trustees, presidents, faculty and students to the institution of slavery.

Betsey Stockton was born into slavery around 1798 in Princeton and given by her owner, Robert Stockton, to his daughter when she married the Rev. Ashbel Green, who became president of the college in 1812. Green freed Stockton several years later, and in 1822 she traveled to Hawaii as a missionary, where she established a school for native Hawaiian children.

In 1828 she relocated

runaway slave. Following the trial, a local woman (a great-granddaughter of John Witherspoon and a granddaughter of Samuel Stanhope Smith, both P r i n c e to n p r e s i d e n t s ) paid about $500 for his freedom, and students of the college took up a collection that raised $100 to help him start a business. He opened a used clothing and f ur niture s tore on Wit herspoon Street and obtained the right to sell snacks on campus.

According to an article in the Princeton Alumni Week ly, “For some of the white students who encountered him, Johnson left a lasting impression as a font of humor a n d w i s d o m …. F o r many African Americans in Princeton, Johnson’s persistence and entrepreneurship served as a model for the development of businesses and social activities that provided them some measure of dignity and economic success….”

In recommending the arch be named for Johnson, the Naming Committee said “we believe his story should be brought to the attention of future generations of Princetonians by associating his name with an arch that looks out on the places where he befriended students and sold his wares, but also one that looks out at the statue of John Witherspoon, one of the first nine Princeton presidents, all of whom were slaveholders at one point in their lives. Johnson’s experiences with Princeton students, both being turned in to authorities as a fugitive slave and being befriended and defended, reflect the complex history on our campus with African Americans and with the institution of slavery.”

A photo exhibit about Johnson, sponsored by the Campus Iconography Committee, will be on display beginning the week of April 30 in the Fr i s t C a mpu s C e nte r, with an opening ceremony scheduled for May 1.

The exhibit will be free and open to the public.

Question of the Week: “Name a woman you most admire and why?”

(Asked at the Stuart’s Lead Like a Girl event) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

Karen: “My daughter Megan, of course. She is just an amazing, inspiring, and motivating young lady.”

Megan: “Mostly my mom and my grandma. When I was diagnosed with dyslexia, they were so supportive and always working to find me the best setting for learning and the best help.”

—Karen and Megan Kane, Montgomery

“I really look up to Oprah Winfrey. I think that she overcame a lot of obstacles, not only in her childhood but also throughout her career. There were many things going against her, but she stayed true to herself and just broke boundaries and has done some amazing things for humanity and just continues to always give back and she continues to inspire others to do the right thing.”

—Barbara Majeski, Princeton

“I would say my sister Mia. She’s my best friend and she teaches me things and loves me and I love her so much, too.”

—Morgan Davison, with mother, Somerset

Juliet: “I admire Helen Keller because no matter what came in her path, in spite of not being able to hear or see, she always learned and was a brilliant and inspiring person.”

Reshem: “Katherine Johnson, because she was one of the first African American scientists. She really led “like a girl” and outshined all of the men.”

Sienna: “Ruby Bridges, as young as she was, she was very brave.”

—Juliet Walton, Lawrenceville, Reshem Trainor, West Windsor, Sienna Dowling, Princeton

Carolina: “Aly Raisman. I read a book about her. She was very inspiring and some people thought she wouldn’t make the Olympics, but she ended up going twice.”

Alexandra: “Michelle Obama, because she inspires a lot of people. She really shows woman that you can do anything you want and make a difference in the world.”

Maya:“My mom because of all she does for my family.”

—Carolina Lopez-Watt, West Windsor, Alexandra Durish, Lawrenceville, and Maya Dev, Princeton

Back in 2011, the clergy and congregation of Trinity Church on Mercer Street were looking to address the problem of hunger in the community. But they wanted to approach the issue in an innovative way, different from programs that already existed in town.

Af ter a considerable amount of research involving visits to places like Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi’s Soul Kitchen in Red Bank and an initiative in St. Louis, they settled on a model that, eight years later, has become a local tradition. One Table Cafe invites patrons to pay what they can for three-course meals catered by local restaurants, served by volunteers on

china plates at tables covered with white linen tablecloths and floral centerpieces.

“The idea is for people to experience what we call upscale dining,” said Ruth Scott, the coordinator of programming. “Some of the folks may not regularly go to restaurants in town. This gives them a way to have that experience.”

All are welcome at these monthly gatherings at Trinity’s Pierce-Bishop Hall, and they always include talks, music, and other forms of entertainment. Payments benefit four hunger partners: Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK), Mercer Street Friends, Bread for the World, and Episcopal Relief & Devel-

opment Hunger Fund. More than 100 guests show up at most dinners.

“We all know that a meal brings people together. But we wanted to bring people together whose paths would not otherwise cross,” said Scott.

“We want to really build community, so they can take this experience outside.”

A standing-room-only crowd showed up for the first event in 2011, which featured author and activist Cornel West as speaker. This Friday, April 20, TASK executive director Joyce Campbell will make a presentation. Olives, the Witherspoon Street eatery, is providing the meal of chicken cacciatore, rotini pasta, salad and vegetables, and cake.

Numerous local restaurants in town have participated in the program. “We have

reached out to everybody — the Momos [owners of Mediterra and other restaurants], Jack Morrison [owner of Witherspoon Grill and other eateries], the Fenwick Group [Cargot, Agricola, Two Sevens], and more — and they have all helped out,” Scott said. “We’ve had Bahama Breeze in MarketFair mall, Lucy’s Kitchen, Chambers Walk Cafe, and so many others. We’re always out there looking.”

Tables fill up quickly and reservations are necessary.

But there are often no-shows which allow those who haven’t booked to get in. While conversation is encouraged and efforts at intermingling are made, “sometimes folks will come with family or friends and they want the opportunity to have dinner together, so we try to honor that,” said Scott.

Seating begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by a short program. “The idea of the programming is to provide a message that enlightens,” said Scott. “That’s an important part of what we do.

We’ve had scholars, musicians, actors, community leaders — people telling their stories.”

Scott said that most of the people who attend can afford to make donations.

“But we continue to work to have a larger percentage of the guests be individuals who could not have the experience otherwise,” she said. “It’s an ongoing objective to further diversify in terms of ethnicity, religion, and all those other markers. There is always room for growth. And that may mean an opportunity to diversify the menu more, too.”

Speakers and performers are booked eight or nine months in advance. On May 18, Susan Adams of Womanspace will be featured. The June 15 program will include Zoe Brookes and the Trenton Circus Squad. The July 20 dinner will be a barbecue on the lawn, with entertainment by the Ocean Country Band.

The volunteer servers are members of Trinity Church, Girl Scouts, the “Men Who Cook” from Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, students from Princeton University, and others.

“It’s all about providing a nutritious meal, building community, and giving people a chance to have a special experience,” said Scott.

“Everyone is welcome here.”

worse than alcohol, but he stated that the prosecution of cannabis offenses takes an extreme toll on society and policing.

Nathan argued, “For public health and social justice reasons marijuana needs to be legalized in the United States,” but he went on to emphasize the importance of “above all effective regulation. You can’t have regulation without legalization.”

He added, “The punishment for marijuana has always been far worse than the harm done by the drug itself. That is inexcusable in a free society like ours.”

Nathan cited 22,000 to 24,000 arrests per year for marijuana possession in New Jersey, with African Americans arrested at a rate of 3:1 over whites. “That is a horrendous, racist disparity in enforcement of the law,” Nathan said.

Wells, however, claimed that “with objective facts, the people will reject legalization of recreational marijuana.” He went on to say that legalization would bring offsetting costs in law enforcement, health, drunk driving, youth usage, and treatment for addiction.

“I believe these offsetting costs are much higher than the revenues we will take in,” he added.

Arguing that legalization would increase drug use, Wells, an African American, argued, “I can appreciate the disproportionate arrest problem, but I do not believe legalization is the answer.”

Wells stated that the data

from Colorado, Washington and other states where marijuana has been legalized has not been positive and that New Jersey needs to wait for “five, six or seven years before doing this.”

Litterer, who has been in the field of public health for over 30 years and manages several statewide initiatives focused on prevention and treatment, agreed with Wells on the value of waiting to study the long-term consequences in states where marijuana has been legalized.

She war ned about the health risks of potent forms of marijuana. “My concern is any law that is going to provide more availability to a substance that negatively impacts our youth,” she said, and she questioned why any law should make legal at age 21 a substance that affects the brain as it continues to develop to age 25.

Lit terer also war ned against the creation of “a profit-driven industry that is selling a product that affects adults’ behavior and brains and children’s brain development.” Comparing a possible future marijuana industry to the tobacco and alcohol industries, she stated, “They will target youth.”

T he panelists were in agreement in suppor t of m e d ic a l mar ijua na w it h careful regulation. They were also in agreement that marijuana should not be accessible to minors, at least to age 21. Beyond that, the debate over legalization and regulation continues in Princeton, Trenton, and throughout the country.

importance of communication and personal engagement. “Enforcement doesn’t necessarily mean summonses. We’ve been working hard.

We want people to see this as fair,” he said.

Sutter pointed out that there were about 6,000 traffic summonses last year but that approximately 71 percent of motor vehicle stops resulted only in warnings. “Summonses are not the number one tool,” he said. “Conversation and education are important.

We’re ma k i ng cont ac t s.

We’re out there listening to complaints. We’re not being heavy-handed and we don’t want to be viewed that way.”

Panera Shooting In response to a question about the March 20 shooting incident at the Panera Bread Restaurant on Nassau Street, Sutter discussed the conduct of PPD officers who were involved in a standoff of almost five hours with a man who was eventually killed by state troopers.

Though the incident is still under investigation by the state attorney general’s of fice, Sut ter expressed confidence that in the final report “you’ll find out that our officers showed absolute professionalism and a huge amount of compassion.”

“We communicated faceto-face with him for many hours,” he said. “Our officers exceeded all expectations. They put themselves out there, and they acted with compassion. We were in there for the entire response, 10:30 to 3. I wish it could have ended better.”

The Area’s Premier 55+

Sutter emphasized the value and importance of training and continuous re-training. “That is the answer to a lot of issues regarding law enforcement.” He mentioned a broad array of training and specialized instruction in many different disciplines.

There’s a mandated amount of training, but we’re getting much more than that. I’m confident that this training will pay off.”

Some training, he noted, is initiated in response to threats that appear throughout the country. “We prepare for them,” he said. “We have to prepare for that. In our business you don’t prepare for ‘if;’ you prepare for ‘when.’ We’re never complacent.”

In addressing questions of school safety, Sutter did not mention specifics, but emphasized that he and Princeton Public Schools Superintendent Steve Cochrane are in communication regularly and frequently. “We take the issue of school safety extremely seriously. We are taking all precautions to prevent the unthinkable.”

Sutter repeatedly praised the members of his department and commented on recent successful recruitment.

“We have been able to recruit the best qualified, diverse candidates you’ll find anywhere,” he said, pointing out increased diversity reflected in the demographics section of the annual report.

In his commentary in the annual report Sutter concluded, “Policing in the 21st century demands that we increase positive policecitizen interactions to build trust in the department and illustrate the legitimacy of

our mission. Our officers embraced this philosophy ent husiast ically t hrough contacts within the community. Simultaneously we engaged our communit y t hrough technolog y and increased our social media pre s e n ce exp on e nt ia l ly.

The results speak for themselves.”

Cory Booker Is Speaker At University’s Class Day

On June 4, U.S. Senator Cory Booker will deliver the Class Day address at Princeton University. Held the day before Commencement on historic Cannon Green, Class Day is being organized by members of the graduating class and is one of Princeton’s oldest traditions.

The ceremony also includes remarks by class members, the recognition of seniors for their accomplishments, and the induction of honorary class members. “Sen. Cory Booker leads a life of incredible public service,” said Class Day Co-chair Miranda Rosen. “A strong advocate for bipartisanship, Sen. Booker consistently serves his constituents and the nation with integrity, honesty, and strength. Sen. Booker greatly embodies Princeton’s motto, ‘in the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity,’ and I am thrilled he is our Class Day speaker.”

“Sen. Booker’s journey is a reminder to all of us to engage the tough issues, to ask the difficult questions, and to remain curious about how our actions impact the world around us,” said Class Day Co-chair Arianna Brown.

“His refusal to accept the criminal justice system as it is and his willingness to

engage in reform demonstrates his commitment to those in need.”

Booker was born in Washington, D.C., grew up in Harrington Park, New Jersey, and attended Northern Valley Regional High School.

He graduated from Stanford University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and earned a Master of Arts in sociology the following year. Booker was a tight end on Stanford’s football team, making the Pac10 All-Academic team, and served as the class president his senior year. A Rhodes Scholar, Booker studied United States history at the University of Oxford. He received a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1997.

Booker was elected mayor of Newark, in 2006 after serving on the City Council and working with various nonprofit organizations within the city. In 2013, he announced his candidacy for and was elected as a U.S. Sen. for New Jersey. In that role, he sits on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Committee on the Judiciary, Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, and Committee on Environment and Public Works.

The Class Day ceremony will begin with a class procession at 10 a.m., with the ceremony starting at 10:30 a.m., unless severe weather necessitates a move into the University Chapel. It is a ticketed event for seniors and their four invited guests, with unticketed simulcast locations available at various sites around campus. The program will also be available for viewing via the University homepage.

The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) celebrated Freeman Dyson, the longestserving professor in the Institute’s history, and his new book, Maker of Patterns: An Autobiography Through Letters, with a public reading and interview on Friday, April 13 in Wolfensohn Hall on the IAS campus.

D y s o n , 94, w h o f i r s t came to IAS from England in 1948 as one of an exceptional group of young physicists and mathematicians invited to the Institute by then Director J. Robert Oppenheimer, has worked with seven of the nine IAS directors over the past 70 years.

Dyson is renow ned as a founding father of quantum electrodynamics and one of the world’s most original thinkers.

The author of numerous articles and books on physics, mathematics, and an array of human issues from ar ms control and space travel to climate studies and even poetry and extraterrestrial life, Dyson was introduced by IAS Director Robbert Dijkgraaf as “a wise observer of the human

scene” and also “a life-long contrarian.”

At the gathering attended by a capacity crowd of about 200, Dyson read for about 20 minutes from his new book, which is a collection of his letters from what he described as the first half of his adult life, 1941 to 1978. A conversation between Dijkgraaf and Dyson and a reception followed the reading.

In his early years at IAS Dyson, who had grown up in England and graduated from Cambridge University, wrote a letter every week to his parents in England, describing his life in America.

He had the foresight to urge his mother to keep the letters, which she did.

“I started writing letters as a teenager,” Dyson said.

“There were a lot more letters that didn’t get into the book.” He emphasized the value of letters, as opposed to the unreliability of memory, in recalling the truth of what happened. Politicians, and scientists too, he noted “write what they remember.

It’s very different from the truth. The memories mold

themselves and you make yourself look good. The real truth is in the letter that you wrote a few days after the event.”

In his preface to Maker of Patterns, Dyson, recalling a conversation in 1968 with Jim Watson, author of The Double Helix, modestly noted, “I do not have any great discovery like the double helix to describe.

The letters record the daily life of an ordinary scientist doing ordinary work. I find them interesting because I had the good fortune to live through extraordinary histor ical times w ith an extraordinary collection of friends. Letters are valuable witnesses to history because they are written without hindsight. They describe events as they appeared to the participants at the time.

Later memories of the same events may be seriously distorted by hindsight.”

Dyson’s readings and subsequent comments — highspirited and humorous, with a generous dose of characteristic subversiveness — were replete with references to that “extraordinary collection of friends” and colleagues, which, in addition to Oppenheimer, included Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking, and other giants of 20th-century physics.

Dyson read excerpts from his book concerning his first impressions of Princeton and the Institute in 1948; his competitive relationship with Oppenheimer — “who would have dreamed that I should be coming to Princeton with the thought not of learning but of teaching Oppenheimer about physics? I had better be careful;” and his encounters with Feynman at Cornell — “Feynman and I really understand each other. I know that he is the one person in the world who has nothing to learn from what I have written, and he doesn’t mind telling me so. That afternoon Feynman produced more brilliant ideas per square minute than I have ever seen anywhere before or since.”

In the conversation with Dijkgraaf, Dyson commented on a variety of topics:

IAS Celebrates Freeman Dyson’s New Book; Longest-Standing Institute Member Presides

PATTERNS IN SCIENCE AND LIFE: Freeman Dyson (on left), renowned as mathematician, physicist, and original thinker on multiple topics, talked with Institute for Advanced Study Director Robbert Dijkgraaf last Friday, April 13 at a celebration of Dyson’s new book, “Maker of Patterns: An Autobiography Through Letters.”

(Photo by Donald Gilpin) From children — “I’m interested in other people’s children. It’s a wonderful thing to see them grow, see them fighting their parents, especially if it’s not yourself;” To his past prediction about space travel: “That was conspicuously wrong.

T h a t ’s t h e g r e a t t h i n g

about predictions. Nature has much more imagination than we have.”

To arms control — “My conclusion is that the way to get ahead with arms control is unilateral. Do what you think is sensible and wait for the other side to respond.

Don’t waste time with negotiation.”

To young scholars coming to IAS — “Don’t expect you’re going to solve the problems of the universe while you’re here. Do that when you get home. When you’re here, learn and make contacts. You don’t really have time to do any thinking while you’re here.”

An Open Letter to Mayor and Council On Affordable Housing: Where, When, by Whom?

To the Editor: Before all else, it’s important to understand that members of the Mayor’s own Task Force on Affordable Housing have openly praised the cooperative attitude of neighbors, our responsiveness to dialog, and our thoughtful approach to housing issues. Similarly at BOE meetings on school expansion, neighbors regularly present courteous, sensible, moderate criticisms and questions. Clearly, given the opportunity before decisions are pronounced, Princeton neighborhood residents seek to help, not obstruct, when the town has a problem.

Therefore, now that the town has the judge’s numbers to work with, it is time for the process of developing affordable housing here to become open and public, i.e., finally transparent. Why work behind closed doors, when there is so much to offer out here?

On affordable housing, two issues concern us: the number of units and where they are built.

We clearly need more low-income housing. We are also losing middle-income housing. Since there are few municipal properties available to build on, they must be used efficiently, but without crowding. However, expensive apartments – Palmer Square, Copperwood, AvalonBay -- do not fix the problem. And the bigger the development, the more municipal, school, sewage, police, and traffic problems they bring. Mayor and Council need sensible, low-cost solutions that will work in Princeton. Why not ask those of us

who live here? How can our representatives represent us if they don’t know what — and how — we think???

When two or more groups work together to resolve a mutual problem, it’s called visioning. All sides look at the issues, and at each other’s concerns, and at possible solutions. Our authority is purely consultative: we don’t implement ideas; that’s the job of elected officials. But we can provide background facts so that Mayor and Council have an informed basis on which to decide zoning, regulations, and resolutions. The Butler Tract neighbors resolved their concerns with the University by meeting with them and talking. Will Mayor and Council accept input from neighbors?

It’s time for collective visioning.

Former Member of School Board Would Like “Good Will Gesture” From Cranbury Community

To the Editor: A recent letter from Jian Chen regarding the costs of serving the Cranbury students in the Princeton Schools is worth further comment.

As a former member of the Princeton School Board, I learned that sending district (Cranbury) costs are covered by state law and are intended to reimburse the receiving district (Princeton) for all per-cost student expenses. In fact, we receive more per-student from Cranbury than we expend within the district on a routine basis.

However, what is not covered in these agreements, are the capital expense budgetary needs for school districts such as ours, which come under stress when projected higher enrollment might require issuance of a bond or other forms of budget increase to cover the costs of new facilities. This is apparently the current situation.

Despite limitations in current state law, a real budget requires consideration of both running expenses and capital expenditure needs.

While I am not certain, I would bet that current state law forbids sending/receiving districts to even negotiate a capital budget agreement.

So what can we do? I would like to see the Princeton schools actively engage the Cranbury community to see if some sort of goodwill gesture is possible that would encourage them to contribute to our capital budgetary needs.

A precedent can be found in the efforts of the Princeton government to obtain similar goodwill agreements with tax-free, non-profit institutions (e.g., Princeton University, Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Princeton Theological Seminary) to contribute to the municipal government budget.

Ultimately, any negotiation of this sort requires awareness of what real leverage we bring to the table. At this point we have the power of persuasion, but also an implied threat of terminating the sending/receiving relationship entirely.

When I sat on the Princeton School Board, we learned of the positive contributions of the Cranbury students to our school system, and I hope that persuasion on the merits of the issue will carry the day. Failing that, we have to be ready to act on our own behalf and consider options for the budget that seriously consider termination of the relationship.

I hope the School Board will represent to Cranbury that there are many people in Princeton who want to see some gesture to address a disproportionate cost to us as a receiving district. The fact that state law does not seem to recognize those impacts should not stop us from pursuing this matter as soon as possible.

Expressing Concern About the Board of Ed’s Handling of the Cranbury Agreement Renewal

To the Editor: As a Princeton taxpayer, I have observed the handling of this Cranbury Agreement renewal for quite some time now. Besides communicating to the Board of Education directly in one of the recent meetings, I have talked to other fellow taxpayers, many of whom also repeatedly express their concerns and questions directly or indirectly to Board.

Since there are so many unaddressed issues and with the Board’s fairly clear indication of their intention to renew the agreement regardless of different opinions expressed, I would like to publicly express my disagreement on the way this issue has been handled by the Board and PPS. Due to the fact that the Board may take a vote on this issue in very near future, I would like to request this to be published as soon as possible. A copy has been sent to Board members separately.

Niedergang’s Experience with Environmental Issues Will Make Her an Excellent Member of Princeton Council

To the Editor: It will be Earth Day on April 22, an excellent time for me to talk about the environmental qualifications of Eve Niedergang, who is running for Princeton Council in the June 5 primary election. I myself am a member of the Princeton Environmental Commission, and serve as the municipal policy specialist at the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, the first environmental organization of Central New Jersey that protects clean water and the environment through a combination of conservation, advocacy, science and education.

I have worked closely with Eve at the Watershed, so I have seen her in operation. Eve has a key position at the Watershed — coordinator of volunteers. Eve has done remarkable things in this position. She grew the volunteer program from 60 volunteers when she started the job to over 250 volunteers now — a great achievement. The Watershed is a nonprofit organization with a lean staff and various programs that heavily rely on volunteers. Eve’s ability to augment the number of volunteers from 60 to 250 continues to enhance our ability to conquer many environmental challenges.

Although high turnover of volunteer staff may create difficulties for organizations, Eve’s ability in attracting, training, and retaining so many volunteers reveals a lot about her as a person. She is a leader who works well with people, motivates them, and makes them want to stay. In addition to her fine work with the volunteers, Eve is well respected by her colleagues and serves as a valued member of the Watershed staff.

Eve is a strong advocate for the environment. She cares deeply about Princeton’s sustainability and reducing Princeton’s carbon footprint. She has been a proactive leader in supporting measures to make our community more sustainable. For example, she testified before Princeton Council on the importance of Princeton taking leadership on controlling storm water runoff. Princeton is one of the first municipalities in our area to have enacted these important environmental regulations. Additionally, Eve takes her own personal commitment to the environment seriously; she drives a hybrid car, is part of the municipal composting program, and made renovations to her home to conserve energy after having a home energy audit.

Eve’s values and experience with environmental issues will make her an excellent member of Princeton Council.

Please vote for Eve on June 5.

Novelist Min Jin Lee Reading at Labyrinth

The joint Labyrinth and Princeton Public Librar y event fe at u re s Nat iona l Book Award Finalist Min Jin Lee, who will be reading from and talking about her new novel, a saga about four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family’s fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan, exiled from a home they never knew.

According to Seira Wilson of The Amazon Book Review, Pachinko, “the exceptional stor y of one family” is “the story of many of the world’s people. They ask only for the chance to belong somewhere — and to be judged by their hearts and actions rather than by ideas of blood traits and bad seeds.”

Min Jin Lee’s debut novel, Free Food for Millionaires, was one of the “Top 10 Novels of t he Year” for The Times ( London), NPR’s Fresh Air, and USA Today. Her essays and literary criticism have been anthologized widely.

Tracy K. Smith Appearing At Library of Congress

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the re-appointment of Tracy K. Smith as the Library’s 22nd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2018-2019. In her second term, Smith will continue the outreach efforts begun in her first term to engage rural communities and small towns across America with poetry. She will report on her outreach activities and introduce expanded plans for her second term on April 19 at the Library of Congress at an event entitled “Staying Human: Poetry in the Age of Technology.”

In the Coolidge Auditorium, Smith will read poems and participate in a discussion with Ron Charles, editor of the Washington Post’s Book World and host of the Library of Congress’ “Life of a Poet” series. In her second term, she will unveil American Journal: Fifty Poems for Our Time, a new anthology of poems she selected that offer 50 different outlooks on America, including stories of loss, experiences of immigrants, outcries of injustice, and celebrations of America’s diversity.

Smith is a Pulitzer Prizewinning poet, professor of Creative Writing, the Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University, and director of the University’s Program in Creative Writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts.

AKIN CARE SENIOR SERVICES What Makes a Successful Caregiver?

If you are embarking on the journey of caring for a parent or spouse, or are looking for a professional caregiver (Certified Home Health Aide) what traits does one need, or need to look for in another, to be a successful caregiver?

After caring for my parents for more than 15 years then creating and running a Home Care agency, these are the lessons I’ve learned along the way and what I look for when hiring a professional.

• Reliability: No matter how compassionate or skilled you are, if you are not there when you say you will be — not only is it not very helpful, it can be dangerous. Nutrition, medication, or not being able to keep up with daily chores are activities able-bodied people take for granted, but many elders rely on others to perform to remain safe.

• Empathy: The ability to feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference. Personal understanding and connection are vital when someone is feeling vulnerable or confused.

• Skilled Communicator: Communication is not only being able to make oneself understood, but to also be an “active listener” so we can understand. Active listening is being fully present to the person who is speaking. So often we are distracted or thinking about our response and not giving our full attention to the speaker.

• Strong Constitution:

Caregivers often deal with personal hygiene and other intimate routines. A good caregiver does not shy away from delicate situations and works to help those they care for retain a sense of dignity.

5. It’s All About Relationship: With an elder, especially one with a chronic illness or some form of dementia, it’s more than treating them as we would like to be treated ourselves. It is, above all, about the elder and where they are at that moment.

This is how I, or you, or we, can provide the very best care in a calm environment and in a trust filled relationship.

RECORD REVIEW

Of a Cat at the Window and Cecil Taylor’s World of Sound The sound is already in us and that sound is based on the heartbeat.

—Cecil Taylor (1929-2018) six-month-old male tuxedo cat is gazing out the window, mesmerized by a frenzy of birdsong, like a dawn chorus at dusk. He’s poised, tensed, all at once frustrated, excited, delighted by the sounds he can’t see. Since the birds are nesting in the hedge outside, the hedge seems to be singing, and so attentive is the cat in his search for the source of the song, it’s as if he’s finally, actually seeing it.

He’s on his hind legs now, primed to pounce, except he’s a house cat, he’s never been in the wild, he’s hunting the sound not the birds, it’s all new to him, and the quick, shrill piping little cries he’s emitting are more like mimicry than mewing. He’s calling to the invisible birds and they’re calling back.

Fifteen years later, the pianistic fervor of the late Cecil Taylor’s “Spring of Two BlueJ’s” reminds me of the cat at the window, not so much because of the title — anyway, the birds nesting in the hedge were not bluejays — but because of the man whose playing, in the words of his longtime advocate Gary Giddins, “exonerates my mind for wandering — because anywhere it wanders is sanctified by the music that takes it there.”

In Person One night in 1961 at the Five Spot, Cecil Taylor’s all over the piano, beating on it, pounding up a storm, and I’m standing so near the epicenter of the disturbance, I can feel the vibrations coming up through the floor. I don’t know what’s going on. I have no way into this music, no way to either enjoy it or dismiss it like the people smirking as they flee the premises. I have no choice. It’s all new to me. It’s happening and I’m enduring it, warily, uneasily, at once attracted and repelled. The whole time, I’m looking down: the pianist could be building and toppling his towers of sound on a subway platform or at the bottom of an elevator shaft.

Walking west on Eighth Street I’m experiencing aurally what happened visually when I came out of Antonioni’s Red Desert into an alarmingly lucid world, as if the film had weaponized my sense of sight. Now it’s happening with sound: I’m hearing everything too clearly, my own breathing, the beating of my heart, my ears awash with the echo of a thousand crashing cymbals, a chaos of voices from a bar, a woman’s

A

laughter, water dripping from an airconditioner — it seems Cecil Taylor has opened the door to a less lethal version of “the roar that lies on the other side of silence” in George Eliot’s Middlemarch.

Driving Under the Influence Three times a week for three years now I’ve been driving the same route from Princeton to Kingston, making the same left turn on to Snowden from All Saints Road. I’ve made that turn with Beethoven’s Hammerklavier on the stereo, with “I am the Walrus,” with Mozart and Mahler. No matter what’s playing, the music’s in the car, I’m in the music, and I always look both ways before I turn left. Or so it’s been until the morning Cecil Taylor is ringing all 88 of his black and white bells in a

the oft-quoted comparisons of Taylor’s keyboard to “eighty-eight tuned drums” and of Rashied Ali’s tale of the time Taylor literally “broke in” a secondhand piano, “the keys shooting out of it like bullets.”

“Our Chopin” Gar y Giddins blows through the “charlatan” claim in a 2004 interview, pointing out that “anyone just watching him could see the digital precision: the fact that here’s a guy who plays faster and looser than almost anybody I can think of, and yet his fingers never fall into the cracks, you never hear those minor seconds that Thelonious Monk made famous,” and “the fact that he will play something totally mindbending and then he will do it exactly the same way, so you know that this is

piece he calls “Crossing,” wherein he’s ascending to some pinnacle of sheer unmitigated virtuosity, like an ecstatic Quasimodo swinging from bell to bell in the belfry of Notre Dame. This is what’s happening when I see the stop sign at Snowden that’s of no more consequence in the soundscape than a piece of red paper blowing in the wind. Cecil Taylor’s busy right hand is pulling me toward the right turn I don’t want to make when I come to what remains of my senses and swerve sharply to the left in mid-turn even as a black SUV from hell comes honking out of nowhere, bearing down on my stalwart 18-year-old CRV and staying on my tail down Snowden to Herrontown Road, the invisible driver cursing me all the way I’m sure. By then I don’t mind. To me the SUV is the blaring personification of everyone who ever called Cecil Taylor a charlatan. As I turn up the volume, I’m thinking of

a man who is completely in control.”

T here are en lightene d celebra tions and explications of Cecil Taylor throughout Giddins’s collected writings, from Riding On a Blue Note (1981) to Visions of Jazz (1998) to Weather Bird: Jazz at the Dawn of Its Second Century (2004), where he takes another shot across the bow of the charlatan crowd. Titling the piece, “Our Chopin,” he writes, “I have no interest in whether Taylor’s music will survive the next century as handsomely as Chopin’s did the last, but I do suggest that in the realm of uncontained piano ecstasy, he is the modern analogue — fittingly, one more likely to nuke romance than dwell upon it.”

In the context of Taylor’s “rare American forays into concert halls,” Giddins writes of the way he begins “his extended piano works with poised motifs, building variations stolidly in a kind of foreplay before letting loose the

climaxes of pianistic frenzy, the cascades and avalanches that sate the gallery and torment the disaffected.” At a Lincoln Center concert, “The measured chords were followed by twonote tremolos parked in various keys, as though looking for the right room; rhythmic figures that pirouetted in the air and landed in splat chords; and his fast-tumbling arpeggios, dispersed so that there was no time to take them for granted.” Taylor was 73 when Giddins pictured him “immersing himself in a no-holds-barred three-way rocketlaunching extravaganza” that was “one of modern music’s tonic wonders.”

Endings Listening online to the solo side of the Spring of Two Blue-J’s album (Unit Core 1974), from a 1973 Town Hall performance by the Cecil Taylor Unit, it’s tempting to take a Peter and the Wolf approach, imagining our cat Nick as the pouncing left hand, the birdsong the antic right, the window the place where the call finds the response. Maybe that moment in 2003 was really only about a young cat who was frustrated because he couldn’t get at the birds, or maybe he was simply agitated because they could sing so well and he was just learning. As far as I know, it was a one-time-only recital by a cat whose 15 years of life came to an end the same week as Cecil Taylor’s 89 — one more than the keys on a piano.

——— A s t here are no C eci l Taylor CDs at the library, I looked for what I needed and found it, as on so many occasions in the past, at the Princeton Record Exchange, which will be celebrating the 11th Annual National Record Store Day this Saturday. The quote at top is from a January 1995 WHRB interview with Taylor. The keys as “tuned drums” analogy apparently originated in Valerie Wilmer’s book, As Serious As Your Life: The Story of the New Jazz. The Rashied Ali reference is from Jazz Anecdotes, edited by Bill Crow (Oxford 1990).

sion between religion and science. While Lionel is “the Pope” of the art world, Maude attempts to impress him with forensic evidence.

One of her favorite shows is Law & Order, which she watches with a friend who is a former detective. She tells Lionel that this friend discovered a fingerprint on the painting, and this fingerprint matches one that is visible — through magnification of a photograph on a museum website — on one of Pollack’s works.

Maude begs Lionel to change his answer, as this is her “last chance” after being rejected by other art experts. As with her games of solitaire, she is determined to persist until she is satisfied with the outcome.

Lionel is incensed that she has tried to influence his decision, however, and he refuses to change it. Eventually we learn that Maude’s son was killed while driving drunk. We also discover that the piece of paper she was reading contained a “no questions asked” offer to buy the painting for two million dollars. Lionel urges Maude to accept this offer.

As an actor who has appeared in previous Pegasus productions, director Peter Bisgaier is skilled at eliciting strong, nuanced performances from his cast. Donne Petito lets Maude put all of her metaphoric cards on the table; her feelings and wishes always are on display, though she is manipulative. By contrast, Rupert Hinton’s Lionel attempts to contain his emotions — until they erupt.

Befitting Maude’s character, costume designer Chrissy Johnston has outfitted her with a hodgepodge of clothes. A flowery shirt, resembling her sofa, is worn over a t-shirt on which the American flag is printed. This is a marked contrast to Lionel’s conservative grey suit.

That grey suit evokes another painting. On several occasions, Lionel identifies himself as a “connoisseur” of art. In a 1962 Saturday Evening Post cover by Norman Rockwell, titled “The Connoisseur,” a middle-aged man in a grey suit views a work of art that Rockwell painted in imitation of Pollack’s abstract style. Lionel often stands with his hands behind his back, as does the critic in Rockwell’s painting.

The play received its world premiere in 2011, at the Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles, where Sachs is a co-artistic director.

Subsequent productions have been at the New Jersey Repertory Company, Boston’s New Repertory Theatre, and the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End. akersfield Mist is an entertaining, occasionally upsetting, character study. Sachs’ dialogue is witty, and he is able to hold the audience’s attention by bouncing his protagonists’ personalities off of each other. The plot centers on the questionable authenticity of a painting, but there should be no question that audiences will be entertained by this firstrate production of Sachs’s engaging script.

MUSIC REVIEW

Richardson Chamber Players Explore “Voices of America”

R

ichardson Chamber Players journeyed into a new comfort zone this past weekend with a concert celebrating chamber pieces by AfricanAmerican composers. The 11 members of the Chamber Players performing Sunday afternoon at Richardson Auditorium presented works ranging from the familiar Duke Ellington to a world premiere by one of the University’s own graduate students.

A rare collaboration among Princeton University’s jazz and classical faculty, this concert not only showed the versatility of the Chamber Players musicians but also how far outside the box these individuals have traveled in their musical careers.

New York native Alvin Singleton’s compositional style is rooted in the 20 th century jazz of Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk, as well as Singleton’s compositional studies with Roger Sessions and Milton Babbitt. He based the one-movement Sweet Chariot on the traditional tune “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” with the piece more fantasy than actual interpretation of the melody. Sweet Chariot is scored for two flutes, bassoon, soprano saxophone, and cello, but with several players doubling or tripling up on different instruments, five musicians quickly turned into an ensemble of ten.

This work featured very crisp playing of fast and repetitive passages, especially from flutists Jayn Rosenfeld and Aawa White, along with bassoonist Robert Wagner. Oliver Santana’s saxophone playing (on two different types of saxophone) added a unique sound to the ensemble, and melodic passages from Wagner were particularly soothing.

George Walker’s Bleu, for solo violin, was expertly played by Adda Kridler, a soloist whose performing career has crossed genres from classical to Broadway to Cuba. With a Harvard undergraduate degree in cognitive neuroscience, Kridler would understandably have a solid intellectual approach to the music. Based on an eight-note scale, Bleu made serious technical demands of the soloist, but also created a dichotomy of tension and sweetness which was well emphasized by Kridler. Shifting easily among the moods of the work, Kridler handled the quick passages cleanly, creating drama by taking her time between phrases.

Once in a great while, a musician will take an instrument associated with more popular genres and raise it to a level of virtuosity and cross into classical repertory. Princeton University PhD student

Kendall K. Williams has made a career moving the steel pan, an instrument part of a steel band, to the forefront of the classical stage. However, for Taking a Chance, given its world premiere Sunday afternoon, Williams put aside the steel pan and focused on nine members of the Richardson Chamber Players. Scored for flute, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, violin, cello, double bass, piano, and drums, this piece took a six-note melodic motive and varied it through orchestral color, dynamic variety, and the percussion of the piano. Flutist Rosenfeld led things off with a saucy melodic line, answered by the rest of the ensemble in various instrumental combinations, all expertly accompanied by pianist Margaret Kampmeier. Throughout the work, the musicians were always together as thematic riffs were passed around, with clarinetist Jo-Ann Sternberg providing especially smooth playing when her turn came around.

The fourth significant work on the program was a work by Haitian-American composer Daniel Bernard Roumain that combined the culture of a HaitianAmerican heritage with the pop idioms of funk, rock, and hip-hop in an “experiential sonic form.” Roumain’s Fast Black Dance Machine, scored for six musicians, drew from musical styles popular in the United States in the 20th century, as well as music from throughout the Caribbean.

Kampmeier’s consistently precise piano passages seemed especially rooted in the minimalism of Philip Glass, and all players were required to draw on their technical skill in the piece. The instrumental lines were very classically rooted (especially from the piano), and the final section of the piece featured a unique intensity, as motives and colors piled on one another. or familiarity, four musicians of the Chamber Players entertained the audience with three selections from the legendary Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington collaboration. One of the most impressive aspects of this trio of works (including the popular “Take the ‘A’ Train” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got that Swing)” was the keyboard skills of John Nydam, a sophomore at Princeton University and recipient of numerous awards in jazz performance and composition. The performance of the Ellington works was clearly a crowd-pleaser, as Sunday afternoon’s mix of student and faculty, jazz and classical, ended the Richardson Chamber Players season with a brilliant flourish.

— was more concerned with minimizing the potential damage the accident might have on his political ambitions. So, while Mary Jo remained trapped in the car for hours, he convened the Kennedy family’s brain trust instead of first reporting the accident to the police and fire department.

In fact, the authorities only learned about the wreck the next morning when, at low tide, some fishermen spotted the wheels of a car upside down in the channel. Unfortunately, by the time divers arrived, Mary Jo had drowned.

Nevertheless, Kennedy and his helpers, did their best to exculpate him of any wrongdoing. At first, he claimed Mary Jo had been driving, so that no one could accuse him of driving under the influence of alcohol. Later, he admitted to being behind the wheel but concocted a story about having tried to rescue her several times before she died.

Thanks to the Kennedy family’s connections, the legal team was able to influence the inquest. Without performing an autopsy, the medical examiner concluded that Kopechne had died of drowning. Consequently, the powerful senator was not indicted by the grand jury nor charged with a crime of any nature.

Directed by John Curran (The Painted Veil), Chappaquiddick is a documentary drama that sets the record straight about what really happened on that fateful night in 1969. Ironically, the elaborate coverup didn’t allow Kennedy to run for president, although it did keep him out of jail.

n July 18, 1969, Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy (Jason Clarke) hosted a reunion in a rented cottage on Chappaquiddick, a tiny island just 150 yards off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. The gathering was in honor of the Boiler Room Girls, six women who had worked on his late brother Bobby’s presidential campaign the previous year.

Around 11:15 pm, Kennedy left the party in his ‘67 Oldsmobile with one of those young staffers, 28 year-old Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Mara). About an hour later, the car, driven by Kennedy, went down a dirt road and off of a wooden bridge. The driver lost control and the car landed upside-down in Poucha Pond.

Kennedy managed to escape from the car and swim to shore, leaving Mary Jo in the submerged automobile, wrongly assuming that she was dead. Unfortunately, she was still alive and able to breathe, thanks to a large air pocket in the car.

However, instead of trying to save Mary Jo, Kennedy — who was planning to run for the White House in ‘72

Sears Making Immediate Impact on Attack As PU Women’s Lax Girds for Stretch Drive

F

or Kyla Sears, singing the national anthem before home games for the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team has helped calm her nerves when she hits the field.

“The funny thing is, I did it in high school and I found out I got way more nervous to sing than when I played,” said Princeton freshman star attacker Sears, who performs the singing duties in tandem with Julia Haney. “So when it was over it is, oh, now we can play.”

Sears was anxious to play

last Saturday after No. 20 Princeton suffered a tough 11-10 loss to third-ranked Maryland on Wednesday which saw Sears get disqualified due to a pair of yellow card in the first half as the Tigers squandered an 8-4 lead with 21:15 remaining in regulation.

“The whole team in general had a burning to get back out here on the field,” said Sears, a 5’4 native of Skaneateles, N.Y. “We played so hard the other night and fell just short. I think today we really

came and showed what we can do.”

Sears didn’t waste any time showing her offensive skills against Yale, tallying two goals and an assist as Princeton jumped out to a 8-1 lead at halftime over the Bulldogs “We have finally gotten into a groove and a rhythm we have been looking for all season,” said Sears.

“Once we get that, I think it is really hard to stop us.

What is so special about our offense is that I really trust every single one of them to handle the ball.”

The Tigers pulled away to an 18-4 win, improving to 7-5 overall and 3-1 Ivy League.

“It has been easy to play whatever part I can in the offense,” said Sears, who ended up with four goals and an assist in the victory and now leads the team with 53 points on 39 goals and 14 assists.

“Everybody has a role, whether they are a feeder or a shooter. I think what is so dynamic about out attack is everybody can do both. We can all play any position and that is really good.”

While Sears has faced a challenge in adjusting to the more physical play at the college level, she has quickly

found a comfort level with the Tigers.

“I just think it is how much contact there is in college; that is something you have to get used to,” said Sears.

“Being small, you really have to work around that.

Other than that, everyone has made it as easy a transition as possible for our freshman class. I think that is a credit to how encouraging our coaches have been, not just to me in particular. It is also the teammates around me, who have encouraged me every day.”

Princeton head coach Chris Sailer is encouraged

by Sears’ sizzling start.

“Kyla is just fantastic; she is such a competitor,” said Sailer. “She has such awareness and game sense. She has a great stick and is explosive. She can catch a ball and make a move inside. She is money on the 8-meter. She has made us better in every way and the kids love playing with her, which is great to see.

Acknowledging that the loss to Maryland was hard to swallow, Sailer believes it showed how the Tigers are getting better and better.

“It is tough to lose a game like that when you are playing so well and have the lead,” said Sailer.

“I think the growth we have shown from the beginning games against Virginia (a 1410 loss on February 24) and Loyola (a 13-7 loss on March 10) to that Maryland game is phenomenal. We knew we were a younger team this year. You start five freshmen with a lot of kids who have to step up into new roles. It has taken us a while to really

hit our stride but I feel we are starting to do that.”

The Tigers knocked Yale off stride with a tenacious defensive effort.

“We didn’t click as well as we would have wanted to on offense, but I thought our ride was phenomenal; we forced so many turnovers on the ride and that was a big emphasis for us,” said Sailer, whose team made Yale commit 21 turnovers on the day.

“We did so well on the draw (winning 16-of-24).

Their kid set the Ivy League record; she usually gets 10plus a game. The defensive unit was awesome today.”

Senior Ellie McNulty scored three goals and junior Elizabeth George added two to help spark the offensive unit. “They are starting to pick it up,” said Sailer. “We need our midfield to do some scoring for us so those two are starting to get it going.”

With Princeton currently sitting in third place in the Ivy standings and the top four making the league’s tourney, Sailer knows the Tigers have to keep it going to earn a shot at postseason play.

“We have three Ivy games left; they are really important Ivy games,” said Sailer, whose team hosts Cornell (6-6 overall, 2-3 Ivy) on April 21. “We are moving in the right direction. We are excited to compete.”

Sears, for her part, is excited for the stretch drive. “If we are not at our peak right now, that is a good thing,” said Sears. “We are on the right path to peak when we need to in the Ivy tournament and hopefully go farther than that.”

Philip Robertson spent his freshmen season on the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team as an understudy for Gavin McBride.

As attackman McBride tallied a program-record 54 goals last spring in his final campaign, Robertson soaked up as much as he could from the senior star.

“L ast year was nice, I was able to get a year under my belt,” said Robertson. “Gavin McBride was a tremendous player; I tried to watch him and lear n from him. This year, I have stepped into that role, I try to follow that.”

Robertson has followed in McBride’s footsteps nicely, emerging as Princeton’s goto finisher, scoring seven goals in a 17-11 win over Siena on April 10 and then tallying six last Saturday to help the Tigers rout Dartmouth 24-13 for their first Ivy League win of the season.

In t he w in over Dar tmouth, Robertson and the Tigers broke open a game that saw Princeton leading 4-3 after the first quarter, reeling off nine unanswered goals to build a 13-3 halftime lead, “The offense just started clicking. We just started finding those open areas,” said Robertson, who chipped in a pair of goals during the second quarter outburst. “As a whole offense, we are finding those seams and really doing a great job clicking as a group.”

The offense made a lot of history on what turned out to be a milestone day for the Princeton program.

Sophomore star Michael Sowers hit 10 points in a game for the first time in his career with three goals and a career-high seven assists.

Senior stars Austin Sims and Riley Thompson tallied seven points apiece as they

each hit the 100-point mark in their careers in a game that saw the most combined goals between the teams in Tiger history.

Robertson enjoyed being on the receiving end of two Sowers’ assists on the day.

“It has been so much fun playing with him; His work ethic is second to none,” said Robertson of Sowers.

“He is an absolutely fantastic player. His vision is unbelievable and his ability to find people. I just try to find a little opening and I think he is going to hit me when I am open.”

The career achievement of Sims and Thompson also hit home for Robertson.

“They are absolutely great leaders on on our team, seeing them hit their 100th point was absolutely awesome,” said Robertson.

“I was so excited for them that I ran off and congratulated them. They work extremely hard and deserve any t h ing t hat comes to them, I couldn’t be happier for them. Hopefully they keep rolling from there.”

In the wake of his recent scoring roll, Robertson now leads the Tigers in goals with 29.

“It is really just getting out there and shooting a lot more,” said Robertson, a 5’6, 160 -pound native of Salem, Va. who scored just three goals last spring.

“I have got guys like Mike Sowers to go out and shoot with.”

Princeton head coach Matt Madalon is happy to see his team get on the right track as it posted its third straight win and improved to 6-5 overall and 1-3 Ivy. “We tried to get wins under our belt and hopefully get some confidence and shore up our systems a little bit,” said Madalon.

“We did that and that was

the biggest thing, getting our systems ready and now start executing at a high level. The guys did a good job.”

In reflecting on the team’s 9-0 second quarter, Madalon attributed it to taking care of the basics.

“We just did a good job at the face-off X and then all of a sudden, we were winning the possession battle and we were able to take off and start playing,” said Madalon. “I think there were 18 assisted goals today, that is an incredible stat. It is very unselfish and just really impressive.”

The play of Sowers, who now has a team-high 72 points and leads the nation in assists with 28, is more than impressive.

“That guy is incredible; he is an awesome player,” said Madalon, “He is so unselfish; he does it all within the framework of our offense.

He is never holding the ball and trying to do it himself.”

Having senior stalwarts Sims and Thompson each hit the 100-point mark was awesome for the program.

“It is just a testament to what those guys have done for us through the years,” said Madalon. “They are really consistent guys. They do it everyday on practice and they do it everyday in the games, so we are really happy for them. It is a great milestone; I am sure they are happy, but all they want is postseason play.”

Madalon is happy with the production he is getting out of Robertson.

“Getting 13 goals in two games, that is a pretty impressive stat,” said Madalon.

“He is just a really savvy player, he has taken advantage of his opportunity. He is doing a nice job.”

While the offensive heroics were eye-catching, the Princeton defense has quietly been doing a better job.

“We are getting better every week there, and that is our goal,” said Madalon.

“We were able to do that in these last couple of week and to do that with a couple of wins and now we are off and rolling with three in a row. It is a nice feeling.”

With Princeton playing at Harvard (7-4 overall, 2-2 Ivy) on April 21 looking to stay alive in the race to finish in the top four in the Ivy standings and earn a berth in the league’s postseason tournament, Madalon hopes his team can keep rolling.

“Our thought is we are going to come back and hopefully have a great practice on Monday,” added Madalon. “We are going to power through and hopefully build. We are going to execute in that first quarter and that will be a direct result of how well we practice throughout the week. We are really looking forward to that and getting back to work with these guys.”

Robertson, for his part, is looking forward to battling the Crimson.

“We are definitely starting to click a little bit as a group and find our footing,” said Robertson.

“We will watch some film of today and see where we made some mistakes and have a good, hard week of practice and then be ready to take on Harvard. We are excited for it.”

Hampered by Interruptions From Poor Weather, Princeton Baseball Searching for Consistency After seeing five games get washed or snowed out in late March, the Princeton Universit y baseball team has been treading water as the calendar hit April.

“It h as b e e n a rou g h year because it has been hard to get into any kind of rhy t h m,” s aid P r inc e to n h e a d c o a c h S c ot t Bradley, whose team was 3-3 in April as it looked forward to hosting a threegame set against Penn last weekend. “There are times where I think we are pretty good and there are other times where we are just not there.”

In the opening game of the Penn series last Friday afternoon, the Tigers exemplified that inconsistency, clinging to a 1- 0 lead heading into the sixth inning and then yielding six runs in the top of that frame on the way to a 7-2 defeat.

“It is all about your starting pitcher keeping you in games, Ryan [ Smith ] did a really good job,” said Bradley.

“All year, we have had a really tough time avoiding big innings. We have two outs, a 1-0 lead, and nobody on base and then t here is a walk and si x straight hits and all of a sudden we found ourselves

Get the scoop from

out of it, especially be cause offensively we are struggling a little bit. We aren’t scoring a whole lot of runs so once you find yourself behind three or four, then it gets tough.”

A day later in a doubleh e a d e r w i t h t h e Q u a kers, the Tigers produced a not h er u neve n p er for mance. Former Princeton High standout and senior star Ben Gross gave the Tigers some superb starting pitch ing, s c at ter ing nine hits and striking out seven in a 3-0 shutout. But Princeton didn’t build on that, giving up five runs in the top of the first in t he n ightc ap as it u lt i mately fell 10-1, dropping to 8-16 overall and 5-4 Ivy League.

Noting that Iv y League changed its format, doing away with its former twodiv ision set-up and now having the teams play seven three-game series with the top two teams meeting in the league championship series, the resulting earlier start to the Ivy season hurt the Tigers as its series with Harvard slated for March 26-27 had to be rescheduled due to snow.

“To have to give up half your spring break and com e hom e a nd play a home series, it is so early in the year in the northeast

t hat t here as ver y lit tle chance that our field would be ready,” said Bradley.

“They almost have to try to send all of the games to the turf fields; our field was still freezing and thawing.”

With Princeton now slated to play the three-game series against Harvard on April 24 and 25, the Tigers will be stretched pitchingwise.

“If you lose a weekend like we did, it is going to be rough tr ying to come up with enough pitching to get us through nine league games in 10 days,” said Bradley. “It is hard.”

But with the battletested Bradley in his 21st season at the helm of the Tigers, he w ill br ing an even-keeled approach to things.

“You just take it one day at time, we always talk about winning series,” said Bradley, whose club has a three-game set at Columbia this weekend w ith a doubleheader scheduled for April 21 and a single game on April 22.

“The first weekend, we lost the first game to Cornell and then came back and beat them twice. We need to come out and get good pitching. We have got to be able to score some runs and put pressure on the other team.”

With Robertson Developing Into Top Finisher, PU Men’s Lax Routs Dartmouth on Milestone Day

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2018 • 30

Fueled by Disappointing Finish at NCAAs in 2017, Tiger Open Crew Driven to Succeed This Spring After rolling through the regular season last spring with an 11-0 and winning the Ivy League Championships, the Princeton University open women’s varsity eight hit a roadblock at the NCAA championships.

Failing to make the Grand Final, the Tigers took third in the Petite Final to place nint h overall, put t ing a damper on an otherwise superb campaign.

The bitter taste left from that disappointment has served to give the squad’s returning rowers a little extra motivation heading into 2018.

“The team is very driven this year; there was some disappointment after the national championships, it is true,” said Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny.

“I think that has fueled them to some extent. We had a decent fall but it wasn’t as if we won everything. They knew that there was still more work to be done going into the spring season. They have really done a nice job of just staying at it.”

The squad’s veterans have set a tone of diligence. “We do have a core of seniors and they are a good group with a very good attitude and the junior class is also strong,” said Dauphiny “It is a combo of the upperclassmen leading the team.”

To bet ter prepare for postseason competition, Princeton has beefed up its schedule, adding foes from different regions in addition to its normal Ivy League slate.

“It is really the future for women’s rowing,” said Dauphiny, whose team has already faced Michigan, Notre Dame, and Iowa this spring with Virginia, Syracuse, and Wisconsin on the horizon.

“For us to be invited to the national championship, you have to show speed within your season and not only in your conference. You also need to show that your conference is strong across the country.”

L ast Saturday, the Tigers combined an Ivy race against Yale and a matchup with Big 10 foe Iowa. Princeton topped Yale to win the Eisenberg Cup but finished second behind Iowa in suffering its first defeat of the spring.

“It was mixed feelings; I was not surprised by Iowa because I had been tracking their progress; they have raced some good teams and they have done well against them,” said Dauphiny, whose top boat clocked a time of 6:13.5 over the 2,000-meter course on Lake Carnegie with Iowa posting a winning time of 6:10.8 and Yale taking third in 6:17.1.

“Most recently they raced Michigan and beat them by 13 seconds. We beat Michigan by five so I knew that they were going to be fast and they were. We lost to a very good crew, that is a good boat. It was nice to retain the Eisenberg Cup; that was important to us. Yale is also a strong, formidable crew and we knew that. It was live and learn.”

In Dauphiny’s view, her rowers will learn from the setback. “It is good to handle a loss; when you lose you can either feel sorry for yourself or you can figure out what the next step is,” said Dauphiny. “ We ta l ke d as a te a m that we are only halfway through our season so we have time to grow and learn from the lessons this weekend. I think race strategy is one; also learning how to be down and come from behind and learning how to race multiple boats.”

With Princeton, now 101, heading south to face the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. on April 21, Dauphiny will be looking for that growth.

“It is going to be ver y impor tant to handle t he challenges of a new course that we have never been on before,” said Dauphiny.

“We need to get a little more race savvy. This is a dual race so it has its own element. We can improve upon some of the mistakes that we made last weekend.

E ach b oat has d if ferent things that they are working on; each boat has different parts of the race that they wanted to focus on. It can make us stronger and it can make us more aware of the weaknesses that we have.”

Princeton is next in action when it hosts its annual Larry Ellis Invitational from April 20-21.

Even though the Princeton High baseball team endured losing campaigns in the first three years of his career, Alec Silverman sensed things would be different this spring.

“Our guys have invested so much into it,” said Silverman, noting that there are eight seniors on the PHS roster.

“We knew what to expect this year, we knew we were

going to come out and do good things. It was just about sur pr ising people and showing them what we have got pitching and offensively.”

In the early going this spring, PHS has emerged as one of the most pleasant surprises in the area, getting off to a 5-3 start.

L ast Thursday as PHS topped Trenton 8-1, Silverman slugged an RBI double in the bottom of the first inning to set the tone as the Little Tigers pulled away to the victory.

“For me it has been about simplifying my at-bats; seeing the ball, hitting the ball,” said Silverman, who ended up going 2-for-3 with a walk and the double in the win.

“Sometimes I come out here and try to do too much; in reality that is all it is about for me.”

The Little Tigers are doing well collectively with their bats. “Offensively, we

are hot right now and that is what we expect from our guys,” said Silverman. “I have confidence in all of our guys, up and down any where from our nine hitter to our one hitter. Everyone is doing their job.”

Silverman has assumed a big job on defense this spring as he is calling the pitches from his catcher spot.

“It has been really fun; he has given me the responsibility of calling pitches this year,” said Silverman, who helped junior star Teddy D urbin hurl a no - h it ter against Notre Dame on April 6 and guided senior standout Paul Cooke through 5 2/3 hitless innings against Trenton.

“I just try to do my best to try to look at hitters and see what they have got and just go from there. It is just calling the right pitches at the right times and trusting my pitchers to execute and

The characteristic straight rows of holes from the pecking of the Yellow-Belly Sapsuckers are a curiosity to many. The birds are not searching for the larvae of boring insects as often assumed. What they actually do is eat the live inner bark (phloem) of the trees, as well as the insects that are attracted to the resulting wounded areas and sap flow that their pecking creates. Unless the holes are close enough together to cause girdling of stems or branches, the trees are usually not affected. Once the birds have identified a suitable tree, they will return year after year.

For trees severely damaged, consider deep root bio-fertilization with organic stimulants to maintain health and improve stress resistance.

PHS has been get ting some very good hitting from junior Eli Okoye and senior Zack Yoelson. “Eli and Yoelson have been destroying the baseball, there is doubt about it,” said Roberts.

“Yoelson has five RBIs in the last two days, he is hitting at a good clip. He is seeing the ball really well in the cage and it is showing on the field. Eli is stinging the ball, he had three RBIs yesterday.

They are doing a great job.”

While Roberts is encouraged by his team’s positive start, he is pushing his players to maintain a businesslike approach in order to keep winning.

“We just need to keep doing what we have been doing,” said Roberts, whose team fell 5-2 to Pennington last Saturday to move to 5-3

and will look to get back on the winning track as it hosts Hightstown on April 18 and Allentown on April 19 before playing at Hightstown on April 20 and then hosting Robbinsville on April 23. “It is just continuing to take our batting practice, continuing to do our drills. As we get outside more, we will shore up the defense.”

In Silverman’s view, the Little Tigers aren’t about to let up. “It is a matter of staying within ourselves; we have got to keep the energy up and the focus at every at bat,” said Silverman. “You can’t take a pitch off, especially defensively, because that one pitch might just cost us a game. We are are just going to keep rolling with what we have got.”

hit the spot. We have four arms that we really trust right now.”

As one of the team captains along with classmate Mike Ramirez, Silverman has worked hard to build a culture of trust this spring for the Little Tigers.

“We have been trying to get those guys to do things together,” said Silverman, who is headed to Macalester College where he will play for its baseball program.

“We had team dinners and all of that team bonding. We count on each other 100 percent and there is no one that we think can’t do that job if we put them in there.”

PHS head coach Dave Roberts likes the way Silverman is getting the job done, defensively and offensively.

“Alec is doing great; he has a lot of responsibility this year so he is mentally into it every game,” said Roberts.

“He is calling all the pitches himself, which is the first time I let him do that. He is doing a great job. He called a no-hitter and almost called another one. He has got that responsibility and he has got to come up as our cleanup hitter offensively and stay focused.”

The Little Tigers got a focused mound effort from Cooke in the win over Trenton.

“He got stronger as he went on, any good pitcher is going to do that,” said Roberts.

“Specifically for him today, it was the first time he has been on the mound since our scrimmages in March.

Paulie gave us a good effort and a good game.”

Sparked by Return of Singles Standouts, PHS Boys’ Tennis Primed for MCT Run When singles stars Noah Lilienthal and Jerry Gu decided to not play for the Princeton High boys’ tennis team last spring due to other commitments, it gave other players the chance to step up and gain some valuable experience.

PHS ended up going 14-5 in 2017, advancing to the North 2 Group 3 sectional quarterfinals as Kevin Yang starred at first singles, giving the squad some yeo man’s work in that spot.

With senior Lilienthal and junior Gu having returned to the fold this spring at their first and second singles spots, respectively, and senior Yang having shifted to third singles, the Little Tigers have the potential to do some big things this spring.

“When you have two players like that at the top of the lineup, it is great,” said PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert.

“Kevin had a great season for us at No. 1 last year; he worked really hard and stepped up. When you have a talent like his down at third singles, it definitely strengthens your lineup.”

T he L it t le Tigers pro d u c e d a s t r o n g p e r for mance in a losing cause as they fell 3.5-1.5 to WW/PSouth on April 9 with Yang

winning at third singles and Lilienthal splitting two sets of his match against Pirate star Robert Siniakowicz before it was called a draw after the Pirates clinched the team win.

“It was an incredible match, especially at first singles,” said Hibbert reflecting on the clash against South. “That was probably close to three hours long for just the two sets.”

The Wesleyan Universitybound Lilienthal has been displaying some incredible shotmaking this spring.

“Noah looks great; he has an all around game,” said Hibbert. “He has a great ser ve, he has impressive groundstrokes, and he has a one -handed back hand that is not the most common sight in tennis, but he has a very impressive one.”

Gu has made an impressive return at second singles. “Jerry has looked very good as well; he was sick for a little bit during preseason so he is getting back to top form,” said Hibbert.

“He played really well against Alex [Yang of WW/ P-South], unfortunately he cramped in the third set.”

Yang has continued to show good form, starring at third singles as he builds on last year’s progress.

“Kevin has worked really hard on his game as well,” said Hibbert. “He started out making some uncharacteristic mistakes against South ; he didn’t play as well as he would have liked to on the beginning of the

match. He was able to turn it around and close it out.”

A trio of juniors Simon Hwang, Sameeer Joshi, and Aryaman Babber along with R ichard Yang have been seeing action at doubles.

“We haven’t had many practice days and we haven’t been play ing as many matches so it has been an interrupted season,” said Hibbert. “Those four guys are in the mix, we are still trying to find the best pairing. We are looking to solidify them going forward.”

L o ok i ng a h e ad to t h e upcoming Mercer County Tournament, which starts on April 23, Hibbert sees her team as a solid title contender.

“We are definitely in the mix; when you have a 1-2-3 punch like we have in singles, we have the potential to do well,” said Hibbert, whose team is 4-1 in dual match play and hosts Notre Dame on April 20 as it prepares for the MCT. “There are a lot of strong singles players in the county. It is going to come down a lot to draws, seeding as well as doubles. It matters who steps up and who is feeling a little more on that day. It should be an interesting tournament.”

PHS Girls’ Lacrosse Catches Fire After 0-4 Start As Star Midfielder Lopez-Ona Triggers Offense Mariana Lopez-Ona and her Princeton High girls’ lacrosse teammates knew they were in for a challenge as they hosted powerful Allentown last week.

But having already faced a gauntlet of formidable foes such as Hunterdon Central, Notre Dame, and RumsonFair Haven, PHS wasn’t fazed by taking on the Redbirds.

“We have been playing a lot of hard teams,” said PHS junior star Lopez-Ona. “We had our first win yesterday (10-7 over Hun on April 9) and we were definitely happy about that. Allentown is a really good team and we knew it would he really tough.”

Lopez-Ona helped PHS get of f to a good star t against Allentown, firing a pass to Shaylah Marciano which she converted into a goal to give the Little Tigers a 1-0 lead with 23:08 left in the first half.

“We noticed they were dropping quickly and doubling us as soon as we drove and I think the draw and dump worked really well, Shaylah had a really nice shot after that,” said LopezOna. After that early PHS tally, though, Allentown started converting its shots, jumping out to a 9-3 lead on the way to a 14-7 win.

“We came in today and we just wanted to play as strong as we could,” said LopezOna, reflecting on the defeat. “I think we fought to the end.”

While Lopez-Ona ended up with three goals and an assist in the loss, she acknowledged that she could have played better.

“I cou ld have made a few more shots, but it was a pretty good showing for our whole team,” said Lopez-Ona. “We will all learn from it and come back stronger for the next time.”

Since the loss to Allentown, the Little Tigers have come on strong, winning three straight games.

“We have always played the tough teams, it has helped us a lot as we go into the rest of the season,” said Lopez-Ona, who tallied four goals and an assist to help PHS defeat Hightstown 15-7 last Monday as the Little Tigers improved to 4-5. “We will be sharper; it is a tough to go 0-4 in the beginning but we were playing top 20 teams.”

PHS head coach Sara Doran believes her squad will be better in the long run from taking its lumps early on.

“We have really been challenged; we recognize what we need to work on,” said Doran. “We are going to take that to practice and hopefully that can translate on the field.”

With Allentown boasting firepower all over the field, Doran credited her defense with producing a scrappy effort.

“I was very proud of our defense today,” said Doran.

“I thought they played really well, they were crashing well, they were communicating well. We were giving them a hard time. We knew they were high powered going in so we decided to play a more conservative defense.”

Doran liked the way that L opez- Ona powered t he PHS offense. “Mariana is always a threat; she is such a beautiful player,” said Doran of Lopez-Ona, who has committed to attend the University of Michigan and play for its women’s lacrosse program.

“She was going really well on the draw today, I was very proud of her. I said to her before the game that you have got to play a supporting role today because they will be all you and you have got to be looking up. She did that well. She drove when

she had the openings and was able to convert some into goals.”

In Doran’s view, the Little Tigers have the weapons to pile up goals.

“We have a lot of really good attackers ; it is not just Mariana,” said Doran, whose team hosts Hopewell Valley on April 20 before playing at Pingry on April 21 and W W/ P-Nor th on April 23.

“I trust all of our attackers — Shaylah, Abaigeal Ryan, and Kathryn DeMilt — with the ball. We need to be sharing the ball, using all of our personnel, and taking advantage so that when a team is focusing on one of our players, it makes it harder to defend. We need to work on our shooting a little bit, I feel like we had opportunities today that we weren’t able to convert.”

Lopez-Ona, for her part, is determined to facilitate things on the offensive end.

“We have a lot of good people on the team and I hope to have everyone involved and moving,” said Lopez-Ona. “ We h ave h a d g a m e s where we have been doubled or face-guarded and we need to capitalize on the other plays that we can do.

We have really good balance and a lot of players who can do things.”

MFG., CO.

It has been a bumpy ride so far this spring for the Princeton Day School boys tennis team as injury and var ious player absences have prevented it from putting its top lineup out on the court.

But reflecting the depth of talent in the program, the Panthers have still produced an encouraging 3-1 start with wins over Gill St. Bernard’s, Hun, and Peddie.

T he constant that has been helping the Panthers keep on the winning track is the play of senior star Lex Decker at first singles.

“Lex is very good,” said PDS head coach Will Asch.

“He is a very different player certainly than he was even as a sophomore. He was pretty strong last year but he is stronger, he is bigger, he is taller, and he is fast.

He has a lot of skill.”

IN SERVICE: Princeton Day School boys’ tennis player Lex Decker fires a serve in a match last season. Senior star Decker has been a constant at first singles this spring for PDS as the Panthers have gotten off to a 3-1 start. In upcoming action, PDS has home matches against Hopewell Valley on April 18, Pennington on April 19, and Upper Canada College on April 21 before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament on April 23 at Mercer County Park.

With sophomore standout Chris Delaney currently sidelined, senior Vivek Sharma has stepped up to second singles and has displayed some skill.

“Vivek is a strong player, he got some wins for us last year at third singles, hopefully that is where he will be playing again,” said Asch.

“He is quite a bit better than last year.”

Freshman Aaron Phogat has been picking up some wins at third singles.

“He is a very good competitor and he is a good player too,” said Asch. “He plays USTA; I am sure he is ranked in his age group in the Middle States. He is quite good.”

T he pa ir of f re sh ma n Aaron Chu and senior Riley Gudgel has combined to form a good tandem at first doubles.

“That is a very good team; that is one of the best first doubles teams we have had in a long time,” said Asch.

“They are both very strong players. It is not that often that you get two players who are really strong, either of them could be playing singles in many years. Riley did play singles for us in previous years.”

At second doubles, Asch has been mixing and matching to find the right combination.

“We have tried out several people and a couple of boys are emerging in A neesh Kumar and Eric Leung,” said Asch. “They will probably be our second doubles as long as we don’t get a lot of players back.”

With the Mercer County Tour nament star t ing on April 23, Asch is hoping that PDS can emerge as a dark horse.

“The Mercer County Tournament is very tough for us; we have to be in there with our best year and the other teams have to have a little bit of an off year,” said Asch, noting that Decker and the first doubles pair should be tough to beat.

Junior Star Nyce Helping With Bat, Arm As PDS Baseball Produces Solid 4-2 Start Even though the Princeton Day School baseball team trailed the Peddie School 4-0 in the second inning last Thursday one day after falling 14-12 to Hun in extra innings, Matt Nyce was confident that the Panthers would rally.

“It was pretty early in the game and we have been hitting really well,” said junior star second baseman Nyce.

“Obviously we had a rough inning in the top of the second but I am pretty sure we knew we would it get going.”

Nyce helped PDS get going in the bottom of the second, picking up an RBI as the Panthers went on to score six runs and never looked back on the way to a 13-6 win.

“Since we we got back from our Florida trip we have been hit ting really well; we have four guys hitting over .400 right now,” said Nyce.

“I think we have just been feeding off of each other’s

hits. Once Luke [Franzoni] hit that home run [in the third inning], everyone was excited.”

Nyce, who batted leadoff against Peddie, ended up going 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs. “I usually hit cleanup and I actually enjoy that because I was getting runs in,” said Nyce. “I like leadoff too. I will hit wherever, as long as I am in the lineup.”

In reflecting on his hot start, Nyce is enjoying a new confidence at the plate this spring.

“Last year I was in my head a lot; I wasn’t as focused and I didn’t believe in myself,” said Nyce, who is hitting .480 with 12 runs and nine RBIs through six games. “Now I believe in myself and I know I can hit anyone. I think that is the biggest thing.”

The versatile Nyce has also contributed this spring as a pitcher, picking up a win on the mound when

Last Thursday, junior star Nyce went 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs to help PDS defeat Peddie 13-6. The Panthers, who lost to Nottingham 10-8 last Saturday to fall to 4-2, host Conwell Egan (Pa.) on April 19 and Lawrence High on April 21 before playing at Gill St.Bernard’s on April 23.

PDS topped Lawrenceville 10-7 in its season opener on April 5.

“Mostly for pitching, I just try to throw strikes,” said Nyce. “I don’t have overpowering stuff, I know my role as a pitcher.”

While Nyce acknowledges that PDS is not an overpowering team, he believes the Panthers can have a big spring.

“I think we have a lot of fight, ever yone wants to win,” said Nyce of the Panthers, who lost to Nottingham 10-8 last Saturday to fall to 4-2 and will host Conwell Egan (Pa.) on April 19 and Lawrence High on April 21 before playing at Gill St.Bernard’s on April 23.

“This year I think everyone realizes that we may not be as talented as the last two years but if we work together and bring energy, we can win a lot of games.

Once one guy starts to hit, it is contagious. As long as the pitchers throw strikes and we field, I think we can be tough to beat.”

John C. Borden Jr. John C. Borden Jr., Fundraiser for Quaker Projects, died peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on April 11, 2018. Born in New York City in 1929, he was a descendent of the prominent Borden textile family – which included the notorious Lizzie Borden – of Fall River, Mass. John grew up in New York and Rumson, N.J. and was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale University. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1951 and was stationed in Alaska before joining the family business, Borden Mills, in 1955.

He married the love of his life — the actress Gloria Jones — in 1955, and they moved to Princeton in the late 1950s to raise a family and become members of Princeton Friends Meeting.

Spurred by a keen interest in photography, John founded Galler y 100 in 1960.

The popular Nassau Street shop specialized in graphic design, framing, photography, and art supplies, but also featured a gallery of original art, much of it by prominent New Jersey artists from the Roosevelt art community.

John’s true passion, however, lay in world peace, social justice, and care for the underserved. Following the sale of Gallery 100 in the late 1960s, he dedicated himself to non-profit service both locally and abroad. As a professional fundraiser a n d c o n s u l t a n t for t h e American Friends Service Committee, John traveled extensively to secure grants from European agencies for the support of famine relief, development, and peace programs in Africa’s devel-

ZILLOW: MY HOUSE IS WORTH WHAT?

STOCKTON MEANS FULL SERVICE REAL ESTATE.

Whether you’re interested in buying or selling a home, you’ve probably done a little online sleuthing to find out average prices for similar homes in your area. One tool that’s become really popular for gathering home value estimates is Zillow, which uses an algorithm to “guesstimate” home values. The resulting estimates are called “Zestimates,” and while it may sound appealing, multiple studies have shown the tool itself is wildly inaccurate. In fact, there’s at least one lawsuit pending against the company that alleges the values it provides are extremely misleading - even damaging.

We list, We sell, We manage. If you have a house to sell or rent we are ready to service you! Call us for any of your real estate needs and check out our website at:

If you want to do a little online cost comparison, the Realtor.com website is a much better option. Even then, though, the site offer asking prices, which can be a lot different from actual final sales prices. The best option of all: Talk to an actual real estate agent with experience in the market you’re interested in. An agent is “on the ground” every day with access to all sorts of market info not available online.

And that means they’re uniquely positioned to offer you the best guidance and most accurate values to get you the best price and the fastest closing - whether you’re a seller or a buyer.
