PBS Threatens Suit Under Clean Water Act; Institute Responds As the Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS) set forth its latest plan to halt the Institute for Advanced Study’s (IAS) faculty housing project last week, the Institute, claiming that “our right to build is not in doubt,” announced that it has received all necessary permits and addressed all reasonable concerns and that the project “is essential if [the Institute] is to be able to sustain its mission for future generations of scholars.” PBS last Thursday filed notice to sue IAS and its partnering construction and engineering firms in federal court under the Clean Water Act, unless, within 60 days, federal (Environmental Protection Agency) or state (Department of Environmental Protection) authorities stop the 15unit housing project. PBS cited violations of federal law in the IAS site preparations “for unpermitted discharges into wetlands that are navigable waters” and called for the removal of all fill material, restoration of the wetlands, and fines of $37,500 per day for discharges of dirt and sand onto each of two designated wetlands on the building site. The Battlefield Society further suggested that the IAS had obtained permits by fraudulent means and claimed that “since the Institute appears to have obtained Letters of Interpretation concerning the site from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection by withholding information and/or providing misleading information, the court would be justified in assessing the full penalty amount for each day of violation.” A hearing on the controversy in the State Senate Environment and Energy Committee on December 21, 2015, resulted in a letter signed by Senators Bob Smith (D17), Linda Greenstein (D-14), and Christopher “Kip” Bateman (R-16), requesting that the state DEP issue a stay on the Institute’s construction project “to prevent irreparable harm to the historic site where the Battle of Princeton occurred as well as damage to the existing wetlands.” The IAS and the DEP were not represented at the hearing. “We were not informed of the hearing by legislative officials and were not asked to attend.” IAS director Robbert Dijkgraaf stated in a letter last Thursday to Institute trustees, faculty, staff, and friends.

Immigrant Community to Hear of Risks and Rights

In response to recent U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the nation, an information session will take place in the Community Room at St. Paul’s Church at 7 p.m. Thursday. Sponsored by Princeton Human Services, Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF), and Unidad Latina en Accion NJ (ULA), the workshop will cover the following topics: who is at risk of being deported? what to do during a raid? your rights in this country, and organizations that can assist you in the event of a raid. An immigration lawyer will be present to answer general questions, and Human Services will provide additional helpful information and resources to residents who may be fearful about how to respond if ICE agents come to their home. For example, ICE agents must show a court order signed by a judge to enter someone’s home. Otherwise the resident is not obligated to open the door. In a January 4 statement, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh C. Johnson announced that ICE over the previous weekend had “engaged in concerted, nationwide enforcement operations to take into custody and return at

a greater rate adults who entered this country illegally with children.” The focus of the recent operations, primarily in Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina, where 121 individuals were apprehended and are being held in federal detention centers before being deported to their home countries in Central America, “were adults and their children who 1) were apprehended after May 1, 2014 crossing the southern border illegally, 2) have been issued final orders of removal by an immigration court, and 3) have ex-

hausted appropriate legal remedies, and have no outstanding appeal or claim for asylum or other humanitarian relief under our laws.” “Our borders are not open to illegal migration,” Mr. Johnson said. “If you come here illegally, we will send you back consistent with our laws and values.” Elisa Neira, executive director of Human Services in Princeton, expressed concern over the recent ICE actions and their effects on local immigrants, “We want our Continued on Page 10

Howard Speaks Out on Gun Control, Backs Strong Measures to Counter Violence Aurora, Newtown, Fort Hood, Charleston, San Bernardino, and so many other place names resonate with the shock waves of gun violence in America. “We are the only advanced country on earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency,” President Barack Obama stated last week from his podium in the East Room of the White House. “It doesn’t happen in other countries. It’s not even close.” As Mr. Obama pressed new executive

actions to reduce gun violence, and presidential candidates debated gun control issues, Princeton Council member Heather Howard, director of the State Health Assistance Network and lecturer in public affairs at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, saw the epidemic of gun violence as a public health issue, with the “need for a multifaceted response.” “I’m glad he took those steps,” Ms. Continued on Page 2

Gun Control continued from page one

Howard said, in reference to Mr. Obama’s call for tightening background checks, making communities safer through stronger enforcement, increasing mental health treatment and reporting to the background check system, and enhancing gun safety technology. “I wish he could take bigger steps, but the president’s relentless focus on this issue is encouraging. It’s exciting to see him say ‘Enough is enough. This is unacceptable.’ These are very important steps.” Ms. Howard said she is also “heartened by the fact that the Democratic candidates are speaking out on the need for more gun control. Gun control will definitely be an issue in the presidential election. We’ll be having that debate.” Ms. Howard emphasized that although incidents of mass violence get extensive media coverage, they are only part of the picture. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),” she said, “there were 11,200 firearm homicides in 2013, and almost 21,000 firearm suicides. We have a complicated relationship with guns; no other country has such high rates of gun ownership, and no other country has such high rates of gun violence. Quite simply, research has found that where there are more guns, there are more homicides, suicides and accidents involving guns.” Focusing on gun violence as a public health issue, rather than an issue of individual rights, Ms. Howard suggested, could “change the conversation” and bring the nation to

address the “collective harm and prevention.” She declared that “public health successes in addressing other harms offer promise,” and compared guns to cars as health hazards. “Deploying various public health tools has helped dramatically reduce motor-vehicle-related fatalities,” she said. “Making the product safer through car and road design, making the user safer through education and enforcement, developing safety standards, and adopting new laws (e.g. driving under the influence, graduated licenses requiring three stages of driving instruction) have resulted in a decline of more than 75 percent in motor vehicle crash deaths.” The country could effectively combat gun violence through the use of similar methods, she said. “We could make

the product safer (smart gun technology), make users safer (training and licensing), enact safety standards, and limit access for certain users.” “Gun deaths are now poised to surpass automobile deaths,” she added, “a sign both of the progress we’ve made on motor vehicle safety but also the need for action on gun violence.” Also responding positively to Mr. Obama’s initiatives was Princeton-based Ceasefire NJ , New Jersey’s oldest and largest gun violence prevention group. “We applaud President Obama for taking concrete action to reduce the epidemic of gun violence in America,” said Reverend Robert Moore, executive director of the Coalition for Peace Action, of which Ceasefire NJ is a project.

Ms. Howard spoke optimistically of the potential for local action to help advance the national discussion on gun control. She cited how in New Jersey there are strong gun control laws, “but guns come in from other states with weaker laws.” “Princeton has a role to play,” she said. Locally we have taken a stand in joining Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and there may be more we can do.” In a course she teaches at Princeton on state and local health policy, Ms. Howard said, she makes the case for the power of innovation at the local level. “A lot of innovation bubbles up from the state and local level and influences the national debate.” —Donald Gilpin

and their management may have depressing side effects. Medications can affect mood, particularly when mixed with alcohol or other drugs. Disruptions in sleep patterns can affect mood and ability to cope. Worries about finances or the future have a strong effect as well.” Regarding SAD, Ms. Hoskins notes that less social interaction in winter can add to the problem. “People need social exposure and companionship. They don’t go outside as much in the winter, especially older people. Weather conditions are a factor. Social isolation is one of the biggest risk factors for older people. I’m very concerned about cultural and social isolation. After the holidays are over, the family is gone, the party’s over and there can definitely be a sense of isolation. Older people often live alone. We see more people impacted by SAD in the winter.” Some things people must do, she adds. “They need to get to doctor’s appointments, grocer y shopping ,etc. But others are optional — seeing a movie, lunch with a friend, visits, etc. All of these are more difficult in bad weather conditions. Even going out for a 15-minute walk can be hard in the winter, so people are not getting outside, which has more impact on their symptoms.” PSRC has had seminars on SAD in the past, and the center has numerous programs to combat the social isolation people with SAD often experience. Social Component “PSRC has many programs that can alleviate depression,” emphasizes Ms. Hoskins. “Every activity has a strong social component. ‘Let’s Talk’ and support groups are designed to build connections. There are many exercise classes to get you moving, and other classes to engage your mind.” The range of oppor tunities is truly amazing. From Bridge, Scrabble, and Mah Jongg to table tennis, Ted Talk, and technology; from computer labs to art classes and memoir writing to aerobics and yoga to “Lunch and Learn”, movies, opera, and courses on every conceivable subject. There is really something for everyone’s taste and inclination. In addition, PSRC’s staff includes advisors and care counselors who can help people with suggestions and solutions, and direct them to support groups and other resources, if needed. When people can’t get out, PSRC’s HomeFriends program provides companions to spend time with older people who are alone. Dr. Barile agrees with the importance of social interaction and getting outside the home for seniors. “Older adults are more at risk with SAD because they are less mobile, and may be confined indoors, reducing their exposure to sunlight. It is important for caregivers and others who are involved with older people to help get them out • of the house and into the sun as much as possible.” • Dr. Barile plans a series of complimentary onehour “night school” classes at the Princeton Care Center for caregivers and decision-makers, to be Hourly support • held February 4th •and 18th or andlive-in March 3rd and 17th at 7 p.m. • Companion personal Subjects will include improvingand medical decision-making for the older adult; managing medicare services • cations; recognizing different types of dementia; and finding resources to help with caregiving at the right level of care of the patient’s needs.

“The Institute received two unanimous affirmative Princeton Planning Board approvals, even after four years of persistent challenges by the opposition,” Mr. Dijkgraaf continued. “The two applications spanned six public hearings with extensive expert testimony refuting the opponents’ claims. The Planning Board’s decisions, challenged by the Battlefield Society, resulted in two trial court decisions over whelmingly affirm ing the Institute’s right to build. Both the Appellate Division and the New Jersey Supreme Court refused to stay those decisions any further. The Institute holds valid required NJDEP approvals, the propriety of which has been reaffirmed by five site visits, the most recent of which took place in mid-December at Senator Bateman’s request.” The DEP met with Battlefield Society members and visited the site last week. According to DEP press director Bob Considine, they have been reviewing the case and the available information in the context of the senate committee’s request and “will be getting back to interested parties before the end of this week.” The IAS has moved forward on ground clearing, with truckloads of sand being delivered to the property, but construction of the eight townhouses and seven single-family houses on the parcel of approximately seven acres has not begun. Working with the Battlefield Society, the Civil War Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preservation of the nation’s battlefields, has made offers to buy the land in question, but has been turned down. Mr. Dijkgraaf, claiming a “refusal to engage” on the part of the PBS cited the Institute’s’ “sensitivity to preservation … evident in the project we are about to construct.” —Donald Gilpin

Question of the Week:

“What is your opinion on gun control in this country?”

“Bottom line for me, take the guns away from the people that should not have them by increased background checks and fingerprints at the time of purchase. Those that are sitting in the gun shows need to be licensed or they should not be there. And education on the weapon because actually it’s not the weapon that kills, it’s the person behind the weapon that kills.” —Manny Diaz, Fairless Hills, Pa.

“I think we need much tighter regulations on the circulation and ownership of guns.” —Melissa Deem, Princeton

“There could be more stringent legislation, particularly in the inner cities; it could be different mechanisms by which they could control all types of violence. Gun control is definitely a problem in certain areas. Law abiding citizens, I think should be able to apply for and carry weapons if they qualify. I do think gun control should be more closely monitored.” —Charles Arrington, Bensalem, Pa.

“Badly needed.”

—Anne Piehl, Montgomery

WET PAPER IN THE DRIVEWAY? Sorry. It Happens, even with a plastic bag. We can’t control the weather, but we can offer you a free, fresh and dry replacement paper if you stop by our office at 4438 Route 27 North in Kingston.

“I feel that although I lean more to the left, people that live a lifestyle where guns are needed for hunting and are an integral part of their life — I can understand where they are coming from and why taking guns away would be a detriment. I feel like regulating guns would be good.” —Dan Lee, Princeton

Farmstead was completed, a plan was developed to make the more rural setting the HSP’s permanent location. The project has finally come to fruition. After being closed for a few months, the HSP has reopened at the farm with new exhibits inside and an ambitious plan for the green acreage that surrounds it. A new multimedia exhibit, “The Einstein Salon” with the scientist’s own furniture from his Mercer Street home, and an information-packed display about mathematician John von Neumann including components from the original MANIAC computer, are among the items of interest.

TOPICS Of the Town “Bainbridge House was a great location, and Princeton University, which owns the building, was always so nice to us,” said Eve Mandel, director of programs and visitor services. “But here, we own the site. The resources are all here. We can really throw ourselves into planning and utilizing this beautiful landscape, which is so historic in its own right.” Listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places, Updike Farmstead is on land that was once called Stony Brook, lying along the route that George Washington and his troops followed on their way to engage British soldiers at the neighboring Clarke farm. Benjamin Clarke owned 1,200 acres, which was divided into smaller parcels and remained in the family for several generations. George Furman Updike purchased nearly 200 acres in 1892 for his farm. The Updike family sold 184 of those acres to the neighboring Institute for Advanced Study in 1969 on the condition that it be used as farmland. Stanley and Sarah Updike, who were brother and sister, lived on the remaining six acres until both died in 2002. The HSP purchased the farm from a descendant of the family. After renovating the property with the help of a grant from the New Jersey Historic Trust, the HSP opened the site in 2011. Operations were divided between the Bainbridge House location until this month, when everything was finally consolidated. The University plans

to turn Bainbridge House, which served until 1967 as headquarters for the Princeton Public Library, into a cultural and visitors center. Ms. Mandel is par ticularly fond of “Mary Watts’ Store,” one of two paintings by Princeton artist Rex Goreleigh in the HSP’s collection. The painting hangs in the museum’s front entrance next to a photo collage by John Emerick of the general store, that for many years was a fixture on Route 206 near Cher r y Valley Road. “Anyone who lived in Princeton up until the store was torn down in 1986 will recognize it,” she said. “I’m especially glad that we can exhibit the painting and the collage together.” Continued on Next Page

Mr. von Neumann is the first subject for the Innovators Gallery, a rotating display about Princeton’s creative minds. The HSP worked with the archivist from the Institute for Advanced St udy to obtain the pieces of the original MANIAC computer — the first programmable, stored memory computing device — and the mathematician’s daughter loaned his Medal of Freedom and a selection of photographs. The Princeton Innovators Portrait Wall spotlights architect Michael Graves, literary figure Sylvia Beach, engineer Canvass White, entrepreneur Christine Moore Howell, sur vey sampling pioneer George Gallup, and astrophysicist John Norris Bahcall. The “Princeton’s

Portrait” across the hall is a photograph exhibit of early 20th century rural life in Princeton. In addition, there is a group of photos of Updike Farmstead taken by the Princeton Photography Club in 2012. The Historical Society is continuing its walking tours of dow ntow n Pr inceton. They will be given virtually this month and next. The regular tours will resume in March starting, as usual, outside Bainbridge House. Future plans for the Updike site include completing the renovation of the barn. A new roof and foundation are already in place, thanks to Baxter Construction. “They painstakingly removed all of the original stones, poured a foundation, and then replaced the stones,” said Ms. Mandel. The longterm goal is to put up a new building to house the HSP’s collec-

A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN: Princeton Friends School recently announced that it had raised $5.5 million for its facilities and endowment. More than 150 people including graduates, parents, trustees, teachers, donors, and friends of the school attended a thank-you party, including philanthropist Betty Wold Johnson, shown at right with Head of School Jane Fremon. Mrs. Johnson contributed a gift of more than $1 million and said she supports the school because it “really teaches children to think for themselves.” The school was founded in 1987 on Princeton’s Quaker Meeting grounds to bring Friends education to the greater Princeton area.

Evergreen Forum’s Spring 2016 courses range from the timely (“Presidential Powers in Times of Crisis”) to the timeless ( “Dante Alighieri”). They explore more recent trends (“Sounds of the 1950s”) and historic movements (the vocal music of “Classical Masters”). There are villains (Richard III) and dangerous women (“Mixed Messages: Hollywood’s Femmes Fatales and Feminism”). A new course this spring, “Black Slavery in the United States” will look at the escalation of the southern states’ drive to expand slavery and Northern States’ resistance to it in the decades preceding the Civil War. Registration is now underway for these and other Spring Evergreen Forum courses presented under the auspices of the Princeton Senior Resource Center. Classes meet once a week for four to eight weeks, beginning on February 29. Participants may register online by mail, or in person at PSRC. Now into its second decade, Evergreen Forum, an affiliate of the Road Scholar network, is made up entirely of volunteers who provide daytime study and discussion programs for adults. It encourages active participation for those who enjoy learning for its own sake. Course leaders are professionals from many fields who volunteer to share their expertise and enthusiasm for their subjects. Instructors this semester include Princeton University Professor Stanley Katz (“America in the 1980’s”); author Betty Lies (“Hemingway and Fitzgerald” ); Rutgers Professor of Religion Emeritus Henry Warner Bowden (“Misfits: Heretics or Trendsetters”), and Harold Feiveson, co-director of the Princeton University Program on Science and Global Security (“Scientists against Time: The Role of Scientists in World War II”). Applications may be submitted at any time up until January 31. To ensure that everyone who applies has an equal chance of being admitted to a class, there will be a lottery for oversubscribed classes on February 1. Applicants are encouraged to designate 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices of classes on their registration forms, so if their first choice classes are oversubscribed they will have an opportunity to be chosen for other classes. The course fee is $75. Most Evergreen For um courses have traditionally taken place in the Suzanne Patterson Building or at Monument Hall, 45 Stockton Street. The growing number of course offerings, though, means that additional locations will be used. Students w ill be notified of each class’s location.

Princeton Council voted at its Monday, January 11 meeting to introduce a bond ordinance that would allow the acquisition of a 20.4acre parcel of vacant land between Mt. Lucas Road and Route 206. The purchase, which Mayor Liz Lempert called “a very important environmental piece,” would be financed by a $4.4 million deal that would be mostly paid for by Mercer County, the Friends of Princeton Open Space, and the Williams/Transco company. The parcel, which is owned by Princeton Land Development, would add to the size of the Princeton Ridge Preserve. Mercer County would provide a $2.2 million grant for the purchase. Friends of Princeton Open Space would give $100,000, Williams/Transco would pay $153,000, and New Jersey’s Green Acres grant program would cover the rest. “We’re hoping to purchase it with little or no municipal funding,” the town’s administrator Marc Dashield said. The developer had proposed building townhouses at the site, but the bond would allow the property to be preserved. “I can’t stress enough what a great acquisition this is on behalf of the town and our future for the environment,” Ms. Lempert said earlier in the day. A public hearing on the ordinance is planned for the January 25 meeting of Council. Property on the Ridge A work session at the Council meeting was focused on a second parcel that is one of the last pieces of undeveloped land in Princeton. Called the Lanwin Development, the 90-acre tract near Herrontown and Mt. Lucas roads is owned by Bryce Thompson.

TOWN TOPICS is printed entirely on recycled paper.

Originally requesting a 20lot subdivision for the mostly wooded site, the developer is now seeking a rezoning that would allow for a cluster of 30 homes. As part of the deal, there would be nearly 50.7 acres of open space and three acres dedicated to affordable housing. Some neighbors of the site voiced concerns about the request, citing runoff problems, steep topography, and the location of the proposed buffer zone. One resident said he would love to see a mixed use or recreation park at the site, and recommended that the current zoning be maintained. Wendy Mager, president of the Friends of Princeton Open Space, said the organization supports the concept of a cluster. “It would avoid the entire tract being disturbed during development,” she said, adding that preserving the entire site is unrealistic. Jim Waltman, executive director of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, also supported the cluster concept, advocating for an even tighter group of smaller lots. Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller said the rezoning was a good idea, but cautioned that the municipality make sure the three-acre affordable housing site is buildable. Councilman Bernie Miller voiced concerns about the proposed buffer zone. Council agreed to send the idea to the Planning Board for further investigation. Campaign Contributions On Tuesday, Mayor Lemper t said she w ill lim it contributions to her 2016 re-election campaign. Individual donations will be capped at $300, and $600 per couple, which is less than the state’s limit of $2,600 per individual and $5,200 per couple. She also said she will be rolling over less than $3,000 from her 2012 campaign account.

Because the state regulates campaign donations for all elections save for those at a national level, municipal governments cannot further restrict contribution limits for local candidates. Putting a voluntary cap on donations “is the next best thing,” Ms. Lempert said in a press release. “I want to run a campaign that reflects true democratic principles — with a small ‘d.’ I would prefer to receive smaller donations from many people of all walks of life rather than large donations from just a handful.” —Anne Levin

Land Issues Are Paramount At Recent Council Meeting

Solitary Confinement Cell on View Is Part of Trinity’s MLK Tributes After the mass shooting at Emmanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C. last June, a group of par ishioners from Trinity Church began to meet regularly to explore the history and meaning of white supremacy. Those discussions led to another eight weeks of study, this time on the roots of white supremacy in the history and theology of Christianity. Now, those parishioners, led by Associate Rector Nancy J. Hagner, have decided it is time to do more than talk. Beginning Saturday, January 16, in commemoration of Martin Luther King’s birthday, a weekend-long prayer vigil will be held. The focus is on the issue of mass incarceration and solitary confinement. To bring that reality home, a replica of a solitary confinement cell will be on display, courtesy of the Trenton/Princeton chapters of the Campaign to End the New Jim Crow “Out the Box” initiative. The cell, which sill be on view throughout the weekend in the Pierce-Bishop Hall at the church, includes a recording of the actual sounds a prisoner in such a cell might hear. “It’s very loud,” said Matthew Burdette, one of the parishioners and a graduate student doing work about racial issues. “The cell has been traveling around to different places as part of an initiative to expose the abuses of solitary confinement. It’s exactly like a solitary space in a prison.” “Our prison population

is completely hidden from sight,” said Mr. Burdette. “We as a society incarcerate more people than any other place in the world — 80,000 right now, including adolescents. It is a human rights abuse, to put it plainly. The more people who know about this, the more this can change.” The talks among Trinity’s parishioners began last summer. Ms. Hagner had been preaching, on occasion, about events in the news. And since the 2012 shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida, race was a frequent topic. “Her preaching about this finally gave way to a more programmatic decision, as a church, to deal with the subject,” Mr. Burdette said. “We embarked on what was initially an experiment, to spend eight weeks over the summer holding discussions.” A healthy turnout encouraged the group to continue their discussions. “We talked through the history of race and racism,” Mr. Burdette said. “As a church, it’s kind of a particular sore spot because Christianity has had a principal role in creating white supremacy throughout the west. We acknowledged that. We talked a lot about the history of anti-racism, which most people don’t know about.” Another eight weeks in the fall focused on the prison system, and the Martin Luther King commemoration seemed an ideal time to do so. The weekend events begin on Friday at 6 :30

p.m. at Trinity’s One Table Cafe, where a speaker from Princeton’s Petey Greene program, which provides tutoring to those in prison, will talk about those efforts. At 4 p.m. on Saturday, “Our Children, Our Prisons,” a lecture by Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy, will be screened. Following at 5 p.m. a recital by Cellists Chime in for Change, with remarks by Centurion Ministries Director Kate Germond, will be held. The church will remain open for access to the solitary confinement cell after those events. The vigil continues Sunday at Trinity’s worship services, where Rev. Laura MarkleDownton, director of U.S. Prisons Policy for the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT), will be the speaker. At 10 a.m., solitary confinement survivor Terrell A. Blount will lead a discussion about his exper ience and how community members can address problems in the prison system. A 5 p.m. worship service concludes the events. “We made a commitment back in the summer to educate ourselves and engage a conversation around the issues of race and mass incarceration and injustice, in general, in our society,” said Ms. Hagner. “In our society, there is a feeling that the church has a special and unique role in addressing these issues. It’s not just what you do in the community. As a church, we have a

residents to be educated, to have access to competent immigration attorneys and nonprofit agencies, to have their documents and records in a safe place and not to fe ar s e ek i ng as s is t a n ce from local police, schools and other agencies, when needed. We would like them to continue to live their lives and go on with their normal routines.” U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) denounced the raids last week, stating, “These raids illustrate the many painful aspects of a system that has failed, including harsh tactics facing undocumented mothers and children whose only mistake was to escape a certain death in their native countries. The Northern Triangle nations of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala have the highest murder rates in the world. We must recognize that these families are fleeing escalating violence and address the root causes of this humanitarian crisis.” Mr. Menendez’s statement went on to criticize “the climate of intolerance and misplaced fear promoted by Republicans,” the frequency of “erroneous targeting, detention, or deportation,” and “deep concerns of the chilling effect these home raids will have among immigrant communities who will understandably be terrified and deterred from approaching law enforcement to report crimes and forced further into the shadows.” Last Thursday immigration activists gathered in Newark in front of the Rodino Federal Building that houses U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to protest ICE raids and further planned enforcement operations. There have been reports, denied by ICE, of recent raids and arrests in Freehold and New Brunswick. “We are not aware of any raids in Mercer County,” Ms. Neira stated, “but there is a lot of confusion, which is why it’s so important to communicate to the public about their rights and how they can prepare.”

“These recent ICE operations are unfortunate,” stated Princeton Councilwoman Heat her Howard. “T hey damage the work that communities like Princeton are doing to build inclusive and welcoming relationships that foster trust and cooperation between immigrants, police and local government.” Police Chief Nick Sutter added that “the Princeton Police Department is committed to protecting all members of the community, without regard to immigration status or nationality, and we want to emphasize that local law enforcement does not enforce federal immigration laws.” The local Human Services office stated that it is a resource for residents to ask questions, and, “in the event that any ICE action takes place in Princeton, those affected are encouraged to call the Human Services office for assistance at (609) 688-2055.” —Donald Gilpin

Addicted to “Humans of New York” — An Imaginary Encounter With Brandon Stanton

et’s say I’m sitting on a bench in Central Park thinking about longago weekend afternoons playing catch with Florence Victor, a tall, lean, motor-mouth poet with long black hair tied back in a pony tail, who stopped talking only when she was throwing the ball and did she throw it, crack! every time it hit my mitt. Being truly, proudly, deeply neurotic, she was usually talking about her various ailments and anxieties, which tended to be interchangeable with her poetry. So as I’m sitting there smiling, remembering how Florence and I sometimes kept the ball flying between us until twilight and beyond, along comes this tall guy in a hoodie with a baseball cap worn backwards and a camera in his hand, asking if he can take my picture. Ordinarily I’d say “no thanks” and find another bench, but since this is an imaginary encounter I know right away that this guy is Brandon Stanton whose book Humans of New York: Stories has been my constant companion, along with the fiction of Chekhov, ever since the new year began. In fact, the more I read the two together, the more I realize how many subtle unexpected things the humans of New York have in common with the humans of late 19th-century Russia. Before he can get started, I explain that his book was a party gift from a friend at work. “It’s addictive,” I tell him. “It lights me up every time I look inside.” “Thanks,” he says, rushing it a bit, he’s used to hearing how great his stuff is. “So where do you work? At a newspaper?” He’s noticed my reporter’s notebook and he’s trying to get a better look at the paperback under it. The Human Face Afraid that he might be put off by the idea, I briefly say what I do and get right back to Humans of New York. “Every time I look at the faces in your book,” I tell him, “it makes me think of a line from a song I love. It’s by Procol Harum, a rock group you probably haven’t heard of.” “Before my time I guess.” I find out later he was born in Georgia in 1984, 17 years after “A Whiter Shade of Pale” topped the charts. He asks me what the line is; he has his note pad ready. “The song’s called ‘Your Own Choice’ and the line is ‘the human face is a terrible place,’ only the way Gary Brooker belts it out, it means ‘terrible’ as in ‘amazing, phenomenal, unknowable.’ It’s a very upbeat song, sort of a pub anthem, even though it ends with the singer drowning, ‘rest in peace.’” “Awesome! What’s the music like? Can you sing it for me?” He crouches down on the sidewalk, ready to take my picture singing. Oh boy. “Whoa, hey, no, I’m not, I mean ….” But the funny thing is, I feel totally at

ease. I even find myself wanting to sing. It’s a very infectious song. So I sing, not too badly, the whole middle verse (people are staring), with “Choose your own example” coming after the “human face terrible place” line. When he shows me how I look in the picture, all I can say is it’s a good thing this is a fantasy. The Ultimate Human of New York Having given me a big smile and some polite applause (he has huge hands), he pushes on: “You were smiling when I first noticed you. Do you mind me asking how come?” So I tell him about Florence, how we both worked for the same publisher until she got fired for coming into my office (and everybody else’s) all the time to talk. I tell him how we played pitch and catch in the park, how good a pitcher she was, and how in her little rent-controlled apar tment a block from the park on Madison Avenue every space was covered w it h p o e t r y s h e’ d either pencilled in or typed and taped on the wall. “Do you remember any of her poems?” “Not really, but she was good, really good. She wrote a poem about being in a dentist’s office when Kennedy was assassinated. I think it’s in some anthology. But what a talker she was. You’d have lost an hour hearing her out. She’d have taken over the book. She was great, really. The ultimate Human of New York. She died years ago. I didn’t even know. We’d lost touch.” “Sorry I’ll never get a chance to meet her. Was this a romance? What did she look like?” “No romance, just a nice friendship. There are friends like her and me in your book. You can tell. People who complement each other. The pitch and catch idea. But I never ever thought of her romantically. She was an emotional no-fly zone, if you know what I mean. She bared her soul. That was more than enough. As for looks, she was, well, imposing. Very New York. Intense. Bright. Feverish. People were always mistaking her for Susan Sontag. There are several versions of

Florence in your book. The one who calls herself a spiritual healer, the one who says her therapy seems to be going well. The closest may be the girl in glasses who asks you ‘Should I do my dinosaur face?’ and you say yes and she does it.” “Yeah, she was great.” “I didn’t know it at first but she reminded me of Florence the way she looked when I first knew her, same color hair but not worn short, never, same build and taste in clothes (that jacket is a poem in itself), tall, long legs, and a willingness to perform on the spot, to be a story or a poem. She was both.” By now Brandon is ready to move on, but not quite. “What’s with the book?” he finally asks. He’s been eyeing it the whole time. He means my paperback of Baudelaire’s essays on art, T he Pa inte r of Modern Life. I have to smile. “That’s what you are, isn’t it?” I say. “Sort of.” “Me? But the guy on the c ove r ! W h at a face ! Now that’s my idea of a ter r ible place!” “Nobody smiles in those e arly photo graphs. T his is from around 1862. He died five years later.” “That look! What a glare! I don’t know what words I could put to that one. ‘Hey, you just stole my soul, now you’re gonna pay!’ “ After a brief summing up of Baudelaire and Flowers of Evil, I tell him “This was going to be my subject for this week. There’s a show On Daumier’s caricatures at the Zimmerli museum in New Brunswick — .” “So you’re an art critic!” “No, I’m not a critic. I’m an anti-critic, sort of. I mostly write about things, books, music, films, that move me. Which is what happened this week. I kept putting the review aside to dive into Humans of New York. Really. The thing is, Daumier’s doing a kind of brutally satirical version of what you do, using a pen instead of a camera. And nobody writes about Daumier better than Baudelaire. To be honest, I wasn’t going to bring you into the review until your book changed everything. If you’ve got a minute, let me read you this

bit.” I open the book: I’ve got the place marked. “This is Baudelaire on Daumier, from an essay about French caricaturists: ‘I want to speak about a man who each morning keeps the population of our city amused, a man who supplies the daily needs of public gaiety and provides its sustenance. The bourgeois, the businessman, the urchin and the housewife all laugh and pass on their way, as often as not without even glancing at his name. Until now his fellow-artists have been alone in understanding all the serious qualities in his work, and in recognizing that it is really the proper subject for a study.’ See what I mean? Of course the great thing about your people is they’re so far from being caricatures. Humans, like the title says. I’ve been reading a lot of Chekhov lately and he’d relate to what you’re doing. And as a writer, one of the best ever, he’d admire the way you know how to choose exactly the right words for each picture.” “People give me the right words. I just have to be patient.” “But like the song says, it’s ‘Your Own Choice.’ Like the photo of the middleaged married couple all dressed up for some cultural event. You probably had a bunch of quotes from them both, but out of all that you picked one sentence, what the husband says about the wife, ‘She still gets giddy when she sees a firefly.’ That’s beautiful. There’s a Chekhov story in that.” ——— As of December 2015, Brandon Stanton had 16.2 million likes on Facebook, around 4.4 milion followers on Instagram. Humans of New York (2013) enjoyed a long run on N.Y. Times Non-Fiction Best Seller List, and Humans of New York: Stories, which was released in October 2015, remains near the top of the list. Both books are published by St. Martin’s Press. David Bowie riving to work Monday, I gave Schubert’s last piano sonata a rest and, thinking of David Bowie, went to 88.5 FM in time to hear one of the most unlikely duets ever recorded, Bowie and Bing Crosby singing “Little Drummer Boy” only months before Crosby’s death in October 1977. Since my copy of Hunky Dory is long gone and all the Bowie CDs at the library were checked out and going fast at the Record Exchange, I had to go online to find one of the great records of the 1970s. Listen to “Life On Mars,” “Oh You Pretty Things,” “Kooks,” “The Bewlay Brothers” (with that mysterious “I might just slip away” fadeout ending), and most of all, listen to Bowie tell his story, putting life and death together in “Quicksand,” its closing words, “knowledge comes with death’s release.” —Stuart Mitchner

Mailbox Historic Status for W-J Neighborhood Ensures That Town’s History Is Unedited and Complete

To the Editor: The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has recommended that the Witherspoon/Jackson neighborhood be designated and formed as an historic district, the 20th in the town of Princeton. The Wise report clearly underscores that the unfair and discriminatory circumstances in Princeton’s past actually created the neighborhood, but the pending decision is really not about reparations (40 acres and a mule), a public apology, or even paying off a long term debt. The decision to designate Witherspoon/Jackson an Historic District is appropriate because it is one of the first neighborhoods in one of our country’s most historic towns; it represents the immigrant makeup of the American blueprint, it’s maintained its streetscape to a large degree for over 200 years, and its people, past and present, are key contributors to the town’s rich history and historical infrastructure. There will certainly be opposition to its historic designation. In all likelihood it will come from those interested in development, or more recent purchasers of homes, who whether they admit it or not, did so because of the neighborhood’s affordability, warmth, rich history, cultural and ethnic diversity. These characteristics are all reasons why the neighborhood is being considered for this historic honor. Simply stated, Princeton would not be Princeton without the many facets of entrepreneurial, social, religious, economic and cultural investments, and sacrifices made by people who built and lived in the neighborhood. There are those who suggest that simply identifying designated structures with accompanying museum, pictures, signage, and artifacts would be a more appropriate way to distinguish the neighborhood’s significance. However the Wise Report clearly indicates that it is the neighborhood that illuminates several key contributing structures like the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, Paul Robeson’s home, and Dorothea’s House … not that these structures individually or collectively are responsible for making the neighborhood historic. In addition the HPC voted unanimously to accept the recommendations of the Wise Report, which acknowledges that “streetscape” includes the visual elements of a street, including the porches, road, adjoining buildings, street furniture, trees, and open space that combine to form the street’s character. Mayor and council should not allow the contents of the Wise Report to be manipulated. It should be read carefully and considered on its merits. Lastly I believe the most compelling reason to make the Witherspoon/Jackson neighborhood the 20th historic

district in our town is because it is deserving on so many fronts … it is the “right and the moral thing to do.” Furthermore it should be approved without any guidelines beyond what already exist in the Historic Preservation Ordinance, as no other historic district in Princeton is beset with stipulations. The council will have the opportunity to create what I believe will be a healing; one of the most meaningful, wide ranging, and far reaching decisions ever to come before the presiding body. This responsibility requires that voices on both sides be heard; however the voices that cannot be heard are the African, Italian, and Irish American voices that created a living legacy through their everyday lives, giving little if any thought to their pioneering venture, and who have now taken their rest. I and others speak for them and it is my hope that mayor and Council through our advocacy hear their voices. The right decision will say to their living relatives, the town’s constituents, visitors, and others that Princeton is a town of inclusion, one that recognizes the significance and importance of all people, regardless of race, creed, or color. It will ensure that our town’s compelling history is unedited and complete. LEIgHTOn nEWLIn Birch Avenue

Secure Choice Savings Bill Backed by AARP Is On Its Way to Governor Christie’s Desk

To the Editor: Too many people aren’t saving enough to adequately fund their own retirement. Only five percent of people who lack a workplace savings plan actually figure out what they need to do and set up a plan on their own. If nothing is done, the staggering number of people retiring into poverty in the coming years will greatly increase the cost of government assistance programs and the burden on taxpayers. So waiting and watching is not a good option. Fortunately a bi-partisan group of new Jersey legislators are acting now. The Secure Choice Savings Program, a bill supported by AARP and on its way to governor Christie’s desk, is a simple solution: Make it easy for working people to save their own money for retirement by establishing a pooled system of Individual Retirement Accounts. Make it easy for employers — the vast majority of whom want to offer a retirement plan — by relieving them of the time, cost, and the liability of setting up their own plan. Secure Choice costs taxpayers nothing. Retirement plans will be administered by professional, private sector financial services firms. Let’s get this done and create a better future for everyone.

Thankful for the Respite From Leaf Blowers, Wants Regulations Against Indiscriminate Use

To the Editor: I understand there has been much debate in our community over the use of leaf blowers. now, in the quiet of the winter season, I imagine those voices from the community are not quite so loud, given the respite we have from all that noise during the warmer months. However, I am reminded every day when I walk through our Riverside neighborhood, what a luxurious quiet there is to enjoy without the incessant noise of those leaf blowers. Why can’t we enjoy this peace and quiet at other times of the year? There should be regulations against indiscriminate use of leaf blowers — particularly unmuffled gas blowers used on an unremitting schedule even when there are few leaves to be blown.

To stand on a mountaintop and look as far as the eye can see without encountering any mark of human intervention remains an exhilarating experience for him.

Harrowing Tale Describes Legendary Explorer’s Grueling Ordeal

ugh Glass (1780-1833) was a legendary frontiersman who explored the American West in the early 19th century. His life has been previously portrayed in films by Richard Harris in Man in the Wilderness (1971) and Dewitt Lee in Apache Blood (1975). Glass’s life story has also been the subject of several books, most recently The Revenant, a story of survival published by Michael Punke in 2002. The bestselling book has been adapted by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who won three Academy Awards for writing, directing, and producing Birdman, 2015’s Best Picture of the Year. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio who might finally land the Oscar that has eluded his grasp five times. The movie features him in virtually every scene, and his acting never disappoints. He delivers a compelling performance that keeps you on the edge of your seat as you pull for his character from beginning to end. At the point of departure we are introduced to Hugh (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his Pawnee son, Hawk (Forrest Goodluck), who are guiding a hunting party of fur trap-

pers across the Rockies. Along the way, the expedition is tested at every turn by “Injun” ambushes, animal attacks, frigid weather, and the challenging terrain. Unfortunately John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), a member of the party, is a racist who murders Hawk and leaves his badly wounded father behind to die in the forest. However, instead of perishing, Hugh wills himself to survive, in order to track down his son’s killer. What ensues is a visually captivating movie portraying Hugh’s determination to exact revenge for the murder of his son. Despite the hurdles he encounters, Hugh remains resolute as he stalks Fitzgerald across the Wyoming wilderness. Credit co-star Tom Hardy for portraying the villain Fitzgerald in a manner that the audience loves to see get his due. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for profanity, graphic violence, gory images, ethnic slurs, brief nudity, and a rape. In English, French, and Native American dialects with subtitles. Running time: 156 minutes. Distributor: 20th Century Fox. —Kam Williams

I’LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO AVENGE MY SON’S DEATH: Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) huddles around a fire to keep warm and stay alive. He and his Pawnee son Hawk were ambushed and left for dead by John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy, not shown), merely because Fitzgerald hated Indians. Hugh, by sheer force of will, survived the ambush and resolved to track down his son’s assassin and avenge his senseless murder.

Producing Dramatic Comeback From 11-Point Deficit, PU Men’s Hoops Edges Penn in OT to Start Ivy Play

he photo of Mitch Henderson leaping for joy after he helped the Princeton University men’s basketball team stun defending national champion UCLA in the first round of the 1996 NCAA tournament is one of the iconic images in program history. Last Saturday at Penn, Henderson ’98, now the head coach at his alma mater, exhibited a similar outburst of emotion after the Tigers rallied from a late 11-point deficit to pull out an improbable 73-71 overtime win against the Quakers in the Ivy League opener for both teams. As the buzzer sounded, Henderson hopped up and down on the court at the venerable Palestra in Philadelphia, celebrating in the middle of his players, screaming for joy and pumping his fists. Afterward, a raspy-voiced Henderson explained his emotions. “We were on our way out the door if one of those shots goes down,” said Henderson, whose team trailed 64-53 with 3:38 remaining in regulation with the crowd of 5,029 in an uproar. “I haven’t been in this too long, close to 20 years, and you don’t get many like that where you came away with a win. I am really proud of our guys. It was an ugly, ugly win but when the buzzer went off in overtime, I was like did that just happen. I was pretty fired up.” Henderson was fired up by his team’s resolve, noting that the Tigers had come up short two seasons earlier at Penn in the Ivy opener, suffering a painful 77-74 defeat. “Two years ago we came out here and took a really difficult loss, we were 12-2 and it was a really hard loss for our program and for our guys,” said Henderson. “I don’t like to be deja vu but this is a different kind of group. They are really resilient. I think the difference is just that, they believe.”

Princeton junior forward Spencer Weisz and his teammates believed they could get it done in crunch time. “The way in which we won tonight was very important,” said Weisz, who contributed 10 points, two assists, and three rebounds in the victory as the Tigers improved to 10-4 overall and 1-0 Ivy. “In practice, we have been working on situations where we are down a few points and need to come back. I think that really showed our maturity tonight. I am just so proud of our team for being resilient and coming out with a win tonight.” Citing the loss to Penn in 2014, Weisz was thrilled to see the Tigers turn the tables on the Quakers. “Going back to my freshman year, we had such great momentum coming into the league and to lose here killed our momentum,” said Weisz. “We ended up losing our first four games in the league.” Tiger freshman guard Devin Cannady won’t soon forget his first Princeton-Penn battle. “I thought the atmosphere was great, obviously we had to fight our way back,” said Cannady. “We had to rebound, play defense. It started on the defensive end and once that happened, we could get to the line and get shots on offense.” Cannady had to take the reins of the Tiger offense when sophomore guard Amir Bell left the game with 1:13 remaining, hitting his head on a drive to prematurely end a breakout game as he tallied a career-high 28 points. “I have said this all year that our leadership with the upperclassmen has been key,” said Cannady, who ended up with 10 points, three rebounds, and four steals in 32 minutes of action. “I tried to be poised and they kept me

poised. Being a point guard, you have to be an extension of coach Henderson on the court. Amir and I have a good relationship and I knew when he went down, it was the next man up so that is what happened.” Henderson credited freshmen Cannady and Myles Stephens with manning-up down the stretch. “That is Devin, he is unafraid,” said Henderson. “That young man has got moxie. He kept taking big shots. I also want to point out Myles Stephens coming in and making two huge free throws to give us the lead (at 72-71).” The Tigers suffered a big setback in the waning moments of the contest when they lost Bell, who had hit 9-of-13 shots from the floor, including 4-of5 from three-point range, in piling up his game-high 28 points. “I thought he was terrific, we really missed him,” said Hen- COMEBACK KIDS: Princeton University men’s basketball playderson. “I want him to play like er Spencer Weisz guards a foe in a game earlier this season. that all the time in practice and Last Saturday at Penn, junior forward Weisz scored 10 points dominate practices.

PU Women’s Hoops Drops 50-48 Nail-biter at Penn, Faltering Down the Stretch in Ivy League Opener

PAINFUL EXPERIENCE: Princeton University women’s basketball player Alex Wheatley winces as she battles a foe in the paint in recent action. Last Saturday at Penn, senior forward Wheatley scored a team-high 12 points but it wasn’t enough as Princeton fell 50-48 to the Quakers in the Ivy League opener for both teams. The Tigers, now 11-4 overall and 0-1 Ivy, are on exam break and will return to action when they host Brown on January 29 and Yale on January 30. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Courtney Banghart has been urging her Princeton Universit y women’s bas ketball team to deliver the first punch against foes this season to set the tone in games. But last Saturday as Princeton played at Penn in the Ivy League opener for both teams, the Quakers hit the Tigers with an early flurry, taking a 21-15 lead at halftime and stretching the margin to 26-16 early in the third quarter. Princeton answered back with a 13-0 run to forge ahead 29-26. The Tigers led 44-41 with 4:16 left in regulation but got outscored 9-4 over the rest of the contest to fall 50-48. P r i nce ton h e ad coach Banghart is hoping that her squad didn’t suffer a knockout blow with the loss to the Quakers. “We clearly expected to play better and we didn’t and that is why they call it a game,” said Banghart, whose team is currently on exam break and doesn’t have any games until it hosts Brown on January 29 and Yale on January 30. “So we are looking forward. We know it is a 14game season and so far we are 0-1. I hope next time out we are 20 days better; otherwise it is going to be a long season.” In assessing the defeat,

B anghar t credited Penn with displaying more mental toughness down the stretch of the contest. “They had players who played with aggressive passion in the fourth quarter,” said Banghart, who got 10 points and seven rebounds from junior Vanessa Smith while senior star A nnie Ta r a k c h i a n c h i p p e d i n seven points and matched her career-high with 17 rebounds. “We were a little more timid. We thought we crossed this bridge when we played out at Dayton (rallying from a 47-32 half time deficit before falling 85-81 in the December 20 contest). We have really nice kids that are tough as nails but don’t have quite the edge that we need. It had been a work in progress all year and today they caught us on a day where we just didn’t play with enough edge from the start and that is their Achilles heel. They have to figure it out and I have to help them.” Princeton senior forward Alex Wheatley, who scored all of her team -high 12 points in the second half, was determined to be tougher after halftime. “I think being aggressive,” said Wheatley, reflecting on her second half surge which helped spark Princeton’s third quarter rally. “At halftime all of us knew we had to step up and point inward on our game to take the shots we wanted and get the right shots. I think the second half was about making a statement in that way.” After Princeton made a major statement last year, cruising to a 14-0 Ivy mark on the way to a 30-0 regular season, the Tigers know they are in for a much bumpier ride this winter. “I told them that at the end of the game that if you guys thought you were going undefeated, I have got big news for you,” said Banghart, whose team’s last Ivy defeat came when it lost 80-64 to Penn on March 11, 2014. “This is a much better league than it has been and with the back-to-back play, it is going to be a battle. We have three weekends on the road.” B anghar t believes her team is ready for the fight. “I love that battle and that is what I want every night,” said Banghart, whose team struggled offensively against Penn, shooting an anemic 28.1 percent from the floor (18-for-64). “That is what our league

should build every night. I think with this group we will win most of those but not today.” T he loss to Penn w ill prompt some soul searching over the exam hiatus.

“I like the pieces that we have, this is my ride or die crew and I really like it,” maintained Banghart. “We are an imperfect crew still. What these kids love to do is hard and that is get better.

With the Princeton University men’s hockey team locked in a 3-3 tie against visiting Union in the third period last Friday evening, Josh Teves produced a brilliant one-man sequence that had the Baker Rink crowd roaring. Nearly 14 minutes into the period, a Union shot bou nced past Pr inceton goalie Colton Phinney and was floating toward the net when Tiger freshman defenseman Teves dove through the air to swat the puck away. Gathering himself, Teves raced down the ice and took a pass from Ryan Kuffner in stride and blasted a shot into the top corner of the net to give Princeton a 4-3 lead. Union, though, responded with a goal three minutes later to knot the game at 4-4 and that ended up as the final result as neither team found the back of the net in the waning moments of the third period or the fiveminute overtime period. In reflecting on his oneman show, Teves said it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time. “The puck hit a guy in front and kind of lobbed up; I don’t know if anyone else saw it so I dove back for it just enough to get a stick on it,” said Teves. “Somebody got the puck to Kuffner and I just jumped in and he made a great behind the back pass and I saw some space. I went down and shot it and hit a corner.” Having skated to a 3-3 tie with Rensselaer a night earlier, the Tigers headed into the third period against Union determined to come out on top aga i ns t t he Dutchmen. “It was let’s not give them even the chance to grab hold of the game, we did an OK job with that,” said Teves. “That last goal was tough to see but I think our mindset was to take control of the game and I think we did a pretty good job of it.” While Princeton didn’t get the win, Teves saw plenty of positives for Princeton to take from the two ties as it moved to 4-12-2 overall and 3-7-2 ECAC Hockey. “Obviously it was tough not to get the full two points in both of these games,” said Teves. “I think there is a lot to be happy about but obviously we can’t be satisfied with a tie. We just got to keep building off of that. I

guess one positive to take is that we know how to play in those situations. The last couple games have been close at the end, overtime action, and I think that will help us down the stretch and in the playoffs.” In assessing his first college season, Teves acknowledged that the team’s veterans have helped him adjust. “There were a lot of different challenges, both on the ice and off,” said Teves, a 6’0, 170-pound native of Calgary, Alberta. “At first, the academics were a little daunting so it was juggling that and dealing with the rigor of the academics in general. What I have seen from a lot of the older guys, through experience, is that you take care of one area and the other works it out. You do everything you can on the ice and in the weight room and academics work themselves out and vice versa.” With 18 games under his belt, Teves feels that he is starting to take care of things better and better on the ice. “I t h i n k t h e sp e e d is definitely a tough one, just knowing how to keep your gap and knowing when to step in,” added Teves, who now has five points on the season with two goals and three assists. “Playing with a great defensive partner in Tommy Davis, I can watch a lot of things he does. He helps me a lot and all of the veteran guys as well. There has definitely been some learning curves and a few bumps in the road. It is getting to grips with it and trying to play more patient, which will help my game.”

IS ON

Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty believes that Teves is starting to play like a veteran. “Josh is playing like an upperclassman already,” asserted Fogarty. “He is a smart, intelligent hockey player and that allows him to quickly absorb the game at the next level. He has transitioned extremely well. His skill development from three years ago is an incredible story. He has gone from junior B to tier 2 junior A to college in less than three years. It is a credit to Brad and Stash (Tiger assistant coaches Brad Dexter and Stavros Paskaris ) to find those guys and we will continue to do that.” Although Princeton didn’t find a way to win against Rensselaer or Union, Fogarty gave his players credit for sticking with the process. “We have to continue to do the small things and the basics and that is what we did,” said Fogarty. “The same thing we did against Yale and Brown on the road is what we did here

at home. It was third guy high, taking control of the puck with a lot of support around and being patient. We tell the guys to make sure that their next shift is better than their last and our coaching staff has to be better tomorrow than we are today.” With the Tigers heading into an exam break and not playing again until they host American International College on January 26, Fogarty wants his players to take care of business. “The emphasis was to do the opposite of when they went home for Christmas,” said Fogarty, whose team d r op p e d t h r e e s t r a i g h t games af ter the holiday break. “At the same time we are very sensitive to the academics that they are engulfed in and we want to make sure that they succeed.” Teves, for his part, is confident that the Tigers will succeed on both fronts. “It is obviously tough to go on a little break again after getting some momentum,” said Teves. “We have to just let school take care of itself and stay focused on both areas.” —Bill Alden

Zahrion Blue wasn’t much of a factor for the Princeton High boys’ basketball team in the first half as it hosted Lawrence last week. The 6’3 star junior forward scored just two points as PHS clung to a 30-25 lead at halftime in the January 5 contest. “I wasn’t being me, I wasn’t playing how I usually play the game,” said Blue, reflecting on his quiet half. “I wasn’t going to the basket, I was passing the ball, trying to get my teammates involved.” In the second half, Blue was a huge factor for PHS, slashing to the basket with great effect, scor ing 15 points over the last 16 minutes of the contest. “I just had to play basketball,” said Blue. “I saw that we were up so I wasn’t really scoring. When it was getting close, I had to bring the lead back up.” Blue’s heroics helped the Little Tigers build up a 6051 lead with four minutes left in regulation but PHS faltered down the stretch, getting outscored 19-7 from that point on the way to suffering a 70-67 loss. “If we had boxed out

better and had gotten rebounds, we probably would have won the game,” said Blue. “We need to let our record motivate us.” After enjoying a superb debut varsity campaign last winter, Blue was motivated to be even better this season. “I improved because I practice a lot; I work on my game in order to be a good player,” said Blue, who scored 28 points as PHS rallied to a 70-65 win over Steinert last Friday and then contributed 25 points in a losing cause as the Little Tigers fell 61-54 to WW/PN last Monday, dropping to 3-6 on the season. Blue enjoys working with senior forward Matt Hart, the team’s other main scoring threat. “We have been playing with each other for a year and our chemistry just builds up every single practice,” said Blue. “In the games, we look for each other. We are the main two scorers and we have to put the team on our back. We have to get everyone involved too.” In reflecting on the loss to L aw rence, PHS head

coach Mark Shelley was disappointed with his team’s lack of execution down the stretch. “It wasn’t like we had freshmen or sophomores in there, we had seniors and juniors and we didn’t make good decisions,” lamented Shelley. “If you are in the driver’s seat like that, good decisionmaking should salt the game away. We have to do better against pressure, move the ball and get through the traps. We like to run but at times we have to pull it back.” Shelley liked the way Blue did better in the second half. “Zahrion did play well, he is an incredibly talented player,” said Shelley. “Our concern with Zahrion is that we feel sometimes the effort is not 100 percent with him all the time. We have got to get him to internalize that and motivate himself. To his credit, he came on.” Hart came up big all night long against Lawrence, tallying a game-high 23 points in the loss. “T heir coach was just throwing up his hands every time he was dribbling,” said Shelley of Hart, who scored 27 points in the win over Steinert and then added 23 in the loss to WW/P-N. “He played like the first-team CVC player that he was last year and should be again.” In order for PHS to make an impact in the CVC, it needs to focus on fundamentals. “We have to talk about the process, all you can do is flush it and try to come out and try to take care of the ball,” said Shelley. “We will evaluate lineups and substitutions, but at the same time it is a matter of being more fundamental and I say that to them every day, you have to be the more fundamental team in almost every game. In every single game, we have a chance to be competitive and come away with a win but we also could lose any game.” Shelley believes his team can come up with some big wins over the final stages of the season. “Last year we lost six or seven in a row in January and it wasn’t nearly as difficult a schedule as we have just played,” said Shelley, whose team plays at Nottingham on Januar y 13, hosts Notre Dame on January 15, and Hopewell Valley on January 19. “We won a double overtime game at Nor th and went on a big run. We won six or seven in a row, even when Hart got hurt towards the end. That is the lesson, we have to stay together as a team, keep positive.” Blue, for his part, is confident that things will come together for the Little Tigers. “We can bounce back,” said Blue. “We just have to play defense, box out, and rebound; do all the little things.” —Bill Alden

Showing Resolve in Comeback Win Over Pingry, PHS Girls’ Hockey Determined to Finish Strong When the Princeton High girls’ hockey team fell behind Pingry 3-1 after one period in its final game of December, it looked like the Little Tigers were headed to their fifth straight loss to start the season. Af ter the period, PHS head coach Christian Herzog didn’t mince his words as he addressed his players. “Plain and simple, ladies, this is your best chance, let’s go,” said Herzog, recalling his message to his players. The Little Tigers followed Herzog’s instructions, outscoring Pingry 4-0 over the final two periods to skate away with a 5-3 victory. Junior for ward Maggie Herring triggered the PHS offense, tallying four goals and an assist in the victory. “W hat I was saying to Maggie, and this is something we have been working on since last year, is that she gets these chances during games and whether it be breakaways or whether it be a 2-on-1, she has got to make them count,” said Herzog. “She has been working on giving herself the best angle, seeing more holes and more opportunities to score.” Herring is also helping to get scoring opportunities for her teammates as well, setting up Alexa Zammit for the game-winning goal against Pingry. “Maggie tied it up at 3-3 and then they took a penalty and I called timeout and we ran a play,” said Herzog. “I told Maggie they are leaving Alexa open on defense, walking right in. I said you go behind the net and pull two people and as soon as you take the people behind, look for Alexa coming short and that was the go-ahead goal.” Senior goalie Callie Urisko also came up big in the victory, bouncing back from a shaky first period to shut the door on Pingry, making 27 saves on the evening. “Callie finished out the game strong,” said Herzog. “It is good to see you can have a bad period and bounce back. That was good for her.” Herzog liked the way the Little Tigers came on strong collectively in overcoming the early deficit. “To be honest, the thing I was most proud about is that we were down and we came from behind,” said Herzog. “In so many other games, whether it be this season or over the years, we haven’t done that.” Producing that rally sparked an emotional outburst for the Little Tigers. “They celebrated like they won the cup because they know that this season is going to be tough,” said Herzog. While PHS fell to 1-6 after losing 11-1 to the Hill School (Pa.) last Wednesday, Herzog believes the team is making progress as the season has unfolded. “A litmus test is have the players gotten better and I would say yes,” said Herzog. “The issue, more or less, is that the teams we are playing have much more depth.” Sophomore defenseman Zammit has gotten much better. “Alexa has gotten

a little more relaxed,” said Herzog. “She has stepped up, she has been more consistent. I like that she is physical. She has a pretty decent wrist shot.” Herzog is seeing more physical play from the Little Tigers across the board. “The girls have been more physical, they are not opening the door and allowing girls to walk in on them,” said Herzog. “They have no qualms about blocking shots. This group will take bruises like no other. They are not afraid to be a little more physical

and play the body a little more.” In Herzog’s view, PHS has a good shot at picking up some more wins in the last month of the campaign. “I would like to see us finish our winnable games,” said Herzog, whose team plays at P r i nce ton Day School on January 14. “It is quite possible that we could be seeing Pingry three times this year. We have them for Senior Night on January 29 and most likely we will both be in the B bracket of the WIHLMA ( Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the MidAtlantic) tournament. We need to try to do the best we can in general.” —Bill Alden

MOVING FORWARD: Princeton High girls’ hockey player Maggie Herring controls the puck in recent action. Junior forward Herring has triggered the offense this winter for the Little Tigers.

Junior Star Forward Blue Raising His Game But PHS Boys’ Hoops Hasn’t Found Rhythm

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, JANuARY 13, 2016 • 26

PDS Boys’ Basketball on the Right Track, Focused on Developing More Consistency For the Princeton Day S chool boys’ basketball team, its 76-63 loss to Rutgers Prep last Saturday was a microcosm of its up-anddown season. “Our whole theme for the rest of the week after the Princeton High game (a 6056 loss on January 4) was energy and intensity,” said PDS head coach Tim Williams. “I think we really came out and matched Rutgers Prep from the start. We took a lead and led for a good portion of the first half and then had a couple of costly turnovers at the end of the half and the start of the third quarter. We got in a little foul trouble.” With the Panthers off to a 6-5 start, Williams has been seeing plenty of good things. “We are still learning a lot,” said William. “I have been really impressed with

some of the things that we do; we are just not quite consistent enough with it yet. I think the kids have really bought in to what we are trying to get them to do. They have really worked hard and even some of the concepts we are asking them to put in that might not make sense to what they are used to, they have been trying. It’s building those habits.” Junior transfer forward John McArthur has made a habit of dominating inside for PDS. “He did really well against PHS, we have just got to get him some help on the glass,” said Williams of McArthur, who had 21 points in the loss to the Little Tigers. “He had 20 rebounds in another game. He has really been a workhorse. We have suffered for size and some of our guards have stepped up to help out some.”

T h e t e a m ’s s t a r t i n g guards, junior Chase Lewis and freshman David Coit, have helped keep the Panthers competitive. “They work well together,” said Williams. “They are brand new working together this year so I have really been happy with the way they have built some chemistry.” Williams is also happy w ith the progress being made by junior guard Mark Washington. “Mark has stepped up his game tremendously,” asserted Williams. “He has always been a really good shooter for us. He has improved on defense and he is rebounding a little bit more. We know we get good offense from him but the rest of his game has come a long way and that is really propelling him into more playing time. He has done a nice job.” PDS is getting some nice work off the bench from junior Paul Franzoni and freshman Craig Wrenn. “Paul does a lot of the things that don’t show up in the box score, he is more of a glue guy,” said Williams. “If you need to get rebounds, he gets rebounds. W h e n w e w e r e p l ay i n g Rutgers Prep, they have a couple of really big guys and he was selling out and boxing the guys out even though he was giving up 4-6 inches. He is unsung. Craig is doing a nice job. He helps facilitate the offense quite a bit. He is averaging two assists in eight minutes a game. He is still adjusting to the speed of the game. I have been real impressed with what he has been doing for us.” In Williams’ view, the Panthers just need to sharpen up their game to pick up more wins over the last month of the season. “I would like to see us really lock down on defense a little bit better,” said Williams, whose team hosts Calvary Christian on January 15 and Newark Academy on January 16. “We are scoring the ball pretty well but the defense goes in fits and spurts. At times we look really good. At other times we are like we are not sure what just happened there. We need to value the ball. I think we are averaging about 20 turnovers a game and that gives the other teams way too many chances.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Pettoni’s Flair for Scoring Clutch Goals Hun Boys’ Hockey Primed for Big Stretch Drive Kyle Pettoni doesn’t mind doing the dirty work around goal for the Hun School boys’ hockey team. “I am just working with the team to get pucks to the net, especially those rebound goals,” said senior forward Pettoni. “We need that because there is a lot of shots to the net and we need traffic in front to help us get those in. It is just hustling, working hard, and never letting up.” Last Wednesday, Pettoni’s scrappy play in the crease helped Hun overcome a 1-0 deficit against Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) as the Raiders scored three goals in a 1:29 span in the first period to seize the momentum of the contest on the way to a 6-2 win. “It felt good, it turned the game around,” said Pettoni, who scored the second goal in the three-goal outburst. “We got momentum going and just went from there and built off of that. All it takes is one goal. It was a rough start but we are used to coming back; that is how we play.” Pettoni played his game as he added a goal early in the second period in a traffic jam in the crease to go with his first tally. “It was just a rebound in front of the net, another garbage goal,” said the 5’7 Pettoni, reflecting on his first goal. “That second one was a surprise, Pat Brake just took the shot and I saw there was a rebound there. I missed the first rebound and just threw it on net and it trickled in.” Winning its second straight Purple Puck tournament title in late December helped the Raiders rebound from a tough 1-4-2 start. “Especially with this season being off to a rough star t, that really put us ahead,” said Pettoni, who scored the game-winning goal in an overtime shootout against St. Joseph’s Prep (Pa.) in the title game. “We got our momentum and our mojo back. We needed that.” With the Raiders coming off a 7-0 loss to Delbarton on January 5, Hun head coach Ian McNally knew his team badly needed to respond to the Wyoming’s early goal. “We were able to regroup, they scored right off the bat on just an awful miscommunication,” said McNally. “They have it right under us and they score and our bench instantly goes silent and it’s like here we go again. To the guys’ credit, they started fighting back, it was let’s go. We are still in this and before you know it, it is 3-1.” The three-goal outburst, which took place in a span of about 90 seconds, changed the tone of the contest. “That was good because we found them off for a second and we had them on the ropes there for a good minute or two,” said McNally. “We played Frank ( Vitucci) and Jon (Bendorf) on defense but we put them forward with Blake (Brown) and they were able to score and keep them up there. Once we had them on the ropes

we went for broke, that was the difference.” McNally was not surprised to see Pettoni make a difference when Hun needed some offense. “Pettoni is a big game, clutch guy,” said McNally. “When he is around the net he is able to jump on pucks and bang them in, that is where he scores all of his goals basically. We needed him because when we put our big guys back on defense again, somebody has got to score the goals so this is pretty timely for him.” On Monday, the Raiders came through in the clutch,

edging Lawrenceville 3-2 in overtime as they built on the win over Wyoming. “This win will give us the confidence that the Purple Puck wasn’t a fluke and that the Delbarton game was a fluke,” said McNally, whose team plays at St. Augustine on January 13 and at Bishop Eustace on January 18. “It is a feel good win.” Pettoni, for his part, feels good about Hun’s prospects as it heads down the homestretch of the season. “We need to just continue to build as a team, become closer and bond more,” said Pettoni. “The more we work as a unit, the more we win.” —Bill Alden

As the starting point guard for the Stuart Country Day School basketball team, Harley Guzman generally focuses on facilitating things for her teammates. But last Friday as Stuart hosted King’s Christian School, Guzman decided to take the ball to the hoop, repeatedly driving through the Knights defense. She scored six points as the Tartans jumped out to a 19-7 lead by the end of the first quarter and never looked back on the way to a 61-20 win. “I haven’t played much inside but recently I have been playing a lot inside,” said senior tri-captain Guzman. “I am not a tall girl. In the last game I played a quarter as a post so that has really been boosting my confidence because as a point guard I have not really gotten to score much. Having that experience helped me get my groove in this game.” After suffering a 55-44 loss to Nottingham a day earlier, the Tartans were happy to get back on track. “Although this wasn’t a powerful team it boosted our confidence to get our

energy back up and to start working together as a team better,” said Guzman, who ended up with 14 points in the victory. Guzman, along with classmates and fellow captains, Rose Tetnowski and Kate Walsh, has worked hard to help bring the Tartans together this winter. “We tried to get together a lot after practice, as captains, we really emphasized a sense of community,” said Guzman. “We had a lot of bonding experiences.” Bonding with sophomore newcomer Jalynn Spaulding has been a good experience for Guzman. “It is really nice to have her there, we work together so well,” said Guzman. “We just have this unspoken energy between us and it is so nice.” Emphasizing the long range benefits derived from playing basketball, the Tartans bring a special energy to the court. “We are taught to look at basketball in a bigger picture,” said Guzman. “It is not about the game for us, it is about working hard in every aspect of out lives

PASSING ATTACK: Stuart Country Day School basketball player Harley Guzman makes a pass in a game earlier this season. Last Friday, senior guard Guzman scored 14 points to help Stuart defeat King’s Christian 61-20.

and that really boosts our mentality.” That focus has helped the team make strides from last year as it has started 11-4 after posting an 11-16 record in 2014-15. “I think we just work better,” said Guzman. “We have a really good sense of our team, we really know each other well.” Stuart head coach Justin Leith liked the work he got from Guzman in the win over King’s Christian. “Harley is one of t he toughest players I have had since I have been coaching,” said Leith. “That needs to be honed becaus e she can be all over the place sometimes. She was aggressive today all in the right way. She was a great leader, forgot the points, she set people up and was distributing the basketball, just doing all of things that she can do.” In cruising past King’s Christian, the Tartans displayed some good offensive balance with Spaulding scoring 15 points, Bey-Shana Clark adding 13, and Walsh contributing 12 in addition to the 14 tallied by Guzman. “That is good, it means we are moving the basketball and people weren’t out there, trying to get their own; they were just doing what is right within the offense,” said Leith. “We wanted to make sure that we execute the things that we didn’t execute yesterday and we did that. What felt better to me about today was that we were getting everybody involved.” Leith also saw better execution at the defensive end. “The things that I saw today that weren’t there yesterday is that defensively we were in denial while having ball pressure at the same time, not one or the other,” said Leith. “We helped the helper. We were cognizant of where the basketball was on the floor. Sometimes we have one person worry about their man and not the basketball and they are spinning around. Everyone was tuned in together, which was good.” Stuart’s good start has helped the team feel good about itself. “It gives them c o n f i d e n c e , w e d i d n’t change the schedule,” said Leith, whose team dropped dropped to 11-4 with a 4932 loss to Bound Brook last Monday and plays at Princeton Day School on January 13 before hosting Trinity Hall on January 15. “ We g ot r i d of s o m e schools that weren’t competitive. It speaks to the fact that we have gotten better because we have played basically the same teams.” In Guzman’s view, appreciating the value of competition has been a key factor in the team’s success. “I think we need to continue to look at that bigger picture,” said Guzman. “I feel like it really fuels our team when we are thinking about this as not just a game but life lessons. It really propels us.” —Bill Alden

Despite Struggling to a Frustrating 1-9 Start, Hun Girls’ Hoops Displaying Upbeat Attitude It was another rough day at the office for the Hun School girls’ basketball team last Saturday as it hosted the Hill School (Pa.). Missing three key players due to injury, Hun lost 4119, falling to 1-9 and suffering its seventh straight defeat. While it would be understandable if the Raiders were hanging their heads, Hun head coach Bill Holup hasn’t seen any quit in his players. “The girls are hustling, t hey are pushing t hem selves,” said Holup. “We have our hands tied behind our backs right now, we have three girls out with injuries, Amber Bourke, Alexis Moise, and Julie Fassl. Amber is our top returning scorer from last year and she has only played one game in our first 10 so far. Alexis has missed eight games and Julie missed the last game before break and this week.” Those who can play are stepping up to the best of their abilities. “Everybody is chipping in and doing what they can,” added Holup. “The kids are a great group, their personality has been great.” Freshman Leah Sutphen and senior Maura Kelly have been doing well for the Raiders. “Leah’s primary sport is soccer,” said Holup. “She has really stepped up, her competitiveness and overall effort has been fantast ic. Maura Kelly scored 15 points against PDS on Thursday (in a 62-38 loss) and had eight against Hill. She is really starting to assert herself on the offensive end; she has always been a solid defensive player.” Holup is looking for his players to assert themselves

through a focus on fundamentals. “I just want us to get better every game and continue to learn and improve and not make the same mistakes we made the previous game,” said Holup, whose team hosts Blair Academy on January 13 and then plays at Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on January 16. “That is what it really comes down to, every day working on something and getting better at it; whether

it is defensive rebounding or taking a charge or getting more steals or cutting down turnovers, whatever it is. Every day we just want to continue to improve in some area and by the end of the season we will be a stronger team than we were in the beginning.” Based on the upbeat mentality displayed by his players so far, Holup is confident that Hun can do better and better as the season goes on. “The effort is there,” asserted Holup. “We just have to continue to improve and fight through the adversity.” —Bill Alden

Robert H.B. Baldwin Robert H.B. Baldwin, former Chairman and President of Morgan Stanley and Co. and Under Secretary of the Navy, died Sunday of pneumonia. He was 95. He was a resident of Hobe Sound, Florida and had a home in Princeton. Mr. Baldwin was both witness to and agent of enormous transitions on Wall Street during his 37-year career, which was interrupted only by his service as Under Secretary of the Navy from 1965 to 1967. He started at Morgan Stanley in 1946, and was named Partner in 1958. During much of his career Morgan Stanley’s business was focused entirely on advising and raising capital for corporations, relying on other firms to distribute the clients’ securities. In 1971 Mr. Baldwin became president, and presided over the launch of a sales and trading business. Under his leadership the firm also added investment research, private wealth management, and launched the industry’s first dedicated mergers and acquisitions department. He was promoted to chairman in 1979, and retired from the firm in 1983; at that time,

Robert E. Linton, chairman of the Securities Industry Association, Wall Street’s leading trade group, commented: “He represented all the things that Morgan Stanley stood for, yet was modern enough to compete in the new world.” Very active in in-

dustry affairs, Mr. Baldwin served on the Board of the New York Stock Exchange from 1974 to 1977 and then was chairman of the Security Industries Association

1942, the highest honor for a student-athlete at Princeton. After graduation, Mr. Baldwin volunteered for service in the Navy and graduated from Officer’s Training School in December, 1942. H e re m a i n e d on ac t ive duty until April, 1946. He joined Morgan Stanley that month. Mr. Baldwin is survived by his wife of 34 years, Dorothy Tobin Baldwin; five children from his previous marriage to Geraldine Williams Baldwin: Janet K. Baldwin of New York, N.Y., Deborah Baldwin Fall of Chappaqua, N.Y.; Robert H.B. Baldwin, Jr. of Princeton; Whitney H. Baldwin of Villanova, Pa.; and Elizabeth Baldwin Maushardt of Santa Cruz, Calif.; as well as two stepchildren, Mary A. Hack of Greenwich, Conn. and W. Dillaway Ayres, Jr. of Glen Cove, N.Y.; and 13 grandchildren. A memorial service was held in his honor at the Princeton University Chapel on Saturday, January 9 at 2 p.m. He will be buried in the family plot in Bridgehampton, N.Y. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the National Office of Communities in Schools (www. communitiesinschools.org/ donate). Arrangements are under the direction of the MatherHodge Funeral Home, Princeton. ———

Obituaries

starting in 1977. Mr. Baldwin’s many philanthropic endeavors included The Presbyterian Hospital of New York, where he was a trustee from 1973 until his death. In the early 1980s, he chaired a highly successful capital campaign resulting in the building of the Allen Pavilion. In addition, he was particularly proud of supporting a small project on the Lower East Side of New York, started by two dedicated social reformers led by William Milliken. Dedicated to tackling the high dropout rate of underserved youth, the project, now called Communities in Schools, has grown to have locations in 26 states, serving 1.5 million elementary, middle, and high school students through 164 affiliates. Its proven model positions site coordinators inside schools to assess students’ needs and provide resources to help them succeed in the classroom and in life, and it is the nation’s largest and most effective organization dedicated to keeping kids in school. He was also active on the board of the Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge Foundation in Morristown, N.J., having been a founding Board member in 1974, and serving as president and CEO from 1987 to 1990, and chairman from 1990 to 2000. Over the 30 years that he served on the Dodge Board, its assets grew from $60 million to $288 million and over this period the foundation awarded 9,700 grants totaling $301 million. Mr. Baldwin ser ved on two Presidential Commissions, and during his stint as Under Secretary of the Navy he made two trips to Vietnam. At the end of his first trip in 1965, he recommended the Nav y use containers for its shipments to the area. After pursuing the idea for 18 months, the first containerized ship arrived in Vietnam in 1967, his last day of office. It was estimated that containerization reduced theft and spoilage sufficiently to save the government from $12 to $18 billion. Mr. Baldwin was born in East Orange, N.J. on July 9, 1920. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, cum laude, in 1938 and from Princeton University, summa cum laude, in 1942. While at Princeton, he was awarded letters in football, basketball, and baseball and was winner of the William Winston Roper Cup in

EVERYTHING YOU WERE LOOKING FOR AT A TERRIFIC PRICE

SUBURBAN LIVING HOTTER THAN EVER FOR 2016 Real estate website Zillow has made its predictions for the 2016 real estate market, and if they come true, it should be a good year for both buyers and sellers, especially in areas like Princeton and the surrounding neighborhoods. Here are the highlights: • Buyers – especially first-time buyers – will begin to move farther outside of urban areas like New York City and Philly, opting instead for “amenity-rich suburbs — mini-cities, with walkable cores and an urban feel” — just like Princeton. • First-time buyers will be a little older on average, with a median age of just over 33 years. • Soaring rents across the country will mean more people will enter the housing market as first-time buyers. • Home value growth will also increase in 2016 by about 3.5 percent, according to real estate market experts polled by the website. In Princeton and surrounding markets, the 2016 real estate is poised to reach new heights, and combined with the recent positive economic outlook, that means it's a good time for both buyers and sellers to make their move and enter the market to maximize their returns.

In the Princeton Horizons Complex, near the Village of Kingston in South Brunswick Township, a handsome townhouse with living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths, Association pool and tennis. Truly a great value. $131,000 www.stockton-realtor.com
