Council Hears Comments From Merchants, Residents On Parking Changes

Princeton’s new parking rates, regulations, and technology dominated a meeting of the governing body on Monday night, January 14. At Witherspoon Hall, several downtown merchants aired their concerns to Princeton Council about the new system. But some also thanked the town for their efforts and said they understand that rates needed to be raised. In addition, the meeting included the announcement that the town’s Food Waste Program is being put on a three-month hiatus. Mayor Liz Lempert also reported that there is no date yet for restarting the Dinky train line, which has been out of service for the past three months. Local high school students Aidan York, Brendan Bucceri, and Ryan Neumann were presented with an award of recognition by former Councilman Lance Liverman for their efforts helping stranded motorists during the unexpected snowstorm last November. Lempert opened the discussion by saying the Council understands the frustrations people are having with the parking system. “The ultimate goal is to have a parking system that makes the best use of what we already have,” she said. “We are committed to getting it right.” Municipal engineer Deanna Stockton went over changes and tweaks that have been made as a result of comments submitted by the public, urging people to report any problems with specific meters, kiosks, or the mobile app. Regarding coin jams, the coin canisters on the meters had not arrived when they were first installed, resulting in the meters filling up too soon. That problem has been solved, she said. Most widely reported have been problems with visibility at the meters. Stockton said the town has been working with the vendor, and the meters will now light up longer once a button on them is pushed. Issues with pre-paying using the mobile app have been addressed, and the minimum for using credit cards, which was $1, is now 50 cents. Lempert said the town is hoping to work out a better deal with Passport Parking, provider of the app. Administrator Mark Dashield said the while the system went live on November 5, all of the meters had not yet been installed. This resulted in a loss to the town of $500 a day for the nine days it wasn’t operational, and the town’s attorney has demanded damages for that loss. Continued on Page 9

Rally Urges Solidarity, “Love Over Hate” Originally anticipated as an event that would spread hate, bigotry, conflict, and possibly violence, a rally in Princeton last Saturday turned into an expression of solidarity and harmony, as the white supremacist group that had said it was coming to town didn’t show up and hundreds of counter-protestors joined “a love train,” in the words of Princeton University Professor Emeritus Cornel West. Signs of all sizes proclaimed such messages as “Love Not Hate Makes America Great,” “Hate Has No Home Here,” and “Princeton Stands Against Hate and White Supremacy,” as the crowds paraded around the perimeter of Palmer Square chanting “Not in Princeton, not anywhere,” “No hate, no fear, Nazis are not welcome

here,” and other expressions of solidarity in opposition to the originally planned white supremacist message. A white nationalist group calling itself the New Jersey European Heritage Association (NJEHA) early last week announced plans to stage a march at noon on Saturday in Palmer Square, promoting the message “It’s OK to be White.” Several groups quickly planned counterprotests, and the Princeton Police Department (PPD) prepared for large numbers of demonstrators with the possibility of clashes between the factions. Then, late Friday, the NJEHA, which had appeared in Princeton with “It’s OK to be White” signs last November, announced that the plans for the march had

ON A “LOVE TRAIN”: Princeton University Professor Emeritus Cornel West addresses the crowd on Saturday in Palmer Square. Originally announced to be a march in Princeton by a white supremacist group, the event turned into a rally against hate, bigotry, and racism, and a call for solidarity. West and others gave short speeches after the hundreds of participants marched around the square, carrying signs and chanting. (Photo by Charles R. Plohn)

been a hoax from the start. “You’ve been punked,” they wrote on Twitter. “There isn’t going to be a ‘march.’ There never was.” Amidst speculation that the NJEHA had backed down in the face of being outnumbered by widespread opposition, counterprotestors decided that there would be a march, but it would be a march against hate and racism.

Honoring King’s Legacy With Concerts, Lectures, And Helping Others On Monday, January 21, communities across the country will commemorate the life and legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. Locally, numerous events are planned, on and around that day. King, who was assassinated on April 4, 1968, was actually born on January 15, 1929. But the tradition is to honor him each year on the third Monday in January. The Baptist minister and activist is one of only three people to have an American national holiday named after him (the others are George Washington and Christopher Columbus). Legislation designating the federal holiday in his honor wasn’t passed until 15 years after his death, and the day wasn’t officially commemorated until 1986. Since then, it has become a tradition to remember King by attending services, lectures, films, concerts, and — most of all — volunteering. Following is a sampling of local events and opportunities. On Friday, January 18 at 8 p.m., McCarter Theatre Center presents We Shall Overcome, a musical featuring repertoire from across African American music traditions interwoven with spoken word from King’s speeches. The performance is led by Damien Sneed and includes everything from traditional gospel to jazz and broadway. Visit mccarter.org for ticket information. On Saturday, January 19 at 2 p.m., Plainsboro Public Library examines King’s legacy with a discussion with filmmaker Purcell Carson of her documentary, Telling the Story of Harlan Joseph. Joseph, who was unarmed, was killed by a Trenton police officer in 1968. An honor student, Continued on Page 4

Cantor at The Jewish Center Shares His Love of Klezmer

Jef f Warschauer spent years play ing bluegrass, country, folk, rock, soul, and rhythm and blues before he discovered the music that spoke to him. It was klezmer, a musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe, and he was hooked.

“I was playing everyone else’s ethnic music but my own,” said Warschauer, who has been the cantor at The Jewish Center of Princeton since last July. “Then one night I went to a concert by the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is my music.’ I had my ‘aha’ moment.” Since then, Warschauer has immersed himself in t h e c u lt u re of k le z m er. On Saturday, January 26, he and Deborah Strauss, his wife and collaborator, will present an evening of klezmer music and dancing, joined by clarinetist Michael Winograd and violinist Jake Shulman-Ment, who happen to be Warschauer’s former students. The event, which will also include dessert, is open to all.

TOPICS Of the Town B ot h Wa r s c h au e r a n d Strauss are fluent in Yiddish. He plays guitar, mandolin, and does voc als ; she plays violin, accordion, and sings. They were both longtime members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, the troupe Warschauer heard at the fateful concert more than two decades ago. They list the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Great Britain’s Fiddles on Fire, and t he Jew ish Cu lt ure Festival in Cracow, Poland, among their performance credits. Warschauer grew up in Boston, making a lot of trips to Philadelphia to visit members of his extended family. “My grandparents had the classic Jewish chicken farm in South Jersey,” he said. “So we were in the area a lot.” He discovered his affinity for music early, playing a variety of styles on guitar, mandolin, and other instruments. He even worked for “a semi-famous rockabilly guy,” he said. Once he decided to devote his energies to klezmer, Warschauer began to learn to speak, and then sing, in Yiddish. “That evolved in me wanting to become a cantor,” he said. “I only graduated from the Jewish Theological Seminar y in 2015.” Klezmer “is really good music,” Warschauer said.

“It’s very emotional. At its best, it’s very soulful. It is transcendent. It takes you to another place. It’s full of surprises, and full of life. As the New York Times critic Jon Pareles once wrote, ‘it has a way of expressing the deeply sad and the very happy at the same time.’ ” The traditional klezmer, usually p er for me d by a clarinetist, violinist, and vocalist, is “the tip of the iceberg,” Warschauer said. “There are now so many types of music under the heading.” The two guest ar t ists at t he upcom ing concert “are a world class clar inetist and v iolinist, and a newer generation of the klezmer phenomenon.

We’ve played together a lot, but to actually have a concert here at The Jewish Center is very exciting.” Participants at the concert will be invited to join Strauss in some traditional klezmer dancing. “Deborah is a master teacher of this,” Warschauer said. “W hen p e ople t h i n k of Je w i s h dance, they think of Israeli dance, which is wonderful — but there is a style of group dancing which is related to klezmer music and Yiddish song. It’s different, and really fun. It’s not difficult. We always say, all you have to know how to do is walk. And if you can’t, you can do it sitting in a chair. But people should come to the concert even if they don’t want to dance.” The concert begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18 for members of T he Jew ish Center, which is at 435 Nassau Street; $25 for others.

Question of the Week:

“Do you think there should be limits to free speech if it hurts others?” (Asked Saturday in Palmer Square) (Photographs by Charles R. Plohn)

“Unfortunately, no, I don’t think it should be censored. Because who is to say what is wrong and what is right? Someone might say that me protesting white supremacy is wrong. That’s what makes America great. We do have freedom of speech even though people are going to disagree on what other people are saying. I think our best option would be to find a way to agree to disagree in a very peaceful way and come to a resolution that would ultimately find a way for people to work together and find a common ground.” —Lisa Archbald, Kingston

On January 10, at 3:13 p.m., a victim reported that the windows of their vehicle were smashed in an attempt to burglarize it as it was parked at Greenway Meadows on Rosedale Road. The victim described the suspect’s vehicle as a large silver or tan Infiniti SUV fleeing westbound on Rosedale Road. On January 6, at 12:50 p.m., a victim reported that their vehicle was purposefully scratched along the passenger side doors while it was parked on Linden Lane at Guyot Avenue. The cost the damage is $800. On January 4, at 6:13 p.m., it was reported that someone spray painted graffiti on the outside western wall of the Princeton Garden Theatre. On January 3, at 8:49 a.m., a victim reported that their unlocked vehicle was burglarized while parked in the Juniper Row lot between 6:30 p.m. on January 2 and 8:45 a.m. on January 3. No items were taken. On January 3, at 11:09 a.m., a victim reported that their credit card, which had been lost in Princeton, was fraudulently used 28 times. The card was used three times at the CVS on Nassau Street. The total fraudulent charges totaled $1,677.90.

Spencer: “I think only if there is a threat of violence, then free speech should be limited. As much as I don’t like the white supremacists, I believe they do have a right to free speech. For example, Colin Kapernick — he’s exercising his right to free speech. A lot of people disagree with his methods, but he’s allowed to do what he wants to help promote free speech.” Rohan: “Kind of following Spencer’s point of view, I agree that everyone has the right of free speech, and that should not change. But only if there is a clear and present danger, like in the Schenck vs. U.S. case. Only if one’s words were meant to harm other people should they be limited.” — Spencer, right, with Rohan Arora, both of Princeton

Jean: “I think that there’s a fine line between free speech and malicious, damaging speech. I strongly support the First Amendment, but freedom of speech does not eliminate you from the consequences of your speech. Just like freedom to protest or freedom to action doesn’t eliminate you from your consequences.” Judy: I don’t think it should be limited. But I do think you must answer for maliciousness, and in a case like this, where you are bringing ugliness into a town, it carries a threat along with it. And that’s why I felt it necessary to show up and demonstrate that we’re not going to be threatened or bullied.” —Jean Curley, Lumberton with Judy Tyndall, Edison

Christopher: “Free speech should be for unity and for love, that’s it. It should be used to bring people together. Free speech is good; I am all for it. But if it is used for dividing people, for destroying people, I cannot stand for it.” Anna: “I have the same feeling that it should limited if it is meant to stir up violence and to divide people.” Stacey: “White supremacists, speech that invites violence, the president’s dog whistles to white supremacists and not denouncing what happened in Charlottesville, people should be called out and there should be consequences for that type of speech. That is not freedom of speech, that is bullying and trying to pit people against one another for personal gain.” —Christopher and Anna Muflan, Princeton with Stacey Gregg, Rockaway Township, and Kenneth Ngwa, Princeton

Against Hate, Black Lives Matter, the Green Party, student groups from Princeton University and Princeton High School, and others. The PPD, in coordination with local, state, and federal law enforcement groups, prepared for Saturday’s event in the face of uncertainty about who might show up and what might ensue. Nassau Street remained open, but Hulfish Street and Palmer Square streets were closed, and barriers were set up in Palmer Square and near Hinds Plaza. Two large garbage trucks blocked the entrance to Palmer Square on Nassau Street. PPD spokesman Sgt. Frederick Williams noted that there were no disturbances, injuries, or property damage reported, and that participants obeyed rules prohibiting poles or sticks to hoist signs. Palmer Square was reopened about 2 p.m. “We did learn that the systems, policies, and procedures we have in place worked well for us that day,” Williams added. He stated that PPD Chief Sutter and the PPD appreciated the professional logistical support from the NJ State Police, the NJ Division of Criminal Justice, NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, NJ Department of Corrections, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, Mercer County Sheriff’s Department, and many area police agencies. Dozens of uniformed personnel were present around Palmer Square and elsewhere in the downtown area. “Our preparations have the safety and well being of Princeton residents, businesses,

and visitors in mind,” the PPD noted in a press release. “It turned out to be a wonderful expression of community solidarity, and Princeton sent a loud and clear message of love over hate,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “The Princeton police mobilized quickly and put plans in place to ensure everyone’s safety. I’m also appreciative to the merchant community. They also mobilized quickly with offers to help the police and a show of support for the counter-protestors via fantastic storefront displays celebrating love and inclusion.” A s s e mbly m a n A n d re w Zwicker, who also participated in the rally, added, “It warms my heart to see the community come together. I’m proud of Princeton. Hate has no home in Princeton, and that’s not what this country stands for.” One of the rally organizers, Northern NJ Democratic Socialists of America spokesperson Kristen Beatty, told the crowd, “It’s important for you to know, they backed down because of all of you. We can always silence their violence and stand up against their hate and call it out, wherever it exists.” As the rally drew to a close, West urged the participants, “Don’t become discouraged.

Think of this moment. We do make a difference. This is what love looks like in public. We’re standing for love and care and justice and truth.” —Donald Gilpin

Resident Arthur Schwartz addressed the issue of Smart Cards, which “have turned out to be dumb cards,” he said. He suggested that whatever money is left on the cards, which are scheduled to be phased out, should go toward payment of property tax. Lempert said the town is working on how to proceed with the Smart Cards. Patton Avenue Resident Margaret Griffin said she doesn’t like the Smart Cards, and prefers using a credit card instead, which is “a more friendly system for out of towners,” she said. She added that there is a tradition in Princeton of “constant griping. My point is that the parking issue is an old one.” Lauren Gellman, owner of Milk & Cookies on Chambers Street, told Council she has received multiple complaints from customers about the higher prices and changed time limits on meters. “I have lost several employees and I know others have, too,” she said. Stockton said the town is looking at the possibility of permitted parking for employees of local businesses. Dorothea von Moltke, an owner of Labyrinth Books, said that the fixes that have been made “don’t get to the heart of the matter” and urged Council to allow time to work on making the system viable rather than “quick

fixes.” She and other members of the Princeton Merchants Association ( PMA) are not against change, she said, “but real improvement to parking has to take the merchants into account.” Progressive parking has to have a third hour, and permitted parking for employees is “absolutely essential,” she said. “We recognize that you have a budget, and we have ideas where some of the money can come back from.” Lempert, who with other Council members has met with members of the PMA, said the issue of permitting “is high on the list” of issues. We do want to engage with you.” She suggested setting up some additional informal meetings. Jack Morrison, president of the PMA, provided survey data to Council that represented 1,100 employees. “I urge you to read these comments,” he said. Scott Sillars, head of the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee, praised Council for “a magnificent start” to the multi-layered parking project. “We need to watch what happens and measure as we go along,” he said. “I don’t think there is any crisis here.” Some merchants disagreed, including the owner of Pins & Needles on Chambers Street, who said that unlike other locations like Westfield, where similar parking systems have been installed, Princeton is a

tourist and shopping destination where people might visit only on occasion. “So people won’t get used to the system,” she said. “It just doesn’t seem like it’s in the best interest.” Council voted unanimously to introduce an ordinance that will establish all-day parking on Witherspoon Street, from Green to Lytle streets, in place of the threehour time limit. The rate will be 75 cents an hour. A public hearing on that action is February 11. Asked earlier in the day if the rollout of the parking system has been a disappointment, Lempert said, “There have been more surprises than I would have liked. But it’s a complex system.” Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller said, “We are disappointed and frustrated.” —Anne Levin

leaders of theaters that they did not found themselves, opening the door for other female artistic directors to step into leadership positions at major resident theaters around the country.” He added, “The larger theater world is lucky that she will continue in her work as a playwright and director after her time at the helm of McCarter is over.” Mann discussed her years at McCarter and the timing of her decision to step down. “Three decades ago, McCarter took the brave and bold step of casting a young female artist as its artistic director, long before women writers and directors were widely embraced in American theater,” she said. “After what has been an extraordinary journey, it is time to pass the torch to the next generation of artistic directors, many of whom I have been privileged to mentor, so that they may impart their own unique signatures at McCarter.” I m m e r w a h r, w h o f ir s t came to McCarter in 2005 as directing intern to Mann, s er ve d as her as sis ta nt on the world premiere of Christopher Durang’s Miss Witherspoon, collaborated with her over the years, and now continues to direct at McCarter from time to time, described Mann’s “one-ofa-kind ability to give notes that get right to the heart of a piece of theater. Her insights are eye-opening and play-transforming. She falls passionately in love with art, and becomes a fierce and tireless advocate for the actors, designers, writers, and directors whose work she champions.” H e c ont i n u e d , “E m i ly taught me the importance of giving artists an artistic home; a place where they can work over many years to build their next great masterpiece. She taught me that the best plays come from letting writers be the architects of their own plays’ development paths. As a director, she taught me the importance of letting actors take the time they need to find the depth of their performances. More than anything, she taught me that an artistic director needs to set

a high artistic bar, and hold all of their artists to that same standard.” Mann has overseen more than 160 productions at McCarter, including more than 40 world premieres. During her tenure the theater won the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre, and Mann herself was twice nominated for Tony Awards as a playwright and director. Her other awards include eight Obies, a Peabody Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and many more. “Emily ushered in an exceptionally robust artistic period that catapulted McCarter to the world stage,” said Interim McCarter Board of Trustees President Reginald M. Browne. “She has been a trailblazing force in shaping the course of American theater through her focus on diversity and inclusiveness and her passion for nurturing scores of emerging and established artists whose creative expression has challenged convention and enriched our collective community. Her imprint as an agent of change is as inspiring as it is indelible.” June Ballinger, actress and former artistic director at Passage Theatre in Trenton, and Mann have been friends ever since Ballinger moved to Princeton from New York 23 years ago to take charge at Passage. “We have become good friends and continued to commiserate on the balance of home life, our creative work, and leadership responsibilities,” Ballinger said. “I adore her. We also had a wonderful collaboration together. Passage and McCarter had an understanding where many of her talented directing, marketing, casting, and literary interns came directly to work at Passage following their year at McCarter.” Ballinger continued, “She is fiercely intelligent and articulate and has managed artfully to put together seasons that are both challenging, containing new work by important new voices, and classic productions executed boldly and with great distinction. This is no small feat as she can appeal to the conser vative patrons and risk-seeking audiences within the same season — and sustain that.” Mann’s final season at McCarter, which will be announced in March, will be “Signature Emily,” plays celebrating diverse and emerging artists. McCarter’s board will be formalizing a process for selecting the theater’s next artistic director, “with a commitment to build on Emily Mann’s storied legacy,” according to McCarter’s press release. —Donald Gilpin

over the math club that he started at PCS. “Almost every fourth grader has signed up for it,” he said. “They decide for themselves whether they will come or not. To see every level of student excited to join the club and wanting to join the club to try out some interesting, cool math problems together — for me that’s exciting. And they’re walking away saying, ‘Hey, I’m part of a math club. math’s really important to me.’” Sharing his thoughts about engaging young math students, Burt continued, “To enjoy math, you have to be challenged in it. You have to have success. You don’t have to answer every single question correctly, but you have to feel you’re getting better at it.” PCS Burt noted that PCS, for a number of reasons, “is a very good fit for me.” He mentioned the advantages of a K-8 school, the smallschool environment, and an administration that has high expectations and encourages creativity. “I really like the K-8 model,” he said. “I get to know the students really well in third grade, then I get to know them as they develop all the way to eighth grade. I get to see them every day on the playground and in the halls, and I get to talk to them all the time.” He continued, “There’s also a lot of communication here between parents and teachers. I feel I have a good relationship with the parents of students in my classes. It’s a nice small community, an extension of the Princeton community. When I go around town to the library, McCaffrey’s, to the CP pool, it’s the same parents and kids I get to see — in the classroom, on the basketball court, or on the lacrosse field. It’s an awesome position I’m in. I love teaching in my hometown.” Coaching Burt, who played soccer and ran cross country when he was a student at Princeton High School, has always seen sports as an important part of his life, and coaching is a key component of his world at PCS. “I love coaching for the same reasons I love teaching,” he said. “It’s fun to see kids both in the classroom and on the practice field or in the game, to see them improve in skills they are working hard at, to see them succeed at things they didn’t realize they could do, to watch them cheer each other on.” Burt has had extraordinary success with his coaching and with his Hawks Game Camp, which signs up about 150 children each summer. He spoke about the advantages of sports on the middle school level. “It’s still for the fun of the game and to be with friends. It hasn’t gotten so serious where everybody feels they’re training to try to get accepted into a college sports program.” He continued, “From my own son’s experience, I’ve watched the direction youth sports have gone. I’ve seen

some of the joy of sports disappear with all of these travel programs. I feel like they leave out a lot of kids who would just like to play the sport.” The spor ts program at PCS, he noted, “offers the opportunity to play, have fun, get better at a sport, get some exercise, but not have the pressure that winning is everything. The fun and the discipline are important to me. I run a hard practice. I expect a lot from my kids. The fact that so many kids keep signing up for my teams is a sign that they’re enjoying it. I’m trying to push them beyond what they think they can do, but I want them to enjoy it.” PCS Head of School Larry Patton described Burt as “a wonderful educator, colleague, and mentor to students. He is kind, caring, and thoughtful in all of his interactions with his students. He has had a great impact on his runners, many of whom have gone on to run at high school and college. He is an outstanding mathematics teacher who has been able to reach all students in his classes, always willing to help and always with a positive attitude. He is a great role model for our students.” PCS Physical Education Teacher and Athletic Director Mark Papp, who hosts the summer camp with Burt, commented on his “caring, loving, infectious personality.” Papp added, “I am envious of his non-stop energy and his love for the children of Princeton.” With Burt’s intense schedule of teaching and coaching, it’s not surprising that he looks forward to the contrast of a bit of serenity. “I love teaching,” he reiterated, “but it is a loud occupation. I like having quiet time, which is why I love walking and running through the trails of Mountain Lakes and the Sourlands. It’s peaceful and quiet. By the end of the day, certainly by the summer, it’s nice to have some peace and quiet. The idea of taking a long solo hike is enticing.” Burt, who has run in the New York City marathon a few times, is currently training for a 50K trail race later this spring, his first ultra-marathon (more than 26 miles). “I’ve gotten into trail running, which I find so much easier on my joints,” he said. “I’m a little nervous, but excited for it.” Burt and his wife, Camille Hernandez-Burt, who met and married in Albuquerque before they returned to the East almost 20 years ago, live in Princeton, “just seven houses down from PCS.” Their son Joaquin goes to Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, and her three older children, Burt’s step-children, live in the area. Burt’s parents still live in Princeton in the house where he grew up. — Donald Gilpin

Among the driving forces in the life of Princeton Charter School (PCS) math teacher and coach Aaron Burt are his passions for math, coaching, working with elementary and middle school kids, and his hometown of Princeton. “I’ve always enjoyed the energy that kids have,” he said. “I enjoy working with that energy. I always thought I’d like to be a teacher. Especially at the elementary level, the kids’ love of learning, their eagerness to be at school, to be with friends, to be with teachers, is great. It’s so much work, but the energy and excitement make every day exciting and fun. I wake up every morning and I’m excited for another day.” Bur t, who grew up in P r i nceton a nd at tende d Princeton schools, graduated from Ithaca College and went to work in various jobs with young people — in Nevada and California, in Albuquerque, New Mexico — before heading back to Princeton as sports director at the Princeton Family YMCA. Deciding that the school classroom and coaching would be the place for him, Burt earned his teaching certification at Rider University. As he was earning his certification and student teaching at Johnson Park Elementary School, he realized that he wanted to teach in the town where he’d grown up. “I really wanted to teach in Princeton,” he continued. “I love the town and I love the schools. To be able to find a teaching job in Princeton at a wonderful school was a great opportunity for me.” In 2004, 10 years after graduating from college, he signed on at PCS for his first and only full-time teaching job. Teaching Math Bur t recalls his grandmother as a par ticularly strong influence on his decision to become a teacher. “She had been a teacher and had always encouraged me to be a teacher,” he said. “Early on when I wasn’t teaching after college, she would say, ‘You really should be in the classroom. You’re very good with kids. You’re very good with people.’ She kept it in my mind that that was something I should be moving towards. I give her a lot of credit for my decision.” His father had been an engineering professor, so, Burt added, “The idea of prepping for your classes, g rading st udents’ work, figuring out the best ways to reach your students and teach them, was something I knew about in the house when I was growing up.” Emphasizing the value of mathematics for his students and the advantages of being able to focus on math in the classroom rather than teaching an array of different elementary school subjects, Burt explained, “Math is problem solving. Everything in life is going to involve problem solving. They’re going to apply it to everything they do in the future.” Long before the start of school in the morning, Burt can often be found presiding

Saturday’s Demonstration Was a Success But Not Taxpayer Expense, Lost Revenue

To the Editor: There are many groups in Princeton who espouse fine civic concerns. I imagine that if several of them approached the authorities to suggest that we shut down the center of town for half a day in order to demonstrate peacefully, the idea would be dismissed out of hand. How ironic that the threat of some white supremacists standing in the middle of Princeton on January 12, 2019 to represent their own repugnant beliefs achieved this peaceful plan and more. Lacking the white supremacists, the quiet demonstration by hundreds of townspeople, University people, and likeminded visitors, was a success. But we did not get to everyone’s civic concerns! I would be inclined to suggest that we do this again in a few weeks (minus the white supremacists), were I not concerned for Princeton’s beleaguered downtown merchants who lost revenue, and the taxpayer expense of the dozens and dozens of fine policemen who protected us all from each other.

With Original Ridership Holding Strong, Dinky Is Poised for Some Real Growth

To the Editor: While the Dinky did lose 22 percent of its ridership after the relocation of the Station, 78 percent of its original ridership has remained and is holding strong! Before the temporary suspension to help NJT with its Federal PTC retrofit deadline, ridership losses on the Dinky had leveled off despite the apparent allure of parking permits at the Junction. Princeton is slowing initiating it’s GoPrinceton transit campaign. The Dinky is now poised for some real growth. While there have a been a few days during the year where NJT unforgivably has had service problems, by-and-large the Dinky has delivered passengers day-in and day-out ontime at the Junction with just a short passenger hop onto

waiting trains. There are a lot of advantages that Dinky riders enjoy over those who use Junction parking, hiking through the parking lot in the wind, rain, and snow, dayin and day-out. There are big problems with the substitute buses. Passengers get caught in traffic like everybody else, not to mention that big pause at the Alexander Street Bridge! Use of the buses has added tremendously to commuter time and uncertainty for Dinky riders, and contributed to area congestion. Right now, before the suspension, annual ridership according to figures from NJT under OPRA, was slated to be about 470,000 for 2018. That’s a monthly average ridership of around 40,000. That’s a lot of people in the wee hours of the morning plus the commuter rush at night. These are folks staying off area roads converging on the Junction. We don’t want these riders giving up on the Dinky and joining the masses in cars and buses. With growth in Princeton University’s enrollment Princeton’s population has taken a small jump while West Windsor with its open space is spurting right along, adding to area congestion. There are two large multi-family projects in the works for Princeton Junction that are expected to contribute strongly to congestion in the area of the Junction Station. The Hughes Property on Route 1 at Quakerbridge (formally the American Cyanamid Property) is slated for development, and is expected to provide housing and office/retail space for thousands. Last September, the Hughes Corporation filed a lawsuit against West Windsor Township for not moving faster on approvals for the property. Imagine the congestion that is going to be added to the Route 1 corridor! We need the Dinky! In our horoscope is another interesting event, the shutdown of Alexander Street for the replacement of three bridges in a coordinated Mercer County-NJDOT project. Alexander Street will be closed for 4-5 months starting this fall. Taking the Dinky will provide the perfect opportunity for new riders headed to the Junction to skip detour gridlock. There is a lot of loyalty to the Dinky. Having been a commuter myself with a 3 hour and 20 minute commute (each way) that I endured daily for several years from Harrisburg to Center City Philly, I can tell you that what a commuter seeks is consistency and quiet first thing in the morning, and coffee. On that, the Dinky delivers. On Princeton University’s website it says that 57 percent of its employees are from Mercer County. That means that 43 percent are from outside Mercer County, a number of whom come in on the Dinky daily. The PTC retrofit is done. While NJT seems to be trying to squeeze in some deferred maintenance, enough is enough. We need the Dinky to resume service, NOW! KIP CHERRY Dempsey Avenue

Organic Recycling’s Last Pickup Jan. 30 Because Subscribers Ignored Warning

To the Editor: The Princeton organic recycling program’s last pickup will be on January 30, because the accepting farm kept finding too many non-organics, especially plastic, in the mix. There was a warning sent to all subscribers last fall which was not heeded, and the farm said NO MORE. Suggestion: If the pickup people look into a green can and see unacceptable material, they should just flip open the top and not collect the contents. (It would be nice if they could leave a sticker saying “Unacceptable” or “Refused,” but they are busy and wearing gloves.) Sometimes the trash is put out by people who are not the owners/managers and may not be able to communicate with them directly. However, if the recycling is not picked up, the message should get through. RUTH E. SCOTT Governors Lane

turies to the twilight impasse of January 2018: “You’re a madman, and if you were a madman in private, behind the doors of your madness, it wouldn’t be so bad, but you have the attribute of turning everyone who deals with you or talks to you into madmen and fools, too; if you don’t believe me, just look at these gentlemen who are accompanying you.” Comparing Windmills I was surprised to find that the windmill scene, one of the most celebrated and frequently referenced in literature, occupies only two pages of Grossman’s translation. The full-page Classics Comic image drawn by Louis Zansky hit me, at six, with the force of a once-in-a-lifetime view of a whole world waiting to be explored. Looking at it now, I can see that the power of the picture is in the vast orange Spanish sky looming above a vista of variously colored wind-mills receding into the distance. The first windmill, the one Don Quixote sees as “a monstrous giant,” is red with blue sails that become the giant’s mile-long arms. When the armored knight and Rosinante ride into battle, the giant’s arm knocks his helmet off, lifting him, horse and all, while Sancho Panza tries to grab hold of one of his boots, and they all come tumbling down. After that luminous v ision of the Spanish landscape, the action seemed little more than the usual slapstick cartoon chaos. The Classic Comic leaves out what the fallen knight says as he lies there unable to move, listening to Sancho’s I-told-you-so (“Didn’t I tell your grace ... that these were nothing but windmills?”): “I think, and therefore it is true, that the same Frestón the Wise who stole my room and my books has turned these giants into windmills in order to deprive me of the glory of defeating them.” To which Sancho replies, “God’s will be done.” Quixote’s “I think, therefore it’s true” is what Dostoevsky calls “a lie saved by a lie” in The Diary of a Writer, wherein he devotes a chapter to “the most magnanimous of all knights on earth” and “one of the greatest men in heart.” “Madness and Gladness” In his introduction to the Grossman

translation, Harold Bloom suggests that Melville blended Don Quixote and Hamlet in his creation of Captain Ahab, who “desires to avenge himself upon the white whale.” It makes sense: Quixote’s windmill is Ahab’s Moby-Dick. The “trump of judgment” I began with is from the chapter called “The Spirit Spout,” which surges between “the madness and gladness of the demoniac waves.” That the crew of the Pequod feels “no terror, rather pleasure” is because a whale has been sighted (“There she blows!”) on a moonlit night, “a most unwonted hour,” and “so impressive was the cry, and so deliriously exciting, that almost every soul on board desired a lowering.” The chapter ends with the first mate Starbuck’s vision of wind-blown Ahab sitting in his cabin, “the rain and half-melted sleet of the storm from which he had some time before emerged, still slowly dripping from the unremoved hat and coat”: “Never could Starbuck forget the old man’s aspect.... Though the body was erect, the head was thrown back so that the closed eyes were pointed toward the needle of the tell-tale that swung from a beam in the ceiling. Terrible old man! thought Starbuck with a shudder, sleeping in this gale, still steadfastly eyest thy purpose.” Ahab’s “purpose” leads to the sinking of the Pequod and the death of everyone on board except for Ishmael. Don Quixote, on the other hand, dies a sane, comfortable, confessional death, asking a weeping Sancho Panza’s forgiveness for making him “fall into the error into which I fell, thinking that there were and are knight errants in the world.” Wall Street Another variation of the T-word shows up in Melville’s The Confidence Man in reference to those Wall Street naysayers who “trump up their black panics ... solely with a view to some sort of covert advantage.” When “Bartleby the Scrivener” appeared in Putnam’s magazine, it was subtitled “A Tale of Wall-Street.” During a discussion of that Kafkaesque story in Melville, His World and Work (2005), Andrew Delbanco gives the man himself a cameo a decade before he declared his candidacy, referring to John Jacob Astor as “the Donald Trump of his day.” nother Melville biographer, Newton Arvin, writes of the total effect of “strangeness and even madness” in “Bartleby,” which reminds him of “some tale by Gogol or Dostoevsky” about “life in a Petersburg government bureau” that “creates in the midst of dinginess, an effect of wildness and terror.” Is the setting, Arvin wonders, “a Wall Street law office or the cosmic madhouse?” The Russians again! But better Gogol and Dostevsky than the puppeteer in the Kremlin. —Stuart Mitchner

ent style. Second violinist Reale provided a consistent drone against the other three players in Pärt’s string quartet Fratres. A Russian Orthodox composer living in a repressive political environment, Pärt infused this work with 14th-century compositional style and harmonics, as well as a hymn-like quality. Cellist Hong provided a pizzicato open fifth bridge between each “verse,” as the piece built in intensity and tonality, while the musicians effectively played somewhat starkly without vibrato. Juri Seo’s Lost Songs, scored for string quartet and clarinet, and receiving its world premiere in this concert, draws material from the breaths and songs of a now extinct bird from the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Against a light and airy string texture, clarinetist Allakhverdyan brought the music down to earth and found a touch of Gershwin in the solo line. Especially effective orchestration was heard in an echo conversation between Allakhverdyan and cellist Hong. Allakhverdyan had his share of technically difficult passages, all of which he maneuvered well. The musicians of the LA Philharmonic closed the concert with a sweet bit of musical dessert in Mozart’s Quintet in A Major for Clarinet and Strings. The players began the work as if they were outdoors at a Viennese serenade, with refreshments served on a cool night. Allakhverdyan demonstrated clean runs in the clarinet solo line from the outset, with clean accompaniment from the string quartet and an especially lean sound from Hong. Throughout the work, the ensemble effectively fell into cadences well, bringing out dynamic contrasts in the third movement menuetto. Allakhverdyan had no trouble filling the hall with his solo clarinet playing, and the players brought the work to a spirited close with a movement in which Mozart quoted shades of his previous Marriage of Figaro. ustavo Dudamel’s residency in P r inceton, div ided into t hree parts over this academic year, has brought performance and musical conversation to all corners of Princeton University’s campus, as well as the community, with collaborations among a number of area organizations and individuals. Dudamel speaks often of breaking down the walls of classical music, and of music as a human right. The Princeton community is clearly enjoying Dudamel’s “spirit of adventure” as he leaves his mark on the Princeton area cultural arena. —Nancy Plum

n the second installment of his yearlong residency through Princeton University Concerts, Los Angeles Philharmonic Music Director Gustavo Dudamel returned to Princeton last week for several days of music-making, panel discussions, and educational activities focusing on the theme “Music and Faith.” Bracketed by a master class with the El Sistema-inspired Trenton Music Makers Orchestra and panel discussions on music education and music’s role in social change, the keynote concert last Monday night in Richardson Auditorium featured musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Violinists Bing Wang and Rebecca Reale, violist Teng Li, cellist Ben Hong, and clarinetist Boris Allakhverdyan, joined by Princeton University pianist and faculty member Juri Seo, presented a concert featuring music of 20th-century Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, a world premiere of a piece by Seo, and a solid gold standard from the master of chamber music — Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Monday night’s sold-out concert was preceded by a “musical preview” by students of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), an initiative founded by Dudamel and also inspired by the Venezuelanbased El Sistema music pedagogy. Eleven instrumentalists from YOLA, including both current students and alumni, performed four chamber works, demonstrating both technical ability and self-assurance in performance. The musicians of YOLA blended together as an ensemble in whichever combination they were in, and particularly agile playing was heard from clarinetist Dameon Williams and oboist Alice Morales. The five musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic who performed Monday night no doubt came to Princeton at Dudamel’s invitation, but it is a rare treat for symphonic orchestra players to perform chamber music, and these instrumentalists clearly relished the opportunity. Violinist Wang and pianist Seo immediately drew the audience in with a performance of Arvo Pärt’s exquisite onemovement Spiegel im Spiegel (“Mirror in the Mirror”). The parallel mirrors of the title were reflected by sweet and supple violin lines, never played above a quiet dynamic level by Wang and Seo’s triadic piano accompaniment, like icy raindrops as she demonstrated a very gentle touch on the full range of the keyboard. The four string players returned later in the program to perform another of Pärt’s signature works, but one in a very differ-

Gustavo Dudamel will return to Princeton the week of April 22, 2019 for a series of concerts, panel discussions, and film screenings, as the third part of his residency focuses on “Exploring Art and Nature.” Information about residency activities can be found by visiting www.princetonuniversityconcerts.org.

Films Set in Florence Are Topic of Lecture

From the 1946 neorealist war drama Paisan to the 1985 cinematic version of E.M. Forster’s novel A Room with a View, and countless others, the city of Florence has served as a setting in films.

This program is the second Sunday of the month instead of the usual first.

Pascuzzi, who received his graduate degree from Rutgers Universit y, currently teaches English writing at the school. He has presented and published on a variety of topics, including Luchino Visconti’s film Morte a Venezia (Death in Venice) and the representation of reality in Cinema Novo and neorealism. He is the editor of the anthology Dreamscapes in Italian Cinema, published in 2015 by Fairleigh Dickinson University. The event is free and open to the public. Participants are encouraged to bring refreshments to share at the reception following the program.

D&R Greenway Presents “From a Child’s Perspective”

D & R Greenway Land Tr u s t ’s O l i v i a R a i n b o w Gallery presents “From a Child’s Perspective,” closeup nature photography by Tasha O’Neill, through February 7. The artist focused macro-lenses on rare minuscule plants and other species, giving D&R Greenway visitors the experience of the late Olivia Kuenne’s own enthusiasms outdoors. Whimsical titles add to the sense of having entered an enchanted forest. The Galler y was founded in this young artist’s memory. O’Neill discovered some of her subjects on guided walks with Jim Amon (former director of stewardship) on Greenway preserves. Some species were introduced on daylong photo -safaris in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens, with Princeton Photography Club fellow members. Others presented themselves to the artist near her summer home, close to Maine’s Acadia National Park. O’Neill’s art regularly appears in Princeton-area juried exhibitions. She was given a one-person exhibition of her Forest Bathing art, for D &R Greenway’s recent “Soul of a Tree.” O’Neill was also featured by NJ Audubon in April 2018. Her Golden Light, an apotheosis of w inter trees, is a highlight in D&R Greenway’s current “Lovely as a Tree.” Her Gifts from the Sea will appear at Merwick’s Millstone Gallery in Plainsboro from March 10 to May 9. Her Shapes of Water will adorn Princeton’s Nassau Club in November and December. O’Neill’s wreath of Maine seaweeds and mosses was included in the Princeton Magazine Holiday 2018 article featuring creative wreaths by local artists.

The artist grew up in Schweinfurt, Germany, where her family was dedicated to nature, in the home garden and that region’s diverse countryside. Almost weekly, her mother would take O’Neill and her brother to nearby mountains. “There we would walk; explore ; learn about wild plants and berries; and then nap in the meadow. With our faces so close to the flowers, the gentle buzzing of insects would lull us to sleep.” Of her searches for rarities, O’Neill says, “I seem to be drawn to the unusual. The tiniest plants compel me, as though I were still my child self. I am pleased that D&R Greenway invited me to share these images from the child’s perspective for Olivia’s Rainbow Gallery.” The Olivia Rainbow G aller y of D & R G reen way’s Johnson Education Center is located at One Preservation Place, Princeton. Admission is free. For more information, call (609) 924-4646 or visit www.drgreenway.org.

A Princeton tradition!

*The Westminster Foundation, Princeton, NJ, Inc. is an independent organization, and is not affiliated with Rider University or Westminster Choir College. In 1991, an affiliation was established between Rider College and Westminster Choir College. In a short time, both institutions benefited substantially from the partnership. Westminster quickly regained its stability as enrollment returned to historical levels, and the quality of its programs in music education and performance were strengthened by excellent additions to its faculty and administration. Through this affiliation, Rider College was able to become Rider University, which provided it with an additional level of prestige and stature in the world of higher education. Rider became widely known through this association as its name then appeared with Westminster’s in the Choir College’s numerous performances in the U.S. and abroad, including concerts with the world’s finest orchestras and conductors, and through Westminster’s many commercial recordings, several of which have received Grammy nominations. Furthermore, establishment of the Westminster College of the Arts in 2007 has added substantially to Rider’s student body at its Lawrenceville campus, bringing Rider significant tuition dollars each year. Rider’s current administration and trustees have presented plans that would reap tens of millions of dollars for Rider through the sale of Westminster assets. The lawsuits filed by individuals and the Princeton Theological Seminary are not hyperbolic attacks nor groundless scare tactics, but actions based upon the terms and conditions to which Rider agreed in its 1991 affiliation with Westminster, and based upon terms of the trust of Sophia Strong Taylor, who purchased the land upon which Westminster’s campus sits. In December 2016, Rider said that it would move Westminster’s operations to Rider’s campus in Lawrenceville, and sell Westminster’s home of nearly 90 years on 23 acres in Princeton. The announcement brought considerable interest from several parties anxious to participate in this apparent land-grab opportunity. Rider’s plan soon shifted to severing all ties to Westminster, by offering several options including a new affiliation with Westminster which gave Rider the prospect of pocketing an even heftier sum of $40,000,000 by essentially selling Westminster’s $19M endowment as an accompaniment to the sale of the campus. An affiliation that requires a direct payment is unprecedented in the academic not-for-profit world. At no time did Rider offer any college, university, conservatory, orchestra or other not-for-profit in the U.S. or abroad the opportunity to simply affiliate with Westminster without a direct payment, as Rider had done in 1991. Although Rider offered the opportunity to take Westminster’s programs to another location, thus allowing Rider to sell Westminster’s campus, Rider always demanded a substantial direct payment for any institution wishing to affiliate with Westminster while keeping the Choir College on its Princeton campus. In mid-February 2018, Rider announced the signing of a “Term Sheet” with BKET. The Westminster Foundation, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the New Jersey Attorney General’s office have repeatedly asked to see it, but it has never been revealed. Mystery also surrounds the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” which Rider announced in June 2018, and the “Commitment Letter” which was announced early last fall. Rider has been completely secretive regarding the terms of the proposed transaction with Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology (BKET), thus it is impossible for anyone who truly cares about the future of Westminster Choir College to support this deal. How soon might BKET be allowed to close the school and sell its campus? It might be seven years, five, two or perhaps one: only Rider and BKET know as the language of the signed agreements have been kept from the public eye as well as the eyes of New Jersey’s Attorney General’s office and licensing and accrediting officials. The absence of transparency regarding the contents of these important documents should also cause anyone who cares about Westminster to withhold support for this transaction. Fears that BKET could close Westminster’s campus, sell the property, and hijack the endowment, or transform Westminster into something other than a choir college, are stoked by Rider’s refusal to allow those who care about Westminster’s future to see the terms and conditions to which Rider has committed Westminster’s future. Furthermore, the structure of the deal is based upon the creation of a questionably structured not-for-profit U.S. subsidiary of BKET, a for-profit company under the control of the Chinese Government. Although we have received numerous offers of voluntary assistance in the management and operation of an independent Westminster, it has been impossible for the Foundation to make much progress toward that goal. Rider would never release Westminster’s endowment or its illegitimate title to the campus, so that leaves Rider’s administration and trustees with another viable alternative to the sham BKET “Solution on the Table.” They might want to consider the possibilities that embracing Westminster Choir College could bring to Rider University. Rider has a venerable history that dates from the closing days of the Civil War. Nevertheless, Westminster Choir College is the only Rider division that has ever achieved worldwide acclaim. Westminster’s name and renown have greatly benefited the Westminster College of the Arts program, and continue to do so. Rider claims that its financial difficulties are the basis for seeking to divorce Westminster. However, in the 2018 filing memorandum for Rider’s $42M bond issue, Rider averred that its finances were solid, and that Westminster was no burden upon Rider’s operations. It stated that the money being raised was not for operations, but strictly for capital improvements and the development of new educational offerings. Furthermore, Rider stated that its ability to make principal and interest payments related to the bond offering was in no way contingent upon the sale of Westminster Choir College. Indeed, Rider has recently sent a handsome publication to donors that celebrates its best year ever of fundraising. The Westminster Foundation, Princeton, NJ, Inc, concludes that those who care about the Choir College cannot support the Beijing Kaiwen proposal. However, a wonderful alternative is clear: a Rider administration and board of trustees that cherishes Rider University’s affiliation with Westminster Choir College, instead of raiding Westminster’s assets and tossing its future into unsafe hands. It is not too late for the Rider administration and trustees to change course and again open their arms to Westminster Choir College, which has provided inestimable benefits to Rider, the local communities, and the world of music education, choral music, and performance. In light of Molly O’Neil Frank’s enthusiastic support on these pages of the proposed deal with BKET, the Westminster Foundation cordially invites her and her colleagues on the Rider Board of Trustees to the next Westminster Foundation open public forum, along with senior members of the Rider administration, and Larry Livingston, who directs BKET’s U.S. acquisition subsidiary for Westminster.

CINEMA REVIEW

A Dog’s Way Home

Separated Pet Embarks on Perilous Journey in Heartwarming Adventure

ife has proven to be quite a challenge for Bella (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) right from the start. Soon after birth, the puppy was separated from her mother, though she was lucky enough to be nursed back to health by a stray cat. The lovable mutt eventually lands at an animal shelter, where receptionist Olivia (Alexandra Shipp) introduces her to a volunteer, Lucas (Jonah Hauer-King). Lucas decides to adopt Bella, hoping she might help lift the spirits of his mom Terri (Ashley Judd), a military veteran suffering from PTSD. Terri does take to the playful pooch, although she is subsequently threatened with eviction for violating her lease’s “no pets” provision. A further complication arrives when Denver’s dogcatcher (John Cassini) incorrectly labels mixedbreed Bella as a pit bull. He warns that a local ordinance allows him to euthanize any pit bull not on a leash in public. The plot thickens the day Bella impulsively leaps through a window to chase a squirrel down the street. She’s spotted and seized by Officer Chuck, who is eager to put her to sleep. But the hound’s life is spared thanks to a compromise whereby Bella is shipped to New Mexico to live with Olivia’s Uncle Jose (Darcy Laurie).

Unfortunately, Bella is miserable without Lucas and Terri, and it’s not long before she runs away, embarking on a 400mile journey home. That very eventful odyssey, marked by love, altruism, loyalty, unlikely liaisons, close brushes with death, and even a terrible tragedy (which might upset tykes), fuels the fire of A Dog’s Way Home, a touching tale directed by Charles Martin Smith (Air Bud). The movie is based on the novel of the same name by W. Bruce Cameron whose best-seller, A Dog’s Purpose, was successfully adapted to the screen a couple of years ago. Though not technically a sequel, this is another inspirational adventure narrated by an anthropomorphic canine. The sentimental storyline is designed to appeal to dog lovers of all ages. Don’t be surprised if you just can’t resist the transparent attempts to tug on your heartstrings, despite the fact that this is a flick which telegraphs it punches. Fairly formulaic, but it works. Very Good (H H H). Rated PG for peril, mild epithets. and mature themes. Running time: 97 minutes. Production Companies: Columbia Pictures/Pariah/Bona Film Group.

With Desrosiers Doing Dirty Work on the Boards, PU Men’s Hoops Sweeps Season Series with Penn

erome Desrosiers didn’t have a point, an assist, a block or a steal, but the Princeton University men’s basketball team wouldn’t have beaten Penn last weekend without him. The sophomore forward contributed nine rebounds to the Tigers’ staggering 5534 rebounding edge as they swept the season series with a 62-53 win over Penn last Saturday in Philadelphia before a crowd of 6,179 at The Palestra. “It feels great,” said Desrosiers. “They’re our rivals, so getting those two wins to start the year feels good. The guys are happy. We have the momentum going. We just want to keep it going.” Sustaining the momentum off the 2-0 start to Ivy League play and fourth straight win overall will have to wait, however, until Princeton comes off its exam break. The Tigers are on their annual hiatus for fall semester exams and will next be in action on January 27 when they host Division III foe Wesley in their final non-conference game of the season. “Our group is coming together at the right time,” said Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson after the Tigers improved to 9-5 overall. “We came together at the right time. These games, they weren’t that pretty but they were very intense.” After edging Penn 68-65 in overtime at Jadwin Gym on January 5, Princeton had to do it all again on the road a week later. The travel partners were tied at halftime, 27-27, and it was still a tight 50-47 game when the Tigers pulled away thanks to a late 10-3 run. “We were ready,” said Desrosiers. “We were ready to take every punch they had. It was actually a lot of fun. It

was good to hear how quiet the crowd got when we won.” The Tigers silenced the Penn crowd with some timely defense, clutch free throw shooting, and important rebounding. Senior guard Devin Cannady led Princeton with 20 points to move into the top five in Princeton program history, and added a career-high 12 rebounds. Junior center Richmond Aririguzoh continued his steady development with 17 points and nine rebounds, and senior guard Myles Stephens had 13 points and 10 rebounds. It’s the fourth time in five years that Princeton has swept Penn. “It’s really hard to win there,” said Henderson. “When you know everybody so well, it comes down to a senior, veteran week. Myles, Devin and Richmond made contributions to be successful. The senior leadership has been terrific. The group is really focused on winning.” Cannady and Stephens gave Princeton two players with double-doubles, and Aririguzoh and Desrosiers were a rebound apiece away from giving the Tigers four players with double-digit rebounds. “Coach has been putting an emphasis on rebounding,” said Desrosiers. “In the beginning of the year, we weren’t good and we were getting outrebounded a lot, especially out of conference. I think it’s all a mindset. You know you can get them. It’s almost turned into a competition. Myles against Penn at home got 16 rebounds. We’re trying to beat that individually. Me, Devin, and Rich, we’re trying to beat him in games. It’s like a competition within a competition. It’s actually fun.” The 6’2 Cannady is the one outlier in the group. Shooting guards aren’t expected to

get double-digit rebounds, but he’s been a regular rebounder at both ends. “He’s possessed the way he’s rebounding,” said Henderson. “When I was at Northwestern, we had a guy, Tim Young, who was an incredible rebounding guard. Devin has been possessed. It helps when one of your best shooters gets rebounds, it tends to get the ball up the court quickly.” Princeton is rebounding well as a team recently, and Desrosiers, a 6’7, 230-pound native of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, has been contributing even more since moving into the starting lineup after Christmas. He had 16 points and nine rebounds in the 6766 upset of Arizona State on December 29, then had 10 points and five rebounds in the first win over Penn before coming through with two offensive rebounds and seven defensive boards at Penn. “We made a big point to him that he’s got to get rebounds for us,” said Henderson of Derosiers, who is averaging 4.2 boards a game this season, up from 2.7 last winter. “He’s another guy who’s been rebounding possessed. He’s getting them above the rim with two hands. Jerome is going to have great games for us on the offensive end.” Desrosiers had 10 starts as a freshman, and has found himself back in the starting lineup in the last two weeks. He’s using his experience to contribute more, and expects to be able to help the Tigers navigate the grind of the Ivies. “The first time you play in the Ivy League, you don’t know what to expect,” said Desrosiers, who has five starts so far this winter. “It’s kind of stressful. You don’t know the players and it’s hard to know who does what. Now I know the players and what they do and it gives me a little advantage. I know I can put more focus on my offense. Now that I know how the teams are and who the best players on the team are, it takes a little stress off me.” Desrosiers gained momentum coming out of last season with starts on the final weekend and picked up his scoring with double-digit output in his final three games of his freshman year. He showed promise with a shooting percentage of .416 from 3-point range as a freshman, good for seventh overall in the Ivies. “Last year my 3-pointer got a lot better from high school,” said Desrosiers. “This year is a lot more about finishing around the rim with both hands. There’s

also the defensive end where I have to be able to guard from the 2 to the 5, so I can be on the court and guard anybody at anytime. It’s one of the big improvements that I’ve tried to do, so it’s worked out well.” Princeton hopes to improve its team shooting after the break as it is shooting 40.1 percent from the floor, which would be the lowest shooting percentage for the program since the 2006-2007 Tigers shot 41 percent. “I know we’re a good shooting team,” said Henderson. “I think we have the best shooter in the country in Devin. I’m proud that our defense is where it is. I tend to think good defense leads to better offensive possession. Jaelin [Llewellyn] started back with us in the middle of December, so it’s been less than a month ago. Our ability to grow together will be a factor in our offensive growth. We have a lot of weapons.” The Tigers’ rebounding and defense has helped to overcome some poor shooting. Princeton limited Penn to 33 percent shooting, including 2-for-8 down the stretch as they pulled away for the season sweep heading into exams. “None of us wanted the break like that,” said Desrosiers. “We wanted to keep going, but we can’t because of exams. Whenever we have free time or want some time off from studying, we’ll come down to the gym and have some workouts with the coaches. Lifting hasn’t stopped. We have to stay in shape. Every day you have to make sure you run a little, get your legs moving. And shooting, that gets done during the workouts. Whenever you

need a break, you come down to the gym and do something. You keep your heart going.” Earning the two tight wins over Penn was heart-stopping at times but surviving the nail-biters has the squad in good position over the 12 remaining conference games to make the top four in the standings and earn a spot in the Ivy League postseason tournament. “We’re all feeling pretty

good,” said Desrosiers of the Tigers, who resume Ivy action when they play at Columbia on February 1. “We just want to get finals over with. For me, I’m happy and the studying isn’t as hard. When you lose, everything is so much harder. With a win, it feels great. Everything is a lot more fun and less stressful. We’re at a good place now and we want to stay there.” —Justin Feil

As the Princeton University men’s hockey team prepared to host Harvard last Friday, Ron Fogarty decided to shake things up. “We switched up lines a little bit,” said Princeton head coach Fogarty, whose team was looking to snap an 11-game winless streak against Harvard. “It made them not assume. It was just ‘do your job and make sure that the plays were there when making them.’” The shuffling ended up separating senior forward Alex Riche from his usual partners, classmates Ryan Kuffner and Max Veronneau. Riche saw the change as a spark. “We shifted lines at the beginning of the week and I think all four lines were going this week,” said Riche, a 6’0, 190-pound native of Oakville, Ontario. “There was some good chemistry for all four lines.” Kuffner, for his part, was primed to take care of business, no matter who was on the ice with him. “We all knew that we have to play for the guys next to us,” said the 6’1, 195-pound Kuffner, who hails from Ottawa, Ontario. “Whoever that is on a given night, we just know that we have to do our job and the guy next to us is doing their job.” With the rivals knotted at 2-2 heading into third period, the two seniors did the job for the Tigers. Riche notched a power play goal at the 1:07 mark to give Princeton a 3-2 lead and Kuffner buried an empty net goal with 1:08 left in the game to seal the deal in a 4-2 win, giving the Tigers their first triumph over the Crimson since a 2-1 win in March 2013. In reflecting on his tally, Riche said it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time. “Max just put it to the net and the puck was bouncing,” recalled Riche, reflecting on his fifth goal of the season and 20th of his college career. “Luckily I got decent wood on it when I swung and it found its way in. I take them however I can get them.” Kuffner, who had come up empty in his four previous shots on goal in the contest, was thrilled to put the finishing touch on the win as he notched his 13th goal of the season. “I had a few shots that I t r ie d to go h igh t hat sk im med h is shou lders ; maybe I should have shot it on a different place,” said Kuffner, who how has 66 career goals, one short of the program record held of 67 by John Cook ’63. “It was nice to score but more importantly to just get the insurance goal. We finally got the job done at the end.” Finally getting the job done against Harvard was sweet for the Tigers. “O u r cl a s s h a s n e ve r beaten Harvard, so that was good to get the monkey off the back,” said Riche. “C o m i n g i n a f te r t h e Christmas break, we want to make a good push going into the ECAC games and hopefully secure home ice.

We want to finish as high as possible.” Fogarty savored the first win over the Crimson in his Princeton tenure. “We let the team decide what their goals were for tonight’s game and it was to play for each other and to play for 60,” said Fogarty, who is in his fifth season guiding the Tigers. “They gave themselves a seven out of 10 for 60 minutes. I don’t think that they

felt the first eight minutes was good but it feels really good to knock off Harvard for the first time in five years.” It also felt good for the Tigers to come through in a close contest. “We played well ; I thought it was a great hockey game,” added Fogarty, whose team didn’t play well a night later, falling 5-0 to Dartmouth to move to 6-11-2 overall and 4-7-1 ECAC Hockey and is cur-

rently on exam hiatus and will return to action when it plays at St. Lawrence on February 1. “We hadn’t been rewarded for the similar type of game we have been playing. We had some good goals, some power play goals, and the second unit got one. Alex Riche had a strong game.” In Fogarty’s view, the Tigers are posed for a strong finish. “Every win is a big win for the team,” said Fogarty. “We have been playing well, we just haven’t been rewarded. It is very eerie, similar to last year with how it has been going. We know

it is going to break and it finally broke here tonight.” Kuffner is determined to make the most of his final year with the program, on and off the ice. “It is kind of sad every time people bring it up; it is the end and it means we have to enjoy it that much more, every single day coming to the rink with these

guys,” said Kuffner. “We play and work together everyday. We eat meals together. We are not ever going to have that again, this kind of atmosphere. So the last few months are going to be really special, to spend it with these guys and do everything we can to get some wins.” —Bill Alden

performances, the Princeton University women’s track team excelled at the Navy Invitational last Saturday in Annapolis, Md. Three Princeton runners set personal records in the 1,000-meter event, highlighted by senior Anna Jurew (2:47.14) posting the second quickest time in program history. Jurew, Alie Fordyce (2:48.17), and Sophie Cantine (2:48.71) placed second, third, and fourth in the event. It was a personal-best for each runner while Jurew moves into second all-time at Princeton while Fordyce is now third and Cantine fifth. Freshman Isabella Hildtich won the 60 hurdles with a time of 8.63, good for the fourth fastest time in program history. Sophomore Katie DiFrancesco (24.51) and Hilditch (24.93) were 1-2 in the 200 dash. DiFrancesco’s time puts her fourth among Princeton indoor runners while Hilditch is ninth all-time.

PU Men’s Lax Alums Make Halls of Fame

Princeton University men’s lacrosse alums Josh Sims, Wick Sollers, Jeff MacBean, and Kurt Lunkenheimer have all been selected to US Lacrosse Chapter Halls of Fame.

Sollers, who is being inducted into the Greater B a lt i m or e c h apte r, i s a 1977 Princeton grad who was a t hree -time A ll- Iv y League and three-time All-America selection. His 114 career goals and 174 career points were bot h s chool records when he g r a d u ate d , a n d h e s t i l l ranks ninth all-time in points and seventh in goals in program history. Josh Sims, a 2000 grad, is being inducted into the Chesapeake chapter. His storied career was highlighted by three first-team All-America selections, two MacLaughlin Awards as the nation’s top midfielder, two NCAA championships, three NCAA championship game appearances, 141 career points, 103 goals (the most at the time by a Tiger middie and still second among middies and 11th all-time) and an NCAA Top VI Award at Princeton and then two championships in both the NLL and Major League Lacrosse. He was a five-time MLL all-star, and he finished his pro outdoor career with 225 points.

Jeff MacBean, a 1996 graduate, is being inducted into the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter. MacBean was a two-time All-Ivy League selection and a two-time AllAmerica as a middie, and his biggest moment at Princeton came when he assisted on the game-winning goal in overtime in the 1994 NCAA championship game. He was also a member of Princeton’s 1996 NCAA championship team. Kur t Lu n ken heimer, a 1999 grad, is also entering the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter. Lunkenheimer was a four-time All-Ivy League selection and three-time AllAmerica as a defender and a starter on the 1996, 1997 and 1998 NCAA championships teams. Internationally, he was an All-World selection at the 1996 World U19 Games after helping the U.S. team to gold. He also played in Major League Lacrosse with the Boston Cannons during the league’s first season in 2001. Only members of a chapter Hall of Fame are eligible for the national US Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

As the Princeton High girls’ basketball team hosted Hightstown last week, it didn’t waste any time setting the tone. Excelling at both ends of the court, PHS jumped out to an 11-0 lead in the January 8 contest. “I don’t think we played our best on Saturday against New Egypt (a 32-13 win on January 5) so coming in we thought we were just going to put our best foot forward,” said PHS senior forward and team co-captain Erin Devine. “We wanted to get going in the beginning to get momentum and keep going from there. We definitely wanted to get to the line more this game and we wanted to get layups.” The Lit tle Tigers built a 31-9 halftime lead and weathered a brief Hightstown rally to pull away to a 46-21 victory. “They definitely had a run in the third quarter,” said Devine.“We pulled it back together at the end and we were able to finish the game strong.” Devine produced a strong performance against Hightstown, ending with a gamehigh 14 points along with 12 rebounds. “My teammates did a great job of finding me,” said Devine. “Olivia [Intartaglia] had some great penetration. It is a lot easier to shoot when your teammates draw the other defenders.” The team’s multi-faceted attack makes it hard to de-

fend. “We have a lot of versatility,” asserted Devine, who scored 17 points as PHS fell 40-37 to Hillsborough last Saturday and moved to 8-3. “Catherine [Dyevich] is really hard to guard; she is so dominant inside but she can also pull out for the three. Anna and Olivia [ Intartaglia], the twins, do a great job of getting to the basket. Anna is a phenomenal shooter. Shaylah [Marciano] finds people, she can come down the floor, really push it, and hit the girl running down the court.” PHS head coach Dave Kosa sees the squad’s unselfish play as a key strength. “We do a really good job of sharing the ball,” said Kosa. “We are definitely getting the best shot possible for us. We have five girls who can put the ball in the basket.” T he of fensive balance helped the Little Tigers put Hightstown on its heels from the opening tip-off. “We definitely wanted to come out and play really hard; I thought we did that and we played smart,” said Kosa. “We got the ball moving around. We definitely played inside-out today which helps us because if we can score inside, it really opens up our outside shooting.” Devine’s inside-out game has helped trigger the PHS offense this winter. “Erin has been working hard, she has really been working on her shot,” said Kosa.

“She is a tough g uard because she can take the ball off the dribble and go inside and she can also knock down outside shots because normally they have a four or a five playing her. In most cases, we can get a mismatch with Cat or Erin. So were looking for that today and she capitalized on that.” Even if shots aren’t falling, the team’s defensive intensity keeps the Little Tigers competitive. “We just continue wanting to play great defense,” said Kosa. “In the last couple of games; against Steinert, we gave up 31 (a 42-31 win on January 4), against New Egypt, it was 13, and today was 21. We are on a good roll defensively. That is going to keep us in ballgames. That is what we rely on.” With PHS off to an 8-3 start, Kosa is hoping his players can keep rolling. “We are play ing good team ball,” said Kosa, whose squad plays at Allentown on January 18 and at Nottingham on January 22. “We have b e en bat t le -te s te d with Steinert twice and the Hopewell game to start out with. It is turning out really well for us the first part of the season.” Devine, for her part, believes that team’s chemistry has been a main factor underlying its good start. “We have been playing with each other for so long, we know where everyone is,” said Devine. “We all have the same mentality that we want to win this year and that really helps us.” —Bill Alden

Although Winter Season has Been Challenging, PHS Track Looking for Success in County Meet It has been a rough ride for the Princeton High track program so far this winter. The boys’ team has been hit with the injury bug, with such star performers as Nils Wildberg, Acasio Pinheiro, and Matt Perello currently sidelined. While that has made the squad less formidable in the short term, it could have long range benefits. “It has given a chance for our younger guys to step into the void and get some really good experience, which actually has been a silver lining,” said PHS head coach Ben Samara. A trio of sophomores, Colin McCafferty, Matt Erlichson, and Jacob Bornstein, have helped fill that void. “The young distance guys, Colin, Matt, and Jacob all ran real great races over the weekend in the 4x800 and the distance medley,” said Samara, whose team competed in the Lavino Relays at the Lawrenceville School last Saturday. “They have really been able to get experience that maybe they would not have gotten before because we would have brought an A relay. I think that is going to pay dividends in the future.”

Senior star Tucker Zullo has been a great mentor for the younger runners. “Tucker is stepping up time and time again and really doing some great things,” said Samara. “We have had him lead off the distance medley relay in the 1,200 two meets in a row now and he has ran great legs both times. He is looking in great form. He is really developed himself, both physically and mentally as an athlete. He is such a great team leader. To put him in the relays with those younger guys, he sets such a great example for them.” Two of the team’s veteran athletes, senior Paul Brennan and junior Simon Schenk, excelled at the Lavino meet as Brennan won the shot put while Schenk took second in the pole vault. “Paul is consistently in the 54-foot range now in the shot which is light years ahead of where he was last year,” said Samara. “He has some real big things coming. Simon is another one who is coming off injury. He is working his way back again. It was only his second meet back and he jumped 13’6 so it was

pretty good. He will be right where he needs to be by states time.” With PHS competing in the State Relays on January 19 and the county meet from January 25-26, Samara thinks his shorthanded squad can still be formidable. “We are going to make our best effort for the county meet,” asserted Samara. “You never know, you don’t know what the other teams are going to have. We going to throw some of the guys we have into events and see if we can’t make something happen.” As the boys have been dealing with injuries, good things have been happening for the girls’ team so far this season. “The girls have provided a lot of excitement for us early in the season, particularly in the sprints,” said Samara. “Colleen Linko has really been coming through both on the track and as a captain. She is really doing a great job as a junior. The girls’ 4x200 finished third on Saturday and the sprint medley relay with Siena Moran was able to take home first so they are doing great.” Looking ahead to the county meet, Samara believes his sprinters can come through. “Specifically we will target that 4x400, we have won five of last six indoor/outdoor 4x400 titles, we want that streak to continue for sure,” added Samara. “That is something we take a lot of pride in. Once you get a streak like that, you want to keep it going. The girls are aware of it and it is something they are definitely targeting. We have the potential to score two or three girls in the 200 and the 400 as well.” No matter how the PHS teams score at the county meet, Samara believes his athletes will go hard. “I think on the boys’ and girls side, we are going to walk away with multiple county titles and a lot of good experience for the rest of the season, which is really the ultimate goal,” said Samara. —Bill Alden

He is definitely the leader back there and I think kids look to him and we as coaches look to him to carry the play and be the guy we can count on.” B e r tol i l i ke d t h e w ay his team carried the play against Hill after its shaky start. “I thought we got significantly better through the end of the first period, especially in the second period and even for parts of the third,” said Bertoli. “We were hanging on and probably a little tired in the third. I thought they had a little more of the play in the third. I thought we started that overtime well and then we got that 4-on-3.” The Panthers got a terrific effort from sophomore goalie David Lee against Hill as he made 26 saves. “David was outstanding; we have had solid play in net both from David and Jeremy [Siegel] all year,” said Bertoli. “ D av e w a s g r e a t . H e kept us in the first threefour minutes of the game. He made some huge stops midway through the third

period. He looks good, he has grown up a lot since last year, both physically and mentally. I am really happy with where we are, having two guys you can put in any situation and be confident in.” Bertoli was happy with his squad’s defensive effort collectively as it held the fort. “We did a good job of clear ing t he f ront when pucks came from the perimeter,” said Bertoli. “We didn’t get outnumbered at the net. We are not a really big team so we have to work to outnumber teams because in situations on 50/50 pucks, we are giving up size, strength, and weight.” T he Panthers, though, need to do a better job at the offensive end. “We have

talked about it for a couple of weeks now, we have got to find ways to score goals against better teams,” said Bertoli, whose squad broke through with a big offensive performance last Monday as it topped Bishop Eustace 10-1 to improve to 9-7-1. “There is an emphasis at practice at scoring goals and bearing down and being ready to bury chances. We had plenty of opportunities tonight.” In Bertoli’s view, PDS has the opportunity to contend for the MAHL title, which will will be decided by a postseason tournament involving the top four teams in the standings. “As far as the league goes, we are still in a really good spot,” said Bertoli, whose team has two non-league

At the end of the day, one of our goals is to be in the top four but I would much prefer to play at home so this is still very much in play.” Hamlett, for his part, believes the Panthers are in a good spot after their effort against Hill. “I think the positivity is that we went almost 60 minutes against a really good hockey team that has beaten some really good teams this year,” said Hamlett. “That shows we can play with them.” —Bill Alden

Jada Jones knows that she has to be the offensive catalyst for the Hun School girls’ basketball team. “If my shot is not falling, it is hard,” said Hun senior guard and two-time team captain Jones. “I try to make sure that everyone is involved. You feel better when you are scoring.” Last Saturday again visiting Mercersburg Academy (Pa.), Hun fell behind 10-6 and Jones started hitting shots, tallying eight points in the second quarter as the Raiders found themselves down 23-18 at the half. Jones chipped in seven points in the third and hit a bucket early in the fourth to draw Hun to within 36-34. But the Blue Storm responded with an 11-1 run to pull away to 51-42 win. “It has been a long week for us, we have been having games back to back,” said the 5’8 Jones, who ended up with 18 points in the game as the Raiders dropped to 3-7. “It was a rough one ; I think we came out a little bit flat. If we would have started off with a better first quarter showing, it would not have been so bad.” The Raiders showed their battling spirit as they kept pushing to the final horn despite a double-digit deficit. “It is just something in us,” said Jones. “We are going to play hard no matter what, even we were down 51-40 something we were still playing,” Playing hard over the last

three years for Hun has Jones on the verge of a special milestone as she ended the Mercersburg game with 989 points in her h igh school career. “For me, it is a great thing especially since I would be the first one since 2007 at Hun,” said Jones, referring to Emily Gratch, who followed up her superb Hun career by starring for the Lehigh women’s hoops program. “That is something that everyone wants to do but not everyone can.” As Jones heads down the stretch of her Hun career,

she is determined to keep everybody on track. “Basketball is not the main sport for many of us, only for a couple; so it is ‘OK we are here, we have to make the best of it,’” said Jones, who will to help Hun pick up some wins as it plays at Hightstown on January 16, host Freire Charter School (Pa.) on January 17, play at Hopewell Valley on January 19 and host Nottingham on January 21. “We are going to play hard, we are going to have a little fun with it but we are also going to be serious about it. There is going to be a balance.” —Bill Alden

JUNCTION BARBER SHOP

Gunnarsson Bringing Energy, Upbeat Mentality As Hun Boys’ Hoops Aims to Get on Right Track It hasn’t been easy for Liam Gunnarsson to get on the court this winter in his first season with the Hun School boys’ basketball team. The junior transfer guard, who previously played for Glen Ridge High, was sidelined for the first 10 games of the season due to back and rib problems. As Gunnarsson prepared for his return to action, practicing with his new teammates helped get him up to speed. “With how deep we are and how talented we are, I see a lot of improvement in myself,” said the 6’1 Gunnarsson. “I work every day in practice to be able to perform with the best of the best.” With Hun hosting Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) last Saturday and trailing 14-9 heading into the second quarter, Gunnarsson came on with the team’s second unit. The backups gave Hun momentum, going on a 12-2 run as the Raiders forged ahead 2116 late in the second quarter before the starters returned. “That is our job, we come in to give energ y,” said Gunnarsson, who drained a jumper during the rally. “That energy and positive attitude results in us performing well as a team together.” After hitting a three-pointer in the third quarter during another stint with the second five, Gunnarsson joined the starting unit with 3:33 left in regulation. He ended up making a key bucket to knot the contest at 51-51 game but Hun faltered down the

s t r e tch as M e r c e r s b u r g pulled out a 55-54 win. “I saw an opportunity, my teammates were swinging the ball,” said Gunnarsson, recalling his fourth quarter tally. “We played for each other and we played in the moment. That resulted in me getting a big shot. We fell a little short but we gave our best effort.” Although Gunnarsson was disappointed by the outcome, he is relishing the opportunity to play at Hun. “I love this school: it is fantastic, it is everything I was looking for,” said Gunnarsson, who ended up with seven points in the defeat as the Raiders dropped to 5-7. “I am extremely happy to play here. My coach [Jon Stone] knows a lot of colleges and the more we win, the more colleges show up. That is the plan.” Gunnarsson plans to be a spark for the Raiders down

the stretch. “I believe if I go on the court and produce and bring my energy, that will result in the team playing extremely well,” said Gunnarsson. With Hun having posted three straight losses in the wake of the setback to Mercersburg and hosting Life Center Academy on January 17 and West Nottingham Academy (Md.) on January 19, Gunnarsson believes that the squad needs to be unified to get on the winning track. “Togetherness is the biggest thing; when you work together, you are unstoppable,” said Gunnarsson. “We need to come together and really evaluate what we could have done better in the game, what we did well, and build on both on both of those things so we can become unstoppable. Regardless of the things that happen and the small mistakes, you always need to have your chin up because attitude is everything.” —Bill Alden

During his time in Korea, Scott was listed as Missing in Action while engaged in fighting as one of the "Chosin Few." Scott was a highly-decorated veteran of the USMC, receiving the bronze star and three purple hearts. After returning from Korea, Scott worked for his father’s company, Blomeley Engineering, in New York.

Scott was an active member of the Princeton community; volunteering to coach JFL, serving on the First Aid and Rescue Squad, Princeton and Kingston Fire Districts, and helping start an "Up with People" group. In 1974, Scott moved his family to Sullivan, Illinois. He worked as a pipe fitter at Clinton Power Plant until his retirement.

He and his wife, Jane, also enjoyed helping at Shelby County Community Services. He was an active member of the VFW, DAV, KWVA, American Legion, and the Marine Corps League.

She reveled in her Hungarian heritage and loved Nora and Edina Ban, daughters of Tomas Ban and Ildiko Rosz, as if they were her grandchildren. Mary insisted on seeing the best in everyone. This served her well when, in her 70s, her memory failed to keep up with her very stubborn determination to chart her own course. Her many admirers — including a 10 -member team from Pr incetonUMC, t he Ban family, social workers at Princeton Senior Resource Center, and Palmer Square staff — rallied to help with all aspects of daily life so that a charming elder could stay independent for as long as she could. Then she was cared for in her brother’s Long Island home before transitioning to a senior living facility. Predeceased by her parents, Anna and John Balogh, and her brother, John Balogh Jr., she is survived by her nephew (John Frank Balogh), her niece ( Nancy Ann Balogh) and Margaret Krach ( Nancy’s wife, who cared for Mary in her later years), and also her special friends, Tomas Ban and Ildiko Rosz. A memorial service will be at Princeton United Methodist Church, 7 Vandeventer Avenue, on Monday, January 21, at 1 p.m. Everyone who knew Mary is invited to this celebration of her life and to a reception afterward.

Lynne (Lyn) Marcia Ransom Lynne (Lyn) Marcia Ransom of Hopewell Township, a lifelong musician and composer whose spunk, generosity, and intellect transcended genres and generations, stepped down from the conductor’s podium on December 14, 2018, at age 71. Lyn was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., and raised in Martinsville, Ind., where her family nurtured in her a love for music and education. A graduate of Oberlin College, she followed her passions wherever they led, including teaching at universities, writing early childhood curriculum for the HighScope Foundation, directing music at the Princeton United Methodist Church, and hitchhiking to India, where she studied sitar for a year with Vilayat Kahn. Lyn later earned graduate degrees at Eastern Michigan University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Cincinnati, where she received a Doctor of Musical Arts in conducting. In 1987, Ly n fou nded

Voices Chorale, a Princetonarea ensemble that toured Europe t hree times and premiered dozens of new works. She also served as a guest conductor throughout the region. In 1992, Lyn was honored by the Princeton, N.J. Arts Council for her outstanding contributions to the area’s cultural life and in 2007 by the YWCA Tribute to Women. In 2017, Chorus America awarded its Education and Community Engagement Award to Voices, citing how it “exemplifies the highest commitment to education and outreach programs.” Unique among these is Lyn’s Young Composers Project in which over 500 elementary school children have created compositions and heard them performed by Voices. After three decades as artistic director, Lyn celebrated her retirement as she conducted the Voices Chorale and full orchestra in a stirring performance of Johannes Brahms’ “A German Requiem.” In 1998, Lyn began working with Music Together, the internationally acclaimed early childhood music program, first directing their lab school, then teacher training and certification, and finally co-authoring an adaptation for preschool. Lyn’s work has touched millions of children around the world through this program — which she got to experience first-hand as a grandma! Diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2005, Lyn’s creative response was key to her ongoing recovery: she began composing “Cancer Coping Songs,” using humor and music for alleviation.

Even after the cancer returned in 2014, Lyn thrived for years, writing and performing more Cancer Coping Songs, conducting major works with Voices, and being a loving wife, mother, sister and grandmother. She died peacefully in her home, with her husband at her side. Predeceased by her parents, Hugh Wrislar and Audrey Faye (Banta) Ransom, Lyn is survived by her husband, Kenneth K. Guilmartin; her son, Coray Seifert and his wife, Katie; her daughter, Sophia Seifert and her husband, Dan Lopez-Braus; her stepdaughter, Lauren Kells Guilmartin and her husband, James Barry; her grandchildren, Jackson and Alicia Seifert; her sister, Gail Sandra Ransom; her sister, Janice (Ransom) Kerchner and her husband, Jim Kerchner; and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, January 26, 2019, at 2 p.m., at Trinity Church in Princeton, NJ, located at 33 Mercer Street. Contributions designated for the Young Composers Project Fund may be made to Voices Chorale NJ.

INTEREST RATE CHANGES Both Sellers and Buyers are benefiting from the continued low interest rates. Low interest rates make home buying more affordable and keeps mortgage payments down. That is good motivation for buyers to put an offer in on that special property before rates go back up. This is a win/ win scenario for both the buyer and seller. The current federal funds rate rose to 2.5 percent when the Federal Open Market Committee met on December 19, 2018. Despite this, mortgage rates slid down to 4.625% (4.797% APR) for a 30 year fixed loan. That's down from a nearly nine-year high of 4.94% in November. Even a single percentage point rise in mortgage rates can add more than $100 a month to a home. And unfortunately for buyers, that little rise can turn into extra tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a 30-year, fixed -rate loan.

JUST WHAT YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Everyone seems to be asking for a one level, centrally located, charming house in Princeton. Well, here it is! This lovely ranch is close to the University, Riverside School, and Lake Carnegie. A few blocks from Nassau Street and Town, it has easy access to both the Dinky and the bus to Manhattan. Built of brick and wood, it has been lovingly maintained by its current owner, as is evidenced by the gleaming oak floors and white walls. Built by Bucci, the quality speaks for itself. Three bedrooms, two full baths and an eat-in kitchen make living easy, and the formal dining room and living room are oversized, providing extraordinary flexibility in entertaining. Large picture window in the living room brings in wonderful natural light, and the sliding doors from the dining room to the wood deck give you all the privacy you could want. How pleasant it will be to sit on your deck on a warm spring day. There is also an enclosed porch for casual summer dining. A full basement and two-car garage complete this pretty picture. Many happy memories have been created in this home, and it is now waiting for a new occupant to continue the tradition! $650,000
