Eisgruber, Microsoft Urge Congress Action On DACA DREAMers

Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber and Microsoft President Bradford L. Smith have teamed up to send letters to top leaders and other members of Congress urging them to act quickly to provide long-term protection, including a path to citizenship, for DREAMers. “The time has come for immediate and urgent action by Congress,” wrote Eisgruber and Smith, as the future of DREAMers hangs in the balance against a backdrop of ongoing negotiations on Capitol Hill and President Trump’s Sunday tweet that “DACA is probably dead because the Democrats don’t really want it.” In the 47 letters sent to New Jersey and Washington state delegations, leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives, Princeton alumni in Congress, and others, Eisgruber and Smith continued, “Princeton and Microsoft have joined together on behalf of recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program because we see vividly and personally how much they have to offer. At Princeton, DACA recipients are among our most accomplished and respected students, and at Microsoft they serve in critical roles and make countless contributions to our company. These young people deserve the opportunity not only to remain in the United States, which for many is the only home they have known, but to be reassured that their devotion to this country is welcomed and valued.” Last week, following the temporary nationwide injunction blocking the Trump administration’s decision to end the DACA program, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12) met with New Jersey DACA recipients and released the following statement: “This recent court decision is not a real solution; the only real relief they will get will be from legislation passed by Congress and signed by the president. In both chambers of Congress, there is clear support for the DREAM Act — it must be brought up for a vote and with the progress that DACA initiated, we must work toward comprehensive immigration reform that ensures the American dream continues to be attainable for all.” Coleman described the DREAMers as “an essential thread in the fabric of our nation.” According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, New Jersey had 22,024 DACA recipients through March Continued on Page 8

Leaders Make Plans To Counteract Tax Bill Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert is taking a close look at a plan to counteract the loss of state and local tax deductions due to the tax bill passed by Congress last month. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-5) and new Governor Phil Murphy have offered a tax cut plan for New Jersey that has the potential to restore the value of state and local tax (SALT) deductions by providing a tax credit for taxpayers who make charitable contributions to their state or local governments. Congressman Bill Pascrell (D-9) and the mayors of Fair Lawn, Paramus, and Park Ridge have also expressed support for the plan and the desire to implement it, with state support, in their communities. According to Gottheimer’s January 5 statement, states and local governments could establish or support funds that pay for local services, including schools, law enforcement, and infrastructure. Taxpayers could make contributions to these funds and receive an offsetting tax credit. The Republican tax bill passed last month in Congress caps deductions at $10,000 for state and local taxes, but the Gottheimer-Murphy plan would restore the benefit of additional deductions for taxpayers who itemize.

“I applaud the towns that are putting themselves out there and thinking creatively,” said Lempert. “I’m glad to see our new governor being outspoken on the issue, and I’m glad to see cooperation with California and New York and other states that are being unfairly targeted. We’re ready and willing to act when there’s a clear path on how we can best advocate for our residents.” She continued, “We need to be thinking creatively and doing everything we can to

make sure we’re being treated fairly, but I also want to proceed cautiously where we don’t encourage residents to participate in a program that is then deemed not viable.” As far as setting up a charity fund to counteract tax payments, she noted that “the jury is still out on whether that’s going to pass muster with the IRS.” Lempert has been in communication with the New Jersey League of Municipalities, whose lawyers have Continued on Page 4

Arts Council, Multifaith Service Highlight Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebrations The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) celebrated the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday with a day of live music, interactive workshops, and discussions culminating in an evening multifaith service at First Baptist Church at Paul Robeson Place and John Street. Speakers at a community breakfast at ACP included Princess Hoagland of Not in Our Town: Princeton, an interfaith, interracial group dedicated to racial justice; Monique Jones, parent education and community outreach coordinator for Princeton Public Schools; and James Fields, director of undergraduate ministry for the Christian Union at Princeton University.

After breakfast there were art and history activities for all ages, including an open archive from the Historical Society of Princeton and an afternoon performance by the First Baptist Church Choir. A screening of Teach Us All, a documentary about educational inequality examining the legacy of the 1957 Little Rock school crisis, concluded the afternoon events. “On Martin Luther King Jr. Day we celebrate the values of equality, tolerance, and solidarity,” said ACP Executive Director Taneshia Nash Laird. “The Arts Council of Continued on Page 8

investigating the legal basis for towns to take action. “We’re waiting for guidance from them,” she said, adding that municipalities don’t have the authority to initiate action unless that right is specified by law. In referring to the Gottheimer-Murphy plan, she added, “In order for a town to be able to set up a structure like that you’d need to be given the authority from the state, and possibly even from the federal government.” Other lawmakers have also weighed in on the new tax bill and New Jersey’s possible strategies to counteract it.

Gottheimer-Murphy plan. “That’s the kind of out-ofthe-box thinking we need throughout New Jersey,” he said, “a very innovative and creative plan.” He added, “We are one of the states that is going to have the largest fallout from the new tax law. We give much more money to the federal government than we get in return, and this new tax law will make it worse.” A physicist and head of science education at the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory, Zwicker, who was just appointed chair of the new Science, Innovation, and Technology Committee of the General Assembly, expressed his enthusiasm about working with the new administration in Trenton. His committee is slated to take the lead in

focusing on science and innovation as a source of jobs and economic development in the state. Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12), also eager to support strategies to help New Jersey taxpayers, did not hesitate to criticize the new Trump administration-Republican tax bill and its consequences. “My colleagues and I would not be scrambling for solutions if it weren’t for Donald Trump and his allies ramming through this illconceived and poorly crafted tax bill,” she said. “No piece of legislation that adds trillions of dollars to the deficit and impacts the finances of every household nationwide should be considered so thoughtlessly. Each day information surfaces — often conflicting — on how New

Jersey taxpayers can adjust to this new tax system.” She added, “That said, New Jerseyans are rightfully looking to leadership for a plan of action, and I am committed to working with the New Jersey delegation and the incoming Murphy administration to develop and pursue the best steps forward to manage some of the consequences of this terrible bill.” Murphy Administration Lempert also mentioned her enthusiasm for the new administration in state government. “I’m very excited we have new leadership in Trenton,” she said. “It can only mean better things for our state and for Princeton. I’m looking forward to having more partners in Trenton to work with on issues that are important for us and our residents.” She pointed out that Princeton is well represented in Trenton. “I’m excited just in terms of looking at the transition team the governor has put together and the people he’s surrounding himself with.” Emphasizing transportation and sustainability as two of the most important issues she’s optimistic about addressing with the new administration, Lempert continued, “Princeton has been directly impacted by the lack of attention, funding, and stewardship for New Jersey Transit and our transit infrastructure. I’m hopeful that we’ll see more of a partnership there and the resources to allow New Jersey Transit to do its job.” She also mentioned that she is looking forward to explor-

ing with state partnership the conversion of street lights to LEDs. “We need help from the state on that because the rates that PSE&G charges are essentially determined by the state, and if there’s no acknowledgment of reduced costs and increased savings for LEDs then there’s a lack of incentive there. I’m hop-

ing we can work with the administration on that to achieve significant savings. There are going to be other projects like that where the state can serve as the entity that helps to regulate using green infrastructure for building and other developments we’re doing.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton School Gardens Cooperative Gets “Top Tomato” Award From State W hen it comes to the subject of food literacy, Princeton — specifically, the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative — earns high marks. The 12-yearold nonprofit was recently awarded “Top Tomato” sta-

tus by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture for its work familiarizing local school children with locallygrown produce.

Despite the playful title, being named “Top Tomato” is an honor taken seriously. “It’s important to a tiny organization like ours to get this recognition from the state Department of Agriculture,” said Fran McManus, co-founder of the cooperative. “We’ve been around for more than 10 years. It is really rewarding to see that the state has taken this idea seriously, of connecting kids in our school districts to issues not only about taste, but about understanding that farming is a really important part of our state economy.” Princeton School Gardens Cooperative is the tenth organization to be honored with the coveted award. Last year’s winner was Hopewell Elementary School principal David Friedrich, for efforts including twice weekly organic, homemade lunch, for students. Founded by McManus, Dorothy Mullen, Karla Cook, and Diane Hackett in 2006, the Princeton cooperative began with Garden State on Your Plate ( GSOY P), establishing edible gardens at all of the public schools and getting parents involved in the effort. Originally, the organization had to raise money to pay for gardens and garden educators. But Princeton Public Schools now pays the tab, “a huge affirmation of the value of the garden programs,” McManus said. Current projects are the GSOYP programs in all four of Princeton’s elementary schools, the JW Cooks and Gardens Club at John Witherspoon Middle School, and JW Garden Educator, also at the middle school. Funders are Whole Earth Center, The Bent Spoon, McCaffrey’s, Princeton University Campus Dining, Church & Dwight Employee Giving Fund, and Heartland Payment Systems. GSOYP visits the elementary schools four times a

year, in fall and spring. A specific fruit or vegetable is singled out each month. While local chefs used to be hired to prepare tasting samples and talk to the children, school food service company NutriServe Food Management now makes the samples. At lunchtime, students go to the cafeterias where parent volunteers serve them small portions of simple recipes prepared by NutriServe, using locally grown produce. “Children taste the produce raw, with salt, with lemon, and prepared roasted, boiled, braised, or with other ingredients,” McManus said. “Our guest farmer or chef asks the

students to note the flavors, textures, and temperatures and we ask for their observations about how salt, lemon, and cooking change the flavor and texture of the produce.” Each school gets posters with facts about the featured fruit or vegetable and words that describe its flavor, color, and texture. McManus is enthusiastic about the after-school cooking program at the middle school. “Cooking is back in the curriculum, and that’s great,” she said. “It had been dropped for a number of years and the kitchens were sitting unused. But it’s now part of food sciences.” She has seen other signs of progress. “I have heard from numerous parents that their kids come home and say, ‘I want beets for dinner tonight,’ which is funny and so gratifying,” she said. “And the other day I ran into some kindergartners at Community Park School. They said to me, ‘We want to taste something!’” —Anne Levin

Artis Senior Living Opens Second Location

Artis Senior Living will celebrate the grand opening of its second memory care community in New Jersey – Artis Senior Living of Princeton Junction – at 861 Alexander Road on Sunday, January 21 from noon to 3 p.m. “We are excited for the grand opening of our second memory care residence in New Jersey, joining our sister community in Evesham and are humbled by the warm welcome we’ve received

from the Princeton Junction neighborhood and surrounding area. We feel privileged to be continuing to set the bar in quality care for seniors affected by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia,” said Kelly McNulty, executive director at Artis of Princeton Junction. The new 64-suite residence will be the first two-story, freestanding memory care community in Princeton Junction. The community is comprised of four neighborhoods — Prospect Home, Mercer Lake, Grover’s Mill, and Palmer Square — that create an intimate environment with familiar living spaces. Each level of the community includes a central core, known as the “Town Center” flanked by two distinct “neighborhoods” that serve as intimate living spaces. The Town Centers feature a host of amenities including a neighborhood center for community gatherings and a studio for life enrichment on the first floor; as well as a health center, beauty and barber shop, spa, café, and gallery on the second floor. McNulty noted, “This is going to be a day to remember for our Artis team, colleagues, friends, associates, future residents, and family members. We look forward to providing the families of Princeton Junction with the best in memory care for many years to come.” Influenced and refined by 20 years of operational experience, the new residence is thoughtfully designed to enhance residents’ cognition and quality of life by creating a home environment that is both nurturing and comfortable. The design features include smaller-scale spaces, residential finishes, and the use of themes for queuing and

location recognition. Artis Senior Living of Princeton Junction is excited to extend the invitation to the grand opening event to the entire community. For more information on Artis Senior Living of Princeton Junction or to RSVP to the Community Grand Opening, please call (609) 454-3360 or email PrincetonJunction@artismgmt.com.

Question of the Week

“How does the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy live on today? (Asked Sunday at a celebration of Dr. King's life at St. Charles Borromeo Church, Skillman) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

Lecture on Ecuador At D&R Greenway

“Land Stewardship and Research of the Mache-Chindul Mountains in Western Ecuador” is the title of a talk on Thursday, January 25, at 7 p.m., at D &R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place. John. L. Clark, the Aldo Leopold Distinguished Teaching Chair, Environmental Science and Ethics, the Lawrenceville School, will share his experiences as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer and further research he has done in Ecuador. For D&R Greenway, Clark has led public walks on trails in the Sourlands, demonstrating how buds, bark, and scent can be used to identify local trees and flora. He lived in Ecuador for six years, first as a high school exchange student and later through Peace Corps service, as a Fulbright scholar and a guide. Clark, who earned his doctorate in biology at George Washington University and is a visiting research scholar, Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, Rutgers University, joined the science department at the Lawrenceville School in 2015. RSVP for the program at (609) 924-4646 or rsvp @ drgreenway.org.

“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy lives on in the hope of people to rise up. To rise up against powers and structures and principalities there are of injustice. And so we have to now be, as he said in his speech on March 31, 1968. We have to be the Davids that rise up to face the Goliaths.” —Rev. Theresa Thames, PU associate dean of religious life and PU Chapel, Princeton

“In the struggles of margin life people in our country. And in the attempt by people not on the margins to bring them out.” —Rabbi Eric Cohen, Flemington Jewish Community Center, Lambertville

LISTEN “I think his legacy is very much alive in that we are continuing to talk about the issues that he spoke about. The Catholic Church is particularly concerned about racial oppression when it comes to immigration. But I also think we have a long way to go. The Catholic bishops in the U.S. recently convened an ad hoc committee to start thinking and talking about racism more than we have in a long time. That’s something we are really looking forward to.” —Sean Sanford, director of leadership and young adult programs, Jesuits; Merchantville

Westminster Choir Joe Miller, conductor

Monday, January 22 7:30 p.m.

“Dr. King’s legacy from an Islamic perspective has always been “The Dream” that God has set for Muslims. It says clearly that I have created you from a single male and female and then made you into tribes and nations so you may get to know each other, rather than to despise one another. None of you is a believer until he loves for his brother and his sister which he loves for himself.” —Dr. Heba Elkhateeb, Somerset

“I think in the vigilance by hosting events like we had tonight. It’s an interfaith gathering and opportunity to remind everyone of what Martin Luther King stood for, and why it’s important for us not to forget and to continue the fight for equality and a better human race for all of us.” —Julie Stephenson, Princeton

Since graduating from Princeton University in 2005, Julia Ioffe has earned a reputation as a highly respected journalist in her field. Specializing in Russian politics, she covers national security and foreign policy topics for The Atlantic, and lists Politico, The New Yorker, and The New Republic on her resume. On January 23, Ioffe will return to campus for a discussion, open to the public, from 4:30-6 p.m. in McCosh 50. Trading thoughts with her on Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Russia will be fellow international journalist Deborah Amos, a visiting Ferris Professor of Journalism and lecturer in the Humanities Council at the University. Simon Morrison, a Department of Music professor and an expert on Soviet and Russian performing arts, will moderate. “I’ve been trying for a while to bring her to campus,” he said of Ioffe. “I consider her to be not only one of the most courageous and industrious journalists in the business, but one who inhabits both the American and Russian political worlds.” Directly following her talk at the University, Ioffe will hurry over to Princeton Public Library for a 6:30 p.m. discussion with Shaun Walker about his book The Long Hangover: Putin’s Russia and the Ghosts of the Past. Walker was a journalist in Moscow for more than a decade and was Moscow correspondent for The Independent. His appearance is co-sponsored by the library and Labyrinth Books. Morrison is equally enthused about the participation of Amos, who has been teaching a seminar at the University focused on journalism and the global migration crisis. The National Public Radio reporter was recently honored with a 2017 Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women’s Media Foundation. In addition to her NPR duties, she has reported on Nightline, World News Tonight, and Frontline. Amos has traveled across the Middle East covering such stories as the Syrian uprising, and is now focused on Syrian refugees in the United States. “This is someone who was hospitalized during the anthrax attacks,” Morrison said. “Having these two brave women journalists together is very special.” Ioffe is scheduled to talk about her recent reporting and the risks she has encountered, including online harassment from white supremacist groups. A profile she did in 2016 on Melania Trump for the magazine GQ helped make her a target. Ioffe’s article, “What Putin Really Wants,” is the cover story for this month’s issue of The Atlantic. “She has deep ties within the so-called deep state,” Morrison said. “She is really on the front lines of the Mueller investigation and what people like Paul Manafort have been up to. The other thing is that she will be the major bilingual journalist covering the re-election of Putin in March. I think of her as an empress of the dark

31, 2017. It would lose approximately $1.6 billion every year in its gross domestic product if DACA is repealed, according to New Jersey Policy Perspective. In November, Princeton University, one of its students, and Microsoft filed a separate legal challenge to the DACA termination, alleging in U.S. District Court that DACA’s termination violated the U.S. Constitution and federal laws. “With less than two months before the program is scheduled to end,” Eisgruber and Smith wrote to Congress, “legislation is needed now, particularly considering the significant administrative requirements of implementing any new system. There is no reason — and no time — to delay.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton is excited to serve the community by opening our doors to recognize a collective commitment to social change.” Picking up on Laird’s commitment to “reflect on the legacy of the work of a great man,” the evening’s multifaith service, sponsored by Coalition for Peace Action and the Princeton Clergy Association, featured participation by leaders from a range of different faiths. “We enjoyed par t icipation from so many different houses of worship and faith backgrounds, as we united together to show the world that we stand together for love, justice, and peace,” said First Baptist Pastor the Rev. Carlton Branscomb. “Beloved, no matter what

your background or tradition, remember that love conquers all and unites us all. We do not have to accept a world filled with fear and division,” he continued. The Rev. Bob Moore, who delivered the sermon, described himself as “standing in Dr. King’s holistic, prophetic tradition and speaking out on rejecting all forms of racism and bigotry, as well as militarism, and in support of the beloved community.” In his sermon titled “Holistic, Prophetic Beloved Community,” Moore emphasized that King’s agenda included not just civil rights, but also world peace, trade union issues, and a campaign for poor people. Moore also highlighted the current need for a prophetic ministry in light of the urgent crises of racism and militarism

in our country. He described ongoing racism as “a deepseated problem in our culture. We have a lot to do on that one.” He also mentioned t he threat of nuclear war, warning, “if we don’t change direction, we’re going to end up where we’re headed,” noting that “the Trump administration continues to reject all diplomacy.” Moore’s sermon, interrupted a dozen times for applause and responded to by a standing ovation at its conclusion, repeatedly highlighted the empowering strength of diversity in the face of challenges. “The beloved community becomes a prophetic community,” he said. “We can all be part of the prophetic community, supporting empowerment and solidarity.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton Healthcare System expertise — both here and Has Official New Name elsewhere in the Penn Medi-

Last week’s announcement that Princeton HealthCare System (PHCS) and its affiliates, including the University Medical Center of Princeton, Princeton House Behavioral Health, Princeton HomeCare, and the Princeton Medicine physician network, are now officially part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), means slightly altered names for all of the branches of the system. What was originally Princeton Hospital and later University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro is now Penn Medicine Princeton Health. UPHS and PHCS leaders announced the transaction on January 9, after receiving all necessary regulatory approvals. The plan was first announced in December 2016. University Medical Center of Princeton is now Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center. Princeton House Behavioral Health is now Penn Medicine Behavioral Health, and so on. “The joining together of Princeton HealthCare System and Penn Medicine represents an exciting new chapter in Penn Medicine’s growth. PHCS has an impressive reputation for providing high-quality care to patients close to home, and innovating in many types of community-based health and wellness initiatives,” said Ralph W. Muller, CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. “Now, we can offer a powerful partnership to patients throughout the region PHCS serves, continuing the services they already depend on, coupled with access to world-class care for complex conditions and innovative clinical trials available at Penn Medicine.” The University of Penns ylv a n ia He a lt h S ys te m includes five hospitals in Pennsylvania as well as primary and specialty physician networks and outpatient facilities, home and hospice services. The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center have together been consistently recognized as an Honor Roll Hospital in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings, including the past four years in the nation’s top 10 hospitals. The University of Pennsylvania Health System is part of Penn Medicine, along with the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine, which consistently ranks in U.S. News & World Report’s top five medical schools and among the nation’s five leading medical schools for National Institutes of Health funding. “This is a significant day in our history, and we look forward to being an even stronger organization, clinically and financially, as we continue to fulfill our almost century-old mission of serving this community,” said PHCS President and CEO Barry S. Rabner. “We could not ask for a better partner than Penn Medicine. Members of our community will continue to receive highqualit y care r ight here, close to home. They also will benefit from easier access to the latest medical breakthroughs, clinical trials, cutting-edge technologies, and specialized clinical

cine system.” PHCS employs approximately 3,000 staff and has an active medical staff of nearly 1,300 physicians. Like each of Penn Medicine’s hospitals, PHCS also shares a proud tradition of nursing excellence, having achieved Magnet® status, the highest institutional recognition available for nursing excellence. PHCS announced in June 2015 that it would begin evaluating partnership opportunities to ensure its continued success in the future and in July of 2016, executed a Letter of Intent with UPHS. The move to join Penn Medicine comes following PHCS officials’ consideration of 17 potential partners. “Our tr ustees engaged community members, physicians, and employees in a thorough, two-year process to evaluate and select a partner,” said Kim Pimley, chairman, PHCS Board of Trustees. “In Penn Medicine, we found a partner that shares our values. Together, we can make world-class care more accessible to the people in the communities we serve. We are delighted to begin a shared future with Penn Medicine.”

Thanks to Local Rent Increases It’s “So Long Charm, Hello Chains”

Mailbox

To the Editor: As I was walking up witherspoon Street, a little sign in the window of Lisa Jones brought home the hard fact that the greed so evident in the workings of the world at large, a greed we tend to associate with the unscrupulous acquisitiveness of mega-corporations, was at work on our little Princeton streets. Does a rent increase of 33 percent amount to an eviction notice for these four businesses who have thus been slapped for their contribution to the charm of our town? Ah well, so long charm, hello chains. So long the pleasure of uniqueness, hello the ennui of sameness. when out for a stroll a year from now, let’s pray the aroma of coffee wafts in the witherspoon air. And turning the corner onto Nassau, let’s hope there’s a bookstore where the delight of discovery is within a glance’s reach. PAtRICIA DONAhuE Hamilton Avenue

PRS Costs and Our Town’ s Fiscal Crisis: Four Observations and Seven Priorities

In 2016 I wrote, “Princeton School Board (PRS) Election/Huge Tax Increases Pre-ordained.” As the town now enters 2018, it is evident that predictions re: PRS cost growth will be exceeded and the problem will become a tax and fiscal crisis for our town. How so? First and foremost, PRS per student costs are totally out of control and far exceed those of other high performing districts, even those in Mercer County. Costs up to 38 percent more on a $100 million budget. This grievously impacts the town’s ability to fund other priority needs. PLUS, the percent of real estate taxes allocated to PRS keeps growing. Second, PRS current demographic projections and related plans to accommodate predicted growth will mandate a major bond issue to fund school construction for hundreds of additional students in several schools. Teachers and administrative personnel required will increase concurrently. Third, actions that might eliminate or reduce both forecasted increases in enrollment and the scope of capital investments are not being fully explored and certainly not being aggressively pursued. Cranbury High School sending district, non-resident, and various ineligible students comprise a list of hundreds PPS is not required to admit. Fourth and most important, the demographic data and trends used to justify the huge expenditures being planned are flawed. They ignore or place no credence in the possible impact of macro-scale programs which are being initiated or expanded at the federal level by the new administration’s secretary of education, including school choice, vouchers, charter schools, etc. These programs may reduce PRS future enrollments significantly, as there are large numbers of empty seats in area private schools of diverse character, plus under-enrollment and closure of many financially troubled schools, especially those with religious affiliations. Vouchers and school choice options alone could significantly increase enrollments and financial viability of many schools and enable reopening of several in our area. Personally, I have spent over 30 years, most often as a pro-bono volunteer, involved in and strongly supporting both public and private education at all levels. In Princeton, I have always supported ensuring continuity of their treasured traditions of excellence! I am reminded of my first election campaign for PRS Board in 1992 and trying to “foster a climate for constructive change.” I recall very welcome and detailed, fact-based coverage of all candidates in our local media including my seven priorities listed below: • Restore Board’s proper role — GOVERNANCE • Get educational priorities straight • Stop Board’s preoccupation with raising revenues (taxes) • Start reducing and controlling costs • Stop explosive growth in salaries and benefits • Downsize administration • Focus on performance and accountability JOhN ClEARwAtER, Governors lane

Victim Displaced by Griggs Farm Fire Thanks People of Princeton for Helping

To the Editor: having been a victim of the recent fire at Griggs Farm (Building 33 on 12/27/17) I want to express my sincerest, heartfelt thanks to all the people of Princeton for their help and support for not only myself, but all the people displaced by this terrible tragedy. we are all sorry to have lost our homes, many possessions, and the life of our neighbor, Larisa Bartone, to the fire and now we face the enormous task of rebuilding our lives. Because I came to this country 16 years ago with nothing but my talent, I am no stranger to starting over. Bless Princeton University for giving me the chance to capture their beautiful campus in my watercolors when I first arrived in Princeton and to be able to share them with the world. I am grateful to be alive and still have my ability to paint, although I have lost my art studio as well. I was uninsured and have no savings, but I am confident thanks to the help of our landlords, Princeton Community housing (PCh), Griggs Farm Condominium Association, Princeton Human Services Department, and the other local agencies that have cooperated in the organization of donations for our immediate needs. I also want to thank the Princeton Police and Fire Department, as well as the local Red Cross for their efforts that terrible night in the bitter cold. Out of every tragedy comes a lesson for each of us. Personally, I never want to be without renters insurance again and I encourage everyone renting apartments or houses to make sure that they have this coverage. This has taught me that you never know what life will throw at you and even though we can’t predict the future, there are some practical things we can do that will help if a disaster, like this fire, should happen. I lost some of my original art that I will only know in the future from the pictures that I took and it saddens me that I will never have them again. Because of this, I am going to be reaching out to the professional and amateur art community at large with the message, and hopefully the means, to raise awareness of the need to be covered by adequate insurance for their artworks, materials, and studios. I also want to thank again those people, friends and strangers alike, who donated to me personally and PCH on the gofundme.com website (marina-ahun-artist-fire-fund). Bless you Princeton, you are the Best! MARINA AhuN formerly of Billie Ellis Lane

Works of Modern Masters at PU Art Museum

Innovative works by great modern artists — including Paul Cézanne, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, and Milton Avery — will be included in two exhibitions at the Princeton University Art Museum this winter. “The Artist Sees Differently: Modern Still Lifes from The Phillips Collection” runs from January 27 through April 29 and offers an analysis of modernist still life through 38 paintings from the landmark collection assembled by Duncan Phillips and his wife, the artist Marjorie Acker Phillips. The paintings on view — many of them rarely seen masterworks of modern art – provide entrée to a period in which artists sought new aesthetic strategies that responded to a rapidly changing world. Among the artists exploring radical new approaches to space, brushstroke, and drawing was Paul Cézanne “STILL LIFE”: This 1926 oil on cardboard on wood panel work by Jean Négulesco is featured in (1839-1906), whose work “The Artist Sees Differently: Modern Still Lifes from The Phillips Collection,” running January also figures in “Landscapes Be27 through April 29 at the Princeton University Art Museum. hind Cézanne,” curated by the Princeton University Art Museum’s John Elderfield, Allen R. Adler, Class of 1967, distinguished curator and lecturer, with Calvin Brown, associate curator of prints and drawings. “Landscapes Behind Cézanne” runs February 24 through May 13. The museum is on the campus of Princeton University. Admission is free. For more information, visit the website at artmuseum.princeton.edu.

“FOLLOW YOUR RAINBOW”: The children’s illustrations of Michael Ciccotello are featured in “For Love of Nature,” on view through February 9 at D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Olivia Rainbow Gallery in Princeton. A family program with the artist will take place on Saturday, January 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. Artwork by Michael Ciccotello conveys messages of encouragement and hope, especially in unlikely settings. Subtle wisdom is wrapped in consummate playfulness. In Ciccotello’s world, the “little folk,” such as tortoises and snails, are awarded ribbons for persistence in the face of obstacles. Nature joins Ciccotello creatures, carrying uplifting messages across each page. Ciccotello said, “I’ve always wanted to draw, for as long as I can remember, on anything that came to hand.” Teachers encouraged him. His work speaks to the child who may doubt him- or herself, or who may have suffered criticism that could stifle a dream. “What I want the children to take away from my art, and our workshop, is ‘Never feel discouraged. Do what you love, and all else will follow.’” Ciccotello received his BFA, with a concentration in painting, from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. His 14 years in broadcast motion graphics includes stints at CNN and Fox Business Network. Ciccotello currently serves as art and design director at Telos Corporation. His art has been featured on Liquitex.com, CNN, and ClothPaperScisors.com, and in Artists & Makers magazine and Industry Magazine. Prints of Ciccotello scenes will be available for purchase during the exhibition, a percentage supporting D&R Greenway’s preservation mission.

The gallery is at One Preservation Place in Princeton. Hours are Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (609) 9244646 or visit the website at www.drgreenway.org.

“Eleven Years” Exhibit Focuses on Body Image

Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) James Kerney Campus Gallery (JKCG) in downtown Trenton has announced the opening of “Eleven Years,” an exhibit by internationally recognized photographer Jen Davis that explores body image, identity, and relationships. It runs from Thursday, January 25 through Thursday, February 22. On Wednesday, January 31, JKCG invites the community to an opening reception and artist’s talk with Jen Davis from 5 to 8 p.m., with the talk to begin at 5:30 p.m. JKCG is located in MCCC’s Trenton Hall, 137 North Broad Street, across the street from the Kerney Building. The show features 28 photographs from Davis’ monograph Eleven Years, published by Kehrer Verlag in 2014. The book includes a series of self-portraits dealing with concepts of beauty, identity, and body image. The work, captured over more than a decade, reveals Davis’ journey of self-reflection and self-discovery that speaks to broader issues surrounding image and beauty.

Princeton University Opera Theater Presents Authentic Performance of Baroque Opera

tudents at Princeton University have an incredibly diverse range of choices for musical experiences on campus. One of the most challenging this year was the opera class Music 219, in which music majors and non-majors joined together to explore a single theme or production. As described by Humanities Council Visiting Lecture Thomas Guthrie, co-teacher of Music 219, this year’s class was “all about exploring what it’s like to be in an opera.” The 30 students who participated in the class performed the resulting operatic project this past weekend at Richardson Auditorium. Guthrie and University Director of Choral Activities Gabriel Crouch (also co-teacher of Music 219) led the students through a staged production in Italian (with English supertitles) of what is considered the first fullydeveloped opera — Claudio Monteverdi’s 1607 L’Orfeo. Friday night’s performance (the opera was repeated Saturday night) showed both the depth of the class and how even those who are not studying music extensively can rise to a challenge. Opera as a form evolved from the 16thcentury intermedio — a long musical interlude presented between acts of a play. By 1600 Monteverdi was employed in the Mantua court of Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, who was particularly interested in the prestige attached to promoting the new musical form of opera, and it was for this court that Monteverdi created L’Orfeo. Composed in five short acts, L’Orfeo was based on the Greek legend of Orpheus’s descent to the underworld to retrieve his beloved bride Euridice. For this performance, Guthrie and Crouch recreated an early 17th-century operatic experience, including the use of period instruments and a stark theatrical set which allowed the audience to focus on the music. Monteverdi’s score blends numerous compositional devices available at the time, including arias, strophic sings, dance, and recitative. The composer indicated an accompanying ensemble of 41 instruments, and as was customary for the time, presenters of the opera are free to make their own decisions about instrumental forces. Crouch elected to use 26 musicians, with such period instruments as sackbuts and chitarrone adding authenticity and a unique musical flavor not often heard in Richardson Auditorium. L’Orfeo opens in the pastoral setting of Thrace, at the wedding of Orfeo and Euridice. Director Guthrie took the opera one theatrical step further from the original with the incorporation of masks and puppets, which were held by the singers and manipulated to express appropriate emotions. Created by Rui Rodrigues, the puppets were eerily lifelike and ghostly. Tenor Sebastian Cox, a University senior

singing the role of Orfeo, was especially adept at bringing his puppet to life. As a singer, Cox was very strong, and communicated particularly well with the audience and fellow performers from throughout the stage. His role often contained passages of very fast-moving words, which Cox had no trouble conveying in the hall. Although dramatically quite important, Euridice is not a large role vocally, but requires a voice expressing deep emotion. Soprano Shruthi Rajasekar sang Friday night (the role was double-cast) with a solid vocal presence which matched Orfeo well. The minor characters of the opera, some of whom were sung by members of the chorus in this production, carried much of the dramatic action of the evening, and their contributions often belied the small size of their roles. Two particularly impressive “shepherds” were Jonathan Makepeace and Jay Lee, who frequently commented on the story with voices which blended together well, often with a light accompaniment of recorders and the theorbo-like chitarrone. Bass Damien Capelle sang the patriarchal role of Pluto cleanly, joined by Kaamya Varagur singing the role of his wife, Proserpina. Introducing the opera in a spirited prologue were sopranos (and sisters) Sarah and Solène Le Van. Solène in particular sang with a rich and impassioned voice, while Sarah was equally at home in the early baroque style. The orchestra compiled for this performance was split on two sides of a stage extension through the middle of the audience, with the pastoral instruments representing Thrace — violins, recorders, and harpsichord — on one side and the brass and lower string instruments of Hades on the other. Crouch stood in between and easily led both halves of the orchestra and all singers onstage through the score. Most unique in the instrumentation were the baroque trumpets, sackbuts, and cornetti playing from various points throughout the hall. This ensemble opened and closed the opera well with joyous fanfares. Continuo parts had a solid foundation in Sergio de Iudicibus and Wendy Young sharing responsibility on harpsichord and Kerry Heimann playing a portable regal organ. The chorus, which closed each act of the opera, found a good range of dynamics in different scenes, producing quite a full sound when necessary. usic 219 may have been a university class, but its “final exam” was a slick and professional-level opera, with the same attention to detail that one would expect from a high-level performance.

Chaplin and Women: Dream Scenes and Dancehall Girls

n his 1915-1936 prime, Charlie Chaplin, who died 40 years ago this past Christmas, wasn’t just the most celebrated film personality of his time, he was an international icon. With his derby, his mustache, his baggy pants, and his cane, the Tramp became a secular deity; the sainted spirit of laughter; comedy and humanity incarnate. He was also exposed to a tabloid-driven version of the Hollywood dynamic of sex and power that surfaced last fall with the Harvey Weinstein revelations. My subject isn’t Chaplin’s sexual magnetism, nor the fact that he was famously partial to young girls, marrying Mildred Harris in 1918 when he was 29 and she 16, and seven years later “making an honest woman” of 16-year-old Lita (for Lolita) Gray, who gave birth to his first two sons. The pulpy publicity of shotgun weddings engineered by worldly mothers was a mere drop in the ocean of his fame. To have subjected a figure of his magnitude to anything like the post-Weinstein firestorm of blame would be like consigning Shakespeare to eternal damnation because he groped a child actor during a rehearsal of Midsummer Night’s Dream. Chaplin reached the pinnacle of his career with City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936). After that he had the audacity to link the Tramp character with his mass-murderering double in The Great Dictator (1940) and then dropped the Tramp altogether to play a foppish Bluebeard in Monsieur Verdoux (1947), his last American film and first box-office failure. In the space of a decade he had gone from film genius/beloved everyman to a politically suspect outsider put on trial for allegedly violating the Mann Act. Conservative columnists called him an anti-American and questioned why he had lived in the U.S. for 40 years without ever becoming a citizen. According to Peter Ackroyd’s 2014 biography, Chaplin was “a libertarian with tendencies toward anarchism” who had “demanded, and gained, freedom for himself” to the point of refusing “to be told what day of the week it was.” For all the speculation about his political beliefs, he based his life on “passionate individualism.” What interests me at the moment is that the most luminous scenes in Chaplin’s films are shared with, inspired by, and devoted to women. Arguably the most remarkable and unlikely male/female encounter in his work occurs in Monsieur Verdoux and consists of a dialogue between a serial killer of women and the girl he’s picked up and is planning to poison. In that scene it’s as if Chaplin is revealing his demon, the creative genius capable of abusing his power over women even as he adores them. In James Agee’s lengthy essay on Monsieur Verdoux, a film he expected “to be the last word is misogyny,” he makes particular mention of the encounter with the nameless girl, “the one human being” with whom Verdoux “holds in common everything he regards as most important.”

Time and Art The idea that certain virulent strains of Weinstein fever could end or blight careers and devalue works of art put me in mind of William Faulkner’s famous assertion that Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” is “worth any number of old ladies,” stated after he tells an interviewer that the artist is “a creature driven by demons” and “completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.” In fact, Chaplin’s Verdoux cites Keats shortly before doing away with one of the widowed old ladies who are his chosen victims. Staring out the window at a full moon, Verdoux says “How beautiful, this pale Endymion hour.” When the doomed woman asks him what he’s talking about, he says, “A beautiful youth possessed by the moon.” Keats’s “unravished” Grecian urn is itself embellished with images of sexual power, its “men” and “maidens” held in the perspective of time and art, truth and beauty that transcends “mad pursuit,” “s t r u g g l e t o escape,” “wild ecstasy,” and “ hu ma n pas sion.” In the “unheard melodies” of Chapl i n’s s i l e n t films, the “happy m elo d is t” director/star is “For ever piping songs, and for ever young,” as in the dream sequence from Sunnyside (1919) where the Tramp frolics with a living frieze of comely, flowers-in-flowing hair, togaclad barefoot girls, all of whom would be known for little else but this Chaplinesque romp. With his first marriage on the rocks (his lover and leading lady of the time, Edna Purviance, is also in the film), Chaplin may well have been tempted to take advantage of the dancing maidens, but none of that nearly century-old “human passion” matters next to the joyous burlesque of classic Greek dance and Ballet Russe, the Tramp cavorting amid the nymphs like Nijinksy’s faun until he does a backwards tumble on a cactus that has him clutching at his behind, a slapstick touch that brings the idyll down to earth. Dancehall Girls Chaplin’s devotion to female beauty was at one with his devotion to cinema, which reaches the first of three pinnacles

in another dream sequence, this one at the heart of The Gold Rush (1925). Creating a transport of comic momentum — the miner’s shack teetering on the abyss, Mack Swain’s ravenous Big Jim hallucinating the Tramp as a giant chicken, the eating of the boot as if it were a great delicacy — Chaplin sets us up for the emotional magic of the scene where Charlie prepares a New Year’s Eve dinner for some dancehall girls. On one level we’re watching a delusional loser going delicately about the task of lighting candles, spreading a newspaper for a tablecloth, putting presents and favors at each girl’s place while keeping an eye on the chicken roasting in the oven. On another level we’re aware of the charismatic genius disguised as “the Little Fellow” alone and forgotten, rebuffed by the revellers in the dance hall where ever yone is singing “A u l d L a n g Syne” and Georgia (Georgia Hale), the girl he’s smitte n w i t h , i s romancing another man. While the dream in Sunnyside is the result of a fall, the Gold Rush fantasy at first actually seems to be happening, except that the Tramp has become the smiling all-powerful master of the scene, everything chiming w it h h is conception, the girls having the time of their lives, wearing the favors he made for them, toasting him, adoring him, calling for a speech. Instead, he gives them (and the audience) the “Oceana Roll,” a piece of magic everyone should see at least once before they die. Performed by candlelight with two forks and two rolls, it has to be seen to be appreciated and can be accessed in an instant on YouTube, where you can find another Chaplin pinnacle, the look of wonderstruck recognition shared by the Tramp and the Flower Girl at the end of City Lights, which James Agee calls “the greatest piece of acting and the highest moment in movies.” Verdoux and the Girl Last week I disposed of hundreds of once precious VHS tapes, a painful but necessary downsizing. Of the few I saved one was Monsieur Verdoux, which I hadn’t seen since the 1ate 1980s. While this film seems clumsy and alien after the poetry of

prime Chaplin, it contains a scene worthy of City Lights, a film it subtly alludes to, the director paying homage to the work closest to his heart. Courting a rich widow with a feast of flowers, Verdoux makes frequent visits to a florist’s shop that recalls the one in City Lights and employs a charming young woman reminiscent of the girl who shares that final “highest moment” with the Tramp. Soon after a visit to the shop, Verdoux spots a girl in a doorway (Marilyn Nash). He’s concocted a lethal mixture he needs to try out and decides she’ll do. As it’s a rainy evening, he offers to share his umbrella with her, inviting her to his apartment for something to eat. As I already suggested, the scene that follows is worthy of Chaplin’s finest work. After preparing a simple meal for the girl and serving it with a glass of poisoned wine, he questions her about her lot in life, hoping that she’s alone in the world and will not be missed (she’s just out of prison for pawning a stolen typewriter); all the while he’s tensely anticipating the moment she drinks the wine. As touching as Virginia Cherrill is as the girl in City Lights, she’s an actress. Marilyn Nash is clearly someone new to acting who seems to have walked in off the street. As the dialogue proceeds, Verdoux’s impatience (when will she drink the wine?) gives way to genuine curiosity (she’s reading Schopenhauer!) and shock when she reveals that she had a husband who recently died, having been crippled in the war, that caring for him had been like “a religion,” and that she would have killed for him. Verdoux, who has a crippled wife he’s been murdering rich widows to support, is stunned, and seeing that she’s about to drink the wine, he makes an excuse to take it back and hands her a fresh glass. Before she leaves, he gives her some money and she breaks down. As Agee notes, in sparing her, he has “betrayed his vocation,” and now “she threatens the very structure of his soul.” The next time they meet, by chance, she’s anxious to thank him and he rudely dismisses her, telling her to go on about her business. The third time Verdoux sees the girl is after the war; she’s rich, having married a munitions manufacturer, while he’s lost everything; with the elegant veneer gone, he’s attained a certain pathos. When she calls to him from a limo, the hand motion she beckons him with evokes the gesture with which the girl in the florist shop beckons the Tramp in City Lights, and like the Tramp in that moment, Verdoux points to himself: “Me?” Now she’s the wealthy one, ready to return the favor. At the end she is in the courtroom, the one kind, caring face, as Verdoux is sentenced to death. In Chaplin’s world, the female is the luminous, infinitely sympathetic audience. Without her the great artist’s power and poetry come to nothing. —Stuart Mitchner

CINEMA REVIEW

Hanks and Streep Co-Star in Freedom of the Press Thriller

Hanks and Meryl Streep, is certainly worth seeing. However, despite the cast and crew’s impressive pedigree, it’s actually a disappointment. The picture’s point of departure is Vietnam in 1966, which is where we find Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (Bruce Greenwood) on a fact-finding tour. Upon returning to the states, he lies when interviewed at the airport in order to put a positive spin on the odds of America winning the war. Fast forward five years, when military analyst Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys) becomes disillusioned by the government’s continued cover-up and turns over to the Washington Post and other publications copies of an internal top secret Department of Defense report about the war. Dubbed the “Pentagon Papers,” the files refute the unrealistically optimistic assessment about the war that is being presented to the public by the president. The Post’s editor, Ben Bradlee (Hanks), and owner, Katharine Graham (Streep) decided to publish the documents. What ensued was a constitutional crisis that was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court which weighed the freedom of the press against President Nixon’s (Curzon Dobell) request for an injunction to prevent dissemination of the classified documents in the interest of national security. Unfortunately, the story Spielberg chose to present is primarily a tale of female empowerment that quite frankly doesn’t ring true. Why resort to politically correct revisionist history that reflects present day values when simply ratcheting up the tension around the original landmark legal case probably would have been far more riveting? Very Good (HHH). Rated PG-13 for profanity and brief violence. Running time: 115 minutes. Production Studios: Dreamworks PicSHOULD WE OR SHOULDN’T WE?: Owner of The Washington Post, Katharine Graham tures/Amblin Entertainment/Par(Meryl Streep, right) discusses the pros and cons and possible legal consequences ticipant Media. Distributor: 20th of publishing the top secret Pentagon Papers in the newspaper with her editor Ben Century Fox. —Kam Williams Bradlee (Tom Hanks).

he Post is a movie that should be compared to two classic newsroom thrillers: All the President’s Men (1976) and Spotlight (2015). Like the former, it’s set in Washington, D.C. in the 70s and is about an attempt by the Nixon administration to prevent the publication of incriminating information leaked to the Washington Post by a whistleblower. And it’s eerily similar to the Best Picture Oscar-winner Spotlight in that they’re both dramas about an idealistic newspaper’s legal battle in defense of freedom of the press. Hollywood has a predictable habit of parroting success, which means it’s just a matter of time before a knockoff of a big hit arrives in theaters. In this case, Spotlight’s Academy Award-winning scriptwriter, Josh Singer, was tapped to tweak first timer Liz Hannah’s original screenplay about the Pentagon Papers. So, one might expect that the production, directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg and co-starring Tom

As she continues to get better, she is going to become really aggressive and still get others involved.” With the Tigers heading into exam break, posting a weekend sweep with a 69-47 win over Columbia on Friday to go with the victory over Cornell, Banghart believes her team is in a really good place. “We don’t play again for a while so it was kind of a three-game series,” said Banghart, whose squad returns to action when it plays at Yale on February 2. “It was Penn and then it was a home weekend and so far that is three. I really enjoy coaching this team, our senior class has exceeded my expectations in terms of their leadership. Our freshman class is giving us the talent burst that we needed.

Freshman Desrosiers Emerging as a Force As PU Men’s Hoops Enjoys 2-0 Ivy Weekend Jerome Desrosiers is exuding confidence as he heads into his first round of fall exams at Princeton University. “I think I am actually ready,” said Desrosiers. “I just have to finish up one paper and start studying; nothing too crazy for me personally.” On the basketball court, freshman Desrosiers is starting to become a force for the Tigers. Last weekend, Desrosiers starred off the bench, scoring 12 points in 12 minutes in a 72-56 win over Columbia on Friday and then chipping in 14 points in 16 minutes in a 91-54 rout of Cornell the next day. “Every day, I get in the gym with Skye [Ettin], our assistant coach (and former Princeton High hoops star), and do this thing where we make 100 shots a day,” said Desrosiers, 6’7, 225 -pound for ward who hails from Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. “I have been working on my three-pointer for a while

now. Now that I know I can shoot, it opens up the lane and I can drive and it is good with my game.” As a result of Desrosiers’ increased confidence, his teammates are looking for him to score. “It is a credit to the other guys. They are making the extra passes, making it easier for me,” said Desrosiers, a 6’7, 225-pound forward who was later named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week. P r i nce ton h e ad coach Mitch Henderson credits Desrosiers with giving the Tigers a major spark. “Jerome is giving us terrific minutes off the bench,” said Henderson, whose team ended the weekend at 9-8 overall and 2-1 Ivy League. “I made a decision with Will Gladson getting into the lineup for us, which basically moved Jerome into a role coming off the bench, which he accepts very willingly. The group is really connecting with each other right now on both ends.

Desrosiers was later named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for his output. The Tigers, now 9-8 overall and 2-1 Ivy League, are next in action when they host Rowan on January 28. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

The Tigers played well at both ends of the rout of Cornell, which saw the Tigers jump out to a 19-0 lead on the way to building a 53-19 lead by halftime before a crowd of 2,635 at Jadwin Gym. “I thought the play of Amir [Bell] and Devin [Cannady] in the backcourt to start the game was very high level,” asserted Henderson. “We held Matt Morgan to two points in the first half. Devin and Amir were in really good position; the details were really important tonight for us defensively. The ball has been going in this weekend. There is a good pop to the group, they were sharing the ball again.” Junior star and tri-captain Cannady likes the way the group is coming together. “It is huge; teams early were scouting Amir, Myles [Stephens] and myself,” said Cannady. “S eeing Jerome, Ryan [Schwieger], and Sebastian [Much] coming on and making the plays is huge. The seniors and juniors who come in the game off the bench are leading. We have a good unit right now. We are glad to get two wins going into the break; I think we are playing real well.” In Henderson’s view, a tough defeat to Penn (a 7670 loss on January 6) to start the Ivy campaign could prove to be a turning point for the Tigers. “I said it after the Penn game, I thought it would be the best thing to happen to the team,” said Henderson, whose team returns to action after the exam break when it hosts Rowan on January 28. “But when you say those things, you are sick to your stomach but it is and it was. It allowed us to have a really good week of practice and the focus was really high level and it starts with our leaders.” Desrosiers will be looking to the team’s leaders as he looks to keep sharp through the exam period. “It is my first time doing this type of schedule, I am getting help from the older guys,” said Desrosiers. “We are really focused in right now and we know what we have to work on. We will be in the gym to make sure that we are still ready for games.” —Bill Alden

Lund Hits 100-Point Mark for PU Women’s Hockey, Inspired by Support of Family Cheering Section T he Lund family from Minnesota made its annual sojourn to Baker Rink last weekend to cheer on its favorite player, Princeton University women’s hockey star Karlie Lund. Wearing T-shir ts made for the occasion and taping posters to the glass, the clan changed sections each period to be near the goal when junior forward Lund skated into the offensive zone. Lund, for her part, drew extra inspiration from her special cheering section. “It does fire me up. They have done so much for me,” said Lund, noting that the Minnesota contingent on hand included her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends as well as her parents and siblings. “I always want to try to have my best game possible when they are here and just have fun with them. A couple times on the ice I waved to them and they loved it.” Lund fired up the crowd on Friday against visiting Brown, assisting on two goals by former high school teammate and fellow Eden Prairie, Minn. resident Carly Bullock as the Tigers pulled away to a 4-0 win. “Carly and I have been playing together forever,” said the 5’10 Lund. “We can always find each other on the ice. We know how each other plays so it is real easy to play with her. I know if I can get her the puck that she is going to be able to find a way to score. We have a great connection.” With Princeton leading 2-0 entering the third period against Brown, the Tigers seized control of the contest, outshooting the Bears 16-5 in the frame on the way to a pair of unanswered goals. “Our team really focuses on conditioning in the preseason and throughout the season,” said Lund. “Generally we try to wear teams down and I think our third period is usually our best.” A day later, Lund picked up two more assists in a 3-0 victory over Yale, hitting the 100-point mark in her career to provide a highlight in what has been an uneven campaign for her. “It is not the season I wanted to have so far, but our team is winning now so I am happy with that,” said Lund, who now has 17 points on five goals and 12 assists after piling up 83 points on 38 goals and 45 assists in 66 games over her first two seasons. “There is still plenty of time; having the break at first is nice and then coming back. Hopefully from now on, we can keep things rolling.” Princeton head coach Cara Morey is confident that Lund can get rolling. “Lund has been a lot better since coming back from Christmas break, starting with the Boston University series,” said Morey, whose team is now 8-10-4 overall and 7-8-1 ECAC Hockey. “We need her to be on for us to all be playing well. Her vision is extraordinary. She is really good at setting up Carly Bullock, they have chemistry. We need her go-

ing so Bullock can do what she does.” Morey liked the way Tigers played down the stretch against Brown. “I felt we had a little bit of breathing room in the third period,” said Morey. “We were working harder, we were on top of all loose pucks. We were getting good, quality scoring chances. In the third period we started to play a lot more like the Princeton Tigers.” The Tiger defense showed its quality as sophomore goalie Steph Neatby posted back-to-back shutouts against the Bears and Bulldogs. “It is a mental grind as much as it is a physical grind; they started to turn it on and started making the simpler plays and let the puck do the work and get their feet moving a little more than they were in the first period,” said Morey, noting that the Tigers had only four defensemen in action.

“We needed Neatby there to make those saves in the first or it would have been a different story. We need our goalie to give us a chance to win games and that is what she did.” Getting the two wins last weekend was key for the Tigers, who are on exam break for the next two weeks. “Yale and Brown are right behind us in the standings,” noted Morey, whose team is next in action when it plays at Penn State on January 30 and faces former head coach Jeff Kampersal. “We have to win the games we are supposed to win in order to make the playoffs.” In Lund’s view, the Tigers are poised to make a solid playoff run. “It is such a young team, you can’t expect to come out and have everything perfect in your first couple of games,” said Lund. “The freshmen are finding their way and all of our lines are clicking. We are getting goals from everyone so I think we are going to have a good roll here.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Water Polo Names Interim Coaches

Derek Ellingson has been named the interim head coach of the Princeton men’s water polo team while Becca Dorst will be the interim head coach of the women’s water polo squad. Luis Nicolao, the head coach of both teams at Princeton for the past 20 years, resigned last week to take the head coaching job for the men’s team at Navy, his alma mater. Ellingson recently finished his 14th year with the men’s program. He will be responsible for coaching the team during its off-season training, recruiting for the men’s and women’s programs while ser v ing as the assistant coach for the women’s unit during its upcoming competition season. He is also taking on full administrative responsibilities for both programs. In his career, Ellingson has been a part of nine NCAA tournament teams, helping Queens College to the tournament in 1997 as a player and taking the Knights back to the tournament in 2002 as head coach. At Princeton, he helped the men’s unit to the 2004, 2009, 2011, and 2015 NCAA Tournaments. A ls o as sis t ing w it h t he women’s side prior to 2016, he helped lead the Tigers to nationals in 2012, 2013, and 2015. Dorst is in her second season with Princeton. Last year, the Tigers finished at 24-4 and reached the CWPA Championship game. She will be responsible for the day-to-day coaching of the women’s team during their championship competition season and recruiting. She will also assist Ellingson with all administrative responsibilities as needed. A former All-American at UCLA, Dorst finished her collegiate career with 92 goals, 23 assists, 87 steals, 32 blocks, and a .471 shot percentage. As a senior in 2014, she garnered ACWPC honor able m e nt ion A l l America honors, racking up 36 goals and 33 steals. During her four seasons, UCLA posted a 105-23 overall record. A national search for Nicolao’s successor will begin in the spring.

Avis Comes Up Big Against Notre Dame But PHS Boys’ Hockey Blows Lead in 4-3 Loss Facing rival Notre Dame last Wednesday evening at the Mercer County Skating Center, the Princeton High boys’ hockey team generated a number of scoring chances. Although PHS outshot the Irish 22-8 through the first two periods, the Little Tigers were trailing 2-1 heading onto the third period. PHS sophomore forward Stephen Avis acknowledged that the Little Tigers squandered that advantage. “We were a little flat,” said Avis. “Even through we were outshooting them, we weren’t putting our opportunities into the goal.” In the third period, Avis put two pucks into the goal, scoring with 13:54 left in regulation to make it 2-2 and then finding the back of the net with 5:43 remaining

as PHS forged ahead 3-2. “The puck bounced out, it was about 10 feet in front of the goal, I just shot it and it went in,” said Avis, recalling his first tally. “The third goal for us was a great play by Ryan McCormick. He went around the net and made a perfect pass to me. The net was wide open and I just had to shoot it in.” It didn’t turn to be a great finish for the Little Tigers as Notre Dame responded with two goals in the last two minutes of the contest to pull out a 4-3 win. “I feel it was a little bit of the bounces went their way and we took some penalties at the end,” said Avis, reflecting on what made the difference for the Irish. Having worked hard over the offseason, the bounces have been going Avis’ way around the net as he has tallied 12 points on five goals and seven assists this season. “I worked on some skating and got more ice time this year,” said Avis, who plays club hockey with the Mercer Chiefs. “I feel like I have a little more experience. I am more confident with the puck.” PHS head coach Tim Chase is seeing some confident play from Avis. “Stephen is a big body, he has been moving his feet a lot more and that has been giving him the chances as of late,” said Chase. “He has a good, quick hard release on his shot.”

While the defeat to Notre Dame was hard to take, Chase was proud of his team’s overall effort. “We skated well today, we battled pretty well in the offensive zone,” said Chase. “Offensively our guys have been generating chances. We need that same intensity in our end when the puck is not there. We dominate the play and then we lose focus on our end and the next thing you know, it is a simple goal.” In Chase’s view, the loss to Notre Dame could ultimately prove to be a blessing in disguise. “Let’s get these out of the way now and learn from them; it is early in the season and we are not together on the ice every day,” said Chase, whose team lost 4-1 to Westfield last Saturday to move to 8-4-2 and has a busy week ahead as it faces Robbinsville on January 17, plays at Middletown South on January 19, plays WW/P on January 20 at Baker Rink, and Hopewell Valley on January 22. “It takes a little while to jell. I am new and they are getting used to me. I figured there would be some bumps in the road.” Avis, for his part, is confident that PHS will keep jelling. “This year we are rolling more lines, we are including more people,” said Avis. “Going forward, we just need to get more ready for the games and c o m e o u t s t r o n g e r.

Getting into the sport as a grade-schooler in Laramie, Wyoming, Barber is gravitated to the the shorter events. “I was a sprinter right from the start, I tried long distance before but I just don’t have the build to stay swimming for a long time,” said Barberis, who joined the PHS swim team as a freshman after his family moved to the area. “I do more of the blasts out rather than spend a lot of time in the water.” This winter, senior star Barberis is blasting to plenty of wins for PHS, starring at the 50 and 100 freestyle. Although he doesn’t compete year round for a club program, Barberis has been able to markedly drop his times while training exclusively with the Little Tigers.

“My freshman year 50 free was 26 seconds and now I am at 22.7, so I have definitely made a lot of progress,” said Barberis. “It is both experience and really working on specific technique. I have built a better understanding of the freestyle. We have workouts every day and I have worked hard with the coaches.” Reflecting on his move to Princeton, Barberis acknowledged that it took him a while to build bonds with his new teammates. “It was definitely hard; I got used to it and made friends here as the years went on,” said Barberis. “Now that I really know the coaches and my teammates, I have a lot of fun on the team.” Now serving as a team captain, Barberis is looking to keep things fun on the deck for PHS. “My approach was laid back but also assertive,” said Barberis. “This is the

first time I have ever really been a captain of anything, so I was just going to try new things. It is a lot of responsibility, but I can handle it.” Barberis is excited by how PHS has handled its business this winter. “The team has done surprisingly well since the beginning,” said Barberis, who won both the 50 and 100 freestyle races to help PHS defeat Hopewell Valley 102-68 and improve to 7-3. “We didn’t really think we would win as much as we have.” With the Mercer County Championships slated for January 25-27 at WW/PNorth, Barberis is primed to keep doing well. “I will definitely try to make the finals; if I do that is awesome,” said Barberis, noting that he made the ‘A’ final in both the 50 and 100 free events at the 2017 county meet. “It is the climax of the season so we are all building towards that. It is a lot of fun, so we will see how it goes.” —Bill Alden

Jada Jones was looking to fit in with the Hun School girls’ basketball team last winter as she joined the program after transferring from Randolph High. The sharp-shooting guard emerged as a go-to scorer, bonding quickly with her new teammates. This season, junior Jones has moved up the pecking order, serving as the

team’s sole captain. “Last year I was getting used to the team,” said Jones. “This year, it is me really trying to evolve as a player and learn my playing type.” For Jones, assuming the role of captain has been a natural progression. “Last season I didn’t have the name captain but I did hold a strong leadership position,” said Jones. “This

SHOOTING STAR: Hun School girls’ basketball player Jada Jones puts up a shot in recent action. Last Saturday, junior guard and team captain Jones scored 20 points to help Hun defeat Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) 66-40. The Raiders, who improved to 4-6 with the win, play Immaculate Conception High at Felician University on January 18, host Sinai Christian Academy on January 20, and then play at Nottingham High on January 22. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

year, having that position made me open my eyes and realize it is time to step it up and time to start growing up.” Jones stepped up in the early going last Wednesday against the Blair Academy, scoring 12 points in the first half. “In the beginning of the game we were showing we could compete, but we didn’t keep that energy through the whole game,” said Jones, reflecting on the contest which saw Hun trailing 8-5 late in the first quarter before finding itself down 31-15 at halftime. Unable to dig out of that hole, the Raiders ultimately fell 58-35. “We knew that this is a beatable team because they are human just like us,” said Jones. “We knew we would have to work; our mindsets could have been better. We were a little thrown off knowing that they have more talent. It all comes down to what we do as a team. If we get it together as a team, we will win more games.” Jones has enjoyed working with post-graduate 6’4 center Kai Volcy, a newcomer to the Hun program this winter. “This is my second year playing point so having someone like her really helps because she is a dominant post player,” said Jones, who scored 20 points to help Hun defeat Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) 66-40 last Saturday as the Raiders improved to 4-6. “That is helping me evolve my game and learn how to play my position better. I really do look up to her.” Jones is hopeful that Hun can evolve into a title contender this winter. “Going forward, we need to understand that the game is really mental and physical is second,” said Jones, who will look to keep Hun on the winning track as it plays Immaculate Conception High at Felician University on January 18, hosts Sinai Christian Academy on January 20, and then plays at Nottingham High on January 22. “If we have it in our minds that we have got this, we can do this and it will really show. That is something we have to work on because overall, we have a stronger chemistry this year than last year. We just have to put it all together and we are struggling with that.” —Bill Alden

With Senior Star Doran Saving His Best for Last, PHS Boys’ Hoops Fighting Through Tough Stretch Even though the Princeton High boys’ basketball team trailed Robbinsville 45 -29 he ad ing into t he fourth quarter last week, Tommy Doran wasn’t about to give up. PHS senior guard Doran scored nine points to help spark a late rally that saw the Little Tigers cut the deficit to nine points before they fell 60-47 in the January 9 contest. “Usually I focus on threepoint shooting, that is my specialty,” said Doran. “Tonight that wasn’t going for me so I wanted to be able to bring in other facets of my game. I was trying to get up the floor in transition and finish at the rim, which I felt I did pretty well.” Doran acknowledged that it took a while for PHS to get going against the Ravens as it trailed 24-14 at the half. “We struggled to get anything. We scored four points in the first quarter which is obviously not what we are looking for,” said Doran. “We were having trouble get ting into our rhy t hm and flow; we weren’t hitting shots.” In the second half, the Little Tigers found a rhythm offensively, scoring 33 points over the last 16 minutes of the contest. “We were causing some t u r n ove r s a n d we we r e grabbing some rebounds,” said Doran. “We were getting out in transition and we were finishing which is what we really talked about.” As Doran heads down the homestretch of his PHS career, he is looking to finish on a high note. “I think it is just having more of an aggressive instinct,” said Doran, who

ended up with a team-high 14 points against Robbinsville. “A lot of guys in the past have closed out on me hard because I am decent threepoint shooter. By pump faking and going by them and being more aggressive, I am expanding my repertoire offensively a little bit and playing a bigger role offensively.” The team’s senior class is looking to instill an aggressive attitude throughout the squad. “We give ever ything in every practice and we are trying to get these guys motivated,” said Doran. “I think we saw some of that tonight in the second half but it needs to be there 100 percent of the time.” PHS head coach Pat Noone liked the way his players showed some fire in the second half. “It was just getting into the flow of our offense,” said Noone. “It is one of those things, if you make a couple of shots, you will get going and get energized.” Noone credited Doran with giving the Little Tigers some energy as they mounted the late rally. “Tom has got that ability to really hit shots,” said Noone. “When he got to the hole, that opens up the jump shot.” I n ad d it ion to D or a n, sophomore Amon Jakisa, s en ior S a m Tar ter, a nd sophomore Jay Jackson hit some shots in the loss to Robbinsville. “Amon is pretty good, he is coming to us from Germany,” added Noone. “Sam was good. Jay Jackson had a good start early on, the only problem was that he got into foul trouble.”

While PHS has struggled in the early going, Noone sees no problem with his players’ competitive spirit. “They are not quitting, we are down 22 and cut it to eight, that is not a sign of a one-win team, that is a sign of a .500 team that thinks they can always win,” said Noone, whose squad lost 63-32 to Ewing last Friday to fall to 1-9 and will look to get on the winning track as it plays at Trenton on January 19, at Palmyra on January 20, and at Hightstown on January 23. “That was the good thing. We just are not making the plays. We are a team that is pressing right now. We are looking for a shot, we are looking for something.” Doran, for his part, believes that the Little Tigers have what it takes to do some good things this winter. “In the first game of the season (a 60-34 win over Lawrence on December 15) we came out full of energy and we haven’t been able to replicate that all season,” said Doran. “We have been holding teams to the 40s and 50s defensively, that is in range of winning. Now that we know we can put up 47; if we are holding teams to what we do usually then we can start to turn this season around.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Jones’ Production, Maturity, Hun Girls’ Hoops Aiming to Put it Together

With the graduation of senior stars and 1,000-point scorers Chase Lewis and John McArthur last June, Dav id “Digg y” Coit was primed to be the man this winter for the Princeton Day School boys’ basketball team. “This is what I wanted,” said Coit. “I wanted to be the leader, I wanted all eyes to be on me, so it is just about adjusting and making it happen.” L ast T hursday against visiting Pennsauken Tech, things weren’t happening for PDS as it trailed 24-12 at halftime. “The biggest thing for us, especially me, was not knocking down our shots,” said Coit, who recent ly eclipsed the 1,000 -point mark in his PDS career. “It was tough focusing. Yesterday I was out sick so

I was just trying to get back into it.” It didn’t take long for Coit to get back into it as he drained a three-pointer from the corner to start the third quarter and proceeded to score the next eight points for PDS, helping it narrow the gap to 30-25. “I just wanted to be aggressive; I knew I had to make up for the first half,” said Coit, reflecting on his second half surge which saw him total 14 of PDS’s 16 points in the third quarter. “Being aggressive is the biggest thing and that is what my team needed.” The Panthers, though, couldn’t get over the hump as Pennsauken pulled away to a 56-41 triumph. “We were gambling and they got fast breaks and uncontested lay-ups,” said Coit, who ended up with 18 points in the setback.

“We just stopped being aggressive and stopped being smart. We started rushing and panicking and it caused us to turn over the ball and then we gave up free layups.” As the team’s sole captain, Coit is looking to turn it on every night. “We have a young team and people look up to me; people need me to produce every night,” said Coit, who tallied 27 points to help PDS defeat Doane Academy 74-71 in overtime last Saturday as the Panthers improved to 5-7. PDS head coach Kerr y Foderingham liked the way Coit stepped up against Pennsauken. “The guys got him the ball in good spots and he hit some shots in that one period,” said Foderingham. While Foderingham was proud of how his players fought back, he acknowl-

edged that the Panthers were out of synch offensively for most of the contest. “We were r ight t here ; we fell behind early and it wasn’t a great scoring night for us obviously,” said Foderingham. “We had 12 points at the half, that is the lowest we have scored. We average 12-15 a quarter or more. It was one of the lower scoring games we have had, it was one of those nights.” PDS has been get t ing some great play from freshman guards Freddie Young Jr. and Dameon Samuels. “Freddie Young is a starter. He plays a ton of minutes for a freshman and I think he is doing a hell of a job for us,” said Foderingham of Young, who chipped in 13 points against Pennsauken.

“Samuels gives us a spark every time he comes in. His defensive presence is special. He is that guy we can count on to be a lock up defender to get us some steals. He is averaging two or three steals per game.” In Foderingham’s view, PDS has the potential to do some special things down the stretch. “ We j u s t h ave to g e t healthy; it is that time of the year where everyone is dealing with those little injuries,” said Foderingham, whose team hosts the Solebury School (Pa.) on January 18 and Allentown on January 20 before playing at Hamilton West on January 22.

“The No. 2 thing is to keep a good mindset and don’t get down. Obviously with this loss you get down, but we need to keep a positive mindset. We have got to work to get better for the next game and that is it. If we do that, we will grow.” Coit, for his part, vows that the loss will only sharpen his focus. “I hate losing. I am not a loser, I can’t sleep at night when we lose,” said Coit. “We have enough pieces. We have got good guards and we are getting help from our bigs, which is key. It is about putting the pieces together and trusting each other.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries John Frederick Bernard John Frederick Bernard, longtime insurance executive and ice hockey enthusiast, often described as “Mr. Hockey,” died on Friday, January 12, 2018 at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. He was 94 years old and a longtime Princeton resident. Born in 1923 in Cambridge, Mass., Mr. Bernard grew up in Wellesley Hills, Mass. where he enjoyed playing ice hockey and other sports. He attended Wellesley High School and graduated from Exeter Academy in 1943. He served in the U.S. Army with the 20th Armored Division in Europe for two years before attending Princeton University where he played varsity hockey and lacrosse and was a member of Tiger Inn. A f ter g raduat ing f rom Princeton in 1949, Mr. Bernard began working as a special agent for the Phoenix Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn. After several years, he and Mel Dickenson, a Princeton classmate whom he had known at Exeter, decided to start their own firm, MP Dickenson, which began in Philadelphia

and later moved to Princeton. In 1958 they merged it with the firm owned by H.C. (“Cobbles”) Sturhahn to become Sturhahn, Dickenson, and Bernard or SDB. Mr. Bernard was married in 1952 to Peggy Donahue, who grew up in Vermont. They lived in Montclair, N.J. for several years before moving to Princeton in 1958. As his two sons reached the age at which they could skate, he founded Pee Wee Hockey, based at the University’s Baker Rink.
