Council Postpones Bond Ordinance Vote On Open Space Land Princeton Council decided Monday night to postpone until February 8 a decision on the $4.4 million purchase of a 20.4-acre parcel of vacant land between Mt. Lucas Road and Route 206. The land, slated to be preserved as open space, would be purchased with $2.2 million funding from the Mercer County Open Space Fund, $153,000 from the Williams Transco Pipeline project, $100,000 from Friends of Princeton Open Space, and additional funds from the NJ Green Acres Program, with little or no municipal funding required, according to municipal administrator Marc Dashield. Council’s plans for the purchase were derailed, at least temporarily, by Governor Chris Christie’s decision to delay release of the Green Acres funds in order to make them a part of the budget process, rather than a decision of the legislature. The debate in Trenton continues, according to Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, not about whether Princeton will receive the Green Acres money but over how the Green Acres funding will be determined. “The message I got was that the money would be there,” she said. The two-week postponement in approving the ordinance would make the February 15 closing date impossible and perhaps jeopardize the purchase. Council will seek further assurances of the Green Acres funding before their February 8 meeting. The bond would not take effect, and the closing could not take place, until 20 days after the Council passes the bond ordinance. The land, which would be purchased from Princeton Land Development LLC, would be added as open space to the Princeton Ridge Preserve, and the development company has agreed to abandon its application and plans for construction of 36 townhouses on the property. Five of the six Council members, as well as the mayor, who cannot vote on this issue except in the case of a tie, spoke in favor of the purchase, as did several residents who contributed during the public commentary period. Bernie Miller was the one Council member clearly opposed to the ordinance, claiming “we’ve exceeded the goal of the Master Plan for open space, but we continue to acquire open space.” Mr. Continued on Page 8

Town Digs Out After Massive Winter Storm

As the sun finally emerged following one of the worst snow storms in the history of the Eastern seaboard, Sunday was a day of transition in Princeton, where 22 inches of snow were reported according to the National Weather Service. Early in the day the snow and wind, which had reached blizzard conditions Saturday evening, subsided, The state of emergency was lifted, flood waters at the shore subsided, power outages were restored, and Governor Chris Christie returned to New Hampshire after a twoday interruption in his presidential primary campaigning. People emerged from their houses, many for the first time in more than 36 hours, and the massive snow-shoveling project began, along with some sledding, snowball fights, and snowman making. Almost all area schools were closed Monday, but New Jersey Transit trains and buses, which had been suspended for much of the weekend, were back in operation, with some delays, and area airports were gradually restoring normal service. “This was a tough one,” said Princeton Director of Infrastructure and Operations

Robert Hough. The local public works road crews of about 35 were on duty from 9 p.m. Friday straight through to mid-day Sunday, and they were back Monday morning continuing with snow removal and clean-up. “The biggest problem was that the snow continued to come, one wave of snow after another,” Mr. Hough described. “It was a very big event, one of the worst I’ve seen, but the crews came through.” Main roads were passable by the time of Sunday morning’s lifting of a travel ban,

but many side streets were still snow-covered, parking on many streets was impossible, and mountains of snow everywhere made visibility and walking difficult. Sunday night and early Monday frigid temperatures made for dangerously icy conditions, but puddles of slush began to mix with ice as warmer temperatures arrived Monday afternoon and Tuesday. Road crews were focused Monday and Tuesday on clearing one-way streets and other locations where emergency vehicles Continued on Page 6

Fraga Announces Bid for Council While Simon Decides Not to Run The list of Democratic candidates for Princeton Council continues to grow, with Leticia Fraga, the former chairperson of Mayor Liz Lempert’s re-election campaign, the latest to announce her intention to run. But Council member Patrick Simon, who was considering re-election to the governing body or a run for mayor, announced last week that he has opted to do neither. “After careful consideration, I have decided that I will not seek reelection

to Princeton Council this year, and also that I will not seek election to the office of mayor of Princeton,” Mr. Simon said in an email. “Instead, I will focus my efforts in 2016 on serving out the remainder of my current term on Princeton’s municipal council to the best of my ability. I am very grateful to the members of the Princeton community who have stepped forward to run for local office, incumbents and newcomers alike, and to those others Continued on Page 8

Subsequent to an investigation into a January 22 assault, Arnoldo Agreda-Rodriguez was arrested at his residence on January 25. He was charged with one count of terroristic threats and one count of simple assault. Bail was set at $15,000 with a 10 percent posting option. The investigation revealed that the victim, a 48-year-old female Princeton resident, had been previously acquainted with the accused and was not randomly targeted. Mr. Agreda-Rodriguez was transported to the Mercer County Correctional Center as he was unable to post bail. The attack occurred when the victim was walking north on Witherspoon Street near Green Street. After being struck from behind, she was brought to a vacant house at 20 Green Street where the assault continued until she escaped by jumping from a window. Police and Princeton First Aid and Rescue responded and the victim was transported to Capital Health with multiple injuries. ——— On January 13, at 4:05 p.m., a Longview Drive resident reported that sometime between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. someone stole her wallet containing cash and credit cards from her car while it was parked on Bank Street. An unauthorized purchase was made on her debit card. On January 17, at 1:15 a.m., a 43-year-old male was assaulted by an unknown individual on the 100 block of Birch Avenue. The victim was unable to identify the

Correction An article that ran on page 5 of the January 20 issue of Town Topics, “From Belly Dancing to Bubble Tea: New Restaurants Offer a Range of Tastes,” stated incorrectly that Bella Boutique in Princeton Shopping Center is leaving and the baker LiLLiPieS is coming in. According to Bella Boutique, that store is not leaving the shopping center. The bakery is going to occupy a space that is currently vacant, across from Taco Truck.

A Community Celebration of Black History Month In partnership with community members and organizations, Princeton Public Schools is sponsoring educational events to celebrate Black History Month in February 2016, culminating in An Evening of Gospel Music and Dance on Feb. 19, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. at the Princeton High School Performing Arts Center. Our 2016 Black History Month Celebration will highlight the development of gospel music as an art form under the direction of guest clinician J. Donald Dumpson, a composer, conductor, and educator. Dr. Dumpson, who serves as the minister of music and arts at Arch Street Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, will lead PPS elementary and middle school assemblies on the history and influence of gospel music as well as workshops for the high school choirs on gospel style and authentic performance practice. The Black History Month celebration, now a tradition at PPS, has evolved into a tremendous community event, often to sellout crowds, that touches the lives of performers and audiences alike. “This has become a very emotional experience for the PHS choir as they learn a repertoire that is new to them,” said PPS Arts Supervisor Pat Lenihan. “It invites our singers, as [2012 guest clinician] Raymond Wise expressed it, to bring that spiritual experience with them.” Assistant Superintendent Lew Goldstein, who originally helped organize the first Black History concerts and events, which have always enjoyed broad community support, sees it as a learning experience for all. “This is a great opportunity to promote unity, educate people, and raise consciousness.” The stated goal of guest clinician Donald Dumpson, who served as the founding conductor and artistic director of the Westminter Choir College Jubilee singers from 1994 to 2011, is to build bridges for creative cultural exchanges through the arts, music education, and ministry. In past years, PPS celebrated the artistic contributions of African Americans by introducing students and community members to the rich and diverse genres of American music. Guest musicians have been invited to perform in assemblies for students and evening concerts for the community. Many of the events have also featured performances by students from schools across the district. Past guest musicians have included trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, drummer Lenny White, blues musicians Lucky and Tamara Peterson, gospel composer Raymond Wise, and gospel singer William Heard. Be a part of the tradition! An Evening of Gospel Music and Dance When: Friday, Feb. 19, 2016, 7:30 p.m. Where: Princeton High Performing Arts, corner of Walnut Lane & Franklin Ave., Princeton Featuring: Composer and Conductor J. Donald Dumpson; the Princeton High School choirs; the Revelation Praise Dance Ministry of First Baptist Church of Princeton; and members of the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church and First Baptist Church of Princeton choirs.

Question of the Week: “What are your favorite snow day activities?”

might have problems, as well as areas with high parking volume. Crews were also in the area of schools, checking and clearing crosswalks in preparation for Tues day openings — most with a 90-minute to two-hour delay. “T he delay w i l l a l low temperatures to rise above freezing and for rush hour traffic to subside,” said School Superintendent Steve Cochrane. Mr. Cochrane war ned about uncleared sidewalks, limited parking at the high school and visibility limited by piles of snow. Digging operations continued Monday and Tuesday as property owners worked to meet the Tuesday deadline — 48 hours from the last snow at 8 a.m. Sunday — for clearing sidewalks. “Not back to normal yet,” Mr. Hough declared. “For the next week we’ll be continuing clean-up and snow removal from parking lots and streets At some street corners there are high mounds of snow obstructing vision, and we will be getting them cleared.” Mr. Hough warned of the hazards of snow shoveled or blown into roadways and also advised people to follow city ordinances and calls from police to move their cars off the streets. There were no storm-related serious injuries locally, according to Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter. Eight s tor m -related c asualt ies were reported elsewhere in the state, 29 throughout the East Coast. There were t wo minor motor vehicle accidents in Princeton on Sunday and about ten stranded motorists. “The biggest problem,” Mr. Sutter said, “was the stranded motorists,” but he reported that “everything was slowly getting back to normal” by Monday afternoon. Trash pick-up scheduled for Monday was rescheduled for Tuesday and Monday recycling has been postponed to Saturday, January 30. Princeton Mayor Liz Lemper t, at Monday night’s Council meeting, announced a special thank you to local service personnel, “everybody working together.

Trenton-Mercer Airport in Ewing Township will get a new passenger terminal to accommodate the dramatic increase in the number of travelers since Frontier Airlines began flying out of the facility in 2012. Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes described the nearly $50 -million project during his annual State of the County address January 21 at a luncheon sponsored by the MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce at the Hyatt Regency Princeton. “The growth at the airport has been incredible,” Mr. Hughes said. “Close to a million passengers move through the airport each year.” In the fall of 2014, a $7-million project to enlarge the waiting area, add a new baggage claim facility, and expand parking lots was undertaken, financed by funds recovered through airport revenue. But it wasn’t enough. The growing popularity of the small airfield off of Interstate 95 has created an increasing need for more space both inside and outside the terminal. “At current levels, we will continue to bring $2 million per year through the airport, and those funds are avail-

able to reinvest into future improvements,” Mr. Hughes said. “Our region can support even further growth at the airport. But the passenger terminal is almost 50 years old, and much too small and outdated to handle that volume. We will miss too many opportunities if we don’t address this issue now.” The County will “expedite the planning process and move aggressively” to design and build a new terminal. The project could take up to four years. Before the Denver-based Frontier Airlines took over operations of the airfield, several carriers had tried and failed to turn it into a viable alternative to Philadelphia and Newark airports. The most recent was Eastwind, in 1995. Most residents were unfamiliar with Frontier when the airline came in, but the carrier has successfully marketed itself as a more convenient, and often less costly alternative to the larger carriers at bigger airports. Education, Mercer at Play Also at the meeting, Mr. Hughes announced the creation of the Mercer County Partnership for Educational Attainment, to strengthen the credentials of the local workforce. “Economists agree that education is the single most important factor in determining regional economic success,” he said. “And improving educational

attainment is probably the single most important thing we can do for the future of our region.” Jianping Wang, the new president of Mercer County Community College, will serve as chair of the panel. The presidents of Princeton, Rider, and Thomas Edison State universities, and The College of New Jers ey, have been asked to participate, Mr. Hughes said. His goal for the new commission, which will also include business leaders and other stakeholders, is to increase the percentage of the County’s workforce with a college degree or equivalent by one percent, or about 2,500 people, over the next five years.

unearthed the remains of Joseph Bonaparte’s palatial estate, Point Breeze. Joseph, the elder brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and former King of Spain and Naples, fled to the United States in 1815 and lived in New Jersey until 1839, where he acted as an unofficial cultural attaché. Bonaparte held the largest library and art collection in the country at the time, and entertained many of the leading intellectuals, politicians, artists, and military figures. His passion was landscape architecture, and at Point Breeze he designed a unique 1900-acre picturesque landscape. This intriguing pre-

sentation will examine the archaeological evidence of the life of New Jersey’s only king in exile. Mr. Veit is professor of anthropology and chair of the department of history and anthropology at Monmouth University. In 2007 he was the recipient of Monmouth University’s distinguished teacher award. He teaches courses on archaeology, New Jersey history, Native Americans, and historic preservation. He has authored or coauthored numerous articles and reviews and five books including Digging New Jersey’s Past: Historical Archaeology in the

New Passenger Terminal Planned For the Trenton-Mercer Airport

who may choose to do so as well in the days and weeks ahead. I wish them well.” Fellow Democrat Amner Deleon, who serves on the town’s Traffic and Transpor tation Commit tee, is still mulling over a run for Council. “At this point what I can share with you is that I

am still strongly considering a run,” he said in an email on Monday. “It is an exciting time for the party, seeing great qualified citizens stepping up and wanting to run. I look forward to making my final decision soon.” The terms of Mr. Simon and Jenny Crumiller will be up this year. Ms. Crumiller has indicated she will run for another three-year term.

Democrat Tim Quinn, former school board chairman, recently announced his intention to enter the race. Mr. Quinn is the marketing and communications director of the Princeton Public Library, where he has worked since 2000. Ms. Fraga, who is vicechair of Princeton’s Human Services Commission, said her decision to run came

after much deliberation and the urging of friends and colleagues. “Knowing of my passion for helping and involvement in the community, people who know me planted the seed several years ago,” she said. “I was enjoying the work I was doing for boards and commissions. But I felt this was a good time for me to add to my advocacy work.”

Leticia Fraga Born in Mexico, Ms. Fraga immigrated to the United States with her family when she was 12. She is one of eight children. “As soon as we were born, my father would do the paper work needed in case we immigrated,” she said. “I feel very fortunate about that. My father was born in the U.S. I have great sympathy for those who don’t have that option.” The family lived in Washington state. Ms. Fraga met her husband Steve Nadler, who works for Bristol Myers Squibb, in Seattle. The couple moved to New Jersey in 1999. They are the parents of 11-year-old twins.

Ms. Fraga is also the mother of three grown children and has seven grandchildren. Prior to moving to New Jersey, she worked in civil rights enforcement, investigating and mediating complaints of discrimination. She also worked as a paralegal for public defender offices. In Princeton, Ms. Fraga has served on several boards and commissions. She chairs the town’s sub-committee on civil rights, and is Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund. She is a member of the Board of Trustees of Princeton Community Housing and the Princeton YWCA, where she has worked on “Send Hunger Packing,” the local initiative that addresses food insecurity. Ms. Fraga considers herself a relative newcomer to politics. “I don’t have experience in the political world,” she said. “It’s fairly new to me. But I did help out in the 2008 and 2012 elections, manning phone banks. When we lived in what was formerly the township I was a committee woman for my district.” The fact that Ms. Fraga would probably be the first Latino to serve on the governing body if elected is not her reason for running. “It would be a proud moment for me and my family and community,” she said. “But that’s not why I’m doing this. I’m running because I feel I have a lot to contribute to the town.” Affordability and making educational opportunities available to more members of the community figure high on her list of priorities. “One common thread I hear about is the issue of affordability,” she said. “The lack of affordable rentals is one thing. I’d be trying to work on solutions, but of course it’s not something that can be solved overnight. The other thing is that we have great schools here, but I’m very aware that not every family is able to take advantage. Not everyone can provide computers for their children, which is a problem. I’d be working on closing that achievement gap. I feel strongly that we need to find a way to break that pattern of disadvantage. It will make the whole community stronger, not just that segment.” —Anne Levin

Miller called for use of open space funds to improve current Princeton open space, making it more accessible to the public, with better trails and signage and more convenient parking. A m o n g ot h e r C o u n c i l members, Heather Howard emphasized “what an excellent opportunity this is,” and Lance Liverman concurred, saying “I would like to move forward with this project. It’s a great opportunity at this point in time to secure these acres for Princeton.” Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller noted the environmental advantages in the purchase, the favorable financial conditions for the town, and the opportunity to prevent an age-55-andolder housing development. “We don’t want that kind of development in Princeton,”

she said. “It would be an undesirable addition.” Expressing consternation with the delay in funding, council member Patrick Simon refused to support the ordinance until he could be sure the money would be provided without tax payer obligation. “People find answers to all our concerns,” he said, “then in Trenton Governor Christie blew it.” Mr. Christie’s action, in the form of a pocket veto, “has taken away my confidence in the funding being there,” Mr. Simon said. Councilwoman Jo Butler, though supportive of the open space project, also refused to vote in favor until financing details were cleared up. After much deliberation, the Council opted to follow the proposal of municipal attorney Trishka Cecil and delay the vote until their next meeting, “when we’ll have more information that may or may not bring you to a greater level of comfort on this decision.” Wendy Mager, president of Friends of Princeton Open Space, urged the Council to approve the ordinance, claiming that “it’s not a case of the funds not being there,” but “only a process issue.” She described the Green Acres funds as “constitutionally dedicated money” that “may be delayed while the governor and legislature work out this issue.” Ms. Mager went on to describe Princeton Ridge as “an extremely impor tant piece of preserved land.” “You made the right decision in introducing this ordinance,” she said. Library and Police Matters In other Council business, new library director Brett Bonfield was introduced and spoke briefly, stating that he was “very excited” to be joining Princeton Public Library. “How cosmopolitan this community is,” he said. “They know they are a part of the world and they take that responsibility seriously.” He also mentioned how impressed he was with the technological knowledge and understanding in the community. In his 2015 Police Report to the Council, Police Chief Nick Sutter discussed a number of issues, including an assault last week currently under investigation, an increase in applications for gun permits, the problem of vacant houses, drug violations and increases in arrests and service calls. Mr. Sutter responded to questions from Council members and explained that the increase in police activity in 2015 was in accordance with their policy “to be more proactive, especially with regard to traffic. We mitigate issues through police pressure and enforcement. Those numbers are going to go up. That’s our officers responding to our community.” The Council at Monday’s meeting also discussed goals and priorities for 2016, and decided to vote on a resolution for 2016 priorities at their February 8 session. —Donald Gilpin

Mailbox Retired Surgeon Describes Excellent Treatment At University Medical Center Princeton/Plainsboro

To the Editor: Superficialities during my recent three-day stay at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro were outstanding, much better than anticipated. These included: the palatial single patient room, the very good food that arrived hot, beautiful scenic view from my window, decor everywhere. The deep down most important aspects of my hospitalization and major surgery-joint replacement are why I am writing to attest to the excellence of this institution in our fortunate midst! From the pre-hospital test-taking procedures, the seamless admission process on operative day, all the meetings with Or and anesthesia personnel, then the care after the operation, by everyone who came to talk with me or to administer medication or treatment, I was and remain so impressed by the care and attention to detail to make my operation and hospital stay SAFE. My room was clean, spotless. Everyone who approached me, without exception, made certain who I was. All were pleasant, helpful, and always professional. The nursing staff is incredibly fine. Details! Tiny details make all the difference. Although now a retired surgeon, I remain a detail person because the most lovely surgical operation can be sabotaged by a tiny detail error. I am grateful to the UMCPP and especially to Dr. Tom gutowski and his fine joint replacement team. JAy CHAnDlEr russell road

Because of Erin Dougherty’s Skilled Leadership, HSP Has Been Able to Live Up to Its Vision

To the Editor: On behalf of our staff, our Board of Trustees, and our friends and supporters in the community, we wish a fond farewell to Erin Dougherty as she moves to an exciting new opportunity as the executive director of the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida. The Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) has blossomed under Erin’s leadership over the last nine years. The organization has boldly expanded its programs of learning and discovery for both children and adults. At HSP, youngsters can enjoy bug safaris or digging in the organic garden at the Society’s new Updike Farmstead home. Students come to us to play history detective, studying 300 years of Princeton history by visiting historic places and exploring related topics. At HSP, researchers can lose themselves in a search through our historic manuscripts and drawings. Visitors of all ages can see Einstein’s furniture in a salon exhibition paired alongside a rotating display of Princeton innovators. HSP is where you go for downtown history tours, inspirational lectures, the incomparable fall house tour, and the summer Concert Under the Stars. Under Erin’s leadership, Princeton history has come alive. Several significant accomplishments of Erin’s deserve particular attention. Erin planned and executed a longdeferred relocation of HSP’s large collection of 3D objects and archival materials into a secure and climate-controlled space under its own direct control. Future researchers and historians will benefit greatly from this significant project to preserve and care for the collection. Erin also managed the transition of HSP headquarters to its owned campus at Updike Farmstead, a location where the organization

has ample room for future growth and innovation. Already underway is a significant renovation of the historic barn, a space that is destined to become a magnet for cultural and social gatherings in our town. As a direct consequence of Erin’s skilled leadership, HSP is now on an extremely secure financial footing. Thank you, Erin, for your stewardship. Because of your work, HSP has been able to live up to its vision: to pass along the important lessons of the past in order to promote respectful and responsible behavior among people, and toward the built and natural world around us. SCOTT SIPPrEllE President, Historical Society of Princeton, Chambers Street

Thanks to Good Samaritan Who Helped Solve the Case of the Missing Car Keys

To the Editor: On Thursday afternoon a very kind stranger named Mary V. came to my rescue when I thought I lost my car keys at McCaffrey’s supermarket. First she walked through the store searching along the lower shelves. The women at the office were also extremely kind, taking my phone number in case the keys were found. Meanwhile Mary took the time to comfort me, looked through my bags, and then insisted on driving me home for a spare key, going in the opposite direction of her own home. We discovered my keys between the front seats in my locked car. Advice: never lock your car without using your key and do not the lock your car from the inside. MArIlyn FrEEBErg leabrook lane

Congrats to State Legislature for Veto of DEP’s Proposed Changes to Flood Hazard Control Act

To the Editor: Congratulations and thanks to our state legislature for standing up for the environment through its enactment of SCr 180. The bill legislatively vetoes the new Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s proposed changes to the Flood Hazard Control Act. The changes would have rolled back or weakened rules that restrict further development in flood plains and many other measures that lessen the negative effects of storm water runoff on our streams. Much of new Jersey was developed before we fully understood the impact that our development actions would have on our waterways. Consequently, property losses from flooding in new Jersey are among the greatest of any state and our water is too dirty. We learn from our mistakes. The Flood Hazard Control Act keeps us from repeating those mistakes, thereby preventing even more flooding and even dirtier water. The DEP has disingenuously claimed that the proposed revisions only eliminate bureaucratic red tape and streamline rules. Most advocates for our waterways, such as the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association (where I am a Trustee), dispute this claim. Indeed, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency concluded that the proposed revisions conflict with federal regulations. Many citizens contacted their state representatives to urge that they vote to block the new rules. We are grateful that they heard us and acted. There are still several actions the legislature may have to take if the DEP continues to ignore the legislative intent of the Act. I urge new Jersey’s legislature and citizens to keep up this fight to protect our water. SCOTT SIllArS Patton Avenue

Margaret O’Reilly, curator of fine art and acting director of the New Jersey State Museum, organized the exhibition. In discussing abstraction, O’Reilly references renowned artist Wassily Kandinksy, who wrote in the 1920s, “Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential.” She explains, “The works in the exhibition at TCNJ, all created since 1950, expand on the discussions begun by pioneering abstract artists, such as Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. The artists employ a great range of styles and techniques — geometry, gesture, expressionism, optical illusion — to convey their ideas.” TCNJ’s Art Gallery is located in the AIMM Building on the campus at 2000 Pennington Road in Ewing. Gallery hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from noon-7 p.m., and Sundays from 1-3 p.m. All Art Gallery exhibitions are free and open to the public.

TFAP@TEN features the works of six artists in the TFAP Regional New Jersey Chapter. Collectively these artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; works intertwine visceral aspects of the natural world and the human condition, while having a strong focus on formal practice and narratives. Jaz Grafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawings and So Yoon Lymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works on paper focus on patterns and textures inspired by animals, organic materials, and the human body. Found and used materials infiltrate the sculptural works of both Adrienne Wheeler and Babs Reingold. Anonda Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site-specific installations and Nancy Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed media works encompass space with figurative and organic forms that are both eerie and comforting. To accompany the exhibition, CWAH will publish a comprehensive free online catalog with essay by Midori

New York City Ballet Dancer Guest Teaches at Local Studio she said of her early years at City Ballet, which she joined at 17. “I always stood in class behind Margaret Tracy and Miranda Weese, and just copied them,” she said of the former ballerinas. “That’s how you learn. You copy.” Risa Kaplowitz, co-founder and director of the studio in Princeton Forrestal Village, invited Ms. Bouder to teach after seeing a post on Facebook saying she was available for teaching during the next few months. Arrangements were made, and 28 students quickly signed up for the two-hour session. “The dancers absolutely loved her class, corrections, and advice,” Ms. Kaplowitz said. “The movement was faster than many typically do at this point in their training because Ashley was giving them all a taste of the Balanchine technique, which has generally sharper

accents and quicker tempos than typical classical technique. The students enjoyed the challenge immensely.” In a video about Ms. Bouder, CIty Ballet ballet master Peter Martins says that as a dancer, she reminds him “of nobody else.” Audiences relish her speed and fearless attack, which sometimes cause her to fall on stage. H er te ch n ic a l g if t s are considerable. But she has worked hard to develop her softer, more lyrical side, required for such roles as Odette, the white swan, in Swan Lake.” She grew up in central Pennsylvania and was trained by Marcia Dale Weary, whose school has turned out numerous professionals with major ballet companies. Despite Ms. Bouder’s busy City Ballet schedule of rehearsals and performances, her guest gigs with other companies around the world, and her pursuit of a degree in political science from Fordham Universit y, she makes time to teach at the company’s training ground, the School of A mer ican Ballet, when a substitute is needed. She also teaches at Ballet Academy East and Manhattan Youth Ballet in New York City. “I started teaching when I was 13 or 14,” she said during an interview after the Princeton class. “Marcia Dale Weary takes people who have an aptitude for teaching and starts them off teaching the youngest classes. I had a class on Saturday mornings of really little ones. Now, I prefer to teach older students. I like seeing them improve — seeing that light in their eyes when they get it, when they really understand.” Times have changed since

Founded 1973

WATCH AND LEARN: Teaching a recent master class at Princeton Dance and Theater Studio, New York City Ballet principal dancer Ashley Bouder urged students to stand behind more experienced dancers in their classes and learn by copying what they do. She is nearly six months pregnant with her first baby, due at the end of April. the days when George Balanchine, the famous choreographer who co-founded City Ballet and died in 1983, was running the company. Going to college, having babies, and doing guest appearances outside the troupe was generally frowned upon. “Balanchine wanted his ballerinas to be his,” Ms. Bouder said. “But the world has completely changed. You can’t run an arts organization like that anymore. A lot of us go to college, taking a few courses at a time. And these days, City Ballet goes above and beyond with maternity leave. They want you to look and feel your best, so they are very generous with time. And Peter Martins let me dance until I was showing too much.” Ms. Bouder’s last performance was just a month or so ago, as the Sugar Plum Fairy in City Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. She is planning to take just a few months off after the birth of her baby — a girl due April 30 — and be ready to dance with the company when they travel to Paris in the summer. Like many of her colleagues, Ms. Bouder is active in social media and frequently tweets about her personal life. “It shows I’m a real person if I’m posting pictures of my dog or information about my pregnancy,” she said. “All of my shows when I was pregnant were sold out.” Her fiancé, who works in private equity, comes to her performances with a bouquet of flowers. When she debuted in the ballet La Sylphide a few months ago, he threw her a surprise party at the Tavern on the Green restaurant. “He’s the most supportive

person I know,” she said, with a contented smile. Following the class, and before tak ing self ies of themselves with Ms. Bouder, students crowded around her to ask questions. What is her favorite role? “The Firebird,” she said. “It has great make-up and hair.” What was your biggest obstacle? “When someone tells you you can’t do something, and you just have to do it,”

At n e a rl y s i x m ont h s into her pregnancy, Ashley Bouder’s ballerina silhouette is interrupted by a small, round bump. But the acclaimed New York City Ballet principal dancer, who taught a recent master class at Princeton Dance and Theater Studio, remains as lithe as ever. T he long neck, grace ful arms, and razor-sharp, pointed feet were all in evidence as she led some 28 students through a full class that challenged them on several levels. Ms. Bouder, who is 32, mixed up timings and encouraged the aspiring dancers to “change it up a little.” When a group of less experienced students had trouble mastering a particularly tricky combination, she urged them to stand behind the older dancers and do what they do. “That’s what I did when I got into the company,”

“Life Follows Chekhov” for Turkish Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan

tirred from sleep by the sound of something large and loud moving in the night, I thought at first that someone was moaning. Really. It was like the sound of a giant enduring a massively bad dream. We were three hours into the Sunday morning after Saturday’s snowfall but our block-long cul de sac was not under attack; we were being rescued, liberated. Seen from the bedroom window, the larger of the two machines had an unreal immensity that made our little street resemble a road in the Caucasus. No wonder, I’d been reading Chekhov at bedtime after a long afternoon watching Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s mesmerizing Chekhovian epic, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. The sound of machines in the night sends my thoughts back to Ceylan (pronounced “jay-len”) and the sounds and images of the world we’d lived in during that afternoon’s white-out. Three sets of headlights, two cars and a jeep, on a moonlit steppe, converging now on one spot, now on another, searching for the place where a killer buried his victim. Voices shouting, swallowed up in the night. Is it here? Is this it? The handcuffed man is dazed, lost, can’t be sure. There was a round tree. Or was it a fountain? No. Not here. The accused killer, his face dark, flayed, tortured, at once christlike and satanic, sits in the back seat between a doctor and a prosecutor. Another stop, another futile search. When one of the policemen shakes the branches of an apple tree lit by headlights, a big red-yellow apple lands on the ground and goes rolling and bouncing downhill in a wayward trajectory seen first from the side, then head-on as it plops into a stream which carries it along while the men bicker. What do we do now? Give up? The apple’s journey ends against a row of rocks. Like an image of the futile quest, it has gone as far as it can go, the stream flowing around it as the voices discuss the next move. They’re tired, they need something to eat, time to take a break and calm down. The Mayor’s Daughter The party stops at a desolate village. The mayor or muktar has been alerted and has food ready for them. They eat and talk. The gregarious mayor is hoping for improvements to the cemetery. He wants a morgue. He’s embarrassed, apologetic when the power goes out. “The wind’s been wild this past week,” he says, sending word for tea to be brought. The room is in total darkness when the mayor’s 15-yearold daughter enters bearing a large tray, the glasses of tea rattling as she moves among them, her lovely solemn face lit by an oil lamp. The men are stunned and moved by her beauty, by the quiet grace of her movements, the killer touched and terrified, shaken, sobbing. Someone wonders how a muktar could produce “such an angel” and someone else says she will waste away in this village. All the while there’s the wind, the sound of objects being blown

about, doors creaking, dogs barking, and the radiant girl moving gently, tenuously around the dark room. On the Road As the snow plows leave us for other streets, I click on the little book light and return to the passage at the end of the tale I was reading before I went to sleep, Chekhov’s “On the Road,” which takes place in “the traveller’s room” at a roadside inn and was surely meant to be read on a night whose story is being written by snow. A man and a woman have bonded, she’s rich and young, he’s poor and middle-aged and has lost everything but his six-year-old daughter and his gift for spell-binding narrative as he dazzles the fascinated woman with the story of his life. Chekhov weaves a spell of his own, and it’s as if Ceylan’s windblown steppe and our snow haunted

runners has vanished, “but still his eyes kept seeking something in the clouds of snow.” Chekhov in Turkey I’ve been reading Chekhov ever since my wife and I watched Ceylan’s latest, even longer film Winter Sleep (2014) over the first two nights of the new year. Set in the fantastical landscape of Cappodochia, and haunted by the somber, probing slow movement of Schubert’s piano sonata No. 20 in A Major, the film is developed from two stories, “The Wife” and “Exceptional People.” Ceylan’s first film The Small Town (1998) is dedicated to Chekhov. In a 2009 BFI Southbank interview he says there’s “an element of Chekhov” in all his work because he wrote stories “about almost ev-

weather had found expression in the words of Constance Garnett’s translation, “Outside, God alone knows why, the winter was raging still. Whole clouds of big soft snowflakes were whirling restlessly over the earth, unable to find a resting-place. The horses, the sledge, the trees, a bull tied to a post, all were white and seemed soft and fluffy.” The man tucks the young gentlewoman into her sledge; after it goes round a huge snowdrift, she looks back as though she wants to say something to him. He runs up to her, but she doesn’t say a word, she only looks at him “through her long eyelashes with little specks of snow on them,” and it suddenly seems to him “that with another touch or two that girl would have forgiven him his failures, his age, his desolate position, and would have followed him without question or reasonings.” He stands a long while, gazing at the tracks left by the sledge runners. The snowflakes greedily settled on his hair, his beard, his shoulders,” the track of the

ery situation, and I love them very much. So maybe he’s influenced the way I look at life. Life follows Chekhov for me, in a way.” In a March 2012 conversation with The Independent, Ceylan calls Russian literature “maybe the biggest influence in my films.” Asked if he means more influential than film, he says, “Definitely. If I didn’t see reflections of Turkish people in Russian literature, I wouldn’t use it. But it’s valid for all humanity.” Awake in the night of the snowplows, I imagine Ceylan filming a scene in the “traveller’s room” in “On the Road.” Scenes in his films are so Chekhovian in so many ways, it’s as if Anton Pavlovich not only helped with the screenplay but oversaw the furnishing and the lighting, as, again, in the sequence when the mayor’s daughter moves about with her tray of tea, her oil lamp lighting images on the wall of the room, casting light (in the words of the story now) “on a row of cheap oleographs, which maintained a strict and

careful gradation in the transition from the sacred to the profane. In the dim light of the candle end and the red ikon lamp the pictures looked like one continuous stripe, covered with blurs of black.” Having read through several volumes of Chekhov so far this year, I was aware of the Russian master’s influence all through Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, from the amusing banality of the conversations on cheese and yogurt to the need for improvements to the village cemetery to the incorporation of the plot of “The Examining Magistrate” as a way of defining and intensifying the relationship between the doctor (clearly meant to be a stand-in for Chekhov) and the prosecutor. Still, it’s the poetry of the muktar’s daughter moving among the men (perhaps in homage to Claudia Cardinale bringing water to the workers at the end of Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West) that seems especially true to the spirit of Chekhov, whose girls and women are so often seen, admired, wondered over, performed for, and playfully revealed, as happens during that wintry night in “On the Road.” When the young gentlewoman enters the “traveller’s room” she’s so bundled up and covered with snow that she seems to have “no face and no arms.” She’s viewed at first by the six-year-old girl who sees “two little hands come out from the middle of the bundle, stretch upwards and begin angrily disentangling the network of shawls, kerchiefs, and scarves. First a big shawl fell on the ground, then a hood, then a white knitted kerchief. After freeing her head, the traveller took off her pelisse and at once shrank to half the size. Now she was in a long, grey coat with big buttons and bulging pockets.” Removing her great coat, “which made her shrink to half her size again, she took off her big felt boots,” and seen now through Chekhov’s eyes “she no longer resembled a bundle: she was a thin little brunette of twenty, as slim as a snake, with a long white face and curly hair …. Swathed in a closely fitting black dress with a mass of lace at her neck and sleeves, with sharp elbows and long pink fingers, she recalled the portraits of medieval English ladies.” Anniversaries o here we are in snowy Princeton on Januar y 27, 2016, Mozar t’s 260th birthday in the 400th year since Shakespeare’s death. Chekhov was born on the 17th of this month, Ceylan on the 26th, and Schubert on the 31st. You can find Once Upon a Time in Anatolia and Winter Sleep at the Princeton Public Library. I’m convinced that both films are masterpieces and that Nuri Bilge Ceylan is one of the greatest living directors. Every film he’s made has won a prize at Cannes, including the Palme d’Or for Winter Sleep. Typically, no work of his has ever been so much as nominated for an Academy Award. —Stuart Mitchner

Movie Recreates a Daring Coast Guard Rescue of Stranded Sailors

n February 18, 1952, one of the worst nor’easters in history hit New England. The seas off Cape Cod were so severe that two oil tankers, caught in the storm, split in two. While the SS Fort Mercer was able to issue an urgent S.O.S., the SS Pendleton’s fore section was swallowed too quickly by the ocean for the ship to broadcast a distress call. Their captain went down with the front part

The Finest Hours

WE’VE GOT TO FIND THAT SHIP IN TIME: The Coast Guard Bosun’s Mate Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) and his crew are doing their best to locate the remaining half of the oil tanker SS Pendelton in order to rescue the 34 sailors on it before they succumbed to the fury of the fierce nor’easter that had split their ship in two. (Photo by Claire Folger-©-Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved)

of the ship, leaving 34 sailors in the stern with no idea whether the world was even aware of their plight. Fortunately, a tow truck driver (Matthew Maher) spotted a light from the Pendleton as she was listing off the coast of Chatham, and knew that he had to report it to the authorities immediately. Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana), the officer in charge of the local Coast Guard station, didn’t hesitate to order a rescue attempt despite the blizzard’s frigid temperatures and gale force winds. He called upon Bosun’s Mate Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) who hastily assembled a crew composed of Seamen Richard Livesey (Ben Foster), Ervin Maske (John Magaro), and Engineman Andrew Fitzgerald (Kyle Gallner). The team left the harbor aboard a small motorized lifeboat that only seated a dozen people and offered scant protection against the elements. It would take a yeoman’s effort to reach the sinking Pendleton because the tiny Coast Guard lifeboat encountered waves as high as 70 feet when they reached the open seas. Moreover, Webber had lost his compass when they were swamped by one of the waves. Meanwhile, the remaining sailors on the Pendleton were doing their best to keep what was left of the ship afloat. With the skipper and his other officers lost in the front half of the tanker, a new leader emerged in Engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck), who had nerves of steel and a wealth of naval knowledge. The veteran sailor took command of the crew, and realized that survival depended upon keeping the electric pumps functioning long enough for them to ground the vessel on a sandbar. Back in Chatham the worried families of the brave Coast Guardsmen, including Bernie’s fiancee Miriam (Holliday Grainger), were waiting to hear news about their loved ones. Directed by Craig Gillespie (Million Dollar Arm), The Finest Hours is a gripping seafaring adventure reminiscent of The Perfect Storm (2000). It is based on a bestseller that recounts the real-life exploits of unsung heroes who rose to the occasion in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. A visually-captivating and moving depiction of what, to this day, remains the most daring Coast Guard rescue on record. E xcellent (HHHH) . Rated PG -13 for intense peril. Running time : 117 minutes.

Returning From Exam Break by Routing Bryn Athyn, Tiger Men’s Basketball Primed for Ivy Tests Ahead

teven Cook didn’t show one bit of rust as the Princeton University men’s basketball team hosted Bryn Athyn last Sunday as it returned to action after a 15-day exam hiatus. Princeton junior forward Cook went on a personal 7-0 run to start the game against the Division III foe, scoring on a dunk, a three-pointer, and a layup in the first two minutes of action. “I was excited to get back out there, finals was a long period,” said the 6’5, 197-pound Cook, a native of Winnetka, Ill. “I was anxious to get going, instead of watching the other teams play. We are anxious to get the Ivy League season going. I just wanted to get it started right.” Building on the strong start, Princeton rolled to a 100-44 win over the Lions before 1,072 at Jadwin Gym as the Tigers improved to 11-4 overall. “This game was more about us than the opponent we were playing; this game is getting us ready to play Brown and Yale next weekend,” said Cook, who ended up scoring 14 points with three assists and three rebounds. “We are playing this team like we are facing off against the Ivy League teams we are about to match up with so it wasn’t really about who we were playing, it was more about us.” Having started the Ivy campaign by pulling out a 73-71 win at Penn on January 9 in the league opener for both teams, Cook believes that resilience is a big part of what Princeton is. “That was a game maybe we weren’t supposed to win based on how it was going,” said Cook. “We stayed tough; that win definitely meant a lot going into the Ivy season.” With the Ivy grind beginning in earnest this weekend as Princeton plays at Brown (5-11 overall, 0-2 Ivy) on January 29 and

at Yale (11-5 overall, 2-0 Ivy) on January 30, Cook knows that toughness at both ends of the court will be key. “Going into the season, our focus really was defense and we are moving our feet and our hands where they need to be,” said Cook, who is averaging 9.3 points and 4.8 rebounds a game this season. “We are playing so we are good to go on the defensive end in the Ivy season. We have a lot of scorers. We have guys who can step up and make shots.” Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson is pleased with the way Cook has been stepping up. “Steve is a very good player for us,” said Henderson. “What I like about what Steve is doing is that he is very vocal. We can be a little bit on the quiet side and that is something Steve can change for us.” In Henderson’s view, Princeton took care of business with aplomb against Bryn Athyn. “We have this huge snowstorm so this was really for us to put the uniforms on, that was the most important thing,” said Henderson, who got 14 points from junior Spencer Weisz in the rout with junior Henry Caruso adding 13. “I like their approach. We finished up exams on Saturday morning and here we are.” The Tigers used the game to fine-tune some things. “It was just the details defensively,” said Henderson. “I wanted to play Noah Bramlage and Alec Brennan together, Alec and Pete Miller together, Noah and Pete together. Then I wanted to play Mike LeBlanc, Aaron Young, and Jackson Forbes with the starters.” In addition, Princeton used all 15 players with senior guard and co-captain Mike Washington, Jr. making the most of his time off the bench, scoring four points with two assists in 13 minutes of action.

“Mike is our lone senior and I thought he was all about making his teammates better,” said Henderson, who got points from 14 players in the win. “Everything he was doing, he was totally invested in his teammates and the program. He made some great plays, but that is what I liked.” Henderson knows the Tigers will have to make some great plays to come up with wins at Brown and Yale. “We are right where we are supposed to be; we have a really tough weekend coming up,” said Henderson. “I think Brown is very good. Tavon Blackmon is difficult to guard, you have to keep your body in front of him. The kid J.R. Hobbie and the kid Steven Spieth can make shots. Cedric Kuakumensah inside is a defensive presence and an offensive presence. I think Yale is playing as good basketball as anybody in the league I have seen in a long time. They are very sharp, they play four seniors. They defend and they are solid in many ways.” In Cook’s view, Princeton is looking sharp itself as it girds for the Ivy battles ahead. “We are seeing a lot of TUNING UP: Princeton University men’s basketball player good things, we have got to Steven Cook gets around a defender in recent action.

The Tigers, now 11-4 overall and 1-0 Ivy League, head into the thick of their league schedule as they play at Cook. “We need to be making Brown (5-11 overall, 0-2 Ivy) on January 29 and at Yale (11-5 (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) sure that we are keeping our overall, 2-0 Ivy) on January 30. in a good place.” bodies up and all that sort of stuff.

Johnson, who is taking this academic year off to train with the U.S. national team for the 2016 Olympics, set NCAA tournament records for saves in a game and tournament while helping Princeton to a sixthplace finish last spring. She then went on to have a huge summer in international water polo, including helping the U.S. to gold medals at the Pan Am Games and World Championships. ———

Tiger Soccer Star Lussi Trains with U.S. U-23 Team

Princeton University women’s soccer star junior Tyler Lussi earned an invitation to the U.S. U-23 Women’s National Team’s training camp in Carson, Calif., which took place earlier this month. Lussi is the second Tiger this month to earn a U.S. WNT camp invitation, joining freshman Mimi Asom, who just wrapped up a weeklong camp with the U-20 team on Jan. 10. The U-23 team is the last of the agegroup national teams, which begin at the U-15 level. Lussi will enter her senior season next fall poised to become the program record holder in goals and points. Her 43 career goals are just four behind record holder Esmeralda Negron ‘05 and her 98 career points are 14 back of Negron. While Lussi is the only Ivy Leaguer among the 26 players at the camp, she’s one of 21 who were collegians this past season. Four of those players were on opposing sides to the Tigers this past season, including Erica Skroski from in-state rival Rutgers, McKenzie Meehan from NCAA first-round opponent Boston College and Mandy Freeman and Kayla Mills from NCAA secondround opponent USC. ———

Princeton Athletics 24th in Directors’ Cup

The Princeton University athletics program is currently ranked 24th in the Leerfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings, which ranks Division I athletic programs based on their success in post-season competition. The Tigers earned points this fall in women’s cross country, men’s cross country, field hockey, men’s water polo, and women’s soccer. The next-best school from an FCS league is Furman at 40th, and Princeton is the only Ivy League school in the top 80. Princeton has been the highest scoring Ivy League team in 19 of the 22 years the Directors’ Cup has been awarded. The Tigers also have finished in the top 50 19 times. Princeton finished in 41st place a year ago, again as the highest non-Power Five Conference team in Division I. Princeton was in 77th place at the end of the fall in 2014-15. ———

PU Men’s Lax Star Ambler Chosen 39th in MLL Draft

Princeton University men’s lacrosse star attackman Ryan Ambler will begin his senior year as a Major League Lacrosse (MLL) draftee after being chosen by the New York Lizards in the fifth round of the league’s draft last week. Ambler, the 39th player selected, became the eighth Princeton player in the last five years to be selected in the MLL draft. The 6’1, 190-pound native of Rydal, Pa. has been a starter since Day 1 of his career and brings 57 goals and 65 assists into his senior year. A two-time All-Ivy League selection, Ambler tallied at least four points in eight of Princeton’s 15 games last year. The team’s leading returning scorer this year, he was second on the team in assists (29), third on the team in points (51) and fourth in goals (22) in 2015. A graduate of Abington High S chool out side of Philadelphia, Ambler had a career-high eight points last year against Penn. He’s twice had five goals in a game, against Rutgers in 2014 and Penn a year ago, and he combined with Kip Orban and Mike MacDonald — both of whom were MLL draft choices last year — to score 15 goals against the Quakers. Princeton begins its season by hosting NJIT on February 20.

PU Men’s Volleyball Coach To Head U.S. Youth Team

Princeton University men’s volleyball head coach Sam Shweisky, a former EIVA Head Coach of the Year who has had significant experience with USA Volleyball, will serve as the head coach of the USA Boys’ Youth National Team this coming summer. Shweisky, who g u ided Princeton to both the 2010 and 2014 EIVA championship finals, served the past two seasons as an assistant coach for the USA Men’s Junior National Team. This year, he will be coaching the best youth players to both develop the national team and to compete in the NORCECA Continental Championship. Ser ving in his seventh season as the head coach of the Princeton men’s volleyball team, Shweisky has guided the team to at least the EIVA semifinal in each of the last four years, the best streak for the program this century. Between 1999 and 2012, the Tigers had won only three matches against teams ranked in the AVCA Top 15; over the last three seasons, Princeton has beaten five such teams, including its first win over Penn State since 1998. A s s o ciate h e ad co ach Brad Keller, the assistant men’s volleyball coach at UCLA, and Theo Edwards, the assistant men’s coach at Cal State Nor thridge, will be joining Shweisky on the U.S. staff. Kevin Burch, an assistant coach at Ohio State, will serve as technical coordinator for the Boys’ Youth Team.

HEADING TO THE PROS: Princeton University men’s soccer player Thomas Sanner goes up for a header last fall during his senior season. Earlier this month, forward Sanner was chosen by Vancouver as the 36th overall pick in the Major League Soccer (MLS) SuperDraft. He is the sixth Tiger in the last five years to be drafted, and 10th all time. A first-team all-region selection, Sanner was the unanimous selection for Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year this season. The 2012 Ivy League Rookie of Year earned three All-Ivy League honors, including two on the first team. In 2015, Sanner led the Ivy League in both points, with 31, and goals with 13. Sanner, a native of Indianapolis, Ind., ended his Princeton career with 32 goals, 13 of which were game-winning goals, and 15 assists for 79 points in 64 games. He ranks third in scoring all-time at Princeton. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Going into the game, we knew Nottingham was going to be on our level so we did come out fiery in that game.”

PHS was sparked by some fiery play from junior forward Zoe Tesone in the win over Nottingham. “A lot of that credit goes to Zoe Tesone, she has really stepped up in that respect,” said Van Hise of Tesone, who scored 13 points, with senior Julia Ryan tallying 15 to lead the way. “She had eight points in the first quarter in that game and that really set the tone for us. It was really nice for her to have that game because she was struggling early in the year and we want her to be that second scorer behind Julia Ryan. She was pressing a little but she came out with an ‘I don’t care, this is happening attitude,’ and it filtered through everybody.” The Little Tigers also got a nice game from sophomore guard Devon Lis against the Northstars as she chipped in 11 points. “Devon is athletic, she plays really good defense,” added Van Hise. “She is probably going to get us the most easy baskets we will get because she is long and gets her hands out and gets in transition pretty easily.” In the last week, PHS hit a tough stretch in its schedule, falling to Notre Dame 7125 on January 15, 53-19 to Hopewell Valley on January 19, and 69-43 to Allentown last Thursday. In Van Hise’s view, his s q u ad s howe d pro g re s s by their effort against Allentow n as nine players scored. “Allentown was easily my favorite game of the year, t here was a conf idence g row i ng,” as s er te d Va n Hise, who got nine points from Ryan and eight from sophomore forward Taylor Stone against the Redbirds as the team moved to 3-9.

“One girl would hit a shot and that would get somebody else to calm down a little bit and she would hit a shot. There was a different mentality that we had out there, especially against such a good team. We came out with a positive attitude, we hit some early shots. Taylor Stone contributed, Adria Backus hit a couple of jumpers, and Crystal Wang hit a couple of shots.

Hise, whose 2014-15 squad featured five seniors. “I think Zoe and Crystal have both stepped up in that regard. They are not necessarily the most vocal leaders but they work really, really hard in practice, the two of them, and Adria as well, so that has been helpful for sure.” As PHS heads into the homestretch of the season, it needs to add some toughness to its work ethic. “The biggest thing is really just this willingness to fight back,” said Van Hise, whose team plays at Trenton on January 28 and at WW/P-N on January 29 before hosting Trenton on February 2. “Other teams are going to put runs against us every game and we need to have the stick together mentality. —Bill Alden

The fate of the Hun School boys’ basketball team was in the hands of Austin Harriott as it trailed visiting Lawrenceville by three points in the waning seconds of overtime last week. Dribbling the ball outside the three-point line, senior forward Harriott eluded a Big Red defender and launched a shot that swished through the hoop as he landed on his rear end, setting off a roar from the Hun fans. “I saw the clock going down, I had to put it up,” said Harriott, reflecting on his buzzer beater. “The defender flew out at me and I gave him a pump fake and it just happened to go in. I kind of felt like it was going in.” In the second overtime, Hun kept it going, holding off Lawrenceville for a dramatic 68-66 win as it snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to 7-7. “ We m a d e s o m e f r e e throws and got up to an early lead,” said Harriott. “In the first overtime, we lost the tip and they got the ball. They had the momentum so we just came out, got the tip, calmed down, and got some easy buckets.” There was nothing easy about Hun’s win over Lawrenceville as the Raiders were down 21-18 at halftime, fell behind 46 -37 midway through the fourth

quarter, and trailed 55-51 with 15 seconds left in the first overtime. “T he whole game t he coaches said just keep playing, it is not over so we just kept going,” said Harriott. “They hit a big shot and then we hit a big shot; it was just going back and forth. It was just that type of game today.” In Harriott’s view, the win was a big testament to the team’s character. “Overall it shows that we are tough, that we don’t give up,” asserted Harriott. “We are going to play until the whistle blows and see what happens when we do. The harder and tougher we play, the better we play.” Harriott, who has committed to attend Loyola University Maryland and play for its mens’ hoops program, looks to go hard all the time. “I just try to keep everybody together,” said Harriott, who ended up with 14 points and 11 rebounds in the win over the Big Red. “I play as hard as I can, rebound when I need to rebound, and do whatever my coach needs me to do. If he needs me to score, I will try to score. If he needs me to defend, I am going to try to defend.” Hun head coach Jon Stone acknowledged that his team needed to play a lot better after a subpar first half.

MR. BIG SHOT: Hun School boys’ basketball player Austin Harriott puts up a shot over a Lawrenceville player last week. Senior forward Harriott hit a three-pointer at the end of first overtime in the January 19 contest to help spark Hun to a thrilling 68-66 win over the Big Red in double overtime. The Raiders, who improved to 7-7 with the triumph, play at Peddie on January 27 and at the Solebury School (Pa.) on January 30 before facing St. Anthony High on January 31 at the Pine Belt Arena in Toms River for the Mater Dei/Valerie Fund Basketball Challenge Showcase.

“We did so many things poorly, it was just not a good half for us,” said Stone. “We couldn’t throw the ball into the ocean, that is for sure.” With Hun down by nine late in regulation, Stone wasn’t sure that his team had a rally in it. “They were making great plays and great shots and we weren’t,” said Stone. But the Raiders started making things happen down the stretch as they produced their improbable comeback. “I think just some players were making some plays and believing in each other,” said Stone. “It was just staying the course. We just kept competing, we could have folded but we kept coming back. They are a really good team.” Stone liked the way Harriott competed. “He had some unbelievable rebounds when we had to have them,” said Stone. “He shot the ball well tonight. He is a multifaceted player and he did show it tonight. He showed the ability to do a little bit of everything and that is what makes him special.” The team’s backcourt of postgraduate Jose Morales and battle-tested senior Niall Carpenter did some special things as Princeton-bound Morales scored 17 points while Carpenter tallied a game-high 22. “Jose made some free throws and hit some shots,” said Stone. “Niall just competes so hard. His motor is so good, he makes plays. He is no stranger to making plays. He made them last year at times in big games and he has done it already this year so he is a great competitor.” Hun’s rally showed that it possesses the resolve to fight to the end. “It says a lot about our ability to compete but we still have a lot to work on,” said Stone. “It was a terrific game, both teams played great and it was just a lot of fun.” Stone is hoping that his squad can work out some fine points with postseason play around the corner. “We haven’t had a chance to be together a lot with all of the injuries we have had so we are still ironing out some details of chemistry, plays, and scheme,” said Stone, whose team plays at Peddie on January 27 and at the Solebury School (Pa.) on January 30 before facing St. Anthony High on January 31 at the Pine Belt Arena in Toms River. “We are not where we normally are at this time of the year because we had a hard time getting guys healthy at practice. We have some time here and we have some great pieces.” Harriott, for his part, believes the triumph over Lawrenceville should be a great morale booster for the Raiders going forward. “This win should keep us going for the rest of the season,” said Harriott. “I think we can compete with any team that we play. If we play as hard as we can, we can definitely win games.” —Bill Alden

Exuding Confidence at Both Ends of the Ice, Vitucci Emerging as Force for Hun Boys’ Hockey Frank Vitucci was primed to make a bigger impact this winter in his sophomore season with the Hun School boys’ hockey team. “I am more confident with the puck,” said Vitucci. “Last year I was a little more timid, I grew as a player over the summer.” Last Wednesday, Vitucci showed his grow th as a player, tallying a goal and an assist to help Hun defeat Gloucester Catholic 5-2 as the Raiders improved to 11-5-2, posting their fifth straight win and 10th in the last 11 games. “It was a good one for us, Diesel (senior goalie Diesel Pelke) played well on the back end and we had some good efforts from the forwards, getting pucks in and out,” said Vitucci. “We played great on the defensive zone. We d id what we had to do and we capitalized on a couple of power plays, which is always nice.” Vit ucci helped t r igger Hun’s first power play goal as he set up a Jon Bendorf tally with 6:03 left in the first period. “Tanner (Preston) made a great face-off and slid it over to me,” said Vitucci. “I just saw Jon wide open back door and he was able to finish it.”

Late in the third period, Vitucci scored a goal to make it 3-1 Hun as he swooped up the ice and fired a top-shelf blast past the Gloucester goalie. “I was able luckily to jump up into the play, I picked it off,” said Vitucci. “Just in Gros sman was standing right in front, it was a good screen. I just found a way to get it through.” Playing with junior stars Bendorf and Blake Brown has helped Vitucci’s play. “It always helps, they are great players,” said Vitucci, who has been taking shifts at defenseman with Bendorf in addition to playing on a forward line with the the junior standouts. “They find me when I am open and I find them. It is great playing with them, they open up the ice. We do what we have to do in the defensive zone and we capitalize when we have to.” Reflecting on Hun’s great run of recent form, Vitucci believes the team is clicking on all cylinders. “We are playing together and coming together as a team, which is always great,” said Vitucci. “We are moving the puck and we are finishing when we have to and Diesel is playing big in net. Winning

that many games in a row always feels good; it boosts our confidence a little more.” Hun head coach Ian McNally is pleased with how things are coming together for his squad. “We just feel like we are going to win all the time; once you get to that place mentally, things star t to work out no matter what,” said McNally, who got two goals from Bendorf and one apiece from Brown, Vitucci, and Griffin Moroney in the win over Gloucester Catholic. “T h is was n’t t he b e s t game, we are on a trend right now where we score a fair amount of goals and it is always different guys scoring. Tonight four guys scored the five goals and the other night (a 6-1 win over Bishop Eustace on January 18) six scored six.” Against Gloucester, the Raiders went into overdrive after the Rams knotted the game at 1-1, scoring two unanswered goals in the last 2:46 of the second period to regain control of the contest. “We are up 1-0 and it was pretty stale I thought; all of a sudden the shots went the other way from it being tilted in our direction,” said McNally.

“Their goal woke us up a little bit which you hope isn’t the need. They were comfortable and then all of a sudden it is 1-1 and they had to dig in and it went to 3-1.” Vitucci has been digging in at both ends of the ice for Hun. “Frank has been absolutely awesome; we are asking him to do something he doesn’t know how to do, playing defense for basically half the game,” said McNally. “The first time we put him back he said ‘coach I don’t know what I am doing’ and we said ‘don’t worry about it, do what you think is right.’ He is able to pick off passes and jump up into the play, that is what we are trying to do if we have those guys back. When we do have a chance, let them take it.” Cashing in on his chances has helped Vitucci become more assertive this winter. “He grew and he has more confidence” added McNally of the 6’0, 170-pound Vitucci. “The way he holds himself at the rink during games, he acts like he has been here four years and it is his show. He does it in a very positive way.” McNally is hoping that his team can maintain the positive mindset it has developed in its recent surge. “We go into inter m is sion at 2-2 and we think we are going to win,” said McNally.

“We have that mentality that it is eventually going to happen and that is dangerous. Losing is contagious too. Right now winning is contagious for us. It is addictive, once you get a little bit you want more and more. There have been a couple of teams we have played in the past five games that could have feasibly won the game. If you’re not used to winning maybe you can’t pull that out but right now we are used to winning.” With Hun slated to play at St. Joseph’s (Metuchen) on January 27 before starting play in the state Prep tournament where the thirdseeded Raiders will play at No. 2 Princeton Day School in the semifinals on February 2, McNally knows it is crunch time for his squad.

“That is what you have your eye on, even when you play these games you are talking about those tournaments at the end of the year,” said McNally. “The win on Wednesday night isn’t the most important thing. You take this, even when you are up 5-1, you are playing in a way where you are getting ready for the prep, for the county, for the Hill tournaments.” Vitucci, for his part, believes the Raiders can come through in a big way in postseason. “We have to keep our heads right, keep winning games, and get some more confidence going in,” said Vitucci. “It is coming up and we will be ready.” —Bill Alden

Jackson Rho was looking for a new winter activity five years ago and his mom came up with an idea. “At the time I was playing tennis and a little bit of baseball in the winter,” said Rho, 14, an eighth grader at John Witherspoon Middle School. “My mom heard about Princeton Junior Squash (PJS) from a friend so I tried a trial class. I ended up loving it right from the start.” It didn’t take long for Rho to relish the challenges presented by squash. “It was really fun to play,” said Rho. “When I first looked at it, it didn’t seem that complicated. I thought it would be a slow paced game but when I started getting into it I realized it is a lot more than that.” Rho, a standout pitcher/ infielder over the years in the Princeton Little League program, has applied some of his skills from the diamond to the squash court. “I t h in k t he hand - eye coordination carries from baseball over to squash,” noted Rho. The format of the PJS sessions, which take place at the Jadwin Gym courts, has helped Rho develop his game. “They do a variety of stuff; you do drills with other people and at the end, they play games and points,” said Rho, who typically takes part in two PJS sessions a week and also works with a private coach. “The coaches at PJS give you pointers on what you did well and what you can improve on.” Due to Rho’s growing affection for the game and rapid improvement, he soon starting playing competitively. “I waited around a year and then I started competing in national tournaments,” said Rho, who is currently r a n ke d 26t h n at i o n a l l y among U-15 boys. “There is a lot of travel-

ing. I do tournaments on the east coast in places like New York and Connecticut.” While Rho feels some butterflies before matches, he lets his training take over in the heat of battle. “Before the match I am a little bit nervous,” said Rho. “When I am in the match, I seem to forget all that is in my head and just play.” Princeton Universit y women’s squash head coach Gail Ramsay, the executive director of PJS, sees Rho’s experience as emblematic of what the program can do for someone taking up the game. “It is all for the growth of the game, I think the basic philosophy of the program is exposing the game to kids and giving them opportunities,” said Ramsay. “It evolved a bit more into the higher, more performance end of it. Kids who do well want to play some tournaments and we encourage them to play tournaments. We can give them access to more individual lessons and training. Jackson is a good athlete, he started four or five years ago. There are a couple of people like Jackson in the program. Will Hagen has ended up in the top 8 in the nation at U-18 and was recruited at one of the top four teams in the country this year over at Penn.” Ramsay, who has been guiding the Tiger women’s program since 1994 and has led it to five national titles, has gained coaching insight through her involvement in the program. “I like the diversity of having different skill levels, ever ybody learns a little differently, which is what is so hard about teaching and coaching,” said Ramsay, who assumed a hands-on role in PJS 12 years ago. “It always gives me insight on my own teaching.” The PJS program boasts a number of accomplished coaches in addition to Ramsay. “It is a really nice pro-

gram, we have a lot of great caring coaches,” said Ramsay of PJS, that was founded in 1988 by former nationally ranked squash players Nina Moyer and Dede Webster and had five players at the outset. “We have six to eight core coaches. My brother Bill is the administrative director, he orchestrates where the sessions happen. He does the day-to-day logistics of it. He is a very good coach and has a really nice way with the kids so it has stepped up the program the last few years.” There are approximately 130 players enrolled in PJS, which offers three sessions, fall ( September-October), w inter ( October-March ) , and spring (March-May) and meets three times a week. “Some kids come all three s e as on s ; t h e k id s have school teams so those kids come in the preseason in the fall and come back in the spring,” said Ramsay “We offer Princeton University Squash camps in the summer so there is something year round.” Having the Jadwin squash complex as its home helps the PJS attract players. “It is 10 courts, it is easy to find, and it is well known,” said Ramsay of the venue which was the site for the 1998 World Junior Squash Championships and many other major squash tournaments. “It is a privilege having Princeton let us bring the kids in three times a week. We have our junior staffers who play at Princeton. The students at Princeton have a lot on their plates but we have a few kids who are pretty steady and a few kids who are in and out but they enjoy coming.” Rho, for his part, has been inspired by being around the Princeton players. “It is also fun to go to the college matches, they are at Jadwin so you can watch them,” said Rho. “I think I am going to try and play squash in college.” —Bill Alden

Mirroring Progress of PDS Girls’ Hoops Team, Senior Healey Develops Into Solid Performer Helen Healey has come a long way since she joined the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team as a freshman in the 2012-13 season. “I came into high school never playing basketball before; I have learned a lot, like ball handling and shooting,” said senior forward Healey. “Rebounding is a hard part, you get pushed around a lot. I have seen people push me and now I am pushing back a little bit. I am playing tough.” Healey’s progress mirrors the PDS program’s collective push to get better since she joined the team. “We have seen this team grow the last three years,” said Healey. “It is amazing. At practice, it brings tears to my eyes. We have gotten so much better over these last three years. Our coach (Kamau Bailey) has helped us so much.” While PDS didn’t have one of its better days of the season as it fell 56-17 to WW/ P-N last Thursday, Healey liked the way the Panthers kept fighting to the final whistle. “We worked hard as a team and brought it together at the end of the game, I was really proud of our team for doing that,” said Healey, who scored all four of her points on the evening in the fourth quarter. “I think we are learning how to play great teams like WW/P-N; we are getting better and stronger.” With the Panthers at 6-9, having already exceeded last year’s win total when they went 5-13, Healey believes the players have developed some strong bonds. “I think the big thing is team chemistry, honestly,” said Healey. “We have two new girls, so to have seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen this year makes a huge difference. We eat lunch together at school, we talk to each other in the hallways. We definitely have worked on that. We have had team psyches. We have had team breakfasts. We had a team early dinner a couple of hours before this game. I think it has been a really fun season.” Healey believes the Panthers can utilize that chemistry to help each other during games. “I would love for us to be

able to communicate a lot more on the floor, I think sometimes in critical moments we get a little too silent on the court and on the bench because we are nervous and we don’t want to mess up,” said Healey. “I think we have gotten much better on talking on offense and defense from the first game of the season. We are talking to each other more, slapping each other’s hands and knowing that we have each other’s backs if we make a mistake.” In Healey’s view, doing well in the Hill School (Pa.) tournament in early December helped set a positive tone for the Panthers. “I think what really started us off this season was the Hill tournament,” said Healey. “We got second place out of four teams, winning a

game in a tournament. We had never done that before since I have been here.” With the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B tourney around the corner, Healey is hoping the Panthers can do some big things in postseason play. “I couldn’t be more proud for how we have grown as a team and what we have done already,” said Healey. “We still have a month left in the season, we have some more to do and some more damage to make. I am hoping we make it through parts of the tournaments, that would be an awesome way to finish my PDS career.” Having grown so much during her PDS career, Healey plans to keep tabs on the Panthers after graduation. “I am proud to be on the starting team at PDS,” said Healey. “It is going to be hard to leave. I am excited to come back and watch my team grow.” —Bill Alden

After graduating from the Anglican High School in Grenada, Gladys moved to Warminster, England to attend the St. Monica’s Girls missionary training school run by Community of St. Denys.

During World War II, Gladys assisted with the evacuation of children from London to the countryside during the Blitz, taught school, and played the organ for the local church. After the war, she returned to Grenada to become assistant superintendent of schools. She met Arthur Lewis in London after attending a talk he had given. They corresponded and were married in St. George’s, Grenada in May 1947.

Lucy Freeman

Lucy Rubino Freeman, a 60-year resident of Princeton, passed away Thursday afternoon on January 14, 2016 in Tujunga, California at the home of her grandson Seth and his family who had cared for her for the past three years. Lucy was born in 1912 in New York City, one of four sisters born to Giacenta and Giovanni Rubino. Her parents had immigrated as teenagers shortly before the turn of the last century from San Fele, Italy. She lived the first quarter of her life in Greenwich Village. She was a graduate of Washington Irving High School and New York University. She met and married her husband of 50 years, Paul M. Freeman, in the mid1930s. He was at that time a jazz guitar player. He later earned a doctorate in educational psychology from Columbia University and got a job at Educational Testing Service, which at that point was located at 20 Nassau Street. She and her husband and son moved to Princeton just before 1950. Her husband had developed MS, and knowing he would be unable to continue work, Lucy went back to school and got a masters degree and taught for 20 years (mostly first graders) while managing her husband’s care. She and her family were amongst the earliest members of the Unitarian Church, which was then located in the Van Dyke Mansion on Bayard Lane. In retirement and after the death of her husband in 1985, she continued her involvement in the League of Women Voters, the Unitarian Church, and literacy training. She travelled with her son to Italy when she was 80 years old — her first overseas trip.

She made three other trips to Europe in her eighties to visit dear friends Inge and Seenu Srinavassen. She was one of the original residents of The Windrows where she lived for almost 10 years until she moved to Saint Andrews Village nursing home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine close to her son’s house. In 2013, she moved into the home she shared with her grandson, Seth, his wife, Patricia, and their four children. She is survived by them and her son Paul of Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The family is planning a memorial service sometime this summer in Maine. Anyone wishing to contact the family may do so via Paul Freeman, P.O. Box 321 Boothbay Harbor, Maine 04538 or by email paulgiovanni@yahoo.com.

The burial will take place on Friday, January 29, 2016, 12:45 p.m., at the South Florida National Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at The First United Methodist Church of Boynton Beach on January 30, 2016 at 2 p.m. with Pastor Clark Edwards officiating. Scobee-Combs-Bowden Funeral Home of Boynton is handling the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Princeton United Methodist Church, 7 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton, NJ, 08542 or Florida Southern College, 111 Lake Hollingsworth Dr., Lakeland, Florida, 33801. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the TrustBridge Health Hospice of Palm Beach County for creating a peaceful environment and all of their support throughout this journey.

STOCKTON REAL ESTATE… A Princeton Tradition ONE SIMPLE TRICK CAN HELP YOU AVOID A DISASTER IN YOUR HOME

Experience ✦ Honesty ✦ Integrity 32 Chambers Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (800) 763-1416 ✦ (609) 924-1416

According to FEMA, about 3,000 clothes dryer fires occur each year in U.S. homes, causing about $35 million in damages in addition to dozens of injuries and deaths. What's really tragic: nearly all of these fires could have been avoided simply y having the dryer vent cleaned of lint and debris. When it comes to maintaining a clothes dryer, most people know they need to clean the lint trap on the machine itself. But there's a second spot that needs regular cleaning and attention the vent that leads from the machine to the outside, transporting the hot air out of your home. This vent can also become a harbor for lint and debris, and over time, that built-up lint and debris can begin to block the normal flow of hot air, causing overheating that leads to fires. The lint itself may also overheat inside the vent, doubling the fire risks associated with unmaintained vents. Cleaning a dryer vent isn't difficult - you can learn how by watching a video on YouTube, or better still, hire someone with the tools and experience to make sure it's done right. Dryer vent cleaning is inexpensive, fast, and a great way to help ensure you and your loved ones stay safe.

Usually, snow is a good friend to the gardener. It insulates the earth, blanketing the crowns of vulnerable perennials and preventing them from heaving out of the ground. But snow can also be a destructive force, twisting and breaking brittle shrubs such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Boxwoods and Andromeda. Like many other problems, its destructive side is best dealt with by foresight. Here is a short list of precautions: Snow Drop: Damage will occur to foundation shrubs if snow builds up on the roof and then falls on the plants with all its weight. Where possible, foundation plantings should always be located just beyond the snow’s landing zone. Alternatively, snow brakes installed on the roof will help keep large masses of snow from cascading onto plants below. Snow Drag: Snow that piles up around woody plants may solidify into ice, dragging branches down and breaking them off at the base. Vulnerable shrubs should be tied up with organic twine, and a loose cat’s cradle woven between their branches for internal support. Wet and Late Snows: The worst snow, perhaps, is a wet snow, as it sticks to branches, quickly building up into dangerously heavy loads. The only thing more destructive is a wet, late snow, which also sticks to the surfaces of newly emerged leaves. When this occurs, you must take a broom, a bamboo pole or just your hands, and dislodge as much snow as possible. Gently, of course, and not in a rage, for the idea is to shake away the snow, and not to punish the poor shrub.
