Unpaid Parking Tickets Lead to Controversy

A Princeton University professor stopped by local police for speeding last Saturday and arrested due to an active warrant for three-year-old unpaid parking tickets took to social media this week to say she was treated “inappropriately and disproportionately. The fact of my blackness is not incidental to this matter,” she posted on Facebook. Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter said Monday that he has opened an investigation into the incident involving Imani Perry, the University’s Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies, and has asked the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office to assist. The incident has attracted national attention. According to Mr. Sutter, Ms. Perry was driving at 67 miles per hour on Mercer Street, a 45-mile-per-hour zone, when she was pulled over by officers. When it was determined that she had unpaid parking tickets, the officers followed procedure “per policy and state law,” he said, handcuffed her and took her into custody. On Twitter, Ms. Perry wrote that the officers would not allow her to make a phone call until after her arrest, and said she was given a body search and then handcuffed to a table at police

headquarters before being released. “The response I have received since sharing my story has been overwhelmingly caring and thoughtful,” she wrote Monday on Facebook. “Many people are vigilant and impassioned these days regarding policing. This is a direct result of the social movement that has emerged over the last several years. That is good.” Ms. Perry continued, “And it personally feels wonderful to be so supported. However, there are quite a few people

who seem upset that I received support. Mostly they are suggesting that I am playing ‘innocent’ when I am ‘guilty.’ What they fail to understand is that I did not purport to be without fault. Now, make no mistake, I do not believe I did anything wrong. But even if I did, my position holds.” She goes on to say she was treated unfairly. “… We already know it IS the standard protocol for people in poor Black, Indigenous, and Latino communities to experience disproportionate police surveillance,

Princeton Council voted 4-2 Monday to adopt a bond ordinance that paves the way for the purchase of 20.4 acres of open land, located on the Princeton Ridge between Route 206 and Mt. Lucas Road. The heavily wooded property, to be maintained as open space, was acquired for $4.4 million, a deal that included $2.2 million in funding from the Mercer County Continued on Page 4 Open Space Fund, $153,000 from the Williams Transco pipeline project, $100,000 from Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS), and $1.7 million from the New Jersey Green Acres Program. “I really think this is something that is Immigration Customs Enforcement (LALDEF) have been in touch with the just what we have an open space tax for,” (ICE) officials detained two men outside other residents on Wiggins Street to offer said Wendy Mager, who heads FOPOS a Wiggins Street home last Thursday assistance and support as needed. and was one of several people who spoke at about 5 a.m. Further details are not “Several people were detained,” stated during the public hearing.

department are taking a defensive stance on this. Quite the opposite. There will be discussion. The stance I’m taking is that we’re going to get better at listening to these perceptions.” University President Christopher Eisgruber voiced his concerns Tuesday in a letter to the editor of The Daily Princetonian newspaper. “Many on our campus and around the country have expressed understandable concern about the arrest this past weekend of Professor Imani Perry, who is a respected scholar and beloved teacher at this University,” he wrote. “They have been shocked that such an arrest could result from unpaid parking tickets. They have also been distressed about specific aspects of the arrest, including the fact that a pat-down was performed by a male officer and that Professor Perry was handcuffed to a desk after her arrest. “I share these concerns,” Mr. Eisgruber continued. “My colleagues and I in the University administration were in touch with Professor Perry as soon as we learned of the incident and we contacted town officials about our concerns over the weekend. The town officials responded rapidly and initiated an investigation that they have assured us will be thorough and fair. We welcome an investigation not only of the treatment of Professor Perry, but of the underlying policies, practices, and protocols that were applied.” Mr. Sutter did not identify Ms. Perry by name at the Council meeting. But at Mayor Liz Lempert’s regular pre-Council-meeting press conference earlier in the day, he did identify her. He said there is a dash-camera video of the incident, but he wants to discuss it with her to make sure she is in agreement w ith it being made public. “It is a very, very sensitive and charged issue,” he said. “I want to make sure the community has our trust.” The pat ting dow n and handcuffing is “standard procedure,” Mr. Sutter said, and a state law. Ms. Perry took issue with the fact that though there was a male and female officer present, she was patted down by the male officer.

Regarding the arrest for u npa id park i ng t icke t s, Ms. Lempert said, “I was shocked that unpaid parking tickets would lead to an arrest.” At the Council m eet i ng, C ou nci lwoma n Jenny Crumiller commented, “Maybe we as a Council can change the state law so people don’t get arrested for parking tickets.” Mr. Sutter responded, “That’s part of the conversation.” Police have charged Ms. Perr y with speeding and driving on suspended privileges. She is scheduled to appear February 23 in Princeton Municipal Court. Efforts to reach her were unsuccessful at press time. —Anne Levin

NOT JUST ROSES: Presenting a loved one with this lavish arrangement from Viburnum on Nassau Street is one of many ways to demonstrate Valentine’s Day affection (see princetonmagazine. com for an upcoming article on Viburnum and making a case for the anti-romantic). Over the coming weekend, there are multiple opportunities for celebrating the holiday. (Photo by Jeff Tryon)

An Entire Weekend of Events Celebrating Valentine’s Day “If I don’t do something, I’ll never hear the end of it,” a 40-something man was overheard telling a friend while waiting for a sandwich at Gennaro’s Italian Market in Kingston on Tuesday afternoon. “I mean, it’s not just one day this year. Valentine’s Day is on Sunday so it’s all weekend. I made a hotel reservation. But maybe it’ll snow and we won’t have to go.”

His friend nodded in sympathy. With Valentine’s Day falling on Sunday this year, reluctant romantics may be charged with making the celebration last for not one, but up to three or four days. In addition to the expected flowers, candy, and lavish meals, here is a range of less traditional ideas to make the holiday special — and unusual.

Holocaust Education Program At Adath Israel Congregation

“One Woman’s Courage: Irene Gut Opdyke” is the title of the ninth annual S ack s -Wi l n er Holo c au s t Education Program, taking place at Adath Israel Congregation on Sunday, March 6, at 3 p.m. The program will be presented by Ms. Opdyke’s daughter, Jeannie Opdyke Smith. Ms. Smith summarizes her mother’s story by saying, “In many ways the story of my mother’s life seems too unbelievable even for Hollywood. What was it about Irene Gut Opdyke that made her step out of the path of least resistance and choose to get involved when so many others did not? Was it her upbringing? Her faith? What gave her the courage and strength to do what she did? “My mother never sat me down and explained all of her reasons …. But these questions were answered: by her actions, her deeds and her day to day life. Mom ‘lived’ the two greatest commandments: to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself. The short, simple answer is this: faith, forgiveness, and love! “The day before my mother passed away she told my husband and me how grateful she was for her life, how she cherished every day. There was no regret, no bitterness … just gratitude. I could only marvel at her contentment and pray that at the end of my life, I could say that I too had run the race that was set before me, and finished as well as she had.” The Sacks-Wilner program was established by a bequest to Adath Israel from Dr. Arthur and Esther SacksWilner. This year’s program is presented by Adath Israel Congregation in partnership with the Jewish Family and Children’s Service. RSVP to Adath Israel at w w w. adathisraelnj.org or (609) 896-4977. The synagogue is at 1958 Lawrenceville Road. ———

Did you pick the winners in the Iowa primaries? How about New Hampshire? If not, you’re in good company. The renowned Gallup Poll didn’t either. In fact, according to Gallup Editorin - Chief Fran k New por t in a speech last Thursday at Princeton University’s Dodd’s Auditorium in Robertson Hall, Gallup is backing off from the predicting business — no more “horserace polling.” Speaking to an audience of about 90 University students and visitors, Mr. Newport emphasized that forecasting is only one of three major contributions that public opinion can make to society and that Gallup has decided that understanding and guidance are much more important Ever since the founding of the organization in Princeton by George Gallup in the 1930s, there has been great

controversy over polls and the role of public opinion in presidential elections. Recently the polls greatly underestimated Justin Trudeau’s election victory in Canada, mis-predicted David Cameron and the Tories’ victory in England and mistakenly called a victory for Donald Trump over Ted Cruz in last week’s Iowa primary. The change in the Gallup organization’s attitude toward the popular practice of forecasting, or horserace polling, began after the 2012 presidential election as a result of Gallup’s erroneous prediction of a Mitt Romney victory over Barack Obama, and resulted in a far-reaching review of all of Gallup’s operations. A sociologist and the author of books titled Polling Matters: Why Leaders Must Listen to the Wisdom of the People (2004) and God is Alive and Well: The Future of Religion in America (2012) and editor-in-chief at Gallup since 1991, Mr. Newport described a long history of problems with polling, citing a recent Frank Bruni New York Times op-ed “Our Insane Addiction to Polls” as supporting evidence. “It’s a controversial job,” Mr. Newport explained, as he went on to emphasize the importance of understanding (“what’s going on in an election and why, what’s behind the vote, what people are thinking”) and guidance (assessing “the collective wisdom of the people and the positive role it can play in moving a society and democracy forward”) — as opposed to predicting. The resources of the Gallup Poll, he argued, are much more valuable in con-

Frank Newport tributing to an understanding of the issues and priorities. “We need evidence between votings,” he said, so politicians know “the issues that are most important to the public, to particular groups” In spite of the high level of interest in forecasting — “Yes, Gallup made it famous. Yes, Americans love a contest. Yes, forecasting can help keep the process honest in cases of possible voter fraud. Yes, it provides a mechanism for decisionmaking (for example, who gets to participate in the debates)” — Mr. Newport argued strongly for the “tremendous value in spending more time on the understanding and guidance functions of opinion polling. In a shor t follow-up speech, Princeton University politics professor Chris Aiken praised the Gallup organization’s great contribution “to get us out of the little world in which we all live” and to “give us a far more honest picture of what people are thinking.” Survey research and predicting “is a tough racket,” Mr. Aiken said, but he urged Mr. Newport to “get back in the game.” Mr. Aiken emphasized the importance of Gallup’s role in election forecasting, stating, “You can do the game better than the competition can do it. Gallup has the resources and the talent to step-up the level of the game.” Mr. Aiken contended that recent miscalculations by opinion polls were caused by er ror s i n pre d ic t i ng voter turn-out — that voter turn-out assessments, for example, should have made it clear that Cruz had the advantage over Trump in Iowa. —Donald Gilpin

is spreading throughout the community. The mayor of Trenton recently expressed concern about activity in Trenton. We want people to know Human Services has been active, and is a source for people dealing with this.” Early in January ICE announced they would step up enforcement raids and they apprehended 121 individuals in Georgia, Texas, and Nor th Carolina, holding them in federal detention centers prior to deportation. There have been reports more recently of raids in other parts of the country, including New Jersey, but this is the first report of ICE activity in Princeton. Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter has stated repeatedly that “local law enforcement does not enforce federal immigration laws,” and Ms. Howard confirmed, “We want to make sure the community knows this wasn’t local law enforcement.” Princeton Police Officer Jorge Narvaez, who is bilingual and a member of the Safe Neighbors Unit, along with local community volunteer and LALDEF member

Bill Wakefield, and Human Services officials visited St. Paul’s Spanish language mass last Sunday, informing people what their rights are and how to respond to immigration enforcement activity. Princeton Human Services has distributed a statement in English and Spanish offering support to anyone feeling fearful or in need of information. “We recognize that these are stressful times for our community and our residents,” Human S er v ices stated. “Difficult as it is, we suggest remaining calm.” I n for m at ion re gard i ng knowing your rights and ICE raids is available at the Human Services office at One Monument Drive and on the town website. Human Services advised immigrants to keep important documents in a safe place, not to carry home country passports or consular cards, to obtain [from Princeton Public Library] and use a Mercer County ID. In the event of a raid, Human Services states that they “can link family members of a detained person to community organizations

$570,000 in Grants Awarded To 22 Local Agencies

The Princeton Area Comm u n i t y Fo u n d at i o n h a s awarded $570,000 to 22 local nonprofit agencies that are making an impact in our communities. “Our Greater Mercer Grants program is made possible by the generous support of our donors,” said Carol P. Herring, the Community Foundation’s Chair of the Board of Trustees. “Their support allows us to grant funds to nonprofit agencies that provide critical services to the residents in our communities.” More than half of the 22 organizations receiving grants are those that work with children, including the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen’s Send Hunger Packing program, the YMCA of Princeton’s Princeton Young Achievers, and Passage Theatre Company, which works to position the theater at the core of a social network, with its theater productions, new play development and arts education program, including one for Trenton Central High School students. “These grants show our commitment to providing funding to agencies that serve our most vulnerable populations, including the homeless, domestic v io lence survivors, and children living in poverty,” said Jeffrey Vega, the president and CEO of the Community Foundation. The list of grantees is: Artworks of Trenton, Literacy New Jersey Inc., Mount Carmel Guild of Trenton, National Junior Tennis & Learning of Trenton, New J e r s e y Fu t u r e, Pa s s ag e Theatre Company, People & Stories/Gente Y Cuentos, Planned Parenthood of Central & Greater Northern New Jersey, Princeton Senior Resource Center for Grandpals program, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, UrbanPromise Trenton, Volunteer Con nect, and Y MCA of Princeton. The Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County, Dress for Success Mercer Count y, Habitat for Humanity Trenton Area, HomeFront, Interfaith Caregivers of Greater Mercer County, PEI Kids, the Rescue Mission of Trenton, Womanspace, and the YMCA of Trenton received unrestricted grants, which will allow them to build and strengthen their capacity to serve low-income residents and families. The Community Foundation collaborates with charitable funds established at the Foundation by individuals and families to support Greater Mercer Grants. The list of donors grows every year and the Princeton Area Community Foundation welcomes the participation of those dedicated to supporting the nonprofit organizations that work on behalf of Mercer County residents.

In response to rising concerns over a drug epidemic throughout New Jersey and the nation, Princeton Alcohol and Drug Alliance, Princeton Health Department, and Princeton Police Department will be offering a presentation at Princeton High School on March 2, 7-9 p.m., to educate parents, high school students, and community members. “We want to make sure that we alert the community that heroin is around, and we want people to have the facts,” stated Alliance Coordinator Gary DeBlasio, “so that they know what they’re looking at when they see it.” Since 2010 the rate of heroin deaths in the U.S. has tripled, and in New Jersey the heroin overdose death rate is triple the national average and now eclipses homicide, suicide, car accidents, and AIDS as a cause of death in the state. “In Princeton, we’re seeing a problem now with young adults, 18-35, kids who are not in school or college, typically kids who are floundering,” Mr. DeBlasio pointed out, “but it [heroin addiction] could hit anybody — rich, poor, young or old. Heroin is so cheap now. No one is immune. It’s too easy to say that it’s not here, but it is.” “Heroin & Opiates: They’re Here” will feature a keynote address by Michael DeLeon, founder of Steered Straight, and director of award-winning

documentaries Kids Are Dying and An American Epidemic. Members of the Princeton Police Department, Corner House, and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office will join DeLeon for a panel discussion, with topics to include treatment options, area drug trends, and the use of Narcan, an opiate antidote which reverses the effects of an overdose. The presentation will explain why heroin is more prominently used than costly prescription drugs, as well as what to look for if you suspect someone might be involved in heroin use. Other information provided includes the physical symptoms to look for in a heroin user and a list of resources if you suspect someone of drug use. There were five arrests in Princeton last year for possession of heroin, one of them also for distribution, and there were five cases of heroin overdose reported, with one of the five resulting in death — but no cases so far this year, according to the Princeton Police Department. Good Samaritan legislation in New Jersey provides criminal immunity for the caller reporting and the people in need, so, in the case of users, the person who has overdosed is usually treated by medical authorities rather than police authorities. —Donald Gilpin

THREE CONVENIENT LOCATIONS

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, fEbRuARY 10, 2016 • 14

Mailbox Executive Director of Sustainable Princeton Thanks Presenters at Great Ideas Breakfast

To the Editor: I want to thank the eight inspiring presenters from our community who provided their diverse visions of a Sustainable Community at our Great Ideas Breakfast on January 28 at the Princeton Public Library. The visions included statements about courage, creativity, product stewardship, fruit and nut trees, faith, open space, legacies, buying local, and bold vision. My bold vision is that Princeton will become Net Zero and Waste Free by 2023. But we need coordination and collaboration to even begin to get us there. In the past six years in Princeton there have been many important sustainable steps taken, partnerships formed, policies considered and award winning sustainable programs established in this town. All these actions have led us to this moment. The moment where action and vision meet in 2016. Our municipality has installed LED traffic lights, conducted energy audits in all their buildings, purchased four hybrid vehicles, launched the first curbside compost program in the state, installed water bottle refill stations in our parks, and will soon put a solar array on the landfill on River Road to power the Sewer Operating Commission. Our town has Share-rows and bike racks, parks and walking trails, open space, and farmers markets. There is more — at least 150 residents have conducted energy audits on their homes. 1,000 residents have diverted almost 500 tons of food waste from the landfill. Residents and businesses together have recycled more than 1 million plastic bags since September, 2015. These plastic bags weighing about 1,000 pounds would have ended up in the landfill.

What is missing is a boldly stated and constantly repeated vision that connects all these actions. We need to consider creating a Princeton Climate Action plan with goals to measure the town’s progress toward Greenhouse Gas Reduction. We need to follow in the footsteps of Boulder, Chicago, Oakland, and many more communities that are refining and connecting their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We can draw on the considerable passion, intellect, and social capacity of this community to do it. It will take a sense of humor and a sense of urgency, countless hours of planning, patience, and persistence, but I believe Princeton is up to the challenge. Our community cares deeply about the environment. We love our trees, our lawns, our parks and our Priuses [according to Toyota Prii is plural for Prius]. We now need to organize that passion. We need to involve and challenge every corridor from housing and retail, to schools and homes to reduce our negative impact on the environment. We need to connect the dots between our commissions, committees, nonprofit groups and institutions. We need our mayor and Council to adopt this bold vision and embrace and imbed a sustainable mind set in every decision they make. Sustainable Princeton is ready to lead this charge but we cannot do it alone. Please join us. DIANE M. LANDIS Executive Director, Sustainable Princeton

AARP Warns New Jersey Residents About Phone Calls From IRS Scammers

To the Editor: Across New Jersey, residents have been receiving phone calls from scammers claiming to be from the IRS or the U.S. Treasury for a while now. This isn’t necessarily a new scam. But over the last few days, the number and frequency of these calls to New Jersey residents has increased, and it is likely to continue to escalate as we enter the tax season. When they answer the phone, residents are told that they will be arrested and prosecuted if they do not pay them

immediately. The name Dennis Grey is sometimes (but not always) given. And for a new wrinkle, in some cases, callers have been spoofing their caller ID to display “AARP,” further highlighting their desire to encourage seniors, whom they often target in these scams, to answer the phone. The fact is, these calls are not legitimate and are in no way connected to AARP or any government agency. The IRS will NOT communicate with you by phone. If you receive a call from someone purporting to be from the IRS or the U.S. Treasury, regardless of what appears on your caller ID, give them NO identifying information and insist that they send everything to you in writing. JEFF ABRAMO Interim Manager of Communications and Community Outreach, AARP New Jersey Rockingham Row, Forrestal Village

Hoping Morven Will Share Parking With Senior Center Bridge Players

To the Editor: I often attend a duplicate bridge game held at The Senior Resource Center on Thursday afternoons. This game is very well attended by over 80 players. The Senior Center does not have adequate parking for this many people. Morven has formerly allowed the Senior Center to use some of their parking lot. This has been discontinued for this year because of Morven’s present exhibit. The bridge players now have to park on Stockton Street. I found this to be extremely dangerous. It is difficult to open the driver’s side door or to get across the street because of heavy traffic. This is further complicated when large amounts of snow force the cars further into the roadway, creating a hazardous condition. I checked the Morven parking lot on a recent afternoon and there were only a handful of cars. I was hoping that Morven would again graciously allow the bridge players to use some of their parking lot. AUDREy EGGER Coniston Court

Thanking Adult School Knitting Instructor For Alerting Knitters to Needs of Syrian Camp

To the Editor: Recently, Mrs. Susan Ashmore, instructor of knitting at the Princeton Adult School, alerted her circle of knitters to my plan to visit Syrian refugee camps in Lebanon as one of a delegation from the board of an international relief and development agency. I wanted to thank Susan publicly, and the many folks who knitted the warm hats and blankets that I was able to bring with me. The situation is terribly difficult and the need is overwhelming. Plastic sheet tents provide little protection from winter weather, and the alleys between them are basically mud when it rains, as it had just before our visit. It is impossible for these families, many with small children, to keep warm and dry. Folks depend upon local generosity and international aid. The gesture was so appreciated, and in particular, the thought that other mothers from the United States had taken time to hand knit and send these gifts for the children. Many thanks to Susan for assembling these kind offerings that meant so much. ANNE MACkOUL Gallup Road

Blacks at D-Day Subject of Talk

Linda Hervieux will be talking about and signing copies of her book, Forgotten: The Untold Story of D-Day’s Black Heroes, at Home and at War (HarperCollins), at the Carl Fields Center, 58 Prospect Avenue, at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, February 10. The event is sponsored by the Princetonians of Color Network. Ms. Hervieux traveled the United States inter v iewing surviving members of the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, a unit of AfricanAmerican soldiers who were some of the first to land on D-Day but were completely written out of the stor y. Movies don’t show them. History books don’t mention them. Forgotten follows them from their hometowns in Jim Crow America to their specialty Army training camp in Tennessee, where they experienced discrimination, banned from restaurants where German prisoners of war were allowed to eat. It wasn’t until they were deployed to Europe that they were treated equally for the first time. Though one million African Americans served in World War II, none received the Medal of Honor until President Clinton awarded a handful in 1997. Ms. Hervieux has documentation proving that at least one of the men featured in her book was recommended, but due to racism never received his medal. ———

Fintan O’Toole Giving Robert Fagles Lecture

Theatre critic and scholar Fintan O’Toole will deliver the 2016 Rober t Fagles Memorial Lecture entitled, “Carnival and Ruin: Looting in the 1916 Rising,” on Friday, February 12 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater, 185 Nassau Street. The lecture, presented in recognition of the 1916 uprising or Easter Rising, considers the armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916. Part of the 2015-16 Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University, the event is free and open to the public. One of Ireland’s leading public intellect uals, Mr. O’Toole has written for The Irish Times, New York Daily News, Sunday Tribune (Dublin), and In Dublin Magazine. His books on theater span a wide range of topics, from his biography of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to theater currently appearing on Irish stages. He is the assistant editor, a columnist, and a feature writer for The Irish Times. He also contributes to The New York Review

of Books, The New Yorker, Granta, The Guardian, The Observer, and other international publications. In 2011, The Observer named O’Toole one of “Britain’s top 300 intellectuals.” He has received the A.T. Cross Award for Supreme Contribution to Irish Journalism, the Millennium Social Inclusion Award, and Journalist of the Year in 2010 from TV3 Media Awards. O’Toole’s mos t recent project, History of Ireland in 100 Objects, covers 100 highly charged artifacts from the last 10,000 years. It has been published in book form by the Royal Irish Academy and as an application for iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. Robert Fagles, for whom the annual Memorial Lecture is named, was a member of the Princeton faculty for 42 years in the Department of Comparative Literature and a renowned translator of Greek classics. His critically acclaimed translations of Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey became bestsellers. Information on upcoming Fund for Irish Studies series events can be found at fis. princeton.edu. ———

Eric Maywar, the owner of Classics Used and Rare Books on Lafayette Street in Trenton, is launching his online novel, Running Flat, on February 15. The book features photography by Tamara Ramos, illustrations by Bethany Sellers, poetry by Pulitzer Prize winner Yusef Komunyakaa, and music by the Blue Method. The format allows readers the freedom to follow their own storyline. According to Trentonian columnist Jeff Edelstein, Maywar has “actually forged new literary ground.” The 75-chapter serialized novella that can be bought for $10, will be sent to your email three times a week. But it’s more than just a story about love and revenge that takes place in Trenton, Philadelphia, and France — it’s also quite alive, w it h illustrations, photography, music videos, poetry readings, and more populating the links. For example, if the characters are at a concert, there’s a link to the music. You can also skip around the story, following characters as they go. There’s a lot going on, in other words.” You can check it out at runningflatnovel.com.

Mr. Simon ques t ioned whether the purchase would be the best use of the Open Space funds. “We’re in a budget year when behind the scenes we’re talking about limiting funds for police, the library, and other services,” he said. “Something has to give. Our capital plan is not even close to being balanced.” Ms. Butler suggested the Green Acres funds “could free up a lot of current income to do other projects for open space.” But in the end, she voted for the measure. The tract will be purchased from Princeton Land Development LLC, which has agreed to abandon an application it had for construction of 36 townhouses on the property. Council President Lance Liverman called the purchase “a win-win for

the town, the residents and our future.” Heather Howard and Jenny Crumiller also expressed their support for the ordinance. “By preserving the land, we preserve it forever,” Ms. Crumiller said. “If we don’t, we lose it forever. It’s more valuable than the money.” —Anne Levin

Pure Barre Studio Comes to Palmer Square

Pure Barre, the popular workout franchise, has signed a lease to open a studio at 31 Hulfish Street on Palmer Square. The studio, which will open in late February, is located above Mediterra restaurant. Owner Jacqui ArceQuinton was already a Pure Barre fan when she and her husband decided to move to Princeton and open the studio. “Not only did we choose Palmer Square because it’s in the heart of town, but we

decided to live here, too,” she said. “Princeton has been very welcoming and I’m so excited to share my passion for Pure Barre with the local area.” Since it began franchising in 2009, Pure Barre has spread to over 300 studios across the United States. Using small isometric movements, it is a 55-minute workout that lifts the seat, tones thighs, abs, arms, and burns fat. The technique works each muscle group to fatigue, then stretches them back out to create long, lean physiques without bulk. It is low-impact, making it safe for clients of all ages and fitness levels. A pre-opening special of five weeks unlimited classes for $100 is being offered. The studio will also carry a line of activewear. To sign up for classes, visit www.purebarre.com/njprinceton.

Art New ARTWORKS Executive Director Makes Trenton Artists His Priority

Lauren Otis W hen Lauren Otis was approached about becoming executive director of ARTWORKS, the Trenton visual art center, he was hesitant at first. “I thought long and hard about it,” said Mr. Otis, who served on the organization’s board from 2009 to 2014 and has been active in several of its programs. “I felt I almost knew too much. I knew how big a job it was.” But ultimately, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to have a leading role in a movement he feels pas sionate about: furthering the arts in Trenton. Where some see blight and decay on the capital city’s streets, Mr. Otis sees artistic opportunity. “I am a true believer. I’ve given lectures on the subject,” he said. “There is this negative public story. But those of us in the arts see this incredible flowering of creativity. It’s not just street art or mural art. There are also interesting events going on all over the city that are driven by art.” It was Mr. Otis who founded the popular Art All Day, an ARTWORKS-sponsored event each November where Trenton artists open their studios to the public. It is a cousin of the wildly successful Art All Night weekend, a 10 -year- old event that draws thousands to a former Roebling Steel factory in Trenton every June. Housed since 1988 in a former Sears warehouse on the edge of Trenton’s Mill Hill neighborhood, A RTWORKS was founded as the Princeton Art Association in Princeton 52 years ago to offer artists professional support. The focus has been almost exclusively on Trenton artists since 2007, and Mr. Otis plans to continue along that path.

“I grew up in New York City,” said Mr. Otis, who is 56. “I went to college [University of Pennsylvania] in Philadelphia and I’ve lived in cities my whole life. I like the energy, the diversity. Trenton has amazing housing and commercial development right now. And the arts can be an economic engine to drive cities. We’ve seen it in Philadelphia’s Fishtown section, in Brooklyn, and even in Detroit, a city on the brink of insolvency. I’m really looking forward to these kinds of things happening in Trenton and it’s already begun.” Mr. Otis’s name may be familiar to Princeton residents from his years editing and writing for the Princeton Packet, from 2006 to 2010. He has freelanced for the Trenton Times, New York Times, New Jersey Monthly, and other publications. All the while, street photography has been a priority. “I started doing it in high school, and have continued in Trenton. I love it,” he said. A re sident of Trenton since moving to the city 25 years ago, Mr. Otis shares studio space with photographer Andrew Wilkinson. They have par tnered on several events to promote the city as an artistic destination. Mr. Otis comes to the ARTWORKS position following the departure of former director Lynn Lemyre, who left after four-and-onehalf years to care for family members. “She did a great job,” said Mr. Otis. “She re-

ally set ARTWORKS on a good course.” In hiring Mr. Otis, the organizations Board of Trustees chairman Jeff Stewart said in a press release, “Lauren brings a depth of knowledge of ARTWORKS and the Trenton community, coupled with an exciting vision of what ARTWORKS can become.” Mr. Otis said he intends to continue on Mr. Lemyre’s path while investigating new opportunities for the organization. “I’ll be doing some new things, but keeping the great programming we have,” he said. “The goal is to make art accessible to everyone.” —Anne Levin

“CANDYLAND”: Hun School student artist Carmel Monkton ’16 received a Gold Key Award from The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for her painting “Candyland.”

Hun Students Produce Award-Winning Art

Hun School artists Carmel Monckton ’16, Baiyi ‘Rebecca’ Ning ’17, and Siyeh ‘Sophia’ Chung ’17 received prestigious awards for their artwork submissions to the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards [SAWA]. SAWA is the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious recognition initiative for creative teens. Carmel’s acrylic painting, Candyland, received a Gold Key award. Candyland was inspired by a time-lapse video of ice melting. The five-feet wide by five-feet tall piece was created in Carmel’s Advanced Studio Art Honors class last year with faculty member David Bush. Carmel is currently studying AP Studio Art and assembling her portfolio for admission to a collegiate visual arts program. She intends to pursue a career as a professional artist. Reb e cc a re ceive d t wo Gold Key awards. The first was for Bamboo Pavilion, an architectural design and rendering, which she created while studying Architectural Drawing with Mark Niederer. The second was for Every life is a boat, a charcoal and chalk illustration she drew in Studio Art with David Bush. Sophia received a Silver Key award for her photograph, Lotus, which was a product of her work in Stacy Collingham’s Photography 2 class last year. The image explores the various gradations of tone and color in lotus leaves as represented in a black and white print. In addition, Sydney Santori ’16 and Fadekemi ‘May’ Tejuoso ’18 each received Honorable Mention distinction for their submissions of sculpture and photography. SAWA, now in its 93rd year, recognizes student achievement in the visual and literary arts in 29 categories. SAWA counts Truman Capote, Sylvia Plath, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Stephen King, and Lena Dunham among its alumni of award recipients. ———

Lambertville Artist Invited to China

Only a few weeks into the New Year, and painter Kelly Sullivan is off to a great start. Monmouth Museum chose “Bucks Pasture,” also featured on the CBS political drama “Madam Secretary,”

to be displayed in their Main Gallery through March 13, 2016 for the 37th Annual Juried Art Exhibition. This year, she will be traveling around the world to China, India, Alaska, and many more destinations. Terex Corporation has commissioned Kelly to create another FingerSmears™ piece at their 2016 Leadership Conference. FingerSmears™ are large scale commemorative paintings created under Kelly’s direction using dabs of paints from hundreds — sometimes thousands — of people on one canvas. To date, Terex has commissioned over 11 FingerSmears™, and the collaborative works hang in their factories around the world including India, Australia, Ireland, Italy, and the U.S. Kelly Sullivan Fine Art Gallery, located at 13 North Union Street in Lambertville, opened its doors last year, featuring her landscape and portrait paintings. On display is “Maine Coast,” one of the nine chosen pieces for the set of “Madam Secretary,” and “Rock and Roll Voodoo FingerSmears™,” a collaborative art piece created 20 years ago with the Rolling Stones and their guests at a private party during the Voodoo Lounge Tour in 1994. Her next exhibition “The Restless Road” will consist of over 20 new works depicting Kelly’s travels through Uganda, China, Haiti, Guatemala, and more. Her works will be accompanied by stories and poems from the road, as well as video and photographs for her Mighty Fingers work. The exhibition will open on April 1, and the sale of her work will help take Sullivan’s Mighty Fingers Facing Change (MFFC) project to India in late April 2016. (MFFC) is an art project that empowers and connects adolescent girls around the world. Kelly and her team recently arrived home from Tororo, Uganda where she produced MFFC with over 80 girls. Uganda was her 7th location in this global project. Her next scheduled location is India in April of 2016. Because of her history in collaborative work and arts for social change, Kelly was just extended an invitation to China where she will be teaching and painting in the rural villages surrounding Mengla, China. The project is coordinated by Jiuq-

Jay Vawter Decoy Exhibit Coming to D&R Greenway

Decoys—Timeline: From Craft to Art, a new exhibition from the Jay Vawter world-class Decoy Collection at D&R Greenway Land Trust, is on view through November 2016, at the land trust’s Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, Princeton. The event is free during business hours of business days. There will be an opening reception Friday, February 12, beginning at 5:30 p.m.. This exhibit includes a selection of working decoys that are more than 100 years old. Jay Vawter made a generous gift of his prizew inning decoys to D & R Greenway in 2012. “With this exhibition we want to give a sense of how decoys went from being a hunter’s tool and craft to a fine art,” says Vawter, a retired investment counselor and avid photographer who has traveled the world, amassing his decoy collection. “The first three in the case, on loan from Ron Kobli of Frenchtown’s Decoy and Wildlife Gallery, were actually used by hunters to lure birds.” One carved by John English dates from circa 1900. Another, made by Bob White in the early 1960s, replicates the style of the early 20th-century gunning birds. Some of the earliest birds have glass or wood eyes. By 1960, Vawter notes, Lem Ward had started to make decorative birds. Lem and his brother Steve Ward, hunters and fishermen, carved decoys to sell in their barbershop in Crisfield, Mar yland, in the 1920s. A decade later, the decoy business took off as fishing became a necessary way to feed families during the Depression. Even as the economy recovered, the decoy business continued to grow as sport hunting became popular. A program on transformations in the world of decoy carvers will take place later in the year, date and time to be announced. The gallery is open during business hours of business days, through October, 2016. For more information, call (609) 924-4646, or visit: www. drgreenway.org ———

MUSIC REVIEW

chapel music presents

n recent years, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra has expanded its offerings to include both a Chamber and Pops series, among others. The Pops series has been in place for more than a decade, attracting new audience members and giving the musicians a chance to explore a different genre of repertoire. This past Saturday night, the Princeton Symphony treated the audience at Richardson Auditorium to some of the “greatest hits” from the movies — just in time for Academy Awards month. Movie scores may sound like simple melodies and easy harmonies, but film scores can be as sophisticated as the most complex symphony. Music and the movies have had an inseparable relationship since the beginning of film, and throughout the 20th century, composing for film was often part of a composer’s bread-and-butter manner of earning a living. For Saturday night’s performance, Princeton Symphony guest conductor Lucas Richman programmed a concert of film music from a number of decades, showing that as far back as the 1940s, film scores were both intricate and challenging. The format of pops concerts breaks down the barriers between stage and audience with conductor commentary and a more informal atmosphere than strictly classical performances. Mr. Richman immediately established a rapport with the audience (who seemed to be regular attendees at PSO Pops concerts), and introduced each piece with anecdotes often from his own background. The importance of percussion in film music was established from the outset with Miklos Rozsa’s Parade of the Charioteers from the 1959 Ben-Hur. PSO timpanist Jeremy Levine was kept busy throughout the evening, and especially in the “Parade,” one does not usually hear the timpani consistently this loud. Mr. Richman focused a good part of the concert on the music of John Williams, apparently a personal friend and colleague, and to whom he enticed the audience to sing “Happy Birthday” into a cell phone video. The music of Jaws is among the most recognized and parodied themes in film scores (along with the music of Psycho which followed the Jaws selection), and Mr. Richman kept the intensity of the music flowing well with the help of piano and celli. The sym-

phony returned to the music of Williams later in the program, with two selections from Superman and music to close the concert from Star Wars. In the Star Wars selections, a quartet of trumpets and trio of trombones contrasted well with wind solos from horn player Douglas Lundeen, oboist Nathan Mills, English hornist Henry Ward, and flutist Mary Schmidt. The most interesting orchestration of the evening belonged to Bernard Herrmann’s Psycho Suite, George Gershwin’s An American in Paris (as arranged by Mr. Richman) and Mr. Richman’s own arrangements of five love songs from movies. Herrmann’s three-movement Psycho: A Short Suite for String Orchestra was unique in its strings-only instrumentation, and recognizable in the jagged string bowings (which the players clearly enjoyed executing). Mr. Richman found lean melodic lines throughout the suite, building tension via the cello section like fingernails on a blackboard. The An American in Paris suite arranged by Mr. Richman was pure Gershwin, appealing to the audience’s desire to hear great tunes when they come to concerts such as this. In Romancing the Cinema, a set of five love songs from such movies as The Lion King, Love Story and Titanic, Mr. Richman’s arrangements provided opportunities for effective solo playing, including from Mr. Lundeen, Mr. Ward, and concertmistress Basia Danilow. As evidenced by the 74 entries for consideration for 2016 Academy Award “Best Song” nomination, vocal music plays a large role in film scores. Joining the Princeton Symphony on Saturday night was singer Jessica Hendy, a veteran Broadway and cabaret performer. Ms. Hendy sang songs from Superman, The Way We Were, The Man I Love, and Frozen. Ms. Hendy possessed a light and clear voice, and her classical vocal training showed in her good command of the upper registers of songs. Her handling of the difficult lower registers was helped by miking, and she maintained consistently good communication with the audience. ops audiences are loyal to the genre, and Princeton Symphony has done well to develop this series into a very good sized house at Richardson. No doubt there will be a great deal of crossover to the other PSO series, strengthening the organization as a whole. —Nancy Plum

Documentary on Race

A new documentary on race; written, directed, and produced by Dr. Sheena C. Howard, assistant professor of communication studies at Rider University; will have its premiere screening on February 25 at The Landmark Theatre, Ritz, and the Bourse, in Philadelphia. R e m i x i n g C o l o r b li n d examines how the current educational system shapes national understanding of race, and by extension, race relations. These areas of racial misunderstanding are explored through in-depth conversations with faculty, administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, and young people from a variety of Historic Black Colleges/ Universities, predominantly white institutions, and inner city high schools. Remixing Colorblind is Howard’s first film. She is also scheduled to appear on NPR and WBUR Boston’s Here and Now on February 21. To learn more, visit www. rider.edu.

Classic Songs From Classic Tumbledown had its pre- a short film starring Frances Films at Lawrence Library miere at the 2015 Tribeca Film McDormand.

Just in time for the 88th annual Academy Awards, the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System will be hosting “Classic Songs from Classic Films” on Thursday, February 18 at 7 p.m. Gordan James will deliver a lecture and perform a variety of songs from movies dating from the 1920s through the 1960s. James states, “I love movies, especially the way songs are used to tell the story or create atmosphere in the film. Imagine any scene devoid of music and it just doesn’t have the same impact. Can you imagine The Wizard of Oz without “Over the Rainbow?” Lawrence Library is located at 2751 Brunswick Pike in Lawrenceville. This event is free but advance registration is suggested.

“Tumbledown” Screening At Garden Theatre

Princeton Garden Theatre, in partnership with the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, presents a special screening of the independent feature film, Tumbledown, Tuesday, February 16 at 7:30 p.m., followed by a discussion with filmmakers and Princeton alumni Sean Mewshaw ’97 and Desi Van Til ’99 and moderated by Princeton University Professor of English and Comparative Literature Maria DiBattista. The Garden Theatre is located at 160 Nassau Street in Princeton. The screening will be preceded by a reception beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, however advance reservations are encouraged. Tumbledown is a comedic love story with a serious side. Hannah (Rebecca Hall) has been struggling to write the biography of her late husband, an acclaimed musician with a devoted following (voiced by Damien Jurado), while taking refuge with the protective locals in her Maine hometown. Things begin to change when she meets Andrew (Jason Sudeikis), a brash New York academic with an obsession for tragic artists and a different take on her husband. Though Hannah is skeptical of his motives, the unlikely pair strike up a deal to collaborate on the book, forcing them to confront truths about themselves and the possibilit y that the next chapter in their lives may be written together.

Festival and will have a limited theatrical release in the U.S. beginning on February 12. “Eight years ago we started working together on a small, personal film — a love letter to Desi’s hometown in rural Maine, a lighthearted exploration of grief and second chances,” says Mewshaw. “Eventually by dint of determination and luck Tumbledown grew into a bigger production, which we still aimed to keep true and a little off kilter. It’s exciting and fulfilling to have the opportunity to share our first film with the Princeton arts community that was so inspiring to us, and helped foster the creative courage we have relied on ever since.” Sean Mewshaw, Princeton Class of 1997 and the son of author Michael Mewshaw, was raised in Rome, Italy. He graduated from Princeton with degrees in English literature and a certificate in theater, then headed for Los Angeles where he spent a decade working on productions with filmmakers such as Philippe Rousselot, Martin Scorsese, Michael Ballhaus, and Gary Winick. With his wife Desi Van Til, Mewshaw adapted James Salter’s story Last Night as

Founding his own pro duction company, Mewshaw directed, shot, and edited commercials, shorts, and behind-the-scenes features for clients such as The Upright Citizens Brigade, Think Film, IBM, the United Nations, and Indian Motorcycles. Mewshaw and Van Til moved to Portland, Maine to make their feature film debut, Tumbledown, and chose to remain there to raise their children. Desi Van Til, Princeton Class of 1999, is a native of Farmington, Maine. She studied English literature at Princeton University followed by a post-graduate, cinema-intensive year in Paris on a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship before moving to Los Angeles to work in film. She worked under Greg Silverman, whom she cites as a mentor, at Revolution Studios and Warner Brothers, then spent five years as vice president of development for producers Donna Roth and Susan Arnold. Van Til associate-produced Gary Winick’s 13 Going on 30 starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo, as well as Judd Apatow’s Drillbit Taylor starring Owen Wilson.

At a time when race-related problems are exploding in communities across the country, including college campuses, Howard‘s documentary, “Remixing Colorblind,” offers a complex look at an ongoing conversation that has unsettled the United States since its founding.

“Accomplishments Have No Color”: A Black History Valentine for Leontyne Price and Donald Lambert

houghts of Valentine’s Day bring back a song I knew by heart when I was growing up. No wonder, the way my parents kept playing Nat King Cole’s recording of “Nature Boy.” They were addicted to it; so was everyone; the whole country was enthralled by the “strange enchanted boy who wandered very far, very far over land and sea.” The voice was already a pleasant part of our family’s life because of Cole’s “Christmas Song.” Now the same warm smooth deeply familiar voice that sang of chestnuts and yuletide carols and mistletoe was making me feel things I’d never felt before, exciting my imagination with dreams of distant lands and magic days, with a message about loving and being loved that was more appealing than the lessons I learned in school. But then I heard about what happened when the singer and his family moved into a white neighborhood in Los Angeles. Their dog was poisoned; racist slurs were burned into their front lawn. I was ten. At that age it simply made no sense to me that people could hate the singer of a song with that message, a song the whole country loved. A Diva’s Birthday Now here we are in 2016 with the shootings in Charleston and Ferguson, the poisoned water in Flint, it’s Black History Month, and the New York Times just ran a striking series of photographs from the archives under the heading “Unpublished Black History,” including a picture from 1948, the year of “Nature Boy,” showing two second-graders at Princeton’s newly integrated Nassau Street Elementary School, one an earnest looking black girl with one arm raised, the other a white boy, chalk in hand, dutifully working out some simple addition. Today is also Leontyne Price’s 89th birthday. She was born in Laurel, Mississippi on February 10, 1927. Until a few days ago, I knew very little about her or her music, my only excuse being my decided lack of interest in opera when she was in her prime. In January 1961, while she was receiving a 35-minute ovation after her Met debut in Il Trovatore, I was going to jazz clubs in the Village and seeing John Coltrane play “My Favorite Things” at the Apollo in Harlem. When she was on the cover of Time,

I was at a Carnegie Hall concert to benefit the African Research Foundation watching Miles Davis walk offstage after drummer Max Roach invaded the scene to protest the “colonial character” of the Foundation. As it happens, Miles Davis was a passionate admirer of Leontyne Price, writing in Miles:

Boy,” both songs brought me to the same emotional place. Whatever love was, this music drew from it, evoked it, exalted it. You feel Jerome Kern’s music and you feel Oscar Hammerstein’s words even if you don’t understand the history. The clincher is the last verse, with the words “tired of living and

The Autobiography, “I love her as an artist. I love the way she sings Tosca. I wore out her recording of that, wore out two sets.” You get an idea of what he’s talking about when you hear her sing the aria, “Vissi d’arte” from the opera Miles loved. One otherwise admiring YouTube blogger corrects the interpretation (“it’s supposed to be a prayer”), but the singer is beyond praying, she’s fighting for her spiritual life, asking why she’s been forsaken in her hour of grief: she’s not a supplicant but an artist who lived for art and lived for love and she’s singing at such a pitch, with such passion, that to hear her is like being ten years old again, feeling mindlessly happy and sad and excited by music about loving and being loved, for in the end that’s still what it’s all about. “Old Man River” The photos on Leontyne Price’s wikipedia page show her transition from a shy and sad-of-eye 24-year-old to Bess in Porgy and Bess to the super star of her glory years. It was while playing Bess that she fell in love with and married William Warfield, whose singing of “Old Man River” in the film Show Boat (1951) had its way with me around the time I was listening to “Nature Boy.” At 10, you cry when a cat dies, not when someone sings a song. While “Old Man River” was an epic of struggle compared to “Nature

feared of dying” as the camera moves in for a close-up of Warfield’s face. I was aware at the time that what I felt was what I was supposed to feel in church except that in church the lights were on, grown-ups could see you, and you had to behave yourself and try not to fall asleep or squirm too much; in the theatre it was dark and when the feeling got you no one could see it, it was all yours, whatever it was. Again, what better word for this mysterious force than love? Witherspoon-Jackson’s Unsung Hero You can’t talk about “Old Man River” without mentioning Paul Robeson, the most famous former resident of Princeton’s Witherspoon Jackson neighborhood. He can be seen singing the song in the earlier film of Show Boat (1936), his longer, more athletic version lifted by the presence of a chorus of workers for the last verse. Another gifted former resident of the historic neighborhood you may not have heard of but should definitely listen to is the legendary stride pianist Donald Lambert, whose birthday is February 12. If you don’t mind the disintegrating video, you can see the man with the fastest right hand this side of Art Tatum playing breakneck renditions of Gershwin’s “Liza” and Grieg’s “Anitra’s Dance” at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festi-

val. When he was a boy of ten, Lambert played piano accompaniment to silent films on Nassau Street. His roots in the community run deep. His mother was born Elma Julia Skillman; his paternal grandmother was Annis Bayard Whycoff. When he was six his family was living with his grandfather, Israel Skillman, at 23 Jackson Street, now Paul Robeson Place. His grand-niece Leona Vernon recalled the day of his burial at Princeton Cemetery, May 8, 1962, when copies of his last album Giant Stride were handed out to family members. Leona has childhood memories of sitting with Uncle Don as he played. It must have been quite an experience. According to one listener, he could take “The Bells of St. Mary’s” and “make it sound like he was playing in St. Patrick’s Cathedral.” After listening to Lambert, jazz critic Gary Giddins heard “the emotional message of stride” as “one of liberation” or “freedom itself.” Driven by stride’s “rhythmic intoxication,” the result is “gloriously human.” A Question of Color eontyne Price once said, “Accomplishments have no color.” She also said “The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to.” I’ve just seen her sing “O patria mia” from Aida at her January 3, 1985 Met farewell. She was two years short of 60. As great as the performance, maybe greater, more “gloriously human,” is the way she receives the prolonged tumultuous ovation. With the camera on her face, close-up, she doesn’t smile. She barely blinks. It’s almost as if she were enduring a deluge of adoration. When she looks up, she’s still singing, but all the music is in her gaze. When she looks down and clasps her hands on her chest, it’s as powerful a picture of loving and being loved in return as you’ll ever see. —Stuart Mitchner As far as I can tell, the only time Leontyne Price performed in Princeton was in a McCarter recital on January 17, 1955. Donald Lambert was the subject of the first feature I wrote for Town Topics (“The Unsung Hero of Stride Piano, Princeton’s Own Donald Lambert,” Dec. 10, 2003), one of the only articles of mine that isn’t archived at www.towntopics.com.

The Danish Girl

CINEMA REVIEW

Eddie Redmayne Portrays Sexual Preference Pioneer

n 2015, Eddie Redmayne won the Best Actor Oscar for his poignant portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. In The Danish Girl, Redmayne plays another icon who is virtually upstaged onscreen by an intriguing spouse. Here, he plays Einar Wegener aka Lili Elbe (1882-1931), a Danish artist best remembered as a pioneer in the transgender movement. Directed by Oscar winner Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech), the film was adapted from David Ebershoff’s novel of the same name. The book is based on a fictionalized account of Lili’s life, although her sexual reassignment surgery is factual. Redmayne’s androgynous appearance helps the movie immeasurably, as he is very convincing as a female. The picture is very timely in light of Bruce Jenner’s transformation into Caitlyn Jenner. The picture’s point of departure is Copenhagen in the Roaring Twenties, which is where we find Einar and his wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander) both working as aspiring artists. Her preference is portraiture, while he’s only been inspired to paint the same desolate landscape

marked by a clump of spindly, barren trees. Things change when Gerda suggests that he serve as a stand-in for the model (Amber Heard) whom she was supposed to paint that day. Einar dons female attire and finds himself enjoying the experience more than he expected. Next thing you know, he’s secretly slipping out into public in drag and even attends a soiree where he attracts an ardent admirer (Ben Whishaw) who is probably unaware of Lili’s true gender. The pair’s ensuing courtship eventually mushrooms into passion, and the scandalous infidelity puts a strain on Einar and Gerda’s marriage. Nevertheless, the movie’s main feature is the historic decision for Einar to undergo the world’s first sex change operation. Redmayne would be the favorite to win another Academy Award for Einar’s seamless metamorphosis into Lili, if he hadn’t just received one a year ago. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for sexuality and nudity. Running time: 120 minutes. Distributor: Focus Features. —Kam Williams

for more than 60 years. Our recipes are second to none, all with fresh ingredients, homemade sauces, and everything made to order. Our presentation is special, and with our generous portions, no one leaves here hungry! In fact, most people take something home.” Phenomenal Flavor Everything on the menu is popular, he adds, although some customers have their favorites they just can’t be without. “Butterfish is a signature dish for us,” says Mr. Lettera. “It’s a white fish served with sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts in a cream sauce over angel hair pasta. Seasoned chicken is another specialty, and our Mafalda’s salad is always in demand. It includes ham, salami, cheeses, artichoke hearts, tomato, and a very special balsamic vinaigrette. When customers tr y the salad, they are amazed at the flavor. We mix the vinaigrette 20 minutes by hand. It has phenomenal flavor.” Other favorites include chicken cacciatore on the bone with mushrooms, black olives, capers with white

hoices for dining out abound today. New restaurants seem to pop up all the time, and whether it’s French, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Spanish, American Fusion, or Italian, there is a “taste” for everyone.

IT’S NEW To Us

For those who love authentic “old school” Italian cuisine, Mafalda’s, Mama’s Italian Kitchen in Hamilton, is a “must” visit. Located at 3681 Nottingham Way, it opened almost two years ago, and as co-owner Anthony Lettera points out, it is another outstanding example of his family’s successful restaurant experience. “My parents had always been in the restaurant business. They had The Villager in New Hope in the 1970s, also Tony’s Pizzeria in Bordentown, another in the Yardville Hotel in Yardville, and Lettera’s Keg in Chambersburg in Trenton. “We are really set apart by our family’s restaurant experience. We’ve been doing this

wine, garlic, and red peppers; also Italian-style tripe with fresh tomato basil, onions, and garlic crustini. “We specialize in ‘Old School‘ Italian cuisine,” emphasizes Mr. Lettera. “Sunday gravy (tomato sauce) and pasta, stuffed artichoke, crepe manicotti, and homemade meat balls are highlights. Everything is a family recipe, and everything is cooked to order.” Entrees range from $15 to $28, and a special children’s menu is available, with kids’ favorites at $6 and $7. Appetizers are also specialties at the restaurant, and one of the top favorites is pork medallions served with fresh figs in fig sauce. Anyone who tries the dish for the first time is in for a treat, and will surely order it again, notes a regular customer from Princeton. Mafalda’s also offers an oyster bar with various raw seafood choices. Imported Cannoli Desserts are an important part of the menu, especially including homemade tiramisu served in a champagne glass; homemade ricotta pie, creme brulee, and special imported cannoli from Sicily. Various coffees, including cappuccino and espresso, are offered, and Mafalda’s is happy to provide set-ups for customers who enjoy bringing wine to accompany their dinner. T h e ch ar m i n g re s t au rant is known for its warm, friendly atmosphere as well as its fine food. Featuring Italian- oriented decor, it

seats 65, and 35 outside in nice weather. “We have wine tastings ever y couple of months, which include four courses and wine with each course,” notes Mr. Lettera. He adds that entertainment is provided by well-known area singer Barbara Trent alternate Wednesday evenings. Catering is also an important part of Mafalda’s business. “We cater to more than 12 different locations in the area, including a variety of organizations, points out catering manager Donna Severino. “We invite prospective clients for tastings at no charge.” In addition, the restaurant offers its own space for private parties and events. Catering Projects Mafalda’s has recently taken on catering projects for Cedar Gardens, the spacious banquet hall in Hamilton. “We can cater any event from 50 to 1000 people,” explains Mr. Letrera. “Any size and style — corporate, wedding, anniversary, fundraiser, etc. There are exciting future plans for Cedar Gardens, including a supper club with wine tastings, a courtyard for dining, and an outside tent for weddings. It also offers parking for 400 cars. “The Cedar Gardens catering has really taken off. We were booked for the holidays, and there are a lot of benefits and fund-raisers coming up. I hope to see Cedar Gardens become the number one catering facility in the state of New Jersey.” As far as Mafalda’s is concerned, Mr. Lettera is certain that it will always be known for great Italian food.

Tiger Women’s Hockey Defeats Cornell 5-0, Clinching 1st Ivy League Crown Since 2006

year ago, the Princeton University women’s hockey came agonizingly close to an Ivy League title, ending up one win behind champion Harvard after dropping a 2-1 heartbreaker to Yale in the regular season finale. In the wake of defeating Colgate 4-2 last Friday evening, Princeton learned that it had a chance to earn this season’s Ivy crown with a victory at Cornell on Saturday. “After the Colgate game, we found out that Brown had tied Harvard,” said Kampersal. “The kids were pretty pumped about that so that gave them some extra incentive to close it out the next day.” Princeton proceeded to close things out in style, defeating Cornell 5-0 in earning its first Ivy title since 2006 as it improved to 19-5-1 overall and 12-5-1 ECAC Hockey. The Tigers finished their Ivy games with an 8-2 record in league competition, ahead of Harvard in second at 6-2-1, which was eliminated from the race even though it has one game remaining. “They played hard, we played hard,” said Kampersal, reflecting the Cornell game which saw the teams skate to a 0-0 tie through the first period. “Then we got a goal in the middle of the second to start off and they called it back and it was clearly a goal. I was thinking of last year when we played against Yale and the refs made a tough call and thought this isn’t happening again. But our kids didn’t get flustered, they kept with it. We scored shortly thereafter and once that first goal got in, we started building momentum and doing a good job.” Junior star defenseman Kelsey Koelzer and freshman forward Karlie Lund, who was later named both the ECACH Player and Rookie of the Week, did a very good

job of triggering the Princeton attack in the weekend sweep. “Kelsey had three assists in both games and Lund had that hat trick against Colgate, both of them were phenomenal,” said Kampersal, who also got a goal from freshman Keiko DeClerck in the win over Colgate with junior Cassidy Tucker, senior Cristin Shanahan, freshman Kimiko Marinacci, junior Morgan Sly, and junior Hilary Lloyd finding the back of the net in the victory over Cornell. “Kelsey just brings so much offense from the back, she is really tough to defend. Lund is awesome. She slows the game down and she makes the players that she plays with better.” Senior goalie Newell has been raising her game as she had 37 saves against Colgate and 30 in the shutout of the Big Red. “Kimberley was great all weekend so that was a big part of our success,” said Kampersal of Newell, who was later named the ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week for her heroics. “With all the seniors they know it is getting close to the end. They may have opportunities to play after school but they are coming to the end of their Princeton career. With Kimberley, you could sense the way she went through pregame practice, she is on a little bit of a mission.” The Tigers started the weekend on a mission at Colgate as it broke open a tense 2-2 game with two unanswered goals in the third period. “Colgate has got a really good team,” said Kampersal. “They are young, they are mostly freshmen and sophomores, they are well coached. They have some size and have some skilled players. They are good on the power play. They got one early on

us but we didn’t get rattled. We got a chance to tie and then once we got ahead, I thought we played a little bit better, a little more confidently.” In reflecting on winning the Ivy title, the seventh in program history, Kampersal said it was the product of his players’ daily commitment to excellence. “It is awesome, our kids are great,” said Kampersal, whose team has climbed to No. 8 nationally in the the USCHO.com Women’s Division I poll. “They chose a word at the beginning of the year, their team identity was to be ‘re- NET GAIN: Princeton University women’s hockey goalie Kimlentless’ and that is what they berley Newell makes a save in a game earlier this season.

Pulling Away to Wins Over Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton Men’s Hoops Produces Home Sweep Spencer Weisz produced a sizzling start as the Princeton University men’s basketball team jumped out to a 46-23 lead over visiting Dartmouth last Saturday evening. The junior for ward hit all four of his three-point attempts as the Tigers appeared to be on the verge of running the Big Green out of Jadwin Gym. “We have been an aggressive bunch and I think that has really been helping us so far,” said Weisz. “I was fortunate enough to get some quality looks, my guys were finding me in transition and within our half court offense.” After building that 23-points cushion, Princeton had to grind it out to overcome a feist y Dar tmouth team, which went on a 16-0 run to make it a 46-39 game early in the second half. The Big Green got to within seven at two other points in the half but the Tigers were able to pull away to an 83-70 win before 2,553 at Jadwin Gym. “It was a nice win for us in terms of that,” said Weisz, reflecting on Princeton’s ability to hold off the Big Green as it improved to 14-5 overall and 4-1 Ivy League. “They kind of stormed back at the end of the first half and for us to maintain the lead and not let it get

lower than seven shows our resiliency and our maturity over the past two years. I like the way we finished off the game and I think it will help us going forward.” Princeton’s offensive efficiency, which saw it shoot 28 -for-52 (53.8 percent) from the floor with three players in double figures as Weisz tallied 14 points with junior Steven Cook scoring a game-high 27 and junior Henry Caruso chipping in 17, should also help it going forward. “I think it speaks to the way we play, 21 assists and nine turnovers,” said Weisz, who also had five assists on the evening. “That is what we want to do, limit our turnovers and just spread the ball around.” A relieved Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson acknowledged that Dartmouth turned the contest into a nail-biter. “It was never comfortable, a 23-point lead just evaporated in what felt like five seconds, there was a half court shot and there were some things that contributed to that,” said Henderson. “I just thought that with Spencer, Steve, and Henry, there was a calmness. This is what we are going to do to start the second half.” Coming off an 83-62 win

over Harvard a day earlier before 3,549 at Jadwin, the Tigers couldn’t afford to slip up against Dartmouth with Yale sitting atop the league at 15-5 overall and 6-0 Ivy. “I think we are all aware that was a difficult win,” said Henderson. “It is a sweep on a weekend, a really pivotal win for us. We maintained our posit ion, where we needed to be going into a really important road weekend.” The play of Cook, who scored 21 points in the win over Harvard, was pivotal for the Tigers. “Steven is a very good player,” said Henderson of Cook, who was later named the Iv y Co-Player of the Week along with Yale’s Justin Sears. “We had a good talk on Tuesday and he was probably a little too aware of what was going on with him and it was just play. He is a good player and I thought he was terrific this weekend. Going forward, when rubber hits the road it is going to be those guys.” Having gone with a starting lineup of Weisz, Cook, and Caruso along with junior Pete Miller and sophomore Amir Bell every game this season, Henderson has found the guys who can keep the Tigers in the Ivy title race. “I think it started for us at the end of last year, the group that is playing plus Hans Brase,” said Henderson, who lost star center Brase to a knee injury before the start of the season. “Pete is the new guy. They feel very comfortable with each other. It is a group of eight or nine going forward. There is a good rhythm right

now. We make little to big jumps. I think Myles Stephens is making really big i mprovem ent s, ga m e to game. Alec Brennan is due any game now. Pete had a really solid game. Whatever we need to do, that is what these guys have been talking about to get wins. It was a huge weekend for us.” The Tigers will need to maintain that rhythm as they have another huge weekend coming up, playing at Cornell (9-11 overall, 2-4 Ivy) on Friday and at Columbia (16-7 overall, 5-1 Ivy) the next day.

“They think this is right where we need to be and I feel the same way,” said Henderson. “I want them to have a hunger for getting better and they have that. They have talked to me about that. They have calmed the head coach down, which is good. I am listening. We are in a good place. This is a funny league. You have got to win in a lot of different ways. We won one already we probably should not have won (a 73-71 overtime win at Penn on January 9).” We i s z , f o r h i s p a r t ,

believes Princeton has the offensive balance to beat anyone in the league. “When we shoot the ball well, we are certainly a dangerous team; it doesn’t really matter in terms of how we play if someone isn’t shooting well,” said Weisz. “I didn’t shoot particularly well early on in the season but we are still going to find our open guy. We can attack in so many different ways that it is hard for a defense to key in on one guy and that is what makes us so versatile.” —Bill Alden

Senior Forward Ambrosia Primed for Final Push As Tiger Men’s Hockey Heads Into Stretch Drive Mike Ambrosia and his fellow seniors on the Princeton Universit y men’s hockey team are deter mined to make the most out of their final weeks with the Tigers. “We want to try to put our best foot forward the last month here of the regular season,” said senior forward Ambrosia, a 5’10, 180-pound

native of Chatham, N.J. who serves as one of the team’s assistant captains. “Anything could happen and we want to get the team going in the right direction.” Last Friday against visiting Colgate, Ambrosia got things going in the right direction for the Tigers as

he assisted on the second goal of the contest to help Princeton jump out to a 3-1 first period lead. “It was kind of a broken down play, Hayden (Anderson) made a great heads up play back there,” said Ambrosia, who set up a tally by sophomore Eric Robinson with 8:53 left in the

period as the Tigers took a 2-1 lead. “He didn’t panic under pressure when they came at him, he made a great pass. I just tried to throw it on the net, to be honest. Robby (Eric Robinson) a tremendous player with a lot of speed, he goes hard on the puck and he was able to get it and throw it on net and luckily it went in.” After Colgate scored to make it 3-2, Ambrosia set up another tally on a 5-on3 power play, slotting the puck to Max Veronneau as the Tigers went ahead 4-2 with 6:06 remaining in the period. “It was kind of a broken down play and we were just trying to move it around and I flung it across the net and luckily Vern ( Veronneau ) was standing there,” said Ambrosia. “He made a great finish.” Unfortunately, Princeton didn’t produce a good finish as Colgate scored a goal late in the second and added two more tallies in the third to pull out a 5-4 win. “I think we played the style of hockey that we want to play for the first two periods,” said Ambrosia, who now has eight points on two goals and six assists this season with 37 career points on 14 goals and 23 assists.

“We got away from our game in the last period there; they have good offensive skill and they put two in the back of the net. That wasn’t the result that we wanted but we have to take the positives and learn from why they scored.” Although Princeton fell 1-0 to No. 17 Cornell a night later in moving to 5-16-2 overall and 3-11-2 ECAC Hockey, Ambrosia believes the Tigers are headed in a positive direction. “We have a lot of skilled guys up front that are very young and they are playing great,” said Ambrosia, referring to freshman Veronneau and his classmates, Ryan Kuffner and Alex Riche. “They have had tremendous years and we know that they are going to continue to do that. We are obviously focused on this year and always focused on the next game but they definitely have bright futures, that is for sure.” Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty is pleased with the impact made by his corps of newcomers. “We are asking a lot of the freshmen here, we are asking a lot of that line and all four of those freshmen are on power play,” said Fogarty referring to the trio of Veronneau, Kuffner, and Alex Riche along with freshman defenseman Josh Teves. “It is an awful lot to ask in college hockey. They have absorbed it and are doing a great job. They are getting a lot of ice time and more ice equals more opportunities.” In the early going last Friday, Princeton took advantage of opportunities as it scored four goals against Colgate in the first 33 minutes of the game. “F i n n ( C olg ate g o a l i e Charlie Finn) has had our number for the last three years, we came out and executed,” said Fogar t y, who got goals from Garrett Skrbich and Riche in addition to the tallies by Robin-

son and Veronneau. “We got pucks on the net, we got traffic, I think we did a good job of that. You score four goals, you have got to have a result.” But committing some defensive breakdowns, Princeton allowed Colgate to generate good scoring chances of its own. “We played so well, it was a great effort and we just compounded our mistakes in the third,” lamented Fogarty. “T h eir s k i l le d player s made great plays and we all try to recover instead of just doing our job. It takes time, that was a tough one.” In assessing Ambrosia’s play, Fogarty believes the senior is making the most of his fleeting time with Tigers. “Mike has been playing very well after Christmas, something clicked there, he would be the first one to say it,” said Fogarty, whose team plays at Clarkson on February 12 and at St. Lawrence on February 13. “He has taken a lead and that is what you need from your seniors. You need your seniors to lead offensively and he is doing a great job of it.” In Ambrosia’s view, Princeton needs to start clicking for all three periods on a nightly basis to do some damage in the last month of the season. “I think this last month we proved to ourselves that when we do play well 5-on5, when we do stay out of the box, and we don’t give other teams odd man chances that we can play with anyone in the nation,” said Ambrosia. “We played with (No. 1) Quinnipiac for a couple of periods. Internally we know if we play our game for a full 60 minutes that we will definitely have a chance to win. We have to do that and that is what we have struggled with so we are going to continue to work hard.” —Bill Alden

For the fifth time in their program’s histories, both the Princeton University men’s and women’s fencing teams have captured Ivy League titles in the same season. With each squad having perfect second days at the Ivy League Round-Robins Sunday at Cornell, the Tiger men and women wrapped up share d le ag ue t it le s with two other teams, putting 2016 alongside 2000, 2001, 2010 and 2012 as years when Princeton laid claim to Ivy championships on both sides. The men’s title is the program’s 15th, first since 2012 and third in the last seven years, while the women, who saw their five-year streak end a year ago, captured their ninth Ivy title and sixth in the last seven years. The men entered the day in a four-way tie with Columbia, Harvard and Penn, and with Harvard each getting tripped up by the other two, the Tiger men left Ithaca as tri-champs along with Columbia and Penn at 4-1. Columbia handed Princeton its lone loss, while Princeton beat Penn and Penn beat Columbia. Junior Alex House, who claimed top honors in épée

Paced by Stellar Corps of Distance Runners, PHS Boys’ Track Wins 1st Indoor Sectional Title This past fall, the Princeton High boys’ cross country team ended a long dry spell, advancing to the Meet of Champions for the first time since 1986. Last Saturday, the PHS boys’ track squad made more history, taking the team championship at the North 2 Group 3 sectional, earning the program’s firstever indoor sectional crown and first sectional title for PHS boys’ winter or spring track since 1989. “The relief and the wonder of the kids was fantastic, they were beside themselves,” said PHS boys’ head coach Ben Samara. “It means so much to the program. I think it can serve as a springboard and open the floodgates a little bit.” Junior A lex Roth and Sophomore Will Hare led the way in the distance events. Roth was second i n t h e 160 0 ( 4 : 25.35 ) and second in the 3200 (9:26.48). Hare was fourth in the 1600 (4:29.87) and third in the 3200 (9:46.52). Sophomore Alex Ackerman also finished sixth in the 3200 (9:50.88). Sophomore Nick Delaney (2: 01.78 ) and junior Cy Watsky (2:02.89) finished second and fifth, respectively, in the 800 meters. The 4x400 relay team of Oliver Hamit, Jeremy Cohen, Watsky, and Delaney ran 3:34.1 to seal the victory with a fourth place finish. In the 55 dash, junior Alex Solopenkov ( 6.84) finished third. Also scoring for PHS was Theo Tel, who finished sixth in the high jump with a leap of 5’ 8. While PHS came into the meet expecting to be a contender, earning the crown was a pleasant surprise. “We talked a lot about confidence, being bigger than the moment and really believing in ourselves that we could do it,” said Samara. “But we didn’t

expect to do it at all.” In reflecting on the triumph, Samara credited the team’s distance runners with setting the pace. “Roth and Hare ran out of their minds really, they were absolutely incredible,” asserted Samara. “I didn’t look at what the percentage was between Roth and Hare in the mile and two mile and Delaney and Watsky in the 800; that was such a large chunk of our points. Nick Delaney has been running really well, he is another one of those distance guys. The consistency is what staggers me, year in year out. One leaves and there is another one right there. That distance crew is so valuable at Princeton High. We know if we are going to win a title, we are going to ride on the backs of our distance crew. That is really our backbone.” Sparked by Solopenkov, PHS was able to score in the sprints. “We agreed that Alex is going to focus on these short sprints and he committed himself to the program and the team and to what we are doing,” added Samara. “His times just immediately dropped and he is the backbone, moving forward of that sprint crew. He is a fabulous kid.” On the girls’ side, PHS took fourth, highlighted by senior Jordan Vine, who won the 400 meters with a time of 1: 00.17. Vine (7.65) also picked up a crucial point with a sixthplace finish in the 55 meter dash. Sophomore Chloe Taylor (11:31.05) and senior Lou Mialhe (11:37.66) finished second and third, respectively, in the 3200. In the 1600, Mialhe finished fourth (5:17.29). Junior Noa Levy cleared 4’10 in the high jump to finish third on misses. I n S a m a r a’s v i e w, Vine’s performance was

inspirational. “Jordan has run fantastic,” said Samara. “About three weeks ago at group relays, she was spiked when we were runn i n g t h e 4x 20 0. T h e y thought it was a fracture and she thought her career was done. She thought that was it. I could see it in her eyes, it was heartwrenching. They took the bandage off and they realized the pressure was a little too tight and it was actually not a fracture. She came out three days later and ever since then, she has been blowing the doors off everybody in everything that she does. It is a second life for her and she has taken the sprint group on her back. She has been a fantastic captain, she is really a special kid.” As with the boys, the PHS girls’ distance runners were key. “They brought us back from the dead,” said Samara, referring to the heroics of Taylor and Mialhe. “They got nine points more in the two mile than we thought we were going to get, that put us back in the conversation. You get points in 1600, you get a second and third, 14 points, in the two mile. Coach (James) Smirk and his distance crew are just phenomenal.” In Samara’s view, words of encouragement from former PHS coach Marc Anderson, who guided the program during its halcyon days in the 1970s and 1980s and is currently an assistant with the Princeton University men’s track team, helped fuel the title performance. “With Marc being a good friend, we had him come talk to the team last week before sectionals and it brings everything full circle,” said Samara. “I feel like we are finally continuing the tradition now.” —Bill Alden

Having advanced to the finals of the Mercer County Tournament in his first two seasons with the Princeton High wrestling team, James Verbeyst was primed to take the next step as he headed into this year’s county competition. “I knew that I could definitely win it,” said junior star Verbeyst, who was competing at 145 pounds. “The bracket wasn’t as tough as it could have been. I knew I had a good shot at getting the gold and once I got in there and stepped on the mat, all the anxiety just went away.” Producing pins in the first two rounds of the tournament held earlier this month at Robbinsville High, Verbeyst faced Lavinsky Collins of Ewing in the final and pulled out a 6-5 decision to earn the title. “It was a lot closer than I would have wanted it to be, I thought I could have handled him better than I did,” said Verbeyst, who had placed second at 113 in the MCT as a freshman and second at 126 last season. “But I was just focusing on winning, I didn’t care how I got it. I just wanted to get that first county victory.”

For Verbeyst, getting the count y crow n brought a sense of relief. “Twice being in the finals and coming up short, this takes away all the anxiety for next year,” said Verbeyst, who was one of two county champions for PHS as freshman Alec Bobchin prevailed at 113 with the Little Tigers finishing seventh in the team standings. “There won’t be any more pressure to get the victory, I have got it now.” With a strong family influence, Verbeyst got into wrestling at an early age. “I was five when I started, my whole family wrestled, my dad wrestled, my brothers wrestled, I was born into it,” said Verbeyst, whose father Ken previously coached the Hopewell Valley High program. “When I first started out, it was really fun. Toward middle school, when I was winning, I liked it and when I was losing, it wasn’t as fun. It has had its up and downs but I am definitely getting there.” Getting to PHS in 2013, Verbeyst faced some challenges in making the transition to the higher level of competition. “Just the physicality, it is

It was the first county crown for Verbeyst, who had placed second at 113 in the MCT as a freshman and second at 126 last season. Verbeyst posted a 22-2 record in his first 24 matches this winter.

a whole new match in high school,” said Verbeyst. “The matches are longer and you wrestle men. There are no 10-year-olds that you are wrestling. It is a whole different wrestling style.” Verbeyst lost his high school debut but then went on to win 14 of his next 15 bouts and made it to the county final and District 17 championships at 113. “The kid I wrestled, Colin Monahan, was a real good wrestler and he was a senior,” recalled Verbeyst. “It wasn’t a fun first match but I was able to rebound and get a pretty good beginning going.” Over the last two seasons, Verbeyst has worked tirelessly to refine his skills on the mat. “I wanted to get a lot better on my feet, I think I have been doing that the last couple of years,” said Verbeyst, who previously wrestled for the Princeton Amateur Wrestling Society (PAWS) and is currently a member of the Team Apache club program in Trevose, Pa. “I have been getting quick on my feet and I have been getting a lot of pins. I have gotten 30 pins in the last two years alone. On top is where I really wanted to get better.” Verbeyst is happy to see the PHS squad get better collectively even as it deals with being shorthanded in most of its matches. “The team is doing great, we have given up a lot of points with forfeits each match and we are still on the cusp of being division champions,” said Verbeyst. “I give a lot of credit to the guys, who have been fighting through all the adversity.” In Verbeyst’s view, one of greatest things about wrestling is the chance to fight a foe one-on-one. “It is unlike any other sport, you win or you lose and it is all on you,” said Verbeyst, who is planning to wrestle in college. “In soccer or basketball, you have teammates, you could have the game of your life and your team might still lose. In wrestling, if you win it is because you beat that other guy and if you lose, it is because you didn’t do as well as you could. It is fun to go out there and have all eyes on you but then again all eyes are on you.” —Bill Alden

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.

Fletcher’s Leadership Sparks Reversal of Fortune As PDS Boys’ Hockey Makes Prep Title Game Connor Fletcher earned a battlefield promotion last winter when he was made the captain of the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team during his junior campaign when the coaches realized that he was holding the squad together as it struggled to a 3-17-4 record. Fletcher’s upbeat approach in the face of adversity has paid dividends this season as the senior captain has enjoyed seeing the Panthers resume their winning ways. “I think the biggest thing is that as players and as team, we are not play ing as individuals, we are

playing w ith each other and for each other,” said Fletcher. “I feel like we have made huge leaps in terms of that.” Showing huge progress this w inter, the secondseeded Panthers went 11-52 in advancing to the state Prep championship game where they hosted top-seeded Morristown-Beard last Thursday. PDS battled hard against the high-powered Crimson but fell behind 1-0 in the first period and then surrendered a second goal late in the second period when Mo-Beard went on a five-minute power play. The Panthers generated some good scoring opportunities

in the third as they outshot the Crimson 12-9 but ended up falling 3-0 as Mo-Beard tacked on an empty-netter with less than a second left in regulation. “Going down early against a team like Mo-Beard, it is tough to come back from that,” said Fletcher. “But I give it to the guys, in fiveon-five, we really stuck in it. At the end of the day, it was special teams that killed us. They had two power play goals and our power play wasn’t working as well as usual.” Fletcher tipped his hat to PDS junior goalie Logan Kramsky, who made 40 saves in a losing cause.

“Logan stops the puck for us day in, day out,” said Fletcher. “He was standing on his head. When there is a five minute penalty, one of them is bound to go in and we got a little unlucky with that one. I give it up to Logan, he is keeping us in every single game.” Coming into the third period, PDS was looking to stick with its game plan. “We weren’t trying to think win or lose there, it was just trying to go out and play our hardest game against them,” said Fletcher. “I feel like we played well, we just couldn’t find the back of the net.” W hile disappointed by the defeat in the title game, Fletcher is proud of how far the Panthers have come this winter. “We had a really tough

season last year and a real young group and the way t hat t hey have mat ured throughout this season and over the offseason has been a real blessing for us,” said Fletcher, who also stars in soccer and lacrosse and is headed to Cornell where he will play for the school’s storied men’s lax program. “We are leaving this game, knowing we have grown this season.” PDS head coach Scott Ber toli was hoping that Fletcher would go out with a Prep title. “You would have liked to think we could have found a way to get it done for Connor because he has meant ever y thing to us, to the school, and to the program,” said Bertoli. “He is a force on whatever field or rink he is on. He is such a good kid, he does everything the right way. All of our young guys look up to him. It is funny because I think the best job he has done was last year as a junior captain for a team with very limited success. The kid went about his business the right way. He had fun coming to the rink every day and I think the kids really benefitted from that. As a coach I appreciate it and as a coach I am smart enough to realize what he meant to that group last year and that has carried over to this year.” Reflecting on the defeat to Mo-Beard, Bertoli acknowledged that PDS ran into a tough foe. “It is the little things, blocking shots, playing in front of the net,” said Bertoli. “They are outstanding at it. They have three big seniors on the back side and they just clear the front of the net like front end loaders. It is unbelievable and it is tough to penetrate. But that being said, we had a ton of chances. We had odd man situations, it was the special teams that did us in tonight.” Kramsky’s outstanding

work in goal kept the Panthers in the game. “He is always good; on that 5-minute power play, they could have pushed it to 3-0 or 4-0 without some of the stops he made and that was key,” said Bertoli, in assessing Kramsky’s sparkling performance. “It gave us life. We came into the locker room and we felt like we are doing some good things and we had a chance right here at the end of the second. Was it goal, wasn’t it a goal, it depends on who you ask and what angle you looked at. The kid has been awesome all year, the kid has been awesome for three years. He, more than anyone in that locker room besides Fletcher, is the biggest reason why we have won as many games as we have this year.” For Bertoli, it has been heartening to see his squad’s reversal of fortune this winter. “I didn’t know what to expect, we lost so many kids; in addition to the graduations, we had three departures and those were pretty key guys,” said Bertoli. “You return a really young, inexperienced group. They have done a lot of good things and they have surprised me in a lot of ways and they have beat a lot of good hockey teams. We beat six or seven teams that beat us last year and beat us handily and some of them we beat twice and beat them twice handily. It bodes well for the future.” Fletcher, for his part, is looking to do more good things as he wraps up his last hockey season. “We are really excited to get back out on the ice and end the season on a high note,” said Fletcher. “It is a little bittersweet knowing that I am playing in my last Prep championship for hockey but there are no other kids I would rather be out there playing with.” —Bill Alden

Chase Lewis was a solo act for the Princeton Day School boys’ hoops team at times last winter. Despite being just a sophomore, Lewis was the team’s top scorer and main ball handler. But with the addition of freshman guard David Coit and junior transfer forward John McArthur along with the development of junior guard Mark Washington, Lewis doesn’t have to carry the load this winter for the Panthers. “I still have to be a leader on the team but it is not really a one-man thing any more, I have help this year,” said junior star Lewis. “It makes it easy because before teams used to box and now they have to worry about three other players instead of just one. It opens things up.” Last week, in a 76-36 win over visiting Pennington, PDS showed that balance as

Lewis scored 16 points with Washington tallying 18 and McArthur and Craig Wrenn chipping in 12 apiece. The Panthers jumped out to a 19-5 lead in the first quarter of the February 2 contest and closed the deal by outscoring the Red Raiders 41-15 in the second half. “We set the tone, we came out with a lot of energy,” said Lewis, reflecting on the victory. “We talked about it in the locker room how we had to come out and make a statement. We kept it going, we kept the energy up high during the second half.” With PDS having won eight of their last nine games and boasting an overall record of 13-6, Lewis sees the recent surge as a product of team unity. “It is just us coming together as a team, the chemistry off the court has been good and you can see it on the court,” asserted Lewis.

“We are finding the open guy on the court. I think it was like a gradual thing from the beginning of the season, we were a little rusty and now we are picking it up.” Lewis has picked up his game this season. “I improved a little on my jump shot and my passing,” added Lewis. In reflecting on the team’s success, Lewis also credits new head coach Tim Williams with making a positive impact. “He is more energetic, you can see his enthusiasm,” said Lewis of Williams, the PDS Director of Athletics who ser ved as the head boys’ hoops coach at the

Louisville Collegiate School for nine years before coming to New Jersey in 2011. PDS is enthusiastic about its prospects in the state Prep B tournament as it is seeded first and is slated to host No. 4 Wardlaw-Hartridge in the semis on February 14. “It is not taking our foot off the pedal and just going at every team,” said Lewis in describing the team’s mindset coming into the Prep tourney. “If we keep playing the way we have been playing, I think we will win it.” Even if the Panthers don’t win the crown, Lewis has enjoyed playing on a deeper squad. “It has been pretty fun,” said Lewis. “I haven’t been this far yet so it is an adventure.” —Bill Alden

Rick was born and raised in Princeton, and had many happy memories of growing up there. Rick was a man of many talents. He was a master craf tsman, woodworker, and carpenter. From a very early age he was fascinated by how things worked. He could fix anything and throughout his life he derived great pleasure from designing and building furniture and ‘gadgets’ to meet a specific function. Rick loved the outdoors and was a gifted athlete who enjoyed hiking, biking, rock- climbing, canoeing, kite-flying, and tennis. However, basketball was Rick’s favorite sport, and although he was only 5’9’’, he once famously took a certain expro ‘to school’ in a pickup game. He also had a passion for music and was a talented piano-player, who possessed a natural improvisational ability. While he appreciated a wide variety of musical genres, he had a special love of jazz, classical and funk. His love of animals, especially dogs, was a deep thread that ran through his life, and his exceptional ability to relate to them brought him much joy over the years. Rick was a kind, warm, humble, and generous man, with a perceptive mind and an easy way about him. He possessed a great sense of humor and lived his life with a deep sense of personal integrity. Rick was a wonderful friend, and an exceptional husband, brother, son, and uncle, as well as father to his beloved dogs. Rick lived with cancer for the last eight years of his life and was especially appreciative of the skilled and compassionate care he received at the FirstHealth Cancer Center in Pinehurst, N.C. His many walks at the Southern Pines Reservoir were a source of peace and serenity for him during this time. He is survived by his wife, Teresa Lynch, his beloved dog Roscoe ; his brother, Gregory Maynard Terry; his sister, Joyce Lynn Darling; his brother-in-law, Glen Earl Darling; his nephews, Matthew Maynard Darling and Andrew Lynn Darling; and many extended family members. He was predeceased by his parents Charles Maynard Terry and Bernis Arlene Terry, and his beloved dogs Oscar and Jesse. He will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be held at Mountain Lakes House in Princeton in the spring. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The International Myeloma Foundation (myeloma.org) or New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue (ns4ar.org).

INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE IS A VERY SMART MOVE The stock market is sometimes unpredictable but real estate is always a good investment.

DETERMINE YOUR PRICE BEFORE THE SPRING RUSH It may seem hard to believe, but spring is just around the corner, and that's when a lot of sellers decide to list their homes – and a lot of buyers are scouring the listings. Of course, when it comes to selling your home quickly, you need to make sure it's priced correctly – getting buyers' attention while still providing you with a healthy return. Pricing a home for sale is no easy task: You need to consider the size and style of your home, the neighborhood it's in, its amenities and features – even its drawbacks – and compare all those factors to similar homes in your neighborhood. Plus, you have to know who your most likely buyers are and what they're looking for. Not easy, especially when most sale data is a year old and you have little idea how the market will do this year. That's when a great agent can help. Agents have up-to-date info on all these factors and more, so they can help ensure your home is priced correctly. If you're considering a spring sale, start working with an agent now to make sure your home is priced right for your market.
