Police Promote Two, Swear In New Recruits, Emphasize Leadership

Topics of the Town . . . . 5

Further bolstering its leadership structure and strengthening the department for future challenges, the Princeton Police Department (PPD) last week promoted two officers and swore in eight new officers in a ceremony at the municipal building. Two longtime PPD veterans, Captain Christopher Morgan and Corporal James Martinez, received their promotions, as PPD Chief Nick Sutter cited their demonstration of the department’s professionalism and its values of knowledge, honor, integrity, and service. “Captain Morgan and Corporal Martinez are two of the shining examples in our department of the core values of the department,” Sutter said. “They are respected and seasoned leaders who lead our department in furtherance of the tenets of 21st-century policing. I am very proud and honored to have them as colleagues.” He further noted that Corporal Martinez replaced a corporal who retired and that the promotions make the structure one chief, one captain, and three lieutenants. Morgan, who joined the Princeton Township Police Department (PTPD) in 2000, after three years in the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, has received the Honorable Service Award and the Mercer County Volunteer of the Year Award from the Governor’s Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, as well as numerous other service awards. He served as patrol officer, corporal, lieutenant, and acting chief of the PTPD. Martinez, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, earning the National Defense Medal and the Good Conduct Medal before joining the Princeton Borough Police Department 25 years ago, has served as a senior officer for more than 17 years. He has received the Exceptional Duty Award, the Meritorious Service Award, and numerous other honors. The eight new police officers, six men and two women, who were sworn in last week bring to the PPD a wide range of backgrounds and experience, Sutter said. Officer Joseph Avanzato, a graduate of Rider University and the Mercer County Police Academy, received a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Rider and is currently working on a master’s degree.

PPS Successfully Sells Referendum Bonds Taking steps to finance the renovation and construction projects approved by Princeton voters in the December 11, 2018 referendum, the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) last month sold $26.9 million in Moody’s Aaa-rated bonds. The sale allowed PPS to access 20-year capital at a favorable interest rate of 2.99 percent, significantly lower than the rate forecast by the Board’s financial advisors in December, according to a PPS press release With cumulative financing costs for the bonds over the next 20 years more than $1 million lower than the original estimate, the BOE attributed the successful sale to favorable market conditions and the district’s Aaa credit rating. The bonds were sold by competitive sale, similar to an auction, and there were seven different bidders. “This is the first, successful step of a two-year process to implement necessary facility renovations and upgrades that will improve learning spaces for our current and future students,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane in the press release. “With assistance from our professional advisors, stakeholders, and community experts, we look forward to completing these important projects thoughtfully, skillfully, and transparently.”

School officials have noted that these funds will address the district’s most immediate and urgent needs, including safety, security, and HVAC upgrades in all the schools, as well as the creation of four additional classrooms at Princeton High School along with a new dining center on the main floor, increased space for athletics, and improved space for student counseling. “The Board of Education is grateful to the community for approving the $26.9

million referendum, after months of engagement and constructive dialogue,” said BOE President Beth Behrend, “and for its willingness to invest in the future of our public schools.” In the PPS press release she went on to thank Cochrane, his staff, and previous board members for the time and energy they devoted to this effort. The estimated impact on property taxes of the new bonds was originally approximately $57 additional in the first year, Continued on Page 8

Princeton’s First Restaurant Week Is Not Limited to Priciest Eateries In cities across the globe, an annual tradition known as Restaurant Week allows diners to sample the fare at establishments they might otherwise be unable to afford. But in Princeton, where the first Restaurant Week will be launched March 10 to 17, just about every eatery is participating. That means that foodies will be able to partake of special menus at restaurants ranging from PJ’s Pancake House and Princeton Soup & Sandwich to Eno Terra and The Peacock Inn. While many es-

tablishments will be offering fixed-priced menus of $20 for lunch and $35 for dinner, some of the lower-priced restaurants will be inviting diners in with other types of incentives. “We really wanted to open it up to everybody,” said Michelle Pirone Lambros, whose company, Princeton Promotions, is marketing the event. “Whatever the smaller restaurants want to do is fine. We’re leaving it open to them. But we definitely wanted to include them. So not every restaurant has the $20 lunch and $35 menu.” Continued on Page 11

WASSAILING THE APPLE TREES: Dancing, singing, and hot cider toasts were just some of the activities at Saturday’s Wassail Festival at Terhune Orchards. The longtime British tradition of honoring the apple trees to protect them from harm is an annual winter celebration at the farm. Live music, homemade donuts, and a bonfire with marshmallow roasting were also featured. Participants share their favorite winter activities in this week’s Town Talk on page 6. (Photo by Charles R.

PPPL S atur day S cie nce Talk s Have L oy al Fans of All Ag e s At the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s (PPPL) Ronald E. Hatcher Science on Saturdays Lecture Ser ies, aud ience members might be as young as 9 and as old as 90. The popular talks on a range of scientific subjects have been attract-

ing people curious about all aspects of science for more than three decades. “The fact that we average nearly 300 a lecture is a testament to the community,” said Andrew Zwicker, who heads PPPL’s communications and public outreach (and is also a Democratic assemblyman for the 16th district). “Last year a gentleman celebrated his 90th birthday at one of the lectures. And we have a physician who gave a lecture a week and a half ago on the science of joint replacement (Dr. Christina Gutowski of Cooper University Healthcare), who went to Science on Saturday when she was a little girl.”

“Planetary Science at the Coldest Place on Ear th : The Antarctic Search for Meteorites.” On February 16, PPPL physicist Fatima Ebrahimi w ill speak on “Magnetic Explosions: From Space Plasmas to Fusion Energy.” Later topics are “Managing Coastal Risk in an Age of Sea-level Rise” by Rutgers Professor Robert Kopp on March 2; “Tracking Water Around the Globe — in the Atmosphere — Surface and Subsurface” by University of Illinois Associate Professor Francina Dominguez on March 9; and “How Deep are Plant Roots?

PPPL is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory managed by Pr inceton Universit y. The lecture series was started 34 years ago by PPPL physicists. “They wanted to have representatives from all branches of science, who are at the cutting-edge of research, present their results to the interested public,” said Zwicker. “They started with just a couple of lectures, and now there are nine every year, on Saturday mornings. They are very popular.” The program is named for Hatcher, an engineer who hosted the lectures in the past and died in 2014. It is funded by the DOE’s Office of Science. All talks are free. Making complicated scientific issues understandable to those unfamiliar with complex concepts doesn’t seem to be a problem. “It’s an interesting challenge to present your results to s u ch a w ide au d ie n ce,” said Zwicker. “Because we have everyone from retired scientists to interested kids to members of the general public. There are sections of lectures, very short, that are very technical. But this is not like giving a colloquium at a university to your peers.” The next lecture is this Saturday, February 9, when Rutgers University Professor Juliane Gross tackles

a Guess” by Rutgers Professor Ying Reinfelder on March 16. “There is an image that science is for nerds, or is so complicated,” said Zwicker, who is a physicist. “But we live in a time when science and advances are about things that are so relatable — like should we fund the next cure for cancer, or are vaccines good or bad, or where does the universe come from. These lectures give the general public an opportunity to hear from scientists themselves, which is critical because we are inundated with information. I think it’s an incredible way to break down that wall and remove the hesitation. I love it.” Ta l k s, wh ich b e g i n at 9:30 a.m., are held in the Ly man Spitzer Building, 100 Stellarator Road.

The Institute for Advanced Study launched its new “History of Science” lecture series on Tuesday, February 5. Lectures are free and open to the public and begin at 5 p.m. in West Building Lecture Hall. Curated by Myles W. Jackson, professor in the School of Historical Studies, this series will tackle scientific themes relevant to the Institute, including the diversity of humankind, Big Data, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, and the sociology of science and medicine. “This lecture ser ies is meant to show how the history of science can serve as a bridge between numerous topics of research pursued at the Institute,” said Jackson. “I hope the series will spark numerous conversations between the schools.” The opening lecture for the series was delivered by Har vard University’s So phia Roosth, whose recent travels to Oman provide new insights into the Ediacaran Period, which began 635 million years ago and spanned 94 million years. Roosth also discussed how geologists and geobiologists are rethinking the subdivision of Earth’s history and consider how ef for ts to carve up the geologic record echo problems of periodization that plague historians. On February 26, Stephanie Dick of the University of Pennsylvania speaks on “Af ter Math : Reasoning, Proving, and Computing in the Postwar United States.” Next on March 5, Yulia Frumer of Johns Hopkins University speaks on “Robocon Is Zazen: Psychology and Buddhism in Mori Masahiro’s Robotics.” On April 2, the topic is “Race by Numbers: Statistics and Race in Inter-War British India,” delivered by Projit Bihari Mukharji of the University of Pennsylvania. On April 16, the series concludes with “The Restless Machinery of Life,” by Jessica Riskin of Stanford University. To register, visit w w w. ias.edu/events/historyofscience-roosth.

Becket: “I like to take pictures and videos. I also like to fly my drone. Right now, I am sanding up my lemonade stand to get it ready for the season.” Jackson: “I love to play basketball and play wing for the Lawrence rec team.” —Becket Mount Washburn with Jackson Siano, both of Lawrence

Kate: “We did some snowshoeing while in Quebec and really loved it. That’s my favorite winter activity.” Steven: “Dogsledding. We just got back from staying in the Ice Hotel in Quebec and really enjoyed dogsledding there. Hoping to do it every year.” —Kate Stott Bittle and Steven Bittle, Hamilton

Lynda: “Coming to the Wassailing at Terhune for the apple trees. I’ve been coming as long as Handsome Molly has been doing it, which might be around 20 years now.” Annette: “I’m going to say the same thing. This is my favorite winter activity. I come with the Kingessing Morris team and I think they’ve been coming to Terhune for roughly the last five years. This is a great event.” —Lynda Lee, Princeton with Annette Petrick, Elkins Park, Pa.

Referendum Bonds continued from page one

2020, for an average home assessed at $837,074. Subsequent year estimated additional costs would be about $61 in 2021, about $106 in 2022, and then sizable reductions in 2023 and beyond, after debt from a previous bond has been retired. Proceeds from the bond sales, according to the PPS press release, have been temporarily deposited in an interest-bearing money market account at the Bank of Princeton. The proceeds will be invested in CDs, Treasury bills, or other short-term instruments until the BOE selects an investment management firm at its February 26 meeting. These investments will serve as the operating account for the referendum projects, with

disbursements made as needed for project-related expenses. Interest earnings will be used to offset debt service payments for the bonds to the extent possible. All accounts and investment instruments into which these funds are deposited will be insured through the State of New Jersey Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act, which protects deposits of counties, municipalities, and local school districts deposited into a Joint Investment Trust authorized by the State of New Jersey Interlocal Services Act, and/ or used to purchase allowable U.S. Treasury or U.S. Agency securities held in the District’s name, according to the PPS press release. The facilities committee of the BOE, preparing to make a recommendation to the full Board, has been interviewing

prospective construction management firms to oversee the renovation and construction projects, which, Behrend said, will be underway at the schools this summer. The BOE will work with that construction manager in planning, lining up contractors, and soliciting bids for the many different projects at the schools. —Donald Gilpin

Wishnick to be Honored At Benefit for SHUPP

Ross Wishnick, founder of Send Hunger Packing Princeton (SHUPP) and chair of Princeton’s Human Services Commission, will be honored Thursday, February 28 at a fundraiser to benefit SHUPP. The event, featuring wine, beer, and hors d’oeuvres, will be held at the Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place. SHUPP seeks to reduce food

on t e c n i r P of rt a He

insecurity in the community so that children can thrive in their classrooms and beyond. Almost 14 percent of the students in Princeton Public Schools, equating to two kids in each classroom, are eligible for free and reduced-price lunches from the federal government. While such programs provide food for them during the week, there is no support available on the weekends and holidays. Eligibility for the “free and reduced” program doesn’t guarantee one is food insecure, but it is a major indicator. Additionally, there are kids who may not qualify for this program who may still from time to time be food insecure. SHUPP was formed to make sure children have been properly fed and are ready to learn when they arrive at school on Monday mornings. For ticket information, visit www.shupprinceton.org.

P r i n c e to n C o u n c i l m a n Tim Quinn has announced his campaign priorities and his re-election committee in his bid for a second term on Princeton Council. He will face a slate of fellow Democrats in the June primary, which will be followed by the general election in November.

Tim Quinn Two Council seats are open with both Quinn’s and Jenny Crumiller’s terms ending, and Crumiller having announced that she will not run for another term. Other Democrats in the race so far include Michele Pirone Lambros and Adam Bierman, who announced their candidacies last month. The Princeton Community Democratic Organization ( PCDO ) will endorse two candidates at its meeting on March 17. On Sunday, February 10 at 3 p.m., the PCDO is holding a Princeton Council Candidate open house information session for Democrats interested in running for Council or getting involved in

helping candidates get elected. Princeton Republican Committee Chair Dudley Sipprelle reported that there are no declared Republican candidates yet, but there are a couple of prospects in the “exploratory” stage. “I hope to continue the work I’ve begun on Council,” Quinn said in a press release. “We’ve held the line on municipal spending while retaining and improving the services our community has come to rely upon. We’ve made progress on equity, clarifying and strengthening the role of our volunteer Civil Rights Commission. We passed the most significant zoning changes in memory in an effort to preserve our neighborhoods. We’ve made successful overtures to our public schools to explore possible cost savings and service efficiencies.” Quinn, who is the new Princeton Fire Commissioner and serves on the Economic Development, Finance, Public Safety, Public Works, and Legal committees, said he wanted to continue his work on affordability, equity, and sustainability. He has served on the Princeton Planning Board since 2014. He stated that his input on the Princeton Neighborhood Character Initiative led to significant zoning law changes designed to protect neighborhoods from the proliferation of out-of-scale construction. As Council’s liaison to the Princeton Public Schools, Quinn will lead a joint study

grew up in Princeton and others who moved here for educational and career opportunities. We have members in their 20s who are new to local campaigns and others who are seasoned veterans.” Prior to being elected to Council in 2016, Quinn served

of potential shared services between the town and the schools. He also served as Council liaison to the Civil Rights Commission, the Environmental Commission, the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee, and the Bike Advisory Committee. In an addendum to his press release, Quinn emphasized that he would be limiting his contributions to $300 per person and $500 per couple, “and I’m not taking any contributions from businesses. Last time I ran in the primary, I was not among the top fundraisers and I won. I think local campaigns should be about ideas, not money.” Quinn’s re-election team will be led by former Princeton Councilman Lance Liverman and former Princeton Board of Education (BOE) President Andrea Spalla, with Helen Heintz as treasurer and other members including Molly Chrein, Nick DiDomizio, Amner Deleon, Heather Howard, Amy Mayer, Bert Navarrete, Julie Ramirez, Tomaz Rodrigues, Afsheen Shamsi, Fern and Larry Spruill, and Ross Wishnik. “I b e l i e ve P r i n c e ton’s strength lies in its diversity, and I’m so pleased to be collaborating with a great team that reflects that diversity,” Quinn said. Praising his all-volunteer team and its commitment to improving the quality of life for everyone in Princeton, Quinn added, “Our team has a wide range of professional and community service work-T:10” ers and includes people who

for nearly seven years on the BOE, including two years and eight months as president. He led the search that resulted in the hiring of Steve Cochrane as superintendent of schools. Quinn, the marketing and communications director of Princeton Public Library,

moved to Princeton in 1990 and has lived on Wilton Street since 1994 with his wife Mary Chemris, who teaches math at Montgomery Upper Middle School. Their son George, a composer, lives and works in Princeton. —Donald Gilpin

Lambros, who recently announced her candidacy for Princeton Council, said the goal is to generate interest in the entire local gastronomic scene. “This is traditionally a slow time for restaurants, so it’s the perfect time,” she said. Restaurant Week dates from 1992, when Tim Zagat of the Zagat Survey and Manhattan restauranteur Joe Baum dreamed up the concept. The two had no idea their idea would morph into a national and international institution. New York City’s Restaurant Week has been such a success that it has expanded into a fourweek event. “T he or iginal four- day event was created as a goodwill gesture to the 15,000 reporters coming to cover that year’s Democratic National Convention,” Zagat wrote in The Atlantic magazine in 2011. “Frankly, we thought it would be a shortterm money loser but have long-term PR benefit for New York and the restaurant industry. Now, almost 20 years later, restaurant weeks have become a tradition in city after city because they appeal to both customers and restaurants. In short: they are a win-win.” Pr inceton’s Restaurant Week is presented by the Princeton Merchants Association and MacLean Agency. Sponsors include the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, WPST, Princeton University’s Office of Community and Regional Affairs, the Yankee Doodle

Tap Room at the Nassau Inn, JM Group, and Witherspoon Media Group. As of this week, participating restaurants are: Agricola, Alchemist & Barrister, Blue Point Grill, Cargot Brasserie, The Dinky Bar & Kitchen, Eno Terra, Fenwick Catering, Jammin’ Crepes, Local Greek, Mezzaluna, Mistral, Nassau Street Seafood, The Peacock Inn, PJ’s

Pancake House, Princeton Soup & Sandwich, Teresa Caffe, Trattoria Procaccino, Witherspoon Grill, and The Yankee Doodle Tap Room. “Restaurant Week is now held in a lot of cities, even as close as New Brunswick, Hopewell, and Lawrenceville,” said Lambros. “It’s about time Princeton had one.” —Anne Levin

Re c ove r ing f r om a Str o ke Wa s Ultimately Uplif ting

Diane Barnes was horseback riding one evening near her home in San Rafael, California, when the worst headache she had ever experienced hit her like a thunderbolt. This fit, healthy woman in her mid-50s, with no family history of stroke, was having one. Barnes is a radiologist. She knew what was happening. But she waited 20 hours, even driving her son to camp, before finally driving herself to the hospital. She was lucky, because the damage wasn’t as devastating as it could have been. She spent a week in the neurological intensive care unit before being discharged and beginning the long road to recovery. It is that arduous process that Barnes recounts in My

Stroke of Luck, a one-woman show that she will bring the Princeton Senior Resource Center on Saturday, March 9. Tickets are $30. The show recounts the effects of the stroke on Barnes’ own health, on her two sons (she is a single mother), and on how she wanted to live the rest of her life. “I was minding my own business, just liv ing my life. I had no risk factors. I’m a size four. I exercise. But there it was,” she said during a telephone conversation. “The horse I was riding must have sensed something, because all of a sudden he wasn’t listening to me. So I got off, and that’s when it hit me.” Over the course of her career as a radiologist, Barnes, who trained at Yale Univer-

sity, had seen her share of brain X-rays showing that a stroke had occurred. Hers, which left her with some motor weakness, was “smallish in my dominant left,” she said. “It didn’t hit the motor strip, which is good. The effect totally depends on where it hits.” She calls her decision to wait 20 hours “terribly stupid.” The show is “a cautionary tale, with a lot of good lessons,” she said. “Number one, don’t do what I did. Number two, there is almost nothing that you can’t turn into a positive or find a silver lining in. I’m an intellectual, yet I am so much happier living in my ‘new brain.’ Any number of things are gone, and yet my life now is so much richer.” I t w a s a y e a r b e for e

SILVER LINING: In “My Stroke of Luck,” doctor-turned-actor Diane Barnes details how having a stroke ended up enriching her life. The one-woman show is Saturday, March 9 at 5 p.m. at Princeton Senior Resource Center.

Barnes could return to work, on a part-time basis. A few years later, she accepted a retirement package in order to spend more time with her children. She enrolled in some continuing education courses at Stanford University, including one on improvisation. “It was the opposite of science,” she said. “It was so completely new to me, but I liked it right away.” The classes were immediately illuminating. Before long, Barnes was asked to be in a play. She wrote a monologue about the experience of adopting her children. She began to interact in a way she never had before. “As a radiologist, I was in life-and-death situations with many people, where I called their doctors and then their doctors talked to them,” she said. “I had never had that direct impact on people that I was beginning to see. For me to have such an immediate impact on people’s lives was a very new exper ience. A nd to have it come from sharing my own experience was just incredible.” Out of all of this came My Stroke of Luck, which Barnes debuted in November 2017. The show ran for five months in San Francisco, and will play again, in Berkeley, for five weeks. Barnes described the show as serious, but not without humor. “I inhabit all the characters,” she said. “Somebody described it to me by saying they felt they were sitting across from me at my kitchen table. I start with some of my expectations and how I built my family. Then I go to the [stroke] event, and you

walk through, with me, my discovery of my impairment and the effects it had on my kids. Then I go through my recovery.” The play is serious, but ultimately upbeat. “It’s a story of reinvention. It’s a love story to my older son in some way, because he was home with me during the whole thing,” Barnes said. “My younger son was in boarding school.” Barnes finds new things in the show at every performance. “It changes. It gets richer,” she said. In a later email, she added, “What I

most want the audience to take home is the visceral sense that even the worst imaginable event may hold hidden gifts. My life is so much better and richer now, in ways unimaginable, all because of the stroke. You remember that joke about the parents who give their child a heap of horse manure instead of a pony? The child, an u nabashe d opt im is t, starts shoveling. ‘With this much manure, there must be a pony somewhere!’ My stroke did that for me.” —Anne Levin

DVD REVIEW

Going All the Way: Mick Jagger and the Madness of “Performance” The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness. —Mick Jagger in Performance sked if the line spoken by Turner, the character he plays in Donald Cammell and Nick Roeg’s enduringly outrageous film, could serve as a motto for performing live with the Rolling Stones (“When the Sixties Went Dark,” TLS Dec. 21&28), Jagger admitted “there’s something in it — its more interesting performing on the edge than going through the motions.” This being Oscar month, I’ve been thinking about performers and performing and how when Warner Bros bankrolled a film called Performance in 1968, studio executives thought they’d scored another Hard’s Day’s Night. The Rolling Stones might be lowlifes, the dark side of the Beatles, but they were the second biggest rock group on the planet, and with Mick Jagger starring, there was sure to be a best-selling soundtrack album. Money in the bank! What Warners got instead was Swinging London in hell, the Citizen Kane of decadence, unremitting cinematic anarchy swarming with sex and drugs, and not a word from Mick Jagger for the first hour, just a heavy dose of London underworld mayhem featuring James Fox as a ruthless enforcer on the run after killing someone against the mob boss’s orders. By the time Jagger entered, he was swallowed up in the chaos described in Jay Glennie’s Performance: The Making of a Classic as “a heady cocktail of hallucinogenic mushrooms, sex (homosexual and three-way), violence, amalgamated identities, and artistic references to Jorge Luis Borges, Magritte, and Francis Bacon.” According to legend, the wife of a Warners executive vomited during a test screening; the studio seriously considered destroying the negative; and at a sneak preview, most of the audience walked out. Shelved for two years, the film was savaged by reviewers when it was finally released in 1970. If there had been an Academy Awards category based on the reviews, Performance would have copped the Oscar for the most pretentious, repellent, disgusting, fundamentally rotten, and completely worthless motion picture of 1970. “Gimme Shelter” Half a century ago Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones were reimagining the grim dynamics of the time in songs like “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Midnight Rambler,” and “Gimme Shelter,” with its hair-raising, passionately sung chorus “Rape, murder, it’s just a shot away.” And thanks mainly to “Street Fighting Man,” Jagger was being patronized by the New Left as politically relevant and fully committed to the revolution when the one and only thing he was “fully committed” to was performing, and as critic Richard Poirier puts it in his breakthrough book The Performing Self (1970), “performance partakes of brutality.” What happened during the making of

Performance resonates with the brutal downward spiral of Brian Jones, the Stones’ most explosive member, who died a year later under suspicious circumstances. In Up and Down with the Rolling Stones (1979), photographer Tony Sanchez describes Marianne Faithfull coaching Jagger on how to play Turner: “You’ve got to imagine you’re Brian: poor, freaked-out, deluded, androgynous, druggie Brian. But you also need just a bit of Keith [Richards] in it: his tough, self-destructive, beautiful lawlessness. You must become a mixture of the way Brian and Keith will be when the Stones are over and they are alone in their fabulous houses with all the money in the world and nothing to spend it on.” In fact, Performance takes place in the fabulous disorder of Turner’s domain, the basement of a Notting Hill Gate mansion, a piece of performance art in itself, where the retired rock star spends his time basking in a bed and bath ménage à trois with Anita Pallenburg and Michéle Breton. This is the “freak show” James F o x ’s k i l l e r- o n the-run Chas finds when he comes looking for shelter. Because both directors reportedly urged members of the cast to take drugs and have sex, nothing but the real thing, both Jagger and Fox were drained, according to Sanchez, “for they were being forced to question the very roots of their beings. James, particularly, was becoming as dangerously disoriented off screen as he was on. And Jagger, too, seemed to have become Brian; he was beginning to crack up and lose his identity. The two would smoke DMT together in their dressing room so that they could add realism to the drug scenes. But the drug has the hydrogen bomb impact of a twelve-hour acid trip crammed into the space of fifteen minutes and served to only alienate them further from the real world.” A Cockney Rhapsody One of the saving graces of Performance

is in the language and atmosphere, a heady amalgam of Dickens and Pinter, with intimations of Borges, Andy Warhol, William S. Burroughs, and Hassan i Sabah. Instead of singing, Mick reads aloud from Borges’s “The South,” quotes Burroughs without naming him (“Nothing is true — everything is permitted”), and reads a long passage relevant to the situation concerning Hassan and the “young men whom he had chosen to be his Hashishi, his assassins, to be given a potion which cast them into a deep sleep, and to be carried into the garden, so that when they awoke, they believed they were in Paradise. And there were damsels and young girls there, who dallied with them to their hearts’ content.” In between prolonged feats of graphic violence, most of which are performed and suffered by Fox’s suave sadist Chas, the voices of the London underworld sing a veritable Cockney rhapsody led by gang boss Harry Flowers, played with gusto by Johnny Shannon, who had real-life mob connections. The flummoxed execs at Warners actually dubbed over the accents, afraid that an American audience wouldn’t understand. According to Donald Cammell, “One thing we hadn’t anticipated was the language problem. In the gangster scenes, the southLondon patois was spot on but a bit specialised even for other parts of London, let alone America. The studio people would sit at the screenings with strained expressions as though this was a Japanese movie with Czech subtitles.” One thing you can say for Harry and his lads is that they clearly enunciate every Soho-salty syllable, in contrast to the night world language of the stoned out Notting Hill Gate underground where everyone speaks and moves as if in a dream. In fact, the gangsters are the real performers. Jagger and the others, and even eventually Fox, are like existential moving parts in

a visual phantasmagoria based on Cammell’s stranger-in-a-strange-land concept and Roeg’s visual style of impressionistically fragmented cross-cutting, a cinematic variation on Burroughs’s literary cut-up technique similar to what he calls “disease on the image track” in The Ticket That Exploded. Mick’s Memo When Jagger finally does perform a song, he does it with savage sneering authority in a directorial fantasy wherein Turner’s rock star gone underground turns the tables on the gangsters of the first hour, stripping and unmanning them, the Soho heavies reduced to naked comic relief on a level with the slapstick gang lusting for Ringo’s ring in Richard Lester’s Help. Now Mick’s the man behind the desk with slicked-back hair and a suit and tie (“You gentlemen, why, you all work for me”) as he sneers and snarls his way through “Memo from Turner,” spewing lines laced with bits of Burroughs: “You’re the man who squats behind the man who works the soft machine” and “I remember you in Hemlock Road in 1956, you’re a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick.” What makes the song and flavors the whole film, along with the anarchic spirit of Burroughs, is the playing of the other American on the scene, Ry Cooder, whose rich, crystalline, gorgeously gritty slide guitar is as crucial to the ambiance of Performance as it will be a decade later in a far greater film, Wim Wenders’s Paris, Texas. Oscar Night Fantasy I keep having this fantasy of an Oscar night telecast where Fox and Jagger show up to accept the award for most pretentious, repellent, disgusting, fundamentally rotten, and completely worthless motion picture of 1970. The stars are there in place of Cammell and Roeg, who have wisely avoided the festivities due to not entirely playful threats of tarring and feathering. Best case scenario, the Oscar would be presented by the Warner exec’s wife who famously vomited, all smiles now that Performance is already on the way to cult status as everyone’s favorite Midnight Movie. Jagger and Fox are engaged in the usual banter, both in character. At one point Jagger puts on a rubber mask and becomes Chas as Fox becomes Turner, playing out the identity dynamic of a film where the utimate achievement of the madness of performance is the film itself, which finally makes it, really makes it, by going all the way. Endgames ames Fox (born 1939) and Mick Jagger (born 1943) are still performing, Fox in the series London Spy and as Lord Aysgarth in Downton Abbey, and Sir Mick with the Stones on the No Filter Tour, which is scheduled for Met Life Stadium June 13 and June 17. Nick Roeg (1928-2018) died last November at 90, and Donald Cammell (1934-1996) committed suicide in April 1996. —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Celebrates 10 Years of Leadership by Rossen Milanov

rinceton Symphony Orchestra celebrated its 10-year relationship with Music Director Rossen Milanov this past weekend, with concerts paying tribute to the musical leadership which resulted from Milanov’s first concert with the Orchestra. Saturday night’s performance at Richardson Auditorium (the concert was repeated Sunday afternoon) featured Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 — the work which Milanov conducted in his debut with Princeton Symphony — as well as a Brahms piano concerto within the classical framework. Johannes Brahms’ 1858 Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor reflected the composer’s homage to Robert Schumann, who served as a mentor to Brahms, and was originally intended as a sonata for two pianists — Brahms and Schumann’s wife Clara. Featured in this weekend’s performances by the Princeton Symphony was pianist Dominic Cheli, who received his training both at Yale University and Manhattan School of Music and is currently pursuing an artist diploma at the Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles. L i ke B e e t hove n’s Symphony No. 5 wh ich followed in t he prog ram, Brahms’ Concerto stated the music ferocity from the outset, with an extended orchestral introduction to the piano solo marked by both subdued strings and effective dynamic swells from timpanist Jeremy Levine. In his opening piano solo line, Cheli emerged from the orchestral texture seamlessly with thoughtful and sensitive playing, positioning the piano as a fellow instrument in the orchestra, rather than set off with its own part. Cheli often exhibited a particularly light left hand, adding elegance to the music as he leaned into the phrases. These airy passages were contrasted with fierce and exacting octaves and fluid arpeggios, in a clean and precise dialogue between soloist and Orchestra. Cheli took complete control in the third movement rondo, finding delicacy in the piano line while demonstrating incredible strength of hand in extended trills. Milanov maintained the musical drama through Brahms’ trade-

mark fugue to the final measures, well conveying the composer’s struggle with creating this work. Beethoven’s 1808 Symphony No. 5 in C minor is one of the most well-known works in classical symphonic repertory — certainly with the most familiar four-note motive in all of music. Surely in the preInstagram early 19th century, Beethoven had no idea this work would be considered a model of symphonic composition and its opening four notes so iconic, but throughout music history, this symphony has spoken to and united listeners worldwide. Beethoven once referred to the opening motive of Symphony No. 5 as “fate knocking at the door,” a quote which has since taken on legendary proportions. It would be easy for an orchestra to let this theme become a cliché in the music, but Milanov used these four notes as a device to propel the Beethoven’s artistic vision forward. Throughout the first movement, Milanov kept the tempo moving and built intensity well, as instrumental sections answered one another with thematic material. An almost ad lib oboe solo by Lillian Copeland added elegance to the dramatic intensity. n the second movement, Milanov took a broad approach to each repetition of the motivic material, while a quartet of wind solos by oboist Copeland, clarinetist Pascal Archer, flutist Yevgeny Faniuk, and bassoonist Oleksiy Zakharov contrasted well with unified lower string passages. Milanov continued to add drama to the performance through the third movement scherzo, with a very clean transition to the subsequent section, with particularly effective dynamic contrasts in the lower strings. Almost spooky passages with extended pizzicati for the strings led to a rousing final allegro, as Milanov brought out joy and exuberance in the music.

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Receives $1.75M Donation

Princeton Symphony Orchestra ( PSO ) has been named as the recipient of a $1.75 million grant from The Edward T. Cone Foundation. In recognition of this and the Foundation’s prior gifts to the PSO’s endowment, the orchestra’s two most prestigious positions are named in perpetuity. Rossen Milanov is now the inaugural Edward T. Cone Music Director and violinist Basia Danilow now holds the George W. Pitcher Concertmaster Chair. Cone Foundation Trustee T. Randolph Harris said, “Ed Cone and George Pitcher were devoted supporters of the PSO, and I can think of no more appropr iate and exciting way to honor their memory than to endow these two positions.” Gratified by the Foundation’s gift, Milanov said, “I feel inspired and incredibly honored to be the recipient of this extraordinarily generous expression of recognition for the Princeton Symphony Orchestra and for the difference we make in the lives of so many people.” Cone was a composer, pianist, author, and teacher. He was a professor of music at Princeton University, and he produced several scholarly books, many of them classics in their field. His compositions include works for solo piano, chamber music, a symphony

Cone earned a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University in 1939 where he studied under Roger Sessions and a master of fine arts degree from the University in 1942. The Edward T. Cone Foundation was founded in 1992 and has continued following Cone’s death in 2004. Pitcher was a pianist and professor of philosophy at Princeton University until his 1981 retirement and the author of multiple books including The Dogs Who Came to Stay, a memoir of two of the special canines he and his life partner Edward T. Cone had in their lives. He and Cone shared a love of classical music, opera, art, and travel. Pitcher served as a trustee of the Edward T. Cone Foundation from 1992 until his death in January 2018. The Edward T. Cone Foundation is a major benefactor of numerous cultural and educational instit utions, including Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, the D & R Greenway, and The Princeton Festival.

The 38th annual tour of the Black Maria Film Festival will premiere at Princeton University with a screening of five diverse, award-winning, short films before launching its international tour, February 9 at 7:30 p.m., at the James Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau Street. Admission is free. The screening is presented by the Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium and Program in Visual Arts of the Lewis Center for the Arts. Filmmakers Lynn Tomlinson and Kelly Gallagher will be present to discuss their work and participate in an audience Q&A with Festival Director Jane Steuerwald. “We’ve hosted the Black Maria Film Festival numerous times over the years, and it’s always been met with a really enthusiastic response from the students and community audiences,” said Su Friedrich, filmmaker and professor of visual arts in the Lewis Center. “The range of films is wonderful and surprising and, as someone who teaches and sees a lot of films, I’m introduced each time to fantastic works by new makers who I didn’t know about before

and whose work I then begin to follow.” The five top-prize films being screened at the Princeton premiere include: Henrietta Bulkowski, an animated film by Los Angeles filmmaker Rachel Johnson, the story of a determined young woman, challenged by a severe hunchback, who will stop at nothing to fulfill her dream of seeing the world and finding happiness; Ulises (Ulysses), a narrative film by Jorge Malpica of Catalonia, Mexico, in which Ulysses orders his men to tie him to his ship's mast, thus preventing him from surrendering to the enchanting mermaid's call, which devoured the unwary men seduced by it. Also: Voice, a narrative film by Takeshi Kushida of Tokyo, that tells the story of a lonely man who becomes fascinated with a shadow that appears on the wall of his apartment; My Gossip, a film incorporating live-action, stop-motion and digital animation by Kelly Gallagher of Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, is a personal documentary colorfully exploring the radical importance of women's close friendships in which the filmmaker, who will attend the screening, examines her relationship with her own best friend, and how women's friendships were historically weaponized against them; and The Elephant’s Song, an animated film by Lynn Tomlinson of Owings Mills, Maryland, that tells the true and tragic tale of Old Bet, the first circus elephant in America, as recounted in song by her friend, an old farm dog, and portrayed in colorful, handcrafted animation.

NJSO Seeks Applicants For Composition Institute

The 2019 NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute, a multifaceted program that promotes new music and emerging composers, is accepting applications through February 11. The Institute will select four composers to hear their music performed by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and participate in in-depth sessions with industry leaders, July 15–20 on the Princeton University campus. The Institute is open to university composition students or composers in the early stages of their profes-

sional careers. The application form, eligibility requirements, and Institute details are available at njsymphony.org/institute. The NJSO will perform the participants’ works on July 20 at 8 p.m. at the Richardson Auditorium in Princeton. By the conclusion of the Institute’s immersive laboratory experience, participants will have gained invaluable musical and practical feedback about writing for orchestra and how to get their music published and performed. Composers will hear their works in rehearsal and performance, par ticipate in master classes with Institute Director Steven Mackey and receive feedback from NJSO musicians and guest conductor Cristian Macelaru. The Institute will also provide career-development opportunities with industry leaders. “The Cone Institute is really unique,” Mackey said. “It provides a lot of time for the students to work with the orchestra. I think what separates the Cone Institute from many of its peer opportunities is its holistic vision of the composer and [the way we help] composers build their careers so their music is heard. There are sessions with industry leaders, publishers and radio stations [about practical topics] that will be important for a composer’s career.” The Institute is tuitionfree; housing on the campus of Princeton University and on-campus meals will be provided. The NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute grew out of reading sessions the Orchestra has held with Princeton University graduate students biennially for more than a decade. The Institute celebrates its namesake Cone’s legacy as both a composer and a Princeton University professor.

Pianist Connie Shih joins Isserlis, one of only two living cellists in the Gramophone Hall of Fame, in a program entitled “Composers & Their Music.” The program juxtaposes works by female composers with those of the men they inspired: Clara Schumann and Robert Schumann, Vítezslava Kaprálová and Bohuslav Martinu, and Augusta Holmès and César Franck. A preconcert talk will be given at 7 p.m. by Ruth Ochs. Isserlis works as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, author, and broadcaster. He appears with such orchestras and conductors as the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Zurich Tonhalle, and Los Angeles Philharmonic, and gives recitals every season in major musical centers. As a chamber musician, he has curated concert series for many prestigious venues, including London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s 92nd St Y, and the Salzburg Festival. Unusually, he also directs chamber orchestras from the cello in classical programs. Since 1997, Isserlis has been artistic director of the International Musicians Seminar at Prussia Cove, Cornwall. He also enjoys playing for children, and has created three musical stories, with the composer Anne Dudley.

Jun Zhan Watercolors at Plainsboro Library Gallery

Jun Zhan paints portraits, still life, and cityscapes in a photo-realistic style.

The Plainsboro Library exhibit will focus on the Forbidden City and portrait collections. Jun Zhan has had a long career in the arts. At the age of 24, he became a member of The China Artists Association, and his works have often been included in the prestigious China National Art Museum.

Co-owners (and cousins) John Roberto and Andrew Mangone actually grew up in the store. Roberto’s father, the late Bert Roberto, purchased Hinkson’s in 1960 from then owner Harold M. Hinkson. A much smaller operation in those days, the shop offered newspapers, greeting cards, and a small selection of writing supplies. As time passed, the merchandise greatly expanded, and the store became an essential resource in town. It has a long and storied history in Princeton, and is now about to mark its 100th anniversary under the Hinkson’s name. Mid-19th Century Its history extends back even further, however, and it is thought to date to the mid19th century, notes Andrew Mangone. Around 1900, it was known as Rowland’s Stationery, he adds. Always located on Nassau Street, at one time it was housed in the historic Upper

Pyne Building, which was later demolished to make way for the establishments on One Palmer Square. Although it always focused on stationer y and paper products, at one point in its history, according to The Princeton Recollector, the store also sold baseball bats. While it was still known as Rowland’s Stationery, one of the clerks, William O. Sinclair, purchased the store, giv ing it his name, T he Recollector also reports. Sinclair’s clerk, Harold M. Hinkson, later bought the store in 1919, upon his return from serving in World War I, and he changed the name to Hinkson’s. Mom’s Lap I n 19 6 0, t h e s t o r e changed hands again, when it was purchased by Bert Roberto, and it was ultimately relocated to 82 Nassau Street, where it remained for many years. It flourished as a stationery store, offering all the needs from pens and pencils to all paper products and more. Greeting cards, notebooks, writing paper, planners and journals, school and office supplies, clipboards, and calculators were all popular items in the store. Both Roberto and Mangone grew up in the store, and helped out after school, on weekends, and in the summer. “I used to sit on my mom’s lap as she would ring up people at the register when I was real young,” recalls Rober to.

“Then when I was 8 or 9, I would help my father on Sundays, stuffing newspapers in front of the store, a n d I wor ke d t h e r e a l l through high school.” A ndrew Mangone also remembers helping to sell newspapers in front of the store when he was a boy. “I really grew up in the business, and it was a learning experience. I joined full-time in 1972 when I was 18.” After a stint in Atlantic City working in the casinos, John Roberto returned to Hinkson’s full-time in 1982, and the family tradition has continued. Af ter many years on Nassau Street, Hinkson’s move d to Spr i ng St ree t in 2005, and it has been a good location, repor ts Mangone. “We have been very pleased. We get good w a l k- i n t r a f f i c, a n d , of course, we continue our online commercial business.” Changing Times “The challenge is to keep up with changing times,” says Mangone. “With technology and online shopping, there has been an evolution in the business, and also, change happens much faster these days than in the past. Shopping is very different today, and the tone is different, with less face-to-face interaction.” Adds Roberto, “With online shopping, and to a degree, the big box stores, the changes have been very challenging to adapt to. But we try very hard to offer what

our customers need, and I think we are succeeding.” Convenience is the key, agree the owners. Offering products that customers need and can quickly come in and pick up is crucial. “People want to come in and get a card, or printer cartridges and inkjets, or electronic supplies, such as chargeable cables for phones, as well as pens and paper, journals, and n ote b o o k s. A c u s to m e r just came in to buy several reams of printing paper the other day. They know they can count on us for good, reliable service, and quality products.” Their online commercial business, with more than 4 0,0 0 0 i te m s av a i l ab l e including office furniture, remains strong, adds Roberto. “For the most part, our commercial accounts are very loyal to us because they know we do give as good, or better, prices than the competition. We set our prices so that we compete with the big box stores, and our knowledge of product, I think, is second to none.” Popular Products Even in the world of constant communication and digital networking, many believe there is still a place for handwritten notes — whether to send a special message, jot down a quick thought, or simply to feel the paper and hold something tangible. For the customers who fit into this category, Hinkson’s offers an array of fine writing paper, journals, notebooks, and every kind of writing instrument — ballpoint, rollerball, and fountain pens (including ink cartridges).

HERE TO STAY: “To survive in business today, you have to adapt and offer convenience for people. We provide the convenience of an in-town establishment, where customers can stop in and quickly get what they need — cards, office and school supplies, printer cartridges, pens, FedEx shipping, etc. And of course, we also offer our commercial online business.” John Roberto, left, and Andrew Mangone, co-owners of Hinkson’s, The Office Store, look forward to the store’s 100th anniversary under the Hinkson’s name. Among the popular and quality products are those from Quo Vadis, Clairefontaine, R hodia, and Leuchtterm, among others. The latest in trends and new advances, including dot paper (instead of lined), are all available in every size, color, and format. Artists and writers can also find sketch pads, art supplies, and the indispensable repor ter’s notebooks. Hinkson’s is dedicated to maintaining the vibrant downtown shopping scene that Princeton is lucky to have. Bricks and mor tar establishments are closing in many areas, and John Roberto and Andrew Mangone do not want to see that happen here. “We want to t hank all of our customers, old and

new, because they are not just customers, they are friends. We also want to thank them for buying locally. That is very important because if the community does not support local businesses, they will not be in business. “And regarding our commercial accounts, we want to remind all the offices and businesses in town that we offer very competitive prices. Please give us an opportunity to earn your support. You will find our services, products, and prices to be just what you need.” Hinkson’s is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (609) 924-0112.

P r i n ce ton Un ive r s it y’s Robertson Hall, home of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, will undergo a major redesign and renovation expected to begin this month and last through summer 2020. The architect is KPMB, a Toronto-based firm that designed the University’s Julis Romo Rabinowitz and Louis A. Simpson International Buildings at 20 Washington Road. The project, “Reimagining Robertson,” will include the first, second, third, and fourth floors, portions of the lower level, and minor updates to Arthur Lewis Auditorium — nearly 48,000 square feet in total. For the duration of the project, Woodrow Wilson School administrators and faculty currently housed in Robertson Hall have been relocated to Green Hall on Washington Road. “Upon completion, the newly redesigned Robertson Hall will provide a highly collaborative academic and professional environment that respects the building’s unique architectural heritage while meeting the 21st century needs of our faculty, staff, and students,” said Cecilia Rouse, dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. “The redesign supports our strategic planning goals to prov ide more functional spaces for teaching and research, increased opportunities for academic collaboration, and a stronger sense of community within the School.” Located at the intersection of Washington Road and Prospect Avenue, Robertson Hall was built in 1965 as a result of a gift by Charles ’26 and Marie Robertson. Designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, the building is an architectural icon on the Princeton University campus.

Miss Bala

CINEMA REVIEW

Gina Rodriguez Plays Kidnap Victim in Action Thriller

loria (Gina Rodriguez) is a Hollywood makeup artist sorely in need of a break from her abusive boss. The straw that broke the camel’s back came the day he condescendingly responded to her resourcefulness with the insulting, “Honey, we’re not paying you to think.” So, on her way out the door, Gloria stole a couple of bags of cosmetics for her lifelong friend, Suzu (Cristina Rodlo), who is about to enter the Miss Baja beauty contest. Suzu still lives south of the border in their hometown of Tijuana with her little brother, Chava (Sebastian Cano). Not long after Gloria arrives in Tijuana, the friends head out to a disco to attend a party sponsored by the pageant. But they are soon separated when a gunfight breaks out between the police and La Estrella, a drug cartel led by the bloodthirsty Lino Esperanza (Ismael Cruz Cordova). Gloria ends up in the mobster’s clutches, and is unwittingly duped into blowing up a DEA safe house with three agents inside. She’s subsequently apprehended by agent Brian Reich (Matt Lauria), who doesn’t believe a word of her improbable alibi. He forces Gloria to prove her innocence by infiltrating

Lino’s gang in order to help the U.S. government bring down the vicious crime syndicate. Of course, that’s easier said than done since she’s a beautician unschooled in undercover detective work. That’s the captivating premise established at the outset of Miss Bala, a frenetically-paced remake of the 2011 Mexican action thriller of the same name. The film was directed by Catherine Hardwicke whose adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance novel Twilight netted around $400 million at the box office. Here, Hardwicke has crafted a compelling cross of Taken (2008) and Miss Congeniality (2000). The movie’s relentless sense of urgency is reminiscent of the former, while the protagonist’s grudging participation in a beauty pageant is similar to Sandra Bullock’s fish-out-of-water performance in the latter. A two-fisted tale of female empowerment featuring a riveting roller coaster ride you’ll never forget. Excellent (H H H H). Rated PG-13 for violence, profanity, sexuality, drug use, and mature themes. In English and Spanish with subtitles. Running time: 104 minutes. Production Companies: Sony Pictures Entertainment/Canana Films/Misher Films. Distributor: Columbia Pictures. —Kam Williams

S ports

With Freshman Connors Going on Scoring Binge, PU Women’s Hockey Stays Atop ECACH Standings Maggie Connors realized that the game was on her stick as the Princeton University women’s hockey team headed into the waning seconds of overtime against St. Lawrence last Friday night at Hobey Baker Rink. With the foes knotted in a 3-3 deadlock, Princeton freshman forward Connors chased down the puck and raced up ice. “When I saw Sarah [Fillier] chip it, I was thinking this was most likely going to be the last chance,” recalled Connors. “I didn’t know that there was three seconds left at the time and I held on to it a lot longer than I normally would so if this is the last chance, I don’t want to miss the net.” Connors didn’t miss the net, firing the puck past the St. Lawrence goalie with 3.2 seconds left to give the Tigers a dramatic victory. “I saw both corners and I thought short side looked better so I went for it,” said Connors, who was mobbed by her teammates on the ice after the horn sounded. “That is what I was shooting for; I would never hit that all the time. It was kind of lucky but it worked out.” The tally not only gave the Tigers a win, it extended their program-record unbeaten streak to 20. “It means a lot, the team is so supportive,” said Connors,

who scored Princeton’s initial goal of the night on a first period power play. “It is a great win, it was a lot of fun.” The Tigers didn’t have so much fun a day later as No. 4 Princeton lost 3-1 to No. 5 Clarkson to see their streak get snapped. While the defeat was disappointing, Connors likes the way the Tigers have played since returning from a 17-day exam hiatus “The break was hard; with exams, we didn’t practice as much as we would have liked,” said Connors. “We definitely picked up right where left off. Against Penn State (a 4-2 win on January 29), there were a few minutes where we had to get going to get our legs under us. I think practicing the little things over that break really helped us out.” Connors has picked up her scoring pace, scoring 12 goals in her last eight games after notching five in the first nine games of her college career. “In the beginning, I played a little more hesitant,” said Connors, a 5’6 native of St. John’s, Newfoundland, who made the 2018-19 Canada National Development Team and has played for the country’s U18 squad. “I realized you have got to be quicker with the puck and you have to know where you

are going to put it before you even get it.” Playing on the same line with classmate Fillier, a fellow Canadian national performer, has played a key role in Connors’ recent surge. “We only played probably 10 games together before this, but I feel like we have been playing together for years,” said Connors, whose 17 goals lead the Tigers. “She knows where I am. I don’t even have to look, I just know where she is going to be every time down low. That definitely helps out with the chemistry and being in the right spot to shoot and score.” Princeton head coach Cara Morey sensed that Connors was going to emerge as an offensive force this winter. “Maggie is a natural goal scorer; she has a knack,” said Morey. “She is one of the best players off the puck. She knows where the puck is going to go and she gets there and she can shoot. She can find those tiny little pinholes and she plays really well with Sarah.” Going toe-to-toe with a feisty St. Lawrence team, which took a 1-0 lead and then rallied to tie the game at 2-2 and 3-3, was valuable for the Tigers. “Tonight was a great test because usually we have a lead and we start to give it up,” said Morey.

MAG FORCE: Princeton University women’s hockey player Maggie Connors controls the puck in recent action. Last Friday against St. Lawrence, freshman forward Connors scored the game winning goal with 3.2 second left in overtime as the Tigers prevailed 4-3 and extended their program-record unbeaten streak to 20. A day later, No. 4 Princeton lost 3-1 to No. 5 Clarkson to see the streak get snapped. The Tigers, now 15-3-5 overall and 12-1-3 ECAC Hockey, play at Brown on February 8 and at Yale on February 9. (Photo provided courtesy of Princeton’s Office of Athletic Communications) “We had to battle the entire 65 minutes. I was really proud of them for their resilience; that St Lawrence team deserves a ton of credit.” With Princeton, now 15-35 overall and 12-1-3 ECAC Hockey and tied with Cornell for first in the league standings, Morey knows her players will need to keep showing resilience. “Our team has big hearts

and they find a way to win in the end,” said Morey, whose team plays at Brown on February 8 and at Yale on February 9. “It is hard to play in our league and to play these teams that are incredible night after night and still find a way to win.” Connors, for her part, is confident the she and Fillier along with junior partner Carly Bullock can help

provide the scoring punch necessary to help Princeton stay on the winning track. “Our line just works so well,” said Connors. “In the beginning, it took some getting used to, playing with new players. We all complement each other well. We all want to score, we all want assists.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Hoops Posts 2-0 Ivy Weekend As Senior Rush Motivated for Stretch Drive Gabrielle Rush is feeling a lot better this week. It’s not just that the Princeton University senior guard’s fall exams are behind her, it’s that the Tigers women’s basketball team is back to winning. “We’ve been super motivated and focused on ourselves to get where we need to be over the whole month of January,” said Rush. “It was finally exciting to get to suit up against another team and show we have gotten better over this month and we’re coming for everyone else. That was exciting to have that show in this weekend and get those wins to move up a little in the rankings.” Princeton had not played the remainder of January since a 66-60 loss to Penn on January 5 to open the Ivy League schedule. It was a loss that did not sit well with Rush, and she and the Tigers had plenty of time to think about it over their exam break. “It was rough,” said Rush. “Especially those first couple days, it felt like it’s going to be weighing on me this whole month. I hate losing and hate losing to Penn. I tried to use it as a way to motivate me. Coach sat down with upperclassmen on the team and we talked about what we wanted it to be like this month and what we wanted to get out of it. Basically we wanted to get tougher and to get better.” Over the rest of January, the Tiger players and coaches worked in concert to achieve those goals. “The coaches did a great job of pinpointing what our weaknesses were and working on them over this whole month,” said Rush. “I’m trying to look at it as the glass is half-full. Maybe it wasn’t the worst thing in the world that we lost. We were coasting on an eight-game win streak going into that. Having a loss, we’re 0-1 in

the Ivy League, it motivated us over this entire month. We have a chip on our shoulder and we have something to prove to everyone.” Rush has the sort of attitude that the Tigers needed over the break, displaying a winning mentality day in, day out. “Gabrielle brings a competitive relentlessness,” said Tigers head coach Courtney Banghart. “She’s incredibly competitive. I always say you have to lead competitively if you’re going to be a leader in competitive sports. She does that. She’s competitive in practice and games.” Rush provided her usual steadiness in a 79-64 win at Columbia on Friday followed by a 74-46 win at Cornell on Saturday for an Ivy weekend sweep as the Tigers improved to 10-8 overall and 2-1 Ivy. Rush scored seven points and nailed one 3-pointer against Columbia and the hit three from long distance against Cornell as she totaled nine points. She’s made at least one 3-pointer in all but one game this season. “I think it’s huge to have that confidence,” said Rush, who has 51 3-pointers on the season. “It’s always a little uneasy coming off this break. You feel like you’ve gotten better, but we also were taking finals and writing papers so you don’t know what to expect. It’s affirming in everyone’s minds, players and coaches included, but we still do have that one loss on our record. We know we still have something to prove and we’re just getting started.” One key source of confidence for the Tigers is a renewed aggressiveness out of Bella Alarie. The junior forward established two Ivy League records and a Princeton program record at Columbia. She broke the Ivy single-game record for points with 45 and field goals with 20 (on 28 shots). Earlier in the game, she broke Princ-

eton’s all-time career blocks record. With four blocks, she now has 160 in her Princeton career, and she missed the first month of this season with a broken wrist. “The key is she’s a really elite two-way player,” noted Banghart. “I challenge people to find other elite two-way players, people that make a significant impact on both ends. To score 20 field goals, it wasn’t like there were 15 points from the foul line. Yet, she’s an elite defender. Any game, she’s going to have four or five blocks. She’s a really elite two-way player. I know that means a lot to her to play both ends.” It might mean even more

to her team although Princeton has weapons like Carlie Littlefield, who had 18 points and nine rebounds against Columbia. The Tigers could see first-hand in the sweep how much Alarie’s dominance helped. “Other teams like Penn have more size, and Bella wasn’t assertive,” said Banghart. “One of her main adjustments over the last 26 days was to understand her being assertive is not really in her. She’s a gentle giant but her being assertive makes her and us better. She’s had to shift her mentality. It was the first game with that mentality and it was obviously hugely helpful. Cornell, they shaded to her the entire time but she still had 20 points so she’s being more assertive.” Alarie is the sort of player

Last weekend, senior guard Rush helped Princeton go 2-0 in its first Ivy League weekend of the season as the Tigers topped Columbia 79-64 last Friday and then defeated Cornell 75-46 a day later, getting on the winning track after having fallen 66-60 to Penn its its league opener on January 5.

Spend a vacation week on the Sonoma Coast at award-winning Sea Ranch Four Princeton Reunion couples (8 people total) want to arrange for reunion housing from May 30 through June 2, 2019, ideally within walking distance of campus. In exchange, we are offering a vacation for up to a week at our Sea Ranch home. The house sits on the hillside with beautiful views of the Pacific, sleeps 10, has fully furnished kitchen, a hot tub, internet access, and guest passes so visitors can enjoy all facilities, trails, and recreational activities – including golf, tennis and swimming. The visit can be arranged at a mutually convenient time in 2019. Here are links describing Sea Ranch and an exhibit on its history at the San Francisco Museum of Art: www.sonomacounty.com/cities/sea-ranch · www.sfmom.org/exhibitions/sea-ranch If interested, please contact Tom Cooper, Princeton ’69, at (650) 808-0933 Or tcooper@pcgfirm.com to discuss details and timing.

to apologize to teammates for taking a shot rather than passing it, but her teammates are trying to help Alarie see that they need her to play more like she did last weekend. “We’re so much happier when she’s playing aggressive,” Rush said. “As coach points out too, it opens up everything for everyone else when she’s playing like that. If they send two or three people, that’s when everyone else is open. She’s the most selfless person too. She worries about that and now it’s clicking that, ‘I’m the way we can bust this thing open.’” Rush started to see a more aggressive Alarie in practices coming out of exams. And the practice form showed up in the game with a scoring explosion matched by only one other Princeton player – the legendary Bill Bradley ’65. “During the game I didn’t even realize it,” said Rush. “That’s what a lot of our practices have been like over January. Her finishes are just incredible. She’s finishing through two or three people and being strong with it, getting her own rebounds and going back up with it. I was so excited for her because I think she’s gotten so much better just this month alone. It was incredible to see that play out on Friday and the way she handled it.” Rush has been helping Princeton stretch the floor with her outside shooting since arriving from Hinsdale Central in Illinois, where she was her program’s all-time leading scorer, rebounder, and 3-point shooter. She had to adjust to more than not being one of the tallest players on the team. “It was a pretty rude awakening when I got here,” said the 5’10 Rush. “College basketball is a lot different than high school basketball. It has taken a while for me to make that adjustment. Looking back, it’s cool to see what the coaches have done for me, trying to tweak my game here and there. I do feel so much more comfortable on the floor driving and passing as well as shooting, and defending. It’s been awesome.’ Facing talented teammates in practice on a daily basis also helped Rush diversify her game. “I credit the people that played in front of me too. It’s tough coming in as a freshman, and Michelle Miller has the dirtiest crossover and you’re getting exposed on defense every time,” said Rush. “Practicing like that, it toughened me up. I knew what I needed to do to get better and it was just attacking it and having an attitude where I want to get better and I want to contribute to this team and the coaches were telling me how I could do that.”

Rush set a career-high with 25 points against Rider this season. Four times in her career she’s made five 3-pointers in a game, but she’s a lot more than that now after four years at Princeton. “She’s a much better basketball player,” said Banghar t. “She came in as a shooter. That’s what she did for a ver y good club team; her job was to shoot for Midwest Elite. At Princeton, you don’t get to have one thing to do. The way we play, we need you to do lots of different things. She’s really developed as a basketball player and then the leadership piece is bringing others along.” Rush isn’t done developing as a player. She was working on her weaknesses over the exam break to be better prepared for the final games of her Princeton career. “I was definitely focusing on my defensive end,” said Rush. “Just minor things like checking and boxing out and being up the line (of the passing angle) to try to get more deflections. Being more aggressive on the defensive end. That’s something I focused on as well as just becoming a better passer. Obviously, playing with Bella, she gets guarded pretty tough. It’s as much on the passers as her to get her the ball.” P r i nce ton a ls o ga i ne d valuable experience for its freshmen during last weekend’s sweep on their first Ivy road trip. Lexi Weger had a career-high 13 points off the bench against Cornell. “You just look forward to having a chance to go into the team bonding that occurs in back-to-back play,” said Banghart. “It was the first time that they had two games so close together that meant so much. They needed them. To watch our team on bus trips, and do what they do, we needed this time together.” Princeton will be at home this weekend to host Yale on Friday and Brown a night later. Yale sits tied with Harvard for second in the Ivies at 3-1. Brown is 1-3 but leads the league in scoring offense. Penn is 3-0. Princeton moved to fourth in the standings with its 2-1 mark. The top four teams at the end of the regular season qualify for the Ivy League postseason tournament. “It’s a big weekend,” said Rush. “It’s exciting. After last weekend, it’s clear it’s anyone’s league this year. There’s not the same dominance. Penn is still undefeated. But it’s more even top to bottom. People are better this year. It’s exciting because there’s pressure on every game. We can’t take any game for granted. We need to tighten up a little bit. We’ve added some new things on offense and defense.” —Justin Feil

Prince has also seen action on the international stage, receiving seven caps for the United States National Squad. She is currently the captain of the U.S. National Indoor Team and most recently played in the Croatia Cup in January of 2019. Tagliente is excited to added her former player to the staff. “Hannah is one of the up and coming young coaches in college field hockey,” said Tagliente. “Her experience playing on the international stage and her time at St. Joseph’s has helped her to develop in all facets of the game. She will be an excellent addition to the program and we are excited to welcome her to Princeton.”

Emerging as Star for Penn State Men’s Hockey, Hun Alum Barratt Makes Impact on World Stage When Evan Barratt won a silver medal with the United States National Junior Team at the IIHF World Junior Championships on January 5 in British Columbia, it added another major achievement for the star ice hockey forward who isn’t even 20. “It’s definitely a bigger stage this time,” said Barratt, who won gold with the U-18 team in 2017. “Being a year older helps a lot in this tournament. It’s hard to win. Being there with a bunch of guys that I used to play with was a lot of fun, and going as far as we did made it pretty special, but it didn’t finish the way we wanted it to. I thought it was a pretty good experience overall.” Barratt’s list of accomplishments – individual and team – has mushroomed over the last five years since he was skating for The Hun School. He was on a Raiders ice hockey team that twice won t he Mercer Count y Tournament and returned from injury to help them to their first Prep A state tournament title since 1996.

He joined U.S.A. Hockey’s National Team Development Program after his sophomore year and made the national team that won gold at the junior world championships two years ago. In between, he was drafted in the third round by the Chicago Blackhawks and started his college career at Penn State. The sophomore forward was nominated recently for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the nation’s top men’s collegiate player. “I love what I’m doing and I have so much fun doing it and playing here at Penn State is so much fun,” said the 5’11, 190-pound Barratt. “You’re not thinking about it as hard work or a job. The guys I play with at school make it easy to just enjoy myself and not think about it too much.” Each level and each experience has helped to prepare Barratt for the next step, and he’s on the verge of getting a shot in the pros. Chicago has had representatives at Barratt’s Penn State games to monitor his progress and his

preparedness for the NHL. “M y t w o y e a r s h e r e , they’ve come and watched quite a bit,” Barratt said. “It’s been good communication between us. They’re just letting me do what I’m doing. They give you feedback when they come.” The Blackhawks have to be loving what they see. Penn State certainly does. Barratt was third in the country with 32 points on 14 goals and 18 assists through his first 21 games. It’s already a big jump from last year when he had 11 goals and seven assists in 32 games. “Automatically you see his IQ,” said Guy Gadowsky, the Penn State head coach who coached previously at Princeton University. “He’s a hockey player. His mind is elite, and you notice that right away. And you no tice his compete level right away. Both are at a very high level.” It was the same at Hun. His skills stood out on one of the best teams the program has ever produced, but something else set him apart

LION-HEARTED: Evan Barratt heads up the ice in action this winter during his sophomore campaign for the Penn State men’s hockey team. The former Hun School standout is starring for the Nittany Lions, tallying 32 points on 14 goals and 18 assists through his first 21 games to rank third in the nation in scoring.

and it’s continued to serve him well at every level. “He just carried himself differently,” said Hun head coach Ian McNally. “He was uber competitive. He wanted to win so bad, just really, really wanted to win, and it upset him if someone took his puck. It’s not something that’s bred into everyone.” Barratt was proud to make the junior national team again and represent the United States for a second world championships. It’s something the Bristol, Pa. resident never could have foreseen five years ago. “It’s pretty crazy because you’re sitting on the couch during Christmas watching these tournaments and watching these guys, and you’re not really thinking about it when you’re that age,” said Barratt. “You’re worried about your stuff. It’s definitely pretty cool now. You’re thinking, ‘One day, maybe.’ You’re there more as a fan than ‘let’sget-ready-for-this.’” Playing in the national development program was a huge plus for Barratt. It was a more serious investment of his time and paired him with many of his future world championship teammates. “I played with a couple of those guys for two years,” said Barratt. “You never forget your time there and the guys you played with. It kind of makes it easy when you get to play with them again. You share so many memories with those guys, it’s easy to work hard for those guys next to you. Going there with those guys is definitely a pretty cool experience.” Penn State opened him to a new set of teammates and playing at another level. It’s pushed him to be a more physical player. “You’re playing against a bunch of older and stronger guys,” said Barratt. “A guy who’s 18 years old and 190 pounds is not the same strength as a guy who’s 23 and 190 pounds. It teaches you how to use your body to your full advantage and teaches you how to play against guys bigger and stronger than you and still be able to do stuff and still be able to make plays when you’re on the ice. It’s definitely helped me.” He experienced yet another

level of competition at the world championships this year, and performed well. It started with his only goal of the tournament, the game-winner in the U.S.’s 2-1 win over Slovenia in the worlds opener. “The main thing is there everyone is really, really good and everyone knows how to play the game the right way,” said Barratt. “You go there and you know when someone is trying to make a play, it’s most likely going to be made. You have to be ready for that. All the guys in that tournament are really good players. It kind of makes your job easier when you’re playing with them, and then when you’re playing against guys like that from other counties, it makes it that much harder.” The world championships brings together the best young players from each country, almost as though it’s a college or juniors all-star game. “In a sense, it could be a little better than that,” said Barratt. “Everyone is so fast and good with their sticks and so smart, you don’t have too much time out there to make plays. You have to be on your toes for anything.” Penn State had two players in the gold-medal game. Aarne Talvitie, a freshman at Penn State, captained the Finland team that won 3-2. “No matter what, it stings, but you’re really happy for him,” Barratt said. “Him being the captain for that team is pretty cool and cool for the Penn State hockey program. Having both of us in there in that game is pretty special. Thank God it was him and not anyone else.” Barratt, Talvitie and Penn State’s director of operations Alex Dawes, who served as video coordinator for the U.S. National Junior Team, made rooting interests tough for Penn State. “Honestly, it was similar to when you see parents in the stands when their two boys are playing against each other,” said Gadowsky. “I didn’t care who won, I wanted both our guys and Alex Dawes, I wanted all of them to have a great experience and have a great time and be very successful. I wasn’t cheering for anybody, just individuals.” Barratt is the first player from Penn State to play for the U.S. National Junior

Team. He’s gained more insight into top level hockey, and that’s what the college program finds valuable. “Whenever anybody has those types of experiences, whether they’re a part of your sport or not, it benefits the individual,” said Gadowsky. “I think it’s great for your individual character. The sum of the team character is the sum of the individual parts, so that life experience on its own, having someone in our program with that life experience is a benefit. The on-the-ice experience, it’s very fast, skilled hockey. To play the number of games he did, I think they were highly emotional, and to do as well as he did also benefits you as an athlete.” Barratt was always considered a good athlete. Though hockey was his main sport, he was also a talented baseball player at Hun. “W herever he was, everyone liked him,” McNally said. “There are other skilled kids that played and didn’t leave as big an imprint. The school is pretty proud of him.” Barratt isn’t resting on a good showing at the world championships and his big jump at Penn State isn’t a coincidence. He’s worked to hone his skills further to be an even bigger threat. Gadowsky notes that Barratt still has the same competitive drive and high IQ, but he’s learned to control his emotions better, cares for the puck better and doesn’t take unnecessary risks, and skates faster thanks to his work in the gym. “No one has ever mastered skating and fast starts and quick turns,” said Barratt. “That’s what I’ve been working on for a while now. That’s what I need to start working on more to eventually make it to the next level.” That drive may be one of the best things about Barratt. Coming off playing in his second junior world championships, he’s no different than ever. “It’s like he handles everything – the guys love him,” said Gadowsky. “He’s a great guy. You’d never know. He’s just Evan. He’s the way he’s always been. He has fun at practice, he has fun in the locker room, he has fun on the ice, nothing has changed in that sense.” Upon his return, Evan Barratt shifted gears from aiding Team USA’s run back to helping No. 18 Penn State, now 14-10-2, go as far as possible. His next big step – a decision on the NHL -will be coming, but that’s not foremost on his mind. “I haven’t really thought about anything aside from finishing our season,” Barratt said. “I don’t really know. We’ll see how the rest of the season goes. We feel like we have a good enough team to make a run here.” —Justin Feil

For Ben Drezner and his teammates on the Princeton High boys’ hockey team, facing undefeated Manasquan High last Thursday night was a litmus test with the postseason on the horizon. “Manasquan is one of the top teams around, they are coming off a good season and they play a lot of good shore teams,” said PHS senior forward Drezner. “It was a really good matchup for us, especially going right into playoffs. It is good to see where we are at.” PHS fell behind right off the bat, yielding a goal in the first two minutes of the contest played at Pro Skate but then held the fort the rest of the period as neither team scored. The Tigers fell behind 2-0 in the second period but then made a late run, drawing back-to-back penalties and generating chances early in the third. “We didn’t get a lot of good zone t ime on our power plays but we definitely got some chances and bounces,” said Drezner. “It definitely helped towards the last five minutes of the game; it gave us a good boost.” With 2:54 left in regulation, Drezner got a good bounce, converting a pass from junior standout Aidan Trainor into a goal as the Tigers cut the Manasquan lead in half. “I saw Aidan coming down the right side of the ice; he had a good chance and then he got the rebound,” recalled Drezner “The goalie came out of the net and I just put myself in the slot and the puck came to me. I did the easy part.” PHS, though, surrendered a goal 20 seconds later to fall 3-1 to move to 11-8-3 while Manasquan improved to 15-0. The Tigers kept pressing in the waning mo-

ments of the contest but couldn’t break through with another tally. “We just couldn’t get the puck on net, we got shots and chances but nothing seemed to bounce our way,” said Drezner. The Tigers will look to play smart as they start action in the Mercer County Tournament next week, where they are seeded second and slated to play a quarterfinal contest on February 6 at the Mercer County Park rink with the victor advancing to the semis on February 12. “I think it is keeping our mental game strong, ensuring that we don’t do anything stupid or make bad mistakes that may cost us the game,” said Drezner, who has helped PHS reach the last t wo MCT finals where they have fallen to the Hun School both years. “We can’t let other teams get into our heads. If we end up playing Hun, it is definitely a good matchup to play one of these better teams to help us prepare for those games against tougher opponents.” PH S h e a d c o ach T i m Chase liked the way his team battled against a tough foe. “We just wanted a good hockey game before the playoffs start,” said Chase. “That is a good hockey team. I think offensively that is the best team we have played all year. They are fast and quick, they cycle, and they are physical.” Tiger f resh man goalie Daniel Prokoshin was up to the challenge, making 24 saves on the evening. “He played great early on when we weren’t playing well,” said Chase, whose team was outshot 11-4 in the first period. “He made some huge saves; they jumped all over us at the beginning.”

In reflecting on the defeat, Chase acknowledged that his squad needs to do a better job of jumping on its offensive opportunities. “We have to find a way to hit nets,” asserted Chase. “We are missing too many nets, we are missing too many good chances.” Chase was happy to see Drezner cash in his scoring chance. “Ben always hustles; Aidan made a good, hard play to get that puck out to him,” said Chase. In Chase’s view, playing hard foes will help steel the Tigers for postseason play. “It makes you sharper and the pace of the game is quick so when we go into the playoffs we are used to a quick pace,” said Chase. L ook ing a head to t he MCT, Chase wants his team to pick up the pace at both ends of the ice. “We need to play like we did today; keep it fast, keep it simple in our zone, and be a little more aggressive in our defensive zone,” said Chase. “We have to find a way to get some more goals; we are not scoring enough. I know we are playing good teams and you are not going to score a lot but we are getting good chances and we are not scoring many.” Drezner, for his part, believes that PHS will find a way to shine under playoff pressure. “We have the same seasons the past two years; we have made it to the state semis and the MCT finals,” said Drezner. “We just finally want to get a title. We lost one of our defensemen [ Patrick McDonald] to injury; that is a big loss but I think other people are going go step up and play to the best of their abilities and make sure that nothing gets us down.” —Bill Alden

Competing Hard at Indoor Sectional Meet, PHS Track Shows Championship Quality A str ing of injur ies to key performers robbed the Princeton High track teams of any realistic chance to challenge for team titles at the Central Jersey Group 4 Sectional indoor meet last Saturday. But t he PHS at hletes who did compete at t he B ennet t Center at Toms River displayed a championship pedigree. A s for t h e b oys, w h o placed sixth in the team standings in the meet won by South Brunswick, senior throwing star Paul Brennan added to his sterling resume as he placed first in the shot put with a heave of 56’1. “That was nice. Any time you can win two sectional titles in a row that means you are a pret t y serious competitor, and Paul certainly is that,” said PHS head coach Ben Samara, noting that Brennan has committed to attend Princeton University and compete for its men’s t rack program. Senior Jackson McCarthy showed his competitive fire, placing fifth in the 800 meter run to qualify for the upcoming state Group meet as a top-six finisher. “Jackson ran a nice race; it unfolded a little bit differently from the race at the counties,” said Samara. “He hung in there and fought just like he always does. He is going to be in a good position to get a bid to the Meet of Champions ( MOC ) when we get into groups.” Competing in both distance events, senior Tucker Zullo hung in there, taking four th in the 1,600 and ninth in the 3,200. “Tucker has been a workhorse for us, doing whatever we need him to do,” said Samara. “He has performed tremendously for us so far this year, so we are glad that he gets to move on.” Simon Schenk didn’t have

his greatest performance in the pole vault, taking fourth with a leap of 13’6 but Samara sees big things on the horizon for the junior star. “He was really looking for a jump up, but we are st ill early in t h is whole game and he been playing with his steps,” said Samara. “I think the more practices he has and the more jumps he gets at different heights, he is going to get h i s t i m i n g b ack s o on e r rather than later.” T he PHS g irls’ 4x40 0 relay of freshman Kendall Williamson, junior Raina Williamson, sophomore Gabby Goddard, and junior Colleen Linko is reaching new heights af ter taking first, adding the sectional title to the county crown they won a week earlier. “Those girls are incredible; we are already talking about the fact that there is not a senior in the quartet so they are all coming back next year,” said Samara, whose girls’ squad placed seventh in the team standings of the meet won by Montgomery “We have got big plans for this group of girls; they are doing big things. It is really nice at this point of the year to be able to work on a lot on f i ne -t u n i ng things that we sometimes don’t get to do until the end of winter or even into the middle of spring. We are really focusing on the fine points of the relay.” The relay’s anchor runner, junior Colleen Linko, who took third in the 400 earlier in the meet, came through with a blistering leg. “Colleen had a fantastic veteran move where she timed her move perfectly

based on what the girl from South Brunswick did,” said S a m a r a , w h o s e q u a r te t clocked a winning time of 4:05.40. “It is something that she would not have done last year but now she has slid into that veteran role. You can see that she is making mid race adjustments; she is really setting a great example for the rest of the girls. She is learning every race and all of these girls are learning. It is really fun to watch.” Samara had fun watching senior Siena Moran grit out a sixth place finish in the 800. “Siena is anot her one who has fought t hrough some recent injuries ; she was just cleared to race this weekend and ran with some pain,” said Samara. “She wanted to make sure t hat she got herself out there and gave herself a chance to get to the group meet and she was able to do it. She ran a fantastic race, a really smart race.” W i t h t h e s t ate G r o u p championship meet slated for February 15-16 in Toms River, Samara is confident that his athletes will keep fighting hard. “We are real proud of what everybody did; I think we should be able to get the majority of people who got through into the MOC, either with a top six or a wild card,” said Samara. “Now that we are not as focused on team title as we have been in the past, we can go back to old adage of ‘sur vive and advance’ and just tr y to put ourselves in a good position. We are going to have one of our Jadwin meets this week to bridge that gap of time between the two and keep everybody fresh. We will continue to make some noise.” —Bill Alden

With James Emerging as a Standout, Stuart Hoops Rolls into Prep B Semis There was a lot of emotion in the gym as second-seeded and defending champion Stuart Country Day School hosted seventh-seeded Princeton Day School in the state Prep B quarterfinals last Monday. “We are excited to get into our prep tournament,” said Stuar t sophomore guard Aleah James. “We were also excited because it was BeyShana Clark’s senior game. We were hyped for that.” That excitement translated into a blazing start for the Tartans as they jumped out to a 25-3 first quarter lead over PDS. “Our coach [Justin Leith] makes sure that we come out

with energy,” said James, reflecting on Stuart’s early surge. Not looking back, Stuart rolled to an 83-31 win, doing senior star Clark proud on her “Bey Day,” as the gym was decorated with posters honoring the senior forward. “She is a huge influence,” said James of Clark, who scored 12 points and had 12 rebounds as the Tartans improved to 13-9. “She is a great captain and she is also a great friend. She has been like a big sister to most of us.” James had a big game as well, scoring 11 points with four rebounds, four assists,

and four steals. “I feel like I could have finished better around the rim,” said James. “I was struggling with that in the first half a bit, but other than that it was pretty good.” Working hard over the offseason to hone her skills and mental approach, James has been a much better player this winter in her second campaign for the Tartans. “It is definitely just confidence; I feel like I upped my skill and my game and I got my mind right this year,” said James, who came into Monday averaging 7.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals a game “I am proud of the way

I have played this year.” Facing a gauntlet of tough foes, including such powerhouses as Trenton Catholic, St. Rose of Belmar, Miami Countr y Day ( Fla.), and Christ the King (N.Y.) has given Stuart more confidence collectively as a team. “I am happy that we have played that type of competition,” said James. “We play on a high level; we got exposed to the best and we get to see what we need to do to work towards that.” The Tartans, now 13-9, are slated to host a Prep B semifinal contest on February 10 with the victor advancing to the title game on February 13. In addition, Stuart will be starting play in the Mercer County Tournament next week. “We need to keep our energy up, keep our heads

up, don’t allow a turnover to take us out of our game and just what we do do best, moving the ball,” said James, reflecting on the team’s mindset as it looks to excel in tournament play.

“I feel like this is going to help carry us through the preps and hopefully we can get the Prep B championship back-to-back and then next is the MCTs.” —Bill Alden

For Aidan McDowell, the Senior Night celebration for the Hun School boys’ hockey team last week had special meaning even though he transferred into the program. “Coming into Senior Night for us, it was a great moment for me and my family,” said Hun senior defenseman McDowell. “Just going through four years; coming here last year (from Manalapan) and having fun with the boys.” Hosting Notre Dame in the January 29 contest at the Ice Land Skating Center, Hun had a lot of fun in the early going, jumping out to a 2-0 lead. Mc D owel l as s i s te d on the Raiders’ second goal, threading a pass to junior s t a r E d d i e Ev a l d i, w h o banged it home with 11:38 left in the second period. “I just saw Evaldi streaking down the far side and it was just, feed him the puck and let him go,” said McDowell. The Irish responded with two unanswered goals midway through the second period and the teams were deadlocked 2-2 heading into the third. Hun took a 3-2 lead on a goal by Brian Nelson but yielded a tally late in the game as the contest ended in a 3-3 tie. “We just tried to get pucks in, get in on the forecheck, and try to rattle them,” said McDowell. “When Brian scored the goal, I thought maybe we could get another one after that. It just didn’t work that way.” While McDowell was disappointed that Hun didn’t pull out the win, he believed that the team gained some valuable lessons going forward. “We just have to be positive on the bench, we just need to keep playing our game and getting on the forecheck,” said McDowell. Hun head coach Ian McNally saw playing Notre Dame as a positive experience for the program. “I love to play everybody

local,” said McNally. “People are more into it, the kids are into it. They know each other and the families know each other so you usually get a spirited game.” The Raiders got off to a spirited start against the iris as they carried the play for the first half of the contest. “We had the puck a lot and we had offensive chances,” said McNally. “As a result, everyone goes on offense. When it is the four guys up there and then all of a sudden, it is coming the other way and you let teams have momentum and you let them get back in.” McNally was not surprised to see Nelson come through with the third period goal. “Brian leads us in goals and assists and it is not one big game against a bad team, it is ever y game,” said McNally of Nelson who scored a goal as Hun defeated Gloucester Catholic 4-2 last Friday to improve to 12-8-1, giving him 42 points this season on 19 goals and 23 assists. “He is certainly getting it done. A lot of the goals are the same, he gets in the high slot where he can walk in, pick his spot and snap his shot.” McDowell has also been getting it done for the Raiders this winter, tallying 24 points on 10 goals and 14 assists. “Aidan night in, night out is one of the better players on both teams,” said McNally. “When we played Seton Hall Prep a couple of weeks ago, we were already without one guy [Matt] Argentina and the game was 1-1. Aidan got hurt and we lost 7-2; it was very obvious how valuable he is. He does everything. He can skate, he has an NHL shot, he can pass, and he has the speed to catch up if there is a little mess up.” Reflecting on the tie with Notre Dame, McNally acknowledged that his squad messed up at the defensive end.

“We just played a great game against Holy Ghost (a 2-1 win on January 25) where guys were desperate to not get scored on,” said McNally. “Today we kind of looked around and said someone else will stop him. In the end, we got a couple of bounces that didn’t go.” With Hun starting play in the Mercer County Tournament this week as it goes after its sixth straight county crown, McNally believes the tie with Notre Dame will give his club extra motivation heading into the tourney. “This is good for us bec au s e las t ye ar, it w as Princeton High we lost to in a scrimmage and then tied in the regular season and it produced some incentive,” said McNally, whose team is seeded first in the MCT and is slated to play a quarterfinal contest on February 6 at the Mercer County Park rink with the victor advancing to the semis on February 12. “Since we don’t go in the CVC standings, there isn’t the same incentive to have specific teams that you want to make up a game against. Last year, it was Princeton and now we want to get a chance against Notre Dame to prove to each other that we can do better than than.” In McNally’s view, Hun needs to play together to raise the level of its game. “When ever ybody feels like they are a part of it, we play really well; the lines roll, there is no penalties, everybody is into it,” said McNally, whose team defeated PHS 9-4 in the MCT final last winter. “Ever yone has scor ing chances. If we can get to that point, with three lines going, they all contribute and we do really well.” McDowell, for his part, is confident that Hun can come through with another county crown “It is going to be exciting with the legacy that we have created and just to carry that out,” said McDowell. “We just have to have fun out there, not gripping the stick too hard, and end it on a great note for the boys.” —Bill Alden

Sutphen Goes Out with a Bang on Senior Day, Helping Hun Girls’ Hoops Defeat Pingry 57-39 Leah Sutphen was determined to give her all last Saturday, playing in the final home game of her Hun School girls’ basketball career. “It was a little bit upsetting, but I knew we should make the most of it and I think we did,” said Sutphen, reflecting on the emotions triggered by the ceremony that took part before the Raiders played Pingry. With 5’6 forward and team co-captain Sutphen providing her usual brand of gritty play in the paint, Hun jumped out to a 26-14 halftime lead on the way to a 57-39 triumph over the Big Blue. “We had a lot of energy in the warmups and that helped to transition into the game,” said Sutphen, who grabbed three rebounds in the victory as she was honored along with co-captan Jada Jones and Erin Harrigan. “We stayed consistent with that, so I think that is what helped us pull off the win. We just had to keep our lead and keep our composure. We knew if we did that and stayed tight on defense, it would go well for us and it did.” Sutphen got involved in the offense, contributing eight points as the Raiders improved to 9-10. “It was my last game here so might as well take a few shots,” said a smiling Sutphen. In assessing her time with the Hun hoops program, Sutphen has enjoyed more than a few good moments with her teammates over the years. “The teams all four years have been super different in ability and the people,” said Sutphen. “We got PGs a couple of years and they really helped us. I will take away a lot of friendships and a lot of fun times and memories.” As a three-sport athlete, starring as a soccer goalie in the fall and a record-breaking thrower for the track team in the spring, Sutphen has relished her different athletic pursuits “It keeps me busy and it keeps me in shape all year round for the next sport that is coming,” said Sutphen, who is hoping to continue her soccer career at the college level. “It makes my all-around game better because I am always in the mood to compete. I am always with a team, always wanting to win, and get better at whatever is in that season. Hun head coach Bill Holup was happy to see Sutphen and her classmates go out on a high note in their home finale. “It is such a touching ceremony; it is so meaningful,” said Holup. “It is great that team rallied around each other. These girls have been fantastic seniors and they will be sorely missed.” Sophomore guard Kennedy Jardine rallied for the seniors against Pingry, scoring 19 points and getting 11 rebounds. “Kennedy had a big game. She was much more aggressive in attacking the basket,” said Holup. “She really stepped up and helped us, especially when Nicole [Angelini] and Jada were both in foul trouble.”

With the Raiders playing at Pennington on February 6 before competing in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) tournament from February 8-10 at the Peddie School, Holup is looking for his players to step up down the stretch. “Pennington is one of the top teams in the area; it is an opportunity to see what we can do against them and help prepare us for the MAPL tournament,” said Holup. “Blair is the top team in

the league and they showed that in the season against everybody in the MAPL but the rest of us are all competitive with each other. I think everybody is beatable and it should make for a really good tournament.” Sutphen, for her part, is looking to go out with a really good postseason run. “I think we can compete for titles. It is going to be hard,” said Sutphen. “If we keep pushing and keep playing with the energy that we had today, then it is definitely possible.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

was a member of St. Paul’s Church and the PrincetonPet toranello Sister Cit y Foundation. Daughter of the late Anthony and Matilda (Cramer) Monaco, she is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years, Charles A. Lynch; her daughters Nancy van der Horst and Cara Lynch; sons -in-law Jan van der Horst and Rafael Alvarez; grandchildren Rose van der Horst and Rafael E. Alvarez; two brothers and a sister-inlaw Anthony and Rose Monaco, Jr., David Monaco; niece Victor ia Pohlman ; and nephews Paul and John Monaco. The family would also like to acknowledge the many caregivers who tended to Marilyn over the last four years. As a child, Marilyn and her brothers spent five years at the German Roman Catholic Orphanage in Buffalo. T hough sadly separated from her parents, she had many fond memories of the care she received from the Sisters of St. Francis. Her mentor, Sister Francesca, inspired her to become a teacher and a lifelong advocate for children. A graduate of D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY, Marilyn started her career as an elementary school teacher, and taught for seven years in the Buffalo area, then South Bend, IN, and Westfield, NJ. Marilyn went on to earn her master’s degree in Nutrition from Rutgers University in 1979 and returned to the workforce offering pre/post natal nutritional counseling for the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program in Newark, NJ. She later joined WIC at the NJ State Depart-

ment of Health in Trenton, as a Program Coordinator and then as Assistant Director for all WIC agencies in NJ for more than 25 years. She was a staunch advocate for children and breastfeeding mothers, and she pioneered policies to address and ser ve the homeless, those stricken with HIV/ AIDS, and more. She addressed many conferences nationwide on the advances that the NJ WIC Program had instituted and she developed a mentoring and internship program to groom recent Nutrition graduates, in an effort to better prepare those joining the field for certification exams. Marilyn passionately and determinedly championed causes that she believed in and gave her all to realize her vision. She retired from the Health Department in 2006 and received many accolades for her contributions to the health and welfare of NJ women and children. Marilyn was an avid tennis player until her early 70s, and competed in local tournaments and Volvo Tennis. She often advanced to the final rounds, and faced opponents more than 20 years younger. She was a fierce competitor. In her leisure, Marilyn enjoyed gardening, local symphony events, going to the Metropolitan Opera in New York, fine dining, and many travels and cruises with her husband, Charles. In 1965, they famously embarked on their first trip to Europe with toddler Nancy in tow. They traveled around Europe for three months with no jobs or home to return to. That was the first of many adventures together.

A memorial mass will be celebrated at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, 216 Nassau Street, Princeton at 11 a.m. on Friday, February 8th. Burial services will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Paul’s Church or to D’Youville College. Arrangements are under the direction of the MatherHodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

In 1950, she married Peter, now honorary chairman of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and chairman of the Harry F.

As winter approac hes, homeowners and property managers are advised that tree failure is a major cause of property damage. An ice storm or high wind can cause a cracked tree to fail under its own weight. Homeowners worried about trees falling and damaging property should call a professional arborist in for an inspection, advises deTuro. He notes that trees are designed to withstand storms, but all trees can fail – and defective trees fail sooner than healthy trees “To a professional arborist, defects are detectable signs that a tree has an increased potential to fail,” said deTuro. One of the major warning signs of tree failure is a visible crack. Cracks form when the load exceeds the capacity of the stem to withstand the load. Cracks can occur in branches, trunks, or roots. The wood behind the crack may be sound, decayed, or missing (cavity). Several types of cracks run with the wood grain along the length of the tree and may appear as shear cracks, in-rolled cracks, or ribbed cracks. Shear cracks, a type of vertical crack, become hazardous when they go completely through the stem and separate the stem into two halves. Horizontal cracks run across the grain of the wood and are formed when loading in the tree’s crown pulls wood fibers apart. They are rarely found because they develop just before the trees fail. Horizontal cracks are a sign of imminent failure in leaning trees.

What can you do? Cracks are hazardous when they compromise the structure of the tree by splitting the stem in two or when another defect, such as internal decay and a crack, do not provide enough sound wood in the outer shell to support the tree. A professional arborist can assess your landscape and work with you to determine the safest course of action.
