Fire in Maplewood Hits AvalonBay Site Still Under Construction A fire last Saturday that ripped through an AvalonBay Communities apartment complex in Maplewood, under construction and scheduled to open in March, destroyed many of its units. While this is the second major blaze in two years at a property owned by AvalonBay, which opened Avalon Princeton last fall, a company official said the Witherspoon Street development is more than up to code. “Safety is our topmost priority at AvalonBay, which is why we continue to incorporate safeguards beyond what is required,” said Ronald S. Ladell, senior vice president, development, in an email. “For example, AvalonBay voluntarily incorporated the safeguards of National Fire Protection Association Standard 13 — a standard that is greater than what is required by the current building code — in Maplewood. This includes the installation of more sprinklers throughout the building, including in the attics, closet spaces, and between the ceilings and floors. In addition, we upgraded the fire safety for these buildings by installing masonry firewalls, which are not required for this building type by the current code or NFPA 13. These fire safety enhancements have been incorporated in Princeton.” The Maplewood fire began about 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Its cause, being investigated by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, has yet to be determined. More than 120 firefighters were at the scene. The fire involved two of the three buildings under construction. One firefighter who slipped on the ice was reported injured. The fire in Edgewater two years ago leveled that complex and was “very different” from the Maplewood situation, Mr. Ladell said. It was caused “during a maintenance procedure. The Maplewood development was still under construction, and unfortunately the additional safeguards incorporated in our design were not yet fully operational.” After the Edgewater fire in January 2015, AvalonBay voluntarily upgraded fire protection systems in the Maplewood and Princeton complexes, which were not yet under construction. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert and Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes were among a group of lawmakers who called for an upgrade of New Jersey’s fire codes. But while numerous bills to tighten codes have been Continued on Page 8

Local Resistance to Immigration Ban Continues

A rally “Against the Muslim Ban and Bigotry,” co-sponsored by The Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA), took place on the steps of the Trenton City Hall Monday, as federal courts, which had temporarily banned the administration from enforcing two parts of Mr. Trump’s order, considered the federal government’s appeals against their ruling. Meanwhile local institutions, groups, and individuals continue to express their concern and to take action to support vulnerable individuals. The final decision on the legality of Mr. Trump’s executive order, closing U.S. borders to immigrants and others from seven majority — Muslim countries and to refugees from throughout the world, may eventually be made by the Supreme Court. Monday’s rally drew a diverse group of about 250 “energetic and passionate” participants, according to Reverend Robert Moore, executive director of the CFPA. In addition to Mr. Moore, speakers included Muslim leaders, Hispanic community leaders, and a Lutheran minister who is the grandson of two Holocaust survivors. Noting the “strong sense of unity” in opposition to the Muslim ban, which he described as un-American and contradictory

to the country’s core values, Mr. Moore added that the president’s measures are also counterproductive to fighting terrorism. “If the president and his advisers see this as a war against Islam, they’re actually driving away people who have been our main allies in fighting terrorism. This directive actually makes us less safe.” He continued, “We have to keep speaking up. I’m heartened by this grassroots movement. I felt blessed to be there, part

of the beloved community that Dr. King envisioned. It’s what gives me hope.” Last Thursday, Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber joined 47 other American college and university presidents in signing a letter to President Trump, urging him “to rectify or rescind the recent executive order.” Initially drafted by Mr. Eisgruber and University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann, the Continued on Page 14

International Choir Festival at Westminster Provides a Break From Relocation Worries Efforts continue by those who support keeping Westminster Choir College of Rider University in Princeton rather than relocating the school to Rider’s Lawrenceville campus. A town hall forum on the topic was held Tuesday evening at the Arts Council of Princeton, and pressure on financially strapped Rider is sure to continue as the administration works toward a decision on the fate of the Princeton music school. But from February 16 to 18, the choir college will be in the spotlight for another reason. Some 800 people, members of 20 choirs from four nations, will descend upon the campus for “Sing ’n’ Joy,” a

weekend of concerts and competitions sponsored by Interkultur, a German company known for staging these events all over the world. Interkultur’s website reads, “In 2017 Princeton, New Jersey will be the meeting point for choirs from all over the globe. In the world of choral singing Princeton, the city located south of New York is well known for being the home of the Westminster Choir College, one of the world’s leading music schools.” The gathering has been two years in the making, and involved the cooperation of area institutions in addition to Westminster.

“What I like about this is that it really is a partnership of Westminster and Rider with the Princeton public school system,” said Anne Sears, Westminster’s Director of External Affairs. “They needed a large venue where they could sing for each other, and there are not that many places in town that could work. So the schools have been really wonderful. Next weekend is President’s Day weekend, and schools are closed. That means Interkultur will have access to Princeton High School’s auditorium and practice places, which are right across the street from us. So that really helps.” The business community has also been involved in working out arrangements for hotels, Ms. Sears added. “The Princeton Merchants Association is providing coupons for dining, shopping, and different things for the folks who are here. It has come together nicely, though there have been lots of challenges.” Most recently, there has been difficulty obtaining visas for two choirs coming from Indonesia. “But it looks like they’ll probably be okay,” Ms. Sears said. “I’m not sure if it’s because of what’s been happening with the travel ban, but we’ve been helping as much as we can. I’ve seen these Indonesian choirs perform before, and they are so interesting with their costumes and choreography. It would be a shame if they couldn’t come.” Choirs taking part come from as close as Kingston (the Kingston Women’s Chorus) and as far as Shanghai and Beijing. Princeton’s American Boychoir and, of course, the Westminster Choir, will also participate. A number of concerts and other events are open to the

public, with limited seating, and include competition and mixed choir performances. Among them are a concert at Trinity Church on Friday, February 17, which will include the American Boychoir and choirs from Beijing, China; Makassar, Indonesia (barring visa problems); Hollis, New Hampshire, and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. “There are activities people can come to. Part of the festival is a competition each day, where choirs sing for a panel of judges,” said Ms. Sears. “They are free, but people have to stay once they come in. There are two ‘Friendship Concerts’ in which choirs sing for each

other, on Friday and Sunday, and they are both open to the public.” With so much attention placed on the possible sale of the Westminster campus and the relocation of the school, which many say would be devastating, the choir festival is a welcome diversion. “And it’s a great opportunity for our students,” Ms. Sears said. “Many of them aspire to be teachers and conductors, and many are volunteering during the festival. Getting the chance to work closely with the choirs coming here, and making sure they have a wonderful experience, is a great thing.” —Anne Levin

JW Green Team Kicks off Recycling, Teaches the Teachers and Peers Too

Michael Dean Morgan, Actor

A group of seventh and eight g raders, members of the John Witherspoon Middle School (JW) Green Team, are moving into high gear this week, first teaching their teachers about recycling and composting, then bringing their training

“Surely the world’s best & most daring percussionist.”

to the whole school in homerooms on Friday. As part of the district’s sustainabilit y initiatives, eventually leading to certification by Sustainable Jersey for Schools, the Green Team students presented their plan to the JW faculty on Monday, with an initial focus on the cafeteria. They look forward to seeing the program grow and become a model for other schools as more students get involved.

TOPICS Of the Town “It’s really important that in the future we have a world that can sustain us,” said eighth grade Team member Sophia Huellstrunk. “By composting and recycling we’re making a small difference, but eventually it’s going to help lots of schools be more eco-friendly and hopefully make the planet better for us in the future.” Noting “piles of trash” at JW, Sanyukta Mudakannavar, also an eighth grade Team member, stated, “I see kids in the cafeteria dumping food that could be used as compost, so I think it’s a great thing that we can raise awareness.” As the Green Team representatives introduced the new recycling and composting protocol, they explained their color-coded system, with stations for liquids, recyclables, compost, and trash. Their presentations

in homerooms Friday will also include a video, Why Recycling is Important. The students reminded their teachers — “What can you do?” “Think about what you’re doing.” “Think before you toss.” “Simple changes = huge differences” — as Principal Jason Burr pointed out, “The students are going to lead the way. They’re taking responsibility for this initiative.” Advised by Janet Gaudino, 8th grade physical science teacher, and Priscilla Hayes, garden coordinator and environmental consultant, the Green Team thrives on the student-centered aspect of the program and they clearly understand the importance of their efforts. “I’m really into animals and helping wildlife,” added eighth grader Olivia Benevento, “so I think it’s really important for our generation and future generations that we keep a healthy environment. What starts out with a small impact will become a bigger one if we’re role models.” Pointing out the interweaving of food science, garden educat ion, and t he s ci ence curriculum, Princeton Schools science supervisor Ed Cohen stated, “It’s exciting that it comes from the students and that we have a group of passionate students who want to teach their peers and teachers.” He further noted that Sustainable Jersey has supported the program with a $2000 grant for Continued on Next Page

JZA&D Designer Awarded Intern Architect of the Year

830 State Road (Rt. 206) • Princeton NJ

Megan Pritts, an architectural designer at JZA&D in Princeton, was honored with the service award for Intern Architect of the Year 2016 at the recent annual gala of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Ms. Pritts is involved in the firm’s projects for hospitality, workplace, corporate, and residential clients. She received the award in recognition of “having made a significant contribution within the Architectural Experience Program” and for distinguishing herself by not just meeting the program requirements but surpassing them. The award also marks Ms. Prits’ professional and technical accomplishments.

“Moonstruck with Cher. The year that movie came out, my wife and I were on a three-day weekend in Chicago for Valentine’s Day. We were stuck out there in a humongous snowstorm and the only thing we could do was find the nearest movie theater and we saw Moonstruck. It was a romantic and memorable weekend.” —Peter Slavin, Philadelphia

Mohit: “There’s a book that I really enjoy by an Indian writer, I Too Had a Love Story. It has the most romantic story in it. I love that book.” Jessica: “For the Love of Mary, by Christopher Meades.” —Mohit Sharma, Plainsboro, and Jessica Placido, Monroe Township

Larry: “A Walk in The Clouds.” Linda: “I think I share the same favorite.” —Linda Masiello and Larry Schiller, Dayton, N.J.

“Pride and Prejudice. I do think it’s kind of a cliché. But I love the movie version because of the beautiful soundtrack, and I love the book because it’s witty and charming and it reminds me of my teenage years.” —Anna Applebach, Princeton

“My favorite romantic book, which they made a pretty good movie out of last year, is Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. I love the characters. Bathsheba Everdene is one of the greatest fictional characters’ names ever. She’s a very strong and independent woman and I love the fact that she’s a farmer in the 19th century.” —Allison Thomson, Princeton

The Dormant Season is the preferred time for pruning most shade and ornamental trees. Dormancy refers to the time after the leaves have fallen in the fall, and before the new leaves emerge in the spring. There are a variety of benefits provided by performing pruning operations during this period. Foremost, work is completed with less disruption at a time when your grounds are less intensely used. Further, because the ground is firm and perennials are dormant, work can proceed more efficiently – saving both time and money. Trees respond to dormant pruning with a consistent growth response. Moreover, dormant pruning is a stimulating process. Pruning wounds often close faster when made in the winter than those made in the summer. Also, there is less disease and insect presence during the biologically quiet dormant season. Additionally, because the foliage is not in the way, pruning during the dormant season allows our arborists to more quickly and accurately evaluate the structure of the tree and identify any needed modification. Efficiency is also increased because the limbs weigh less and are more easily handled without the substantial weight of the foliage. Obviously, year round employment is a requisite for all of us. Mortgage, rent, auto loan, and tuition payments all fail to recognize nature’s seasonality. Accordingly, Woodwinds needs to provide work all year round for our experienced and talented arborists and field crews. In fact, our commitment to our staff allows us to assemble the professional field crews with unmatched, unrivaled talent and longevity to skillfully tend to your trees and shrubs. Planning your tree care to be accomplished during the winter provides the greatest benefit to your trees and optimal service and value to you. If we have not yet done a seasonal review of your property, please let us know by calling WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500.

“Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them”.

s she was growing up, Joy Barnes-Johnson planned her future life as a dancer. Then an injur y dur ing her junior year in high school turned into a loss for the world of dance but a great gain for the world of education and for hundreds of students at Princeton High School, where she has taught science since 2007. “When I knew I couldn’t be a dancer, I fell in love with science,” she recalled. “And I remember my chemistry teacher said to me, ‘Joy, you’re not going to be a dancer, but you’re really smart and you’ll probably be a great teacher.’ I knew I had this ability to explain things to my peers.” Princeton Public Schools ( PPS ) Science Supervisor Ed Cohen described how Dr. Barnes-Johnson’s “passion, excitement, and love for the students and what she teaches comes out every day in the classroom and in the halls. She’s at the cutting edge in research with the new science standards.” Jersey Roots Ms. Barnes- Johnson grew up in Montclair, New Jersey with her parents — her mother a banker and her father a postal worker, three brothers, a twin sister, who is also a teacher, and a younger sister who is an electrical engineer. She described her mother as a “tireless worker” and her grandparents as also a big influence on her work ethic. “They were committed to making sure we all went to college,” she said. Ms. Barnes-Johnson went to Johnson C. Smith University, a predominantly black college, where she majored in chemistry, then returned to Montclair, where she worked at Montclair High School as a lab technician before getting her certification and embarking on her teaching career in 1994. The Teacher “I understand my significance in a diverse classroom,” she said. “Montclair was a school very much like Princeton schools, but it did not have many teachers

of color, especially science teachers of color. So I took my chemistry background and started infusing a love of art, dance, and literature into the classroom experience.” Earning her masters degree in curriculum and instruction at Montclair State University, Ms. Barnes-Johnson continued to teach as she incorporated her interest in literature and the arts with science. Her students would perform biographical sketches of scientists, dressing up as George Washington Carver or Benjamin Banneker, as they taught science lessons to their peers. When she came to Princeton High School as an inclusive earth science teacher, Ms. Barnes- Johnson was able to take on a part-time schedule and simultaneously complete her doctorate at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she focused on equitable science teaching, emphasizing strategies to engage a diversity of students. Since 2007 she has taught earth science, chemistry, and a new class titled STEM in the 21st Century, in which she described her goal of “getting more diverse students involved in rigorous science.” She observed, “It’s interesting to be working in this community where science matters a lot.” Ms. Barnes-Johnson discussed her commitment to equity and social justice in her work in the classroom. “The challenge is to address the issue of language diversity and ability differences in thoughtful ways,” she said. In a community like Princeton everyone wants to be the best, and they’re willing to work to get there. It’s important to challenge children’s belief systems about social justice, to help them understand that ability alone does not determine who they are.” She continued, “To try to teach students to collaborate fairly and effectively is the biggest part of my job. I work hard to address issues of social justice and ability in my classes. Students of all

abilities must be empowered and attended to, not neglected. I don’t want any students to feel isolated.” PPS communications director Brenda Sewell described how Ms. BarnesJohnson “teaches kids about science, but she also goes beyond to bring in connections to bias, diversity, and culture along with the science she teaches.” Ms. Barnes-Johnson described how her STEM 21 course, which links science with math and sociology, conf ronts st udents w it h “why humans need science and the place of science in the government of humanity.” The first semester of the course, titled “Designing for Disaster,” focuses on manmade and natural disasters, and the second semester focuses on science and policy and how they relate to the environment. Losing Sight of the Child “I want students to know more, but especially to know better, to use information more responsibly. It’s interesting for me to be at this point where I feel this generation is going to know so much, but they’re not necessarily going to know better.” Ms. Barnes-Johnson expressed her concern about the cur rent direction of education in this country. “We’re so busy trying to reinvent the education paradigm that we’re losing sight of the child,” she said. “We’re cre-

ating conditions that cause deep anxiety and fail children in many ways.” Citing the works of John Dewey and Kahlil Gibran in particular, Ms. BarnesJohnson emphasized that “the purpose of education is to make the human whole. If they become masters of play, as they become older they will be masters of work.” Plans Ms. Barnes-Johnson, 46, lives in Willingboro with her 17-year-old son, and they love to travel They’ve taken on ”a 50-state challenge,” which they look forward to fulfilling soon. So far they’ve been to 44 states, with just six more on the itinerary for their road trip this summer. Other interests include filmmaking, “my son’s aspiration — we spend a lot of time at the movies,” and volunteer work with the NAACP. For the future, Ms. BarnesJohnson is working on a few books and says that someday she would like to be a teacher of teachers on the university level, “but for now I’m content to enjoy my students. I challenge my students, but we laugh every day, and that’s wonderful.” She continued, “I understand the gravity of life beyond high school, but I try to embellish every day with laughter. You only get to be under 18 once.” —Donald Gilpin

A l Ward a n d h is col leagues from the Sixth Regiment United States Colored Troops Re-enactors Inc. often get the same comment from onlookers when they deliver presentations about African American involvement in American wars. “People are surprised to hear of the many contributions blacks have made, in everything from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam and beyond,” said Mr. Ward, a retired research scientist at the New Jersey Department of Health. “But black soldiers have been participating in the American military experience from the beginning of our country through the present. It’s a story that needs to be told — and to all Americans, not just blacks.” Mr. Ward and his fellow re-enactors will be doing just that during a program February 25 and 26 at Trenton’s Old Barracks Museum. The two days of lectures and demonstrations are among several observances of Black History Month planned for various locations throughout the area. Among them: On February 12, “Take the A Train,” a musical program at Plainsboro P ublic Librar y ; on February 13, “Black Love Matters — A Conversation About Love and Relationships in the Black Community” at Princeton Theological Seminary; on February 17, “Black History at PTS Matters,” a panel discussion about the role of black history at Princeton Theological Seminary, also at the Seminary; and through the end of February, “Danny Lyon: Memories of the Civil Rights Movement,” an exhibit of photographs at the College of New Jersey Art Gallery in Ewing Township. Visitors to the Old Barracks Museum on February 25 and 26 will learn about black soldiers in the Revolutionary War, represented by the predominantly Afri-

can American Rhode Island Regiment; the Civil War, represented by The Sixth Regiment United States Colored Troops; and World War II, represented by The Fifth Platoon. The War of 1812 and the Buffalo Soldiers of the American West will be recognized. And the Harlem Hellfighters of World War I will get special attention in observance of the centennial of that war, taking place this year. “We’re doing a World War I encampment,” said Mr. Ward. “We’ll talk about people like Neadom Roberts, the black Trenton soldier awarded France’s top military honor, and Mitchell Davis, who was one of Trenton’s first black lawyers and the only black person from Trenton who died in World War I. People will get a factual basis, learning what really happened during the war instead of a distorted picture of American history. These heroes aren’t always recognized.” Mr. Ward and his colleagues have been staging re- enactments of battles f rom t h e Re volut ionar y War and Civil War for the past 16 years. This is their sixth year of Black History Mont h pre s e nt at ion s at The Old Barracks. “Lots of people come through. We’re thrilled by the turnout,” he said. “It’s our contribution to Black History Month. There are artifacts here, and stories, weapons, re-enactors dressed in uniforms. People love it and we do, too. It’s our mission to tell a story.” On February 25 at 2:30 p.m., New York University history professor Jeffrey T. Sammons will lecture about his book, Harlem’s Rattlers and the Great War: T h e Und a u nt e d 3 69 th Regiment and the African American Quest for Equality. The following day, at the top of every hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., actor Chadd Gray will deliver a 20-minute presentation on

Rather Than Say No to Rider, Town Should Look for Creative Solutions

To the Editor: Like Princeton University, Westminster Choir College is a valued Princeton cultural institution. But Rider University is experiencing financial difficulties that must be addressed to sustain the University and the Choir College. Add to that the desire of millennials and seniors who want to live in walkable communities with a vibrant downtown. Rather than say no, as Princeton and other towns so often do, we should look for creative solutions. For example, permit the Choir College, with developer participation, to build multi-story housing above their parking lots and open land. This would bring revenue to the Choir College, reduce dependence on cars, increase our tax base, and bring commerce to the downtown, where retail is weak with nearly ten vacant stores. The College of New Jersey successfully completed a venture like this recently. We are living in a fast changing society, where changes in zoning and attitudes are essential to accommodate growth in a beneficial and tasteful way. Without creative thinking and compromise, we will be left behind, without the Choir College and a diversified community. PETER MAdisoN snowden Lane

parents undermines precisely the reason i believe charter schools have a useful role in the first place. This application comes at a particularly sensitive time. The Princeton Council is wrestling with a $2 million budget gap and the school Board is facing challenges of its own. The mayor of Princeton and the president of the Princeton Regional school Board have both expressed their concerns about the size of this request. it does seem to be a rather large one; it would increase the Charter school’s size by more than 20 percent and would drain more than a $1 million dollars from the larger school system budget. This is the kind of issue that should be amenable to compromise. But that can only happen if the Charter school Board recognizes that it is part of a mosaic, not a fortress on a hostile frontier. it is also incumbent on those who oppose charter schools in principle to recognize that this is not the context in which to re-litigate their legitimacy and that a modest expansion should be acceptable to all. There is something else at stake in this controversy. Princeton likes to think of itself as a leader, a bit of a city upon a hill. But leadership is a matter of action, not words. in this case, leadership requires that Princeton figure this problem out for itself and not leave it up to the state department of Education to declare a winner that will leave a portion of the community aggrieved. i do know this. We decry the inability in Washington to resolve differences. Perhaps we can show them how it’s done. WALTER FRANK Riverside drive

Charter School Expansion Will Create Budgetary Emotions Aroused by Charter School Debate Shortfall While Eroding Our Sense of Community Editor: Are Not Good for Community or Our Children Toi the am a Princeton resident and the mother of two public

To the Editor: The controversy over the Princeton charter school application to expand its student enrollment by 76 students awakens old memories. i served on the Princeton school board from 1998-2001, a time when the mere idea of a charter school had become a divisive issue. i know the kinds of emotions this issue can arouse and hope that we can minimize them this time around. They are not good for the community and most importantly not good for our children. i see nothing nefarious in the Charter school’s desire to expand the school’s enrollment. it is perfectly natural if you believe in what your school is doing and you have a long waiting list. Nevertheless, i am disturbed by the Charter school’s seemingly very narrow view of the school’s place in the larger community. indeed, it seems to recognize no responsibility at all — at least that is what i take away from the statement of the president of the Charter school Board that defended the school’s application by noting that the fiduciary duty of the Board is to “our students and the financial viability of the school.” That might be true as a legal matter but it is an unacceptably narrow view of the Charter school’s place in our community. i am not against charter schools. indeed, our daughter worked for the KiP school organization before marriage and children. But i support it in its context as an element of our larger school system, one that plays a role but at a cost. And to pretend that the Charter school has no responsibility to consider the impact of its request on that larger community of taxpayers and public school

school children. six years ago, we moved to Princeton in large measure because of the high quality of the public schools. i myself am a product of New Jersey’s public education system (in Montclair), and i believe deeply in the promise of public schools to lift all members of our society through education and communal endeavor. i am writing today to urge my elected representatives to publicly oppose the Princeton Charter school’s (PCs) expansion request. While i have no doubt that PCs is a wonderful, beloved school, i am gravely concerned about the effects its expansion would have on our town’s equally wonderful and beloved public schools. The expansion would take $1.16 million away from the Princeton Public schools’ (PPs) budget, without lowering PPs’s expenses in any meaningful way. The Charter school argues that its expansion will reduce overcrowding in the public schools, but this is a canard, as PCs seeks to expand precisely in the grades (K through 2) in which the Princeton Public schools do not experience overcrowding, leaving those grades in which crowding is a problem (6 through 12) untouched. As i see it, the budgetary shortfall PCs’s expansion would create will have two significant, harmful effects on the education my children receive. First, obviously, it will reduce the funds available to support the schools we love. Teachers will be fired, programs will be cut, and class sizes — especially at the high school, which most PCs students eventually attend — will increase. second, more perniciously, it will erode our sense of community. When the funding decisions are being made, the lack of money will pit program against program, teacher against teacher, and families against families. The choices forced by a reduced pot of funding won’t result in efficiency; they’ll result in fights over critical resources, and anguished decisions that divide our population and weaken the sense of togetherness that is so crucial to our schools’ success. i witnessed the painful divisions created by the negotiation of the teachers’ contract two years ago; imagine how divisive such negotiations will be when all money raised by a tax increase goes straight to the Charter school, leaving nothing to cover cost increases for the rest of us? Finally, a point of fairness: it is deeply troubling that an issue of such vital importance to all Princeton taxpayers is made not by Princeton voters, but by an appointed state official. When i went to the polls, i did not get to vote for the acting commissioner of education. Because i have no say in this decision, i hope that my elected representatives will speak out on my behalf, arguing loudly and forcefully against both an expansion that would severely harm our prized public schools and a funding system that takes away such a critical democratic right from their constituents. i commend Princeton’s town council for having recently done so, and i urge my state representatives to do the same.

Some Unanswered Questions About PPS Resistance to Charter School Expansion

To the Editor: Recent letters and emails cite “facts” yet when you look at different sources these “qualified” figures often vary greatly. Recent Niche K-12 rating has Princeton district as #1 in New Jersey with student/teacher ratio of 11:1 and expenses per student of $24,209 yet the superintendent quotes hypothetical increases of up to 29 kids per class in first grade if the expansion is allowed and a “weighted” per student cost of $17,373. Really? Again we are being told if expansion at the Charter school is allowed “the children will suffer with loss of programs, trips, and higher class sizes” No doubt these threats will be presented again as they always are when the district asks voters to approve an expansion of their own or their yearly budget.

What is lacking are answers to many unasked questions such as: are we educating students that we are not required by law to educate and if so how many and at what levels? Are we making the best use of current facilities and staff? Have we corrected the problems relating to oversight when it comes to facility management? How? (Millions of dollars have been squandered through mismanagement in the past). Are we taking full advantage of other area resources? Are we legally required to teach at pre-K level? How many students do not legally reside in the school district and at what schools and grades are they attending? (This would obviously include illegal immigrants, children of staff members, as well as those who may be using a relative’s address to attend school here while actually living elsewhere). in the case of staff members, are we as a district being reimbursed money by those sending districts similar to state choice program? How many students are sent from other districts due to special programs we have and at what cost vs. payments received? if overcrowding is of greatest concern at the high school level, why do we continue to accept Cranbury as a sending district and why are we not encouraging more students to take advantage of the County Vo Tech programs? (some offer college credit courses yet we have very few kids taking advantage of these programs as compared to other districts.) With so many advanced PHs students graduating and attending Princeton University, perhaps some of those should be attending higher level courses there vs. PHs. i supported the last referendum despite reservations. in retrospect, i shouldn’t have. Not only were there some serious maintenance concerns not addressed (i.e. flooding of PAC), assurances of program support were untrue as the loss of JW’s old gym has had tremendous negative impact upon programs during, before, and after school at both JW and PHs. When it comes to supporting the district’s objection to PCs, tricked me once …. KENNETH VERBEysT Princetonian, Caldwell drive

Volunteer Connect Helps Move Our Nonprofit Organizations Forward in a Significant Way

To the Editor: As a non-profit professional for over 25 years, and a four-time executive director, i know first-hand that you can have the best mission in the world but that without talented, dedicated, and well-trained board members, you will never be truly successful in advancing your mission. in Mercer County we are very fortunate to have an organization that helps us move our nonprofit organizations forward in a very significant way – Volunteer Connect. When i became the executive director of the PrincetonBlairstown Center a little over three years ago, one of the best pieces of advice i received was to contact Amy Klein, the executive director of Volunteer Connect. Amy recruits professionals from Mercer County who are interested in making a difference in their communities and then she and her board train them to be engaged and informed board members. Volunteer Connect’s trainees come to a “Meet and Greet” where nonprofit leaders talk with them about our missions and what kinds of skills our organizations need. This general meeting is usually followed by individual meetings to discuss our organization’s programs and the potential trustee’s interests. i was fortunate to be accepted to participate in Volunteer Connect’s first class, where i met and recruited an incredible trustee who has led our rebranding efforts and chaired our first special event in many years. since then, we have obtained an incredible new finance committee member and have three more trustees in the pipeline thanks to Volunteer Connect. These trustees ask thoughtful and insightful questions when they meet with our governance chair and they often ask to talk to other trustees before moving forward in the process. This increases the chance that the Princeton-Blairstown Center will be the right “fit” for them and helps them feel more prepared and engaged at their first board meeting. Volunteer Connect’s highly trained future trustees understand their fiduciary responsibility; their duty of care, loyalty, and obedience; and the need for board members to help introduce the organization to their networks. Thank you, Amy Klein and Volunteer Connect for helping the Princeton-Blairstown Center and many others in Mercer County strengthen our boards and increase our capacities to serve some of our community’s most vulnerable young people and adults.

Symptoms of Love: The Abiding Presence in C.K. Williams’s Farewell Volume Sometimes it feels even when no one is there that someone something is watching and listening …. —C.K. Williams (1936-2015), from “The Singing” ith Valentine’s Day approaching, here’s a bouquet of love notes from three writers who were all born on this date, February 8. According to the peerless prose stylist John Ruskin (1819-1900), he of the unconsummated marriage, “When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.” Jules Verne (1828-1905), the author of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, sounded the amorous depths when he asked, “Is not a woman’s heart unfathomable?” While it’s a challenge to pick any one gem from the riches Robert Burton (1577-1640) compiled for his “Symptoms of Love” in The Anatomy of Melancholy, it’s hard to top this spectacular valentine: “better a Metropolitan City were sackt, a Royal Army overcome, an Invincible Armada sunk, and twenty thousand Kings should perish, than her little finger ache ….” Another literary luminary born into the world of love and loss on this date, Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) begins her poem “Three Valentines” by claiming, “Love, with his gilded bow and crystal arrows/ Has slain us all.” The Abiding Presence For better or worse, February 14 is the one day of the year set aside for the celebration of love, and in spite of the fact that the poet’s impending death is the ostensible subject of C.K. Williams’s Falling Ill (Farrar Straus & Giroux $23), love is the book’s abiding presence, the source of its warmth and spirit. Such is the enduring truth on the other side of the holiday’s commercial exploitation of the emotion that Keats says “might bless the world with benefits unknowingly,” for who can tell that “flowers would bloom,” or that earth would have “its dower of river, wood, and vale,/The meadows runnels, the runnels pebble-stones,/The seed its harvest, or the lute its tones,/Tones ravishment, or ravishment its sweet,/If human souls did never kiss and greet?” A Princeton area resident since 1995, Williams began writing these last poems after receiving a terminal diagnosis from a “sympathetic young woman doctor.” The former Princeton University professor arranged each poem in five three-line stanzas that, as Peter Sacks observes, “seem to cross terza rima with sonnet to make a kind of bookend to Dante’s Vita Nuova.” Though the only time she’s mentioned by name is in the dedication, Williams’s Beatrice is his wife Catherine (pronounced “Katrine”). Love in Italics Williams’s way of presenting his wife in this farewell volume is to, in effect, italicize her, that being the form he gives the poems intimately related to her, of her, for her. The typographic image suggests a more delicate, relatively shapely mode.

As far as I can tell after looking through the Collected Poems (2006) and the collections published since, it’s the first time Williams has used italics this way, as a point of style setting apart a particular group of poems. Another unusual move involved clearing the lines of punctuation except for the six poems that end with question marks; as a result, line flows into line, stanza into stanza like a supremely sustained last breath, a letting go of the once taken-for-granted necessity of commas, periods, semicolons, dashes, leaving nothing but the poetry. In respect of the style followed in the Catherine poems, I’m quoting from them in italics (even the titles are set in italics) while leaving out the solidus (/) and quotation marks customarily used when excerpting verse. Also, the usual paraphrasing where the second person is transposed to the third detracts from the intimacy of poems where love speaks in every you and your. In Flame, the first poem, Williams hears the usual commo tion coming from the workshop where his wife is making jewelry — the insistent exhalations of your torch, the shy tings of a h a m m e r, a n d then your footsteps moving from one side of the room to the other as though you were on a s hip c he c k ing the horizon for indolent dawn. The unexpectedness of the shipboard analogy has an incidental charm, almost as if it’s her gift to him, a sharing of the imagined moment. A long silence follows, as she thinks of something he feels no need to imagine as he hears your door opening your footsteps on the stairs and then the thought of you as your flame ignites again and once more moves towards me again. The Poetry of Grieving C.K. Williams is seldom associated with the poetry of love. Look at the blurbs on the back covers of his books and you find terms like “acutely observant,” “selfinterrogating,” “splendid intensity,” “raw emotion and careful thought.” The Boston Globe’s Jonathan Aaron comes closest to defining one of Williams’s greatest strengths when pointing out the way his poetry “affirms the uncanny resiliency of love as solace for pain.” It’s the capacity to feel and express love and loss that makes Williams a master of the poetry of grieving, notably in his elegies for his friends

poet Paul Zweig and artist Bruce McGrew. Since he can’t grieve for himself in Falling Ill, he grieves for the approaching loss of his wife, which means grieving for her loss as well. The last stanza of Impatience, another Catherine poem, ends with the knowledge that wishing for release from this halfway death would mean having to tear myself to leave my beloved and wouldn’t my beloved be torn too and isn’t it intolerable to entertain that? Always Beside Me The two most physical Catherine poems are You and Embrace. The first begins Always beside me, always so closely to me, before describing the night I couldn’t breathe and I saw you there not gasping with me as I gasped but radiant with hope, hope becoming insignificant next to the panic barely suppressed I couldn’t help seeing in your eyes and c o uld n’t h e lp either not allowing death to enter the drama because that might undo you. I n ot h er later poems like “The C o f f i n S t o r e” from the 2010 collection Wait, Catherine restores and consoles him, but here t here’s a change because I ne e de d y ou even just from that side of my life even defined by your valiant hop e and b e ing your self in a way I’d never known before. The “never before” idea returns in Embrace, when with your arms round my neck my arms round your waist this once there’s a poignancy to our embrace … a force that takes us both and presses us against each other more than “presses” hurls us each to and against the other in a way we’ve never experienced before. At the end, the poet can’t tell if the embrace represents or embodies a recognition of mortality a premonition of what will be coming to take us or whether this is beyond us beyond what’s coming to us beyond all. “Friends” The poem in Falling Ill that’s most expressly outwardly directed is “Friends,” which, minus Catherine’s italics, speaks to “Those of you who’ve gone before how precious you remain how little your essential nature has altered” and closes with one of the collection’s most “written” and resonant passages: “here we laughed here danced all falls away only the tattered snatches of what we call past echo out from the isolate provinces of time.” Not

surprisingly, this was the poem Catherine chose to read, herself, to friends and family at the conclusion of last spring’s memorial service for C.K. at the Writers House in Philadelphia. Their Story They met by chance. No mutual friends introduced them at a party; nor were they colleagues, nor did they strike up a conversation in a Left Bank cafe. They met at a ticket counter at Kennedy in March 1973. Both were Paris bound. If all had gone according to schedule, if the plane had been reasonably close to departing on time, they might not have taken it further. But the wait dragged on for a full day, giving them time to talk. As he recalls in his 2013 chapbook Catherine’s Laughter, “We didn’t get to Paris for another day and a half, and by then we were friends and soon after and ever since lovers.” Several of the italicized poems in Falling Ill contain glimpses of their life together. In Air, there’s a reference to that island the week of love’s onset and those mornings with mild waves insinuating themselves on the shore we looked out on, the island air informing the air of the first days of illness enfolding me in a texture I’d never known as though in another genre of simple being. There’s a moment in Trees, the image of that stand of great trees at the edge of a pond beneath which I stood with you one morning in rain and felt something I might have called bliss. In Lonely, he mentions the enduring need of my first life (presumably life before that chance meeting) and of acute moments of solitude from which you most of all brought respite. And of course there’s the intrusion amid the sounds of her workshop of that metaphorical ship on which it pleases him to imagine her checking the horizon for indolent dawn. Finally, if you know how they met, the poem titled Farewell takes on additional meaning when he thanks her for devising a life for me I never imagined I’d have. Symptoms of Love eturning to thoughts of February 14, here’s a most unmelancholic celebration of the Beloved from Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy: “she keeps the keys of his life; his fortune ebbs and flows with her favour, a gracious or bad aspect turns him up or down …. Howsoever his present state is pleasing or displeasing, ‘tis continuate so long as he loves, he can do nothing, think of nothing but her; desire hath no rest, she is his Cynosure, his Hesperus et Vesper, his morning and evening Star, his Goddess, his Mistress, his life, his soul, his every thing, dreaming, waking … his heart, eyes, ears, and all his thoughts are full of her.” —Stuart Mitchner The Poetry Society of America is hosting a tribute to C.K. Williams on Wednesday, February 22, at 7 p.m., at The Auditorium, Alvin Johnston /J.M. Kaplan Hall, 66 West 12th Street, New York City. The event is free and open to the public.

letter warned that “the order threatens both American higher education and the defining principles of our country.” Decrying the targeting of seven Muslim countries and emphasizing the “value of religious diversity that has been a hallmark of American freedom since this country’s founding,” the college heads went on to state, “The order specifically prevents talented, law-abiding students and scholars from the affected regions from reaching our campuses. “American higher education has benefited tremendously from this country’s long history of embracing immigrants from around the world. Their innovations and scholarship have enhanced American learning, added to our prosperity, and enriched our culture. Many who have returned to their own countries have taken with them the values that are the lifeblood of our democracy. America’s educational, scientific, economic, and artistic leadership depends upon our continued ability to attract the extraordinary people who for many generations have come to this country in search of freedom and a better life.” T he let ter concluded, “T hroughout its histor y America has been a land of opportunity and a beacon of freedom in the world. It has attracted talented people to our shores and inspired people around the globe. This executive order is dimming the lamp of liberty and staining the country’s reputation. We respectfully urge you to rectify the damage done by this order.”

This letter followed one that Mr. Eisgruber sent out ten days ago to the Princeton University community in which he criticized the executive orders and emphasized the university’s vigorous support for “individuals of diverse nationalities and faiths.” At the Institute for Advanced Study, a group of some 50 faculty members and trustees followed up on Director Robbert Dijkgraaf’s statement of last week to “condemn and oppose the recent federal order. It unnecessarily and unfairly impedes scholars, students and more generally individuals and families, in particular those fleeing persecution, from traveling to the United States.” The faculty response continued, “It is contrary to the values of the international community to which we belong. We believe that the advancement of the sciences and humanities make no distinction — geographical, political, or religious — among people. We stand unified against the unjust and discriminatory restrictions of the executive order, and we are committed to doing everything we can within the limits of the law to protect and support those who are affected.”

Concierge Medicine

There’s a new trend in healthcare, and it’s gaining momentum in our area. By Sarah Emily Gilbert (Originally published in Princeton Magazine) Dr. Barbara A. Brown (left) and Dr. Lynne B. Kossow of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine.

or the past two years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clients’ healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care. Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors. According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine. “Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,” explain the doctors. “The current insurance model is built upon a problembased economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meet…This is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.” “For the past two years, we have been offering our Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program as an optional program for our patients,” they continue. “Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice

was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional care… We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively [do that].” Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,200 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015. They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown’s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling. Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan. According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctors’ emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends. “Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,” the doctors explain. “We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.” Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. This is helping revive medical students’ interest in internal medicine, which is predicted to increase the number of primary care doctors and revitalize our healthcare system. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.

The Princeton Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program is $1,200 per year. The fee can be paid monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually, and credit cards are accepted as payment. All medical services are billed through the patient’s insurance company as usual. Princeton Lifestyle Medicine is located at 731 Alexander Road, Suite 200 in Princeton, New Jersey.

Art PDS Art Gallery Presents “Identity”

The Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery at Princeton Day School is pleased to present an exhibit titled “Identity,” on view from February 13 to March 8. Entirely composed

of work created by Princeton Day School students in all three divisions, the exhibit centers around individual identities and the diversity of the PDS community. The artists reception will take place on Thursday, February 16,

from 12:30–1:30 p.m. Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Curated by members of the PDS Gallery Club (led by co-heads junior Michelle Leung, junior Mary Schafer, and senior Abby Ling) in conjunction with the school division heads, “Identity” is the first exhibit at PDS to incorporate work by students from all three divisions of

the school. The exhibit itself began from the brainstorming of the Gallery Club coheads along with members of the club last school year. Michelle Leung ’18 noted, “The theme of ‘identity’ is purposely broad in order to open up many subject possibilities consisting of but not limited to culture, religion, politics, and race or ethnicity.” Submissions include a wide array of media; including painting, ceramics, and photography, as well as short pieces of writing. “We work hard at PDS to create an environment that is inclusive to all and one that celebrates our entire student body. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how students of all ages express their individuality with youthful energy as they move toward the future,” says Jody Erdman, director of the gallery. Some projects that will be on display in the exhibit include the following: From the Lower School, second grade teachers Leah Anderson, Caroline Hare, and Susan Ferguson asked their students to photograph a part of their body with which they most identify and provide brief explanations about the photograph they chose. One student photographed his feet, which help him “walk and skate” while a not h er s t u de nt photo graphed his knuckles, which are “bumpy and strong, and the best part of me.” From the Middle School, Math teacher Nicole FosterHinds worked with students to create fingerprint “drawings” that featured words about their lives inside of a 14-inch blow-up image of their fingerprints. These fingerprint images will be hung in the entrance of the school and in the Gallery. From the Upper School, students in photography teacher Eileen Hohmuth-Lemonick’s class created books based on identity. These books range from exploring the photographers’ roots, to interviews and portraits of people who grow beards, to photo essays on same sex relationships or gender identification.

Play Challenges Asian American Stereotypes

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater at Princeton University will present Charles Francis Chan, Jr.’s Exotic Oriental Murder Mystery by Lloyd Suh, directed by facult y member Peter Kim and featuring senior Kathy Zhao, on February 10, 11, 16, 17, and 18 at 8 p.m. Performances will take place in the Marie and Edward Matthews ’53 Acting Studio located at 185 Nassau Street in Princeton. The February 17 performance will be American Sign Language-interpreted. A symposium presented in collaboration with the student theater group East West Theater Company will precede the February 11 performance, beginning at 2 p.m. in the Matthews Acting Studio. A p l a y - w i t h i n - a - p l a y, Cha rle s Fra nc i s Cha n , Jr.’s Exotic Oriental Murder Mystery satirically and comically challenges racial stereotyping. The play is primarily set in 1967 during the Vietnam War and civil rights movement, when the term “Asian American” first emerged to replace the offensive, previously used term “Oriental” to refer to people of Asian heritage. It follows Frank Chan, recently flunked out of college and vulnerable to the draft and deployment to Vietnam, as he struggles with his newly found Asian American identity. With the help of his new wife, his ex-girlfriend, his draft sergeant, his brother, and an imaginary monkey, he sets out to write a play in defense of this new ethnic designation. Chan is inspired by Agatha Christie’s murder mystery The Mysterious Affair at Styles and combines aspects of slapstick, vaudeville, and sketch comedy to make fundamental and meaningful points on racial and sociopolitical stereotypes. The play was commis sioned by the National Asian American Theatre Company (NAATCO), a New York City-based nonprofit theater company whose mission is to assert the presence and significance of Asian American theater in the United States. NAATCO produced the world premiere of the

play Off-Broadway in October of 2015. Zhao, an English major from East Brunswick, New Jersey, pursuing certificates in theater and music theater, knew she wanted to propose a play about the Asian American experience as her senior thesis in theater for two reasons. A play reflecting this community had not been done since she arrived at Princeton, and she has had eye-opening experiences auditioning and performing as an Asian American actor. When auditioning, she often felt that her appearance added another layer of consideration or consternation for directors. In the Program in Theater’s 2015 production of Zoyka’s Apartment she was cast as Gandzalin, a Chinese opium dealer who runs a laundry and speaks broken English and is written as a very negative stereotypical character. She struggled with a role that so obviously violated her beliefs of how wrong it was to reduce her own cultural background to a stereotype. Ultimately, working with the show’s director, the character was made less of the stereotype written. For her senior thesis she looked for a play that challenged racism and portrayed the Asian American experience. A lecturer in theater at Princeton, Kim is also an actor, producer, and activist in New York City. He notes that as a professional actor he has had similar experiences to Zhao and to the characters in the play, which he describes as a funny, entertaining, biting satire. The cast also includes

The Caped Crusader vs. The Joker in a Madcap Animated Adventure

ot since the campy TV-sitcom in the 60s has Batman been so successfully lampooned. In this movie, the superhero is the perfect material for parody in this madcap animated adventure. More concerned with jokes than plot development, this spoof is relentless in its rush to find the next punch line. Fortunately, the picture never disappoints, whether the laughs are generated by clever quips, silly sight gags, or allusions to earlier versions of the Batman franchise. For example, right before confronting a couple of villains, Batman (Will Arnett) tells Robin (Michael Cera) that, “We’re going to punch these guys so hard that words are going to magically appear out of thin air.” That, of course is a reference to the cartoon bubbles (such as “Crack!” and “Pow!”) that appeared on the screen during fist fights in the 60s television series. And it’s not just the TV Batman that gets knocked off a pedestal, every other version of The Caped Crusader is fair game. In this film, Chris McKay makes a remarkable directorial debut with this frenetically-paced farce.

The picture does have a plot that is really just another stock Batman storyline. At the point of departure, The Joker (Zach Galifianakis) is planning to level Gotham City with the help of a host of super-villains. In turn, Batman enlists the assistance of Robin (Michael Cera), Batgirl (Rosario Dawson), and his loyal butler, Alfred (Ralph Fiennes). However, before the action begins between these archenemies, the Joker demands that Batman actually say “I hate you” to his face. When that phrase isn’t forthcoming, the Clown Prince of Crime vindictively responds with “I’m done — and on my way out, I’m going to blow up Gotham City.” The ensuing mix of mirth and mayhem is mesmerizing, and it’s easy to forget that you’re watching LEGO figures. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG for action and rude humor. Running time: 90 minutes. Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

Trenton Film Society to Screen Oscar Nominees

The Trenton Film Society presents their annual Oscar Shorts Festival at Mill Hill Playhouse, Thursday, February 23 through Saturday, February 25. They will be screening short films nominated in the Oscar categories of Best Documentary Short, Live Action Short, and Animated Short before the Sunday, February 26, Academy Awards ceremony. Within the categories are a variety of films by filmmakers from around the globe, from the U.S. to Denmark and Hungary. The nominees showcase diverse stories from unique perspectives. U.S.-based filmmaker Daphne Matziaraki’s documentary short 4.1 Miles is about a Greek Coast Guard captain caught in the struggle of refugees fleeing the Middle East, traveling from the Turkish coast to the island of Lesbos. In the live action category, Hungarian filmmaker Kristof Deák tells the story of a young girl, Zsofi, who is having trouble fitting in at her new school in the short film Sing. Animated short film nominee, Borrowed Time, had its trailer go viral online in the fall of 2016. Directors Andrew Coats and Lou Hamou-Lhadj, whose previous credits include Pixar feature films Brave and Inside Out, tell the story of a sheriff from the Old West who returns to the place of a tragic accident from his past. Documentary short films will screen Thursday and Friday evenings, February 23 and 24, in a two-part program with complimentary refreshments during intermission. Live Action and Animated short films will screen on Saturday, February 25, in separate matinee programs and together as a Saturday night double feature with a reception during intermission. Audience members are encouraged to vote on their picks to win the Academy Awards and enter a raffle for passes to the Trenton Film Society’s annual Trenton Film Festival in March. “Our Saturday night double feature of the animated and live action shorts was a big hit at last year’s festival, bringing the audience together for film, food, and conversation,” said Trenton Film Society board member Susan Fou. All screenings are at the Mill Hill Playhouse, 205 East Front Street in Trenton. Tickets and information are available online at www. trentonfilmsociety.org.

Following in Footsteps of Older Brother, Kolodzik Making Impact for PU Wrestling

att Kolodzik boasts the most glittering resume of any freshman to ever join the Princeton University wrestling program. The native of Bellbrook, Ohio is the first top 10 recruit attracted by the Tigers. Prior to his arrival at Princeton, Kolodzik was the nation’s top-ranked wrestler by InterMat and FloWrestling at 138 pounds, a three-time National Prep champion for the Blair Academy, an Iron Man champion, a Beast of the East champion, the Fargo Cadet Freestyle champion, the Ohio state champion, and a Clinch Gear 2015 first-team All-American. But as Kolodzik has taken the mat for the Tigers this season and risen to No. 4 nationally at 141 pounds, he is following a trail blazed by his older brother, Daniel, a 2012 Princeton alum and

star wrestler who advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals in his senior season. “Almost every challenge I have met in my wrestling career, I have been preceded by him,” said Kolodzik. “My brother has gone through pretty much the same thing; that was my impulse behind leaving for boarding school at Blair Academy after my freshman year in Ohio. All of the hard lessons I have had to learn, he learned in a much harder way and passed that knowledge down so I am super grateful for my brother. I don’t know where I would be without him.” The Kolodzik boys started wrestling soon after they learned to walk. “I remember being in kindergarten and my dad being hey you are going to wrestle in a tournament this week,” recalled Kolodzik with a laugh. “There are weight classes so don’t go crazy and eat a bunch of cake or anything. I remember coming home and saying dad I ate a cupcake and he said it is fine dude, it is just a cupcake.” After winning at state in his freshman year in high school, as the only wrestler for the Miami Valley School, Kolodzik came east to the Blair Academy as his brother had done before him. “It was my first experience working with other wrestlers; I was a one-man team for my one year in Ohio,” said Kolodzik, noting that he

had four different coaches in his four years at Blair. “When I think of Blair and my wrestling experience there, it is a lot of new impressions that I got and problems that I had to solve with a level head.” Kolodzik’s college choice came down to Stanford and Princeton and once again he followed his brother’s lead. “I was evaluating colleges not based solely on wrestling but on academics,” recalled Kolodzik. “At Stanford, it was a lot of you want to do engineering that is really cool; we are also here to win a national title. I was oh fantastic, that is right where my mindset is. When I came to Princeton and saw exactly what the coaches were doing to make that happen for the wrestlers and with my brother’s perspective and the perspective I got from my visit, I knew this was the right place.” Committing to the Tigers in the 2014-15 school year, Kolodzik deferred admission to train with the Princeton (now New Jersey) Regional Training Center (RTC). “I lived on Witherspoon; people ask me what was that like and I say it is the best decision of my life by far,” said Kolodzik. “It put a lot of things in perspective; I am not saying it was easy. It was very worthwhile. For me it was like you are on your own, you have got your coaches, you have got your

apartment. You got to cook for yourself. It was a very real world, aside from the fact that I wasn’t playing my own bills and stuff.” On the mat, Kolodzik gained maturity as well, competing in the prestigious Midlands Championships and then placing first at 141 pounds in the University Nationals. “Going to Midlands last year, it was kind of like I always knew that college was a whole other level and it was alright, let’s see if I am up to snuff here,” recalled Kolodzik. “After I hit Midlands, it was alright I can do this. I went to University Nationals and ended up winning.” Starting his Princeton career in the fall of 2016, Kolodzik has kept winning. He opened the season by placing first at 141 in the Southeast Open and currently has a 20-2 record. While wrestling has been going smoothly, Kolodzik has been pushed in keeping up with his engineering studies. “In terms of wrestling, it has been the grind as I expected it,” said Kolodzik, who posted two wins to help Princeton defeat Brown 32-6 and Harvard 33-3 last Saturday as the Tigers improved to 7-6 overall and 3-0 Ivy League. “The part that has been new has been trying to balance school. I talked to my brother a lot about it. It is definitely a different perspective but it is fun. That has been my main challenge. In terms of wrestling, it is business as usual, get your

MAKING HIS MOVE: Princeton University wrestler Matt Kolodzik, right, battles a foe in a bout earlier this season. Last Saturday, freshman star Kolodzik, currently ranked fourth nationally at 141 pounds with a 20-2 record, posted two wins to help Princeton defeat Brown 32-6 and Harvard 33-3. The Tigers, now 7-6 overall and 3-0 Ivy League, wrestle at Columbia on February 10 and at perennial league champion Cornell on February 11. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) workout in and keep grinding.” Although Kolodzik is dedicated to helping Princeton grind out an Ivy League title as it wrestles at Columbia on February 10 and perennial league champion Cornell on February 11, he has his sights set on bigger things. “Win an NCAA title, I don’t think anything else really matters,” said Kolodzik, who also aspires to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. “I think I have to work on breaking down my wrestling a little more. I have a tendency to always focus and have a live in the moment type thing. When I am

going hard, I need to go super hard. When I am breaking technique down to learn how to beat guys, I need to slow down and look at that stuff.” Competing with the guys on the Princeton team has helped Kolodzik get through the hard moments. “I don’t know if I can emphasize enough how thankful I am for coach (Chris) Ayres and the team in general,” said Kolodzik. “I couldn’t survive without them; it has been a good experience.” The Tigers, for their part, are certainly thankful to have another Kolodzik in the program. —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Hoops Produces Weekend Sweep As Holland’s Return Lends Element of Toughness While the Princeton University women’s basketball team was excited to return to action from its two-week exam break as it hosted Dartmouth last Friday, nobody was happier than Kenya Holland. Junior guard Holland injured her knee against Fordham on December 10 and had it operated on a week later, sidelining her ever since. “It was amazing,” said Holland. “I have been waiting so long to get back.” Holland, a 5’8 native of Stafford, Va., took advantage of the break to get up to full speed. “I recovered a lot faster than expected but having that long break where we weren’t playing was good,” said Holland. “While we were practicing I could watch and rehab and

then start practicing with the team without any games. It was helpful.” Against Dartmouth, Holland entered the game midway through the first quarter and ended up hitting a pair of three-pointers as Princeton took a 17-14 lead into the second quarter. “It was a lot of adrenaline; I just came in and I wanted to play hard for my teammates,” said Holland. “I have been watching them for so long and I wanted to contribute and do the things I was seeing when I wasn’t playing. My teammates were cheering me on the whole time. They have been really supportive while I was rehabbing and recovering. I was really excited to be on the court today.” T h e T iger s broke t h e game open in the second quarter, outscoring the Big Green 27-12 on the way to

an 85-55 rout. “I think we all just dialed in defensively; that is something we have been really focusing on in the break,” said Holland. “I think tonight everybody gave 100 percent effort. We were aggressive, we were talking; we were getting in passing lanes. We were getting our hands on the ball.” On t he of fensive end, Princeton showed its depth as 12 players scored in the victory with freshman star Bella Alarie tallying 14 to lead the way. “We had a lot of contributions from the bench; really everybody was dialed in today,” said Holland, who contributed six points and a steal in 14 minutes of action. “With me and Jordan Muhammad both healthy again, we felt more whole again.

think that really pumped us up to get out there and play hard.” Holland, who came into the weekend averaging 5.4 points a game, is looking to make a big contribution for the Tigers now that she is back in action. “I have been out for a little while and I have seen things that I probably would not have seen if I was on the court,” noted Holland. “I have a better idea of what I can contribute. I want to keep doing whatever I can when I am in the game.” For Princeton head coach Cour t ney Banghar t, t he game against Dartmouth proved to be particularly memorable as it marked her 200th win in her tenure guiding the Tigers. “I have been here a long time and I have had a lot of good players,” said Banghart, a former standout at Dartmouth who served as an assistant coach there before coming to take the helm at Princeton. “Obviously it is my alma mater. It is sweeter, especially here in my new home. It is special. This is my team. It is alumni weekend too so tomorrow so many people will be back.” The return of Holland was sweet for the Tigers. “Kenya is an important piece of this team with her play and her leadership and I think the team feels better now that she is back,” asserted Banghart. “To have someone who we know can contribute and understands how we play and has the toughness and fearlessness that this team was missing a little bit without

BOUNCING BACK: Princeton University women’s basketball player Kenya Holland dribbles up the court in a game earlier this season. Last weekend, junior guard Holland returned to action after undergoing a knee operation in December and starred off the bench as Princeton defeated Dartmouth 8555 on Friday and then edged Harvard 63-58 in overtime a day later. The Tigers, now 9-9 overall and 3-2 Ivy League, play at Cornell on February 10 and at Columbia on February 11. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

her. We tried to get through the first league weekend without her. We came out .500 which is OK. I expect us to be better with Kenya back and we are.” In Banghart’s view, Holland made a big impact on the defensive end. “I think her being on the floor is partly why we were so good defensively,” said Banghart. “People felt Kenya is back we have a defensive expectation. We were hoping that she would be back by now. We worried that it would be a little bit too soon but she is strong, poised, fit, and ready.” The Tigers played strongly on defense all evening, holding the Big Green to 40 percent shooting (20-of-50) from the floor.

“Defensively we are faster and we are sharper, we communicate more, we have really dialed into that end,” said Banghart. “We are playing on that end if it matters more than anything else. Tonight we just pounced on them defensively with our energy, effort, and communication.” Princeton was energetic on offense, hitting 33-of68 shots, including 12-of-26 from 3-point range. “I think also we have honed our offensive package and we have added a lot of new things,” said Banghart. “As I think about late game with our reserves and the ability to execute and understand where they need to be and being aggressive off the dribble for other people. Those are things we have really stressed in the offense. I think we have really gotten better on both sides of the ball.” Producing the rout over Dartmouth was a good way for Princeton to start the homestretch of the season. “O u r k i d s a r e y o u n g enough and they need to see that, oh right, we are really good,” said Banghart. “I hope they were able to see on both sides of the ball the things that this team can do.” A night later, the Tigers showed how good they can be as they edged a formidable Harvard team 63-58 in overtime to improve to 9-9 overall and 3-2 Ivy League. “It is a chance for us to set the tone and show how we are going to play,” said Banghart in looking ahead to the matchup with the Crimson. “We have had their number for a lot of years now. Princeton across our chest is something that a lot of people like to play so we are looking forward to having this new version of our team. That might not have been a game that I would have looked forward to two months ago, now I do very much.” Holland, for her par t, sensed that Princeton was going to keep playing well in the wake of the win over Dartmouth. “ We a r e e x c i t e d ; w e haven’t gotten a sweep yet,” said Holland. “Coach just mentioned that in the locker room. We are hungry and we want to come out and play as hard as we did tonight. We don’t want to let up at all.” —Bill Alden

Riding an 11-game unbeaten streak coming into last weekend, the Princeton University women’s hockey team hit a roadblock as it fell 3-1 to visiting Yale last Friday. Facing Brown the next day, Princeton senior forward Cassidy Tucker and her teammates were determined to get back on the winning track. “We went on a run where we hadn’t been defeated there for a while; every run comes to an end unfortu-

nately,” said Tucker. “It is staying focused and not letting that loss rattle us.” Returning to form, Princeton ran away from the Bears on Saturday, winning 6-1 as it improved to 15-7-3 overall and 11-5-2 ECAC Hockey to stay in fourth place in the league standings and in position for home ice in the playoffs later this month. “We did bounce back so that was good; I think we just had to refocus,” said Tucker, a 5’8 native of Plymouth, Mich.

“It was just take each game as it is and just try to forget the mistakes but definitely learn from them.” While the Tigers ended up pulling away to victory, they had a sloppy first period with each team generating 17 shots as Princeton forged ahead 2-0. “We did not get off to a good start but I think it was a bit of a wakeup call so Jeff (head coach Jeff Kampersal) came in and told us let’s go guys and figure it out,” said Tucker. “We got it going and it went a little better.” Tucker got things going early in the second period, firing the puck into the top of the net to give Princeton a 3-0 lead. “Luckily I got the bounce,” said Tucker. “I picked my head up and saw. She was cheating the corner so I decided to aim there.” The Tigers cruised from there, outshooting the Bears 30-18 over the last two periods. “I think the bench energy was way up,” said Tucker. “Our team does a good job of celebrating each other and I think that definitely showed today. I think everyone really contributed today. Keiko (DeClerck) had a great goal, MacKenzie (Ebel) had her first goal. It was really exciting. It is good to see everyone on the team stepping up.” With three seasons under her belt, Tucker is looking to contribute more this winter. “I just have a different role on the team; I have been playing with some really good players,” said Tucker, who now has 22 points this season on 10 goals and 12 assists with 59 career points on 30 goals and 29 assists. “(Kiersten) Falck will move me the puck and (Morgan) Sly too; they set me up a lot.

With Seniors Promoting Family Atmosphere, PHS Boys’ Hockey Aiming for MCT Crown

FANTASTIC FINISH: Members of the Princeton High boys’ track squad celebrate after winning the team title at the Central Group 4 indoor sectional meet at the Bennett Center in Toms River last Sunday. Trailing Hunterdon Central 41-22 entering the final two events, PHS rallied to pull out the title, paced by a 1-2-3 finish in the 3,200 from senior Alex Roth, junior Will Hare, and junior Alex Ackerman. It was the program’s first-ever indoor sectional crown at the Group 4 level.

Paced by Stellar Crew of Distance Runners, PHS Boys’ Track Rallies to Win Sectional On Sunday night, the New England Patriots produced a miraculous comeback in Super Bowl LI, rallying from a 25-point deficit to pull out a 34-28 victory in overtime. Earlier in the day, the Princeton High boys’ track team came up with a miracle of its own in winning the Central Group 4 indoor sectional meet at the Bennett Center in Toms River. Heading into the final two events of the meet, PHS appeared to be out of the running for the title as it trailed Hunterdon Central 41-22. Stunningly, the track gods smiled on the Little Tigers. First, PHS got a 1-2-3 finish in the 3,200 from senior Alex Roth, junior Will Hare, and junior Alex Ackerman to pile up 24 points and take the lead. Then in the last event, the 4x400, the topseeded Hunterdon Central quartet had a false start to end up getting disqualified. “I don’t think any of us could have predicted how this was going to go,” said PHS boys’ head coach Ben Samara, whose team ended with 46 points to edge runner-up Franklin (44) and third place Hunterdon Central (41). “It is the wildest ending I have ever seen.” Samara credited Ackerman w ith over per forming in getting third in the 3,200 as he clocked a time of 9:47.62. “What Alex Ackerman did to get up into third place was

herculean,” said Samara. “We thought maybe Alex and Will had a good chance to go 1-2 and maybe we would get 18 or 19 if Ackerman squeezed into the sixth spot. I am speechless about that race and what he did. Most of the time we say if Ackerman can take sixth place, we will be in this thing. This time we said I guess we are done because we would need to go 1-2-3 and he was like OK. He went out and just got third. He does whatever we need him to do. Most of the time, it has been a sixth place but today it was a third and he went out and got it. He beat a lot of really good guys, guys who beat him last weekend in the county meet. It was incredible.” The incredible duo of Roth and Hare continued to set the pace for the Little Tigers. Senior star and Pennbound Roth placed second in the 1,600 in 4:22.56, getting edged at the tape by seven-hundredths of a second by Billy Hill of Franklin Township and cruised to victory in the 3,200 with a time of 9:31.60. Junior standout Hare, for his part, was fourth in the 1,600 in 4:27.46 and second in the 3,200 in 9:39.43. “Alex Roth was far and away the best two miler in the field today,” said Samara. “It just shows his development and Will Hare’s de-

velopment over the last few years. They just broke away from that pack. For Alex to bounce back and get first in the 2-mile after another tough fight in the mile was great. To be out leaned like that is a heartbreaking thing when every point counts. He is just a workhorse, he comes back and does his job. He and Will knew exactly what they needed to do and they went out and did it. Will did exactly what we expected him to do in the mile and 2-mile today and Alex pretty much the same thing except for getting out leaned. The stat is that between Roth, Hare, and Ackerman over three-quarters of our points today came from those three guys.” Freshman Simon Schenk picked up valuable points, placing second in the pole vault. “He is at 13’ 0 now; it ties our school indoor record and he is a freshman,” saids Samara, who also got a fifth place finish in the shot put from sophomore Paul Brennan. “They got him on some new poles and he is just increasing his speed and getting more and more comfortable with these new poles. He is going up, up, up. I think the last three weeks, it is six inches, six inches, and six inches.” Samara had the sense that his athletes were up for a big meet in the wake of finishing a close second in Mercer County Indoor boys’ track meet on January 29. “We had our team meeting on Friday and I have never seen them look more focused than they were,” said Samara. “They really wanted redemption from last weekend; they were really locked in.” While PHS was thrilled to win the North 2 Group 3 indoor sectional last year, the victory on Sunday had a special meaning. “They were thrilled,” said Samara. “To be the smallest school in Central Jersey Group 4, which we are, and for it to be our first year there and come out with a title is really special to the guys. To win this section is a huge honor, it is that much more special to have won it against these huge schools and really good teams.” —Bill Alden

There was a family feeling in the air at Baker Rink last Saturday night as the Princeton High boys’ hockey team held its annual Senior Night celebration. One of the highlights of the ceremony, held between the second and third periods of the game against WW/P, came when senior forward Anthony Trainer was honored, standing on the ice with younger brothers and PHS teammates, sophomore forward Robbie and freshman forward Aidan. In the third period, senior star Brendon McCormick, the third of four brothers to play for the program, scored his 100th career goal to cap off a 9-0 victory for the Little Tigers. Af ter wards, PHS head coach Terence Miller sounded like a proud father as he reflected on the team’s senior group. “It is a little bittersweet; this is a special group for me, they were my first freshman class when I took over,” said Miller. “I actually coached a few of them in 8th grade so I have known these boys. I have seen them rise up before me. It was a pleasing night.” The most pleasing moment of the evening came when McCormick swooped into the crease in the waning seconds of the contest to score his fourth goal of the evening and the 100th of his stellar career. “Of course the highlight was Brendon getting his 100th career goal,” said Miller. “He is a special kid, he comes from a line of good hockey players. His brothers were stars and he is a star but the thing I really admire most about Brendon is that he is the most humble kid. His humility really speaks volumes to me. He is a leader by example. It really couldn’t happen to a more deserving young man. I am a big, big fan of Brendon. Not only is he one of the more skilled guys, but he is the ultimate team guy.” The Trainor clan is making its mark on the PHS team as well. “The Trainors might be the new McCormicks,” said a smiling Miller. “Anthony is a hard working player; he has put in four hard years for us. Now he is getting to play with his two younger brothers. Anthony is a kid I pull for and I enjoy seeing him succeed because he works hard. He is a quiet kid, he deflects. I admire that in these young guys.” For senior stalwart Trainor, sharing the ice with his siblings has enhanced his PHS hockey experience. “Having your brothers on the team is really cool,” said Trainor. “Being by yourself on the team is a lot of fun because you have all of your friends but then once you bring your brothers on the team, it is family bonds that are even closer. Family is first, it is a lot more close.” The Trainor brothers have been skating together since grade school. “My younger brother Aidan started playing first and then me and Robbie started playing a year after at age five or six,” said Trainor.

“We have been playing all the way through. We have been always playing together, whether on teams or off ice, or just going to skate time.” Trainor enjoyed playing for the large crowd that showed up at Baker Rink for the Senior Night festivities. “It is very exciting to see everyone and then you have a lot of turnout from the school,” said Trainor. “It has been four years here with all the same kids. You have a lot of relationships with them, it is just a great time.” Pumped up by the atmosphere, Trainor chipped in a goal and an assist on the evening. “We tried to get all of the seniors a goal, we just try to keep the game fun,” said Trainor. With PHS improving to 14-2-4 with the win over WW/P and getting seeded first in the upcoming Mercer County Tournament, Trainor believes the Little Tigers could have a lot of fun in the postseason. “We want to try to go as far as we can, we just take it one game at a time,” said Trainor, who is heading to Montclair State and is hoping to play hockey there. “It is just a lot of excitement, building up the momentum. Brendon getting 100 goals and all the kids that normally don’t get in, getting out there and having a lot of fun. We just have a

lot of skill and a lot of chemistry on the team, everyone works really well together.” Miller, for his part, wants to see the team’s Class of 2017 end things on a high note. “This is really a monumental class, they have accomplished a lot together,” said Miller, whose group of seniors includes Sawyer Peck, Eamonn McDonald, Tooker Callaway, Zach Bouchenoir, and Pascal Meier in addition to Trainor and McCormick. “I would really like to see them go out on top. They have won the CVC Colonial Division. I would really like to see them go out with a bang and really close out their high school careers in style.” With PHS facing the victor of the Steinert/Paul VI opening round game in the MCT quarterfinals on February 8 at Mercer County Park, Miller is looking for his players to stay in the moment. “We earned the one seed over the course of the year, which is great, but now we wipe the slate clean,” said Miller, noting that senior goalie Peck’s sharp play lately is giving PHS an additional boost of confidence heading into the MCT. “We are back to everyone is 0-0. In the single elimination tournaments, you came out and have a bad night, a bad hiccup and that is it. We have really tried to preach that, one shift, one period, one game at a time and take it as it comes.” —Bill Alden

As it hosted Montclair Kimberley Academy in the state Prep semifinals last Wednesday, the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team was primed to break out of a recent slump which had seen it lose five of its previous six games. “It is always fun to play a playoff game with something on the line, the boys were excited,” said PDS sophomore forward Coby Auslander. The Panthers used that excitement to fuel a quick start, scoring three unanswered goals in the first 8:05 of the contest. “We set t he tone and scored a couple of goals early; I thought the team played really well,” said Auslander, who tallied two of the goals in that opening sequence. The Panthers kept playing well, rolling to an 11-1 win, advancing to a title game showdown at top -seeded Morristown-Beard on February 8. The line of Auslander, junior Ryan Lisk, and sophomore Ty Eastman was all over the score sheet in the victory, with Auslander tallying three goals and an assist, Lisk contributing a goal and three assists, and Eastman chipping in three assists. “Ryan and I have been playing w ith each other for six or seven years with the Tigers and Rockets so we know each other pretty well,” said Auslander. “We move the puck pretty well. We are good friends so

we know where we are going to be at all times. Ty is a great power forward who does a really good job. It just clicked well from the start.” Progressing from his freshman campaign, Auslander has been clicking this winter. “It is just getting more comfortable with the speed; club is a little different,” said Auslander. “In high school, you have older guys so you are going to get hit more. It is all about the team, everybody clicking, skating fast, getting pucks to the net, and winning some hockey games.” The Panthers needed the big win as they were still smarting from a 3-1 loss to Lawrenceville on January 26 and a 6-5 setback to LaSalle (Pa.) on January 18 which saw them squander a 5-3 third period lead. “It was definitely tough losing to Lawrenceville; a lot of people were disappointed about it,” said Auslander. “We lost a hard one to LaSalle. Your confidence goes down after that but winning this one and getting some guys on the score sheet is always good heading into the finals.” PDS head coach Scott Bertoli saw the victory over MKA as a confidence builder. “We didn’t know much about MK A so my mindset going in was just concern ourselves with playing a good game and not

worrying about the scoreboard,” s aid B er toli. “I thought for the most part we did that.” The Panthers also displayed some poise in the victory, keeping their heads when things got rough as the game turned into a rout. “It is tough when you are controlling the puck and having so much zone time; you know they are going to get physical because they are going to get angry,” said Bertoli. “You have to manage your emotions but still continue to play and protect yourself. I give MKA credit, they played hard, they were physical. For the longest time it was a 3-0 game, probably for 15-16 minutes and then we stretched it out a little bit.” Bertoli credited the line of Auslander, Lisk, and Eastman with helping PDS take control of the contest. “I thought they did well, they have kind of gone quiet for a couple weeks now,” said Bertoli. “Before they kind of carried the team as far as offensive production in December and early January. We needed to score some goals and feel good about ourselves.” In reflecting on a season which saw PDS improve to 11-9-2 after a 3-0 win over the Portledge School (N.Y.) last Monday, Ber toli acknowledged that offensive production has been an issue at times. “I thought we would defend well this year and I knew we would get outstanding goaltending,” said Bertoli. “It was our secondar y scoring and scoring in big games against good teams that has been our Achilles heel. If you look at some of these big games, the Lawrenceville game, the Hill game, those are good teams. You can’t score one goal and win many hockey games.” Having lost 3-0 to MoBeard in last season’s Prep title game, Bertoli knows that goals aren’t going to come easy against the Crimson. “They are well coached, bottom line, I don’t care who their personnel are, they are going to be well coached,” said Bertoli. “It is a chess match every year when we play them and more often than not, it is in this final. I enjoy the challenge of playing against Randy’s (Velischek) teams because they are very disciplined, there is a ton of structure to their game. They are sound defensively, you are not going to get a ton of odd-man rushes. It is going to be a lot of in-zone time where our kids have to be willing to go to the hard areas and score the ugly goals, get traffic to the net and then defend well. I fully expect it to be a really, really good hockey game and our kids are going to be challenged.” Auslander and his teammates, for their part, are ready for the challenge. “We were upset with the loss in front of our crowd and everything,” said Auslander, reflecting on the 2016 title contest. “I think we are going to be eager to play next Wednesday and it should be a very good battle.” —Bill Alden

PDS Girls’ Hoops Battles in Prep Loss to Pennington; Looking to Show Progress in County Tournament

Scrapping to the final whistle, the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team outscored Pennington 12-9 in the fourth quarter last Sunday as the rivals met in the opening round of the state Prep B tournament. But enter ing t he f inal quarter trailing 63-22, that late surge by fifth-seeded PDS only narrowed the final margin to 72-34 as the defending champion and fourth-seeded Red Raiders took a major step in their bid to defend their title. While disappointed by the result, PDS head coach Kamau Bailey had no qualms with the effort he got from his players. “My girls have done a really good job this year of not giving up, they are fighters,” said Bailey. “We just started pressing in the fourth quarter; we changed our defense and tried to put a little pressure on them.”

PDS was put under pressure early on Sunday as a hot shooting Pennington squad jumped out to 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. “We had a hard time making shots,” said Bailey. “We were getting looks, we just weren’t hitting them. We missed a couple of layups early and, on the flip side, they were hitting ever ything.” With the Panthers trailing 41-13 at intermission, Bailey urged his players to not give up. “The message at halftime was telling the girls to keep playing, this game is not over,” said Bailey. In the fourth quarter, PDS raised its game. “We set a goal in the fourth quarter to try to put some points up and to attack,” recalled Bailey, who got nine points f r o m s op h o m or e g u a r d Brooke Smukler in the loss

with juniors Ryan Robinson and Bridget Kane adding eight apiece. “I told the girls we were shooting a lot of 3s and missing them so one of the things we needed to switch was to attack the basket a little bit. We just kept taking it to the hoop and we kept fighting. Defensively, we had a couple of good stops, which really helped us.” In Bailey’s view, senior point guard Shayla Stevenson has helped PDS get into attack mode this winter. “S hayla has b een t he point guard and a f loor leader throughout her four years here,” said Bailey of Stevenson, who tallied five points in the defeat to Pennington. “Wrapping up her career here is sad for me; she has given so much to the program and so much sacrifice as well. She struggled a little bit this game to hit some buckets but her overall leadership and ability to communicate, assess and read the game has really been helpful.” Returning from a knee injury that has plagued her over the last few years, senior Alexis Davis has also provided leadership and intensity. “Alexis has come back; she is our hustle person and she basically grabs a lot of rebounds,” added Bailey. “She is really aggressive defensively. She has put a lot of time in this year working on getting better as a shooter and she has seen some progress at that.” With PDS hosting Delaware Valley on February 9 before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament, Bailey believes his team can keep progressing. “It is more games, more experience,” said Bailey. “We want to try to surprise some people in the MCT, that is my thing. I thought if we had played really, really well today and had moved the ball and knocked down some shots, this would have been a different game.” —Bill Alden

Hun Boys’ Hockey Going for 4th MCT Title, Primed to Be a Contender Despite 4-15 Record Eve n t hough t h e Hu n School boys’ hockey team is bringing a 4-15 record into the Mercer County Tournament this week as it goes for its fourth straight county crown, the squad believes it can still be dangerous. “It is obviously a different feeling than the last couple of years but I think overall, everybody to a man is pretty positive,” said Hun head coach Ian McNally. “We certainly have good players but not necessarily the lineup we have been able to roll out recently. For stretches of every game, we are certainly in control and shut the other guys down. That doesn’t get you far in hockey, you have to do it the whole game.” In falling 4 -3 in overtime at Morristown-Beard in the state Prep semis last Wednesday, Hun displayed flashes of brilliance. “That was probably one of the better hockey games I have witnessed in a few years on both sides,” said McNally. “It was a real playof f game; guys doing anything they could to win with very few penalties and playing a hard-nosed battle. We were up 3-2 and they scored late to tie it and it ended pretty quick on overtime. It was just a great hockey game and our kids realize how well they played against a pretty good team and what we were able to do to them.” Senior defenseman Liam Fitzgerald had a very good game against the Crimson, scoring two goals. “It was a career game for him ; it is funny because the game before that we played Bishop Eustace and he scored but they waved it off,” said McNally. “We had said before this game to the kids, please pass the puck to Liam, he got robbed of his goal. He scored the first two; it was one of the better games I have seen him play.” McNally liked the way his team responded to playoff intensity. “We have only played two games this year where there was really something very much on the line,” noted McNally. “There was the semifinal in the Purple Puck where we played great; we had this epic game with St. Joe’s Prep and it went to a shootout and then this one with Mo-Beard.” With Hun seeded 7th in the MCT and slated to play 10th-seeded Pennington in an opening round contest on February 7 and the winner advancing to a quarterfinal clash against second-seeded Lawrence High on February 8 at Mercer County Park, McNally is looking to see that do-or-die attitude from his players. “Those are the ones that are a testament to what the team is able to do in a playoff type game and I would hope that they make those performances next week when we win and move on, or lose and go home,” added

McNally. Despite having won three straight MCT crowns, Hun is looking to fly under the radar at the competition. “I think we are respected to some degree but we are going to be playing in the first game which we have typically been able to skip,” said McNally. “It is going to be a fourgame route if we want to try and win it. I am guessing as much as people are concerned about us, the CVC guys are looking forward to playing each other, teams like Notre Dame, Princeton, and Robbinsville. I don’t think everybody is walking around saying we have to play Hun. Hopefully that plays into our favor and we can let ever ybody worr y about each other.” While senior stars and cocaptains Blake Brown and Tanner Preston, along with sophomore Kyle Mandleur, have been stalwarts for the Raiders, several unsung players have emerged as the season has unfolded, including forwards Keith Goldberg, James McCall, Eli Panter, a nd Jack Chap el a long with defensemen Fitzgerald

and Sam Schluter. “Those four guys have been mixing in on line combinations,” said McNally, referring to the group of forwards. “We actually started them in the Prep game because they are bringing so much energy, forechecking and physical play. They have been setting a tone for everybody and they are a big reason for the surge we have had here. Liam and his partner Sam Schluter were pretty effective on defense in the last game as well.” The Raiders figure to bring plenty of energy into their quest for another county title. “We have had positive things to talk about but no wins,” said McNally. “We start out saying there are four things we can play for. We have the Purple Puck tournament, our league, our Prep, and our county. All of a sudden we are down to the last one and now we are 0-3. I think the mindset is hunger and a little bit of desperation and eagerness to win and prove that winning only four games has been as much an indication of the competition of our league as anything.” —Bill Alden

Dorothy Spirer Beach Dorothy “Dee” Spirer Beach of Lawrenceville passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday, February 3rd, 2017, 13 days shy of her 67th birthday. Born in North Bergen, N.J., she was a graduate of Mamaroneck High School in Westchester County New York and the University of New Hampshire where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. Dee was an outgoing, kind and generous free spirit who greeted everyone, friends and strangers alike with a warm smile. She loved animals of all kinds and over the years rescued numerous dogs, cats, and rabbits and either found or provided them with a loving home. She was also a frequent volunteer at SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals in Montgomery. A talented graphic artist, Dee worked as a freelance photographer for the Princeton Packet, a weekly newspaper in Mercer County. She also worked briefly for Berlitz languages and most recently as a caregiver for children and the elderly. She spent many hours over the last several years at the Princeton Senior Resource Center where she shared stories and a laugh with her many friends over a cup of coffee or a game of table tennis. Dee is predeceased by her parents, Etta and Lawrence Spirer and is survived by her son Scott Smude of Yardley, Pa. and brother, Alan Spirer of Wilton, Conn. In lieu of flowers donations in Dee’s memory can be made to SAVE, A Friend for Homeless Animals in Skillman, N.J.

Dorothy Hemphill Following a short illness, Dorothy Louise Gadberry Irwin Hemphill passed away in her home at Princeton Windrows on Saturday, January 28, at the age of 100 years and five months. She was attended by her daughter, Joyce Irwin, and son, Galen Irwin. Dorothy Gadberry was born in Carthage, Missouri, on August 26, 1916, the daughter of William and Ethel Gadberry. During elementary school a teacher discovered Dorothy’s talent for public performance. She was given elocution lessons and performed for various local civic groups. During high school, she was active in the drama society and graduated

in 1934 as co-valedictorian of her class. Dorothy would have liked to become a minister, but this career was not open to women, so she chose teaching and attended Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg, Kansas. She was again active in drama and it was during one production that she met her future husband, Arnold Irwin. Upon receiving a two-year teaching certificate she taught for one year at the Lone Star School, one-room schoolhouse in rural Missouri. In June 1937 she married Arnold Irwin and they moved to Joplin, Missouri, where he was teaching secondary school. Two children, Galen and Joyce, were born to this union. In 1954, Arnold became ill with lymphatic cancer and Dorothy returned to school, completing her bachelor in education in 1958. She then began teaching in the Joplin Public Schools. Upon the death of Arnold in 1959, she became the first woman to serve on the Joplin City Council, finishing out Arnold’s term. However, politics was not her passion and she did not choose to run for re-election. She directed her talents to other civic activities, serving, for example, as the president of the Joplin Teachers Association. In 1970 she received a Master’s degree in elementary counseling and guidance from Southwest Missouri State College in Springfield, Missouri, and began serving as an elementary counselor, first in Joplin, and later in Carthage, Missouri. In 1973 she met and married Morris Dean Hemphill of Leann, Missouri, and Corona, California. In 1974 they invited all of their children to their farm to unite them into a single family. Since then all have been treated equally and have functioned as a single family unit, demonstrating that it is not necessarily blood that defines a family, but the love that all have for one another. With Morris, Dorothy moved to Carthage, Missouri, where, in addition to her employment in the school system, she was active in civic groups, helping to organize Crisis Intervention, serving on the Board of the United Way, and helping with Crosslines and the Friends of the Library. She also revived her interest in speech and drama, giving book reviews and speaking to various groups. She was active in the Joplin Little Theater and the Stone’s Throw Theater of Carthage, performing often in leading roles until close to 80 years old. Dorothy was a woman of strong faith and an active church member, serving variously as Sunday School teacher, board member, committee member, and elder. She was a member of the Missouri State Teachers Association, Delta Kappa Gamma, and PEO. Morris Hemphill died in 1994 and in 1996 Dorothy moved to Oneida, New York, to be near her daughter Joyce. She was immediately welcomed by Joyce’s stepchildren, Debby, Brian, and Lisa Smith, and their children, all of whom became part of her loving extended family. In 2000 Joyce and Dorothy moved to DeWitt, New York, and in 2012 to Princeton, New Jersey. In

August 2016, Dorothy celebrated her 100 th birthday. Almost all of her extended family was in attendance in a two-day event at Princeton Windrows and a local hotel. She was presented with a book of her reminiscences of her 100 years. She is survived by her daughters, Janice Verity of Los Osos, California; Sandra Hunt of San Francisco, California; Joyce Irwin of Princeton, New Jersey; and Letitia Garrison of Riverside, California; and son Galen Irwin of Wassenaar, the Netherlands; as well as nine grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. Services to celebrate her life will be held at Plainsboro Presbyterian Church, 500 Plainsboro Rd., Plainsboro Township, 08536 at 1 p.m. on Monday, February 20. Her ashes will later be buried in Ozark Memorial Cemetery in Joplin, Missouri. A generous supporter of a wide variety of charitable organizations, Dorothy could be appropriately remembered through a contribution to your preferred charity, or to the Plainsboro Presbyterian Church, or to Doctors Without Borders https://donate. doctorswithoutborders.org.

Margaret White Dodge Margaret White Dodge, a resident of Princeton for over 20 years, died on February 1, 2017 at 84 years of age. Known as Peggy, she was born on June 4, 1932 in Buffalo, New York, to Irene Margaret Lee and Emmet Daniel Hurley. Peggy was raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, and attended The Villa Maria Academy in Erie and Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut. She returned to Erie following the death of her father and graduated as valedictorian from Mercyhurst Academy. She then attended Manhattanville College and moved to New York City following graduation. In 1959 she married Dr. Richard (Dick) L. White, a graduate of Princeton University and the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. Peggy and Dick moved to Tenafly, New Jersey where they raised three children: Richard L. White Jr., John E. White, and Lee White Galvis. Dick died of melanoma in 1966 at the age of 37. The department of surgery at Columbia hired Peggy and she began her pioneering life as a working, single mother of three. Over the years, her career path led her to become head of public relations at Fairleigh-Dickinson University. Aside from work, Peggy spent countless hours at hockey rinks, car-pooling, and generally encouraging her children to do well in school. In 1979, she met and married Dr. John H.

Keating who had retired from practice as a doctor at St. Luke’s hospital in New York City. They moved to Rumson, New Jersey and enjoyed many trips to far-flung places including China, Australia, and New Zealand. Peggy was actively engaged in her community and made many friends wherever she lived. She joined the Rumson garden club, played paddle tennis and tennis, and was particularly happy at the beach and near the ocean. Summers at the Sea Bright Beach Club were rejuvenating and sustained her through many difficult winters and times of loneliness. Alas, Jack, too, became ill and died in 1991. Always taking charge of her destiny, Peggy moved to what she hoped would be a vibrant and welcoming community: Princeton, New Jersey. She joined the Aquinas Institute, Bedens Brook Club, Pretty Brook Club, and the Nassau Club. A lover of art, she audited classes at the University and eventually became a docent at the Princeton University Art Museum. Later in life, Peggy loved to play bridge and seized on any opportunity to use her mind and continue to learn. Through her association with Columbia Presbyterian, she was introduced to David and Doris Dodge who became good friends. Following the death of Doris, Peggy had the good fortune to marry a remarkable man, David Dodge. Peggy and David spent seven happy years together. She particularly enjoyed getting to know his children — Nina, Bayard, Melissa, and Simon — David’s extended family, and the many organizations to which he had devoted his time and considerable talents. While being widowed three times seemed a burdensome fate, Peggy’s faith propelled her to seek a higher purpose. She was dedicated for over 50 years to her service for the New York-Presbyterian/Columbia Auxiliary, which supports the hospital through philanthropy and volunteerism. She helped establish The Richard L. White Memorial, which supports cancer research in the department of surgery at Columbia University Medical Center. She received the United Hospital Fund’s Hospital Auxiliary and Volunteer Achievement Award in 1998. She will be remembered for her generosity of spirit, sense of humor, resilience, a love of doctors (and the medical profession), and being a great mother — not only to her children but many of their friends. In addition to her children, she is survived by her brother, John Hurley, and her ten grandchildren who brought her joy and made her feel perpetually young. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Richard L. White Memorial Fund for Cancer Research, Trustees of Columbia University, Office of Development, 516 West 168th Street, 3rd Floor, NY, NY 10032 or by calling (212) 304-7612. A funeral mass will be held in the Princeton University Chapel on Friday, February 10 at 10 a.m. Arrangements are under the direction of The MatherHodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

Joseph Rober t ( “Bob” ) Cleary, 91 — beloved husband, father, and grandfather — passed away peacefully at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton, New Jersey on January 27th, 2017. B or n in E as t Orange, New Jersey on November 6 th , 1925 to Joseph Denis Clear y and May O’Brien Cleary, Bob grew up in the Village of Lawrenceville and attended Princeton High School, where he served as the vice president of the Student Council and chief justice of the student court in his senior year. Following his graduation from Princeton High School in 1943, Bob intended to join the V-5 Naval Aviation Program — an aspiration that was promptly dashed after failing to pass his preliminary physical. Disappointed, but still determined to serve his country, he applied for and was awarded a prestigious appointment to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at King’s Point, New York. Rather serendipitously, the Academy proved to be a particularly formative experience for Bob, and instilled in him a lifelong passion for all things “maritime”. While attending the Acad-

Malaysian Ministry of Education. Following his return from Malaysia in 1973, Bob began the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office for ETS, and in 1980, accepted a position with the Greece, New York public school system as their director of research, evaluation and accountability, where he spent his remaining professional years. In 1986, Bob retired to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and spent his “golden years” as an active volunteer for the PGA’s Heritage Golf Tournament, sponsored by The Heritage Classic Foundation. In 2010, he co-authored the book Reflections, a personal memoir inspired by his fond memories of growing up in the Village of Lawrenceville. Bob was a gifted statistician, a talented teacher, a devout Catholic, a voracious reader, an avid golfer, a salty mariner, and a courageous patriot. He will be remembered as much for his cunning wit and sharp tongue as he will be for his unrelenting dedication to family and friends. He was always proud to say — ever so modestly — that he was an archetypal member of the “Greatest Generation”. Bob left a permanent and undeniable mark on this

earth; from the many students whose intellectual development he stewarded, to his family whose lives he endowed with love and support, to the country for which he risked his young life. To all who knew him, Bob will assuredly be missed. Joseph Robert Cleary is survived by his loving wife Helen Birch Clear y, his faithful son Mark Cleary, his adoring grandsons William and James Cleary and their mother, Jenifer Cleary. A memorial service in celebration of his life will be held at The Edith Memorial Chapel at the Lawrenceville School on February 25th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to his favorite charity, The Heritage Classic Foundation — a non-profit organization dedicated to improving lives throughout the state of South Carolina. Donations can be mailed to The Heritage Classic Foundation, P.O. Box 3244, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina 29928 or can be made by visiting the foundation’s website, www.heritageclassicfoundation.com. Arrangements are under the direction of The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

Religion Women Leaders in The Modern Church

On Thursday, February 23, Princeton Theological Seminary’s Center for Theology, Women, and Gender (CTWG) will host a fireside chat, “Breaking the Stained-Glass Ceiling: Women Leaders in the 21st Century Church.” It will be held at 7 p.m. in the Main Lounge of the Mackay Campus Center on the Seminary’s main campus. The event is free and open to the public. “Although more women are enrolled in seminary and preparing to lead congregations, there is still a belief that women cannot handle the pressures of leadership,” said Regina Langley, CTWG program administrator. “Having this public conversation is important because so many women, particularly young women, still believe they are not properly trained or prepared to lead tall-steeple churches.” Presentations will be given by: The Reverend Dr. Amy Butler, senior minister, The Riverside Church, New York,

New York; The Reverend Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli, senior pastor, Foundry United Methodist Church, Washington D.C.; The Reverend Shannon Johnson Kershner, senior pastor, Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, Illinois; The Reverend Courtney Clayton Jenkins, senior pastor, South Euclid United Church of Christ, South Euclid, Ohio The presenters will discuss work-life balance; navigating church leadership in a historically male-dominated field; the changing landscape of the church due to the absence of millennials, gender identity, and other current trends; next steps for churches and ministries; and tips for young women who aspire to serve. A discussion will follow the presentations. Princeton Theological Seminary launched The Center for Theology, Women, and Gender in 2015. It was established to raise awareness about gender inequality in the church, in the Christian tradition, and in contemporary culture. The event is free, but registration is necessary.

Joseph Robert Cleary

emy, Bob was a member of the King’s Point Glee Club, and after completing his basic training, he served as a cadet-midshipman for over nine months on a tanker supplying high octane gasoline to islands in the Pacific during World War II. When the war ended, he returned to King’s Point to complete his studies, and graduated from the Academy in February 1946. Upon graduation, Bob sailed as third mate for Grace Line, where he raised his license to second mate, and served in that capacity on a Liberty ship hauling coal to European ports under the Marshall Plan. In 1951, Bob began his 35year career in education as a mathematics teacher in the Jamesburg, New Jersey and, later, Princeton, New Jersey public school systems. That same year, he married his high school sweet hear t, Helen Birch — an elementary school teacher herself. In 1956, Bob joined the staff of Educational Testing Services (“ETS”), and earned his Master of Education degree from Rutgers University in 1959. After brief stints as director of program and research with the Scarsdale, New York public school system and as director of research and student selection with Webster College in St. Louis, Missouri, Bob returned to ETS in 1962 where he was tasked with opening the Midwestern Regional Office in Evanston, Illinois. In 1967, ETS received a substantial grant from the Ford Foundation to conduct examination reform in Malaysia, and Bob was transferred back to Princeton to assume the role of project director. In 1971, he was asked by the Ford Foundation to become a resident specialist in Malaysia, where he suppor ted the newlyformed educational planning and research division of the

THE OFFER'S IN - AND IT'S LOW: SHOULD YOU TAKE IT? Every seller fears it: The low-ball offer. But before you turn your back, here are a few key points to consider before you decide to walk away: • Is the offer truly low, or is it simply lower than what you were hoping to get? Low-ball offers vary from one market to another and even from one home to another. An experienced Realtor can help you decide if an offer is truly too low or if it’s just lower than what you wanted. • Is your home priced right for the market? Again, an agent who’s experienced in your market can help you decide if your price needs adjusting, especially if you receive multiple low offers (or very few offers). • Are you reacting out of indignation? Once a low offer comes in, take some time to cool down and remove the drama from your decision, then consider a counteroffer closer to your asking price. • Are there other incentives associated with the offer? Maybe the offer comes with a very quick closing, it’s all-cash or there are few inspection contingencies. These can all add to the value of the offer, so they should be weighed in. After all, your goal is to sell your home, so before turning your back on a low offer, consider why it’s low and whether the offer may still be a good deal for your needs.

Whether it’s selling furniture, finding a lost pet, or having a garage sale, TOWN TOPICS is the way to go!
