Jessica Baxter, Next PHS Principal, To Prioritize Wellness

Princeton High School (PHS) Assistant Principal Jessica Baxter knows that her school is strong academically, but she also knows that PHS needs to continue its progress to become a more healthy school for all. Appointed last week as the next principal of PHS, Baxter will be leading the school as it grows and changes to meet the challenges of the coming years. Baxter has been a leader over the past two years in implementing the Challenge Success student survey and following up on the results that showed PHS students experiencing high levels of stress, low levels of joyful engagement with learning, and serious sleep deprivation. “We were a strong school academically, but we weren’t so healthy,” Baxter said. “We were trying to focus on wellness, and our kids were not feeling well. They were feeling over-scheduled, overworked, and stressed out. It was manifesting in different ways. We were seeing kids missing school, kids not enjoying classes, and lacking engagement in the learning process.” Baxter observed, “This is a wonderful staff to work with,” as she pointed out some of the changes that have been implemented. “Now we have a later start time and a block schedule with a mix of longer periods and shorter periods. We’re also looking at curriculum and instruction and how we’re using space around the school. In addition to the traditional paper-and-pen tests, we want to have more problem-based learning and performance-based assessments.” She noted that the new schedule allows for more options for teacher planning and more depth of study on certain days. Science classes have always had lab periods, but now English classes have a writing lab. “So our teachers are really enjoying the changes and the opportunities to approach learning in different ways,” Baxter said. As principal, starting when Gary Snyder retires at the end of this school year, Baxter looks forward to building on the changes of the past two years. “I want to help the momentum of those changes in a positive way and to keep up the work that we’re trying to do right now.” She added, “I love the students and the families here. It will be nice to work with them in a different role.” Continued on Page 11

“Shock and Outrage” Over Rider Contract Documents released last week by the New Jersey Attorney General’s office have revealed that Rider University’s proposed sale of Westminster Choir College, with which it merged in 1991, would allow the buyer to close the music school at any time after the sale. This calls into question the University’s repeated assurances that the buyer, a Chinese company known as Kaiwen Education, would continue to operate Westminster for five years after the sale and maintain it for 10 years. Since the sale of the renowned music school to Kaiwen was announced last year, Rider has declined to provide access to the terms of the contract. But the Westminster Foundation and Princeton Theological Seminary, both of which are suing Westminster in opposition to the sale, recently filed an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request, and the documents were released. They contain language stating that Kaiwen would be allowed to close Westminster any time after it is sold, if it decides that operating the college is “impracticable” or “economically unfeasible.”

“That is lawyers’ language for allowing them total discretion to close the college,” said Bruce Afran, the attorney representing the Foundation. “It’s obvious this is the reason Rider was keeping the agreement confidential. They’ve been misleading the public as to the true nature of the sale.” Rider president Gregory Dell’Omo has repeatedly assured the Westminster and Rider communities that Kaiwen, which is partially operated by the Chinese government, had promised to keep all

Westminster programs intact for five years and maintain the 22-acre Princeton campus for 10. Asked for comment on the released documents, Rider issued a statement saying its board “has worked ceaselessly to find a partner to operate WCC and ultimately determined that the transaction proposed by the current buyer was the best opportunity to preserve WCC in Princeton.” Continued on Page 8

Witherspoon-Jackson Plans Weekend To Celebrate History, Culture, Community

Princeton’s Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood is due to be spruced up and celebrated at a two-day festival planned for the weekend of May 18 and 19. Starting with a neighborhood-wide clean-up on Saturday, the town’s 20th historic district will hold a day of special events, and everyone is invited. “We want to share the history and culture of our neighborhood,” said longtime resident Leighton Newlin, who chairs the

Princeton Housing Authority. “But the most important thing is to generate enthusiasm throughout the neighborhood, so people can get to know each other. We’ll celebrate our history by taking the time to clean it up, making it look good, and taking pride in it.” The Witherspoon-Jackson Welcome Weekend is co-sponsored by the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Continued on Page 12

Police Investigate Thefts by Deception

The Princeton Police Department is currently investigating two cases of theft by deception occurring at two local Princeton businesses. On March 24, Dunkin Donuts on Nassau Street reported that, on March 23, a male suspect deceived them into paying $378.35 by portraying himself as a fire extinguisher inspector from Metro Fire Prevention located at 1485 State Street in Trenton. The suspect proceeded to “service” their fire extinguishers and collected the money in cash from the complainant/victim. The victim describes the suspect as male,

In the second incident, Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street fell victim to the scam when a suspect entered the business and portrayed himself as a fire extinguisher inspector. The manager on duty stated that the suspect requested to inspect the interior fire extinguishers to ensure that they were up to date. The unknown suspect provided two handwritten receipts charging a total of $476.70 for his services, which he collected in cash from the complainant/victim.

Ortiz has managed the conference for the past six years, as attendance has grown rapidly. “The goal is to make sure that these young women see that they are capable of being anywhere in the STEM field,” she said. “The women we bring here are successful engineers and scientists. They have led the way. They are role models. We want the students to see themselves in these women who are here to guide them, so that they can pursue careers in STEM.” Women still lag behind men in the STEM fields in this country. While women earn 58 percent of all bachelor’s degrees, they earn only 36 percent of bachelor’s degrees in STEM, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Jessica Ilagan, a chemical engineer at PPPL and a memb er of t he PPPL Wo m e n i n E n g i n e e r i n g group, was demonstrating to a gathering of students a model of a solenoid, like the one that powers the PPPL fusion reactor. “A lot of kids didn’t know about this, and they were amazed by what they have found out,” Ilagan said. “I wish there had been something like this in my high school. It would have ignited my interest in science. Young women need role models.”

Talk on the LOOP System At Meeting of FOPOS

On Sunday, April 14 at 3 p.m., Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) will host their annual meeting featuring speakers Alicia Forero and Lexus Woznicki of TerraCycle. They will speak about the LOOP system presented at the Davos Economic Conference, which substitutes durable, reusable, or completely recyclable product packaging for the current wasteful and increasingly unworkable system. Attendance is free, however, a limited amount of seats are available. Pre-registration via Eventbrite.com is required. Search Friends of Princeton Open Space. The deadline to reserve tickets is April 11. Refreshments will be served. The event location is Mountain Lakes House, 57 Mountain Avenue. Founded in 1969, FOPOS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to acquiring open space in Princeton for preservation, protecting natural resources, maintaining accessibility to trails, and providing environmental education. As part of their mission, they work with groups in the Princeton region to support efforts to preserve and protect open space and the environment.

Mia: “I learned that it’s wasted so easily and that to produce one egg, 50 gallons is used.” Sydney: “It really is so limited, and we should be mindful of conserving it.” Bailey: “I learned specifically about vernal pools in the Sourland Mountains. They are there for the spring months and then they dry up. The frogs lay their eggs there and the water drying up is nature’s way of protecting those eggs from fish.” — Mia Taylor, Somerset; Sydney Drake, Morrisville, Pa.; and Bailey Adams, Hamilton

Kiara: “I learned that even though the Earth is largely made up of water, only one percent of that water can be used for drinking, so we need to be very careful of how much water we use.” Kalani: “The Earth is covered in 80 percent water.” —Kiara Thomas-Brown and Kalani Champion, Burlington

MENS & WOMENS “Bodies of water have macroinvertebrates, and the makeup of the organisms that live in a particular body of water are a direct reflection of the water’s chemicals. So by looking at the macroinvertebrates, you can get a really good look at the health of the waterway.” —Sonja Michaluk, Titusville

Sylvia: “The Watershed has taught us so much about eating organic produce.” Elena: “We need to be mindful not to do things like wash the car in the driveway, or use pesticides and chemicals for your grass, because the runoff goes into the sewer systems and eventually makes its way back into our water sources.” Rob: “How harmful the use of bottled water is for the environment.” Victoria: “We don’t use any pesticides in our lawn because we have a pond right near the yard.” —Sylvia Gomez-Sichel and Elena, Rob, and Victoria Sichel, Princeton

Rider Contract continued from page one

T he statement contin ues, “The ability to modify, change, or discontinue academic offerings and programs because they are deemed substantially impracticable, economically infeasible, or would substantially adversely affect WCC or Rider is the same right under which Rider has operated Westminster under the terms of the Merger Agreement entered into between Rider and Westminster in 1991. It is irresponsible to suggest that Rider entered into an agreement that allows the buyer to close Westminster at any time.” Rider’s chapter of the American Association of

University Professors (AAUP) expressed “shock and outrage” about the language in the documents. “This latest revelation fits a continuing pattern of deceit,” said longtime Westminster faculty member Joel Phillips. “If the Princeton Theological Seminary and Westminster Foundation weren’t suing Rider, we would never have learned of this provision until it was too late.” Jeff Halpern, the union’s contract administrator, said, “For more than nine months, Rider President Dell’Omo and the board of trustees have been assuring the University community, as well as the courts and the media, that there are iron-clad guarantees for the long-term

continuation of Westminster. Now we learn that in fact they negotiated an agreement that allows for the immediate closure of the school. In my opinion, that goes beyond a simple lack of forthrightness to a serious breach of trust.” New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewall is due to report today, March 27, to Chancery Division Judge Paul Innes, who is overseeing the challenges to the Westminster sale. On April 15, he will hold a meeting with all of the attorneys involved, according to Afran. Afran stressed that Westminster is not shutting down. “It is only a danger if it is sold, and that’s why we’re fighting this transaction,” he said. “We think this demonstrates

that the transaction cannot go forward because it would allow the possibility of the complete loss of this college. We now have confirmation that this is just a land grab.” —Anne Levin

Karen Uhlenbeck Wins 2019 Abel Prize For “Pioneering Achievements” in Math Karen Keskulla Uhlenbeck, current visitor in the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) School of Mathematics and a visiting senior research scholar at Princeton University, has been awarded the 2019 Abel Prize in mathematics “for her pioneering achievements in geometric partial differential equations, gauge theory, and integrable systems, and for the fundamental impact of her work on analysis, geometry, and mathematical physics,” according to the Abel Committee. Uhlenbeck, professor emerita of mathematics and Sid W. Richardson regents chair at the University of Texas at Austin, is the first woman ever to receive the Abel

Prize, which is considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematicians. “It’s a great honor to be the first woman to get the Abel Prize,” she said. “It is also a great responsibility. Many, many thanks to the few remarkable pioneers before me and to the many women coming along behind me — first slowly and now in great numbers. I am in the first generation of women who could expect professional advancement, maybe not at that time quite equal to men, but the doors were no longer locked.” She continued, “In the ’60s and ’70s, when the legal barriers to advancement were struck down, we expected women and minorities to

march through the doors and take their rightful place (at least in academia). It proved not so simple, but tremendous progress has been made, at least for women. The young women mathematicians of today are a varied, impressive pool of talent. I hope in my own way I have joined others in prying those locked doors open, and in keeping them open wide!” Expressing her gratitude for the prize, Uhlenbeck concluded, “Research mathematics is but a small part of human endeavor, but very rewarding and beautiful to those who gain entry. By some quirk of the human intellect, it is also very useful. I am grateful to the Norwegian Academy for recognizing this.”

I A S D i r e c tor Rob b e r t Dijkgraaf said, “The Institute is thrilled that Karen Uhlenbeck has been recognized with the 2019 Abel Prize for her transformative work across mathematical disciplines, from minimal surfaces to gauge theory, and for her foundational contributions to the field of geometric analysis. A leading mathematician of our time and a member of the IAS community since 1979, Karen has played a leading role in advancing mathematics research, championing diversity, and inspiring the next generation of women to become leaders in the field.” Bestowed by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the Abel Prize is an international award t h at ack nowle d g e s outstanding scientific work in the field of mathematics and comes with a monetary award equivalent to about $700,000. Uhlenbeck will receive the prize in Oslo, Norway on May 21 from His Majesty King Harald V. Since the Abel Prize was first awarded in 2003, 18 of the 20 recipients have been affiliated with IAS as faculty or members, including the 2018 honoree, Robert Langlands, professor emeritus in the School of Mathematics. Uhlenbeck first came to the IAS as a member in 1979, returned as a member in 1995, served as a visiting professor in 1997-98 and 2012, and has been a visitor since 2014. She was awarded an honorary degree from Princeton University in 2012. A founder of the IAS Park City Mathematics Institute, a summer program that

brings together mathematicians and math teachers, Uhlenbeck also cofounded the IAS Women and Mathematics program and established the program on the IAS campus in 1994. It is a program designed to address gender imbalance and success rates among women in the mathematics field. “I am aware of the fact that I am a role model for

young women in mathematics,” she said as quoted in a Princeton University press release. “It’s hard to be a role model, however, because what you really need to do is show students how imperfect people can be and still succeed … I may be a wonderful mathematician and famous because of it, but I’m also very human.” —Donald Gilpin YEARS OF MUSIC MAKING | 2018-2019 SEASON

Expressing confidence in the new PHS leader, PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane stated, “Jessica has shown her ability in nearly eight years as an assistant principal to care deeply about our students, to effectively lead high-level change, and to get things done on a daily basis.” Cochrane went on to emphasis some of the goals that Baxter and the district will be pursuing. “She is a powerful voice for equity in our schools; she truly understands the issues of wellness faced by our students; and she has been instrumental in supporting teachers in their shift to more authentic, problem-based learning. Equally significant, she believes in schools as places of celebration. I look forward to working with Ms. Baxter and her entire team to build on the steps already

taken at PHS — and to do so in partnership with our community and with a renewed sense of joy for students, staff, and families.” Baxter is currently the district anti-bullying coordinator and president of the Princeton Administrators Association. She is also responsible for developing the school’s master schedule each year, and she co-chaired the committee that recommended the later start time and a new bell schedule at PHS. Baxter holds an M.A. in educational leadership from the College of Saint Elizabeth and an M.A in Applied Linguistics, and a B.A. in Spanish Education from Montclair State University. Fluent in Spanish, she was a Spanish and ESL teacher at Hanover Park High School before coming to PHS in 2012. Baxter described revamping the PHS ESL program to make sure it best serves the students

and families who come from other countries as one of her greatest accomplishments in making the school more inclusive and welcoming. “I’m definitely proud of the ESL program,” she said. “We have a welcome center for students new to the country. We have different types of classes and counseling services to help them acclimate better to a new country, a new school, a new culture.” Baxter stressed the importance of building trust in developing relationships and making PHS more accessible to ESL students and their families. “I think I’m a good listener,” she said. “One of my goals as assistant principal was to be visible and accessible. People know that they don’t need an appointment to see me. They can come by my office. They can drop in and see me.” Cochrane added, “She is the right person at the right

time to help our high school take the next steps in becoming a beacon of innovation, partnership, and care.” Baxter, who lives in Hackettstown with her two daughters and enjoys reading and hiking when she can find the time, reemphasized the priorities that will help direct her work as PHS principal. “I want this to be an inclusive school,” she said. “When kids, families, and teachers walk through the door, I want them to feel that this is their place, that they belong here. When people feel a sense of belonging, that comes with empowerment, and they want to keep things great or make things better because they care about them.” —Donald Gilpin

Dog Licensing Campaign By Dog owners seeking a dog license must fill out a Dog Princeton Animal Control

Princeton is reminding dog owners to obtain a dog license this year. The State of New Jersey mandates all dog owners license their dog(s) that are seven months or older. This allows the Princeton Animal Control Officer to ensure that any lost dog is protected and guided back to his or her appropriate owner as well as makes certain that the dogs have received annual rabies vaccination. In Princeton, the license costs $20 for a spayed/neutered dog and $23 for a nonspayed/unneutered dog. The license is valid for up to one year. Dog licenses are available by mail or in person at Witherspoon Hall, Clerks Office.

Society, the WitherspoonJackson Development Corporation, and the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association. “Our initial planning meeting was attended by a cross-section of individuals from various backgrounds and cultures,” said Newlin. Neighbors will be urged to get out early on Saturday raking leaves, cutting grass, sweeping sidewalks, planting flowers, and more. “We’re hoping the city will help us with taking large items people don’t want anymore, and can put at the curb,” said Newlin. “We’ll also have young people and neighbors going into homes where elderly or disabled people need assistance with things.” Sunday’s activities start with the unveiling of the 20th Historic District Heritage Tour and plaques, at Studio Hillier on Witherspoon Street, followed by a guided tour of 26 sites led by historian and neighborhood resident Shirley Satterfield. Yard sales, music, and displays by various ethnic groups are planned. Businesses in the neighborhood will be encouraged to participate and offer incentives for shoppers. Hot dogs and ice cream will

be served at the Mary Moss Playground, where free plants will be available for residents to install in front of their homes. Churches will be open, and Newlin is hopeful that some homes will be, too. “We hope to get some of the older homes as well as some of the new ones that have been recently built,” he said. “There is a real variety.” Home to minority families for over a century, the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood was named a historic district in April 2016 after nearly a year of debate within the town. Newlin grew up on Birch Avenue, next door to the house he lives in today. The house previously belonged to his grandparents. “When I was a child, the people who lived here were African American and Italian American, pretty exclusively,” he said. “That’s changed drastically. Now, we’re the most diverse, eclectic neighborhood in town. We’ve experienced growing pains, and the high cost of living in Princeton has been devastating to many families.” In addition to Birch Avenue and parts of Witherspoon Street, the district includes Green, Quarry, Maclean,

The Fund for Irish Studies at Princeton University presents “Irish Emigrant Girls in New York,” a lecture by Maureen O’Rourke Murphy, on Friday, March 29 at 4:30 p.m. in the James Stewart Film Theater at 185 Nassau Street. Murphy is past president of the American Conference for Irish Studies, past chair of the International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures, director of the New York State Great Irish Famine Curriculum Project (2001), and historian of the Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park City, part of the spring 2019 Fund for Irish Studies event series. A unique aspect of Irish migration to the U.S. was the predominance of young women traveling alone. Between 1883 and 1908, 307,823 young Irish women arrived at the Port of New York. Most of the girls who were not met by family or friends were assisted by the Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary for the Protection of Irish Immigrant Girls. The talk is free and open to the public.

A nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about climate change has grown from local beginnings to a presence on the national stage. C-Change Conversations, founded in 2017 by Princeton area residents Kathleen Biggins, Carrie Dyckman, Pam Mount, and Katy Kinsolving, engages members of the public who might be resistant to the idea that the climate is in dangerous transition by keeping the conversation free of political leanings. “There is no partisan battling,” said Biggins. “And we don’t present ourselves as environmentalists. We’re dealing with facts, not making issues.” Larry Tritel With 13 volunteers, the organization has presented to some 5,300 people in 25 states across the country. They are booked in private homes, Rotary clubs, church basements, and anywhere else they can pass along their message that the future of the planet holds serious challenges. C-Change Conversations has been honored locally with the 2018 Centennial Award for Social Responsibility from the Princeton Family YMCA, and the Edwin W. Stiles Award for Environmental Leadership from The Watershed Institute. Last December, Biggins served on a panel with John Holdren, President Obama’s science advisor, other leaders from the National Institute of Health, and a climate change reporter from The Washington Post. With a background is in communications, Biggins

started to become aware, in the first decade of the century, that the media wasn’t covering climate change issues. After the devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, she and her like-minded friends knew it was time to take action. “We heard from scientists that the hurricane had been exacerbated by climate change,” she said. “We realized how bad it really was.” “We knew that our challenge was to wake people up, but not turn them off,” added Dyckman. The volunteers star ted a speaker series in private homes. Speakers have come from such fields as agriculture, economics, energy, geopolitical security, investments and business, public policy, and science journalism. Former New Jersey Governor Christine Whitman, Munich RE climate expert Peter Hoeppe, former NRG Energy CEO David Crane, and Environmental Defense Fund Vice President Elizabeth Thompson are among them. The group next developed the C-Change Primer, a nonpartisan, multimedia seminar and discussion that they have taken around the country. Since each of the founders is a member of a garden club, the clubs were a logical place to start. The clubs took notice, and C-Change has been invited to open the national convention of U.S. garden clubs for the past three years, Biggins said. The biggest challenge has been getting audiences skeptical about climate change to take the issue seriously. In Florida, Virginia, North Car-

olina, and Kentucky, among other states, they have encountered people with conservative views. “The reactions have been amazing,” said Biggins. “We present in such a way that it’s really hard to deny the facts. We got a standing ovation from a very conservative crowd in Columbia, South Caroina.” D yck m a n ad de d, “It’s changing. They are questioning what they believe and what they’ve been told to believe. At first, people saw it as something for extreme liberals. But we don’t see it that way. As messengers, we’re reaching out to people who are like us, not scientists. The point is that we don’t tell them they have to say that it doesn’t exist. They just have to be cleareyed about the risk. And it seems to really resonate.” The group have hope that climate change “can be kept within a range we can live with and still prosper,” said Biggins. “How do we stay as close as we can to the goals?” Biggins recently got some encouragement from a conservative friend in Florida who attended a presentation. “When I said to her, ‘We want to be the pebble who starts the ripple,’ she said ‘You’re the boulder that starts and avalanche,’” Biggins said. “Coming from her, that was so validating.” —Anne Levin

YWCA Director of Operations Wants Map For Reparative Justice

To the Editor: Organizations in and around Princeton do a good job providing opportunities for residents to come together around issues of race. I have attended Civil Rights Commission meetings, Princeton Public School District-led community forums, and Not In Our Town conversations. YWCA Princeton (where I work) founded the nownational annual STAND AGAINST RACISM signature campaign. We also hold Thought Provoking Talks throughout the year. The Princeton Public Library regularly hosts race-related lectures and McCarter’s recent run of The Niceties could not have put a finer point on race and representation. Princeton University recognizes and rewards high school students making a difference in their communities with the Princeton Price in Race Relations. When there was a hint that a white nationalist group might march in Princeton this January, our collective response was so swift that the white nationalist group did not show up. But something is missing. If you have attended any of these events — and maybe even if you haven’t — the need for more is palpable. Talk of reparative justice abounds, but I had not seen a map on how to get there until now. In response to the 2017 white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Layla F. Saad create a 28-day online, real time challenge for those who hold white privilege. Ms. Saad’s challenge turned into a workbook on how white and white passing individuals can take responsibility for dismantling the way that white supremacy manifests both within us and within our communities. Last month, Judy Hutton, CEO of Princeton YWCA, invited director-level staff members who hold white privilege to undertake the work in Layla F. Saad’s workbook Me and White Supremacy. We met weekly as a group (using The Circle Way, the only approved method of doing this work in a group setting) and checked

We talked about fighting the impulse to not dive as deep when the work got more challenging; we watched videos about the commonality of the pain we were feeling; we reminded each other that our discomfort was nothing compared to what black people, indigenous people, and people of color feel all the time; we acknowledged the need in us all to continually return to this work, that it wasn’t done and likely won’t ever be.

Suggesting Ways to Eliminate Pollution of Air, Water, Land

To the Editor: I would like to join my voice to that of Heidi Fichtenbaum on the subject of Earth health [“Plastic Can Be Recycled Only a Limited Number of Times,” Mailbox, March 20]. Today is the day to act and to change. There is no more time to discuss, consider, etc. the harmful impact we are all making on the environment. The effects of climate change, including extinction of animals and health concerns, are upon us right now. The good part is that each of us can take action immediately to lessen if not eliminate any air pollution, water pollution, land pollution that we are making. Example: for a mix of 50 percent water and 50 percent vinegar we can clean our houses safely — floors, windows, bathrooms, and more. Use less water for showers, dishwashing, brushing teeth. Regarding the use of tote bags that many stores sell, please check the country of origin. For example, in one local food store I saw reusable grocery bags (great!) which were made in Vietnam (What are their environmental laws and labor laws?). So the fact that the negative environmental impact is not taking place locally but across the world, is that any better? Are you painting a bedroom? The good part is that the brushes do not need to be cleaned after each use; simply put the brush into a closed zip lock bag and pull it out the next day/time you need it. Let us think about “yard waste” — leaves, branches, and so forth. Sure, it may not be traditional to leave the leaves on our lawns (to break down, biodegrade, and feed the earth again.) But the environmental impact of leaf blowers, yard waste collection trucks is seriously damaging the health of the planet and human and animal health also. Earth Day is acknowledged on a special day in April. We need, however, to remake our lives so that how we live helps to preserve the natural environment as well as our health, our wallets, and

many other things that I am sure each reader of this note can add to. When each of us was born we inherited an environment that was already damaged. We do not need to continue to do that. Each of us can take action, make a decision right now for a change. Try it! GINA LAIDLAW Cherry Valley Road

Michelle Pirone Lambros Stands Apart from the Pack of Council Candidates

To the Editor: The recent PCDO Endorsement meeting seemed to me to be a surprise for all who attended. We learned that it’s an even playing field, as all three candidates received the support, but not the endorsement vote, which required a 60 percent threshold. Clearly there are issues that are the reason for the lack of endorsement. For me, Michelle Pirone Lambros stands apart from the pack, as she would bring strong qualifications and a different skill set to Council. For example, Michelle would be an excellent negotiator for the town in any large-scale financial agreements that arise (most notably with the University). She also understands how to rezone to create the affordable housing the working and middle classes so desperately need. Finally, she was the only candidate paying attention and speaking to the hidden residents of Princeton, the working and undocumented Princetonians, whose day-to-day needs for basic services and decent living conditions are, for me, a higher priority than what can go into curbside composting. Michelle is a candidate with a impressive and nuanced understanding of the issues in our town, and she has the creative ideas and know how to actually make these changes happen.

To the Editor: Princeton obviously has the most special of reasons to join others around the world to celebrate Pi Day on March 14, our Albert Einstein’s birthday. And how we celebrate this day in our town is clearly fun for all its participants. But I have a concern about what appears to be a uniquely American custom we have adopted in our celebration. “Pie Throwing” in 2019? Notwithstanding the fun had by those involved and the positive motivations of all concerned, is this really the image we wish to portray to our children, to others around the world? In a world in which hunger remains an issue, in a week in which we observe the suffering in Mozambique from its cyclone? Having experienced hunger as a child, I’m sorry, such a custom just doesn’t work for me in 2019. For what it is worth… URSELA TAYLOR Caldwell Drive

Letter to Mayor Liz Lempert Points Out Other Area Traffic Issues

To the Mayor: As a resident of Harrison Street and knowing or the traffic problems on our street for 50-plus years, I was heartened to see another citizen of Princeton express concerns about the upcoming problems with the closure of Alexander Road. Unfortunately, Mr. Medvin’s letter [Letter to Mayor Lempert on Route 1 Traffic Issue, Mailbox, March 13] addressed only part of the problem — exiting Princeton. Not addressed were: 1. The problems on Route 1 of northbound traffic trying to make left turns into Princeton and the inadequate traffic jug-handles at Washington and Harrison. Presently, at rush hours, both of these exits back up onto Route 1, reducing that roadway to two lanes (or less). 2. Left turns on Harrison Street, both inbound and outbound. Again, presently at rush hours these turns cause backups of two blocks or more. 3. The already heavy traffic problems during rush hours, both in and outbound on Routes 206 and Princeton Pike. I do hope that your “discussions” with NJDOT go far beyond tinkering with the timing of traffic signals on Route 1, or there will be very serious impacts on Princeton residents, Princeton merchants, and those who commute to work in the community.

Urging Council to Resist CRC’s Gender-Neutral Signage Idea

To the Editor: I learned from Donald Gilpin’s article, “CRC Proposes Inclusive Workplace Policies” [Town Topics,March 6, pg. one] that Princeton’s Civil Rights Commission (CRC) has recommended to the town Council a number of measures to make Princeton a more welcoming place for people who consider themselves lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ). I’ve read the CRC’s recommendations, one of which is that “Princeton require all municipal offices and businesses in town to convert all single stall facilities to all gender restrooms.” The recommendation refers to a sample ordinance that requires the replacement of gender-specific signage with gender-neutral signage on single-occupancy restrooms. Implementing this recommendation would be problematic in at least these two ways: A. It would compel speech, which would be illiberal, and unwelcome to those who prefer to label their restrooms differently; B. Concepts of gender have become so fluid that “genderspecific” could be taken to mean almost anything, sowing confusion and inconsistency. Therefore, I encourage the town Council to resist the temptation to dictate to businesses and places of public accommodation how they must label their restrooms. MARTIN ERHARDT Nassau Street

Informing Readers That PHS Students Do More Than Protest

BOOK REVIEW

Sitting on Kafka’s Left Arm: A Journey Through the Diaries

ay you’re on a dream tour of literary capitals. Instead of London, you get off the train in the ramshackle world of Dickens. Instead of Paris, you disembark in the swarming, exciting metropolis of Balzac. Each time your expectations will be satsfied and exceeded by a variety of metropolitan possibilities. But if the train stops at Kafka, it’s another, darker story. The skies will be grey, if not drizzling, the wind will be stiff and harsh, the station will have a dreary, haunted look, and two men in overcoats will intercept you before you have a chance to get your bearings. They want your papers, only you have the wrong papers it seems. But who’s complaining? This is the scene the guidebook promised. It’s only a dream, so enjoy your stay in Kafka, even if you don’t get out alive or in your right mind. But imagine arriving in the sunlit splendor of another city with the same name, the station lined with smiling booksellers whose carts are stocked with volumes rich and strange. The station master not only shakes your hand, he gives you a hug. Everyone’s glad to see you. The girl driving the cab that takes you to your hotel is unthinkably charming, speaks English with an adorable accent, and offers to show you around town (by now the rain is gently falling), no strings attached, no design on your wallet. Would you be disappointed? Ask for your money back? Well, maybe. Inspired by a Mistake Just putting Kafka’s name at the top of this column is the equivalent of saying, “Close the curtains and prepare to be unnerved.” And it’s true that I’m returning to what might be called the scene of the crime, since a mistake is what set everything in motion. In my March 13 piece on Stanley Corngold’s new book Walter Kaufmann:Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic, I incorrectly attributed a quotation from Kafka to the “Letter to His Father” when in fact, the passage comes from Dearest Father (1953), a collection of writings centered on that famously unsent letter. My atonement has been to read around in Kafka’s short fiction, sample some chapters from Amerika, his unfinished first novel (as are they all), and, in particular, plunge at random into The Diaries of Franz Kafka, 1914-1923, edited by his close friend and executor Max Brod. As with the diary entries, I found the quotation in question at random, as if by ac-

cident, in the notes at the back of Corngold’s book. Here it is again: “I feel too tightly constricted in everything that signifies Myself: even the eternity that I am is too tight for me. But if, for instance, I read a good book, say, an account of travels, it rouses me, satisfies me, suffices me.... From a certain stage of knowledge on, weariness, insufficiency, constriction, selfcontempt must all vanish: namely at the point where I have the strength to recognize as my own nature what previously was something alien to myself that refreshed me, satisfied, liberated, and exalted me.” What struck me about the passage was how open and responsive Kafka seems even as he speaks of eternity, constriction and self-contempt. He appears to be a most likeable fellow, maybe not “the most happy,” but interesting, complicated, and worth getting to know outside the boundaries of his fiction. That’s the appeal of the Diaries, the “thirteen quarto notebooks” Max Brod describes in his postscript. While I’m doing my best to avoid comparing the experience to a trip (nothing psychedelic intended), in a way that’s what it’s like and that may be why I began with the imaginary train ride. As Brod points out, in the travel entries “a relatively brighter mood prevails,” and “occurences and experiences are noted in bare matter-of-fact fashion ... just as a tourist would do.” It’s necessary for Brod to add, “Of course, this tourist is Franz Kafka, and though his manner of observing things seems thoroughly natural, in a mysterious way it departs from everything customary.” Here’s an example of how it is if you’re on board with the diaries. On Feb. 2, 1922, after referring to an imminent “decision between insanity and security,” Kafka makes note of the “happiness of being with people,” and sets the sentence off, all by itself. In the next entry, Feb. 3: “Almost impossible to sleep; plagued by dreams, as if they were being scratched

on me, on a stubborn material.” (If you’ve just been reading “In the Penal Colony,” it’s almost a given that you’re going to envision the marathon execution in which the needles of the harrow finish “the first draft of the inscription” on the condemned man’s back.) Kafka’s thinking of people again two days later: “Escape them. Any kind of nimble leap. At home beside the lamp in the silent room. Incautious to say this. It calls them out of the woods as if one had lit the lamp to help them find the way.” Imagine that beautifully phrased moment in Kafka’s private life being consigned to flames, never to be read by people in the 21st or any other century but for Brod’s refusal to obey his friend’s death-bed decree to destroy all his writings. The Red Cross Nurse One night before I went to sleep I read and reread this entry referring to a late April 1915 journey by train to Vienna and Budapest: “Red Cross nurse. Very certain and determined. Traveled as if she were a whole family sufficient to itself. She smoked cigarettes and walked up and down the corridor like a father; like a boy she jumped up on the seat to get something out of her knapsack; like a mother she carefully sliced the meat, the bread, the orange; like a flirtatious girl — what she really was — she showed off her pretty little feet, her yellow boots and the yellow stockings on her trim legs against the opposite seat.” Though he can see she “would have no objection to being spoken to,” Kafka is reluctant to ask her questions (“as she expected me to”), in spite of the fact that he “rather liked her.” There it is, people come and go, people he rather likes (his sister didn’t like her at all), and when he finally speaks, it’s “a stupid remark, but one very characteristic of me — servile, sly, irrelevant, impersonal, unsympathetic,

untrue, fetched from far off, from some ultimate diseased tendency.” The nurse “did not hear the remark, or ignored it. My sister naturally understood it quite in the sense in which I made it, and by laughing made it her own.” That night I had pleasant dreams for the first time in months, the last time having been after reading Blake’s Songs of Innocence at bedtime. Otherwise the dreams have all been about small frustrations and misconceptions, all in the shadow of the abiding frustration, the Great Mistake of Election Night 2016. On Strindberg’s Breast I thought again of Kafka’s words about how a good book rouses, satisfies, and suffices him when reading two entries from early May 1915. On May 3, writing of Strindberg’s book Separated (presumably one of the autobiographical works said to have had an influence on Kafka): “what he calls beautiful, when I relate it to myself, disgusts me.” On May 4, still about Strindberg: “I don’t read him to read him, but rather to lie on his breast. He holds me on his left arm like a child. I sit there like a man on a statue. Ten times I almost slip off, but at the eleventh attempt I sit there firmly, feel secure, and have a wide view.” So here we sit on Kafka’s left arm, like children, close to but never quite slipping off. The Great Mistake Given what’s been going on in the socalled real world since Sunday’s bombshell, I’m thinking of a political parable that might begin “Once upon a time a Great Mistake was Made,” then maybe something about the nation anxiously awaiting a Great Correction in the form of a Report that, if the author of The Trial were writing it, would never be delivered, or else would be unintelligible or inconclusive or put in the hands of an official hired to further amplify the mistake. n Diaries 1914-1923, among the alternate endings for “In the Penal Colony,” this is what Kafka jotted down on August 8, 1917, an entry that has resonance in the interminable aftermath of November 2016: “Had something been forgotten? A word? A turn? An adjustment? Very likely. Very probably. A gross error in the calculation, a fundamental misconception, the whole thing is going wrong. But who will set it right? Where is the man who will set it right?” —Stuart Mitchner

New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Features Horn Section in Concert of 19th-Century Music

ew Jersey Symphony Orchestra launched into spring this past weekend with a performance at Richardson Auditorium that was threefold — presenting an audience favorite, a monumental cello concerto, and a work showing Music Director Xian Zhang’s development of the ensemble since taking the NJSO helm. Friday night’s concert of “Zhang Conducts Schubert and Dvorák” was heavy on concerto soloists, and their collective technical abilities were well appreciated by the Richardson audience. Ninteenth-century composer Robert Schumann’s Konzertstück for Four Horns in F Major had never been performed by the NJSO before this past weekend; this three-movement work placed the entire NJSO horn section front and center to showcase the capabilities and rich variety of colors available from the instrument. Horn players Chris Komer, Andrea Menousek, Lawrence DiBello, and Eric Reed played from the front of the stage, allowing the audience to hear Schumann’s motivic solo writing travel up and down the row of horns. Zhang began the first movement in a lively tempo, with a fanfare in well-tuned thirds from the horn soloists. Throughout the Konzertstück, Zhang kept the orchestral background clean, as horn solos were often answered by the Orchestra. Kathleen Nester’s piccolo playing added a sharply-defined color to the instrumental sound. The darker second movement romanze was played in a more pensive style, with the four horn soloists providing a chorale-like texture. Both Orchestra and soloists played uniform crescendi, and Zhang tapered the sections within the movement well. Komer, Menousek, DiBello, and Reed well handled the tricky fast-moving motives in the closing movement, emphasizing the hunting character of Schumann’s writing. The clean runs from the horns were complemented by lyrical melodies from the Orchestra, and the four players interacted well with each other. The trumpet section’s use of rotary trumpets enhanced the classical roots of this piece, adding a mellow color to the brass orchestration. Zhang and the NJSO continued their early 19th-century journey with Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 — his “unfinished” symphony, which has always been a

crowd-pleaser. Beginning with rich lower strings, the ensemble maintained a Viennese lilt to the first movement, playing the iconic theme gracefully. Zhang took her time leading the Orchestra through the melodic sections, creating dramatic silences and bringing out the off-beat accents. She built crescendi well to contrast with lyrical passages, with even the lower strings giving direction to pizzicato measures. Both movements of this work were marked by elegant solos from oboist Lillian Copeland and clarinetist Karl Herman. Particularly in the second movement, Zhang asked the first violins and solo clarinetist Herman to play so softly the sound was almost imperceptible. Delicate interplay between flutist Bart Feller and oboist Copeland contrasted well with the rich elegant melodies played by the full cello section. Like a quartet of horns, the cello is an instrument which also does not often come to the forefront of an orchestra. German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser has made an award-winning career expanding the cello range and repertory by commissioning new works for the instrument as well as performing blockbuster symphonic works. Moser and the NJSO joined forces to present Antonín Dvorák’s 1895 Cello Concerto in B minor, a threemovement work composed at a time when orchestral works ranged from large-scale to colossal. he NJSO began the concerto in spirited anticipation, with a long orchestral introduction chock full of musical material. Moser immediately became immersed in a cello line which took off in quick fashion, as he communicated well with the conductor and Orchestra players. The first movement was particularly marked by a graceful duet between Moser and flutist Feller, as well as a trio of clean horns. Moser played the sweet song Dvorák incorporated into the second movement with great emotion, answered by a pair of clarinets in thirds. Moser was a very physical player, often rocking with the music yet still capable of executing extended double stops complete with trills. Moser also brought out well the Gypsy feel of the final movement, closing a concert which demonstrated well the hidden depth of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra from instruments not often featured. —Nancy Plum

SPRING CABARET: On Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m., Katie Welsh performs “The Broadway Musical Heroine,” the first of her Spring Cabaret Concert Series at the Arts Council of Princeton.

Spring Cabaret Series Summer Intensive, from Presents Katie Welsh June 24 through July 26.

Welsh, who is a graduate of Princeton University, takes the audience on a journey through the decades, from the 1940s to the 2010s, on a quest to understand how Broadway’s leading ladies have changed over time. What makes a Rodgers and Hammerstein heroine different from a Sondheim heroine? How do favorite female characters navigate the world of relationships in similar and different ways? Welsh considers t hese questions as she sings songs from Oklahoma !, South Pacific, Bells Are Ringing, Sweet Charity, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, Les Miserables, The Light in the Piazza, and more. Welsh first developed the concept of “ infor mat ive cabaret” for her senior thesis at Princeton. She shapes her patter to be informative and educational, giving her audience the backstory and context of each song, occasionally quoting scholars and journalists, touching on the history of musical theater, and leading fun moments of musical analysis. Later in the series, Welsh will present “Love…According to The Great American Songbook” on May 11 and “The Music of Richard Rodgers,” a benefit for the Arts Council of Princeton on June 15. Pianist David Pearl, who collaborates frequently with musicians in the jazz and classical community, will be Welsh’s accompanist. In addition to performing in venues and at private events in the Princeton area, Katie has also been seen in New York at Feinstein’s/54 Below, Don’t Tell Mama, The Duplex Cabaret Theatre, the Metropolitan Room, BroadwayCon, and the Princeton Club of New York. Tickets to each event are $15 and are available at Eventbrite.com or for cash at the door. The Arts Council of Princeton is at 102 Witherspoon Street.

Running now through May 17, the West Windsor Arts Council will showcase the work of many of its member artists in the exhibition “Fiction: The Art Show.” The theme was chosen in conjunction with the spring theatrical performance of Fiction by Steven Dietz and produced by the Pegasus Theatre Company, to be staged at the West Windsor Arts Center. The play blurs t he boundar ies bet ween fact and fiction, life and the written word, and so members were likewise invited to submit artwork based on the concept of real vs. imaginary, the merging of visual arts and literary arts, and the image with the written word. An opening reception will be held Sunday, March 31, 4 - 6 p.m. Artists will be on hand at the opening to discuss their work. The juror, Michael Joseph, is a rare librarian at Rutgers University and the founding director of the New Jersey Book Arts Symposium. Joseph has published in the fields of children’s literature, book arts, and poetry, in particular the poetry of Robert Graves. In collaboration with various artists, Joseph has written fourteen artists books, text for a series of lyrical compositions by the late Herber Rothgarber, and exhibited original artwork in group shows. The exhibition consists of 39 artworks, representing 26 artists, three of which were selected by the juror to be awarded prizes for their outstanding work and relevance to the show theme. Best in Show, with a $100 prize, went to Adeline at the Window by Meta Dunkly Arnold; second place, with a $50 prize, went to Tender is the Night: An Homage to F. Scott Fitzgerald by Brigitte A. Calderon; and third place, with a WWAC membership, was awarded to Midnight in the Garden of Art and Science by Lucretia E. McGuff-Silverman. Arnold makes found-object assemblages. Her background in English literature lends a narrative quality to many of her pieces, and her work as an educator inspires her to try to capture the ex-

citement of discovering new things. As she explains, “Many of my assemblage pieces are kinetic and interactive, inviting the audience to share my creative process by going on a “treasure hunt” of their own.” Ar tists featured in the show also include Zakia Ahmed (Princeton Junction), Sherri Andrews (Cranbury), J.Bettina (Princeton Junction), Clara Sue Beym (Bayville), Margaret Kalvar Bushnell ( Princeton Junction), Tom Chiola (Trenton), Joann Donatiello (Princeton Junction), Ilene Dube (Princeton Junction), Johanna Ericson (Atlantic Highlands), Carlo Fiorentini (Princeton), Alice Grebanier (Branchburg), Joy Kreves (Ewing), Renee Ku m ar ( We s t Wi n d s or ) , Eleni Zatz Litt (Princeton), Mark Moscarello (Bordentown), Renata Surel Piccione (Princeton), Bill Plank ( L aw rencev ille ), Thomas Shanahan (Hamilton), Margaret Simpson (Hamilton), Janice Strickland (Edison), Cathy Tsao (East Windsor), Barbara Weinfield ( Princeton Junction), and Andrew Werth (Princeton Junction).

“Fiction: The Art Show” At WW Arts Council

PU Visual Arts Program Presents Senior Exhibits “PAINTING FOR THE JOY OF IT”: An exhibition of oil paintings by Heather Stoddart Barros The Program in Visual

Arts at Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts presents a series of nine solo and four group exhibitions by seniors in the Program through May 3 in galleries on the Princeton campus. The series of exhibitions, which range widely in media and ideas explored, are among the requirements of seniors in the program who are either majoring in visual arts through a collaborative program of the Lewis Center and the Department of Art and Archaeology or are majoring in another area and pursuing a certificate in visual arts. The seniors are required to create a body of work generally organized around a central idea or area of investigation and present that work in a cohesive exhibition, with accompanying mentorship and critiques by their advisors and other faculty in the program. “This year’s seniors have created a particularly eclectic and wide-ranging body of work,” notes Martha Friedman, director of the Program in Visual Arts. “Running through May 3, one can stop by the Hurley, Hagan, or Lucas galleries on almost any given day and find themselves exposed to the unique voice of an emerging artist. By visiting the galleries periodically during the thesis exhibitions, one will experience a broad spectrum of perspectives, experiencing a snapshot of our current historical moment viewed through an array of vantage points that only the freshest survey shows can offer.” One show, “Elephant,” by Yuanyuan Zhao, consists of photographs that are derived from poems, folktales, and myths. Populated by intimate family members, these photographs probe different aspects of East Asian identities. In many of her pieces, the subjects are Zhao’s family members and friends. Zhao notes that these subjects are not photographed to emphasize the relationship between the photographer and the photographed, but rather, use their own characters to develop and represent different social roles in their community. Her exhibition will be presented in the Hurley Gallery on April 1 through 5. A show by Kyra Gregory, entitled “The Lady’s Room,” focuses around a bathroom in the house where she grew up which she shared with her mother and older sister. Gregory notes that the bathroom, deemed “The

Lady’s Room” by her mother through a light switch cover she made when Gregory’s family moved into the house, creates an environment of traditional hyper-femininity through its decoration. Gregory says that she will be using collage and woodblock relief printing as modes of deconstruction and subsequent reconstruction of “The Lady’s Room” and thus the definitions of womanhood, gender, and sexuality that live within it. Her exhibition will be presented in the Lucas Gallery on April 22 through 26. The series of 13 exhibitions will primarily be presented at the Lucas Gallery and Hagan Studio at 185 Nassau Street and the Hurley Gallery at the Lewis Arts complex. The Lucas Gallery and Hagan Studio are open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with access from the Williams Street parking lot entrance.

“MYTHIC LAUGHS... MADCAP FUN!

On November 26, 2008, radical Islamists from Pakistan launched a series of coordinated attacks around the city of Mumbai, India, which would claim 174 lives and leave hundreds more wounded. Within hours of the raid, the authorities were able to secure all of the sites except for the legendary Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. The jihadists ostensibly picked the legendary five-star resort as the location for a final showdown because of its image as a getaway spot for rich and famous Westerners. The siege there would last four days, since the local police were outgunned by the terrorists who were heavily armed with bombs, hand grenades, and automatic weapons. Directed by Anthony Maras, Hotel Mumbai is a harrowing docudrama which recreates the horrific events which transpired inside the Taj. In making his movie, the firsttime filmmaker relied heavily on Mumbai Massacre, a 2009 documentary composed of survivors’ recollections. This fictionalized account, which changes names and conflates characters, primarily revolves around the ordeals of Arjun (Dev Patel) and David (Armie Hammer). The former is a selfless Sikh waiter who exhibits extraordinary heroism in an effort to save as many of the hotel’s traumatized guests as possible. And the latter is a frazzled tourist desperate to reunite with his wife (Nazanin Boniadi), baby, and nanny (Tilda Cobham-Hervey).

Besides these protagonists, the film features a profusion of simplistically-drawn supporting players. There’s the Russian playboy (Jason Isaacs); an elitist, world-class chef (Anupam Kher); a deferential butler (Alex Pinder); and so forth. After the ensemble is introduced, the burning question left to be answered is which of these trapped victims will be able to remain undiscovered by the assassins until the Special Forces Unit finally arrives from Delhi, some 800 miles away. The terrorist cell in control of the building is portrayed as religious zealots blinded by the prospect of paradise promised by The Bull (Pawan Singh), the operation’s diabolical mastermind. Yes, the hotel is ultimately retaken and order is restored. Nevertheless, the S.W.A.T. team’s triumph remains overshadowed by the sobering reality of so many lives senselessly lost. In sum, an uplifting tale of heroism and survival, as well as a haunting reminder of the evil that men do. Excellent (H H H H). Rated R for profanity, bloody images, and pervasive violence. Running time: 123 minutes. Production Companies: Thunder Road Pictures/Xeitgeist Entertainment Group/Arclight Films Electric Pictures. Distributor: Bleecker Street. —Kam Williams

Spring Into Health Town Topics

Akin Care Senior Services

Did you know that, although Americans are healthier and living longer than ever before, seniors are outliving their ability to drive safely by an average of 7 to 10 years? They drive less after dark, during rush hour or in bad weather, and avoid difficult roads such as highways and intersections. How many of us have thought of, or planned for even this one eventuality? An Aging in Place Plan is created to help individuals choose where they want to reside and the lifestyle they wish to have as they age. That includes incorporating ideas about the services, care, and support one might need as life changes over time. Aging in place doesn’t mean just not moving. The goal of anyone wanting to age in place should be not just to maintain quality of life, but to thrive where ever you want to be. In order to do that, a good plan focuses on what is most meaningful to you and should cover possible adaptations to your home, finances, future care, and other items, and should be created as early as possible.

As with any good plan, it should be maintained over time. Who needs an Aging in Place Plan? Creating a plan is for you, right now! If you haven’t retired yet you have time to think about your needs, research your options, and put together a plan that fits you and your family. If you have retired, putting the time into creating a plan will help you remain in control of your life. Building a plan will prepare you to deal with the issues you’ll encounter down the road and ease some of the concern the ones you love will experience. For those us caring for a parent or someone we love, an Aging in Place Plan is for us too. You can be the most helpful by planning with them to ensure their needs are met and wishes respected. It will also help you provide the level of care that is right for them and show your respect to them by ensuring their dignity is kept intact and their needs are met. For more information and a good questionnaire go to: www.AgeingInPlace.org or call Akin Care Senior Services at (609) 450-8877.

PU Women’s Hoops Fights Hard in NCAA Loss, Displaying Heart and Soul of Proud Program

ourtney Banghart wasn’t surprised that her Princeton University women’s basketball team fought to the finish in the NCAA tournament opener. The Tigers have been fighters from the very beginning of a season that started with myriad challenges, and they were battling to the end of an 82-77 loss to Kentucky in the first-round of the NCAA tournament in Raleigh, N.C. last Saturday. “This year that we’ve had, that game kind of categorizes our season with the resilience that we showed,” said Banghart. “The competitive leadership of our seniors was on full display. The talent of Bella (Alarie) was on full display. And the grittiness of Carlie (Littlefield) was on full display.” The 11th-seeded Tigers led Kentucky, ranked 17th nationally but seeded sixth, by as many as nine points in the second quarter. The Wildcats rallied late in the third quarter to take a lead they would not relinquish despite several good chances for Princeton right down to the final seconds of the fourth quarter. “Our seniors gave it all they have,” said Banghart. “I didn’t want anyone to have any regrets. I think if you played Kentucky 10 times, you win five of them, and that says a lot about this team.” Princeton’s two senior captains came up huge in their final game as Gabrielle Rush had a game-high 22 points while Sydney Jordan had a career-high 17 points. Junior star Alarie, the twotime Ivy League Player of the Year, had 20 points, 15 rebounds and five assists to record her 34th career double-double. Sophomore point guard Littlefield had 10 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals as the Tigers finished the season 22-10 overall. “The fact that we never gave up, when you think about our season, we started 1-7 and even in the league we started 0-1 for the whole month of January, and then we were 2-2 and both of our losses were at home,” said Banghart. “So we knew had to basically win all the rest of them, mostly being away. And then having to win the Ivy League tournament. So we felt like our backs were against the wall all year and we had to show resilience. That’s kind of how the game went. We were playing the 17th ranked team in the country who shot well above their average from 3 and we still had a possession to win it.” The Tigers had some unexpected transactions even before the season began. They turned over their coaching staff under Banghart, and lost last year’s standout freshman Abby Meyers for a year due to an academic issue. Then Alarie went down with a broken wrist that cost her the first nine games, but she was only the most visible of the losses. Princeton’s third senior, Qalea Ismail, only played nine games to

end her injury-plagued career and headline a litany of injuries on the team. “We had 15 MRIs this year,” said Banghart. “We only had two players that dressed for every practice this year, our two captains. It was just that kind of year. We very rarely had 10 in uniform for practice. So this year it’s resilience, it’s gritty, it’s also the power of seniors. The seniors were unwilling to give in. Back when we were 1-7, they were panicking. Not because of themselves, but they were panicking because the program was in their hands, and it wasn’t at the standard. They just showed you can will your group a long way as seniors and they did that.” It was the case again when matched against Kentucky, a team that relies on defensive pressure and depth to wear opponents down. The Tigers came out strongest – one year after a slow start doomed them to a 7757 loss to Maryland in the NCAA tournament. “We played Maryland last year, and we were a lot younger but we felt like we never really sunk our teeth into the game,” said Banghart. “I thought that (Kentucky) game could have gone either way, and the growth therefore that our kids had from a year ago was incredible. They paid a lot of attention to Bella and she found her teammates in a really elite way. The girls stuck to our game plan. And our staff came up with a great game plan, we executed it, and we almost won. Possession games can go either way. The fact that this didn’t go ours is something we’re disappointed with, but we don’t have regret. That’s the key in life’s big moments – that you don’t have regrets.” Rush hit a 3-pointer with 8:22 left in the second quarter for a 27-18 Princeton lead. Rush finished with 6 3-pointers to become the program’s single-season 3-pointers made record holder with 96. A basket by freshman Grace Stone in the waning moments of the second quarter gave Princeton a 37-33 lead at halftime. Princeton was still in great shape until the final two minutes of the third quarter. After an Alarie layup tied the game, 52-52, Kentucky scored the final nine points of the quarter. Rush opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer and Jordan hit two free throws and a jumper later by her gave her the new career-high of 17 points to go with five rebounds. “Sydney Jordan, I’m not sure she’d score 20 points in an empty gym, but she started for us for three years because she’s accountable, she’s tough and she defends,” said Banghart of Jordan, who was a co-recipient of the 2019 Moses Taylor Pyne Honor Prize, the highest general distinction available to an undergraduate. “She’s the quintessential Tiger in terms of all those things. She’s accountable

and she shows you don’t have to be glamorous to contribute on a good team.” On the sideline, Ismail led the bench in spirit, remaining positive in the face of every challenge. “Qalea was a big-time recruit, and she spent more time in the training room than she did in basketball gyms,” said Banghart. “In her case, she showed what it was to be a good teammate. She was always pleasant and cheering along her teammates and was never woe is me.” The trio of seniors set the tone to the season and they pushed the team on even when Princeton fell behind by 11 points with 5:30 left in the game. Rush hit a 3 to trim into the lead, and Jordan’s jumper inched the Tigers closer. “Gabrielle didn’t start one basketball game until her senior year,” said Banghart. “And when she started, she ended up setting the record for most 3s in a season. She speaks really to trusting the process. We always say you come to Princeton to do special things, and some of you are going to have to wait your time and some of you are going to be ready right away. She had to really wait her time and keep getting better. She trusted it. And when it was her time, it meant a lot to her how the team played in her senior year.” A 3-point play by Alarie left Princeton down 73-68 with 3:29 left before the Tigers hit a dry spell. They had chances but could not cut it to a one-possession game even after Littlefield buried a 3-pointer with 36 seconds to go as finally the effects of Kentucky’s pressure materialized. “They wear you down,” Banghart said. “They’re seventh in the country (in turnover margin). There are a lot of matchups we could have won more easily. They wear you down and Carlie played 40 minutes and Gabrielle played 40 minutes.” Princeton finished with 16 turnovers. Kentucky had 7. The Wildcats held a 22-8 edge in points off turnovers. “I thought we managed their pressure pretty well,” Banghart said. “We can be sloppy with the ball even against a nonpressure team. Clearly it’s important that you don’t have too many wasted possessions, especially if the game is closer. I thought Carlie did a really good job managing the offensive side of the ball. Overall, ball control wasn’t the reason we lost. It was part of it, but it wasn’t the only reason and it could have been with a team like Kentucky.” The season could have been over long before Kentucky finished the Tigers. Princeton’s slow start to the regular and Ivy seasons could have been devastating, but they continued to rise together as they got deeper into Ivy play. They finished with 12 straight wins before their NCAA loss. “These kids were really

locked in,” Banghart said. “Our backs were against the wall so we had no margin of error so they played like that. They trained like that. They prepared like that in terms of understanding game plans and things. We were all really sharp as the season got deeper. So much was riding on every game. Bella was a star all year, and that was helpful. The fact that she wasn’t available at the beginning of the season hurt us because it meant that your seeding was affected. We should have been a higher seed. We all just walked in and did their parts. Julia (Cunningham) came up huge in the Ivy League tournament. Grace has been steady. We’ve been a series of moving parts all year. We finally got healthy and they really locked in.” This year’s seniors maintained a high standard and helped Princeton return to the NCAA tournament after another Ivy crown. The Tigers are hoping that with just the three graduating, they will have a chance to do the same and go farther in the NCAAs. “Abby Meyers will be back and that makes a big difference,” said Banghart. “You have Abby, Bella, and Carlie, and some really high level freshmen that I expect to play right away. Then, of course, we have current freshmen that play a lot. Talent wise, you’re bringing back maybe the best talent we’ve had. This team showed it’s not just about talent. This team was not super talented nor was it our deepest. It just was gritty. We have to make sure the intangibles are sound, but in terms of what’s on paper, I don’t think a lot of people are feeling bad for us.” The ending to this season may have come sooner than Princeton wanted, but it didn’t come with any regrets, and that was the biggest goal coming into the NCAA tournament. Even with a team that overall is young, Princeton represented its resilience right to the end. “I felt like nobody came to the dance either just glad to be there or afraid of it,” said Banghart. “Those were two really good basketball teams that were on display. I think we showed the heart and soul of our program.” —Justin Feil

After Battling Hard in Loss to Powerhouse Yale, Princeton Men’s Lacrosse Faces Pivotal Stretch Coming off a 19-10 loss to Penn and hosting defending national champion Yale last Saturday, the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team looked like it might be getting routed again as it fell behind the Bulldogs 3-1 in the second quarter. But showing pluck, Princeton reeled off four unanswered goals to pull ahead 5-3 at halftime. “We sunk into our game plan at that point,” said Princeton head coach Matt Madalon. “They got a couple of good ones and once we got possession of the ball, we had an opportunity to capitalize and the guys hit some shots.” In the second half, the Tigers led 7-6 midway through the third quarter but saw the game slip away as Yale, ranked No. 1 in the USILA Coaches Poll, reeled off five unanswered goals on the way to a 15-10 victory before a crowd on 1,843 at Class of ‘52 Stadium. “They made a couple of plays; they scored off of some broken plays,” said Madalon, whose

team dropped to 2-5 overall and 0-2 Ivy League as it suffered its third straight setback. “In those moments we have to execute better, that’s what it comes down to. Yale is a heck of a team, they do a good job, they are No. 1 for a reason. They don’t make many mistakes out there.” Madalon acknowledged that his squad needs to make sharper plays in crunch time. “For us, it is just executing, we had some lapses down the stretch, a couple of mishaps,” lamented Madalon. “Outside of that, it is just limiting our mistakes. It is always about us.” In assessing Princeton’s performance, Madalon was happy about the play he got from sophomore goalie Erik Peters (10 saves) and senior attacker Emmet Cordrey (1 goals, 2 assists). “I thought Peters did a nice job, both goalies played well,” said Madalon, also referring to Yale’s Jack Starr, who made 16 saves, robbing Princeton on

some point blank opportunities. “Peters got the ball out pretty quickly and got us some transitional opportunities. Emmet has done a nice job; he really understands what we are looking for on each possession. His communication is great and he is a great leader on the field for us. He is very poised with the ball.” The Tigers will need to display poise as they face a pivotal week, slated to host No. 9 Denver on Mach 26 for the return of legendary former Princeton head coach Bill Tierney, and then hosting Brown (3-4 overall, 1-0 Ivy) on March 30 in a game that Princeton needs to win to stay in the running for the Ivy postseason tourney. “Conference games are the big ones, they are all critical, but it is always nice to get Denver and bring a top-ranked team into your stadium,” said Madalon. “Obviously we are pumped up with Coach T coming back with his team.

WINTER REVIEW

PHS Wrestling Standouts Bobchin, Ayres Get Nod as Town Topics’ Top Winter Stars

lec B obch in d id n’t achieve the ultimate goa l of w i n n i ng a state championship in his senior season for the Princeton High wrestling team. But what he did accomplish this winter marks him as one of the greatest, if not greatest, wrestlers to ever hit the mat for PHS. Competing at 138 pounds, Bobchin won his four t h s t r a ig ht Mercer C ou nt y Tournament title, won his second straight Region title, getting named as the Most Outstanding Wrester at the competition, and then culminated his season by heading to Atlantic City and taking fourth the NJSIAA Championships. “I definitely felt like I could have wrestled and placed higher than I was seeded,” said Bobchin in reflecting ion his performance at the state tournament. “I’m really happy with how I finished my wrestling career. I really can’t complain. I know I worked hard to get where I am and I deserve everything I got.” Bobchin finished his career with a mark of 140-20, the second most wins in Mercer County history. He trails only Robbinsville’s Garrett Bilgrav by two, though Bobchin finished higher at states this year than Bilgrav, who was seventh at 170 pounds Coming into this season, Bobchin was fueled by taking eighth place at the states in 2018.

“Last year’s trip definitely helped,” said Bobchin. “I learned a really valuable lesson last year and that was not to settle. Last year I took eighth place and I looked up at everyone else on the podium and I felt guilty. I wanted more out of it. It pushed to train harder.” As a result, Bobchin put more time and effort into his preparation for this season than any before. He worked out twice a day, woke up early before school to work out, went to the gym whenever possible, went on hard four-mile training runs, all with the idea that he was working toward a spot on the state podium. The example the Bobchin set by his commitment to excellence will leave a void next year when he is not in the room. “He’ll definitely be missed and it’s great that he helped put Princeton wrestling to the next level and on the map again and he wrestled well at states and every tournament he went to,” said PHS head coach Rashone Johnson. In the view of Johnson, Bobchin took things to a level not seen for PHS wrestling since Ian Reddy’s run in the 1990s, which saw him take fourth in the states in 1993. “He and Ian Reddy are twinning right now,” said Johnson. “Ian Reddy took 7/8th as a junior. They didn’t wrestle the 7/8 match. He took fourth as a senior. The difference is Alec won

a lot more matches, but the match count was different. You couldn’t wrestle as many matches back then. Alec is a four-time county champion and we don’t know what Ian is because they never wrestled in counties. It’ll make for a good argument at our alumni barbecue.” No matter who wins that argument, Bobchin brought a singular charisma to the Tigers. “Alec also had the ‘it’ factor too,” said Johnson. “When he walked into the room, at tournaments or weigh-ins, you know he’s there. He has a presence about him. He helped bring that swagger to Princeton wrestling.” Displaying that swagger, Bobchin rebounded from a loss to undefeated and topseeded Joseph Aragona of Pope John in the state semis to earn the fourth place finish. “After I lost the semifinal match, I knew I needed to prove to myself that I’m too good to not place this year, I’m too good to not place as high as I can this year,” said Bobchin. “And after what happened last year, I can’t settle and I can’t slide all the way down to sixth from the semis, I need to wrestle back for third and give it everything I had. I only had two more matches after that and I needed to wrestle both of them as hard as I could.” Going forward, Bobchin

Bobchin produced a memorable final campaign, placing fourth in the NJSIAA Championships at 138 pounds, winning his second straight Region crown, and fourth consecutive Mercer County Tournament title. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) is looking keep wrestling hard as he heads to Rider University to join its Division I program. “I’m definitely looking forward to being a part of the family over at Rider,” said Bobchin. “(Head coach John) Hangey and Nic (Bedelyon) have been family to me for years. I know if I train as hard as I can, I believe in them to get me to where I want to be and reach the goals I want to achieve. But as he competes at the next level, Bobchin won’t soon forget his time at PHS, on and off the mat. “It’s not even the wrestling part,” Bobchin said. “It’s the friends and the family and the bonds I’ve made with everybody from my teammates to my coaches.” For being such a valuable member of the PHS wrestling family, Bobchin is the choice as the Town Topics’ top male performer of the high school winter season. Top Female Performer hloe Ayres only took up w restling t hree years ago, but she has already made history in the sport. As a freshman wrestling for Princeton High in 201718, Ayres was the first girl to compete for the program and held her own against the male foes. T his w inter, w ith New Jersey holding its first-ever state girls’ wrestling state tournament, Ayres emerged as a star. At the South Jersey girls’ wrestling region tournament, Ay res won t he 105-pound title and was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler (MOW) of the competition. She went went on to win the 105 title at the NJSIAA championships in Atlantic City Ayres’ success this winter highlighted the influence her father, Chris Ayres, the head coach of the Princeton University wrestling team and a former standout for Lehigh, has had on her development in the sport. “We have an amazing bond,” Ayres said. “I’ve been working for all these great goals. Every day he’s in my corner. He’s the first one I hugged after I won regions. We were both crying.” For Ayres, just getting the chance to compete in the girls’ tourney was amazing. “Going into the tournament, I was honestly just excited to be there,” said Ayres, whose parents and NJSIAA assistant director Bill Bruno played a key role in starting the girls’ competition.

“I didn’t ever expect to experience it in my high school career. I was content with whatever happens. To compete with just other girls, I’ve never experienced anything like it in high school.” PHS head coach Rashone Johnson wasn’t surprised to see Ayres thrive under the pressure of state competition. “She was tough,” said PHS head coach Rashone Johnson. “She went and she competed. She’s wrestled in plenty of other bigger tournaments than that before, but the nerves with it being the first state tournament in your own state and it’s for real, it’s a real qualifier for the state tournament, it was good. She handled herself well. She wrestled with poise, like she’s a veteran.” Spending the last t wo seasons going against boys helped steel Ayres. “Those varsity matches that she wrestled against boys, it all preps her for whatever she’s going to possibly run into at states,” said Johnson. “She’s wrestling boys throughout the year. She’s going to be prepared for whatever she runs into at the end of the year.” Heading into Atlantic City after the success at the Regions, Ayres was prepared to come out on top. “My dad always says, ‘Anyone, anywhere, anytime;’ I want to show what girls can do,” said Ayres, reflecting on her mindset heading into the state championships. “I want to display what I’ve been working on, what I can do, and show my style. I want to go out and win the tournament and be dominant.” In taking the state title, Ayres had to overcome some nerves. “It was very overwhelming,” said Ayres. “My first match, it was a little like a deer in headlights. It’s a lot to take in. The crowd was

really into it, even the girls’ matches. It’s a lot to take it. Once I got in the later periods of my matches, I was able to let go. It was intimidating at first. It took a little to get used to.” Building on her success, Ayres is hoping to use the attention she has drawn to get more girls into the sport. “Hopefully next year we’ll have a few more,” Ayres said. “I’m trying to recruit a few of my friends. Manalapan and Kingsway have a full lineup of girls. Last year, that was non-existent and now they have a full team. That’s what we’re trying to have at Princeton.” Making history in helping to put girls’ wrestling on the map and winning a first state title for PHS wrestling earns Ayres the nod as the top female performer this winter. Top Newcomers ast winter, Tim Evidente cut his teeth on the Princeton High boys’ basketball freshman team. Despite standing under six feet, the wiry Evidente made a big impact as he moved up to PHS varsity squad this season and took over as starting point guard. “I see my role as distributing the ball, running the plays and being like a coach on the floor,” said Evidente. It didn’t take long for Evidente to get on the same page with his teammates. “I am getting more comfortable with the guys,” said Evidente, who averaged 6.4 points a game and led PHS in assists (28) and steals (35). “We are blending a lot more on and off the court. We are showing it on the court as well.” Evidente’s ability to get his teammates blend to gether helped PHS make a big jump this season as the Tigers went 12-13 and made

the state tournament after going 4-21 in 2017-18. PHS head coach Pat Noone credited Evidente with showing maturity on the court. “Tim does a great job of controlling the offense,” said Noone. “He sees the court. He uses his dribble to create space so he will get in there. If he doesn’t like it, he pulls it back out and we get to run the offense.” Evidente’s role in helping PHS enjoy a bounce-back season makes him the top male newcomer this winter. Marie-Eve Hebert found a home as she came to the Hun School from Canada this year and joined its swimming program. “I was visiting my brother here for the school and the hockey,” said Hebert, a native of Quebec whose older brother, Guillaume, starred for the Hun boys’ hockey team and graduated from the school last spring. “The Hun campus was amazing to me. This is like Harry Potter, it is like a dream for me, so let’s try to swim here. I know that in the United States, swimming is very competitive. Everyone here has been friendly.” Hebert proved her bona fides as a competitor, fighting through illness to star at the Mercer County Championships The junior transfer placed first in both the 200 and 400 freestyle races to help upstart Hun win the team title, the first county crown in program history. “This is the first thing we have won,” said Hebert.“This season has been great. We have won every other meet

so winning, seeing our medals and the t-shirts and taking pictures was great.” Hebert kept coming up with great efforts down the stretch of the season, taking third in the 200 free at the state Prep meet and advancing to the finals in the 100 and 200 free at the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships. Hu n head coach Joan Nuse credited Hebert with making a big contribution to the team, in and out of the pool. “Marie-Eve is great as a swimmer and is great as a person,” said Nuse. “She brings such a wonderful attitude with her and puts in a lot of effort everywhere she goes. Everyone on the team just loves her.” For bringing so much to the Hun swimming team in her debut season, Hebert is the top female newcomer. Top Coaches cott Bertoli knew that h i s P r i n c e to n D a y School boys’ hockey team faced an uphill battle this winter. “We graduated seven and we lost Cade McLaughlin, who went to Kent School,” said PDS head coach Bertoli as he looked ahead to the 2018-19 campaign. “We are definitely not as deep as we have been in the past, especially last year. Our schedule was just brutal this year. It was hard with the lack of depth.”

Still, Bertoli was confident that his players would rise to the occasion. “We have enough pieces to play some really good hockey and give ourselves opportunities to win games against some really good competition,” said Bertoli. T he Pant hers did just that, posting victories over Gloucester Catholic, Portledge School (N.Y.), Hun, Ve r m o n t A c a d e m y ( Vt. ) , Worcester Academy (Mass.), LaSalle (Pa) and Seton Hall Prep, among others, on the way to a 14-12-1 record. The Panthers placed in the top four of the highly competitive Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL) where they fell 4-1 to Hill School (Pa.) in the semis. “When we were at full strength and had everyone there, I felt confident playing against anyone,” said Bertoli. “I think we proved that with great games against Hill (a 1-0 loss in overtime on January 9) at relatively full strength and a really good effort against Lawrenceville (a 5-4 defeat on January 24) which proved to be an outstanding team this year by New England standards.” In the final analysis, Bertoli credited his players with showing grit and character as they dealt with the challenges that came their way. “One thing I never worry about is the effort level that

we are going to get and the way the kids conduct themselves,” said Bertoli. Bertoli’s ability to get the most of his players and guide the Panthers to another winning campaign makes him the pick as the top coach of a male team this winter. Justin Leith set the bar high for his Stuart Country Day School basketball team coming into the 2018-19 campaign. In order to steel his players for postseason play, he scheduled a gauntlet of formidable foes such as Trenton Catholic, Miami Country Dade (Fla.), St. Rose, Bound Brook, Christ the King (N.Y.), and Rise Academy (Canada). L e it h s e n s e d t hat h is squad had the talent to compete against the best. “I say to the kids every day that we have all of the pieces to be great,” said Leith. “We have to stay healthy and we do not want to take our talent for granted. We want to go into practice every single day and work hard, work smart, and work together. That is what we have been driving home since the first practice hard, smart, together.” While the Tartans struggled in January, going 4-5, Leith believed his team was still making progress as it stuck together through the losses. “We knew going into it that it was going to be difficult,” said Leith. “We were able get better even during our weakest moments and darkest times.” Toughened up by t hat experience, Stuart enjoyed some great times when February rolled around. The second-seeded Tartans won their second straight state Prep B title, topping thirdseeded Academy of St. Elizabeth 82-72 in the semis and then going on the road to post a 71-63 win over topseeded Morristown-Beard in the final. At the same time, Stuart produced a stirring run in the Mercer County Tournament as the third-seeded Tar t a n s d efe ate d s i x t h seeded Trenton 69-43 in the quarterfinals before falling 54 - 44 to second-seeded Pennington in the semis to finish the winter with a 1710 record. In Leith’s view, Stuart’s

Leith guided Stuart to its second straight state Prep B title and the Mercer County Tournament semifinals as the Tartans went 17-10 on the winter. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) postseason success reflected a more competitive mindset being exuded by Tartan athletes across the board. “It is a testament to where Stuart is, not just as a basketball team but athletically,” said Leith, who is also the school’s Director of Athletics. “You look at our track team, field hockey in the fall, and lacrosse is going to be a big-time eye opener to everyone. It is really a revival of Stuart athletics. Basketball is a part of that

and the back-to-back piece is just awesome but there is certainly synergy among the teams. We are a small school and the coaches share a lot of athletes. The culture has changed; the expectations of work and winning has changed in a good way for everybody to be all in.” For taking a key role in building a championship culture around the Stuart hoops program, Leith is the choice as the top coach of a female team. —Bill Alden

The 2010 Princeton High alu m na star ted work ing with grade schoolers in the PG L a x program in high school and then coached with Tri-State club in the summers while attending Muhlenberg College. “I definitely fell in love with coaching early on,” said Reilly. “I played at Tri-State for Sue Montegary; she was my big coaching idol. She got me into it and continuing to want to pursue it.” A f ter g raduat ing f rom Muhlenberg in 2014 and serving as assistant coach for the PHS girls’ lax program the last four years,

Reilly is taking over the head job at her alma mater this spring, succeeding Sara Doran. While Reilly enjoyed being an assistant for the Tigers, she is relishing the chance to be at the helm. “I wasn’t itching to do it yet but the opportunity presented itself,” said Reilly, who played field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse during her PHS days. “Once I got the opportunity, then I realized how much I wanted it.” For Reilly, getting the opportunity to guide a program at her alma mater is something special. “I have always loved Princ-

eton; I was absolutely in love with my high school experience,” said Reilly, who is a third-grade teacher at Riverside Elementary. “I got to play so many sports, sing a cappella, and just do so much at once. I loved the atmosphere of PHS.” As the preseason has unfolded, Reilly is feeling the love from her players. “It has been awesome, I think they were excited about the transition,” said Reilly, who helped PHS enjoy a big campaign last spring when it went 13-11 and won a sectional title. “It is nice that I already really know them. I tried to get

coffee with some of them before the season. I took all of the seniors out to dinner to Conte’s to get them excited for the season.” Reilly is excited about the one-t wo punch of junior standout Shaylah Marciano and senior star Mariana Lopez-Ona, who are both committed to attend University of Michigan and play for its women’s lacrosse program. “Shaylah is looking awesome, she is absolutely fearless and a such a total package athlete,” said Reilly of Marciano, who also stars at soccer and basketball. “We have Mariana with her goal scoring skills and her defensive skills as well, a lot of times she can get an interception or cause a turnover from low defense and bring it all the way up. She is also fantastic at the draw.”

Sophomore Shoshi Hend e r s o n a n d j u n i o r Ev a Petrone are primed to build on solid campaigns last year at the offensive end while senior Kathryn DeMilt is aiming to go out with a bang and freshman Kate Becker appears ready to make a sudden impact. “Shoshi and Eva are going to give even better years than last year because their confidence is at an awesome place right now,” said Reilly. “ T h e y are s u ch g re at teammates and they work really well with the rest of the team. We have also got Kathryn; she is very experienced and as a lefty she has a lot of unique opportunities to score. We also have a talented freshman, Kate Becker, who is everywhere on the field and can play both midfield and attack.” The PHS defense is stocked w ith bat tle-tested veterans in junior Lila Doran, senior Serena Bolitho, and the Mavoides twins, Megan and Morgan, who are also seniors. “Lila is a big player and then we have got Serena Bolitho, who plays defense and midfield,” said Reilly.

“I h ave t h e Mavoi d e s twins, which is phenomenal because they are coming from a leadership position in field hockey and they have naturally started to be leaders on the lacrosse field as well.” The Tigers will be going with a freshman, Gigi Peloso, as the starting goalie. “Gigi is really legit,” said Reilly. “She is technically trained, she is very tough, and she is very coachable. She is one of those kids who will get in front of the shot and she won’t step out of the cage. She is tough as nails. Gigi has some height too but the best things about her are coachability, attitude, and how fearless she is.” With PHS opening the season by hosting WW/PSouth on March 27, Reilly is looking for her players to display an upbeat attitude no matter what happens. “The keys to success for us are going to be our mental toughness and our ability to stay positive as a team unit together and utilizing all different players,” said Reilly. —Bill Alden

During his days at WW/PNorth High, Joe Moore enjoyed a transformative experience as he competed for the True North club lacrosse program. “I look back my h igh school days and somebody that was huge inf luence for me on and off the field was Chris Sanderson,” said Moore, refer r ing to t he founder of True North who was a Canadian national team goalie and a star at Virginia who lost a valiant battle with brain cancer, dying in 2012 at age 38. “I think about him everyday and the impact he had on me.” This spring, Moore will be looking to have a similar impact on some local high school players as he takes the helm of the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse program after serving as an assistant in 2018 to Rich D’A n dre a, who s tepp e d down after last season. “R ich gave me an op portunity last year to get a feel for the PDS lacrosse program,” said Moore, who did a post-graduate year at Trinity Pawling (N.Y.) after his career at WW/P-N and then went on to star in the midfield for the Syracuse University men’s program, helping the Orange win the NCAA title in 2009. “The idea was for me was to learn the ropes from Rich.” In taking over for D’Andrea, Moore is applying some of the lessons he learned from his Syracuse experience. “All four years were really special,” said Moore, 30, who works as the Facility

Manger and Director of Lacrosse at the Centercourt Club in Lawrenceville. “Playing at that level, you learn to compete on and off the field. You have that competitive edge to you which I have tried to carry to my everyday life.” In addition, Moore plans to incorporate some of the Syracuse run-and-gun approach into the program. “I have my style that I got from Syracuse; if we can push transition, we are going to push transition,” said Moore, who took the team on its annual spring training trip to Florida earlier this month. “I tell the kids all the time that everybody on the field needs to be comfor table scoring goals. Our defensemen practice shooting, our goalies practice shooting, everybody is involved.” Moore will be looking for senior attacking midfielder and Christopher Newport University-bound Coby Auslander to make an impact at both ends of the field. “Coby is definitely going to be an all-arounder for us,” said Moore of Auslander, who starred last strong as the Panthers went 10 -5 and won their third straight Mercer County Tournament title. “Coming off of hockey season, he is in shape. His stick looks really strong. We will have him starting at that attack spot and will be using him all over the place.” Juniors Cal Caputo and Jake Bennett also provide offensive punch. “They have a very strong game; if we are throwing a play out there

In the Wake of Heavy Graduation Losses, PDS Girls’ Lacrosse Featuring New Look Saying goodbye to a core of seniors that helped the Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse team w in three state Prep B titles in the last four years, the program is going to have a new look this spring. While PDS head coach Jill Thomas acknowledges that team is undergoing a transition, she is seeing a lot of positives so far from a group that features a mix of veteran leaders and promising freshmen. “You graduate nine and you have got to rebuild a little but things are going well, ” said Thomas, whose squad includes five freshmen and two transfers and worked on getting in synch with its annual preseason trip to Florida earlier this month. “I think the freshmen will be fine because we have great senior leaders in Maddy Birch, Gwen Allen, Val Radvany, and Zoe Cook.” The addition of Cook, a transfer from Hun who led the Raiders in scoring last season, is a great plus for the Raiders. “Zoe has fit in beautifully; I keep on introducing her as our bonus,” said Thomas, who guided the Panthers to the Prep B title game and an 8-9 record on 2018. “She is a good kid, she went to PDS through third grade. She feels very fortunate to be here and we love having her. It is all good.” Thomas knows that she is also fortunate to have a pair of senior stalwarts in Allen, who has committed to attend Amherst College and play both field hockey and lacrosse there, along with Birch. “Gwen can play within herself, she is a force to be reckoned with; she has size and speed,” said Thomas, whose offensive unit will also include sophomore Ellie Schofield, sophomore Jordan Young and a trio of freshmen in Elle Anhut and the Allen twins, Emily and Lyla. The Panther defense will be spearheaded by senior Radvany along with freshman standout Ali Surace. “I can count on Val on defense; we call on her to be a leader and she is doing great,” said Thomas. “We have got Ali Surace is starting on defense and doing really well ; she is stepping up big. You have Maddie Izzard coming back and you have got Vanessa Devin, Alex Hollander, and Ella McIntyre. The defense is going to be fine.” PDS boasts two options at goalie in junior Maggie Madani and Hailey Wexler, a sophomore transfer from Hun.

“We are going to have to see; I thought I could make a decision in Florida but Hailey wasn’t there,” said Thomas. “Both of them will see action.” In the view of Thomas, the Panthers are already there in terms of camaraderie. “We have been working on team chemistry since day one and we are where we want to be,” said Thomas. “That is the key. We have got to revamp and team chemistry has been our goal since we met in October. I am really happy with it.” Wit h PDS opening its

2019 campaign by playing at the Hill School (Pa.), the Panthers will need to be on the same page. “You have got to be ready, we hit the ground running with our schedule,” said Thomas, whose team hosts Blair on March 30 and Peddie on April 1 before playing at the Shipley School (Pa.) on April 3 and at Lawrenceville on April 5. “I think we need to be keeping our heads up and focusing on what we want to do. We need to play our game and stay together as a unit. When you are young, the sky is the limit.” —Bill Alden

and they see something, they have the green light to do something on their own,” said Moore. “Cal is an unbelievable inside finisher. Jake can shoot the heck out of the ball and he can find Cal in all different places.” In the midfield, PDS will be feat ur ing sophomore Drew McConaughy and senior Jimmy O’Connor. “We have Drew there and he is going to have a big year,” said Moore. “Jimmy is senior captain with a big body. He is another guy similar to Cody, we can use him all around as a utility guy going both ways.” Senior Sam Bernardi and sophomore Gibson Linnehan figure to spearhead the Panther defensive unit. “Sam is a senior captain this year, he is going to be the anchor of our defense,” said Moore. “Gibson Linnehan will be alongside him; we will play with Gibby in terms of having him at longstick middie or close defense. We will rely on those two guys.” PDS been relay ing on senior star goalie Connor Green for the last four years as its last line of defense. “Connor is unbelievable; he is seeing ever y t h ing right now and his confidence is through the roof,” said Moore. “We have spent a ton of time this preseason on outlet passes and clearing in general. He is going to have a good year. He is in a very good spot right now, he had a great trip last week. He is going to be another anchor on this team.” With a squad that doesn’t boast a lot of depth, Moore needs all of his players to contr ibute mentally and physically. “It is going to be about how we respond to adversity. We don’t play 100 kids; we have a small number of kids so we need everybody to do their part day in, day out,” said Moore. “The key to success for us is going to be when we hit those hard points in games or in the season in general and how we respond. I have told them a million time ‘KYP’ — know your personnel, know your teammates. It is knowing the other other guys strong points and weak points and making adjustments accordingly.” The Panthers will be looking for a successful opener as they play at crosstown rival Hun on March 28 to start the 2019 campaign. “We are going into Hun with a ton of confidence,” said Moore. “They are a super strong program and it is a huge rivalry for us. I know our kids will get up for it.” —Bill Alden

Building a Team Culture Based on Character, Hun Boys’ Lacrosse Primed for Special Spring W hile the Hun School b o y s’ l a c r o s s e te a m i s stocked with players heading to such Division I college programs as North Carolina, Johns Hopkins, the Naval Academy, Yale, Marquette and Hobart, M.V. Whitlow doesn’t view talent as the group’s defining quality. “As a coach, I am personally proud of our culture and the young men that are on our team,” said Hun head coach Whitlow, who is heading into his seventh season at the helm of the program. “They are good citizens and good student athletes of character.” The Raiders feature a very good one-two punch at at-

tack in UNC-bound junior Trevor Deubner and senior Devon Cowan, who is headed to Marquette. “They have emerged into veteran leaders,” asserted Whitlow, who guided the Raiders to a state Prep A title and 9-2 record last spring. “It is great as coach to have guys who been with the program three or four years that project such good decision-making; the skill and athleticism part helps too. Jeff Snow, my assistant coach, has worked so closely with them. Our offense has evolved and hopefully will continue to evolve.” Senior Jackson Barletta,

heading to play football at Fordham, junior Princeton commit Grant Hansen, and Stevens-bound senior Jake Wright lead the midfield. “Barletta, Grant Hansen, and Jake Wright are pretty dynamic and we are trying to be as dynamic as we can,” said Whitlow, who has brought in post-grad faceoff specialist Nick Ramsay, a Yale commit. T h e d efe n s ive u n it i s spearheaded by a pair of seniors, Johns Hopkins-bound Jack Ruddy and Hobart recruit Blake Hansen. “Jack is back as a captain and Blake is back there with him,” said Whitlow, noting that the other spots are up for grabs. Navy-bound junior standout Gabe Craven is returning at goalie. “Gabe is as energetic as ever and he does have the quick hands,” added Whitlow. With Hun hosting crosstown rival Princeton Day School on March 28 to open the 2019 campaign, Whitlow is hoping for a quick start. “With a veteran group, we are trying to keep the growth trajectory sharp,” said Whitlow. “We are doing a lot of new things this year, staying fresh. The culture is something we are very proud of, but we are still a very hungry group of guys focused on victory.” —Bill Alden

With Abundance of Talent Around the Diamond, Hun Baseball Ready for Another Title Run Tom Monfiletto is dealing with a problem this spring that would be the envy of many coaches. In assessing his Hun School baseball team, head coach Monfiletto notes that he has an abundance of talent at his disposal across the diamond. “We have a lot of kids, it is going to be really difficult for us,” said Monfiletto, who has guided the Raiders to the state Prep A title in his first two seasons at the helm of the program with the team also winning the crown in 2016, the final campaign of legendary head coach Bill McQuade. “We have 12 or more guys who we want to see contribute in games.” The squad’s depth starts with the pitching staff as Hun features senior Jack Erbeck, senior Blaney Soper, post-graduate Andy Blake, junior Jake Sloss, junior Anthony Bencardino, sophomore Ricky Erbeck and a trio of freshmen in Carson Applegate, Ryan DiMaggio, and Jackson Kraemer. “I think pitching stands out as our biggest strength and a lot of the credit goes to coach [Steve] Garrison; I think we have some really good talent on the mound,” said Monfiletto, whose team had its annual spring train-

ing trip in Florida earlier this month. “We have Jack Erbeck who was outstanding for us last year and looks better than e v e r. Ev e r y b o d y k n o w s about the year Andy Blake had last year (for Hopewell Valley) and it looks like he is throwing a little bit harder. He has such great command and presence. Blaney Soper is back for us. He pitched a good amount for us last year. We also have Jake Sloss and Anthony Bencardino. Both of those guys got some innings out of the bullpen last year for us and they will probably have an increased role. We also have Ricky E rb e ck, Jack ’s you ng e r brother, who is going to be very good as well. We have three freshmen that I think will help - Carson Applegate is a very good pitcher, Ryan DiMaggio is a lefty and then we have Jackson Kraemer, who can pitch and play the outfield.” The batting order includes, among others, senior McGwire Tuffy, Blake, Jack Erbeck, senior David Melnick, Sloss, junior Cole Palmeri, Applegate, and sophomore Ben Petrone. “Offensively is probably what we need to focus on,” said Monfiletto, noting the seniors Chuck McGrath and Jack Carney also figure to get at-bats. “As the season goes on, the bats usually star t to warm up as the weather warms up. I thought we ran the bases really well in Florida. We squared up some balls and we were able to figure out to produce runs with the bat. We really want to get to third base and we put as much pressure on the defense as we can.” The Hun defense looks solid around the infield with

Melnick starting at catcher, Blake and Sloss at third base, Tuffy at shortstop, Petrone at second and senior Dylan Galgano and Jack Erbeck at first with Ricky Erbeck taking on a utility role. Across the outfield, Sloper is in left field and Applegate is holding down center with Palmeri, Bencardino, Kraemer, and senior Shaan Patel also slated to see time at right and other spots. Noting that Hun is facing a gauntlet of formidable foes including Allentown, Steinert, St. Augustine, Somerv ille, Perk iomen S chool (Pa.), and Seton Hall Prep, Monfiletto is looking for his squad to rise to the occasion. “I want to win one of these big marquee games on our schedule; last year we beat Steinert in the second round of the MCT and that was kind of a signature win for us,” said Monfiletto, whose team posted a 15-6 record in 2018. “When we made it to the semifinals, it was a bit of a wakeup call. We ran into a buzzsaw. Hopewell was on a roll and Andy was on a roll. He pitched a really great game.” With the Raiders hosting Lawrenceville on March 28 to open the season, the team will be looking to get rolling early on. “The keys are to star t strong but to continually get better through the season,” said Monfiletto. “If we became satisfied too early, you wind up coasting at the wrong time. I want to be playing our best baseball at the end of the season. We have a good amount of arms; if the pitching stays consistent we will be able to figure out how to score. We have a lot of really good hitters, we just need to turn that into runs consistently.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Henry Horn Henry Horn, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, emeritus, a scholar and fervent naturalist for whom Princeton’s campus and the surrounding areas provided a rich biosphere for study, died suddenly March 14 at Princeton. He was 77. Horn joined the Princeton faculty in 1966 amid a wave of interest in evolution and ecology in the then-Department of Biology. In 1991, he led the University into a new era of interdisciplinary environmental research as founding director of the Program in Environmental Studies. He transferred to emeritus status in 2011. “Henry Horn was one of the stalwart pillars of the department,” said Daniel Rubenstein, the Class of 1877 Professor of Zoology, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, and director of the Program in Environmental Studies. “He had an original mind and was so caring. He saw patterns in the natural world that others often overlooked, and he had a unique ability to identify why they came to be and how they worked. He was so generous and genuine in his

encouragement of students and colleagues and provided personal and intellectual glues that helped hold the department together. He will be sorely missed.” Simon Levin, the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, said Horn was “a brilliant scientist who continued to add to the intellectual life of the department. He also was a wonderful human being. His principal impact was on the students, the culture, and the cultivation of the climate of good collegiality and good mentorship.” Horn was a mentor to generations of students. A common theme in Horn’s work was a combination of geometr y in conception, mechanical inventiveness in measurement, and “muddy boots” fieldwork in execution, noted an entry in the Princeton emeritus booklet upon Horn’s retirement. Horn had a lasting interest in the growth of trees, i n par t icu lar, how t hey got their shape and their branching patterns. Part of his tree work was published in The Adaptive Geometry of Trees in 1971. Hor n also st udied t he wind dispersal of seeds and forest succession, and he had a longtime fascination with butterfly behavior. Horn was born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1941, the son of Catherine Stainken and Henry E. Horn, a Lutheran pastor. His family moved to Virginia and Georgia, eventually settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he attended Cambridge High and Latin School. He completed his A.B. at Harvard University in 1962 and his Ph.D. at the University of Washington in 1966. His Ph.D. thesis was a pioneering study on the adap-

tive nature of the social behavior of blackbirds. Over the years, Horn’s research took him across the continental United States and Canada, and to locations across the globe including Central and South America, Austria, Britain, France, and Japan. But it was the areas in and around Princeton that mostoften served as a muse and a setting for his fieldwork and teaching. He was an expert on the ecology of the Princeton campus and the Institute Woods surrounding the Institute for Advanced Study. An editorial consultant to Princeton University Press beginning in 1967, Horn was co - editor of Mono graphs in Population Biology, a continuing series of books intended to examine important aspects of the ecology of plants and animals. He served on the Press’ editorial board from 1993 to 1998 and was editorial board chair in 1998. Horn was a Bullard Fellow for Harvard Forest at Harvard University and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He served as a permanent principal investigator at the University of Arizona-Tucson. He led frequent workshops for K-12 school teachers and students, and in 2002 he was awarded a Certificate of Recognition for Commitment to Exemplary Science Education (K-12) from the Princeton Chapter of Sigma Xi. In 2011, he received the Jack Gleeson Environmental Award from the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, and in 2013 he was honored with the Environmental Leadership Award by the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association. He is survived by his wife,

Elizabeth; a daughter, Jennifer, of St. Paul, Minnesota; a son, Eric, of Champaign, Illinois; six brothers, David, Charles, William, Richard, Michael, and Andrew; and three sisters, Jean Swanson, Eleanor Grotsky, and Marguerite Horn. A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, 2019 in the University Chapel. Donations may be sent to The Nature Conservancy. View or share comments on a blog intended to honor Horn’s life and legacy.

Karl Zaininger Karl Z ain inger pas s ed away Fr iday, March 22, 2019 in Princeton, with his loving family at his side. Born August 3, 1929 in Bavaria, Germany, he emigrated to the U.S. on Christmas Eve 1951. He was following his heart to marry Sophia Hugel, a Ukrainian refugee whom he met in postwar Germany. It was to be the start of a long, fulfilling life of family and career. Soon af ter his arrival, he was drafted to the U.S. Army during the Korean War, served for two years, and was honorably d is charged as a sergeant. He promptly enrolled in the City College of New York and earned his BS in Electrical Engineering,

g r ad u at i n g Mag n a Cu m Laude, and was inducted to the Tau Beta Pi Society. He continued his education earning an MA, a MS, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering at Princeton University in 1964. His studies in the nascent field of solid-state physics would anchor him and his family in Princeton for the next six decades. Karl became a research scientist at RCA’s David Sarnoff Laboratories and over the next 20 years worked on many groundbreaking inventions and discoveries that paved the way for the electronics revolution, the foundation of today’s information age. He and his colleagues were known for their many papers and patents; among them work on MOS and gallium arsenide semiconductors and the development of some of the first CCDs. In the mid-seventies, Karl was appointed by the Dept. of Energy to help establish the U.S. Solar Energy Research Institute in Golden, Colorado. Thereafter, he managed a number of programs at the U.S. Army Electronics Technology & Devices Lab, in Fort Monmouth and at the Pentagon, with military focus including early work on the GPS system. Karl returned to the private sector in 1980, when he joined Siemens to strengthen their North American R&D activities. He established Siemens Corporate Research and Support, Inc. in Princeton where he rose to Vice-Chairman and CEO. From his earliest days, Karl was inspired by great teachers and was drawn to education. Over many decades, he inspired engineering students the world over through his lectures at his beloved Princeton University, the Hebrew University

in Jerusalem, Rutgers University, UCLA, and La Salle College. Later in his life, he shifted focus and taught executive MBA sessions at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Kiev Polytechnic Institute, L’viv Business School, and U k r a i n a U n i ve r s i t y. H e also taught executive MBA sessions at the University of Neu-Ulm and helped to bring German students to Columbia Business School. Finally, he was instrumental in establishing the programs of entrepreneurial education at Princeton’s Keller Center, where he taught Innovation Leadership. Many honors were bestowed on Karl. He was a Lifetime Fellow of IEEE and was inducted into the Ukrainian National Academy of E ng ineer ing. At Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, he was awarded an honorary professorship, ser ved on the advisory board of the business school, and received the Medal of Saint Petro Mohyla. He received an honorary doctorate from Ukraina University and was on the advisory board of the L’viv Business School. He was a member of the advisory board of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University as well as a member of the Industrial Research Institute. Predeceased by his beloved son Mark, Karl is survived by his wife Sophia, his son Alexander, his daughter Lydia, and his five grandchildren, Paula, Augustin, Louisa, Charlotte, and Luke. A memorial service will be held at the Princeton University Chapel on Sunday March 31 at 1:30 p.m. followed by a reception at the Nassau Club. In lieu of f lowers, the family requests donations be made to the Ukrainian Institute of America or the Ukrainian Museum, both in New York City.

WAYS TO SAVE FOR

A DOWN PAYMENT FOR YOUR NEW HOME

The thought of buying home brings both excitement and uncertainty. The first thing you need to do is understand where you stand financially. What type of loan do you want, what do you qualify for will help determine how much you put down. Once you have determined what you can afford, set up a separate account where a percentage of your income automatically goes. Doing this keeps temptation at bay and creates a sense of accomplishment when you see the dollars compounding toward you goal of home ownership. Sorry coffee shops...but, those daily $5 splurges add up. If you were to put your coffee money into your down payment account, you could easily save close to $2,000 in one year! Reevaluate your credit card debt. Pay off debt with higher interest rates first, and be timely in those payments. This saves you money and increases your credit score, both of which lenders will be looking at when it is time to get your mortgage.
