Council Makes Amendments To Proposed 2017 Budget, Saving Some Costs At a meeting of Princeton Council on Monday evening, March 27, a public hearing was held on the proposed municipal budget of $62.4 million for 2017. Scott Sillars, chairman of the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee, presented an outline of the proposed budget, which had been introduced on February 27. Since some amendments were made by Council after Mr. Sillars’ presentation and some comments from the public, another public hearing will be held at the next Council meeting on Monday, April 3. At that time, the governing body will be able to vote on the measure unless more amendments are made. Princeton resident Kip Cherry was the only member of the public to voice comments, expressing concern about the proposed property tax rate increase. “If we are to have a diverse community, we need to hold the line of the tax rate,” she said, adding that the town should stick with last year’s expenditures instead of what was proposed. Municipal administrator Marc Dashield then outlined some cost-saving amendments. The town would use $130,000 of a $230,000 surplus to hire a planning consultant for the planned Neighborhood Character Study and master plan. The remaining $100,000 would go back into the budget. “There was a bigger surplus than anticipated,” said Mr. Dashield. Another cost-saving change involves the reorganization of the town’s health department. The position of health officer would be eliminated and become part of the job of the assistant administrator, saving approximately $75,000. Last November, former health officer Jeffrey Grosser was named to the post of assistant administrator but still served as health officer after assuming the new position. While a replacement for the health officer was originally planned, it has been decided that Mr. Grosser will continue the current arrangement. Other minor adjustments to the budget were made. “At the end of the day, there is about a $308,000 reduction in the amount taxpayers will have to pay in this year’s budget,” Mr. Dashield said. “So what was about a $90 increase when budget was introduced is now about $50.” —Anne Levin

Rider Seeks Buyer to Keep Westminster in Princeton

Westminster Choir College will remain in Princeton. It just won’t be a part of Rider University, as it has for the past 25 years, it was announced Tuesday afternoon. Rider’s Board of Trustees has voted to find another institution to purchase the famed music school and keep it at its Walnut Lane campus. Rider, based in Lawrenceville, has hired PriceWaterhouseCoopers to help in the search, which Rider president Gregory Dell’Omo is confident will yield results, he said at a press conference. “Everybody’s interest, first and foremost, is to preserve the legacy of Westminster Choir College,” he said. Under the plan, an institution could purchase the campus and the school together, or buy the choir college and relocate it to an existing campus. The process is expected to take place over the course of the next 12 months. Last October, Rider began exploring the idea of selling the campus in Princeton and moving Westminster to Lawrenceville as part of a plan to help address a projected $13 million deficit. The plan was met with strong opposition from Westminster students, alumni, faculty, and key figures in the classical music world.

Joseph Polisi, president of The Juilliard School, wrote to Mr. Dell’Omo last week: “I know you are aware of the exceptionally important and distinguished role that the Choir College has played in the history of America’s classical music environment. Although I understand that your university has been grappling with economic challenges, I ask you to consider the irreparable damage that would take place throughout our musical system if West-

minster were to stop functioning.” Opponents to the proposed merger of Westminster into the Rider campus said that the two schools have very different communities that would not blend well. Their concerns were considered by the Board. “Recognizing the special nature of Westminster’s programs, the University has determined to pursue, with the Continued on Page 14

Indivisible Princeton Panelists Discuss: Will the Affordable Care Act “Explode”? The story of the Affordable Care Act is far from over, according to Indivisible Princeton’s health care panel. Last Friday Republicans in Washington withdrew legislation for their proposed new health care bill, and Democrats celebrated victory in staving off seven years of Republican efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA). President Trump, however, announced, “The best thing politically is to let Obamacare explode.” On Monday night before a gathering of about 50 at the Unitarian Universal-

ist Congregation Church on Cherry Hill Road, four experts on health care and government policy discussed what’s still at risk and how the Trump Administration, the state of New Jersey and others will continue to influence who gets care in our communities. The grassroots bipartisan organization and the lead speakers also addressed strategies for advocacy in Trenton and Washington to protect and stabilize the ACA. Panelists included Larry Epstein, Atlantic Medical Group administrator and Continued on Page 18

Of the Town But UFAR, a Princetonbased nonprofit organization, w ith L aw rencev ille resident Daniel Shungu, Congolese by birth and a former Merck employee, at the helm and former Princeton Township mayor Michele Tuck-Ponder as Board Chair, is on its way to conquering riverblindness as a major public health problem in the DRC. For more than 10 years UFAR has distributed Ivermectin in the DRC, and as a result of Mr. Campbell’s work the organization has recently expanded its mission to combat other neglected tropical diseases. “Dr. Campbell’s work has resulted in the tremendous alleviation of suffering in the DRC,” Mr. Shungu stated. “Without his discovery, generations of people would continue to suffer from pre-

mature blindness, crippling families, communities, and the nation.” Ms. Tuck-Ponder discussed her involvement and the success of the organization since its founding 12 years ago. “We’ve all heard the phrase ‘think globally, work locally,’ and this is one of those rare opportunities to act locally and have a global impact. That is what I find exciting about being able to participate.” In 2010 Ms. Tuck-Ponder traveled on a mission trip to the DRC with eight other members of the Princeton Church. “We went to the villages and met people in the president’s office,” she said. “We had an amazing, unforgettable experience, and the Church has continued to support the program.” She continued, “I’m just a little cog in the organization, because the real work happens over in the DRC, and I’m so pleased that we have been able to do it in a way that is culturally sensitive and allows for self-determination and allows people to address their own issues. It’s especially exciting for me, since I’m African American, to be able to do something on that continent. It’s really very special.” An Irish-American biologist and parasitologist, Mr. Campbell worked at the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research from 1957 to 1990, and was a research fellow at Drew University, where he taught courses in parasitology and supervised Continued on Next Page

Riverblindness

(Asked at Saturday’s event) (Photographs by Emily Reeves)

William Campbell Nobel Laureate u n d er g r ad u ate re s e arch from 1990 to 2010, when he retired. Currently a research fellow emeritus at Drew, Mr. Campbell lives in Massachusetts. Ms. Tuck-Ponder explained some of the factors contributing to UFAR’s striking success. “We have partnerships with organizations all over the world,” she said, “because we’ve come up with a system that’s so effective in distributing medication in an orderly way so we can be accountable about who’s received what dose when. We’ve been able to do that because Dr. Shungo is from the DRC and understands how the villages work, what the culture is. Instead of forcing people to adjust to our culture, our method of distribution adjusts to their culture. Other organizations have come to us and said, ‘Can you distribute our medication as well?’” She went on, “For example we visit the chief of the village, bring him gifts, talk to him, ask if we can distribute medications in that village. Then we ask him to appoint someone to be responsible for that distribution on an annual basis, because you have to take the medication every year for ten years. You can’t just come in from the outside, give them a bag of pills and say ‘hey, give this to everybody.’ That doesn’t work.” Mr. Campbell, as quoted in The Irish Times on the occasion of his Nobel Prize in 2015, emphasized the importance of his partnerships in working to develop Avermectin. “The greatest challenge for science is to think globally, think simply, and act accordingly,” he said. “It would be disastrous to neglect the diseases of the developing world. One part of the world affects another part. We have a moral obligation to look after each other, but we’re also naturally obligated to look after our own needs. It has to be both.” Mr. Campbell’s April 8 speech will begin at 5 p.m. in the United Methodist Church sanctuary. There is no charge to attend the talk, but donations to support UFAR are encouraged. An “African Soiree” fundraiser, with tickets at $100, $35 for children, will follow the speech at 6:30 p.m. in the Church’s Fellowship Hall.

• Recycling • MONDAY For Princeton

“I miss the library at Bainbridge House.” —Michael Lemonick, Princeton

“This is truly amazing. I think it’s great for our community. I remember the old library next to the Garden Theater on Nassau Street. I have seen the library develop and grow. What a beautiful project!” —Larry Spruill, Princeton

“Spectacular! It’s bright, it’s happy, it’s everything it should be in times like the world is today. It’s wonderful to have a place like this to reflect a community that is together.” —Phyllis Marchand, Princeton

“It’s a wonderful evolution of what libraries have to be these days. It’s far different from what we grew up with, a quiet place. This is inviting, interactive activity and community working together. I think it’s perfect.” —Ben Colbert, Lawrenceville

“It’s beautiful and ultra modern; however, there is still a little bit of history tucked here and there if you look for it. I love that, it’s true Princeton form. It’s cutting edge, moving forward, but yet the history is here as the base and background of the community.” —Paulette Biancamano, Ewing

“Accessible, well lit, beautiful ambiance, high tech, everything you could ask for.” —Adam Bierman, Princeton

With a focus on the social, emotional, and intellectual lives of her Littlebrook students over the past 14 years as principal, Ms. Kosek has established “a reputation for fairness, kindness, and the highest level of instructional leadership,” according to a recent announcement from the PPS. Prior to coming to Princeton, Ms. Kosek worked in Hopewell Valley, first as an elementary school teacher, later as K-12 staff developer, and eventually as a K-8 supervisor of Language Arts. Planning to draw on her experience as teacher, supervisor, and principal “to connect the pieces, collaborate, and most importantly, make decisions that strengthen teaching and learning in Princeton Pub-

lic Schools,” Ms. Kosek described her commitment, as principal and in her new position, “to help people grow every day. I’m looking forward to supporting the work of our teachers and administrators (we’ve got some of the best and brightest) in this new capacity. Among other things, I see my work as supporting and helping to shape the vision for each department, determining funding possibilities, facilitating cross-disciplinary work for both teachers and students, supporting professional development, and helping with program evaluation.” She added, “Having worked as a teacher, a supervisor, and a principal, I have intimate understandings of the challenges and joys that staff face at every level.” Ms. Kosek emphasized her focus on students at Littlebrook and her determination to carry that priority with her as assistant superintendent. “Knowing every student’s name, face and achievement data has allowed me to make more

personalized decisions and monitor the effectiveness of our programs and instructional strategies. Fourteen years of birthday lunches with the principal have allowed me to get to know every student personally. We tell jokes and riddles, have a birthday treat, and the students select a birthday book to add to their home library.” Littlebrook was recently rated by niche.com as the nu mber one elementar y school in New Jersey and number three in the country for 2017. The school has received a state nomination for Blue Ribbon School status for this year, and is currently completing the requisite application. But the most conspicuous signs of success have not necessarily been Ms. Kosek’s top priorities. “I know that beyond big newsworthy events and happenings at a school, it is the daily high-impact programs and approaches that make a school an exemplary one,” she said. “At Littlebrook, it is the steadfast work of

happy and dedicated teachers and support staff that results in thriving kids who skip happily to school every day.” Growing up near Buffalo, New York as the fifth of seven children, Ms. Kosek noted, “We understood from a very young age the power of education. All seven of us have post-graduate degrees and inherited our parents’ energy and work ethic. But what I most appreciate about my parents’ child-rearing is that they fully understood that play is a child’s work. I have wonderful memories of unstructured outdoor play — in the warm summer months and in multiple feet of Buffalo snow.” Ms. Kosek, who has lived in Hopewell Township for the past 24 years, described raising her two children — her daughter now an attorney and her son a musician with a passion for sustainable farming — as her “personal study in the power of the multiple intelligences theory. I have first-hand experience of the talents and gifts a child brings to a famFOCUSING ON THE STUDENTS: Annie Kosek, Littlebrook princiily — and to a school.” —Donald Gilpin pal soon to be district assistant superintendent, looks forward to using her experience as teacher, supervisor and principal to help her “make decisions that strengthen teaching and learning in Princeton Public Schools.”

Princeton Charter School Applications Due Monday for Weighted Lottery

Celebrating Excellence In Education Student Artists, Musicians, and Actors Flourishing at Competitions, Performances Fresh off the heels of a fantastic showing at the Berklee Jazz Festival, where both the Princeton High School Studio Band and Jazz Combo took home first place in the renowned national competition, the PHS band program is preparing to host and compete in two notable jazz festivals in April. The New Jersey Jazz State Finals will be held at PHS on April 22. Heading into this rigorous competition, the PHS Studio Band is ranked #1 in the state and the PHS Jazz Ensemble is ranked #3. To have both of PHS’ top bands going into the competition with such high rankings is an impressive feat; the State Finals will feature performances by the top high school jazz bands from throughout New Jersey. The competition is open to the public and will be held at the PHS Performing Arts Center on April 22 at 5:00 PM. Princeton community members are warmly invited to come cheer on the PHS bands.

Lottery registration forms for enrollment in Princeton Charter School (PCS) for the 2017-18 school year must be received by Monday, April 3 at 4 p.m. English and Spanish versions of the enrollment applications are available on the PCS website www.PCS.k12.NJ.US. The weighted lottery will take place next Wednesday, April 5 at 4 p.m. in PCS’s Marsee Center at 100 Bunn Drive. PCS’s weighted lotter y double s t he chance s of qualified students winning an open seat by placing the name of the student into the lottery twice, rather than once. Any family who can provide evidence of ONE of the following criteria will qualify for this enrollment advantage: 1. The child lives in Princeton public housing. 2. The child lives in Princeton Section 8 housing. 3. The child or guardian qualifies for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits. 4. The child already qualifies for a free or reduced

price lunch in his or her current public school. “We are very encouraged by the amount of community interest we have seen so far during this year’s application process and expect to fill all our open spots for next year with robust waiting lists,” said Larry Patton, PCS Head of School. “We are sincerely grateful to all of our community partners for doing such a great job in spreading the word about the tuition-free, worldclass educational opportunities that PCS offers,” Mr. Patton added. “Demand for enrollment among Princeton residents has been consistently strong every year — a clear indication that parents believe in our mission and want the PCS experience for their children.” ———

Record Exchange Owner To Receive Award in April

Jon Lamber t, owner of the Princeton Record Exchange, w ill be honored with The Learning Cooperatives’ Self Directed Learning Award at its Celebration of Self-Directed Learning on April 29. The event will be held from 2-4 p.m. at

Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place. T he award is g iven to community members who took an independent educational path and have gone on to c re ate s u cce s sf u l and meaningful lives. The Princeton Record Exchange is listed as one of the best music stores in America by Rolling Stone magazine, CNN, Time magazine, and other media. “It i s a n h onor to b e singled out for this award by T he L e ar n i ng C o op eratives. There were many challenges traveling down a non-traditional path, and I am happy, if a little surprised, to have succeeded as well as I have,” Mr. Lamber t said. “I have great empathy for those starting out on their own personal journeys, so it is my hope that sharing some of the principles that guided me will help them as well.” At the event, current teen members, parents of former members and staff members will also share inspiring stories of young people taking control of their time and education. The event is free and open to the public. Visit contact@ thelearning company.org. ———

On April 28 and 29, PHS will host the 11th annual Princeton Jazz Festival. The Princeton Jazz Festival is the largest educational jazz festival in New Jersey and includes performances from over 700 middle and high school jazz musicians each year. The groups who compete in the festival also get the chance to work closely with a guest artist/clinician. This year’s clinicians are award-winning jazz musicians Randy Brecker and Ada Ravotti. The Princeton Jazz Festival, which also serves as a major fundraiser for the PHS band program, is open to the public and will be held at the PHS Performing Arts Center. Middle school bands will perform at 5:00PM on April 28, and high school bands will perform at 5:00 PM on April 29. Tickets are available at the door: $10/adults and $5/students. While the PHS band program has been busy preparing for competitions and festivals, students in the PHS choirs recently took their music abroad. The choirs spent a week touring through Spain where the students rehearsed and performed alongside local choirs in Seville, Cordoba, and Granada. In addition to the performances, the students spent time learning about Spain’s culture and history by visiting historic sites, museums, and landmarks. This winter, the Numina Gallery at Princeton High School held its annual district-wide art show, featuring a colorful display of media created by artists from all schools within the district. This year’s theme for the show was Four Seasons, and each piece of art on display showcased students’ interpretations of Winter, Summer, Spring, and Fall. The annual show is a highlight in the art department since it brings together the work of students at all levels, from budding elementary artists to advanced high school artists. John Witherspoon Middle’s School’s sold-out performances of Beauty and the Beast at the beginning of March were a huge hit with audiences. The dazzling show highlighted the talent and enthusiasm of more than 100 middle school performers. From March 30 through April 1, Princeton High School will also be presenting a Disney classic, The Little Mermaid. The beloved tale, performed by an enormously talented cast of students, is sure to capture the hearts of all audience members, from the young to the young at heart. You won’t want to miss it! The show will be held in the PHS Performing Arts Center at 4:30pm on March 30, and at 7:30pm on March 31 and April 1. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Please call Mia Gargan at (609) 806-4270 for tickets and more information. Upcoming Arts Events to Mark Your Calendars: • The 40th Annual PHS Studio Band Concert will be held on Saturday, June 3, at 7:30pm in the PHS Performing Arts Center. • The PHS Choir’s Cabaret Night will be held on Saturday, June 10, at 7:30pm in the PHS Performing Arts Center.

Thanking Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale For Books for Blairstown’s Summer Bridge

To the Editor: Thank you for highlighting the annual Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale held at Princeton Day School in the March 22 edition of Town Topics [book review, page 15]. For the last two years, the Princeton-Blairstown Center and other charities have been able to take advantage of a wonderful benefit afforded to local non-profits that allows us to obtain boxes of age-appropriate books for free on the last day of the sale. What an incredible opportunity! This year we were able to select five boxes of books that will be given to low-income students who are served in our Summer Bridge Program, a program designed to help stem the summer learning loss for more than 200 students in Mercer County. Research indicates that “the best predictor of summer loss or summer gain is whether or not a child reads during the summer … research shows that public library use among poor children drops off when a library is more than six blocks from their home, compared with more than two miles for middle-class children.” This is one of many reasons why low-income students show an average loss in reading achievement over the summer, while middle-income students show an average gain. Thank you to everyone at the Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale and Princeton Day School for providing critical resources to help young people from low-income neighborhoods stem reading loss and broaden their world view.

Thoughts On 2017 Version of Annual “Fleecing” of the Princeton Taxpayer

To the Editor: While most Princeton residents have been busy going about their daily business and shoveling snow, two Princeton entities which declare ‘financial sustainability’ as an important goal have been focused on the significantly less sustainable objective of raising our property taxes yet again. Princeton Council has introduced an ordinance to exceed the New Jersey municipal property tax increase cap with up to a 3.5 percent tax increase (the original estimate was 6 percent!) and the Princeton School Board just voted for a $95 million budget that includes a 4.7 percent increase. The school budget represents about 50 percent of our property tax bills and the municipality about 22 percent. If the remaining components of property tax increase by the same amount, the tax bill for the average house in Princeton could go up by $500 to $1,000. Neither governing entity appears to be capable of the sort of budgetary and fiscal responsibility that would lead to financial sustainability. While the municipality is to hear public comment at the Council meeting on March 27 at 7 p.m., the School Board has avoided the former practice of local taxpayers voting on the school budget by moving school elections from the spring to the November ballot, thereby removing the nuisance of having to obtain specific public approval of the budget. Both the Princeton municipal budget and the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) budget have common problems: they are bloated with salary, benefits, and pension expenses and weighted down with significant debt service payments. In proposing tax increases, both groups are also depending upon waivers to increase their budgets well above New Jersey caps. In its tradition of deflecting responsibility for constantly rising school taxes, this year the PPS Board has found a convenient scapegoat — The Princeton Charter School. New Jersey property taxes are already double the national average and based on the lack of local fiscal restraint, no relief of any kind appears to be on the horizon for Princeton. From 2012, the last year before consolidation, until 2016, our average total property taxes went from $15,000/$16,000 (Borough/Township) to over $18,000.

between about 3 to 4 inconveniently-shaped acres. It was not only rejected previously by the Township for the proposed use, it was “promised” by the original shopping center applicants in the 1950s that it would be maintained as a “green” buffer zone between the shopping center and the surrounding area. My own frail, elderly, and marginally ambulatory status makes it effectively impossible for me to participate in meetings or other activities related to this proposal, and my wife’s situation is no better than mine. Intensive coverage in the future by Town Topics and attention from interested residents who are younger and more resilient than we are appear to offer our best hope that this apparently-reproposed departure from previous practice and long-ago commitments will not be permitted.

Princeton-Blairstown Center Provides Opportunities To Young People From Low-Income Communities Family That Started Curbside Composting Program Urges Others to Consider Joining Letter to the Editor:

over the past few weeks, I enjoyed seeing all the ads from the day and residential camp programs that help young people develop a vast array of skills that include cooking, skateboarding, gardening, traditional sports, STEM skills, swimming, acting, writing, directing, coding, and more. I wish I were young again and able to take advantage of these opportunities. unfortunately, there are children from low-income communities who have their whole lives ahead of them but who have fewer opportunities to participate in programs like these. Research points to the substantial gulf in spending on children’s enrichment and extracurricular activities, depending on economic strata. Those with higher disposable incomes are investing more heavily to enhance their childrens’ experiences and education, while other children must make do with far less. Research also shows that lowincome students experience more summer learning loss than their higher income peers, partly because they are less likely to participate in summer learning programs. according to the Partnership for 21st Century Learning, which comprises Fortune 500 business leaders and progressive educators, the “3Rs” educators focused on for the past 150 years have been joined if not overtaken in importance by “soft skills” like communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical-thinking. These skills are also vitally important for success in the new world of work. We should welcome, encourage, and support those summer programs that teach these skills. For the past 25 years, I have been deeply involved with the Princeton-Blairstown Center, an organization that was founded 109 years ago by Princeton university undergraduates. The Center provides high-quality summer experiences free of charge to young people from low-income communities. During the upcoming summer, we will provide, for example, 200 young people from Trenton with enriching and educational experiences that are usually reserved for their more affluent peers against whom they will be competing for jobs. I urge everyone in our community to support evidenced-based programs like ours. Programs that teach critical social-emotional skills like communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration and which help to reduce learning losses over the summer. our kids’ futures depend on it. Come to think of it, so do ours. MaRk L. aNTIN, ESq. adams Drive, Former Board Chair and Current Trustee, Princeton-Blairstown Center

On Revived Discussion of Assisted-Living Facility Near Shopping Center, Terhune

To the Editor: More than a decade ago a detailed proposal for an assisted-living facility on the one-time “greenbelt” lot between the Princeton Shopping Center and Terhune Road was presented, thoroughly considered, and rejected by Township Committee. Grounds for the rejection were not made public, to my recollection, but two of the principal objections had been the small size of the lot for such a facility and the disadvantageous location — from the perspective of presumably frail and marginally ambulatory elderly residents — immediately adjacent to the shopping center parking lot. In this past Saturday’s mail our household received a “Current Resident” mailing from an entity representing itself as “Sunrise Senior Living” which invited the recipients to a meeting at which “We will discuss our plans to provide high-quality assisted living and memory care services in the heart of Princeton (near Princeton Shopping Center).” The long-ago applicant whose plans were turned down had a similar but not identical corporate name and logo, to the best of my recollection. The only plot of land “near Princeton Shopping Center” that seems to qualify for housing the described services appears to me to be the one for which such use was rejected the first time it was proposed. It is startling to be abruptly informed that the current developer has reached a state in his planning that suggests he is newly encouraged to feel that the site will now be approved. I have seen no mention of such a proposal in Town Topics or elsewhere, nor of a zoning change that would make such a project acceptable. The lot — my memory claims — is between 900 and 1200 feet long parallel to Terhune and 150 feet deep from Terhune to the shopping center parking lot, or

To the Editor: our family started the Curbside Composting Program two years ago after learning about it from a neighbor. Honestly, we were nervous that the change would be difficult and inconvenient. In fact, transitioning to composting was very easy! We keep the small container on the counter next to the kitchen sink; this holds a three gallon compostable bag that neatly collects our daily food scrapings, tea bags, coffee filters, paper towels. Every night this is the damp, compostable waste that gets put out in the Green organics Cart. our regular kitchen garbage can now go several days without needing to be taken out. So easy! To minimize cost we order the Biobags in bulk on the internet. The large Green organics Cart is collected curbside every Wednesday and is convenient for adding sticks and other yard waste … and all those pizza boxes! We are only one family, but it makes us happy to know we are generating less landfill garbage. If you are not already, please consider joining the Princeton Curbside organics Program. Details can be found on the municipal website, www.princetonnj.gov. THE LINko FaMILy Dodds Lane

Charges of Segregation Are Rooted In A Misrepresentation of Dr. Rubin’s Data

To the Editor: I am puzzled by the discrepancy between Dr. Julia Sass Rubin’s measured public statements on evolving Princeton Charter School (PCS) demographics and the charges of segregation espoused by keep PPS Strong. The latter’s charges are rooted in a misrepresentation of Dr. Rubin’s data, which they publicly stated were supplied to them by her. I attended Dr. Rubin’s presentation on January 11, hosted by Superintendent Cochrane in the JWMS auditorium. Responding to questions about why PCS enrollment of low-income students declined precipitously in ’08-’09, she quite clearly stated that a number of factors could be responsible such as the recession, families becoming wealthier, etc. She was quite clear that the data she had was insufficient to test these hypotheses. In a private communication four days later, I suggested the recession caused a “disruption in peer recruitment.” She responded this was “feasible” but did not have “[data] to go on.” at no point did she suggest that it might be the result of deliberate policy. In contrast to Dr. Rubin’s remarks, keep PPS Strong’s opposition to PCS has coalesced around the accusation that the decline in low-income student enrollment is the desired result of “inequitable, racist policies.” Those words are Cara Carpenito’s, but her March 8 letter to Town Topics was reproduced without comment on the group’s Facebook page, as was the Latino Coalition’s press release for its federal civil rights complaint (which references Dr. Rubin’s data), and of course the replication of many of Dr. Rubin’s PCS slides with the tag #publiclyfundedsegregation. Since Dr. Rubin’s work is a cornerstone to the opposition to PCS espoused by keep PPS Strong, I would like to know why she has allowed the group to replace her well-reasoned concerns about the demographic effects of the expansion with such egregious speculation?

Mailbox Letters Do Not Necessarily Reflect the Views of Town Topics

This rate of growth of the already highest property taxes in the nation is NoT sustainable. Last year, the NJBIa released the results of a study entitled “outmigration by the Numbers, How do We Stop the Exodus? ” It noted that between 2004 and 2013, over 2,000,000 people left New Jersey, taking over $18 billion in net adjusted gross income with them. The exodus spans all age groups, with millennials leaving in droves as well as the wealthy (who can afford to move). The reasons for leaving are always the same: higher property taxes, more regulation, and budgetary excess. as a result of outmigration, revenues are down as well. apparently, our local elected officials and school board plan to continue supporting the exodus.

assistance of an outside firm, several options aimed at preserving Westminster’s strong legacy,” reads a statement released after the meeting. “In this process, the University will seek an institution to purchase the campus and operate the Westminster programs in Princeton or to relocate the Westminster programs to a new location.” Rider came to Westminster’s rescue in 1992 when the choir college, which has been in Princeton since 1932, was in financial trouble. “Rider University invested in the growth of Westminster and made it a better place of learning,” Mr. Dell’Omo said in the press release. “Today, it’s time to take Westminster to a new, stronger level by finding an institution ready to build on its history of excellence.” As an 11-member task force explored the issue, a group called The Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College

grew in strength, recently filing for incorporation status as a non-profit. Members of the Westminster Choir College Leadership Council met a few weeks ago with Mr. Dell’Omo, sharing their ideas about how to save the institution. The group suggested the school go public and find an “affiliation partner” that would save them money. Mr. Dell’Omo acknowledged Tuesday that he had met with the group and taken their ideas to heart. There have been inquiries from interested institutions, he said, but declined to name them or quote a purchase price. “We have a range in mind but don’t want to share it,” he said. Earlier in the day, hundreds of Westminster supporters stood outside North Hall, the Rider campus building where the Board was holding its meeting. Placards reading such sentiments as “Stop the Sale” and “Make Westminster Choir College a Part of the Solution” were raised high. The crowd was mostly

quiet, but broke into a haunting chorus, as some members of the Board walked into the building. When the decision was announced later in the day, some Coalition members were on hand to comment. “We are very happy to hear this great news,” said Mona Davids, a leader of the group. “This is what the Coalition has been seeking all along — that Rider is allowing us to seek out a partner that will preserve the legacy of Westminster Choir College. Today is a victory not just for the Coalition, but for schools all over the world. It is a victory for the classical music industry. We are very pleased that the Board has seen the light and look forward to working with them to find an affiliate partner.” —Anne Levin

Applications for Jewish Peer Leadership Program

Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County is currently accepting 11th and 12th grade teens (as of the 201718 school year) to participate in Gesher LeKesher, a Jewish peer leadership program. As Gesher “madrichim” (peer leaders), teens lead a group of 7th-9th grade “talmidim” (learners) in outreaches addressing topics from a

Jewish perspective including friendships, the impact of social media, peer pressure, healthy dating relationships, and antisemitism on campus. Gesher LeKesher is an opportunity to develop leadership skills, which can be used in college and beyond. Last year’s peer leaders represented 10 area high schools. Gesher LeKesher meets six hours per month (either Monday or Wednesday night and Sunday morning). For more information, visit www.jfcsonline.org/ gesher-lekesher/ or contact Celeste Albert at (609) 9878100 ext. 210 or celestea@ jfcsonline.org. ———

Sarah Mook Poetry Contest Open for K-12 Students

This is the 13th year for the Sarah Mook Poetry Contest. The postmark deadline for entries is March 31.

A fund was established by Sarah’s family specifically for the purpose of funding these awards. Cash awards are $100 first prize, $50 second prize, $25 third prize in each of four categories: kindergarten through second, third through fifth, sixth through eighth, and ninth through twelfth. An optional donation of $5 is appreciated, and will be donated in Sarah’s name to a designated charity. Previously, a gift of $520 was made to Save the Children, which will be the charity again this year. While cash awards and charitable giving are important, the focus of the contest is always the young poets and their poems. One teacher wrote: “This year my most ‘troubled’ students wrote with their soul!” A parent wrote: “You should

know that this experience strengthened … [my son’s] belief in his writing and inspired him to write more.” These testimonials affirm the power of poetry, the value of the mission of Sarah’s contest, as well as the value of each poet and each poem written. Careful consideration is given to all poems submitted, and the finalist’s poems are read numerous times before any decisions are made. Final judge Marie Kane takes great care in judging each poem and provides a detailed commentary on the poetic merits of each of the winning poems. Previous winners and runners-up are allowed to enter again (as they often have over the years) provided they use different poems.

NJ Humanities Council Awards Incubation Grants

Historic Morven is among the organizations recently awarded funding from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. The agency donated $37,495 in incubation grants to eight museums and educational programs throughout the state. Morven was given $5,000 to develop an internal strategy for involving the community in answering questions about how to share the historical stories of enslaved men, women, and children as the site goes through a reinterpretation process. Other organizations funded were Bergen County Community College, Cherry Hill Public Library, Kidsbridge Tolerance Center, West Orange Public Library, William Paterson University, William Trent House, and Writers Theatre of New Jersey. “In order to bring communities programming that will be beneficial and appealing, organizations often need to try out new ideas,” said NJCH Executive Director Dr. Briann G. Greenfield. “Great humanities programming expands participants’ horizons and allows them to explore significant and complex concepts. Incubation grants are especially designed to encourage innovative thinking and to develop new ways to access and apply the humanities in New Jersey.” NJCH awards Incubation Grants up to $5,000 to experiment, research, prototype, and consider new models and topics for public humanities programs. NJCH also awards Action Grants, up to $20,000, to implement or expand programs. Organizations interested in learning more about NJCH’s grant program should visit njch. org/grants.

Salon on Stockton Street Brings Four Writers to Princeton Friday Princeton’s own literary festival, the Salon on Stockton Street, returns for its second year from Friday, March 31, through Sunday April 2. Two neighbors on Stockton Street, Morven Museum and Garden, and the Center of Theological Inquiry (CTI), are collaborating once again to host a varied international program of book interviews with authors from Ireland, the U.S.A., New Zealand, Scotland, and the Netherlands, a one-man play on Charles Darwin, and a private tour of Morven’s Bruce Springsteen photographic exhibition. The Salon opens at 5:30 p.m. on Friday evening with a reception at Morven to meet the authors and enjoy a private tour of the Bruce Springsteen exhibition with Morven curator Beth Allan. On Saturday, BBC broadcaster Sally Magnusson will interview four very different authors from around the world at CTI’s Luce Hall. Philip McDonagh, the former Irish ambassador to Russia and a published poet in his native Ireland, will discuss Gondla, his own translation of a Russian play about an Irish legend set in Iceland. David Grinspoon is an American planetary scientist whose book, Earth in Human Hands, tells the story of how humans are changing the planet for both good and ill. A prize-winning crime novelist in New Zealand, Liam McIlvanney will discuss the first two novels in his Conway Trilogy about a Glasgow journalist in the world of crime and politics in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In closing, Ms. Magnusson will discuss the challenge of writing family memoirs with Pia de Jong, a Dutch writer now living in Princeton. Local Princeton businesses are also part of the Salon on Saturday. Labyrinth Books will run book sales and author signings at Luce Hall, and Jammin’ Crepes will have its food truck at Morven for lunch.

Dorothea’s House Hosts Program of Italian Tales

The Power of Love, a program of Italian tales told in the oral tradition by storyteller Maria LoBiondo, will be presented at Dorothea’s House on Sunday, April 2, at 5 p.m. Italian folk and fairy tales have roots in ancient myths, the earthy wisdom of peasant experience, and literary works such as Giambattista Basile’s Pentamerone. Ms. LoBiondo will tell stories in which love conquers all — for hard-working families, royal heroes, and clever heroines. For more than 20 years, Ms. LoBiondo has shared international folktales in area schools, libraries, and festivals, including the New Jersey Storytelling Festival. She is a member of the Princeton Storytelling Circle and an affiliated artist with Storytelling Arts, Inc.

Lalaie Ameeriar and feminist historian Joan Scott will be talking about Ms. Ameeriar’s book, Downwardly Global: Women, Work, and Citizenship in the Pakistani D ia sp ora on T hu r s d ay, March 30 at 6 p.m. at Labyrinth Books. In Downwardly Global, Lalaie Ameeriar examines the transnational labor migration of Pakistani women to Toronto, where, despite being trained professionals in fields including engineering, law, medicine, and education, they experience high levels of unemployment and poverty. Rather than addressing this downward mobility as the result of bureaucratic failures, in practice their unemployment is treated as a problem of culture and racialized bodily difference. In Toronto, a city that prides itself on multicultural inclusion, women are subjected to two distinct cultural contexts revealing that integration in Canada represents not the erasure of all differences, but the celebration of some differences and the eradication of others. Downwardly Global juxtaposes the experiences of these women in state-funded unemployment workshops, where they are instructed not to smell like Indian food or wear ethnic clothing, with their experiences at cultural festivals in which they are encouraged to promote these same differences. This form of multiculturalism, Ms. Ameeriar reveals, privileges whiteness while using race, gender, and cultural difference as a scapegoat for the failures of Canadian neoliberal policies. L alaie A meeriar is as sistant professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Joan Wallach Scott is professor emerita at the Institute for Advanced Study

and the author of many books, including Only Paradoxes to Offer: French Feminists and the Rights of Man; Parité: Sexual Equality and the Crisis of French Universalism; The Politics of the Veil; and The Fantasy of Feminist History. She is also a founding editor of History of the Present, a journal of theoretically-informed history. ———

New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz will be at Labyrinth Books Sunday, April 2 at 12:30 p.m. to read from her new book, The Devil and Webster: a Novel ( Grand Central $27). From the author of You Should Have Known and Admission, the new novel is about a college president, a baffling student protest, and some of the hotbutton issues on today’s college campuses. According to The Wall Street Journal, The Devil and Webster is “A sharp and insightful novel … with a clever plot twist …. This ought to be the start of a golden age for the campus novel.” Booklist obser ves that “Korelitz taps into the current unsettled campus and cultural zeitgeist with eerie precision.” Jean Hanff Korelitz is the author of five novels and the creator of BOOKTHEWRITER, a New York City based service that sends authors to book groups.

Jacob Appel will be discussing his book, co-authored with Dean Karlan, Failing in the Field: What We Can Learn When Field Research Goes Wrong with social scientists Christopher Neilson and Betsy Levy Paluck at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, March 29 at 6 p.m. All across the social sciences, from development economics to political science departments, researchers are going into the field to collect data and learn about the world. While much has been gained from the successes of randomized controlled trials, stories of failed projects often do not get told. In Failing in the Field, Jacob Appel and Dean Karlan examine the common causes of failure in field research, so that researchers might avoid similar pitfalls in future work. Drawing on the experiences of top social scientists working in developing countries, Failure in the Field examines failed projects and helps guide practitioners as they embark on their research. From experimental design and implementation to analysis and partnership agreements, Karlan and Appel show that there are important lessons to be learned from failures at every stage. They describe five common

for Pulmonary and Allergy Associates in Summit; Tara Oakman, senior program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; Christine Grant, former New Jersey Commissioner of Health and Senior Services; and Julie Pantelick, practicing physician in Trenton and faculty member in the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis Medical Center. Mr. Epstein led off the presentations with an explanation of “how we got to where we are today,” a condensed histor y of t he countr y’s healthcare delivery system, from 1901 with the reorganization of the American Medical Association (AMA) up through the start of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, introduction of HMOs in the 1970s, rising health care costs and American medicine in a crisis mode through most of the past decades up to the ACA of 2010. Ms. Oakman then posed the question “How is the ACA doing? ” as she reviewed the key elements of the ACA, “what it achieved and where challenges remain.” She pointed out that despite considerable po litical resistance, access to health insurance has risen significantly over the past seven years, though 28 million Americans remain uninsured. Ms. Oakman went on to explore ways to reduce the uninsured rate and to improve the health of the marketplace. She concluded that many factors in Washington or in state gover nments could discourage participation in the ACA and undermine the program.

Focusing on the ACA and the expansion of Medicaid in New Jersey, Ms. Grant then described a number of risks to the stability of the ACA and of medical care in the state, including a dwindling pool of interested insurers, high debt levels among young people, structural lower employment, uninsured, undocumented residents, and federal regulatory changes. Urging continued education and advocacy to enhance the stability of the ACA, Ms. Grant proposed continuing political involvement at all levels to ensure tax-subsidized healthcare locally and nationally. Ms. Pantelick’s remarks, including the moving story of a patient who “would probably have died in the ICU if he hadn’t had insurance,” delineated how the ACA had changed the lives and helped many of the most complicated cases of the underserved in New Jersey. She went on to propose a range of political, societal and cultural reforms needed in the U.S. “Do we want to be a healthy country?” she asked. “Are we really serious about reforming health care?” Concluding with an outline of strategies for defending the ACA on the federal and state levels, Indivisible Princeton representative Kathy Taylor went on to entertain a range of comments and questions from the audience. There was significant interest in pursuing further discussion of a single-payer healthcare system and the possibility of Medicare for all in New Jersey, but that topic was left for a later

date. The goal of Monday’s session, Ms. Taylor stated, was not to come up with alternative health plans but to focus on “preventing damage to the ACA from the current administration, resisting the Trump agenda in a bipartisan way.” —Donald Gilpin

works for Gallery 13 North’s upcoming group show “Abstract Innovation” which will run from April 8 to July 9. The opening reception is scheduled for April 8 at 2 p.m. Lourdes Ral graduated from the University of Barcelona in 2000 with a BA in art history, she also completed communication and art criticism degrees from Girona University. Since 2000, her mixed media artworks of pastel, acrylic, and tempera gained an international following through exhibitions in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Austria, and Germany. In addition, Ral par ticipated in A r t E xpo Barcelona. Her artwork symbolizes the strong presence of time, inspired by the hustle and bustle of small cafes in the Las Ramblas district of Barcelona and other transportation hubs in Catalonia. Her characters are travelers and locals intermingling in cafes or reading books as time passes in their everyday lives. “Galler y 13 Nor th has given me the opportunity to showcase my paintings in the U.S. for the first time. Showing the streets of Barcelona, the interiors of buildings, and the interaction of people in my paintings will create a bridge between Barcelona and New Jersey,” says Ral. International artist Cathy Minniti will also show her works at the group art exhibition. Minniti was born in 1935 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and reconnected with art in the adult years of her life. She became a prolific artist in 1982. Her abstract works are motivated by philosophy and literature. Her works reflect a personal story as well as the life of humankind. Past solo exhibitions include shows at Manzana de las Luces Museum in Argentina, the Metropolitan Museum of Art of Buenos Aires, Prallsville Mills, and

dition to her solo shows, her works were displayed at the Argentinian Embassy in New York, National Congress of Buenos Aires, and 11th Congress of Art in Palermo Viejo among many others. T h r e e a d d i t i o n a l a r tists with different media styles will adorn Gallery 13 North space at this upcoming show. Marcel Juillerat, Robert M. Baum, and Wayne Cunningham are no strangers to the Delaware Valley and the Lambertville art scene. While this will be the gallery’s first representation of Cunningham’s abstract works, both Juillerat and Baum recently had solo shows at Gallery 13 North that highlighted traditional impres sion ist ic paint ing styles and plein air landscapes. At the “Abstract Innovation” show on April 8, patrons can see a different side of their artistry. Six never-before-seen geometric abstracts by Juillerat will be on display as well as Baum’s free-form abstracts. Gallery 13 North is located at 13 North Union Street in Lamber tville. Hours are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.– 6 p.m. and Sunday n o o n – 5 p.m . Fo r m o r e i n for m at ion, v i s it w w w. Gallery13North.com.

Music and Theater Scourge of Martha’s Vineyard Trophy Homes Is Topic of Film Festival Feature Screening Thomas Bena was working as a carpenter on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard when he started noticing that homes being built were getting bigger — a lot bigger. On land overlooking the ocean where modest, clapboard homes once stood, huge mansions many times their size were going up at a rapid pace. Mr. Bena was alarmed. An amateur filmmaker who had made short features with friends and founded the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival 17 years ago, he decided to do a full documentary that would bring attention to what was clearly a growing trend. One Big Home, which screens at the Princeton Public Library’s Princeton Environmental Film Festival (PEFF) on Friday, March 31, is an absorbing account of a community’s effort to deal successfully with the issue of protecting character and environment while supporting the local economy. “I had seen some of the houses my fr iends were working on, and I couldn’t even fathom that anyone would need a house this big,” said Mr. Bena, who has lived on Martha’s Vineyard for 19 years. “I mean, there were 20,000 -square-feet houses. They are used only a few months a year if that, but they are heated all year because they have million

dollar art collections and tropical hardwoods, so you can’t let the heat fluctuate that much. That’s the part that horrified me.” Growing up in Middleboro, Massachusetts, Mr. Bena worked in the business world after graduating from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. “But it wasn’t for me,” he recalled. “So I went traveling around. I saw so many places that had been ruined by this kind of thing. It only takes a few decades. So I was concerned.” To do justice to One Big Home, Mr. Bena knew he had to raise money and hire professionals. The issue was contentious. On one side, there were builders making a good living from the mega-projects wiling to look the other way. On the other were longtime residents angry about changes to the landscape of their beloved island. “The board was nervous about fundraising at first,” he said. “But this is not an anti-wealth film. It really is pro-community. We ended up selling out 10 times last summer, and people are still going to see the film. I think it was kind of like the elephant in the room, like you can’t bite the hand that feeds you. But it has been very well received.”

One Big Home follows Mr. Bena from when he first started filming on the sly at a construction site to the planning board meetings where, ultimately, a new bylaw limiting house size was voted in. Filming took years. We watch Mr. Bena evolve as he becomes a husband and doting father. He is distinctly uncomfortable when the charming but rotted-beyond-repair house on property he and his wife acquire will have to come down. In its place, another house goes up — a microcosm of the situation to which he is so opposed. “I talk about my own experience in the film,” he said. “My wife and I built a home that is 2,900 square feet, twice as big as the home I grew up in. That was weird for me at first.” Smitten with family life, notably his adorable baby daughter, Mr. Bena tells the camera at one point that he is through trying to change the mega-mansion situation on the island, and is focusing instead on his own home and future. But it doesn’t take long for him to jump back into the fray. When the owner of a huge summer house close to falling into the ocean buys the neighboring property so he can roll the house back, the film crew is on hand to document the move. “That was

SIZE MATTERS: When this Martha’s Vineyard mega-mansion came close to falling into the sea, the owner simply bought up the neighboring property and had it moved back. The house is among several that inspired the filmmaker to make “One Big Home,” one of the offerings at the Princeton Environmental Film Festival through this weekend at Princeton Public Library. the most outrageous thing I saw,” he said. “It wasn’t easy, but we got it.” The film festival, which began Monday and r uns through this Sunday, April 2, includes several events in addition to screenings including a single author program, poetr y, a late night program for students featuring break dancers, and refreshments supplied by Small World Coffee and The Bent Spoon. Remaining screenings of films on a variety of topics about the natural world and the built environment are at the library and various locations at Princeton University. A full schedule is available at www.princetonlibrary.org. Mr. Bena and producer/ director James Holland will be on hand to answer ques-

tions following the screening of One Big Home on Friday at 7 p.m. “The Vineyard is like so many small places in America, where people who live and work there are being pushed out because they can’t afford to stay,” he said. “Like any good documentary film, this one doesn’t have

the answers. But we have to open a dialogue. A lot of environmental films can be downers. But I really think mine is more of a positive statement that local people can protect their environment. They just have to get in there and do the work.” —Anne Levin

Xian Zhang Leads NJSO With Flair and Drama

ew Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO) has clearly entered a new era of performance and programming. Music Director Xian Zhang, nearing the end of her first season with the orchestra, has made her mark on the ensemble with vibrant conducting and the ability to draw an incredibly wide range of dynamic and stylistic shadings from both the players and the repertoire she has selected for her inaugural year. Ms. Zhang and the NJSO came to Richardson Auditorium this past weekend to demonstrate the depths of the ensemble’s musical stamina and her own fierce command of the podium. Friday night’s performance at Richardson was subtitled “Zhang Conducts Beethoven’s Seventh,” but Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 was hardly the only significant work on the program. Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1 in D Major, which opened the concert, was linked to the Beethoven work with its homage to the music of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In this symphony, Prokofiev’s crystalline orchestration and melodic clarity belied the revolutionary and tumultuous period of Russian history in which the work was composed. Conducting from memory, Ms. Zhang began Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony with a bang, with sharp decisive conducting strokes and immediately finding the music’s lyrical subphrases. Wind solos were crisp, especially from flutist Bart Feller and oboist Robert Ingliss. The first movement’s second subject was played delicately, complemented by Robert Wagner’s steady solo bassoon playing. Ms. Zhang elicited real contrasts in dynamics, eventually drawing a very full sound from the orchestra. Octaves in the winds sounded like the ticking of a clock, and one could easily hear Prokofiev’s humor in the music. Throughout the symphony, Ms. Zhang was always building or moving the orchestral sound, never allowing things to stay still. The familiar fourth movement took off in a swirl of classical instrumentation, with clean winds and light timpani, and given the continually joyful musical palette, one would never suspect that Prokofiev’s homeland Russia was in chaos. Although also composed in 20th century Russia, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Minor was written under very different circumstances — between two world wars, yet was also an homage to an earlier musical period. Orchestrated for a neo-Baroque combination of strings, solo piano, and solo trumpet, the concerto retained a dark Russian melancholy, contrasted with a furious and

fervent solo piano part. Joining the NJSO for this performance was Czech pianist Lukáš Vondráˇcek, who has been performing since the age of four and has a solid 15 years of experience performing with orchestras. Mr. Vondráˇcek played very close to the keyboard, executing solo passages that never stopped, from lightning-speed octaves to keyboard filigree in the upper octaves of the piano. Throughout the work, Ms. Zhang kept her conducting gestures clean to keep the rhythm going as Mr. Vondráˇcek’s piano solo work was matched by solo trumpeter Garth Greenup, principal trumpeter for the NJSO. Mr. Greenup’s solo lines were lyrical, contrasting with the virtuosic keyboard passages. An icy melody from the violins marked the second movement with a sense of poignancy, as Mr. Vondráˇcek added both sensitivity and a bit of humor to the texture, and Mr. Greenup subtly topped off the sound with a muted trumpet. The third movement was primarily a piano solo, with the orchestra coming into its own in a closing movement which required the best from soloists and ensemble. Both piano and trumpet soloists took off on virtuosic streaks, and although Mr. Vondráˇcek rarely looked up from the keyboard, piano and orchestra were always together, as the concerto closed with a humorous cadenza recalling music of composers who had gone before. Ms. Zhang’s approach to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major was also multi-leveled, as she led a nicely scaleddown orchestra in a performance which was both elegant and dramatic. Ms. Zhang packed a lot of power into her conducting, but kept the lid on the musical drama until the right time for the orchestra to reach full volume. The second movement Allegretto in particular was built up slowly, with the strings eventually playing out fully, punctuated by brass. In the quieter sections, Ms. Zhang seemed to place delicate wind solos on top of the orchestral texture, and closed the work with grace and finesse. riday night’s concert not only showed Ms. Zhang’s dynamic leadership style from the podium for also the orchestra’s commitment to music education, with a short performance by one of the stars of the ensemble’s education programs. NJSO has a commitment to being a statewide organization addressing all aspects of musical performance and the concert in Richardson was a solid example of a great future with a new music director. —Nancy Plum

New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s final Princeton concert for the 2016-17 season will be on Friday, May 12 in Richardson Auditorium. Xian Zhang will lead the orchestra in music of Mozart and Schubert, as well as the Jean Sibelius violin concerto, featuring soloist Jennifer Koh.

In a new par t nership, WWFM The Classical Network will air New Jersey Symphony Orchestra concert broadcasts on Friday, March 31; Thursday, April 27; and Friday, June 2. Each broadcast will air at 8 p.m. on 89.1 FM and stream simultaneously online at www. wwfm.org. The programs will feature music by Tchaikovsky, Haydn, Strauss, and more in performances led by Music Director Xian Zhang, recorded live at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. Webcasts will become available for on-demand listening on the NJSO and WWFM websites. On March 31, WWFM airs Zhang’s debut program as music director, featuring a trio of Tchaikovsky scores — t he Fif t h Sy mphony, First Piano Concerto (with pianist Simon Trpcˇeski) and the Polonaise from Eugene Onegin. Zhang “showed complete command of these scores and a deep feeling for them,” The New York Times wrote in its concert review. The performance “spoke to meticulous preparation by Ms. Zhang, but also to a certain freedom and risk-taking on the part of the players that suggested an enthusiastic and confident response to her direction.” The April 27 broadcast features Haydn’s Symphony No. 102 and Strauss’s Suite from Der Rosenkavalier, recorded in November 2016, and Tchaikovsky’s Fourth S y m p h o n y a n d Ma r c he Slave, recorded in April 2016. T h e S t a r - L e d g e r praised the chemistry between orchestra and conductor in April: “Employing her theatrical conducting style, poised on the balls of her feet, often leaping with arms outstretched and making compact but forceful baton gestures, Zhang coaxed

precise pizzicato playing from the strings, various emotional shadings from the woodwinds, and Wagnerian crescendos from the horns.” Zhang brought “not just skill but also heart,” the paper wrote in its November review. Program details for the June 2 broadcast will become available at www.njsymphony.org/broadcasts at a later date. NJSO President and CEO Gabriel van Aalst says: “We are delighted that WWFM will present these concert broadcasts, bringing some of the NJSO and Xian Zhang’s standout performances from the past year to its wide network of listeners.” WWFM The Classical Network began broadcasting on September 6, 1982, and is a full-time classical music station serving New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania via FM, Philadelphia, via HD Radio, and worldwide via live internet stream at www.wwfm.org. ———

nearly $16 million in 2016. “Our Greater Mercer Grants program helps fund nonprofits doing terrific work in the region,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Princeton Area Community Foundation. “Through the Trenton Children’s Chorus, youngsters experience the joy of music, gain confidence, and develop social and academic skills. We’re proud to support the program.” Trenton Children’s Chorus will be performing at the 18th annual “Spring into Song” on Sunday, April 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Central Church, 2015 Pennington Road, Ewing Township. TCC will host their own annual Spring Concert on Friday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 471 Parkway Avenue, Trenton.

Judd Hirsch “The Value of Names” At George Street Playhouse

Two-time Emmy and Tony Award winner Judd Hirsch and stage and screen veteran Dan Lauria perform at George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick on May 11 in The Value of Names. Tickets start at $35. To purchase, call the box office

at (732) 246-7717 or visit GSPonline.org. In The Value of Names, Benny Silverman (Hirsch) is a retired comic whose career was derailed by the McCarthy-era blacklist. His actress daughter is working on a project when the director falls ill and is forced to step down. Taking his place is the man who betrayed Benny to the House Un-American Activities Committee — and his former best friend, Leo Greshen (Lauria). These circumstances converge to give the two men the opportunity to confront each other — face-to-face. Judd Hirsch made his stage debut in the early 1960s. In 1978, he landed his breakout role as Alex Reiger on the hit sitcom Taxi, for which he won two Emmy Awards. Around this time, he scored

an Oscar nomination for his performance in the 1980 film Ordinary People. He won Tony Awards for Best Lead Actor in a Play for I’m Not Rappaport in 1986 and Conversations with My Father in 1992. Dan L aur ia ret ur ns to George Street Playhouse for the first time since the 2007 production of The Value of Names co-starring Jack Klugman. Previous appearances at George Street include the 1998 and 2006 pro duc t ions of Inspecting Carol, and 2005’s The Winning Streak. His stage credits also include a critically acclaimed portrayal of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi in Lombardi on Broadway in 2010. George Street Playhouse is located at 9 Livingston Avenue, in New Brunswick.

Microscopic Martian Matter Morphs Into Monster

receive a single-cell organism that will be arriving via a space probe from the surface of Mars and deliver it to Earth. It all sounds easy as the disarming plotline initially devotes itself to developing the characters’ back stories, such as David’s service in the Iraq War. When the capsule arrives, they celebrate the discovery of the first incontrovertible proof of life beyond Earth. Sho’s daughter even gives the apparently innocuous substance a cute name, unaware of the danger that is lurking. The plot thickens when “Calvin” begins reproducing via mitosis, and every cell of its luminescent ectoplasmic mass contains a mix of brains and muscles. By the 25th day, the sentient creature develops protoappendages and becomes strong enough to breach its container. Initially, it nibbles on Hugh’s finger, who somehow discerns that “Calvin doesn’t hate us, but he’s got to kill us to survive.” What ensues is a desperate race against time to return to Earth before the mushrooming monster devours them one at a time. Reminiscent of science fiction classics such as Alien (1979) and Species (1995), Life is a worthy addition to the extraterrestrial threat genre. Substantial credit goes to Jake Gyllenhaal who gives an impressive performance. Prepare yourself for a screamfest that will keep you squirming in your seat. E xc e l l e n t ( HHHH ) .

ecently Hollywood has been making some outer space adventures, such as The Martian (2015) and The Space between Us (2017), in which the Red Planet is a benign environment that is free of hostile creatures. In contrast, Life is a horror film about a terrifying alien force from Mars that comes to an international space station. Directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House), the thriller co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds as Dr. David Jordan and Roy Adams, respectively, the space ship Pilgrim 7’s flight engineer and chief medical officer. The rest of the six-person crew members are Center for Disease Control quarantine specialist Dr. Miranda North (Rebecca Ferguson), systems engineer Sho Kendo (Hiroyuki Sanada), eco-biologist Dr. Hugh Derry (Ariyon Bakare), and the spaceship’s captain, Katerina Golovkin (Olga Dihovichnaya).

Documentary Screening On Defunding Public Ed

The New Jersey Association of State Colleges and Universities (NJASCU) invites you to a free screening of the higher education documentary (2016) film Starving the Beast on Wednesday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Princeton Garden Theatre. The thought-provoking film about the systematic defunding of public higher education throughout the country will be followed by a discussion with NJASCU CEO Michael Klein. According to the March 25, 2016 review in the Huffington Post: “No film better exposes the coordinated assault on public higher education that is going on right now.” Dr. Klein will relate the movie’s content to the declining state funding for New Jersey’s senior public higher education institutions. Significantly reduced state support impacts college affordability and access for New Jersey’s students, as well as the economic health of the state. The New Jersey Association of State Colleges and Universities is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, created by state law in 1985 to support and advocate on behalf of New Jersey’s senior public institutions of higher education.www.njascu.org For more infor mation, visit www.thegardentheatre.com.

Senior Star McBride Hits 100 Points in Career But Frustrated as PU Men’s Lax Falls to Yale

avin McBride had 99 points in his career for the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team as the Tigers hit the field to host Yale last Friday afternoon. It didn’t take long for senior attacker McBride to hit the century mark as he assisted on a Zach Currier goal 25 seconds into the contest to put the Tigers up 1-0. Unfortunately for McBride and his teammates, that was the only time they led the Bulldogs all day long as Yale answered with three straight goals to go ahead 3-1. The Tigers did knot the contest at 8-8 early in the third quarter but yielded another three-goal run by Yale and the Bulldogs held on for a 16-13 triumph. While McBride, who didn’t score any points as a freshman, was proud to hit the 100-point mark, hitting the milestone was bittersweet coming in a tough loss. “It is nice; it is more of a testament to the guys I have played more than anything

else,” said McBride, who ended up with a career high seven points on five goals and two assists. “They have put me in a good spot. I would have liked three more today.” McBride acknowledged that Princeton wasn’t in a good spot as it dug the early hole, trailing 8-4 late in the first half. “It’s always tough when you go down early in the first quarter and first half,” said McBride. “It always tough to gain back momentum, especially with a team like that.” Scoring a pair of goals to make it an 8-6 game at halftime, Princeton came out firing in the second half as senior star Zach Currier tallied twice to pull the Tigers even at 8-8. “We came out strong; Zach [Currier] made a nice play,” said McBride. “We definitely felt some good momentum in the beginning of the second half.” Yale responded by reeling

off five unanswered goals and never looked back on the way to the victory. “It was a game of runs and they had a few more runs than we did in the end,” said McBride, who ended the day with a career-high seven points on five goals and two assists. “If the game is a little longer, I definitely like our chances. It is fine, we will see those guys again later in the year.” McBride has enjoyed emerging as one of Princeton’s top guys on offense. “I play with guys like Mike Sowers, Zach Currier, Austin Sims, and Riley Thompson,” said McBride, who has a team-high 24 goals this season. “My job is easy.” Taking on the job of team captain this year has been special for McBride. “I love it; these are my 45 best friends in the world,” said McBride, who serves as co-captain along with classmate Bear Goldstein. “I am honored to be their leader and that they trust

me in leading this team. It is something I take a lot of pride in.” Princeton head coach Matt Madalon didn’t love the way his team started the game against Yale. “They did an outstanding job executing early; the kid (Conor) Mackie at the faceoff X (26-of-33) was excellent,” said Madalon. “Ben Reeves was excellent. It took us a minute to find our groove. We were fighting back; it was too little, too late.” On defense, the Tigers struggled to get in a groove, ultimately going to a zone to slow the high-powered Bulldogs. “We changed some things up; we tried to make it a little more uncomfortable,” said Madalon. “It was a fluid state for our defense. We were constantly adjusting. I thought when they settled in, we played well.” In the final analysis, Mackie’s dominance on faceoffs made the difference in the contest. “I think we probably scored on 55 percent of our offensive possessions; we probably stopped them 55 percent of the time,” said Madalon. “When it comes down to it, we were playing way too much defense.” While disappointed by the outcome, Madalon credited

do a better job managing the game,” said Madalon. “We need to bail our defense out when we are playing good long possessions and not throw the ball away offensively.” McBride, for his part, is confident that Princeton will do a better job when it takes on the Bears. “We just got to get better, we have to do the little things right, we have got to battle between the lines,” said McBride. “We will move on, we will be fine. We have got Brown next, it is on to the next one.” —Bill Alden

MFG., CO.

Hosting No. 9 Penn State last week, the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team found itself trailing 5-0 nearly five minutes into the contest. While 6th-ranked Princeton produced a 6-0 run to forge ahead 6-5, it surrendered three unanswered goals in the waning moments of the half to trail 8-6 at intermission. The Tigers never got closer than that, falling 13-8 to suffer their first loss of the season. In reflecting on the March 21 contest, Princeton head coach Chris Sailer believed her team gained some valuable lessons from the setback. “No. 1 we learned how important it was to come out hard and ready to play,” said Sailer. “We were back on our heels at the start of the game. We dug ourselves a big hole which we were able to dig out of so another lesson from that game is that we are a team that can fight. We are going to play hard and chip away when the other team has the lead.” Four days later at Dartmouth, the Tigers appeared to have taken the lesson of starting fast to heart, jumping out to an 8-0 lead on the way to an 18-8 win. “I was very happy with that; Dartmouth has been doing really great in draw controls,” said Sailer.

“I think they had a 9763 advantage over their opponents coming into the game. We controlled the draw throughout that game pretty significantly, which was huge for us. Our defense was just lock down. In that first half, in particular, it was awesome. Ellie was on point in goal with 17 saves. I think that is a career high for her and she was just phenomenal in the cage. It was a great defensive effort.” The Tigers also produced a superior effort at the offensive end of the field as Tess D’Orsi led the way with four goals and two assists with Olivia Hompe tallying three goals and two assists, Kathryn Hallett adding three goals, and Elizabeth George chipping in two. “In the Penn State game we didn’t really run a secondary break,” said Sailer. “On Saturday, we had some fast break looks, some secondary breaks, and we were able to score in our settled offense. It was nice to see the variety and types of scoring we were doing and also in the number of scorers we had. We had nine or 10 goals scorers in that game. Half our goals were assisted so kids were looking for each other really well and taking advantage of the opportunities that they saw.” With Princeton having produced a 6-1 start, the Tigers have been seizing opportunity all spring long.

Bouncing Back From Loss to Penn State, PU Women’s Lax Rolls Past Dartmouth “I am happy with how we are continuing to improve; the energy that we have in practice,” said Sailer. “Our kids are very confident in their abilities and they know what they want to get out of the season. They are are working hard towards it so that has been really great to see. That tends to show up on the field. I think this is the hardest schedule we have likely had in Princeton history. For the first half of the season, we have done well.” There is another hard test on the horizon for Princeton as it hosts No. 11 Syracuse (8-3) on March 29. “They are just so dynamic offensively; their players have exceptional skill and they are strong shooters,” said Sailer, whose team also hosts Delaware (4-3) on April 2. “They play very well together and they are athletic kids. We will have our hands full defensively. Fortunately for us we have a great defensive crew and a ver y strong goalkeeper so I think we are going to be up for that challenge. On defense, they throw a lot of different looks at you. Our kids are going to have to be on their toes, knowing what defense they are playing in and how to best attack it. We will change it up throughout the game. We have never played them in a regular game so it is going to be fun to play a new opponent.” —Bill Alden

come in and infuse our offense right away; she plays for the Tiger Lilies U14s and is their captain,” said PDS head coach Lorna Cook as she looked ahead to the 2016-17 campaign. Massari got off to a fast start, tallying a goal and an assist in season-opening 8-1 win over Pingry. The prolific forward kept firing away, leading PDS in scoring with 35 points on 22 goals and 13 assists, helping the Panthers go 15-11-1 as they advanced to the state Prep final and took third in WIHLMA (Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the Mid-Atlantic) Hengerer Division playoffs. In the view of Cook, Massari provided more than scoring to the Panthers. “Gia gives everything she has and I think she sets an example there but then she is also so skilled and so smart,” said Cook of Massari who ended being named the state girls’ hockey Rookie of the Year by NJ.com. “She is very selfless on the

ice too, she is always looking to make the right play so I think, especially as a freshman, she gives everyone that confidence of having a player who is just giving it everything. She has a lot of composure too and even though she is only a freshman, she has a mature way about her.” Massari’s brilliant play in her debut campaign earns her the nod as the top female newcomer. Top Coaches erence Miller had the sense that the Princeton High boys’ hockey team could do some special things this winter. With a roster including seven seniors, some key transfers, and a talented freshmen group, Miller saw big things ahead for the Little Tigers. “For the first time in years, it looks like we are going to have some serious depth,” said Miller. “PHS has typically been two lines and maybe three defenseman and a scrappy little goalie. I can’t remember the last time that PHS had this kind of depth. We are putting our lines together and I never had so many options to play around with.”

Miller deftly deployed the weapons at his disposal, guiding the Little Tigers to a 12-0-1 start, including a win over Notre Dame which ended its 81-game winning streak against Colonial Valley Conference foes. After going 14-2-4 in regular season play, PHS was seeded No. 1 in the Mercer Count y Tour nament and rolled to the title game for a clash with three-time defending champion Hun. Trailing the Raiders 3-1 heading into the third period of the championship clash, the Little Tigers rallied to tie the game at 3-3 before falling 4-3 in a thriller. That performance pro pelled PHS to a memorable run in the Public A state tournament with the ninthseeded Little Tigers turning heads in putting together a string of impressive wins. PHS started the tourney with a 6 -3 victory 24thseeded Ridgewood. In the second round at eighthseeded Southern, PHS overcame a 2-1 third period deficit to win 3-2 in overtime. In the state quarters, PHS pulled off a stunning upset, defeated top-seeded Morris Knolls 5-2, earning the program’s first-ever appearance Continued on Next Page

“It was the seniors, Brendon (McCormick), Eamonn (McDonald), Tooker (Callaway), and Sawyer (Peck) in net, those four really carried us,” said Miller, whose group of seniors also included Zach Bouchenoir, Pascal Meier, and Anthony Trainor. “It was kind of the perfect storm for us, we had a great senior class. We had a couple of good transfer students (Meier and Nick Ashcroft). We had a couple of phenomenal freshmen (Rocco Salvato and Aidan Trainor).

All of that together equalled a solid team that was able Continued from Preceding Page to make some noise this in a state semifinal. year.” While PHS fell 6-3 to 13thThe team’s inspiring 19-4seeded Watchung Hills in 4 campaign won’t be forgotthe semis, Miller took great ten any time soon. pride in what the team ac“I told the guys that we complished. “We had a hell took the program to the next of a run,” said Miller. “It level; we hadn’t been in this stings.

For longtime Hun School girls’ basketball head coach Bill Holup, the 2015-16 season was a nightmare. Hun went 1-22, getting blown out on most nights with its one win coming early in the season. With the addition of such key players as sophomore Jada Jones and freshman Alexis Harvell and Nicole Angelini along with postgraduate guard Anna Maguire, Holup was confident that the Raiders could be much more competitive this SHAKE AND BLAKE: Hun School boys’ hockey player Blake Brown winter. controls the puck in a game this season. Senior star Brown “Our numbers are higher scored a team-high 38 points on the season and helped lead overall; we had a lot more Hun to its fourth straight Mercer County Tournament title. girls interested in coming (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) out for basketball,” said Holup. “Having more players out there has transformed the whole atmosphere. The kids are all very personable with one another right now. The spirit is very high. The returning girls see that some of the new girls that are here have some more skills than what we saw last year.” Displaying that new spirit, Hun opened the season with a 37-20 win over Germantown Friends (Pa.) on the way to a 3-3 start. Even with star guard Maguire missing 11 games due to a leg injury, the Raiders hung in there, finishing the season with a 10-14 record and a lot of hope for the future. “We had 10 times as many wins as last year; I was very happy with how the season went,” said Holup. “On top of that, it was just a great group of kids. They were competitive, they were just fun to be around. We are back in the upswing with the kids that we have coming back. Hopefully we will have a nice solid season next Town Topics Newspaper now posts year and continue the momentum that we ended this videos of all Princeton Municipal Meetings season with.” For getting Hun back on the upswing, Holup is the Watch local government in pick as the top coach of a female team this winter. action at www.towntopics.com —Bill Alden

Although the Princeton High baseball team lost seven seniors to graduation from last year’s squad, the cupboard isn’t bare. PHS is br inging back some performers in key roles and welcoming some promising newcomers. “I think it is a good mix,” said PHS head coach Dave Roberts, who guided the Little Tigers to a 9-14 record last season. “We have Paul Cooke who is a two-year starter. We have Dan Gross and Teddy Marttila, who are returning. Mike Ramirez is returning, Alec Silverman is returning. We are lucky in a way that we still have some experience in some spots.” The PHS pitching staff will be led by junior Mike Ramirez, who emerged as an ace last spring. “Mike will anchor the staff; he ended up leading the team in innings pitched, wins, and ER A last year as a sophomore,” said Roberts. “His knowledge about what we want to do and his handling of situations is a little better. He throws his breaking balls for strikes consistently; he spots up his fastball. Those are the two keys.” Roberts has a number of other arms at his disposal to round out his rotation and bullpen. “Zach Yoelson, a junior, is returning; he picked up a win against PDS last year so he will be in the mix,” said Roberts. “Ben Amon, a sopho more, looks very good on the mound. We have those guys pencilled in as the two and three. We will fill in the back end with a bunch of sophomores, Connor Stanley, Eljah Okoye, and Teddy Durbin. Paul Cooke is going to be our closer; he will be our seventh inning guy.” Junior standout Cooke will be a key guy in the middle of the PHS batting order. “I think we are going to be very traditional there; Cooke will probably hit third,” said Roberts, who is looking for speedy Nottingham junior transfer Jaedyn Paria to be a table-setter with Gross, Silverman, and Marttila providing punch behind Cooke. “It is put your best hitter in the third spot and let him get his at bats and let

These are enormous shoes to fill. He is a very smooth, slick fielding infielder, there is no doubt about that. They will both see time. Third base looks like Mike Frost.” In the outfield, PHS will

be going with Gross in left, Paria in center, and Cooke in right. “We have a little bit of confidence in our outfield,” said Roberts. “I think our outfield is going to be much better.” Heading into the spring, Roberts is confident that PHS can make progress. “With a break here or there, maybe we can end up on the plus side of .500,” said Roberts, whose team opens the season by hosting Hamilton on April 1. “The keys are definitely going to be the young staff filling out the roles and reaching their potential. We need to do a little better offensively. We didn’t have a great year last year offensively. We also need to play solid defense behind the pitchers.” —Bill Alden

PDS Girls’ Lax Rallies for Win in Opener, Displaying Its Firepower, Fighting Spirit Jill Thomas is hoping the way that her Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse team played in its season opener last week is a harbinger of things to come this spring. Facing Oak Hall ( Fla.) in Florida last Friday, PDS overcame a late deficit to pull out a dramatic 13-12 win. “To be able to get that is huge; it is a solid start; they were 8-2,” said Thomas, who guided PDS to a 13-5 record in 2016 and its second straight state Prep B title. “We were down 7-3 at halftime and we fought back to be down 12-10 with 1:54 to go. We scored the first one with 1:32 left to make it 1211 and scored the next two

and just kept winning the draw. In that last two minutes, everyone in the place was on their feet.” Thomas believes that senior co - captains Morgan Mills and Abby Atkeson are setting a winning tone for the Panthers. “We have great leadership; Morgan and Abby are our only two seniors and four-year starters so that’s huge for us to have them,” said Thomas. “We lost two seniors last year and we have two this year. They have stepped right into the whole thing and that’s pretty good. Mills is committed to Princeton and is a great leader and one of the hardest workers I know. You have got Abby

OFF AND RUNNING: Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse player Morgan Mills sprints up the field in 2016 action. Senior star and co-captain Mills figures to be a top offensive threat for PDS this spring as it goes after a third straight state Prep B title. The Princeton University-bound Mills tallied two goals and two assists as the Panthers opened their season with a 13-12 win over Oak Hall (Fla.) last Friday. PDS will look to keep on the winning track as it hosts Princeton High on March 30 and Hun on April 3. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

leading the defense and Mills in the middle and on attack.” The PDS attack was clicking on all cylinders in the come-from-behind victory over Oak Hall. “We have a really balanced team, we had four girls with multiple goals,” said Thomas, who got six goals and two assists from Madison Mundenar in the win with Kyra Hall adding two goals and three assists, Kate Bennett chipping in two goals and an assist, and Mills contributing two goals and two assists. “Madison is play ing a little bit of everything, you can put her wherever you want, midfield or attack. Twelve of the 13 goals were assisted.” PDS is putting a number of superb athletes on the field at the defensive end. “We have Emma Dries, Val Radvany, Elena Schomburg, and Elizabeth Brennan on defense,” said Thomas. “Maggie Madani made 14 saves in goal. She came through the junior program. She worked so hard to get that starting spot and she has earned every bit of it.” In order to enjoy another championship season, the PDS players need to maintain a strong work ethic. “We have to keep doing the little things and finding ways to do things a little bit better and keep levelheaded about everything,” said Thomas, whose team will look to keep on the winning track as it hosts Princeton High on March 30 and Hun on April 3. “Once you are there, everyone is after you. We know we have to keep working harder. We have done some different things this year; it is going to be exciting to watch.” —Bill Alden

With New Coach Doran Emphasizing Team Unity, PHS Girls’ Lacrosse Looking to Utilize its Depth For Sara Doran, playing on the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team in the 1980s proved to be an unforgettable experience. “I have a special place in my heart for Princeton High,” said Doran, a 1987 PHS grad who played for the program’s state championship squad in 1985. “Truly, some of the best memories of my growing up are from my days on the lacrosse field.” Now Doran is looking to create those memories for current PHS players as she takes the helm of the program, succeeding Dav id Schlesinger, who guided the Little Tigers to a 10-8 record last year and has moved on to coach at Central Bucks East High (Pa.). “I knew we were really looking for someone who would be invested in helping the program thrive; I wanted to step in and help out in any way I could,” said Doran, who played for the Northwestern women’s lacrosse program after her PHS career and has been coaching in the Princeton Girls’ Lacrosse ( PGL A X) program for years. “I am very into building a team culture. One of the great things about this team is that we have great depth on the team and I want to be able to utilize that. I want them to develop and work as a team but also have fun while they are doing it. My philosophy is to create a supportive environment that helps them grow and develop as both players and people and to be able to compete at a high level but while also having fun.” In Doran’s view, the squad has responded well to that approach as PHS prepares to open the season by hosting WW/P-N on March 29. “I think the girls are ready, they look great and are playing as a team,” said Doran. “They are enthusiastic and supportive of each other. That is the culture I am trying to build. Hopefully we can have success that way.” A key to the team’s success this spring figures to be its talented midfield. “We have a strong midfield,” said Doran. “Georgia McLean, Mariana Lopez-Ona, Abaigeal Ryan, who is recruited to Temple, Serena Bolitho, and Kathryn DeMilt are our midfielders.” Doran is depending on senior star McLean and sophomore standout Lopez-Ona to be catalysts. “Georgia is the workhorse; she is your classic unsung hero,” added Doran. “She does all the hard work, getting the ground balls, caused turnovers, and the draw controls. She is just working for 50 minutes out there the entire time. She is looking great. Mariana has a beautiful shot and beautiful stick skills. She is a team player. She knows when to drive and when to pass. She will be a very valuable asset to us this year.” On attack, Doran believes that senior Olivia Geller and junior Margaret Jacobs will emerge as major assets. “Olivia Geller has been recruited to Georgian Court,” said Doran. “I am looking for her to take a leader-

ship role on attack as well as Margaret Jacobs, whose sister (Elizabeth) played a number of years. They are who I am looking to at attack.” The defensive unit features some battle-tested veterans. “Gwen Koehler, a senior, will be leading the defensive unit,” said Doran, noting that senior Olivia Skopas and junior Sophia Navarette will also play key roles at the defensive end.” Senior Zoe Tesone made an impact at goalie last year in her first season playing lacrosse and figures to be even better with a year under her belt. “I know Zoe was new to the game last year; she is just such a great athlete,” said Doran of Tesone, who also stars for PHS in soccer and basketball.

“She has very little fear in there and I think she is looking fantastic. She is going to be a huge asset to us; I am super excited about Zoe.” Doran, for her part, believes that helping her players master the nuances of the game could lead to a huge season for the Little Tigers. “If I can really get them to play together as a unit and really look for each other, I think we can be a threat all over the field,” said Doran, crediting assistant coaches Katie Federico, Meg Reilly, and Suzanne Albanese with playing a key role in that process. “I have really been focusing on game sense and field IQ and getting them to understand how to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents, reacting to that and being able to adjust.” —Bill Alden

As a snowstorm hit the Princeton area earlier this month, the Hun School softball team headed south. Leaving a few days before the March 14 storm, Hun arrived in Florida for its annual preseason trip. W hile New Jersey was digging out of the snow and ice, the Raiders were making progress on the diamond. “The trip went very well; we did well and we have a great bunch of kids,” said longtime Hun head coach Kathy Quirk, who led the Raiders to a 13-3 record and the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title last spring and is in her 42nd season guiding the program. “It is probably one of the best trips I have had. We have to carry over what we did in Florida back here. We

have to come back with that strong mentality that we can hit anybody that pitches to us and I am big on basics every day.” Quirk is confident that her pitching tandem of junior transfer Alanna Pearson and junior co-captain Julia Revock will hold opponents at bay. “Alanna Pearson and Julia will be sharing a lot of the time together,” said Quirk. “Alanna does have velocity and Julia is looking good. They are both great kids and both of them are working hard. We are just going to go game by game.” Senior catcher and co-captain Julie Fassl, a four-year starter, is looking very good in the field and at the bat. “She is the captain for us this year along with Revock

and she did a great job for us in Florida,” said Quirk, noting that the Virginia Wesleyan-bound Fassl was recently named as the Trenton Softball Hall of Fame scholarship winner. “She hit two home runs in one game in Florida. She is the backbone to our defense; there is something special about her behind the plate.” The Hun offense could be special as sophomore Meghan Donohue gives the Raiders punch in the middle of the order with Fassl, Revock, Pearson, and freshman Gigi Venizelos all solid hitters. “Donahue looks good, right now she is batting fourth, that is where she batted for us in Florida,” said Quirk. “Revock bats second. Fassl leads off for us, we want her up as many times as she can get up. Venizelos will probably bat third. She will either play third or shortstop for us. Pearson hits the ball well and hit well in Florida.” As for Hun’s defensive alignment, Fassl is a fixture at catcher while junior Keelan Ryan will play second base, senior Kate O’Connell will play left field, freshman Abby Zucatti will be in center, and sophomore MC Shea will be in right. Depending on who is pitching, Quirk will mix and match with other positions. “Alanna may be at short when Julia is on the mound and when Alanna is on the mound, Gigi will go to short and Meghan will probably come to third from first and Julia goes to first,” explained Quirk, noting that sophomores Ava Taddeo and Kennedy Burroughs along with

freshman Jackie Drozd will also see time in the field. With Hun opening its 2017 season by playing at the Blair Academy on April 1, Quirk is optimistic about her squad’s prospects. “Our goal is to defend our MAPL championship and do better in the states,” said Quirk. “We have the group mentality to do it. They are a very coachable group of kids and I am really excited for the season.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries Rev. Dr. Marilyn McCord Adams The Rev. Dr. Marilyn McCord Adams died peacefully at her home in Princeton, New Jersey, on March 22, 2017. She is known internationally in academic circles for her contributions to the study of philosophy and theology, and in the Anglican Communion for her forceful advocacy of full recognition of the value of loving samesex relationships. Born October 12, 1943, in Oak Park, Illinois, to William Clark McCord and Wilmah Brown McCord, she spent most of her childhood in small towns in east central Illinois, and attended the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, graduating as valedictorian of her class in early 1964, with a major in philosophy. Continuing her study of philosophy at the graduate level, she received her PhD from Cornell University in 1967. At Cornell she met and married Robert Merrihew Adams, a fellow doctoral student in philosophy (known then and now as “Bob” to colleagues, graduate students, and other friends). This began a partnership spanning half a century in which their professional as well as personal lives were closely intertwined. They held faculty positions in the same universities, first in the philosophy department of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and then for 21 years in the UCLA philosophy department. It was during her time in Los Angeles that Marilyn was ordained to the Episcopal priesthood, having followed a sense of calling through an intense introduction to ministry in Hollywood during the AIDS crisis, and having acquired two ThM degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. In 1993 they moved east to Yale, where Marilyn was the Horace Tracy Pitkin Professor of Historical Theology in the divinity school, while Bob was in the philosophy department (and chaired it for eight years). In 2004 they moved to Oxford, England. He retired, and she became Regius Professor Divinity, and a Canon of Christ Church Cathedral. Historically, she was the first woman, and the first American, to hold that professorship. Both of them participated in the intellectual life of Oxford University, and felt their lives enriched by English traditions of Christian worship. Returning to the United States in 2009, they settled in Chapel Hill, N.C., for nearly four years, teaching in the UNC philosophy department. In 2013 they moved to Princeton, and taught in a graduate center for philosophy of religion at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, and at Princeton Theological Seminary. As a scholar and interpreter of medieval philosophy and theology Marilyn McCord Adams is known especially for her definitive two -volume study of the work of William Ockham. She has also made a mark in contemporary philosophy of religion, particularly

with two books presenting her distinctive approach to the theological problem of evil. In Horrendous Evils and the Goodness of God and Christ and Horrors she does not try to answer the question, ‘Why did God permit all the evils that we know about? ’ Rather she asks, ‘What can God do to make our existence a great good to us, without trivializing the horrendous evils that we know about? ’ As an Episcopal priest, most recently assisting at Trinity Cathedral in Trenton, New Jersey, she will be remembered for generous spiritual companionship and forceful sermons, delivered always without notes, relating the Bible to questions of present-day life in ways both critical and hopeful. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, and by a large and loyal extended family, including her brother and sister-in-law, William and Caroly n McCord of Peoria, Illinois: her nephew James Fearon, of Stanford, California: and her niece Mary Fearon Jack, of Hudson, Ohio: and many of her former students, with their families. There will be a family interment ceremony at the cemetery in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Public memorial services will take place in Trinity Cathedral in Trenton, New Jersey, at 10 a.m. on Saturday April 8, and in Los Angeles, California on the first Saturday in May. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Marilyn may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. Arrangements are under the direction of The MatherHodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

Jeffers, III; two children, Katherine Jeffers Goldfarb and husband, Rob Goldfarb, of New York City; James W. Jeffers and his wife, Raquel; and two grandchildren, Juliette and Jasper Jeffers of Hopewell.

Helen Newman Chooljian Helen Newman Chooljian, 84, of Princeton passed away on Sunday, March 19, 2017 at her residence with her beloved husband and her longtime aide at her side. Born July 5, 1932 to Lois and Joseph Percy Newman in White Plains, New York, Helen spent her childhood and youth in Cleveland, Ohio where her father was a publishing executive. She inherited a lifelong love of reading and literature from her father. In 1950 Helen graduated from Shaw High S cho ol a nd went on to Wellesley College where she majored in English. While at Wellesley she met her future husband, Martin A. Chooljian, a student at Harvard Business School. They married on April 16, 1955. Martin and Helen spent the next few years in Dayton, Ohio while he was serving in the United States Air Force as a lieutenant. Their first child, Anne, was born there. Several happy years followed in Palo Alto and Atherton, California where their second daughter Cynthia was born and where Mar tin worked as a vice president at Litton Industries while Helen perfected her skills as a mother and homemaker. In 1964 the family relocated to Princeton, after Martin made the decision to go into business for himself. Helen enthusiastically endorsed the plan, which showed quite a bit of courage on her part as she had recently overcome serious challenges to her health. Helen thrived in Princeton, making numerous longtime friends via her many memberships and associations with local organizations. She and Martin were members of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, The Bedens Brook Club, and the Nassau Club. Helen was a founding member and later president of the Women’s Investment Group, a member of the

Present Day Club, the local Wellesley College Club, and a McCarter Theater patron. She was also one of the early friends of the Institute for Advanced Study and had a scholarship in her name at Wellesley College. Helen especially enjoyed working every year at the Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale and the Wellesley antiques show where she could be counted on to make sure that no one left the premises without making a donation. An enthusiastic traveler, Helen visited places as far away as Australia and was always ready for an adventure like seeing the Grand Canyon, going white water rafting in Colorado, or ballooning in Arizona. She was a voracious reader who could be depended upon to remember a book ’s title or author that no one else could, and loved to play cards especially bridge and solitaire. Helen will be remembered for her grace, streng t h, courage, intellect, sharp wit, and generosity. She will be forever in the hearts of her family and many friends. Helen was preceded in death by her brothers John and Andrew Harpham Newman. She is survived by her husband Martin; daughter Anne Chooljian and longtime companion Raul Najar; daughter Cynthia Jost and son-in-law Dan Jost; son Andrew Martin Chooljian and daughter-in-law Laurel Chooljian; honorary grandchildren Dr. Ingrid Stewart, Tyrone Taylor, Dr. Elizabeth Taylor, Dr. Rebecca Taylor and Joshua Taylor; and finally her honorar y great granddaughter Stony Taylor. A special thanks to her wonderful aide of 16 years, Brenda Stewart, for without her Helen’s last years would not have been all that they were. Pr ivate cremat ion was held and a memorial service celebrating her life will be held at The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Avenue Princeton, New Jersey on Saturday, April 29, 2017 at 3 p.m. to be followed by a reception at the Bedens Brook Club at 240 Rolling Hill Road, Skillman, New Jersey.

G u n d e l B r a d for d , 81, d ie d i n t h e com for t of her home in Princeton, on March 14, 2017, tended by family and beloved friends, as heavy snow began to fall outside her window. Born Gunthild Klaerchen Huober, on December 16, 1935 in Baghdad, Iraq, to German émigré parents, Dr. Hans-Guenther and Gudrun Huober, she excelled in her undergraduate studies in the late 1950’s at both the American University in Beirut, Lebanon as well as the University of Munich, Germany. In 1961, she came to the United States as a Ford Foundation Fellow to pursue her PhD degree in economics at Stanford University. It was there that she met the late Dr. David F. Bradford, and the two were married in Cambridge, England in 1964, where David was then a Fellow at Cambridge University. After living in Europe and Washington, D.C. for several years, they settled in New Jersey where David became professor of economics at

Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School. They had two children, Theodore and Catherine Louise (called “Lulu”). Gundel and David cont inued to t ravel w idely, sp end ing s abbat ic als in Belgium, Washington D.C. and California. They visited Germany often to spend time with Gundel’s parents, brother and friends, as well as to collaborate with German scholars. Gundel was also a passionate lover of the arts, and in particular, opera. She and David spent much of their time in Manhattan attending operas at The Met. After David’s death in 2005, Gundel found solace by sustaining her passion for music and the arts in numerous ways, in New York City and in the Princeton community. In 1991, while David was serving on the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, Gundel returned to school to study landscape design at George Washington University, in Washington, D.C. Upon returning to Princeton, Gundel Bradford Landscape Design was founded, and she pursued her love for beautif y ing parks and gardens. Gundel was one of the original founders of the Pine Street Block Party, an annual tradition that spanned over 40 years and included lively dancing to Bluegrass music. Her German plum tart and freshly whipped cream were an annual hit among her neighbors and friends in the Pine Street community, where she was much beloved. Gundel was also an accomplished gourmet, and loved cooking and spending

HOT MARKET? MAKE YOUR OFFER STAND OUT WITH THESE 4 TIPS The spring market is heating up. Here’s how to make sure you don’t get passed over when you find the home of your dreams: • Have the funds ready. Being preapproved and having the down payment ready to go demonstrates you’re serious about your offer and limits headaches for the seller. • Be reasonable. There no harm in asking to have major problems fixed, but to gain favor with a seller, don’t get too nit-picky. In a hot market, there are plenty of sellers will to take on small repairs themselves. • Understand the seller’s motivation. Sellers of a cherished family home may appreciate someone who values the home as a place to grow old themselves. Others may want a noconcessions sale or a quick closing. Try to find out what’s most important to the seller, then tailor your offer to suit. • Work with an experienced agent. Having an agent of your own means you have someone who understands the market as well as your own needs and motivations. An experienced agent can also work with the seller’s agent to make sure your offer gets in front of the seller, as well as helping you craft an offer that’s more likely to find favor. Happy hunting!

HILLIER - designed contemporaries are always fun to live in, and this one takes the cake! Located on the quietest lot on an already quiet street, you can experience “stay-cation” living every day! Long, sleek lines, walls of windows, gentle curves, and natural materials blend harmoniously with the wooded lot and peaceful surroundings. Welcoming entry opens to the public spaces, and the quality and amount of light is impressive, illuminating the wood and tile floors, and open floor plan. Eat-in kitchen looks out on the tranquil gardens, as do the living room and dining room. There is a patio and reflection pond, equipped with fountain and lights. Professionally planted beds combine easily with the natural setting and trees, and a large two level patio has built-in benches. Three bedrooms, three full baths, volume ceilings, and clerestory windows all add to the charm of this custom Princeton home. There are even invisible retractable screen doors! It is clear that the architect designed this special home with skill and whimsy, as illustrated by the unique fireplace and playful dining room wall. It just doesn’t get better than this!!!!!! $895,000
