Garden State On Your Plate Partners With John Witherspoon MS

Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach Realtors . .14, 15

That tasty vinaigrette on your spring salad at Jammin’ Crepes may have had its origin in the eighth-grade food science class of Nyrie Janho at John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS).

Garden State on Your Plate (GSOYP), an initiative by Princeton School Gardens (PSG), has been working closely with Janho’s classes, last term focusing on kohlrabi and this term working on pea shoots, all grown in the classroom garden. Next month will feature scallions.

“My food science students have been working on designing a vinaigrette for the March elementary tastings, and I have woven this experience into our unit study of emulsions, truly bringing science to life,” said Janho.

The students tasted the pea shoots to get a sense of what they were designing the vinaigrette for, and they learned about the basics of assembling a vinaigrette.

“We discussed different flavors and seasonings, and which ones go well together,” Janho said. “Groups of students then designed their own vinaigrettes.

They again used their own pea shoots to taste each other’s vinaigrettes and vote on which was best.”

After each of Janho’s two food science classes had chosen its favorite vinaigrette, Coby Farrow, celebrity New York chef and veteran of Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, and other popular TV shows, visited to help the students tweak their recipes and balance ingredients to perfection.

“Chef Coby instructed the students on technique for creating an emulsion that wouldn’t break, by hand-whisking and very slowly adding in the oil,” said Janho.

Farrow also showed the students how to

CRC Proposes Inclusive Workplace Policies To help create a town that is more inclusive towards the LGBTQ community, the Princeton Civil Rights Commission (CRC) has issued a report and five recommendations to Princeton Council.

The recommendations include proposals for conversion to all-gender restrooms for all single stall facilities in municipal offices and businesses in town; municipal programming to attract LGBTQ community members and LGBTQ inclusive diversity training for all municipal employees; the appointment of an LGBTQ liaison in the municipal executive’s office; the adoption of a policy in Princeton that prohibits bullying on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in all youth-facing municipal facilities and services; and the appointment of an LGBTQ police liaison or task force.

Applauding the CRC’s work, Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert expressed her intention to work with Council and local organizations to put the recommendations into action in the near future. “The municipality has a goal of being more welcoming and inclusive and fostering a feeling of community belonging,” she said. “The CRC delivered an excellent report to Council

recommending several actions we could take this year. I’m looking forward to taking these recommendations and working to implement them.”

In 2018 Princeton improved from 76 to 84 out of 100 on the Municipal Equality Index (MEI), which scores cities across the country on how inclusive they are towards the LGBTQ community. Princeton was awarded six out of six points on the MEI scorecard in 2018 for sharing documentation that Princeton offers transgen-

der-inclusive health care benefits and two out of two points for the municipality being an inclusive workplace, with the Human Resources Department sending job postings to the New Jersey LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, which shares vacancies with the New Jersey LGBTQ community.

In presenting the CRC’s recommendations to Council last week, Afsheen Shamsi, formerly CRC vice chair, thanked Lempert and her CRC colleagues. “While Continued on Page 9

Organics Program Still Uncertain As Town Explores Options Princeton’s Curbside Organics Program is currently on hiatus, and the town wants participants to help decide the most effective way to get it back on track.

Some 800 families were enrolled in the $65-a-year service, which began in 2011.

The program was was halted January 30 after it became evident that the waste was not always being taken to a farm for composting, as was originally planned, but was sometimes going to a landfill.

The town has met twice with the New Jersey Composting Council to discuss the issue. It was concluded that changes to the program are necessary. The question is which changes, and how many, and Mayor Liz Lempert hopes customers will provide input to help determine the answers.

“We are right now exploring various options for bringing the program back,” she Continued on Page 11

On February 26, at 12:15 a.m., a 58-year-old male from Princeton was charged with DWI, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop for illegally turning on red at Chambers Street.

On February 25, at 11:14 a.m., it was reported that someone entered the unoccupied residences on the property on the 800 block of Lawrenceville Road and cut out and stole $2,000 worth of copper piping.

The burglary occurred sometime between February 15 and 25.

On February 24, at 10:07 a.m., a resident of Battle Road reported that their personal information had been used to fraudulently open a Charles Schwab bank account and Visa credit card.

and mathematician’s fondness for building houses of cards in his Mercer Street backyard.

So it makes perfect sense that a House of Cards competition is on the roster of this year’s Pi Day activities, which begin Saturday, March 9 and continue on Thursday, March 14, which is Einstein’s birthday as well as the first three digits of the mathematical constant known as pi (3.14).

Of the Town “I’m learning things about him all the time,” said Omiecinsk i, whose Pr inceton Tour Company is behind the annual observance. “There are Pi Day celebrations all over the world, but we’re the only one that’s in his hometown. And we’ve got all these famous, award-winning mathematicians here. It just makes so much sense.”

Einstein was born in Germany and emigrated to the United States, for political reasons, in 1933. He settled in Princeton and lived at 112 Mercer Street. He was an integral part of the Institute for Advanced Study until his death in 1955.

Princeton’s Pi Day is the only one to award prize money — $314.15 — to the winner of the annual PreTeen Pi Recitation Contest, Omiecinski said. The winner of the popular Einstein Look-Alike Contest, which will take place at noon in The Nassau Inn, will also be awarded $314.15.

Highlights of this year’s Pi Day (s) include the annual Surprise Birthday Party for Einstein, also at the Nassau Inn; the Apple Pie Eating Contest at McCaffrey’s Market; a “Pi-rade” through Palmer Square led by the winner of the Pi Recitation Event; a Children’s B o ok S ig n i ng at P r i nc eton Public Library; a PieThrowing Event on Palmer Square Green; a Nerd Herd Pub Crawl; Pi Day Pop Up We d d i n g / Vo w R e n e w a l Ceremonies; an interactive STEAM-inspired workshop; and much more.

“One thing that’s really interesting this year is that we have a world record holder, the first person in the world to break 10,000 digits in re-

citing pi,” said Omiecinski.

David Fiore will speak at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Nassau Inn, in a program titled “What is Pi? How Memory Works.”

“It’s a little like having a magician expose how their magic trick works,” Omiecinski said. “I am living for 1 p.m. when David Fiore is going to help me get to double digits. If I can do that, I’ll feel like it’s okay that I run this event.”

Omiecinski came up with the idea for celebrating Pi Day in Princeton after starting her tour company in town over a decade ago.

you’re busy walking and shamelessly name-dropping when the weather’s nice,” she said. “But when it’s not nice, during the colder months, you try to figure out some other things to do. I was fascinated by Einstein and wanted to come up with ways to make him more relatable, to focus on his character as well as his incredible work.”

She approached Princeton Public Library, and the first event was planned. “So it was my mom and me, making a list of what we could do to celebrate the day,” Omiecinski recalled. “As it turned out, it was the day of a hurricane, and everybody was at the library to charge their phones. So we had a lot of people. You could say it was the perfect storm, in a way.”

An Einstein in Princeton Guided Walking Tour; an Einstein Salon and innovators Galler y at Updike Farmstead; a Pizza Pi Competition; Best Apple Pie in Princeton Contest; a tour of the Landau store’s Albert Einstein Museum; a Princeton School Gardens Cooperative Fundraiser at LiLLiPIE’s in Princeton Shopping Center; a talk with Seth Fletcher, author of Einstein’s Shadow, at the library; and a Motown-inspired musical performance at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, are all on the agenda.

“We’ve got people coming from D.C., from Kansas, from Tennessee,” Omiecinski said. “There’s an entire family coming from Nashville. Einstein is our most beloved genius, so we’re ready to celebrate.”

Mystery of Hidden Shoe At Trent House Event

In early 2018, when cont ractors were prepar ing to repair the cornice on the north side of the 1719 William Trent House, they were surprised to find an old leather shoe tucked behind the soffit. Who put it there? When? Why? The experts weigh in during a panel discussion to explore the mystery surrounding the early American shoe. The program on Sunday, April 7, from 2-4 p.m. at the William Trent House Museum Visitor Center is presented by the Trent House Association, 15 Market Street in Trenton.

Chris Manning will prese nt h er m as ter’s t h e s is research on the custom, originating in Europe and found in the Eastern and Midwestern United States, of hiding talismans, such as shoes and written charms, in the fabric of a building.

This “homemade magic” was intended to protect the occupants from evil. Valentine Povinelli will draw upon his experience as shoemaker at Colonial Williamsburg to demonstrate how the construction of the shoe can help date it to the first half of the 19th century and determine its likely ownership and use.

Tickets are $12 for Trent House Association Members and $15 for general admission. Free off-street parking is available and light refreshments are being served. Details are available at https:// williamtrenthouse.org; tickets can be purchased at the door.

add or subtract from their oil-to-acid ratio in order to balance the vinaigrette. He suggested hand-breaking the herbs to preserve their flavor in the vinaigrette instead of chopping them.

The students closely watched Chef Coby at work then asked him questions about his job as a chef and restaurant entrepreneur.

Fur ther tastings followed with additional pea shoots from the classroom garden and from Jess Niederer’s Chickadee Creek Farm in Hopewell Valley.

T h e s t u de nt s ex a m i n e d t h e v i n a i g r e t te s a g a i n , this time recording data on their observations, developing questions, and

noticing patterns based on what they observed.

“This exciting partnership continues to grow and become an outstanding connection for the students and the community,” said Janho.

“The food science classes are participating in a truly authentic experience as we partner with many people in the community, making the students’ work in the classroom extend beyond the doors of the room.”

Jammin’ Crepes owner Kim Rizk has the winning recipe in hand, and she reports that Jammin’ Crepes will be preparing it and serving it on their house salad beginning next week. She noted that her restaurant has had a long-term relationship with PSGC, at one point teaching a class in making

jams, “something we specialize in,” and helping to make connections among farmers, schools, and restaurants.

PSGC co-founder Fran McManus pointed out the value of taking the students beyond the science classroom and into real world applications of that science.

“There is a lovely community around food that exists in this town,” McManus said, and she noted the excitement for the students in having a salad at Jammin’ Crepes with their name attached to it. “Thinking that their vinaigrette will be on display enriches the whole experience,” McManus added. “This is valuable because there’s a practical use for what they’re learning, and beyond that they had to think about taste and balance.”

Hoping to see other food businesses in town get involved with PSGC in the future, McManus went on to emphasize the importance of the community-building aspect of the project. “The connections can get deeper and richer across the community,” she said, “and we can connect with more chefs and more students.”

McManus noted that GSOYP is currently funded by a School Garden Ice Cream Fundraiser, collaboration between the bent spoon and the Whole Earth Center that has raised more than $35,000 since 2006, which PSGC has used to support food-and-garden-based education in the PPS. Janho discussed her plans for expanding the program and involving more students at JWMS. “I would like to have my students begin creating videos on the whole process from learning about the vegetable, to learning the science behind the recipes, to their preparation and execution of the recipes.”

She continued, “I love how this has truly become an authentic learning experience for the students. My goal always has been for students to see how science is all around them and how it pertains to their everyday life. Our work with GSOYP and Chef Coby has met and exceeded that goal in a very exciting and relevant way.”

Rider Course Geared To Aspiring Educators

into important topics relevant to today’s educators while providing the opportunity to earn three college credits.

The course, IND-101: Introduction to Education, is offered to high school juniors and seniors who are participating in the Tomorrow’s Teachers program in their own schools. Tomorrow’s Teachers is an elective course taught in schools nationwide that provides high school students who are interested in becoming teachers with a chance to learn more about the profession. The goal is to help these students determine if a career in education is something that they would like to pursue in college.

The Tomorrow’s Teachers course is offered in high schools in 38 states throughout the country. Since 2007, teachers from more than 300 high schools in New Jersey have been trained to teach the course.

Dr. Tracey Garrett, a professor of teacher education in Rider’s College of Education and Human Services, developed the course and has taught it since its inception.

She sees it as a way to not only enhance the experience of the Tomorrow’s Teachers students, but also to give them their first taste of the type of class an education major in college might take. “My goal is to expose them to the profession and get them to challenge their prior conceptions about teaching and learning,” she says.

Over the course of the school year, students engage in a series of 13 online discussions covering a variety of topics, issues and trends in education. Some topics may require students to read

or view accompanying material, including TED Talks, blog posts, and journal articles. For every topic, students are required to respond a minimum of two times via the discussion board on the course’s online learning management system, first offering their thoughts on the subject, and then writing a secondary post that addresses the response of one of their classmates.

The specific discussion topics were chosen with an eye toward what would best prepare students for when they begin taking education courses in college. “I took my experience teaching our foundations of education courses that we offer here at Rider, and I thought, ‘What would I want those students to know coming into these classes? What could I give them that would help them explore the profession and be helpful so that they have some prior knowledge of the teaching profession from the teacher perspective before they become students in preservice programs?” Garrett said. “I thought we could give students a chance to connect with other high school students around the state and explore these different topics.”

Some of the topics that have resonated most strongly include technology use in the classroom, the amount of homework that students are assigned, the value of play in the classroom, and the qualities that make an effective teacher.

Sabrin to Speak at Rebovich Institute

Princeton is already above average in terms of being inclusive compared to cities across the country,” she said, “it is important for us to build upon that work and make Princeton a more inclusive and welcoming community for all to live and work in.”

CRC Chair Tommy Parker cited these recommendations as a “great initiative in helping make this town a welcoming community,” and he applauded these “efforts to make sure that everybody is treated equally.”

Shamsi pointed out that adopting the five CRC recommendations would potentially increase Princeton’s MEI score by 19 points in 2019. “We consider our work to be inclusive an ongoing project and would like to continue to review each year how to make Princeton a model community in terms of being welcoming and inclusive to all,” she said.

“I applaud Mayor Lempert for instituting immediate action steps on each of the recommendations made and I look forward to seeing these recommendations progress through Council,” Shamsi concluded.

BOARDING TRAINING LESSONS SALES

Murray Sabrin, a former candidate for U.S. Senate and a Ramapo College political science professor, will appear at Rider University on March 7 at 7 p.m. for an event hosted by The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics.

Sabrin w ill discuss his experiences in running for statewide office in New Jersey, as well as his perspective on third party politics; he ran as a candidate of the Libertarian Party in 2018.

In announcing his decision to run against U.S. Sen. Rober t Menendez, Sabin said his theme would be to bring peace, liberty, and prosperity to each of New Jersey’s 21 counties.

“As an enthusiastic and longtime supporter of free enterprise, Sabrin has an insightful perspective on New Jersey’s motto, ‘Liberty and Prosperity,’” said Micah Rasmussen, director of the Rebovich Institute. “His experience with third-party politics will also be of interest to affiliates of any party, especially because thirdparty candidates can play impactful roles in statewide

Conductor Joseph Flummerfelt “Focused People on Serving the Music” Joseph Flummerfelt retired from his position as director of choral activities at Westminster Choir College 15 years ago, but his association with the school continued. In fact, he was planning on returning to Westminster this summer to work with his successor, Joe Miller, on the annual Summer Choral Festival.

But Flummerfelt was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor.

He died on March 1, in Indianapolis, after suffering a stroke.

He was 82.

“Joe was a true force of nature,” Miller said on Tuesday.

“He was a huge presence. He cared deeply about people. He was a masterful musician, but his music-making was never just about that. It was about what a great human he was, and how he connected it with people, and how he focused people on serving the music — using themselves to serve it rather than just create perfect music-making.”

“It is a big shock to all of us,” said Laura Brooks Rice, professor of voice at Westminster. “It happened so quickly. He has left such a legacy of choral conducting. The students he has taught lead major choral organizations in this country.

And that’s not to mention any of the music educators and church musicians around the world who have been influenced by him.”

Flummerfelt, who led choral activities for the Spoleto Festival U.S.A. in Charleston, S.C., and the Spoleto Festival in Italy, conducted the Westminster Choir for 33 years. In 2016, he retired from 44 years of choral preparation for the New York Philharmonic. According to an article in the Rider News (Westminster is a part of Rider University), he was praised by Leonard Bernstein as “the world’s greatest choral conductor” for more than four decades.

Bernstein was among the famed conductors with whom Flummerfelt collaborated during his career. Others include Claudio Abbado, Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Alan Gilbert, Lorin Maazel, Kurt Masur, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and Robert Shaw.

In addition to the New York Philharmonic, Flummerfelt’s choirs performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, and numerous others.

“I performed with him many times as a soloist,” said Rice, who has sung with the San Francisco Opera and Metropolitan Opera. “No matter what professional experience I had had or was currently having, I never witnessed anybody who could get to the core and meaning of music more quickly than Joe Flummerfelt. Fortunately, I

had a chance to tell him he was the biggest influence on me as a musician and a teacher.”

Witnessing Flummerfelt’s exchanges with the great conductors who came to Westminster was a privilege, Rice continued.

“Bernstein, Muti, Rostropovich — they all had such great respect for him.”

Miller recalled Flummerfelt’s graciousness to him when Miller took over Flummerfelt’s position at Westminster in 2004.

“He made my way smooth, knowing when to stay out of the way and when to help,” he said.

“He was very much a friend, and I just loved spending time with him.”

Flummerfelt also taught as a visiting professor and conductor at the Eastman School of Music, the University of Texas, New England Conservatory, the University of Illinois, Kansas City Conservatory of Music, and DePauw University. He has made numerous recordings, two of which won him Grammy awards. As an orchestral conductor, Flummerfelt made his debut with the New York Philharmonic in 1988. He was guest conductor with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, the Juilliard Symphony Orchestra, and the San Antonio and Phoenix orchestras.

But Westminster clearly occupied a significant place in his heart. “He held a standard for the students here that all of us faculty, if we were smart enough, would rise to,” said Rice. “And he was also a very good friend.”

“A TRUE FORCE OF NATURE”: Joseph Flummerfelt, former director of choral activities at Westminster Choir College and principal conductor of the Westminster Choir and the Westminster Symphonic Choir, died March 1 in Indianapolis. He leaves a huge legacy at Westminster.

said yesterday. “When we met with the New Jersey Composting Council, they told us that if we wanted to keep the program as it has been in terms of range of materials that are accepted, then we might have a harder time finding a nearby facility. Conversely, if we were to limit what was accepted, we might have better luck finding a facility that is close by. So it’s one of the factors we’re going to consider, and we’re hoping to hear from people in the program as to what are critical elements they rely upon that would make them continue.”

The program could be limited to very basic food waste materials and scraps, rather than including other organic materials such as meat, bones, paper products, and yard waste, Lempert said. If the list of what is accepted were to be kept as is, requiring it be transported to a facility that is of a considerable distance away, then the price for the program would have to rise. “The further away we have to truck material, that comes with a cost,” she said. “We might not have as many choices. So that can impact our ability to find a good price. There is also an environmental detriment to trucking it further.”

Also on the table is the possibility of having the hauling done “in house,” by the town.

That would still entail finding a facility that would receive the organics. “It’s important to find a facility where we can have a stable agreement with them,” Lempert said, “so we don’t end up in the same situation where for a while, unbeknownst to us, some of the material was not being composted.”

The town had recently sought bids from contractors to continue the program for the next two years. But the only company to provide a bid was the current one, and they wanted double the price. Previous to that, it was announced last fall that the program was at risk because participants were routinely including plastic bags and utensils in the waste.

The town is sending periodic emails to participants, and held a community meeting on the subject. The goal is to keep the cost in approximately the same range as in the past. “But another factor

is how much more they would be willing to pay if that would allow for more items to be included,” Lempert said.

It all depends on where the facility is located. “And there are many different, interacting factors,” Lempert said.

“We’re still in the exploring phase. One of the things we’d like to try to find is a facility as near as possible that allows as expansive a program as possible. But there will likely be trade-offs.”

Public Lecture at Rider On Women, Feminism, Islam

Sylvia Chan-Malik, an assistant professor from Rutgers University, will deliver a public lecture at Rider University on March 26 at 7 p.m. "Women, Feminism and Islam," will explore the common notion of the oppression of Islamic women and the less -well-know n movement of Islamic feminism. It will also include a broader discussion of gender and women’s rights.

Chan-Malik, an assistant professor in the depar tments of A mer ican and women’s and gender studies at Rutgers, is the author of Being Muslim: A Cultural History of Women of Color and American Islam, which offers an alternative narrative of American Islam in the 20-21st century that centers the lives, subjectivities and voices of women of color. Her research focuses on the history of Islam in the United States, and more broadly, on the intersections of race, gender and religion in American public life.

The lecture is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Bart Luedeke Center Theater on Rider’s Lawrenceville campus. Visit rider.edu for details.

Attitudes in Reverse Seeks Student Designs

Attitudes in Reverse (AIR), the Princeton-based nonprofit dedicated to educating youth and adults about mental health, is looking for entries in its 11th Annual T-Shirt Design Contest.

Students are encouraged to submit creative ideas for communicating the impor-

tance of seeking help for mental disorders.

Students are a target audience of AIR because half of mental health disorders develop by age 14, and two thirds by age 25. AIR aims to eliminate stigma, fear, and embarrassment about mental health disorders so those experiencing symptoms can recognize them and be comfortable seeking help to prevent the disorders from interfering with their lives.

“We started the Annual S t u d e nt T- S h i r t D e s ig n Contest in 2009 to raise students’ awareness of mental health and suicide prevention. When students wear the shirts featuring designs inspired by the contestants, they will spark important conversations. A student would ask about AIR and the conversation would naturally lead to more aware-

ness, which, in turn, leads to a much greater likelihood that the student will pay attention to signs of mental health disorders in himself and others and take steps to get help when needed,” said Tricia and Kurt Baker, co-founders of AIR. Entries are due by March 29. All contestants will be recognized during the 8th Annual Miki & Friends Walk & Run for AIR on May 18 at Mercer County Park, East Picnic Area in West Windsor. Prizes will be an iPad for first place and a $50 gift card for second place. Winning designs will be printed on T-shirts that contestants and all volunteers will receive and will also be available to event attendees who donate at least $50. The designs also will be featured on AIR’s website, www.attitudesinreverse.org. Visit the site for further information.

ACLU’s Anthony Romero Urges: “Hold America’s Feet to the Fire” Sharing the American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) strategy of litigation and political advocacy, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero urged an audience of about 150 at Princeton University’s Friend Center on March 4 not to get discouraged, to stay engaged, and, in approaching the 2020 election, to hold candidates’ feet to the fire and hold them accountable.

Anthony Romero In outlining the “most important issues confronting our country,” Romero stated, “There’s something enormously noble about being in this fight now, daring to push forward with optimism and energy.”

The ACLU has filed 207 legal actions against the Tr ump administration in the past two years and has helped to mobilize millions of Americans in opposition to President Trump’s policies, but Romero warned that the greatest danger goes beyond Trump.

The assaults on civil liberties — voting rights, ab or t ion r ight s, LG BTQ rights — are not Trump era developments, he said.

“It bothers me when people talk as if Donald Trump is the entire problem. That i s n ot t h e c as e. Tr u mp did not start this parade, even t hough he ju mp e d out ahead to lead it. When he leaves the Oval Office, there will be a whole movement of his acolytes — his followers, to continue his xenophobic, anti- civil rights, and anti-civil liberties policies, to carry out his agenda.”

Romero continued, “Even when he goes, the Trump presidency is a super fund site of toxic waste on civil liberties and civil rights that will take us years to clean up.

Even if he is voted out in two years, his legacy and impact on the political landscape is going to be enduring.”

In this context Romero stated that it is the ACLU’s job “to hold America’s feet to the fire. We hold the mirror up. If you believe in liberty and justice for all, then prove it. Let’s see you walk the walk and talk the talk. We still have a long way to go.”

Romero expressed concern that many of today’s leaders may lack a genuine commitment to progress.

“W hat worries me about the current climate is that many of our leaders no longer seem to share that core commitment to basic principles. There is a systematic effort underway to push people back across some symbolic or literal or very real border.”

In highlighting the current priorities of the ACLU, where

he has been at the helm for 18 years, Romero noted “three white hot issues”: immigrant rights, voting rights, and abortion rights.

The ACLU is involved with 87 federal class action lawsuits relating to immigration, including such issues as t he Muslim ban, t he separation of parents and children at the border, and the federal emergency order. The ACLU has helped to bring about an overturning of the policy separating parents and children and has helped to reunite 2,600 of the 3,000 parents separated from their children, though, Romero noted, they are worried that there may be thousands more parents and children who were separated before the government made the policy public.

I n t h e are a of vot i n g rights, Romero stated that the ACLU in focusing on the swing states of Florida, Michigan, and Nevada, had succeeded through voter registration, lawsuits and other means in expanding the right to vote for the first time to more than two million people in those three states alone.

In the battle for abortion rights, Romero noted, the ACLU helped to defeat over 25 restrictions on abortions in a dozen different states, and, through litigation, had kept open the last clinic that performs abortions in the state of Kentucky. “Abortion rights are under assault by the very same people who feared the power of women when they first got the right to vote,” Romero said.

Romero went on to discuss the ACLU’s campaign to depopulate prisons and jails by 50 percent, claiming that “criminal justice reform can give us a way to demonstrate to the American people that bipartisan work is still possible.”

A 1987 Princeton University graduate who majored in t he Woo drow Wils on School of Public and International Affairs, Romero recalled his arrival on campus as a freshman in 1983, how his whole family — parents, sister, and grandmother — accompanied him.

Romero, who is the first Latino and openly gay man to serve as executive director of the ACLU, remembered that moment at Princeton more than 36 years ago as “a moment when we as a family had crossed an important border. We saw the future with hope and optimism, and would not ever be pushed back.”

He went on to describe how Princeton helped to shape his thinking as he pursued his career in law and work with the ACLU. “Princeton helped enforce the idea of community. Early on we understood the importance of hearing people from different viewpoints with very different lives.”

Romero noted t hat he became an activist on campus and came to realize the importance of “pushing boundaries and making space for people of different viewpoints.”

During the past two years, Romero reported, the ACLU has seen “incredible growth, energy and dynamism,

thanks to Donald Trump.”

While the membership grew from 280,000 to 550,000 during the George W. Bush presidency — and dropped to 400,000 with Obama in the White House — since the Trump election it has grown to 1.875 million, with the average age of members dropping by more than 24 years.

School Matters PDS Receives $5 Million Gift Princeton Day School (PDS) has received a $5 million gift, the second largest in the School’s history, from donors who wish to remain anonymous. The gift comes in two parts: $3 million, which the School has already received and has been put to immediate use; and $2 million, offered as a 1:1 challenge for new gifts and pledges received between now and June 30, 2019.

In announcing the gift, Head of School Paul J. Stellato noted that past fundraising initiatives have focused primarily on support for academic programs, facilities, professional development, and endowment for need-based financial aid. The new funds will be directed towards “a longanticipated and critically needed facility”: a 30,000 square foot, LEED-certified athletic center adjoining the skating rink and containing a field house with two indoor courts for multi-sport use and four international squash courts.

Princeton Montessori Hosts Exchange Students From China Eleven exchange students, ages 6-13, from Luo Music Education in Beijing, China visited Princeton Montessori (PM) School last month on a two-week cultural immersion exchange.

The collaboration between the two schools was designed by Lucy Luo, founder of the music school and former PM parent, and PM Head of School Michelle Morrison. Luo used to work in the Princeton area, according to a PM press release, and after she relocated back to China she continued to travel back to Princeton to enroll her son in classes at PM to improve his English.

The Chinese students, who traveled to the U.S. with their families, ranged widely in their proficiency in English, but assmilated well into their classrooms and absorbed American culture during downtime with their families, according to PM. “Children on both sides saw the similarities across the human experience while marveling at and appreciating the differences in culture and language, all of which help to alleviate misunderstanding or biases,” said Morrison. “Programs like this reinforce the belief that world peace and harmony are possible.”

PHS Celebrates Black History Evening A Black History Evening of Cultural Celebration: Sharing Our Voices and Talent Together took place on Friday, March 1 in the Princeton High School cafeteria.

Co-hosted by Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN) and Pride Unity Leadership Sisterhood Esteem (PULSE), the event showcased Princeton Public Schools students’ and staff’s talents through all performing arts genres, including song, poetry, dance, and more. The event also featured a special tribute to Shirley Satterfield, historian and longtime Princeton resident.

A New Jersey Education Association PRIDE “Black Lives Matter” grant helped to sponsor the event, which was organized by PPS social worker and coordinator of student and family services Lenora Keel, who is the advisor for MSAN and PULSE.

Waldorf School Receives Garden Grant

Horticultural Oil applications made in the late winter/ early spring can be an excellent way to reduce populations of certain insect and mite pests that overwinter on woody plants. Horticultural Oil, while safe for the environment, can prevent a large variety of pests from attacking your trees and shrubs this spring. With increasing public awareness to reduce chemical pesticide use, refined Horticultural Oils provide a safer and more environmentally friendly method of pest management. They degrade quickly following application, are non-toxic to humans and wildlife and fit very nicely into a PLANT HEALTH CARE (PHC) program.

Horticultural Oils can be effective against adelgids, rust mites, scale insects, Spruce spider mites, mealy bugs and whitefly.

We also suggest a Spring Bio-Fertilization for your key trees to encourage root growth and give them a head start.

Call WOODWINDS 609-924-3500 or email treecare@woodwinds.biz to schedule an inspection to see if Horticultural Oils are right for your garden.

“Once, during prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water” - W.C. Fields

The Waldorf School of Princeton was recently awarded a grant from the Foundation for Sustainability that will allow the school to combat soil erosion and accessibility issues.

With the new funding, the school will be able to construct raised garden bed boxes that will increase harvest yields, provide better drainage, improve air circulation and nutrient retention in the soil, reduce pest damage, and cultivate healthier root systems. Construction is scheduled to be completed in time for spring planting season.

“Building frames around the raised garden beds will conserve our soils and create better accessibility for students,” said WSP gardening teacher and environmental educator Valerie Leone. She also said she is excited to move into the development to enliven the garden for bees and other pollinators.

Leone will be attending a workshop at Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary in Virginia to learn about “pedagogical tools for teaching about the bees and a workbook for bringing bees into the schools. Practical work with the bees is part of the workshop as well as guidance for pollinator planting and transforming the gardens and landscape.”

PPS Appoints Management Firm for Referendum Upgrades The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education at its February 26 meeting approved a contract to appoint the Piscataway-based firm Epic Management, Inc. (EPIC) as construction manager for the implementation of its $26.9 million approved school facilities referendum projects.

EPIC will work cooperatively with the architects and engineers in overseeing the projects, but will report directly to the district and BOE. An evaluation committee comprised of the facilities committee and senior administrators recommended EPIC after interviewing four finalist firms for the construction management position.

EPIC will work with the district to provide cost estimates, assist with the bidding process, develop detailed construction plans and timetables, and work with architects and administrators to manage day-to-day construction at each of the school sites. EPIC will provide regular updates with photos that will be shared on the district website to keep the community informed as the projects move forward.

Job Fair for Diverse Educators Princeton Public Schools (PPS) is one of 24 sponsors of a 2019 CJ Pride job fair for recruiting diverse educators, to be held at Hightstown High School on March 14, 4-7 p.m.

“Eagerly seeking diverse candidates across all grade levels and content areas,” the recruitment flier reads. Limited administrative opportunities are also available, and all New Jersey certified candidates or candidates in the process of completing a teacher education program will be eligible to interview with school representatives.

“Our school district serves students from many different backgrounds who will graduate into a world that is culturally rich and complex,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane.

“To be able to appreciate and navigate that world, all of our students need to learn from and engage with educators and role models from different races and backgrounds.

“Our staff, too, need to learn from and engage with colleagues who present different perspectives and identities. Diversity makes our schools better for all of us. Through initiatives like CJ Pride, our goal is to attract, develop, and retain outstanding educators who will inspire our young people and help our district achieve its mission of ensuring all our students have what they need to achieve at their highest level.”

Pre-registration for the job fair is recommended at cjpride.com.

More than 280 young chess players from around New Jersey participated in the five-round tournament.

Brett Bonfield Believed In Power of Words To Connect Rather Than to Divide People

To the Editor: Ever since becoming executive director of the already sperb Princeton Public Library, Brett Bonfield has worked hard to understand, expand, and improve it. As an inveterate library user and a member of the Council of the Friends of the PPL, I’ve been grateful for the wide range and extraordinary quality of the resources, services, and work/study/meeting spaces that the PPL has been providing under Mr. Bonfield’s guidance.

Moreover, as I’ve gotten to know Mr. Bonfield, I’ve come to admire his interest in literacy and education, his enthusiasm for continuous improvement, his exceptional niceness, and his belief in the greater power of well-chosen words — the common currency of libraries — to connect rather than to divide people. So Cincinnati, the big old city on the wide Ohio River, is lucky to get him as chief operations officer of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

Strange to report, since Brett’s announcement that he and his wife are moving 600 miles west, I’ve noticed that some of the books in the PPL are looking more, well, used than usual. After months or even years of standing on the shelf in the hope of being taken down, perhaps taken home, and maybe taken to heart, library books have the right to look a little tired. But the air of bookish fatigue has gotten noticeably worse on Witherspoon Street in the last week or so.

Fortunately, I’m confident that this fatigue is a temporary condition. When a good new director finally arrives, the members of Princeton’s big, diverse, and growing family of books will straighten their spines, stand a little taller, and look eminently readable once more. While librarians sometimes leave, books tend to linger in the stacks and, ideally, in the mind. I believe we can all take comfort in bookish loyalty like that.

Mercer County Responds To Citizens Finance Advisory Committee Analysis

To the Editor: In the story, “Finance Committee Study Finds Mercer County is a Big Spender” [Town Topics, Feb. 20], the assertion that Mercer County outspends its peer counties in every category is misleading based on the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee’s (CFAC) own report. CFAC failed to consider Mercer County’s unique distinction of being home to our state capital, Trenton. The honor of hosting our state government comes with a cost: the state of New Jersey owns more than $1 billion in property, or well over one-third of all tax-exempt property in the city, and this is a burden shared by all Mercer County residents.

Also not considered in the report is the benefit of Trenton-Mercer Airport. While this publicly owned utility does increase our county taxes, the economic benefit the airport brings to the region is substantial. A 2016 Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy study on the airport concluded the economic benefit to the regional economy was more than $100 million. Left out too was mention of the revenue generated by our award-winning Mercer County Park Commission, which through four golf courses, a tennis center, equestrian center, festival grounds, skating rink, and nature center, entertains more than two million visitors each year who contribute to the county’s vigorous tourism trade.

Other per capita benchmarks noted in the CFAC study included expenditures for Public Safety — which accounts for more than 50 percent of our budget — and our Special Services School District, along with other essential services such as maintaining roads and infrastructure, providing 911 dispatch services, eliminating veteran homelessness, and feeding our senior citizens, all of which are among the services Mercer County residents value.

Providing services costs money and we do everything we can to try to reduce the tax burden on all our residents.

Using 2013 as a benchmark — the first year after Princeton’s consolidation — records show that from 2013-2016, Princeton residents actually had a lower county tax rate than Trenton residents, a fact that might surprise some.

Overall, Mercer County affords its residents an unmatched quality of life marked by superb transit access, abundant history, vibrant arts and culture, and thousands of acres of parkland and open space. With five institutions of higher learning, including the world-renowned Princeton University, Mercer County is rich with talent, which is instrumental in Mercer having one of the healthiest economies in the state, as evidenced by the November 2018 unemployment figure of 2.7 percent, the lowest in almost 30 years.

While I appreciate CFAC’s analysis, it fails to consider conditions unique to Mercer County. As host to state government and an important urban core, Mercer County sits apart from the peer counties identified in the advisory committee analysis. County tax dollars are put toward making Mercer an even better place to live and work. As a regional government, we are committed to sustaining the quality of life of our residents, while carefully managing our finances.

Respectfully, BRIAN M. HUGHES, MERCER COUNTY EXECUTIVE

To the Editor: It’s always heartwarming to see the Kids & Camps guide in Town Topics each year. As a young person growing up in Brooklyn, I didn’t have the opportunity to spend my summers outside exploring the natural world and learning how to work with kids outside of my neighborhood. It’s one of the many reasons that I joined the board of the PrincetonBlairstown Center after settling in the Princeton area.

So many parents from middle- and upper-income families have the resources to send their kids to some of the best summer programs in the nation, much like the ones you highlighted in your camp guide. For kids from lowincome neighborhoods, the options are very limited and inequitable. When school is not in session, many hang out in their neighborhoods or spend the summer inside their apartments playing video games or watching TV. Consequently, year after year they experience the “summer slide” without the opportunities to build their skills the way more affluent kids have. Most young people lose two months of mathematical skills every summer and kids from low-income communities lose another two to three months in reading.

At the Princeton-Blairstown Center, each summer we provide roughly 550 young people with an intentional learning opportunity that combats summer learning loss.

These young people spend a week at our 264-acre campus in Blairstown, NJ for our Summer Bridge Program, which is offered at no charge. They spend three hours a day engaged in hands-on literacy; science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); and project-based learning; and three hours a day working on their social-emotional skills through ropes and challenge course activities that focus on building critical 21st century skills like creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

All young people deserve opportunities for enriching and stimulating summer experiences so that they start the school year ready to learn and compete on an even playing field. For more than 110 years, the Princeton-Blairstown Center has been providing this opportunity to some of the most deserving young people in our community.

SHAWN MAXAM Lawrenceville Board Member, Princeton-Blairstown Center

Supporting Efforts On Tear-Downs Expressed by Zoning Officer Bridger

To the Editor: As acknowledged in newspaper articles and letters, many if not most citizens within Princeton support efforts to, as expressed by Zoning Officer Derek Bridger, “slow down and de-incentivize tear-downs on substandard lots.” That desire is of long duration and growing stronger with each sighting of the dreaded orange plastic fencing and red ribbons around old trees that signals another razing of a house and blighting of a landscape. Bridger and Council members David Cohen and Tim Quinn offer a compelling rationale for why Princeton should adopt the proposed ordinance that would eliminate Floor Area Ratio (FAR) bonuses allowing for larger buildings on undersized lots. If amendments need to be made to avoid the unintended consequences of placing minor adjustments to a house such as the replacement of a window under this ordinance then they should be made but quickly. I fear that these complaints mask a competing desire of architects and developers to continue to build structures that are grossly inconsistent with the neighborhoods in which they appear.

Kevin Roche, the noted architect, who died last week toward the end of his career, spoke about the act of building as an “act of faith in the future, and of hope.” Architecture, he realized, should be “not only sane and useful and beautiful, but a clear and true reflection of our own aspirations.” I believe that the proposed ordinance will lead to rehabilitation of existing buildings in a way that is not only useful and beautiful but also reflective of our aspirations for Princeton and what we wish to be as a community.

Improving Health of Local Economy At the Heart of Lambros’s Platform

addressing our town’s most pressing issues. Michelle knows the difference between talking about diversity, affordability, and lower taxes, and having the creative ideas to do something about them.

Her focus on the future is based on her lifelong history with Princeton. Michelle’s roots here go back a hundred years. As the daughter of Italian-American stone-carvers and gardeners, who helped build the University, she has personally felt the erosion of our working and middle class population. With a perspective sharpened in Washington, DC and worldwide, she knows how to build public/private relationships that benefit all. She will bring exceptional knowledge to the tasks at hand.

What solutions do Michelle’s competitors offer for problems of affordability, diversity, and lower taxes? Michelle brings her practical experience in finance. Michelle gets things done: working with over 40 local business owners, she is producing Princeton’s first Restaurant Week. It was her brainchild and she went out and did it.

Improving the health of our local economy is at the heart of Michelle’s platform. A vibrant downtown creates funds for affordable housing, reduces property taxes, and provides jobs for residents.

Finally, Michelle is my friend, and she’s a gem. She genuinely gets along with everyone. She’s kind, smart, warm, and funny. In 2021, the Council will renegotiate the town’s agreement with the University. We will need a savvy negotiator who brings warmth and good will to the task. Michelle’s skill set will complement that of the current members. We need her on the Council. To learn more about Michelle, visit www.pironeforcouncil.com.

Mia Sacks Is a Uniquely Competent And Caring Candidate for Council

To the Editor: When people in Princeton think about Mia Sacks, these are qualities that come first to mind: leadership, ability, intellect, and compassion. The exciting news is that she wants to put all that to work for the residents of Princeton as a member of Council. Mia is our own home-grown talent and a graduate of our public schools where her commitment to progressive politics was cultivated. That commitment is evident in her impressive professional background with several decades working for our nation’s leading social justice organizations.

On a local level, Mia has worked tirelessly and without fanfare to make our town more inclusive, more diverse, more accountable, and more progressive. The time and energy Mia has already invested in our town over the years is exceptional and we all have benefited from this involvement. Mia understands that at the core of our humanity is the dignity of the human spirit. She meets and connects with people where they are and without judgment — and helps them to a better place. It is no surprise that her decision to run for office has been met with widespread support as people in every sector of this community have direct experience with Mia’s commitment to helping us individually and collectively.

Princeton 2030 and beyond will be here soon. To successfully prepare for the future we need leaders like Mia whose vision prioritizes equity and is informed by a deeply-rooted awareness of our town’s history and its inequitable past.

However, vision without the skills to ensure implementation is useless. First and foremost, Mia possesses an unrivaled understanding of the finely woven ecosystem that is our community, and has demonstrated repeatedly how organization, planning, and strategy work to bring vision to fruition. The ability to bring about consensus through personal engagement and the art of compromise are key components and part of a rare skill set that will enable Mia to help us move forward in planning our shared future with unity.

Key decisions about the next half century for Princeton will be made in the next few years. I cannot in good conscience sit on the sidelines when so much is at stake, and nor should you. We have the opportunity to support a uniquely competent and caring candidate who will lead as one of us. Please join me in supporting Mia Sacks for Princeton Council.

Scott’s new book presents a series of essays that explore the history and theory of free inquiry and its value today.

Scott considers the contradictions in the concept of academic freedom and examines the relationship between state power and higher education; the differences between the First Amendment right of free speech and the guarantee of academic freedom; and, in response to recent campus controversies, the politics of civility. The book concludes with an interview conducted

by Bill Moyers in which Scott discusses the personal experiences that have informed her views.

Joan Wallach Scott is professor emerita in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Joseph Fischel and Regina Kunzel will be at Labyrinth Books discussing Fischel’s book, Screw Consent: A Better Politics of Sexual Justice on Thursday, March 7 at 6 p.m. This event is cosponsored by Princeton’s Humanities Council Robyn Wiegman of Duke University writes, “Is consent the feminist holy grail to emancipated sex? This provocative new book argues ‘no’ by focusing on what the politics of consent cannot teach us about the harm of harmful sex. With critical nuance and political nerve, Fischel demonstrates that the future of feminist sexual cultures lies in differentiating the legal utility of consent from feminist understandings of power, desire, and pleasure.

Joseph Fischel is associate professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. He is the author of Sex and Harm in the Age of Consent. Regina Kunzel is professor of History and Gender and Sexu-

ality Studies and director of the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. Kunzel’s most recent book is Criminal Intimacy : Prison and the Uneven History of Modern American Sexuality.

Lennie Tristano at 100 — Scenario for a Jazz Legend

S

and ran downstairs to listen, “and it was Lennie.” If this were my novel, I’d leave it there. But Gitler is writing non-fiction. When he asks Tristano’s student and eventual bandmate alto saxophonist Lee Konitz, who shares the same chapter, Konitz says, “he’s a blowhard,” but “with affection.”

Konitz adds, “I never heard him do that particular thing, but I did hear him play the tenor like Lester Young once.”

Offline It was thanks to being mysteriously cut loose from the internet that I settled down to read Gitler’s chapter on Tristano. Had I been surfing online, I’d have skimmed it instead of giving it my full attention. Internet deprivation also led me to spend my day offline driving around listening to Tristano and brainstorming my hypothetical novel. The forthright, full-steam-ahead power of his playing on t r a c k s l i ke “ L i n e U p” a n d “ Tu r kish Mambo” has little to do with the remote, cerebr a l p er former I mistook him for when I was a teenage subscriber to Downbeat The benefit of being back online i s yo u c a n t y p e a few words in the search box and be listening to Tristano’s actual voice speaking to you from the nocturnal depths of cyberspace. “I don’t compose anything,” he’s saying. “See, that’s the great difference between jazz and any other kind of music.”

He sounds like a lifetime city dweller, with a touch of urban wise guy, not a hustler but someone who knows and speaks his mind. I’d cast Al Pacino or maybe Adrien Brody in the film version of my Tristano novel. You can hear city streets as he says, “The music is already in your head and all you do is let your hands reproduce what you hear as you hear it so that what you come up with is something completely spontaneous. Like when you hear a great Charlie Parker solo, what you actually do is experience somebody in the act of creating beauty.”

Mysterious Intuition Close to the heart of my novel would be the mutual admiration society of Tristano and Parker, a depar ture from the usual black legend/white sidekick formula played out in oth-

ometimes I think a novelist made this man up. If you were creating a fictional jazz genius, would you name him Parker or Davis or Rollins or Gillespie? Or would you name him Tristano? ” Lennie Tristano (1919-1978) is for real. He was born in Chicago 100 years ago this month, March 19, 1919, and is the subject of a long, in-depth, consummately readable chapter in Jazz Masters of the 40’s (Macmillan 1966) by jazz critic Ira Gitler, who died February 23.

The fictional possibilities jump out at you from Gitler’s opening paragraph, where Tristano is “mentor, teacher, nursemaid, and confidant of a small cell of young musicians.” Outsiders are “apt to name the hypnotist Svengali when describing Tristano, although he has been totally blind since the age of 10.” Picture a blind Svengali also known as “the witch doctor” and you begin to see the novelistic slant of the message on the cover of Gitler’s book: “the lean days and brave nights of Bebop and the Hipster; musical revolt and intellectual curiosity; the sardonic beauty and necessary self-pity which formed the basis of Modern Jazz.”

According to Gitler, Tristano’s first job, at 11, was in an Illinois whorehouse, “downstairs at the bar.” He’d begun listening to and “fooling around with” a player piano when he was two.

Imitating it, he tells Gitler, “gave me the clue.” His eyesight was weak from birth and, depending on your source, either influenza or measles left him vulnerable to total blindness. At eight he was placed in a handicapped class at a public school, and a year later he was in a state institution for the blind, where he studied piano, saxophone, clarinet, and cello and formed a band that occasionally played gigs off the grounds. At Chicago’s Conservatory of Music he wrapped up a two-year harmony course in six weeks, got his bachelor’s degree in three years, and his master’s in a year. When the school insisted that he pay $500 for the time that a full course normally takes, he turned down the diploma and began teaching his own students, as he would do for the rest of his life.

Faster Than Art Tatum?

During the war Tristano played at servicemen’s centers. By 1945 he was working in “good cocktail lounges” with, he claims, no thought of becoming “a great jazz musician.” Yet he told another interviewer that by 1944 he’d reached a point where he could “rifle off” anything of Art Tatum’s “with scandalous efficiency.” He claimed to be able to play “Elegie,” one of the likewise blind virtuoso’s fastest pieces “and finish ahead of Tatum.” A legend reported by Gitler has a pianist walking past a bar in Chicago when he thought he heard Tatum

catch hold of the casket at the exact right moment; as the meditative prelude finds its way toward the soul of a masterpiece, the left hand provides the cadence of a slow funeral procession following behind the farewell flight of the right hand until the music marches into silence. “Intuition” is a word close to Tristano’s compositional heart. Besides being the title of one of his best-known works, it reflects what a colleague told Ira Gitler, that Tristano reads as much as he plays, which means “between six or eight hours a day.” Although he uses braille, he does most of his “reading” by listening to recordings for the blind. He singles out Proust and Dostoevsky as favorites, along with Emily Dickinson.

Spontaneous Bop Prosody It’s likely that at some point Lee Konitz or someone else in Tristano’s circle introduced him to the writings of Jack Kerouac. Or he may have been in the Half Note on one of the nights Kerouac was reading his blues and haikus to the playing of tenormen Zoot Sims and Al Cohn. While the composer of works like “East Thirty-Second,” with its driving, wholly unsentimental and unself-pitying urban ambiance, might have found Kerouac’s prose rhapsodies off-putting, he’d have surely appreciated the free spirit of improvisation alive in the author of On the Road’s “spontaneous bop prosody,” especially if he’d been told that Kerouac’s sense of style had been directly inspired by Tristano’s devotion to “something completely spontaneous.”

If I could write it my way, Tristano would be a mystery guest at the New Year’s Eve party Kerouac describes in a Jan. 2, 1948 letter, where a letter from Kerouac to Allen Ginsberg: “We had a recording machine and made mad jazz records all night, singing and riffing with the piano” and discovering “a new mode of singing” that combines Sarah Vaughan with Tristano, the genius who is “standing the music world on its ear.”

Gitler’s Liner Notes ou could say that the story of every jazz album is there to be told in the liner notes, and the master, the poet laureate of the form, was Ira Gitler. According to his colleague Gary Giddins, Gitler’s liner notes “are as much a part of those albums as the sequencing of tracks and the cover art.” Gitler wrote the notes for the Wardell Gray Memorial albums that introduced me to one of the musicians I most admire.

Two other favorites with Gitler’s touch that come to mind are Sonny Rollins’s Tenor Madness and John Coltrane’s Soultrane, where Gitler put the phrase “sheets of sound” into the vernacular.”

erwise admirable films such as Clint Eastwood’s Bird and Bernard Tavernier’s Round Midnight. It was Tristano who famously said in a 1951 Downbeat Blindfold Test, “If Charlie Parker wanted to invoke plagiarism laws, he could sue almost everybody who’s made a record in the last ten years.”

Interviewed in Robert Reisner’s Bird: The Legend of Charlie Parker, Tristano recalls the time in 1947 when his group was playing opposite Parker’s at the Three Deuces on 52nd street: “He sat through my entire set listening intently. When it was over, the two fellows I was playing with left the stand, leaving me alone. They knew I could get around all right but Bird didn’t know that; he thought I was hung up for the moment. He rushed up to the stand, told me how much he liked my playing, and subtly escorted me off the bandstand.”

Reisner accompanies Tristano’s remarks w it h an anecdote almost too good to be tr ue, alt hough it makes emotional sense if you keep in mind Parker’s gest ure at t he Three Deuces. During his funeral, where Tristano was on e of t h e honorary pall-bearers, “at one juncture, they dropped the casket,” and “by some mysterious intuitive process, Tristano stuck out his arm at that precise moment and caught it.”

A Masterpiece Now picture Tristano sitting at the piano, all alone, playing “Requiem,” which he composed for Bird the month he died, March 1955. It can be heard on the Atlantic album, Lennie Tristano (1956), between the almost punishing excitement of “The LineUp” and “Turkish Mambo.” In his liner notes, Barry Ulanov observes that the “achievement is in the form, a kind of ‘prelude and blues’ structure, in which first of all Lennie sets a mood with unexpected Schumannesque figures, and then, even as Charlie did, plays a rest into the blues. There is a tender deliberateness about the performance: it is a man thinking grief, feeling deprived, thinking and feeling in the logical medium for grief and deprivation in jazz: the blues.”

In “Requiem” you hear the musical equivalent of the “mysterious intuitive process” that enabled Tristano to

Two of the pieces performed were madrigals, a touchstone of the English choral tradition with musical roots in Italy. Madrigals served as evening entertainment in Renaissance England, with texts ranging from sweet and serene to risqué. John Wilbye’s I Always Beg, dating from the turn of the 17th century, showed a full sound from 12 singers, with effective dynamic contrasts. A contrasting and challenging work in a similar vein was Sir Edward Elgar’s partsong There is Sweet Music, representing England’s 19th century Cecilian revival of a cappella vocal music. Scored for two choruses singing in two different keys, this piece showed a well-blended men’s sections with the women’s sections coming in as if someone had turned on a transposer. The two different keys used by Elgar had individual musical colors, and the occasional clashes of harmony further demonstrated the independence of each singer. he five movements of Byrd’s Mass, the core work of the program, were divided into three groups and presented in liturgical order. Most unusual was the treatment of the central “Credo,” which The Singers performed without the soprano voice — recreating an alto-tenor-bass sonority which would have been prevalent in Byrd’s time. This movement showed a smooth flow, with the bass section providing a solid foundation to the sound. The text to the “Credo” is extensive, and The Singers well conveyed the varying shifts in the liturgical text — calm and serene words of salvation and jubilant resurrection verses. In the closing “Agnus Dei,” Sametz placed an emphasis on the harmonic suspensions in the music, slowing the movement down to draw out the harmonic tension. As throughout the concert, the choral sound from the ensemble was lean and uncluttered, in a space which could be unforgiving in showing glitches and mistakes. Sametz showed his compositional ingenuity in an encore which was a “mash-up” of the opening passages of the Byrd “Agnus Dei” which slowly morphed into Paul McCartney’s “Yesterday,” featuring tenor soloist Steven Williamson, well complemented by the wordless accompaniment of the rest of The Princeton Singers.

he Princeton Singers continued its long-standing collaboration with the Princeton University Art Museum this past weekend with a performance tied to the Museum’s current “Family Album” exhibit of 18th-century British painter Thomas Gainsborough. Princeton Singers Artistic Director Steven Sametz led the professional chamber vocal ensemble in a program of British a capella choral music spanning more than six centuries. Performing in varied configurations in the Museum’s medieval gallery, The Singers made full use of the unusual space and complementary acoustics in bringing music of “This Sceptered Isle” to life.

The Princeton Singers’ late Saturday afternoon performance (the concert was repeated later Saturday night) was centered on a five-part work by 16th-century English composer William Byrd. Byrd bridged the Protestant and Catholic music traditions while composing several settings of the Catholic liturgical mass at a time when it was politically dangerous to do so. Sametz built Saturday’s concert around Byrd’s late 16th-century Mass for Four Voices, interspersing secular works of British choral music among the mass movements.

With interesting trivia-laden and informative introductions to each selection, Sametz illustrated his programming concept for this eight-work concert. The chorus opened with a “Pastyme with Good Company,” with music and text likely by King Henry VIII, who apparently had time for composing amidst his many wives. The Singers generated a very bright sound in the space of the gallery, with a joyous and chipper choral tone aided by uniform vowel production among all singers.

Throughout the concert, The Princeton Singers demonstrated a variety of compositional techniques from the Middle Ages through the 21st century, with the works intermingled among Byrd’s Mass, from 15th-century fauxbourdon to the sharp dissonances of Cecilia McDowell’s Regina Coeli. An “Alleluia” from the 15th-century carol La cantenance angloise was sung by six men in one part of the gallery and six women in another, showing a warm sound when both halves of the chorus sang together.

A Teacher Writes Love Letters for a Rival in “Cowboy Versus Samurai”; Theatre Intime Succeeds with Modern Retelling of “Cyrano de Bergerac”

“T

hings in nature always hide. Lizards change the color of their skins. Moths live or die based on the color of their wings,” muses Del, a high school P.E. teacher who is Caucasian. “They do these things because when you stand out in the world you invite danger. You … will be eaten alive by something that was waiting for you to show yourself. And that’s how I felt, standing like a shadow on your outskirts, invisible.”

This poetic monologue turns out to be one of many letters written, on Del’s behalf, to Veronica Lee, an intelligent and charming Asian American woman who has recently moved to the small town of Breakneck, Wyoming, to teach biology. The author of the letters is Travis Park, an English teacher who is Del’s friend and colleague, and the only Korean American man in Breakneck. Travis loves Veronica, but she prefers to date white men.

Theatre Intime and the East West Theater Company of Princeton University are presenting a talented production of Cowboy Versus Samurai. Michael Golamco, a playwright of Filipino and Chinese American descent, crafts this witty but moving romantic comedy as a contemporary re-imagining of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Although de Bergerac (1619-1655) was real, Edmond Rostand’s 1897 drama fictionalizes the life of the author and duelist. In Rostand’s play, de Bergerac’s large nose causes him to fear that he is too ugly to court his distant cousin, Roxanne. Cyrano ghostwrites letters to Roxanne on behalf of the handsome Christian de Neuvillette, a fellow soldier.

In Golamco’s version, the male protagonist’s insecurities stem not from his facial features, but from his certainty that Veronica’s racial preferences in a partner cannot change.

We discover that Travis has been scarred by an incident that happened in the course of a previous relationship.

“I decided to propose this show when I realized the theatre season this year at Princeton completely lacked any representation of Asian experiences and stories,” director Jacy Duan states in a press release for the production, adding that the play “is particularly special in tackling the internalized racism and insecurities that come with being an Asian American in a supposedly post-racial society … it relates the absurdities of modern-day dating, especially as a person of color.”

In a program note Duan elaborates that “our physical attraction does not exist in a bubble, but we are racial projects, informed by the society we live in. Why else is there such

a disparity in response rates between races in dating apps like Tinder and OkCupid?”

Cowboy Versus Samurai was premiered in 2005 by the National Asian American Theatre Company, at the Rattlestick Theatre in New York City. Given that the script designates the “present day” as the time period, it is notable that the show does not seem particularly aware of the internet. Social media was relatively new in 2005, but dating websites were well established. (OkCupid, the site mentioned by Duan, launched in 2004.)

It would add an interesting layer if Rostand’s play had been updated even more, to explore the technological aspect of modern relationships. Instead, the world of the show appears comparatively low-tech. Travis is seen using a typewriter, and “Del’s” letters to Veronica are written on paper.

When Travis and Veronica meet, they immediately enjoy a pleasant conversation, which leads to Travis making dinner for Veronica at her home. However, in the interest of his friends’ happiness, Travis reluctantly agrees to ghostwrite letters for Del, a stereotypical all-American cowboy who, for all his bravado, faces insecurities of his own: he fears he lacks

“COWBOY VERSUS SAMURAI”: Performances are underway for “Cowboy Versus Samurai.” Presented by Theatre Intime and the East West Theater Company at Princeton University, and directed by Jacy Duan ‘21, the play runs through March 9 at the Hamilton Murray Theater.

Veronica (Megan Pan ’22, left) and Travis (Richard Peng ’20) have much in common. However, Veronica’s romantic preferences exacerbate Travis’ insecurities about his identity, presenting obstacles to the development of their relationship.

the verbal eloquence to interest Veronica.

Chester, a self-described “samurai” and militant leader of the two-person Breakneck Asian American Alliance (BAAA) — of which Travis is the unwilling second member — vehemently opposes Travis’s decision to help Del. Chester’s ancestry is uncertain; he was adopted, and his parents “forgot to ask the adoption people which country he came from,” as Travis explains to Veronica.

Chester, who prays to Bruce Lee, is the assistant manager of “the only ethnic restaurant in town”: Taco Tuesday.

In addition to the changes in location and time period, audiences familiar with Cyrano de Bergerac will notice other deviations from Rostand’s version, particularly in the latter part of the second act. This is entirely within Golamco’s right, though two characters are paired off in a way that is rather abrupt and unbelievable, because it is not supported by events that lead up to it.

However, in addition to the script’s probing exploration of stereotypes and racial identity, as well as media portrayals of different cultures, the dialogue has a nice thematic unity.

Del relates an anecdote about a horse he had;

t Conductor

Lou Chen ’19, Gues

Veronica casually nicknames Travis “Hoss” when they meet; and at one point Chester refers to a “white-winged steed.”

Where Golamco is particularly successful, however, is in giving actors ample scope for comedic but layered performances. The dialogue contains plenty of snappy one-liners; “I’m not rejecting you because of your race,” Veronica quietly but acerbically assures Chester, as she rebuffs his advances. But the humor works so well because it is character-driven.

Golamco pits Travis and Veronica, who wish to quietly assimilate into the culture of their new home, against stereotypical role-players such as Del and Chester — and lets the personality types bounce off of each other.

The cast members make the most of this, delivering performances that are uniformly strong. As the mild-mannered Travis, Richard Peng has excellent chemistry with Megan Pan, who plays the equally soft-spoken but more self-assured Veronica.

As Del, Chris Leahy strikes the right balance between bravado and vulnerability, which ensures that the character is likeable.

This is crucial, given that the audience’s sympathies are mostly in favor of Travis.

Jonathan Som is especially entertaining as the swaggering, vociferous Chester. With precise comic timing and intrusive body language, he lets the character’s antics provide the necessary contrast to the reserved Travis, as well as the macho but earnest Del. In this Som is aided by costume designer Lydia Gompper, who provides the character with a variety of distinctive clothes, including a white headband. Travis and Veronica are given tasteful dark sweaters. Del’s light green shirt, of course, is matched with a cowboy hat, blue jeans, and a shiny brass belt.

The lighting by Aimee Sampayan creates some striking silhouettes, and is particularly effective during a scene in which a burning barn is described. Wendy Ho’s dual set demarcates the school and Veronica’s sparse but cozy apartment. n addition to eliciting polished performances from the cast, Duan makes some astute choices in terms of staging. An argument between Travis and Del occurs on the same side of the stage as a jovial game of catch played by those two men earlier in the show. Metaphorically they are throwing the courtship of Veronica back and forth between them.

The show keeps the audience guessing which of the two, if either, ultimately will end up with her.

“Saunter” Exhibit at Morpeth Contemporary

“Saunter,” featuring paintings by Micheal Madigan, will be on exhibit at Morpeth Contemporar y, 43 West Broad St reet, Hop ewell March 9-31. A reception is Saturday, March 9, 6-8 p.m.

M a d i g a n’s p a i n t i n g s , while abstract, are steeped in place. For his most recent works, which draw on

his travels and recollections of sacred sites and other lands, Madigan said that the naturalist John Muir’s definition of the word “saunter” hit home for him.

As Muir wrote: “…back in the Middle Ages, people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going they would reply, ‘A la sainte terre,’ ‘To the Holy Land.’ And so they became known as sainteterre-ers or saunterers.”

The saunterer’s purposedriven state of mind is a familiar one for Madigan, who has visited (and revisited) lands throughout Europe and the U.S. over the past 20 years. Specific sites

include Valencia and the El Andalucian region of Spain.

County Galway and County Kerry in Ireland; Toulouse, France; and Tuscany, Italy.

While traveling, Madigan describes experiencing a deeply-felt connection or feeling a flood of memories that he cannot immediately define.

His color-rich paintings are evocations of his interactions with these places, their history, and their energy.

Mad igan s ays : “T hes e ‘Saunter’ paintings allow my process of experiencing places to evolve as content.

A color placed here, a texture there, a layering of dark and light flowing through a solid shape and … there it is: an invitation to be present and encounter.”

BLACK CANVAS GALA: More than 40 participating artists were given a 12” x 12” blank canvas on which to create a new work of art for this year’s Black Canvas Gala and Art Auction, to be held Saturday, March 23 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the West Windsor Art Center. Proceeds from the event will support the WWAC’s education programs and multidisciplinary arts programming.

WWAC to Host Blank Canvas Gala

The West Windsor Arts Council (WWAC) invites the community to participate in a unique and interactive fundraiser. The Blank Canvas Gala and Art Auction, to be held at the arts center on Saturday, March 23, from 7 to 10 p.m. It will feature original works of art created by artists in the region, and will also give guests the chance to be part of the creation of a collaborative piece of art to commemorate the evening.

As part of this invitational show, each of the more than 40 participating artists were given a 12” x 12” blank canvas on which to create a new work of art. Each will be offered for sale in support of the many activities and projects at West Windsor Arts Center. The works will range from realism to postmodernism, using all manner of

mediums, including fabric, photography, acrylic paint, and found materials.

“Our annual gala is always a wonderful and creative opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy an elegant evening out celebrating this warm and welcoming center for the arts,” says Aylin Green, executive director of the West Windsor Arts Council. The event will feature live music by guitarist Dave Baker, an open bar, and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and sweets.

Live art demonstrations will also be featured. The first will be by Anne Kullaf, an accomplished painter whose deft brushstrokes elegantly evoke locations from South Jersey to France. The second will feature James Hickey, who creates dynamic abstracts in bold colors with mixed media, channeling a depth of emotions.

“We are also excited to announce that renowned teaching artist Katie Truk will lead an interactive art project to create a largescale mural during the gala,” To: ___________________________ adds Green.

The New Jersey Department of Human Services has issued a call for entries for the 24th Annual New Jersey Teen Media Contest, which

highlights the Department’s mission to celebrate and support families.

This annual contest — run by the Department’s Division of Family Development — is open to all New Jersey middle and high school-aged students. This year, the contest will once again accept entries in the hand-painted/ hand- draw n and w r it ten word categories. For 2019, the computer-generated and digital artwork category returns by popular demand.

This year’s challenge to teens is to illustrate through regular or computer/digital art, as well as the written word a situation in your life when you felt most supported by a parent or loved one.

Teens are invited to show when they most appreciate having parents or loved ones present in their daily life.

“For more than two decades, the New Jersey Teen Media Contest has celebrated families, and highlighted the importance of young people having a strong support network,” said Human Services Commissioner Carole Johnson. “We are delighted to continue this strong tradition.”

“The contest focuses on celebrating family, while raising awareness about parental responsibility and the importance of parents and loved ones being deeply involved in a child’s life,” said Patricia A. Risch, assistant director of the Division’s Office of Child Support Services. “The New Jersey Teen Media Contest has been part of our effort to foster that understanding for nearly 25 years. Year after year, the entire Department is struck by the creativity, vision, and talent that stu-

Once again, 2018 broke all records for submissions.

From these, the juror created a show with diverse styles, from abstract expressionism to Delaware Valley impressionist landscapes to boldly painted still lifes, Cubism, and more. There are awards and prizes in 10 categories.

Juror Liz Kelton Sheehan is an educator and independent curator of contemporary art with particular interests in public, interactive, and interdisciplinary projects. A resident of Bucks County, Pa, she holds degrees in art history and museum studies from Bowdoin College and Tufts University, and has over 15 years of experience working with museums and organizations in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Since moving to the area six years ago, Sheehan has curated exhibitions for the Hunterdon Art Museum, Clinton; the James A. Michener Art Museum, Doylestown, Pa.;

and the Hicks Art Gallery at Bucks County Community College. In addition, she is the co-organizer of the Lambertville-New Hope PechaKucha series, which she started in 2015 to provide a forum for the creative communities on both sides of the Delaware.

This year’s Ellarslie Open 36 will be on view May 4 through July 7. An opening reception is Friday, May 3, 6 to 8:30 p.m. For more information and a complete prospectus, visit http://ellarslie. org/ellarslie-open-36-call or call (609) 989-3632.

On Saturday, March, 16, Hope Loves Company (HLC) will host a benefit at Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad Ballroom in Titusville, with nine-piece band Friends Classic Rock.

HLC is the only nonprofit and 501c (3) in the U.S. with the mission of providing both emotional and educational support to children and young adults who have had or have a loved one battling ALS. Its premier program is Camp HLC, a free weekend retreat for children and their families who are affected by ALS. Camp HLC provides encouragement and support along with the fun activities.

Local families return to the

New Jersey camp held at Fairview Lakes YMCA each year in May. Camp HLC also takes place in Indiana, Massachusetts, Illinois, Florida, and California.

The Night of Hope will include music, food from local restaurants, silent auction prizes, and the opportunity to meet some of the HLC children and young ambassadors.

Currently, there is no known cause or cure for ALS. There are approximately 30,000 patients in the United States who live with ALS, and it is estimated that 85 percent of them have children. HLC was founded by Titusville’s Jodi O’Donnell-Ames, who lost her husband to ALS in 2001.

Tobias Design

Tobias Design, located in Hopewell, provides personalized service to help homeowners design kitchens and baths with distinctive style that maintains functionality.

Our process starts with questions that help us determine our clients’ design style and identify how they specifically use the space. Almost like how an actor would absorb themselves in a role, we absorb ourselves in our clients’ minds and reflect back through designing a space that is unique to them.

We assist our clients with the selection of related materials that will complete the picture — countertops, tile,

flooring, backsplash, lighting, plumbing, paint selection, etc. — so that in the end, the completed kitchen or bathroom looks like a cohesive, thoughtful, complete design.

Clients come to Tobias Design because they want their kitchens or bathrooms to be a reflection of who they are.

Here lies the opportunity to do something fresh, unexpected, unpredictable, and truly unlike anything else.

Tobias Design offers cabinetry from SieMatic, Bentwood Luxury Kitchens, Harmoni, Artcraft, Siteline, and Greenfield Cabinetry. Tobias Design has been recognized

by Houzz, the online community for interior designers and home improvement professionals and awarded “Best in Customer Service” for six consecutive years. For more information, visit www.tobiasdesignllc.com.

The Favourite

CINEMA REVIEW

Olivia Colman Delivers Oscar-Winning Performance in Costume Drama

Q

ueen Anne (1665-1714) was a sickly monarch whose dozen-year reign ran from 1702 to 1714.

She was also married to Prince George of Denmark from 1683 until he passed away at Kensington Palace in 1708.

Although Anne was unable to produce an heir, it wasn’t from a lack of trying. She was pregnant 17 times, but most of her babies either miscarried or were stillborn, and the handful carried to term died during infancy. The queen coped with the loss by raising 17 pet rabbits, one for each offspring.

Until now, Anne and George have been generally remembered as having been faithful and devoted partners.

But you can add The Favourite to the long list of revisionist sagas which deign to impose present-day values while ignoring long-standing conventional wisdom.

So, a British history buff is more likely to be frustrated

by The Favourite than your average fan of the costume drama genre. The carefully-constructed crowd-pleaser was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Yorgos Lanthimos), and Best Original Screenplay.

The three female leads were nominated, too, although Olivia Colman landed the movie’s sole Oscar for her

memorable performance as domineering Queen Anne.

Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone co-star opposite Colman, as a duchess and a servant vying for the manipulative monarch’s affections.

At the point of departure, we find Lady Sarah (Weisz) already attending to every need of an obese queen crippled by gout. The two are also secretly conducting a passionate, forbidden affair.

But when Abigail (Stone) arrives on the scene, Anne’s head is turned by the attractive young maid. A subtle power struggle ensues, as each of the subjects does her best to become the queen’s constant companion. Meanwhile, Anne’s husband, George, is conveniently absent entirely from the tale.

A fabricated romantic romp for folks more concerned about a historical drama’s entertainment value than its commitment to the facts.

Excellent (H H H H). Rated R for profanity, nudity, and graphic sexuality. Running time: 119 minutes. Production Companies: Element Pictures/Scarlet Films/Film4 Productions/Waypoint Entertainment. Distributor: Fox Searchlight Pictures.

T he S ourland Cons ervancy (SC) announced that it has been awarded a 2019 Roots for Rivers Grant for $17,544.80 from The Nature Conservancy and the Watershed Institute. The Sourland Conservancy will partner with Mercer County, the Mercer County Park Commission (MCPC), and the Americorps NJ Watershed Program to plant 1,500 native trees and shrubs in the Moore’s Creek floodplain near Pleasant Valley Road at the foot of Baldpate Mountain.

The SC staff, partnering agencies, and volunteers will plant native trees and shrubs in the six-acre fallow field: river birch, red maple, pawpaw, dogwood, bayberry, spicebush, winterberry holly, blueberry, witch hazel, and more. MCPC Senior Land Steward Jillian Stark and AmeriCorps NJ Watershed Ambassador Fairfax Hutter developed the plant list for the project and will participate in the planting and in project oversight.

Caroline Katmann, SC executive director said, “This is important work. This restoration project will provide critical stream buffers to help protect water quality of Sourland streams, prevent flooding, and provide quality habitat for insects, fish, birds, and other native animals.”

Throughout much of the state, floodplains have been deforested and left without trees. Native tree and shrubs planted along previously deforested stream banks and adjacent land (riparian area) help to protect and enhance water resources from landuse impacts in the watershed. Forested riparian buffers provide canopy cover to cool the water and regulate in-stream temperatures for aquatic macroinvertebrate and fish species, provide a root system to stabilize stream banks and filter out excess nutrients and pollut-

ants from stormwater runoff, provide extra storage for flood waters, and supply food and habitat for a variety of in-stream and riparian wildlife.

The Sourland Conservancy’s Stewardship Committee Chairman Chris Berry said, “Our team is thrilled to have the opportunity to restore this critical area. Our volunteers have done great work on planting projects in the past. This will be our biggest one yet. We’re looking forward to meeting a lot of people and planting a lot of trees and shrubs.”

Several planting dates are planned to accommodate volunteers’ availability: April 24, 25, 26 and 27. Morning and afternoon shifts will be offered. To register, visit www.tiny.cc/RootsForRivers. To learn more about the project, visit www.sourland. org/roots-for-river-reforestation.

Community Foundation Named Among Best in U.S.

Charity Navigator has cited the Princeton Area Community Foundation (PACF) as among the top 10 community foundations in the United States. Charity Navigator is the nation’s largest independent charity evaluator.

The Community Foundations named to the list “are empowering donors, large and small, to make a difference through a number of community-focused initiatives,” according to Charity Navigator. “They are focused on addressing the most pressing issues facing their constituents through creative approaches and innovative programs.”

The Community Foundations were selected based on their performance in the Charity Navigator rating system, which grades nonprofits based on finances and accountability and transparency.

All ten organizations on the list received four out of four stars in the rating system.

PU Women’s Hockey Headed to ECACH Semis As Freshman Fillier Provides Offensive Spark

W

ith the Princeton University women’s hockey team mired in a three-game losing streak and locked in a scoreless game with St. Lawrence last Friday at Hobey Baker Rink heading into the second period of their ECAC Hockey quarterfinal opener, the Tigers needed a jolt.

Princeton freshman forward Sarah Fillier provided that spark, tallying three straight goals in the second period as the Tigers built a 3-0 lead on the way to a 4-1 triumph.

“One of the main things we said in the room going into the second was just bear down in front of the net and just keep going with the good habits that we had,” recalled Fillier.

“When we have the lead, I think we play more comfortable and make smarter plays.”

A day later, the Tigers found themselves in a 1-1 tie heading into the second period and once again seized momentum, outscoring the Saints 2-1 in the frame with Fillier assisting on the goals by Carly Bullock and Maggie Connors.

“We didn’t panic or anything, we knew what we did in the last game was clicking for us and we just had to take a breath and work through it,” said Fillier.

“It is huge, getting that chance to sit on the room and talk things out and see what is working. St. Lawrence is a really good team and it is tough

to predict what they are going to do every time we play them.

I feel like we caught on to what they were doing and adjusted our game a little bit.”

With Karly Lund scoring early in the third period to give Princeton a 4-2 lead and Fillier adding a tally with 7:03 left in regulation, the Tigers pulled away to 6-2 win and a series sweep, setting up a semifinal matchup at Cornell on March 9.

“They have gotten a few late goals on us before; we were a little bit hesitant, making some forced plays,” said Fillier, who was later named the ECACH Player of the Week for her performance against the Saints.

“Getting that extra goal really helped everyone calm down and stay solid to the end of the game.”

Filler has been taken aback by her sensational play in her debut campaign as she now leads the Tigers with 54 points on 20 goals ands 34 assists.

“I came in and expected to have a big learning curve and everything,” said Fillier, a 5’5 native of Georgetown, Ontario, who has played for the Canadian senior national team.

“I have just been lucky to play with really good quality players like Bully [Carly Bullock] and Maggie [Connors]; they are really supportive.”

Fillier and her classmates have felt that support from day one. “Our team has really gathered around our fresh-

men class and brought us in and taught us about the team culture,” added Fillier. “One of our big words is grateful and being grateful. We look at the history of Princeton and where we are going to bring the program.”

Princeton head coach Cara Morey is certainly grateful to have Fillier on her squad.

“Sarah is amazing with the pressure she plays under,” said Morey. “Everybody is draped all over her as she is playing.

She is being covered by two and three kids at a time and she is still finding ways to put the puck into the net or set up somebody else. She is totally unselfish too, that is her first hat trick this season. That is something to say because she is such a puck passer.”

Filler’s passing prowess helped Princeton get the upper hand in the second period on Saturday.

“They were supporting each other all over the ice, no one was on an island,” said Morey.“They always had someone to move the puck to.

We talked about a few things that we could try that we thought would work against them and it did.”

Senior star and co-captain Karlie Lund, who scored the first Princeton goal with one second left in the first period and then added the insurance tally, had a big performance in her Baker finale.

“She came to play on her last game at Baker, you could

FRESH APPROACH: Princeton University women’s hockey player Sarah Fillier chases down the puck last Friday evening as Princeton hosted St. Lawrence in the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals.

Freshman forward Fillier tallied four goals and two assists on the weekend as fourth-seeded Princeton swept the fifth-seeded Saints in the best-of-three series, winning 4-1 on Friday and 6-2 on Saturday. The Tigers, now 20-6-5 overall, play at top-seeded Cornell (22-4-6) in the ECACH semis on March 9 with the victor advancing to the title game a day later.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) tell it was a special game,” said Morey. “She was dialed in from the beginning, she was unreal.”

Junior goalie Steph Neatby was dialed in as well, making 30 saves on Friday and 24 a day later.

“I thought she was great this weekend, she made the saves that she needed to make,” said Morey of Neatby. “She kept us in the game when we needed her to, hopefully that is a big confidence builder for her.”

The squad gained confidence collectively as it broke out of its slump. “Going into playoffs on a three-game losing streak when you had only lost three games all year before that is

mentally challenging,” said Morey, whose team is now 20-6-5.

“I am so happy with the way they responded and showed that they can win because that St Lawrence team is no joke. They are so hard to play against. For us to bounce back with this, I think we have got our confidence back. We remembered that we were good.”

Morey believes that her team is poised for more good things this weekend at the ECACH final four as it faces host Cornell (22-4-6) in one semi with Colgate and Clarkson battling in the other matchup and the victors advancing to the title game on March 10.

“We had a really good push through the middle of the season; we were playing great but we also had some tough ties,” said Morey.

“I think we did start to get thinking that we were invincible so getting knocked down to earth a little bit is always good as long as it is at the right time.

Now we are on the up.”

In Fillier’s view, that adversity prove to be a blessing in disguise for the Tigers.

“It is good to go through things and gain experience and learn how we are going to get out of things,” said Fillier. “It only gets tougher from here.”

With Anderson Bringing Speed, Tenacity, PU Women’s Lacrosse Enjoys 2-0 Week Nonie Andersen always has done whatever the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team has asked of her.

“That should be the mindset freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year,” said Tiger senior defender Andersen.

When she was a freshmen, Andersen’s speed and tenacity earned her some time on the field to face-guard. It was more of the same her sophomore year when she moved into the starting lineup. Last year, she had more of a leadership role on a defense that started three freshmen – Olivia Pugh, Mary Murphy and Marge Donovan – along with Alex Argo.

“Sophomore year, we had a lot of senior defenders, so I just face-guarded,” said Andersen. “Last year, I needed to fill a role where I was doing more for the unit and communicating and doing more for the defense rather than just focusing on myself and one girl.”

T his spr ing, A ndersen and Argo are back as senior leaders and are joined by a sophomore group with a full campaign of starting experience.

“We’re really excited for it,” said A ndersen. “We don’t have to be in a lot of basic defensive sets learning. Now we can implement new defenses and put them in games. A big key to defense is trusting each other.

It makes it better after playing a year together. We know each other so well. We com-

municate well.”

Andersen’s role has evolved over her career, and she’s happy to do all she can in her final season to give Princeton a formidable defense.

“I try to do a lot of talking and helping organize,” said Andersen. “Argo is an incredible lacrosse player and she actually does a lot of that. I try to take risks and push the pace and try to make their offense uncomfortable.”

Andersen helped Princeton bounce back from a 14-9 setback to Virginia on February 23 with dominant backto-back performances. It started last Wednesday with a 21-10 win over No. 8 Penn State and continued with a 19-1 victory over Columbia on Saturday. Princeton led Penn State, 11-1, in the first half and had a 15-0 lead over Columbia at halftime.

“I think we realized we needed to practice with a sense of urgency and put ourselves in situations that were harder than our opponents,” said Andersen. “We focused on high intensity practices so come game time we were ready and prepared and ahead of it.”

Against Penn State, Andersen moved up to the draw circle and came away with a career-high nine draw controls to help win the possession battle. Andersen had 20 draw controls in her career coming into this year, and never more than eight in a whole season.

“I was just in there,” said

were even stingier in the Ivy League opener against Columbia as Princeton cruised to a 19-1 victory, holding the Lions scoreless for the entire first half.

Meanwhile, the Tiger attack picked up its play against Penn State and Columbia. Sophomore Kyla Sears had three goals and four assists against the Nittany Lions with junior Tess D’Orsi adding five goals and an assist and senior Elizabeth George contributing five goals and an assist. In the win over Columbia on Saturday, Sears tallied a goal and three assists while D’Orsi and George had four goals apiece and Julia Haney chipped in two goals and an assist.

“This team is unique,” said Andersen. “I look back at two years ago and we had [Olivia] Hompe [on attack] and Ellie [ DeGarmo] was the best goalie in the nation.

Now it’s like the whole is better than the parts. Instead of having one attacker to net seven goals, we have seven girls who are great players.

It’s the same on defense and the midfield. This year is more exciting. The team is better.”

One of the early question marks was in the midfield where the Tigers were hit the hardest by graduation. They have been improving steadily

each game as a core of freshmen have found their roles.

“They’ve looked good,” said Andersen. “They’re young. The freshmen had to get their nerves out and they’re starting to hit their stride. Kathryn Hallett, and even though Annie Cory isn’t playing, they’re helping them adapt. Izzy [Mangan] is coming in and scrapping. They’re doing so well. They’re learning as they go.”

Andersen is behind them on a steady defense that looks as strong as ever in front of sophomore goalie Sam Fish. With so much experience back, the Tigers can throw a lot of different looks at opponents.

“For the larger picture, it makes us harder to scout,” said Andersen. “You don’t know what we’re going to do.

You might think you know what we’re going to do and we can whip out a different defense.”

It took a while for Andersen to gain confidence in her defensive abilities at the next level. She came to college wide-eyed out of Glenview, Ill., where she played for a Glenbrook South High. “It was wild,” said Andersen. “I was so in over my head.”

She had gained some experience against better players the summer before her freshman year at Princeton when she played for the Ireland na-

tional team in the European Women’s Lacrosse Championship, but it was another leap to join Princeton.

“It wasn’t without work,” Anderson. “I wasn’t countsaid Andersen. “I was able ing. These girls are out to to contribute in some places, get you.

“We had some key plays; our offensive talent is starting to show. Mark Paolini had a good weekend. Corey Andonovski had a three-point game. It was good to see those guys get some points.”

Freshman goalie Jeremie Forget was very good in the victories, making 30 saves against Yale and 32 stops in the win over the Bears.

“He deserved the opportunity to play, we brought him in earlier on the year for a little bit of a stint, around 11 minutes and he did really well,” said Fogarty of Forget who was later named the ECACH Goalie of the Week.

“We had a little bit of an idea of what he could do and he did a great job against Clarkson.

He had some dehydration problem and couldn’t finish the game. He was really good this past weekend. He is calm post to post; he plays strong within the net, makes himself look big, and stops the puck.”

Looking ahead to the series at Brown, which starts on March 8, Fogarty wants his players to focus on just playing their game.

“That is what we had last year. Regardless of secondary scoring, the games are going to be tighter so it is not making mistakes and for the players to do everything possible to help the team out.”

In the win over Yale, the Tigers overcame adversity to come through in the tight contest.

“It was a good game, we played well throughout; we had a little bit of a lull in the second period due to their good push,” said Fogarty, who got two goals from senior star Max Veronneau in the win.

“We had to kill off six straight penalties called against us. That is something we hadn’t encountered all year and the guys did a great job.”

Princeton did a great job against Brown a night later, breaking the game open with three goals in a span of 2:07 late in the second period and early in the third.

“We were really confident; we were playing really well,” said Fogarty, who got two goals from Veronneau in the win with Mark Paolini, Corey Andonovski, and Mat-

As the Princeton University men’s hockey team heads into its first round ECAC Hockey best-of-three playoff series at Brown next weekend, it is looking to make history repeat itself.

Last winter, the Tigers caught fire late, going 2-11 in the final two regular season weekends and riding that surge to a stunning run in the ECACH playoffs. The seventh-seeded Tigers swept visiting Brown in the opening round and then headed north and swept Union in the quarterfinals. Princeton proceeded to top Cornell and Clarkson in the ECACH final four to win the title and make the NCAA tournament.

After struggling through and up-and-down season this winter, the Tigers are on a roll again, edging Yale 3-2 last Friday and then defeating Brown 5-1 a day later to make it 3-0-1 in their last four games. Improving to 10-16-3 overall and 8-122 ECACH, the Tigers are bringing momentum into the rematch at Brown.

“We are playing is better on the defensive side of the game and [showing] the commitment to our systems,”

“We have to bring our energy; if we have any lulls, they have players who can score,” said Fogarty, whose team lost 4-2 to Brown on February 8 in the other regular season meeting between the foes.

“I assume they will have a goalie change from last weekend, someone we haven’t seen. Regardless of the opponent, we just have to continue to play our style of hockey and be really accountable on the defensive side. We will concentrate on the things we did well. It gives us the positive of playing them on Saturday; you have the most recent game as your reference point of going into the playoffs. Even though we won 5-1, we still have to play better in some areas to have an opportunity to win.”

Fogarty is expecting his contingent of senior stars, Ryan Kuffner, Josh Teves, Alex Riche, and Veronneau, to set the tone as they look to go out with another memorable playoff run.

“They are a very proud group. They have the experience of winning and the experience of playing on the road in a lot of playoff series,” said Fogarty.

“They just have to share that experience with the freshmen group of just what to expect.”

Faltering Down the Stretch in Loss to Hopkins, PU Men’s Lax Aims to Regain Winning Ways In its final game of February, the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team took 9-7 lead over Virginia midway through the third quarter.

Unable to hold off highpowered Virginia, Princeton fell 12-11 to the Cavaliers in overtime in the February 23 contest.

Last Saturday in their first outing of March as they hosted another perennial power, Johns Hopkins, the Tigers experienced an unfortunate case of deja vu.

Princeton built a 9-7 lead over the Blue Jays late in the third period but surrendered five unanswered goals on the way to a 14-12 defeat.

A glum Princeton head coach Matt Madalon acknowledged that his squad sputtered in crunch time.

“T hey had some good shots and we had a couple of letdowns,” lamented Madalon, whose team dropped to 1-2 with the setback. “We just have to play better defensively down the stretch.”

The Tigers kept scrapping to the final horn as Beau Pederson and Alexander Vardaro scored in the final 1:15 of the contest.

“My teams w ill always fight for 60 minutes so we have just got to get better at executing,” said Madalon.

Madalon saw good execution at the offensive end from senior midfielder Charlie Durbin, who had three goals, with sophomore attackman Chris Brown chipping in two goals and an assist.

“Those guys did a very nice job,” said Madalon, who also got two goals and three assists from junior standout Michael Sowers.

“Durbin keeps getting better; Brownie keeps getting better. Hopefully there are bigger and better things on the horizon.”

While the defeat to the Blue Jays stung, Madalon sees big things ahead for his squad.

“We have got to keep working, we have got to keep getting better everyday,” said Madalon. “We are going to be excited to go back to practice with this group.”

With Princeton slated to play at No. 19 Navy (3-1) on March 5 and at No. 20 Rutgers (3-2) on March 9, the Tigers will be facing some exciting challenges this week.

Princeton coach Banghart credited Littlefield with picking up the Tigers.

“The trainer told me before the game that Bella [Alarie] was just really tired, her body is sore,” said Banghart.

“Obviously we have been riding Bella for a long time; it was really great for Carlie to see that and know that we needed her. We needed everything from her - we needed her points, we needed her composure, we needed her toughness, we needed her grit.”

In the second half, the Tigers displayed grit at the

“Bella, Carlie, Rush, and Sydney have been a huge four person group and they need to keep being that.

That fifth spot is probably going to be by committee.

The better these four play, that is going to help us.”

With Pr inceton hav ing posted eight straight wins and gone 17-2 since a 1-7 start, Banghart believes her squad is becoming more consistent.

“As we get further into the season, we are finding ourselves; we need to play better and we will,” said Banghart, whose team wraps up regular season play with games at Brown on March 8 and at Yale on March 9.

“It is going to start on the defensive end. We need to be better defensively to start the game and hopefully play with a little bit more freedom on offense.”

Littlefield, for her part, is seeing that progress. “Coach has said we have gotten better every game and I completely agree,” said Littlefield, who is averaging 13.3 points, 3.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds a game.

“There are little pieces that we get better ever y game so if we just continue to build and put all of this pieces together, we will be really hard to stop. It is fun.”

With the postseason on the horizon, Littlefield and her teammates are looking to make things fun for the squad’s trio of seniors, Rush, Jordan, and Ismail.

“They are a great example, they all are the most competitive and hardworking people that I know,” said Littlefield. “I know our whole team and all six of our freshmen really want to do it for them.”

PU Sports Roundup

moving up to No. 1 and prevailing against NJIT. The Tigers, now 13- 4, host Buffalo and Bryant on March 9.

A lec B obchin made a strong argument for being Princeton High School’s best wrestler ever.

Chloe Ayres made history.

The two representatives that PHS sent to the NJSIAA State Wrestling Championships in Atlantic City made their program proud Saturday.

Bobchin continued his annual climb up the ladder when he finished fourth at 138 pounds at the boys’ state championships in Atlantic City. The senior had gone 2-2 as a sophomore in states and took home a medal in eighth last year. It’s the highest finish for a PHS wrestler since Ian Reddy also took fourth in 1993.

“I think it’s pretty special,” Bobchin said. “It was a pretty cool moment that I got to share with my family, friends, teammates, and especially my coach.”

Seeded fourth, Bobchin took care of Delsea’s Tim Spatola, the 13th seed, with a 7-2 win last Thursday. He stopped Camden Catholic’s Anthony Croce, the No. 5 seed, in the quarterfinals Friday, 8-5. The win put h i m i nto t he s em if i na ls against Pope John’s Jo seph Aragona, the top seed who was unbeaten and the consensus top scholastic wrestler in the country at 138. Bobchin lost, 6-1, but rallied in wrestlebacks. He beat seventh-seeded Billy Talmadge of High Point, 11-3, before falling to Lyndhurst’s Dylan Weaver in the consolation final.

“This weekend was definitely a lot of mixed emotions for me,” said the Rider Universitybound Bobchin.

“I definitely felt like I could have wrestled and placed higher than I was seeded. I’m really happy with how I finished my wrestling career. I really can’t complain. I know I worked hard to get where I am and I deserve everything I got.”

Sophomore Ayres, for her part, continued to make history in a landmark year for girls’ wrestling in New Jersey.

In the state’s first Girls’ Wrestling Championships, Ayres, who won the South region, added the state title in the

105-pound weight class with a 13-2 win over High Point’s Randi Miley, the North region champion. Ayres is the first wrestling state champion ever from PHS. “I’m really excited about it,” Ayres said. “It’s not a big thing in school but hopefully it’ll become that. I was happy to get it for our coach. He works hard. I think our program is growing.”

Having a pair of medalists this year certainly could help.

Bobchin has been instrumental in bringing attention to the Tigers, and Ayres has helped to pioneer a whole new division in the state.

“It’s huge,” said PHS head coach Rashone Johnson. “Any time Princeton High gets a kid not just to states, but to medal at states, that’s huge. There’s been only two guys to medal ever. The fact that you have two Princeton High wrestlers qualify for states and not only that, but being the first time in history with there being a female state tournament, you have a qualifier not just win the region but now she’s a state champ too.”

Bobchin finishes his career with a mark of 140-20, the second most wins in Mercer County history. He trails only Robbinsville’s Garrett Bilgrav by two, though Bobchin finished higher at states this year than Bilgrav, who was seventh at 170 pounds.

“If I’m being honest, it’s great and all, but it really wasn’t the goal coming into high school,” said Bobchin.

“The goal always was place at states. But it’s a pretty cool thing to be able to look back on and see I was one of the best.”

He may be the best PHS wrestler in history. He’s up against Reddy, and they had comparable careers.

“He and Ian Reddy are twinning right now,” said Johnson. “Ian Reddy took 7/8th as a junior. They didn’t wrestle the 7/8 match.

He took fourth as a senior.

The difference is Alec won a lot more matches, but the match count was different.

You couldn’t wrestle as many matches back then. Alec is a four-time county champion and we don’t know what Ian is

because they never wrestled in counties. It’ll make for a good argument at our alumni barbecue.”

One thing that can’t be disputed is how much Bobchin impacted the program while developing into a two-time state medalist.

“He’ll definitely be missed and it’s great that he helped put Princeton wrestling to the next level and on the map again, and he wrestled well at states and every tournament he went to,” said Johnson.

“At Beast of the East, he was able to bring Princeton wrestling there and be on that national stage and [Daniel] Monahan [another PHS senior] was right there with him. For the underclassmen to live that and go through that and see his work ethic and the stuff he did to get there, it’s good. It makes the program better.

Each year Bobchin took the experience he gained from the previous season and built upon it and it paid off this year with his highest finish yet at states.

“Last year’s trip definitely helped,” said Bobchin. “I learned a really valuable lesson last year and that was not to settle. Last year I took eighth place and I looked up at everyone else on the podium and I felt guilty. I wanted more out of it. It pushed to train harder.”

Bobchin put more time and effort into his preparation for this season than any before.

He worked out twice a day, woke up early before school to work out, went to the gym whenever possible, went on hard four-mile training runs, all with the idea that he was working toward a spot on the state podium. That background of training laid a foundation for when he returned to Atlantic City.

“He’s always been a solid w restler,” said Johnson.

“It’s a matter of you believing in yourself and you knowing that you really are that good. It’s almost coming to self-actualization.

You reali ze you can do those things. Him qualifying for states as a sophomore, and actually winning matches in that arena, it

HISTORIC FINISH: Princeton High wrestler Alec Bobchin, top, dominates a foe on his way to winning the Region 5 title at 138 pounds on February 23. Last weekend, senior star Bobchin placed fourth at 138 in the NJSIAA State Wrestling Championships at Atlantic City. PHS sophomore Chloe Ayres joined Bobchin in Atlantic City and made history, winning the title at 105 pounds in the first-ever girls’ N.J. state wrestling tourney.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) goes back to that. If you’ve never been to that arena as a wrestler, you’ll never really understand the amount of pressure and how tough it is to actually compete in that room. I was talking with coaches down there and you’d be amazed how many people went 0-2 in that gym and went on to become college All-Americans and national champs.”

Displaying that self-belief and drawing on that experience, Bobchin wasn’t fazed when he was pitted against the nation’s top wrestler in the semifinals.

“Going into that match, I told myself I’m too good to wrestle him scared,” Bobchin said. “I need to wrestle to win, not to not lose. I may not have gotten the results I wanted, but I definitely left that match knowing I wrestled as hard as I could.”

That experience really kicked in after the loss, helping Bobchin to stay composed and fight back the next day to assure he’d finish higher than a year ago.

“After I lost the semifinal match, I knew I needed to prove to myself that I’m too good to not place this year, I’m too good to not place as high as I can this year,” said Bobchin.

“And after what happened last year, I can’t settle and I can’t slide all the way down to sixth from the semis, I need to wrestle back for third and give

it everything I had. I only had two more matches after that and I needed to wrestle both of them as hard as I could.”

His four th-place finish ended his high school career, but he still has a lot of wrestling ahead of him as Bobchin is excited about continuing his career close to home at Rider.

“I’m definitely looking forward to being a part of the family over at Rider,” said Bobchin. “(Head coach John) Hangey and Nic (Bedelyon) have been family to me for years. I know if I train as hard as I can, I believe in them to get me to where I want to be and reach the goals I want to achieve.”

Bobchin will leave a high standard behind for PHS as he is an example of how far dedication can take a wrestler.

“Alec also had the ‘it’ factor too,” said Johnson. “When he walked into the room, at tournaments or weigh-ins, you know he’s there. He has a presence about him. He helped bring that swagger to Princeton wrestling. No matter who we wrestled in dual meets, we always knew we had this guy. Even going into Jackson in the sectionals, we know they’re top seed and fantastic, but we’ve got this guy who can beat your good guy. I can say the same for the most part with Monahan. No matter who we wrestled, I’ve got two good guys who are going to beat your two guys.”

In addition, Bobchin valued his time with the team. He will take with him fond memories of his four-year career that finished with his place in history firmly established.

“It’s not even the wrestling part,” Bobchin said. “It’s the friends and the family and the bonds I’ve made with everybody from my teammates to my coaches.”

Ayres is among those teammates and she still has two years of high school, and potentially two more state titles.

“Obviously that’s my next goal,” said Ayres, who is preparing for the freestyle World Team Trials next.

“That’s what I’m working for.

The finals match, it was an amazing experience to get my hand raised at the end.

It’s what I’m working for next year and hopefully the year after. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Having this year’s experience will help. She knows better what to expect when she travels to Atlantic City, although first trip was a big success.

It was very overwhelming,” said Ayres. “My first match, it was a little like a deer in headlights. It’s a lot to take in. The crowd was really into it, even the girls matches. It’s a lot to take it. Once I got in the later periods of my matches, I was able to let go. It was intimidating at first. It took a little to get used to.”

PHS Wrestling Star Bobchin Takes 4th at States While Ayres Wins Title in 1st Girls’ Tournament

As Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline blared in the gym last Wednesday evening, members of the Princeton High girls’ basketball team belted out the lyrics, dancing and hopping in unison.

The song’s refrain “good t i m e s n e ver s e e m e d s o good” perfectly described the emotions the PHS players were feeling as they celebrated after defeating visiting Trenton High 66-51 in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinals.

The fourth-seeded Tigers trailed fifth-seeded Trenton 34-31 at halftime but came out roaring in the third quarter, outscoring the Tornadoes 23-10 in the period and never looked back on the way to the sweet win.

“I am really happy that we finished that way, that was probably the best all around team effort we have ever put forth,” said a smiling PHS senior star forward Catherine Dyevich.

“It is the greatest number of points we have ever scored as a team. Everyone contributed so much, we played so well together. We were so selfless with the ball.”

Having been defeated 5335 by Trenton in late January, Dyevich and her teammates were primed for their rematch with the Tornadoes.

“We were just trying to shut them down on defense more because last time we let their leading scorers score over 20 points,” said Dyevich.

“The last time we struggled on offense too. In the second quarter we didn’t score, we were really frazzled. We didn’t set up an offense in that game, we were kind of all over the place. This time we stayed composed, we believed in ourselves. Even when they were up at the half, it hurt a little bit because we were winning most of the first half. We knew were so ca-

pable of it. We went out in the second half and we were ready to win.”

While PHS went on to lose 53-31 to top-seeded Middletown South in the sectional semis on Friday, that didn’t diminish what the Tigers accomplished this winter as they posted an 18-8 record.

“Coach [Dave] Kosa just told us that it most likely hasn’t been done since the 80s,” said Dyevich.

“Last year was the first stepping stone, winning the first round of states was a huge deal. This year we did that on Monday [with a 4934 win over 13th-seeded Long Branch] and I think the fourth seed is the highest we have ever been and ranked. This is so incredible, so special.”

Dyevich is leaving with incredible memories of her home finale as she scored 14 points in the first quarter and ended up with a career-high 25 points and a career-best 17 rebounds.

“I didn’t think that has ever happened for me ; I was obviously thrilled,” said Dyevich, reflecting on her first quarter outburst.

“In the second quarter I didn’t score so I was a little down. I was a little nervous in the second half. I just believed in myself and my coaches were so supportive. It is a career high too, so I am really happy that I ended my high school career at home this way.”

PHS head coach Dave Kosa believed in his team, notwithstanding its previous defeat to the Tornadoes.

“I was looking forward to the matchup; I knew they beat us by 18 but it wasn’t really an 18-point game,” said Kosa, noting that senior star Erin Devine was sidelined for the first meeting of the rivals due to injury.

“We just needed to get into our offense; we wanted to handle their pressure because I know that they

were going to come 94 feet for the entire game. In the first game they got us tired because we weren’t as deep. Having Erin back really helped because she can handle the ball as far as breaking their press. In the second half, we just relied upon our defense. They hit a couple but I was OK with that because in the last quarter when your legs get tired, they missed some 3s which really helped us. Then we just really passed the ball well.”

Kosa credited D yev ich with playing really well in the win last Wednesday.

“Catherine is just a great, steady player for us; she has worked very hard as far as her left hand and her right hand,” said Kosa, who also got 18 points from Devine w it h ju nior point g uard Shaylah Marciano chipping in 11.

“When we penetrate, she looks to sneak out a little bit. We have been working on that, especially with Erin and her, just looking for her 10 footer. She is just really good in hitting that midrange shot. She has long arms and she that to her advantage, on rebounding.”

The team’s senior group helped the program make steady progress over the last three years. “It is incredible to see them come together and take this program to a level which it has probably never been taken before as far as advancing to this spot,” said Kosa, whose seniors included the Intartaglia twins, Anna and Olivia, and Ella Kotsen along with Dyevich and Devine.

“They trust in one another. The going gets tough and today they bonded together. They didn’t get rattled or anything like that.

Everybody just has such a trust and a belief in one another as far as what we are trying to do; it is great to see that from a high school team. That is what we were

remarking on in the locker room, it is just a lot of hard work and the girls have been committed. We made some tremendous strides last year and I said this is the season where we can really make our mark.”

Dyevich, for her part, is proud to see that long-term

commitment pay dividends.

“It is re ally me an ing ful because as seniors we have been playing together and working so hard since elementar y school,” said Dyevich, who is headed to Cornell where she will compete for its women’s rowing program.

“It just means so much that finally our hard work is paying off and it is really showing. In sophomore year, we were a little nervous and we were 6-20. Last year, we were on the up and up and this year it has been the best.”

Senior Dyevich Enjoys Special Home Finale As PHS Girls’ Hoops Makes Sectional Semis

SENIOR SUCCESS: Princeton High girls’ basketball player Catherine Dyevich puts up a shot in a game earlier this season.

48 BOGART COURT | PRINCETON Where superb design and extraordinary quality of life intersect. 48 Bogart Court is the embodiment of contemporary architecture, predominated by clean lines, high ceilings, large windows and skylights, and open concept spaces. Rich hardwood floors throughout the main living areas provide the perfect contrast to crisp, white walls punctuated by recessed lighting. The newly renovated bespoke Bulthaup kitchen is a study in both minimalism and functionality, eschewing unnecessary adornments while exuding luxury, with chef-caliber stainless steel appliances, a large center island with cooktop and a breakfast bar overlooking the great room. The home offers two master suites (one on the first floor, one on the second floor), 4.96 acres of land with gated access to the surrounding 112-acre Woodfield Preservation, a three-car garage with auto lift for a fourth car, and more!
