Witherspoon Designation Could be Decided On Thursday Night At a special meeting of Princeton Council this Thursday evening, March 10, the future of the town’s Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood may very well be decided. Judging from comments made by Council members at recent meetings on the issue, the governing body is likely to approve a proposed ordinance to make the area a historic district. It is a move that would please the many residents who want to honor the historical significance of the neighborhood and keep developers from tearing down existing buildings to put up new ones they feel would not fit in with the existing streetscapes. But for those who have invested in some of those properties, the issue is more complicated. Carlo Momo and Leslie M. Dowling bought a house at 12 Green Street in 2014 intending to replace the existing building, which was in disrepair, while saving its attractive front porch. But the porch proved to be too far gone, so the couple gave it’s salvageable elements to architect Kevin Wilkes, who is restoring the historic Paul Robeson house nearby, for possible use in that project. Mr. Momo, who co-owns several restaurants in town; and his wife Ms. Dowling, an architect with Dowling Studios, were unaware of the movement to make the neighborhood a historic district when they bought the house. The contemporary home she designed, which is nearing completion, might not have been possible to build if the designation had been in place. “We had no idea when we started this process that it was a possibility,” said Ms. Dowling. “We probably wouldn’t have done it.”

DOT Puts Historic Bridge Back in Business

The historic stone masonry arch bridge over Stony Brook south of town on Route 206 re-opened Sunday evening after almost two weeks of emergency repair work by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT). The truck detour will remain in place until the bridge is fully restored. DOT officials, engineers and Historic Preservation Commission members are already moving ahead with plans for permanent reconstruction of the 1792 bridge, with an emphasis on strength, safety, durability, and a sensitivity to history. Princeton Municipal Engineer Bob Kiser commended the DOT for their work under pressure. “The DOT worked very, very quickly in putting the bridge back into operation,” he said. “They worked nights and weekends. I applaud the DOT in getting the bridge back in operation as quickly as they did.” Mr. Kiser also stated that the DOT “have been sensitive to the historic nature of the bridge.” A parapet on the southbound side of the bridge collapsed on Monday, February 22 on 206 near the entrance to the Hun School. The DOT erected a precast construction barrier on both sides of the bridge to protect the damaged parapet.

While inspecting the parapet and bridge, NJDOT engineers discovered cracks and voids that had developed within the supporting stone arches. They immediately closed the bridge. Crews also discovered significant scour (sediment, such as sand and rocks from around bridge abutments or piers, potentially compromising the integrity of the structure) at the footing of the bridge. The DOT installed a portable dam around the footing of the bridge and made drainage improvements to reduce

the impact of potential flooding or water damage due to heavy rains. Finally the bridge was repaved to ensure a safe driving surface. Temporary overnight lane closures during off-peak hours may be necessary for the next few weeks. NJDOT will provide advisories before any traffic pattern changes. The bridge now has a posted weight limit of 20 tons. In addition to the historic arch bridge reconstruction, DOT officials have also

The Institute for Advanced Study continues to move forward with its 15-unit faculty housing project on seven acres of land adjacent to Princeton Battlefield, despite renewed calls to halt construction — this time from “The Save Princeton Coalition,” a newly-created group of nine organizations. The Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS), along with the Washington D.C.-based Civil War Trust (CWT), which has offered to purchase the disputed property for $4.5

million, has opposed the project from its inception, and last week they joined with seven other groups in forming a coalition of historic preservation and conservation groups and sending a letter to the Institute’s Board of Trustees, urging that IAS “cease its development plans and pursue alternate building locations for the faculty housing project.” The Institute responded to the request last Friday in a statement claiming that the

The Local Angle Enters Into the Picture In Library’s History of Science Series

It was a chat with her uncle, who happened to have been her middle school science teacher in upstate New York, that gave Princeton Public Library’s Humanities Programming Coordinator Hannah Schmidl the idea for a series of events focused on the history of science. “We were talking a few months ago,” Ms. Schmidl recalled, “and he told me

he had been reading books about the history of science. The books were about the whole context of the scientists and their lives rather than just focusing on specific discoveries. That got me thinking.”

TOPICS Of the Town B efore long, and w it h the help of some Princeton University professors, Ms. Schmidl had put together a program that touches on several topics. The History of Science series began last week and continues through April 24. High on the list of attractions was theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson,

who took part in a conversation this past Tuesday with Institute of Advanced Study faculty member Nima Arkani-Hamed. Upcoming programs include screenings, discussions, lectures, and readings, on subjects ranging from Albert Einstein to the locally launched Raceabout, considered to be America’s first sports car. The local angle enters frequently into the picture. “What’s nice about the general package of programs is that they are locally focused, for the most part,” Ms. Schmidl said. “Thomas L evens on [ who lec t ure s Thursday, March 10 on his book The Brief Life and Exciting Times of Vulcan — The Planet That Wasn’t There] is from MIT, but he talks about Einstein.

local in that sense.” The Histor y of Science ser ies is presented w it h support from the National E ndow ment for t he Hu manities. Funding from an NEH challenge grant goes toward programs and collections, and Ms. Schmidl’s job is to decide how to use those funds. Mr. L evenson’s lect ure a nd b o ok- s ig n i ng is fo cused on how Einstein’s general theory of relativity “banished from reality” the idea of the planet Vulcan, which had first appeared in the solar system in 1859. Next, on March 18, is the f ilm Code Girl, followed by a discussion. The 2015 documentar y centers on teams of high school girls around the world who develop apps to solve problems in their communities. The discussion, monitored by Montgomer y Upper Middle School teacher Violet Markmann, will include panelists from Code for Princeton, the Techsters of Montgomery Upper Middle School, and Stuart Country Day School. Laurie Wallmark, author of the children’s book Ada

Byron Lovelace and the T hinking Ma chine, w i l l read on March 20 from the illustrated biography of the woman who, more than 100 years before the invention of the electronic computer, became the world’s first c o m p u t e r p r o g r a m m e r. There will be craft activities, geared toward grades 1-5, following the reading. A book discussion of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn, led by Princeton professor Angela Creager, is next on March 23. Originally published in 1962, the book is still widely read by specialists and non-specialists. O n M a r c h 30, au t h or Scott McVay discusses and signs copies of Surprise Encounters with Artists and Scientists, Whales, and Other Living Things. For this presentation, he will focus on his encounters with scientists devoted to transformative change and share stories about these f a m o u s “ p a t h f i n d e r s .” Kathryn Maxson discusses the book Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA by Brenda Maddox on April 13.

final program April 24 features historian and author Clifford Zink, whose lecture is titled “Mercer Magic and the Story of America’s First Sports Car.” The wealthy industrialist families Roebling and Kuser of Trenton joined forces to form the Mercer Automobile Company and launched what is considered to be the country’s first sports car. Drivers of the car won numerous races culminating in the American Grand Prize in 1914. “The fact that we’re here in Princeton, where there is an amazing scientific community, was so helpful in planning this series,” said Ms. Schmidl. “The professors were great, suggesting what should be included and who should lead book discussions. The two book talks will be a nice way to participate for people who can’t come to the bigger lectures. Angela Creager was really helpful to me. I reached out to her in the beginning stages of planning. We talked about how to present the histor y of science to the public in a way that was interesting.” Planning the series has s p a r k e d M s . S c h m i d l ’s cur iosit y about the sub ject in a way she didn’t expect. “I can’t say science was a niche area of interest for me, but once I started looking into this, I got excited that I get to go to these events,” she said. “I’m hoping that’s the case when people see the series. Even if it’s not something they’re not particularly interested in, I hope they’ll be surprised.” —Anne Levin

Designation continued from page one

But the couple say they are in favor of the historic designation — with some reservations. “The cultural designation of the neighborhood is really important. But I’m not sure it will achieve what people want,” Mr. Momo said. “To honor the cultural heritage, there should be more of a master plan instead of a concentration on this small area. I just think it could be addressed in a more interesting way.” T he house t he couple bought on Green Street had been abandoned for two decades when they took it over. “It was rotted through to t he fou ndat ion,” Ms. Dowling said. “We had every intention of preserving the front. And if it had had great bones, we wouldn’t have knocked it down.” Reaction to the 2,200-square-foot contemporary house has been positive from residents who live nearby. “We haven’t heard anything negative,” said Mr. Momo. “We have tried to be sensitive to what was there. We like the neighbors. They have been overwhelmingly friendly and welcoming.” The Witherspoon-Jackson community was developed as a result of segregation and discrimination, and has historically served as home to Princeton’s African-American residents, as well as Italian, Irish, and Hispanic families. Princeton’s Historic Preservation Commission has recommended the designation of the neighborhood, based largely on a study done by Wise Preservation consultants that concluded

it is worthy of being made a historic district. Such a designation comes with restrictions about renovations, improvements, and teardowns. While the rules would not be as strict as in some other districts, they could still present challenges to property owners who want to make changes, particularly to buildings that are in deteriorating condition. “I think it has been an impressive discussion learning about the rich history of the Witherspoon- Jackson neighborhood,” said Council President Lance Liverman, in an email on Tuesday. “I just want to make sure that all residents and homeowners fully understand what the historical district ordinance will mean to them. I am supportive of what the homeowners would like to do.” Other members of Council expressed support for the designation at a meeting last month. Councilman Patrick Simon was one of them, but echoed some architects and homeowners who expressed concerns about design guidelines. Architect Marina Rubina, who has built houses in the neighborhood and lives

there, cites zoning changes as one positive outcome of the possible historic designation. “During the Council meeting I was glad to learn that following the historic preser vation discussion, the Council is considering changing zoning regulations to reflect the types of houses and smaller lots that currently exist in our neighborhood and make it so dense and vibrant,” she wrote in an email. “I really hope there will be an educational and public component to historic preservation.” Some feel that without some changes to the proposed ordinance’s design guidelines and regulations, making Witherspoon-Jackson a historic district could end up hurting rather than helping the neighborhood. “If no one is able to improve to their own taste, the neighborhood could just become stagnant,” said Ms. Dowling. “Many of the landlords don’t even live in the community, and I’m afraid the designation as it is will promote more of that. There are different representations of styles that have architectural merit, but the majority is rental property that has fallen into disrepair.” —Anne Levin

but the problem doesn’t begin with heroin. It begins with tobacco use, marijuana use, underage drinking, and drugs actually prescribed by a doctor. “We need to talk about this,” Mr. De Leon stated. “Talk to your kids about drugs over dinner. It’s a conversation you have to have every week. Get informed. You need to know. The more you know the better off you are.” Mr. De Leon, who spent 12 years in state prison and two years in a halfway house, knew that he was “part of the problem,” but he decided, “when I got out of prison, I’m going to be a big part of the solution.” He described counseling 26 young drug users in the Cherry Hill area four years ago, when, in a span of ten days “four of those kids died—all middle or upper middle class, two-parent households, with every protective factor you can have.” Interviewing in Camden for his documentary Kids are Dying, Mr. De Leon talked to youths in the street and found they were all from somewhere else, mostly suburban and rural New Jersey. Of the 137 young people he interviewed over a ten-month period, 121 used prescription opiates before they got hooked on heroin. “Every single one of them smoked cigarettes. Every single one of them drank alcohol underage, and every single one of them smoked weed.” “We have to end t h is scourge,” he said. “We have to end this epidemic. It’s possible. If I can recover from the heroin I was shooting, anybody can recover.” In the panel discussion, Mr. Onofri reinforced Mr. DeLeon’s warning, pointing out that there are 669,000 heroin users in the U.S., an increase of 79 percent since 2007, and 81 percent of those users started with prescription drugs. Of the approximately 120 opioid deaths per day in the U.S. about 60 are from heroin, according to Mr. Onofri. Exacerbating the epidemic in Mercer County are the facts that heroin is cheap— only $3 a deck (the size of a Splenda packet), purity levels in New Jersey are the highest in the nation, and Mercer County is located between major sources of heroin from Perth Amboy, Newark and New York City to the north and Camden and Philadelphia to t he south. Emphasizing that heroin is indeed “here,” Mr. Maurer noted the PPD training and use of Narcan to reverse overdoses and described a dramatic “reversal” that took place last April on Nassau Street. A young woman, who was brought downstairs from an apartment above Starbucks and placed on a bench on the sidewalk, “became unconscious—pretty much stopped breathing,” Mr. Maurer stated. The police gave her Narcan and waited for the rescue squad to arrive. Her eyes rolled back in her head, according to Mr. Maurer. Then they gave her a second dose of Narcan, before her eyes finally began to flutter and she regained consciousness and was taken to the hospital.

Princeton Professor Pleads Guilty

Princeton University Professor Imani Perry pleaded guilty in municipal court Tu e s d a y, M a r c h 8 , t o speeding and driving while exceeding her out-of-state driving privileges. On February 6, Ms. Perry was pulled over for driving 67 miles per hour in a 45 mile-per-hour zone on Mercer Road, and was arrested because of an outstanding warrant. Ms. Perry, who is a faculty member in the University’s African American Studies Department, had two unpaid parking tickets in Princeton, and could not produce her car registration during the traffic stop. Her complaints on social media of unfair treatment, in which she claimed her African American race was a factor, drew national attention. The Mercer County prosecutor’s office investigated and

concluded that the officers in charge were to be commended for their handling of the situation. Ms. Perry was required to pay $428 in fines.

Police Blotter On March 1 at 3:15 p.m., a victim reported being at an establishment on the 100 block of Nassau Street when he gave the suspect his cell phone during their conversation and the suspect left with the phone. The victim had met the suspect a few years ago. The phone is valued at $260 and the Detective Bureau is investigating. On March 2 at 3:58 p.m., a 58-year-old male from Hamilton was charged with DWI, subsequent to a motor vehicle crash investigation on the

Great Road. In addition he had active warrants from Hamilton, Wall, and Woodbridge Township Municipal Courts in the total amount of $1,100. On March 6, at 11:50 a.m., a victim reported that sometime between March 4 and 6, someone knocked the side view mirror off his vehicle and bent the antenna while it was parked on the first block of Terhune Road. On March 7, at 2:30 p.m., a victim reported that someone entered his unlocked vehicle while it was parked in a parking lot in the 300 block of North Harrison Street and took his wallet. On March 7, at 7:30 p.m., two juveniles were taken into custody after they damaged a vehicle by throwing an object at it while it was stopped in traffic on Witherspoon Street. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

“If it takes a village to raise a child, it’s going to take a village to save them,” Michael De Leon, founder of Steered Straight, former drug addict and prison inmate, told the audience of about 120 in the Princeton High School Auditorium last Wednesday night. “Don’t believe it’s not your kid,” said Mr. De Leon. “Don’t believe it’s not your family. Don’t believe it’s not in your backyard—because it is.” If it was an epidemic in the 1970s, heroin use is a pandemic now, according to Mr. De Leon, also founder of Project Pride, an organization that sends prison inmates into middle schools and high schools to talk with students about choices and consequences of drug use. Sponsored by the Princeton Health Department, Corner House, the Princ-

“Everybody has to realize,” he said, “that it can happen here, that it has happened here.” As Mr. DeBlasio pointed out in his introduct ion, “heroin is the real equalizer in every community. I’ve seen it cross all boundaries of society. It not only hurts families. It destroys them.” The panelists and sponsors of the forum all reaffirmed that there are many sources of help. “Effective treatment is available for ever y level of care,” Mr. Smith declared. “Medications to combat heroin are getting more useful. Care can be provided in every situation.” Ms. Moran stated that the prosecutor’s office also sees rehabilitation as the main goal and that Corner House is a key partner in that effort. “We’re all about rehabilitation,” she said, “trying to fix the problem.” The Overdose Prevention Act in New Jersey provides criminal immunity for the caller reporting and others helping a heroin user and for the people in need. In the case of users, the person who has overdosed is usually treated by medical authorities rather than police. —Donald Gilpin

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, mARCh 9, 2016 • 8

ECONOMIC PEP TALK: New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno spoke to a packed house at The Nassau Club of Princeton last Wednesday. “Go, pitch, fight” is her motto to promote economic development in New Jersey. She convinced Subaru to build their new headquarters in Camden and has visions of the city becoming the next Jersey City. In addition to job growth, she discussed property tax caps, estate taxes, and pension reform. The Lt. Governor is shown here with Kevin Tylus, President and CEO of Royal Bank America, who hosted the event. As online banking popularity surges, Mr. Tylus believes that the future is moving away from full service banks and to offices like the loan center he opened in Princeton at 20 Nassau Street, Suite100A.

Battlefield Skirmishes continued from page one

Coalition letter “materially misstates facts” and wrongly “implies that the Institute is acting irresponsibly, paying no heed to preservationist concerns.” The Institute cited its longterm contributions to and support for the Battlefield Park, describing the letter from the project’s opponents as “clearly part of a PR campaign by the Civil War Trust and the Princeton Battlefield Society to repeat misstatements that have been unequivocally rejected by the courts.”

Including the New Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Parks Conservation Association, the National Coalition for Histor y, the Cultural L a n d s c a p e Fo u n d a t i o n , the American Association for State and Local History and the American Revolution Institute of the Society of Cincinnati, along with the PBS and CWT, the coalition of conservation and historic preservation groups accused the Institute of “proceeding with plans to destroy one of the most significant historic sites in the nation … where George Washington

launched a daring counterattack that secured victory at Princeton and saved an American Revolution that appeared lost less than two weeks before.” The IAS statement disputed the Coalition’s assertion regarding the location of the central events of the Battle of Princeton, and noted the Institute’s accommodation to the concerns of historians and preservationists. The Institute argued that it had incorporated extensive changes to the faculty housing plans in accordance with public input, moved the project further away from the Park, adjusted the profiles

and materials of the housing units and enhanced the landscaped screen between the site and the Park. Beyond the seven acre housing site, the Institute claimed, “we will perpetually preserve the remaining 14 acres adjacent to the Park, at no cost to the public.” Additionally, the Institute stated that, more than 40 years ago, it “sold 32 acres of its own land to the State of New Jersey, enlarging the Park by 60 percent.” The Coalition’s appeal to cease construction was accompanied by a renewed offer from the Civil War Trust to buy the disputed tract of land and a request to meet with Institute Trustees. Neither the Coalition letter to IAS nor their follow-up press release mentioned the Battlefield Society’s January 7 letter claiming wetlands on the site and giving 60day notice of intent to sue the IAS under the federal Clean Water Act. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), after several investigations, stated that there were no wetlands on the site and that the Institute does not require permits from the DEP. —Donald Gilpin

Question of the Week:

“What are your thoughts about Chris Christie’s endorsement of Donald Trump and what does it mean for the governor’s future?”

“Since he has a track record as a negative person and people don’t really like him because he’s aggressive in a very demeaning way, I think that endorsing Trump will prove to be part of his downfall because Trump is one of the people everyone hates or should hate.” —Joshua Kring, Montgomery

Howell Farm History Farm Offers Workhorse Rides

On Saturday, March 12, Howell Living History Farm’s big workhorses will be drafted for pony ride duty. R iders w ill not sit on saddles or ride bareback, but w ill sit atop a fully harnessed, three-quarterton workhorse. The horses won’t mind, according to the farmers, since giving rides is easier than pulling the plows and wagons used to run the 130 -acre “living-histor y” farm. The program is intended to give children a taste of early 20th- centur y far m life. In order to get a ride, children must first do their farm chores. The list includes helping farmers sweep out horse stalls, clean harnesses, fill water troughs, and make repairs to pasture fences. The rides will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Riders must be between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Howell Farm is owned by Mercer County and located at 70 Woodens Lane, just off Route 29, in Hopewell Township. Admission is free. Visit www.howellfarm.org or www.mercercountyparks.org for more information.

“I don’t think Chris Christie has a future in public service after this endorsement. I wish I’d been a fly on the wall to have heard what back-door deal was made that led to his endorsement. I don’t have any concept at all why any thinking person would attach themselves to Donald Trump, who himself has no future in public service.” —David Gideon, Rhinebeck, N.Y.

“It’s horrific, his endorsement, and he should be ashamed of himself, and I hope his career tanks.” —Priscilla Gideon, Rhinebeck, N.Y.

Princeton Should Carefully Examine Different Contractual Arrangements for Its Solar Arrays

To the Editor: I was delighted to hear that Princeton is considering installation of a PV (photovoltaic) array on the municipal garage near the library [“Bridge Closing, Solar Array Among Council Topics,” Town Topics, March 2, page one], and thought that my recent experience putting an array on my own roof might be helpful. Much to my surprise (why should I be surprised?) I discovered that Wall Street has found a way to turn my roof into their gold mine. Had I accepted their proposal I would be able to buy somewhat cheaper renewable electricity while Wall Street collected the 30 percent federal tax rebate and New Jersey state incentives (Solar Renewable Energy Credits, or SRECs) which currently are worth about 29 cents/kWh for electricity generated by the array. (For comparison, the PSE&G generation plus distribution charge is currently about 17cents/kWh.) The key to the Wall Street financial engineering approach is that these extremely generous incentives are collected by the owner of the array, not the customer, and are never mentioned in the contract proposal. I discovered what might be termed “a walk down the garden path” when I tried to obtain a quote for my own solar array, saying that I was interested in ownership, not leasing or any other arrangement. After much searching, one of the large national solar installers sent me a very professional, detailed proposal, but for a 20-year power purchase agreement, not ownership. In this case the homeowner pays nothing and the installer owns and maintains the array and sells the homeowner electricity at a rate below that of the local utility but with an escalation clause (2.9 percent per year in my case). Tax credits and SRECs were never mentioned. I did some rapid calculations of my own based on the Installer’s power production projections and a reasonable array cost and found that over the lifetime of the agreement I was over $50,000 better off owning the array. This is somewhat astonishing as the array is relatively modest: 21 panels, 340 square foot, 5.67 kW ($15,050 installed cost after the Federal income tax credit). I am sure the array on the garage roof would be many times larger and thus much more profitable. Princeton should carefully examine different contractual arrangements (one possibility: a short term, 5 year, leasepurchase agreement) for its solar arrays with the objective of capturing as much of the incentive payments as possible. An array with excellent solar exposure, such as on the top of a parking garage, may have a payback period for the installed cost of less than four years, after which SREC sales and avoided power savings would provide a steady and substantial income stream. All such income should be dedicated to funding additional energy efficiency and fossil fuel reduction projects such as electric and hybrid vehicle purchases, EV charger deployment, and geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling municipal buildings and schools. For homeowners, the “Go Solar for $0 Down” plans and derivatives, including unsecured “Solar Loans,” should be avoided. If one cannot afford the installed array cost with available funds, one might take out a home equity loan. Otherwise, save your money for a few years until you can pay for the array yourself.

McCaffrey’s Admirer Thinks Mercer County Or State Should Regulate Plastic Bag Use

To the Editor: My parents moved to Princeton in 1992 when I was three years old, shortly after McCaffrey’s Supermarket opened its doors in the Princeton Shopping Center. Shopping at McCaffrey’s quickly became an almost everyday ritual for us, for everything from Jersey Fresh produce to delicious baked goods. When I return home to visit my folks and I shop at McCaffrey’s, I often recognize many of the same faces from my youth who have made successful careers for themselves at our neighborhood market. The store is a welcoming place and always has everything I need, including the best donuts I have ever tasted. The employees are always helpful and knowledgeable. I cannot tell you how many times while I am shopping at the chain grocery store near my home in Washington, D.C., that I think to myself, “Gee, I wish I was at McCaffrey’s right now.” How lucky the Princeton community is to have such a wonderful grocery store! Many towns could only dream of having a supermarket like McCaffrey’s. And yet, I happened upon Diane Landis’s letter in this paper last week [Mailbox, March 2] scolding the store for not adhering to certain standards of plastic bag distribution. As someone who holds a Bachelor’s degree in environmental studies and lives in a city that charges 5 cents per plastic bag at all retail outlets, I am fully aware of the environmental consequences of improper plastic bag use and disposal, as well as the many benefits of well-crafted regulations to curb plastic bag consumption. I am also fully capable of telling a cashier, “Thank you, but I won’t be needing a bag today.” It is my opinion that Mercer County, or preferably the state of New Jersey, should be the jurisdiction to set regulations on plastic bag use. Only then can there be fair-

Battlefield Society’s “Demonization” of Institute Impedes What Should Have Been a Better Outcome

To the Editor: The Battlefield Society’s president recently wrote that supporters of the IAS (Institute for Advanced Study) have “subscribed to the Big Lie theory” and that “IAS is intent on destroying the heart of one of the most important sites in American history.” [Mailbox, March 2]. How I wish the Battlefield people would redirect their laudable intents but lamentable language. Such demonization has too long impeded what should by now have been a better outcome for the hallowed ground where Washington saved the American Revolution. But how I also wish that the IAS would break out of its hermetically sealed Eurocentric bubble. For our neighborhood and our nation, IAS, with its global connections and gigantic funding sources, should be doing much more to help preserve the uniquely significant American heritage land under and around its control. And how I wish the State of New Jersey would properly care for our public lands. The decrepit state of Battlefield Park under its stewardship, with its crumbling monuments and collapsing Clarke House, is a national disgrace. But mostly, how I wish our community leaders would lead us out of this sorry stalemate. The prestigious and powerful Civil War Trust (CWT) now wants to help, but IAS is refusing to meet. Meanwhile, PBS (Princeton Battlefield Society) is filing a Federal lawsuit of uncertain prospects against IAS. Now seems a good time for a constructive compromise. OK, IAS has the right to build its houses. Let’s help it build them even more discretely. In return, get IAS to sell to CWT the rest of Maxwell Field, which can then help fund a suitable Battlefield visitors center near Clarke House. With CWT’s help, get Crossroads of the Revolution to forge public-private partnerships to restore the Clarke House, refurbish the Colonnade, and repair the monuments. Then, get the U.S. Park Service and the Historical Society of Princeton to place interpretative markers and pathways throughout the whole area. Get the municipality and Friends of Open Space to create another local trail, a National Heritage History Trail, from the Quaker Meeting through the Battlefield, along Olden Avenue and Battle Road, through the Frog Hollow area around the Grad College, up to Nassau Hall. That trail might include other epic historical sites, like the IAS nursery school in which John von Neumann pioneered the ENIAC computer and the grand ground floor chamber in the Grad College tower that memorializes Grover Cleveland. We need some honest brokerage to break this impasse. I call for some Princeton “tribal elders” interested in both promoting our local community and preserving our nation’s history to step forward. I’m thinking of the likes of Kristen Appelget (University Community Relations), Mark Freda (Spirit of Princeton), Chad Goerner (Friend of IAS executive committee member), Scott Sipprelle (Historical Society of Princeton president), and Patrick Simon (Council liaison to the Princeton Historical Preservation Commission). Let’s ask such leaders to get the stalemated parties together for a better solution for the Battlefield and IAS, our community, and America’s posterity. TOM PyLE Balsam Lane

Urging Princeton Council to Pass HD Ordinance with HPC Boundaries Intact

To the Editor: Princeton Council will soon introduce an ordinance that, upon passage, will establish the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood as Princeton’s 20th Historic District (HD). I commend Council members Heather Howard, Jenny Crumiller, and Bernie Miller for their enthusiastic support of this measure, which passed unanimously. The “work session” unfolded before a full house, was laced with dozens of passionate speakers from neighbors and their allies — most, focusing on the historic presence and inestimable value of the segregated African-American community in Princeton, but also on the importance of the district to the more recent Latino population. The boundaries of this HD should be those set forth unanimously by the Historic Preservation Commission on February 22, 2016, without exception, as ably set forth by HPC Administrator Elizabeth Kim and Chair Julie Capozzoli on page 6 of their presentation). The integrity of Witherspoon Street will thus be assured; the HD will then

include the historic Sears-Roebuck catalogue homes dating from the 1920s at 190-194 Witherspoon Street, the last of which retains its original porch and stained glass. This HD needs no “guidelines” beyond those spelled out in Consolidated Ordinance 2014-44. Any builder read about what is expected in terms of building “preservation” or “visual compatibility” or dimensions in relation to height and width, neighboring buildings, porch projections, front lawns, roof shape, etc. By these standards, some of the recent buildings in this HD — which have eliminated porches (the core of street life in the community) — and “make an architect’s statement” but do not resemble the neighborhood’s styles over a 100-year period would not have been allowed. Some are eyesores; others unnecessarily shadow neighbors’ homes. Among the many aims of this HD are these: preserve buildings and architectural styles which have been key to this community’s survival; control tear-downs and the erection of dysfunctional mansions; steady the valuations and thus the taxes, so that neighbors whose families have lived in Witherspoon-Jackson for generations can continue to do so — Princeton’s most affordable, and most diverse. Architects I know have said that HD designation is the most effective method for achieving these goals. While some buildings need repair, preservation (even replication) should take precedence over destruction (often, from the perspective of sustainability, the worst thing you can do to a building). One of the chief aims of HD designation is to “foster civic pride” in our history and architecture (Art. XIII. Sec.10B-373[3]). All Princeton, and not only the people of Witherspoon-Jackson, whose homes from Nassau Street north to the vanished Jackson Street have been demolished or “removed,” should indeed feel satisfied that, as a community, we will come together to overcome the shames of the past and to build on our shared history to make us better. The “usable past” (Van Wyck Brooks’s phrase) is what is of value to create the future. I urge Princeton Council to pass an HD ordinance with the HPC boundaries intact, and to acknowledge the thorough and sufficient guidelines in 2014-44. DANIEL A. HARRIS Dodds Lane

Princeton University’s Decision Not to Renew Renowned Lecturer’s Contract Is Shocking

To the Editor: As a Princeton resident, I was shocked to learn of Princeton University’s non-renewal of the contract of the brilliant and learned Near Eastern scholar Dr. Michael Barry, after 12 years of University teaching and just two years from retirement. Michael Barry is a world-renowned scholar whose lectures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Princeton are among the most absorbing I have ever attended. Anyone who doubts the richness of his background and the extent of his contributions should read his biography on the Princeton University website or watch one of his lectures available on youTube. The decision by this immensely wealthy university not to renew the contract of such an illustrious lecturer after so many years is incredibly shabby. To their credit, University students and alumni are protesting the decision, which certainly does not reflect an attitude of age-friendliness at Princeton University.

ness amongst stores in the region in competition for our grocery dollars, as well as a comprehensive plan to utilize fees realized from plastic bag use in a way that benefits the environment of the greater Mercer County region, or even the entire state. Those that insist that the town of Princeton pass its own (flawed) municipal plastic bag legislation fail to see the bigger picture and, consequently, single out the only substantial grocery store in town. McCaffrey’s has done so much over the years to promote reusable grocery bags, as well as provide a convenient location to recycle plastic grocery bags — from any store — well before this “ABC” campaign got started. Their support of the Princeton community in many other ways is so generous and far-reaching that I could not possibly put it into words. I only hope that rational, forward-thinking heads can prevail in this effort to make the Princeton community (really, all of New Jersey) a cleaner, greener, friendlier, and healthier place.

Salted Peanuts and Pulp Fiction With Mike Hammer and Mickey Spillane From a gang land point of view, it makes more sense to put a body in the Pine Barrens than in the Hudson River. —John McPhee ’m beginning a column about Mickey Spillane (1918-2006) with a quote from John McPhee to note the fact that yesterday, March 8, the author of The Pine Barrens celebrated his 85th birthday. While it may be difficult to imagine two writers with less in common, I have no doubt that McPhee could sit down tomorrow, do a month of research, and produce an essay or even a book that would stand as the go-to work about pulp fiction, the mass market paperback revolution, the McCarthy Era, and the author of Kiss Me, Deadly, who once admitted he’s not sure which side of midnight 1918 he was born on (he went with March 9). Reading McPhee, who grew up in Princeton, you are in the company of a renowned master of non-fiction prose. Reading Spillane, who grew up in Elizabeth and made his fortune writing about the world of buried bodies, you are partaking of an experience that has been compared to eating take-out fried chicken. He himself once used a beloved American snack to tease “those big-shot writers” who “could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar.” Besides creating Mike Hammer, the last word in brutal, sex-crazed private eyes, Spillane sold the equivalent of 200 million packs of “salted peanuts” worldwide, and as of 1980, seven of the top 10 all-time fiction best-sellers in America were written by him. Sex and Violence For me, those first seven Signet paperbacks, from I the Jury (1947) to Kiss Me, Deadly (1952), were less like fast food than a combination of bubble-gum and benzedrine consumed on the sly or in junior high study hall, “the sweets of sin” hidden behind the covers of a textbook. While Mike’s sexy Girl Friday Velda — with her “carniverous eyes you could expect to see in the jungle watching from behind a clump of bushes,” her “milliondollar legs,” and “the kind of curves that made you want to turn around and have another look” — stoked my adolescent lust, it was the violence that really jarred and jolted me, the way Spillane makes you feel the words: “I snapped the side of the rod across his jaw and laid the flesh open to the bone. I pounded his teeth back into his mouth with the end of the barrel … and I took my own damn time about kicking him in the face. He smashed into the door and lay there bubbling. So I kicked him again and he stopped bubbling.” How pulpy can you get? You can almost feel the slime of it oozing off the cheap paper onto your fingertips. It’s no coincidence that Spillane’s popularity peaked during the era of the Red Scare. In one book Hammer blows away

100 Commies with a machine gun. In another, “I killed more people tonight than I have fingers on my hands. I shot them in cold blood and enjoyed every minute of it …. They were Commies.” On the Screen Robert Aldrich’s Kiss Me Deadly (1955), the film version of the last published of Spillane’s all-time best-selling “magnificent seven” is listed in every poll as one of the top ten films noir ever made. At the time of its release it was condemned by the Legion of Decency and the subject of Senate hearings on the influence of “horror and crime and sex pictures” on juvenile deliquency. Evidence that Kiss Me Deadly was the year’s Number One Menace to American Youth included a poster for the film: Mickey Spillane’s Latest H-Bomb! WhiteHot Thrills ! Blood-Red Kisses! In French director/film critic Claude Chabrol’s celebration of Kiss Me Deadly, he refers to the source material as “the most deplorable, the most nauseous product of a genre in a state of putrefact ion : a Mickey Spillane stor y,” praising Aldrich and screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides for having “taken this threadbare a n d l a c k l u s te r fabric and splendidly rewoven it into rich patterns of the most e n i g m at i c a r a besques.” Chabrol must have been reading Spillane in translation. Here are some samples picked at random from the “lackluster fabric” of the original: “The gun in the guy’s hand spit out a tongue of flame that lanced into the night and the bullet’s banshee scream matched the one that was still going on behind me.” Or how about: “It was one of those nights when the sky came down and wrapped itself around the world. The rain clawed at the windows of the bar like an angry cat and tried to sneak in every time some drunk lurched in the door.” Spillane’s problems with the film version of Kiss Me Deadly began with the title. Like what happened to the comma? Spillane took that comma seriously. When the printers of the first paperback edition mistakenly left it out, he insisted on having all 50,000 copies pulped (thereby pulping the pulp). Several far more significant changes put the film at the heart of post-

4051008.0423.02x04.WestministerCon.Proof.indd

atomic-bomb paranoia and gave it an appealingly literary spin. Screenwriter Bezzerides said, “I wrote it fast because I had contempt for it. It was automatic writing. Things were in the air at the time, and I put them in.” Besides changing the setting from New York to L.A. and transforming a suitcase full of drugs into a Pandora’s box containing a portable nuclear holocaust, Bezzerides brought in the poetry of Christina Rossetti, put Nat King Cole singing “I’d Rather Have the Blues” on Mike Hammer’s car radio, and later embellished the environment with snatches of Strauss and Chopin, a Brahms string quartet, and Schubert’s Unfinished. It was as if Bezzerides were using high art to mock and subvert the lowlife anti-communist hero so admired by Ayn Rand t hat she ranked Spillane above Hemingway (at least until she read his Tiger Mann series). “I tell you Spillane didn’t like what I did with his book,” said Bezzerides. “I ran into him at a restaurant and, boy, he didn’t like me.” Naked Girl in Raincoat Both book and f ilm open with a bang. It’s night and in the film Mike Hammer (played to a slea z y T by Ralph Meeker) is driving along the Coast Highway when a naked girl in a r a i n co at ( Clo r is L each man ) waves him down. In the book she has no name (“All I saw was a dame standing there in the glare of the headlights waving her arms like a huge puppet”); in the film, she’s Christina, named after the pre-Raphaelite poet, and knowing she’s doomed, she leaves behind a written message, “Remember me,” which Mike later discovers is the title of a Rossetti poem containing the line that leads to the key that opens the locker door to the box from hell: “For if the darkness and corruption leave/A vestige of the thoughts that once I had/Better by far you should forget …” The message is underscored when Mike’s ultra-cool cop friend (Wesley Addy, the definitive Pat) gives him a quiet, measured hint about the contents of the box: “Now listen, Mike. Listen carefully. I’m going to pronounce a few words. They’re harmless words. Just a bunch of letters scrambled together. But their meaning is very important. Try to

understand what they mean. Manhattan Project … Los Alamos … Trinity.” The whole jagged, slashing course of violence — the petty sadism, beatings, knifings, shootings, the crushing (pulping?) of a mechanic, even the torturing to death of the girl in the raincoat — appears as minor mayhem in the blowback of the roaring apocalypse that pours forth from the box when the film’s screaming Pandora opens it. Violating the Actress After almost 20 years of watching cable television, from The Sopranos to Deadwood to Breaking Bad to Penny Dreadful, I feel like I’ve taken a crash course on the aesthetics of violence. In shows like the ones we’ve become addicted to, it’s a given that people are going to do terrible things to one another; that’s the cathartic dynamic that gives an edge of life-or-death significance to the characters and events and dialogue. People have complained about the rape scenes in Game of Thrones, not to mention the Red Wedding sequence when in fact one of the most truly shocking acts of violence — the rape of a housemaid by a guest’s valet in the servant’s quarters — took place in that bastion of strained civility, Downton Abbey, which came to the happiest of all possible endings Sunday. What made the rape of Anna so disturbing was not just that it happened on the far side of Pulp in the realm of Masterpiece Theatre but the sense that both the actress (Joanne Froggat) and the character had been violated by an author taking merciless advantage of his audience the better to keep it watching. With Mickey Spillane, you get what you pay for. If you don’t like the salt, don’t eat the peanuts. At least, to paraphrase John McPhee, you have “a sense of where you are.” Reality TV On the subject of violation and exploitation, I can’t help thinking of the selfimposed torture suffered by Governor Christie at the Mar-a-Lago ballroom with the Donald the other night. I kept trying out Shakespearean scenarios. Christie as Brutus, Christie as Coriolanus, Christie as Malvolio. I wonder if Christie would have been able to hold that same painfully impassive pose during subsequent Trump rallies in Michigan and Louisiana when his man was raging at protestors, punching the air, “get em outa here, get em outa here,” inciting the Mike Hammers in the crowd to take ‘em out in every sense of the word, push ‘em and punch ‘em, do your worst. There was a surge of true violence in those crowds, ugly to see, as the real thing always is. t’s worth noting that Jane Spillane, Mickey’s third wife, not only donated $286 to the Donald in August, she says he reminds her of Mickey: “He talks the way he feels. It comes out. Yeah, it might offend somebody and upset somebody. That’s life.” —Stuart Mitchner

“PHILADELPHIA IN STYLE”: The James A. Michener Museum is debuting “Philadelphia in Style: A Century of Fashion From the Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection, Drexel University.” The exhibition will unveil clothing, accessories, and personal stories that underscore Philadelphia’s influence on American fashion over the last century.

In a special exhibition that opens on March 13, 2016, the James A. Michener Art Museum will showcase a stunning collection of clothing and accessories created, worn, and sold in Philadelphia from 1896 to 1994. Philadelphia in Style: A Century of Fashion From the Robert & Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection, Drexel University illuminates the rich sartorial legacy of a city that has often been overshadowed by New York, but in reality has played a significant role in American fashion: Philadelphia has long been an influential design center, an incubator for leading fashion design talent, and a home to stylish women. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Westphal College of Media Arts and Design at Drexel University, whose Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection (FHCC) will loan

ments, accessories, and textiles from the last three centuries. One of the finest and oldest research collections in the nation, the FHCC was called a “world-class collection of fashion and textiles” by the Wall Street Journal. On view through June 26, 2016, the exhibition will include dresses, wedding gowns, shoes, hats, and other items created, purchased, and worn in Philadelphia between 1896 and the mid-1990s. The exhibition chronicles the shift in the history of fashion, from the practice of employing dressmakers and tailors — with whom many women developed strong personal relationships — to the rise of ready-to-wear clothing from local department stores and other fashion retailers, leading to a new urban pastime: shopping. “We expect Philadelphia in Style to draw the same impressive crowds as our

Hanover, director and CEO of the Michener Art Museum. “This is an extraordinary opportunity for us to show the public a dazzling piece of Philadelphia history.” “For centuries, fashion has been a leading cultural force around the globe, but every city has its own story,” said Kirsten M. Jensen, PhD, the Michener Art Museum’s Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator. “We wanted to tell the Philadelphia story by resurrecting in our galleries the particular glamour, elegance, and shopping customs of Philadelphia ladies through the past century.” Dr. Jensen is co-curating the exhibition with Clare Sauro, curator of the Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection, Drexel University, and Louise Feder, assistant curator at the Michener Art Museum. The exhibition builds on the success of Immortal Beauty, the first large-scale,

retrospective exhibition of highlights from the Fox Historic Costume Collection, which was on display in Drexel’s Leonard Pearlstein Gallery from Octobr to December 2015, but will feature entirely different items from the collection’s unseen riches. “The FHCC is a collection of enormous historic and aesthetic significance, but had previously only been seen by a select few,” said Clare Sauro, curator of the Fox Historic Costume Collection. “Immortal Beauty allowed us to introduce ourselves to the world, but this exhibition will turn the spotlight on Philadelphia fashion, which — having been shaped by the great tastemakers of Philadelphia — is the foundation of our collection.” “Philadelphia in Style will not only afford audiences the chance to view Philadelphia fashion through an artistic lens,” said Dr. Jensen, “it will also evoke personal memories for many visitors as they recall strolling through the grand department stores downtown and remember their own favorite wardrobe items from past decades.” The Philadelphia in Style exhibition will highlight fashion designers and retailers that influenced fashion choices throughout and beyond the mid-Atlantic region, including designers Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, Christian Dior, Callot Soeurs, Halston, and Elsa Schiaparelli, as well as retailers Nan Duskin, John Wanamaker’s, and Strawbridge & Clothier. Complementing the Philadelphia in Style exhibition will be lectures, a film series, and behind-the-scenes tours of regional fashion collections. For listings and details, visit MichenerArtMuseum.org. Group tours are also welcome. A member preview day will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on March 12, the day before the exhibition opens to the general public.

“Cultivating Beauty” Fine Art, Photo Exhibit

University Medical Center of Princeton (UMCP) will host a wine and cheese reception on Friday, March 18, to mark the opening of Cultivating Beauty, an exhibit featuring works by Cranford photographer and fine artist Thomas Francisco. The reception is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Art for Healing Gallery, which is located in the concourse connecting UMCP to the Medical Arts Pavilion and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center. To attend, please RSVP at www.princetonhcs.org/art by March 11. Attendees should park in Lot V1 at the front of the hospital and use the East Entrance. (Facing the hospital’s glass façade, the East Entrance is to the right.) Once inside, attendees will be greeted and directed to the gallery. Mr. Francisco, a member of the Princeton Artists Alliance, is widely recognized for his work in photography, graphic design, and fine art. He has received awards from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts; the Montclair

Arts Festival; the American Society of Media Photographers, New Jersey chapter; the New Jersey Ad Club; the Art Directors Club of New Jersey; the Art Directors Club of New York; the International Advertising Festival; Print Magazine Annual Awards Show; The One Show/New York; and the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). In 2015, his work was featured in the America, Through Artists’ Eyes exhibition at the New Jersey State Museum. Mr. Francisco’s photographs are also included in the permanent Art for Healing collection at UMCP. The collection was acquired over several years, and the works are displayed throughout the hospital as part of the Art for Healing program. Research shows that viewing art can alleviate anxiety and stress, reduce blood pressure, shorten hospital stays, and even limit the need for pain medication. The Art for Healing Gallery, made possible by a generous donation from Princeton Anesthesia Services, features exhibits from artists who have pieces in the Art for Healing collection. Mr. Francisco’s photographs will remain on display now through July 5. The artworks are available for purchase, and 20 percent of the proceeds benefit UMCP’s Art for Healing program.

“THE SEASONS”: “June, or What I Thought I Knew,” the oil on linen featured above, is one of the works by Deborah Rosenthal included in the solo exhibit “The Seasons” at the Rider University Art Gallery from now through April 10.

“The Seasons” Exhibit At Rider University

The Rider University Art Gallery’s exhibition titled “The Seasons,” featuring the work of Deborah Rosenthal, is on view now through Sunday, April 10. An artist’s talk will be held in the gallery on Thursday, March 10 at 7 p.m. Admission for all events is free. Professor of Art at Rider Universit y’s Westminster College of the Arts, Rosenthal has exhibited her work at the Bowery Gallery in New York since 1984. She has shown in both group and solo shows in museums, galleries, and university galleries in the United States. Her paintings, drawings, and prints have been discussed and reproduced in many publications including The New York Times, The New Yorker, Modern Painters, Art in America, and Yale Review. “[Rosenthal’s paintings] reveal a sensibility immersed in landscape, in natural cycles of transformation and renewal. Rosenthal is no plein-air painter, however, no illustrator of scenic views. What makes her so remarkable is the strength of her aesthetic imagination. She is that rare artist whose formal knowledge has fused so thoroughly with her inventiveness that they appear indistinguishable: with a few brushstrokes she can bring the entire history of painting to bear, even while those brushstrokes remain spontaneous,” writes University of Minnesota Professor Peter Campion. The Rider University Art Gallery is located in the Bar t Luedeke Center on Rider University’s campus, 2038 Lawrenceville Road,

in Lawrenceville. It is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. The gallery will be closed for spring break (March 12-20). To learn more, visit www. rider.edu/arts. ———

Princeton Senior O’Donovan in New Jersey is more than lished earlier this year. ParTransforms 1853 Opera gratifying, it’s tremendous.” ticipants are invited to stay Les Noces de Jeannette (Jeannette’s Wedding Day) is a two-person opéracomique composed by Victor Massé in 1853 to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré. The opera, which some consider to be Massé’s best work, revolves around the wedding ceremony of Jean and Jeannette, two villagers in 19th-centur y France, that goes horribly wrong when Jean runs from the altar, leaving Jeannette as the laughing stock of the village. For her senior t hesis, Heather O’Donovan (Princeton Universit y Class of 2016) has created a singable English translation of Massé’s opera and transformed the work, originally scored for full orchestra, into an English-language chamber opera. Despite being a comedic tour de force, Jeannette’s Wedding Day also features moments of incredible beauty and tenderness. J e a n n e t t e’s We d d i n g Day is directed by David Kellett, conducted by Renata Dworak, and features soprano Heather O’Donovan and baritone Kevin McElwee. The performances will take place on Thursday, March 10 and Friday, March 11 at 6 p.m. in Taplin Auditorium in Fine Hall. There are no tickets or reservations required and the event is free. ———

Princeton Festival Receives JerseyArts Award for Opera

The Princeton Festival once again received the JerseyArts. com People’s Choice Award for Opera for its production of The Marriage of Figaro. The annual awards honor the work of New Jersey’s vibrant arts community. The Princeton Festival was among the more than 110 arts organizations and downtown districts nominated for the awards. Richard Tang Yuk, artistic director and general manager of the Festival said, “Receiving the People’s Choice Awards is a special thrill for us. We put on a full program of performing arts each year with everything from jazz to musicals to chamber music and we are very proud of every performance, but the opera is still a centerpiece. An opera is such a huge production, it’s a portrait of performing arts in and of itself and it speaks to people in so many ways, that to have our opera win the votes of the people

Last year the Festival won the JerseyArts Award for opera for its production of Porgy and Bess. The JerseyArts.com People’s Choice Awards are coordinated through the Discover Jersey Arts program, a cosponsored project of ArtPride New Jersey Foundation and New Jersey State Council on the Arts aimed at increasing awareness of and participation in the arts.

Caroline Shaw Women’s Advocacy Group Awards Grant to PSO

The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) is pleased to announce its receipt of a grant from the Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy in support of its performance of works by Caroline Shaw and Sarah Kirkland Snider. Founded in 2008, the Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy builds upon the achievements of T he Women’s Philharmonic (19802004) by advocating for the performance of compositions by women. The PSO will perform Shaw’s Lo for Violin and Orchestra during its Sunday, March 13 “Beholding Brahms” concert and Snider’s Hiraeth at the “Passion and Affection” concert on Sunday, May 15.

According to PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov, both artists “reflect the unmistakable burst of talent that women composers are contributing to the field of classical music.” Caroline Shaw won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Music for her work Partita for 8 Voices, written for the Grammy Award winning a cappella group Roomful of Teeth, of which she is a member. An occasional section violinist with the PSO while pursuing doctoral studies at Princeton University, Shaw returns as soloist in her own work. The PSO joins the North Carolina and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestras in the commission of this work for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNOW Festival. Princeton resident Sarah Kirkland Snider is composer of critically acclaimed song cycles Penelope and Unremembered. Snider was born and raised in Princeton, and played in the Princeton High School Orchestra under the baton of PSO founder Portia Sonnenfeld. She received a bachelor’s degree from Wesleyan University and a master’s degree and Artist Diploma from the Yale School of Music, where she studied with Martin Bresnick, Aaron Jay Kernis, Ezra Laderman, and David Lang. Roomful of Teeth recorded The Orchard by Snider on their eponymous Grammy Award winning album. Her multi-media work Hiraeth, co-commissioned by the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra and the PSO, recalls childhood visits to beloved grandparents in Salisbury, North Carolina. Support for community programs centered on Snider’s Hiraeth comes from the National Endowment for the Arts which awarded the PSO a 2016 ArtWorks grant. Among the planned events are meetthe-composer talks at the Princeton Public Library, the Arts Council of Princeton, and Richardson Auditorium. A performance of Snider’s Penelope will take place at the Princeton High School’s Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, and will feature vocalist Carla Kihlstedt with members of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra led by Assistant Conductor John Devlin. The PSO concludes its 35th Anniversary Season celebrating the creativity of women with a performance of Richard Einhorn’s oratorio Voices of Light, accompanying the silent film masterpiece The Passion of Joan of Arc at the Princeton Festival on Thursday, June 9 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for all events can be ordered via princetonsymphony.org or by phone at (609) 497-0020.

Where to Invade Next

Sequel Follows Golden Rule That “Bigger Is Better”

he conventional wisdom for shooting a sequel to a successful action movie is that “bigger is better.” In the case of this follow up to Olympus Has Fallen, that means bigger guns, more elaborate chase scenes, a higher body-count, and more pyrotechnics, including exploding cars careening off cliffs in flames. Directed by Babak Najafi, London Has Fallen stars Gerard Butler in his role as Mike Banning, the Secret Service Agent who is in charge of protecting the president of the United States. Also reprising their roles are Radha Mitchell as his wife, Leah; Aaron Eckhart as President Asher; Morgan Freeman as Vice President Trumbull; Angela Basset as Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs; Melissa Leo as Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan; and Robert Forster as General Clegg. At the point of departure, the Bannings are examining paint samples for their first baby’s nursery. Leah is due in a couple weeks, and the prospect of fatherhood has Mike seriously contemplating retirement. But before he can tender a letter of resignation, word arrives that the British Prime Minister has unexpectedly passed away.

Over his worried wife’s objections, Mike grudgingly agrees to join the detail that is accompanying the president to the funeral. Despite very heavy security in London, chaos ensues when radical Muslims — disguised as Bobbies and Beefeaters — open fire, assassinating several of the 28 leaders of the world leaders who are attending the funeral. Mike instinctively springs into action to escort the president from Westminster Abbey back to Air Force One. Of course, this is easier said than done, since it’s almost impossible to tell the good guys from the bad, and terrorists armed with automatic weapons and RPGs are lying in wait at every turn. With the help of cartoon physics and a bulletproof physique, Mike manages to prevail against the army of bloodthirsty jihadists who are working for the diabolical mastermind, Aamir Barkawi (Alon Aboutboul). Very Good (HHH). Rated R for graphic violence and pervasive profanity. Running time: 100 minutes. Distributor: Gramercy Pictures. —Kam Williams

Tarakchian Comes Up Big in Final Home Weekend As PU Women’s Hoops Starts March With a Bang

he emotions were swirling for Annie Tarakchian as she took the court last Friday to start her final home weekend with the Princeton University women’s basketball team. “It is so bittersweet; it is crazy to think that it is our senior weekend,” said senior forward Tarakchian, a 6’0 native of West Hills, Calif., whose classmates on the squad are Michelle Miller, Amanda Berntsen, Alex Wheatley, and Taylor Williams. “My four classmates have made this journey so, so special. It is so funny how different everyone is but coach (Courtney) Banghart meshed us together and it just works.” Tarakchian and her teammates had to work hard to overcome a talented Harvard team, pulling away to a 79-69 win after the Crimson drew to within six points early in the fourth quarter. “Harvard always gives us a good run, they have a great offense,” said Tarakchian. “They are really good at offensive rebounding, that tested us. Coach got into us a little bit, which we needed. It is fun to see us grow and there are always going to be moments of growth and Harvard helped us tonight with growing.” Tarakchian got into the offensive flow, hitting 8-of-14 shots on the way to a career-high 24 points. “I think we just clamped down and focused on what we needed to do,” said Tarakchian, who also grabbed 11 rebounds. “We kept giving up offensive boards and having defensive lapses, we are better than that. It is March. We know our game plan and we know how we play. We have a standard and when we fall short of that, coach helps us out.” After beating Dartmouth 68-42 on Saturday, Princeton moved to 23-4 overall and 12-1 Ivy League, keeping alive its hopes for another trip to March Madness, setting up a winner-take-all Ivy League title showdown for the NCAA bid with Penn (23-4 overall, 12-1 Ivy) slated for March 8 at Jadwin Gym. “Our preseason opponents have really helped

us grow and starting from Penn in the Ivies,” said Tarakchian, who had nine points and 11 rebounds in the win over Dartmouth and was later named the Ivy Co-Player of the Week for her weekend heroics along with Penn sophomore forward Michelle Nwokedi. “I think we pride ourselves on getting better, day by day. We face good people every day in practice. Our second line is tough and they give us a good run every day.” While Tarakchian was thrilled to start her final home weekend with such a big game, she was more focused on team success. “This weekend is special; I am not going to attribute it to being the last one,” said Tarakchian, reflecting on her offensive outburst. “It is hitting me kind of hard; everyone’s family is here and it is just a special moment. We have got to take it all in. I just want the win so if I have five points or I have 24, I just want the win. It is very nice to have a game like this; I am just looking to have some fun in this last stretch.” Princeton head coach Banghart, for her part, acknowledged that she had to show some tough love to help the Tigers pull away down the stretch against Harvard. “Our kids just owned up; I was pretty direct with them,” said Banghart. “At a timeout, I said basically that we are who we are because of how we defend and how we rebound and those two things have led us astray. There was a lot of looking at the bench for ‘bummer, shoot I missed that block out.’ I just said I had enough. We are going to clamp down and get the championship.” Banghart liked the way Tarakchian handled things on Friday. “She was so great, 24 points and 11 rebounds, she was great on Saturday night last week,” said Banghart of Tarakchian, a first-team All-Ivy performer last year who is averaging 12.3 points and a team-high 9.4 rebounds this season. “I think Annie’s slow start this year has been because she truly just wants to do whatever the team needs. I think what she needs to understand, and what I have been able to help

She needs to rebound and make shots and the last two games, that is exactly what she has done.” With Princeton riding a 12game winning streak coming into the Penn showdown, Banghart has seen her team get better and better. “I think we are more competitive on the floor while the clock is going,” said Banghart. “We are way deeper on the bench, not only in energy but in accountability.

Even though the Princeton University men’s hockey team was seeded 12th in the ECAC Hockey playoffs, it liked its opening round matchup at f if t h - seeded Clarkson. “We had the knowledge of beating them at home and we were close for two periods up there,” said Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty, whose team defeated Clarkson 3-0 on November 21 at Baker Rink before falling 5-2 to the Golden Knights in the rematch on February 12. “We were just fine-tuning some of our tendencies that we could utilize against Clarkson. It was a positive atmosphere.” The Tigers got off to a positive start Friday night in the opener of the bestof-three series, taking a 1-0 lead on a first period goal by Alex Riche. Princeton went up 2-0 midway through the second period on a goal by Ryan Siiro. “The way we started is the way we played for the majority of the series,” said Fogarty. “I thought we played to the best of ability this weekend. We created goal scoring chances; we kept them to the outside in 5-on-5.” But a crucial third period penalty on Princeton turned the tide in the favor of Clarkson as it scored on that power play and then tallied in a 6-on-4 situation with 21.9 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. “If it stayed 5-on-5, I am sure we would have had a positive result but you give a team five minutes on the power play, they are going to get opportunities,” lamented Fogarty. “Then they had the goalie pulled and then we had too many men on the ice and it was a 6-on-4. They score in the waning moments; we gave it up with the extra attacker.” The Tigers regrouped in overtime, battling the Gold-

en Knights to a stalemate in the first extra period. But the Tigers couldn’t hold the fort in the second overtime as Clarkson tallied 1: 05 into that period to win the game. “Obviously it is tough, we had to refocus, after having a 2-0 lead but we realized if we had it 2-2 going into over time in the the first game, we would take it,” said Fogarty, reflecting on the marathon contest, which ended up being the third longest in program history. “The guys refocused and playe d well in t he f irs t overtime. We had scoring chances. We were going three lines from the majority of the third period on. The energy level was great, they stayed with it. They skated hard and smart the entire time.” A night later, the foes went into overtime again and Princeton yielded a goal 17:23 into the first extra period to fall 3-2 and conclude its season at 5-23-3. Early in the contest, it didn’t look like it was headed to OT as Princeton trailed 2-0 midway through the first period. “We had a great talk at the first intermission, saying that ever y class has been in this situation, being down to your last game and down by a goal or two,” said Fogarty. “If you lose, you want to leave it fighting and go down with hear t and resolve. When it is over, you don’t want to look back and think what could I have done differently.” The Tigers clearly took that message to heart, as Max Veronneau scored a second period goal and Ben Foster added a third-period tally to send the game into overtime. “The guys responded great in the second period and gave us a chance to win the game,” said Fogarty. “It was most definitely different, now you come back and tie it. Garrett Skrbich had a great chance in overtime and the goalie made a great save.” In reflecting on the series loss, Fogarty said it came down to the special teams play. “The biggest weakness the whole weekend was the power play, we didn’t get a goal on the power play,” said Fogarty. “If we had just scored on one throughout any game, it would have made a big difference. We have to address that and get better.” In assessing the season overall, Fogarty noted that t he inf usion of talented freshman made a big difference. “We are a team that is in

the process of changing, we had our one line that was a freshman line (Riche, Veronneau, and Ryan Kuffner) and then Josh Teves at the point, who contributed every game for us,” said Fogarty. “Our freshmen did a lot of the production offensively for us this year, they had a good year.” The Tigers also showed more punch offensively as they scored 60 goals this winter compared to 39 in 2014-15. “I think puck management was a big improvement, we didn’t throw the puck away and that gave us more opportunities to score,” said Fogarty. In Fogar t y’s v iew, t he Tigers are on the verge of some big things. “We put together some str ings of playing smar t hockey and we could beat anyone,” said Fogarty. “We were up 3-1 at Quinnipiac around Christmas; we had a win against Yale, who is a top-ranked team. There are a lot of positives. We showed a growing maturity. You are in games, you have taken leads. There are 16 games that we lost by a goal or had the goalie pulled, compared to five the year before. It is a little more frustrating because you are so close but it showed a great progression of being in 16 games this year that we ended up losing but we were in them.” Junior goalie Colton Phinney kept Princeton in a lot of games as he recorded a program single-season record of 1,058 saves in 30 appearances. “He is a huge par t of things for us, he gave us the opportunity to be more offensive minded,” said Fogarty, of Phinney, who had 43 saves in Game 1 and 44 in Game 2 last weekend against Clarkson. “The maturity of him in the net, making saves at a high rate and frequency, that is a reason why our goal production went up a lot this year from last year. Having him back is great. He has a chance to play pro hockey when he is done. I know he wants to come back and win a playoff series and hopefully get to Lake Placid. He will definitely be one of our leaders on the team next year.” Fogarty is definitely looking to add more offensive firepower to the team next year. “We have got to recruit goal scorers, guys who have proven that they can put the puck in the net in juniors,” said Fogarty. “We have to recruit guys, k n ow i n g w h at t h e y ar e showing at the junior level is what we they are going to be.” As for his returning guys, Fogarty believes they need to show more athleticism to build on this winter’s progress. “They just need to continue to get stronger, you can never be strong enough or quick enough,” said Fogarty. “We are in a position now to win those one-on-one battles more frequently.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Hockey Earns At-Large Bid to NCAAs, Will Face Defending Champ Minnesota in Quarters In late November, 2014, the Princeton Universit y women’s hockey team got to test its skills as it hosted perennial powerhouse Minnesota for a two-game set. Providing the fans at Baker Rink with plenty of entertainment, Princeton battled valiantly in losing 2-1 and 5-2 to the Golden Gophers, who went on to win the NCAA title. Next Saturday, the Tigers will get another crack at Minnesota but the stakes will be higher this time as Princeton will head out to Ridder Arena in Minneapolis to face the Golden Gophers in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. A f ter suf fer ing a g utwrenching 2-1 series loss to St Lawrence in the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals, the Tigers were thrilled to get an at-large bid and the assignment at third-seeded Minnesota. “We are so excited and grateful for the opportunity to represent the Ivy League and the ECAC in the NCAA Tournament,” said Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal, as quoted on the Tiger spor ts website af ter the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday evening. “We are equally excited to play Minnesota, the defending champs and first class program. Coach (Brad) Frost has done a spectacular job with his team, not only this year, but since he stepped foot on campus. Ridder will be packed, it will be so much fun.” The Tigers, who set a program record in wins as they have posted a 22-8-2 record this winter, are making their second-ever appearance in the NCAA tourney and first since 2006, when they fell to Minnesota.

The Golden Gophers, 324-1 overall this season, are making their ninth straight NCAA appearance and 14th since 2001. Speaking for the Princeton players, senior forward and team captain Cristin Shanahan echoed Kampersal’s sentiments. “We couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to play in the NCAA tourna-

ment,” said Shanahan. “This team has worked so hard all year and faced so much adversity, and we are so grateful to be given this chance. Minnesota will certainly be a battle but they’re nothing we can’t handle.” The Tigers have proven they can handle a lot this winter. “I am so proud of our team,” added Kampersal. “We have experienced so much emotionally this year, but the team has remained relentless.” —Bill Alden

After seeing just 24 minutes of action during her freshman season for the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team in 2014, goalie Ellie DeGarmo started last spring on the bench. But coming on in relief in the season opener, DeGarmo starred and essentially never left the field after that. She started the next 19 games, posting a goals against average of 8.71, helping Princeton win the Ivy League regular season title and tournament on the way to the NCAA quarterfinals. “I definitely gained a lot of confidence last year, that was a big focus for me,” said

DeGarmo, a 5’6 native of Baltimore, Md. This spring, DeGarmo is looking to take her game to a higher level. “A big focus for me is consistency, last year I was up and down a lot,” said DeGarmo. Junior DeGarmo is achieving that goal with aplomb. Last Saturday, she made 12 saves to help sixth-ranked Princeton defeat Dartmouth 11-5 in the Ivy League opener for both teams. DeGarmo now has a goals against average of 7.47 in 2016 and is averaging 11.2 saves a game. “I guess I am seeing the ball better, I am a little bit

more patient,” said DeGarmo, reflecting on her hot start. “I guess it is experience and knowing what to expect in the game. Last year it was so new to me at the college level.” In DeGarmo’s view, the Tiger defense lived up to expectations as it stifled Dartmouth, totally shutting down Big Green star Jaclyn Leto, who entered the game with 20 goals on the season. “We were super excited and we knew that they had one of the top scorers in the country in No. 20 (Leto) and we were really ready, we scouted them hard,” said DeGarmo. “We came in and we were really excited to play them. I am so proud of the defense, I could not have asked for a better game on defense. They were incredible.” DeGarmo is excited by the progress of the defensive unit, which features senior captain and star Liz Bannantine along with junior Amanda Leavell, junior Madeline Rodriguez, and senior Maddy Lynch. “L as t year it was t he same four on the line and then me,” said DeGarmo. “I thought we did a really good job last year but this year, we have a whole year under our belt playing with each other. We just know each other so well in terms of when we are on the field. We are all best friends off the field so we are really close. I think we have experience and it has really helped a lot.” That experience together has led to increased communication on the field. “I am no more of a director than LB ( Bannantine) or Madeline Rodriguez,” said DeGarmo. “We are all talking. I see everything so I am always talking. I am always saying where the ball is and if there is a drive coming.” The Tigers were fired up to start their drive for an Ivy title encore with the big win over Dartmouth. “It was awesome, it feels so good walking off the field knowing we beat them by six and we had eight goal scorers,” said DeGarmo. “The defense perfectly executed the plan. We could not feel better about it, it was an awesome start.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Chris Sailer feels good about the play she is getting from

DeGarmo in goal. “The thing I like about Ellie this year is that she has just been consistent,” asserted Sailer. “She has had double digits in saves in every single game. I think a lot of that you can attribute to Ellie but also the defense that is in front of her, giving her shots that she can see. She has always been able to make some big saves. She has been incredible, she has been a force all year.” The Tiger defense was a force on Saturday, holding Dartmouth to one goal in the first half and giving up just two goals in the first 21 minutes of the second half. “Jen Cook is our defensive coordinator and she came up with a great game plan,” s aid Sailer, not ing t hat Princeton held Dartmouth star Leto scoreless on the afternoon. “The kids really made those adjustments well. Leto had nine points in her last game and now she had zero. It is amazing, the kids were awesome on her.” W hile the Tiger attack wasn’t awesome against the Big Green, it adjusted as the game went on. “The first half was a low

scoring half in general,” said Sailer, who got two and two assists from senior Stephanie Paloscio on the day with junior star Olivia Hompe chipping in three goals and E li zabet h G eorge, A nya Gersoff, Ellie McNulty, and Kathryn Hallett chipping in one apiece. “I think we are still working on developing that chemistry and that understanding of how to work a defense and wait for a good opportunity instead of trying to score really early in your possession. It still is something we have to figure out but we did have 11 goals against a nice defensive team.” Sailer pointed to Paloscio as an offensive catalyst for the Tigers in the win. “Steph played really well; she had a great game,” said Sailer. “I thought she played really inspired and made some really nice moves and feeds so that was nice to see especially when you have a kid like Liv (Olivia Hompe), who was getting face-guarded. It is nice to see a kid like that step up.” All in all, it was a nice way for Princeton to start its Ivy title defense. “I think it is a great kickoff to the Ivy League; Dartmouth was 3-1

and they are a quality team this year,” said Sailer. “There is so much history in this rivalry so we expect a battle every time we play and it was today. It was very physical on the field with a lot of stuff going on out there and I thought our kids really kept their poise and played well.” The Tigers will need to keep their poise when they play at No. 7 Notre Dame (5-1) on March 13. “It is a big challenge; we will be watching film all week getting ready for them,” said Sailer. “I think they are a really athletic group and dynamic offensively. We will be working hard to prepare.” DeGarmo, for her part, is primed to keep up her good work in goal. “I am so excited to play them; as soon as I knew we were playing them, I was thinking this is going to be a great game,” said DeGarmo. “They are one of the top teams in the country and a team we would not usually play otherwise. It is going to be huge, I can’t wait. I am really excited for the challenge they are going to throw at us.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Men’s Lax Falls 17-7 at Hopkins, Aims to Rebound Against Maryland, Rutgers Trailing by three goals at halftime against Johns Hopkins last Saturday afternoon, the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team believed it was headed for the latest nail-biter in the heated rivalry between the storied programs. “We were down 6-3 but four of the goals that we had given up were man-down goals,” said Princeton head coach Chris Bates. “We felt like early on we were playing good half-field defense and creating some opportunities offensively. We just got four penalties. At halftime, I felt like we were playing fine, if we could just minimize being in the box.” In the second half, though, Princeton didn’t play well as it was outscored 11-4 on the way to a 17-7 loss. “Clearly face-offs were an issue for us, we just didn’t have any ball possession so at the end of the day, they had 33 or 34 possessions and we had 19,” said Bates, whose team lost 15 of 19 face-offs in the second half as it moved to 1-2 on the season. “That is just a big hill to climb and any time we got a little bit of momentum, the next face-off goes to them. Frankly we wore down defensively, we just played a ton of defense all game long.” Princeton had a hill to climb before the game even started as they were without All-America midfielder Zach Currier, who served a onegame suspension after being ejected at the conclusion of the 11-10 overtime loss to Hofstra on February 27. “Not having Currier makes a big difference, we probably would have used him on the face-off X,” said Bates. “We knew all week we had to account for his seven or eight ground balls and we didn’t. Our ground ball play, our loose ball play was sub-

par. It was a little bit of a perfect storm. I thought Hopkins played well and played energetic. The fact that we didn’t face-off well or ground ball well is a recipe for a long day.” While the Tigers suffered through a long day in Baltimore last Saturday, Bates is confident better days are ahead. “The message is we that we are on the right path,” said Bates, who got a careerbest 20 saves from sophomore goalie Tyler Blaisdell in the loss with sophomore midfielder Austin Sims producing the first two-goal game of his Tiger career. “We had a little bit of a funky week. Bear Goldstein didn’t practice one time due to sickness and a death in the family. Mark Strabo hadn’t played a game in two years so we are a work in progress. We just tried to reassure our guys that you played a good team. We are missing one of our better players, that brings a ton of intangibles to who we are. We have to stay on the path. I think guys appreciate that. They came back to work this morning and did a very good job.” Bates acknowledges that his team needs to do a better job at both of ends of the field. “A bright spot was that Tyler played very well in goal and Sims did a nice job, we are just watching some guys grow up and I don’t think that is unexpected for us,” said Bates. “Defensively we are trying to get into a little bit of a rhythm with guys playing together. Will Reynolds didn’t play last year; these are ga m e m i nute s i n a unique position for him. He is playing up top in a long pole position.

some unity there and getting some young guys some experience.” Princeton will need to figure out things quickly as it hosts No. 11 Maryland (1-2) on March 12 and then has a quick turnaround as it hosts No. 16 Rutgers (5-0) on March 14. “T hey have been ver y good, their offensive production in the last few games is down because they have played two of the top-5 defenses in the country,” said Bates of Maryland. “They are well coached, they are disciplined. They have Big 10 athletes that always pose matchup issues that you have to account for. They face off exceptionally well and they are solid in the goal, so it is a test for us but I think our guys will bounce back and being at Class of 52 Stadium will give us a little boost of energy.

Princeton bounced back from the loss to the Crimson to defeat Dartmouth 84-65 last Saturday as junior star Steven Cook poured in a career-high 27 points.

Tiger Squash Players Ousted at CSA Event

It was a rough weekend for the Princeton University squash players as they competed in the College Squash Association (CSA) Individual Championships at Chelsea Piers in Stamford, Conn. Tiger women’s sophomore star Olivia Fiechter dropped her CSA individual quarterfinal match, while five members of the women’s or men’s teams fell in their ‘B’ draw matches to miss All-America honors for the 2015-16 season. Fiechter, a CSA semifinalist last year, fell to Harvard’s Kayley Leonard in four close games in the quarterfinal. After the two split a pair of 11-8 games, Leonard was able to win the final two to advance to the semifinal.

Heading into the postseason, the Princeton High b oys’ ho ckey te a m was peaking. The Little Tigers went 3-01 in their last four regular season games, picking up a 2-1 win over Hopewell Valley and a 3-3 tie with Robbinsville in the process. “I think we lost to Robbinsville on January 26 and since then, we had a nice little run there. PHS kept rolling in the first two rounds of the MCT, topping WW/P-S in the opening round and then edging HoVal 3-2 in overtime in the quarterfinals.

But then the Little Tigers hit a wall, losing 8-4 to perennial power Notre Dame in the MCT semis and bowing out in the opening round of the state Public B tournament with an 8-1 loss at Mendham. While ending the season with two losses stung, Miller saw the 12-8-4 campaign as an overall success. “It was an abrupt ending but at the end of the day we had a successful season and the team really jelled towards the end of the year,” said Miller. “We came up against a

buzz-saw in Mendham but on any given day, we have a chance to play with anybody.” Miller credited his group of seniors, Nathan Drezner, Matt Cirillo, George Seneko, and Earl Humes, with helping the team to jell. “This year we had a smaller senior class, those are four guys that have been with us through and through,” said Miller. “Nathan has been a really good player for us. Matt made contributions, he won our sportsmanship award. Everybody loves George, he walks into a room and he lifts it up. George is a great kid. Earl the Pearl, as I call him, is a special kid, who picked up hockey in high school and earned his way on the team. He was hard working and he finished out his senior year like that.” Boasting a group of junior stars in leading scorer Brendon McCormick, who scored 31 goals this winter and has passed the 100-point mark in his PHS career, along with defensemen Tooker Callaway, Eamonn McDonald, Anthony Trainor, and goalie Sawyer Peck, Miller is looking at that class to come up big next winter. “We are certainly coming back fully loaded with a big junior class this year; this is the group that I started with when I came in and took over so they are kind of a special group to me,” said Miller. “We will be looking for next year’s senior class to really have a strong year and do some big things.” Sophomores Max Garlock, Justin Joyce, and Luke Matteo did some good things this winter for the Little Tigers. “Max and Justin have solidified themselves ; Luke really came on strong late for us,” added Miller. “Those three made big contributions.” A trio of freshmen, Augie

Preziosi, Nathan Podgalsky, and Robbie Trainor, made some strong contributions in their debut season with PHS. “Augie is a really good player; Nathan finished as our second highest goal scorer so that reflects the impact he had as a freshman,” said Miller. “He was a player who had played defense his whole career and we moved him up to forward and he did well there so that speaks to his overall hockey ability. Robbie is a great little skater, he is a good club hockey player. He is going to be really good.” With that core of talent in place, PHS believes it can be very good next winter. “All in all, what they can take from this year to next year is really we put ourselves in a good position,” said Miller. “We were in the semifinals of the counties against Notre Dame for a third straight year. Certainly next year we have our sights set on them, they have obviously been the team to beat in the CVC over the last four or five years.” In order to get his team up to Notre Dame’s level, Miller has his sights set on getting more out of his players. “I would like to ramp up our preseason schedule a little bit next year, and maybe have some tougher scrimmages,” said Miller. “I want to see if we can get the wheels going a little sooner so when we hit the end of the year we are used to playing to a higher consistency and at a higher peak.” —Bill Alden

Buoyed by Special Team Camaraderie, PHS Girls’ Hockey Battled Valiantly On paper, it may appear that the Princeton High girls’ hockey team ended the season on a down note as it fell 4-0 to Holton Arms (Md.) in its finale. But for PHS head coach Christian Herzog, the loss in the ‘B’ bracket of the WIHLMA (Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the MidAtlantic) tournament last month spoke volumes about his squad’s character. “I thought they gave a valiant effort, considering, I had eight skaters and nine players including the goalie,” said Herzog. “So if you factor that in, I thought it was an amazing game. Callie (Urisko) was a standout in goal with 43 saves.” Herzog saw some valiant play throughout the winter. “I enjoyed having the season with the girls,” said Herzog, whose team went 2-9 this season. “ W hen I tal ked about our record at the banquet, they were all clapping and hooting and hollering like we won the Stanley Cup. It wasn’t our most productive season in the win category but it wasn’t our worst.” The Little Tigers enjoyed one of their more productive games when they topped Pingry 6-4 on Senior Night with senior star Isabelle Sohn exploding for three goals and an assist. “Isabelle had a standout game, they were talking in the locker room about getting another win and not taking them for granted and somebody else had said it is senior night, I want to have a really good game; I would love to score a hat trick,”

recalled Herzog. “I said if you score a hat trick, your dad better throw the hat on the ice and Isabelle’s dad did throw the hat on the ice. Callie played really well in goal as well.” Urisko’s improvement and her perseverance as PHS’s only goalie resulted in her getting named as the team’s MVP for the season. “Callie knows that she was the only show in town, she would show up when she was sick; she would play her best, no matter what,” said Herzog of Urisko, who posted an .866 save percentage this season. “I think she has come a long way, starting with zero goaltending and hockey experience to playing pretty well. There definitely were shots that she was saving at the end of the season that in the beginning I would have thought were going in.” The team’s spor tsmanship award went to senior star Sohn. “Isabelle was the head captain, showing leadership and sportsmanship,” said Herzog. “She is the reason why I enjoy coaching this team. It is players like that with a willingness to work hard and never having excuses.” Senior Sophie Corrodi was the choice for the teams head, hear t, hustle, and honor. “Sophie was more of a forward but she agreed for the betterment of the team that she would play defense because we only had three defensemen,” said Herzog. “She always works hard, she is her own toughest critic.” The coach’s award went to stalwart senior defense-

man Liz Wright. “Liz is an individual who is happy-golucky,” added Herzog. “But she became more and more aggressive as the year went on; she always had Callie’s back.” Making her hockey debut this winter, senior forward Lauren McNulty fit right in with the Little Tigers. “She only came out as a senior and had no hockey experience,” said Herzog. “Sometimes that turns out to be the player who is complaining about playing time but she was the complete opposite. It was a team thing for her with the bonding, there were no headaches there. She was a great kid. I called her my good luck charm, you would put her there on the ice and you would get a power play.” In Herzog’s view, the team formed some deep bonds, helping it this winter and hopefully beyond. “I can tell you this, as far as camaraderie of a team, I haven’t had a closer knit team than this year,” said Herzog, who will be looking to junior Maggie Herring, the team’s top scorer this winter with nine goals, and sophomore Alexa Zammit, the recipient of the captain’s award, to lead the team next winter. “This year’s team, they were like super buddies, going to movies together, hanging out in school. It was good team camaraderie. I am hoping some of that is going to help some more join. I am looking for them to lean on the friendship angle and bring in girls that way.” —Bill Alden

It turned into a Hollywood ending for the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team when it hosted Chatham in its season finale last month. With PDS trailing 2-1 late in the contest, senior star Connor Fletcher assisted on a goal to force overtime and then scored the gamewinner on the last play of his hockey career. “You could not have scripted it any better, it was such a fitting ending for a remarkable career,” said PDS head coach Scott Bertoli, reflecting on Fletcher’s finale. “He has done as much, if not more, for our program and our team than anyone has in my time here.” That win marked the final chapter as the Panthers authored a dramatic turnaround story this winter, going 15-6-3 after winning just three games in the 2014-15 season. “I t hin k t he improved play and maturity of our sophomore class was key,” said Bertoli, whose core of sophomores included Ryan Lisk (5 goals and 5 assists in 2015-16), Eric Sherman (7 assists), Brian Frister (1 goal, 1 assist), Tyler Coffey (18 goals, 14 assists), Russell Friedman (9 goals, 7 assists), and Nic Petruolo (2 goals, 14 assists). “By and large, they were undersized last year, which a lot of freshmen are, especially with the schedule that we play with a lot of boarding schools. It wasn’t new this year when they walked into the door. I think they were a pretty confident group. They had always been a talented group but with a little more maturity and a little more size and strength, they were a really effective group this year.” In Bertoli’s view, it was critical for the team to enjoy some early success this season and PDS accomplished that by going 5-0-1 in its first six games. “Once we got off to a good start this year, I was happy that we stuck with it,” said Bertoli. “We had a really daunting schedule in January. I am looking at the schedule and I am thinking every one

of these games is a 50/50 game and all it takes is to lose one or two of those early games and you lose your confidence and things start to spiral. That never really happened. We talked about it. You don’t get the opportunity to play with this group for so long, come February 10, it is over and it is done with and I think they really embraced that.” The team’s corps of juniors took advantage of their opportunities this winter. “They did what we expected them to do,” said Bertoli. “Jack Mascali (5 goals, 7 assists), Evan Szabo (2 goals, 4 assists ), Gianluca Travia (1 goal, 8 assists), and Keith Asplundh (10 goals, 5 assists), are solid kids who really understand what we are doing. They go out on the ice and execute. They know where they need to be on the ice, they know what their roles are and most of those kids overachieved this year from an offensive production standpoint. Most of those kids can play on the first line or the third line and they don’t care where it is. They are happy to be a part of it, they are happy to contribute.” Having a lot of players contribute helped make PDS formidable this winter. “I think our depth was a big reason why we were successful against a lot of the teams that we played,” noted Bertoli. “T here is no question that teams like Hun, Lawrenceville, and a handful of other teams had two, three, or four high end guys and probably more of those high end guys than we have. But when you star ted going through your second and third lines and your fourth and fifth defensemen, that’s where we had the depth and we had the ability to compete as you got deeper into games. I was just more and more confident that our ability with three quality lines out there was going to pay off and more often than not, it did.” The team’s depth helped the Panthers turn the tables on some foes that had tormented it last season. “I think there were seven or eight teams that we got beat by last year, and beat by pretty convincingly, that we beat this year,” said Bertoli. “I think we won a ton of one-goal games, which is a

Route 206 • Belle Mead

sign of a good team that can play in clutch situations.” PDS got clutch play all winter long from junior goalie Logan Kramsky. “I would argue, that if he is not the best goalie in the state at the high school level, he has got to be in the top three,” asserted Bertoli of Kramsky, who posted a .991 save percentage this season. “The kid is outstanding and he is such a great kid and such a great teammate. I have got nothing but great things to say about that kid. I think his play and the way he goes about his business and what everyone else has to say about him speaks for itself. He singlehandedly kept us in the game and he did it time and time again against really good opponents. Without that guy I would venture to say that our record would be closer to .500 than to be 9 or 10 games above it. He made that much of a difference, he just gives our team confidence.” The play and leadership of Fletcher made a huge difference for the Panthers over the last two seasons. “As great as an impact he had on the game and our locker room, I think what he did last year, keeping things together through the tough times, the really tough times,

was more impressive to me and our coaching staff,” said Bertoli of Fletcher, who tallied 31 points this winter on 15 goals and 16 assists. “The kid showed up every day and was all business. We were getting our butts kicked game after game. In a lot of games, we weren’t even competitive and the kid is out there, he is the hardest working kid on the ice, he is the most effective kid on the ice. He is not the most skilled kid on the ice, and yet, he just found ways to get it done and keep the kids motivated and that parlayed into success this year.” While Bertoli is confident that his team can build on this winter’s success, he knows that the graduation of Fletcher, who is heading to Cornell where he will play for its men’s lacrosse team, leaves a big void. “If we were to return everyone, I like the foundation,” said Bertoli. “I like the fact that they will probably come in as a confident group, but all that being said, when one of the top kids and player and character kids that has ever played here is walking out the door, those are huge shoes to fill in the locker room and on the ice. It is 20 to 25 high quality minutes that someone is going to have to take over in addition to the leadership role.” —Bill Alden

Finishing a Rough Winter on a High Note, Hun Girls’ Hoops Fired Away in Prep A Loss Having won just one game all winter coming into its state Prep A semifinal contest against perennial power Blair Academy, the Hun School girls’ basketball team could have gone through the motions. Instead, Hun played with verve, producing its best offensive effort of the season, battling valiantly before falling 81-48 to Blair, who went on to defeat Lawrenceville 64-44 in the championship game to win the title for the sixth straight year. Hun head coach Bill Holup was proud of the way his

players competed against the Buccaneers. “Blair is the top prep team in the state and the fact is that the girls didn’t come out intimidated,” said Holup. “They came out loose, went out and had some fun. They played well and they made their shots. It was one of the better shooting games, which was certainly a good way to end things. We put in more points than we had in any of the other games.” Freshman guard Nia Sapia starred in the finale, pouring in 20 points, including three

3-pointers, and dishing out four assists. “Nia had a lot of weight on her shoulders, being a freshman point guard,” said Holup. “Unfortunately, with Amber (senior guard Amber Bourke) being out with injury pretty much the whole season, we really had to put a lot on Nia and she was up to it. It wasn’t easy but she learned a lot and as their season progressed she really did a nice job for us.” Another Hun player who stepped up against Blair was senior Maura Kelly.

“She hit a couple of threes against Blair and finished with 12 points,” said Holup. “It was a nice way for her to end her four-year career. Every year she had some ups and downs and she came out there every practice and every game and gave her all and had some fun along the way.” Although Hun didn’t experience many ups this winter as it went 1-22, Holup didn’t see his players hanging their heads. “Their attitude was great, they were certainly down at times but they never had any complaints,” said Holup. “They came back to practice every day hoping to get better and learn more and being able to compete and that is what they were, t h e y we r e c om p e t itor s. They came out and gave it their all. They worked hard but they also had some fun along the way, which is important.” The team stuck together despite the steady diet of losing. “It didn’t mat ter what the score was or what the margin was or whether it was the beginning of the game or the end of the game, they cheered for each other,” said Holup. “They continued to dive for loose balls, to compete, and do what they could.” Holup credited the team’s third senior, Sydney Peoples, with developing as a competitor. “Sydney got a good number of minutes every game,” said Holup. “She gave us some help off the bench as a guard. She was a great kid to have around. She came up through the JV program and she certainly contributed this year.” Hun got good contributions from junior Julie Fassl and freshman Leah Sutphen. “Julie had an ankle injury earlier but she finished out the season,” said Holup. “Julie is Julie; she is a great all around competitor. She has an awesome attitude and personalit y. She is somebody that would just try to do whatever the coach asks. Leah was a real pleas-

ant surprise. She was really just a good kid to have on the team, she started every game from day one all the way to the end of the season.” Sophomore Mia Cura also emerged as a pleasant surprise for the Raiders. “As a freshman she was a JV player, and sophomore year she was a swing player and this year she started virtually every game for us,” said Holup. “She really started to become much more aggressive; she started to assert herself. She does have a nice shot and once she got some confidence with it, she wasn’t afraid to shoot. That is what we needed for her.” In Holup’s view, the program has a nice foundation in place going forward. “The core is there for us and we will just continue

building and adding around the core,” said Holup. “We need some height for next year, we are definitely undersized.” While this year was tough in terms of the record, Holup had a positive experience guiding his charges. “It wasn’t easy, I have been a competitor and an athlete my whole life,” said Holup, a hoops star at Hightstown High and Wesley College, who has more than 250 wins in his coaching career, including six trips to the state Prep A title game at Hun. “It did make it easier knowing that the kids were trying and they had a great attitude. I enjoyed coming to practice. It was hard to be angry or upset based on the fact they were good kids who were trying and as a coach, that is what you want from the players.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Robert Del Tufo Robert Del Tufo, one of New Jersey’s most revered and accomplished attorneys, died at home in Princeton on March 2, 2016. He was 82. Born in Newark, he attended Newark Academy, Princeton University (’55) and Yale Law School (’58). Robert Del Tufo loved New Jersey — its heft, grit, and potential. And he dedicated himself — from the day he passed the Bar — to serving the state — as U.S. Attorney, as director of Criminal Justice, as Attorney General, and more. When he returned to private practice, it was to open the New Jersey office of Skadden Arps where he was partner and of counsel for the last 20 years of his practice. Public service was Robert Del Tufo’s calling. Over his career he served on scores of not-for-profit boards from the N.J. Sports and Exposition Authority to drug prevention programs such as Daytop and Integrity House, to John Cabot University in Rome, and toward the end of his career, to the troubled University of Medicine and Dentistry of N.J. — a probono position he held for five years, ultimately restoring its institutional integrity.

The late Richard Leone, one time head of the Port Authority wrote: “Del Tufo was chosen to fill every significant law enforcement post the state and nation had to offer in N.J. And he took on tasks that would not ordinarily be considered a test of integrity — like rebuilding trust in the state’s medical and dental school. He is the very model of law enforcement, justice, and the American way.” Robert Del Tufo was defined by unusual pairings. He was a fearless litigator and tender-hearted friend; a humble high-achiever; an intensely private man and devoted public servant; an ardent listener, learner, and mentor. He was True North. He was a devoted, giving and protective husband to his wife, Kate Nouri Hughes, and he was a towering but shadowless father and grandfather who had the back of everyone of his four children, two step-children, and ten grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on March 16, 2016 at 3 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium at Princeton University. Funeral arrangements are through the Mather Hodge Funeral Home in Princeton. In lieu of flowers please make contributions to the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra in New York City. ———

Barbara Sayre Ellis

Barbara Sayre Ellis died March 1, 2016. She was born December 5, 1920 to Frank and Marie Sayre and grew up in Philadelphia. A graduate of Germantown Friends School (1938) and Wells College (1942), she married Donovan R. Ellis, Jr. in 1947. Through her genuine interest in others, outgoing personality, and keen sense of humor, Barbara formed strong connections with the people she encountered — both personally and professionally. The resulting

host of f r iendships was maintained over long periods, some spanning nine decades. During her 60 years in Princeton, Barbara actively participated in various civic organizations and the Nassau Presbyterian Church. An honorary member of Princeton University’s Class of 1940, she dabbled in real estate in the 1970s and 80s. Barbara’s husband of 42 years died in 1989. She is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law; Joan Ellis Swanson (Ted) of Lynchburg, Va., and Julie Ellis Williams (Ray) of Ashland Va. She is also survived by two grandsons, Clayton Williams of San Francisco, Calif; Kirk Williams of Boulder, Colo.; and grand-dog Bella. A memorial service and celebration of her life took place in Nassau Presbyterian Church Chapel in Princeton, Friday, March 4 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, Barbara would want those who knew her to share laughter and time with loved ones. Contributions in her memory may be made to Meals on Wheels or a charity of your choice. ———

The New York Times was her favorite paper, and the news and a martini at 5 p.m. was her favorite ritual. Being a Democrat, politics was often a topic of conversation with her close friends, many of whom she had from high school, college, career, and social life. Daughter of the late Edwin S. Howe and Katherine (Monahan) Howe, she is survived by her son Peter D. Spagnoli; Ex-husband Paul D. Spagnoli, Jr.; brother, John Howe; and three grandchildren, Jinmee, Oliver, and Sullivan Spagnoli.

Janet Elizabeth Howe

Janet Elizabeth Howe, 83, of Princeton died Monday, February 29, 2016 at the Merwick Care Center. Born in Baltimore, Md. on July 4, 1933, Janet was a resident of Princeton for over 49 years. Janet had a long and rewarding professional career, which included working at Ballantine Cashmere Sweaters, N.Y., Lord & Taylor, N.Y., Commodities Corporation, Princeton, and HIP of N.Y, Drexel Burnham Lambert, N.Y., and Johnson & Johnson, Skillman. Janet also volunteered at Princeton Project 55 and was a founding member of the Carnegie Lake Rowing Association. Janet was an avid New

Richard Elden Richard Edward Elden, 93, passed away peacefully at home on March 3, 2016. Dick lived in Princeton for 51 years before moving to Skillman in 2014. The son of Howard Edward Elden, executive vice president of Dunlop, and Mary Horton Elden, a pharmacist from Ovid, N.Y., Dick was born in Seneca Falls,

N.Y. He grew up in Buffalo, N.Y. with his parents and his older brother Howard S. Elden, who predeceased him in 2003. A gifted mathematician, he attended Bennett High School, earning the highest score in the state of New York on the 1940 Regents exam, and graduated as a chemistry major and math minor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1944, where he also enjoyed crewing in sailboats on Boston’s back bay. After graduating from MIT, he went to work at Columbia University to work on a “Secret War Project,” which turned out to be the Manhattan Project. Although the goal of this work was never revealed to him and his coworkers (or even their supervisors), he quickly figured out that they were trying to use gaseous diffusion to enrich uranium to make an atomic bomb. He served in the Navy during World War II, but was prohibited from leaving the U.S. because of his knowledge of the top-secret project. Instead he was stationed in the Wirephoto Division in the Navy Department Building in Washington, D.C, and decades later enjoyed recounting that he saw the photo of the Bikini Bomb Test before President Truman did. After the war, he worked at Becco Chemical, earned a Masters Degree in chemistry from the University of Washington, and completed the coursework for his PhD. He became the manager of the FMC Corporation plant in Vancouver, Washington. He met Laurel Jean “Lolly” Pithoud on a blind date in Portland, Oregon. He and L olly, who pre dece as ed him in 1988, were married in September, 1955. He worked at FMC Princeton from 1963 until his retirement. In 1980 he became a patent attorney, attending law school at night at Seton

Hall University while working full-time at FMC. He prosecuted 59 patents for FMC and argued before the U.S. Patent Court in Washington, D.C. After he retired in 1994, he volunteered for two decades as a courier at Princeton Medical Center. He was a Renaissance man: a creative, innovative, and open-minded thinker who enjoyed intellectual and hands-on activities. He taught Lolly how to cook and was so proud that she surpassed his ability. His c h o c ol ate m o u s s e c a ke was the preferred dessert at every family event. He enjoyed the Sunday Times crossword puzzle and the games of bridge, cribbage, and pinochle. He played golf and loved the beach. He designed and built furniture, caned chairs, made jam, invented things, sang in choirs, rode his bicycle to work, jogged, and was an avid gardener. He knew German and Russian in addition to PASCAL, COBOL, and Basic, and wrote emails to his children and grandchildren in the areas of history, math, and science. Tracing the family genealogy was an interesting quest, from present day back to 1066. He was a member of All Saints Church in Princeton. He is survived by four children: Jennifer L. Elden Mischner, Dr. Lisa M. Elden, Christopher E. Elden, AIA, and Mar y Rebecca Hutchins, t h e i r s p o u s e s, a n d te n grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 5 p.m. on March 19, 2016 at All Saints’ Church, 16 All Saints’ Road, Princeton, NJ 08540. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Princeton Hospice, 88 Princeton Hightstow n Road, Su ite 202, Princeton Junction, NJ 08550 or online at www. princetonhcs.org.

Stuart VanVranken Willson Jr. Stuart VanVranken Willson Jr., who was born on April 25, 1931 and was a long-time resident of Princeton, died peacefully at home on March 2, 2016, of natural causes. He was 84 years old. Stuart was the beloved husband of Amelia Murchio Willson, to whom he was married for more than 25 years. He was born in La Crosse, Minnesota, the youngest child of the late Marie Carlson and Stuart Willson, Sr., who was the CEO of the Northern States Power Company, Minnesota’s largest electric utility. The Willson family moved to Montev ideo and then Faribault, Minnesota, where Stuart became the Minnesota state high school golf champion, won Fuller Brush Company sales awards while still a teenager, and graduated as high school class valedictorian. He worked as a ditch digger during school summer breaks, a job he said taught him the importance of a good education, which he pursued at Yale. During

his freshman year there, the Willsons relocated to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Stuart spent his summers home working on the Great Lakes ore carriers, ferrying coal across Lake Michigan. After graduating with an engineering degree from Yale and an MBA from the Harvard Business School, Stuart became a direct commission officer in the U.S. Army. Envisioning a posting abroad for himself, he was instead posted to Fort Dix, New Jersey. His disappointment with his posting was short lived. As a young lieutenant he was responsible for the payroll of the entire base, and he developed lifelong friendships with other finance officers. Those years of Army service gave him responsibilities and opportunities almost unknown to someone in his early 20s. He thrived and looked back on those years as some of the most formative of his professional life. A f ter being honorably discharged from the Army, Stuart began his business career as an engineer but eventually recognized his professional calling was in sales. He joined Princeton’s CUH2A, and with a small group of partners, built it into what became New Jersey’s second largest science and technology architecture and engineering firm, at the time specializing in architecture for pharmaceutical research and manufacturing. After retiring from CUH2A, Stuart became a sales executive for the Philadelphia firm of Kling Stubbins, from which he retired in 2013. An avid golfer, he was a member of Springdale for

many years and eventually joined Bedens Brook. He won a number of club championships during those years. In 1990 when he married his second wife Amelia, a technology strategist from Manhattan, he taught her to golf, and they often played 9 holes together after work. She and a friend witnessed his hole in one on the 9th at Springdale. Stuart was also a member of the Nassau Gun Club for many years and for several years was also a member of the Log Cabin Gun Club. He hunted in Botswana with Harr y Selby, one of the great hunters of his day. He is survived by Amelia, his daughter Wylie from his first marriage to Rosalie Richards of Princeton, his sister Joan Carver of Kalamazoo, and five nieces and nephews and their children from the Willson family. He is survived by five sisters-in-law and five brothers-in-law and their children from the Murchio family. Stuart was predeceased by his son, Stuart Willson III, and by his sister Sally LaPierre of Wichita. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Trinity Episcopal Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton. The interment will be private. Since flowers are not appropriate during the Lenten season, anyone who would wish to have sent flowers might like to make a contribution to Trinity Episcopal Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ 08540. Arrangements are by the Wilson-Apple Funeral Home, 2560 Pennington Road, Pennington. Condolences are welcome at www. wilsonapple.com.

BUYERS: SOMETIMES, BEING WILLING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS CAN YIELD GREAT DEALS If you plan on buying a home this spring, you have a lot of choices to make. Being ready to make compromises in one or more of these three key areas can result in a great deal:

♦ Price: If you can afford it, sometimes increasing your budget even just a small amount can open up the range of possibilities. Lowering your down payment and taking on PMI is one option. Just don't overestimate how much you can really afford. ♦ Location: Unless you're a turtle, you can't pick up your home and move it to a more desirable location – so this is perhaps the biggest concession. But if you're willing to live in a location that has fewer perks, you'll find you have a lot more homes to choose from at prices that are better suited to your budget. ♦ Condition: Some condition issues can be handled with a few cosmetic improvements; others require extensive renovations or repairs. Know your limits and how far you're prepared to go to save some cash. Depending on how much you're willing and able to handle, you could score a real diamond in the rough. Most importantly, start working with an agent now to make sure you have the greatest selection of homes when the market heats up in just a few weeks.
