Town Wants Public Input for Parking Study; Workshop April 19 Princeton has hired a consultant to undertake a parking study, and input from the public is a key component of the project. On Wednesday, April 19, members of the community are invited to attend a workshop and share views about how to solve the downtown area’s ongoing parking issues. The focus includes making parking more available, and deciding how much to charge and in which locations. Residents can take an online survey, attend public events, or send written comments about changes they would like to see implemented. “I encourage everyone in the community to participate in the process and make their concerns and ideas known,” said Mayor Liz Lempert in a press release. “Changes to Princeton’s downtown parking will be most successful with support and input from all those who are impacted.” Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc., a Boston-based transportation planning firm, is in charge of the study. The idea is to find new solutions “with the goal of maintaining the economic diversity, vibrancy, quality of life, and character of the town,” reads the release. The study area outlined on the town’s website runs north to south from Birch Avenue to the bottom of University Place, and west to east from Library Place to Linden Lane, with downtown neighborhoods in between. The main focus is “the availability of parking and the duration of parking,” said Municipal Land Use Engineer Jack West. “There are a number of ways of looking at that. You can do it by rate, by time allowed at each meter. And you have to figure out how to deal not just with customers who come to town, but to employees who work in town and need to park.” The consulting firm intends to analyze the town’s parking demands as they currently exist before coming up with recommendations about parking management, time limits, permits, technology, pricing, and enforcement. Also targeted are future parking needs, parking for commuter rail users, parking impacts on residential neighborhoods near the downtown business district; and bicycling, walking, and wayfinding opportunities. Residents, workers, business owners, Continued on Page 8

Lottery Helps Charter School Answer Critics

Amidst legal challenges and widespread conflict over expansion plans, the Princeton Charter School (PCS) is moving forward with a record number of applicants for admission and a weighted lottery that is expanding its population of economically-disadvantaged students. According to Head of School Larry Patton, 320 students entered the lottery for 96 available places, a 25 percent rise in the number of Princeton students registering for the lottery. Nine of the available seats were awarded to economicallydisadvantaged students. Last year 260 Princeton students registered for the lottery, and over the past five years there has been an average of 262 per year. An additional 91 out-of-district students applied for admission to PCS this year. “This enthusiastic response is a clear indication of parental demand and support for the outstanding educational opportunities PCS offers to Princeton children,” Mr. Patton said. “We received applicants from all across Princeton, and our new weighted lottery system and extensive outreach efforts worked to improve diversity at PCS.” The PCS plan to add 76 more students

was approved by the New Jersey Acting Commissioner of Education on March 1, but the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) have filed an appeal of the decision, and both PCS and PPS face law suits over alleged violations the open public meeting act [The Sunshine Law]. Criticism of the PCS expansion has focused on both the “devastating” financial impact on the district and the hasty, undemocratic application process, according to PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane, as well as the relative lack of

diversity in the PCS student population. Princeton Town Council also approved a resolution in opposition to the proposed expansion. In its outreach efforts PCS delivered admissions materials and lottery registration forms to local nursery schools and housing developments with new and/or affordable housing units; advertised in local media; held two open houses at PCS; held eight information Continued on Page 10

P.U. Acceptance Rate at Record Low; Local HS Seniors Weigh Options Accepted? Rejected? Wait listed? With college letters now in hand, many high school seniors will be making decisions by May 1. “Ivy Day” was March 30 for many college letters to be sent, and acceptance rates were down from last year at six of eight Ivy League colleges. Princeton University accepted just 6.1 percent of its record 31,056 applicants for next fall’s freshman class, down from 6.46 percent last year. Princeton has offered admission to 1,890 students, 770 in December

through early action, with 1,308 expected to matriculate in the class of 2021. Among the Ivies, only Harvard at 5.2 percent and Columbia at 5.8 percent had lower acceptance rates. Despite the increasing competition for admission to the most selective schools, Princeton High School (PHS) guidance counselor Patti Lieberman noted, “We’re finding the usual number getting into the most competitive schools.” But, she added, “There are more students applying, Continued on Page 14

INSPIRING FAITH IN YOUNG ADULTS: Princeton Theological Seminary’s Zoe Project is geared toward helping 12 congregations better understand the needs of those in their 20s.

Twelve Area Churches Selected For Young Adult Initiative Project

When it comes to millennials, religious faith isn’t necessarily a priority. But young adults have ideas, interests, and perceptions that are inherently spiritual, according to proponents of a program designed to encourage twentysomethings to examine and embrace their faith.

The Zoe Project, a threeyear in it iat ive lau nched by Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS), is granting $20,000 to 12 churches within a 100-mile radius of Princeton. The aim is to help these religious institutions better understand the priorities of young people while simultaneously gaining insight from their perspectives.

A total of 111 congregations applied for the 12 grants. “We were looking for a mix of different kinds of churches,” Ms. Dean said. “We didn’t want all suburban white churches like you might find around Princeton. We tried to get representatives from different areas, with different sizes and constituencies. So we’ve got some from inner cities like Philadelphia and Trenton.” The applicants needed to demonstrate a serious interest in working with young adults, “so it wasn’t just a flash in the pan,” Ms. Dean said. “It also helped if they “ ‘Zoe’ means ‘new life’ in had reached out to us in Greek,” said Kenda Creasy Continued on Next Page Dean, the Mar y D. Synnott Professor of Youth, Church, and Culture at PTS. “The idea here was to help these congregations learn from young adults in ways that would be life-giving for them [the congregations]. We’re hoping we can kind of flip the model a bit, so that instead of assuming young adults will come to them, the congregations will go to where they are, see what they can learn from them, and serve as champions in CheCk out new produCts by their communities.” PTS is one of 12 seminaries that were invited by The Lilly Endowment, a philanthropic foundation, to serve as “innovation hubs” for the project. “We have a long track record of doing work with youth and the young adult ministry,” Ms. Dean said. “We were one of the first seminaries to focus part of our curriculum on young adults. They invited us to imagine what would work best for where we sit geographically and in the general conversation, and to design our own thing.” Among the 12 congreg at i on s ch o s e n for t h e $20,000 awards are Graceway Presbyterian Church in Skillman, Union Baptist Church in Trenton, Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church in www.princetonmagazinestore.com Philadelphia, and The Mark Montclair - St. Marks United Methodist Church in Montclair. Each of the congregations is asked to name five leaders, or “Zoe Fellows,” at least half of whom are young people. A coach is provided, along with a camera crew to document the project. An Online Storytelling Festival is planned to celebrate and share each group’s experiences.

other ways, to suggest that they had enough infrastructure to handle the grant. It was heartbreaking that we had to say no to so many.” Each congregation will be asked to make a map identif ying the places where young adults in their area gather. “If you look around Princeton, for example, you don’t have to look very far,” Ms. Dean said. “A lot of young adults are interested in sustainable agriculture, the arts, media, and various forms of the sharing economy. Churches tend not to be so active in those kinds of areas. Maybe we should get with the program and learn what’s going on in those par ts of our community, and understand why those places are meaningful for young people.” Churches have to be convinced to cultivate young adults, rather than the other way around, those behind the project believe. “Figure out what they are doing that’s meaningful and what we can offer to help them,” Ms. Dean said. “We should say, ‘You’ve got gifts. The gifts that you have help us see God more clearly. So how is it we can help you to leverage those gifts for the good of our community?’ ” —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“What does ‘Lead Like a Girl’ mean to you?” (Asked at Saturday’s #LEADLIKEAGIRL event at Stuart Country Day School) (Photographs by Emily Reeves)

“‘Lead Like a Girl’ to me is being confident, being sure of yourself and acting in a way that you can be bold and not let anyone deter you or tell you otherwise.” —Rakia Reynolds, Princeton

“To ‘Lead Like a Girl’ means to lead with authenticity and to lead with bravery without fear of failure.” —Christina Kosyla, Lawrenceville, teacher at Stuart

Michelle: “‘Lead Like a Girl’ means empowering our girls, putting them up front and center. I think for too long girls have been dismissed in so many areas that they can be powerful and strong. I know that when girls are empowered their limitations are endless.” Georgia: “Girls lead the world.” —Michelle Dowling, head of Early Childhood and Lower School at Stuart, Skillman with Georgia Glanton, Stuart student, Princeton

Veronica: “It means doing the most you can do in the moment and also over a period of time. Whatever that means to you. Not everyone has the same advantage, but when in the moment, it is whatever you can do.” Kadance: “Do what you want to do, even if people say you can’t do it.” —Veronica Robinson with daughter Kadance, Kendall Park

Kate: “To me, ‘Lead Like a Girl’ means to being able to show my daughter that she can do anything that she wants to and to show her different areas in STEM. She can try anything, and there are no limits to what she can accomplish as a girl.” Sophie: “‘Lead Like a Girl’ to me means to do science.” —Kate Bogumil, Stuart alumna with daughter Sophie, a Stuart student, Princeton

Princeton Seminary Facing Financial Challenges P r i nce ton T h eolo g ic a l Seminary (PTS) is considering a substantial reduction of its student body — by 30 to 40 percent — for a period of eight to ten years. Citing projected lower market returns in coming years, the 205-year-old institution is studying ways to cut costs, according to a letter from PTS President Craig Barnes to the Seminary community dated February 20, 2017. “As you may know, our endowment provides nearly 70 percent of the annual income for our operating budget,” the letter reads. “This means that changes in market conditions can have a direct and significant impact upon our annual budget. Our invest-

ment advisors are projecting lower market returns in the coming years that could compromise our long-term financial health if we do not make significant changes now in the amount we spend each year from the endowment’s income (called the ‘endowment draw’).” The letter goes on to say that the board of trustees has a goal of reducing the rate of the endowment draw from 4.89 percent to no more than 3.6 percent over the next several years. That is equivalent to $13 million each year from the current operating budget of $50 million. “That is a particularly challenging goal since we are already spending one percent of the

draw paying for construction debt,” continues Mr. Barnes, who has been president of PTS since October 2013. In 2014, the Seminary opened a new, lavish library, replacing the Speer Library that stood in its place. The three-story, 92,000-squarefoot building is double the size of its predecessor. A task force and campus master planning group have been studying ways to evaluate school facilities. At their January meeting, the board endorsed studying a proposal that would implement a comprehensive master plan for one campus in Princeton, build apartments on the main campus for married and single students (they

are currently on separate campuses), renovate Hodge and Brown halls to include private bathrooms, replace or renovate the Mackay campus center, and renovate Alexander Hall as an “intellectual commons” with office space for the entire faculty and some administrative departments. The proposal also suggests that the Seminary “monetize the CRW (Charlotte Rachel Wilson) and Witherspoon apartments, while retaining the Tennent-Roberts campus, in order to finance other campus improvements and reduce the endowment draw.” Reducing the size of the student body would also have implications for the PTS workforce, but the letter says that downsizing would be accomplished through normal attrition and reconfiguring

jobs, so “extensive layoffs are not part of this plan.” Mr. Barnes concluded the letter by saying the PTS community would have several opportunities to provide feedback and submit comments. “I want to emphasize that this proposal needs a lot of work before we are certain of its viability, and we welcome your feedback in the process.” Beth DeMauro, PTS director of communications and marketing, said in an email Monday, “The Seminary is in the early stages of long-range planning for its campus and facilities and is exploring various possibilities for enriching our residential model of student formation. As our plans become more concrete we will engage neighbors and community partners at the appropriate time. “Princeton Seminary has been part of the Princeton community for over 200 years and remains committed to being a good neighbor for generations to come. The goal of our planning processes is to be faithful to our mission, ensuring the Seminary’s continued ability to shape current and future generations of servant leaders who will become pastors, chaplains, teachers, missionaries, professionals in the nonprofit or government sectors, and innovators of new forms of ministry in Princeton and across the globe.” —Anne Levin

sessions throughout the community, with Spanish speakers in attendance at most of these meetings and information and applications distributed in English and Spanish; posted flyers around town; created a Facebook campaign with ads in English and Spanish; and reached out to community leaders for support and ideas. “We will continue to work to expand our connections with organizations that can help make us a known choice for families with school-aged children in Princeton,” Mr. Patton said. He further pointed out that the successful lotter y “validates our multi-pronged strategy for increasing our economic diversity by moving our primary entry grade to kindergarten, expanding the number of seats K-2, and weighting our lottery.” He added, “Half of all income-eligible students received a seat and the remaining families are on the wait list for any additional seats that become available between now and September.” Additional seats often become available for wait-listed applicants when families

WWAC Recognizes Volunteers of the Year

The West Windsor Arts Council is fortunate to have the assistance of many giving individuals and each year makes sure they know how much they are appreciated by participating in National Volunteer Appreciation Week, held this year on April 23 to 29. I n a d d it i on to s ay i n g “thank you” to the nearly 100 volunteers who provide their time and energy doing everything from helping at events to serving on the board, the West Windsor Arts Council also awards annual Volunteer of the Year awards to volunteers who go above and beyond in service to the organization. This year, Hetal Mistry and Jennifer Connaughton, both of West Windsor, have been given the Volunteer of the Year award for their exemplary service in support of the arts. “We are so grateful

to them for lending us their talent and effort, for their warmth and enthusiasm, and for all they continue to do for the arts in our community,” said Aylin Green, executive director. Connaughton and Mistry were instrumental in the success of the annual gala fundraiser by turning the West Windsor Arts Center into an artistic jazzy nightclub as part of the theme of a Speakeasy Soirée. The fundraiser raised more than $17,000 in support of the arts and education programs for youth and adults offered by the center. Connaughton is a fashion designer who has been leading the dynamic decorations team for the last three years. She galvanizes other volunteers to get involved and donates many hours in advance of the event to ensure a successful result. Mistry is an artist who volunteers on the exhibition committee and on the decor team along with Connaughton. She is also the committee lead for the upcoming “Dharma in the 21st Century” exhibition, which will be on view at the arts center May 8 to June 23. This exhibition will also support the Clean Ganga Fund.

SAVING THE ANIMALS: February was Pet Rescue Month at Joe Canal’s in Woodbridge and Lawrenceville. Every week, the store provided information on local adoption agencies, and customers were able to donate to such agencies as Pet ResQ Inc., Angel PAWS, Woodbridge Animal Group, NJ Schnauzer Rescue Network, It’s a Ruff Life Rescue, and SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals. Tito’s Handmade Vodka matched every dollar donated by Joe Canal’s customers. A total of $5,000 was donated in the Lawrenceville store, and $2,500 in Woodbridge. The West Windsor Arts Council welcomes members of the community to get involved by becoming a volunteer. For more information, visit www.westwindsorarts. org. ———

Global Warming Has Serious Implications: Thoughts About Its Impact On Our Future

To the Editor: it’s easy to assume the recent renewed advocacy of actions to combat climate change (a euphemism for anthropogenic global warming) means somebody found another money-making scheme. But global warming has serious implications few talk about. Among the reticent are climate scientists who are justifiably circumspect because some reportedly lost their jobs when employers didn’t like their conclusions. So let’s take a look at what some conclusions may hold for our future. in new Jersey, for example, coastal barrier islands will be flooded as the ice in Greenland and Antarctica melts. Based on the geological record, a sea level rise of more than 10 meters is eventually likely, turning Princeton’s canoe rental locations on the canal into saltwater seaports. As the ice in the Arctic melts, the albedo (reflectivity) of that ocean surface declines from about 75 percent to less than 10 percent, the water warms above 38ºF and may release a huge burp of methane (natural gas) from clathrates accumulated on the ocean floor over millions of years. Methane is a greenhouse gas (GHG) much more potent than the primary GHG, carbon dioxide, creating a (bad) positive reinforcing feedback loop. The idea that the town of Princeton can somehow do something to reduce global warming is ludicrous; we can

only prepare for its effects. First, if we cut back our fossil fuel consumption to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions, that fuel will be used by others elsewhere, perhaps even generating electricity for our “environmentally responsible” electric vehicles. Second, there is no proven method of quickly and permanently sequestering great amounts of carbon dioxide. Proposed systems also require large quantities of fossil fuel, generating even more carbon dioxide. Third, the effects of atmospheric GHGs take a long time to peak after their release, more than 30 years in the case of carbon dioxide. From the latter, we can expect that before any worldwide corrective actions bring results, global warming will significantly reduce the human habitat — the land on which food crops can be grown. The sea level rise previously mentioned will inundate and salinize important farming areas such as river deltas around the world. Rising air temperatures will make the American Southwest especially vulnerable. not only will temperatures increase to the point where crops cannot grow in some areas, but the rainfall there may decrease, providing less crop irrigation water. Such a hot drought is an underlying cause of the current unrest in the Middle East. The ensuing famine could occur anywhere, even in new Jersey, and it may be prudent for us to prepare for it. The world population is over seven billion, but the most optimistic learned estimate of the carrying capacity of the Earth, after the exhaustion of fossil fuels, has been two billion people. Global warming will only reduce that carrying capacity. When an animal’s habitat is destroyed, that animal population declines or dies off. Why would this be any different for the human species?

To the Editor: On April 5, my husband and i had the privilege of attending the Paul Robeson lecture at Rutgers and hearing the renowned performer and activist Harry Belafonte in conversation with Robeson’s granddaughter, documentary filmmaker and producer Susan Robeson. Their stories impressed upon me how thoroughly and deliberately Paul Robeson was erased from the public consciousness for his audacity, particularly as a black man, to use his celebrity and international venues to speak out against racism in the United States and colonialism throughout the world. Unfortunately, in Princeton we have also allowed ignorance of Robeson’s life and contributions to persist in his hometown. We need to bring more attention to Paul Robeson in Princeton schools and civic life. Fortunately, the Robeson House of Princeton, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is dedicated to restoring the Robeson house and to publicizing his amazing accomplishments. Our community needs to: 1. Support the Paul Robeson House of Princeton, 112 Witherspoon Street;

2. Attend events celebrating him, like the recent April 9 birthday commemoration at the Arts Council; 3. Emphasize his biography, performances, and writings in the Princeton schools, especially in Princeton and United States history classes. Princeton should be proud to have Paul Robeson as a native son. Acknowledging the mistreatment of the man and his family needs to be part of the town’s and the nation’s truth and reconciliation efforts in coming to terms with racism. Honoring his courage and resolution must be part of our celebration. linDA OPPEnHEiM not in Our Town

Resident Offers Advice to the Parents Of Three Boys Who Threw Rocks at Her

To the Editor: To the parents of the three boys that threw rocks at me this morning at the PU stadium: Please, do not be friends with your children. Know where they are going and who they are spending time with. Take their computers out of their bedrooms. Check their backpacks and purses often. Friend them on social media, and check their messages and photos frequently. Demand their respect for others. Spy, yes, spy on them. Be their parents; they have enough friends. And by all means, make them take the PARCC test for practice if nothing else. Otherwise, they may end up back in the stadium throwing rocks for a lack of anything better to do.

Dav id Kazanjian and Zahid Chaudhary will be discussing Mr. Kazanjian’s book The Brink of Freedom : Improvising Life in the 19th Century Atlantic World (Duke Univ. Press $26.95) at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, April 13 at 6 p.m. In The Brink of Freedom, Dav id Kazanjian r e v i s e s 19 t h - c e n t u r y conceptions of freedom by examining the ways black settler colonists in Liberia and Mayan rebels in Yucatán imagined how to live freely. He will be joined by Mr. Chaudhary, who specializes in postcolonial studies. Fred Moten, author of In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition, says, “The Atlantic world exceeds itself when David Kazanjian sounds its everyday archives of futurity and f ug it iv it y, show i ng u s that the transformation of how we do things, of how little and how much we’re willing to take, of how we come to imagine the materiality of our own transverse earthliness, is the making of history. Kazanjian discovers and extends the poetics of that making at The Brink of Freedom. Who could ask for anything more?” Focusing on colonial and early national Liberia and the Caste War of Yucatán, Mr. Kazanjian interprets letters from black settlers in apposition to letters and literature from Mayan rebels and their Creole antagonists. He reads these overlooked, multilingual archives not for their descriptive content, but for how they unsettle and recast liberal forms of freedom within global systems of racial capitalism. David Kazanjian is profe s s or of E nglish and comparative literature at the University of Pennsylvania and the author

New York Times science reporter Gina Kolata and longtime medical correspondent for ABC News Nancy Snyderman w ill be talking about Ms. Kolata’s new book Mercies in Disguise: A Story of Hope, a Family’s Genetic Destiny, and the Science that Rescued Them (St. Martin’s $25.99) at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, April 19 at 6 p.m. “Mercies in Disguise is an extraordinary medical mystery, scientific history and, above all, human drama,” says Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind. “Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. Then, when I finished it, I couldn’t stop thinking about the Baxleys and the choices they faced.” According to Dr. Abraham Verghese, author of the New York Times bestseller Cutting for Stone, “Mercies in Disguise is the true story of one family’s struggle with a rare and deadly inherited illness. Gina Kolata’s prose brings to life the science as well as the maverick scientists who solved the riddle. When a blood test can now predict who is destined to be an invalid while still young, and who is spared, we agonize with family members over whether we’d want such knowledge.” Gina Kolata has written several books, including Flu, and edited collections of popular science writing. Physician Nancy Snyderman is the author of Diet Myths that Keep Us Fat and Girl in the Mirror: Mothers and Daughters in the Years of Adolescence. ———

Flaubert as a political reactionary and aloof resident in an ivory tower.” In his new book, Peter Brooks uses letters between Flaubert and his novelist friend and confidante George Sand to tell the story of Flaubert and his work, exploring his political commitments and his understanding of war, occupation, insurrection, and bloody political repression. Peter Brooks is Sterling Professor Emeritus of comparative literature at Yale University. The author of several critically acclaimed books, including Reading for the Plot, Troubling Confessions: Speaking Guilt in Law and Literature, and Enigmas of Identity, he currently teaches comparat ive literat ure at Princeton University.

and there are strong students who have been wait-listed rather than accepted.” Emphasizing the importance of factors other than the prestige of the particular college, Ms. Lieberman said, “Some students are disappointed, but they don’t realize how amazing their options are. They’ll figure that out in about a week.” She continued, “My message to these students would be: ‘The name of the college does not define your success. You will determine that.’ Sometimes they need to stop and consider that. Often students who were initially disappointed will come back in the fall and tell me how wonderful their college is.” Ms. Lieberman observed, however, that despite the recent emphasis, at PHS and elsewhere, on “turning back the tide” of overly competitive college admissions, “there are still students who are going for just that group of schools with single-digit acceptance numbers.” From the classes of 2012 to 2015, 67 PHS graduates attended Princeton University. Lawrenceville School College Counseling Director Jeffrey Durso-Finley also declined to discuss specific numbers at particular universities, but he emphasized, “Applying to college is as selective and complex as it’s ever been in my 25 years on both sides of the desk.” He noted the increasing competitiveness among colleges. “The hyper-selective schools ( Princeton, Yale, Stanford, etc.) continue their ‘arms race’ to see who can be

the most selective,” he said. “Somehow it’s gotten into the higher education consciousness that the lower your admit rate, then somehow the better the institution you are. And although that’s not a particularly new phenomenon, it feels amplified in the last few years.” The effects of this competitiveness are felt among the less-selective colleges “who want to ‘join the club,’” according to Mr. Durso-Finley, “and are enacting specific admissions policies to boost their matriculation rate, lower their acceptance rate, and maneuver their statistics to shift within college rankings.” He also mentioned that “early admissions plans” are now primary admission tools instead of a way for students to indicate a primary preference or for a college to simply have an advanced deadline. They are now a “powerful enrollment management tool” with some universities “overadmitting” in early admissions and leaving few spaces in regular action. At Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, the 37 seniors were admitted to nearly 100 colleges and universities including Georgetown, Stanford, Columbia, Brown, and Princeton, according to College Counselor Robyn Henry. Business programs were particularly popular among Stuart applicants this year, with students admitted to business schools at Boston College, Fordham, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, and Villanova. The applicant pool at Princeton University has more than doubled over the past 14 years, with this year’s

the largest in the University’s history. Of the students offered admission, 50.5 percent are women, 49.5 percent men; 53.4 percent are people of color, including biracial and multiracial; 63.8 percent are from public schools; and 18.9 percent will be the first in their families to attend college. “We believe this year represents the largest number of first-generation college students admitted to Princeton in the modern era,” Dean of Admission Janet Lavin Rapelye said. “This reflects the University’s ongoing commitment to increase the socioeconomic diversity of undergraduates, including those from first-generation and lowincome backgrounds.” The University’s financial aid program provides support to make sure that tuition is affordable for every admitted student, with sixty percent of this year’s freshman class receiving aid and the average grant at $48,000 per year. No student at Princeton is required to take out a loan. The applicant pool included students from 10,274 high schools from 151 countries, with 12,435 of the applicants registering a 4.0 average. Of those accepted 10.7 percent were children of Princeton alumni, and 24.1 percent indicated they wanted to study engineering. In addition to the 1,890 accepted, 1,168 were were offered positions on the wait list. Up to 35 accepted students are expected to defer their enrollment for a year to participate in Princeton’s Bridge Year Program. —Donald Gilpin

Art Mary Pat Christie Unveils Display at Drumthwacket

S h owc a s i n g a s i g n i f i cant era of New Jersey and United States history, First L ady Mar y Pat Chr ist ie unveiled a new display at Drumthwacket entitled “Lincoln and Olden: The President and the Governor.” The presentation focuses on the two acclaimed statesmen, Governor Charles Olden who built Drumthwacket in 1835, and President Abraham Lincoln — both elected to office at a time when the country was on the precipice of Civil War. Part of the Drumthwacket Foundation’s fine arts initiative to highlight exhibits meaningful to

the Garden State’s past and present, this exhibit will run through May 31, 2017. “During my seven years as First Lady, I have had the pleasure to present a diverse array of exhibits at Drumthwacket,” said First Lady Mary Pat Christie. “The donated artifacts that are on display provide a glimpse into New Jersey’s storied history and that of our nation. I’m pleased that the Drumthwacket Foundation has curated this incredible exhibit — one that evokes pride in both our state and our country.” “Lincoln and Olden: The President and the Governor” brings the lives of these two distinguished leaders to life through historic letters, photographs, and artifacts. Together, one would steward a nation and the other a state

through the deadliest war on American soil. Governor Olden extended an invitation to President Lincoln to come to the Trenton State House to speak in front of the legislature on the way to his inauguration in 1861. On display is the letter of response by President-elect Lincoln, accepting the invitation. Also among the collection is a letter written by Governor Olden to President Lincoln, providing his support and faith in Lincoln’s abilities to lead the country. In addition, the letter informs the President that Governor Olden will send troops to defend the North in the Civil War.

“ZEBRA FEATHERS”: This is an acrylic painting by Katherine Inman of Hamilton. It is among 65 works to be displayed at the MCCC Gallery as part of the 2017 “Visual Arts Student Exhibition.” The show runs from April 12 until May 4. The community is invited to an opening reception on April 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. More information is available at www.mccc.edu/gallery.

Said Gallery Director and Professor of Fine Arts Lucas Kelly, “In my opinion, from a professor’s view, the Visual Arts Student Exhibition is the most important exhibition in the Gallery’s season. It is a time for students to showcase and honor the evidence of their efforts. While we appreciate their accomplishments academically and artistically, this is the moment when students take that important step out of the safety of the classroom. Having the confidence to share your work with the public is a major step in becoming a visual arts professional. Having the chance to celebrate that moment with our students is a great privilege.” More information about this and other exhibits at the MCCC Gallery is available at www.mccc.edu/gallery. Directions to the campus and a campus map can be found at www.mccc.edu.

UNTITLED (MISSISSIPPI), 1967: This black-and-white archival print by Julius Lester will be included in “The Black South in the Sixties” photo exhibit at Princeton University that will run from April 14-May 18.

A photo exhibit by Julius Lester, “The Black South in the Sixties,” will open to the public at Princeton University’s Bernstein Gallery in Robertson Hall from April 14 through May 18, 2017. A complementing panel discussion and reception will be held April 20 at 4:30 p.m. in Bowl 016 beside the gallery. It will be moderated by Stanley N. Katz, lecturer with the rank of professor in public and international affairs at Princeton’s Woodrow

exhibit, panel discussion, and reception are free and open to the public. Julius Lester photo graphed major portions of the black South and the civil rights movement from 1964 to 1968, when he was a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). “Inf luenced by Walker Evans and the photographers of the Farm Security Administration, I set out to document the South as it en-

ideal of freedom that was so fervently believed in was liberation from the obscenity of white racial superiority, and whites needed to be liberated from that as much, if not more, than blacks.” This exhibition draws from the poignant images of black people and their surroundings that he shot in his capacity as photographer for SNCC. The exhibition includes a set of Lester’s portraits of young civil rights work-

ers of that era, both famous and less well-known. There are pictures of John Lewis, Julian Bond, Stokely Carmichael, and Andrew Young, as well as Fannie Lou Hamer, “the heart and soul of the civil rights movement in Mississippi.” And others “whose names never made the newspapers …. But they transformed this country by how they lived their lives, by how they risked their lives.” The Bernstein Gallery is located in Robertson Hall’s Bernstein Lobby and is free and open to the public. Hours during the academic year are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Summer hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For appointments on weekends, call either Kate Somers at (609) 497-2441 or Mary Hamill at (609) 454-3720.

Music and Theater Sitar Player Anoushka Shankar Dazzles at McCarter Theatre

On Thursday, Grammynominated sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar presented a concert of hindustani music to a rapt full house at the McCarter Theatre’s Matthews auditorium. Ms. Shankar’s current tour centers on material from her 2015 album Home. The strictly Indian classical nature of the compositions marks a return of sorts for Ms. Shankar, whose preceding four studio albums had integrated elements of many disparate genres and musical traditions. Like her father, the world-renowned late Ravi Shankar, Anoushka Shankar is a champion of both her instrument and its versatility. Ms. Shankar’s concert in Princeton was bookended by evening ragas. In the first section of these — the alap — Ms. Shankar improvised passages that served in part to introduce listeners to the melodic nuances and char-

acteristic phrases of the particular raga, unaccompanied except for the drone of the of the two tanpuras supporting her. In part due to the poor quality of many recordings, listeners tend to think of the sitar as possessing a harsh tone, but Ms. Shankar coaxed a soaring, full sonority from her instrument: the sharp attack of her notes quickly yielded to honeyed melismas, clear through a cloud of shimmering resonance. Her phrasing in the alap sections was lyrical and free of any strict tempo. These sections flowed seamlessly into jod sections, in which M s . S h a n k a r ’s p l a y i n g gained a distinct rhythmic pulse and a greater sense of urgency, before moving to concluding gat sections. The gats focused on composed themes interspersed with Ms. Shankar’s improvised variations, and these sections also included her percussionists. The dramatic

arc of both pieces was completely spellbinding in its effect: they became increasingly fuller, faster, and more complex until the works’ frenzied conclusions, drawing audience and performers both into a heady focus. For the evening’s second piece, Ms. S ha n kar s at flanked by her formidable ensemble, arranged in visual and stereophonic symmetry around her: tabla and mridangam percussionists on the outside ( Ojas Adhiya and Pirashanna Thevarajah, respectively), shehnai (a piercing, oboe-like instrument) and bansuri (bamboo flute) to their inside (Sanjeev Shankar and Ravichandra Kulur), and the two tanpuras on the inside (Kenji Ota and a young woman not included in the program on bass tanpura), closest to her. Ms. Shankar was a gracious ensemble leader, readily sharing the spotlight with her fellow musicians, prioritizing the group’s cohesion

over her own playing. Often, sitar and the two wind instruments joined in perfect melodic unison, or in close harmony, limning a scintillating melodic filigree. At one point in the piece, Mr. Kulur put down his flute and and picked up a khanjira (a tambourine-like South Indian instrument), and began a percussive joust with Mr. Adhiya and Mr. Thevarajah that was one of the evening’s high points. Each sought to outdo the last in his virtuosity, hands grazing head of his drums like the fluttering of a bird’s wings, before, in an instant, the

next took over in a further showcase of nuance, speed, and rhythmical mastery. The three went round and round, in ever-quickening circles — eventually trading off only a few notes at each turn — before the pace relaxed once again and the full ensemble came back in. Throughout the evening, Ms. Shankar lead her group with grace and good humor, beaming and nodding to her fellow musicians, cajoling them to ever-greater

musical intensity, laughing and exclaiming aloud after moments of particular brilliance. Such moments were plentiful, and the concert as a whole was a joy to attend. With luck, Anoushka Shankar will make many returns to the Princeton area.

P r i n c e to n Re c or d E xchange (PREX) will be celebrating the 10th annual National Record Store Day on Saturday, April 22. Record Store Day’s purpose is to celebrate the culture of the independentlyowned record store, and it has been growing in popularity every year. On this day, hundreds of limited-edition titles are sold exclusively at record stores like Princeton Record Exchange, and special music events are held all over the country. This year’s slate of releases features a wide spread of genres. Classic rock and indie-rock comprise the majority but there are also rap, soul, jazz, techno, country, folk, metal titles, and more.

These pieces are often on color vinyl, are numbered, on heavy 180-gram vinyl, or otherwise different from the standard issues. Some of the highlights include: Bruce Springsteen’s Hammersmith Odeon London ‘75, a four LP box set; Grateful Dead’s P.N.E. Garden Auditorium, Vancouver, Canada 7/29/66, a two LP set from their first tour outside the country; Pink Floyd’s Interstellar Overdrive, a 12” single featuring an unreleased 15-minute mono mix from 1966; and U2’s Red Hall Mining Town, a 12” picture disc of an unreleased Steve Lillywhite remix. On the quirkier side, there is a reissue of avant-garde composer Moondog’s classic self-titled 1969 album on white vinyl; Ken Kesey’s

STANDUP MAGICIAN: Derek Hughes is a unique voice in the art of modern magic. He has performed his magic on MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Penn & Teller’s “Fool Us” on CW, and is a creative producer on TRUtv’s hit magic series, “The Carbonaro Effect.” Most recently, he was a finalist on season 10 of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” Hughes will perform on McCarter Theatre’s Berlind stage on Monday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at www.mccarter. org, by phone at (609) 258-2787, or in person at the McCarter ticket office, located at 91 University Place in Princeton.

The Acid Test, originally released in 1966 in a pressing of less than 500; and a Star Wars 40 th anniversary edition Crosley Cruiser turntable. A complete list can be found on Record Store Day’s web site. As part of the celebration, there will be free coffee for the first 50 people in line courtesy of D’Angelo Italian Market. Dogfish Head beer, the “official” beer of RSD, has a special release for the day, Beer to Drink Music to ‘17. That will be featured, along with other Dogfish Head brews, at nearby pub The Alchemist & Barrister starting at 3 p.m., and at Public liquor store where there will be a tasting from 4 to 6 p.m. Posters and swag will be given away at those locations and the store. To cap off the day, Princeton local favorite Chris Harford and His Band of Changes will have an instore show at 6 p.m. The store opens at 10 a.m., but customers line up much earlier than that to maximize their chances of getting the rarer titles. Last year, several hundred people were waiting at opening. There was a real sense of fun and camaraderie as likeminded folks came out to support the store and hope for their top picks of the limited titles. With the everincreasing base of vinyl fans out there, Princeton Record Exchange trusts the 10 th annual Record Store Day will be the biggest yet. P r i n c e to n Re c or d E xchange is located at 20 S out h Tu la n e S t re e t i n downtown Princeton.

Life, Death, and Cinema: Harry Baur Contains Multitudes in “Les Miserables”

his sound film debut at 50, around the same age as Valjean’s when he’s released after 19 years hard labor as a galley slave. According to the notes accompanying the Criterion Collection DVD of Raymond Bernard’s almost-five-hour-long 1934 Les Misérables, the key to the movie’s extraordinary popularity in France was “the brilliant Baur, who embodies cinema’s most unsentimentalized incarnation of Valjean” and “carries the film on his brawny shoulders, his face transforming gradually from the scowl of a convict to the benevolent smile of a loving father.” When Baur appears as the ex-convict Jean Valjean in the opening scenes of Bernard’s film (and, in effect, Victor Hugo’s novel), you don’t need paragraphs or even pages of heightened prose to imag ine the world of misery this man has been through. It’s there to wonder over and gaze i nto as he looms in the doorway of the Bishop’s residence looking for food and s h e l te r. I n Hugo’s novel, Valjean is “a gallows bird with a terrible f a c e” w h o appears at the Bishop’s door with a “r o u g h , audacious, wear y, and violent expression in his eyes.” Baur’s massively ravaged countenance and the towering devastation of his presence express all that and more; to the Bishop’s terrified sister, he’s “hideous … a sinister apparition.” Meanwhile Baur makes his deep-set eyes convey the thought process described at length in Hugo’s narrative, as in the moments before Valjean makes off with the Bishop’s silverware: “There was a sort of dark confusion in his brain. His memories … mingled confusedly, losing their proper forms, becoming disproportionately large, then suddenly disappearing.” While the reader receives a detailed account of the theft, it’s a fait accompli in the film as the gendarmes march Valjean back to face his apparent victim. Baur’s posture, his vast stricken face as he stands there before his benefactor says everything we need to know. As he suffers the sublime magna-

nimity of the Bishop’s lie, as he tells the gendarmes, “I gave him the silver,” Baur’s Valjean remains stupefied. Only when the Bishop presents him with the pair of silver candlesticks he’d coveted does Valjean begin to fathom this gift of grace and faith, staring at the Bishop with, in Hugo’s words, “an expression which no human tongue can render any account of”; when the candlesticks are actually placed in his hand, he’s “trembling in every limb.” With Baur’s Jean Valjean, there’s no need for conventional phrases for inexpressible emotion. You can feel it happening to him as he gazes into the Bishop’s eyes, as if staring into the sun. A lesser film would have Valjean kneeling or kissing the man’s hand, or offering devoted thanks as he does in the novel when he understands that the Bishop means to give him food and a bed. In the film, Valjean’s primally eloquent stupefaction is sustained right up to the moment the Bishop sends him on his way, urging him to “use this silver to b e com e an honest man.” What Baur is doing in his scenes with the Bishop is giving expression to the plural implications of the title, making us know that this is more than one man’s story, it’s about not one “miserable,” but “les miserables.” Baur contains multitudes, suggesting, as Steiger said, “a universe around himself,” and though this is only the beginning of the story, the impression resonates right through to the end when he dons workman’s clothes for the rescue of Cosette’s beloved Marius, carrying the wounded man on his shoulders through the sewers of Paris, in filth up to his chin, merged with his human burden like some mythical creature emerging from the mire. Both times Valjean is not one man but all men, all France. Given the popularity of the film, it’s not surprising that Baur’s death inspired an extraordinary demonstration of anti-German feeling among the thousands who attended his funeral. They were celebrating the spirit of Jean Valjean in Harry Baur.

NE COM XT IN WE G EK !

very week I spin the online roulette wheel. Round and round it goes and where it stops I always know because what I’m metaphorically spinning is the date of next week’s column. The real game of chance begins with the names that show up on that date, actors, writers, artists, major celebrities, world, or national events. While the second spin sometimes leads nowhere, this week’s number brought up two actors: France’s Harry Baur, who was born on April 12, 1880 and died mysteriously in 1943; and Homeland star Claire Danes, who was born in Manhattan on April 12, 1979, almost exactly 100 years after the man who played the most memorable Jean Valjean came into the world. I might have passed Baur by had I not recently viewed five of his films, all from the 1930s. Once you’ve seen Harry Baur doing what he so formidably does, there’s no way you can pass him by. It would be like trying to get around a gale-force wind. Nor is it easy to pass by Claire Danes, alias Carrie Mathison, whose famously expressive face is a force of nature in itself. This past Sunday she wrapped up the sixth season of Homeland with the nation sinking into a level of chaos that makes the Trump presidency look like a walk in the park. The real winnings of this weekly gamble come as soon as you begin looking more closely at the people who turn up on the second spin: finding out, for instance, that Claire Danes played Cosette to Liam Neesen’s Jean Valjean in the 1998 Bille August version of Les Misérables. Look deeper into Baur (and he has depths not to be believed) and you discover a devoted fan in Oscar Winner Rod Steiger (19252002), who was born, as it happens, on April 14. Steiger’s way of describing the magnitude of his favorite actor’s Jean Valjean was to say he could “stand still and make a universe around himself.” In an interview given after the release of Al Capone (1959), Steiger claimed that the method behind the ferocity of his Capone was to enrage himself by recalling how the Nazis had tortured and murdered Harry Baur. Any discussion of Baur’s career has to take his grim fate into account. In David Thomson’s Biographical Dictionary of Film, Baur is “a great, noble actor” whose story “is the more memorable because of his tragic end.” In Thomson’s simplified and not entirely accurate version, the catastrophe centered on the actor’s Jewish wife and the fact that he made his last film in Germany, where he was arrested, tortured, released, and “found dead” shortly thereafter. Deeper Into Jean Valjean Unlike Jean Valjean, who dies beloved and in bed, Harry Baur died after suffering physical abuse it’s painful to imagine, a casualty of the Occupation; even so, there is an epic Valjeanesque grandeur to Baur’s journey as an actor, transitioning from the stage and silent pictures to make

The Wonderful Boy Of the four Julien Duvivier-directed films starring Baur that I’ve seen, Poil de Carotte (or Carrot Top) is the one that won’t let me alone. This at once lyrical and harrowing film about an embattled child overflowing with life and spirit is lifted into a special cinematic realm by Robert Lynen, the 12-year-old actor whose manic genius infuses the title character. The boy’s given name is François, but everyone calls him Poil de Carotte in varying degrees of affection and dismissal, to the extent that the name becomes a dehumanizing synonym for his miserable lot as the scapegoat in a dysfunctional family ruled by a mother from hell (Catherine Fontenay) and a father (Harry Baur) who has lost sight of his child’s despair. Baur brings the same stature to Msr. Lepic that he brings to Jean Valjean, and there’s emotional magic in the sequence when he finally comprehends his son’s misery and the two bond. After Msr. Lepic becomes mayor, however, the boy feels abandoned as his father is swept up in the town’s celebration of his victory. The final scene, in which Baur rises magnificently to the occasion to save his son from self-destruction, apparently moved a nation, for the film proved to be even more popular than Les Misérables, running for a full year in Paris. In Real Life After a decade of success in the cinema, Robert Lynen joined the Resistance, performing numerous missions before being arrested by the Gestapo in 1943. He was tortured, deported to Germany, and after several months in prison and two escape attempts, he was sentenced to death by a military tribunal and executed, along with 14 other Resistance members, on 1 April 1944 a year and a week after Harry Baur died following his own ordeal at the hands of the SS. he saving grace of cinema is the way it brings back to life two actors gifted with transcendent powers of expression: Lynen’s virtuoso depiction of a boy illuminated by the genius of childhood, full of wild joy and infectious delight, yet able to fall in an instant into seizures of heartbreak and despair. With Baur, the expressive power comes from some inner force, a sort of emotional epicenter. The subject of expressive power brings thoughts of Baur’s birthmate Claire Danes, with her extraordinarily mobile face, so openly acutely expressive that she’s been parodied on Saturday Night Live (“tour de face”) to the point where she’s had to speak up in her defense to those “who are made uncomfortable by uncensored expressions of emotion.” ——— The Criterion Collection DVD of Raymond Bernard’s Les Misérables is available at the Princeton Public Library. Criterion’s Eclipse series 44 Julien Duvivier in the Thirties is a 4-DVD set of films all featuring Harry Baur, among then Poil de Carotte. —Stuart Mitchner

Italian Opera Program At Dorothea’s House

The final program of the 2016-17 season at Dorothea’s House will explore the operatic style known as “bel canto” on Sunday, April 30 at 5 p.m. Conductor Joseph Colaneri, musical director for The Glimmerglass Festival in Cooperstown, N.Y., will present The Art of “Bel Canto” and the Italian Romantic Tradition. Colaneri will discuss the style’s historical roots and works by Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini. In addition to his work with Glimmerglass, Colaneri has served as a member of the Metropolitan Opera conducting roster since 1998. He also serves as artistic director of opera at Mannes School of Music at The New School in New York City. He served as artistic director of the West Australian Opera in Perth from 2012-14. Dorothea’s House is located at 120 John Street. Programs are free and open to the public. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring refreshments to share at the reception following the presentation. Seating is limited and programs frequently fill to capacity. ———

When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Sondheim’s sophisticated score provides the performers a challenge musically and Lapine’s book calls upon the actors to bring to life characters who depart from stereotypical myth. Designers stretch their imaginations in creating the fantastical elements of this magical world. In Heard’s directorial approach, a young girl replaces the old man as narrator, and she begins the journey that brings these iconic storybook characters together in a library where the stories

spring to life from pop-up books. The story then voyages into the woods through a series of doors. As the story moves into what happens “after happily ever after” in the second act and the characters face the outcomes of the choices they have made, this architecture begins to break down and the audience is drawn more deeply into an apocalyptic world where the characters are now refugees in a brutal landscape. Heard sees a clear parallel between the plight of the characters and current world events and draws very sharp contrasts between the first and second acts of the play. “For me, this show is about parents and children, loss of innocence, growing up, and learning,” explains Heard. “The Woods are a place of yearning and adventure, ado-

lescence and growth, magic and transformation, desire and possibility.” “In post-election 2017,” he adds, “I’m especially interested in illuminating the harsh contrast between Jack and his mother’s poverty and Cinderella’s stepsisters’ Kardashian fashion; the Wolf as sexual aggression incarnate; the Giant wreaking havoc like a terrorist or natural disaster; characters fleeing the kingdom as refugees; and the deaths of some of the characters as sudden and horrific.” Professional designers working with Heard to bring his vision to the stage are Miodrag Guberinic designing the costumes and Reid Thompson designing the sets. Thompson has provided scenic design for a number of theater and opera com-

panies including Yale Repertory Company, Berkshire Theater Festival, Ars Nova, Heartbeat Opera, Theater Squared, and Stonybrook Opera. Emily Whitaker, Princeton Class of 2015, serves as music director and conductor. She earned her AB from the department of music as a pianist and a certificate in theater from the Lewis Center for the Arts. The production is part of a spring semester theater/ music theater course that provides students with a rigorous and challenging experience of creating theater under near-professional circumstances. Students work with a professional director, a majority professional design team and stage manager, and either are cast in a role or take on major production

Boheme Opera Company Presents Lively Performance of “Lucia di Lammermoor”

t the time Gaetano Donizetti composed Lucia di Lammermoor, opera was a major form of entertainment in Italy. Composers were masters of melodies, and people expected to hear heroic tenors, virtuosic sopranos, and great Romantic love stories. Lucia di Lammermoor did not disappoint in its original Naples premiere, and this past weekend’s production by Boheme Opera NJ captured the opera’s musical flavor, combined with a hi-tech set design that Donizetti could never have imagined. Boheme Opera’s performance on Friday night at The College of New Jersey’s Kendall Main Stage Theater (the performance was repeated Sunday afternoon) included a cast of young dynamic singers, seasoned performers with leading opera companies worldwide, and artists working their way up through the Boheme Opera performance roster. Boheme Opera has a long history of providing regional singers with performance opportunities and it was clear from this production that these singers have retained a strong commitment and sense of loyalty to the company. Lucia di Lammermoor, based on a book by Sir Walter Scott, takes place in Scotland, and Boheme Opera’s production opened with the sound of the wind off the Scottish moors and a digital representation of Lord Enrico Ashton’s castle, designed by virtual set artist and designer J. Matthew Root. The role of Enrico was sung by baritone Daniel Sutin, a 17-year veteran of Boheme Opera who has recently sung a title role at the Metropolitan Opera. Mr. Sutin possesses a huge voice, clearly a cut above the traditional regional opera performer. His presence onstage was formidable, and his vocal strength was further evidenced by his ability to fit into the duets and trios within the opera, especially the renowned “Sextet” which closed Act II. For decades after the premiere of this opera, the role of Lucia was perceived as a vehicle for sopranos to demonstrate vocal fireworks and dexterity, but as a character, Lucia is so much more. Soprano Dana Pundt, a young award-winning singer who clearly has a great future, found a wide range of facial and emotional expressions in her portrayal of this character, whose dramatic problems seemed to stem from her overly-interfering brother Enrico using her for his own financial gain. Ms. Pundt immediately demonstrated a solid command of the role and its vocal range, showing particular richness in the very high soprano register. Ms. Pundt was also able to sing gracefully, especially in the ornamented second verse of her “Foun-

tain” aria “Quando rapita in estasi” in which she declared her love for Edgardo. Her early arias were elegantly accompanied by harpist Elaine Christy playing in an offstage alcove, a staging that added to the refinement as the audience was often only able to see Ms. Christy’s hands on the harp strings. The showcase of the role of Lucia, as well as that of the opera itself, is the Act II “Mad Scene,” which revolves around Lucia as she copes with having slain the man her brother had arranged for her to marry. One could see bits of potential madness earlier in the opera, but Lucia’s descent came to full fruition as Ms. Pundt entered the stage in a gown covered in blood and nonchalantly sat at the dinner table to help herself to a meal. Unconventionally, the staging of this scene did not include the knife Lucie used as a murder weapon, but Ms. Pundt did not need props as she used the whole stage to baffle the incredulous crowd with a portrayal that looked right out of the worst of 17th century mental bedlam. Tenor Todd Wilander sang the role of Edgardo, Lucia’s love interest, with clear control over the role. Also a veteran of the Metropolitan Opera, Mr. Wilander could easily hold his own vocally against the full orchestra, telling the story well and providing a strong vocal lead with Ms. Pundt and Mr. Sutin. His vocal strength was most apparent in the closing of Act III, in which he carried the scene almost single-handedly. The principal cast was rounded out by bass Martin Hargrove as Raimondo, a character who protected Enrico well, and was often the voice of reason trying to bring calm to a scene. Mr. Hargrove sang with a clean bass sound, especially rich in the lower register, and was crisp in the recitative sections. Soprano Rachel Cetel provided a vocally sound companion to Lucia in the character of Alisa, matching Ms. Pundt well in the “Fountain” scene duets. Conductor Joseph Pucciatti led an orchestra that accompanied the singers well, even if a bit rough on its own interludes. A chorus prepared by Brittany Montoro sang especially fully when toward the front of the stage, but like some of the principal singers, were hard to hear when placed too far back on the stage. oheme Opera NJ is celebrating its 28th season of presenting opera in the region. Given how singers who have been with the company and gone on to great things and have returned to perform for Mercer County audiences, it is clear that artistic loyalty is alive and well in this opera company. —Nancy Plum

Going in Style

Freeman, Arkin, and Caine Co-Star in Remake of Classic Crime Caper

eleased in 1979, the original Going in Style was about three retirees who broke the monotony of their dreary lives by robbing a bank. That critically-acclaimed comedy co-starred George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg. Ordinarily, one would think twice before remaking a classic. However, despite the challenge, Zach Braff (Garden State), decided to try. He had Oscar nominee Theodore Melfi (screenplay for Hidden Figures) write a terrific script that was loosely based on the original movie. He retained the main characters’ names and the basic “bank heist” premise and updated the dialogue and plot to yield a rollicking adventure. Zach also convinced Academy Award-winners Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Alan Arkin to play the leads. Although they are 79, 84, and 83 years old, respectively, they generate an endearing camaraderie, and deliver every punchline with perfect timing. At the point of departure, we find Joe (Caine) in the midst of complaining to an unsympathetic loan officer (Josh Pais) about Williamsburg Savings Bank’s impend-

ing foreclosure on his home when the bank is held-up by a gang of masked men. Later, while talking with his former co-workers Willie (Freeman) and Al (Arkin), Joe realizes that they’ve all fallen prey to the bank’s shady practices that included the bankrupting of the pension fund that they were all dependent upon. The victims decide to take the law into their own hands and conspire to retrieve precisely the amount of money that was “stolen” from them by the bank. Of course, the hold-up proves easier to plan than execute. Fortunately, the threesome are not to be deterred, even after a disastrous dry run attempt at shoplifting at a local supermarket. However, what’s bad for them is great for the audience, and the laughs just keep coming, even through the closing credits. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for profanity, drug use, and suggestive material. Running time: 97 minutes. Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

New Opportunities in Dance and Creative Arts Are Available at The New Pennington Studio

awn Cargiulo, former professional dancer and ow ner of The Pennington Studio for Dance and the Creative Arts, has introduced an exciting new concept for dance and the arts. Combining both, she brings unique opportunities for exploration in creativity for all ages.

IT’S NEW To Us

Opened in the Straube Center, 114 Straube Center Boulevard in Pennington, the studio offers a new di-

rection, and emphasizes the interwoven aspect of all the arts. “In addition to dance, including ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and improvisation, we offer classes in studio art and vocal music, and drawing and painting,” explains Ms. Berman. A for mer profes sional dancer with the internationally-known Momix Dance Company, Ms. Berman received a BA with honors in Dance Theatre from the Laban Centre for Dance and Movement in London. In addition to her years with Momix, she has performed with dance companies in London, Venice, New York,

and Philadelphia. Dance Program Ms. Berman also has a wide range of teaching and organizational experience. She created and directed the dance program for the Mainland Regional High School in Linwood, and directed the dance program at the Middlesex Vocational and Technical High School in East Brunswick. In addition, she has a background in private studio teaching, and has collaborated with many local arts and educational organizations, including the Hopewell Valley Arts Council, The Lawrencev ille School, R ider University, the Arts Council of Princeton, and Princeton Ballet School. “It was always in my head to have my own studio,” says Ms. Berman, who grew up in New Jersey. “I had danced as a child, and my mother had a dance studio in Freehold for many years. So, I knew what it took to do it and make it happen. I am very excited to have my first studio.” Eight highly experienced and professional instructors help the students at the studio, and Ms. Berman also teaches jazz and modern dance. The students range from two-years-old to 50plus and all ages in between. They represent all levels, from beginners to advanced, including some professionals among the adults. Both boys and girls take classes, and Ms. Berman reports that they all love it. “One of our 12-year-old boys takes four and a half hours of ballet, as well as an hour and half of jazz. In the pre-school classes, the parent and child dance together, and the children love this.” Classes are at all levels, and to determine a student’s ability, Ms. Berman looks to their coordination, musicality, flexibility, and discipline. Students are encouraged to try more than one dance discipline, she adds. “For example, ballet students are encouraged to take jazz, modern, etc. The kids are getting great training.”

Awesome Progress “It can be hard at first,” she adds, “but if they commit, they’ll really see progress. It’s just awesome to see their improvement and development. And I also have an awesome staff. I have known them before, and they are the best.” For example, the director of the ballet department is Master Teacher Mary Pat Robertson, former director of the Princeton Ballet School. Ms. Berman’s background in the sophisticated Laban theor y and her years of working in the public school system led her to emphasize the “education” in dance education, she explains. For instance, the classes for very young dancers are called the “ABC” program, and involve the dancers in a “teaching across the curriculum” approach to early dance classes, with lots of fun with letters and numbers. Dancers in elementar y school are offered a range of dance styles, and creativity is always the focus, with dancers as young as kindergartners having the opportunity to study choreography and express themselves through movement. “The creative part is very important,” explains Ms. Berman. “There are not a lot of places that offer students the opportunity to develop their own creative side. This is an important part of a child’s development — who are you? And how do you show it? “We help them to discover that. To stay in touch with how they move, how they hear music, how they work with partners — within a format and structure, but expressing their own individuality. Of course, technique is always paramount.” Special Way Ms. Berman adds that a specialty core program for kids 10 and up includes a minimum of three hours a week. “This is for the most serious students, those with potential to go on in dance — a professional track program. We also have a ballet barre class, which combines exercise and ballet.” Whatever their age, students come to The Pennington Studio for a variety of reasons, she points out.

DANCE DEFINITIONS: “We are offering high level, quality dance training which also provides creativity, choreography, and improvisation as part of the training.” Former professional dancer Dawn Cargiulo Berman (right), owner of The Pennington Studio, enjoys teaching Limon style dance techniques to student Madison Parker during Modern dance class. Of course, the youngest are brought by their parents. Others come to learn ballet or the other dances, and some of the adults come for a special way to exercise or keep in shape. The children also participate in performances, including at the upcoming Communiversity event, as well as Pennington Day, Princeton Holiday Walk, and others. “These are wonderful opportunities for them,” notes Ms. Berman. In addition to regular classes, The Pennington Studio will offer summer workshops for dancers of various ages. SummerDancers is a full day, one week workshop to be offered in June and August. The day will start with ballet class taught by Mary Pat Robertson, followed by modern dance class with Ms. Berman. As part of The Pennington Studio’s emphasis on creativity and the inter-connection of the arts, SummerDancers will not only put dancers through their paces technically, although that is a strong component of the experience. Each of the two workshops will also include time devoted to improvisation, theater skills, and the creation of a dance curated by Ms. Berman from the ideas generated by the dancers. It is designed for intermediate level dancers, ages nine through 15. SummerDancer Kids will be offered for younger dancers for a half day and

focus on basic ballet study, as well as jazz and modern dance, including improvisation. Available in July, it is for dancers age seven and older. Beginning Dancers In addition, Creative Kids has br ief workshops for younger beginning dancers that will include elements of tumbling, theater arts, and visual arts. These three-day workshops are also offered in July. Additionally, ongoing once-weekly classes will continue during the summer. Regular classes are available September through June. Sessions are a halfhour, 45 minutes, to an hour and 15 minutes, depending on the specific class and level, many classes are typically one hour. Trial classes are also available for those who want to determine whether dance is a match for their skill set. Ms. Berman is very encouraged with the community response to her studio. “It has been great to work with the wonderful parents and the students. Everyone is thrilled, and we have had such an enthusiastic response. “I look forward to doing a lot of things, but I want to make sure I do everything well. I’m confident that people will respond to the quality and level of dance and arts that we’re bringing to the community. And I look forward to the word getting out. I love being able to offer our programs in the community and right in my own neighborhood!” Dance supplies, such as shoes, leotards, etc. may be purchased at the studio, which is open Monday through Saturday. Several payment options are available for classes, and in addition, the studio can be rented for events, including birthday parties and other occasions. Call for class schedules, information about summer camp, and other events. (609) 737-1264. Website: www.thepenningtonstudio.com. —Jean Stratton

PU Women’s Water Polo Hasn’t Peaked, Despite 21-3 Record, Top 10 Ranking

n paper, it appears that the the Princeton University women’s water polo team is experiencing a dominant season. With one game left in regular season play, Princeton has posted a 21-3 record, outscoring its foes 225-141 on the way to being ranked 10th nationally. But Princeton head coach Luis Nicolao believes his team hasn’t peaked yet. “It has been a great run so far but I think what stands out the most is that we have yet to really have our best game,” said Nicolao. “I think our best overall game was the Arizona State game where we lost by a goal (7-6 on March 18). Due to health issues and academic constraints at Princeton, we really haven’t clicked on all cylinders.” Last weekend, Princeton overcame those issues as it played three games at Hart-

wick College, which has a shallow-deep pool. The Tigers topped No. 14 Indiana 10-6 and Brown 11-8 on Saturday before edging 17th-ranked Hartwick 1312 a day later. “I was really happy to get through the Hartwick game; it is their home pool and there is a lot of advantage to that,” said Nicolao. “It is funny because they won the coin toss and they wanted to have the ball in the fourth quarter in the shallow end, which we would never want to do but that is their home pool. It is a huge advantage to know how to play at that shallow end.” While Princeton has been thrilled to welcome back senior goalie Ashleigh Johnson, who took a hiatus from Princeton last year to help the U.S. women’s national team win the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Summer Games, Nicolao acknowledges that she went through some ups and downs.

“It is huge getting her back but Ashleigh has had a tougher time than I thought,” said Nicolao of Johnson, who has piled up 261 saves in 24 games this season. “Sometimes we relax a little bit too much on defense because we think that Ashleigh is always going to be there to make the save. We have a little different defensive approach this year but at the same time I think Ashleigh would be the first to say she hasn’t had an A-game yet this year. It has been a bigger transition than I thought it would be. It has been a long two years of playing and training for her. Physically and mentally, it is harder for her.” J o h n s o n ’s r e t u r n h a s sparked younger sister, junior star Chelsea, who is second on the team with 39 goals. “Chelsea has always had the physical ability; she is having a lot of fun with her sister, they are great together,” said Nicolao.

MAGIC WAN: Princeton University women’s water polo player Haley Wan prepares to unload the ball in recent action.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “Chelsea has the ability to be one of the best players on the east coast every game. It is a matter of just mentally being all there and giving it all she has got.” Junior star Haley Wan has been giving the Tigers a lot of production, having tallied a team-high and career-best 59 goals.

“We needed Haley to do that; she has always been a really smart player but she has deferred to other players,” said Nicolao. “Coming into this year I knew we didn’t have any big goal scorer. I talked to her and said Haley we really need you to step up with your attempts and she has. I would rather lose with her going 0-for-8 than with her going 1-for-1. Sometimes she is passing up a shot that is hers because she is being too patient and then it is not there again and we have missed an opportunity. She has started to realize she is better off taking it than passing it up.” Nicolao is looking for more aggressiveness across the board offensively. “I think Morgan Hallock (27 goals) is playing really well, Lindsey Kelleher (21 goals) is doing really well,” said Nicolao, noting that Princeton recently lost freshman star Amy Castellano to a season-ending hand injury. “We lost to Michigan (146 on April 2) because they came in and took out Lindsey and Haley. We need other girls to step up because we know what their game plan is. We need more girls to

be more aggressive because the shots you don’t take, you can’t make.” With Princeton hosting George Washington in its regular season finale on April 14 and the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) championships slated for April 28-30, Princeton has time to hone things. “I think it is just trying to fine-tune a little bit,” said Nicolao. “We know we are going to win our 15-20 games and it is all about the last two games at the end of the year. Sometimes you lose focus in the middle of the season because it is a long season. I tell the girls we are playing for real now; it is one or done.” Nicolao is confident that Princeton will play its best when it counts the most with the winner of the CWPA tourney earning a bid to the upcoming NCAA tournament. “I like where we stand, I think we are in a great position,” said Nicolao. “Now it is just a matter of getting healthy and getting our minds in the right place and putting our best foot forward.” —Bill Alden

Although the Princeton Universit y men’s heav yweight varsity 8 lost four rowers to graduation from a boat that took third at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta last spring, Greg Hughes was confident he had a foundation in place that would lead to continued success. “The goal isn’t just to get strong, experienced guys here to Princeton,” said Hughes. “The goal is to develop people during their time at Princeton so they continue to get better every single year, and they move those ranks as they develop.” In the early going this spr ing, t he Tigers have demonstrated that they are once gain a force to be reckoned with, producing a 4-0 start. “We obviously graduated a good chunk of our stronger guys,” said Hughes. “W henever that hap pens, people have to step up and fill new roles. There have been guys who have been doing that; it is fun to watch.” Hughes had fun watching his varsity 8 last Saturday as

it defeated Penn and Columbia on Lake Carnegie to win the Childs Cup, the oldest active trophy in collegiate rowing. “It was a solid race, it was really crazy out there conditions-wise,” said Hughes, whose top boat clocked a winning time of 6:18.9 over t he 2,000 -meter course with Penn taking second in 6:21.4 and Columbia finishing third in 6:35.2. “It was tough; it was extremely windy and it built up as the racing went on through the event. By the time we got to the varsity race, it was really pumping. That is tricky stuff to race in and I thought the boat did a really good job. It was a solid performance, they established themselves early on and proceeded to do what they needed to get it done.” Dealing with turnover in his lineup, Hughes has used different combinations in his boats this spring. “In these early races, a lot of that is people getting comfortable in those new roles and giving people opportunities to race,” said Hughes, whose second varsity and third varsity also

posted wins on Saturday. “We want to make sure that we give everybody a real opportunity so they can continue to get better and they can get the chance to prove their ability. We have been mixing and matching. I think the guys have done a really good job with that.” Team captain and senior star Nick Mead has been doing a really good job for the Tigers. “Nick is a great leader; he has obviously been a strong performer for us for the past four years but he is so much more than just a big engine,” said Hughes. “His personality and his attitude are mainstays of our program. He is not one of those leaders who is loud

and vocal. He is very, very consistent and that’s a big part of rowing. We have a long season and we are racing for two months straight, making sure there is a consistency to those performances makes a big difference. He is just one of those guys; he is very, very reliable.” Several other guys have also stepped up for Princeton so far this spring. “We have had a lot of the guys who were doing some under-23 stuff this past year and those guys have come back and they have done a really great job adding more to the program,” said Hughes. “ S o m e of t h o s e g u y s who were in the varsit y last year are performing at a higher level this season. Guys like Tom George, he has been doing great. We have some guys that came out of the second varsity and

have been moving up into the varsity, like Julian Goldman, who was stroking the 2V the last couple of years. He is doing a really nice job, he has made some nice gains. Franco D’Agostino has been doing a great job, both in terms of his performance but also with the kind of leader that he is, which is a strong teammate. That has been huge.” The team’s group of coxswains has also made strides, refining their skills in guiding the Princeton boats. “Dave McFall, who is our coxswain, has made some re ally n ice gains,” s aid Hughes. “It has been a big focus for us to help those coxswains develop and improve their knowledge and ability in the same way that we have been able to develop rowers. Coach Matt Smith helped us get a good protocol for a

survey that the athletes all filled out. We got that information back so they have got very good, simple things to think about and work on. The coxswains are a much more dynamic part of what we do and Dave has been a driving part of that. It has been great to see him doing what he does.” Hughes knows that the Tigers are in for a great battle as they host Harvard and MIT this Saturday in the race for the Compton Cup. “It is always an awesome matchup, the guys are excited to have it here,” said Hughes. “Harvard is a strong team; we know from top to bottom, they are going to be impressive competitors. We are going to have to come prepared with the best race we have got so far. It is exciting for the whole team.” —Bill Alden

New Coach Soprano Preaching Aggressiveness As PHS Softball Aims to Get on Winning Track After the Princeton High softball team fell 11-0 to WW/P-South last Wednesday, the players gathered in left field to get a post-game message from new head coach Marissa Soprano. Kneeling in front of the team, Soprano didn’t sugarcoat things. “I had hoped t hat we would play a little bit better defensively today,” said Soprano, who is succeeding Dave Boehm after serving two years as an assistant coach with the program. “South had some really good hits but I was just telling the girls that they have to have a little more confidence and believe that they can get that third out.” Soprano is looking for her players to put more pressure on their foes offensively. “I definitely want to be more aggressive on the base paths when they do have runners on,” said Soprano.

“I want us playing small ball and bunting and getting our girls to steal. Gillian Nadler had two stolen bases today so they are continuing to work on that. That is my mindset going in; we don’t have the power hitters like we had last year.” In order to get its bats going, PHS has to apply what it has been focusing on in training. “We need to be building on a few things in practice and then coming out and performing those in the game,” added Soprano. The squad’s core of veterans will play a key role in that process. “We have a good group of seniors, it is a big class,” said Soprano. “I am trying to get them to be leaders and teach some of the younger girls. We have quite a few new players on varsity so it is just capitalizing on their leadership through season.”

T he bat ter y of s en ior pitcher Kayla Volante and senior catcher Christina Cuomo has been setting a positive tone for PHS. “Kayla hangs in there, she will definitely be one of our bigger hitters; we will also rely on her for her bat,” said Soprano, noting that a third key senior, Nancy Gray, is currently sidelined by illness and should be back on the field by mid-April. “Her leadership is great along with Christina behind the plate. Christina’s relationship with Kayla has been really good; they work together well. She can keep her focused when things aren’t going our way.” Soprano is confident that things will start going better for the Little Tigers. “I definitely thought we could come out a little stronger but there is an adjustment period and hopefully they do that as the season progresses,” said Soprano, whose team fell 9-0 to WW/ P-South last Friday to move to 0-3 and will look to get on the winning track as it plays at Notre Dame on April 12, hosts Trenton on April 13, plays at Trenton on April 17, and then hosts Hamilton on April 18. “I want to see more confidence, getting that third out in the field, and getting our bats going. The girls can definitely do that. So the more innings we have, hopefully they will pick it up and get a little stronger.” —Bill Alden

Following in the Footsteps of her Older Sister, Ryan Emerging as Weapon for PHS Girls’ Lax In her first two years on the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team, Abaigeal Ryan toiled on the squad’s defensive unit while her older sister, Julia, helped spark the attack. But this spring, with Julia heading to Temple and playing for its women’s lax team, the younger Ryan has moved up the field and has picked up the slack left by her sister. “Last year I was playing defense and I got to take my sister’s spot and come up into the midfield,” said Ryan. “I was really excited.” Ryan has developed an exciting partnership with sophomore star Mariana Lopez-Ona. “It is really fun, getting the draw, working with Mariana really well in the circle,” said Ryan. “Getting possession and then being able to run down is something I wanted to do the last two years.” Last week, that pair clicked as PHS pulled away to a 19-6 win over WW/PSouth as Ryan tallied three goals and an assist while Lopez-Ona chipped in eight goals and two assists. “In the beginning sometimes it is a little rough, starting out but once we get the hang of it, you get it together,” said Ryan, reflecting on the April 4 contest which saw PHS leading just 7-4 at halftime. “I think once we all settled down and everyone stopped, all the jitters went away and we calmed down. It was really easy for us to find the openings and for everyone to shine and show their skills off and then everything just got rolling.” In Ryan’s view, PHS’s 14-9 win over two-time defending state Prep B champion Princeton Day School on March 30 showed how good the Little Tigers can be. “We beat PDS last week and that was huge,” said Ryan. “They are a really good team and we have lost to them in the past few years so it was really awe-

some for us to come back and beat them this year. We beat North and then we beat South. We are just really excited to move forward this season and play really good teams and show our stuff.” Ryan is looking forward to reuniting with her sister as she has committed to attend Temple and play for its women’s lax program. “I am going to play with her for another few years, “ said Ryan. “She is loving it there, she is doing great. Once she graduated last year I realized how I am really going to miss playing with her so when Temple offered me a spot, I couldn’t give up the opportunity to play with her again.” PHS head coach Sara Doran likes how Ryan is thriving in her new role on the team. “She is fantas t ic, her height is such an asset, she has great ball control and a really solid shot,” said Doran of Ryan who scored a gamehigh four goals last Monday as PHS routed Robbinsville 17-2 to improve to 6-1. “She knows when to feed the ball and when to drive and does both really well. She has been great for us on the draw too, getting possession.” The Little Tigers possess another great weapon in the prolific Lopez-Ona, who tallied three goals and an assist in the win over Robbinsville. “Lopez-Ona is great with possession on t he draw

and her shot is always top notch,” said Doran. “She is just a great shooter.” PHS is displaying some great chemistry on the field. “The girls are really looking for each other out there; they are working together as a team,” said Doran. “When I look and see that many of our goals are off of assists, that is always a positive and a sign that they are looking for each other. I am happiest about the way we are playing as a team; that is what I have been focusing on. It is just a lot of team bonding and trying to get the girls to understand the importance of it being a team effort.” Doran is getting good effort throughout her lineup. “We have a lot of depth, we have a lot of girls that do a lot of the grunt work like Serena Bolitho, she is getting the ground balls, and Georgia McLean is like that too,” said Doran. “We are just working hard all over the field, from the defensive end to the offensive end. I think that is what we are going to have to do against the top teams.” Ryan for her part, believes that staying composed is another key to success for PHS when it goes against top competition. “Everyone gets really excited and amped up and sometimes that goes into aggression and forcing things,” said Ryan. “We need to work on settling down because once we settle down and everyone moves around, we can really dominate.” —Bill Alden

Bridget Kane enjoyed a big season this past winter for the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team, leading the squad in scoring and earning All-Prep B honors. Building on that success, Kane is applying some of her hoops skills to get off to a hot start this spring for the PDS girls’ lax team. L a s t S at u r d ay, j u n i or standout Kane scored four goals as PDS cruised to a 19-8 win over Peddie. In assessing her performance, Kane attributed her offensive prowess, in part, to what she has gained from playing other sports. “Basketball helps w ith defensive footwork and cutting and moving,” said Kane, who has also competed for the PDS cross country program. “I think all the sports help me to be a better all-around player.” Kane strives to be an allaround player for the Panthers. “I can play all over the field; I play midfield and attack,” said Kane, noting that lacrosse is her favorite sport

and that she has committed to attend Franklin and Marshall and will join its women’s lax program. “I can play defense when needed; I am very versatile.” In the Peddie game, Kane scored three goals in the early stages of the contest as the Panthers jumped out to a 12-3 lead by halftime. “One thing coach really emphasizes is to get out of the gate so we really wanted to get a good start,” said Kane. “I think that really sets the tone for the rest of the game when we do well right off the bat.” Another point of emphasis for PDS is offensive balance and that was on display against the Falcons as junior star Madison Mundenar tallied seven goals and two assists with senior standout Morgan Mills chipping in three goals and five assists and junior Kyra Hall adding three goals and two assists. “We have a lot of talent on our team and we are all really great friends,” said Kane.

“There is a lot of chemistry and that makes us really hard to play against and that is great going into the rest of the season.” Over the last year, Kane has focused on making herself more of a playmaker. “Individually my biggest thing was being able to move without the ball and being able to see the field a lot better,” said Kane. “I have worked on seeing the open girls and seeing the cuts that are there.” For the Panthers, the win over Peddie marked their third straight win as they have moved on from a tough 14-9 loss to Princeton High on March 30. “Yes it was a loss but it it was good for our team to know what that feels like and to know what to do to improve,” said Kane. “We used that in this past week.” PDS head coach Jill Thomas was proud of how her players came up big last week in wake of that setback. “It finishes a nice week for us, really that was our thing,” said Thomas, whose squad edged the Hun School 12-11 on April 3 and then beat Blair Academy 19-9 on Wednesday before the victory over Peddie. “We had Hun, we went up to Blair and we had Peddie. We are starting to find our rhythm.” Thomas credited Kane with helping to create that offensive rhythm in the win over Peddie. “Bridget is really good, she stepped up today, so good for her,” said Thomas. “The passes between Bridget to Madison Mundenar to Morgan Mills, however it goes, it is great. We are a very good passing team.” The Panthers produced a good defensive effort, stepping up in the absence of senior star and co-captain Abby Atkeson. “I was really happy with our defense because Abby was revisiting a college and you didn’t even miss her,” said Thomas. “She is the leader out there. Emma Dries and Val Radvany were really good and we had a freshman (Maggie Madani) in goal.” In the view of Thomas, PDS can be really good this spring if it sticks to basics. “We are at our best when we play our game and we aren’t rattled,” said Thomas, whose team plays at Germantown Academy (Pa.) on April 13 and at Pennington School on April 17. “The defense settles and gets a stop, you get it out, and you get it down the field. You run when you can and you settle when you have to. That is pretty much what we do. It is lot of fun.” Kane, for her part, believes the Panthers can have a lot of fun this spring as they pursue a third straight state Prep B title. “We are all moving uphill, we are improving game by game and practice by practice,” said Kane. “We all see the day, May 15 (the date of the title game), coming. We all know what to expect and we want it.” —Bill Alden

Senior Standout Dudeck Shows Sense of Urgency As Hun Girls’ Lax Rolls to 17-4 Win Over Stuart Things didn’t go well for the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team in its first two games last week. Hu n dropped a 12-11 heartbreaker to crosstown foe Princeton Day School on April 3. Two days later, the Raiders absorbed an 18-7 drubbing to arch-rival Lawrenceville. B efore hos t i ng St uar t Country Day last Friday, Hun took some time to work on its mental game. “We had a motivational speaker yesterday who talked about recognizing your mistakes, regrouping, and refocusing,” said Hun head coach Liz Cook. Hun senior star Shannon Dudeck apparently took that message to heart, scoring five goals to help the Raiders end the week with a bang as they defeated Stuart 17-4 and improved to 3-2.

“It was a really big building game for our team; we worked together really well,” said Dudeck. “We bounced back after a tough loss. Hopefully we are in for a good rest of the season.” In reflecting on her big game, Dudeck said it was a product of some intense training. “All the work that I have been putting in is paying off now,” said Dudeck. “It is good to live out my senior year and take advantage of these last moments that I have here with Hun lacrosse because of everything they have given me. It is really good to give back to them.” As a result of her stellar play for Hun, Dudeck will be giving her all for another team next spring as she is headed to Holy Cross where she will be playing for the

women’s lax program. “I have really been trying to amp up my game and become bigger, faster, and stronger,” said Dudeck. “I have to be more aggressive with everything and learn how to play at that level.” Dudeck has worked on developing her leadership skills as well, serving as one of the team’s co-captains this spring along with classmates Delia Lawver and Maddie McNulty. “It is everything I could ask for,” said Dudeck of being a captain. “We are a family and being able to be a role model is awesome. We are a very close knit team this year. It shows on the field when we play with each other.” On the field, Dudeck looks to show her leadership by triggering the Hun attack.

“I have a hunger for goals and feeding,” said Dudeck. “If I see the open lane, I will take it.” Hun head coach Liz Cook likes the hunger Dudeck has been displaying this spring. “Shannon is having a great start; she is so consistent and focused,” said Cook. “As a captain, she has the ability to really press our kids to play their best. She really has this intensity that drives our team. She is taking it very seriously and she wants to play at the next level at Holy Cross and she is absolutely going to do that. She is such a great leader and great person for me to have as one of the captains.” In the win over Stuart, the Raiders got some great contributions across the board as Cook’s daughter, sophomore attacker Zoe, scored four goals with Lawver chipping in a goal and five assists, junior Hannah Bunce contributing two goals and two assists, and junior Piper

Schinsky adding two goals and two assists. “Zoe had a nice game, the goalies have been stuffing her,” said Cook, who has another daughter, junior defender Josie, on the squad. “She has been frustrated with the shooting in the last couple of games and we really worked on her faking a little bit so she learned to fake and put it down low. She can find the back of the net beautifully and with ease. She never looks like she is trying very hard but she is always really focused.” Cook ad mon ishe d her team to try hard against Stuart, looking for her players to keep their focus even as the Hun lead stretched to 14-2 by halftime. “It is don’t take any team for granted,” said Cook. “On any given day, any team can beat any team and that it is really important for you to play at your level and not at their level and I think we started out at their level. I told the girls don’t think that they can’t throw and catch

because they sure can. They have got a great coach.” In Cook’s view, the win over the Tartans was just what Hun needed to get on the right track after the tough losses to start the week. “We have a great little team here that can throw and catch and I wanted to get our transition back, which they seemed to lack at PDS and Lawrenceville,” said Cook. “This game is over and our next game is at Peddie. I am really excited for the rest of the season. We have a lot of film to watch so we will watch that film and make our corrections with some of the things that I have seen.” Dudeck, for her part, is excited to see what the Raiders can do over the rest of the spring. “It is definitely a solid start,” said Dudeck. “We have to work during practice and make sure that over the rest of the season we play our best lacrosse.” —Bill Alden

Pamela Jean Frederick Pamela Jean Frederick died peacefully at home surrounded by her immediate family in Princeton on March 31, 2017. Jean was born in Felpham near Bognor Regis, West Sussex, England on April 22, 1921 to Lizzie Ethel Tingley and Perc y A shford Nor ma n. Her father was the last in a succession of land-owning farmers whose family name of Ashford or Ayshford originated from Devon, and was recorded in the Doomsday books. Jean was mainly home-schooled and briefly attended Courtfield House in Bognor Regis. At age 17, as Britain defended against invasion, Jean patrolled her coastal village on fire watch during the blackouts while, in her own words, “My 14-year-old brother kicked the bombs off the church tower in the dark.” By day she served in the British Red Cross as a volunteer, nursing casualties. She was accepted to study Interior Design in London but the outbreak of war prohibited her from taking her place. Instead, she married Squadron Leader Paul Michael Procter, DFC, Royal Air Force (RAF). They lived in England and then in Aden, Yemen on the Red Sea with their daughter Susan, where he served for several years before his tragic death in a flying accident in November 1951. The fourth of five children (her sister Eleanor had died at birth), Jean outlived all her siblings. Her only brother Wing Commander Ayshford Peter Nor man, DFC, R AF, had a distinguished service record and led a flying formation team; her oldest sister Phyllis (Pip) Norman joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS) and worked for British intelligence intercepting codes before they reached Bletchley Park. Their other sister Betty Beaven was married to a successful leather manu-

facturer who served in the Oxfordshire Yeomanry. In 1960 Jean mar r ied Episcopal priest John Bassett Moore Frederick, son of New York lawyer Karl Telford Frederick and Anne Ferguson Moore, a daughter of John Bassett Moore of Smyrna, Delaware and a judge on the World Court in The Hague. The couple met in Oxford, England while Jean was working at the University and John was a curate; they later resided in New Haven, Connecticut (1960 –1970 ) where their daughters Alexandra and Sarah were born. In 1970, the family moved back to England, living in Birmingham while John studied for his PhD and then settled in Blechingley, Surrey (1974– 1995) where he was Rector. Jean attended Bournville College of Art in Birmingham and Reigate School of Art in Surrey and became a painter specializing in landscapes and portraits. They relocated to Princeton upon retirement, where they were members of Trinity Church, The Nassau Club, The English-Speaking Union, and The Middle East Society. Jean also joined the Daughters of the British Empire, although she did not support “empire building” and always considered herself a “world citizen”. A member of the Garden State Watercolor Society, Jean’s work has also been exhibited at The Nassau Club, Princeton; Phillips Mill, New Hope, Pennsylvania; The Bird in the Hand Gallery, Sewickley, Pennsylvania; and at regional locations. Jean is survived by her

husband John ; her three daughters, Susan Perin and husband Reuben Perin Jr., Alexandra Frederick and partner Mark Vickers, and Sarah Borner du Cane and husband Paul Borner du Cane; grandchildren Serena Perin Vinton and husband Henry Vinton, Reuben Perin III and wife Laura Perin, Thomas Borner du Cane and Henry Borner du Cane; great-grandchildren Elena, Amelia, and Alexa Vinton, and Spencer and Reuben Perin IV; her sistersin-law Helen Gray and Lisa Parker and their respective children Carla, Eden, and Wendy; other extended family in the U.K., niece Judith Burchell and husband Vernon Burchell, sons Gabriel and Aaron and children, neph ew Marcu s B e ave n and wife Judith Beaven and children, cousin Deirdre Forman and husband Andrew Forman; and countless beloved friends in the U.S. and U.K. A lover of historic places and beautiful gardens, Jean’s characteristics included a quick wit, artistic talent, and a passionate interest in her family, the lives of others, and world affairs. She was noted for her extraordinary memory which could recount the most intricate details of a life lived in several countries during both war and peace. The funeral service will be held at Trinity Church, Princeton at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 22. Simple family flowers are requested, as well as donations to Heifer International. ——— Obituaries Continued on Next Page

Robert D. Hulme Robert D. Hulme of Princeton, New Jersey died at home on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 following a battle with leukemia. He was 88. Born the youngest of four children to Norman and Elisabeth Hulme, Robert grew up

in Swarthmore, Pa. He attended the University of Virginia and received his bachelor of science degree in commerce in 1950. Robert joined Sun Oil Company in Philadelphia as a statistical analyst and was later appointed industrial relations supervisor in the firm’s training division. While at Sun Oil, he completed an MBA in finance at Temple University and then worked toward a PhD in economics at the University of Pennsylvania, while additionally serving as a lecturer in finance at Temple. Robert joined Philco Corporation in 1960 as director of training in Philadelphia. Upon the acquisition of Philco by Ford Motor Company, he was named manager of salaried personnel for the communications and electronics division of Philco-Ford. He

was recruited by Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby in 1964 to assist in its diversification into a general management consulting firm. He transferred to the firm’s New York City office in 1971, where he was the human resources consulting section practice leader until his retirement as a vice president in 1986. At that time, Robert opened his own consulting practice in Princeton, where he specialized in research management, compensation, and organization until 1991. He wrote several articles on business management subjects including pieces appearing in Business Horizons and the Harvard Business Review. Robert was an avid traveler. Together with his wife of 33 years, Mary McGlynn Hulme, he traveled to Europe frequently. To better facilitate his travels, he studied French for several years and developed a practical facility for reading and speaking the language. He spent many memorable summers in Kennebunkport, Maine with Mary where they enjoyed playing tennis at the River Club, taking long hikes, and entertaining friends. In earlier years, the two enjoyed ski adventures in the mountains of N.Y. and Vermont. Robert

was an ardent reader, a dedicated swimmer, and enjoyed nothing more than telling a grand story or engaging in a passionate argument over world events with friends. Robert was a member of Trinity Church and was particularly proud of the work his wife Mary put forth as a lead member of the altar guild. He was a member at the Racquet Club in Philadelphia, the Knickerbocker Club in New York, and The Nassau Club in Princeton. Robert was predeceased by his sisters, Anne Vierno and Terry Merrick. In addition to his beloved wife Mary, Robert is survived by his brother Norman A. Hulme of Bryn Mawr; his three children, Randall Kenyon (Haseena) of Dallas, Texas, Michael Hatheway (Gail) of Annapolis, Md., and Kimberly Dana (Cynthia) of Clemmons, N.C.; five grandchildren, Evan, Nicholas, Chase, Leila, and Miles; and several nieces and nephews. A memorial service for friends and family will be held on May 6, 2017 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trinity Episcopal Church, 33 Mercer Street in Princeton.
