“What’s going on? Are you closing? No, you can’t!,” a customer at Jordan’s Stationery and Gifts in Princeton Shopping Center exclaimed to owner Lewis Wildman last week after noticing the “Everything Must Go” signs in the windows. The refrain has become familiar to Mr. Wildman, who has operated the eclectic store for almost 35 years and has been informed by EDENS, the owner of the center on North Harrison Street since 2012, that his lease is not being renewed. He has until the end of June to get rid of his inventory and vacate the space. Taking a break from the cash register where customers were lining up to purchase cards, giftwrap, candles, and other assorted items at reduced prices, Mr. Wildman reflected on the situation. “It’s not that I want to go. I don’t. But like people say, ‘When it’s time to go, it’s time to go.’ I guess it’s that time.” Mr. Wildman said he has been paying half of the $8,000 rent for more than two years, and was told by an EDENS employee to continue doing so until his lease was up and the company would contact him about negotiating and renewing. “They never did get in touch with me,” he said. “It would have been nice to have gotten a phone call or something.” Mr. Wildman said Tuesday that EDENS has told him he owes them $120,000 in back rent. He is considering starting a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money. “Some customers were talking about it this morning, and one of them is an IT person who said she could set it up,” he said. “So we’ll see.” The situation at Jordan’s is the latest jolt to shoppers who have counted on the store, and other long-time tenants of the center, for basic needs. Mr. Wildman is not the first to be told to vacate. The leases of Camillo’s Cafe, in 2013; and more recently Taste of Mexico, were not renewed. With several empty storefronts along the walkways — Mr. Wildman said he counts 10 — and the imminent arrival of some trendy eateries such as Nomad Pizza and LiLLiPies, it appears that the 60-year-old shopping center is in transition. “While we are unable to comment on the details of our tenants and their businesses, we appreciate the concern that has been shared by members of the community regarding Jordan’s,” wrote Continued on Page 16

Battlefield Society Pursues Court Injunction

The Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS), in its ongoing efforts to halt an Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) construction project, last week asked the U.S. District Court for New Jersey to grant a preliminary injunction under the Clean Water Act. If granted, that injunction would prevent the IAS from continuing work on its 15-unit faculty housing project until the Battlefield Society’s March 10 complaint concerning the destruction of wetlands on the site is resolved. The Institute has until May 2 to respond to the current motion, and on May 16 the court is scheduled to hear the case, according to Battlefield Society attorney Bruce Afran. The Institute, stating that it “has received all the necessary regulatory approvals to proceed,” continues to move forward with site preparations on the seven-acre parcel. In January, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) notified the PBS that they had found no wetlands on the IAS building site and that “the Institute does not require any permits from DEP,” but the Battlefield Society disputes that finding.

Though the current court issue is one of environmental land use, the presence of wetlands on the building site would necessitate a historical review of the project, and the Battlefield Society has long contended that the site, next to the Princeton Battlefield Park, is land on which General George Washington led an historic counterattack against British forces. Emphasizing its “commitment and sensitivity to battlefield preservation and stewardship,” the Institute has cited the project as meeting “a critical need” for

faculty housing, and claims to have “taken great care to address all reasonable concerns relative to preservation issues.” The Institute made extensive changes to its original site plans, including moving the project further away from the Park, adjusting the profiles and materials of the housing units and enhancing the landscaped screen between the site and the Park. It also arranged to provide 14 acres of public space subject to a conservation easement, including a 200-foot-wide parcel Continued on Page 12

Kathy Monzo, Deputy Administrator, Will Move to North Brunswick Position Kathy Monzo, municipal deputy administrator and director of finance, has announced that she will be leaving her post in Princeton to become administrator of North Brunswick Township in Middlesex County. “I have mixed feelings. It’s bittersweet because I have been blessed to have worked with so many wonderful people here,” she said Monday. “But at the same time, this is a very exciting challenge and

I’m looking forward to it.” “I congratulate Kathy on her new position,” stated Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “Kathy is a superstar, and North Brunswick is beyond lucky to have hired her. Kathy has been superb in finance and administration and has been instrumental in helping to steer Princeton successfully through consolidation and other uncertain times. She will leave a big hole in Continued on Page 14

TOPICS Of the Town and son Daniel, who was born four years ago. “We didn’t know what to do.” Neighbors in Mill Hill dedicated the neighborhood playground to A lexander, placing a plaque w ith his picture on the gate. W hen fr iends ap proached the couple about making a donation in Alexander’s name, they began looking into the possibility. The Alexander Michael Dodson Memorial Scholarship Fund was started with the encouragement and financial support of those friends, and the assistance of the Princeton Area Community Foundation. In October 2010, t he fund sponsored the first Alexander’s Run, a 5K and family festival that donates to the Stuart Country Day School’s STARS Program and provides money for research, advocacy, and support services to families affected by SUDC. This year’s run, the fifth, takes place on Saturday, April 23 starting at 9 a.m. in Mill Hill Park. The course takes runners and walkers through historic Trenton, tracing Washington and Sullivan’s routes into the Battle of Trenton and passing by the Old Barracks. But the race is only one part of the day. A full roster of activities is planned for an after-race celebration back at Mill Hill Park. “It’s not just the run,” said Ms. Emerson. “It’s a family festival with a lot to do, from face-painting to crafting, Zumba for kids, and an obstacle course. We do the run to get people here, but for me it’s more about the family day part. We want everyone to come out and enjoy the day.” Most parents are aware of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome ( SIDS ), which is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as “the sudden deat h of an infant less

than 1 year of age that cannot be explained after a thorough investigation is conducted, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history.” SUDC, which affects older children, is less known. T he SUDC Foundation serves as a resource for information, support, and advocacy, promoting awarene s s a nd helpi ng families affected by the tragedy. Through events like Alexander’s Run, it also raises funds for research. “When we first joined the foundation, there was a research program that has now moved to a hospital in Boston,” Ms. Emerson says. “They have a wonder ful medical adv isor y Continued on Next Page

team. They’re tr ying to find what the link is — the mysterious cause of this thing that makes children die in their sleep.” Running the fund in memor y of Alexander gives his parents the oppor t unit y to talk about him. “I’m ver y lucky in that I can talk about him whenever I want. It’s not a way to keep him alive, but a way for me to talk about him and tell people this is something you can’t prevent. We had no idea about it. I don’t want to scare people with small kids, but people should be aware.” While he never met his brother, four-year-old Daniel talks about him all the time. “He’s very aware of Alexander,” says Ms. Emerson. “It’s ‘my brother this’ and ‘my brother that.’ He doesn’t quite understand the concept of death, but he understands that his brother’s not here. Conceptually, he follows that. But he’s only four. I can talk to him about Alexander. It’s so wonderful that he feels so comfor table talking about him.” Money raised from the first four Alexander’s Runs provided donations to the S t uar t s cho ol ’s STA RS program and helped

almost 70 students attend the program, a four-week camp focused on math, science, and humanities that is open only to Trenton residents. The program is desig ned to st reng t hen Stuart’s ties with the community through service to children.

SUSTAINABLE FARMING, SUSTAINABLE LEARNING: Princeton High School senior Caroline McClatchy tends to her aquaponics system, combining soil-less growing of plants with raising fish, in pursuing inquiry-based research as part of a new high school science course.

Inquiry-Based Research at PHS Sparks Learning and Discovery A new class on research methods is prompting students to observe and ask questions and has encouraged Princeton High School science students to stretch the boundaries of the traditional classroom and the field of science. “This class really illuminates the heart of science, which is research,” said PHS science teacher Jacqueline Katz. “Very often students feel as though science is a series of facts or calculations, but the scientific process is rooted in observing and asking questions. My goal for this course was to give students the opportunity to observe and ask questions. Each student in the class has developed their own questions based on observation and research.” Caroline McClatchy and Nick Pibi’s obser vations began with an interest in a company that seeks to feed 20 million people by 2020 using aquaponics, a sustainable farming method. The two PHS seniors are implementing an aquaponics system which combines hydroponics, the soil-less growing of plants, with the raising of fish. Their goal is to maximize the efficiency of the self-contained eco-system, where the fish effluent is converted into fertilizer for the plants, which in turn filter the water to pump back into the fish tank — a method requiring only one-tenth of the water used in conventional farming methods. This project, supported by a Princeton Education Foundation grant, is one of many examples of experiential project-based learning in the new science research class taught by Ms. Katz. “Nick and Caroline have asked questions about sustainable agriculture,” said Ms. Katz. “Other students are looking into the mechanisms behind REM sleep, or cancer therapeutics, or the role neurons play in ALS development.” Designed as a multi-year course, the class enables students to use problem-solving and collaboration strategies in undertaking long-term projects. “I hope this class continues to grow throughout the years and helps students find inspiration in the scientific process,” said Ms. Katz. “These students are pursuing their passion and the topics of their choice,” sci-

ence supervisor Edward Cohen observed. “This is the model moving forward as we expand the research class over the next three years.” The environmental wet lab created by Ms. McClatchy and Mr. Pibi will be passed on next year to two incoming sophomores and will allow them to build on their predecessors’ knowledge as they continue the research. Looking at water quality and the optimal concentrations of bacteria for converting nitrogen more efficiently, which began as a science-centered inquiry for Ms. McClatchy and Mr. Pibi, branched out into engineering and beyond. “They’re hands-on, they’re conducting research, and they’re bringing it all together. They keep at it and design solutions. Pretty cool,” Ms. Katz commented. L ast su m mer Mr. P ibi emailed his teacher to tell her about an organization called Hatponics, which has the goal of feeding 20 million people by 2020, and Ms. Katz, while on vacation in Georgia, visited some aquaponics systems at schools in the Atlanta area.

Since space was an issue at the high school, the equipment was installed at John Witherspoon Middle School (JW). Eventually high school students will work together with middle schoolers currently taking a new food science class at JW. Ms. McClatchy envisions expanding the program to all schools as a way of providing a source of healthful locally grown food for the cafeterias. “There’s experimentation, but with the result that you know you’re benefiting your community,” she noted. “There are so many factors to it. It’s not just environmental. It’s also economic. You could really study it your whole life.” Science teacher Katz looks forward to exciting ongoing research and learning beyond the classroom walls as her research class progresses through the coming years. “Students have really pushed the boundaries by conducting extensive research and synthesizing interesting questions,” she added. —Donald Gilpin

Former NAACP Officer To Be Visiting Lecturer

Benjamin Todd Jealous, former president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and current partner at Kapor Capital — where he has been an adviser for multiple tech startups working to close gaps of access, opportunity, and participation for everyday Americans — will serve as the John L. Weinberg/Goldman Sachs and Co. Visiting Professor and Visiting Lecturer in Public and International Affairs at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs for the next three years. During the 2016-17 academic year, Mr. Jealous and his fellow graduate faculty will teach a curriculum focused on issues of crime and policing, leadership, and social entrepreneurship.

“Benjamin Jealous is a powerful voice in the world of policy. He’s worked tirelessly to implement important reforms on both the state and national stage. His expertise will be invaluable to all members of the Woodrow Wilson School community,” said Cecilia Rouse, dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. Mr. Jealous, in addition to serving as partner at Kapor Capital, is also currently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, where he has contributed to developing policy solutions that ensure equity and opportunity for all Americans. During his term as the 17th president and CEO of the NAACP from 2008 to 2013, Mr. Jealous partnered with numerous government officials at both the state and national level to achieve policy reforms in the fields of education, immigration, voting rights, criminal justice, and marriage equalit y. Prior to leading the NAACP, he was president of the Rosenberg Foundation (2005-2008), where he currently still serves as a member of the board of directors. From 2002-05, Mr. Jealous was director of the U.S. Human Rights Program at Amnesty International USA. His career also has included positions as executive director of the National Newspaper Publishers Association — a federation of more than 200 black community newspapers in 38 states — and managing editor of the Jackson Advocate, the oldest blackowned weekly newspaper in Mississippi.

(the Watershed) is launching a new program to help residents of central New Jersey test their drinking water. Unfortunately, residents of some towns have continued drinking publically-supplied water without knowing it was contaminated. Sometimes for years. In fact, flyers were distributed to Flint residents that convinced them the water was safe to drink – while at the same time, bottled water was provided to the municipal and state employees, indicating that officials were aware of the situation long before they let on.

Flint, Michigan. Hoosick Falls, New York. Jackson, Mississippi. Fort Worth, Texas. Newark, New Jersey. The list goes on and on. What do the residents of these towns have in common? Each has experienced the panic and outrage that comes with drinking tainted water. Countless news articles have come out in recent months, describing one contaminated water supply after another. The American public was provided with a reasonable expectation that they receive clean drinking water through the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1974. Since then one thing has become apparent – we really don’t know if our water is safe if we don’t test it. This is why the Stony BrookMillstone Watershed Association

Most instances of contaminated water have not occurred under such sinister circumstances. The fact is that many of our older pipes are made of lead or were installed using lead solder. Until there are enough resources to replace every line of our plumbing in the country we must continue to be vigilant to protect ourselves against lead poisoning and other water-borne ailments. Lead poisoning is a very serious matter. Lead is toxic to many of the body’s organs and interferes with the development of the nervous system, so lead poisoning is a particular concern in children. But lead is not the only contaminant that can appear in drinking water. Excessive copper can cause liver damage and kidney

Police Blotter On April 12, at 8:04 p.m., a 26 -year-old male from Hightstown was charged with giving a false name to a police officer and having multiple active warrants for his arrest, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Stockton Street for not wearing a seatbelt. A 27-year-old male passenger from Easton, Pa. was charged with providing false information to police as well. On Apr il 12, at 9 : 30 p.m., a woman dropped her iPhone on Chambers Street and later noticed it was missing. Upon returning to the area where it was lost, she was unable to locate it. The Detective Bureau is investigating. On April 13, at 8:10 a.m., police responded to a report of graffiti in several bathroom stalls in Princeton High School. The school reported that none of the graffiti caused permanent damage and they were in the process of having it removed. On April 13, at 3:51 p.m., a victim reported that her wallet was stolen at a store on the 300 block of North Harrison Street. She later received an alert from her bank that someone attempted to use her credit card to make purchases in a store in

disease. Arsenic can cause cancer, heart disease, stroke and other maladies. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blood poisoning in infants and liver and stomach illness in older persons. To better protect residents of central New Jersey, the Watershed Association is offering a brand new program – TapWatch, a drinking water testing program for the public. Whether your water comes from a well in your back yard or is delivered to your home in a pipe from your municipality or a private water company, this new service will better equip you with the knowledge that what you are putting into your body is safe. Members of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association will receive this service at a reduced price, however all are invited to participate. The program, being launched next month, offers an array of testing options. For residents, who receive water from a municipal or private water service, the organization recommends testing for lead, arsenic and copper. Testing for Escherichia coli, total coliform bacteria, nitrates and volatile organic compounds is recommended for residents with wells. The Watershed Association’s staff will help you decide which testing is best for you. TapWatch compliments work the Watershed Association has

On April 15, at 6:23 p.m., police responded to the first block of Hulfish Street on a report of juveniles kicking the front door of a residence. When police arrived one of the juveniles was still there and the other had left the scene. The investigation found that they had also damaged flower beds. On Apr il 15, at 3 : 24 p.m., a resident of Constitution Hill East reported that someone attempted an unauthorized wire transfer from one of his accounts. It was flagged as suspicious and not completed. The incident is under investigation by the Detective Bureau. On April 17, at 1:14 p.m., a victim reported that between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. on April 14, someone stole his bike from the 100 block of Moore Street. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

Beer Pong Game Demonstrates Need To Educate People About the Holocaust

To the Editor: The Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks and the Board of rabbis of Princeton Mercer Bucks condemn the beer pong game of “Jews vs. Nazis” that took place in Princeton. This activity demonstrates that there is still a great deal of work to do in educating people about the horrors of the Holocaust. At the same time, we recognize Jamaica Ponder for her courage in speaking up and alerting our community to this disturbing incident. We have watched for too long as people have remained silent when such actions occur. We are grateful to all those who are working to ensure that these type of episodes do not occur in the future. We are happy to assist in any way that we can. JEWISH FEDErATION PrINCETON MErCEr BuCKS, BOArD OF rABBIS OF PrINCETON MErCEr BuCKS

Noting Milestones Achieved by Morven’s Retiring Executive Director Clare Smith

To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am writing to inform you that after 16 years, seven as executive director, Clare Smith is retiring this spring from Morven Museum and Garden. With her commitment to historic preservation, her ability to attract the highest quality staff, her boundless dedication and gentleness of character, Clare has led Morven from a young to a maturing museum. The significant milestones achieved during her directorship include: • Morven’s audience has increased significantly to an annual visitation of 15,000. recent annual growth of 32 percent has been the product of increased programming, marketing, and collaborations. • Recent exhibitions have been “game-changing” and underscore the Museum’s ongoing commitment to excellence. The Pine Barrens: A Legacy of Preservation, Coastal Impressions: Painters of the Jersey Shore, 1880-1940 and the current Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Couple of an Age have helped transform the museum and raise awareness of this important statewide resource. • Morven annually offers over 100 public programs including the exceedingly popular recent lectures associated with the Lindbergh exhibit and extending to the July 4th Jubilee, Morven in May, a monthly book group, horticultural classes, and a wonderful collaboration with the Arts Council of Princeton that incorporates special access to Morven’s unique history and site. • Lastly, under Clare’s direction Morven has fostered collaborations with local non-profit groups whose missions focus on underserved populations and includes Isles, Crisis Ministry of Princeton and Trenton, and TASK. She has been a determined advocate for them and others, as well. These are just a few examples of how Clare Smith’s commitment to excellence has contributed to the strong trajectory of success Morven is experiencing. I know you join the Board in extending our grateful thanks to Clare and every good wish for her well deserved retirement. We will miss her. GEOrGIA T. SCHLEy Morven Board President

With Earth Day Coming, Sustainable Princeton Has Formed The Zero Waste Working Group

To the Editor: This April 22 is the 46th Earth Day! It all began in 1970 when millions of people called for environmental reforms resulting in the introduction of recycling, keeping plastics, glass, and paper from our landfills for reuse and recycling. Where is Princeton almost 50 years later? As the first town in New Jersey to offer curbside food waste pick up, we have moved beyond traditional recycling and created a model program that other towns are copying and adopting. In its first five years, the Municipality’s Curbside Organics Program diverted more than 500 tons of organic matter from the landfill, turning it into beautiful soil. Princeton residents and retailers have also recycled almost 5 million plastic bags since last year through the ABC’s recycling Campaign, diverting some 7 tons of plastics from the landfill. The ABC’s is a joint effort between

Supporting Tim Quinn for Council Based On Leadership With Board of Ed., Planning Board

To the Editor: I am voting for Tim Quinn for Princeton Council in the June 7 election and urge that all eligible voters do the same. Tim has demonstrated through his leadership roles on Princeton’s Board of Education and Planning Board that he has the character and skills to be an excellent addition to our council. In our community, Tim demonstrated his leadership in tough circumstances. When he was president of the school board in 2011, Governor Christie cut the state aid contribution to Princeton schools by two-thirds — 5 percent of the budget — after appropriating most of the budget surplus in 2010. The school board had to take timely and critical spending actions that would impact students, teachers, and taxpayers. In this crisis situation Board members made the difficult decisions after thoroughly considering all perspectives. They communicated those decisions to constituents in a way that citizens understood their reasoning and that left everyone feeling that their individual concerns were heard and considered. This is the type of leadership that we need on Princeton Council. I have been concerned that the intense passion with which our current Council considers and legislates some of the issues they face can diminish the decisions made, interfere in their pursuit of a longer-term agenda, and obscure opportunities and risks that are appearing in the distance. I think that Tim’s thoughtful and collected approach will be invaluable to the overall performance of Council and thus benefit the long-term well being of our town. Tim has lived in Princeton for 25 years and works at the Princeton Public Library on its executive team. He is an avid cyclist. He believes in proactively planning and managing growth, expanding affordable housing, building strong neighborhoods, balancing affordability with quality municipal services, and building community consensus around positive changes. Princeton is fortunate to have so many citizens dedicating their efforts to the well being of our town. We’re fortunate that Tim Quinn wants to be on Council and I urge Princeton voters to give him that opportunity. SCOTT SILLArS Patton Avenue

As a Long-Time Resident, Anne Neumann Has Unique Perspective on Our Character

To the Editor: Over the next few weeks registered Princeton Democrats will have the opportunity to evaluate the perspectives and agendas of the candidates running in the June primary. Anne Neumann possesses a pragmatic insight into Princeton’s problems and needs, and a willingness to examine the issues to find solutions. Her experience of civic involvement has afforded her insight into the workings of municipal government and, as a long-time resident, she has a unique perspective on our character and sense of place. Anne’s forward-thinking initiatives focus on affordability, the environment, and sustainability, as well as maintaining the character of our unique neighborhoods. Among her initiatives, she advocates for the creation of a volunteer economic development commission to promote new businesses and to bring to fruition the Consolidation promise to establish Neighborhood Advisory Councils aimed at better communicating the specific concerns affecting localized residents. She proposes the adoption of zoning ordinances that facilitate private solutions to affordable housing such as accessory dwelling units and micro-housing. And as the municipality struggles to harmonize and adopt zoning policies, Anne calls for the expedited passage of a temporary moratorium on new construction to protect neighborhoods from over-development. Anne possesses the intellect and tenacity to research effective ways to govern and to move Princeton forward. Please join me in voting for Anne on June 7 so Princeton can benefit from her varied experience as she furthers her commitment to public service by offering fresh ideas to create an even better community.

Supporting Jenny Crumiller, Leticia Fraga For Princeton Council in June Primary

To the Editor: I support Jenny Crumiller and Leticia Fraga for Council. I support Jenny because she questions easy assumptions, taking a broad view of each question as it comes before the council. As a current Council member, she is a recognized advocate for neighborhoods, one who believes in protecting Princeton’s small-town character. We can count on Jenny to represent us fairly and objectively. I support Leticia because, like Jenny, she is a worker, someone who sets out to solve problems and follows through. She sets concrete goals and achieves them. The town’s civil rights commission was long ago folded into the Human Services Commission. Leticia, believing it should be revived, formed an advisory committee, studied Princeton’s civil rights experience, and interviewed previous commission members. As a result, Princeton is expected to introduce an ordinance later this month reestablishing an independent civil rights commission. As chair of the Board of LALDEF, when the Mercer County Community ID card program was terminated here in Princeton due to location and staffing issues, and knowing how important the ID is to many members of our community, Leticia and Bill Wakefield worked with a group of talented volunteers to make the ID card available at the Princeton Public Library on a weekly basis. The Community ID cards help non-driving senior citizens and disabled individuals as well as non-citizens. Since the program was introduced at the library, more than 100 have been issued, 40 of them this month alone. Leticia is an experienced professional negotiator and arbitrator who can work “across the aisle,” with different personalities and in response to different needs. She will be a creative and independent member of Princeton Council. My two votes go to Jenny Crumiller and Leticia Fraga. MAry CLurMAN Harris road

Sustainable Princeton, the Princeton Merchants Association, The Municipality of Princeton, and McCaffrey’s grocery store. Thanks to the advent of recycling and programs like those mentioned above, we estimate that Princeton now either composts or recycles approximately half of what we would have sent to the landfill on the first Earth Day in 1970. Where do we go from here? To answer that question, Sustainable Princeton has formed The Zero Waste Working Group comprised of local restaurant owners, retailers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. With your help, the working group looks forward to making measurable change between now and Earth Day 2017. We’ll begin by offering six ideas to get us all started toward a Zero Waste Princeton. 1. Commit to a zero waste mindset — reduce, reuse, recycle, Compost. 2. Let it Go by hosting a yard Sale on April 30th as part of the town wide Let It Go event. Sign up on the Princeton Public Library website. 3. Just say no to sending food waste to the landfill. Food scraps are a commodity to be turned back into soil. residents can join the Curbside Organics Program by calling (609) 688-2566. retailers can contact a number of compost facilities to pick up their food waste. And, those of us who compost in the back yard, should keep doing exactly what we are already doing! 4. Be Careful with Compostable Tableware — If you are in the Municipal Curbside Organics program, our current compost facility is unable to take compostable tableware such as cups and utensils. Keep putting food and uncoated paper waste in your organics bin — but please, while we’re working out details, direct anything else to recycling or trash. Be watching for more curbside composting information coming soon! 5. Watch for a How to recycle Brochure to be published soon to help answer your questions about what goes in which recycle bin and where residents can take those hard to recycle items for recycling. 6. Stay tuned for updates about food waste compost options for Mercer County including AgriArk, a locally owned clean compost facility in Hopewell which is already turning food waste into fertilizer. Also, watch for a potential BioGas Facility in Trenton. We look forward to working with you to reduce, reuse, and recycle to move our town closer to zero waste!

Dale Jamieson and Bonnie Nadzam will be at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, April 27 at 6 p.m. to discuss their book, Love in the Anthropocene (OR Books paperback). This collaboration between an award-winning novelist and a leading environmental philosopher is composed of five related stories that investigate a future bereft of natural environments, introduced with a discussion on the Anthropocene — the Age of Humanity — and concluding with an essay on love. Naomi Oreskes, the author of Merchants of Doubt writes, “Dale Jamieson and Bonnie Nadzam cause us to think — and to feel — what life will be like in a future where nothing is left that is spontaneous, accidental, or uncontrolled. A beautiful — and frightening — book.” Says novelist Jonathan Franzen, “I started reading [Jamieson’s prose] and couldn’t stop …. Jamieson, by elucidating our past failures and casting doubt on whether we’ll ever do any bet ter, sit uates [ climate change] within a humanely scaled context.” Dale Jamieson has held v isiting appointments at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is currently professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy, Affiliated Professor of Law, Affiliated Professor of Medical Ethics, and director of the Animal Studies Initiative at New York Universit y. He has published widely in environmental philosophy, animal studies, and ethics: most recently Reason in a Dark Time: Why the Struggle to Stop Climate Change Failed — and What It Means For Our Future. Love in the Anthropocene is his first work of fiction. Bonnie Nadzam has published fiction and essays in numerous journals and magazines, including Granta, Harper’s Magazine, Orion Magazine, The Iowa Review, Epoch, and The Kenyon Review. Her first novel, Lamb, was recipient of the Center for Fiction’s first novel award and was longlisted for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. It has been translated into several languages. Her second novel, Lions, will be out from Grove Press in July. ———

A ssistant Professor of French at Princeton University Christy Wampole will be reading from her new book Rootedness: The Ramifications of a Metaphor (Univ. of Chicago Press) at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday, April 26 at 6 p.m. She will be joined in a discussion of the book by her Princeton colleague, critic and theorist Eduardo Cadava. In Rootedness, Ms. Wampole looks toward philosophy, ecolog y, literature, h is tor y, a nd p olit ic s to demonstrate how the metaphor of the root — surfacing often in an unexpected variety of places, from the family tree to folk etymology to the language of exile — developed in 20th-century Europe.

This is an exemplary work of scholarship in its breadth and depth, not only as an investigation into a number of major works of European literature and thought, but also as an exploration of the human relationship to the other living beings that inhabit the earth.” Christy Wampole is the author of The Other Serious: Essays for the New American Generation, as well as a regular contributor to the New York Times and other publications. Eduardo Cadava’s books include Words of Light: Theses on the Photography of History, Emerson and the Climates of History, and Fazal Sheikh: Portraits. He is co-editor of The Itinerant Languages of Photography, Who Comes After the Subject?, and Cities Without Citizens. ———

She grew up in Princeton Junction. “We were in Princeton all the time,” she said. “My mom worked for St. Paul’s School, we shopped here, went to church here. Princeton has always been my home.” She will begin her new job as North Brunswick administrator on June 1, replacing Robert Lombard, who is retiring.

Doing Time at the Writer’s House With C.K. Williams, Chekhov, and Shakespeare You can’t write a sentence in English without Shakespeare being in there somewhere. —C.K. Williams he Writers House is located on Locust Walk, which runs through the heart of the Penn campus, like McCosh Walk at Princeton. For just over two decades the 165-year-old cottage has been a venue for readings, seminars, lectures, and events like the April 11 memorial celebration of the life and work of poet C.K. Williams (1936-2015), who died last September. The Giant Outside By six o’clock, when the first reader begins reciting the first of 15 Williams poems, the day feels mild and bright after a chilly overcast morning. The Writers House is a cozy Hobbitty sort of place: imagine a cottage in the Forest of Arden or a fairytale dwelling where the tallest person in the room is the poet who can’t be seen and yet is very much there in the minds of everyone present. In the fairytale, he’d be taller than the house, the giant peering in the window at a gathering that could be taking place in a line from his poem, “The Singing,” which ends, “sometimes it feels even when no one is there that someone something is watching and listening.” At such an occasion, with poetry on the agenda, it’s surely permitted to think that the someone watching and listening might be the poet himself, the giant outside with whom everyone seems to be on a first-name basis, like the character in the old play Where’s Charlie?, only Charlie’s here, being remembered by friends who agree that it’s impossible to recite his poetry without becoming him, speaking in his voice. Time Is on His Side In his book of essays, In Time: Poets, Poems, and the Rest, Williams writes of being “immersed in the both gratifying and occasionally maddening struggle” with his craft, and of his “gratitude and astonishment” that he “managed to stumble into a world the richness of which” he’d had no idea when he began. As the readings progress, contrary to the title of the book, we seem to be not in time but safely outside it, an illusion suggested by the holding pattern the day appears to be adhering to, the waning light sustained, evoking a Scheherazade scenario: as long as people keep reading, night will never fall and the poet of the hour will never leave us, safe forever in this storybook domain with its front window looking out on Locust Walk where people, students mostly, are constantly passing. As each reader comes to the lectern, a fluid camera-obscura-like frieze of passing figures is in motion behind them, like a live video feed of “people on their way somewhere.” The dreamlike effect is heightened if your view of the lectern is blocked, as mine is, meaning the only way to see the readers is on the screen of the monitor where the passers-by in the background seem even farther removed from the reality of the moment. It’s as if we’re in two different time zones. Outside

on Locust Walk it’s Eastern Standard, in here it’s C.K. Williams Time. “Wait!” In fact, the concluding stanza from “Wait,” a poem addressed to time, is reproduced on a placard handed out at the door. After picturing time as a butcher (“chop, hack, slash; cleaver, boning knife, ax”), the youth “for whom everything always was going too slowly, too slowly” becomes the one who’s chopping and slashing, gorging on time, swilling it, his heart

“firing, misfiring, /trying to heave itself back to its other way with you,” while the third stanza asks “When I ran/as though for my life, wasn’t I fleeing from you, or for you?” Clearly the final stanza was chosen because it’s the essence of C.K. Williams, of Charlie, calling “Wait, though, wait: I should tell you, too, how happy I am.” Now time is his beloved: “Please know I love especially you, how every morning you turn over/the languorous earth, for how would she know otherwise to do dawn,/ to do dusk, when all she hears from her speech-creatures is ‘Wait!’?/We whose anguished wish is that our last word not be ‘Wait.’” As the speech-creatures wait for time to

do dusk, the lectern belongs to the poet’s wife, lover, muse, saviour, first reader, the pronunciation of her name the subject of her husband’s brief instructive poem “Catherine” (“Cat-reen. And roll the r a little”). “Friends,” the yet-to-be-published composition she reads, is addressed to those who have gone, yet “how precious/ you remain how little your essential nature/has altered.” Catherine reads the last lines as if she were saying them to her husband, “here we laughed here danced

“Dear Chekhov” Like others who were at the Writers House that day, I’ve been thinking messages to Charlie ever since September 20, 2015, now more than ever. Thinking if we could meet for coffee at the Boro Bean in Hopewell, I’d be hanging on his ear about “dear Chekhov,” who turns up like the mystery guest in “Jew on Bridge,” a poem inspired by Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment, and Raskolnikov, and read at the memorial by Michael Wood. I can imagine the direction the conversation would take. After asking about the source for his reference to “Chekhov’s ensemble of Jews wailing for a wedding,” I’d mention Chekhovian Jewesses like the jolly, eloquent, devious and devastating Susanna in “Mire,” and we’d talk about Dostoevsky, whom he esteemed “beyond almost all who ever scraped with a pen,” and I’d tell him about studying Crime and Punishment my freshman year in college with a girl, and how we fell in love, and Charlie would be amused at the notion of a couple of students in Indiana bonding over such a book, then he’d tell me about visiting St. Petersburg (“I was there. Whores, beggars,/derelict men with flattened noses”), and I’d get back to Chekhov, who used to keep a humane trap for mice on a bookcase and carry them by the tail to a Tartar cemetery where he let them go, whereupon Charlie would recall how Chekhov’s body was transported to Moscow by train in a refrigerated car marked For the Conveyance of Oysters. Shakespeare’s 400th And if we were having coffee this week, sharing an awareness of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death Saturday, I’d tell him how Berlioz’s music from Romeo and Juliet came jingling tinkling dancing over the car radio the other day, a musical flight of fancy composed for Mercutio’s celebration of Queen Mab, the fairies’ midwife, and after mentioning how Berlioz with his immense ensembles must have kept half the musicians in Paris employed, he’d recite the last lines of Mercutio’s speech, “This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,/That presses them and learns them first to bear, /Making them women of good carriage,” which prompts him to say, “You can’t write a sentence in English without Shakespeare being in there somewhere,” and I’d remember the line from his giddy litany of beloved poets in “The Foundation,” one of the poems read on April 11, “my giants, my Whitman, my Shakespeare, my Dante and Homer.” hen I’d think, wait, this can’t be, we’re talking about April 23, 2016, it’s seven months after September 20, 2015, never mind, we can deal with that little detail, put it down to poetic license. And I’d tell him about the celebration at the Writers House where the giant peered in the window and everyone called him Charlie. —Stuart Mitchner

all falls away/only the tattered snatches of what we call past/echo out from the isolate provinces of time” — reminding us where we are, where we’ve been, between six and seven-thirty in the Writers House off Locust Walk in Philadelphia. Then, after a brief silence, the poet’s recorded voice is heard musing on “forgiveness and repair” and “the garments of the mind” in his poem, “Invisible Mending,” where three women “old as angels” benignly “gather up worn edges to be bound” as they “take the fabric to its last.” Falling Ill, a collection of poems writBy now it’s dark outside, people are ten during C.K.

Ann McCarthy, Communications Director of EDENS, in an email. “We are committed to creating a vibrant and welcoming center of community life at Princeton Shopping Center. As our efforts progress, our patrons will find that we are continuing to craft an inviting marketplace and meeting place.” At a recent meeting of shopping center tenants with EDENS, the company laid out plans for new construction and some future plans. “They said it’s been hard for them to rent because of the construction that’s coming and that once that’s over it will be easier for them to rent,” said George Smith, an owner of Ace Hardware, which has been in the shopping center for 14 years and has another 15 years left on its lease. “There are all kinds of rumors going around,” Mr. Smith said. “It’s not a secret that they kind of wait until a lease is up and then raise the rent if it’s not a long lease, and then only give maybe a year lease. That’s difficult for places like Jordan’s. How do you plan, if you buy [inventory] way in advance, if the

landlord won’t get back to you with a lease?” The empty storefronts at the center are a concern. “We never used to have all of these openings,” Mr. Smith said. “It doesn’t seem like EDENS’ philosophy is to aggressively go after new people. But if they’re raising their rents, then they’ll have to. At the meeting where they were asked how they are going to attract customers, they really didn’t answer.” At Communiversity last weekend, EDENS heard from several residents about the state of the shopping center. Ms. McCarthy said the company shared with the residents the details of “steps we are taking to improve the center over the coming months.” Those plans are on display at the shopping center this

week and next. As outlined by Ms. McCarthy, they include repairing and repaving parking lots, improving parking lot layout and circulation, new LED lights throughout the parking lot, landscaping enhancements including more than 500 new trees and shrubs and new furniture, expanding walkways, repainting and refreshing all building facades, and increasing the number of bike racks. Those improvements are expected to be completed by next fall. Addressing rumors that have circulated that EDENS wants to add a residential element to the shopping center, Ms. McCarthy said, “We have no plans for a residential component at this time.” —Anne Levin

The Islamic State is one of the most lethal and successful jihadist groups in modern history, surpassing even al-Qaeda. Thousands of its followers have marched across Syria and Iraq, subjugating millions, enslaving women, beheading captives, and daring anyone to stop them. Thousands more have spread terror beyond the Middle East under the Islamic State’s black flag. Based almost entirely on primary sources in Arabic-including ancient religious texts and secret al-Qaeda and Islamic State letters that few have seen, William McCants’ The ISIS Apocalypse explores how religious fervor, strategic calculation and doomsday prophecy shaped the Islamic State’s past and foreshadow its dark future.

ohann Sebastian Bach never heard a complete performance of his now classic Mass in B Minor in his lifetime, but over the past 150 years, this five-part work has become a staple of the choral repertory. Loaded with instrumentallyconceived choral coloratura and exacting counterpoint, the Mass in B Minor is considered a pinnacle of choral performance toward which choruses aspire. The Princeton University Glee Club undertook this vocal and instrumental challenge last Sunday evening with a historically informed and clean performance in Richardson Auditorium. Conductor Gabriel Crouch led the 80-voice Glee Club, chamber orchestra, and four vocal soloists in a performance which was lean, sensitive to the text, and strong to the very last note. The Mass offers a number of choices in vocal soloists; some conductors hire as many as six soloists to address the ranges and textures of the different arias within the work. The first aria, “Laudamus Te,” requires flexibility of voice and a crystalline lightness, which Sunday night was provided by soprano Jessica Petrus. A singer with command over a wide range of music, Ms. Petrus handled well the vocal filigree of this aria, subtly accompanied by obbligato violin (played by concertmistress Cynthia Roberts) and continuo lower strings and harpsichord. The suppleness of “Laudamus Te” contrasted with the dark pathos of “Agnus Dei,” sung by mezzo-soprano Barbara Rearick with a richness of voice that easily maneuvered the difficult melodic skips. Accompanied by violins playing very drily, Ms. Rearick easily brought out the plaintive nature and long lines of the aria. Ms. Petrus and Ms. Rearick were paired together in duets within the Mass, and both were able to sing through the orchestra well. The two bass arias of the Mass cover a wide vocal range from high baritone to low bass, and Dashon Burton had no trouble singing it all. His first aria, “Quoniam Tu Solus,” was in a very quick tempo, which Mr. Burton had no trouble handling. The tempo was a bit more problematic for hornist Todd Williams, who accompanied the aria, but the overall effect was very commanding. Mr. Burton sang his second aria with quiet reverence, accompanied by an elegant pair of oboes played by Geoffrey Burgess and Meg Owens. Tenor Thomas Cooley rounded out the quartet, singing the “Benedictus” especially cleanly, in what was a very exposed vocal line,

accompanied by very subtle violins, solo flute, and continuo. Bach’s choral lines convey the passion of the Latin mass text. The chorus starts right in with reverence in the opening “Kyrie,” conveyed with solid diction and a tempo which did not slow down the mood which Mr. Crouch was setting for the entire Mass. Mr. Crouch built the intensity well, and it was clear from the outset that the emphasis in this performance would be on precision. Melodic figures in the chorus matched the instrumentalists perfectly, and Mr. Crouch had trained the singers to pay particular attention to articulation which allowed phrases to clear acoustically in the hall before the next phrase started. The tenor sectional sound was full and clear, while the alto sectional sound was rich. The basses provided a real foundation to the texture, and were especially clean in an exposed coloratura line in the “Et Resurrexit” section. Mr. Crouch likes his choral soprano sound lean, and throughout the performance, the top soprano sound never became muddied or fatigued. The dynamic contrasts and phrasing within the choral sections also eased the job for the singers and prevented the chorus from becoming too tired. Mr. Crouch assembled an orchestral ensemble of period instruments for this performance, drawing from the best in the business. Two of the valveless trumpet players were members of the Canadian Brass, and continuo keyboardist Kerry Heimann ably switched back and forth between portatif organ and harpsichord. The orchestra was never overpowering; most effective was the “Crucifixus” movement, in which driving violin strokes replicated nails in the cross. Each of the arias in this Mass is accompanied by an obbligato solo instrument, and the solo flute, violin, and paired oboes heard were consistently graceful and complementary to the voice being accompanied. In addition to concertmistress Ms. Roberts and oboist Mr. Burgess, solo flutist Anne Briggs appeared several times in the Mass, each time playing supple and flowing accompaniment on Baroque flute. ach’s Mass in B Minor was a challenging undertaking for the University Glee Club, but especially for the seniors, this was a tremendous way to close the season, and send the singers off for the summer (or their careers) with an appreciation of one of the great masters of choral music. —Nancy Plum

Homer’s Penelope is a central figure in the poetry of The Odyssey. Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider and playwright Ellen McLaughlin, via video, discuss the iconic figure and the influence of her story upon their works in a presentation led by PSO Assistant Conductor John Devlin.

Penelope, her critically-acclaimed song cycle for mezzo and chamber ensemble, has been performed over 40 times in the United States and Europe. Her most recent work Hiraeth was cocommissioned by the PSO for its 2015-16 season.

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Programs in Dance and Visual Arts at Princeton University will present Petrichor, a new interactive performance work by senior Bree White that incorporates dance, sculpture, music, and text/language to explore being “other.” Performances will be held April 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. and April 21 and 22 at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. at the Patricia and Ward Hagan ’48 Dance Studio at 185 Nassau Street. The performances are free and open to the public, however seating for each performance is limited and reservations are recommended. White is majoring in visual arts through a collaborative program between the department of art and archaeology and the Program in Visual Arts at Princeton, as well as pursuing a certificate in the Program in Dance. Petrichor brings both areas of study together. In exploring the idea of being “other,” White examines issues related to dealing with feelings of shame around identit y and perceptions of the appearance of one’s body, experienced by both individuals and communities of people. The performance includes some nudity.

and unique sculptural work in front of the audience followed by movement, music, and spoken improvisation by a cast of 12 performers, who shared their own experiences and issues of identity with White in the creation of the piece. The title, Petrichor, is defined as the smell of earth after it has rained. White’s advisers for the project include Joe Scanlan, director of the Program in Visual Arts; Program in Dance faculty member Rebecca Lazier, and current Princeton Arts Fellow Pavel Zustiak. The all-student cast includes Elena Anamos ’19, Jessica Chambers ’18, Sergio Cruz ’18, Yasmine Eichbaum ’18, Jake Hamel ’18, Carson Hughes ’16, Anna Kimmel ’18, Laura Ong ’17, Natalie Plonk ’18, Alexa Pugh ’16, Rachel Schwartz ’18, and Jhor van der Horst ’19. Lighting for the production is by Cecilia Durbin, with music and sound design created by Vince Di Mura, the Lewis Center’s resident musical director and composer. Laura Ong ’17 serves as dramaturge.

Spring Home Spring Is Here and Outdoor Living Space Is More Important Than Ever to Homeowners We may not be in Florida or California but spending time outdoors is just as popular here — and perhaps even more welcome since it is not always a congenial year-round opportunity. Indeed, as more and more homeowners enjoy taking “staycations” — that is spending more time in their own backyard, — it’s time to get the deck or patio ready for summertime fun. Making sure these structures are in good repair as the season begins can ensure months of outdoor pleasure. Whether repair, renovation, or even replacement is needed, a number of area experts can provide professional advice and service. “Our firm has been replacing quite a few old decks in the last few years,” reports Steven Doerler, owner of Doerler Landscapes Inc. in Yardville. “A lot of our clients have decks that were built 20 or 30 years ago, and the pressure-treated sub structure has started to reach its life expectancy and is beginning to rot away. We are also finding that a lot of the surface decking, especially if it is

wood, is starting to deteriorate and either looks unsightly or is creating a hazard. We have been replacing some of these old decks with new ones constructed with composite or wood decking. We have also removed quite a few decks and replaced them with either ground level patios or raised terraces.” Areas of Concern “If you are considering the replacement of an existing deck, generally, the decking surface and railings are all that will need to be replaced,” explains Matthew Bonacci, owner of Black Bear Builders in Princeton. “Most decks framed within the last 20 years (if done to code and inspected) are still in good shape structurally because most of the framing is treated, anchored in place with zinc plated hangers/fasteners, and shielded from the weather. If your deck is much older, the two main areas of concern are any framing that is in contact with the ground and the attachment of the deck (ledger) to the house. “Your deck is typically the only place where people gather in large numbers in a small

area, so the live loads on decks can become extremely heavy. If the deck is more than 20 years old, it is a good idea to have the structure checked by a professional if you plan to have a large group on it.” Popular decking surfaces include natural wood products, such as Southern pine, cedar, and Ipe or mahogany, adds Mr. Bonacci. Composites, including Wolf, Trex, or Evergrain, are also favored. “We have found that composites (we typically recommend Wolf) with hidden fastening systems are a great choice for decking and railings. In the northeast, the freezing winters and humid summers wreak havoc on any natural materials used outdoors. Pressure treated Southern pine decking and railings have long been the budget-conscious choice, but as with any natural product, the upkeep in the long run can eat away at the upfront savings. “Generally a wood deck should be power-washed annually and then cleaned/resealed (stained) every two years, which can be time consuming and expensive. We’ve seen

A fire pit is built into the wall. composite decks that were installed 10 years ago that still look new if maintained with annual power-washing. Also, the newer composite products have come a long way with fade-resistance and their ability to mimic wood.

Cedar Creek Landscapes in Ewing, specializes in patios and hardscapes. He points out that many of his customers are interested in retaining walls, fireplaces and fire pits, outdoor grill stations, and/or full kitchens, and lighting on their patios today. Traditional Choice “We find that the majority of our clients want natural stone patios,” he reports. “Bluestone is the traditional choice, and can be either natural (rough faces/edges, random sizes) or saw-cut and thermal (clean faces, clean square edges) in thicknesses ranging from ¾ inch to two inches. Other popular natural stones include brown stone, slate, and Kearney stone.” “There are sealers that can be applied to paver patios to prevent damage, staining, and fading,” he adds. “However, if you have an existing patio that is heaving (that is, it is uneven, due to roots or improper installation), or if the stone is

cracked, this would be a good time to replace it.” A variety of special features are increasingly popular today, agree the experts. “Our clients are requesting pavilions or overhead structures to be added to their decks or patios,” reports Steven Doerler. “We are seeing trends that reflect the customers’ desire to extend the use of their outdoor rooms to all four seasons and create a space that is an extension of their interior spaces. “Overhead structures, which may also consist of a pergola, act like the ceiling of an outdoor room and provide a sense of enclosure. Structures allow for the addition of myriad amenities, such as overhead lights, outdoor fans, and infrared heating elements, just to name a few. Other popular features are outdoor kitchen stations,

pizza ovens, fire elements, water features, seating walls, and flat screen TVs. “Popular design of a new deck or patio should always trend back to the function of the space,” continues Mr. Doerler. “As a design-focused firm, we always recommend that our clients consider the utilization of the outdoor space as well as any potential amenities that may be desired. The ultimate form or configuration should grow as part of an organic design process that complements existing architecture and provides a solution for the function of the space. There is a simple adage that we follow closely. Form follows function.” “Bells and Whistles” Mr. Bonacci also notes that customers are opting for more and more “bells and whistles” Continued on Next Page

as part of their outdoor living space today. “Backyard projects these days often incorporate multi-tiered decks/patios, sitting walls, bars, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens. The days of the cook being forced to grill alone in the rain are being replaced by built-in grilling stations beneath pavilion roofs with flat screen TVs and sound systems. “Pavilion roofs are typically low-sloping to minimize blocking outdoor views from the home, and can be free-standing or attached to the house.

Many are equipped with builtin infrared heaters to extend the outdoor season into early spring and fall. Also, homeowners who want protection from bug bites but don’t want a traditional screened porch may incorporate ‘Phantom Screen’ mechanical systems or bars with sliding screen curtains to keep out unwanted insects and retain the open feel of the pavilion roof when not in use. “Built-in planters are another nice touch,” he adds, “but they have to be engineered properly in order to allow for proper drainage.

steel liners can often be used to keep the soil and moisture away from the wood.” We all welcome those long summer days with light lasting into evening, but somehow, it never seems to be long enough. More and more people are choosing to “light up the night” with a variety of outdoor landscape lighting features. Well-placed illumination can enhance the ambiance of your nightscape as well as providing safety and security. “Outdoor lighting is a favorite feature today,” reports Brian Knisely. “It can be used to light pathways and driveways, but also can be configured with walls, steps, and patios as well as the very popular up-lighting to illuminate trees and shrubs.”

Some homeowners select solar lighting, but this is not always suitable, he points out. “Solar lighting is not as effective because the lighting is too dim for most people’s taste. Low voltage is the most desirable type of landscape lighting.” “Less is More” Steven Doerler also emphasizes the use of low voltage LED light fixtures. “The new style transformers along with LED light fixtures permits you to use less wire and install more fixtures due to the fact that LED fixtures use less wattage. The philosophy we convey to clients when it comes to lighting is that ‘less is more.’ We prefer subtle lighting so that the light source doesn’t necessarily stand out during the day. Our clients often have us create dramatic effects by up-

lighting or down-lighting trees, installing accent lights on walls or plantings, and even lightly flooding structures. “Many of our deck and patio projects include down-lights in the caps of walls or steps,” he adds. “These lighting effects can be installed for safety or drama and follow our general philosophy of providing subtle light fixtures. When illuminating walkways, pathways, or driveways, we generally recommend simple and appropriately designed fixtures that can provide discreet visual safety and drama without creating the ‘airport runway’ effect.” Mr. Bonacci’s customers are also enjoying the addition of landscape lighting to their property, he notes. “Another decking trend is to incorporate lighting into the railing posts and stair risers. Composite railing manufacturers offer methods for placing low-voltage systems throughout the deck, and many of them offer solar options as well. This low level of lighting at the stairs and around the perimeter creates a nice effect and helps with safety.” The faster speed of life today, with the extreme focus on technology and instant communication frequently leaves little time to spend enjoying the pleasures of the natural world. As Mr. Bonacci points out, “In the modern world, we sometimes find ourselves disconnected from nature, and studies have shown that

Family camping trips and hiking/canoeing excursions can often be laborious to plan and require distant travel, so many homeowners are finding it more efficient and easier to spend their outdoor time much closer to home.” Indeed, for many, there is “No Place Like Home!” —Jean Stratton

Nonprofit community development corporations (CDCs) in Mercer County have contributed over $650 million dollars for New Jersey’s economy according to a recent report from the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey (the Network). The report is a supplement to a study highlighting the investments made by the sector since 1989 and the resu lt ing impact on t he state’s communities. “The nonprofit community development sector has been a strong contributor to the area and the state’s economy, making investments that have improved the quality of our neighborhoods as well as produce homes and jobs,” said Staci Berger, president and chief executive officer of the Network. “These missiondriven organizations are creating opportunities for thousands of New Jersey residents while generating much needed tax revenue for these counties and all of New Jersey.” Accord i ng to t he new repor t, Mercer County nonprofit CDCs have completed 84 developments which have spurred 4,400 jobs and $330 million in labor income in the last 25 years. “Here in Princeton, we have worked with our communit y par tners to help ensure that people have access to homes they can afford and the opportunity to build more productive and fulfilling lives — while contributing to the vibrancy of our community,” said Edward Truscelli, executive director of Princeton Community Housing. “We are proud to be part of the fabric of opportunity here in Princeton, and just as proud to be part of the larger nonprofit community here in Mercer County.”

BIO - FERTILIZATION A MUST THIS SPRING with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

If you were among the fortunate to escape serious loss and damage of mature trees and shrubs during this past winter’s storms, you may well want to consider a valuable preventive measure this spring. Ornamental plantings (those in our gardens) need an extra dose of TLC now. Most urban landscape soils are in poor condition, they are highly compacted and too low in organic matter forcing trees and shrubs to grow under stress. Healthy soil biology allows plants to maximize soil fertility even in the harshest urban environments. Come Springtime, our trees will experience much slower growth while they rebuild their defenses. Fertilization now will encourage root growth and give them a head start. A good root system is necessary for overcoming environmental stress. Woodwinds’ specially formulated liquid fertilizer and root-promoter, decreases soil compaction while increasing air and water retention, both of which are essential for nutrient uptake by the trees’ roots. The biological products we use provide a “natural systems” approach to soil health, which assists the roots of plants, trees, flowers and lawns to improved access to water, minerals and nutrients, allowing plants to flourish and become more resistant to any environmental stress and subsequent insect and disease attack. A professional evaluation by a trained arborist can help improve current conditions and protect against future problems. Call WOODWINDS (609)924-3500 today to schedule a spring tour of your garden.

Brain Altered Convict Chases International Terrorists in Thriller

However, because of the emergency created by Pope’s death, Franks is ordered to immediately implant Pope’s mind into that of Jericho (Kevin Costner), a death-row inmate who is a perfect candidate to be used as a guinea pig. Lo and behold, the psychopathic murderer awakens from the experimental surgery eager to track down The Dutchman as well as the criminals who killed Pope. That is the point of departure of Criminal, a science fiction splatterfest directed by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman). As an interesting aside, the movie is Ryan Reynolds’s third movie that involves a brain swap, his latest one being last fall’s Self/less. There, however, he played the recipient rather than the donor. There isn’t much point in reciting the storyline, since it makes even less sense than the picture’s farfetched premise. Still, this high body count action thriller may appeal to people who enjoy watching folks being blown away in a spectacular fashion. The film fritters away the talents of an impressive cast which includes Reynolds, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, and Kevin Costner. There are also a fair amount of beautiful women, such as Antje Traue, Alice Eve, Natalie Burn, and Gal Gadot (who plays Pope’s widow, Jill). As you might expect, Jill and her daughter, Emma (Lara Decaro), are in for the surprise of their lives when their husband and father returns reincarnated as a redeemed convict who needs a loving family. Good (HH). Rated R for per vasive profanity and MY PROCEDURE ISN’T YET READY FOR HUMANS: Government scientist Dr. Franks (Tommy Lee graphic violence. Running Jones) tries to explain that his mind implantation procedure, that has so far worked on animals, time: 113 minutes. Disrequires much more research before it can be tried on human beings. Nonetheless, the CIA’s tributor: Summit Entertainunexpected assassination of crack agent Bill Pope, and the loss of his capabilities, makes the ment. agency decide that the experimental procedure is worth the risk.

IA Agent Bill Pope (Ryan Reynolds) was in London on assignment to deliver a ransom to a computer hacker called the “The Dutchman” (Michael Pitt) when he was assassinated by a terrorist (Jordi Molla) and his vicious gun moll (Antje Traue). This should have been a big loss for the CIA because the veteran spy’s talents and abilities were a valuable asset for the agency. Luckily, government scientist Dr. Franks (Tommy Lee Jones) has been working on transferring memories from one brain to another. Although he’s been successful in several attempts with animals, he thinks it will be at least five years until the procedure will be ready for trials in humans.

Tiger Softball Makes Statement in Ivy South Race, Taking 3 of 4 from Penn to Solidify Hold on 1st Place

aving not won its season series against Penn since 2008, the Princeton University softball team was looking to make a statement in Ivy League South Division play as it hosted the Quakers last weekend for a pair of doubleheaders. “This is definitely our south division rival, and it has been for a long time; the upperclassmen set the tone for the the week for just preparing as best we could, said Princeton head coach Lisa Van Ackeren, whose team led the Ivy South starting the weekend. “The mindset going in was to treat these games the same way we have treated every other game and put your best foot forward.” The Tigers put their best foot forward in the opening game of the weekend, rallying from a 5-2 second inning deficit to pull out a 7-6 win on a walk-off pinch hit single by senior co-captain Kayla Bose in the bottom of the seventh. “It was very crucial to win the first game and for a number of reasons,” said Van Ackeren. “One is that it set the tone for the weekend; two, because we lost a ton of one run games this year and just recently we have been finding ways to win those one run games. I think the experience of having those tight games in general throughout the year has been a huge help for us because in the seventh inning our team plays really relaxed. We are prepared for those moments. It can get really tight and really intense. but we have been in so many tight games that it almost doesn’t faze them any more.” In Van Ackeren’s view, it was fitting that Bose got the game-winning hit in the opener. “Kayla is unreal, she is the emotional leader of the team and she is the backbone of everything we have been able to accomplish,” asserted Van Ackeren. “As a senior captain, she and Shanna Christian have just done an incredible job with the group. The leadership on the team is just so key and when something special like this weekend happens, it really has to come from within the core of the team. Kayla and Shanna both just step into

those big moments and do what they need to do for their team. Kayla was called upon in a big moment and she was ready for it.” After the Princeton bats went quiet in Game 2 in a 4-0 defeat, the Tigers were determined to come out swinging on Sunday, “We just needed to do a better job of making adjustments,” said Van Ackeren. “I was proud of the effort the next day. We came out and I think showed right away that we were going to be a better team than we were on Saturday.” In the opener in Sunday, the Tigers trailed 2-0 in the second and 4-2 in the sixth but rallied again as freshman Mikayla Blaska contributed a two-run pinch hit double in the bottom of the sixth to make it a 4-4 game and classmate Keeley Walsh then hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh to give Princeton a 5-4 win. “I think pinch hitting performances can be so incredible for morale; Mikayla Blaska hadn’t played an inning all weekend and she comes into the game in a huge moment,” said Van Ackeren. “As a freshman, she doesn’t let the moment get bigger than she knows what she can do. She had a great at bat; we put a runner in motion at first and she squared the ball up and two runs scored. I think after that happened our team felt we are going to win this.” In the nightcap, the Tigers rolled to a 10-4 win as freshman Kaylee Grant went 3-for-3 with a homer and a double to lead the way for Princeton. “She has done a really good job; she is just so grounded and consistent,” said Van Ackeren of Grant, who is now hitting .350 with team-highs in homers (3) and RBIs (18). “It really doesn’t matter what the situation is, she treats every at-bat the same way. I think that is why she has been so successful down the stretch. She used the first part of the season as learning opportunities. She works her butt off at it. Every at-bat, her body language, and her routine, everything is always the same. I think that consistency in her approach makes her successful in big moments.”

Sophomore shortstop Danielle Dockx also had a big game in the finale against Penn, going 3-for-4 with a three-run homer. “It was another great week of practice for her, she came in for extra reps; she is the queen of extra reps, that is her nickname on the team,” added Van Ackeren. “She just loves to be at the ballfield, she can’t get enough. I am very happy for her because no kid deserves it more than she does with the way that she works at it.” The Tigers also got good work from its pitching staff over the weekend. “Our pitching staff has been really key to that effort, coming into that seventh inning the first game on Sunday, Claire Klausner gave us that momentum SPECIAL K: Princeton University softball player Kayla Bose by having a really strong inning,” heads to first base in recent action. Last Saturday, senior star said Van Ackeren. and co-captain Bose got a pinch-hit walk-off single to give “We came in and had the will to Princeton a 7-6 win over Penn in Game 1 in the first game of a just get it done.

Star Defender Bannantine Enjoys Big Senior Day As Princeton Women’s Lax Rallies to Edge Cornell Everything came up roses for Liz Bannantine as the 11th-ranked Princeton University women’s lacrosse team hosted No. 20 Cornell last Saturday in a clash of teams that were undefeated in Ivy League play coming into the day. T he s en ior co - captain and three-time All-Ivy defender was honored before the game along with her classmates as the program held its annual Senior Day ceremony. Then Bannantine helped Princeton overcome a 5-3 deficit in the second half to pull out an 8-7 win over the Big Red. After ward, holding the

b ou qu e t of f lower s she received in the pregame ceremony, a grinning Bannantine said emotions were running high for her from the start of the day. “The pregame was amazing; our whole team did such a good job of making us feel special today,” said Bannantine, a 5’9 native of Baltimore, Md. whose fellow seniors on the team are Anna Menke, Stephanie Paloscio, Anya Gersoff, and Maddy Lynch. “It is beautiful weather. I could not have pictured a better day to honor our senior class. We have come so far as a class. It was really, really something special to

be out there.” It took a special effort from the Tigers to overcome a determined Cornell squad which led 4-2 at halftime and 5-3 with 19:49 left in regulation. “We had high energy coming out in the second half; we knew that we could chip away little by little at the lead,” said Bannantine. “I think we got a huge spark from kids off the bench today; they just carried us. It was great to see Allie Rogers come in; she had really crucial goals. I think our middies were our work horses today. T hey were up and down the field, making huge plays so my hat is off to them.” As usual, Princeton’s veteran defensive unit made

some big plays, holding the Big Red to a pair of goals in the last 19:49 of the contest. “I feel so lucky as a senior to have all these kids come back,” said Bannantine, who is joined on the back line by classmate Lynch, junior Amanda Leavell, junior Madeline Rodriguez, and freshman Alex Argo, with junior Ellie DeGarmo in goal. “It is not just me leading, we have every kid step up in their own way. We come together, we support each other, and we fight for each other. We just knew we had to keep playing our game and executing the game plan. Our coaches did a really good job of calling in certain plays that we needed to have so it was good all around.” Bannantine was in on the final stop of the day as she had the ball on her stick after a save by DeGarmo in

PRINCETON AFTERCARE

the waning seconds of the contest. “It was a lit tle ner ve wracking having it behind t he net,” rec a lle d B a n nantine, who now has 19 ground balls and 17 caused turnovers so far this season. “I knew I just needed to hold it for a couple more seconds before I could toss it down the field.” With Princeton coming into Sat urday w it h four one-goal wins under its belt this season, the Tigers know how to take care of business in the final seconds. “I think coming up in the clutch and being able to be composed in those t ype of situations and games is something that we have learned from having four one-goal games behind us,” said Bannantine. “Knowing that even in a close game, we can still execute and do what we need to do, I think having that experience is pretty great going down the end of the line.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Chris Sailer was looking for her team to execute better on attack as it headed into the second half against Cornell. “The defense was playing well, we just decided that we needed to do some different things offensively,” said Sailer. “We weren’t getting great looks so we decided we needed to go with a quicker, faster, and more dodge oriented offense. We made some personnel changes and the kids really responded well. We got some great transition goals. Kathryn Hallett was busting, she was really working hard in transition. She opened up a couple of transition goals for us. We started dodging harder and we had our heads up to look to the inside.” The Tigers got some heads up play from freshman Rogers, who came into the day with one goal on the season and proceeded to score backto-back goals in Princeton’s late surge. “We know she has that potential in her,” said Sailer, who got three goals from Ellie McNulty with Hallett chipping in two assists. “It was great to see her respond really well when given the opportunity. We

went with her, Lauren Steidl, and Hailey Giraldi. We just tried a little bit of a different lineup; they played really well together and opened up some opportunities.” Princeton’s defensive unit played well together, helping to spark the rally. “Ellie and the defensive unit was phenomenal,” said Sailer, whose junior goalie DeG ar mo had a careerhigh 16 saves and was later named the Iv y Defensive Player of the Week. “I get to the point where I hope the other team shoots because I feel like we will get the ball back. She is just playing so consistently well, seeing the ball so well. The defense was able to create a lot of opportunities for our attack.” By virtue of the win, the Tigers have the opportunity to take control of the Ivy League race and host the league’s postseason tournament if they can post wins when they face No. 14 Penn (9-3 overall, 3-1 Ivy) on April 20 at home before playing at Columbia (6-7 overall, 1-4 Ivy) on April 23. “It is going to be a battle,” said Sailer, referring to the always-heated matchup with the Quakers. “We want to win the Ivy League first, your champion is the winner of the regular season. We have got to beat Penn and two other teams to do that; absolutely we want to play here at home.” Bannantine, for her part, would like to have some postseason home games. “Penn is always a big game for us no matter what but really every Ivy game is a championship game for us, we have to have that mentality going forward,” said Bannantine. “It is all about us; it starts with us and what we need to do to execute. That is a huge point of pride for us, we love being home; Class of ’52 is everything for us. I think we are going to be able to do it this year and it is what we want to do. Our hats are off to Cornell too, they are a very good team on transition. I think they are definitely a good team to prepare us for the postseason, especially a tight game like that where every ball is important.” —Bill Alden

Even though the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team trailed Dartmouth 3-0 at halftime last Saturday, Gavin McBride sensed that the Tigers just needed to loosen up a little bit to get in synch. “We just star ted slow; I think we were trying to force things a little bit too much ; we calmed dow n and listened to our leader and captain Ryan Ambler,” recalled junior attackman McBride. “It w as j u s t play ou r game, relax, and have fun out there, and play how we know how to play.” McBride helped get the Tigers on the board, getting an assist as sophomore star Austin Sims fired a shot into the back of the net 3:26 into the third quarter. “We were pat ient, we didn’t take the first look and we got all the way through our set,” said McBride, reflecting on the tally. “Austin is obv iously a great shooter so getting him the ball is always great; he canned it from about 14 yards out.” McBride added a goal in the third quarter and tallied two more in the fourth as Princeton pulled away to a 7-3 win, improving to 4-7

overall and 1-3 Ivy League. “It is always nice to see the first one go in and have the floodgates open a little bit,” said McBride, who now has a hat trick in three straight games. “Once we saw the first one go in, I thought we got into a rhythm and they all started going from there. They started coming a little bit easier at that point. After not scoring a point as a freshman in 2014, McBride has now tallied at least one point in 26 straight games. “Playing with guys like Ryan A mbler and R iley Thompson is big, they are probably two of the smartest and most consistent lacrosse players I have played with in my life,” said McBride, a 5’10, 180-pound native of Bryn Mawr, Pa. who now has 19 goals on the season, second-best on the team. “They are always putting me in unbelievable situations. I know if I pass it to them, they are always going to bury it and I think they have that same trust in me.” McBride has put in extra time on the practice field to take advantage of those scoring situations.

“We have got great coaches here, we try to shoot every day, whether it is with coach ( Matt) Madalon or coach (Dan) Carson or with Ryan or Riley,” said McBride. “It is lot of extra shooting and a lot of reps.” Interim head coach Madalon is proud of how McBride has made himself into a great weapon for the Tigers. “He is Mr. Consistent for us, he knows the offense as good as anyone,” said Madalon. “He is like having a second coach on the field, he and Ryan Ambler are literally coaches on the field. They have done an incredible job owning this offense and they are very impressive young men.” Despite seeing his team go scoreless in the first half, something Princeton hadn’t done since 2006, Madalon was confident that the offense would get going. “It is just about staying the course, that is what it is really about,” added Madalon, who also got goals from Bobby Weaver, Sean Connors, and Sam Gravitte in the win over the Big Green. “Our offense was working, we just weren’t cashing in. We believe in our systems and we believe in each other and it was just a matter of time until we stacked plays on top of each other.” I n hold i ng Dar t m out h scoreless in the second half, the Tigers made plays in other parts of the field. “Our defense is really coming into their own,” asserted Madalon. “Those guys have done a nice job upping their communication, dialing in their fundamentals and just manufacturing stops; that is the biggest thing. We get 15 saves from Tyler Blaisdell in goal and 10-for-14 face-offs for Sam Bonafede at the X; those are difference makers.” The win over Dartmouth kept Princeton in the race for one of the four spots in the Ivy postseason tournament and the Tigers head to Harvard (6-6 overall, 2-2 Ivy) on April 23 in a critical game that could make a big difference in clearing up the playoff picture. “We are just thrilled to go on to the next one,” said Madalon. “We are just excited to prepare and get back to work as a team. It is going to be a great game, we are excited for it. We couldn’t ask for anything more than Har vard and Cor nell in April.” McBride, for his part, is excited about the stretch drive. “It is playoff mode for us right now, every game is win or go home; that is the mentality we are going to take,” said McBride. “We are going to play every game like it is our last one. Harvard is the next game. They are a great team so it is going to be a big one.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Arendt Explodes for Big Weekend, Helping Tiger Baseball Go 3-1 Against Penn Entering the homestretch of his career with the Princeton University baseball team, Billy Arendt was looking to shine as the Tigers hosted Penn for a four-game set starting last Saturday. “It was a big weekend, we were one and they were two,” said Princeton senior third baseman Arendt, referring to the Ivy League Gehrig Division standings which saw the Tigers at 6-2 Ivy with the Quaker one game behind at 5-3 coming into the twinbills. Princeton got off to a big start on Saturday, winning 7-2 in the opener and 3-1 in the nightcap. “We were nervous before game one and it was really important to win that game,” said Arendt. “We really let loose.” Entering the weekend hitting .267, Arendt let loose, hitting 3-for-3 with a threerun homer, two runs and three RBIs in the opener and then going 1-for-1 with a homer and three walks in the second game. “It is a day I am always going to remember,” said the bearded Arendt, a 5’11, 180-pound native of Houston, Texas. “It was great to get those hits.” A day later, Arendt went 3-for-6 overall with a run and an RBI as the Tigers won 5-1 before losing the nightcap 5-2. The split left Princeton at 17-14 overall and 9-3 Ivy, leading Cornell (12-14 overall, 5-5 Ivy) and Penn (14-18 overall, 6-6 Ivy) in the Gehrig Division standings, a vast improvement over 2015 when the Tigers posted a 4-16 Ivy mark to end up in the cellar of the division. “It has been phenomenal, we talk to our parents ever y once in a while and they are just like it is great to win,” said Arendt, who is now hitting .281 and is tied with classmate Danny Hoy for the team lead in homers with four. “It just makes everything better, even losing the last game, we still had a 3-1 weekend.” Arendt, who was later named the Ivy Co-Player of

IS ON

the Week along with Cornell’s Cole Rutherford for his performance against Penn, is determined to make the most out of his remaining weekends in a Princeton uniform. “It is a sense of urgency; Dan Hoy and I have been playing every year since the beginning and a few other of the starters have been important throughout our careers,” said Arendt, an All-Ivy selection last spring. “We really want to send ourselves off well.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Scott Bradley liked the way his team came through in the clutch as it put itself in the driver’s seat in the Gehrig Division race. “It comes down to big hits; we had big hits in the first three games and they had one big swing today in the second game,” said Bradley. Bradley was happy to see the gritty Arendt rise to the occasion with a number of big hits against Penn. “Billy always has the toughest at bats so I am not surprised at what he did,” said Bradley. In order for Princeton to continue its turnaround

from last year, the players need to maintain their mental toughness. “C o m p a r e d t o w h e r e we were last year at the is time, I really like where we are right now,” said a grinning Bradley, noting that strong pitching has been a constant this spring for the Tigers with junior righthander Chad Powers getting named the Ivy Pitcher of the Week for his stellar 8-inning effort in Princeton’s 3-1 win over Penn in the nightcap on Saturday. “It is hard to sweep a weekend against teams this good. We have to keep having 3-1 weekends. If we do that, we will be in control of things here.” With Princeton playing at Rider on April 20 before heading up to New York City for doubleheaders at Columbia (10-21 overall, 4-8 Ivy) on April 23 and 24, Arendt and his teammates are primed to stay in control of their fate. “Columbia is always a big time foe,” said Arendt. “In past years, we have had trouble with them so we want to bring out our best mentality, no matter where we are in the standings. We have just got to play our baseball and the rest will come.” —Bill Alden

HIT PARADE: Princeton University baseball player Billy Arendt takes a swing in a game earlier this season. Last weekend, senior infielder Arendt starred as Princeton took three of four games from Penn in a critical Ivy League Gehrig Division series. Arendt went 4-for-4 with three runs, four RBIs and two homers on the day in a 7-2 and 3-1 sweep on Saturday. A day later, he went 3-for-6 overall with a run and an RBI as the Tigers won 5-1 before losing the nightcap 5-2. Arendt was later named the Ivy Co-Player of the Week along with Cornell’s Cole Rutherford for his performance against Penn. Princeton, now 17-14 overall and 9-3 Ivy, leads Cornell (12-14 overall, 5-5 Ivy) and Penn (14-18 overall, 6-6 Ivy) in the Gehrig Division standings. The Tigers play at Rider on April 20 before heading up to New York City for doubleheaders at Columbia (10-21 overall, 4-8 Ivy) on April 23 and 24. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Youth is being served at the top of the lineup this spring for the Princeton High boys’ tennis team. S ophomore star Noah Lilienthal is back at first s i n g l e s w i t h pr o m i s i n g freshman Jerry Gu at No. 2 and sophomore Kevin Yang moving into No. 3 after playing doubles last year. In reflecting on her 2016 squad, PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert is confident that it can come of age quickly. “We really have a fairly young team this year,” said Hibber t. “We def in itely have the potential to have a very strong team. We have a great one-two punch and we have strong singles all around.” The Little Tigers ran into a strong team when they fell 4-1 to WW/P-S in its season opener on April 5. “Obv iously it is tough to begin your season with some of your toughest competition before everyone is fully match ready and unfortunately we didn’t have two of the people in the doubles lineup that I would have liked to have had due to injuries and illness so that didn’t help,” said Hibbert, who got a win in the match f rom s ophomore Noah L ilient hal at f irst singles as he topped Kabir Sarita 6-4, 6-3. “It is early on in the season; it is difficult to know where you are and being tested like that in your first match is tricky. Obviously the highlight was Noah. He had a great showing, that was a good start for him.” Lilienthal, who won the first singles title at the Mercer County Tournament last spring, should produce a lot of highlights for PHS this season. “His shots looked crisp he kept his unforced errors really low and he was playing a really good all-around game,” s aid Hibber t in

assessing Lilienthal’s play against WW/P-S. “I think it definitely helps, having the season last year. The thing is with all of these top guys, they all train together and know each other pretty well. It is not a surprise or anything. He beat Kabir once and he lost to Kabir once last season.” At second singles, the Little Tigers boast another top player in freshman Gu. “He trains very hard as well,” said Hibbert, noting that a second freshman, Simon Hwang, will also see action at singles this spring. “He is a ver y talented player. He has good ground strokes and good all-around consistency. He has a nice serve, he is tall for a freshman as well so he has good power and pace on his shots. He has worked hard and he is a good tournament player.” Hibbert is expecting good things from Yang at third singles. “Kevin Yang will be our regular third singles,” said Hibbert, whose team topped Nottingham 5-0 last Monday to improve to 6-1. “He has good power on his shots and a good variety to his game as well. He is willing to mix up his style to challenge opponents.” At doubles, Hibber t is looking at a variety of options. “We have the potential to have good depth in our doubles as well if we can have everyone healthy and in the lineup,” said Hibbert, noting that Matt Danielson, Jon Itzler, Richard Yang, Ares Alivisatos, and the Lin brothers, Andrew and Eric, are in the mix for the four doubles spots. With the Mercer County Tour nament star ting on April 25 at Mercer County Park, Hibbert believes her squad has the potential to be a title contender. “I think we should definitely be able to compete

SINGULAR TALENT: Princeton High boys’ tennis player Noah Lilienthal hits a forehand on the way to winning the first singles title at the Mercer County Tournament.

well,” said Hibbert, whose team will tune up for the county competition by hosting Notre Dame on April 20 and playing at WW/P-N on April 22. “Obviously South (WW/ P-S) has proven early that

they are a tough team but we should have a good shot, especially if we have the chance to go a little bit more on our doubles before then and get some of the missing guys in the lineup a little more. You never know, it matters who turns up and plays the best tennis that day.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Mundenar’s Development as a Playmaker, PDS Girls’ Lacrosse Looking Explosive on Attack Madison Mundenar is looking to be a more versatile performer on attack this spring in her sophomore campaign for the Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse team. Last year, the speedy Mundenar proved she could race past opposing defenses and put the ball in the back of the net, scoring 40 goals as PDS won the state Prep B title. This season, Mundenar is determined to help spread the wealth on offense. “I have been working on my feeds a lot, not just oneon-one goals,” said Mundenar. “I have been moving from the circle to attack a little bit so I get to work on both par ts of my game. I am

definitely more of a playmaker, threading the needle on the feeds and working on my own shot.” Last Wednesday against visiting Hill School ( Pa.), Mundenar proved to be a key playmaker for the Panthers, scoring three goals and making three assists as PDS pulled away to a 13-9 win. “Our attack is very strong; I have confidence in anyone on the field to be able to go to goal,” said Mundenar. “That is unique to our team; it is really special.” It took a while for the PDS attack to get going against Hill as the game was knotted at 5-5 with 6:45 left in the first half. “We were a little slow getting out of the gate,” said Mundenar. “Our focus in the game was ground balls and to just be aggressive, beating them all over the field. Their goalie was really good; we really had to work on placing our shots.” The Panthers ended the half with two unanswered goals and never looked back from there. “I think if we finish strong that gives us confidence to do better in the next half so I think we really picked it up,” added Mundenar. “We felt confident and we just kept going to goal.” Mundenar has developed a strong connection on the field with classmate Kyra Hall and junior Morgan Mills.

“We have a good chemistry there, Kyra and I have been playing together for a while together,” said Mundenar, who had three goals and two assists to help PDS edge Pennington 18-15 last Monday in a rematch of last year’s Prep B title game. “Morgan and I usually find each other in transitions.” PDS head coach Jill Thomas likes the chemistry and skill she is seeing in her team’s attack unit. “It is great, it is fun to watch,” said Thomas. “They recognize each other out there. It is all pretty even in the scoring. They are really unselfish and we make that extra pass when we are supposed to make that extra pass. That is the way the game should be played.” While the Panthers have been piling up goals, Thomas is looking for her team to be even sharper. “One of our goals is to limit unforced turnovers and we started pretty high up; we were at 13 a game,” said Thomas. “Nobody forced them, we made the errors so the goal has been to get it down to five a half and then four and now we are at three a half. We have got to take care of the ball and we have to come to play and understand that it just takes a little jar to get that thing out.” With a defense spearheaded by senior captains Tess Gecha and Rowan Schomburg, the Panthers have been causing turnovers at

that end of the field. “They are talking, they have got ever ybody be lieving back there,” added Thomas. “They are great leaders. They are tough and they are fast. They are working with a freshman and another junior back there and two freshmen goalies.” Having started the season by losing two games to D.C.-area powers on its spring trip to Florida, PDS has found a groove upon its return to New Jersey. “I am happy that we went to Florida, we had a great week and we played really tough teams and we held our own,” said Thomas, whose team moved to 6-3 with the win over Pennington and plays at Blair Academy on April 20 and at Hopewell Valley on April 25. “We came back and we put what we worked on in Florida to test up here. It is one step at a time, that is the thing, don’t get ahead of ourselves. It is keep working, keep getting a little better every time we play.” Mundenar, for her part, believes the Panthers are ready for the tests ahead. “It has been a good season so far, I am really excited,” said Mundenar. “I think we are getting better every game. We started off with two losses in Florida, they were tougher games and tougher teams. I think we came back to New Jersey ready to go and ready to play. I think we have a good chance for the Prep B again and I think we can go pretty far in MCTs this year.” —Bill Alden

Russell Kirczow was looking to keep things simple as he took the mound for the Princeton Day School baseball team against visiting Willingboro High last Friday. “The coaches said to go out there throwing strikes and go right after them,” said Kirczow. Junior Kirczow followed instructions, striking out the side in the first inning to set the tone as PDS went on to a 13-0 win in five innings. “They were missing today,” said Kirczow, who gave up two third inning singles in earning the shutout. “The control and fastball were good, I was changing the eye level.” Having pitched well down the stretch in 2015, highlighted by some clutch work in the state Prep B tournament, Kirczow is looking to build on that progress. “I definitely throw a lot harder this year than I did last year,” said Kirczow. “It is not the same control, I am still trying to find it. I have just got to look at my mechanics and go over some things.” The Panthers appear to

have found a solid starting rotation with Kirczow and his classmates, Chase Fleming and Ryan Sparks. “We have three prett y good starters with Chase, Ryan, and including me,” said Kirczow. “We think we have a chance with anyone who starts.” In addition to his work on the mound, Kirczow has been having a good spring with the bat. “I worked with B.J. Dudeck (a former PDS star and member of the VMI baseball program who is serving as an assistant coach this spring as he recovers from shoulder surgery) all summer and the start of this year and he has really helped me out, I owe a lot to him,” said Kirczow, who plays in the outfield when he is not on the mound. “I am not dropping my back shoulder, I am keeping my eye level constant throughout the whole swing. I have a rather long intro to my swing and I am trying to make it more compact.” Longtime PDS assistant coach Brian Dudeck (B.J.’s f at h e r ) l i ke d K i r c z o w’s work on the mound against Willingboro.

“I think what he needed to do was to come in and go right at them and throw strikes today,” said Dudeck, who guided the team on Friday because head coach Ray O’Brien was away on business. “That is what he did so he got that done. I am proud of him for throwing strikes because the other day (a 5-1 loss to Hun on April 13), we got into trouble because we didn’t throw strikes.” Dudeck was proud of how the Panthers took care of business offensively, taking the extra base and coming up with some timely hits as they faced a Willingboro pitcher struggling with his control. “We didn’t hit well the other day against Hun so I was happy with the way we made a little bit of an adjustment and put the ball in play,” said Dudeck, as junior Paul Franzoni went 2-for-2 with two RBIs to lead the PDS offense with senior Dom Gasparro added a run scoring single. With the Panthers off to a 5-1 start after topping Hill School 9-1 last Monday, Dudeck is happy with the way the team has come together. “The thing that we have liked all along about this team is right now we have guys that play together, that like each other,” said Dudeck. “It is a very good team. We don’t have three kids that are going to play Division I baseball like last year but everybody is going to contribute and everybody will take turns. One day, it will be one guy and one day it will be another guy. I think in a lot of ways it is good.” In Kirczow’s v iew, the team’s balance is an asset going forward this spring. “We have got a long way to go but we are getting there,” said Kirczow. “There is no one leader, last year we had a few studs. This year, one through nine can contribute night in, night out.” —Bill Alden

Putting Emphasis on Daily Improvement, PDS Boys’ Tennis Gearing Up for MCT Ultimately, the Princeton Day School boys’ tennis team would like to culminate 2016 by making history as it is going for a fourth straight state Prep B championship. But PDS head coach Will Asch knows that his squad has a long way to go before it can think about titles. “We have got a lot of improving to do before we are ready to win a tournament like that, so do the other teams as well,” said Asch. “Everybody improves. If they are not improving over the course of the season, they are probably not going to be on top at the end of the year.” Senior Scott Altmeyer figures to make an impact at the top of the PDS lineup at first singles. “He is very good,” said A s ch of A lt m e ye r. “H e moves very well and he is an excellent competitor. He is very consistent.” At second singles, sophomore Lex Decker is growing into an excellent player. “Lex is a lot stronger; he serves better and he runs better,” added Asch. “Basically he has matured physically and it shows in his game.” Asch is looking for sophomore Riley Gudgel to mature quickly in the third single spot. “He is a good competitor, he sort of filled in for us at third singles last year,” said Asch. “He is a good player. He is adjusting the pressure of having that position and having to come up with the wins.” At first doubles, the pair of sophomore Vivek Sharma and junior Jacob Chang figures to come up with a lot of wins. “Vivek played first doubles for us last year and is our strongest doubles player,” said Asch. “Jacob prefers to play singles but he played second doubles for us last year and

he is a solid player. He is learning the doubles game, he is more of a singles player but he is working on it and he really enjoys the game.” Asch believes that juniors Leo Nye and Noah Liao can grow into a strong team at second doubles. “They were playing J V for a while and they played together last year and they started the year wanting to play together,” said Asch. “They have done a good job, they are very supportive of each other and they understand their strengths and weaknesses. I am hoping to help them develop into a very good team. They have a lot of strengths. I think it is good that they are a little more experienced as juniors, they have played more matches. They could be a lot better and they are going to be a lot better.” With PDS hosting Hill School ( Pa.) on April 20

before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament on April 25 at Mercer County Park, Asch is looking for his players to keep getting better collectively. “I think we are a good team,” said Asch, whose squad fell 5-0 to county favorite WW/P-S last week and is 3-2 in dual match play this spring. “I don’t think we are ready to win the county tournament.” Even if PDS doesn’t win any crowns in 2016, Asch believes his players will enjoy a memorable spring. “We have a ver y nice group of kids who work hard and they want to learn,” said Asch. “We have a good time and everybody learns a lot about how to play tennis so in that sense we have a lot of success whether or not we win the county or the Prep B. We have kids that enjoy playing tennis and go on to play in college, whether they are playing varsity tennis, JV, or club tennis.” —Bill Alden

Sophomore Revock Emerging as Pitching Ace, Helping Hun Softball to Promising 5-1 Start Having begun the season with four straight wins, Julia Revock and the Hun School softball team ran into some adversity when they hosted WW/P-N last Thursday. Sophomore pitcher Revock yielded two runs in the first three innings of the contest as the Raiders fell behind 2-0. “It started out a little rough,” said Revock. But in the bottom of the third, one swing changed the course of the game as Hun senior star Alexis Goeke lined a three run homer over the left field fence to put the Raiders up 3-2. “We really picked it up after Goeke’s home run, it

really boosted us up and I felt a lot more confident that we were up,” said Revock, who drew a walk and was on base when Goeke smacked the homer. Buoyed by the lead, Revock got stronger and stronger in the circle as the game went on, taking command to help Hun pull away to a 5-2 victory. “I was just trying to pitch strikes and then towards the end of the game my adrenaline started running and that is when my change up started to work,” said Revock, who pitched four strikeouts and scattered seven hits in the outing. “It feels good. I knew if we just held them,

we would get more runs.” Hitting second in the Hun batting order, Revock also contributed offensively, going 1-for-3 with a run. “I always try to make sure to help myself,” said Revock. “If I am not hitting my best, I know my team is going to back me up.” Having emerged as the pitching ace this spring for the Raiders, Revock is relishing that role. “I feel a lot more confident in myself; I really know that my team is behind me,” said Revock. “I know that it is a lot on me but I know that if I just do my job, we will do well.”

Edging perennial nemesis Peddie 11-10 in its season opener on April 5 showed Hun that it could do well this spring. “That game was a tough game but we pushed through,” said Revock. “That started our momentum and we just want to keep that going.” Averaging nine r uns a game in its first five contests has helped the Raiders build momentum. “The biggest positive is definitely our offense, it has been really good,” said Revock. “We have been hitting really well and when we are hitting well that helps me do my best.” Hun head coach Kathy Q u i r k s e e s R e v o c k ’s strong pitching as a major

positive for the Raiders. “Julia threw yesterday so I was nervous about whether she was going to be able to go two games in a row; we have this little thing, are you OK, how is your arm, and as long as she tells me she is fine, I keep her in there,” said Quirk. “Every game has been a good game and she has been doing her job so I am not going to pull her. She has given up playing travel ball and has taken the pressure off of herself. She is out there having fun and I think her teammates are so supportive of her.” It was fun for Quirk to see Goeke come through with the big homer against WW/P-N when the pressure was on. “It was beautiful, there is no other way to describe it,” asserted Quirk. “She has been a true leader, on and off the field. She has just done everything we have asked her and she just keeps working hard every day. I have been really pleased with her.” Quirk is also pleased with the production she has been getting from freshman first baseman Megan Donahue. “She can crush the ball,” said Quirk of Donahue. “She had a home run against Blair and it was the same as Goeke’s today. She fields well, she stretches, she knows her infielders and where she has to move.” Starting the season with the win over Peddie got Hun

moving in a positive direction. “We hadn’t beaten Peddie in six or seven years,” said Quirk. “It is always a game where we go up and then they come back and we go up and they come back and in the seventh inning we always end up losing. It was a big boost for all of us, especially the seniors who have been there for four years.” In Quirk’s view, her squad has the potential to produce a very good year. “They all just get along, it is a great bunch of kids,” said Quirk, whose team tasted defeat for the first time, falling 10-0 to Penn Charter (Pa.) last Saturday, and will look to get back on the winning track when it hosts Lawrenceville on April 21, Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on April 23 for a doubleheader, and Princeton Day School on April 26. “I am very happy with our offense. On defense, we have had a few glitches every now and then but we have been able to pick each other up. We need to stay focused. We can’t get cocky.” Revock, for her part, is confident that the Hun players will keep picking each other up. “We are a very well bonded team,” said Revock. “We all know that we have each other’s backs. In our team room we have ‘I have got your six’ (a military saying for I have got your back) on the wall. We all get along, we are like sisters.” —Bill Alden

Shirley Martin

Shirley Jean Carter Martin, a resident of Belle Mead, N.J. for 50 years, passed away at home on April 12, 2016, surrounded by her family. She was born on April 19, 1931 in Sayre, Pennsylvania to Carl A. and Marion S. Carter. Her sister, Helen Louise Carter Templer and both parents predeceased her. Shirley graduated from L ac e y v i l l e H ig h S ch o ol and Robert Packer School of Nursing in 1952. Upon graduation she worked at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Morristown Memorial, BrainBio Center in Skillman, and IngersollRand in Painted Post, N.Y. where she met and married Arthur I. Martin. She enjoyed her nursing career so much and always said it enabled her to have many wonderful experiences throughout her life. Shirley is survived by her

husband, Art, of 58 years; her daughter Debbie and husband Bob Joslin; and her son Wade and wife, Lee Ann. Her grandchildren Matthew, Rachel, Emma, Kelly, Zach, and grand-dog Maggie will always be surrounded by her love and were her greatest joy. Shirley was active in many organizations throughout her life and was supportive of public education through her involvement with the Montgomery P.T.A., Montgomery Athletic Boosters, and Montgomery Township Education Foundation. She was a co-founder of the Girl Scouts program in Montgomery Township. In later years, Shirley enjoyed her activities with the Present Day Club, DAR, and HomeFront. A passion for travel took her to all corners of the globe but her favorite place was Grand Cayman. Long Beach Island was her domestic destination for summers with her children and grandchildren. Quality time with her family made each gathering special for each of us. Shirley’s family visited with friends at Cherry Valley Country Club, Hobler House on Saturday, April 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. and a Celebration of Life was held at the Harlingen Reformed Church on Sunday, April 17 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in Shirley’s memory to the HomeFront Playground, which is being constructed at their new facility in Ewing. Donations can be sent to HomeFront, 1880 Princeton Ave, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648 to the attention of Connie Mercer (playground act). ———
