Preservationists Concerned As Battlefield Position Remains Vacant

The Princeton Battlefield State Park (PBSP) has been without a full-time caretaker historian, known as a resource interpretive specialist (RIS), since the retirement of the Park’s RIS in April 2018.

In an April 8 letter to the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), American Battlefield Trust (ABT) President O. James Lighthizer expressed the concern of the Trust and others over the decline of the 1772 Thomas Clarke House and surrounding landscape.

“We respectfully urge the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to fill this position as soon as possible, particularly to prevent any avoidable deterioration of Princeton’s treasured landscape and related resources — like the 1772 Thomas Clarke House, the only remaining structure associated with the 1777 battle,” Lighthizer wrote.

Roger Williams, president of the Princeton Cranbury Chapter of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, noted, “The Clarke House is in serious trouble. It’s at a crisis point where some money needs to be put into the house or it will start falling apart.”

The DEP, Williams said, needs to get budget approval to hire a full-time resource interpretive specialist. In the meantime Williams has been talking to New Jersey legislators to urge immediate emergency funding to restore the Clarke House.

On Saturday, May 4, at 3 p.m., Williams added, local legislators and others will be speaking to this point at a ceremonial flag raising at the Battlefield.

Responding to inquiries about the RIS post last week, NJDEP Public Information Officer Caryn Shinske stated, “Backfilling this position is a priority for the State Park Service,” but noted competing priorities in staffing and capital improvements at other state parks.

“In the meantime, stewardship and public programming for Princeton Battlefield State Park is continuing with support from the maintenance staff, resource interpretive specialists, and the park superintendent from nearby Washington Crossing State Park,” Shinske wrote in an email.

“Likewise, The Princeton Battlefield Society is an invaluable Friends

Community ArtsFest Returns for 49th Year The Arts Council of Princeton’s (ACP) Communiversity ArtsFest will return for its 49th year on Sunday,April 28 from 1-6 p.m., featuring more than 225 booths, original art and contemporary crafts, a wide array of culinary delights, and live entertainment.

Communiversity is presented in collaboration with the students of Princeton University and the town of Princeton and will feature artists, art activities, and continuous live performances on seven stages throughout the downtown area and on the University campus.

Returning favorite performers include The Blue Meanies, Essie, Lisa Botalico Fiesta Flamenco, Princeton School of Rock, and The Shaxe.

The ACP will offer many opportunities for the creation and appreciation of art, with the chance to construct recycled material “trash hats” at Nana’s Make a Mess tent on Palmer Square Green in addition to watercolor, drawing, and clay projects.

Live Art demonstrations on Palmer Square Green will feature wood stain painting with Sean Carney, acrylic paint pouring with Fran Eber, and plein air oil

painting with Barbara DiLorenzo. The tradition of chalk murals will continue, featuring local student-artists along the sidewalks of Palmer Square.

At the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, artists from the ACP ceramic studio will be spinning the pottery wheel, transforming clay into ceramics.

Paint Out Princeton, professional artists and other talented painters dispersed around town with their easels, will engage

in plein air painting, capturing the magic of communiversity on their canvases.

For many of the estimated 40,000 visitors each year, the greatest attraction to this largest and longest running cultural event in Central New Jersey may be the extraordinary array of food options offered in booths sponsored by local eateries.

Serving thousands of hungry diners is not easy, but Heather Embers, Mediterra Restaurant and Taverna events Continued on Page 8

Contract Negotiations at an Impasse Between Town and Local TV Station

If you are looking for a video of the most recent meetings of Princeton Council on the website of Princeton Community Television (PCTV), you will be looking in vain.

The station is no longer taping and airing municipal meetings due to an impasse over how much funding it should receive from the town (the meetings are currently being taped in-house and are available on the town’s website).

“Right now, our contract has not been

renewed,” said George McCullough, executive director of PCTV since 2006. “We can’t come to any resolution. It’s about money. It certainly will affect how we operate in the future and whether we exist at all.”

patterns for her decision.

“It is not a decision I’ve come to lightly — I’ve wrestled with it for months,” the email reads. “The reasons are simple and yet complicated. Traffic, and business has been down dramatically and suddenly since the beginning of December. The specific reasons for that are many, too. Parking, for sure, and changing retail shopping patterns…a perfect storm, if you will.”

TOPICS Of the Town Gittleman said Tuesday mor ning t hat customers were already frustrated by parking problems before the town put in new meters and raised prices last November.

“No one comes here who hasn’t had a parking ticket — a $42 ticket,” she said.

“So now, with these new changes, people are angry — really angry. And our foot traffic has dropped, too.”

The town’s parking changes have been particularly devastating for the knitting and needlepoint store because they were put into action in November, the beginning of Gittleman’s most important season. “We are a winter sport,” she said. “The really horrible part of this is that at some point, someone should have said that November was not the time to start this. For most stores in town, business dies dramatically after Christmas. That’s our season.”

The changing retail lands cape has been equally damaging. “So much has changed. Maybe five percent of the global population knits or needlepoints,” Gittleman said. “People still knit and they still love it.

But a huge portion of the business has gone online.

Yarn stores are closing all over the place.”

T he s tore’s fou r- week closing plan began Tuesday.

Through April 29, everything is 20 percent off. From April 30 to May 6, the discount is 30 percent. From May 7 to 14, the discount rises to 40 percent. The final week, May 14 to 21, whatever is left is reduced 50 percent. Everything is final sale, with no returns, refunds, or holds. The shop will be open till 6 p.m. each day during the sale.

Classes and assistance with projects have always been available at Pins and Needles. “A huge portion of what we’ve done here is teaching and support,” Gittleman said. In the letter to customers, she wrote that assistance will be limited during the sale. But after the store closes, some public and private lessons will be offered for anyone mid-project who needs help.

Gittleman, who opened Pins and Needles t hree days after 9-11, said she wrestled for months with the question of whether the store could survive. Online shopping has made retail “a really difficult place to be,” Continued on Next Page

she said. “I’m working twice as hard as I was two years ago.”

But ultimately, she had to face reality. “Pushing that send button on that email [to customers] was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “And almost immediately, I began getting emails back from people who are saying such nice things and are so sorry to get the news.

It’s been a long time, and it’s tough.”

Gittleman said she will miss the camaraderie among loyal customers and members of her staff. “For all of us the best part of this place was always each of you, and the joy we shared in helping you nurture a creative outlet in your life, develop lifelong skills, and sometimes find shelter from the storms of life in the simple act of manipulating t wo sticks and string or pulling a needle through a canvas,” she wrote to patrons. “You will all be missed.”

coordinator reported on Mediterra’s plans for serving paella and sangria. “Each paella pan is 36 inches in circumference and serves, on average, 50 guests,” she said. “For Communiversity, we will be making 36 pans, enough for 1800 people! Our chef will prep 180 pounds of shrimp and 99 pounds of calaspara rice.

Also included in our classic paella is calamari, scallops, chorizo, chicken, bell peppers, and corn. We also serve delicious red sangria — 72 gallons!”

“Communiversity ArtsFest celebrates and showcases the talents of many local artists as it inspires and connects our community and visitors through art,” said Interim ACP Executive director Jim Levine. “Proceeds from Communiversity allow us to offer an array of engaging and accessible art programs for the diverse population of the greater Princeton region.”

Sponsors of Communiversity include AT&T, Baker Auto, Palmer Square Princeton, Princeton Garden Theatre, and many others listed at artscouncilofprinceton. org.

Parking options include the Chambers, Hulfish, and Spring Street garages, and Princeton University parking lots. The streets are scheduled to close at 11 a.m. A free shuttle bus sponsored

“It was really important for us to maintain continuity for our patrons,” Campbell said.

“Our folks depend on us to be there; we are the only soup kitchen in town where they can get a hot meal every weekday.”

TASK is a 501 (c) (3) private, nonprofit, non-sectarian organization that has served over four million meals in its 37-year-old history. The organization is committed to providing meals and the tools to help move our patrons toward self-sufficiency.

TRENTON, NJ – The Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) will host the grand opening of its newly renovated headquarters at 72 ½ Escher Street on Friday, May 3 at 10:15 a.m. A ribbon cutting will be followed by tours, coffee and cake at this celebration of the $2 million Building Into The Future capital project campaign.

“This is a great opportunity for the public to come, visit us and see what we’re all about,” said TASK Executive Director Joyce E. Campbell. “Thanks to these improvements we are able to continue our mission in a beautiful environment that furthers cultivates a community of dignity and respect among our patrons, volunteers and staff.”

Launched in 2017, the capital project includes a 3,300 square-foot addition, a refurbished dining room and expanded areas for programs.

TASK never closed its doors due to construction during the two-year endeavor and contin-

This funding will further HIP’s mission to help lowincome working families and individuals in and around Princeton avoid homelessness. While providing transitional housing for 12 to 24 months, HIP equips families with the tools for selfsufficiency, bridging the gap between homelessness and hope.

In 2017, HIP added professional career counseling to the suite of individualized wraparound services it offers clients. Since then, clients have moved from contract/ low-wage jobs to full-time salaried positions with benefits, with some increasing their annual earnings by $6,0009,000 — a 20-35 percent increase in earnings for clients.

“This grant from Investors will allow HIP to help Princeton area families advance in their careers, earning better wages and securing employer-provided benefits, so they can provide a stable home to their children and break the

Sustainable Princeton Promotes Plans For a Climate Resilient Community

Leading the effort to mitigate the worst effects of climate change and build a climate-resilient community through careful, thorough planning and preparation, Sustainable Princeton (SP) has released a 62-page draft of Princeton’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), which proposes a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent from 2010 levels by 2050.

The coordinated effort of 53 Princeton community members working over the past 18 months and funded by a $100,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the CAP draft is available online, with Princeton residents encouraged to review and comment via direct link: https://www. sustainableprinceton.org/ climate-action-plan by May 31.

SP has been engaging the community in several outreach events to introduce the CAP draft and to encourage responses by the May 31 deadline. The final plan is expected to be completed by mid-June 2019, and numerous stakeholder groups will be responsible for implementation.

Scheduled outreach events include GreenFest in the Princeton Shopping Center Courtyard on Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a CAP Feedback work-

shop on Tuesday, May 14 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Municipal Building.

“We’ve worked hard to make this Climate Action Plan a product of the community,” said SP Executive Director Molly Jones. “We could have pulled together a small group of qualified people to efficiently create a plan, but we didn’t do that because we wanted community stakeholders with varying perspectives to create a Climate Action Plan for Princeton that is viable and that we all have ownership in fulfilling.”

Each committee member participated in one of five working groups focused on the five sectors of the CAP: Energy, Resiliency, Land Use & Transportation, Natural Resources, and Materials Management. After a year and a half of deliberation, stakeholder input, community consideration, forecasting and data analysis, the groups identified 13 objectives and 83 action items to be included in the draft.

“Addressing climate change requires action on all fronts, including significant change at the local level,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “I am encouraged that Princeton’s Climate Action Plan has been thoughtfully developed by topic experts and community leaders and lays out

a robust and strategic callto-action. This document will ultimately be our roadmap to tackle the changes required to reduce our impact on the planet and to prepare ourselves for the ‘new normal’ of severe weather.”

Princeton Housing Authority Chairman Leighton Newlin noted, “Many members of our community are already being affected by the increasing impacts of climate change.

Preparedness and resilience is critical for all Princeton residents and particularly for those living on more limited means. I really appreciate that the collaborative process forcreating the Climate Action Plan has worked to consider our most vulnerable community members.”

The 13 objectives proposed in the plan draft include reduction of emissions in the built environment and increase in the supply of low-carbon, affordable, reliable energy in the energy sector; promotion of mixed-use development and pedestrian-transitoriented, location-efficient neighborhoods; reduction of community-wide vehicle miles traveled by switching to public transit, bicycling and walking; and expanding access to zero-emissiion in the land use & transportation sector; protecting and enhancing natural resources that provide carbon capture and

reduce flooding and heat island impacts; and protecting the tree canopy in the natural resources sector; reducing life-cycle emissions occurring outside the community from products and services used by the Princeton community; reducing the life-cycle emissions from the use of products and services within the community; and reducing the life-cycle emissions from the disposal of waste generated by the Princeton community; in the materials management sector; and protecting lives, property, and critical facilities from the impacts of storm water flooding, building municipal and community capacity to prepare for and respond to climate change, and preparing for the impact of climate change on human health; in the resiliency sector.

“Climate change is upon us and the urgent need to act has become apparent in recent years,” said David Cohen, Princeton Council liaison to the steering committee. “I have been thrilled to see the committee ground its recommendations in quantifiable reductions in emissions to be realized by various policy and behavior changes, and target measurable performance indicators which will let us know that we are on track to succeed. Please go online and help us make the plan even better by offering suggestions — not just for what we can do, but also for how we can hold ourselves accountable.”

—Donald Gilpin

KEEPING IT GREEN: Sustainable Princeton is stepping up sustainable efforts for this year’s Communiversity. Representatives from Sustainable Princeton will be present at five ‘Waste Center’ tents strategically placed throughout the event to ensure attendee waste is properly disposed. Refillable water stations will be placed at five of the downtown stages for visitors to refill their reusable water bottles. Residents are encouraged to arrive in a sustainable way — there will be two bike valets sponsored by Princeton Bike Advisory Committee. As part of the effort to make Communiversity greener, participating merchants were asked not to use Styrofoam, plastic straws, balloons and limit the use of plastic bags for purchases.

Emphasizing the import a n c e of t h e P r i n c e to n Battlefield to the American Revolution and George Wasington’s” Ten Crucial Days’ campaign, Lighthizer’s letter pointed out that the A BT, along w ith the NJDEP, the Princeton Battlefield Society, the Princeton Cranbury Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, and others has been working on a comprehens ive pre s er vat ion and interpretation plan to enhance the visitor experience at the Battlefield.

The success of this project, funded by the National Park Ser v ice’s A merican Battlefield Protection Program, and the abilit y to execute it effectively, Lighthizer argued, is dependent on the presence of a fulltime site administrator as-

signed to the PBSP. “It is vital that NJDEP move qu ick ly to f ill t he vacancy at the state park which otherwise threatens to thwart our joint progress on the ground and let vulnerable park lands and resources languish beyond repair,” he added.

The ABT last year helped to resolve a longstanding dispute between the PBS and the neighboring Institute for Advanced Study ( I AS ) by purchasing t he 14.85 -acre site of Washington’s charge, which will eventually become part of the state park, from IAS for $4 million.

“Stigma Free Mercer” Is NAMIWalks Theme

“STIGMA FREE MERCER” will be the rallying call of 1,000 or more supporters who will participate in the 12th Annual NAMIWalks Mercer County on Sunday, May 5, at 12 p.m. on t h e c a mpu s of E d u cational Testing S er v ice ( ETS ) in Princeton. NAMI

Together, they are committed to eliminating the shame and blame associated with mental illness so that those in need will seek treatment and be able to live healthy and productive lives. Representatives from the Mercer County Division of Mental Health will be available at the Walk to encourage participants to sign its Stigma Free Pledge.

The town councils of all Mercer County municipalities already have passed Stigma Free resolutions.

and the mayors will lead t h e w a l ke r s a c r o s s t h e starting line on May 5.

The spring walk-a-thon is Mercer C ou nt y’s big gest anti-stigma event and NA M I Mercer’s g re ate s t fundraiser. Over the past eleven years, the event has brought in more than $1 million in individual and corporate donations. Top sponsors this year include NAMIWalks National Elite Sponsor Alkermes, NAMI Mercer Gold Sponsor UBS, S i lver S p on s or s O t s u k a and Janssen, and Wellness Fair Sponsor Summit Oaks Hospital. The fundraising goal for 2019 is $150,000 and more than half of this amount already has been donated.

The NAMI Mercer Walk on May 5 w ill feat ure a wellness fair, where local vendors and organizations will provide on-site health and wellness information and services to Walk participants. Additionally, there will be activities for kids, i n clu d i n g ga m e s, c r af t s projects, a robotics dem-

company as compensation for using public property it owns as right-of-way for its cable.

Municipal officials say they have been trying to get PCTV to raise money privately, as other non profits do, and rely less on the town for funding. PCTV currently receives $232,000 of the cable franchise fees that the town receives from Comcast and Verizon. PCTV’s contract that started in 2015 paid $259,999 and has been gradually decreased since then.

Council president Jenny Crumiller said Monday that the town has been “nudging them along” for the past six years.

“We offered them a generous contract, but they say no,” she said. “But we haven’t had a final meeting, so we’re hopeful.”

PCTV was created by the former borough and township in 1997. McCullough was originally a contracted employee of the borough, until the non profit was formed by the town and he was made executive director.

PCTV “is intended to provide an outlet for members of the Princeton and neighboring communities to broadcast locally produced programs as well as other quality programming,” reads the organization’s website. The channel produced more than 600

original shows last year.

“It’s a staggering figure when you think about it, and it probably makes us the largest producer of local programs in New Jersey,” McCullough said. “The town should realize that we’re not just a television station. We’re a community center. People from all walks of life come in here and interact with each other. It’s a tremendous resource. And there needs to be some kind of local programming.”

“Most towns use cable franchise fees to help provide taxpayer relief. It’s great that PCTV is providing this regional service, but funding shouldn’t be coming to them only from the town,” said Mayor Liz Lempert. “They need to do what other non profits do and also rely on private fundraising.”

Crumiller added that some of the people who create programming at PCTV come from outside of Princeton. “So I see this as being responsible to our own taxpayers.”

Lempert said, “It’s a wonderful thing to have a cable access channel in town, and we want to see them be successful. But it can’t be something that’s borne by our residents who are already squeezed with taxes, because it’s not fair. It should be structured like a non profit with some municipal support.”

Donating a Fire Truck To Help Puerto Rico

On Friday, April 19, Kingston Volunteer Fire Company (KVFC) and South Brunswick Fire District #3 held a ceremony at their firehouse to hand over the title for their 1988 Spartan 3D Engine to Chief Eulando Piñero of the Metro Emergency Response Team (MERT) of Bayamon City, Puerto Rico.

Sharyl Dixon of the Kingston Presbyterian Church, KVFC Chief George Luck, Jr. gave a brief history of the events that led to this moment, and Agostino Racanati presented to Chief Piñero the title to the well maintained truck, fully stocked with supplies and equipment donated by other local fire departments, and bearing its new identity, MERT, in gold lettering.

It all began last year, when Eulando Piñero, fire chief of the Metro Emergency Response Team of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, reached out for help in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Bayamon is Puerto Rico’s second-largest municipality and is part of the metropolitan area centered on San Juan. In a letter to the Bridgewater Board of Fire Commissioners District #4, he explained the plight of his volunteer fire depart-

ment, which is the only volunteer fire department in Puerto Rico, and a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

The district that is their immediate response area of six towns is staffed by just one firefighter per shift, with one outdated fire truck in service.

When New York City Fire Department’s Incident Management Teams were on the island to assist after Maria hit, they were shocked by the inadequacy of staffing and the condition of the equipment.

The plea for equipment and supplies quickly circulated among central New Jersey’s local fire departments, and the timing was right. KVFC had a new truck, and was about to retire the 1988 Spartan.

The donated engine had been bought in July 2017 by South Brunswick Fire District #3 from South Brunswick Township Fire District #2 (where it had served the Monmouth Junction Fire Department for 28 years), because a Kingston engine had motor problems, and was determined not cost effective to repair. The Spartan was placed in service to the community on August 5, 2017 as Engine #3 (243). It served until a new engine could be ordered and built.

When the new 2019 K.M.E. engine was placed in active

PROVIDING RELIEF: The 1988 Spartan 3D fire truck, already lettered for Metro Emergency Response Team (MERT) and ready to provide emergency services by fellow firefighters in Bayamon City, Puerto Rico. service at noon on March 30, 2019, the 1988 engine was retired from service — and needed a new home.

One of the MERT team will be flying up to New Jersey to drive the Spartan to Florida, where it will be shipped to Puerto Rico. In taking title, Chief Piñero expressed gratitude for the many firefighters who participated in this project, and for how much more his company will be able to do to help and protect the citizens of Bayamon.

In a tribute to all who made this donation possible, one of the key partners, Captain Borke of the New Brunswick Fire Department, said of the brotherhood/sisterhood of firefighters, “It is so strong that it almost brings tears to my eyes.” Police officer Fedor Salvador of the North Brunswick Police Department also spoke of the network that came together to provide equipment, supplies and support for their brothers in Puerto Rico.

Just days after the town of Princeton released a draft of its Climate Action Plan, Princeton University has announced its own Sustainability Action Plan. Among the goals of the initiative, which was released Monday, April 22, is zero emissions by 2046. That year is the University’s 300th anniversary.

The plan builds on efforts in the past decade to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, d e s i g n e n e r g y e f f i c i e nt buildings, encourage alternatives to single occupancy vehicles, and practice sustainable dining, construction, and other operations.

“Our global env ironment faces challenges of unprecedented scope and c o m p l e x i t y,” U n i v e r s i t y President Christopher L. Eisgruber said in a press release. “Princeton can play a leadership role not only by developing innovative solutions through teaching and research, but also by establishing best practices in our campus operations and community behaviors that serve as models for the world. This plan sets out ambitious but attainable goals that will guide us toward a more sustainable future.”

Among the aims outlined in the plan is reducing water usage. The 2046 goal is a 26 percent reduction in annual campus water usage from 2008. The management of storm water will be expanded. Waste will be reduced through reuse and recycling. While the University has modestly decreased its overall campus landfill waste, its recycling rates have declined “due to behavioral, market, and programmatic challenges,” the release reads. “Princeton will redouble its efforts to study successful strategies on campus and develop ambitious targets.”

The University’s first formal commitment to these issues was its 2008 Sustainability Plan, which introduced the “Campus-as-Lab” initiative that encourages faculty, staff, and students to test sustainable strategies. Efforts have resulted in energy cost savings, a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels, fewer single occupancy cars driving to campus, declines in waste volume, and an emphasis on sustainable and local purchasing and products.

Shana Weber, the University’s Director of Sustainability, said the new plan will continue those goals and push them for ward.

“This plan is ambitious,

with an intent to inform three decades of institutional decision-making and individual-scale action,” she said. “At the same time, the plan strives to be honest about clear progress as well as intractable challenges as we grapple and tinker with solutions.”

The 38-page plan highlights initiatives already in place, including the University’s 27-acre solar field, which produces nearly six percent of its total annual electricity needs ; its geo exchange wells, currently installed at Lakeside Apartments, L aw rence Apar tments, and the Lewis Arts complex; the retrofitting of LED lighting in buildings throughout the campus; a vertical farming project that resulted from a student’s senior thesis; and a rain garden at Frick Chemistry Lab, among others.

The goal of reducing campus greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2046 has interim reduction targets along the way. The emphasis is on eliminating fossil fuel combustion. The University will pursue this goal through such methods as expanding solar power on campus; converting from a natural gas-fueled campus steam system to a heating hot water system; renewing energy efficiency improvements in existing buildings; and investigating long-term fuel alternatives.

The plan has been a collaborative effort involving faculty, students, University trustees, and alumni, among others. Sophomore Christpher Gliwa, a civil and environmental engineering major, is quoted in the release as saying the University’s plan could serve as a model for other organizations.

“Irrefutable evidence has shown that the longer humanity delays its adoption of sustainable practices, the closer we creep towards Earth’s ‘tipping point,’ ” he said. “That is why the Princeton Sustainability Action Plan is so consequential, on and off campus. By embracing sustainability at the campus level, we not only fulfill our moral obligation to act on the issue of unsustainable practices, but we also add to the momentum of the growing movement to promote sustainable practices globally.”

FAR Ordinance Tabled For the Second Time Princeton Council voted unanimously Monday evening to delay deciding on an ordinance that would eliminate Floor Area Ratio ( FA R ) bonuses allowing for larger buildings on undersized lots. This is the second time the governing body has opted to put the ordinance aside in favor of obtaining more data and focusing on matters considered more important.

Or iginally proposed in 2015, t h e m e as u re w as m e a nt to help ma i nt a i n n e ig hb orho o d char ac ter by discouraging teardowns.

But it became controversial when it was pointed out by numerous members of the public that the ordinance cou ld prohibit addit ions and require a zoning variance for any exterior modifications. FAR is the total area of a building divided by the area of the lot it occupies, expressed as a percentage.

The possibility of “unintended consequences” in

the ordinance led the governing body to put it aside in order to focus on more pressing matters such as harmonizing the land use code of t he for mer borough and township, which were consolidated six years ago. “When this was originally brought forward, we thought it was going to be an easy lift,” said Mayor Liz Lempert. “But it has gotten more complicated. We want more data before moving forward.”

Architect Joseph Weiss, who l ive s on L e ig h Av enue in the WitherspoonJackson district, praised Council for delaying a final decision. “It would have a lot of unintended consequences for my neighborhood. Eliminating the FAR would place a great burden on people who live there,” he said. “I encourage you to look at this more holistically and make it a priority to combine the zoning.”

Weiss added t hat it is w rong to v iew a l l te ar downs as negative. “I don’t

think it’s fair to make ‘teardowns’ a dirty word,” he said. “Some homes need to be torn down and replaced.

It’s not a good idea to universally condemn that kind of change.”

Marina Rubina, another architect who has spoken against the proposed ordinance, thanked Council for stepping back and taking more time with the issue.

“Don’t feel it was a wasted effort,” she said. “We have all learned so much from this.”

Municipal Administrator

Marc Dashield said he expects the zoning ordinances of the former borough and township to be harmonized by the first quarter of 2020, after which Council could retur n to the FA R question.

“Sometimes we get criticized for paralysis by analysis,” said Lempert. “But that is not happening here.

We are learning from this experience.”

Bike Lanes Make a World Of Difference to One’s Ride.

To the Editor: I have a good deal of sympathy for our merchants’ concerns re: parking and agree with much of what they propose. However, to suggest that giving over some sections of our roads to bike lanes, “would not change the nature of the bike ride into town” has no merit at all and could only be asserted by those with very little experience on a bicycle. As an avid bicyclist, I talk biking a lot and have found that people who once happily biked around town no longer do so. The reason? “It’s not safe on our streets.”

I can surely assert that in the brief period last year when bike lanes were temporarily opened on Hamilton, it made the world of difference to one’s ride. One felt, and indeed was, safe. Indeed, in the past year, I have experienced many close shaves with drivers barging their way into my tiny space on the road. And it is getting worse. Bicyclists seem to be regarded as a nuisance rather than fellow drivers.

For everybody’s sake, bike riding and walking should be encouraged. It is cheap and healthy, has no carbon footprint and can be counted as one less 3000lb vehicle on our already busy streets. If you live within a ten minute drive of town, as I do, you can be at your mid-town destination in less time on a bike. And you can arrive right at your destination without wasting fuel driving about looking for parking We need bike lanes and we need a commitment to opening more. We need more people feeling confident that they can ride their bikes safely into town.

Some Suggestions About Making Princeton Wildlife-Friendly

To the Editor: We are in the midst of an environmental and wildlife crisis.

Earth’s conditions are rapidly changing and extinctions are occurring at expedited rates, with many animals being overtaken by human activity. Since we have caused much of this decimation, it is our responsibility to fix it. Although it seems overwhelming, there are steps we as a community can take to help ensure a future for our local wildlife. So what can you do?

On an individual scale, you can help through responsible pet ownership. Domestic cats kill billions of wild birds, mammals, and reptiles every year, driving many to extinction. If you have pet cats, please keep them inside. Watch your dogs when they’re outside to prevent them from catching wildlife.

When getting a new pet, consider if you will be able to care for them at their adult size and for their entire life. If not, choose a different pet. If you can no longer care for your pet, don’t release it. Releasing pets can cause environmental catastrophe, as they can establish invasive wild populations that take over and harm local ecosystems. An example of this destruction is in Florida, where Burmese pythons are taking over the Everglades. Instead, find a place that will take your pet, such as a shelter.

You can also ensure that your property is both wildlife and environmentally friendly. If you own land, leave some of it forested! Having strips of habitat connecting bigger habitat patches benefits wild animal populations in important ways.

Animals use these pathways, known as corridors, to travel between fragments of habitat. Corridors create more genetic diversity, which creates populations better able to survive tough conditions. If you cut down trees or bushes, do it in fall or winter, when babies have grown up and won’t get trapped.

If you live somewhere without much land, keep local plants on your patio or any outdoor space for animals such as butterflies, birds, and bees.

On a larger scale, Princeton should design wildlife-friendly infrastructure. Corridors can be city-wide projects to connect large patches of forest in order to allow animals to safely move between them. This design would let members of different populations that would otherwise be isolated exchange genes. The corridor concept applies to Princeton because we have many isolated patches of forest. Fencing often prevents animals from traveling between these habitat patches, as well.

Wildlife bridges and tunnels are methods that have been successful in many countries. These structures allow for wildlife to safely cross highways without having to dodge speeding cars.

This concept benefits humans, too, as it reduces car accidents involving animals. Considering the immense deer population

in Princeton and the large number of accidents in which they are involved, wildlife bridges would be a great addition for us and our wild neighbors. If we can all work together to help keep Princeton wildlife-friendly, we can make a difference in the lives of animals both present and future.

Noting That SPRAB Recommended Placing Refueling Station Elsewhere

To the Editor: The Princeton Council and Engineering Department, while they are concerned about safety on Nassau Street, seem totally oblivious to safety, traffic congestion, and pure ugliness for the Mt. Lucas Road, Terhune, Laurel and Valley Roads neighborhood, in their poorly chosen site for the town refueling station — in a residential, already traffic-challenged, safety-concerned area. They ignored the town’s own Site Plan Review Advisory Board’s (SPRAB) recommendation to place it elsewhere.

The town’s objections to other sites were lame. I went with a neighbor to look at both the Witherspoon Fire Station and Valley Road School site and the John Street Public Works parking lot. Both have the space to install the re-fueling facility, allowing trucks and buses to drive in and exit head-first.

SPRAB saw the potential for those sites, and possibly one at the Harrison Street Fire Station.

So we have the members of SPRAB — experienced planners — recommending other sites. We have the former mayor at the April 11 meeting saying that this decision was the worst governing the town has experienced! We have numerous neighbors objecting to the site and canopy and traffic problems, which will tie up the area and need uncertain State approval.

Many kids walk and bike to Community Park School, and to the pool, tennis courts, and playing fields. Do we need to subject them to these safety concerns? And the neighborhood to all the rest?

Please admit, as the mayor did, that this was a poorly executed idea and the fueling station needs to be relocated.

To the Editor: It is clear: Princeton is at a crossroad. Together we either succeed or fail in preserving what makes Princeton one of the most desirable municipalities in the United States.

I have known Mia Sacks since she was a young girl growing up in Princeton. I have watched her mature into an amazing woman — intelligent, committed to making life better for others, collaborative — always working hard behind the scene helping others achieve great things. She understands the importance of the Master Plan and its long-reaching effects on the future of Princeton. Her hands-on approach in working toward consensus building using her incredible skills to organize and synthesize a complexity of issues proves she is more than competent to take a place at the dais.

I enthusiastically support her candidacy and strongly believe it is time for Mia to come to the forefront and be recognized as the leader she is, working for the betterment of Princeton as a member of council at this critical time in our history.

Her actions speak far better than any words in proving her integrity, commitment, and sense of community. Please join me in voting for Mia Sacks on June 4th.

Longtime Resident Wants Town To Take Out New Parking System

To the Editor: Today’s Town Topics headline is “Council Considers Some Parking Revisions” (pg. one, April 17).

Great.

Here’s one for consideration — Take out the whole new system and go back to what we had.

We moved back to Princeton 30 or so years ago. We love it. We love all the stores and all the merchants in them.

I personally have been one of the biggest advocates of shopping locally and helping out our hard working friends here.

But now I can’t go into town because the parking system is just dysfunctional. Thank God for the Spring Street and Hulfish garages.

Ok, now we don’t start paying for parking until 9 a.m. instead of 8. Thanks, but if you are meeting someone at Chez Alice on Palmer Square at 9, you can’t put in a quarter at 8:45.

Won’t take it. So at 9:01 with an eye out the window in case

I have five different credit cards. The only one the meters will take is my American Express card. I am retired. I don’t want my American Express card anymore, but I have to keep it because it is the only one your meters accept. Not sure it helps though because in the rain or snow or simple darkness you can’t read the screen to see what’s happening. And of course you have to overestimate the time you’ll be away so you don’t slide into a violation. Very stressful. Oh, how I miss the good old Smart Card.

Reducing the charge from $2 to $1:85 an hour at some meters doesn’t do much.

What we put in is a mess. Let’s admit our mistake and fix it. Please take it down.

Former Board of Ed Members Endorse Tim Quinn for Council

To the Editor: As former Board of Education members, we can attest that experience matters when it comes to serving this community as an elected official and making hard decisions. Of the Democratic candidates running for Council, only incumbent Councilman Tim Quinn has a track record of successful, responsive leadership in a publicly accountable fiduciary role.

Having served with Tim, we know him as a principled, diligent, consensus-driven leader. Given the competing priorities and collective aspirations of our community and the challenges we face, our town needs Tim Quinn on Council.

Tim takes a thoughtful, deliberately collaborative approach to decision-making. He actively seeks stakeholders with varied perspectives, and embraces, rather than avoids, difficult, honest discussions. Tim’s approach is rooted in his deep commitment to transparency, and his understanding that representative leadership begins and ends with intentional listening to those perspectives. As president of the school board during the search for a new superintendent, Tim was adamant that the community be involved to the greatest extent possible.

He listened to over a dozen small stakeholder group discussions over several weeks, to ensure that the board’s search criteria and objectives were informed by and responsive to broad community input.

During our service with Tim on the school board, we frequently observed him pushing his elected colleagues and the professional staff to gather more data, do more homework, and rethink initial assumptions. Often, problems are presented as a stark, black-or-white choice, with neither solution entirely satisfactory. In his consensus-oriented way, Tim led the school board and the district in finding creative, nuanced solutions to these complex, politically tricky challenges.

But nuanced solutions aren’t always attainable, and even when they are, someone in the community is likely to disagree with a decision. Frequently, Tim would meet with affected stakeholders even after such a decision, hearing them out, explaining his reasoning, and then continuing to support and advocate for them to find a solution to their problem.

Tim has the conviction required to make the hard decisions that elected officials inevitably face. But he also understands that his responsibility to his constituents doesn’t end after a decision is made.

On June 4, please join us in voting to re-elect Tim Quinn, the candidate with the kind of experience that matters.

Supporting Michelle Lambros For Seat on Princeton Council

To the Editor: One of the reasons I have found living in Princeton to be different from living elsewhere is the variety and depth of contacts I have found possible here. Conversation is lively and intelligent, and people seek earnestly for answers to real problems, both personal and national.

But I think the most remarkable person I have met is Michelle Pirone Lambros. As a member of her campaign’s kitchen cabinet, I’ve seen how she receives the suggestions of a lively group of committed volunteers, all typical of the personalities I’ve encountered in 10 years here. She says little. She listens, she rejects ideas that might offend and explores ideas that make good sense. She takes notes, asks questions. She assigns to herself the task of getting answers, and to reaching out for help from further knowledgeable contacts. When offered help, she has specific assignments and responds freely. “Can you find this out?” “Can you research that?”

In other words, Michelle models responsive government.

A campaign is a model for action: a problem, a challenge, questions, sorting through of resources, an idea, an action, and results.

Michelle’s education and entrepreneurial experience extend beyond the limits of Princeton. She brings not only her family and personal history of deep Princeton roots, but also her broad experience in finding solutions within cultures as diverse as Florida, the Middle East, Washington, DC, and Mexico.

It’s not enough to know Princeton. To solve intractable problems we will have to go beyond what we know to understand what we do not yet know, to find answers. Michelle is the best example I have seen of that kind of candidate.

Vote in June for Michelle Pirone Lambros for Princeton Council.

Conversation With Krugman, Cheng Pays Tribute to Work of Uwe Reinhardt Paul Krugman and May Tsung-Mei Cheng will be at Labyrinth Books Tuesday, April 30 at 6 p.m. to talk about the ethics and economics of health-care policy. The event is a tribute to the life and work of Uwe Reinhardt (1937-2017) and his final book, Priced Out: The Economic and Ethical Costs of American Health Care ( P r inceton Univ. Press).

Elisabeth Rosenthal, author of An American Sickn e s s : Ho w He a lth c a r e Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back, comments, “As always, Uwe Reinhardt has managed to make me smile as he’s presenting a tragic story about U.S. health care. He couples an economist’s mathematical graphs and analysis with his unique, unsparing wry commentary. You can hear him on every page of this book. Demonstrating the infeasibility of many — actually, almost all — of the recent attempts at health care reform, he avers that Republican loss of control of one or both houses in 2018 would ‘change the debate

on health care.’ He predicts ‘major competing initiatives on health care’ from both parties in the 2020 campaign. It is a tragedy that he will not be here to analyze them.”

Uwe E. Reinhardt was the James Madison Professor of Political Economy and professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University, where he taught for nearly 50 years. May Tsung-Mei Cheng is health policy research analyst at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Paul Krugman is a Nobel laureate in economics, longtime columnist at the New York Times, Economics professor at CUNY Graduate Center, and the author of many influential books, including The Return of Depression Economics and The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century.

Press) with contributors Walter Johnston, Barbara Nagel, Peter Szendy and editor Daniel Hoffman-Schwartz, on Thursday, April 25 at 6 p.m. The Labyrinth Books event marks Herman Melville’s bicentennial and is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Comparative Literature, German, and French Departments.

Handsomely Done considers not only Melville’s reception across media (Jorge Luis Borges, John Huston, Jean-Luc Godard, Led Zeppelin, Claire Denis) but also the resonances and echoes of various political events and movements, such as the Attica uprising, the Red Army Faction, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter According to Ian Balfour, Handsomely Done is a “vibrant, fascinating collection of essays on the permanently powerful, enigmatic corpus of Melville’s writings.

The analyses range across the canonical and not-socanonical texts, articulating them with compelling works of art and pertinent historical configurations in Melville’s aftermath. Diverse in objects haunted or informed

by Melville, these intense essays never fail to illuminate.

Their close attention does a kind of belated justice to Melville too often denied in his lifetime.”

Katie Chenoweth is assistant professor of French at Princeton University; Daniel Hoffman-Schwartz is a lecturer in Comparative Literature at Princeton; Walter Johnston is visiting assistant professor of English at Williams College; Barbara Nagel is assistant professor of German at Princeton; Peter Szendy is Professor of Comparative Literature and Humanities at Brown University.

Anything Can Happen in Balzac: Redaction and Deception, Vice and Virtue in the Shadow of Notre-Dame

L

et’s say you’re a publicist crafting a blurb for a book that scored a million dollar advance only to be greeted with negative reviews, including one that gives you a workable sentence: “Although this is an overwritten, derivative, deeply flawed travesty of reality, the del u d e d a u t h o r s e e m s t o t h i n k i t ’s the great political novel the world has been waiting for.” Cut the first part, capitalize the “t” and you’ve got “[T]he great political novel the w o r l d h a s b e e n w a i t i n g f o r. ” Yo u can get away with this trick as long as you cover your tracks with that handy little bracket around the “T,” thus transforming a total trashing into a cause for celebration. And in the unlikely event of a lawsuit, one small, well-placed punctuation mark has given the publisher legal cover.

Last month the attorney general of the United States employed an almost identical act of typographical subterfuge to sabotage a crucial sentence in the Executive Summary of Volume 1 of the Mueller report. All he had to do was cut the first part: “Athough the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

By deep-sixing the incriminating reference to Russia’s perceptions and the Campaign’s expectations with that sly “[T]” for a “t” sleight of hand, Willliam Barr gave the hungry media a bogus, anodyne headline: “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in election interference activities.” Having found no punctuation mark with which to mask the damning “no exoneration” conclusion, the AG simply dismissed the obstruction of justice issue, setting the stage for a “total exoneration” celebration. Break out the champagne!

[A]nything Can Happen in Balzac In the wake of the Mueller report and the burning of Notre-Dame, I felt in need of a super caffeinated boost from Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), the author of the Human Comedy and poet laureate of perfidy and subterfuge.

While most journalists in search of literary reference points for the burning of Notre-Dame went right to Victor Hugo (1802-1885) and his eponymous novel, others cited Balzac’s The Wrong Side of Paris, more than half of which takes place in the shadow of the cathedral.

Originally published as L’Envers de l’histoire contemporaine in 1848, the novel was translated into English as The Seamy Side of History (a fitting title for this post-Mueller moment) and revived in 2005 by the Modern Library with the new title. Translated by Jordan Stump, the book carries a back-cover blurb from Linda Coverdale — “[A] fresh and fluent translation” — which naturally

reminded me of the attorney general’s handiwork, except this time there were no ulterior motives, only a question of space due to the length of Coverdale’s full statement.

A prize-winning translator herself, Coverdale ends her appreciation of Balzac by declaring that he “will always remain among the most modern of writers.” How modern is made clear in Adam Gopnik’s introduction. Calling Balzac “the first and far from the least magical of all the magic realists,” he compares the tension between Balzac’s satirical surrealism and social observation to that of late-twentieth-century writers like Colombian Gabriel García Márquez, whose readers know “what it feels like to pass, in the compass of thirty years, from middle-class security to the ravages of a fascist dictatorship through a communist insurrection, only to return to middle-class comfort at the end.” Gopnik observes that a similar “kaleidoscope of constant change and insecurity was the common experience of Balzac’s first audience, too,” because in his work he “shares with the great Latin American writers the constant sense that anything can happen [Gopnik’s emphasis].” And “the right novel for a society in which anything can happen is one in which any style might contain the truth.” Gopnik concludes by noting how Balzac’s “sudden switches from plain tale to folktale, from the credible to the frankly incredible” reflect his awareness of a public that “had been made and scarred by the free play of possibility” and “by the force of romantic ideas.”

When Gopnik calls Balzac’s art “a tribute to the power of a romantic imagination to go wild and still be sane,” he’s suggesting how it feels to ride a rollercoaster narrative propelled by the force of the author’s fascination with crime and punishment, sin and redemption, justice and injustice, money and power, and good and evil.

In the Heart of Old Paris The Wrong Side of Paris begins in the area of the Île de la Cité known as the Cloister, which is located “to the north of the cathedral and hence in its shadow.” The opening paragraph “sum-

mons up dreams of Paris,” from the city of the Romans and the Franks to the city of Napoleon and Louis-Philippe.

Balzac puts you right there (“Behind you rises the magnificent apse of the cathedral”) and then offers evidence of “constant change and insecurity”: “The Hotel de Ville speaks to you of Paris’s many upheavals, the Hotel-Dieu of her many miseries.”

The Cloister of Notre-Dame is “the very heart of old Paris ... the city’s loneliest and most melancholy spot,” where “the waters of the Seine clap against the quay, shrouded in the long shadows of the cathedral,” one of the novel’s numerous intimations of the all-encompassing presence of the Church. A few pages later Balzac describes the cathedral “as the last gleams of the setting sun” flood “over the stone, its beams filtering through the flying buttresses.” While the towers “stand resplendent in their halo of light,” the quay is plunged in shadow” amid “the moving, sacred harmonies of the cathedral bell.”

The Glamour of Conspiracy As you read the first and longest of the n o v e l ’s t w o episodes, you may find yourself wondering “ W h e r e ’s t h e wrong side?”

Is Balzac doing a William Barr? Has he redacted the d a r k , s e a m y, anything-canhappen side of Paris? Not to worry. Balzac delivers it with a vengeance in the wild and whirling second episode, which was written three years after the first and begins with a sentence that links them: “Sublime good can be every bit as contagious as evil.”

One of the splendors of Balzac is his determination to make good deeds and goodness as fascinating and mysterious as evil acts and evildoers. In Balzac and His World (1966), Felicien Marceau discusses how the author of the Human Comedy can turn “even good works into a matter for conspiracy.” One of L’Envers de l’histoire contemporaine’s first titles in English, along with The Seamy Side of History, which best fits the second episode, was The Brotherhood of Consolation, which refers to the secret society of good deeds joined in the first episode by the book’s existentially despairing 30-year-old pro-

tagonist Godefroid. The initiate is told of the group’s secret signs, the rule that in public they are never to show that they know one another, and are never to use Christian names, thus Godefroid is always Godefroid. Soon he’s “no longer just one man but a being with the strength of ten” who carries this “power in his heart,” experiencing “a plentitude of vitality, a noble inner strength that carried him to the heights.” This passage makes Marceau suspect that the man he thought was Saint-Vincent de Paul has energies in common with the master criminal Fantômas.

In fact, he sounds less like Fantômas than like Balzac himself. As the poet Swinburne has observed, every character in the Human Comedy is infected, for better or worse, with the author’s genius. Consider Godefroid’s thoughts as he takes part in his first mission for the Brotherhood: “To be a real actor in an unending drama — the very sort of drama that holds us spellbound when we read of it in the works of a famous author ... I never thought Virtue could be more enticing than Vice.”

When Madame de La Chanterie, who presides over the group, tells Godefroid, “My child, you have been seduced by the poetry of misfortune,” she might as well be Balzac talking to Balzac.

Degradations and Mutilations It’s fair to say that Victor Hugo was no less devoted to the poetry of misfortune in Les Miserables (1862). Although the same might be true of Notre-Dame de Paris (1831), the only time I “read” it was in the Classic Comic of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, a dumbed down variation on the legend of Beauty and the Beast played out by Quasimodo, the ogre of the bells, and Esmeralda the dancing girl.

Having just perused the opening chapters of the real novel during a news cycle ranging from the burning of Notre-Dame to the redacted Mueller Report, plus the attorney general’s twisted preview and the malign activities of the current administration, I found some parallels in Hugo’s prose, where he writes, almost two centuries ago, “The church of Notre-Dame de Paris is still no doubt, a majestic and sublime edifice.

But, beautiful as it has been preserved in growing old, it is difficult not to sigh, not to wax indignant, before the numberless degradations and mutilations which time and men have both caused the venerable monument to suffer.” hat passage begs for an American update, like maybe replacing Notre-Dame, “the venerable monument,” with “democracy” or “justice.” Even so, Hugo gets the eternal point across by adding a quote in Latin, Tempus edax, homo edacior, which he translates as “time is blind, man is stupid .” Online translations have it as “Time destroys, man destroys more.”

BOOK REVIEW

T

Theatre Intime is Presenting Shakespeare’s “Richard III”; Production Evokes Period Setting, Features Strong Performances

heatre Intime, whose cast and production team consist of Princeton University students, is presenting Shakespeare’s Richard III. Director Naomi Park has opted out of drawing overt parallels to political events outside of those that occur in the play; this sleek production evokes the 15th century without being constrained by it.

The play is a fictionalized depiction of the bloody rise to the throne, and downfall, of King Richard III of England (1452-1485), the former Duke of Gloucester. It is believed to have been written in the early 1590s; the New Cambridge edition of 1999 conjectures that the play was written in 1593, with the premiere possibly having taken place in 1594. It was published in the first Quarto in 1597, and was included in the First Folio (Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories & Tragedies) in 1623.

“I am determined to prove a villain and hate the idle pleasures of these days,” Richard confides to the audience at the beginning of the show. To gain the crown, Richard schemes to pit his brother, King Edward IV, against his other brother, the Duke of Clarence, by having the latter arrested on a trumped-up charge of treason, and murdered while imprisoned in the Tower of London. This places Richard in a position to serve as regent until Edward’s son (and namesake) is old enough to be crowned.

Richard then courts Lady Anne, the widow of Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales.

Despite her initial revulsion, Anne is taken in by his words, and agrees to marry him.

Subsequently Richard ensures that the lords who are loyal to Edward—including Hastings and Rivers—are imprisoned and killed. With the help of the Duke of Buckingham, Richard asserts that Edward’s children are illegitimate, after which Buckingham publicly offers Richard the throne.

Richard is crowned, but after becoming king he is increasingly paranoid, with good reason; Buckingham betrays him and leads a rebellion. Eventually Richard’s own mother, the Duchess of York, turns against him and declares that he is a tyrant.

After Anne mysteriously and conveniently dies, Richard plans to marry Queen Elizabeth’s daughter. Elizabeth pretends to consent but has betrothed her daughter to the Earl of Richmond, who is leading an army from France to go to war against Richard.

Before the final battle, Richard dreams of being haunted by the ghosts of those he has murdered, who tell him to “despair and die!”

The plot is intricate, and audience members who are unfamiliar with the play are encouraged to consult one of the numerous online resources (including Bardweb.net or Wikipedia) for a synopsis. However, Park helps us avoid missing the forest for the trees, as the production clearly conveys Richard’s progression from ambitious schemer to paranoid king. Even the placement of the intermission aids in this, as the second half opens with Richard’s ascension to the throne.

Park has chosen a gender-blind approach to casting. This, of course, is consistent with the play’s performance history. In Shakespeare’s time it was illegal for women to act, so the female roles were performed by boys or men.

The trend toward reversing this—casting female actors in the role of male characters— dates at least as far back as 1899, when Sarah Bernhardt portrayed Hamlet. More recently the Donmar Warehouse presented an allfemale production of Julius Caesar in 2012, and Glenda Jackson’s performance as King Lear is the talk of Broadway.

In this Richard III the gender-blind casting yields some talented performances. Through-

out the cast there could be a bit more attention paid to projection, but the delivery of lines is impassioned and convincing.

Paige Allen is outstanding as the Machiavellian title character, capturing Richard’s duplicity, and his evolution. In the first half Allen infuses Richard’s monologues with malicious glee, letting the character revel in his misdeeds. Richard’s interactions with other characters are entertainingly belligerent.

In the second half, when Richard is king and becomes increasingly paranoid, Allen’s performance is correspondingly edgier. Her delivery of the monologue following the scene in which Richard dreams of being haunted by his victims (“O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!”) successfully conveys the character’s rare, but crucial, moment of self-reflection.

Ruth Schultz gives a strong performance too, as the Earl of Richmond. Her delivery of the play’s concluding monologue is nuanced, and is somewhat reminiscent of Allen’s tone at the beginning. The portrayal suggests that although Richmond is being cast as a hero who defeats a wrongdoer, he likely is capable

RICHARD III: Performances are underway for “Richard III.” Presented by Theatre Intime and directed by Naomi Park ‘21, the play runs through April 27 at the Hamilton Murray Theater. Richard III (Paige Allen, left) persuades Lady Anne (Miranda Allegar, right) to marry him, despite the fact that he has murdered her first husband: Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales.

of imitating Richard’s villainous behavior.

Natalia Orlovsky also shines, in her portrayal of Margaret, the widow of Henry VI. She particularly commands the audience’s attention in her delivery of the monologue containing the line “Thyself a queen for me that was a queen!” Equally strong performances are given by Miranda Allegar as Lady Anne; Katie Bushman as Queen Elizabeth (the spouse of Edward IV); and Juliana Pulsinelli as the Duchess of York.

The cast is capably rounded out by Juan Lopez as King Edward IV; Nora Aguiar as Prince Edward; Eliana Cohen-Orth as Buckingham; Sakura Price as Clarence; Musab Almajnouni as Tyrell; Jack Busche as Hastings; Ashley Berland as Rivers; Isaac Martinez as York; and K. Stiefel as Catesby.

Park’s vision for the production is articulated by Ricky Feig’s effective set. A castle wall turns to reveal the interior of the Tower of London, an apt metaphor for the uncovering of the numerous machinations that transpire at court. The choice of colors is economical; a mostly-black set is punctuated by a bright-red throne and curtain.

The striking costumes by TJ Smith also use this palette. Almost all of the clothes are black and white; an exception is a dark red gown for Margaret, which matches her rage. Richard’s outfit is partially covered by black leather, hinting at armor.

Park’s staging gives the battle sequence its power by making full use of the available space, as the performers move from the stage into the aisles, drawing the audience into the action. The climactic duel between Richard and Richmond is well staged by fight choreographer Minjae Kim. Kim, who is also the production’s sound designer, has mixed some striking incidental music from a variety of sources, notably J.S. Bach, consisting chiefly of brooding strings punctuated by ominous drums and bells.

Kim’s sound design, and the lighting by Regan McCall, are integral to the eeriness of the scene in which Richard dreams of being haunted by the ghosts of his victims. ichard is “determined to prove a villain,” and so he does, albeit one who offers us a brief glimpse of his conscience before he meets his end. Theatre Intime’s Richard III successfully depicts the immoral protagonist’s journey from a tyrant who rises to power by destroying the lives of those around him, to one who is destroyed.

What happens in a community when industry leaves?

How does a percussion ensemble play a string quartet?

How do you respond to John Cage’s assertion that “percussion music is revolution”?

These topics will be explored in a special panel discussion following the preview perfor-

mance on Wednesday, May 1.

His tour credits include The Producers, A Chorus Line, Hello, Dolly!, Beauty and the Beast, Where’s Charley? (Kennedy Center) and Jubilee (Carnegie Hall).

Nathan Hurwitz, music director, has studied acting with Stella Adler, directing with Jack Garfein and conducting with Lehman Engel. He is currently an associate professor at Rider University. His third book, A Singer’s Guide to the Literature of the American Musical Theatre, has just been published by Routledge.

outdoors,” said Mead. “Lands we preserve and steward enrich our communities in many ways — conservation, food, recreation itself. From my office, I see children playing soccer and softball in the fields of Greenway Meadows. Families in vivid gear sled our snowy hill in winter. We want this art to remind everyone that play is an important part of who we are as people on the land.”

James Fiorentino joined the D&R Greenway board after his successful exhibition of endangered wildlife art at the Johnson Education Center, which went on to a nationwide tour.

Fiorentino increasingly paints endangered animals, in addition to his fame as portraitist of sports figure. “I love being able to connect with people who appreciate both the land and sports,” Fiorentino said.

“Babe simply means baseball.

As a Yankee fan, there is no greater legend — a great person off the field as well as on.”

“We can imagine Babe Ruth’s delight, seeing the wide variety of beautiful open places we have preserved,” says Mead. “We’re so pleased that James has made possible this vital connection among land, art, sports, and Linda Ruth Tosetti herself.”

“The Past Is Prologue” Exhibit at ArtYard

ArtYard will present “The Past Is Prologue: Vernacular Photography, Pop Photographica, and the Road to Selfie Culture,” an exhibition featuring vernacular photography from the collections of Daile Kaplan, W.M. Hunt, Nigel Poor, Pete Brook, and Cynthia Elyce Rubin, with original works by Marcia Lippman and Cassandra Zampini. This exhibition, running April 27 through July 28, offers an experiential guide to the evolution of everyday photography from the late 19th century to Instagram, and charts a terrain comprised of unauthored and found photographs as well as commercial objects and images divorced from their original contexts.

Works of vernacular photography encompass photo booth portraiture, family albums and snapshots, press prints from newspaper archives, and industrial catalogues.

An opening reception is Saturday, April 27, 6 to 8 p.m.

Daile Kaplan, director of photography and vice president of Swann Galleries in New York and an appraiser of photography for Antiques Road Show, is known for her pioneering work in the creation of the genre Pop Photographica, representing a range of functional, decorative, and commercial objects, from coffee cans to funeral fans emblazoned with images of the deceased. The photographic costume works from her collection in this show range from high-fashion dresses to humble pajamas.

W.M. Hunt’s collection of press prints from late 19 t h - c e nt u r y a n d e a rl y 20th-century newspaper illustrations are drawn from his Collection Dancing Bear and Collection Blind Pirate.

The former consists of beguiling images of people whose eyes are obscured; t he lat ter, of pre -1950s

groups of Americans, from military infantries to beautypageant contestants. This is the first time that Hunt, a prolific collector and writer in the field of photography, has drawn from both collections for an exhibition.

Photographer Marcia Lippman’s installation for this show is a meditation in found images about her lifelong search for an elusive biological mother. Originating in an era when adopted children were denied access to their own biographical information, Lippman’s quest has been a driving force behind her artistic practice.

A short film by ArtYard’s artistic director, Elsa Mora, about Lippman’s process accompanies the work.

Curator, lecturer, and collector Elyce Rubin’s collection of 19th-century portraits of merchant carnival ladies are also on display.

These images depict women in bustles adorned with everyday objects — from carpenter’s tools to pastries and kitchen tinware. Before the advent of sandwich boards or electronic media, women dressed in such outfits would parade around carnivals to advertise the wares of individual merchants.

This exhibition also includes a selection of images from the archives of Nigel Poor, a photographer and co-founder of the San Quentin prison-based podcast Ear Hustle. In the course of her work at San Quentin, she happened on a trove of untitled photographs taken inside the prison during the 1960s and ’70s. These images illuminate a world that remains hidden from view to this day.

Independent writer, curator, and educator Pete Brook works at the intersection of social justice, photography, and art. With the Brooklynbased gallery United Photo Industries, Brook created and curated “The Depository of Unwanted Photographs,” a crowdsourced archive of images and stories. A selection of the inventory is on view and visitors are invited to add to the collection by donating unwanted photographs.

Artist Cassandra Zampini’s film Datastream, part of her current series Data Mine, is constructed from thousands of clips of selfie footage posted on social media last year. Downloaded, aggregated, and strung together by Zampini for the film, these clips or selfie movies contain

reoccurring gestures, facial expressions, and camera perspectives. As one portrait disappears from the screen, it is replaced by another, revealing the uniformity of the modern-day portrait.

Sunflower and Friends In Hunterdon Art Tour

The third annual self-guided Hunterdon County Artists’ Studio Tour will be held on May 4 and 5, with open studios throughout Hunterdon County. Hours for each day are 10 a.m. to 6 pm. Among the 90-plus artists participating at more than 30 locations is Sunflower Glass Studio, which will again be open throughout the weekend showcasing their creations in Delaware Township, between Sergeantsville and Stockton, New Jersey.

Sunflower & Friends features the work of Karen and Geoff Caldwell, owners of Sunflower Glass Studio, and friends Diana Contine of Dakota Moon Jewelry, and ceramic artist Susan Kay Wechsler. Since 1978, the Caldwells have offered works of hand-crafted glass created at Sunflower Glass Studio. They combine four techniques — glass fusing, glass painting, glass beveling and stained glass — enabling them to create “richly detailed and uniquely designed” pieces that feature botanical scenes, ornate classical designs, arts & crafts styles, along with custom requests from collectors.

They are proud to provide their clients with the utmost artist-to-customer attention to assure satisfaction in every detail of their work.

“Inspiration from nature and divine feminine mystique” provide most of the imagery Diana Contine of Dakota Moon’s jewelry designs. to stimulate the mind and spark the imagination. in her jewelry pieces. Susan Wechsler’s ceramic art is a combination of stoneware and porcelain clay using slips, stains, and glazes. It is created with handbuilt slabs or woven coils.

The pieces are fired to cone 6 oxidation. They are both functional and decorative and include platters, bowls, cheese plates with matching knives and woven baskets for bread and fruit.

Conceptual Art at Grounds For Sculpture

In May, Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) will present the work of multinational conceptual artist Tallur L.N. in his first survey exhibition in the United States. On view May 5 through January 5, 2020 and filling two multi-level galleries, “Interference Fringe | Tallur L.N.” brings together a survey of over 25 sculptures created during the past 13 years in a range of media including found objects, appropriated industrial machines, carved stone and wood, cast bronze, and works embedded in concrete and coated in oil.

The exhibition includes the premiere of a new work and the exhibition’s partial namesake, Fringe (2019), a towering 18’-tall site-specific installation coated in bone meal, bone char, and crushed bone, which was inspired by historic Indian temple fragments in the collection of the

Philadelphia Museum of Art. Also on view is the debut of a video work, Interference (2019), inaugurating Tallur’s use of film as an artistic medium. This slow-motion video captures smoke-like plumes of dust being beaten out of a historic rug from the collection of the Junagagh Museum in Gujart, India, and obscuring its intricate pattern.

In one gallery, works are sited on industrial scaffolding, an intervention which upends typical museum displays.

While visitors are invited to walk through and ascend the structure, it intentionally obstructs views and provides partial access, thereby forcing viewers to accept multiple perspectives on the sculptures and their meaning. In another installation, Apocalypse (2010), viewers must squeeze through cage bars and are invited to deposit coins into an industrial polishing machine.

Following Tallur’s careful in-

structions, the coins become “civilized” and are polished to the point of denuding their value.

Tallur’s practice explores the ways in which humans navigate the absurdities of a world rife with competing anxieties, desires, and fears.

At a moment in our collective history when society is often at odds with itself, and the lines between reality or truth can sometimes feel arbitrary, Tallur’s work amplifies and distorts what we hold as true or sacred and illuminates paradoxes and contradictions.

Building on the rich sculptural traditions of India, he references ancient iconography, Hindu symbols, and mythology. Tallur purposefully obscures, transforms, and subverts the traditional reading of these historic references as he creates conceptual metaphors through the manipulation and integration/ dis-integration of materials.

His work acknowledges the complexity of the global world we live in and creates dynamic tension between the past and present while provoking questions about the future.

The exhibition title alludes to the notion that we simultaneously carry forward and censor memories of the past, and that this subjective retell-

ing becomes history. Tallur likens this process of collective memory and collective amnesia to two strong waves.

In physics, “interference” is a phenomenon in which two waves come together.

If their frequency and wavelength are in sync, they can amplify, diminish, or completely negate each other.

The idea of conflicting signals speaks to the competing stories, celebration of select relics, and contradictory meanings we bestow.

A recipient of The Skoda Prize for Indian Contemporary Art, Tallur has exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions in Germany, South Korea, India, China, and the United States. He is represented by Nature Morte (New Delhi), Gallery Chemould (Mumbai), Arario Gallery (Seoul), and Jack Shainman (New York City), and his work is in public and private collections. He received a BFA in painting from Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (1996), an MFA in museology from Maharaja Sayyajirao University (1998), and an MA in contemporary fine art Practice from Leeds Metropolitan University (2002).

Tallur was born in Karnataka, India, and splits his time between his rural family home in Karnataka and the industrial urban city of Daegu, South Korea. This process of moving between cultures informs his global view and brings a fresh perspective to his daily life, politics, technology, and mythology.

Grounds For Sculpture is located at 80 Sculptors Way in Hamilton. For more information, visit www.groundsforsculpture.org.

CINEMA REVIEW

Teen Spirit

Elle Fanning Stars as Aspiring Singer in Coming-of-Age Drama

V

iolet Valenski (Elle Fanning) is a 17-year-old living with her single-mom (Agnieszka Grochowska) on a modest family farm on the Isle of Wight. She secretly dreams of becoming a pop star, but has no time to pursue it between school and several part-time jobs.

Besides attending to animals at home, she waitresses at a pub and clerks at a convenience store.

Violet’s fortunes change the day that the producers of Teen Spirit visit town in search of the next singing sensation. Teen Spirit is a reality-TV series similar to American Idol, The X Factor and other talent competitions.

Violet’s very eager to audition, but can only participate if her disapproving mother signs the release form. It looks like the end of the line when momma refuses to do so, until an unlikely knight in shining armor arrives in Vlad (Zlatko Buric), a fan who has seen her perform in a local bar on open mic nights.

Turns out Vlad, a former opera singer, is eager not only to train Violet’s voice, but to serve as her guardian. And over the ensuing weeks, we watch as a diamond in the rough blossoms into a world-class talent.

Thus unfolds Teen Spirit, a coming-of-age tale directed

by Max Minghella. The uplifting, overcoming-the-odds adventure borrows elements from many a classic of the genre, ranging from Cinderella to Karate Kid. It even goes so far as to include the theme from Flashdance on the soundtrack.

Shamelessly derivative, but still manages to tug on your heartstrings!

Very Good (H H H). Rated PG-13 for suggestive content, and for underage smoking and drinking. Running time: 92 minutes. Production Companies: Interscope Films / Automatik Entertainment / Blank Tape. Distributor: Bleecker Street Media / LD Entertainment.

Profeta Farms Organic Farm and Farm Market Offers Assorted Produce, Meat, and Baked Goods

A

visit to Profeta Farms Organic Farm and Farm Market in some ways is a journey back in time. A time when produce was grown in soil, free of dangerous chemicals and pesticides; grass-fed cattle were allowed to feed in various pastures; free-range chickens and healthy pigs were provided with freedom in their natural surroundings; and baked goods were made from scratch with the healthiest ingredients.

Profeta Farms, located at

IT’S NEW To Us

803 Route 202 in Readington (just north of Flemington), was founded in 2012, and its Farm Market opened in April 2019.

Profeta’s mission statement points out that the farm “strives to create a diverse food system that promotes healthy soil, plants, animals, and people.

We were founded with the goal of creating a farm that not only adheres to but goes above and beyond the standards of USDA organic certification.

“Our mission is to improve the health of our community by growing a variety of foods using common sense organic farming practices, resulting in nutrientdense foods, and to provide high quality foods to the community through a single local, organic responsible source.”

Healthy Diet A second farm location in Nazareth, Pa. is home to 40 dairy cows and also corn and

soybean crops.

“We want to educate people about the advantages of eating a healthy diet,” says Profeta Farms COO and co-founder John Place, who has been farming for many years, and has his own farm in Pennsylvania.

As he explains, “I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and I am actually a first generation farmer. I was always interested in horses, and rode and trained them. I majored in animal science in college, with the thought of training horses. But then I got interested in cattle and farming, and now, more than half of my life has been spent farming.

“At Profeta Farms, we focus on regenerative agriculture, which means we are regenerating the soil by adding nutrients and breathing life into worn-out soil. It takes a period of three years to transition the land into organic. Our 1200 acres are all certified organic or in transition. Healthy soils create healthier grass for the cattle.”

He points out that natural pesticides, such as botanicals and helpful insects, are used.

“Our efforts to regenerate our soils combined with our common sense approach to farming — blending modern techniques with old world — yield a superior product that we are proud to share with customers.”

Farming Practices The farm’s wide range of products is available for purchase at the on-site farm market, which greatly reduces the distance food has to travel to get to the consumer.

“We are transparent about

our farming practices, so you know where and how your food is grown, raised, harvested, and processed. In addition, we are uncompromising in our animal welfare standards. Our cattle, pigs, and chickens are always treated humanely.”

The Profeta Farms scenario is truly “farm to table”. Produce is grown on the farm, and is then available in the Farm Market for customers to take home.

The same is true of milk, eggs, meat, and poultry. With a few exceptions, everything in the Farm Market is from the farm.

Customers will find a variety of farm fresh fruits and vegetables. Lettuce, kale, tomatoes, corn, broccoli, potatoes, onions, carrots, beets and shallots are all available seasonally, and in addition, strawberries and melons are in stock— and, strawberry jam, made from the farm’s strawberries, will be delicious on the farm’s homemade bread.

A special wall in the market features Profeta’s Farms hydroponic choices. These include various herbs, greens, and kale. The hydroponic method of growing plants without soil by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent ensures that some of the products are available year-round.

The market’s meat and poultry section includes chicken, beef, ham, pork, sausage, and many other choices. The Farm Market’s in-house butcher will personally fill an order.

Highest Quality A wide array of prepared food is available for people on the go, and ice cream and baked goods (pastries and homemade bread)

are all made on the premises, as is the market’s own pizza, made with the best ingredients. A variety of samples is available for tasting.

An executive chef, and a number of other chefs, are all on hand to oversee the preparations, and make sure the products are of the highest quality and reflect Profeta Farms’ standards.

Princeton residents will be delighted to meet their old friend Michel Lemmerling, former owner of Bon Appetit in the Princeton Shopping Center for many years, who is now Profeta Farms cheese expert. He is happy to help customers with their cheese selection, which includes cheeses from around the world.

“With the exception of cheese, everything in the market is organic,” explains John Place. “Our cheese is very high quality, and comes from likeminded farmers. It just may not be certified organic.”

Reaction to the Farm Market’s opening has been enthusiastic, he reports. “We have many regular customers already, and they tell us they are so glad we have opened. They are coming from all over, and some have found us on-line. They are all ages, and we are seeing lots of families with kids.

“We feel we are set apart by our customer service,” he continues. “We try to create a shopping experience for everyone.

We are not just a place to buy food. We’ll be having tours of the farm and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Service-Oriented “We are also very proud of our staff. They are wonderful.

Everyone works hard, and they are so helpful with the customers. We pay particular attention

FARM FRESH: “We are a certified organic farm. In accordance with organic certification regulations, we use no antibiotics, hormones, or GMO feeds with our animals. Our other products have no chemicals or chemical fertilizers. We don’t know of any other organic establishment as diversified as ours. We have all the major food groups.” John Place (left) COO and cofounder of Profeta Farms, is shown with CEO and co-founder Paul Profeta. to hiring people with a serviceoriented culture. We are trying to create a community. Food brings people together — including the customers and our staff.”

The spacious Farm Market is conducive to browsing as well as buying, and customers enjoy taking time to explore the great variety of products. A few tables are available for standup tasting and eating, and this summer, outside tables will be added for al fresco dining.

A recent customer was especially pleased to find an excellent selection of heirloom tomatoes, which he was planning to include in a salad, along with Profet Farms’ choices of greens, carrots, shallots, etc. Another visitor, Tim Bebout of Flemington, who owns the Main Street Bed & Breakfast, said, “We focus on organic products,

and we have eagerly been waiting for Profeta Farm Market to open. We couldn’t be happier.”

Prices are competitive in the organic market, notes Place, and as he says, “We look forward to our type of food products being taken seriously. We can produce a model that is successful, and then others can replicate it, and people can have healthier food.

“We also look forward to educating our community and helping people have an understanding of the food sources and knowing the farm. And we work hard every day. Organic farming is hard, so of course, we’re doing it!”

The Farm Market is open seven days, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Sowers Ties Career Scoring Mark for PU Men’s Lax: Tigers Top Harvard, Stay Alive for Ivy Playoff Spot

M

ichael Sowers doesn’t dwell on his glittering stats for the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team but he does have a deep appreciation for the program’s storied past.

So last Saturday, when junior attacker Sowers tallied three goals and seven assists in Princeton’s 19-15 win over Harvard, tying Kevin Lowe ’94 for the program record in career points with 247, his thoughts turned to the stars who came before him.

“To be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys is an unbelievable honor,” said Sowers, who needed just 41 games to pile up 98 goals and 149 assists to achieve the record while it took Lowe 60 to hit the mark.

“Those guys are the greatest to ever do it and they will always be the greatest for this program. What they did and those banners behind me, I don’t think that will ever be matched. So it is truly an honor.”

True to character, Sowers spread the credit for his achievement. “A lot of it is attributed to coach Mads [PU head coach Matt Matt Madalon] and coach [Pat] March; it is just a growth mindset I approach coming into every year,” said the 5’9, 175-pound Sowers, a native of Dresher, Pa. who how has 82 points this spring on 30 goals and 52 assists.

“It is what can I do to get better; what can I do to help the team. That starts from the top with coach Mads; at the end of very year we sit down and talk about what I can do individually to get better.”

Sowers noted that having teammates like Chris Brown (5 goals against Harvard), Emmet Cordrey (2 goals, 3 assists), Alex Vardaro (1 goal), Charlie Durbin (3 goals) and Phillip Robertson helps him pile up the assist totals.

“You saw it today,” said Sowers, who was later named the Ivy Co-Player of the Week. “Brownie [Chris Brown] is stepping in. Emmet, Vardaro, Robertson, and Durbin all played well.

It really makes my job easy.”

The Tigers did a good overall as the program held its annual Senior Day celebration and improved to 7-6 overall and 2-3 Ivy League by virtue of the win over the Crimson. In so doing, Princeton, which has posted four straight victories, kept its hopes alive of giving the seniors a shot at playing in the Ivy postseason tournament as it heads into the regular season finale at No. 9 Cornell (9-4 overall, 3-2 Ivy) on April 27. The Tigers can place in the top four in the standings and qualify for the Ivy postseason tournament by beating Cornell as long as Brown (5-8 overall, 2-3 Ivy) loses to Dartmouth (2-10 overall, 0-5 Ivy). Should Brown beat Dartmouth, Princeton would need to beat Cornell by at least three goals to make the tourney based on Ivy tiebreaker rules as the three teams would all be 3-3 in league play.

“They are all great guys, they are an awesome group,” said Sower of the team’s Class of 2019 which includes Charlie Tarry, Mike Morean, Aran Roberts, Dawson McKenzie,

co-captain Strib Walker, and Alexander Fish in addition to Cordrey and Durbin.

“Being a junior captain, I will always look up to them.

It will always be their team.

I think us turning around at 3-6; it could have gone one or two ways and a lot of that is attributed to the senior class. If you saw the way we practice, energy doesn’t change from day one to Monday. They are the reason for that; we are really lucky to have a group like that.”

Sowers acknowledged that the Tigers needed to expend a lot of energy to hold off a determined Harvard squad.

“They are a really well coached team,” said Sowers.

“They always play hard, we always play each other tough so we were expecting a hard fought game. It just happened to be a track meet.”

Princeton displayed the firepower to run past the Crimson. “We had a great game plan going in; coach March always does a great job of setting our game plan and it is weather we execute it or not,” said Sowers.

“Today, we were fortunate enough to execute the game plan he laid out so we were excited about that.”

Princeton head coach Matt Madalon was excited by his squad’s execution at the offensive end.

“We were humming, we were doing a really nice job and being really smart about how we were taking on that defense,” said Madalon.“We were able to hit some shots.

That is a well coached team and we were able to squeak some by them early.”

Madalon credited Sowers with being the catalyst.“He does a really nice job of letting it unfold; you rarely see him press,” said Madalon.

“Occasionally he does force things but today, he really let it come to him and took advantage of the matchups. We were able to get his hands free and he was able to make some plays. He really did a nice job.”

Reflecting on Sowers’ historic offensive production, Madalon is taken back by how much his junior star has already accomplished.

“Tying the record is incredible, it is just so impressive,” added Madalon. “We feature him in our offense so he is the benefactor of that but that guy makes plays. He is pretty fun to watch.”

It was fun for Madalon to see the program’s seniors enjoy a winning home finale.

“It is hard every time when you have to say goodbye to seniors, it is not goodbye yet which is a great thing,” said Madalon.

“We put a lot on our seniors, we start every single year saying we will go as far as our senior class takes us.

It was great to see guys like Mike Morean and Emmet really step up and have great days. A lot of those guys played really well, like Charlie Tarry and Aran Roberts.”

Madalon acknowledged that the Tigers need to step up their defensive game.

“We wished we would have clamped down defensively earlier,” said Madalon.

“It wasn’t a matter of 6-on6 defense, there were a lot of broken plays and in those broken plays, there were some undisciplined moments of some loose ball pushes.

There were some oppor-

LEAPING INTO HISTORY: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Michael Sowers leaps into a shot in a recent game.

Last Saturday, junior attackman Sowers tallied three goals and seven assists in Princeton’s 19-15 win over Harvard, tying Kevin Lowe for the program record for points with 247 in the process. The Tigers, now 7-6 overall and 2-3 Ivy League, play at Cornell on April 27, needing a win to stay alive in their bid to make the league postseason tournament.

tunities to get out of those and really open the gap. We didn’t play well enough to do that; that was the disconcerting part for us.”

In Madalon’s view, Princeton will be primed to seize the opportunity when it plays at Cornell this Saturday.

“We got a lot of work to do, we are happy to come out with a win in Senior Day on Class of 52 for those guys,” said Madalon.

“We are going to keep getting better. It is an incredible rivalry with Cornell and we will be looking forward to making a trip up there. We are going to have a heck of

a week to prepare. We are going to throw everything at them.”

Sowers, for his part, is confident that Princeton will give everything it has in the contest.

“They are a great team, they have great players, and they are really well coached,” said Sowers.

“It is similar to this game, we always play each other tough. We won’t be thinking that we have got to beat them by three; we just want to go out and win. We just want to put our best foot forward each and every week.”

Handling Constant Change with Aplomb, PU Women’s Water Polo Excited for CWPAs The Princeton University women’s water polo team will open the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) tournament in Providence, R.I. this weekend as the No. 2 seed, the same seed it earned last year.

But this year’s Tiger team is a far different group from a year ago, and over the last three years there has been quite a lot of change in the program.

It graduated last year’s AllAmericans Chelsea Johnson and Haley Wan, who were two of the best at scoring and drawing ejections. Two years ago, Princeton was headlined

by Johnson’s sister, Ashleigh, an Olympic gold medalist goalie for the United States national team.

“I think we’re like some small fish in a big pond in a way,” said Princeton junior star Amy Castellano, a native of Yorba Linda, Calif. who has the No. 15 Tigers post an overall record of 19-8.

“It makes us underdogs. We don’t have those big names.

Michigan does and other schools, especially West Coast schools, have the big names.

Having that common bond – not having these superstars – is what makes our team so great because we’re able to all play for each other. We don’t rely on one individual more than anyone else.”

Castellano is one of the Tigers forced to grow up this year. She’s assumed a bigger role with her goals climbing from 46 last year to a teamhigh 71 this season.

“My team has done a great job of setting me up,” said Castellano. “We’ve been able to move the ball. We have great chemistry which allows me to be open for these goals. Without them I wouldn’t be able to have the season that I’m having. It’s helpful when we have so many people that are threats on offense so not one of us can be shut down if we’re all playing together.”

At the other end of the pool, sophomore Marissa Webb has anchored the Princeton defense. The sophomore goalie started last year as a freshman, taking on the unenviable task of replacing Ashleigh Johnson.

“I hope I’ve surprised them a little bit that I can hold my own despite not being a 6-1 or 6-2 Olympic gold medalist,” said Webb, a native of Danville, Calif. who has saved 54.6 percent of the shots she’s faced.

“It’s definitely been an adjustment for everyone. Not having Ashleigh, our defense has to be a lot stronger now that she’s gone. Everyone is working together. It can’t just be me running the show.

It does make our team a lot stronger as a whole.”

On top of it all, Princeton has its third head coach in three years. Derek Ellingson, a former assistant coach in the program, took over as head coach in June to replace interim head coach Becca Dorst. Longtime head coach Luis Nicolao left two years ago.

“We really went into this season not knowing what to expect because we have a new head coach,” said Castellano. “My class has a new head coach every single year. We’ve always come in a little not knowing what to expect. Derek has been great. He took a new approach of making sure we’re not only OK in the pool but OK outside of the pool.

He has made us feel comfortable and been understanding throughout the whole process, which makes it easier to transition from coach to coach.

He’ll just call and check in on us each day.”

As returning starters, Castellano and Webb were ready to both raise their games and provide leadership.

“Having been through last year, I got a lot of playing time, which is not normal for a D1 college freshman for any sport, really,” Webb said.

“It was great to have that opportunity to learn and to grow.

Coming into this year, it’s allowed me to have more experience and have that foundation

MAKING A SPLASH: Princeton University women’s water polo player Amy Castellano unloads the ball in a game this season. Junior star Castellano has scored a team-high 71 goals this season to help No. 15 Princeton go 19-8 overall and enter the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) tournament this weekend in Providence, R.I. as the No. 2 seed. The Tigers face Saint Francis in a quarterfinal contest on April 26 with the victor facing the winner of Bucknell/ George Washington matchup the next day in the semis and the championship game slated for Sunday.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) that I set last year. I know what to expect. Not everything is new. You know the teams and what to expect. Last year set a foundation for this year.”

Castellano lost the second half of her freshman year to an injury, but came back strong and motivated last year.

She doesn’t take anything for granted after missing so much time her first year, and she’s become a driving force for the offense.

“Because we have such a small senior class, my role has been also as one of the leaders,” said Castellano.

“Our two seniors [Eliza Britt and Lindsey Kelleher] are our captains and sometimes, in the spring semester when they’re bogged down with their thesis and work and things like that, I’ve had to step in to almost be a little co-manager to them.

My role on the team has been bigger than in the past just because we don’t have a big senior presence. I’ve been able to build relationships with all my teammates. When you have that opportunity it translates in the pool. When you have an opportunity to mentor the underclassmen outside of the water, you play more together and cohesively inside the water. I’ve enjoyed taking on that role this year.”

Princeton’s two seniors, Britt and Kelleher, have been steady starters, having each tallied 27 goals this season. The Tigers have a lot of less experienced

players around them, but they have made it work.

“Last year, more than half of our starters were upperclassmen,” said Webb.

“Me and another girl were the only underclassmen that were starting. This year, it’s a lot different. Everyone’s getting playing time. The freshmen have stepped up in a big role that we didn’t see last year along with the sophomores that were freshmen last year.

It’s been an interesting process to see how much everyone has grown this season. We lost a lot of experience but we’re definitely gaining a lot of experience now.”

Princeton will open the CWPA Championships on April 26. against seventh-seeded St. Francis. The victor faces the Bucknell-George Washington winner in a semifinal contest on Saturday. The final is slated for Sunday. Michigan is the top seed, and Brown is the host of the tournament that rotates sites yearly.

“We’re pretty excited heading into this final weekend,” Castellano said. “I know Michigan is our toughest competition and coming off a 9-6 loss to them two weeks ago, it was still a pretty big accomplishment for us. We’re the only team in the league that has had that close of a game with them. Even though it was a loss, it was still a big confidence booster heading into the last weekend.”

The year began with Ellingson emphasizing fitness to the team. The Tigers swam more than they played water polo in practices, but their conditioning has paid dividends. They also use more bodies than last year which helps them wear down opponents.

“This year is a lot different from last year in that this team is really deep and everyone can really hold their own when they’re playing,” said Webb.

“Last year, the starters played most of the time. We’d sub two or three from the bench but it didn’t go much farther than that. Everyone is getting a lot of experience this year and I think it’s going to set a good foundation for the team moving forward because they’re getting more playing time and everyone is learning and growing. It’ll make our team a lot stronger for future years. Maybe we don’t have a few powerhouse players like we did last year, but I think it’ll create those powerhouse players.”

The Tigers come into the CWPA Championships a far better team than when the season began and feel prepared to make a run to the title game.

“I think this year the biggest thing that’s given us confidence is we’ve trained hard enough this year, probably harder than years past,” said Castellano. “We know we’re in shape to keep up with Michigan and we can hang with these high caliber teams.”

Princeton will need to knock off three of them in a row to win the CWPA title and a berth in the NCAA Final Four. The Tigers have to take care of business the first two rounds for another shot at the presumed favorite, Michigan. Last year, Michigan won the rematch in the final after Princeton ended their 24game CWPA win streak in the regular season. Turning the tables would be quite a finish for this year’s Tigers.

“It would be an amazing opportunity to compete in the NCAAs because I’m not sure if the seniors have ever done that,” said Webb.

“Definitely the freshman, sophomores and juniors haven’t had that opportunity to compete against that high level in the NCAA tournament.

I think it would be an amazing achievement and almost like a reward for the hard work we put in. As long as we play well and improving every game, we’ll be happy no matter what the score of the game.”

SHINING LIGHTS: Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity eight shows its form in a race this spring. Second-ranked Princeton, now 8-1, hosts the Harvard and Yale on April 27 in the race for the Goldthwait/Vogel Cups.

“T hey are all business and they are focused. There is no complacency in terms of how much they want to improve t hems elves day to day, week to week.

They had five hours to think about it on the bus ride home and had a week to think about it and the next time we face them, hopefully we will match up better.”

This weekend, Princeton, now 8-1, will be involved in a classic matchup as it hosts Harvard and Yale on April 27 in the race for the

Goldthwait/Vogel Cups.

“It has been since 1998 since Princeton has won t h e G ol d t h w a i t Cu p o n Lake Carnegie,” said Crotty, noting the Tigers have prevailed at the other two venues during that span, including winning in New Haven, Conn. last year.

“A fire burns inside of me knowing that it has been 0 -for- 6 here since 1998 ; it is a three-year rotation.

I am not silent about that.

With some special suppor ters on hand, Crot t y believes that his top boat will make a big impact at the regatta.

“We have got some alums coming back; we thought it would be fun to do somet h ing arou nd t he H Y P,” said Crotty.

“It is going to be a big weekend around here, there are going to be a lot of old faces there. Guys who we really love, guys who have won a Goldthwait Cup or two on Lake Carnegie. Hopefully it will be a good spirited effort.”

PU Soccer Alum Marsch To Guide RB Salzburg

Former Princeton University soccer player and assistant coach Jesse Marsch ‘96 has been named as the next head coach of RB Salzburg of the Austrian Bundesliga, the team said last week.

Marsch is the current assistant coach of German Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, a position he took in July 2018. He will take over as head coach of RB Salzburg this summer and will be aiming to end a run that has seen Salzburg fail to get past the Champions League qualifiers for 11 seasons in a row, although they did reach last season’s Europa League semifinals.

Marsch joined the Red Bulls organization in 2015 when he was named head coach of Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls. He left NYRB as the winningest coach in club history and was named MLS Coach of the Year in his first season, while taking the squad to the 2015 Supporters’ Shield, a U.S. Open Cup final appearance, and two trips to the CONCACAF Champions League, including a semifinal appearance in 2018.

One of the most decorated players in the MLS, Marsch

won three MLS Cup titles and four U.S. Open Cup medals during his 14-year MLS career. Drafted in 1996, Marsch was a member of DC United (96-97), the Chicago Fire (98-05) and Chivas USA (0609). The midfielder played in 321 career games, ninth most by a field player in MLS history. He made 286 starts and scored 31 goals and 40 assists. Prior to his retirement in 2010, Marsch was one of just four remaining MLS originals and was the first player to win three MLS titles.

Following his playing retirement, Marsch was hired

by Bob Bradley ‘80 as an assistant coach for the US Men’s National Team. Bradley was Marsch’s coach at Princeton, at the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA. Marsch helped the US win its group at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first time the team won its pool since 1930, before finishing in 12th place.

The US was the runner-up at the 2011 Gold Cup, losing to Mexico in the final.

In August 2011, Marsch was named the first head coach of the MLS expansion team the Montreal Impact. He parted ways with the Impact in November 2012 after leading them to the most successful inaugural MLS team record since Seattle’s record 12 wins in 2009, and then joined the Princeton men’s soccer team as a volunteer coach during the 2013 and 2014 seasons, helping the Tigers win the Ivy League in 2014.

For Aiden Regan, moving up to the Princeton High baseball team after spending two years on the junior varsity hasn’t been an easy process.

“Down there, it is much different,” said PHS junior first baseman Regan.

“It is a challenge on varsity, but it is a good adjustment. I am working in here.

There are some great guys ahead of me, so it is anything I can do to help the team.”

Last week, Regan helped PHS with his bat, stroking a double in a 1-0 loss to Nottingham on April 16 and then went 1-for-3 with a single in fourth inning rally as the Tigers fell 5-1 to Hamilton.

In reflecting on the hit agains t Ham ilton wh ich helped PHS plate its only run of the contest as he advanced Eli Okoye to third base, Regan adjusted his hitting approach.

“I noticed he threw that slider a lot on the first pitch,” said Regan.

“That is what I was looking for. It felt good when got it. I saw it and I did my job.

We have been struggling a little bit in the hitting. We just got a couple of hits strung together.”

A s Regan gets varsit y experience this spring, he has been stringing things together.

“Rarely do you ever see the pitch you want, that fastball; it is lot more competitive and I am definitely starting to adjust to that,” said Regan.

“I am changing my approach to just be more aggressive, pick a pitch to expect. Then you see it and hit it.”

PHS head coach Dom Capuano liked the competitiveness his team displayed in the Hamilton game.

“Those are the things we need to build upon; we had a nice rally there and we need more of them,” said Capuano.

“It is tak ing t hat and thinking why did that rally

GETTING IN THE SWING: Princeton High baseball player Aiden Regan follows through on a swing in recent action. Junior first baseman Regan is emerging as a key contributor for the Tigers in his first varsity campaign. PHS, who moved to 3-7 with a 6-3 loss to Notre Dame last Thursday, plays at Princeton Day School on April 24, at Robbinsville on April 26, and at Allentown on April 29.

happen ; what did we do differently in that inning as far as our approach at the plate. As much as it is physical for us at the plate a lot of it is mental. Today we were much more aggressive, which was nice. It is not really going to show in the box score but when you look at today’s approaches versus yesterday or previous approaches, we had better approaches. It is a step in the right direction.”

Regan is gaining some aggressiveness as he adjusts to the a higher level of play.

“Aiden is the type of kid where he hits in spurts; he had a double yesterday and a hit today,” said Capuano.

“He is hitting a spurt so we have to ride the wave while it is happening. He is working in there, mentally he has matured which is helping him. Whether he pitches or he is on the bench, he has been a great teammate. His mentality is great. If he can continue on the trend he is on, he is going to really help us in this turnaround.”

T he Tigers have been getting solid work on the mound as senior Ben Amon produced a superb outing in the loss to Nottingham and Tommy Delany was solid against Hamilton.

“We have the pitching to stay with these teams,” said Capuano, whose team moved to 3-7 with a 6-3 loss to Notre Dame last Thursday and plays at Princeton Day School on April 24, at Robbinsville on April 26, and at Allentown on April 29. “We are in all of these games.”

In order to start beating teams, PHS has to bring more swagger to the diamond.

“We have got to walk on the field feeling like we belong with everybody,” said Capuano.

“We can’t we can’t show up being lackadaisical and not confident in ourselves. It is having the confidence of a team who belongs, not the team who our record reflects.”

In Regan’s view, the Tigers need to show that confidence from the first pitch.

“We struggle with coming out with that aggression and keeping our energy up,” said Regan.

“We have those spikes, like that fourth inning today. We have been improving. Our defense has definitely been improving and our pitching has continued to be excellent. We just need to keep chipping away at our hitting and working on approaches.”

Featuring a Totally Revamped Singles Lineup, PHS Boys’ Tennis Working Hard to Improve Losing two singles stars to graduation and another due to injury, the Princeton High boys’ tennis team has a new look at the top of its lineup.

“We are not looking at same strength in our singles lineup,” said PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert, whose Clas s of 2018 include d standouts Noah Lilienthal and Kevin Yang with current senior Jerry Gu sidelined by injury.

“But the guys that are there want to be there. They are working hard, they are trying their best. We will take each match as it comes and work as hard as we can.”

After dropping matches to HoVal and WW/P-North to start the 2019 campaign, PHS has reeled off four straight wins, highlighted by a dramatic 3-2 victory over Hightstown on April 8.

“It is always tricky to open the season with two of the toughest competitors, especially since we were missing our second doubles team for those matches,” said Hibbert.

“We had a real good battle with Hightstown. That match had four three-setters.”

Stepping into the first singles spot, senior Simon Hwang has shown that he is ready to battle against the best players in the area.

“Simon has got a solid all around game; he is a good player, he is ver y quick around the court,” said Hibbert, noting that Hwang played second singles as a sophomore and moved to doubles last spring due to the team’s strong singles lineup.

“He will really get the chance to shine this year. He will be challenged, you have some real standout players at first singles. It is a really tough county and there are some really hard matches at one. He is willing to work through it.”

Junior Justin Lyu has displayed toughness in making the jump from JV to second singles.

“He has worked on his game to get to second singles; he played some good challenge matches,” said Hibbert.

“He has been competitive in several of the matches. It takes a little while to settle into a new position, so we are hoping that after he gets a few varsity matches under his belt, he will start feeling a little more confident in that position.”

At third singles, senior Aryaman Babber is emerging as a stalwart for the Tigers this spring.

“A r yaman has b een a steady presence for us at third singles so far this season; he moved up from the doubles lineup last year,” said Hibbert.

“He had a two-hour first set with the gentleman from Hopewell, so he showed he was willing to grind. He was able to provide important points for us against Hightstown and Allentown.”

At first doubles, junior Alex Hojelbane and senior Sameer Joshi have come together well.

“Alex has strong groundstrokes, he has good volleys, he has a really good overall game and has good tennis sense,” said Hibbert.

“Sameer has very solid ground strokes, he has a good serve, and has got good tennis sense. They did complement each other well.

I watched them play a match together in preseason and I saw the potential for them to make a really strong duo.

They have had some good matches.”

Sophomore twins, Dylan and Ethan Parker, give PHS a special chemistry at second doubles.

“They are very fast and a very athletic,” said Hibbert, noting that the twins also play for the PHS boys’ soccer team.

“One of the best things they bring is that they work together very well, the know each other’s games so well.

They know what the other one is going to do. They have good communication, they can work through things and not get frustrated with each other. They are a good pairing; they are a righty-lefty duo, which is even better.”

Looking ahead to the Mercer Count y Tournament, which starts on April 29, Hibbert is confident that her players will keep grinding.

“It will be a challenge. We may not be first or second this year, but we are still towards the top,” said Hibbert, whose team tied for second in the 2018 MCT. “We are going to work as hard as we can to pick up as many points as we can and see what happens.”

STEPPING UP: Princeton High boys’ tennis player Simon Hwang displays his serving form. Senior Hwang has stepped into the first singles role for PHS this spring. The Tigers, now 4-2, host Hamilton West on April 24 and play at Trenton Central on April 25 before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament on April 29 at Mercer County Park.

Regan Making Impact for PHS Baseball As Tigers Look to Get on Winning Track

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 2019 • 42

Johnson Taking Helm of PDS Boys’ Tennis, Bringing Vast Experience, Focus on Teamwork Jennifer Johnson possesses a world of experience, literally, when it comes to the game of tennis.

Growing up in West Virginia, Johnson took up the game at an early age and went on to play Division I tennis at Penn State and Bradley University.

She served as a team captain and played No. 1 singles for Bradley as a senior in 1989.

She later coached the Wa y n e s b u r g U n i v e r s i t y women’s tennis team for six years from 1993-99 and was named as the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) coach of the year in 1994.

With her husband being transferred Europe for his work, Johnson ended up coaching in Zurich, Switzerland and London, England.

Coming to Princeton in 2016, Johnson started working with the Princeton Tennis Program (PTP). That connection led her to becoming the Princeton Day School middle school boys’ and girls’ tennis coach.

This spring, Johnson has moved into the role of head coach for the PDS boys’ varsity squad, taking over for Will Asch, who is on sabbatical.

While Johnson brings a wealth of knowledge of tennis to her role, she is more focused on key intangibles as she takes the helm.

“For a high school team, it is all about teaching teamwork, teaching attitude, and teaching sportsmanship,” said Johnson.

“Anybody who is on the varsit y team also works with someone privately. It is not my job to change their strokes, I can make stroke corrections and we can talk strategy. My job is to teach them how to play tennis as a team; they are used to just playing tournaments, which is very different.”

Her tenure as the middle school coach has eased the transition at the next level.

“Most of them are used to me so it has been very positive,” said Johnson.

“They know about my background, they know that I am no nonsense. I do like to have a good time. They want an interactive environment, doing something different, keeping that focus and making it fun.

When we do a drill, I discuss why we are doing the drill.”

The Panthers are developing a supportive environment. “They really are coming together as a team; they are cheering each other on,” said Johnson.

“If one player gets down, they are making sure they get him back up in a more positive frame of mind.”

Freshman Neel Adusmilli is showing good frame of mind, playing at first singles.

“Neel is very even keeled; it is always tough to play No. 1 because you are always playing strong players,” said Johnson.

“It is really hard to stay positive, but he just has this innate ability to bounce back.

He is just really strong mentally. He might get down on himself during a match, but then he comes off the court and he is able to kick it back into normal. He is more of a baseline guy, but if he sees the opportunity he comes into the net.”

Another freshman, Andrew Marshall, brings some fire to second singles.

“Andrew gets very emotional; I am working really hard on using that emotion as a positive,” said Johnson.

“You can use that energy one of two ways - you can fall apart because you are emotional because you get upset over a shot or you can use it to get fired up. He has made that turn. He had a tough first match; he wasn’t playing real well but he fought it out and won in the third set.

That made a big difference; he came back and won the next match really easily.”

Sophomore Aaron Phogat is showing a big game so far this spring. “Aaron is very verbal and likes to communicate; he is more of an aggres-

sive player,” said Johnson.

“He has the ability to just get into the zone; you just let him play. He is one of those players I don’t talk to when he is playing unless he wants me to.”

Sophomore Arron Chu and junior Eric Leung started off the season at first doubles.

“They have a great chemistry; they communicate so well,” said Johnson. “They hit hard, they force errors, they hit winners.”

Senior Shai Fruchter began the spring anchoring second doubles, but injuries have forced Johnson to shuffle her lineup.

Fruchter has played some first doubles with sophomore Will Sedgley, senior Jake Harris, sophomore Mark Santamaria, and freshman Albert Ming filling in at different spots over the last few weeks.

With the Mercer County Tournament starting on April 29, Johnson is confident that the Panthers can make an impact at the competition.

“I really think that there are certain kids on the team who can really do some damage at the upper levels,” said Johnson, whose squad is 2-2 in dual match play and hosts Peddie on April 24, plays at Haverford School (Pa.) on April 25 and then hosts Haddonfield on April 27.

“Our kids are in good shape, having fewer matches leading into it is helpful for us. It is going to be tough for Neel because No. 1 is so difficult. The fact that we have the some depth at No 2 and No. 3 works to our advantage.”

Sparked by Caputo’s Sizzling Finishing Touch, PDS Boys’ Lacrosse Primed for Postseason Run Having played seven of its first eight games on the road, the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team was excited to be at the friendly confines of Baker Field as it hosted the Hill School (Pa.) last Thursday.

Giving their fans something to cheer about early, the Panthers tallied three unanswered goals in the first 1:09 of the contest.

“We were hyped up to get a home game and we came out firing and ready to go,” said PDS junior attacker Cal Caputo.

In assessing the hot start, Caputo pointed to controlling the face-off as a key factor. “ Tr e v o r M a c k l e s , o u r freshman face-off guy, has been winning them all year,” said Caputo.

“He just won them and then we got quick offense.

When you score right away, the goalie was not seeing it so we were able to get a few in early.”

In the second quarter, Caputo displayed his scoring touch, tallying three straight goals for PDS as the Panthers built a 6-2 halftime lead.

“Once you stick a couple, you get some confidence,” said Caputo, who made slick behind-the-back moves on two of his goals.

“I started feeling myself so I kept shooting and they were going in. With coach Nate [Small] coming in, we have a new offense. and it has opened up the inside.”

Pulling away to a 9- 6 victory over Hill, the Panthers showed a balanced offense as junior Jake Bennett had two goals and an as s is t wh i le s ophom ore Drew McConaughy chipped in two goals, senior Jimmy O’Connor tallied a goal and two assists and senior Coby Auslander contributed one goal and one assist.

“Last year, we had Elon Tuckman, who was one of the best players in the area.

He was great but the ball is more balanced now,” said Caputo.

“When everyone is getting involved, it is tougher to cover up the inside and somebody is getting open in there. With that many guys, somebody is going to have a matchup somehow.”

In improving to 7-2, PDS had to hold off a late charge from Hill that saw it reel off a three-goal run to make it an 8 - 6 game half way through the fourth quarter.

“We have got a lot of heart and we are going to fight to the end of every game,” said Caputo.

“It got a lit tle chippy there ; we weren’t happy with some of the calls. We take that personally if someone is getting hit or there is a flag we don’t like. It motivates us to finish the game.”

Caputo’s f inishing has reached a new level this spring as he had scored six goals in each of the three previous games heading into the Hill game.

“It was a lot of offseason work, shooting, working out, and all of that,” said Caputo, reflecting on his progress.

“Wit h a small school, the team has been close every year, but we never had a team this close, we never has this chemistry. It is great; a lot that was because of our preseason trip to Florida. Everyone is looking for me, everyone knows their strengths.”

First-year PDS head coach Joe Moore was happy to see his team’s strong start against Hill.

“That is our approach to every game, get out early as fast as we can,” said Moore.

“We have Trevor at X and Gibby [Gibson Linnehan] has been picking up every single ground ball in the area. He has been really contributing to the offensive side of the ball.”

Caputo’s offensive contribution has been a big plus for the Panthers.

“Cal is feeling it right now, he is really putting it in the back of the net,” said Moore.

“A lot of stuff that he does looks fancy. But a lot of it is really smart plays, like increasing his angle with the behind the back shot. We encourage that and we have

him practice that stuff. He has been great for us, especially in the last few games.”

The PDS defense stepped up down the stretch in the win, snuffing out the Hill rally.

“Defensively on our mandown, we played with composure,” said Moore. “I was really proud of our third slide. We got that squared away which was the first time we have been able to do that. I thought they played their best game today.”

Moore sees depth and versatility as tow of the best things he is seeing from his squad.

“We have got a lot of people contributing on the field on both sides of the ball and between the lines with transition,” said Moore.

“I am really proud of the fact that we have a lot of players that aren’t specifically offensive middies or defensive middies, they can play on both sides of the ball. That was one of my goals going into the season, creating lacrosse players rather than offensive middies or defensive middies who are specialist players.”

Having rebounded from early season defeats to Hun (13-5 on March 28 ) and L aw rencev ille (15 -12 on April 3), PDS is primed for a big postseason run.

“We are super close, adversity creates opportunities to be super close,” said Moore, whose team hosts Robbinsville on April 24, Pennington on April 25, and Notre Dame on April 27 and then starts play in the state Prep A tournament where it is seeded third and plays at second-seeded Lawrenceville in a semifinal contest on April 29.

“Those losses and having a new coach forces our kids to come together and bond.

They have a great job of doing that.”

Caputo, for his part, believes that unity has prompted the team’s recent surge which has seen the Panthers post five straight wins.

“At the start of the season, I don’t think we were all on the same page,” said Caputo.

“But now that we are on the same page, everything is starting to come together.

That is how we are finding success.”

HOT HAND: Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse player Cal Caputo heads upfield in a 2018 game. Last Thursday, junior attacker Caputo tallied three goals to help PDS defeat the Hill School (Pa.) 9-6.

Trevor Deubner set up shop behind the Peddie goal, quarterbacking the offense for the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team as it hosted the Falcons last week.

With the Hun junior attacker deftly passing into the crease to set up teammates and darting in front of goal to take shots when lanes opened up, the Raider attack clicked on all cylinders as the rolled to a 17-1 win in the April 16 contest.

“I am just trying to let the game come to me and not turn over the ball too much,” said Deubner, who ended up with three goals and four assists in the victory. “I try to make plays when they are there and not force it.”

Having started since his freshman year, Deubner is more savvy with the ball.

“I would say attack is 100 percent mental,” added Deubner, who has committed to attending the University of North Carolina and play for its high-powered men’s lacrosse program “I have tried to become a lot more mentally tough and make smarter decisions behind the net, knowing that

I have got my team and my coaches believing in me.”

It also helps Deubner knowing that he has such s tars as G rant Hans en, Devon Cowan, and Charles White to feed.

“I am blessed to have other players that I can pass to and they just elevate our team to another level,” said Deubner.

“We have all been playing together for a while. I have known Grant for eight years, he is my roommate. I have known Devon for six. I have known Charlie for five years.

I have known all of these kids since I have been young so it helps on the field.”

D eubner believes t hat Hun has the mindset to take things to a higher level this spring.

“In the off season we put in a lot of work and it is starting to show,” said Deubner.

“This is the first year where we were really believing in it and dialed in. This will be one of those years where we can definitely do something incredible. That is what I am looking forward to.”

Hu n he ad coach M.V.

Whitlow is seeing a special dedication from his players so far this spring.

“I am pleased the most with the culture, how the guys are practicing, focusing on every rep and every drill,” said Whitlow. “The leadership is starting to emerge and we have responded to a couple of big games.”

While the Peddie game was one-sided, the Raiders were able to hone things.

“You play up to your standards; it is working on spacing, communication,” said Whitlow, whose team came up big last Thursday as it rallied to pull out a 13-11 win at Montgomery in improving to 7-0.

“You work on timing. You use an opportunity to play against an opponent that is

building to get better. You respect the game, play the game, and take care of business.”

Hun has been getting a high standard of play from Deubner. “Trevor makes guys better off ball when the ball is in his stick,” said Whitlow.

“He is letting the game come to him a little bit more; he is seeing things a little bit more clearly and that comes with experience. He has been starting for us since freshman year, so this will be his third year as a starter.

He is showing more maturity now which is nice to see. He is a very talented player.”

The squad’s defensive unit has been showing maturity.

“We have been working on communication a lot with emerging leadership from Gabe Craven as a goalie,” said Whitlow, whose team plays at Shawnee High on April 24 and then hosts national powerhouse IMG

Academy (Fla.) on April 26.

“He is not just making saves but running the defense. We have Jack Ruddy back there who is a natural leader. This is the time of year when guys really need to ramp up their leadership and communication and that is what we are seeing.”

Deubner, for his part, is confident that the Raiders will ramp things up as they head into the stretch drive of the season. “We just need to stay positive and stay motivating each other,” said Deubner. “We just really need try to be a team.”

eady to take a culinary tour through the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia?

You can tempt your taste buds with Le Bon Magot’s preserves, chutneys, condiments, spice blends, and more, all filled with the unique flavors and spice blends from these faraway places.

IT’S NEW To Us

Established in 2015, Le B on Magot is t he L aw renceville-based culinar y endeavor of Naomi Mobed.

Her unusual background has given her a singular insight into the development of this special company.

Born in Karachi, reared in Tehran, she lived in Hong Kong, and was educated in Princeton, Boston, and London. Working in New York, Paris, Dubai, Muscat, and Johannesburg, she wanted to share the myriad tastes and cultures of these diverse regions.

Call to Adventure “For as long as I can remember, food has given me a sense of belonging wherever I was in the world,” explains Mobed. “It was at once familiar and new; both a reminder of my history and a call to adventure.

“Wherever life’s journey took my family, we embraced local customs, quickly adopting and fusing them to our own culinary traditions.

“From the ritual of shar-

ing meals with friends and family emerges Le Bon Magot or ‘the hidden treasure’ in French. My mother, Mahrukh Mobed, is my partner in the company. Le Bon Magot is the culmination of my family’s culinary journey as we work to produce chutneys, condiments, emulsions, pickled items, preserves, and spice blends, among others, inspired by our heritage and experiences in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.”

After a successful career in finance, Mobed decided to turn her attention to this uncharted field of endeavor. It was time for a new adventure.

“I had originally wanted to be in the culinary business,” she observes. “It was always my first love.”

Her unique background and culinary experiences have been crucial to Le Bon Magot’s success. “Our products are developed from heirloom recipes using natural ingredients, high-quality and seasonal produce, custom-blended aromatics, and no preservatives.

Made in the U.S. in small batches and created in the ritual tradition, the products rely on classical cookery methods and all-natural preservation techniques to create special flavors, which we hope will inspire cooks and diners on their own culinary journeys.”

Very Versatile This blend of old and new makes Le Bon Magot a singular entry in the gourmet and specialty food industry, she adds.

“Our products are very versatile, made with the finest fresh ingredients. They pair

well with cheeses, and I’ve used some of them as ingredients in a Linzer cookie and fruit and nut brownies.”

There are five different products, but 15 are actually available since they come in three sizes.

Currently offered are Tomato and White Sultana Chutney, White Pumpkin and Almond Murabba (preserves), Spiced Raisin Marmalata (marmalade), Lemon-Sultana Marmalata, and Brinjal Caponata.

Two additional flavors are in the works, reports Mobed.

“We are continuing to develop the product. We’re always tweaking and improving it.

“Tomato Chutney is the most popular. It’s a balance between sweet and savory with a little heat. This is a great sandwich spread, perfect with burgers, steaks, chicken and meaty fish.

Also, with roasted vegetables and soft goat and sheep’s milk cheese.

“Ingredients include tomato, sugar, apple cider vinegar, white sultanas, Kashmir chilies, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, cumin, garam masala, and sea salt.”

Unusual Dessert Also popular is the LemonSultana Marmalata with caraway and saffron. This is particularly good with goat and sheep’s milk cheese, pork, smoked chicken, and white fish, notes Mobed. “Drizzle it on cheesecake for an unusual dessert, and it can be used in classic bread pudding. Ingredients include golden sultanas, distilled white vinegar, verjus, sugar, lemons, crystallized honey, caraway, saffron, sea salt, and assorted spices.”

Le Bon Magot’s Special Line of Products Offers Unique Chutneys, Preserves, and More

PLEASURE FOR THE PALATE: “Our products are unique because of the quality of our ingredients and our attention to detail. As soon as customers taste them, they like our products right away.

They taste great!” Naomi Mobed, owner of Le Bon Magot, is shown with an array of her company’s special preserves, spice blends, condiments, pickled items, and chutneys.

White Pumpkin and Almond Murabba with cardamom and vanilla is a special offering, says Mobed. “Containing the world’s costliest spices, this Persian preserve is served as a treat. Pairings abound: in autumn, with game; for breakfast, with bagels, toast or yogurt; also, fold into palmiers, or drizzle warm over vanilla ice cream. Ingredients include Indian long gourd, sugar, almonds, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla, proprietary spice mix, and sea salt.”

Le Bon Magot has gotten off to an excellent start, she adds. It is currently available in stores in all 50 states, and in Princeton and the area its products can be found in Bon Appetit in the Princeton Shopping Center, Olsson’s Fine Foods in Palmer Square, and at Brick Farm Market in Hopewell.

“Princeton is a good match for Le Bon Magot because there is an international community here. We are introducing something new, and the customers here like to think about spices beyond the traditional blends in their own country, such as France or Italy. We chose a French name, Le Bon Magot, for our company because French is the common denominator in culinary language.

High Quality “We want to make sure that we grow steadily, at a stable pace, and become a pantry staple,” she continues. “We’re not a trendy product. We are high quality, and we offer classic tried and trusted flavors.”

Mobed is happy to report that Le Bon Magot has been honored by discriminating food critics, receiv-

ing gold, silver, and bronze Sofi Awards, and Good Food awards for best new products and best condiments.

“We are very encouraged by the response, and we will continue to provide the highest quality products. Customers appreciate the incredibly clean flavors and fresh ingredients, and, of course, they all have their favorites.

“As with any new experiment, every day brings a new challenge. There are production, distribution, and fulfillment considerations, but we are dealing with all of these, and we continue to add new stores. This is an exciting new adventure!”

Obituaries

Charles Barnwell “Barney” Straut, Jr. Charles Barnwell “Barney” Straut, Jr. passed away on Saturday afternoon, April 13th, 2019, at his home in Princeton, NJ, surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was 93. With boundless love of family and endless kindness to all, he made this world a better place. He was a joy to all who knew him.

Born August 29th, 1925 in Suffern, NY, Barney was the first child of Maida Roe Straut and Charles Barnwell Straut, Sr. Along with his younger sister, Maida “Tinker” Straut Moore of Ho-HoKus, NJ, Barney grew up first in Hillburn, NY, and then Mahwah, NJ, where he attended Ramapo Valley Day School and Ridgewood Junior High School. During his school days, he spent several formative summers at Camp D ud ley on L a ke Cha m plain in Westport, NY. He

then attended St. Andrews School in Middletown, DE, graduating in 1943. That summer, he entered Princeton University, age 17, and was drafted shortly thereafter on his 18th birthday into the Army Specialized Training Corps. He landed in Normandy in the fall of 1944 as part of the Army’s 100th Infantry Division and over time his 155 MM Howitzer Artillery unit moved across France, through the Siegfried Line and along the Moselle River. He participated in liberating forced labor camps along the Rhine River. After the war in the European Theater ended, he and his unit trained near Frankfurt in the summer of 1945 for the planned invasion of Japan. After the Pacific war ended, Barney returned to Princeton on the GI Bill in the fall of 1946 and in 1949 graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Psychology.

Barney started his banking career in 1951 with the NY Trust Company, first in Patterson, NJ, and then in New York City. By 1976, he was Chairman, President and cofounder of Horizon Bancorp after serving as President of Princeton Bank and Trust, where he had worked from 1965 to 1976. Along the way, he earned a Masters in Economics and taught Economics at Princeton University. He also worked for two years in economic development for the World Bank in Washington, DC, focusing on Venezuela. From 1976 to 1980, Barney was a Managing Director of the investment bank William Sword & Co. in Princeton, and then became Chairman of Hill-

side Capital, a New York City private equity firm he co-founded, from 1980 until his retirement in 1997. He was Chairman of Buffalo Color Corporation as well as Teepak Corporation.

Barney loved his schools and those of his wife, children, and grandchildren, and was generous to each of them. He was grateful to be able to endow the Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Chair in English at Princeton University in honor of his father, and the Roe/Straut Chair in the Humanities at Smith College in honor of his mother, aunt, wife, and sister, alumnae all.

Barney served as a trustee of Smith College, Planned Parenthood Association of the Mercer Area, Princeton Day School, and Princeton Medical Center. He served on the board of Nassau Nursery School in Princeton as well as on the Board of National Schools Committee for Economic Education. Later in life, Barney loved reading to elementary school children through the Grandpal program at the Princeton S enior Resource Center and enjoyed serving meals with Meals on Wheels with his son, Derek. He was a devoted member of the Trinity Church congregation in Pr inceton and a Rotar y member.

Barney met Barbara Sheldon Barry of Washington, DC at Smith College, when she w a s a n u n d e r g r a d u ate.

They married January 31st, 1953 at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. This past Januar y, they celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. In 1955, they moved to Princeton,

where t hey raised t heir four children and have lived ever since. Barney loved sports—particularly baseball, football, tennis, skiing, hiking, and fishing. He ran track and played football at Princeton. He was proud to have represented Princeton as a sprinter at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.

Barney also loved the mountains. With Barbara, in 1969 he led his family to Sun Valley, ID, where they continue to gather. Barney loved animals, music, theater, Shakespeare, and spy stories. He and Barbara have been patrons of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra and other community organizations for many years.

Barney is survived by his wife Barbara, their four children and their spouses (David Barnwell Straut and Maureen McMunigal Straut of Washington, DC, Derek Woodhull Straut of Princeton, Leslie Roe Straut Ward and Grant Murray Ward of Princeton, and Barbara Sheldon “Shelley” Straut Goldsmith and Graham Campbell Goldsmith of Darien CT), nine grandchildren (Charles Barnwell Straut II, Catherine Roe Straut, Rosemary Casey Straut, Walker Bar nwell Ward, Mason Murray Ward, Sophie Roe Ward, Campbell Youngs Goldsmith, Lily Oliver Goldsmith, and Marguerite “Margot” Graham Goldsmith), and Barney’s sister Maida Moore.

The entire Straut family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to Nancy and Tony Cifelli and the many caregivers who supported Barney in his later years, especially Majorie Chisholm and Monica Parsons. A me-

morial service will be held at Trinity Church in Princeton on Thursday, May 2nd at 11 a.m., followed by a reception at the Nassau Club.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider a gift to Trinity Church, Planned Parenthood, or Nassau Nursery School. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Kimble Funeral Home, Princeton, NJ.

MULTIPLE OFFERS With limited inventory and many buyers, we are finding there are multiple offer situations happening in and around town. There are different ways for a seller to negotiate multiple offers.

Just because a person is willing to pay the highest price, does not necessarily mean they are the “best offer” Things to consider…

They can accept the “best offer”.

They can make a counter offer to one party letting the parties know they are awaiting a decision.

They can ask for all buyers to put in there final and best offer at which time the owner will evaluate all of the terms and decide which is the best and most likely to make it to the closing table.

When you find that you are in this situation as a buyer, it is wise to go in with the strongest offer right from the start. This shows you are serious about getting the deal done.
