Rider Faculty Union Votes No Confidence in Leader, Opposes Westminster Sale Following a no-confidence vote against Rider University President Gregory Dell’Omo and his financial team, the University’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has sent a letter to the Board of Trustees stating its opposition to Rider’s March 28 decision to sell Westminster Choir College. “We urge the Board of Trustees to rescind this decision and to begin the long, hard task of rebuilding trust with all of Rider’s stakeholders,” said Professor Jeffrey Halpern, Rider AAUP’s chief negotiator, in the letter. “Its de-acquisition will not alter Rider’s financial position or improve its long term viability. Instead, it will surely lead to a loss of both reputation and endowment.” Mr. Dell’Omo announced last month that Rider is seeking a buyer for the Princeton-based choir college, which Rider has owned since 1992. The sale is designed to help address Rider’s projected $13 million deficit. The University had originally explored closing the Westminster campus and moving it to Rider’s Lawrenceville location, but abandoned that idea after strong protests from the Westminster community. An institution that purchases the college could either keep it at its longtime Walnut Avenue home, or move it to another location. The faculty members take issue with Mr. Dell’Omo’s future goals for Rider, which are to include new programs in science, engineering, and technology. “Any attempt to secure a windfall profit from the destruction of a unique worldclass institution in order to build new facilities is both morally bankrupt and unlikely to succeed,” said Professor Art Taylor, president of the chapter, in the letter. Mr. Taylor signed the letter along with Mr. Halpern and other members of the union’s executive board. Seventy-five percent of the Rider faculty voted no confidence in Mr. Dell’Omo and his team, citing as reasons cuts and layoffs of tenured faculty, and Mr. Dell’Omo’s “refusal to seriously negotiate with the faculty union,” in addition to the Westminster decision. This is the first time since the AAUP chapter was formed in 1973 that a no-confidence vote in the University president has been cast, Mr. Taylor said on Monday. Continued on Page 16

PHS Student Survey Reports High Stress

Princeton High School (PHS) students are experiencing high levels of stress, low levels of joyful engagement with learning, and serious sleep deprivation, according to a recent survey conducted by Stanford University researchers. Parents, teachers, and administrators gathered last Wednesday to review the results of the survey and to discuss the way forward in pursuit of the District’s quest for “wellness and balance.” Of the 1417 participants in last fall’s survey at PHS, 81 percent reported that they were often or always stressed by schoolwork, 47 percent reported that a stress-related health or emotional problem had caused them to miss more than one day of school, and 41 percent had experienced exhaustion, headaches, and difficulty sleeping in the past month. Students estimated spending an average of three to three and a half hours a night on homework and getting only six to six and a half hours of sleep each night, with 64 percent usually going to bed later than 11 p.m. The Stanford University Challenge Success survey measured students experiences with 12 different topics, including stress, academic engagement, perceptions of homework, extracurricular activities, parental expectations, sleep, aca-

demic integrity, and overall health and wellbeing. The 15 percent of students reporting “full engagement” in their school work claimed to often or always work hard, enjoy the work, and find it meaningful. Forty-one percent of the participants in the survey, however, reportedly “do school,” often or always working hard, but rarely if ever finding their schoolwork interesting, fun, or valuable. “Our students are working incredibly hard,” said PHS Principal Gary Snyder,

“but many of them are caught up in going through the motions; they are ‘doing school.’ they may find their work interesting, but they are not always motivated by a joy of learning for the sake of learning.” Mr. Snyder contrasted this with the 73 percent of students who reported participating in after-school, extracurricular activities — sports, community service, clubs, performing arts, religious organizations, and others — primarily because Continued on Page 12

Council Puts Off Parking Ordinance After Hearing Residents’ Concerns Following repeated protests voiced by residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood at a meeting of Princeton Council Monday night, the governing body agreed to hold off on an ordinance concerning overnight parking and permits. The ordinance is part of an effort to harmonize regulations of the former Borough and Township. Residents of areas in the old Township section — on Birch Avenue, Leigh Avenue, Race, and John Streets — would be required to begin paying $120 a year for overnight on-street parking permits (a concession would be made for low income residents who qual-

ify for certain programs). They would also follow the former Borough’s regulations regarding the number of permits available to households. “You’ve unified Princeton but the neighborhoods are not uniform,” said Leigh Avenue resident Cheryl Whitney, among those who felt the proposed regulations were unfair. “You really need to do more work if you want the harmonization to work.” “Go back to the drawing board,” one member of the public shouted. “Don’t talk down to us,” called out another.

Princeton Council Takes Another Step Toward Ending Influence of “Dark Money”

To the Editor: On Monday March 13, The Princeton Town Council took another step toward ending the corrupting influence of dark money in our political system. Their first step occurred in July, 2014, when it approved the Princeton AntiCorruption Resolution, with one of its provisions being the increase of transparency in campaign contributions at the state and national levels. On Monday, it approved a resolution to send letters to members of the 16th district of the New Jersey State Legislature, asking them to support three bipartisan New Jersey Assembly bills, registered as A-3902, A-3903, and A-3639. These bills improve New Jersey’s campaign finance laws by requiring disclosure by independent groups, reforming the state’s pay-to-play laws, and bolstering political parties. They are currently sitting in committee. The Represent.Us Central N.J. Chapter advocated for both of these resolutions. The prime focus for the non-

partisan, grassroots national organization of Represent. Us is ending the corrupting influence of special interest and dark money on our political system. It is doing this through a nationwide campaign based in chapters all over the country that have passed local anti-corruption resolutions in order to send a message to their elected officials that their constituents want a government that is truly of, by, and for the people — all of the people, not only the wealthy elite. The state of New Jersey would be taking a step in that direction by passing these campaign finance reform bills. The Represent.Us Central N.J. Chapter asks that you phone your legislators and urge them to support this package of bills by adding their names as Co-Sponsors and by telling their leaders in the N.J. Senate and Assembly to move the bills out of committee and to a vote. SUSAN COLby Herrontown Circle

We Owe It to Our Children to Find A Way to End the “Race to Nowhere”

To The Editor: Last week, the Princeton High School administration presented data from the Stanford Survey of Adolescent School Experiences Report: students at PHS are chronically sleep-deprived, often or always feeling stress, have less than an hour a day of free time, rarely find school fun or interesting, cheat, and miss school due to stress-related health problems …. Full report: http://phs.princetonk12. org/School_News/S05b24362-05b2437A.0/PHS%20 Challenge%20Success%20Survey%202016-2017.pdf. The data are in conflict with the school system’s mission: “to prepare all of our students to lead lives of joy and purpose as knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate citizens of a global society.” Parents of younger children, as well as PHS parents and students are invited to join the Facebook group PRINCETON bALANCE www.facebook.com/groups/158521260838289 to promote authentic excellence and balance in our schools and our homes. In this community, we have so many excellent advantages and resources. We owe it to our children to end the Race to Nowhere and preserve their well-being so they can truly thrive.

Results of PHS Challenge Success Survey While Not Surprising Are Deeply Concerning

To the Editor: Last Wednesday evening I attended a meeting at PHS to discuss the results of the Challenge Success Survey conducted at the high school last December. Close to 90 percent of students completed the survey, so the district now has an excellent, unbiased source on which to base policy decisions. The results of the survey may fail to surprise, but they are deeply concerning. I was personally shocked to learn that 47 percent of students reported that a stress-related health or emotional problem caused them to miss more than one day of school in the month prior to the survey. For those students, that must amount to about 10 percent of instructional time. I was deeply saddened to learn that 48 percent of students rarely or never find their schoolwork interesting, fun, or valuable. I’m very concerned that on average, students get about 6.25 hours of sleep, 2.75 less than the recommended amount for adolescents.

RANDOM ACTS OF COMMUNITY: Rewarding Biking in Princeton RANDOM ACTS OF COMMUNITY IS A PROJECT OF THE WHOLE EARTH CENTER

The survey also contained a clear message from students on what they believe would help improve the student experience and reduce stress. The strongest response favored students having more time to work on projects and homework in school, followed closely by a desire for a change in how homework is assigned. Through the results, I heard a loud request from students to direct more of their own learning and structure on their own time. The meeting included a lively discussion among parents that showed a wide variety of reactions to the data. Some commented that many of the results are typical of high performing American high schools and seemed relatively unconcerned. Others pointed out that stress is a major part of adult life and that our children must learn to manage it. Still others clearly showed anxiety that the school might respond by curtailing the extent of the opportunities offered to our students. Some parents clearly felt that the results of the study pointed to a mental health crisis within the school. I applaud the district for investing in gathering this data and for sharing it openly. It is clear to me that in our diverse community the school district will not be able to satisfy the priorities of all parents. I hope that Princeton Public Schools will have the courage to act on the clear data that the students have delivered. I would like to hear the school district clearly define how it views success for our students — beyond the pursuit of high scores and competitive college placements — and implement evidence-based changes in practice that will deliver that success.

Friends of Herrontown Woods Asking Support To Prevent Demolition of Veblen House, Cottage

To the Editor: We the undersigned (a list of 72 names was included) are calling on Mercer County and Princeton to avert a great tragedy. The Veblen house and the Veblen cottage — two buildings of national historic merit — are being considered for demolition in eastern Princeton’s first and finest nature preserve, Herrontown Woods. Four years ago, when local governments and all other environmental nonprofits were putting their priorities elsewhere, the Friends of Herrontown Woods (FOHW) organized to clear the long-blocked trails of Herrontown Woods and Autumn Hill Reservation, to make these 210 acres of open space once again accessible to the public. FOHW has been maintaining and improving the trails and habitat ever since, leading nature walks and workdays, partnering with nearby schools, and researching the fascinating history of those who lived in the house and cottage. FOHW has proven that, given a green light, its volunteers can work wonders on a shoestring, and it now seeks the green light to begin repairs of the Veblen house and cottage. The two structures — one a 1920s prefab with extraordinary custom interior woodwork, the other an 1875 farmhouse that speaks to a simpler era — are unique in Princeton. Together, they tell a story that stretches from dirt-poor farmers to Manhattan’s high society, from America’s first pilgrims to America’s first computers. both were purchased and lived in by the famous mathematician and visionary, Oswald Veblen, without whom Princeton would lack the Institute for Advanced Study, a world-class mathematics department, Albert Einstein’s long residency, and the 700 acres of protected land at the Institute Woods and Herrontown Woods. Veblen and his wife Elizabeth donated their house in 1974 to be utilized as a museum and library. For decades, however, the Veblen house and cottage have been in limbo. Their owner, Mercer County, has long been pessimistic as to their condition and the cost of repair. There has also been a lack of appreciation for the importance of buildings in creating a sense of place on our public lands. Examples abound in western Princeton. Mountain Lakes House, the Johnson Education Center, Clark House, Updike Farm — all create a gathering place surrounded by wonderful open space. The Veblen house and cottage, in better condition than appearances suggest, are eastern Princeton’s only chance for a similar synergy of nature and culture. FOHW’s renovation of Herrontown Woods has been the story of The Little Nonprofit That Could. Where big budgets balked, a mix of can-do spirit, skill, and sweat equity have succeeded. Other local examples — Montgomery’s 1860 House, and the bridges in Mountain Lakes — testify to how the paralyzing concerns over cost and liability can be overcome by allowing skilled and resourceful volunteers to do much of the work. Two months ago, FOHW presented a detailed proposal to Mercer County to acquire and repair the Veblen buildings through its own sweat equity and fundraising. After four years of devoted service to town and county, the Little Nonprofit That Could deserves a chance to save the cultural soul of Herrontown Woods. With so many houses falling all around us, and even the livability of our planet being steadily sacrificed with each passing day, it’s time to support an organization that is hard-wired to restore, protect, and utilize an irreplaceable cultural legacy.

The name of former Universit y President Harold Dodds will be transferred from the auditorium to the adjacent atrium that serves as the entryway into Robertson Hall at the Woodrow Wilson School. Toni Morrison, who in 1993 became the first African American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, taught courses at Princeton in the humanities and African American Studies, then joined the creative writing program. She played a “catalytic role,” accord i ng to t h e Princeton office of communications, in expanding Princeton’s commitments both to the creative and performing arts and to African American studies. In 1994 she founded the Princeton Atelier, bringing together undergraduate students in interdisciplinary collaborations with acclaimed artists and performers. In a 2016 announcement t hat Ms. Mor r ison’s papers would be permanently housed at the Princeton University Library, Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber said, “Toni Morrison’s place among the giants of American literature is firmly entrenched …. We at Princeton are fortunate t hat Professor Mor r ison

Arthur Lewis Community College in St. Lucia is named in his honor. Expressing his gratitude to the Naming Committee, Mr. Eisgruber said, “By taking these steps we begin to recognize more completely the extraordinary range of individuals and groups that have made the University what it is today, and to inscribe upon the fabric of our campus a fuller account not only of Princeton’s history, but also of the commitments to both excellence and inclusivity that must guide our aspirations for the future.” —Donald Gilpin

a more diverse presence to the campus.” Following a 2015 sit-in at Nassau Hall and demands t hat t he s chool remove Woodrow Wilson’s name from buildings and programs because of his racist views, the University trustees eventually decided not to change the names of the School of Public and International Affairs and the residential college named for Woodrow Wilson but instead to undertake a number of measures to increase inclusion and diversity on campus, including the creation of the Council of the Princeton University Community Committee on Naming. The committee made its r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s a f te r seeking suggestions from the University community, with more than 210 people

Mr. Lewis’s Nobel Prize recognized his pioneering research into economic development, with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries. In making its recommendation, the Naming Committee cited the international scope of his research, stating, “It is important to have that message — along with a message about diversity and inclusion — associated with Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs.” Mr. Lewis served as economic adviser to the government of Ghana when it gained independence in 1957; the first West Indianborn principal then vice

The new names, which will go into effect on July 1, were approved by the University trustees last week based on recommendations made by a committee of faculty, students, staff, and alumni that was established in the fall of 2016 to advise the trustees on the naming of “buildings or other spaces to recognize individuals who would bring

All proceeds from the sale of each pint (minus the price of the reusable containers) are donated to the Cooperative.

of personal enjoyment, not resume building. “One of our challenges,” Mr. Snyder said, “is to get the passion and motivation for mastery our students exper ience with their after school activities into the regular school day.” Princeton Public School Superintendent Steve Cochrane said that a plan for proposed changes will be presented in June, with PHS piloting it throughout the coming school year and making systematic adjustments by the start of the 2018-19 school year. He added that parents, students, teachers, and the broader community will need to work together “to build a culture where students can have space to breathe, to try new things,

to fail, to succeed, and to have a definition of success that revolves around joy and purpose.” Mr. Cochrane pointed out that “academic stress and struggles with depression are at an all-time high nationally for both high school and college students. The goal we all share is to increase wellness while deepening learning.” Noting the need for major innovative change, Mr. Snyder stated that he and a committee of administrators, faculty, and a few parents have already been exploring possibilities for alterations to the curriculum, assessments, and use of the physical space at PHS, as well as adjustments in the school schedule and opportunities for more problem -based learning, greater student choice, and more interdisci-

plinary experiences. Emphasizing both the urgency of the situation and the need for caution, the eagerness for change and the fear of change, Mr. Snyder said, “This is important and we need to do it well and we need to do it soon. But we need to be careful not to do it in such a way that we rush in and stumble into things. We need to get it right.” Among the most positive results on the Stanford survey was the 68 percent of students reporting that they had at least one adult in the school, mainly counselors and teachers, they could go to if they had problems. Teachers have already begun having conversations with their students about the sur vey results, w ith some teachers experimenting with using class time for homework and adjusting and improving assignments accordingly. The District will continue its analysis of the survey results as it works to reshape student experiences. Parents are invited to review the results, which can be found on the PPS website, along with the opportunity to submit thoughts and suggestions online. As this year’s college admissions competition winds dow n, Princeton High School remains one of the most highly ranked schools in the state, but alarm bells from parents and others in the community continue to sound. “Bold leadership is needed to put the brakes on our academic arms race,” wrote local resident Carol Tate in the Town Topics Mailbox last week. “We need school administrators to act quickly to make long overdue changes to the school schedule and the school culture.” Accord i ng to Mr. C o chrane, the goals of increasing wellness and deepening learning are interwoven, not mutually exclusive. “Students do not learn well when they are under stress,” he said. “None of us do. Students learn best when they connect personally with the material they are studying, when they are appropriately challenged to apply their learning, and when they have time to reflect on what they have learned.” —Donald Gilpin

Parking Ordinance continued from page one

The town recently launched a study to look at several issues related to parking, hiring Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates of Boston to lead the effort. The transportation firm held an open house last week and is seeking feedback from residents.

Clarifying the focus of the study after some at the public hearing suggested that downtown merchants were being favored over residents, municipal engineer Deanna Stockton explained that it is being funded by a federal grant focused on how to maintain and boost the economic vitality of the town.

O n e r e s i d e nt of P i n e Street, in the “tree streets” neighborhood where parking is also an issue, said he worries what will happen if his grown children move home with their cars. During a recent visit, his son had to park in the Spring Street garage overnight and pay $23, he said. A not h er re s ide nt who

lives on the former Township side of Leigh Avenue commented, “Every person in the neighborhood is vehemently opposed” to the ordinance. “We are not downtown Princeton. We never would have bought in this neighborhood if we thought we could only have one car. There are tons of parking spots on the street. The ordinance is creating a huge problem for people with small children and the elderly.” Most Council members said it would be best to wait until the parking study is completed before a decision on the ordinance is made. But Councilwoman Heather Howard commented that the governing body needs to acknowledge that the study might not answer all of the questions being addressed, and that harmonization of the ordinances might not work. “It will not be a failure if we do not harmonize and do not change,” she said. Councilman Tim Quinn expressed similar sentiments, commenting that coming growth of the town and more affordable housing units will change things. “I would support putting this off and looking at areas of density, where houses predated the widespread use of automobiles, and try to come up with something that works,” he said. “I think the time is right for rethinking the whole thing.” Mayor Liz Lempert ended the discussion by saying, “This conversation will be contInued. I think it was clear tonight that the neighbors obviously have a lot to say, and a lot of positive input that can be put into getting a solution that’s going to work for everybody.” —Anne Levin

HOW THE LENNI LENAPE PREPARED FOR SPRING: On Wednesday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m., the Kingston Greenways Association will welcome Jim Wade, former archivist and researcher at the New Jersey State Museum.

Jenny McPhee Reading On Campus April 27

Novelist and translator Jenny McPhee will be reading from her recent translation of Natalia Ginzburg’s Lessico Famigliare (A Family Lexicon), on Thursday, April 27 at 4:30 p.m. in Room 219 in Aaron Burr Hall on the Princeton University campus. Presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing, the Department of Comparative Literature, and the Humanities Council, this event is free and open to the public. Lessico Famigliare, or A Family Lexicon, was published in 1963 and paints a portrait of the anti-fascist Levi family and their routines, eccentricities, and traditions. Set in Italy during Mussolini’s dictatorship, it is based on author Natalia Ginzburg’s own family. Jenny McPhee is a writer and translator from New Jersey. Her debut novel, The Center of Things, was a New

Rider Faculty Union continued from page one

Celebrating Excellence In Education John Witherspoon Students Get a Jump Start with Mandarin Each morning at 7:45 a.m., Monday through Friday, 46 students gather in two classrooms at John Witherspoon Middle School to study Mandarin for 45 minutes before the school day officially starts, during the “zero”’ period. In addition to studying either French or Spanish during the school day, these students have taken advantage of the opportunity to also learn Mandarin. “It’s quite rare for middle school students to be able to take two foreign languages simultaneously,” stated Priscilla Russel, District Supervisor of World Languages, ESL/Bilingual, and Dual Language Immersion. “The chance to learn both Mandarin and a romance language opens so many doors to our students, especially if they continue taking both languages in high school.” The early morning Mandarin class has been offered to students at John Witherspoon for six years. The class’s first cohort will be graduating from Princeton High School in June, and with the head-start they received by beginning in middle school, many have flourished in the high school’s Mandarin program. “I wouldn’t be in AP Mandarin now without having started in middle school,” said PHS senior Jake White, a member of this first cohort. Jake commented that he had always wanted to learn Mandarin and had even bought a Rosetta Stone program to learn the language on his own in sixth grade. He still remembers his excitement the day he found out the middle school would begin offering Mandarin. “It was cool to experience the culture at such a young age,” he shared. “We got to choose our own name in Mandarin and in class with with Tsui laoshi we sang a lot of songs to help us learn the language.” Jake’s parents were supportive of his desire to take Mandarin, even though it meant having to drive him to school early each day to make sure he was there in time for the class. Despite being held before school, many students are deeply committed to the class and have found the early start to the school day to be beneficial.

“It’s a strong statement from the faculty. The last time I spoke to the faculty as a group, I said I had concerns that he [Mr. Dell’Omo] had instituted a series of rash actions and will continue unless we do something. This is a step in that direction.” The decision to sell Westminster “would involve a significant loss of reputation (or diminished brand) for Rider, as well as a significant negative financial impact,” the statement to the Board of Trustees reads. “In 2017, President Dell’Omo has admitted that Westminster isn’t a major drain on Rider’s overall finances. So why was the decision to sell it made? What are these strategic goals? Who established these goals?” T he s tatement on t he no - confidence vote cites program cuts and layoffs instituted by Mr. Dell’Omo soon after he took office in 2015, specifically “a decade of dubious financial management [that has] compelled Rider’s faculty to pass this motion.” The A AUP was hoping to have more faculty input in planning t he University’s future. “The actions of President Dell’Omo, the vice-president of finance Julie Karns, and others are making what we believe are incorrect assumptions about the future,” Mr. Taylor said Monday. “We take issue with that.” T h e A AU P repre s e nt s nearly 500 of Rider’s fulland-part-time faculty, librarians, coaches, and athletic

trainers. In announcing the no-confidence vote on April 19, t he A AUP members asked Mr. Dell’Omo to take the actions necessary to regain the faculty’s support. “We believe the president can begin this process by reaching out to faculty,” Mr. Taylor said. “We hope he will continue our longstanding tradition of a truly collaborative and inclusive approach to running the University, something we have found serves our students best.” The letter to the Board opposing the decision to sell Westminster goes further, urging them to reconsider the action. “For its part the AAUP will use all the means at its disposal to reverse this ill-considered decision,” Mr. Halpern said. “We are aware of the open letter sent to the Board of Trustees by Rider’s AAUP Executive Committee. We firmly believe that Westminster’s legacy can best be achieved by identifying an institution that is better positioned to make the necessary investments,” said Rider spokesperson Kristine Brown in an email. “It remains our highest priority to find an institution willing to acquire Westminster and keep it at its current location. We are confident that our decision will help preserve and enhance both Westminster and Rider University as a whole. We have and will continue to work with faculty, along with the entire Rider community, to position the University for future success.” —Anne Levin

“Having a class before school helped me to get motivated for the rest of my day,” said Charles Griebell, a junior at PHS who started Mandarin as a 7th grader. “It set the tone for a positive day.” Weefen Tsui and Victoria Shen, who teach the 7th and 8th grade Mandarin classes, immerse the students in the language by speaking only in Mandarin from day one and asking the students to try to do the same. The course, like all world language courses in Princeton Public Schools, places a strong emphasis on speaking and communicating in the language. The students participate in a variety of activities to develop proficiency in Mandarin. For instance, every day, students in Mandarin classes participate in an activity called Bicycle Chain where the students rotate through partners, conversing in Mandarin for a set amount of time with their partner on the chain. Each day the class tries to talk for a longer period. With the support of a grant from the Princeton Education Foundation (PEF), Tsui laoshi and Shen laoshi partnered with Claudia Luongo, the art teacher at John Witherspoon, to create shadow puppets and a puppet stage that give students a creative and engaging way to practice their language skills. In addition, each morning, a student leader, called the banzhang, is selected to start the class by greeting fellow students with a bow – a traditional greeting in Chinese culture – and then leading the class in a basic conversation, asking questions and responding much like a teacher would. This routine helps students not only practice their Mandarin speaking skills, but also helps them develop confidence and leadership skills. The students also practice reading and writing in Mandarin, and learn about Chinese culture. “Mandarin was one of my favorite classes,” said Charles. “Shen laoshi was patient and supportive, and she informed us about culture in China.” Students may enroll in the Mandarin program at John Witherspoon starting in 7th grade. They and their parents are asked to make a two-year commitment to the class, and by completing the course in both 7th and 8th grade, they are eligible to enter Mandarin II as a freshman at Princeton High School. The opportunity to take the before-school class is particularly beneficial for students in Special Education classes who may not have space in their schedule to take a foreign language during the school day.

Celebrate National Women’s Health Week with Women's Healthcare of Princeton! Please join us for an Open House on Tuesday, May 16th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This National Women's Health Week, we want to celebrate YOU! Take this chance to talk with our providers on health topics of interest including: o o o o

Painful or heavy periods Preparing your teen for college Painful intercourse Endometriosis and pelvic pain

Learn about the MonaLisa Touch procedure—a revolutionary laser used to help women who suffer from symptoms associated with menopause.

As students progress into high school Mandarin classes, they have the opportunity to travel to China as part of the Princeton – Qingdao exchange program. Charles said that until he went on that trip, he had not realized how much he had truly learned over the years.

Enjoy demos of aesthetic services including laser hair removal, spider vein therapy, and skin rejuvenation.

“Before I left, I was insecure about my Mandarin abilities,” he said. “And when I got to China, I realized that I could actually speak with people there.”

Participate in a raffle for a free spa service from our new spa partner Metropolis, and for a free health coaching session.

Charles says he wants to have a career that involves agriculture and which also uses his knowledge of Mandarin. Jake, too, wants to continue studying the language and plans to take Mandarin classes in college. With the growth of China as an international economic and political power, proficiency with Mandarin will be a lifelong asset for Princeton students, whether they work for an international company, travel to China as tourists, or continue to engage with the country’s vast culture of music, art, history, and literature.

Light refreshments will be served. Please call the office at 609-430-1900 to RSVP for this fun event! We look forward to seeing you here.

Investigations continue into the case of anti-Semitic, racist, and anti-immigrant flyers found on the Princeton University campus last Thursday, April 20. Taped to a door at Stanhope Hall, to the main entrance of the Center for Jewish Life, to

a Murray Dodge door, and in East Pyne Hall, the flyers were similar to those recently reported at other universities. They were found and removed after a caller alerted the University Department of Public Safety that

someone was seen taping up one of the flyers. The caller described the person as wearing a ski mask and dark clothing. The flyers listed the URL and phone number for a white nationalist organization. In a statement sent to members of the University community, Vice Provost for institutional Equity and Diversity Michele Minter wrote, “Princeton is committed to protecting and promoting free expression, but it regards actions that are threatening or harassing based on identity as serious offenses. These flyers were contrary to the values of the University, which seeks to create and maintain an environment free from discrimination and harassment. Princeton attaches great importance to mutual respect, and we deplore expressions of hatred directed against any individual or group.” Public Safety is investigating the case as a bias incident and is conferring with other law enforcement agencies in an attempt to determine who is responsible. Anyone who finds such flyers on campus or has information about the case is asked to report them to Public Safety at (609) 658-1000 or the University Hotline at (866) 478-9804.

D & R G r e e n w ay L a n d Tr u s t pr e s e nt s Ete r nal Beauty, Perpetual Green: Preserves through the Seasons at the Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place in Princeton until June 16, with a reception on Friday, April 28 from 5:30–7:30 p.m.; light refreshments will be served. RSVP by (609) 924-4646 or rsvp@drgreenway.org. The artists in this exhibit celebrate the beauty of preservation with many works depicting D&R Greenway preserves throughout the year. Also on view in the Olivia Rainbow Gallery is Eden/ Habitat: Celebrating April as Autism Awareness Month. In this exhibit, Eden Autism Services students share creative views of their campus, through May 12. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, visit www.drgreenway.org. “For some things there are no wrong seasons,” wrote the poet Mary Oliver. “Which is what I dream of for me.” Throughout all the seasons, these seven artists have taken paint and brush, preserving dreamlike landscapes on canvas as D&R Greenway saves land for life. “The detail of the work in this exhibit evokes art not just as the memory or documentation of beautiful preserves, but as a process that forms memories and captures feelings,” says Curator Diana Moore. “Vivid and complex, the appreciation of nature is felt in every brush stroke.” Bob Barish is a board member of Artsbridge, the art association located in Stockton, and serves as coordinator for the River Rats Plein Air Painting Group, where he selects a weekly painting location in the surrounding Delaware Valley area, including D&R Greenway preserves. Agnes Denes is a world-renowned conceptual artist and a pioneer of ecological art with a focus on science and art. Her work on view at D&R Greenway is a signed archival print of a digital rendering of the original design drawing for one of her boldest public ecological artworks, “Tree Mountain — A Living Time Capsule — 11,000 Trees, 11,000 People, 400 Years,” 1992-1996, in Ylöjärvi, Finland. Lora Durr’s Chester County landscapes show the many shades of green in spring, the intensity of nature’s colors in summer, autumn in a meadow under a blue sky, the starkness of a winter day, as well as goats in the landscape. Lucy Kalian, along with woodturner Bruce Perlmutter and sculptor Stella Ryan, have created a collection of images that become “witnesses,” all done on D&R preserves over a year. “Creating a work of art is an exploration,” Kalian says. “It may begin as a passing thought or observation that encourages deeper investigation. It may be an unraveling of an internal or peripheral knot. Always, a story unfolds.” Sometimes the story is left on a tree after visitation from woodpeckers and the insects they hunger after; her stories route us through the Sourland Mountains, down a winding path at St. Michaels Farm Preserve. Mary M. Michaels, often sighted at D&R Greenway events, creates small-scale landscape paintings in pas-

Speaking of the exhibit, D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead says, “Art and land create a natural partnership. Having just returned from Italy, where the landscape inspired Renaissance painters, I have grown an even greater appreciation for the legacy of this art that immortalizes the places that D&R Greenway has protected. “Through art,” Mead continues, “decades from now people will continue to experience these landscapes on the canvas, and be inspired to visit these lands that have been preser ved forevermore.” ———

2017 Mercer County Teen Arts Festival Coming in May

Hundreds of teenage artists and performers will experience the 2017 Mercer County Teen Arts Festival on Friday, May 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The festival provides high school and middle school students from the County’s public, private, and parochial schools an opportunity for a day of full arts immersion at the West Windsor campus of Mercer County Community College. “Mercer County has many remarkably talented young people, and the Teen Arts Festival gives them an opportunity to display their work to a wide audience and get positive feedback from professionals in the art world,” said Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes. The day is filled with master classes, workshops, and hands-on art-making activities. Through these sessions, teens have the opportunity to make new friends and network with their peers, learn new artistic skills, enhance skills they already have, and become better prepared for their future. Sessions are offered across artistic disciplines. Among the many offerings are: plein air painting, ceramics, and portfolio review for those engaged in visual arts; perform-

ing arts students can explore music improv, modern dance, or rock vocals; and students with literary ideas can work on creative storytelling and publishing workshops. Critique sessions are also a key aspect of the day. Experts and teachers in each arts field offer students constructive feedback on their work and performances to help advance students’ understanding of their work, provide suggestions for future exploration in their field, and even offer guidance for their future academic and career endeavors. These critiques go beyond a simple statement of an artwork being “great,” and truly offer opportunity for the students to see their work in a new light. The adjudicators further evaluate all art and performances presented for critique, and a select group of students are offered a special opportunity to present their work at the State Teen Arts Festival, which takes place May 31 through June 2 at Ocean County Community College in Toms River. The Mercer County Teen Arts Festival is presented by the Mercer County Division of Culture and Heritage. The Division is excited to introduce a new Teen Arts Festival Coordinator, Marisa N. Benson, for the 2017 event. Ms. Benson is a Ewing-based arts consultant with experience in community arts and festival programming. She has worked on large multi-arts festivals and events in Trenton, Camden, and Orange, with a specific expertise in arts programming for youth, family, and community audiences. Questions about the Mercer County Teen Arts Festival or other Division of Culture and Heritage programs may be directed to teenarts@mercercounty.org or (609) 2782712.

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

or its annual concert commemorating founder and long-time conductor Walter L. Nollner, the Princeton University Glee Club reached high into the professional choral arena to lead the ensemble’s closing performance of the season. British conductor and composer James Burton, recently appointed choral director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and conductor of the orchestra’s resident Tanglewood Festival Chorus, led the Glee Club on Sunday afternoon in Richardson Auditorium in a concert featuring works of Francis Poulenc and Ralph Vaughan Williams, an opportunity made possible by the spring sabbatical of University Director of Choral Activities Gabriel Crouch. While Mr. Crouch has been on sabbatical, the Glee Club has been ably directed by Renata Berlin, assistant director of choirs at the University and conductor of the William Trego Singers. Sunday afternoon’s performance showed the strength of the Glee Club as an organization and its consistent quality under different conductors. Mr. Burton has a background that crosses all genres of music (including as arranger for Arlo Guthrie) and opened Sunday’s performance with a little-known piece showcasing the Nassau Sinfonia, the accompanying orchestra for the Poulenc and Vaughan Williams works. The life of English composer George Butterworth was cut short by World War I, but in the early decades of the 20th century, Butterworth was considered one of the most promising composers of his generation. Like his contemporaries in Britain, Butterworth had an interest in folk music, and collected tunes, specifically from the Sussex region. Butterworth fused two of these tunes — “The Banks of Green Willow” and “Green Bushes” — into what he termed an orchestral “idyll” for chamber orchestra. Under Mr. Burton’s leadership, the Nassau Sinfonia began Butterworth’s 1913 one-movement The Banks of Green Willow with a chipper melody on solo clarinet (played by Pascal Archer) which evoked the English countryside. Mr. Burton led the Sinfonia with clear and broad conducting strokes, bringing out the breeziness of the music and allowing instrumental soloists to play freely. Orchestration of solo flute accompanied by harp was especially charming, given what was to come in the year following this piece’s composition in Europe. Butterworth’s orchestral “idyll” was linked to the closing work on the program, Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, through the close friendship of the two composers. Although there was no direct connection between Butterworth and Francis Poulenc, the French composer’s Stabat Mater had much of the same poignancy and emotional power

as The Banks of Green Willow. Poulenc composed Stabat Mater as a memorial to a friend, choosing the medieval text over the traditional Requiem mass. In 12 sections of contrasting instrumentations and styles, Poulenc’s work gave chorus, orchestra, and soloist opportunities to take the audience on a journey through impassioned musical performances. Mr. Burton began Stabat Mater darkly and methodically, as the basses of the Glee Club sang the text ominously. The women’s choral sections were consistently clean, with the sopranos singing with an especially haunting non-vibrato sound. Throughout the work, Mr. Burton built the dynamics well, keeping a lid on the drama until the last possible moment. Joining the Glee Club was soprano soloist Jennifer Zetlan, a musician whose background also crosses a number of genres. As Johannes Brahms did in his Deutsches Requiem a century before, Poulenc used the solo soprano sparingly in Stabat Mater, often to re-emphasize the text with dramatic effect. It was the sixth movement before the soprano soloist appears, and Ms. Zetlan immediately showed herself to be a strong and selfassured singer. She sang the plaintive text repeatedly against forceful upper winds and was answered by the chorus, handling well the wide range of the solo vocal line. The a cappella sections of this work were crisply sung by the chorus, and the members of the Glee Club had no trouble shifting to a more lyrical collective sound when necessary. r. Burton saved the most intense work for last in Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, composed in 1936 as a reflection on World War I and in fear of the impending world war to come. Vaughan Williams drew the secular text for this work from American poet Walt Whitman, many of whose poems were descriptions of the Civil War. Ms. Zetlan opened the work with the chorus, singing with as impassioned a vocal tone as in the Poulenc. Ms. Zetlan was joined as soloist by baritone Anthony Clark Evans, an upand-coming singer who until a few years ago spent his days convincing people to buy cars, rather than become lost in opera story lines. In the closing section particularly, Mr. Evans showed he can tell a story well, conveying the Bible verses Vaughan Williams set to convince his audiences to stave off the war he was convinced was coming. Mr. Evans possessed a solid operatic voice, at times elegantly accompanied by oboist Kemp Jernigan. Well-blended brass sections in the orchestra added to the militaristic impact of the work, as the Glee Club effectively brought the piece — and for the seniors in the chorus, their college years — to a joyful close. —Nancy Plum

HOW TO HANDLE

A MUMMY

A BURIAL RITUAL FROM GRECO-ROMAN EGYPT

Jacco Dieleman Associate Professor of Egyptology University of California, Los Angeles The so-called Artemis Liturgical Papyrus preserves the instructions and incantations for the burial of a woman named Artemis. Artemis was buried in Egypt in the late Hellenistic or early Roman period. Despite her Greek name, she was buried in Egyptian style, mummified and all. In this public lecture, Jacco Dieleman, Member (2016) in the School of Historical Studies, will first reconstitute the manuscript from the preserved fragments and then reconstruct the ritual proceedings. This exercise will reveal that the ritual is a creative reworking of incantations that were already centuries or even millennia old by the time the manuscript was inscribed. It offers us the opportunity to study how Egyptian scribes dealt with their cultural heritage at a time when Egyptian society was undergoing rapid social and cultural change. THIS LECTURE IS SPONSORED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF MEMBERS OF THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY.

Having released a recording of Bach’s Complete French Suites for Deutsche Grammophon this past fall, Perahia will begin his program at Richardson Auditorium with the sixth suite in the set. For the pianist, this work is “Bach at the highest level …. I don’t think Bach wrote one note that didn’t have wider meanings and that wasn’t to be tackled with all one’s heart and soul.” Born in New York, Perahia started playing piano at the age of four, and later attended Mannes College where he majored in conducting and composition. Mr. Perahia is an honorary fellow of the

“Roots to Wings: MDE in Concert”

Creative exploration and joyful energy have been the hallmarks of the Dance Program at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) this year. With new artistic direction and three new instructors, MCCC’s current students, dance alumni, and faculty are eager to bring their work to the stage. The Mercer Dance Ensemble (MDE) presents “Roots to Wings: MDE in Concert” on Saturday, May 6 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 7 at 2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor Campus at 1200 Old Trenton Road. The show includes 15 dances ranging from modern styles to contemporary ballet, tap, ballroom dancing, theater art and improvisation. According to in-

structor Jennifer Gladney, MDE co-director, some of the numbers are simply for the joy of dance, while others create stories for the audience to interpret. Choreography will be contributed by faculty, students, alumni and community dancers. Gladney and fellow choreographer Rebecca Brodowski, both of whom are MCCC Dance alumni, have been heavily involved in MDE concerts for many years. MDE founder and long-time director Janell Byrne (now retired from MCCC) will showcase a new piece, while Jody Gazenbeek-Person, coordinator of MCCC’s Dance and Theatre program, will present a work set in an art museum’s sculpture exhibition. Another piece, created by Gladney, celebrates the new dual agreement for dance between MCCC and Rider University, where she also teaches. Tickets for “MDE” are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $14 students/children. Tickets may be purchased at www.kelseytheatre.net, or by calling (609) 5703333, or in person prior to the performance. More about the MCCC Theatre/Dance program is available at www.mccc.edu.

Ella Fitzgerald at 100 — “You Make Me Smile With My Heart”

eginning a column about Ella Fitzgerald’s 100th birthday (April 25, 2017) on my mother’s 105th birthday (April 20, 2017), feels sentimentally right if only because she lived in the songs Ella sang, notably “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Whenever my father played either of those classics on the piano, my mother would be, as she liked to say, “reduced to rubble.” In Visions of Jazz (1998), Gary Giddins makes the point that Ella “taught us something vital about joy, as Billie Holiday taught us something vital about pain.” He also observes that she was one of those jazz performers “who have become public monuments,” her “enduring authority” having “more than a little to do with an image of youthless (which is to say ageless) maternalism, sturdy and implacable.” Terms like “enduring authority” help explain why I never owned a single Ella album, never was a fan, even though she’d been magnificent the few times I’d seen her in person. Another problem was that, as Henry Pleasants notes in The Great American Popular Singers (1974), she’d “never been one for exposing her own heart in public,” preferring to share “her pleasures, not her troubles,” so that listening to her was “a joyous, exhilarating, memorable, but hardly an emotional experience.” Feeling Blue For my mother, songs were nothing if not emotional. She was one of those people who sing with their eyes when they listen, as she did when my father played. My first exposure to a “grown-up” film was when she took me to the Jerome Kern biopic Till the Clouds Roll By, which featured irresistible songs like “Look for the Silver Lining,” “Long Ago and Far Away,” “All the Things You Are,” and the one that never failed to demolish her, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” My seven-year-old reaction to this long long lavish musical in which the composer hero dies was a chaos of feelings I’d never felt before. Why the lump in the throat, the tears, the chills, and then the whole lot when “Old Man River” was sung? I’d like to think I had sense enough to know the difference between the version sung by a black singer I’d never heard of and the absurdly grandiose finale where everything but everything was white as Frank Sinatra in a white tux sang about “toting that barge” on a white pedestal above a sprawling multitude of whiter than white evening gowns and tuxedos. All I know is I walked out of the theater wondering what was going on with me and what was all that splendor and misery on the big screen really about? Was I disoriented, pained, saddened, shaken, all because of the music? How could that be when at the same age I religiously attended cowboy Saturday matinees and made rude noises at the first hint of “mush” or the nasal crooning of Gene Autry? Since Till the Clouds Roll By also had Lena Horne singing “Can’t Help Loving Dat Man” and “Why Was I Born” along with the two “Old Man Rivers,” this epic Hollywood confection (James Agee compared it to a “maple walnut on vanilla” sundae with all the trimmings) was also my introduction to the blues. My sense of the word at that

time was all about what happened to my mother when she got the news that her brother had been killed in World War II. I witnessed the moment first-hand. I was standing just behind her, age four, as she opened the door to the woman from the Red Cross. Years after that, whenever I found her crying about something, she’d tell me, “Don’t worry, I’m just feeling blue” or “It’s just the blues.” As if the blues were a seasonal disorder, like rainy weather. “Feeling the Music” Even as they celebrate Ella’s greatness, Gary Giddins and Henry Pleasants don’t dispute the notion that she’s uncomfortable with the blues. Referring to her “misguided” 1963 album, These Are the Blues, Giddins mentions “her ongoing detachment from the funk and drama of the blues,” which

dancing on the street corners of Harlem.” In one of the breakthrough moments of her life, winning Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem at 16, she was wearing “men’s boots and cast-off clothes.” Sliding Into Her Voice I’ve been taking late-night YouTube tours of Ella, as well as listening to CDs from the library. The idea that she’s somehow emotionally wanting is hard to take seriously when she’s singing a ballad with such prayerful intimacy that you seem to feel her breath on the back of your neck. Here she is at 2 a.m. singing Rodgers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine,” which Giddins cites after observing that Hart “wrote love songs for people who didn’t expect to be loved.” In the two interpretations I know best, by Chet Baker and Frank Sina-

by then “were the last thing anyone associated with the First Lady of Swing.” There also appears to be a connection between this failing and her reluctance to talk about her personal history. The New York Times review of Stuart Nicholson’s 1994 biography, First Lady of Jazz, refers to how “if pressed, she would pull out the tale ‘of a we-were-poor-but-happy childhood and of a mother always on hand with homespun philosophy to soothe the growing pains of childhood.’” The less savory side of the story, according to the Times, shows “a grimy little street singer and ragamuffin. She left a bullying stepfather, earned pocket money running the numbers and warning prostitutes when the police came near, dropped out of school, and ran away from the orphanage to which the Board of Education had sent her. She lived by singing and

tra, neither singer bothers with the somewhat awkward introduction and its use of “Thou” and “thy,” plus the jarring diction of phrases like “fine feathered friend” and “slightly dopey gent” who “his virtue doth parade.” Ella does girlish lilting wonders with those untuneful words. “I just want to slide into her voice,” says one of the YouTube bloggers. Another commenter simply quotes the lyric, “You make me smile with my heart.” Joy and Pain Here’s Ella in 1958, age 41, singing Harold Arlen’s “I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues,” on a TV clip, apparently from a late-night variety show. No doubt aware that there were those who thought she and To get an idea of the numerous events the blues were not on speaking terms, she taking place this year to commemorate gives the song a relaxed, mellow, almost Ella Fitzgerald’s centenary, check her elegaic reading, as if the issue of rights website ellafitzgerald.com.

were a mere subtext to the melody. Online it’s easy to make quick comparisons. Sarah Vaughan’s rendition is gutsy and in your face. The version I know best is Billie Holiday’s, but since it can be said that Billie is the blues, making comparisons seems pointless. The singer who does the most with the song is Judy Garland, who lives, dies, is reborn, ascends to heaven, and comes back to earth, landing with a smile knowing she’s given you everything she has, put herself body and soul on the line, blowing questions of terminology to the winds. Thinking of Gary Giddins’s insight about Ella teaching joy and Billie pain, I find Garland doing both, just as Charlie Parker does whenever, whatever, he plays, ultimately elevating everything, even the blues, beyond genre. But then so does Ella when she tears into “St. Louis Blues” during the birthday concert that took place in Rome on April 25, 1958. Soaring from words to scat to screams of sheer joy, she makes her case, “If people wonder what I’m singing, what I’m swinging, believe it or not it’s the ‘St. Louis Blues!’” Whistling and Humming As far as I know, my mother never heard what Ella Fitzgerald or Judy Garland could do with the songs my father played to such devastating effect. The only singer who could regularly accomplish that much emotional demolition was her favorite, Sarah Vaughan, who we saw together several nights at Birdland. The one song my mother seemed to take into herself, her song, part of her personal history, was Frank Loesser’s “Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year,” as sung, owned, inhabited by “the Divine Sarah.” Of all the tunes I’d hear her humming or whistling or singing to herself around the house, that was the melody of choice. Having been listening to Ella’s version lately, I’ve been going around this house incessantly humming and whistling it (a habit I picked up from guess who), along with “My Funny Valentine,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” and Kern’s “The Way You Look Tonight,” one of those songs that really does make love to the “object of your affection.” I’ve listened to versions by Ella, Sarah, and Judy (with Bing Crosby), but nothing equals the moment in Swing Time when Fred Astaire sits down at the piano and begins singing it to Ginger Rogers, who is in the next room. They’ve had a misunderstanding. He was on his way out the door. Then he sings, “Some day … I will feel a glow … just thinking of you …” And you see Ginger listening. She’s the one who’s glowing. The music’s making love to her. t’s one of life’s joys, to have these songs for company, and to know that through the music you’re in touch with someone who also knew them by heart, whistled and hummed and sometimes softly sang, from “Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year,” words like “You have left me … and where is our April of old?” —Stuart Mitchner

The Promise

CINEMA REVIEW

World War I Movie About a Love Triangle and Ethnic Cleansing

n Eastern Turkey in 1914, druggist Mikael Boghosian (Oscar Isaac) is working and living in his halfArmenian/half-Turkish village where Christians and Muslims are living together in peace. However, the ambitious apothecary would rather be a doctor, so he courts and marries a neighbor (Angela Sarafyan), whose family is relatively wealthy, in order to get the dowry. With the money, he is able to afford medical school. However, while studying in Constantinople, he falls in love with Ana (Charlotte Le Bon), a fellow Armenian who has recently returned from France. Mikael is taken with her beauty and urbane sophistication that she acquired while rowing up in Paris. Unfortunately, Ana has returned accompanied by her lover, Chris Meyers (Christian Bale), an American photojournalist who was assigned by the Associated Press to find evidence of ethnic cleansing. When World War I erupts, Mikael is forced to flee the Turkish army’s roundup of Armenian civilians and he returns to his hometown to help rescue his relatives

and friends. Ana is in a similar struggle to survive and her lover Chris Meyers does his best to take photos that document the slaughter of Armenians that is rumored to be occurring. The Promise is a riveting documentary drama directed and co-written by Oscar winner Terry George (The Short). The movie bears a strong resemblance to Hotel Rwanda, which George also directed and co-wrote. Both of his films depict extraordinary heroism in the face of a complete collapse of civilization. If this picture has a flaw, it’s that it appears to trivialize the ethnic cleansing of one and a half million Armenians by making that genocide a backdrop to the love story that is at the center of the movie. Excellent (HHH½). Rated PG-13 for mature themes, sexuality, violence, disturbing images, and war atrocities. Running time: 134 minutes. Production Studio: Survival Pictures. Distributor: Open Road Films. —Kam Williams

MAN PROPOSES, BUT GOD DISPOSES: Mikael Boghosian (Oscar Isaac, center) has his studies to be a medical doctor cruelly interrupted by the outbreak of World War I. As an Armenian, he is forced to flee the ethnic cleansing being performed by the Turkish army and returns to his home village to help save his friends and family from being hunted down and murdered.

Kelsey Rev iew, Mercer Count y Communit y College’s ( MCCC’s ) literar y journal that went to a fully online quarterly format this past fall, has just posted its spring 2017 issue.

This issue features artwork by Corrina Creekmur; fiction by Sofia Bae, Aaron Campbell, and Harvey Steinberg; poetry by Mason Bolton, Joseph Dresner, Elane Gutterman, Yamini Pathak, and David Vogtman; and a nonfiction piece by Rodney Richards. Themes of change, renewal, and the difficulty of relinquishing the past are all present in this issue. Kelsey Review Editor Jacky Vogtman, a member of MCCC’s English faculty, points to a couplet that ends Elane Gutterman’s poem, “Big Windows and a Patio to Catch the Light,”: “We all want to believe/in our future.” Says Ms. Vog t man, “I keep coming back to that stunning couplet. This being our spring issue, that couplet speaks with all the hopefulness that accompanies the season, but not without a hint of irony and melancholy.” The current as well as past issues Care & Rehabilitation Center of Kelsey Review are available at www.mccc. Care & Rehabilitation Center edu/kelseyreview. (The final issue of the 2016-17 academic year will be released in June.) In addition to Ms. Vogtman, the editorial board includes Ellen Jacko,

Senior Reynolds Saving Her Best for Last, Helping PU Softball Earn Ivy South Title

oming into her senior season on the Princeton University softball team, Marissa Reynolds was determined to be less fidgety when she was at bat. “I just wanted to take a calmer approach at the plate, sticking to my game plan, seeing the ball in as deep as possible and trusting my timing,” said the 5’7 outfielder Reynolds, a native of Chehalis, Wash. After hitting .262 in both her sophomore and junior seasons, Reynolds has blos-

somed this spring into one of the top sluggers in the Ivy League with a batting average of .456 and six homers and 20 RBIs in 35 games. “Right before spring break I was working with coach (Christie) Novatin,” said Reynolds. “I am staying more still in the box than in the past. I have always felt like I needed to move more to get more power. I have realized that I can still have the same amount of power by just sitting back and being calm. That is what

has made the biggest difference.” Displaying that calm approach last weekend, Reynolds went 5-for-11 with three runs, two RBIs, and a homer as Princeton won three out of four games against Columbia, clinching the Ivy South title in the process, improving to 2116 overall and 13-3 Ivy. “I think that this team really deserves to compete for the Ivy League championship,” said Reynolds reflecting on the title, the second straight division crown for the Tigers who went on to win the Ivy League Championship Series (ILCS) in 2016. “Last year we had a really good team but I think this team has something special. I am excited to see how we play.” Reynolds is excited by the strides the Princeton program has taken over the last four years. “Our team has come a long way since I have been here, the expectations are a lot different now,” said Reynolds. “We expect to win every Ivy League game that we play and that wasn’t the case when I came in as a freshman or even in my sophomore year. That comes with winning the Ivy League championship and then also this year having freshmen who stepped up. It has been a cool experience to be with a team that has grown so much since I have

been here.” In Reynolds’ view, the Tigers have a lot going for them as they shoot a second straight league title. “We have a lot of depth on this team, one through nine anyone can come up and change the game,” said Reynolds. “We have a lot of depth with our pitching staff. I think we have more depth than any of the other Ivy League teams so that is what I think we have a good shot at the championship.” The team’s senior class, which includes Claire Klausner, Erica Nori, Haley Hineman, and Kelsey Smith in addition to Reynolds, is hoping to get another weekend on their Class of 1895 Field as Princeton is currently in position to earn home field advantage for the ILCS, having posted a better league record than Ivy North leader Dartmouth (11-24-1 overall, 10-6 Ivy). No matter what happens, Reynolds will be happy to be on the diamond with her classmates. “It has been a cool journey with this group,” said Reynolds. “I would not have wanted it with any other group of girls.” Princeton head coach Lisa Van Ackeren is proud of what her seniors have already accomplished. “They are a really tough group, they have been through a lot together and what is remarkable is the growth of the five of them throughout their careers,” said Van Ackeren.

REYNOLDS RAP: Princeton University softball star Marissa Reynolds takes a cut in recent action. Last weekend, senior star Reynolds helped Princeton go 3-1 against Columbia as the Tigers clinched the Ivy League South Division title. The Tigers, now 21-16 overall and 13-3 Ivy, end regular season play by facing Cornell in doubleheaders on April 29 and April 30, with the first twinbill taking place in Princeton and the second in Ithaca, N.Y. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “Marissa, Claire, and Erica are having their best season; the growth in them has been impressive. They are a special group of people.” Showing some mental toughness, Princeton rallied from a 5-2 seventh inning deficit in the opener on Saturday to pull out a 6-5 win. “I think initially our focus wasn’t there and unfortunately a three spot is put up,” said Van Ackeren, whose team had swept a doubleheader from the Lions on Friday (winning 9-6 and 8-0) and ended the weekend by falling 9-4 to Columbia in the nightcap on Saturday. “We have to respond and we do that, which is great so that was really important. A come-from-behind win gives them confidence that whatever kind of game they face, they are going to be OK.” It was great for the Tigers to wrap up the Ivy South title. “We are excited; this team set that goal early on and expected to do it in a different way than last year as a new group

of people which is really special,” said Van Ackeren. “The league has grown, especially in the past five years that I have seen it. Columbia is a tough team to get three out of four from, they have good hitters.” While Princeton is hoping to host the best-of-three ILCS, Van Ackeren is confident that her team will take care of business wherever it plays. “Being there is the first step,” said Van Ackeren, whose team ends regular season play by facing Cornell in doubleheaders on April 29 and April 30, with the first twinbill taking place in Princeton and the second in Ithaca, N.Y. “If we have the opportunity to host and it is in our control, that is absolutely our goal. We love playing at home, I think every team does. We won on the road last year (at Harvard) and they know how to do that so regardless of where we are, we will compete the same way.” In the view of Reynolds, Princeton knows it has to stay in the moment to come through. “It is sticking to our process and sticking to our goals and to know what it is we are working towards and not losing sight of that,” said Reynolds. “It is also not taking a game for granted and not getting complacent. It is treating each and every game like it is the one to be won.” —Bill Alden

Bear Goldstein hails from the heart of Texas but he has deep ties to Princeton University. Goldstein’s mother went to Princeton in the 1980s and competed for the track team and his grandfather played football for the Tigers and was a member of the Class of 1951. So when the Dallas native was considering where to attend college and continue his lacrosse career, coming north to Princeton was a nobrainer. “I never had a choice of where to go, not that I would have wanted one,” said the 6’0, 180-pound Goldstein, who starred at lacrosse and football at the St. Mark’s School of Texas. As senior defender and cocaptain Goldstein reflected on his time at Princeton last Saturday when the lax program held its annual Senior Day celebration, he knows that he made a great choice. “I am the luckiest guy in the world to be able to go to a school like this and play on a team like this with so much history and so much support,” said Goldstein. While Goldstein and his classmates appreciated the support and affection they got last Saturday, they were determined to not be overwhelmed by the moment as the Tigers hosted Harvard. “It is a special moment to be out here on Class of ’52 for my last game,” said Goldstein. “We talked about it all week but when it comes down to it, this is just another game and we prepared the same exact way as we do for every other game.” After falling behind the Crimson 1-0 in the early going, Princeton scored three straight goals and never looked back on the way to a 12-9 victory. The win improved No. 13 Princeton to 9-4 overall and 4-1 Ivy League, clinching a spot in the upcoming Ivy tournament which includes the top four teams in the league standings. “The focus going into this game was coming out with energy,” said Goldstein. “They got that first goal but we played hard and we fought back. We put up three right after that and I think that really got us going for the rest of the game.” The rugged Goldstein, who has been a starter since his freshman season, was proud of the team’s work at the defensive end. “I thought we played really well in the first half,” said Goldstein. “Our coaches talk a lot about complementary lacrosse, when the offense isn’t scoring goals, the defense has to hold down the fort. I think we executed that very well today.”

Goldstein executed well as he helped to hold Harvard star attacker Morgan Cheek to a goal and two assists. “He is a good player, we scouted him well,” said Goldstein, who picked up four ground balls and had two caused turnovers in the win. “Coach (Jesse) Bernhardt had a good game plan going into the game and just relied on the fundamentals after that.” Wit h h is con s ider able experience, Goldstein has taken a lead role in helping Princeton’s defensive unit take care of the fundamentals in a weekly basis. “I have started previous years and coming with Arman Medghalchi, a freshman, and Danny Winschuh, a junior who is just starting games this year at this point of the season, we are bringing it together,” said Goldstein. “We are building on everything week by week and I think it is going well for us.” Clinching a spot in the Ivy tourney, which will be held May 5-7 at Yale, gives the Tigers the chance to keep building. “It just means that there is one more week with this team, that is what it is all about,” said Goldstein. “After that, we will just keep trying to buy more time.” Being a two-time captain has given Goldstein the opportunity to make a special contribution to the team. “It is a humbling experience being able to lead a group of guys like this,” said Goldstein. “It is a really special honor to be able to be in front of them and share whatever I have and give whatever I have to give to them.” With the Class of 2017 having endured a coaching change last year and posted a 21-20 record coming into this spring, Goldstein and his classmates are savoring their success in their final campaign. “There are ups and downs and going through all of that, you learn from adversity, you grow, and you get better,” said Goldstein. “I think this year is a good culmination of everything we have been through.” Princeton head coach Matt Madalon is proud of how his 11 seniors have handled the ups and downs over the last four years. “It is an incredible group, it is always outstanding to honor them with a win,” said Madalon. “There is a big celebration for them, the guys can get distracted but they were leading the charge in terms of focus. They are an impressive group, they have been through a lot in their

four years so they have done a nice job.” Madalon is particularly impressed by what Goldstein has given the team on a daily basis over the last four years. “You want to talk about selfless and being a grinder,” said Madalon of Goldstein. “He does it in the classroom and doesn’t bat an eye. He does it off the field with leadership and service and doesn’t bat an eye. He is just a giving individual. Every day I walk in and think I am going to miss that guy. He is outstanding. He has tough matchups, we put him on cover guys. We make him be the slide guy. He can be the point in our zone. He does everything for us. What it comes down to is that his toughness is unwavering.” The Tigers showed some mental toughness in topping Harvard. “I feel like we are always down at the start,” said Madalon. “We preach 60 minutes and keep getting better every minute and go harder and harder. Harvard came out a nd t hey execute d. They did a great job at the X, they did a great job in the cage, and they did a great job on their zone defense. They sputtered a little early offensively and then they found their groove. We are glad that clock ran out, they were coming.” Senior star attacker and co-captain McBride did a great job in the win, scoring a career-high seven goals and adding one assist. “Eight points, holy cow, any time you do that, it is outstanding,” said Madalon of McBride, who now has 46 goals on the season to lead Division I. “It is not surprising. I am sitting there and I could not have told you how many he had. We have gotten so used to it.” While Madalon was pleased to see the Tigers earn a berth in the Ivy tourney, he doesn’t want them looking past their regular season finale at Cornell on April 29. “All you want is for the kids to be able to play as long as they can,” said Madalon. “For us to be able to play in the Ivy tournament, what a great first step. We have Cornell to finish up the regular season, that is our only focus.” Goldstein, for his part, knows that the Tigers have to keep their focus in order to be a force in May. “It is effort and energy; we have talent and we have skill,” said Goldstein. “It is all about putting it together every day, practice by practice, and then when we get to the games, putting it all together then. The best teams in college lacrosse do well at the end of the year.” —Bill Alden

A Princeton tradition!

Showing Resilience in Overtime Win at Cornell, PU Women’s Lax Focused on Getting Ivy Title Last Wednesday evening, the Princeton Universit y women’s lacrosse team dug a 9-2 hole at Penn on the way to a 17-12 loss as a late rally fell short. Three days later at Cornell, the Tigers started much better, jumping out to a 6-3 lead at halftime. But Princeton found itself needing to rally again as the Big Red stormed back to take an 11-9 lead with four minutes left in regulation. This time, Princeton came through, getting goals from Te s s D’O r s i a n d Ol iv ia Hompe to knot the game at 11-11 and force overtime and then prevailed as Colby Chanenchuk found the back of the net in a feed from Hompe. The thrilling win improved the ninth-ranked Tigers to 11-3 overall and 5-1 Iv y League, moving it into a three-way tie for first in the regular season standings with No. 7 Penn (12-2 overall, 5-1 Ivy) and No. 11 Cornell (10-4 overall, 5-1 Ivy). In the view of Princeton head coach Chris Sailer, the triumph also gave the Tigers a jolt of confidence as they prepare for the upcoming Ivy tournament with an eye on another trip to the NCAA tourney. “It is just huge in terms of our resilience, our competitiveness, never giving up, and finding a way; we haven’t had close games this year,” said Sailer, noting the Tigers three losses were by five goals or more and most of their wins have been onesided. “It was a great experience for us and really great for our confidence knowing that we could pull it out.” In the early going against Cornell, it looked like the Tigers weren’t going to need a rally as they jumped out to a 4-2 advantage and led 7-3 early in the second half. “We got off to a nice start; I think the biggest thing about that Cornell game was the difference in the draw controls,” said Sailer whose team built an 8-2 edge in draw controls in the first half and ended up with a 17-9 advantage in the category on the day. “We really dominated in that stat.” The Tigers, though, didn’t take full advantage of their possession as Cornell fought back in the second half. “Shooting is something we

are going to be focusing on this week,” said Sailer. “We had opportunities for goals. We have to be able to adjust better to what the goalie is doing. Seeing what saves she is making versus what saves she isn’t and then adjust accordingly.” Junior star Chanenchuk adjusted, however, turning from her customary role of feeder into clutch scorer, tallying three goals and an assist against Cornell. “Colby did have a few g o a l s ,” s a i d S a i l e r o f Chanenchu k who has a team-high 30 assists. “She got herself open on the crease and was able to finish, which was great.” W hile get t ing t he w in was great, Sailer knows her team has plenty of room for growth. “I think it is going to be important that we examine that win as much as we examine the losses and really look to continue to grow and improve,” said Sailer. In Sailer’s view, her players need to hone in on being smarter with the ball. “The focus is just playing

our game at a high level,” said Sailer. “We were really pleased with the draw controls in the Cornell game; we have to continue doing well on that end. We have got to keep put unforced errors at a minimum. We have to do better handling the ball under pressure and being able to find opportunities and finishing up opportunities against the variety of defenses we were coming up against.” With Princeton hosting Columbia (7-7 overall, 2-4 Ivy) in its regular season finale on April 29, Sailer is looking for the Tigers to dwell on handling the Lions rather than their tournament prospects. “Before we even think about the postseason, we have to finish the regular season strong,” said Sailer. “We have a quality Columbia team coming here that has a lot of weapons offensively. They are quick, they are fast; they have had a really good season so we are going to have to play our best. It is Senior Day, it is alumni day. We want a share of the Ivy League title; that is what we are playing for and that is going to be our focus this week.” —Bill Alden

FANTASTIC FINISH: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Colby Chanenchuk heads upfield in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday at Cornell, Chanenchuk had three goals and an assist, including the game-winning tally in overtime, as the Tigers rallied from a late two-goal deficit to prevail 12-11. No. 9 Princeton, now 11-3 overall and 5-1 Ivy League, wraps up regular season play by hosting Columbia (7-7 overall, 2-4 Ivy) on April 29. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

PHS Alum Gross Overcomes Injury Woes, Turning Into Mound Star for PU Baseball In the spring of 2013, Ben Gross enjoyed a dominant season on the mound for the Princeton High baseball team, with 53 strikeouts in 51 innings and a sparkling 2.47 ERA. Plagued by the recurrence of a shoulder injury that had sidelined him for much of his first two seasons at PHS, Gross only pitched six innings as a senior. Heading across town to Princeton University and joining its baseball program which had been attracted by the potential he displayed in that 2013 season, Gross was initially derailed by his ongoing injury woes. “I could do absolutely nothing when I came in,” said Gross. “This was after my first surgery. I started up with my normal routine, trying to rehab and get ready for the season and it flared up again. I got another surgery right when the season started so I just kind of sat back and watched. That was just as hard as it was my freshman and sophomore years of high school and my senior year.” Last spring, Gross was able to take the mound, making two appearances and logging three innings, striking out two and giving up no runs. “My arm felt great last year which was a big change

for m e,” s a i d t h e 6’2, 200-pound Gross. “T hree innings isn’t a whole lot but just to get out there was awesome because it had been two and a half years since I had set foot on a baseball field.” Encouraged by his taste of college action, Gross put his nose to the grindstone over the offseason. “This summer, I trained really hard to get back to my former self before the surgeries,” said Gross. “It was a mix of everything: honestly working on my mechanics, my strength, all of that.” That work has paid dividends this spring as Gross regained his form, emerging as a key starter for the Tigers, going 3-2 with a 1.46 ERA in his first six starts. While Gross has picked up two straight losses in the last two weekends as the Tigers went 0-8 and are now 9-26-1 overall and 5-11 Ivy League, he still leads team in wins (3) and strikeouts (39). Coming into the 2017 campaign, Gross had modest expectations. “I just wanted to pitch a greater amount of innings, I didn’t really care about the success,” said Gross, who has piled up 43 and one-third innings this spring. “Really I just wanted to get out there and prove to myself that I could go a full season without getting hurt.”

Experiencing success in his first two outings this spr i ng got G ros s goi ng in the right direction. On March 4, Gross went five innings with eight strikeouts, two walks, and no runs in a loss to Duke and he followed that up by going six innings against UNC-Greensboro a week later, earning his first college win in the process as he struck out six and surrendered two runs on six hits. “It was awesome, that was a cool experience to get to play at the Durham Bulls athletic complex,” said Gross, recalling the Duke game. “Anyone can do it once, how about twice ; that is what my dad always says to me. It was cool to go out there and get repeated success.” In assessing his season, Gross attributes his success to harnessing his fastball. “I tend to rely on my fastball a little too much but I trust the velocity, I trust my command of it,” said Gross. “I let the other team get themselves out, I don’t try to overpower anyone.” Getting out there for the Tigers has been a great experience for Gross. “It is awesome to finally get out on the field,” said Gross. “In my freshman year, I had to sit back and watch as the team struggled. Last year I had to sit back and watch as we won an Ivy

League championship, which was fun but I wished I was contributing to the team. This year, we were hoping to make a run at another Ivy League championship and I am at the forefront of that, which is a really cool feeling.” Princeton pitching coach Mike Russo, a former Hun School standout, wasn’t feeling overly confident about Gross’s prospects heading into the season. “We really hadn’t gotten much out of him, I know he was working towards pitching and stuff like that,” said Russo. “I had heard that he had a good arm and that he was dominant in high school.” Seeing Gross come through against Duke gave Russo confidence that the injury-plagued righty could be dominant at the college level. “At Duke, we knew that we were going to start him but we were a little unsure about him throwing multiple innings and how he was gong to respond to it,” said Russo. “Pitching in a game against somebody else you just never know what guys are going to do. You can simulate it as much as you want. When you throw him against guys and you turn the lights on and you play against another team, you really see what guys are made of. He was awesome.” Building on that performance, Gross has displayed some awesome stuff this

spring. “He was pitching at 8891 mph with command of three different pitches,” said Russo. “He was throw ing t wo different breaking balls, a curve ball and a slider and his command was outstanding. He was in the bottom of the zone. He has that really slow, methodical delivery and then the ball gets on you pretty quick.” The emergence of Gross into a top starter for the Tigers has Russo excited about the hurler’s future. “He really turned it on this year and the guys look up to him,” said Russo. “When he pitches in the game, there is a comfort level. with our team behind him. The guys really love playing when he is throwing. He has earned it every step of the

way and the guys have seen his work ethic all year. We are really pleased with how he is throwing and we are definitely looking forward to his senior campaign.” Buoyed by his comeback campaign, Gross is looking forward to next season and beyond. “I want to just stay healthy and keep progressing,” said Gross. “Hopefully if everything goes right, I can try to play at the next level. That would be the ultimate goal.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Swimming Names Lundgaard as Coach

A connection with Tennessee has once again resulted in a leader for the Princeton University women’s swimming and diving program as University of Tennessee assistant coach Bret Lundgaard has been named the sixth head coach for the program, thirtythree years after UT graduate and retiring coach Susan Teeter began her legendary run for the Tigers. Lundgaard, who is also currently a USA Swimming National Team Coach, enjoyed a successful five-year tenure at Tennessee on both the individual and team levels. He was responsible for all training components for 2016 U.S. Olympian Molly Hannis, a four-year member of the US National Team who competed in Rio in the 200 breaststroke. Hannis was part of a 2013 Tennessee squad

that placed third at the NCAA Championships, the best finish in program history. Tennessee has had multiple SEC champions and NCAA All-America honorees during Lundgaard’s five years on staff, and the Volunteers were fewer than 30 points away from their first SEC team title in 2016. Lundgaard also served as the Director of Recruiting at Tennessee, and he helped recruit five Top-10 classes between the women’s and men’s teams, including the No. 2 women’s class in 2013. In 2016, both of his classes earned Top 10 ranks from swimswam.com, including the No. 6 class for the women. Following a successful swim career at the University of Washington, where he was a two-year captain and 2008 Olympic Trials qualifier (100 butterfly), Lundgaard began his coaching career at both Boulder City High School and the Desert Storm Swim Team. One year later, he began his collegiate coaching career at the United States Military Academy, where he served as both assistant coach and director of recruiting. Lundgaard earned Pac-10 All-Academic honors all four years of his Washington career. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism while also earning a certificate of business and marketing. He earned a master’s degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in sports psychology and motor behavior from the University of Tennessee. He has big shoes to fill in his new job as Teeter won 17 Ivy League titles and produced 22 All-America honorees during her illustrious career.

Bouncing Back From Frustrating 0-4 Start, PHS Softball Picking Up Wins, Confidence In the first nine days of the season, the Princeton High softball team went 0-4, getting outscored 45-2 in the process. Things went a lot better in the next nine days as PHS won five of seven games, including a three-game winning streak which saw the Little Tigers pile up 36 runs and give up only two. PHS head coach Marissa Soprano saw a pair of wins over Trenton (10-0 on April 13 and 15-0 on April 17) as key confidence builders for the Little Tigers. “We talked to the girls about just taking every inning as it comes and getting the big hits when we needed them,” said Soprano, whose squad topped Hamilton 11-2 on April 18 to make it three straight wins. “Trenton was a good way to go into the week and then against Hamilton West, they came out swinging which was really good for their confidence.” After suffering lopsided losses to Notre Dame (15-0) last Wednesday and to Nottingham (16-1) last Thursday, PHS rebounded with a come-from-behind 4-3 win

over Allentown last Friday. “The girls didn’t play as well as we wanted them to on Thursday,” said Soprano. “We were really happy that they came back and played every single pitch of that game and stayed in it, even when Allentown took a 1-0 lead with a home run. They did phenomenal on Friday.” The Little Tigers showed resilience a day later as they fell 7-2 to Bogota in the opening round of the John Czeterko Highway woman Classic in Teaneck but then came back with a 10-3 win over Dwight-Morrow in a consolation contest. “We had about a 15-minute break before the second one and we talked to the girls about taking a breather and refocusing for the second game,” said Soprano. “We were down 2-0 and the girls came back to win it; that was a good way to end the day.” Junior Bianca Guidi has come up big in recent play, piling up RBIs for the Little Tigers. “Bianca was pretty hard

FIRING AWAY: Princeton High pitcher Kayla Volante fires a pitch in a game earlier this season.

on herself in the beginning of the season because she wasn’t performing at the plate,” said Soprano of Guidi, who totaled six RBIs in the wins over Trenton. “She has been a key spot for us in the lineup; she has gotten timely hits and has seen her season improve as we have gone along.” The return of senior first baseman Nancy Gray from illness has given PHS a lift. “Nancy has done a nice job,” said Soprano, noting that junior Gillian Nadler and senior Megan Shanahan have been stepping up as well. “Her first game back was Wednesday with Hamilton West and then on Friday she hit the home run to tie it up for us in the Allentown game.” Game in, game out, senior Kayla Volante has been a stalwart for PHS with her pitching and hitting. “Kayla is such a solid performer for us; we almost take it for granted that she is able to pitch every game for us,” said Soprano. “She pitched a game and half on Saturday, which was really crucial for us. It wasn’t under great conditions because the field was really soft and it was raining pretty much the whole time we were playing.” Soprano, for her par t, believes PHS can keep progressing if it doesn’t take things for granted. “We are talking to the girls about showing up for every inning and playing to the best of their ability and that is all we can ask,” said Soprano, whose team fell 2-0 to Hightstown last Monday to move to 5-8 and hosts Hightstown on April 26, plays at Robbinsville on April 28, and hosts Hopewell Valley on May 1. “They have really done a nice job picking up a few wins in a row. They are doing what we have been practicing and we wanted it to translate into the games. Hopefully it will continue to do that this coming week.” —Bill Alden

McDonald Displaying Finishing Touch As PHS Boys’ Lax Girds for Postseason Last May, the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team lost an 11-9 heartbreaker to Robbinsville in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals. So when the foes met last Friday in a regular season clash, PHS was primed to turn the tables on the Ravens. “We were really motivated to come out strong,” said PHS senior attackman Eamonn McDonald. “Also coming off our past losses to PDS and Summit, we really wanted to come out and play a tough game today.” PHS got off to a ver y strong start against the Ravens, roaring out to a 7-2 halftime lead. “The offense was hot, we were clicking; the defense was doing great,” said McDonald, who scored three goals in the first half. The tide turned against PHS in the second half as Robbinsville caught fire, outscoring the Little Tigers 8-3 to knot the game at 1010 and force overtime. The contest turned into a marathon as both teams had good scoring chances in the extra session before the Ravens scored in the third overtime to pull out an 1110 thriller. “We really wanted to win, we worked hard,” said McDonald, reflecting on the setback. “We didn’t come out with it but I feel like we played well. We will definitely be seeing them again in the MCT.” While McDonald and his

teammates were disappointed by the result, they viewed the clash as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming county and state tournaments. “It was very close, high intensity, and very competitive,” added McDonald, who ended up with four goals in the loss. “It was a good tournament practice game.” McDonald, who is headed to Montclair State where he will be playing for its men’s lacrosse program, has teamed with classmate Johnny Lopez-Ona to give PHS a very competitive attack unit. “Johnny is the peanut butter to my jelly; he complements me really well,” said McDonald. “We have been playing together for eight or nine years. I have been a finisher for as long as I can remember and Johnny has always been there to set me up. He got his 100th goal today.” PHS head coach Chip Casto knows he can depend on the the pair of McDonald and Lopez-Ona to be in synch. “Eamonn is lucky; he gets to do the last second work and he does it well,” said Casto. “Johnny carries the weight of the ball 90 percent of the time. Eamonn gets to finish but Johnny does a lot of the scrappy work. Jake White and Alex Park are good complementary players.” Even Casto was taken aback by PHS’s dominance in the first half. “I was shocked when we came out and played so well,” said Casto. “We shut

down some of their stuff and then as the game wore on they started shooting and sticking.” PHS stuck to its guns and picked up some valuable lessons in defeat. “I kept talking about it in overtime; this is a learning experience,” said Casto. “This is stuff that we are going to need in the counties; this is stuff we are going to need in the states. You guys are feeling that pressure, you are picking up the ball with pressure so it is all good stuff.” Junior defender Ian Jacobs excelled at both ends of the field for the Little Tigers against Robbinsville, picking up two assists, helping out with face-offs, and delivering some crunching hits. “Ian is a monster, he plays well,” said Casto. “Pat Jacobs shut down his matchup as well. They are going to turn the corner and get some goals but I thought our defense played well. They were sticking the ball, they were shooting.” Casto is confident that PHS will play well when it gets into postseason action. “It starts in about a week,” added Casto, whose team dropped to 4-5 with a 16-7 defeat at Lawrenceville last Saturday and plays at North Hunterdon on April 26 and hosts WW/P-North on April 27. “All we are talking about is getting better every practice and every game.” In McDonald’s view, the key to a deep tournament run is simple. “I think it is just effort and motivation,” said McDonald. “It really comes down to heart and who wants it more.” —Bill Alden

Andrew Kaye didn’t score a goal as the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team rolled to a 19-4 win over Peddie School last Thursday. But the senior attackman was fine with that, tallying three assists as he focused on triggering a line that features freshman star Trevor Deubner and sophomore standout Devon Cowan. “I just see myself as a facilitator and doing the little things out there and helping out the younger guys on the team,” said Kaye. “It is great playing with those guys, they have a bright future ahead of them. It is really great that they can get some experience out here.” The Raiders got off to a great start against Peddie,

building a 12-1 lead by halftime. “ We have got a goo d group of guys; we all play together,” said Kaye. “It is nice to get out there with everybody and move the ball. Coach (MV Whitlow) has been harping on team offense all year. We really clicked today and we have been working really hard in practice.” Kaye, who is moving to the Penn State where he will play for its men’s lax program, has been building up his game and body as he looks forward to competing at the next level. “I say working on my shot and just get ting bigger, faster, and stronger,” said Kaye. Hun has been play ing

some strong lacrosse lately as the win over Peddie marked its third straight triumph after going 1-3 in its first four games. “It has been a rough start,” said Kaye. “We had some tough losses; we got a little unlucky. There were definitely things we could fix. It wasn’t anything skill-wise and I think we are learning from our mistakes and evolving as a team.” Hun head coach Whitlow likes the way things are evolving for the Raiders. “We knew we were young,” said W hitlow. “We were starting five underclassmen and we just wanted those guys to come along well and play our best lacrosse in May, which is hopefully what we are going to do now

that the calendar is getting ready to turn.” Two of the those young guns came up big against Peddie as Cowan tallied six goals and two assists while Deubner contributed four goals and four assists. “Devon Cowan really stepped up a lot and Trevor is playing his best lacrosse now going into May so that was the plan,” said Whitlow. Whitlow credits Kaye with helping Cowan and Deubner find the range. “Andrew is a senior whose game is pretty dynamic and he is playing his role, playing within the system and doing smart things,” said Whitlow. “He has become a very mature presence for those two younger guys that are out there with him and he

has become a great leader. He takes what the defense gives him and plays within the team system.” The Hun defense stuck to its systems in stifling Peddie. “We wanted to play good team defense, we wanted to stress communication and playing with all seven guys,” said Whitlow. “I think we did that and gave up some shots from the outside that Gib (Versfeld) could have a pretty good look at and save pretty easily.” With the Raiders improving to 4-3, Whitlow is confident his squad will produce a good stretch drive. “I think the team is going in a good direction, they are working ver y hard,” said Whitlow, whose team plays at t he Br u ns w ick School (Conn.) on April 26

and faces Haverford School (Pa.) in the KSF Tournament on April 29 at Radnor High (Pa.) before hosting Peddie in the state Prep A semis on May 1. “It is really fundamental stuff, just Hun culture stuff, just working hard every practice, every drill, and every rep. It is being a good teammate and being selfless and being high character guns and having fun. The guys are having a good time.” Kaye, for his part, is determined to have a lot of fun in his final days for Hun. “I am enjoying everything in these last couple weeks of school and having a great time here with all of my friends and the team,” said Kaye, who also stars for the Hun boys’ soccer program. “It has been a great experience.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Kaye Adding Maturity to Attack As Hun Boys’ Lax Gets on Winning Track

Ali Hannah decided that she had to be ready to go the distance in order to make a greater impact this season for the Stuart Country Day lacrosse team. “I struggled with my stamina before so I worked in the offseason and I was running every day,” said junior attacker Hannah. “I still run a couple of times a week during the season.” L ast Wednesday, Han nah’s conditioning and aggressiveness was on display as she scored nine goals to help Stuart top Trinity Hall 15-10. “I like to put it in and finish and go hard the whole time; I don’t like to slack off,” said Hannah, reflecting on her performance. “I am an upperclassman now; I am more of a leader this year than I was in previous years. I really think that gives me more scoring opportunities.” The Tartans worked together to generate scoring opportunities in the win over Trinity Hall, jumping out to a 4-0 lead four minutes into the contest.

“We were working on connecting passes in our previous games and really got that fluid today,” said Hannah. “We star ted of f really strong, the passes were fluid and there was a team effort. I think because of that we won the game.” With Stuart having won four of its last five games, Hannah believes the team is benefitting from a stronger chemistry. “We are probably more of a unified team; definitely during our Florida trip we became a lot closer because there was a bonding opportunity for us,” said Hannah. “I feel like communication is at a higher level than it was in the past.” Following in the footsteps of her older sister Tori, a field hockey and lacrosse star for Stuart, has helped Hannah reach a higher level. “We are definitely competitive; she and I were always competing over who gets the most goals,” said Hannah of her older sister, who is playing field hockey at UMassLowell.

Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik likes the way Hannah is competing this spring. “Ali is fearless, she is going to go to goal but she has also learned when to back out and is looking for her teammates,” said Bruvik, noting that Hannah had eight goals to help Stuart to an 11-5 win over Ranney School on April 18. “She has two or three different kinds of shots. She has really worked hard on her conditioning and her strength. She is in the weight room all the time.” The Tartans are also getting good work from sophomore Grace Sheppard and senior Caitlyn Delaney. “Grace did a great job on the draws; she fights and does well on the ground balls,” said Bruvik of Sheppard, who tallied three goals and an assist in the victory over Trinity Hall. “Caitlyn Delaney is on the ball in most all of the plays; she has a nose for the ball, whether she is playing offense or defense. She is constantly around the ball and that just tells you she is on the move the whole game and she has been doing that all season.” The Stuart defense fought harder as the Trinity Hall game went on. “They were better in the second half, it was about stopping the ball,” said Bruvik. “Maria McBride hustles; we put her at midfield at some point today to see if

she could help us in that transition. She is quick and she played the whole game. We ask a lot of her.” In Bruvik’s view, her squad is getting better and better. “We have got some depth and the kids are feeding off of each other,” added Bruvik. “I definitely t hink t he trip to Florida gave us a little edge in terms of being more ready than in the last few years. We really need to work on game management when we have possession of the ball and using the clock. We are going to start working on that a little more intently in practice.” Hannah, for her part, believes talking more on the field will help the Tartans gain more of an edge offensively going forward. “Our communication is good but I feel that if it was one step further, it could be even better, like in transition passes,” said Hannah. “The passes are better than they were but there are times that we can improve.” GOAL ORIENTED: Stuart Country Day School lacrosse player Ali —Bill Alden Hannah heads upfield in recent action. Last Wednesday, junior star Hannah tallied nine goals to help Stuart defeat Trinity Hall 15-10 and improve 5-3. The Tartans host Hightstown on April 27 before starting play in the state Prep B tournament.

Marlene A. Raboteau Marlene A. Raboteau, 85, of Princeton, died at the Princeton Care Center on Thursday, April 20, 2017. Born in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi in 1932, Marlene was raised there until 1945, when the racially motivated murder of her father, Albert Raboteau, prompted her mother, Mabel Ishem Raboteau to move north, settling in Kokomo, Indiana with Marlene, her sister Alise, and her brother,

Albert, Jr. In 1947, the family moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she completed high school and attended junior college. Afterwards, she worked as a police dispatcher until 1958, when she joined the rest of her family in relocating to Pasadena, California. There she occupied a clerical position at St. Joseph’s Hospital. In 1982, she moved to Princeton where her brother, Albert, had joined the faculty of the Religion Department at the University. She did clerical work at the University Housing and Facilities Department. After retirement, she moved to Elm Court and then to Princeton Care Center. Debilitated by Alzheimer’s disease, her health began to fail over the past year and worsened significantly in the past month. A parishioner of St. Paul Catholic Church, she received the last rites two days before her death. She is survived by her brother Albert Raboteau; her nephews, Albert Raboteau III, Charles Raboteau and Martin Raboteau; her niece Emily Raboteau; her sisters-in-law Kathy Murtaugh and Joanne Shima Raboteau; her grandnieces, Lucia, Delilah, and Paz; and her grandnephews, Albert Jordy Raboteau IV,

Geronimo Jacob, Ollie, and Gus. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, April, 29, 2017 at 1 p.m. in St. Paul’s Church-Mercy Chapel, 214 Nassau Street, Princeton. Committal services will follow at Trinity-All Saints’ Cemetery, Princeton. Extend condolences and remembrances at TheKimbleFuneralHome.com.

Julia H. Rhodes Julia H. Rhodes, 77, of Princeton Junction, passed away on Tuesday, April 18th, after an 18-month battle against cancer. Mrs. Rhodes attended the Plumfield and Thomas schools

in Connecticut, graduated as a Wellesley scholar in 1961, and earned her Masters in Teaching from Radcliffe in 1963. She wed Dr. Rodman Dunbar Rhodes that same year, and moved with him to Madison, Wisconsin and then to Champagne, Illinois, serving as a high school English teacher in both districts. The couple moved to Princeton in 1972. Julia lost no time in making Princeton her home. In 1973, she began teaching English in West Windsor. In 1976, she joyfully became the supervisor of English and language arts instruction for the Spotswood Public Schools, a position that subsequently expanded to include supervising foreign language instruction. In 2001, she was named principal of Spotswood’s Austin G. Schoenly Elementary School, a post she held until her retirement in 2005. Julia then continued teaching, tutoring local students in English and completing educational consultancies in Haiti and Nigeria. She also coauthored, with her long-time friend Dr. Alice Deakins, an upcoming book entitled The Writer’s Sentence, and could be found reviewing drafts of this publication until a week before her death.

Julia was a devoted member of Nassau Presbyterian Church and of her community. She served as a Sunday school teacher for over 10 years, and particularly enjoyed helping her students organize the church’s annual fundraiser to fight river blindness in Africa. An enthusiastic community advocate, she was president of her neighborhood association. As a patron of the arts, she subscribed to McCarter Theater and the American Repertory Ballet, and volunteered regularly at both institutions. Teacher, mentor, faithful disciple, community leader, and arts enthusiast; these all describe Julia, and yet do not do her justice. For it was as a friend, sister, and mother that she was the most exemplary. Brimming with compassion, humor, generosity, and intelligence, she cultivated friendships with many around the world, including the Kagitcibasi family of Turkey and the Camara and Sow families of Guinea. Many of the family’s closest friends simply referred to her as “mom.” The hundreds who have brought a problem to her kitchen table, and who have listened to her calmly suggest, “Let’s figure this out,” will forever miss her

guidance, laughter, empathy, and wisdom. Julia was predeceased by her mother and father, Albert Spaulding Howe, Jr. and Dorothy Waller Hutchinson Howe of Norwalk, Connecticut; her brothers Bert and Tom; and her husband, Rodman. She is survived by sister, Doria Howe; daughters Rebecca and Sarah, their husbands Fode Camara and Nicholas Stewart; and by grandchildren Julia Fanta Camara and Autumn Dunbar Stewart. A service in her honor will be held at Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau Street in Princeton, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 6th. Funeral arrangements have been made by VarcoeThomas of Doylestown, Pa., www.varcoethomasfuneral home.com. In celebration of her life and that of her husband, the family is designing a custom gravestone. In lieu of offering flowers, you are invited to contribute to this more lasting gift by sending donations to her executor, Mr. Kirk Bonamici, CPA, P.O. Box 6231, Monroe Township, NJ 08831. May Julia rest in peace, and may her example inspire many for generations to come. Obituaries Continued on Next Page
