At its meeting Monday night, April 25, Princeton Council decided more investigation is needed before voting to adopt the proposed 2016 municipal budget of $61.9 million. The governing body also tabled the introduction of an ordinance to establish a new Civil Rights Commission. Various options were discussed as ways to balance the budget. One would involve raising taxes by an extra $150,000 in 2016, which would add about $20 to the municipal portion of the average assessed home’s tax bill. That would keep the town from continuing to use money from its reserves, something some members of Council have warned against because of worries that it could impact the town’s AAA bond rating. Other options mentioned included a hiring freeze or rollback, an across-theboard cut spread among different departments, and cuts to Access Princeton and Princeton Public Library. At one point, Councilman Patrick Simon made a motion to cut the library budget by $16,000. He, Jenny Crumiller, and Jo Butler voted in favor while Lance Liverman voted against it (Heather Howard and Bernie Miller had recused themselves because of ties to the library). “It seems ludicrous to cut anyone’s budget without looking at the limitations that would cause,” said Mr. Liverman. “The library is the one place in town that is welcoming to everybody.” The motion was later overturned when it was determined that legally, four “yes” votes are needed for the measure to pass. Municipal administrator Marc Dashield said across-the-board cuts would be a bad idea, adding that alternatives such as a hiring freeze are being considered. Another public hearing on the budget will be held at the May 9 Council meeting. Regarding the formation of a Civil Rights Commission, Council heard from members of the town’s Human Services Commission about whether to introduce the measure, even though questions about how much power it would have were still under discussion. The municipal attorney’s statement that the Commission would serve in a largely advisory role, and would have no special authority, caused some to caution that it would have “no teeth.” Continued on Page 14

Edens: Shopping Center Is “Princeton’s Second Downtown”

Edens, the company that has owned Princeton Shopping Center since 2012, is committed to “catering to the community,” the company’s vice president of development David Germakian told Princeton Council at a meeting of the governing body Monday night. Mr. Germakian said that Edens, which owns 120 retail centers along the east coast and in Texas, sees the shopping center as “Princeton’s second downtown.” But some members of Council and the public expressed concern about the direction in which the 60-year-old shopping center on North Harrison Street is headed. Mr. Germakian was at the meeting to give an update on ongoing construction and renovations at the shopping center, which he said should be completed by next September. Edens’ recent decision to not renew the lease of Jordan’s, a popular stationery and gift store that has been at the center for more than three decades, has touched a nerve among residents who count on the complex for basic services. “What I think people fear is that you’re hoping for high-end stores instead of

useful ones, like Jordan’s,” said Council member Jenny Crumiller. “Will you have any bargain-type stores?” Local resident Anne Neumann, a candidate for a seat on Council, commented that most Princetonians don’t shop in the downtown, instead patronizing stores at the shopping center for hardware, groceries, laundry, and other services. “I hope you’ll take back to your management [these thoughts] about turning Princeton Shopping Center into too much of an upscale center,” she said.

“We like it the way it is.” “This is our local shopping center,” added resident Kip Cherry. “It’s not MarketFair. It’s not New York City. I’m just concerned that we may be missing the mark.” Mr. Germakian responded, “We want to continue in the form [the shopping center] was conceived. Local is very much something we see as the vision for the shopping center, with some national retailers mixed in.” Continued on Page 13

Road and Stuart Road East. Ms. Stockton was hired as the assistant township engineer under Mr. Kiser in 2000. After two years, she relocated to the Netherlands due to her husband’s job assignment. In 2005, she returned and resumed her position, where she has remained since. She and her husband live in Montgomery Township with their two daughters, who are in middle school. Known for her ability to work with staff, members of government, residents, and Princeton University, Ms. Stockton has been successful in securing multiple funding grants for the municipality to reconstruct roads, fix traffic signals, create a bicycle master plan, and establish a federally funded bike share plan with the University. According to Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield, the position was open to all internal candidates. The plan is to replace the assistant engineer position. Ms. Stockton will lead a department of 11 and work closely with municipal land use engineer Jack West when she takes over the job from Mr. Kiser, who is retiring after 33 years. “I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to follow in Bob Kiser’s footsteps as the next municipal engineer and look forward to leading our outstanding staff in serving the Princeton community,” she said in a press release. “Exceeding the elected officials’ and residents’ expectations is a role that we strive to achieve every day, and we will continue working to improve the municipality’s infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for our residents.” Before coming to Princeton, Ms. Stockton worked for LDC Design Group of Hillsboro, Oregon, as their director of engineering. She graduated magna cum laude from Santa Clara University, California, with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. She is a licensed engineer in New Jersey and Oregon and currently serves as second vice president of the Professional Engineers Society of Mercer County. —Anne Levin

There were no additional dead fish visible there on Monday morning. Streamwatch coordinator for the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association Erin Stretz observed that water quality in Lake Carnegie, as measured on April 16, was normal, diminishing the likelihood of low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels as a cause for the die-off. When water warms up, she explained, it cannot hold as much DO, and fish can die as a result. The Watershed monitoring did reveal a somewhat elevated pH level — 8.5 rather than the normal 7, and “Fish are sensitive to changes in pH level,” Ms. Stretz said. She suggested the possibility of bacterial infection, possibly caused by fertilizers, pesticide, or road salt washing into the lake. Ms. Stretz expects the DEP test results to provide answers to questions about the stressors that are causing the fish die-off.

“My favorite play is Hamlet because I’m an actor and it’s a role like nothing else, it’s so rich. My favorite production is a play of his that I don’t normally like but I saw it at the Stratford on Avon Festival in Canada. It was The Taming of the Shrew. It was the first time I saw Shakespeare when I understood everything, and we were falling off our seats with laughter it was just so much fun. It was the first time, after acting for many years, I felt very proud to be an actor and I’ve been passionate about Shakespeare ever since.” Christopher Councill, Princeton

rected by a former student; as a musician, conductor, and composer with the National Dance Institute under the direction of Jacques D’Amboise; as music director at Foundation Theater in Burlington; as pianist for the summer arts program at the Peddie School; as conductor and keyboardist for the Ice Capades; leading his band at a wedding; at the Nassau Inn where he was house pianist for eight years; at any one of dozens of clubs, restaurants and hotels, jazz concerts and parties in the New Jersey-New York-Pennsylvania area where he has performed or in the classrooms and rehearsal and performance halls where he has taught at Phillip’s Academy (Andover, Massachusetts), Westminster Conservatory, the Peddie School, Mercer County Community College, and throughout the Princeton Public Schools (PPS). “There’s no greater gig than teaching kids,” said Steve, now working with third, fourth and fifth graders at Littlebrook and Riverside. “It’s not a job. It’s a calling. It’s the greatest thing to introduce young kids to music. I find that I have the heart of a ten-year-old. This work keeps me young — and having my type of personality really helps with the job that I do.” Peg Banks, Steve’s colleague in elementary music education at PPS, stated, “Steve infuses his teaching

ARTIST, TEACHER, PERFORMER: Steve Kramer reflects on his exciting career as performer and teacher—from jazz clubs, wedding bands and the “Ice Capades” to Littlebrook and Riverside Elementary Schools. with his incredible musical experiences delivered with a big helping of his fantastic sense of humor and his interesting life experiences (he really should write a book). His students enjoy his classes and return year after year to visit and thank him for his encouragement and artistry.” Steve grew up in Trenton, where “music was always big in my house. There was always a lot of music going on, whether it was opera or jazz or Broadway.” He started piano lessons at age 11, at the instigation of his grandmother, then “by about age 14 I started to love jazz. Because I had a good ear and loved jazz, I assimilated the music naturally.”

Influential Teachers Thomas Passerella and Thomas Grice, music teachers at Trenton High School, welcomed Steve into the music room and helped him to shape his future career. He would get a pass from study hall to go to the music room, where he’d sit down at the electric piano, “and Mr. Passerella and Mr. Grice would work with me. Those guys were so great. They were very, very encouraging to young musicians.” Steve played with several different bands during his high school years, eventually trading in his Hammond organ for a Fender Rhodes piano and joining a jazz fusion group, where the group’s older and more experienced drummer, Dick Wilshaw, introduced him to the realities of the business side of the music world. Though originally his passion was theater, when it came time to apply to college, Steve decided to go to music school, and, at the urging of one of his best friends, applied to and was accepted at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Thrown into competition there with a range of musicians who had been classically trained, most of whom had a significant head start — “these guys can really play!” — he doubled down

on h is musical com m itments. “I practiced like a maniac for those years in college, and summers when I came home I would practice for six hours on Saturday and Sunday, and, during the week, I would come home from my job and practice for about two hours.” During his last year at college, Steve took on a parttime job teaching jazz piano at Andover Academy, and after college started playing gigs in the Boston area. He became the piano player at a comedy club, the Comedy Connection, then picked up additional jobs in the Boston theater district. He continued to teach at Andover one or two days a week, and toured with a couple of shows. Artie Shaw Band A breakthrough in his performing career came in the mid 1980s when the legendary big band leader Ar tie Shaw came out of retirement and auditioned local Boston musicians for spots in his new band. Steve got hired and for the next two years he toured all over the country, plus a trip to Berlin, with the New Artie Shaw Band. His first encounter with the 75-year-old Mr. Shaw was tense. “Before we went Continued on Next Page

That’s ok, but people aren’t going to remember that,’ and he said, ‘This is what people are going to remember,’ and in par t of my solo I slowed dow n and it was more melodic, and he said, ‘That’s what people are going to remember — not all the other stuff.’” “I n e ve r for g ot t h at,” Steve reflected. “It has influenced the way I’ve played ever since.” A two-year stint as conductor and keyboardist with the Ice Capades followed the Artie Shaw tour, then Steve decided to head back to his home base in New Jersey, where he helped out in the family bakery business in Trenton, created a wedding band, taught parttime at Westminster Choir College, and worked as the house pianist at the Nassau Inn, among other jobs. From Stage to Classroom It was at the Nassau Inn that Steve met Princeton High School band director Tony Biancosino, who heard him play, and, in 1996 s ig n e d h i m on to teach in a cons er vator y run by Mr. Biancosino and his w ife. The next ques tion from Mr. Biancosino was “Did you ever think about teaching at a public school?” After going for an interview, “all of a sudden toward the end of the summer of 1998, I got a phone call saying, ‘you’re hired.’ So the next thing I knew I’m get t ing up at si x in the morning and going to the high school and teaching a jazz theor y course and directing a couple of bands.” This part-time work soon turned into a full-time job, as Steve saw his talents in demand throughout the district. He eventually settled in at Littlebrook and Riverside, but still teaches jazz piano at PHS and stays involved with various bands throughout the district.

as much as I used to. I can pick and choose the music I want to play. I devote my energies to being a teacher.” As teacher of woodwinds and brass at Riverside and Littlebrook, he noted, “We start the kids. It’s such a wonderful thing because the kids are so open. There’s such an excitement about picking up an instrument and learning to play it. The practicing is always the biggest challenge. But they’re so excited about it. He went on to describe t h e fe e d e r s y s te m t h a t m ove s you n g m u s i c ia n s from the elementar y music groups into the middle school then the high school. “It’s a great joy to see the kids who stick with music play in the middle school and high school. A couple of weeks ago I was emcee for a jazz festival in Princeton. I looked behind me and I saw all those kids who started with me when they were eight years old, and it’s great — extremely rewarding. I feel ver y proud, as a parent would, because I started a lot of these kids.” Realizing t hat most of his students will probably not go on to become professional musicians, Steve emphasized the importance of “just sharing the joy of music. They’re always going to have music in their lives and that’s the great thing. They’ll be the adults who support music.” He described his music classroom as “a safe haven, where they can be themselves and be creative and discover music and humor and where they can have a good time.” Ref lecting on the most important lessons the students might lear n in his classes, Steve concluded, “My students may not remember everything that I taught them, but they’re going to remember how they felt when they left my classroom. That’s going to be a good feeling that they will carry with them throughout their entire lives.” —Donald Gilpin

Mailbox Tim Quinn’s Leadership on the Board Helped Save Princeton’s Pre-K Program

Heartening to See Planning Board Fulfilling Its Mission As True Steward for the Community

To the Editor: It was a heartening moment on Wednesday night when a majority of the Princeton Planning Board refused to be coerced into supporting an ill-conceived subdivision of a narrow lot fronting onto Jefferson road. Despite badgering from the applicant’s attorney, Planning Board members led by Jenny Crumiller, Liz Lempert, and Timothy Quinn courageously argued that “as of right” was never meant to sanction the drawing of zig-zag lot lines that violate very clearly stated guidelines. Instead of setting a dangerous precedent for the carving up of neighborhoods to maximize developers’ profits, the Planning Board fulfilled its mission of being a true steward for the community it serves. MArTIn KAHn Jefferson road

To the Editor: Princeton’s Council needs the skilled, experienced, and fiscally responsible leadership of Tim Quinn. As former members of the Princeton Board of Education, we saw firsthand his consensus building, and genuine respect for our town. His leadership on the Board helped save Princeton’s pre-K program and improved its focus on vulnerable and under-represented students. He helped Princeton buck the state trend of charging for sports participation or reducing arts and music in schools. Instead of taking the easy way out, he steered the Board toward thoughtful and fiscally responsible solutions to budget pressures. Tim is a civic-minded and collaborative leader. We urge Princeton residents to support Tim Quinn for Princeton To the Editor: Council. We are supporting Jenny Crumiller in the upcoming AnnE Burns Democratic primary election. Jenny has a strong record Baldwin Lane of promoting progressive values, from her decades-long support and involvement with the nAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Princeton Committee, her anti-war I BUY ALL WATCHES activities, her opposition to the use of torture, and her support for progressive Democratic candidates, to her current WRIST & POCKET work on the Council. SINGLE PIECES TO Jenny brought forth Princeton’s resolution supporting the Anti-Corruption Act, which is federal campaign finance ENTIRE COLLECTIONS reform legislation. Princeton became the first town in new Jersey to pass this resolution, which now has growing support across the country. she also introduced an antiTHOMAS J. PETRINO fracking ordinance and a resolution opposing the pipeline TJP827@AOL.COM on the ridge and calling for additional safety measures. she has supported anti-wage theft measures as well as 609-924-7277 policies limiting local police involvement in immigration

enforcement. she is pro-environment and supported the composting program as well as preserving open space on the ridge. As the newly consolidated town was forming its new police department, she brought the ACLu-nJ in to consult with the council and promote recommended police practices for the department. she compelled the police to include race and gender statistics for police stops in their monthly police reports. she promoted a police ride-along program so that Council members as well as members of the public could ride along on a police shift to promote transparency in policing. Jenny is currently a strong supporter of the earned sick leave ordinance, brought to Princeton by the Working Families Alliance, which would require Princeton employers to provide paid time off when employees are sick or need to care for a sick family member, a fair and humane measure that in our view is required by human decency. We agree with these positions and that’s why Jenny has earned our enduring respect and our strongest support in this election. We encourage fellow Democrats to vote for Jenny on June 7.

Leticia Fraga Combines a “Can Do” Attitude With a Natural Knack for Relating to People

To the Editor: When I hear that someone is running for Princeton Council, the skeptic in me naturally wonders: Why? It’s an oftenthankless job that probably pays about $3 an hour. I didn’t have any questions when I heard Leticia Fraga was running. I’ve known Leticia for more than 10 years, and her life’s work has been about helping others — bringing together people to make her community a better place. Her reward is simply the inherent satisfaction that comes from solving problems. If that all sounds a little too sentimental for your political tastes, please understand that Leticia also has the experience and is willing to do the hard work to get things done. Her career includes serving as a professional civil rights enforcement investigator and facilitator, resolving cases that saved taxpayers hundred of thousands of dollars. As a volunteer in Princeton, she has helped launch programs that have provided meals to underprivileged children and ID cards to underrepresented adults. In short, Leticia combines a “can do” attitude with a natural knack for relating to people from all backgrounds. If you want a Council member who is interested in accountability, affordability, and social justice, vote for Leticia Fraga in the Democratic Primary on June 7. CHrIs JoHnson Benjamin rush Lane

Another Point of View On How to Deal With the Invasion of Lesser Celandine

To the Editor: We read avidly stephen Hiltner’s letter in the April 13 issue of Town Topics [“By Taking our Local nature’s Problems seriously, We Also Build Community”]. our garden yard and woods are filled with the “little yellow flower,” definitely an invasion. However, the solutions suggested by Mr. Hiltner are not good ideas. Checking further with You Bet Your Garden, I learned: roundup’s active ingredient glyphosate, is not toxic, but the surfactants and other so-called ‘inert’ ingredients can wipe out frogs, toads, and other amphibians. so while attempting to eliminate one invasive plant we could be inadvertently killing fragile species that are being threatened already. In addition, roundup may not even be effective against lesser celandine: a few years ago I tried it on a small patch and the plants barely blinked and then continued to thrive. I agree that it would be helpful for everyone who sees first signs of lesser celandine to dig them up and throw them in the trash, not the compost pile. That seems to be the only effective approach not harmful to wetland species. rEv. CAroL s. HAAG ridgeview Circle

Several storefronts at the shopping center are currently empty. But since taking over four years ago, Edens has renewed or extended almost half of the leases at the center, Mr. Germakian said. Asked by Councilwoman Heather Howard about Princeton laundromat, which is the only laundry facility in town, he said it has been renewed with a long term lease. Nomad Pizza is targeted to open next month in the former gas station, Mr. Germakian said. Barring bad weather, the parking lot work along North Harrison Street should be completed in two weeks. The repaving and repairing of the parking lots, better circulation, new LED lighting, enhanced landscaping, and expanded walkways are among the planned improvements. Councilman Bernie Miller asked about improved connectivity in Grover Park, at the rear of the center. Mr. Germakian said the t wo ends of the park will be joined by sidewalks and a pedestr ian walkway w ill funnel into the middle of the complex. Councilman Lance Liverman observed that the shopping center is not just about stores. “It’s not just a bricks and mortar place. It’s a place to meet,” he said, referring to the family-oriented events such as concerts and film screenings that are held on the green. Mr. Germakian assured him that those events will continue. Making a brief, emotional statement to Council before Mr. Germakian gave his presentation, Jordan’s longtime owner Lewis Wildman said, “It has been an honor to have been here for 34 years. I hope the shopping center stays community-oriented, somehow.” Mr. Wildman got a round of applause, and Mayor Lempert said, “Jordan’s is a favorite of everybody.” —Anne Levin

Book on Ganges Discussed April 28

Anthony Acciavatti will be at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, April 28 , at 6 p.m. for a discussion of his new book, Ganges Water Machine : Designing New India’s Ancient River, which was awarded the John Brinckerhoff Jackson Book Prize for 2016. Ganges Water Machine is an atlas of the Ganges River basin — the first such comprehensive atlas in half a century. It is based on a decade of fieldwork and archival research begun when t he aut hor was a 2005 Fulbright Fellow. Having mapped the Ganges River by foot and boat, Mr. Acciavatti will speak about developing new modes of mapping environmental change and about data visualization. He will also give an account of the intersection of concerns over irrigation, population, geography, and climate. At a time when the Government of India is beginning to invest a $1.5 billion loan from the World Bank to clean up the Ganges River, the book and an accompanying traveling exhibition can serve as a guidebook to better understand and respond to environmental conditions and their social impacts. Anthony Acciavatti is a historian, an architect, and car tographer. He is t he founding editor of Manifest: A Journal of American Architecture and Urbanism. His work has been published in the New York Times, Cabinet, Architectural Design, and Topos among other places. He currently teaches at Columbia University and is a PhD candidate in Princeton’s history department.

Alexander Nehamas and Thomas Laqueur will discuss Mr. Nehamas’s new book, On Friendship, at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday, May 3 at 6 p.m. In On Friendship, philosopher Alexander Nehamas explores the long history of philosophical thinking on the subject, from Aristotle to Emerson and beyond, and drawing on examples from literature, art, drama, and his own life, shows that for centuries, friendship was as much a public relationship as it was a private one — inseparable from politics and commerce, favors, and perks. Alexander Nehamas is a professor of philosophy at Princeton University and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His books include Only a Promise of Happiness: the Place of Beauty in a World of Art, Nietzsche: Life as Literature, and The Art of Living: Socratic Reflections from Plato to Foucault, among others. Thomas Laqueur is professor of history at the University of Berkeley.

Leticia Fraga, a candidate for Council who chairs the Human Services Commission’s subcommittee on civil rights, asked that the ordinance be tabled because it is incomplete. John Heilner, a member of the subcommittee, said he was disappointed to see that a key piece of what the group had recommended was missing despite unanimous approval by the Human Services Commission. He suggested providing “a completely independent, neutral commission with the capability to mediate civil rights cases. We should not be satisfied to fall back on the easy way out, with education and outreach the only tools at our disposal,” he said. Mr. Liverman, who was a member of an earlier Civil Rights Commission that was founded by former Princeton Borough Mayor Jim Floyd in 1968, was in favor of introducing the ordinance. “We can always amend or add to this, but I want to see a Civil Rights Commission begin,” he said. “There are ways to make this work. Let’s start something.” But Council voted to table the ordinance until its full purpose is worked out. —Anne Levin

Princeton Police Officer Speaks At Police Officer Graduation

Mercer County dignitaries and law enforcement officials from around the County gathered April 22 at Mercer County Community College to celebrate the graduation of the 14th basic class of police officers from the Mercer Police Academy. An audience of several hundred family members, friends, and members of a number of law enforcement agencies saw the class of 51 cadets receive graduation certificates to officially make them police officers. Alex Kaufmann, a Hopewell resident who will join the Princeton police depar tment, was chosen by his fellow graduates as class speaker. He said that he and his classmates persevered through 21 weeks of training to answer a call — their desire to help others in need. “When you need help, we will come,” he said. “When you or someone beside you are ill, we will aid. When you’re lost or forgotten, we will find you. When there is danger, we will go to it. When there is the unknown, we will push forward. And when you need us, we will be there.” The commencement was held inside the gymnasium. Many cadets wore the uniforms of the respective law enforcement agency each will join; seven cadets were alternate route trainees who attended the academy at their own expense and now can pursue employment as certified police officers. The graduates underwent 21 weeks of training at the academy in all aspects of law enforcement and will now serve in many differe nt p ol i ce d ep ar t m e nt s within Mercer County and elsewhere. The cadets are the 14th police class of the academy, which was created in October 2006 and provides a facility and resources to train law enforcement recruits in Mercer County. The academy is located on the

grounds of MCCC. Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes offered his congratulations to the graduates, many of whom reside outside of Mercer County, and thanked them for choosing to serve and protect the public. “Our society depends on a thing called the Thin Blue Line,” Mr. Hughes said. “The Thin Blue Line is made up of men and women who are willing and able and ready to devote their time and effort — their lives — to keeping the peace within our communities. And for that I want to thank each and every one of the cadets sitting in front of me here today.” During training, the class studied in disciplines such as use of force, firearms, vehicle pursuit, hostage negotiation, advanced crime scene processing, and domestic violence prevention, among others. Several cadets received awards at the graduation ceremony for their excellence in training. Among them were Jonathan Myzie, Princeton Police Department, receiving the firearms qualification award; and Toni Mahotiere, Princeton Police Department, who shared the physical training award.

Police Blotter On April 21, at 6:38 a.m., a resident of Greenbriar Row reported that on April 20, someone made unauthorized charges on her credit card at a store in North Brunswick. The Detective Bureau is investigating. On April 21, at 7:26 a.m., a 15-year-old bicyclist was traveling south on Jefferson Road approaching Valley Road when a vehicle driven by a 76-year-old female from Princeton struck the bicycle as it entered the intersection. The bicyclist was ejected from the bike and landed on the ground. She sustained injuries to her left arm and leg as well as to her right hand and face.

“He Has Made Us Who We Are” — 400 Years Later Shakespeare Prevails

A

s Big Ben rang the first hour of January 1, 2014, the skies over London were overwhelmed by a fireworks display of such scope and magnitude, I was sure the occasion had to be something greater than the beginning of another year. At a loss for superlatives worthy of the spectacle, I remembered a night when I stood outside the newly reborn Globe Theatre between acts of As You Like It gazing at the floodlit dome of St. Paul, my head swimming with Shakespeare. Of course, that was it. The only word for all that glory at the midnight hour, in that place, was Shakespeare. At the time I didn’t know that the year 2014 brought with it the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, a connection also ironically unremarked by the organizers of a New Year’s show that had been touted as “multi-sensory,” an orgy of orange-flavored smoke, strawberry mist, peach snow, and 40,000 grams of edible banana confetti. Whatever it was, celebratory serendipity or a happy coincidence, the timely grandeur of the display made Shakespearean sense. Like any reader who has explored the plays and witnessed time and again the uncanny inner coherence of a literary wonder in which metaphors, themes, motifs, poetry and prose chime, connect, and fall into place, I could appreciate the dimensions of the phenomenon. When I was a grad student in English at Rutgers, the term of choice was “close reading,” but with Shakespeare it was more like theology. In his Memoirs, Hector Berlioz, who composed the choral symphony Roméo et Juliette, writes of the death of his wife, Harriet Smithson, the Irish actress with whom he fell in love watching her play Juliet and Ophelia: “Shakespeare! Shakespeare! I feel as if he alone of all men who ever lived can understand me, must have understood us both; he alone could have pitied us, poor unhappy artists, loving yet wounding each other. Shakespeare! … It is you that are our father, our father in heaven, if there is a heaven …. Thou alone for the souls of artists art the living and loving God.” Finding a Cure Although reading Shakespeare was what made me a true believer, it was seeing Hamlet in person that cured me of acute Barditus, a disease that had begun with the condensed versions of Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet in high-school textbooks and my sense, however benighted and uninformed, that the actors performing the plays tended to be a tiresome bunch of preening hams mouthing pompous gibberish. Then, a few years out of college where a deadly dull Shakespeare seminar had done little to ease my bias, I saw, up close, John Gielgud’s Broadway production of Hamlet with Richard Burton and was brought to my so-called senses, eyes and ears wide-open. And it only stands to reason that the crisis of the cure came when Burton’s fantastically potent Hamlet was instructing the players on how to “speak the speech” without resorting to the same excesses, the over-steppings and over-doings, that had aggravated the illness.

Nothing by Shakespeare that I’ve seen since has had the same impact, perhaps simply because the door Burton opened needed to be opened only that once. It’s true that I haven’t seen much live Shakespeare over the years: offhand, after that night at the Globe, I remember Peter Brooks’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Bristol Old Vic’s excellent Troilus and Cressida, Laurence Olivier’s Shylock in an embarrassingly flawed Victorian mounting of The Merchant of Venice. As for Shakespeare on film, there was Olivier’s brilliant Henry V, which I wrote about last year, and of course Orson Welles’s Macbeth, Othello, and, best of the lot, Chimes at Midnight, which will be shown in a newly restored version at the Garden on Monday, May 2. In America In addition to various editions of the Works, including my marked-to-the max paperback copies of Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear, the two books I’ve found the most pleasure in during this birth-todeath 2014-2016 celebrat ion are Harold Bloom’s T h e I nv e nt i o n of the Huma n and The Library of America’s ant holog y Shake speare in America, which has a foreword by Bill Clinton and which Meryl Streep calls a “t r e a s u r e … full of enthralling stories and weird coincidences.” To Oskar Eustis, artistic director of The Public Theatre, it’s a “brilliant anthology, hilarious, heartbreaking, and thrilling” in which Shakespeare becomes a battleground where Americans have “fought about race, anti-Semitism, and gender equality,” debating “class struggle and national independence” while forging “our national identity.” In other words, “He has made us who we are.” I suppose the making has to include all our heroes and villains, knaves, rogues and peasant slaves, clowns and kings, though I would never blame the Bard for the Donald, the Ted, and the Republican Congress whose members, as Hamlet puts it, “have so strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of nature’s journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.” Speaking of Congress, our ex-president’s foreword mentions how George Washington “left the haggling at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia” to see a production of The Tempest, a play thought of as Shakespeare’s swan song and said to have among its sources the wreck of a

ship on its way to the Virginia colony in 1609. Clinton also refers to the visit to the Bard’s birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon paid by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who “fell upon the ground and kissed it,” according to Abigail Adams. “The Thing Itself” One of the anthology’s most fervent appreciations of Shakespeare comes from a young Willa Cather, who writes that if she were asked the answer of “the riddle of things,” she would say “Shakespeare”: “For him alone it was worth while that a planet should be called out of Chaos and a race formed out of nothingness.” A few years later Cather reviews a touring production of Antony and Cleopatra in which “Kleo-paw-tra” is played by “a coy kittenish matron, bunched up on a moth-eaten tiger stroking Mark Antony’s double chin … I have seen waiters in restaurants who were ten times more queenly. Her movements were exactly those of the women who give you Turkish baths in Chicago …. And the queer little motions she made when she put that imaginary snake in her b os om, it w as so suggestive of fleas.” Cat her’s putdow n is wor t h reading if only because it leads her to a celebration of “the only Cleopatra on earth worth the seeing, the royal Egyptian of Sarah Bernhardt,” with her “face of flame, every inch a queen and always a woman.” After rhapsodizing about how “her eyes burned like a tiger’s and her very flesh seemed to cleave to her bones,” Cather appears to give up: “but bah! it is not possible to describe it. It was like the lightning which flashes and terrifies and is gone.” But there’s more, about how Bernhardt makes “you feel within yourself how she loves and how she hates,” giving you “those moments of absolute reality of experience, of positive knowledge that are the test of all great art. The thing itself is in her, the absolute quality that all books write of, all songs sing of, all men dream of, that only one in hundreds ever knows or realizes. It leaps up and strikes you between the eyes, makes you hold your breath and tremble.” The energ y and excitement taking Cather beyond the conventions of a mere review communicate a first-hand sense of the power of Shakespeare flowing through the medium of a great actress, the flame, the lightning, the absolute, “the thing itself.”

The Size of Life Another American writer who encountered Shakespeare when touring companies came to his hometown was William Dean Howells. And like Willa Cather, he admits there was a supreme moment in his youth when he found himself thinking “the creation of Shakespeare was as great as the creation of a planet.” In the Ohio town where he grew up, where “printers in the old-time offices were always spouting Shakespeare,” Howells knew the plays both on the stage and on the page, when he and a boyhood friend read them together in editions borrowed from the town library. But as much as he liked seeing the plays performed (“There have been few joys for me comparable to that of seeing the curtain rise on Hamlet”), they “are neither worse nor better because of the theatre. They are so great that it cannot hamper them; they are so vital that they enlarge it to their own proportions and endue it with something of their own living force. They make it the size of life.” Referring to people “who say that they would rather not see Shakespeare played than to see him played ill,” Howells finds that the Bard “can better afford to be played ill than any other man that ever wrote. Whoever is on the stage it is always Shakespeare who is speaking to me.” Performances Shakespeare in America offers a range of witnessed performances, including those of Ira Aldridge, a black actor who played not only Othello but Hamlet and Shylock to great acclaim on the London stage in the 1820s; Edwin Booth, whose mid-19th-century Hamlet “possessed the indescribable poetic element which fascinates, and the spiritual quality which made it the ready instrument of ‘airs from heaven and blasts from hell.’”; the 1922 production of Hamlet featuring John Barrymore (“one of the glories of our theatre”); Paul Robeson’s Othello (“The deeply shaken audience that could not stop cheering the greatest people’s artist of America was at the same time proclaiming an epochal event in the history of our culture”); Orson Welles in Chimes at Midnight, as seen in 1967 by Pauline Kael, who finds that Welles “seems to have grown into his voice; he’s not too young for it any more, and he’s certainly big enough …. Though his Falstaff is short on comedy, it’s very rich, very full”; and Hollis Alpert’s take on Marlon Brando as “a magnificent Antony” in the 1953 M-GM film of Julius Caesar. Obama at the Globe s for timing, celebratory serendipity, inner coherence, and happy coincidence, how about America’s April 23 visit to Shakespeare in the person of President Obama? He didn’t buss the boards of the reconstructed Globe like Jefferson kissing the ground at Stratford, but he was on the stage for the 400th anniversary watching actors perform scenes from Hamlet, including a black actor’s recital of the “To be or not to be” soliloquy. —Stuart Mitchner

“TICK TOCK, DRIP DROP”: This lithography with chine collé and hand coloring by Eileen Foti is included in the West Windsor Arts Council’s “Generation Next” exhibit. From May 2 until June 9, the gallery will feature six established artists who selected one emerging artist to exhibit with them.

WWAC “Generation Next” Exhibition

West Windsor Arts Council (WWAC) presents its annual “Generation Next” exhibit featuring original artwork by up-and-coming artists with a twist. This year WWAC invited six “established ” artists to exhibit their work and choose one “up-andcoming” artist to exhibit with them. The works are on display May 2 – July 9, 2016 with an opening reception May 15, 4-6 p.m. Curated by ar t is t and WWAC Exhibition Committee member Kathleen Liao and Executive Director Aylin Green, this exhibition takes a fresh look at how we learn about new artists to watch and the best way to shine a spotlight on their work. “One of the goals of this show has always been to find new talent and to encourage artists in their development. By inviting established artists to select and exhibit alongside them, we hope to bring this experience to a new level.” says Green. “The artists in this exhibition are all at different places in their development. We found that as a whole, who was established and who was up-and-coming was actually really relative. This exhibition features talented and hard-working artists at all stages.” Showcasing various media and styles in art today, exhibiting artists listed in pairs by established and up-and-coming include: Jon Naar and Alina Bliach, Eve Ingalls and Goia von Staden, Zhiyuan Cong and Eileen Foti, Will “Kasso” Condry and Chelsea Perron, Frank Rivera and Kyle Stevenson, Cynthia Groya and Aleta J. Wolfe. The media they work in ranges from photography to oil painting, to mixed media, spray paint, lithographs, and more. During the reception on May 15, visitors will have the oppor tunit y to meet and hear from the artists as they speak about their work in an informal gallery talk format. Light refreshments will be served. The West Windsor Arts Council’s mission is to provide professional quality community arts programming in order to support, educate, inspire, and promote the arts and art appreciation for all. Founded in 2002, the West Windsor Arts Council opened the doors of the West Windsor Arts Center in 2010 in the

historic Princeton Junction Firehouse at 952 Alexander Road, West Windsor. For information on the West Windsor Arts Council and West Windsor Arts Center, please visit www. westwindsorarts.org.

Autism Awareness Art At PEAC

PEAC Health & Fitness is featuring artwork from local artists James Hogarth and Tyler Bell for the month of April. Their work will be displayed in recognition of Autism Awareness Month. James Hogar th discovered his love of drawing at age four, a hobby that has continued into adulthood. James’s drawings usually portray common objects, people, and animals; and markers and pens are his favorite medium. “He is extremely detail oriented in his drawings,” said his father, Charlie Hogarth. “He has an original and colorful way of interpreting his subjects.” James’s artwork has been featured on Toys R Us holiday cards and tote bags. He resides with his family in Bridgewater. Tyler Bell has been visually oriented since he was young, and painting provides him with a joyful and creative outlet for expression that contrasts with his difficulties with language. “Tyler’s paintings represent his wonderful sense of color, as well as his unique perspective on life,” said his mother, Liz Bell. His paintings have been exhibited at Hopewell Valley Vineyards, Small World Coffee, Sumo Sushi, and Hopewell Valley Bistro, as well as sold at a variety of charity events across the country. Inspired by Tyler’s expression through art, his family opened a for-purpose boutique and gallery called Chance on Main in Pennington in 2015. Tyler and his family reside in Pennington. “We are glad to feature artwork by Tyler and James again,” said Michael Briehler, PEAC president. “We enjoy having them as part of

MUSIC REVIEW

Princeton University Orchestra Presents Strauss and Shostakovich in Closing Concert

E

ach year, the Stuart B. Mindlin Memorial Concerts at Princeton University have brought together the University Orchestra with other ensembles and guest soloists. This year, conductor Michael Pratt and the orchestra chose to go it alone, presenting two major symphonic works which not only showed off the ensemble’s collective sound, but also gave many of the student musicians the chance to play elegant solos. Richard Strauss and Dmitri Shostakovich were two powerhouse composers of the late 19th and 20th centuries, and their symphonic works made full use of every instrumental resource in the orchestras of the times. Strauss’s 1889 tone poem Tod und Verklärung, Op. 24 fit right into the symphonic trend toward the end of the 19th century of bigger is better. The University Orchestra warmup to last Thursday night’s performance (the concert was repeated Saturday night) was a sign of top volume to come, yet the ensemble’s performance was surprisingly restrained and delicate when necessary as Strauss’s love story unfolded. Mr. Pratt began the work with care as Emily DeJong’s graceful bassoon solo complemented instrumental “heartbeats” in the strings. Mr. Pratt kept the lid on orchestral volume in the opening Largo section, and the audience could hear the instruments coming to life. Ms. DeJong was joined in solo lines by concertmaster Jessie Chen, flutist Queenie Luo, and English hornist Ethan Petno. The lower strings came to the forefront in the second movement, accompanied by clean brass in which one could hear the struggle within Strauss’s programmatic tone poem. Mr. Pratt kept his conducting gestures clean, controlling the mood well and creating an impression in the final movement of the sun rising. Mr. Pratt paired the Strauss work with a towering work with a strong musical political statement from the 20th century. Dmitri Shostakovich was under continual watch by repressive arts officials of the

Russian regime, and his 1937 Symphony No. 5 in D minor was a subtle compositional response to criticism that his music did not fit the accepted mold. The symphony began darkly in the lower strings, accompanied by solos from oboist Tiffany Huang, flutist Nicole Odzowski, and clarinetist Paul Chang. This background, with a simple melody in the violins, seemed to reflect the turbulence of the times in which the piece was written. The orchestra emphasized well a pulsating rhythm in the celli and double basses under a lush sectional viola melody. The military nature of the piece could be well heard, and the music could easily have turned chaotic, but did not. An especially sweet section was heard with flutist Ms. Odzowski and hornist Nivanthi Karunaratne, accompanied by chords from the harp. The second movement Allegretto was light and airy, but with a feeling that something was not quite right in what Shostakovich was trying to convey — as if all seemed well, but insiders knew otherwise. hroughout the concert, unusual effects were apparent in the seating of musicians playing at any given time; for instance, the third movement opened with seven back-chair violins playing against lower strings, with the reverent sound slowly moving forward to the front-chair strings. The texture was icy, with an almost imperceptible oboe solo topping the sound. The closing movement was the most military, with a rich horn solo from Ms. Karunaratne and a sectional violin melody full of pathos and mourning. Despite the circumstances under which the symphony was composed, the work does end in joy, and the piece was well received at its premiere by both public and officials. It was a triumph then, and as a closing performance of the University Orchestra’s 2015-16 season, it was equally as triumphant and a celebration of the young musicians within the orchestra. —Nancy Plum

Twyla Tharp McCarter Announces Full 2016-17 Schedule

McCarter Theatre Center is pleased to announce its full schedule of 2016 -17 dance, music, and signature presented series. An eclectic mix of the world’s greatest

musicians, dance companies, and performing artists are on tap, including several returning favorites and McCarter debuts. All McCarter presented series bring artists of the highest caliber to Princeton, and is curated by Special Programming Director William W. Lockwood, the driving force behind McCarter Theatre Center’s reputation as one of the premiere arts presenters in the country. Twyla Tharp’s 50th Anniversary Tour on February 28 will include several new works. The first, Preludes and Fugues, is set to music from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier; while the second, Yowzie, is a wildly comic work whose music is New Orleans jazz, largely old Jelly Roll Morton songs recently recorded by the pianist Henry Butler, Steven

Bernstein, and the Hot 9. Tharp characterizes Preludes and Fugues as “the world as it ought to be,” and Yowzie as “the world as it is.” Other notable performances include Fela! The Concert, Chris Botti, Anoushka Shankar, Imogen Cooper, Kirill Gerstein, Jessica Lang Dance, State Ballet Theatre of Russian, A Year with Frog and Toad, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Laurie Berkner Band, and much more. Single tickets covering presented events from September through December 2016 will go on sale to the general public on July 25, 2016. On-sale dates for 2017 will be announced later.

concert performed in honor of Arnold H. Snider, III and featuring Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Hiraeth, a multimedia work co - com m is sioned by the PSO with the North Carolina Symphony. Also on the program to be conducted by PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov at Richardson Auditorium are Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Over ture, Johann Strauss, Jr.’s Wine, Women, and Song, Op. 333, and Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite, Op. 59. On Tuesday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m., musicians of the PSO will perform Snider’s critically acclaimed work Penelope which features text by play wright Ellen McLaughlin sung by Carla Kihlstedt. John Devlin conducts the concert at Princeton High School’s Performing Arts Center, which caps the PSO’s season dedicated to the creativity of women. Sarah Kirkland Snider is the composer of the critically acclaimed song cycles Penelope and Unremembered. She was born and raised in Princeton, and played in the Princeton High School Orchestra. Snider’s multi-media work Hiraeth, recalls childhood visits to beloved grandparents in Salisbur y, Nor th Carolina and includes images of her family presented in a film shot on location in that state by Mark DiChiazza. Shortly after beginning the composition, her father Arnold H. Snider, III was diagnosed with cancer. Patrons and members will have an opportunity to hear Snider and Milanov discuss the performance of Hiraeth at the Saturday, May 14, Behind the Music of Sarah Kirkland Snider presentation at the Arts Council of Princeton’s Paul Robeson Center at 4 p.m. The May 17 concert program consists entirely of Snider’s song cycle Penelope, originally written as a music-theater monodrama by Ellen McLaughlin and Snider in 2007-08. Snider later re-wrote it as a song cycle for voice and chamber ensemble. Inspired by Homer’s character Penelope, the work explores themes of war, trauma, and homecoming, but it’s ultimately a story of relationships, passion, and healing. The May 15 Passion & Affection concert is sponsored by Joyce and Georg AlbersSchonberg and Melanie and John Clarke in honor of their friend and colleague Arnold H. Snider, III. The PSO’s performance of Hiraeth is supported in part by the Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy. Tickets for both performances are available at princetonsymphony.org and (609) 497-0020.

Pictured: Gala Co-Chairs Nora Decker and Beth Beers with spouses Keil Decker of BlackRock and David Beers of Goldman Sachs (Photo Credit: T. Kevin Birch)

The announcement of the 123rd Princeton University Concerts ( “PUC”) season also brings with it the announcement of a landmark event: the last time that the Takács String Quartet will perform the complete cycle of Beethoven’s string quartets, works for which they have famously set the gold standard in their interpretation. Having selected Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall as one of the three American venues in which the group will perform this extraordinary cycle, the Takács anchors the 2016-17 PUC season celebrating the pillars of the great classical music tradition — both as they have stood and as they evolve in the present day. This includes presenting the most revered artists in the field, of whom 15 are making their Princeton University Concerts debut. The Concert Classics Series includes the legendary pianist Murray Perahia; Europe’s most celebrated string ensemble, the Hagen String Quartet; and the long-awaited return of violinist Pamela Frank who will be joined by PUC favorite Christian Tetzlaff for a program of violin duos. In tune with PUC’s mission of presenting music in as vibrant a way as possible, for the first time the season will open not with the Concert Classics Series but with the new PUC125: Performances Up Close series launched last year. Joined by guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas, the young violinist Augustin Hadelich will treat an audience to an intimate concert experience. The Classics series launches a week later with mezzosoprano Jamie Barton, and 25-year-old Daniil Trifonov’s two-piano recital with his teacher, Sergei Babayan. With a special event featuring Béla Fleck and his wife Abigail Washburn to top off the season, PUC pays tribute to the diversity imbuing the core of music as it continues to shape and be a part of our traditions. In PUC’s tradition of commitment to accessibility, all programs in the 2016-17 season remain exceptionally affordable. Starting at just $10, ticket prices for the world’s best chamber music — performed in Richardson Auditorium remain the lowest in the region. The programs often include opportunities to engage the audience with the music with pre-concert talks given by musical scholars, musical previews by Princeton students, live music meditations, and opportunities to converse with the artists at receptions, post-concert discussions, and an annual “Late Night Chamber Jam.” Princeton University Concerts’ Director Marna Seltzer said: “This is the 5th full season that I have programmed and I am so proud of the way the organization has evolved, offering new experiences for a growing and curious audience. We’ve built on, and even redefined the ‘Classics,’ experimented with new formats such as the PUC125 Performances Up Close Series and introduced kids ages 3-12 to the joy of live music. I can now say that there really is something for everyone. Classical music is alive and well at Princeton and an experience with PUC

will convince you of that.” Subscriptions to the 20162017 season are now on sale. With more subscribers than PUC has seen in over 2 decades, interested individuals are highly encouraged to secure their tickets as early as possible. Subscribers often receive special discounts to events affiliated with PUC — including saving 10 percent off single ticket prices — and also to events sponsored by the Princeton University music department. Patrons can choose from a flexible variety of subscription packages online at princetonuniversityconcerts. org or by phone at (609) 258-2800, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ———

Miles Ahead

Cheadle Plays Legendary Jazz Great in Warts-and-all Biopic

D

on Cheadle has wanted to make a movie about the pain from a chronic hip condition. Things change when Dave Braden, a pushy Rolling Miles Davis (1926-1991) for over a decade. The result is a warts-and-all biopic chronicling some Stone reporter (Ewan McGregor), forces his way into of the highs and lows of the legendary trumpeter’s ca- Davis’s solitude in search of a scoop about a rumored comeback. Braden circumvents Davis’s dislike of journalreer. Cheadle not only produces, directs, and co-writes the ists by serving as his chauffeur and procuring cocaine movie, but he also plays the title character in a haunt- on his behalf. Of course, Braden has a hidden agenda, ing performance that convincingly portrays the spirit namely, gaining possession of the master tape of Miles’ of Miles — from his gravelly voice to his mercurial tem- next album — if it exists. As this is going on, Davis reminisces about his past, perament. Even though the impersonation is spot on, the surreal which leads to intermittent flashbacks — mostly about screenplay leaves a lot to be desired. The script eschews his tempestuous relationship with his first wife, Frances a conventional chronological approach to storytelling (Emayatzy Corinealdi). Unfortunately, Miles’s impressive in favor of a free form structure that shows a series of body of work is given short shrift. except for the handful vignettes that focus on his messy private life more than of classics on the soundtrack. Very Good (HHH). Rated R for drug use, nudity, sexuthe man’s music. The picture’s point of departure is 1975, when we find ality, brief violence, and profanity. Running time: 100 Miles in the midst of a self-imposed five year break from minutes. Studio: Crescendo Productions. Distributor: the music business. He spends his days barricaded in his Sony Pictures Classics. New York apartment consuming drugs in order to mask —Kam Williams

post-Holocaust Judeophobia in Europe at a public lecture at Rutgers on May 4. According to Dr. Judaken, there are four key elements that define this phenomenon : Holocaust denial, extreme left anti-Zionism, Islamist Judeophobia, and anti-Israeli anti-racism. He will talk about the so-called “New Anti-Semitism” and explore how anti-Jewish vitriol is framed by the punditocracy, which often distorts the public’s understanding of the reality on the ground. T h e t a l k , “Re c ko n i n g with Post-Holocaust AntiSemitism in Europe,” will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Douglass Campus Center, 100 George Street, New Brunswick. The lecture is free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life and the Center for European Studies at Rutgers University. Free parking is available behind the Campus Center. (For GPS search, use “57 Lipman Drive” ) Advance registration is requested by emailing csjlrsvp @ rci. rutgers.edu or calling (848) 932-2033. For more information, visit BildnerCenter. rutgers.edu. Dr. Judaken specializes in European cultural and intellectual history, Jews and Judaism, race and racism, existentialism, and post-Holocaust French philosophy. His publications include Jean-Paul Sartre and the Jewish Question: Anti-antisemitism and the Politics of the French Intellectual and Naming Race, Naming Racisms.

Girding for Showdown With No. 1 Yale, No. 5 Harvard, No. 2 Tiger Men’s Lightweights on Positive Trajectory

S

tarting April with its first clash against a top-five boat, the Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity eight came up short, falling to third-ranked Columbia. While Princeton head coach Marty Crotty wasn’t happy with defeat, he knew it was just one step in a process. “It was a wake-up call, we are not there yet, said Crotty, reflecting on the April 2 regatta at Teaneck, N.J. which saw Princeton lose by six seconds to the Lions. “There was nothing implosive. It wasn’t flush everything down the drain and start over; it was just like we have got to focus more. We have got to decide how we are going to go after this thing and get down to business. We have got six weeks to sprints and let’s just do it.” Two weeks later, Princeton took care of business, utilizing a blazing start as it stunned No. 1 and two-time defending national champion Cornell to win the Platt Cup for the first time since 2011. “I knew they were focusing more and I knew they had gotten better,” said Crotty, whose top boat clocked a time of 6:03.7 over the 2,000-meter course on Lake Carnegie with Cornell coming in at 6:07.4 as the Big Red saw its 18-race winning streak snapped.

“They were ready from the first stroke. They were on it from the first stroke; they were rowing together in contrast to a week or two before, when they were still sort of jelling as a crew. We might have caught them by surprise. We capitalized on a hot start and we stayed on top of them basically. It is a lot easier for the guys to be confident that we are on the right trajectory after a win than it is after a loss.” Showing no complacency, the Tigers kept rolling last Saturday as they topped Penn and Georgetown to earn the WoodHammond Trophy, improving to 7-1 on the season. “Penn has seen a revitalization and Georgetown is somebody we see a lot so you never take anything for granted ever,” said Crotty, whose varsity 8 came in at 6:24.3 with Penn next 6:35.7 and Georgetown placing third in 6:53.7. “The unique part about this race last weekend was that we had another great week of preparation and then we came around the corner on Saturday and there was a 20 mph headwind. It was a direct headwind so there was plenty of chop and plenty of condition. You prepare and you prepare and you feel good about your crew and a 20-mile an hour headwind will make a disaster out of anybody. It is never pretty in a 20-mph headwind with gusts. I just

WORLD DISORDER LECTURE SERIES

WHO LOST THE MIDDLE EAST? RICHARD MURPHY

SHINING LIGHTS: The Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity 8 crew displays its form in a race earlier this spring. Last weekend, the second-ranked Tigers defeated Penn and Georgetown to win the Wood-Hammond Cup, improving to 7-1. On April 30, Princeton will host No. 1 Yale and fifth-ranked Harvard on Lake Carnegie in the annual HYP regatta. (Photo Courtesy of Princeton Crew) had to look at the tape a couple of times to know they were on point. The way they handled that wind reflects how they were preparing through the week.” Blessed with terrific depth, Crotty has been faced with tricky lineup decisions every week. “The competition has allowed me to confidently make changes and it is not necessarily to see if this guy is better than that guy; there are a lot of guys that are close but maybe one can row, to my eye, a certain seat better,” said Crotty. “Maybe if this guy rows this seat better, it allows these other four guys in seats they are better suited for. So lot of the stuff I have been doing it is not that the boat goes faster right away but it is going to allow the boat to develop into a faster one over the next couple of weeks. It is a subtle selection thing. There are only eight varsity seats and I think we have 12 or 13 guys who could potentially fill those seats.” Senior captain Isaiah Brown has been caught in the middle of the selection process and has shown his leadership by rolling with the punches. “A good example of it is just having the poise and maturity to deal with a lot of that circulation in the lineups; Isaiah is a guy who has been moved around a lot this year and I think he has handled it the way I would want it to be handled,” said Crotty. “He has been in the varsity, he has been in the JV. He has been in the 4 seat, the 5 seat, and the 6 seat. Two weeks ago with Cornell race, he was in the boat, he was out

of the boat and then he was in the boat. We are talking Thursday night, we are dealing some injured guys and some guys that were getting ill and we kept a couple of guys out and Isaiah got back in the varsity. He just handled himself so well in that Cornell race. I think the other seven guys really rallied around him. For Isaiah to get a Cornell win on his tally was pretty awesome to see. He was the first guy I walked onto the dock and just gave him a big hug.” Second-ranked Princeton is ending April with a battle against two more top 5 foes this Saturday as it hosts No. 1 Yale and fifth-ranked Harvard on Lake Carnegie in the annual HYP regatta. “I personally don’t have to motivate or talk about it or refer to Harvard or refer to Yale,” said Crotty. “If anything you could err on the side of getting the guys too jacked up so they do something outside of what they have already rehearsed and practiced a million times. They know the rankings, they know the results. They know in general what to expect from each boat class. The 1V knows what Yale has been doing, what Harvard has been doing and so on. You have just got to row with with what you have got and row with all of the attitude and swagger in the world. But you can’t go out and try to row above yourself and expect a great result. I think you do the best with what we have got and then continue on to the sprints two weeks from now.” —Bill Alden

It has been a youth movement by necessity this season for the Princeton University women’s water polo team. Saying goodbye to six seniors last June and with rising senior goalie Ashleigh Johnson taking a year off from school to prepare for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Princeton head coach Luis Nicolao has dealt with a season of transition. “It is a brand new team, I think we have had some growing pains at times but at the same time I have been very happy with how the kids have been doing and working hard and we are getting some success,” said Nicolao, whose squad is ranked 15th and brings a 17-6 record into the CWPA (Collegiate Water Polo Association) Championships this weekend at Harvard with the victor of the event earning an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. Working through those growing pains, the Tigers won four of their last five regular season games leading into the CWPA competition. “It was just getting to play with each other and figuring out who is going to fill which role offensively and defensively,” said Nicolao. “That is the hardest part, you really don’t have the fall to do that with the Ivy League rules so it takes time for the kids to figure out where they are and their roles on the team.” Princeton started April with two hard losses, falling 9-7 to Michigan and 8-7 to Indiana but came away with the feeling that it can compete with anybody. “I think more than anything

we gained the confidence that we can play with these two teams,” said Nicolao. “Indiana and Michigan are the two favorites coming into the year. They train more and play more than us so I think some of the younger kids had some apprehension but we were leading in both games. I think our kids realize that if we play well, anything can happen.” Junior Morgan Hallock and sophomore Haley Wan have played very well for the Tigers as Hallock has 38 goals while Wan has contributed a team-high 50 goals. “Morgan is a junior now, she has come into her own,” said Nicolao. “She is a very good player; she gives us size and strength in the middle there. Haley is just an overall smart player. She can do it all, she sees it before it happen. She is a team leader who controls the offense a bit in the water. She is an all around good player.” Freshmen Lindsey Kelleher and Eliza Britt have bolstered the Princeton offense, tallying 42 and 22 goals, respectively. “I talked to them early in the season; it is unique,” said Nicolao. “You might have one freshman who will step in and we had two freshmen step in because we needed them. They have been asked to do things that unfortunately I would rather have an upperclassmen do. But because we are underclass dominated, they stepped in and they have done a really great job.” Sophomore goalie Helena van Brande has done a good job filling the shoes of Joh ns on, com i ng up with 132 saves and a save

percentage of 0.516 in 18 appearances. “Helena has been great; we knew she was a great goalie,” added Nicolao. “I always feel bad because sometimes you try to compare her to Ashleigh and they are two different people.” Last weekend, van Brande couldn’t play due to injury and the Tigers gave a great effort, topping Brown 15-6, George Washington 15-2, and Hartwick 13-12 before falling to Bucknell 10-9. “We had to put Chelsea Johnson (Ashleigh’s younger sister) in the goal and we were able to win three out of four games with a field player in goal,” said Nicolao. “It was next man up; the girls did what they needed to do to win. We don’t try to make excuses about anything. If you had told me at this time last week that you would give me three out of four wins, I will take it for sure. Then you get greedy because you win the first three and you want four. To get three wins with the size of the team that we had and the situation in goal, I was very happy.” Nicolao is happy w it h how his team is playing as it looks to defend its CWPA crown. “I think we are excited, I told the girls it is a fresh start,” said Nicolao, whose team is seeded fourth. “It is three games, there is no pressure on us, no expectations so let’s just go out there and have some fun and see what we can do. It is one game at a time, we have Harvard first round and that is going to be a challenge. We have got to be ready to play, they are going to be excited in their home pool. You can’t look forward to any game.” —Bill Alden

Topping Columbia to Rebound from Penn Loss, PU Women’s Lacrosse in 3-Way Tie Atop Ivies Hosting No. 15 Penn in a critical Ivy League clash last Wednesday evening, the 11th-ranked Princeton University women’s lacrosse team dug an early hole. Getting caught on its heels from the opening draw, Princeton found itself down 4-0 just 5:39 into the contest. “Penn came out on fire and we were a step slow and got beaten right out of the gate on the draw controls,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer. “They went 100 mph and we weren’t ready for the pace physically and mentally that they came out with; that is on us.” T he T iger s got up to speed, narrowing the gap to 5-3. After giving up two unanswered goals to trail 7-3 at halftime, Princeton got the first tally of the second half to make it 7-4. Penn, though, held off the Tigers, pulling away to a 12-7 victor y, sparked by for mer Princeton High star Emilia Lopez-Ona, who helped the Quakers come up with nine draw controls to the delight of her PHS friends in attendance at Class of 1952 Stadium to cheer on the sophomore midfielder. “We came out and got the goal in the second half but then we had a series of turnovers and could never really close the gap,” said Sailer. “It is tough when you don’t have the lead and you are down three or four goals down the stretch.” Hurt by sloppy offensive play with 15 turnovers on the game, Princeton’s defense got worn down. “We did have a couple of nice goals but we were playing a lot of defense in this game,” said Sailer. “We didn’t win a lot of the draws and they had long sets. We didn’t get great shots off. We had good looks at times but we didn’t finish.” In reflecting on the loss, Sailer said her players need to be giving greater effort at all times. “I think you have got to go after everything that you want,” said Sailer. “You have to be ready to play from the opening whistle and we have to go harder in practice and we have to go harder in games, offensively and defensively. I give a lot of credit to Penn because they came out and really took it to us and they outplayed us. You have got to learn from it and every kid has to continue to work to improve for us to move forward.” Three days later at Columbia, Princeton was ready to play from the opening whistle, jumping out to a 5-0 lead on the way to a 14-9 victory and improving to 10-4 overall and 5-1 Ivy League. Junior star Olivia Hompe scored four goals to lead the Tigers in the win

Tiger Women’s Hoops Adds Moore to Staff

Carrie Moore is rejoining the staff of the Princeton University women’s basketball team, the program announced last week. Moore, who was the team’s Director of Basketball Operations from 2008-10, will take the position that was recently opened after Megan Griffith was hired as Columbia’s head coach.

Moore will serve the program in all aspects as well as coordinating the recruiting efforts for the Tigers. After her initial stint at Princeton, Moore was an assistant coach at Creighton University from 2010-15. The Bluejays made post-season appearances in all five years — including back-toback NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time in program history (2012 and 2013). Prior to her move to Omaha, Moore spent two seasons as the director of basketball operations at Princeton. She was part of the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2009-10, as the Tigers went 26-3 on the season, including 14-0 in Ivy League play. During her playing career, Moore was a four-year letter winner at Western Michigan University under Coach Ron Stewart. She scored 2,216 points during her career, scoring 813 of those points during her senior season. The school’s fifth AllAmerica selection, Moore set nine school records and four Mid-American Conference records. She is the only Mid-American Conference women’s basketball player to capture the NCAA scoring crown, averaging 25.4 points per game during her senior season. Moore was named firstteam ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District, second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America and was a nom inee for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. Moore also earned the 2007 MAC Player of the Year award. After graduation, Moore signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Mercury of the W N BA before signing a professional contract with KSSSE AZA PWSZ Gorzow Wielkopolski in Gorzow, Poland for the Polish Professional Women’s Basketball League (PLLK). A native of Lathrup Village, Mich., Moore graduated from WMU magna cum laude with a journalism degree in 2007. ———

PHS jumped out to a 5-3 halftime lead only to find itself down 8-7 with 17:06 left in the second half, prompting head coach David Schlesinger to call a timeout in an attempt to stem the tide. “It was get ting in our FINISHING KICK: Princeton High girls’ lacrosse player Taylor Lis races upfield in recent action.

That would be our biggest problem when we think the game is out of reach and it is not.” Lis took matters into her hands, scoring two straight goals as PHS pulled away to a 11-8 victory. “I am a leader, finishing is one of my roles and making sure the energy is up,” said Lis, who ended up with four goals in the victory. “I make sure ever yone sees that I think I can do it and if they see that I think we can do it then everyone else believes we can do it as well. That is the biggest thing for us, we have such great talent but we let it get away from us sometimes. I was hoping to show that I had that mentality that we are still in this and this was still winnable and that we can come out and do really good things.” Next year, Lis is heading to a really good situation as she has committed to Cornell, where she will play for its nationally-ranked women’s lacrosse program. “The coaches have such a great mentality and I like the mentality of the whole team,” said Lis, reflecting

on her decision to attend Cornell. “They weren’t ranked as high as they are performing right now but they had a kind of drive. I could sense that these girls have something special and they can do great things and they have shown that. I think that is kind of what we are hoping to do this year at PHS.” PHS head coach Schlesinger likes the drive Lis shows all over the field. “Taylor is a do-everything player so even when she is not scoring for us, she is our top draw specialist and she was guarding Kalli Hartshorn the whole game,” said Schlesinger. “She has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders beyond just scoring so when she can chip in some goals, that is icing on the cake.” Schlesinger is proud of the way his seniors have handled their responsibilities. “They have meant the world to the program,” said Schlesinger. “Those are four girls who have worked incredibly hard for four years and they are seeing the culmination of their hard work and especially to win a game like this against a tough opponent with two absolutely phenomenal players is a big day.” Senior stalwarts Deitch and Ryan had big days in the win over the Redbirds as the former scooped up two ground balls and the latter chipped in two assists. “Gabrielle Deitch as low defense played a phenomenal game,” asserted Schlesinger. “She plays with confidence and younger defenders feed off of that. Our whole offense runs through Julia Ryan and she continues to play at a high level. She is a point guard and that is why I moved her from midfield to attack so that we could have a really steadying and very talented lead attacker.” The Little Tigers showed some high level lacrosse in surviving the Allentown rally. “We had a little bit of a defensive lapse in the second half but we cleaned that up,” said Schlesinger. “So other than that, I really liked the way we played the whole game. Our competitiveness was at a very high level and we were communicating much better than we had. Our transition was better than it has been and we minimized our turnovers so I thought this was

as strong a game we have played.” PHS is getting some strong play from junior neophyte goalie Zoe Tesone. “Zoe’s play has improved so much in the last few games, even though she hasn’t been able to get a victory,” said Schlesinger of Tesone, who made 10 saves against Allentown. “It is her first year playing lacrosse, she is making some huge strides so she was the difference in the game.” In Schlesinger’s view, the win over Allentown could make a big difference for his club. “We had lost three in a row and four out of five so to get a win against a real quality opponent was very important,” said Schlesinger, whose team fell 13-8 to

undefeated Lawrenceville on Monday to move to 5-5 and will start play in the Mercer County Tournament where the Little Tigers are seeded fourth and will host No. 13 W W/P-S in a first round contest. “This was a big win for us.” Lis, for her part, believes that PHS can keep coming up with big wins as the spring unfolds. “It is so important, especially with the streak that we have had, we have had a lot of tough games in a row,” said Lis. “We have a lot of tough games coming up and we have to make sure that we get this one under our belts and show that we can compete with the higher level teams.” —Bill Alden

Buoyed by Senior Star Swedish’s Spirited Play, PHS Softball Shows Grit in Winning Tournament

Having lost 4-0 to WW/PN a week earlier, the Princeton High softball team was primed for the rematch with the Northern Knights last Friday. (Published by St. Martin’s Press) “We were just trying to play our game and not let them rattle us,” said PHS With Author: senior third baseman Kelli Swedish. “We have seen in practice what we can do and we just try to pick each other up more.” After the game was de(Ph.D., 2006) layed for 30 minutes due to thunder in the area, SwedBrookings Institution ish picked up two RBIs as she ripped a single up the middle in the bottom of the The Islamic State is one of the most third inning to plate Celia lethal and successful jihadist groups in modern history, surpassing even Gleason and Stephanie Wu al-Qaeda.

ing out there. Even when she makes an out, she runs hard to first.” The Little Tigers showed some good spirit, bouncing back from the disappointing loss to WWP-N to win the John Czeterko Highwaywomen Softball Classic in Teaneck a day later, topping Bogota 8-3 in the semis and then outlasting Teaneck 4-0 in nine innings in the title game. In Boehm’s view, the loss to WW/P-N served as motivation coming into action on Saturday. “It was a killer and that hurt,” said Boehm. “I think it bothered them losing that game on Friday the way they did in the seventh inning.” In the win against Bogota on Saturday, junior Nancy Gray starred with her arm and bat, tossing a complete game and driving in three runs. “Gray had a great game; Bogota has a nice little team; I think they were 5-3 going in,” said Boehm of Gray, who allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk in the circle and went 4-for-4 with a homer at the plate. “I wanted to rest Kayla (Volante) because she has been throwing every game. Volante said she felt good, she could have gone the first game but I stuck to it and stayed with Nancy and let her get the innings and throw some pitches. She did well, she responded really well. She hit the ball hard; she hit a home run over the fence.” Volante handled the pitching duties in the title game,

hurling a five-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts and no walks. “I think she threw 114 pitches in nine innings and she threw 127 on Friday,” said Boehm. “She did a really nice job. That game is one of those games where you figure we give up a run in the sixth and lose it in the seventh. We did a good job. We came out and got four runs in the top of the ninth. We had some key hits there from Bianca Guidi and Natalie Campisi. She had a big hit and drove in two runs.” Noting that winning the Czeterko event last year proved to be a turning point for his club, Boehm is hoping the title will have the same impact this spring. “Last year when we went up to Teaneck and played well in the tournament and then we played well for the rest of the year,” said Boehm, whose team is now 5-5 and will look to keep on the winning track as it plays at WW/P-S on April 27 and at Trenton on April 29 before hosting Hopewell Valley on May 2. “So maybe in the last 10 games here we will start playing well again and keep it up.” Swedish, for her part, is looking to savor her remaining games at PHS. “At this point it is more about having fun and enjoying my teammates,” said Swedish. “Winning is great too but at the end of the day you don’t remember the wins and losses.” —Bill Alden

Displaying the nose for the ball that has made him a star receiver on the football field, Luke Apuzzi has turned heads this spring, coming up with a number of circus catches in center field for the Hun School baseball team. “Playing football helps out in the outfield,” said Hun senior Apuzzi, who is headed to Williams College this fall where he will play for its football program. “I just try to track everything down and do the best I can to make every play.” Last Saturday, though, it was Apuzzi’s work with the bat that stood out as Hun split a doubleheader with visiting Mercersburg Academy (Pa.). In the first game, the center fielder contributed a ground-rule double in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Raiders unsuccessfully tried to overcome

a three-run deficit in a 4-1 loss. In the second game, he hit two straight doubles to help Hun jump out to a 3-0 lead as it went on to a 6-2 win and improved to 8-4. “Lately, I have not had my best times at the plate,” said Apuzzi. “After today, I have gained some confidence for sure and hopefully I can carry that over to the later games.” In Apuzzi’s view, Hun’s good finish in the opener set the tone for the nightcap. “We finished strong in the first game and to carry that over to the second game was definitely important,” said Apuzzi. “The middle of the order was able to get me home twice after those two doubles so that was big to get out to that early lead. Robby Huselid did a great job pitching to maintain that lead.” Apuzzi, who transferred to Hun from Lawrenceville last

SPLIT DECISION: Hun School baseball player Alex Mumme follows through on a swing in recent action. Last Saturday, senior outfielder Mumme went 1-for-4 with a run to help Hun defeat Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) 6-2 as the Raiders salvaged a split in a doubleheader with the Blue Storm after falling 4-1 in the opener. Hun, now 8-4, plays at Hill School (Pa.) on April 27 before hosting Blair Academy on April 30 and Peddie on May 3. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

fall, is having fun in his final season on the diamond. “In prior years, I had been very tense during baseball season and this year I have tried to relax as much as I could and just enjoy this,” said Apuzzi. Hun head coach Bill McQuade enjoyed see his team earn the split against the Blue Storm. “We were flat in the first game, maybe we hy ped the games too much with the kids the last couple of days in practice,” said McQuade. “Perhaps they just came out a little tight and maybe they had something to do with it. If you are a little flat and you don’t score or do something well in the first couple of innings then you get tight and try harder. In the second game, they lightened up a little bit and we hit the ball harder.” Apuzzi’s hitting certainly gave Hun a lift. “He has been streaky but when he is on a hot streak, the ball just jumps off his bat and he is a sparkplug,” said McQuade. “He ignites the offense because behind him you have James Werosta, Alex Mumme, and Jordy Smith, who is seeing the bat really well.” Hun got a big two-run homer from Smith in the seventh inning as the senior first baseman went 2-for-3 with three RBIs in the game. “Just in the first game when it was 2-1, we had scored, even though we got in on two gifts by their defense, they knew we were coming,” said McQuade. “They were ready to take their kid out and then we gave them two or three more runs and it took the starch out of us. It was the same thing in the second game when that ball went out. It means that E.J. LoCascio’s first appearance for us here was a lot less pressurepacked. He went out there and really showed all of us that he can be a help in this remaining stretch for us.” Senior star ting pitcher Huselid showed his savvy, giving up two runs with five strikeouts in six innings of work. “He pitched well, he is such a talented young man,” said McQuade, noting that Huselid was heading to a choral competition after the game. “We didn’t win the first one and here he is, he goes out there and gives us six great innings. He is around the plate, he keeps people off balance. He is smart, he

is a super honor roll student. He is always thinking.” The way Hun came through to end Saturday has McQuade thinking his club can do some big things down the stretch of the season. “When we play the way we played the second game, we can play with anyone,” asserted McQuade. “I think we are coming. James Werosta is a workhorse, he will give you 110 percent in everything he does so we feel good about where he is. Mike Pedota threw a terrific ball game the other day and now if E.J. is ready and his arm is healthy and he can give us the work what a huge help that is going to be as we enter our prep tournament.” In Apuzzi’s view, the team’s good chemistry will also be a big help in crunch time. “We are playing well,” added Apuzzi. “We are a close knit team and I think that can carry us a long way.” —Bill Alden

Hun Baseball Splits Doubleheader With Mercersburg As Apuzzi’s Timely Hitting Gives Raiders a Spark


TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, APRIl 27, 2016 • 34

With Davis Utilizing Her Speed to Open Things Up, Hun Girls’ Lax Cruises to 16-5 Win Over Mercersburg As Kate Davis hit the field for the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team last Saturday against visiting Mercersburg Academy (Pa.), she had the word “focus” scrawled in black ink on her left arm. With Hun coming off a 17-3 defeat to Notre Dame the day before, junior midfielder/attacker Davis was determined to bring that watchword to life. “We had a tough loss yesterday, we were missing some girls today so we really had to step it up,” said Davis. “We came in strong and played real well as a team.” Davis played very well, scoring four goals to help the Raiders rout Mercersburg 16-5. She was one of four multi-goal scorers for the Raiders as junior Shannon Dudeck had four goals and two assists with junior Delia Lawver adding three goals and an assist and senior Lindsay Ruddy chipping in two goals and two assists. “Since the beginning of the season we have been saying we can’t have just one girl running down the whole field; everyone is going to clutter and we will drop the ball,” said Davis, reflecting on the team’s balanced attack. “We had to know the importance of passing the ball and connecting from defense to attack and I think we really got it down today.” With Hun leading 9-2 at intermission, Davis and her teammates didn’t want take their foot off the pedal. “During halftime, we said that we couldn’t fall down because they would try to

get up so we needed to come out stronger in the second half,” said Davis. “We feel that every game it is important to come strong both halves.” Heading into her junior campaign, Davis felt she needed to assume more responsibility on and off the field this spring. “Last year, we had big senior players and big junior players so this year I feel like I need to step up as a leader of the team,” added Davis, who recently committed to attend William Smith College where she will be playing for its women’s lacrosse program along with Hun teammates Lawver and the Consoli twins, Emma and Katie. “A couple of other girls and I have really tried to bring the team together and make it not just an individual team where one girl has all the shots. You saw today that Shannon Dudeck had four goals and Delia Lawver had three goals. It is not just one person, it is so many people contributing to the growing program.” Davis sees using her speed as a way she can contribute to the Hun attack. “I usually try to get by the defense and then run up, if a girl is open I will pass it because it is so easy to open things up,” said Davis, who tallied two goals and three assists last Monday to help Hun defeat Monroe 16-11 as it improved to 5-6. “If I start from the top of the circle, I can stutter around them.” Hun head coach Liz Cook liked t he way her team opened the contest as it

hen it comes to insurance helps to have a champion When it comes to insurance your corner

jumped out to a 6-0 lead over the Blue Storm. “We were looking at our passing game; it is our goal to be a passing team so today we wanted to have every goal have an assist with it,” said Cook. “I am really proud of them for bouncing back from yesterday.” Cook is proud of how Davis has grown into such a threat all over the field for the Raiders. “Kate has tremendous speed and is a versatile player,” asserted Cook. “When she turns it on, there is nobody who can stop her. She knows she can go to goal, she can take on one or two players but she can also play a great defensive game.” The one-two punch of Dudeck and Lawver made a difference for Hun as well. “They are instrumental in the draw, both of them are really tough, they can fall down and get right back up and never give up,” said Cook. “They both have that gofor-it personality. They are players I go to when things are down because they can stand back up and have a smile on their faces.” The Consoli twins bring personality and talent to the mix. “They are awesome, they have been instrumental in building the culture of our team; they are invaluable to me as a resource for the kids and for my team,” said Cook. “They are incredible players, they can play offense and defense and can do anything. They are mostly on defense but sometimes I

run them full.” In cruising past Mercersburg, Hun used a tough zone defense to stymie the Blue Wave. “We have been working on the backer quite a bit and today was a day we could put it back in,” explained Cook. “We haven’t been able to put back in with our stronger teams. I am really proud of them. We put our backer in and they worked it really well. They did everything we have been working on. The way we pressured the ball was the way we got our turnovers today. That is really because of defense we played as a team today for sure.” With the Raiders having lost two straight coming into Saturday, it was important to get back on the winning track. “We have a tough schedule,” said Cook, whose team plays at Pennington School on April 27 and hosts Hightstown on April 28 and be starting play in the Mercer County Tournament where the Raiders are seeded 10th and slated to play at No. 7 Pennington on April 30 in a first round contest. “We have had some close games and a couple of blowouts. This was a game that we really needed to win. It was a great confidence builder for them to be able to finish two halves and for them to know they can come out on the field and beat a team and pass the ball.” Davis, for her part, believes Hun can build on the victory over Mercersburg. “We are going to keep going strong,” said Davis. “We want to focus on coming out strong in both halves and really just to try to play as a team like we did today. It was a confidence booster.” —Bill Alden

READY TO STRIKE: Hun School girls’ lacrosse player Kate Davis gets ready to go after the ball in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, junior midfielder/attacker Davis scored four goals to help Hun defeat Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) 16-5. Hun, who defeated Monroe 16-11 on Monday and improving to 5-6, plays at Pennington School on April 27 and hosts Hightstown on April 28. In addition, the Raiders will be starting play in the Mercer County Tournament where they are seeded 10th and slated to play at No. 7 Pennington on April 30 in a first round contest.

Julie Patterson had a level of comfort as the Princeton Day School softball team faced the Hopewell Valley junior varsity squad last week. “I have played against this pitcher and I know her pitches,” said PDS freshman catcher Patterson, who plays travel ball for the Ninjas. Patterson put that knowledge to work, smacking a triple and a single with a run and two RBIs. “I wanted to get some runs in because we needed an extra boost of energy,” said Patterson, reflecting on a game which saw PDS fall behind 6-0 in the first inning only to close the gap to 6-3 and 10-7 before falling 19-8. “I just hit the ball and drove it into left field and ran t he bases. It really helped the team get some energy.” Playing catcher gives Patterson the chance to use her energy on defense for the Panthers. “It is good to experience new pitchers and it helps me with blocking practice and to get my throws down,” said Patterson. With PDS boasting a number of freshmen making a major contribution, including Hailey Young, Elisabeth Berman, Guilia Gerschel, and Brooke Smukler, in addition to Patterson, the newcomers are developing a strong connection. “We definitely make up a lot of the team and I think that is good because in school we can really bond together,” said Patterson, who also stars for the PDS girls’ hockey team. “We always practice together so we can talk about how we think the game went. We boost each other up all throughout the day and get psyched with each other.” PDS head coach Pau l

Lano is psyched with how Patterson has been coming through this spring. “Julie Patterson put an enormous amount of pressure on hers elf play ing against a school where all of her friends and she responded,” said Lano. “She had a couple of base hits. She gives us the leadership behind the plate, especially with two other freshmen (Berman and Smukler) throwing the ball on a regular basis and that is huge. She does not play on this team like a freshman at all and it comes out. She is very coachable. Her bond with Annika Asplundh and Kiely French and the other hockey players is huge. It is a huge benefit for me, she is filling a lot of gaps for me.” The play of the PDS freshmen collectively has given the squad a huge boost. “They are pitching, they are catching,” added Lano. “Berman and Smukler are the pitching staff and they are both good. Gulia Gershel is climbing up the ranks, she is definitely becoming a factor.” Junior infielder/pitcher Annika Asplundh and junior outfielder Kiely French have been big factors for the Panthers this spring. “Annika came in today to pitch and steadied the ship, with her experience and knowing how to handle batters and at bats and all the situations and being able to run the infield,” said Lano. “Kiely would have been a good addition to the infield but at this point I needed some leadership in the outfield. We can’t have all rookies out there so she was my remaining best outfielder for sure.” Senior Emma Sharer also helps steady things for Lano. “My lone senior is Emma and she gives us her leadership,” said Lano. “She has

been like an assistant coach since the day she joined the team as a sophomore three years ago.” Lano believes that getting his players to take a more aggressive approach offensively will lead to more competitive games down the stretch. “What I would like to see is a little more confidence with the opportunities that they get, especially at the plate,” said Lano, whose team has started 1-4 and plays at Pennington School on April 28 before hosting Morrisville High ( Pa.) on April 30 and Willingboro High on May 2. “They all know how to swing the bat. They just need to develop a lit tle more plate presence, knowing the count and when a pitcher has to throw a strike, knowing that is their opportunity to hit one. Our M.O. is we want them to attack, we want them to be aggressive. We want them to attack strikes. We can play with better teams if we get the ball into play.” No matter how many more wins PDS ends up getting this spring, Lano enjoys getting the opportunity to work with his players. “They love to play the game,” said Lano. “For half my team, this is their second or third sport but when they come out here they give me their all.” Patterson, for her part, is determined to keep giving her all. “We see that we can battle back and that will definitely help us in future games,” said Patterson. “ We h ave s om e g o o d competition coming up and we will play hard against them.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Maser Providing Energy, Scoring As Stuart Lax Goes Through Growing Pains While the Stuart Countr y Day School lacrosse team misfired in a 17-5 loss to South Brunswick last Wednesday, Julia Maser was on target. The Stuart senior star and Colby College-bound Maser fired in four goals, battling to the end, nearly scoring a fifth on a free position in the waning seconds. In reflecting on her effort, Maser said she drew inspiration from her teammates. “I did feel like I had a good game; I was really pushed by my teammates,” said Maser. “When I see them hustling down the field, I want to get down there too because I know they are giving it their all and it is not fair if I don’t do the same.” T he team’s hard work didn’t get rewarded as Stuart fell 17-5, dropping to 1-6 on the season. “I don’t think it reflected the heart and hustle we put into this game even until the very end,” said Maser, who got a turf burn on her right thigh as she tried to score at the final buzzer. “This season we have been having great small things but we really need to make it cohesive and play for our team. We need to be doing it for the name on the front of our shirts rather than on the back.” Maser is savoring her last few weeks in a Stuart uniform. “I really am enjoying this season as my last one here, “ said Maser. “The great thing is that we have awesome f resh men who came in this year, Addie McCabe and Grace Sheppard, and I think they are really going to hold it together. We also have some very strong juniors.” In Maser’s view, the Tartans need to play with a stronger sense of purpose as t hey head dow n t he stretch. “I think it is general mentality and focus, picking a team goal that we all want and going after it and really playing for one another,” said Maser. Stuart head coach Kelsey O’Gorman credits Maser w ith bringing a w inning

mentality to the team. “Julia Maser is doing well with the girls, helping them and they are rallying around her spark and energy,” said O’Gorman. “She has just been a great asset, she is a mature player. She knows how to take advantage and possess the ball.” O’Gorman believes that her players are maturing as the season goes on. “I think that we are making improvements,” said O’Gorman. “We have some young players out there but the seniors are taking the lead, with Julia, Harley Guzman, Rose Tetnowski, and Tori Hannah as our senior leaders. Claire Landers is doing a great job too, she is a junior. With those girls, despite what the scores have been, we have progressed in our own ways and they are bonding as a team more so I am proud of that.” The team’s younger players are making steady progress. “Addie McCabe has stepped up for sure,” said O’Gorman, who has also gotten good offensive production from Sheppard.

“Gin Gin Plehn is helping out on defense with good defensive strategies from basketball. Maria McBride is doing a good job on defense.” With Stuart hosting Lawrence High on Apr il 27 before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament where the 14th-seeded Tartans are slated to play at No. 3 Lawrenceville in a first round contest on April 30, O’Gorman is looking for her players to step up collectively. “I just want to see unity out there, I want to see a solid unit,” said O’Gorman. “We have gotten much better on the draw recently, even we were down players, we were possessing the ball. I am just looking for total team effort coming up this week.” Maser, for her part, is confident that the Tartans will come together as they look to pick up some more wins. “The rest of the season should be a time for all of us to grow and hopefully for us to all grow together so our record can reflect our effort,” said Maser. —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Prince George’s County, Md., but spent the last 26 years of her career at Princeton High School in Princeton. She became a well-loved and respected institution known as “JG” there. Students did not take her courses to get an easy “A”, but to learn how to write well. She also advised the award-winning student newspaper, The Tower, for ten years, staunchly defending its freedom of press when necessary. After retiring in 1999, Joan, always a social activist, kept incredibly busy with extensive volunteer, church, and charity work. She also began to travel, u lt imately v isit ing more than 70 countries. When her grandchildren arrived she made regular trips to see them in between their visits to her. She was an avid reader, and never drove anywhere without a “Books On Tape” playing. She loved to be outdoors, walking and bicycling year-round, and cross-country skiing whenever possible. Joan is survived by her two beloved sons, John V. Goodman and his wife Dorota Bulik of Malden, Mass.; and Christopher J. Goodman and his wife Kim of Round Rock, Tex.; her three g r a n d c h i l d r e n , N i c o l a s, Maya, and Theo; her brother Albert Holtje and his wife Anita of Staten Island, N.Y.; her sisters Irene Lamprecht of San Antonio, Tex. and Jennie Coins of Harlingen, Tex.; her ex-husband James A. Goodman of Princeton; many nieces and nephews; other family, dear friends, and former students; and her cherished cats Kami and Zeke.

IS A POOL RIGHT FOR YOU? PROS AND CONS OF POOL OWNERSHIP Having your own swimming pool can be a real boon, providing a built-in vacation spot right in your own back yard. But pools can also have a down side, namely the higher costs associated with their care and maintenance. After all, that crystal-clear water doesn't happen by itself; it needs routine applications of chemicals and a well-maintained filter to keep it that way, not to mention a vacuum, a pool cover for the off-season, and routine maintenance to keep the decks and liner in top shape (and to prevent leaks). Swimming pools also tend to come with higher insurance premiums as well as higher property taxes (never a good thing in New Jersey), and you'll also need to install a fence and maintain it in order to “stay legal.” Still, despite these detractors, a pool can save a lot of money by eliminating the cost of pool membership, and you might even decide to stay home instead of shelling out for a vacation. Plus, a pool can provide a hang-out spot for your loved ones and friends, making it the “go-to” spot for all sorts of occasions. Weigh your options carefully, then decide which makes the most sense for your family and your budget.
