Two Student Leaders, Former Govt. Official Highlight CFPA Event

Andrew Weber, former assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical, and biological defense programs, and two student leaders for gun safety, Princeton High School senior Dziyana Zubialevich and Princeton University freshman Ben Bollinger, will be featured at a Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) gathering on Sunday afternoon, April 8, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton on Cherry Hill Road. Zubialevich was the initiator and lead organizer of the Princeton March for Our Lives rally, which drew more than 4,000 people to Hinds Plaza on March 24 to demonstrate against gun violence and show solidarity with the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Bollinger, founder and leader of Princeton Against Gun Violence at Princeton University, was a principal organizer of the March 14 walkout and demonstration at the University and of the University’s participation in the March for Our Lives. CFPA co-sponsored both the March 14 and March 28 events. CFPA Executive Director the Rev. Bob Continued on Page 10

Westminster Transfer to Chinese Company Is Delayed Last week’s announcement that the transfer of ownership of Westminster Choir College from Rider University to Beijing Kaiwen Educational Technology Company is taking longer than expected came as no surprise to those who have been opposed to the move. University President Gregory G. Dell’Omo’s letter to the school community said that the $40 million deal is behind schedule, meaning Rider will continue to run Westminster for the next school year. “When we initially started this process last year, we had hoped that the transition could begin this summer,” Dell’Omo wrote. “As we progressed, it became clear that Rider will continue to operate Westminster after August 31, 2018.” Rider, which took over Westminster in 1992, made the decision to sell the prestigious Princeton choral college, along with Westminster Conservatory and Westminster Continuing Education, last year. Kaiwen, a steel company which now operates K-12 schools in China, was chosen as the new owner in February. The end of June 2018 was targeted for closure of the deal. As part of the transition process, the University sent Westmin-

ster faculty layoff notices last October. Those notices have now been withdrawn, and are likely to be re-issued at the beginning of the next academic year, Dell’Omo said in his letter. Members of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), who have been strongly opposed to the transaction, said it is telling that the letter came just before an arbitration challenging the layoff as improper. “WIthout doubt, this is because he [Dell’Omo] knew the admin-

istration would have lost their case,” the AAUP wrote in a statement on March 27. In a second and more detailed statement sent out to members, the AAUP reiterated that faculty and other groups had already been told that Rider would continue to run Westminster in the next academic year. “The timing of rescinding the layoff notices is curious,” said Elizabeth Scheiber, AAUP chapter president, in an email. “It seems like they knew or suspected that they would be rescinding layoffs but chose Continued on Page 8

Farmland Can Be Economically Viable, Says Speaker for FOPOS Meeting Not so many decades ago, the town of Princeton was surrounded by farmland. While much of that rural acreage is now home to housing developments and office parks, some open space still remains. And Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) wants to keep it that way. At the organization’s annual meeting on Sunday, April 15, Mark Brownlee of ArcheWild will address the topic with “Investing in our Land: Deriving Real Economic Value for Ourselves and our Community.” Brownlee, principal and

head ecologist of the ecological restoration company and native plant nursery, will outline the options for maintaining the parcels that remain, while possibly realizing some financial benefit. “Active land management is rapidly becoming the norm because it pays dividends,” he said. “There are options.” As the global food market has evolved over time, Brownlee explained, it has left fairly sizable tracts of land in an under-managed state. He used the Continued on Page 15

The bog turtle (glyptemis muhlenbergii), one of the smallest and rarest turtles in North America, is on its way to becoming the first state reptile, if a bill promoted by Princeton Public School students and their teachers and sponsored by State Senator Christopher “Kip” Bateman becomes law.

Sustainable Princeton has added two team members to help further Princeton’s climate action progress. With the goal of reaching the breadth of Princeton’s diverse community to help make informed decisions to reduce their impact on the planet, the organization hired Princeton resident Jenny Ludmer as part-time community outreach manager, and Ellen Malavsky, who currently works with Princeton area nonprofits, as part-time marketing communications consultant. In her role as Community outreach manager, Ludmer will oversee civic engagement activities, volunteer management, coordinate SP’s participation in community events and develop a community outreach strategy. Trained in scientific research, writing and analysis, she spent the past six years volunteering in the community while raising her three children. During this time, Ludmer has served as Littlebrook Elementary School’s Green Team Committee member, Science Expo coordinator, and garden coordinator, and acted as the VP of communications for John Witherspoon Middle School PTO. She has also co-led sustainability efforts at The Jewish Center, and recently joined the Princeton Environmental Commission and the Bicycle Advisory Committee. Malavsky, an independent consu ltant in market ing communications for nonprofits and small businesses, will lead the marketing efforts on behalf of Sustainable Princeton. In her role as part-time communications consultant, she will be responsible for communications strategy, content development, public relations, media relations and partnerships, social media strategy and management, writing, and editing. On Wednesday, April 11 at 7 p.m., Sustainable Princeton will host an interactive discussion about Princeton’s changing climate and how it has or will impact community members. The free event, at Witherspoon Hall, 400 Witherspoon Street, is an opportunity to share concerns and be part of creating solutions.

to wait until the very week we were supposed to arbitrate.” Bruce Afran, attorney for one of two pending lawsuits related to the transfer of Westminster, said Dell’Omo’s notice is evidence that “the parties are all recognizing the unlikeliness of this transaction. This is for many reasons — the lawsuits pending, and the fact that this is essentially a steel company that recently acquired a minority interest in charter schools in China.” But Dell’Omo’s letter has a positive side, Afran said. “It does help restore stability to the Choir College. I’m hopeful that students considering Westminster will recognize that the school is back to normal, and they should

continue to apply.” Scheiber said, “We are happy to have a reprieve for our members with assurance of employment next year, but we continue to be disheartened by the way the administration is operating with secrecy and not allowing stakeholders to participate in the process.” One of the AAUP’s letters to members details due diligence that questions some of the assurances made by Rider administration and Kaiwen representatives. “In order to open numerous new for-profit K-12 schools in China, Kaiwen must raise massive amounts of new capital, yet the company’s finances are precarious, it is deeply in debt, and it has failed to show a profit in the two years it has been in the business of education,” the letter reads. “Kaiwen’s creditors — the organizations and individuals who fund the company with their money — do so not because of a passion for choral music, but because they seek a return on their investment. What will happen to Westminster once they demand repayment? We believe it is time to halt this flawed process and convene all Westminster stakeholders in order to develop a realistic, sustainable future for this extraordinary treasure.” Yet not all involved in the situation anticipate an unfavorable scenario. In a letter to the Rider News last week, Westminster piano professor Ingrid Clarfield wrote, “Your readers need to know that there are many of us who feel there are several reasons to be positive about the sale. I am hoping other faculty and staff who feel the same way will express their strong optimistic feelings, too.” Clarfield quotes Xu Guangyu, the chairman of the Kaiwen company, as saying, “We will inherit and develop Westminster, so that not only is Westminster useful to us, but we are also useful to them.” —Anne Levin

Attitudes In Reverse (AIR), the Princeton-based nonprofit dedicated to preventing suicide through mental health education, was selected as a finalist by the Child Mind Institute to receive a Change Maker Award. AIR’s spokesdog Miki is in the running to receive the American Humane Hero Dog Award in the Therapy Dog category. “Since 2011, AIR has spoken with more than 63,000 m iddle and high school and college students about mental health and suicide prevention,” said Shauna Moses, AIR board member and vice president, public affairs and member services, New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, in her nomination. “Soon after every presentation, between two percent and six percent of students speak up about their struggles and they get help they need.” The students also created an “In Their Shoes” exhibit that augments this educational program. “It builds empathy and understanding by sharing thoughts that go through the minds of individuals who are struggling,” Moses said. “AIR has a small core group of volunteers and are having a profound im-

pact on countless people.” “Just as important, AIR educates that no one should be criticized because they have a biolog ic al - bas ed brain illness. All people, no matter what their differences, should be treated with respect and kindness,” wrote Patricia Betz-Schiff, A I R board member and clinical scientist at Merck & Co. Inc., in her nomination. “Whenever possible, AIR therapy dogs are also invited to accompany their handlers to the school visits. The groups are all volunteers, with a shared passion and mission, to start a conversation about good mental health. The compassion and warmth shared with our audiences and the feedback received has been enthusiastic and well received at schools, universities, and health care facilities.” “ I n S e p te m b e r 2 0 0 8, Miki the Pomeranian came into my life when he was 6 months old. He was in the middle of the ‘pom [Pomeranian] uglies,’ not wanted by anyone. Little did I realize this dog would save my life and the lives of so many others,” said Tricia Baker, AIR’s co-founder and program director. At that time, my family was struggling with helping my son Kenny, who was fighting suicidal ideation. Sadly, Kenny did not have much time with Miki and died May 19, 2009. Kenny’s memory was met with discrimination because of how he died. As a family, we responded and created Attitudes In Reverse. Miki’s training as a therapy dog began and he tested and passed in the spring of 2011,” Baker said. Miki’s therapy work is focused on youth mental health and suicide prevention and includes de-stressing students and helping AIR educate students about good mental health; visiting students devastated by the loss of a friend to suicide; inspiring AIR’s annual awareness event, Miki & Friends 5K Walk & Run for AIR (to be held May 19, 2018 at Mercer County Park, East Picnic Area), which celebrates how dogs are good for our mental health; visiting Youth Mental Health First Aid classes, which Baker and her husband/AIR co-founder Kurt offer; visiting many local behavioral health hospitals; and assisting in preparing dogs to become certified therapy dogs by serving as a Bone-A-Fide Test Dog. Miki has been an active member of AIR since it was established in 2010. He helps students feel comfortable opening up about their difficulties during and after AIR’s educational presentations. He also participates at conferences and community events where AIR exhibits to build awareness about mental health and its mission and programs. Miki’s role and impact in AIR led to his national recognition as the Top Therapy Dog by the American Kennel Club in 2011. O n l i n e vot i ng for t h e Change Maker Award took place through March 23. But online voting for the A mer ican Humane Hero Dog Awards is through April 25. Miki can be voted for at http://herodogawards.org/ dog/miki/.

CFPA Event continued from page one

Moore commented on “this emergence of new young leaders, not willing to buy into the status quo,” and his organization’s decision to honor Zubialevich and Bolling at the CFPA April 8 gathering. “What’s really exciting for us this spring is this new leadership that’s come in since the school shooting in Parkland, Florida,” he said. “There’s been a huge upsurge in attendance and responsiveness and success of these events, and we want to recognize that, to recognize this important new development and what the young people are doing.” Bollinger noted the high level of engagement in the movement to oppose gun violence. Citing the six anti-gun violence bills that passed the New Jersey General Assembly last week, Bollinger stated, “There’s real change happening in New Jersey. It’s not something that’s going away. This movement will continue.” He continued, “It’s a unique moment in terms of the number of young people engaged politically. Political discussions are permeating the school culture.” Bollinger pointed out that his organization has continued a phone bank and letter drive, seek-

ing support from legislators and others, as well as making voter registration a priority in all their events. He emphasized that the issue of gun control goes beyond schools. “There is a plethora of issues,” he said. “We need a sustained focus on all aspects of gun violence in our society.” The April 8 CFPA membership renewal gathering will include a light meal from 2-3 p.m., followed by a keynote presentation by Weber at 3 p.m. With 30 years of U.S government service, Weber was President Obama’s assistant secretary of defense for five and a half years. He was a driving force behind NunnLugar Cooperative Threat Reduction efforts to remove weapons - g rade uran iu m from Kazakhstan and Georgia and nuclear-capable MiG29 aircraft from Moldova, to reduce biological weapons threats and to destroy Libyan and Syrian chemical weapons stockpiles. He serves on the board of the Arms Control Association and the James Martin Center for Non-proliferation Studies International Advisory Council. He taught a course at the Georgetown University Graduate School for Foreign Service for seven years, and was a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. “Like CFPA, Weber is highly critical of the U.S. Nuclear Modernization — which is really technological escalation — Program; as well as of the Trump administration’s anti-diplomatic approach to the Iran Nuclear Agreement,” said Moore.

Researching climate change pressure on marine ecosystems, or lung function in 9/11 first responders, or protein design and antibiotic resistance, or memory and learning and Alzheimer’s disease, or liver cancer and cancer immunotherapy in the setting of some of the top university science laboratories in the country do not sound like typical high school science class experiences. They’re not, but they are among the internship experiences that the seven Princeton Day School (PDS) juniors in Carrie Norin’s new REx Program are looking forward to this summer. Noting that her science research experience program in its first year at PDS is probably more like graduate school than high school, Norin recently announced that all of her current REx students have been accepted into internships for this coming summer at university labs across the country. “I’m a big proponent of doing real science in science classes,” Norin said. In her sixth year as a biology teacher at PDS, Norin, who holds a PhD in ecology and evolution from Rutgers University, started feeling strongly a few years ago about going beyond the traditional high school science classroom and starting a research program at PDS. ”The goal was to provide a genuine science experience. I wanted pure inquiry to drive this program, as in

real labs where science is being done.” Norin’s student-driven research course is designed to bring students to an understanding of the scientific method. They explore what science really is and who funds it. Early in the course they read scientific papers, exploring the internet to get to the point where they are able to understand scientific writing and figure out a topic that they are excited about. They review the scientific literature on their chosen subjects and they develop a list of scientists with whom they would like to work. They design experiments around a question related to their topic of interest and the particular lab they want to work in. Over the past months they have been communicating with scientists in arranging the internships that will allow them to pursue their chosen subjects of interest. Walter Emann will be doing an internship on planti n s e c t i nte r ac t i o n s a n d phenotypic plasticity at the University of North Carolina. Raina Kasera will be in Duke University’s Chemistry Department exploring catalysts for biological molecules. Eleanor Myers will be working in the Marine & Coastal Sciences Department at the Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory at Rutgers University investigating climate change pressure on marine ecosystems. Angela Talusan will be at

the NYU Langone Health Depar t ment of E nv iron mental Medicine examining lung function in 9/11 first responders. Jacob Tharayil will be in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department at the University of California, San Francisco working on protein design and antibiotic resistance. Elsie Wang will do her internship in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia Universit y, investigating memor y and learning in mice and Alzheimer’s disease. Lydia Wu will be researching liver cancer and cancer immunotherapy at the Pathology Department of the Bloomberg-Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Johns Hopkins University. W h e n t h e y r e t u r n to school as seniors next fall, the seven students will present their research to the PDS community at a public event. They will also become mentors for Norin’s new class of researchers. —Donald Gilpin

War and Migration Are Themes At Third Annual Literary Salon

The four authors who will speak at the Salon on Stockon literary festival on April 13-14 have one major thing in common: war. British journalists Sally Magnusson, Neal Aschers on, Ly n n e Ols on, a n d Christopher Dickey — prominent authors all — have each covered wars, and lots of them. So it made sense for the organizers of the third annual festival to present them together, in an event that begins Friday evening, April 13 and continues throughout the following day, at the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) on Stockton Street. Themed as “4 Writers on War + Migration,” the festival includes interviews with each of the writers, followed by a panel discussion. With attendance limited to about 40 people, it affords an intimacy that might not be possible in a larger setting. “Doing a book festival in this town is a crazy thing in one way, because every day is a book festival in Princeton,” said William Storrar, director of CTI, which co-sponsors the event with Morven Museum & Garden. “But what makes this one unique is that people get to spend the whole day with the writers. It’s more of a salon than a festival.” The CTI and Morven are neighbors on either side of Stockton Street, and the organizations know each other well. Storrar, who served on Morven’s board for several years, had been thinking

about doing a book event, and discussed the idea with Barbara Webb, currently Morven’s special projects director and previously the museum’s communications director. “I raised the idea of holding an intimate book festival here, to reflect both of our lovely buildings, for one thing,” said Storrar. “I was thinking of a small event encompassing both of our institutions.” The first festival, with all British authors, turned out to be especially charged because it took place immediately after the Brexit vote in which the U.K. opted to leave the European Union. “It was very emotional for the authors because they didn’t expect the vote to turn out the way it did,” said Webb. “And they were really struggling.” Among the writers at that first festival was Magnusson, who returned the following year and will be back for the upcoming event. A famous broadcaster in Scotland, Magnusson can’t go anywhere in the U.K. without being recognized. “She loves Princeton. She loves sitting in Small World [Coffee],” said Storrar, himself a native of Scotland. “So she comes a week early and enjoys the anonymity.” Magnusson will focus on her recent novel, The Sealwoman’s Gift, about abduction and slavery in 17th century Iceland and Algiers. Dickey, known for his writing for Newsweek maga-

zine and The Washington Post, and currently world news editor of the website The Daily Beast, will talk about his book Our Man in Charleston, the true story of a British diplomat and secret agent during the Civil War. “He has been focused on the Middle East and Syria, and that fits in with our over-arching theme of the Princeton Migrations Project,” said Storrar. “He and all of the authors will speak about migration in the context of war.” Olson’s Last Hope Island is about how Britain became the base for the exiled leaders of Europe in their struggle to reclaim their continent from Hitler. “She is familiar to Princetonians because she spoke at Morven about the Lindberghs,” said Webb. “She is also known for her book Citizens of London, about John Gilbert Winant, whose grandson lives here. Her husband, the writer Stanley Cloud, the veteran journalist, is on the panel Friday night.” Ascherson is the author of The Death of the Fronsac, a novel about sabotage, betrayal, and exile in wartime Poland. “He fits well because he’s written a novel about what Lynne Olson writes about,” said Storrar. “So it all knits together beautifully, about displaced lives during war. The panel at the end of the day on Saturday is about writing on this subject.” Of that final panel, Webb adds, “That is one of the most interesting parts of the day — when the authors come together. It’s not just one speaking after another. They all stay and listen to each other. These are journalists and authors sharing their own experiences. For people who love books, it’s just a wonderful opportunity.” The festival will be held at C T I’s L u ce Ha l l, 50 Stockton Street. Par ticipants will cross the street to have lunch at Morven, catered by Jammin’ Crepes. Tickets range from $10 per session to $50 for a meetthe-authors reception.

Deadline for Changing Party Affiliation For June Primary Is Wednesday, April 11

To the Editor: The League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area supports students in their March for Our Lives and urges those who can vote to become informed about their candidates and then vote. On May 1 at 7 p.m. in Witherspoon Hall, 400 Witherspoon Street, the Democratic candidates for Princeton Council will meet in a forum co-sponsored by the League and Princeton Community TV, which will videotape the forum. The video will be rebroadcast and posted on its website and on www.lwvprinceton.org. Be sure you are registered with the party of your choice. If you are currently unaffiliated, you may declare your party at the polls on June 5. If you mistakenly registered as an Independent, you cannot vote in the primary since only Republicans and Democrats hold a primary election. The deadline for changing Party Affiliation for the June primary is April 11. Political Party Declaration forms are available at www.njelections.org and must be received at your county clerk’s office by April 11. The deadline to register for the June primary is May 15; your voter registration form must be postmarked by that date. Applications for vote-by-mail ballots can be downloaded and must be received by your county clerk at least seven days before the election, May 29. All forms are available at www.njelections.org, where you will be directed to your county clerk. Please attend or watch the forum and VOTE.

BOARDING TRAINING LESSONS SALES

To the Editor: The facilities referendum that calls for spending $137M on a new 5/6 school, PHS expansion, and various other upgrades will have a huge financial impact on our town decades after the current School Board members’ term expires. The need for this spending is driven by the projected increase in student enrollment. According to the third-party consultant retained by the district, enrollment is estimated to grow about 10 percent (with a 5 percent standard error) by 2022. What if we have an opportunity to reduce that enrollment growth to only 3 percent (±5 percent) by 2022? Will that change the need, or at least the timing of the need to spend? $137M amounts to almost a year and half of the school district’s budget, definitely not a small number. For every year this $137M spending is postponed, the district would effectively put $5 million back into residents’ pocket. Under the existing send-and-receive agreement, our district educates 280 high school students from Cranbury, or 18 percent of PHS enrollment. By terminating the agreement with Cranbury, the district can achieve an immediate 7 percent reduction in enrollment. This agreement is scheduled to expire in June 2020. The school district owes residents a detailed explanation as to why extending this agreement is still in our best interest. To justify an extension by only focusing on the $4.8 million we receive but not the corresponding costs of serving the Cranbury students makes no sense. It is disappointing that the district told us that any cost reduction from terminating the Cranbury agreement will be minimal because there are on average only 3-4 Cranbury students in each of the high school’s 85 classes. This picture of averaging is misleading and far from the reality. I urge our elected officials to make smart and pragmatic decisions on our behalf rather than take the path of least resistance.

Princeton area as an example. “Where it used to be 100 percent farming, that has changed dramatically. Because you can no longer afford to grow commodity crops,” he said. “So the question is, what do you do with this land, whether it is 10 acres or 200 acres? You can’t participate in the global food market with parcels that small.” Depending on size, options for participating in new markets can include native seed production for smaller farms; or agroforestry — agriculture incorporat ing t he cu lt ivat ion and conservation of trees — for larger ones. “You can grow black locusts for fence posts,” said Brownlee. “Or live stakes, which are shrubs that can grow tall, be cut, and sold — and are self-renewing. That can produce an ongoing revenue stream.” For areas of 80 acres or more, there are opportunities that fall under the heading of conservation agriculture, “where you invest in building soils to produce specialty crops,” Brownlee said. “There are many farms starting up, and details are being worked out.” Brownlee founded A rcheWild four decades ago with a goal of restoring healthy productivity to farms and forests. Key clients of the company include The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Forest Ser vice, US DA / Nat ural Re s ourc es Conservation Service, New York City parks, and landowners and operators

across the Northeast. Fou nded in 1969, t he nonprofit FOPOS is located in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Preserve and is dedicated to acquiring open space in Princeton for preservation, protecting natural resources, maintaining trails, and encouraging environmental education.The organization has 75 acres that are located in the center of 400 acres of protected public land including two lakes, rocky creeks, wooded wetlands, and forests. The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. at Mountain Lakes House in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, 57 Mountain Avenue. Trustees will be elected and FOPOS Natural Resources Manager Jeff Geist will lead a trail walk, followed by refreshments. But Brownlee’s talk is the focus of the gathering. “The real opportunity is to create new farms depending on size and how much money you have,” he said. “So you can be a small farmer, and maybe not make money, but you can make the land economically productive. The point is that there are solutions for growing commodity crops.” Admission is free and all are welcome. RSVP at i nfo @ fop os.org or call (609) 921-2772. —Anne Levin

“Migrations in Art” Exhibition and Reception

Featuring Princeton S enior Resource Center ( PSRC ) ar t students and in collaboration with the Princeton community’s “Migrations” initiative, PSRC is hosting an opening reception for “Migrations in Art” on Wednesday, April 4 from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Suzanne Patterson Building at 45 Stockton Street, Princeton. The art exhibit tells the story of global migration through the eyes of PSRC art students, and their interpretation through various seasons of their own lives. Drawing class instructor

Alex Koltchev said that his students found inspiration from the history of their own families who immigrated to the United States three and four generations ago. One artist’s illustration represents a Chinese immigrant from 200 years ago, when ove r 4,0 0 0 i m m i g r a nt s worked for the U.S. railroad. Several artists in Hannah Fink’s art class created collages for their “Migrations” artworks, inspired by Romare Bearden’s famous series about African Americans moving north. The art exhibition will be on display through the month of April. Admission is free and open to the public. More information can be found at princetonsenior.org. Over 30 Princeton-area nonprofit organizations will investigate the theme of “Migrations” through May. Programs include lectures, exhibitions, and author talks. More information about the initiative can be found at princetonmigrations.org.

Morpeth Contemporary in Hopewell presents Micheal Mad iga n, “ T h e D e are s t Sense,” and James Jansma, “Re-formations,” from April 7-29. An opening reception is Saturday, April 7, 6 to 8 p.m. Micheal Madigan evokes places but does not de pict them; rather, his abstract paintings serve as “documents of memory.” In these works — which mark the 20th anniversar y of his wanderings — Madigan shares, for the first time, his photographs of the places that inspire his art. Calling the photographs “memory prompts,” he explains: “I use them as guideposts, as sequence reminders, and as part of an ever-evolving process of seeing and absorbing the memory of places and times.” The result is abstract, color-washed reflections of Ireland, Italy, the Pacific Northwest, and Pennsylvania. In “Re-formations,” James Jansma is revisiting pieces from past work. Objects in some ways not fully resolved — now reworked, reformed, and reglazed until they “feel complete.” Both the vessels and wall panels on view show this process: the repeated layering and subtractive removal of clay, as well as glaze materials fired multiple times over. The surfaces are both determined and unpredictable, reflective of the underlying tumultuousness of nature itself. Morpeth Contemporary is at 43 West Broad Street in Hopewell. For more information, call (609) 333-9393 or visit www.morpethcontemporary.com.

Helping Students to Create Better Photos Is the Mission of Princeton Photo Workshop

“E

veryone may have a camera, but not everyone knows how to see,” explains Alan Kesselhaut. “A famous photographer once said, ‘The pictures are out there. We have to learn how to see them.’” Adds Barbara Cuneo, “A good photographer has to notice.” They should know! Owners of Princeton Photo

IT’S NEW To Us

Workshop, Kesselhaut and Cuneo opened their firm in 2013, after a successful career in the construction business. Change was in the air, and photography had long been an interest, they explain. “We wanted to make a change, and we decided to open a photo workshop with instruction, classes, and field trips.” Design Photography Kesselhaut, who has a degree in design photography, is in charge of classes in photo editing as well as many of the field trips. Cuneo handles the business and marketing end, and six other instructors teach classes and also oversee the field trips and summer camp. “Photography can be solitary, even lonely,” points out Kesselhaut. “It’s nice for people to get together, with photography as the focus.” Classes are available for beginning through advanced students and cover many areas. Photo field trips, photo day camps, private and group instruction, and group and corporate workshops are all offered. Getting to Know Your Digital Camera is an introduction to digital photography, basically for beginners, and is offered several times a year. This can include the basics and provide the technical and

visual foundation for creating outstanding pictures. Camera settings, rules of composition, how to see and use color, light, and gesture in the images are all covered. “Once they have been introduced to these digital adventures in photography, the students have opportunities for more advanced classes and workshops,” notes Cuneo. “These include practical instruction on digital photography, how to take good images, using available light, portrait photography, and how to take travel and street photos that engage the viewer and spark the imagination.” Other classes explore special photography and teach advanced skills using colors effectively, working with a model, advanced composition, learning to use photo editing software, and even taking better pictures with smartphones. Guest Instructors For the past few years, respected guest instructors f rom C a nada, G er m a ny, and California have come to Princeton for weekend workshops. Their emphasis is on teaching macro photography and black and white photography, and students have been enthusiastic learners and participants. In addition, this year, the Photo Workshop plans to offer a day of infrared photography exploration. Students are all ages — as young as 7 and as old as 80, and every age in between. Some have very little experience, others have been honing their photographic skills for many years. In addition to nearby areas, students come from Connecticut, New York, Long Island, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Children and teens are eager participants, reports Barbara Cuneo. “We do a lot with teens, and we help them to take time to look. These kids have been born into the digital age, and they are

generally fast learners in digital technology. Therefore, we help them to focus on how to observe and compose a good image and how to make it into their art.” On the other hand, she notes, “For some of the more mature photographers, the class may be the first time they have worked with a digital camera. But they come with a practiced eye for subject and composition.” Subject and composition are essential for a good photograph, emphasizes Alan Kesselhaut. “Every photograph should have a definite subject and be well composed. Your viewers should know immediately what you, the photographer, are trying to say.” Light and Color “It’s good for the students to look at art to see how the painters handled composition and subject,” adds Cuneo. “We take the students to the Princeton University Art Museum to look at the paintings and see how the artists focused on that. And light is so important and can be so different — dim light, bright light, for example. We look at the paintings to see what the artists did with light and color.” Summer camps and field trips are an important part of Princeton Photo Workshop’s curriculum. Summer camp is available for teens three times during the summer. Full Immersion Photo Camp: From beginner to Advanced is held twice, and Getting To Know Your Digital Camera is offered once. These camps, which are held five days a week, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., give young photographers the opportunity to practice the fundamentals of digital photography while exploring their creative expression and having fun, explain Kesselhaut and Cuneo. “Working with their own digital cameras, teens receive field-based and class

In the classroom and on location, experienced instructors explain camera settings, the use of light, and the importance of composition, giving each camper a lot of personal attention. “In Full Immersion Photo Camp, students engage in hands-on processing, learning to organize and enhance their images with photo editing software. “In the fall, we hold a gallery evening, displaying the campers’ favorite work. Family and friends are astonished by the proficiency and artistry of their camper’s photographs.” Art Underground Field trips, which are three hours, include excursions to a variety of different places, says Cuneo. “We go to New York and Philadelphia, to locations in Princeton, Belle Mead, Lambertville, and rural settings, including a horse farm. We go to Grand Central Station, and work with a tripod. We have a two-part Subway Series called Art Underground in which we teach the essentials of street photography, and how to approach people. This can also be helpful when people want to take pictures when traveling.” Other field trips include visits to New York’s Central Park, the Metropolitan Locally Owned and Operated

Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Art Museum, and the historic Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, among other locations. “We have a variety of workshops throughout the year, at different times in different locations, and for different skill levels,” she adds. “We also do corporate and group workshops, and have had events with the Garden Club, Princeton University, Rutgers University, consulting firms, and high schools.” As an educational enterprise, Princeton Photo Workshop believes that training and practice are the fundamentals in becoming a better photographer. “With practice and application, you are always lear ning something new,” points out Cuneo. “In the beginning, the kids coming to class may not really know how to use the camera; after the classes, they can leave as photographic artists!” Alan Kesselhaut explains that all digital cameras today have the technical ability to take good photographs regardless of price. “The name brands make very good cameras that are simple enough for the beginner and have the capability to do more advanced work as the photographer learns to improve his or her skill.” When asked to recommend a camera for a new photographer, he suggests specifics to consider: budget; what do you like to take pictures of (landscapes, wildlife, family, buildings, etc.)?; and how does the camera feel in your hand? “Ask the salesperson to tell you more about each camera with these questions in mind.” Exceptional Teachers Pr inceton Photo Workshop plans to add two new instructors to the staff, one from New York and one from Philadelphia, notes Cuneo.

“Our experienced instructors are first and foremost exceptional teachers who are passionate about sharing their skills with students. We are rigorous in the selection of our instructors. They have to meet our high standards. Not only do they have to be good photographers, they have to be good teachers. To be a good teacher is a gift.” “I love seeing our students and teaching them how to enjoy photography,” says Alan Kesselhaut. “I love giving them helpful tips. For example, take pictures of the same subject from different angles, above and below, to the left or right. In this practice, by moving a few feet or inches, you capture surprisingly different images. “And, remember: if you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough!” “Every day is different,” adds Cuneo. “And part of the fun is that we are always learning, and we are always adding something new for our students. I love the beginning classes and watching the students learn and blossom. Photography can be a lifelong journey.” Pr inceton Photo Workshop offers gift certificates, a welcome introduction to an exciting photographic adventure.

othing tastes better on a cold day than homemade soup and a tasty grilled cheese sandwich. Now, a new restaurant in town provides both, and a lot more too! Eatery@Princeton opened in January at 180 Nassau Street, the former location of Cox’s Market, that longtime Princeton mainstay.

IT’S NEW To Us

Eatery@Princeton is ready to carry on the tradition of an independently-owned establishment providing customers with quality food at affordable prices. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, take-out, and catering are all offered, with emphasis on down-to-earth, homestyle cooking. “It’s American comfor t food,” report owners Nadir Gillani and Karim “Mike” Sopariwalla. “Ever ything is ver y f resh, w it h lots of vegetables, a var iet y of homemade soups, our grilled cheese sandwiches, and ‘Market Bowls,’ filled with many fresh vegetables, greens, rice, and chicken or salmon.” Restaurant Business Both owners are originally from India, and Nadir Gillani has a 30-year history in the restaurant business, both in India and the U.S. “I grew up in my family’s restaurant business, and when I came to the U.S., I had restaurants in Jersey Cit y and New York.

many years, I had eateries near New York University in the city.” “ I w a s l o o k i n g for a change, and I had always liked Princeton,” he continues. “It turned out that this location was available, and it seemed just right. We wanted to be in town, and be a real community gathering place.” They are off to a great start. Customers have been coming in since the restaurant opened, enjoying both the food and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. “We are very encouraged,” reports Gillani. “People have been coming in all the time, and we have many regulars already. Some are coming in every day.” And for many of the regulars, the earlier, the better. The Eatery opens at 7 a.m., and there are always early risers on hand. The choices are appealing and delicious: among them, omelets, eggs any st yle, French toast, pancakes, croissants, and bagels. Great Breakfasts “We have great breakfasts,” says Gillani. “The Tuscan omelet with roasted peppers, tomato, baby spinach, basil pesto, andouille sausage, and fresh mozzarella is a big favorite, as is our original French toast, w ith three thick challah bread slices, grilled in egg batter with Madagascar vanilla, sugar cinnamon, and a hint of orange zest.” The list goes on: wild blueberry or banana pancakes, and all kinds of egg dishes, including on a roll with bacon, sausage, or pork. Lunch is equally popular, and the expectation of homemade soup or one of the special grilled cheese sandwiches is tantalizing to many customers. “Homemade soup is one of our specialties, including roasted vegetable, chicken, lentil, and French onion, all served with hand-rolled whole wheat flat roti (Indian bread),” notes Gillani. “they are available every day, as is our number one specialty, our grilled cheese sandwich. We have many choices and use a combination of different cheeses and sauces.” Twelve different versions of this old favorite are available, and all have their fans. Among the choices: the Mac

Melt, the old fashioned mac and cheese with jack and cheddar cheese; Italian Mafia featuring roasted peppers, tomato, pesto, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and thin-sliced garlic; Flying Cuban with sliced oven-roasted turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, pickle, and mustard; and the California Melt, with oven-roasted turkey, avocado, cheddar, and jack cheese. Choice of breads include 7-grain, Texas toast, ciabatta rolls, and wraps. Extra toppings are also available. In addition, hamburgers are on the menu, including veggie burgers, and a variety of cheeseburgers. Market Bowl Another important choice at the Eatery is the Fresh Market Bowl, filled with assorted fresh vegetables, brow n rice, greens, and choices of grilled chicken, salmon, or vegetable substitute. Also included are shredded Vermont cheddar cheese, crumbled feta, and chickpeas. Dressings and sauces feature Thai coconut curr y, organic tzatziki sauce with cucumber, balsamic, Caesar, ranch, honey, and sriracha aioli. Vegetables include roasted beets, honey-roasted butternut squash, charred Brussels sprouts, steamed

cauliflower with turmeric; chopped tomato, edamame, chopped Holland cucumber, broccoli, and roasted red peppers. Smoothies are a big favorite at the Eatery; a variety of fr uit-based, including strawberr y/ banana, w ild berry, and mango passion are offered, along with the popular vegetable smoothie, with coconut, spinach, carrot juice, and banana. Other beverages include an assor tment of juices, such as cold pressed (Naked Juice), and coffees, with espresso, cappuccino/latte, and cafe mocha among the favorites. Also, teas, masala chai, and hot chai latte are available. A v ar i e t y of co ok i e s, brownies, and fruit platters are popular desserts. Any Size Event Prices at the Eatery are very affordable. Breakfast choices range from $1.95 (egg on a roll) to $7.95; sandwiches are from $7.95, soups from 2.95; and Market Bowls, also from $7.95. Smoothies are $6.95, and coffee from $1.95. Catering is also available, and as Nadir Gillani points out, “We cater any size event and any kind, such as wedding receptions, birthday parties, anniversaries, and others. Breakfast, lunch, and dinners choices are all offered.” In the short time it has been open, the Eatery has

DVD REVIEW

The Style, Strength, and Daring of Stéphane Audran

f the seismic impact of the deaths of film stars could be measured, Jeanne Moreau’s might have scored a 7 or 8 on the Richter scale last August. Not so the death last week of Stéphane Audran, at least not in this country, where she is best known as the title character in Babette’s Feast (1987). Her stature in France was such that her passing was announced by the culture minister. Moreau’s was announced by President Macron. In 2001, after referring to the cliché that life is a mountain (“You go up, reach the top and then go down”), Moreau said, “To me, life is going up until you are burned by flames.” She was 73 at the time. Audran’s self-portrait of herself was less scripted. At 56, she claimed that she liked “jumping into the unknown.” Six years later, she told another interviewer that acting “starts with the clothes” because “the way you wear your clothes is the way you are.” Smoking in the Street The dynamic of daring and dress informs Hélène, the stylish schoolteacher who saves a killer’s soul in Le Boucher, and Hélène, the stylish ex-stripper who prevails against odds in La Rupture. Both films were released in 1970 and directed by Audran’s then-husband Claude Chabrol. She was 38 at the time. Audran comes elegantly, funnily into her own early in Le Boucher as she and Popaul the butcher (Jean Yanne) are walking tipsily down the street after a winedrenched wedding party. She’s wearing a classy sleeveless black and white check dress and smoking a cigarette, which surprises her companion, who looks less like a butcher than a man about town (this is a French butcher after all); it seems that women don’t smoke in the street in the provinces, certainly not the town schoolteacher and headmistress, Mademoiselle Helene, as her students call her, and here she is sashaying along with the cigarette jutting from her mouth and a swagger in her walk as if she and le boucher were strolling down the Champs-Élysées. To put it crudely, she’s smoking the hell out of that cigarette, moving it around, making it talk, and generally doing things with movieland’s favorite prop that would prompt a smile from seasoned smokers like Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart. It’s not that she’s showing off or arrogantly defying the conventions of the town. She’s simply high, enjoying the back and forth with a new friend who may be a serial killer; most of all she’s feeling good in that dress, wearing it as if it were made for her and she were made for it. As she said in the interview quoted above, it’s all about “the way you wear your clothes.” Balzac’s Hélène In four of her groundbreaking films with Chabrol, Audran plays a woman named Hélène. The others are the unfaithful wife whose husband murders her lover (La Femme infidèle, 1969), and the faithful wife whose husband murders his lover (Juste avant la nuit, 1971). If, like me, you’re wondering why Chabrol chooses to

impose this fictional surname on an actress who happens to be his wife, the most likely answer is the scene in Le Boucher where Mademoiselle Hélène has her little ones writing out a piece of heightened prose from Balzac’s wildly romantic novella, Une femme de trente ans, something it’s hard to imagine any real-life teacher assigning to kids their age, even in France. After some giggling because the passage being dictated is about an exotic woman who shares the same surname as their teacher, the children dutifully copy into their notebooks a sentence freighted

with phrases like “a feeling of greatness” and “a majestic firmness” that ends with “a profound sentiment that would impress the coarsest nature” — all about Balzac’s Hélène. When Chabrol’s Hélène is startled to see Popaul the butcher (Jean Yanne) peering in the window, trying to get her attention as she’s reading the concluding words, you realize that Chabrol is the teacher and you’re the class. In case you (and the class) don’t get it all down, she repeats the part juxtaposing “profound sentiment” with “coarsest nature.” Having set his theme to the tune of Balzac’s prose, Chabrol has the butcher enter the classroom with a leg of lamb wrapped like a bouquet for “Mademoiselle Hélène,” which is what Popaul calls her throughout

the film; she’s the teacher and he’s the student, and it’s his cherished Mademoiselle Hélène whose life he spares when there’s nothing but a knife between them. Powerfully Intimate In the study of Alfred Hitchcock that he co-wrote in 1957 with his fellow director Erich Rohmer, Chabrol refers to Balzac’s Honorine and The Village Curé. In the context of “a fundamental leitmotif of world literature,” the idea is that Balzac is writing about “the eternal conflict between liberty and morality” and “the burden of a remorse or a scruple from

which the hero — and more often yet the heroine — is freed only by a confession.” While it’s doubtful that Chabrol would reprise the idea more than a decade later in his screenplay for Le Boucher, Popaul is freed by confessing to Hélène and showing her the murder weapon before turning it on himself; it’s also clear that this is the sort of situation Audran had in mind when she spoke of “jumping into the unknown,” because his confession has freed her as well; this is her moment, this is when she becomes truly heroic, rising to the sort of transcendent romantic occasion of which Balzac was a master; as he falls heavily into her arms, she removes the knife, helping him stem the flow of blood and somehow managing to half-carry, halfdrag him to her car, which she drives to

a hospital as he’s bleeding out; since the only way to move him is to hold him close, it’s a powerfully intimate sequence. As Hélène follows the gurney toward the hospital elevator, Audran is finding her way through acting’s “unknown.” It’s not as if she’s any less poised and competent and sure of herself than she was walking through the town with a cigarette in her mouth or teaching class or cooking a leg of lamb or dancing the Gavotte with her students or shielding a child from the sight of a butchered corpse; now the clothes she’s wearing are secondary to the way she’s holding the dying man’s frantic needful gaze, keeping her eyes on his, her face expressing the “profound sentiment/ coarsest nature” essence of the moment when she leans close to give him the kiss she had refused him earlier in their relationship. It’s one of the tenderest scenes in the work of a director more adept at violence and passion than sentiment. What about the Hélène in Balzac’s novella? As a child, she accidentally on purpose pushed her little brother off a cliff to his death and as a young woman eloped with a murderer. Going to Extremes Balzac is also present in in the wildly melodramatic extremes of La Rupture with its boarding house of eccentrics (Chabrol’s hommage to the Maison Vauquer in Pere Goriot) and in the Balzacian machinations employed by a lowlife played to the sleazy hilt by Jean-Pierre Cassel, who destroys himself attempting to frame and defame Audran’s character, Hélène Régnier. The notion of acting as a stylish plunge into the unknown is in play from the moment Hélène hammers her psychotic husband (Jean-Claude Drouot) with a frying pan after he tries to strangle her and hurls their young son into a wall, fracturing his skull. Vincent Canby’s New York Times review reflects the film’s visceral power with Canby admitting that he finds “it difficult to sit comfortably through a movie in which innocence and virtue are so hopelessly imperiled,” and because it has “so many beautiful things in it,” he’s “tempted to suspect some terrible weakness in himself rather than in the film.” Watching it is “tortuous” and “emotionally harrowing.” Although he finds Audran “extraordinarily gifted,” he apparently doesn’t recognize how the film’s excesses only serve to glorify her beauty, strength, and sheer moral stamina. At first you wonder about her shadowy past, but the more you see of her, the more you appreciate her power. Her seeming vulnerability to the onslaught of devices meant to bring her down only reinforces your sympathy and your awareness of the dimensions of her resistance. She’s indestructible. And when she finally sees what her vile antagonist is up to and tells him off, you feel like cheering. oth Le Boucher and La Rupture, along with Babette’s Feast and a number of Audran’s other films are available on DVD at the Princeton Public Library. —Stuart Mitchner

U.S. in the 1960s, and then his reflection on his past and his legacy as an elderly man in the U.S. Collins’ film does not attempt to cover all the details about the singer’s life, but rather mirror’s Heaney’s reputation as an elusive and enigmatic man. The film features performances by Colm Seoighe, Macdara Ó Fátharta, Jaren Cerf, Lisa O’Neill, Damien Dempsey, and sean nós singers Mícheál Ó Chonfhaola and Pól Ó Ceannabháin, and black and white cinematography by Richard Kendrick. Song of Granite had its world premiere at the 2017 South by Southwest Film Festival and was Ireland’s official entry as Best Foreign Language Film in the 2018 Academy Awards. The film is presented in both English and subtitled Gaelic. Collins, who directed and co-wrote the film, has been making films since 1998 and has directed over 30 films, i nclu d i ng fe at u re f i l m s, documentaries, and short experimental works. He has made documentaries on the writers Michael Hartnett, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, and John McGahern, and he co-directed a documentary on Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. The series is coproduced by the Lewis Center for the Arts. The spring 2018 edition of the series is organized by Fintan O’Toole as acting chair of the Fund for Irish Studies.

Acclaimed filmmaker Pat Collins will screen and discuss his feature film, Song of Granite, a portrayal of the life of sean-nós singer Joe Heaney and his music, on Friday, April 6 at 1 p.m. at the Princeton Garden Theatre, 160 Nassau Street. An audience discussion with the filmmaker will follow the screening. The event, which is free and open to the public, is presented by the Fund for Irish Studies at Princeton University. Guests should note that this event is earlier in the day than usual for Fund for Irish Studies Series events. Joe Heaney was widely regarded as the greatest practitioner of sean-nòs, a form of traditional unaccompanied Irish singing. Shaped by the myths, fables, and songs of his upbringing in the west of Ireland, his emergence as a gifted artist came at a personal cost. Heaney was said to have a repertoire of over 500 songs in his memory. He became a star in the American folk music revival of the 1960s, first at the Newport Folk Festival and then in various cities across the country, where he performed to soldout crowds. The film provides a portrait of the artist, covering his childhood in Connemara in the 1930s, his travels throughout the U.K. and

Tickets are $25 for general admission and free to students with an ID. They may be purchased at the door or online at www.drydenensemble.org.

“Three Russian Dances” will be the topic of a presentation by Simon Morrison, professor of music and Slavic languages and literatures at Princeton University, at the meeting of 55-Plus at 10 a.m., Thursday, April 5, at the Jewish Center of Princeton, 435 Nassau Street, Princeton. Everyone is welcome. Admission is free, with a $3 donation suggested. In this talk, Morrison will explore the meaning of three Russian dances from three canonic ballets, considering how music and dance generate meaning, and how the dances relate to broader topics in Russian history, culture, and politics. Simon Morrison specializes in 20th-century music, particularly Russian, Soviet and French music, with special interests in dance, cinema, aesthetics, and historicallyinformed performance based on primary sources. He has conducted archival research in St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Paris, London, New York, Washington D.C., Copenhagen, and (most extensively) in Moscow. After graduating from the University of Toronto, Morrison earned a doctorate from Princeton and joined its music faculty in 1998. 55 -Plus was organized in 1986 as a non-sectarian group to promote social contacts and friendships among men and women who are either retired or who have flexible working hours. Members meet at 10 a.m., usually on the first and third Thursday mornings of each month (except late June, July and August) to listen to and discuss a wide range of topics presented by prominent speakers. 55-Plus meetings are open to the general public.

MCGEGAN CONDUCTS BEETHOVEN & MENDELSSOHN

imes have certainly changed when dramatic actresses can now play action heroes in blockbuster movies. For instance, Jennifer Lawrence had already been nominated for an Academy Award (Winter’s Bone) when she agreed to star as Katniss Everdeen in the adaptation of The Hunger Games trilogy. Alicia Vikander is following Jennifer’s lead by assuming the role of Lara Croft in the remake of the Tomb Raider. She had won an Academy Award (The Danish Girl), and also received critical acclaim for her performances in Ex Machina and Testament of Youth. As a result, Tomb Raider 2.0 has a versatile leading actress who is not only beautiful and dispatches her foes in a convincing fashion, but also has the emotional range to convince the viewers to invest in her character. Vikander’s accomplishments are all the more impressive because English isn’t even her native language, having been born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden. At the picture’s point of departure, we find Lara eking out a living in East London as a bike courier, and training to be a kickboxer in her free time. She doesn’t have to be so poor, because she’s the sole

heir to a massive fortune that was left behind by her parents, Lady and Lord Croft. While her mother is really dead, there’s no proof that her father (Dominic West) has died. Lord Croft was an archaeologist/explorer who disappeared seven years ago on an expedition to an uncharted island in the ocean off the coast of Japan. He was searching for a fabled tomb rumored to contain a key to a supernatural realm. Instead of accepting that her father is dead, and thereby becoming wealthy, she follows a set of mysterious clues that her father left behind that lead to a mysterious island. Upon arriving, she relies on her wits, and her acrobatic and archery skills, to survive in an epic fight to the death against Mathias Vogel (Walton Goggins) and his cohorts who are armed to the teeth. Very Good (HHH). Rated PG-13 for violence and some profanity. In English and Cantonese with subtitles. Running time: 118 minutes. Production Studios: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/Warner Brothers Pictures/GK Fims/Square Enix. Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

With Sophomore Davis Returning to Full Speed, Tiger Baseball Starts Ivy Play With 2-1 Weekend

hris Davis has displayed an ability to bounce back in emerging as a star this spring for the Princeton University baseball team. Last year, Davis saw his freshman campaign cut short by injury after eight appearances, rupturing his spleen against the University of Maryland in mid-March to get sidelined for the rest of the spring. Going through some arduous rehab and getting back on the diamond for summer ball, Davis is back to full strength, starting in left field and batting lead off for the Tigers. “It has been great, I feel 100 percent,” said Davis, a 5’9, 190-pound native of Avon, Conn, whose father, Rece Davis, is a longtime ESPN reporter and studio host. “I am just happy to be out here with these guys. We are out here riding for each other.”

Last Sunday against visiting Cornell, Davis came through for his guys, stroking a line drive single to plate the winning run in the seventh inning as Princeton bounced back from deficits of 2-0 and 4-2 to prevail 7-6 and go 2-1 in the three-game set to open Ivy League play. “I had to go up and get some good metal on the ball,” said Davis, recalling his hitting approach. “As soon as he bounced that pitch and Taylor [Beckett] got to second, I was thinking about a line drive up the middle because I knew that would score Taylor. He threw a fastball up in the zone and I was able to get the bat on it and get it through.” For Davis, the clutch hit was particularly sweet as he had misplayed a sinking liner in the fifth inning that helped Cornell tie the contest at 6-6. “It was absolutely a big

moment, I had that error in left field early in the game that let a couple of runs score,” said Davis, reflecting on the win that improved Princeton to 5-11 overall and 2-1 Ivy. “We tied it up and it was good to put that behind me and be able to go get a hit and put us back on top.” Getting a win in the rubber game of the series with Cornell was key for the Tigers, who rode a superb relief pitching effort from sophomore Eli Kimbell as he gave up just one run in five innings of work to earn the victory. “I definitely don’t think we played our best baseball, we can play better but ultimately an ugly win is better than a pretty loss,” said Davis, who went 6-for-15 over the weekend as Princeton split a doubleheader with the Big Red on Saturday, dropping the opener 5-2 before coming back to win the nightcap

10-4. “Eli pitched great today. He did the same thing up at Rutgers on Wednesday. He came in with the bases loaded and nobody out and got us right out of it.” With Princeton coming off a rough 2017 campaign that saw it go 12-28-1 overall and 7-13 Ivy, Davis and his teammates are determined to get back on the winning track. “I think there is excitement with the younger guys. The freshmen have come in and have been able to contribute right away but we have got some senior leadership with guys like Asher Lee-Tyson and Ben Gross,” said Davis, who is now hitting .286 with a team-high 12 runs. “We are hungry to bounce back. We are hungry to go out there and prove that we are the best team in this league. We had a tough season last year. We are winning team and we want to be on top.” The route to the top of Ivy baseball will be different this spring as the league has changed its format from a two-division set-up which saw the winners meet in the Ivy League Championship Series to three-game sets against each of the seven other league foes with the top two teams overall advancing to the ILCS. “We like the three-game weekend, we are going to see how it works out,” said Davis, who will look to keep up his hot hitting as Princeton hosts Monmouth

on April 5 before heading to Brown for a three-game set with a doubleheader on April 7 and a single game on April 8. “It makes it tough with the top two teams getting in there without the division. We are excited to see how it works this year. We are confident we can use it to our advantage.” While Davis was excited to see the Tigers come out on

top against Cornell last Sunday, he knows there is plenty of room for improvement. “It showed a lot of character that we were able to get into the win column today but ultimately we didn’t play good baseball,” said Davis. “We need to be cleaner on defense and be more locked in on every at bat. We wasted a lot of at-bats this weekend.” —Bill Alden

Tess D’Orsi wasn’t overly concerned when the Princeton Universit y women’s lacrosse team found itself trailing 12th-ranked Syracuse 9-5 at the half last Thursday evening. “Our coaches believed in us and every single one of us knew we had it in us to have a comeback,” said sophomore star midfielder D’Orsi, reflecting on a recent stretch which saw that Princeton rally from a 6-1 deficit for a 13-12 win over Penn State on March 19 and fought back after trailing 13-6 in the second half before falling 15-12 to Dartmouth on March 24. “We are no stranger to the comebacks. We know how that feels and we know how to come out just as hard as we finished the half and finish the game strong.” D’Orsi started the second half strongly against the Orange, tallying with 27:32 left in regulation, triggering a four-goal run that saw the Tigers knot the game at 9-9. “It is always a sigh of relief to get that first goal.” said D’Orsi, a 5’4 native of Sudbury, Mass. and member of the US Under-19 women’s lax program who accounted for three of the four answered goals in that run. “We wanted to keep that momentum.” Although D’Orsi ended up with five goals in the second half, Syracuse regained enough momentum to hold of f t he Tigers and pu ll

out a 17-16 win. “I was just trying to execute what our coaches were drawing up,” said D’Orsi, in assessing her second half outburst. “I was just trusting our coaches’ game plan.” Teaming up with freshman star Kyla Sears has helped D’Orsi pile up the goals. “Kyla is really, really talented, I can trust everyone with the ball but her especially,” said D’Orsi, who chipped in a goal and an assist to help the Tigers get back in the win column with a 15-6 victory at Delaware last Saturday. “I know what she will do once it is in her stick. She will do phenomenal things; it is great to work with her.” With a season of college lacrosse under her belt, D’Orsi is looking to do more on and off the field for the Tigers. “I am taking on more of a leadership role; it is easy as a freshman to just play in your role on the field and try to be a contributor,” said D’Orsi, who is currently tied with junior Kathryn Hallett for second in the team in goals (16) behind the 29 scored by Sears. “Now as a sophomore, you have more experience and you have higher expectations from the coaches. I am putting higher expectations on myself, just trying to continue to grow and be a better teammate as well as player.” Although the Tigers were

SPRING PLANTING? RIGHT TREE, RIGHT SITE With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

There is something exciting about planting a new tree that feels just great. Trees are permanent additions to your property and, therefore, require thought and planning when selecting the right one. Determining the proper species for the proposed planting area is critical to saving time and money and avoiding future disappointments. As with any worthwhile investment, it is essential to take time to investigate and select wisely. Choosing a site to plant a tree, or choosing the proper tree for a given site, is a decision not to be taken lightly. Here are some basic guidelines to help make that decision. Of course, our arborists can walk through the steps with you to ensure your investment reaps optimum future return. Plant and Site Factors for Consideration Hardiness: Make sure the tree is adapted to the temperature extremes of our geographic region. Light exposure: Note how many hours of direct sunlight the planting site receives. Space constraints: Allow adequate room as the plant matures both above and below ground. Form and function: Consider species attributes; i.e., evergreens vs. deciduous foliage, shade tree vs. ornamental qualities.

D ave Rob e r t s d o e s n’t mince words in describing what he expects from his Pr inceton High baseball team this spring. “Last year, you could call it rebuilding,” said PHS head coach Roberts, whose team posted a 6-17-1 record in 2017. “This year we are old and we have no excuses. We have eight seniors, four juniors, a freshman and a sophomore.” The Lit tle Tigers have built a solid pitching rotation in junior Teddy Durbin, junior Ben Amon, senior Paul Cooke, and senior Mike Ramirez. “Teddy has improved and gotten better from last year. We expect the same consistency this spring,” said Roberts of the lefty who struck out four and gave up three runs on three hits in 4 2/3 innings to get the win as PHS defeated Hamilton 8-4 in its season opener last Saturday. “He just goes out on the mound and competes. That is what I expect from him.

Ben has looked really good in the preseason; he worked really hard over the summer, fall, and winter, and his velocity is up. Either Cooke or Ramirez will be in the three spot, so we are experienced in the staff. From my perspective, we are set there with those four.” The smooth-swinging Cooke provides consistency to the PHS batting order. “Paul will be in the second spot, like that Kris Bryant/ Aaron Judge move in the majors, guys who hit second because that is a huge RBI spot,” said Roberts. “Paul had 18 RBIs last year. His offensive capabilities are special.” The Little Tigers boast other capable hitters at the top of the lineup including senior Jaedyn Paria, Durbin, senior Alec Silverman, junior Eli Okoye, and senior Z ack Yo e l s on - A n g e l i n e. In the victory over Hamilton, Yoelson-Angeline led the way, going 4-for-4 with two RBIs with Tommy Reid going 3-for-4 with two RBIs

and Silverman picking up two RBIs. In the field, battle-tested catcher senior Silverman, a three-year starter, will anchor things. “Alec is our stalwart there, he is the backbone,” said Roberts, whose team will look to keep on the winning track as it hosts W W/ PNor th on April 4 before playing at Notre Dame on April 6, at the Lawrenceville School on April 9, and at Trenton on April 10. “We are giving him a lot of responsibility this year; I have had a ton of conversations with him. He had a great year last year. I expect to see that out of him if not better.” Around the diamond, Durbin and junior Reid will play first base with senior David Valente at second, promising freshman Tommy Delany at shortstop, and Ramirez at third with Okoye, Paria, and Cooke in the outfield with the versatile Reid also seeing time there depending on who is pitching. In the view of Roberts, being stuck indoors for much of the preseason due to the inclement weather that hit the area served to bring the team together. “The time in the gym has jelled them; there is good cohesion and I am super happy with the leadership structure,” said Roberts, noting that Silverman and Ramirez are serving as team captains. “The key to success is just play consistent infield defense. I think that plagued us a little bit last year.” —Bill Alden

Featuring Deep Pitching Staff, Potent Hitting, Hun Baseball Looking to Reach Higher Level Even though it has won two straight state Prep A titles, the Hun School baseball team still believes it has something to prove. “We are definitely fired up but we are pretty hungry which is great and it is not just coming from the coaching staff,” said second-year head coach Tom Monfiletto. “There is an overall feeling in the entire program that we want to get better and we want to take another step. We want to hang with some of the better teams in the state. It is not only the state, but our county is incredible too. The Mercer county Tournament is something that has always been important to us. Unfortunately as a coach, I haven’t experienced anything past the second round in the MCT. It is a goal of ours to get past that and break that barrier and see what we can do in the county. The Raiders took a good first step in 2018, starting the season by defeating Lawrenceville 12-1 last Thursday in its season opener.

knocking in two runs. “I think there is still a lot of room to improve, but I like where we are at right now,” said Monfiletto going into the opener. “I like the prospect of us getting better by the end of the year.” Hun has assembled what appears to be one of the better and deeper pitching staffs in the area, featuring senior Murdock, junior Jack Erbeck, senior Thomas Ramsay, junior Blane Soper, senior co-captain Justin Dirk, senior Alex Cukier, post- graduate Frank Del Guercio, and freshman Rick Erbeck. “Our pitching was great; that was a highlight in Florida on our spring trip,” said Monfiletto. “Everyone threw well.” Hun also thrived offensively down in Florida. “I would say seven of our hitters swung the bats well against great pitching and some younger pitching as well,” added Monfilet to. “They were really able to adjust and do the things that we are teaching them. We hit a lot a lot of line drives down there which I was really happy about.” Junior co-captain McG wire Tuffy, senior Pontrella, junior Jack Erbeck, senior Adam Wijaya, senior Zucatti, and junior Melnick figure

to be at the heart of the batting order for the Raiders. “If we are able to hit with runners in scoring position and we are able to score those runs consistently, we will be in good shape,” said Monfiletto. The Raiders should get consistent play defensively with Melncik at catcher, DelGuercio and Jack Erbeck at first base, sophomore Ben Petrone, a Princeton High transfer, at second, Tuffy at shortstop, and Wajiya at third with Pontrella, Zucatti, and Soper, among others, in the outfield. With Hun running a gauntlet of tough foes this spring, it will need to maintain a good approach on a daily basis. “We have a really difficult schedule as we did last year,” said Monfiletto, whose team is slated to host the Hill School (Pa.) on April 4 before playing at St. Augustine Prep on April 6 and the Peddie School on April 7. “I think, this year, it is ramped up even a lit tle more, so another thing that will be a key for us is staying positive throughout the season. It will be taking whatever lumps hit us and growing from them and getting better the next day. Hopefully as the season goes on, we will improve. That has always been the goal.” —Bill Alden

STARTING WITH A BANG: Hun School baseball player Chris Pontrella takes a cut in a game last year. Senior star outfielder Pontrella helped Hun get the 2018 season off with a bang, going 3-for-5 with a run and three RBIs as the Raiders topped Lawrenceville 12-1 last Thursday in its season opener.

Sparked by Deubner’s Finishing Touch, Hun Boys’ Lacrosse Rallies to Beat PDS Hav ing lost its annual clash against local rival Princeton Day School the last t wo years, the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team was fired up to turn the tables on the Panthers when the foes met last Wednesday to open the 2018 season. “It was our first game last year and again this year; we have been thinking about it all offseason,” said Hun sophomore star Trevor Deubner. “While we were in Arizona for preseason, we were thinking about it. We definitely had this game circled on our calendar.” The Raiders were off their game in the early going, trailing 6-3 at halftime. “I think possessing the ball is big, we definitely didn’t do that in the first half,” said Deubner. “Man for man, I felt like we were more athletic than them, but they are a really well coached team and a great program.” In the third quarter, Hun seized momentum, scoring two unanswered goals to draw within 6 -5 heading into the fourth. “After the first half, things started to work well and click and everyone played well,” said Deubner. “I really felt that momentum in third period; we just let that take off.” PDS tallied early in the final frame to go up 7-5 but Hun responded with five unanswered goals to pull away to a 10-8 win. Deubner scored the go-ahead tally to give the Raiders an 8-7 lead with 5:07 remaining in regulation. “I just tried to the get to the net; Connor [Green] is a great goalie and I have played with him before and he has made a lot of saves on me,” said Deubner, reflecting on the pivotal. “I just saw an opening, took it, and scored. I didn’t have that much trouble getting to the net; it was just finding the right time sticking it.” Deubner was proud of how the Raiders took control of the contest down the stretch. “That is what we were going to do straight from the beginning. It was great to pull away at the end,” said Deubner, who ended up with two goals in the win. After struggling at times last spr ing in his debut campaign, Deubner drew confidence from his strong opening day performance. “In the first few games, I suffered an injury with my back. It was not as good a year as I wanted to have,” said Deubner. “I am a lot happier. I am really healthy and ready for everything to go well this year.” Hun head coach MV Whitlow was happy to see his squad overcome the halftime deficit in topping PDS. “We just said stay the course, do the little things, keep your composure, keep

hustling, and make the little plays,” said Whitlow, reflecting on his halftime message. “We felt confident the whole time, even when we were down 6 -3. A lot of these guys were young guys last year and what we are focusing on is growth. We are trying to educate them and empower them to be great decision-makers. When they do that on the field, they see the immediate success.” W hitlow acknowledged that it is not easy to succeed against the Panthers. “Give PDS a lot of credit. They are very well coached, their guys played incredibly hard,” said Whitlow. “I have a lot of respect for their coaches. I think any time you win, it builds confidence. We feel like we have built our own confidence by how hard we worked in the preseason and offseason. The confidence is there because the kids have put the work in.”

Whitlow has confidence in Deubner’s ability to be an offensive catalyst for the Raiders. “Trevor is a natural quarterback with great vision,” added W hitlow, who got two goals and an assist from Devon Tavani in the win with Devon Cowan chipping in three goals and Gabe Craven making 11 saves in goal. “Teams game-plan for him but he is complemented by some other good players, like the two Devons and Jackson Barletta. Sam Uva did a great job in the second half on face-offs and Gabe Craven made some great saves in goal.” In Deubner’s view, coming through against PDS should be a spark for Hun going forward. “We have the talent in practice when everything goes well,” said Deubner. “We needed a win under our belts to uplift us and just get ready for Lawrenceville (on April 7) and the opponents that we have coming up.” —Bill Alden

With senior star Elon Tuckman scoring three goals, including the 100th of his career, PDS built a 6-3 lead at half-time last Wednesday in the annual clash between the local rivals. “We came out and controlled tempo well in the first half in the first and second quarter,” said PDS head coach Rich D’Andrea. “We capitalized on some early opportunities.” In the second half, though, Hun took control, tallying two answered goals in the third quarter and reeling off three straight goals late in the fourth on the way to a 10-8 win over PDS. “Give their goalie [Gabe Craven] credit. He came up with a whole bunch of saves in the second half there,” said D’Andrea. “Hun made some nice in-game adjustments, they came out in a zone in the second half. It is a game of adjustments and we didn’t execute in the way that we could have.” While D’Andrea was disappointed by the outcome, he saw nice things from his team. “I think on the whole, most of our guys showed some good things,” said D’Andrea. “All of us collectively need to cut down on mistakes, myself included.” Senior star and co-captain Tuckman was very good as usual, ending up with four goals on the day. “Elon just brings talent, poise, and great leadership to us, both as a locker room guy and certainly on the field,” said D’Andrea of Tuckman, who tallied three goals and three assists last Monday to help PDS earn its first win of the year with a 9-1 triumph over Princeton High. “He is one of the smartest kids that I have coached and so, in part, he is out there coaching the offense. He really takes ownership over that.” The PDS offense also got a spark from scrappy sophomore Cal Caputo, who contributed a pair of goals and an assist against Hun. “Cal is tough he is a waterbug in there and he has a way to find space,” said D’Andrea. “He has got a great stick and he catches everything. We are expecting a big year out of Cal. He is one of the hardest working guys; he does all of the morning workouts and he shoots nonstop. Cal is a talented kid so it is great to see him coming into his own.” Looking forward, D’Andrea is confident that the Panthers can do some great things this spring. “To our credit, we have not lost a lot of lacrosse games the last couple of years. There is lot of value in learning from losing,” said D’Andrea, whose team Lawrenceville on April 4 before playing at Springside Chestnut Hill (Pa.) on April 6 and at Pennington on April 10. “We have good core values that we hold true to and I think we have a really good sense of who we are. In reality, this is a lacrosse game at the end of March, there are a lot of things to extract from this. It is a long season. We look at the arc of this thing; we want to be better at the end than we are at the beginning.” —Bill Alden

Stuart Lax Primed to Make Progress This Spring As Freshmen Have Bonded Quickly With Veterans Although the Stuart Countr y Day School lacrosse team is welcoming a dozen freshmen to its roster this spring, the addition of so many new faces hasn’t kept the squad from getting on the same page. “We are such a large group of underclassmen and they bring a ton of energy,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik, whose team posted a 6-10 record in 2017. “I love how our juniors and seniors feel that camaraderie quickly with them; I think that is really important. We have 25 out for our program right now and every kid knows how important her participation is and the impact she can make, starting as freshmen.” Bruvik is confident that her two seniors, Ali Hannah and Gin Gin Plehn, will make a big impact on attack. “Ali and Gin Gin will be leading the attack,” said Bruvik, noting that junior Miranda Maley is also in the mix in that unit. “Ali is looking strong, she has been working out. She is off to Rider next year to play field hockey and she has been doing her hockey workout which has been paying off for lacrosse. She and Gin Gin have been good leaders.” The midfield will be led by junior Grace Sheppard who will be joined by a slew of new faces including sophomore transfer Caroline Mullen along with freshmen Catherine Martin and Lia Bull-Krieg. Juniors Maria McBride, Bre Williams, and B ey Shana Clark will spearhead the back line with freshmen Anna Dawson and Morgan John vying for the goalie position. “Both kids have limited experience but they are hard workers and have a good attitude in terms of understanding how important that position is,” said Bruvik, referring to her goalie situation.

In Bruvik’s view, taking good care of the ball is a key to success this spring for the Tartans. “It is going to be really important for us is to make sure that we can control the ball on attack,” said Bruvik, whose team gets the season underway this week by playing at Nottingham on April 4 and then hosting Hun on

April 6 and Gill St. Bernard’s on April 9. “We need to be possessing the ball and making sure that we are giving ourselves the best opportunities for a shot and a finish. In the midfield, we need to be winning the draws. We have to make sure that we are playing good defense and that when we lose possession, we are working hard to win the ball back.” —Bill Alden

George William Bilyeu, Sr. George William Bilyeu, Sr., born July 2, 1934, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, at the age of 83. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Suzanne (Malcolm) Bilyeu; his daughter, Leslie Langer and husband Peter of Wilmington, N.C.; his son George Bilyeu, Jr. and wife Melissa of Monmouth Junction, N.J.; his d a u g h te r, Ro b i n S i e g e l and husband Kenneth of Somerville, N.J.; his son David Bilyeu and wife Laurie of Highlands Ranch, Colo. He is also survived by five grandsons: Ian Siegel (wife, Amanda), Eric Siegel, George Bilyeu III, Reese Bilyeu, and Shawn Bilyeu, and one great-grandson, Connor Siegel. Born and raised in the Bronx, N.Y., the son of Kingdon and Margaret (Conover) Bilyeu, George graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, N.Y. A few years later, George met his wife, Suzanne Malcolm, at St. James Episcopal Church where they were married in 1957. In 1957, George joined the U.S. Army Reserves and received an honorable discharge in 1963. Mr. Bilyeu retired at the age of 57 after a 34 year career with the New York Telephone Co. Friends and family never tired of hearing his many funny stories about those years with the telephone company. I n 1966, G e or g e a n d his family moved to North Brunswick, N.J., where they lived for 30 years, before moving to Princeton. George was a strong man of God whose life was transformed through his faith in Jesus. As an active member of Nassau Christian Center, he served as Assistant Treasurer, Deacon, Steward, and led the Men’s Ministry group. George also helped manage the church’s men’s softball team. George was an amazing, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He and his wife, Suzanne, celebrated their loving marriage of 60 years last April with their family. Together they enjoyed traveling and supporting their kids and then grandchildren in sports and musical performances. George was always the one in the stands cheering the loudest.

Dorothy Ann Stine Dorothy Ann Stine, 92, died after a brief illness on March 20 at Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. Born in Princeton, on November 30, 1925, her parents were David S. Lloyd, co-owner of the F.A. Bamman grocery store on Nassau Street and a former town councilman, and Edith Rocknak. Dorot hy ( who b ec ame known as “Dot”) attended public schools in Princeton. One of her favorite school stories had to do with a troubling math homework assignment that she couldn’t solve. Sitting on the stoop of her parents’ Harrison S t re e t hom e, agon i z i ng over the homework assignment, she spotted a man known around town for his scientific and mathematical prowess who was on his daily afternoon walk. She approached him for help. He obliged. His name was Albert Einstein. Dorothy graduated from the University of Richmond with a BA in French, setting the stage for two of her children to attend the university as well as one of her granddaughters. She enjoyed traveling but didn’t get a lot of opportunity to do so – she did take a big trip to Europe (London and Paris) before settling into her work life. Dorothy had worked as a proofreader/editor for the Princeton University Press and the Educational Testing Service. She was on a double-blind date when she met her future husband, Lester – known as “Les” (they were not on the date together but she caught Lester’s eye and they began dating shortly afterwards.) Dorothy and L es married in April 1955 and soon thereafter they bought their first home in the Hampton Hills section of Ewing Township, N.J. Dorothy soon stopped working to become a full-time Mom – her three children Rick, Leslie, and Kimberly were born over the course of the next handful of years. Dorot hy was creat ive. She enjoyed painting watercolors and oils, especially landscapes. She became interested in ceramics and eventually had her own kiln (two of them) installed in the basement of Dorothy and Les’ second home just down the street from their first home. Family friends had a cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire and invited the Stines to visit. In coming years, that became

well loved and well read since 1946

an annual ritual with the Stines renting a cottage until Les and Dorothy bought a cottage of their own. It was where Dorot hy spent many summers, painting, relaxing by the water, watching Les and the kids playing with canoes and sailboats. She loved to play Bridge and on rainy days at the cottage when family friends visited, Dorothy was often the first to suggest grabbing a deck of cards to play a few hands. Dorothy loved to garden – in her backyard she had a large herb and vegetable garden that supplied the dinner table for many months each year. When the newspaper was delivered each mor ning, Dorothy would grab two sections – the crossword puzzle and the stock listings; while she may not have been strong in textbook math, she had a love for investing and the stock market. She faithfully opened a ledger each morning and recorded the closing prices of her portfolio. She did this for years. She enjoyed traveling. She and Les took trips to Hawaii and Florida for holiday and to Minnesota to visit Les’ relatives. But other than her European trip after college and Les’ military service which had him based in Frankfurt, Germany during the Korean War, they never traveled outside of the country together until 1988 when they took a trip to Portugal and Spain. She also traveled with her son-in-law’s family to China and Hong Kong. With two of her three children and all of her grandchildren living in or around Virginia Beach, Va., it was a simple decision where to move after Les died in 1991. She moved there in 1994. Dorothy is sur vived by her three children: Richard “Rick” Stine and his wife, Andrea, of Princeton, N.J.; Leslie Neatrour and her husband Dr. Peyton Neatrour of Virginia Beach, Va.; and Kimberly Katz and her husband Howell of Smithfield, Va. In addition, she

is survived by four grandchildren and one niece: Dr. Kristin Neatrour and her husband Dr. Janus Patel of Charleston, S.C.; Kaitlyn Neatrour of Richmond, Va.; Greg Neatrour of Virginia Beach ; Brendon Marston of Gulfport, Florida; and Nancy Whitbeck of Litchfield Plains, Maine. She was predeceased by her sister and her husband, Edie and George Whitbeck. Dorothy’s ashes will be spread in the gardens of Trinity Episcopal Church in Trenton, N.J., on April 4 where Lester’s ashes were also spread. A memorial service will be held at a future date. The family asks that memorial donations in Dorothy Stine’s name may be offered to: CASA for Children of Mercer and Burlington Counties, 1450 Parkside Avenue, Suite 22, Ewing, N.J. 08638.

Nathaniel Hartshorne Nat han iel Har t shor ne, who died March 28, 2018 in Blawenburg, N.J., at 11:15 a.m. at the age of 91, spent most of his career as an editor and freelance magazine and newspaper writer.

A National Treasure, a play he wrote with Charles Leeder, was produced in 1988. In March, he produced Keeping in Touch, a collection of his letters.

DO YOU NEED A BIDDING WAR TO SELL YOUR HOME? There’s a lot of hype about bidding wars - after all, what’s not to love about having multiple buyers vying for your home? But the fact is, you don’t need a major bidding war to get a great price for your home. All you need is one great offer.

28 Spring St, Princeton (next to Chuck’s)

Unfortunately, a lot of sellers gauge the success of their listing by how many people they have competing for their home. If they only have a one or two offers during the first weekend or week of their sale, they think the sale is a flop. In reality, unless the market is super hot, having too many people submitting offers right off the bat could be a sign your home is priced too low.

609-924-0112

www.hinksons.com

“Always Professional, Always Personal”

A more realistic rule of thumb: Aim for one to three offers within the first 30 days after listing your home for sale. If you get more, fine. If you don’t get any reasonable offers, it’s a good sign you need to reconsider your pricing. Again, let your agent be your guide. A skilled agent can position your home so it attracts the right buyer - and all it takes is that one buyer to close the deal.
