Westminster Faculty Wants Seats at Rider’s Table During Sale Deliberations Since Rider University announced plans last week to sell Westminster Choir College, ideally to an institution that would keep the music school in Princeton; faculty, students, parents, and alumni of Westminster have been hard at work toward that outcome. Westminster’s faculty issued a statement this week insisting that their two deans be a part of the process.

A second option, in which Rider would sell to a buyer that would relocate the music school and leave Rider to sell the Princeton campus, is something The Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College and others devoted to the school want to avoid. Westminster, which was purchased

by Rider in 1992, has been in Princeton since 1932. Rider is selling the school to help fill a projected deficit of more than $13 million.

“This is urgent. We have to work together,” said Constance Fee, president

Mayor Updates Affordable Housing Litigation

At its meeting on Monday, April 3, Princeton Council voted to adopt the 2017 amended municipal budget and engaged in a work session on requests for the 2017 capital budget. In addition, Mayor Liz Lempert gave an update on the ongoing litigation regarding Princeton’s affordable housing obligation.

“Whatever Princeton’s ultimate obligation is determined to be, the number will be significant,” Ms. Lempert warned. The town has been in contact with the Princeton school district to let them know they should anticipate additional housing units, she added.

Princeton is in court because it is required, like every town in New Jersey, to come up with zoning for its “fair share” of affordable housing through 2025. From 1999 until 2015, the state’s Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) was not functioning. As a result, the state’s Supreme Court created a process for towns to go to court to have their affordable housing plans approved and their obligations determined. COAH would previously have

performed that process.

In 2015, the Fair Share Housing Center called for Princeton to add 1,480 new affordable units. But the number determined by the town was 445 units. Three consultants who worked on the issue are currently revising that number, because the Supreme Court has ruled that the years when COAH was dysfunctional must be included when each town’s obligations are calculated.

During those years, Princeton added affordable housing units at the developments Copperwood, Avalon Princeton, and Merwick-Stanworth, as well as two group homes for disabled adults. “Princeton continues to be a leader when it comes to affordable housing, and we have demonstrated how it can be built in a way that benefits the larger community and successfully adds to our Continued on Page 10

Princeton Tourism, Town and Battlefield, Look Forward to Busy Season Ahead If Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS) and Princeton Tour Group (PTG) have anything to say about it, the town of Princeton and the nearby Battlefield Park are poised to become major East Coast tourist destinations.

“It really is criminal what we have to leave out!” said PTG founder Mimi Omiecinski, describing her Shameless Name-Dropping Tour, which “touches on almost everything” in Princeton.

Noting sites connected with the pivotal 1977 Battle of Princeton, as well as Princeton University and Morven, Kevin Tremble, former president of Crossroads of the American Revolution Association and an active member of the New Jersey preservation community, struck a more pragmatic note. “The civic education and commemoration that can take place at the hallowed ground in Mercer Continued on Page 5

Concierge Medicine

There’s a new trend in healthcare, and it’s gaining momentum in our area.

By Sarah Emily Gilbert (Originally published in Princeton Magazine) Dr. Barbara A. Brown (left) and Dr. Lynne B. Kossow of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine.

F

or the past two years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clients’ healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care.

Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors.

According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine.

“Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,” explain the doctors. “The current insurance model is built upon a problem-based economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meet…This is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.”

“For the past two years, we have been offering our Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program as an optional program for our patients,” they continue.

“Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice

was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional care… We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively [do that].”

Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,200 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015.

They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians.

Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown’s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling.

Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan.

According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctors’ emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends.

“Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,” the doctors explain. “We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.”

Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. This is helping revive medical students’ interest in internal medicine, which is predicted to increase the number of primary care doctors and revitalize our healthcare system. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.

The Princeton Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program is $1,200 per year. The fee can be paid monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually, and credit cards are accepted as payment. All medical services are billed through the patient’s insurance company as usual.

Princeton Lifestyle Medicine is located at 731 Alexander Road, Suite 200 in Princeton, New Jersey. For more information call 609.655.3800 or visit www.princetonlifestylemedicine.com.

The Board of Directors of Neighbors Fundraising for Neighbors (NF4N) announces the formation of a new non-sectarian 501(c) (3) charitable organization.

Based in Monroe, NF4N is dedicated to facilitating community fundraising efforts for individuals in need who are facing medical challenges and require medical services and equipment to improve their quality of life. NF4N is available to help families who are unable to organize an IRS-approved charitable fundraiser yet still face the staggering uninsured costs of a medical crisis.

Fundraising activities that NF4N will support can be designed to pay for unreimbursed medical expenses.

This may include expenses such as insurance deductibles and co-payments, travel expenses incurred for medical treatment, wheelchair accessible vans and other equipment not covered by insurance, and home modifications designed for handicapped accessibility.

Funds raised through NF4N can also be used for approved housing costs, utility expenditures, and food purchases.

NF4N manages the recordkeeping and the collection of donations for fundraisers, and distributes the net proceeds to verified suppliers of the particular services and equipment beneficiaries need. NF4N does not provide staffing or financial support for any fundraising activities.

One of NF4N’s first recipients is 10-year-old Madison Smith, who at age one was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) — a rare genetic disorder affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord that results in loss of mobility. Madison’s mother, Jen Miller-Smith, explains that “Having a disabled child, the expenses go way beyond what insurance will cover.” Many businesses are unwilling to donate to cases like Madison’s unless they can be guaranteed a tax deduction. This is exactly what NF4N provides, and Miller-Smith says the organization’s help has made it much easier for her family to secure donations.

Question of the Week:

“How are you getting your yard and garden ready? Do you hire a landscaper or do the work yourself? Also, why did you decide to participate today?”

(Asked at Saturday’s Princeton Battlefield Clean-Up Day) (Photographs by Charles R. Plohn)

“We’re trying to do all the work ourselves; me and my husband and our two kids. I can’t say that we are experts at this point, but it’s a really fun family activity. I helped start a group of kindergarten families, Little People: Big Change, and we are trying to teach the kids by doing community service activities together. This was one of our activities. There are a bunch of kindergartners and their families here from Community Park and a few other local schools. ” —Tara Oakman, Princeton

“I live in the West Winds community, so we have a landscaping company who does the work for all of the homes there. I’m here today because I am retired and it’s something that I’ve wanted to do. I joined the Battlefield Society, and we’ve had some wonderful events. It’s great to see the kids out here working. This gets people involved, and we need that.”

PDS Climate Change Conference, April 23

Princeton Day School has partnered with Princeton University to create the Energy and Climate Scholars program at the school. Each year, a select group of PDS sophomores, juniors, and seniors meet monthly over a working dinner with Princeton University PhD students, learning and conversing about energy, climate, and related science, economic, policy, and politics.

The Energy and Climate Scholars have now organized, with Princeton University and the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association.

The Student Climate Change Conference will take place at the Watershed on Sunday, April 23. Open to all high school students, the event will feature workshops on policy, water, climate change, food, and agriculture. The goal is for 100 high school students from all over the state to attend the conference on April 23.

Liz Cutler, Upper School English teacher and sustainability coordinator, is the faculty advisor to the Energy and Climate Scholars. When announcing the conference, Ms. Cutler said, “Students have planned every aspect of this conference, from writing grant proposals, to connecting with local businesses to donate food, to organizing the schedule, and to advertising through social media. They will run the small group discussion and the logistics of the day. I am very proud of them. They want all students to know what they now know about energy and climate.”

For more information and to register, visit www.pds.org.

“We normally do our landscaping as a family. Our grandfather also comes to help us a lot of the time. I signed up today because I enjoy working outside and it’s part of my school project. I go to the Wilberforce School. We have also learned a lot of history here today. ” —Jeremy Sallade, Princeton

“We have a garden box, and if we’re planting things in there, we water and keep up with the weeding by ourselves. We have a landscaping service come over to mow the lawn. I came here today for several reasons. Number one is that I love history and this is obviously a big historical landmark. It feels good to help be part of its preservation so other generations can enjoy it the way that we can now. The second reason is because I am a Boy Scout and this satisfies my community service involvement. It’s the best of both worlds!”

—Luke Brown, Hopewell Township

“I always do all of my gardening by myself. I have a rain garden that needs to be chopped down every year. With the warm weather in February, I was really able to get started early with that. I also mulch my own leaves each year. I came here today because I love exercise, it’s a nice way to give back to the town by helping to maintain the Battlefield, and my garden at home is very small so I never can get enough.”

Jane Fremon, fou nder of the Princeton Friends School (PFS) and its head for the past 30 years, described the school’s central study theme for 2016-17: “All of us are tremendously excited about the ways in which the Roots and Routes theme will bring to everyone — students as well as adults — a heightened appreciation of the fact that people everywhere, throughout history, are deeply connected to the places they inhabit, are part of a long story that stretches back many centuries, and are active agents in the story of the future that is currently being written.”

Ms. Fremon was speaking specifically about the school curriculum and their current project to renovate the 1781 Schoolmaster’s House, but the story of her own life is also one involving a multiplicity of roots and routes that have brought her to her current position as a leader in “doing education differently.”

There were interesting, important episodes in West Virginia ; Blairstown and Roosevelt, New Jersey; New York City; and England, but most of the roots and routes that shaped Ms. Fremon and her views of life and education are based in Princeton: R iver s ide, Va lley Road, P r i nceton High S chool ; Princeton University; teaching fifth grade at Princeton Day School; and the Princeton Quaker Meeting.

“Recounting all this,” Ms.

Fremon reflected, “I see all the threads that come together.”

West Virginia to Princeton Ms. Fremon was born in Charleston, West Virginia, where her parents started a school. “Because the schools in Charleston were so terrible, they started a little independent school called the Valley Day School,” Ms. Fremon said. “They hired a woman who later became my godmother to run it.

This woman’s pedagogy was very much in the progressive mode. She created a curriculum that was based in the place where they were, very individualized, drawing on the interests of the students.

Her life partner worked at Germantown Friends School, so I had early exposure to Friends education through my godmother.”

When Ms. Fremon was 3, the family moved to Princeton because her father was transferred to the New York branch of Union Carbide.

Her mother was a freelance writer, and Ms. Fremon had three sisters.

“So when we got here,” Ms. Fremon noted, “my mother was very involved in local politics. She was on the school board and was president of the board in the years when the merger happened between the two districts.”

Transformative HS English After elementary school at Riverside, seventh and eight grades at Valley Road,

Jane Fremon then on to PHS, Ms. Fremon found herself in a senior English class that shaped her future life’s trajectory.

Years later, in October 2015, at a panel discussion at the John Witherspoon School Auditorium, she described that experience.

“In my senior year at PHS I ‘opted out’ of honors English in order to enroll instead in a class taught by David Carr, a teacher who was doing it all quite differently.

Though Mr. Carr assigned some readings to the class as a whole, we were also expected to carry out and present to the group projects of our own choosing.

And though Mr. Carr was obligated to issue grades for our work, he actually didn’t.

Instead he asked us, at the end of each term, to present Continued on Next Page

Continued from Preceding Page

to him, with justification, the grade each of us thought we deserved. And as far as I know, he followed our recommendations.”

Also assigned in that class was a journal in which the students were encouraged to write about the course work and about their lives outside the classroom. “The journal was a vehicle for us to carry out our most important work — coming to know ourselves as thinkers, as learners, and as people,” she recalled.

In an entry from the spring of her senior year, as she speculated about possibilities for the upcoming summer, she wrote, “I may want to be a counselor at a day camp somewhere around here. Who knows? I may end up being a teacher after all.”

Ms. Fremon observed that 15 years later “Much of what I’d experienced in Mr. Carr’s class found expression in the founding vision of Princeton Friends. Like Mr. Carr, we too knew from the start that in order to create a true learning community, one in which students would feel free to take risks and welcome mistakes as part of the learning process, there was simply no place for competition in the classroom. We have never issued grades nor administered standardized tests at Princeton Friends, and instead we assess progress through observation and description. And just as it was in Mr. Carr’s class, student choice and voice are woven into the fabric of our work with children, as these inspire authentic student engagement and ownership of the learning process. And above all, just as it was in Mr. Carr’s class, a Princeton Friends education is about all of life, as the social, emotional, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of a child’s being are valued at least as highly as the intellectual and academic.”

College and Career But before she would be ready to found her ow n school, there was the matter of college, graduate school, and 12 years teaching in elementary and middle school classrooms.

“It was 1970, the year of the Cambodia invasion, right at the time that Princeton University was opening up the gates in front of Nassau Hall. Before that the gates were closed. Then symbolically the gates opened,” Ms. Fremon said.

In the second class of women admitted to Princeton, Ms. Fremon described the difficulties of the early years of co-education. “It was a challenge coming onto campus the first day with banners hanging out of dorm windows saying ‘bring back the old Princeton.’ I put my head down, and swam and spent a lot of time in the ceramics studio.” She swam on the men’s team her first year, since there was no women’s team.

Graduating with an English major, Ms. Fremon, who had spent summers as a camp counselor, taught students with learning disabilities on the Rider campus, and done some coaching, knew she wanted to work with children and found a job as assistant teacher in the first and second grades at Roosevelt Public Schools.

Soon afterwards she enrolled in Bank Street College and during her second year at Roosevelt went into New York City for a day and a half each week to work towards her master’s degree in education. When a position opened up in the fall of 1977 at Roosevelt for fourth and fifth grades, Ms. Fremon became a full-fledged teacher.

She described her thesis work in completing her degree at Bank Street, a project that already foreshadowed beliefs that would help to provide the foundation for PFS: “Bank Street College is known for its progressive approach to education, and I was creating this curriculum for my master’s thesis on the Pine Barrens that was very interdisciplinary and essentially thematic.”

Princeton Day School After a total of six years at Roosevelt, Ms. Fremon moved to PDS, where she taught f if t h g rade E ng lish for the next six years, steadily moving, along with middle school department colleagues Nancy Wilson and Sally Gilbert, towards views that were more and more closely aligned with Quaker thinking about education and life.

She described a week-long seminar that each of them attended at different times with David Mallory at the Westtown Friends School, bringing teachers together “to dig into what this work of teaching is all about.”

The three also began to attend regular meetings at the Princeton Quaker Meeting House.

“Meanwhile at PDS,” she noted, “we were doing some exciting things in the middle school. We had these interdisciplinary week-long thematic courses that were eye-opening in terms of how you could mix ages just fine, and kids were engaged in learning even though there weren’t any grades attached, and the interdisciplinary approach was very exciting.”

In the fall of 1984, Ms. Gilber t and Ms. Fremon were asked by a leader of the Friends Meeting what they thought the Princeton Meeting should be doing differently. “We think there ought to be a school here,” they said. A month later they were invited to meet with the leadership group of elders, and that session launched a three-year process of feasibility studies, talking to people, creating a board of trustees, and preparing the groundwork for the opening of the Princeton Friends School with 19 students in the fall of 1987.

“It wasn’t that I wanted to leave PDS,” Ms. Fremon said. “I loved PDS. It was a great place, but there were things about size that made it impossible to do what I wanted to be doing. And I wanted to be in a school where there were no grades and no standardized tests.”

The PFS Vision “T hese were the pr inciples from the beginning: mixed ages, interdisciplinary curriculum, no grades or standardized tests, the notion of collaboration,” she explained. “It’s not an us and them relationship with teachers. It’s all about how we build our knowledge together. That fed in right at the beginning and it’s still with us. So much has grown

up and continues to develop and change, but important aspects of the school have been absolutely consistent since day one.”

Though the school has grown from 19 to 125 students in grades pre-K to 8, Ms. Fremon emphasized that the teachers are constantly talking with each other, “and that allows us to collaborate very well and to know our students well and to share our expertise. The students are known across the grades here, because we’re talking to each other so much.”

She went on to highlight the role of education in amplifying students’ voices.

“Everything we do is about suppor ting k ids’ voices.

That’s a huge thing here,” she said.

Ms. Fremon lives in Yardley, Pa. with her husband

Paul Scutt, a co-founder of the Princeton Learning Cooperative who is now running the Bucks Learning Cooperative in Langhorne.

She adopted her daughter Georgia from China in 1996 at the age of 2. Ms. Fremon likes to garden, still likes to swim, and said she’d “get back to clay work” when she retires.

In her closing reflections, Ms. Fremon returned to thoughts about roots and routes and the notion of placed-based education : “No other school is situated as we are, historically and environmentally, in this corner of Princeton. How can we make the most of this land on which we sit and all of the resources around? I believe that children can get a firm connection with this place and they will be able

diversity,” Ms. Lempert said.

“The Council and Planning Board are committed to putting together a plan that to the best of our abilities reflects good planning principles.”

The town has been trying to reach a settlement with the Fair Share Housing Center on the number of units for the past several months.

“If a settlement is reached, then both the Council and Planning Board will develop a plan to meet that obligation, and approve it at a public meeting,” Ms. Lempert said. “If a settlement can’t be reached, Princeton will continue in court and the obligation will be determined by the judge. We expect that the decision could be appealed up to the Supreme Court since the ruling would determine the

formula to be used to determine other municipalities’ obligations statewide.”

Ms. Lempert’s complete statement is on the town’s website, princetonnj.gov.

The meeting also included the promotions and swearing in of four members of the Princeton Police Department by Chief Nicholas Sutter. Following a ceremony by the police honor guard, and in front of their families, Christopher Tash was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, Ben Gering to sergeant, Thomas Lagomarsino to sergeant, and Leonard Thomas to corporal.

D&R Greenway Land Trust Partners With Bike Exchange

D & R Greenway Land Trust has announced a new partnership with the Trenton Bike Exchange. D&R Greenway’s Princeton headquarters at the Johnson Education Center will become a new drop off point for donated bicycles.

T h e n o n p r o f i t Tr e n ton Bike Exchange is run by volunteers who collect, condition, and sell used quality bikes from its shops in Ewing. The Bike Exchange offers a large selection of low cost bikes that have been reconditioned and are ready to ride. In addition to providing low-cost bicycles, the Bike exchange raises money for the Boys and Girls Club of Trenton, and helps Trenton teens get bicycle repair and job readiness skills. Since its founding in 2009 and after eight years in business, the Bike Exchange has sold more than 14,000 bikes and raised more than $670,000 for the Boys and Girls Club.

“We want to encourage people to use our bicycle trails,” says D&R Greenway Vice President Jay Watson.

“The Exchange is a great way of recycling bicycles that some owners may no longer use, but are in excellent condition, assuring that everyone has an affordable opportunity to get out in nature. Cycling is a great way for families to spend time together outdoors, get a cardiovascular workout, see our preserves, and reap the health benefits of nature, all while keeping unused bicycles out of landfills.”

One of the many treelined cycling opportunities D&R Greenway offers is a few blocks away from the Bike Exchange’s Trenton store. D&R Greenway has been working on bridging the D &R Canal Path gap between Trenton’s Battle Monument and Bordentown City for the Circuit Trails, one of America’s largest trail networks. When completed, the Circuit Trails will include 750 miles of multi-use trails for cyclists, walkers, runners, commuters, and families for recreation and active transportation.

More than 300 miles of the Circuit Trails are now open, serving people across nine counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, Central, and South Jersey. Ultimately, working w ith Mercer County, D&R Greenway will lead the way to connect the Tulpehaking Nature Center, Abbott Marshlands and the Lawrence Hopewell Trail to the Circuit network.

“The Trenton Bike Exchange is excited about this collaborat ion w it h D & R Greenway,” says Ira Saltiel, Trenton Bike Exchange Volunteer Director. “The synergy between the two organizations is perfect as our mission is to get people on quality bikes at a low cost and D &R Greenway provides places to safely ride and enjoy the outdoors.

Money generated through the donated bikes enables funding for children to attend after school programs at the Boys and Girls Club facilities.”

Bicycle drop off hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Raising Questions About PPS Per Pupil Cost, Taxes, Diversity, Cranbury’s Reimbursement

To the Editor: After more than four hours of often rancorous discussion during the recent Princeton Public Schools budget meeting, I was extremely disappointed that no one directly addressed the critical question of why Princeton’s gigantic per pupil cost ($24,634) exceeds that of other high achieving K-12 districts in New Jersey, including our neighbors in West Windsor/Plainsboro ($18,677) and Montgomery ($19,155).

When I multiply a $5,500 difference by 3600 students, I get a product of nearly $20,000,000, an enormous annual sum for a town of this size. One Board member briefly responded that economically disadvantaged children require more taxpayer funds without providing an explanation or any examples that would even be remotely acceptable in any workplace forum today. A list of 15 New Jersey K-12 public school districts that have been recognized for high achievement reveals that at least two enroll more economically disadvantaged students than Princeton. They are Montclair ($20,506) and Summit ($19,211).

Another discussion item at the meeting was the existing contract with the “sending” district of Cranbury. Can’t the PPS Board adequately explain why Cranbury only reimburses Princeton $17,000 per high school student while the average per student cost in this district is currently $24,643? Based on the budgets of many high achieving 9-12 regional high school districts in the state, the cost of high school students exceeds that of students in other grades. All of my figures and conclusions are sourced to data from the New Jersey Department of Education.

Once again, Princeton taxpayers must brace themselves for upcoming increases from all three of the very extravagant tax jurisdictions that control our lives, Princeton Public Schools, the municipality of Princeton, and the County of Mercer. Throughout my neighborhood, houses assessed at $500,000 or even less are being torn down with replacements valued at $1.5 million. When annual revenue for the three tax jurisdictions is instantly tripling from the very same property, why should it be necessary to increase the taxes of the existing, struggling homeowners? When we are already paying property taxes that are among the highest in the entire nation, every increase becomes substantial, at least to some of us.

Folks in Princeton often speak of “diversity” and “inclusion.” For retirees, seniors, and the rapidly dwindling middle class of Princeton, all that we get, time after time, is a door that is slammed in our faces, even after some of us have lived here all of our lives. If you do not understand the true meaning of words, don’t use them so frequently or you risk the appearance of dishonesty and hypocrisy.

PCS Expansion an Important Issue: It Should Not Be Allowed to Divide Us

To the Editor: Community discourse should always be respectful and compassionate: we all want the best for our kids. In the past months, much of the discussion around the expansion of the Princeton Charter School (PCS) has centered on the lack of diversity at PCS. While an unrepresentative student body is something that should be corrected, it seems to me that this issue has been blown out of proportion, to the point of tearing apart the fabric of our community. PCS parents and children are not racist, and the Princeton Public School (PPS) community would oppose the expansion even if PCS had been diverse. Let us not pretend that this is the issue at the heart of the disagreement, and let us not label and shame anyone in the community unfairly.

Many issues are at stake — the oversight of a school by an elected board and the ability of the community to democratically decide on how taxpayer money is used on the one hand, and giving families and children in our community a choice of schools on the other hand. In October 2015, Superintendent Steve Cochrane and the PPS district screened the excellent documentary Beyond Measure to a full auditorium of community members: teachers, parents, and students. The point of the movie was well taken: children are not made from a mold, and there is no onesize-fits-all school that is best for everybody. Even public schools that ranks extremely high in the state and country

An Open Letter to PPS Superintendent On Behalf of Not in Our Town Princeton

To Superintendent Cochrane: On behalf of Not in Our Town Princeton, we are writing to thank you for your letter addressing the public use of a racial slur by a white Princeton High School student about her fellow African American students. Your immediate, unqualified, public response made a clear statement to students and parents that this behavior is reprehensible and will not be tolerated in the schools.

We also applaud the vision you provide and the steps that are being taken to address seriously the racism that permeates our society. We appreciate that you mentioned the racial literacy programs Not in Our Town, among other organizations, have created and want to assure you that our members are ready to offer assistance and support for these efforts in the Princeton Public Schools. We believe strongly that the understanding that can be gained through racial literacy is critical for a just society. We hope that

all members of the school community — students, faculty, staff, and parents — participate in this work that will benefit themselves, our community, and our nation. We encourage you to continue to be as proactively transparent as possible about the district’s ongoing plans to address racism. As a community, we need to be able to offer clear evidence of support to the students whose sense of safety is at risk.

AARP Urges Governor Christie to Sign Wounded Warrior Caregiver Relief Act

To the Editor: Governor Christie has an opportunity to honor the struggles many of our veterans and their families face when they come home. The Wounded Warrior Caregiver relief Act (S750), is awaiting the governor’s signature. This program would provide a modest state income tax credit for eligible, unpaid family caregivers, providing critical support for our Wounded Warriors who served in the military on or after the 911 terrorist attacks.

According to a recent AArP report, the vast majority of caregivers spend approximately $7,000 out of their own pockets each year to care for their loved ones. Caregivers support their families lovingly but could use some help.

Without our army of unpaid family caregivers, our healthcare system would collapse.

We all must do our part to support our veterans. AArP is urging Governor Christie to do his part now us by signing this bill into law.

Mailbox Letters Do Not Necessarily Reflect the Views of Town Topics

(as ours are) can sometimes, for a variety of reasons, be a poor fit for a child. Whether the alternative should be a charter school, a magnet school, or easier cross-enrollment in schools that one is not zoned for, it is good to have alternatives. rather than calling others names and tearing up friendships, it would be great if we could all engage in kind, compassionate, and productive discourse about what alternatives are needed and what needs are not met by our public schools, and find ways to meet these needs while maintaining our excellent schools and respecting the democratic process.

These are very stressful and polarizing times. The PCS expansion is an important issue, but we should not allow it to divide us just at a time when we need to be united to fight much more significant threats to our society and democracy. It is all too easy to succumb to the (social-media facilitated) temptation to dehumanize others, but this is ultimately a losing strategy for everyone.

of the Coalition. “We want Rider to succeed. And we want Westminster to survive and thrive. Every cent we’re raising is going to secure the future of the school and keep it where it is.”

Early this week, Westminster composition and music theory professor Joel Phillips spoke on behalf of the school’s faculty. “We insist our deans [Matthew Shaftel and Marshall Onofrio] be directly involved in all conversations regarding potential partners,” he said. “We are confident in and grateful for our campus leaders, deans who know the heart of this great College and understand the primacy of its mission, which is to serve the needs of Westminster’s students.”

Asked whether the faculty’s request will be met, Rider representative Kristine A. Brown issued this statement: “As we have from the beginning, the University will continue to involve the Westminster leadership in each step of the process, including the current phase of identif ying interested parties. Their thoughts and recommendations have been critical to our analysis and are vital to our success moving forward.”

The Coalition, which filed for incorporation status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has been raising funds to pay for lawyers and an accountant, Ms. Fee said. “We need those funds to make this happen.

It’s a very complex network of issues that only a lawyer can unravel. If we were to get a new affiliation with

another institution, it would take a lot to unravel all the little knots in the financial and legal documents.”

Last Tuesday, a day after the sale was announced, the Princeton public school district expressed interest in acquiring the Westminster campus as a location to build a new school. “Should there not be a buyer willing to take on both the [Westminster] college and the campus, Princeton Public Schools would like to be in a position to explore acquisition of the campus in a way that would allow the District to carry on the college’s tradition of exceptional education,” a statement from the PPS reads.

And during a press conference this week, Mayor Liz Lemper t commented that while the ideal situa-

tion would be for the town to keep Westminster at its campus along Walnut Lane, it is also important to consider that enrollment in the public schools is predicted to grow in the near future.

Ms. Fee said she is encouraged that Rider administration recognizes the value of Westminster, which is an internationally-known college focused solely on music. “There is a sense we have now that there is a dawning awareness of the part of board members that this is a valuable entity,” she said. “They are open to letting it stay where it is if someone comes in with a lot of money. We are looking forward to having a seat at the table to make sure this happens.”

Following the appearance of a Snapchat photo accompanied by a racist slur posted by a high school student, Princeton Public Schools continues to investigate the incident and the larger questions of racism in the community.

PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane stated in a letter to parents, students, and staff last Wednesday: “We want to make clear that the student’s statement was unacceptable.

We are investigating the incident, and we understand the anger, sadness, frustration, and even fear the use of the word has created in our community.”

High school social studies teachers met with the superintendent last Wednesday and agreed to use their classes as a forum to discuss the topic. Social studies teacher Jeff Lucker reported, “I was impressed with how seriously my students handled the issue and how thoughtful they were.”

Mr. Lucker added that “one of several recurring themes was the issue of conflating racism and the use of social media and internet privacy.

Some students were clearly of the view that when the conversation veered in the direction of social media it was a distraction from the issue of racism.”

The Snapchat photo, which came to light when it was shared through an online magazine site by another Princeton High School (PHS) student, showed a girl’s face and the caption, “I’m on the bus with a bunch of n———s, help.”

PHS senior Jamaica Ponder, who published the photo and caption with a blog in Multi Magazine titled “Back of the Bus,” wrote, “… this is wrong. It is hurtful and astonishing to see one of our peers so violently shaken by the presence of black people that she had to send out an SOS to her friends.”

The article by Ms. Ponder continued, “Not only the fact

that she’s calling us n———s —that’s old news — and not that she felt comfortable posting it on social media — also old news — but the fact that she genuinely felt displeasure in the utter presence of black kids. That’s terrifying to me.

“I thought we were moving on. I thought this was all over, that the racists were dying out. I didn’t think about the back of the bus until this girl promptly reminded me that’s exactly where I belonged.”

Ms. Ponder last spring wrote on another online site about PHS students playing a “Jews vs. Nazis” beer pong game.

Strong responses to Ms. Pon d e r’s bl o g i n cl u d e d “shocking, sickening, beyond troubling. Jamaica, you are doing the world a great justice by speaking out. Change doesn’t happen if we keep quiet and accept things as they are,” from one writer.

Another noted that this incident was hardly an isolated one, “An exceptional article that speaks volumes to the internal conditions African American children face daily within the Princeton School System, which for many is challenging to believe and face.”

In his letter, Mr. Cochrane discussed the harsh “reality of racism within our world.

We live in a world in which we are regularly exposed to explicit and implicit biases. The news is filled with incidents and commentary regarding cultural differences and tensions. The conversation and conflict are all around us.”

He went on to suggest ways to “help our students and our society move beyond racism” with “courage,” “humility,” and “hope,” stating that “students want and need to be a part of that conversation and to make sense of that conflict. I believe schools have a responsibility to give them a safe space to do that. More importantly, I believe schools have a responsibility to lead the conversations — and the actions — to propel our world

to a place beyond racism.”

Mr. Cochrane cited his meeting with PHS social studies teachers last week, ongoing discussions in high school classes, and a staff development session last month in which many teachers explored racial and genderbased stereotypes “as part of our district’s stated goal of enhancing racial literacy and cultural awareness.” He also mentioned a recent Mercer County Day of Dialogue discussion among 17 area high schools, including PHS, where students and staff discussed the “‘unspeakables’ in their schools — the issues of racial discrimination that affect them in their daily lives and how they can be eradicated.”

Accord i ng to M ich ael Lindgren in The Washington Post, “Bellos’s book is a major accomplishment. His warm and engaging study of Victor Hugo’s 1862 masterpiece renews faith in the idea, so fundamental to the myste-

age continue to be worthwhile objects of attention. In applying a melange of literary criticism, linguistics, political science, and history to the study of one of the bestknown, if least-understood great books of all time, he illuminates the work in a way that transcends conventional literary criticism. Bellos displays a dazzling range of erudition with lightness and easy wit, and almost every section of his book bears surprising insights …. He writes with clarity and grace about the complex political turbulence of 19th-century France and its effect on Hugo …. The section on the publication of Les Misérables is one of the most informative accounts of the mechanics of the 19thcentury book business that I have ever read.”

David Bellos is a translator of modern French fiction and the author of several prize-winning biographies of French literary figures.

Is That a Fish in Your Ear, his study of translation, has itself been translated into Korean, Spanish, German, and French. He teaches French and comparative literature at Princeton University and holds the rank of Officier des Arts et des Lettres.

Wordsworth’s “Westminster Bridge” and the Presence and Passion of His Sister Wordsworth & his exquisite sister are with me ….

—Samuel Taylor Coleridge, July 1797 esides inspiring and uniting Londoners and Londoners-in-spirit the world over, the terrorist atrocity on Westminster Bridge two weeks ago generated numerous online shares of William Wordsworth’s sonnet, “Composed Upon Westminster Bridge.” Lines like “A sight so touching in its majesty” and “Earth has not anything to show more fair” were everywhere. One blogger declared “We must never stop seeing this through Wordsworth’s eyes,” and someone posted a clip of actor Ian McKellan reading the poem.

Born almost 250 years ago this Friday, Wordsworth was 32 at the time, and the poem, he said in later years, was “composed on the roof of a coach on my way to France.” According to his biographer Juliet Barker, “Wordsworth was not a poet who composed in solitude, or on paper,” his preferred method of composition being “to walk and talk,” so he may well have been reciting a first draft as the coach crossed the bridge. The person actually putting together the pieces of the moment, at half past 5 or 6, the 31st of July, 1802, however, was his “exquisite sister” Dorothy, writing in her journal: “It was a beautiful morning. The City, St. Paul’s, with the river and a multitude of little boats, made a most beautiful sight as we crossed Westminster Bridge. The houses were not overhung by their cloud of smoke, and they were spread out endlessly, yet the sun shone so brightly with such a fierce light, that there was even something like the purity of one of nature’s own grand spectacles.”

His Sister’s Spirit By the time Wordsworth completed the poem a little over a month later, on September 3, 1802, the date noted in the title, he had consulted his sister’s journal, discussed the moment with her, and invested the sonnet with her spirit, as he does more explicitly in “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey.” There she’s intimately present in the form of “nature and the language of the sense/The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,/The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul/Of all my moral being.” She’s also the embodiment of the youth he was five years earlier in the same spot, his “dear, dear Friend,” in whose voice he catches “The language of my former heart,” and reads “My former pleasures in the shooting lights/Of thy wild eyes.” Here again Dorothy and nature intermingle, as he beholds in her “what I was once …. Knowing that Nature never did betray/The heart that loved her; ‘tis her privilege,/Through all the years of this our life, to lead/From joy to joy,” to “so inform/The mind that is within us, so impress/With quietness and beauty,” and “lofty thoughts” against “the dreary intercourse of daily life.”

Wordsworth makes the union with his sister all the more emphatic in Book XI of his autobiographical masterpiece The Prelude, where it’s she who “in the midst

B

of all, preserved me still/A Poet, made me seek beneath that name,/And that alone, my office upon earth,” she who led him to “those sweet counsels between head and heart” which “Hath still upheld me and upholds me now.”

Dorothy’s presence and passion can be felt all through “Westminster Bridge,” where only someone “Dull … of soul” (an echo of “the dreary intercourse of daily life”) could pass by “A sight so touching in its majesty.” She’s there in “the beauty” of her journal’s morning, the sense of the city “Open unto the fields, and to the sky;/All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.”

She’s in the sun’s “first splendor, valley, rock, or hill,” sharing the “calm so deep,” the “sweet will” of the river, and you can sense the spontaneity of her nature in the open emotion of the last lines, “Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;/And all that mighty heart is lying still!”

Appearances In letters describing his first impression of Wordsworth’s “exquisite sister,” Samuel Taylor Coleridge spoke of her manners “simple, ardent, impressive,” her eye “watchful in minutest observation of nature; and her taste, a perfect electrometer. It bends, protrudes, and draws in, at subtlest beauties, and most recondite faults.”

Viewed by Thomas DeQuincey, Dorothy’s face had some “Egyptian brown” in it: “rarely in a woman of English birth, had I seen a more determinate gipsy tan”’; her eyes were “wild a n d s t a r t l i n g, and hurried in their motion” as if “some subtle f ire of impas sioned intellect burned within her.” Compare that to the Opium Eater’s first meeting with Wordsworth, whose poetry he revered: “never before or since” had he “trembled at the approaching presence of any creature that is born of woman.” But at that “moment of intense expectation,” “eyes fascinated,” he sees “Upon the whole, not a well-made man … pointedly condemned by all female connoisseurs in legs,” not that there was an “absolute deformity about them.” The “worst part of Wordsworth’s person,” however, “was a narrowness and droop about the shoulders which became striking, and had an effect of meaness.”

Wordsworth’s French Lover DeQuincey’s caricature aside, it was Wordsworth’s conquest of a “female connoisseur” named Annette Vallon that had inspired his journey to France in the summer of 1802. And it was Dorothy who urged him to undertake this mission to see his nine-year-old illegitimate daughter Caroline for the first time and to admit to Annette “face to face” his plan to take a wife in England that October.

Whenever I’m tempted to think unkind thoughts about Wordsworth, I go back to “Intimations Of Immortality” and “Tintern Abbey,” and passages like the one speaking of “a sense sublime/Of something far more deeply interfused,/Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,/And the round ocean and the living air,/And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:/A motion and a spirit, that impels/All thinking things, all objects of all thought/And rolls through all things.”

“Sympathy With the Invisible” I spent a paranormal hour in Dove Cottage during a camping trip in the Lake Country around 40 years ago.

Cheapskate that I am, I almost gave up going in rather than pay 80p. It was a sunny day, and I’d walked there from Ambleside, past the Mediterreanan mirage of Rydal Water.

If you want to have a nice normal unhaunted everyday experience at Dove Cottage, don’t read Thomas DeQuincey’s opium rhapso dies the night before. He lived there for two decades after the Wordsworths m ove d ou t i n 1808 and, as I discovered, he’s still very much a presence there.

As soon as I entered the place, the bright day disappeared, and I was feeling what the Opium Eater defined as “a sympathy with the invisible” in his attempt to deconstruct superstition. Instead of rooms crowded with jostling, chattering tourists, I seemed to have the whole phantasmal dwelling to myself. The other human forms moving in and out of the rooms might have been living in another dimension. Although what was going on could have been shaped by my memory of certain visionary crescendos in DeQuincey’s Confessions, it was more as if I were in possession of something akin to Dorothy’s “perfect elec-

trometer,” drawing in the “subtlest beauties” of distant voices, including William’s and Dorothy’s, talking through the night in dark-paneled rooms. While these things were happening I was sitting in the corner of a window-seat with my back against the dark paneling, my hands in touch with various surfaces and objects. It wasn’t like feeling so much as being felt, so sensitive was I to the speaking, creaking, breathing illusion of the life that filled those rooms 150 years before.

Wordsworth’s Portmanteau Coming back to the real moment, aware of hazy forms and voices beginning to break through the murmuring hush that surrounded me, I blinked my eyes and saw a pretty woman with reddish-gold hair smiling at me as if she had some notion of what I’d been experiencing. Beside me on the window seat was a solid leather object. At first I thought it might belong to a tourist, a piece of luggage. Not so. According to a curator’s posted note, it was “Wordsworth’s portmanteau.” I’d been sitting there, elbow to elbow, as it were, with an object the poet had presumably taken with him on those journeys, perhaps including the one that gave us “Upon Westminster Bridge.” In my left hand was a small scrap of leather, smooth and strange to the touch. I put it in the pocket of my jacket. Maybe this explains the woman’s conspiratorial smile — she’d caught me in the act, pocketing a Wordsworthian relic, as the poet himself admits doing in the “Residence in France” chapter of The Prelude when he gathers up a stone from “the dust of the Bastille” and pockets “the relic, in the guise of an enthuasiast.”

When I walked out the back door of the cottage into the Wordsworths’ hilly garden, there the woman was again, smiling at me, waiting for me, in the bower at the top.

How romantic. We were in a bower. But she seemed nervous now, confused, shyly stammering something about “what h-hhappened back there.” Her manner was infectious. I shyly stammered some banal remark, and that was the end of it. It was a moment out of the great Ode, “Fallings from us, vanishings;/Blank misgivings of a creature/Moving about in worlds not realised” before which “our mortal nature/ Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised.”

That night I read deeper into DeQuincey’s description of Wordsworth’s sister, how her manner, though “warm and ardent,” was subject to “an air of embarrassment, and even of self-conflict” that caused her “to stammer.” few weeks later, the customs inspector at Heathrow asked me to open the decorative snuff box I’d found in a Durham antique store. “What’s that?” he asked, mildly suspicious of the dark scrap of leather inside. I didn’t hesitate. “It’s a piece of Wordsworth’s portmanteau,” I said. He waved me on through without hesitating, as if all he’d seen was just another tourist’s keepsake, as if everyone were leaving England with a little piece of Wordsworth.

Held June 4-25, the exhibition, themed “Photography as Art” and “Photographer as Artist,” features a vast array of images that jurors selected from a pool of 462 framed submissions. In all, 114 photographers entered their work and 78 were chosen for the exhibition.

Saunders was struck by the photos’ elements.

Artsbridge Artists Series Presents Robert Hansen

Artsbridge presents Philadelphia artist Robert Hansen’s Acrylic Abstractions — Capturing Imagination on Paper at Prallsville Mill, 33 Risler Street in Stockton on Thursday, April 20 at 7 p.m.

Hansen will explore why and how he paints, illustrated with numerous images of his abstract paintings. He says, “My art springs from a passion for the color and light that I see in nature and the man-made environment, filtered through my imagination.”

A s a prev iew, Hansen said, “My paintings start with a color pallet. I love opposites — the interaction of hot and cool colors; but I also love contiguous colors on the color wheel as well as the tints and shades of all of these. I like to mix and merge pigments, creating colors new to me and to others. Use of light is important in creating another dimension in the work; if dark conveys mystery and

ambiguity, light passages convey discovery and joy.

The exposed layers of paint often indicate the path my creative process has taken, and there is no reason to cover all the tracks. I rarely plan a composition; rather I let it evolve in a way that pleases my eye or creates an effect I desire. Accident is an important ingredient in my work; authentic painting requires keeping free to let the unexpected happen.

When people ask me what is the meaning of a painting, I tell them it is the pleasure, surprise, excitement, peace, or mystery that I experience and want to share.”

THEATER REVIEW

Friendships Are Strained by the Purchase of an Abstract Work of Art; Pegasus Theatre Project Presents Yasmina Reza’s Comedy in a Gallery

A

rt is a comedy about aesthetic differences, personality clashes, and a need people have for others to see things their way. A long-standing but uneasy friendship between three men is tested when one of the friends pays a lavish amount of money for an all-white painting. Spending decisions by the other characters also are called into question.

Written by Yasmina Reza and translated

by Christopher Hampton, Art is presented by the Pegasus Theatre Project. This emerging troupe is the resident theatre company of the West Windsor Arts Center.

“Committed to examining the full spectrum of situations and emotions humankind experiences, Pegasus stages intimate productions that are compelling and fun,” the company writes in their program notes.

With their production of Art, an engaging comedy performed by a cast with good chemistry between its members, Pegasus succeeds in fulfilling its mission.

The story concerns three friends: Serge, Marc, and Yvan. Serge infuriates Marc by spending 200,000 francs on a “painting” that appears to be nothing more than a white canvas. Marc dryly asserts that the work is a “white painting with white lines.”

Serge returns the barb, labeling Marc as “one of those new-style intellectuals, who are not only enemies of modernism, but seem to take some sort of incomprehensible pride in running it down.”

Yvan is already overwhelmed by conflict surrounding his wedding plans: “Major crisis: both stepmothers want their names on the wedding invitation,” he announces.

Desperate to minimize contention in his friendship with Serge and Marc, he takes the point of view of whichever man he happens to be visiting. Later, they accuse him of being “an amoeba.”

Reza’s script is a mixture of short dialogue scenes interspersed with monologues in which each character confides in the audience. The earlier scenes are conversations between two of the men, while most of the later scenes involve all three characters.

Because the central conflict stems from the fact that these men are too similar in their self-absorption, strong acting is required to distinguish the characters.

Fortunately, this trio is more than equal to the task. To Marc, Peter Bisgaier brings a controlling aggression. As Serge, David Nikolas battles Marc with defensive urbanity. Matthew Cassidy complements the other two; his Yvan is a milquetoast on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

The blocking by director Jennifer Nasta Zefutie is apt. As Serge and Marc have drifted apart, Zefutie frequently places them on opposite ends of the stage. Yvan, who nervously tries to hold the friendship together, often is in between them. When Yvan delivers a neurotic monologue about the tension surrounding his wedding plans, he is in front of the canvas, temporarily becoming as much of a curiosity as the “painting.”

Judi Parrish’s set is visually sparse, which fits Serge’s taste in art. The costumes are color-coordinated to match the set and paintings. Serge wears white and grey, in keeping with the décor of the characters’ apartments. Yvan and Marc wear, respectively, blue and dark beige — colors which match the only other painting that appears onstage. As the audience will discover, the color blue is important for another reason.

David Sarid has composed incidental music whose fitful starts and stops capture the nervous energy of the three characters.

The musical vocabulary consists mostly of a pointillistic staccato that somewhat evokes Stephen Sondheim’s score for Sunday in the Park with George.

The performance does not take place in an auditorium. Instead, chairs have been set up in the Arts Center’s gallery.

Of course, a play about art is well-served by this venue; arguably, the performance space doubles as the setting. (In April of 2018, Pegasus will present Stephen Sachs’ Bakersfield Mist, another comedy that explores how the acquisition of a painting affects the protagonist’s life.)

The works on display (and for sale) in the gallery are worth viewing before and after the performance. These include Helene Plank’s Variegated Dahlia, with hand-sewn buttons and beads on canvas; William K. Powers’ Thunder Horse, crafted from such items as a feather and a wooden branch; and Lori Langsner’s landscape Morning on the Lake, oil on canvas.

Art originally premiered at the Comédie des Champs-Élysées in 1994. The Broadway production of Hampton’s translation opened in 1998 and ran for a year and a half, winning the Tony for Best Play. Other accolades include the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play.

Yasmina Reza’s other plays include God of Carnage, The Passage of Winter, and How You Talk the Game. Christopher Hampton’s credits include the play Total Eclipse; the screenplay for Dangerous Liaisons; and, with Don Black, the libretto for the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Boulevard.

This production is the second offering of the Pegasus Theatre Project, which was founded in 2015 by Peter Bisgaier, Judi Parrish, and Jennifer Nasta Zefutie. The company launched in 2016, with Proof; in September they will follow Art with Neil Simon’s Chapter Two. he mood of Art is contentious; ART: Performances are underway for the Pegasus Theatre Project’s production of Yasmina when the characters are not bickReza’s “Art.” Translated by Christopher Hampton and directed by Jennifer Nasta Zefutie, the ering, they express their irritation play runs through April 9 at the West Windsor Arts Center.

New Ballet “Pride and Prejudice” Is Focused on Relationships Over lunch with a friend, American Repertory Ballet artistic director Douglas Martin was brainstorming about possible full-length ballets to choreograph for the company. His friend made an unusual suggestion: Jane Austen’s 1813 novel of manners, Pride and Prejudice.

“I wasn’t sure,” Mr. Martin recalled last week. “There are lots of great stories out there, but turning them into ballets isn’t always easy. She had some music from the movie and some past television productions, which she gave me. It wasn’t music that I would use, but it made me start thinking about how I would tell the story.”

Five years later, Pride and Prejudice is a new ballet to be presented April 21 and 22 at McCarter Theatre. Mr. Martin’s choreography is accompanied by the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, which happens to mark the first time the orchestra has performed in that venue. John Devlin will conduct.

The music Mr. Martin ended up selecting is by the composer Ignaz Playel, who was one of Ms. Austen’s favorites. “I researched her and started to discover some of the music she collected and what she liked,” Mr. Martin said. “When I first listened to Playel’s music, it instantly

made me feel like she must have been listening to it when she wrote the book. So that made me happy. I was able to find music that was recorded, but had not been published in 200 years. So it was a challenge to find it, but we managed.”

The ballet also includes m u s i c by Me n d el s s oh n, Schubert, and John Fields, “the father of the nocturne,” Mr. Martin said. “Mark Uys, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra executive director, helped me find the last piece of music by Mendelssohn, published after his death.

That, along with work my team had done to get the music together, made it possible to create an original score. Once I got that, I felt very confident that the choreography would happen easily.”

Mr. Martin’s choreography incorporates period dancing such as reels and minuets as well as classical ballet steps.

At a recent open rehearsal in the company’s studios on Harrison Street, each of the dancers playing lead characters was asked to speak to onlookers about their interpretations. From their descriptions, it was clear that they have spent a lot of time and effort getting inside the heads of Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, Jane Bennet, Mr. Collins, and

other players in the timeless novel.

“I think this process has been a revelation to them,” Mr. Martin said. “It’s a great challenge for the dancers not to rely on their physicality, but on the personalities of the characters. And they are doing a heroic job.”

Mr. Mar t in’s approach was to figure out the relationships between the characters. “It became evident that there would be four major couples — not just Darcy and Elizabeth,” he said. “Then it became simple to think about, because you have the relationship of Elizabeth and Darcy to the other couples. The way it’s been done in Hollywood and on TV has been to focus on the main couple’s relationship. But the book focuses on the other couples, too.”

An Austen fan, Mr. Martin is familiar with all of the author’s novels. “They are my favorite stories,” he said. “Just the language, the dialogue — especially for the main characters — is so lovely, and 200 years later it is still very pertinent.

It doesn’t seem to lack any currency.”

More then any other ballet he has choreographed since retiring from performing in 2002, Pride and Prejudice has given Mr. Martin new insights into his craft. “Dance

is just a language, right? We use movement to express all the emotions any writer would communicate,” he said. “What was unusual here was the fact that I wanted to honor social mores in the wonderful Regency period in this ballet. So I wasn’t doing a contemporary version where anything goes. I realized I could still keep that language and those mores intact, even though I’d have to have more physical contact than in a play or film.

Because I’m explaining the emotion. The choreography just expresses the emotions those characters are going through.”

Sets and costumes for Pride and Prejudice, another key component of the production, are by Christina Giannini. The costumes are meant to showcase the fashions of the English Regency period from 1790 to 1820.

Performances are Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20$50. Visit www.mccarter. org for information.

“It’s very exciting. We’re planning on locations to perform this again for coming seasons,” said Mr. Martin. “But this is the finale for our current season, and we’re so happy to be having a premiere.”

Considered to be the quintessential Czech opera, The Bartered Bride is the tale of a bride who thinks she’s betrayed by her true love in a business transaction involving a family secret.

Set against a background of colorful Czech folk music and dancing, this production is distinguished by costumes designed and created for it by costume designer Jasmina Pacek. The design combines elements of Czech traditional clothing, based on the historical and geographical context of The Bartered Bride, and the contemporary subculture of steampunk, a subgenre of science fiction with elements of alternative history, as envisioned by Ivan Fuller, the production’s director.

Pacek addressed this challenge by using the traditional Czech color pallet (black, white, beige, red, and yellow) and the steampunk concepts of asymmetry and self-standing objects in costumes that she hand-crocheted. The results are contemporary looking self-standing costume elements, such as head coverings, necklaces, and bracelets. Before traveling to the United States for this production, the costumes were the focus of an exhibit “Costume as Sculpture” at the Museum of Fine Arts in Osijek, Croatia.

Westminster Choir College faculty member Williams Hobbs works at many of the world’s major opera houses as conductor and coach. Director Ivan Fuller is Rider University’s Westminster College of the Arts professor of theatre, chair of the theatre and dance department and interim chair of the fine arts department and associate dean of the school of fine and performing arts.

(Daniel Bruhl), the Third Reich’s chief zoologist.

Despite being married, Heck was attracted to Antonina, and he shamelessly forced himself on her as they were attending to the animals in the zoo.

Knowing that resistance was futile and might cost his wife her life, Jan told her to submit to the unwelcome advances. Understandably, he felt utterly emasculated because he was unable to prevent Antonina from being ravished by Heck.

However, the Zabinskis did find a way to work against the Nazis through the Polish resistance movement. Joining the underground, they secretly helped smuggle Jews destined for the concentration camps out of the Warsaw ghetto. They also hid the escapees on the grounds of the zoo even though death was the punishment for assisting a Jew. The Zookeeper’s Wife is a fact-based dramatic documentar y adapted from Diane Ackerman’s bestseller of the same name. Ackerman’s book is based on an unpublished memoir written by Antonina Zabinski.

Directed by Niki Caro ( Whale Rider ), the pic t u re s t ar s Je s s ic a Chas tain as t he t it le character. The two-time Academy Award-nominee (The Help and Zero Dark Thirty) delivers an excellent performance.

Nonetheless, they managed to find a way to use their positions —Kam Williams as zookeepers of the Warsaw Zoo to save hundreds of Jews from extermination by the Nazis.

n 1928, Dr. Jan Zabinski (Johan Heldenbergh) became the director of the Warsaw Zoo. For the next ten years, he ran it with the help of his wife Antonina (Jessica Chastain). With their help, the zoo flourished until the outbreak of the Second World War in September of 1939 after Hitler invaded Poland.

The zoo was closed to the public after being repeatedly bombed by the Luftwaffe during the siege of the city. However, the Zabinskis continued to live on the grounds with their young son (Timothy Radford) and tended to the animals that managed to survive the bombings.

After Warsaw was occupied by the Nazis, the couple was ordered to report directly to Lutz Heck

Chennai Chimney at 19 Chambers Street Offers Authentic Southern Indian Cuisine

O

ne of the most popular Indian restaurants in t he area opened in Princeton last August. Chennai Chimney at 19 Chambers Street has attracted a big following that continues to grow as more customers discover the distinctive flavors of its Southern Indian cuisine.

IT’S NEW To Us

“We thought Princeton was a good location for our restaurant, which focuses on authentic southern Indian cuisine,” explains co-owner and chef John Rajoo. “There was really nothing like our restaurant here. There are lots of international people in the area who will enjoy our cuisine, and also many

Princeton people have traveled, including to India, and they know Indian food.”

A native of southern India, Mr. Rajoo came to the United States 18 years ago as a student. “I received a master’s degree in hotel management from the University of Maryland, and then worked as a sous chef at the Holiday Inn in Somerset. I was involved in preparing all kinds of food there.

“My passion was always to be a chef,” he continues. “Even as a young boy, I watched my mother cook, and she was a very good cook.”

Heart of Princeton It had been his goal to have his own restaurant, and six years ago, he met Gipson George, who also wanted to open a restaurant. They hoped to find a spot in the heart of Princeton, and the Chambers Street location,

formerly the site of Masala Grill, was available.

“We looked at different locations, and this was just what we wanted,” says Mr. George, who has a master’s degree in business administration as well as a background in mechanical engineering.

Authenticity in every way was a priority for the two owners. The first order of business was to renovate the space to reflect a genuine Indian atmosphere.

“We wanted an Indian feel to the decor, and the name Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu, the southern state in India,” explains Mr. Rajoo. “We have photos of India on the walls, and our clay serving dishes are from India. We even have coasters of different places in India representing different time periods.

“Gipson traveled to India

to bring back special items, and in addition, most of our staff is Indian. They know about the culture and the food, and they are highly qualified.

“Also, Gipson, who as host, spends time with the customers, enjoys sharing the history of the food and the culture. He has great rapport with the customers and is always ready to answer their questions and interact with them.”

Healthy Eating “I really like meeting the people and sharing our restaurant with them,” says Mr. George. “For some customers, Indian food may be new to them, and I like to tell them about its history and our authentic food. Of course, many of our customers are very familiar with Indian food and really appreciate the authenticity of our cuisine.”

Many people today are concerned with healthy eating, and Mr. Rajoo reports that this is an important aspect of Indian food.

“The benefit of Indian food is that it is really healthy.

We make it fresh every day, and there is nothing frozen.

95 percent of our food is prepared without butter or cream, and all the spices are freshly roasted. There are many medical benefits too. For example, ginger and curry can help stomach problems and reduce inflammation.”

In addition, he points out that the food is served on large banana leaves — the traditional Indian way. “The banana leaf has natural antioxidants, and it also lends subtle flavor to the food.”

The owners report that everything on the menu, which emphasizes “Indian Food With A Distinctive Story,” is popular. Taste, texture, and presentation are very important.

Chicken, lamb, and seafood are available in many choices and styles, and vegetarian and vegan dishes are also offered. Customers’ special dietary needs can be accommodated, add the owners.

Special Recipe The variet y of options includes soup, salad, appetizers, and entrees available for lunch, dinner, and takeout.

DELICIOUS AUTHENTICITY: “We are set apart by the authenticity of our food including our own recipes. We make everything from scratch, including desserts.” John Rajoo (right) and Gipson George are the owners of the new Chennai Chimney Indian restaurant, located at 19 Chambers Street.

The Marina, which is a Chennai beach-style salad and a favorite with customers, offers chickpeas, mango, coconut, carrot, and scallions with mild spices.

Appetizers include Kaalan Manchurian with the restaurant’s special recipe of mushrooms in a dry Manchurian sauce; also, Kozhi 65, with cubes of deep-fried chicken marinated in yogurt and spices. Another favorite appetizer is the tandoorgrilled Jeenga e Aatish with fresh jumbo prawns, marinated in citrus juice, ajwain, and green cardamom.

Also, Karivepillai Kadamba Varuval, pan-tossed spicy calamari rings, flavored with curry leaves; and Madurai Chukka Kari, boneless lamb dry-cooked in traditional masala Madurari style.

Popular main courses include Milagu Kozhi Chettinad, with pieces of bone-in chicken cooked in authentic Chettinad pepper gravy; Nanjilnadu Kozhi Curr y, featuring bone-in chicken curry with fresh coriander, shallots, curry leaves, pepper, and yogurt.

Also, Nilgiri Lamb Kurma with cubes of lamb, slowly simmered in coconut, fresh herbs and spices; and Aattiraichi Varutha Araicha Curry, the traditional lamb curry from the town of Virudhunagar in south India, cooked in roasted spices.

Seafood specialties include Nadan Fish Curry, featuring the catch of the day cooked in a tangy tamarind sauce; and Yeral Manga Kuzhambu, a tangy prawn curry cooked

with raw mango and coconut.

Vegetarian and Vegan Mahi Tandoor is a Tikka of fish in a marinade of dill, fennel, ginger, honey, and a trace of mustard oil, grilled in the Tandoor oven.

Popular vegetarian and vegan dishes include Kaalan Pattani Milagu Curry with button mushrooms and green peas in a spicy black pepper sauce; and Ennai Kathirikai with baby eggplant, roasted spices, tomato, onion, and coconut paste.

All entrees are served with basmati rice.

Chennai Chimney also offers a variety of traditonal Indian breads, including assorted naan, and featuring the special Kashmiri naan, filled with coconut, nuts, dry fruits, and sugar.

A ssor ted desser ts and beverages are also popular, with the latter including the favorite Masala Chai.

Prices start at $5.95 for soups, salads, and appetizers, and from $11.95 for entrees.

Mr. Rajoo and Mr. George are very enthusiastic about the restaurant’s growing popularity. Customers include all ages, families and singles, Princeton University faculty and students, and others from around the area. There are many regulars and repeat diners, report the owners.

International Group “We have a very international group of customers coming in, including Americ a ns, I nd ia ns, Ch i ne s e, Egyptians, and others. This makes for a very interesting group! There has also been great word-of-mouth, and a lot of people have been finding us online,” said Mr. Rajoo and Mr. George.

Customers appreciate the authenticity of the dining experience, the handsome decor, and the spacious setting, which can seat 70 diners, they add.

“People have a real dining experience here, and we look forward to introducing them to our authentic southern Indian cuisine. We want to become a real part of the community and support the town. We are very happy here, and happy to offer this special dining opportunity for everyone.”

Chennai Chimney is open for lunch Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and for dinner 5 to 10 p.m. Reservations are recommended for a party of four or more. (609) 6080104. Website: www.chennaichimney.com.

Hompe Making the Most of Senior Campaign, Setting Records as PU Women’s Lax Moves to 8-1

O

livia Hompe brought a special sense of urgency to the field as the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team hosted Syracuse last Wednesday evening.

“I was saying before the game that we only have so many more teams under the lights at Class of 1952 and and I was just trying to come and make the most of it,” said senior star Hompe.

Hompe lived up to those sentiments, tallying nine points on seven goals and two assists as Princeton defeated Syracuse 16-11. The seven goals and nine points were single-game career bests for Hompe, who became the first Tiger to tally nine points in a game since 2013, and just the eighth player to do so.

“Colby Chanenchuk, with the feeds, was unbelievable,” said Hompe of the junior attacker who had four assists on the game with three of them setting up goals by Hompe.

“She was really seeing me today and really seeing the ball early. It was more about doing what was in our control and taking the shots that we knew we were going to score. I think what was different, that some shots we are getting were really open shots because we were moving the ball so well, getting their defense to bite.”

Fighting for the ball all over the field helped Princeton jump out to a 9-2 lead over the Orange.

“We got a couple of early goals and that really started with competing on the draw; they have a really strong kid on the draw and we really hunted those balls,” said Hompe.

“That gave us a lot of mojo going in on the attack, coming up with some early goals.

It really gave us some energy across the field and also just getting in some good early defensive sets. Ellie (DeGarmo) had a great game in goal (a career-high 18 saves). I think she is the anchor of that, coming up with those saves really gives our defense a lot of energy.”

On Sunday, Hompe had five goals and three assists to help the Tigers rout Delaware 16-4. Hompe’s eightpoint game moved her from fourth on the Princeton all-time scoring list to second, as she surpassed Lisa Rebane ’96, Lindsey Biles ’05 and Erin McMunn ’15 and now has 225 points (Crista Samaras ’99 is first in program history with 270 points).

Hompe, who was later named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week for her scoring outburst, is less concerned about personal milestones than enjoying the ride with her classmates.

“I think our class has been through a formative period for the team,” said Hompe, a 5’9 native of New Canaan, Conn. who has 50 points this season on 36 goals and 14 assists, and has amassed 159 goals and 66 assists in her brilliant career.

“It is more about securing our legacy as a class and really finishing the season strong. Our class, head to to toe, is just incredible. It is definitely about leaving a mark on the program. We are all so invested in this program and we want to finish it in the best way possible.”

Hompe is looking to make her mark on the international lacrosse scene this summer as she recently made the English national team for the upcoming 2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup. “My mom is a British citizen and my two older sisters were born in London,” said Hompe.

“We are all British citizens so I have a passport. I went over in September for an initial tryout before I came to school. During one of our breaks I went for a big training camp. They have just made the final 18 for the World Cup.” The competition is slated to take place from July 12-22 at the Surrey Sports

S ports

Park in Guildford, Surrey, in southeast England.

“I will probably go over there in June to start training with the team,” said Hompe.

“The World Cup is definitely going to be an incredible experience and I am really honored to have been chosen for the English national team. I think we have a really great team and could do some damage.”

In the meantime, Hompe is focused on helping seventhranked Princeton, now 8-1 overall, do some damage over the rest of the spring.

“For us, it is just about getting better every single game,” said Hompe of the Tigers, who resume Ivy League play by hosting Harvard on April 8.

“We certainly have a lot of aspirations. It is using every opportunity to get better and prepare because especially coming off last year as great of a season as you can have, when it comes down to it you have to be ready to perform in your moment in those final games.”

Powered by Career Day From Senior Star Hernandez, Tiger Baseball Opens Ivy Play With Sweep of Brown

Last spring, the Princeton University baseball team displayed a flair for drama as it won the Ivy League title.

Princeton produced a number of late comebacks on the way to the title, most notably a two-run rally in the ninth inning of the third and decisive game of the Ivy League Championship Series as the Tigers edged Yale 2-1 for the crown.

Picking up where it left off, Princeton showed some of that late inning magic as it opened its 2017 Ivy League campaign by hosting Brown for a doubleheader last Sunday.

Down 2-1 heading into its final at-bat in the seventh inning of the opener, Princeton scored to make it 2-2 and then won the game 3-2 in the eighth.

Princeton senior outfielder Nick Hernandez, who went 2-for-4 with a run in the win, sees resilience as a key quality again for the Tigers.

“I think we have emphasized never giving up throughout the fall and in the beginning of the spring,” said Hernandez, who

delivered a key single in the eighth inning rally.

“We have had some losses at the beginning of the season and we have learned from them to battle back, even when the game might be out of reach.”

Hernandez provided drama in the second game against Brown, slugging a 2-run homer in the first inning to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead and then belting a three-run shot in the eighth to give Princeton insurance runs in an 11-5 triumph.

“I think some of the pressure had come off from the first win all around for the team in general and we just came out a little bit more aggressive,” said Hernandez, reflecting on Princeton’s offensive outburst in the nightcap.

“That is a really good team over there, they are much improved from last year. They can swing it a little bit so we knew that we needed some runs.

Luckily we came through.”

After Brown plated some runs to narrow the Princeton lead to 7-5, Hernandez came

COMING THROUGH: Princeton University baseball player Nick Hernandez follows through on a swing as the Tigers hosted Brown in a doubleheader last Sunday to start their Ivy League campaign. Senior outfielder Hernandez starred as Princeton swept the Bears 4-3 and 11-5. He went 2-for-4 with a run in the opener and then exploded for a 3-for-4 effort in the nightcap with five RBIs, slamming a two-run homer and a three-run homer. A day later, the Tigers were on the short end of a sweep as they fell 8-0 and 3-1 to Yale. Princeton, now 6-16 overall and 2-2 Ivy, plays at Monmouth on April 5 and then resumes Ivy play with doubleheaders at Dartmouth on April 8 and at Harvard on April 9.

through with his second homer of the contest.

“I was just trying to jump on it, not waste any pitches and hit a fly ball to the outfield to try to get that run home,” said a smiling Hernandez, a 6’2, 205-pound native of Miami, Fla. “Luckily it went a little further than I thought.”

Coming off a solid junior campaign which saw him hit .288 with two homers and 12 RBIs, Hernandez has raised the level of his game this spring, rising his average to .308 with two homers and 12 RBIs. “Experience is the biggest thing, learning to be a hitter and understanding my swing,” said Hernandez in assessing his progress.

“It is also credit to the coaches and the other guys on this team, it is not all about one person. Luckily I have been put in some situations where I have been expected to produce and I have been able to come through.”

The Tigers are hoping they can come through with a second straight Ivy title.

“We have worked twice as hard from the beginning of the year this year, knowing that we have had a target on our backs since day one,” said Hernandez, who struggled along with the rest of his teammates on Monday as Yale swept a twinbill from Princeton, winning 8-0 and 3-1, as the Tigers moved to 6-16 overall and 2-2 Ivy. “Everybody in that dugout believes that we can win it again. I think we have the potential, we have the talent, we have a lot of young guys that can contribute.

I am excited about us, I think we have a real shot again.”

Hernandez, for his part, is excited to wrap up his college career in style.

“You take a look at yourself in the fall and you realize the number of baseball games I have left in my life are limited,” said Hernandez.

“I am really trying to make an effort to make the most of it and enjoy every day out here. It has been a blessing to be a Princeton baseball player.

I intend to make the most out of the last 20 games that we have.”

Opening Its Ivy League Campaign With a Bang, PU Softball Sweeps Twinbills From Brown, Yale Hosting Brown in the opening doubleheader of its Ivy League campaign, the Princeton University softball team didn’t waste any time showing it means business in the pursuit of a second straight league crown.

In game one against the Bears last Saturday, the Tigers scored three runs in the first inning and added another in the second to take a 4-0 lead on the way to a 4-3 victory.

“The top of our lineup has done a really good job all year,” said Van Ackeren.

“We have scored much more this year in the first innings than we have ever. It is a good tone setter. They understand what their training up until this point is for. Especially when we open at home, it is always a really special weekend for them and they were fired up.”

The Tigers went on to enjoy a big weekend, cruising to a 10-0 win over Brown in five innings in the nightcap and then sweeping Yale a day later, topping the Bulldogs 9-1 in five innings and 2-0.

The freshman tandem of Megan Donahey (.400 batting average with a team-high 28 hits) in the leadoff spot and Allison Harvey (.359 with two homers and 15 RBIs) hitting third has helped jump start the Princeton batting attack.

“Their composure is way beyond their years; they will make adjustments, both within at bats and at-bat to at-bat,” said Van Ackeren.

“It is really difficult to get them out three times in a game. They make it tough, they put a lot of pressure on defense in different ways.”

Sophomore Kaylee Grant’s mental toughness and production has been big assets for the Tigers.

“Kaylee’s mindset is really what makes her; she stepped up freshman year with a wisebeyond-her-years approach and has built on that,” said Van Ackeren of Grant, who is batting .352 with one homer and 15 RBIs. “She has suffered through

a couple of injuries in her career. She is just mentally very tough. She refuses to get down for long periods of time. She understands what is going make her successful and she buys in. She has done a really good job.”

The emergence of senior Marissa Reynolds (.489, four homers, 13 RBIs) into a slugger this spring has been a big factor in Princeton’s success.

“Marissa is a really special kid; she has always had the ability,” said Van Ackeren.

“She is just obsessed with the process and with doing the little things right and maximizing her practices every day.

She treats her practices the same as she treats game day, there is not a difference in the attention to detail that she gives everything. As a senior captain that is who you want doing well in this moment. She does such a good job in every aspect and leads incredibly well for the rest of the team.

We are lucky to have her.”

Van Ackeren knows she is lucky to have a pair of senior mound aces in Erica Nori (5-1 record, 2.70 ERA, and a nohitter) and Claire Klausner (53, 4.28 ERA).

“Erica and Claire have just grown every year at Princeton this year, especially coming back and coming into their senior year,” said Van Ackeren, who got a two hitter from Klausner in the win over Yale in the opener with Nori hurling a two-hitter in the nightcap.

“They have a renewed purpose, a great attitude, and a great approach. They have put in a ton of work this year. The results are because of their training and because they are really committed to doing whatever it takes for the team. Their team needed two pitchers that can go seven innings for the Ivy season and they understand that and that is what they are willing to sell out to.”

Getting the Ivy season off to a 4-0 start was a great result for the Tigers.

“They were pumped to sweep; we haven’t done that against Yale and Brown in the careers of the girls on the team,” said Van Ackeren.

“They haven’t been able to do that so that is a big step in their minds, small goals toward a much larger one.”

Princeton will be looking to take more steps forward this weekend as it heads to New England for doubleheaders at Harvard on April 7 and at Dartmouth on April 8.

“The Harvard/Dartmouth weekend is big; it is always circled on our calendar,” said Van Ackeren, noting that the Harvard twinbill will be televised on ESPN3.

“We are returning to the site of our championship series when we play at Harvard so our upperclassmen can’t wait to go. They are pumped to make some noise against Dartmouth; the girls on the team haven’t done that yet.”

OPENING STATEMENT: Princeton University softball player Marissa Reynolds takes a big cut in action last weekend. Senior star Reynolds helped the Tigers start their Ivy League campaign with a bang, as Princeton swept a doubleheader from Brown on Saturday, winning 4-3 and 10-0, and then took two from Yale a day later, prevailing 9-1 and 2-0. The Tigers, now 11-11 overall and 4-0 Ivy, have doubleheaders at Harvard on April 7 and at Dartmouth on April 8.

Over his career, Zach Currier has prided himself on doing whatever Princeton University men’s lacrosse team has needed him to do in order to have the best chance of winning.

“I would say my role is to play where I have to,” said senior star midfielder Currier, a 6’0, 180-pound native of Peterborough, Ontario.

“Some years that has been me talking all of the faceoffs and not playing any offense or any defense and some years it has been me playing the offense.”

In his final college campaign, Currier is playing all over the field for the Tigers.

“This year, it is a little bit of everything,” said Currier.

“It also goes with the amount of conditioning and preparation that we have done as a team this year. The effort that we put in at practice allows me to stay ready to go and not be tired.”

Last Saturday in a 21-11 win over visiting Brown, Currier displayed that versatility, producing a stat line that included one goal, five assists, and scooping up 11 ground balls. Along the way, Currier tallied the 100th point of his career on his fourth assist of the game.

“I am pretty excited about it; it is just a number but to have that under my belt and be one of 33 Princeton players to do it is great,” said Currier, who now has 45 goals and 56 assists on his career.

“There have been a lot of amazing players out here; I am very honored to be a part of it.”

The 15th-ranked Tigers produced some amazing play on the defensive end Saturday as they contained a high-powered Brown attack that came into the day averaging 15.4 goals a contest.

“We knew this one was going to be a battle, they have some pretty strong offensive players like Dylan Molloy,” said Currier.

“The defense really executed. Bear Goldstein was sliding to them and they stayed on the double teams.”

Princeton executed with precision offensively, scoring seven goals in the the second quarter to take control of the contest in improving to 6-3 overall and 2-1

Ivy League.

“On the offensive end, it is nice to have Michael Sowers and Gavin McBride up there,” said Currier, who has benefitted from that partnership as he has 35 points this season on 14 goals and 21 assists.

“We have had really good dodgers in my time here but we have never had as pure a dodger as Sowers. He and Gavin work together in practice all the time so they have an unparalleled chemistry.”

Currier is determined to make the most of his remaining time with the Tigers.

“It just gives us more motivation to give it everything we got every day and fight,” said Currier.

“Whether it is seeing a ground ball, or dodging and trying to beat my guy. It just gives me the extra motivation to get the ball where it needs to go and get our team a win.”

Princeton head coach Matt Madalon credits Cur r ier with having done whatever it takes to help Princeton succeed.

“If Zach just played offense for us, he would have gotten to a hundred points two years ago,” said Madalon.

“The fact that he is at 100 points means that he gets to be in the right honor of the Princeton lacrosse program.

He is going to try to get 100 more. His grit and his energy is outstanding, that is why he is an impressive kid. You look at his legs and shins all beat up. He does an outstanding job setting the tone, energy and effortwise.”

The Tiger defense set the tone early as a slide by senior star and co -captain Goldstein stymied Brown star Molloy, causing a turnover and putting the Bears on their heels.

“Containing Molloy is a rare thing; he is so dangerous so there is just a sense of awareness there,” said Madalon, reflecting on a day which saw Molloy held to a goal and two assists.

“We did a good job all week training; our scout guys did an awesome job.

There were a couple of really timely plays that really set the tone like that first slide by Bear. Danny Winschuh did a good job. We had a kid, Matt Brophy,

prepare him all week. That is what a full team is; we are thrilled.”

At t h e of fe n s ive e n d, Princeton focused on putting Brown freshman goalie Phil Goss under fire.

“I think 38 shots on cage, any time you are going to make a young goalie defend 38 shots on cage, that was a goal coming in. We knew they could be a little up and down. We did a good job.”

A lot of those Princeton shots found the back of the net as freshman phenom Michael Sowers tallied five goals and four assists with senior star and co-captain Gav in McBr ide chipping in five goals, sophomore Charlie Durban adding three goals, and junior Riley Thompson chipping in two goals and three assists.

“I think it was just a matter of continuing to execute and staying the course,” said Madalon.

“We talked all week about staying the course for 60 minutes and let the systems take of themselves. The guys did a heck of a job.”

Currier, for his part, likes the way the Tigers are staying in the present, game to game.

“The biggest thing for us is the ability to say last week was last week, this week is this week, it doesn’t matter if we won by 20 or lost by 20,” said Currier.

“We are going to come out and play the way we need to play. We do have three losses in there; I would like to have all three of those back but there is nothing we can do about it now. All we can do is focus on the next game.”

PHS Boys’ Lax Edged by Scotch Plains-Fanwood, But Shows Fire That Bodes Well for Rest of Spring A year ago, the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team pulled out a dramatic 10-9 win over Scotch Plains-Fanwood in the North Group 3 state tournament quarterfinals.

Last Saturday, the foes met in a regular season clash and the result was another thriller.

Although PHS came out on the short end this time in a 6-5 defeat as it dropped to 2-1, Little Tiger head coach Chip Casto saw a slew of positives coming out of the contest.

“We got better today, they got better today; we want to win but we want to get better,” said Casto.

“It is all good, it is positive. If you can have a good loss, this is it. We learned, we were in a tight game, we competed well; you can’t ask for more.”

PHS displayed its competitive fire, rallying from a 5-2 third quarter deficit to pull even at 5-5 with 6:32 left in regulation.

“These guys have decided to come up with some terms about toughness and scrappiness,” said Casto.

“We yell those out and they start manifesting that attitude and it showed as we came back.”

At the defensive end, the Little Tigers played with some attitude.

“We weren’t sliding too early,” said Casto. “When we don’t slide, they have to work harder. We have two rock solid goalies (Godefroy and Peck), one is a righty, one is a lefty.”

In Casto’s view, the team’s senior class is setting the tone in terms of work ethic.

“It is a senior laden team; we have a great group,” said Casto, whose corps of seniors includes Tooker Callaway, Mark Duarte, Luke Duarte, Leo Godefroy, Sawyer Peck, Johnny Lopez-Ona, Eamonn McDonald, Justin Marciano, Owen Smith, Andrew Pletcher, Jake White, and Wyatt Zetterberg.

“They are a core of the team this year; they are very excited to be with each other.”

Senior attackmen McDonald and White helped key the PHS offense as McDonald tallied three goals and White added one.

“Eamonn is a finisher, you saw that today,” said Casto.

“Jake is sturdy; he is in the right spot, he catches it and he shoots it. Our mantra has always been basic and simple and Jake is the epitome of that, he just does the job he is told.”

The Lit tle Tigers have some new faces in the lineup who have been doing a good job in the early going.

“We have three younger guys get ting substantial time, Alex Park, Evan Filion, and Dylan Westervelt, they are figuring it out,” said Casto, who got a goal from

Westervelt in the loss on Saturday.

“Come May, they are going to be more veteran players and we are going to be a tougher team.”

Casto, for his par t, is confident that PHS will get tougher and tougher to beat as the spring unfolds.

“We want to win the division, the conference, the county, and the group and this game helped us take a step towards that,” said Casto, whose team plays at WW/P-S on April 5 before hosting Notre Dame on April 8.

“For 22 years, coach Stanton (former PHS head coach and current assistant Peter Stanton) had teams playing well in May and we were pretty tough last May so we are hoping this carries on.”

Jake Bennett felt some butterflies in his stomach as he made his debut for the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team last Wednesday against a powerhouse Hun School squad.

“It is a big rivalry,” said freshman attackman Bennett. “I was nervous all day but my teammates helped me out.”

In the early going, PDS looked a little nervous as they fell behind 2-0 five minutes into the contest and trailed 5-2 midway through the second quarter.

The Panthers, though, s core d t wo u na ns were d goals to bring some momentum into intermission.

“At halftime we had a really good talk,” said Bennett.

“I know we have had a lot of emotions the last few days.

With PDS finding itself down 8-6 early in the fourth quar ter, Bennett showed how good he can be, scoring two unanswered goals as the Panthers knotted the game at 8-8 and forced overtime.

“I think we just recognized our match ups and my team thought I had the best match ups,” recalled Bennett.

“I was going to the goal and trying to draw a slide and trying to help my team out.”

Bennett ended up scoring the winning tally in second overtime as he got open in the crease and ripped a feed from Peter Shannon into the back of the net.

“We had a dodge down the alley and we drew the rotation so the back side was open and I was in the right place at the right time,” said Bennett, who dove forward on the shot and was mobbed by his teammates after the ball hit the back of the net.

“I knew I was in close and I thought I got a good look.”

PDS head coach R ich D’Andrea wasn’t surprised to see Bennett come up big in crunch time.

“Jake did a great job today, he definitely has his best lacrosse in front of him,” said D’Andrea, noting that

SUDDEN IMPACT: Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse player Jake Bennett controls the ball against Hun last Wednesday in the season opener for both teams. Freshman attackman Bennett made a memorable debut for PDS, scoring four goals, including the game-winning tally, as the Panthers prevailed 9-8 in double overtime. PDS, which improved to 2-0 with a 14-5 win over Pennington last Monday, plays at Lawrenceville School on April 5 before hosting Robbinsville on April 8.

Bennett works with Tri-State all-star club and has played in a number of high exposure camps over the summer.

“He is one of those kids who has worked really hard on the nuances of the game.

It is rare that you get a kid with that size who can dodge.

He just got better and better this fall; he is a guy who you put in that situation and he can come through.”

Senior stalwart Shannon gave the Panthers some good work, scoring their first two goals in addition to assisting on the gamewinner.

“Peter is a guy as a senior who has really stepped up to that,” said D’Andrea.

“We didn’t have a whole lot going offensively for us and we tried to preach keep it simple and doing your job.

Peter decided to dodge at a good time and pressed to the cage and broke the ice for us which was important.

We needed that.”

With his team never leading in regulation, trailing 2-0, 5-2, and 8-6 as the contest went on, D’Andrea credited his players with showing patience and resolve.

“We have to be really methodical as a team,” said D’Andrea. “We had a sense that they were going to go and crank up tempo. I think the majority of their goals were all transition and a couple of extra-man op portunities. Those are the pieces of the game that we need to work on. In terms of riding, we did a better job as the game went on.”

The PDS defense did a great job down the stretch, not allowing a goal after Hun scored to take an 8-6 lead with 10:07 left in the fourth quarter.

“We did a great job in terms of bend, don’t break,” said D’Andrea.

“It is pretty rare that you have that many possessions in overtime, going back and forth like that. The defense came up with a couple of big turnovers. Connor Green really came up with some unbelievable saves in goal.”

In D’Andrea’s view, coming up with such a big win in the opener was a confidence builder for the Panthers.

“We know that Hun is one of the toughest teams on our schedule,” said D’Andrea.

“It has been a one-goal or two-goal game the last five or six years so we anticipated it was going to be a tough game. We were lucky to get the better of them.”

Bennett, for his part, feels lucky to be a part of the PDS squad. “It is huge; it is great playing with these guys even so far and I can’t wait for the rest of the year,” said Bennett.

“I think the most important thing with this team is the chemistry we have built over the last couple of weeks.

Over spring break, we went to Florida and played against Salisbury and Westminster, some of the best teams in the northeast, and that was really a good start for us.”

Brian Dudeck is bringing a family feeling to the Princeton Day School baseball team as he moves into the head coaching role for the program.

Dudeck’s son, Zach, is a senior center fielder for the squad and his nephews, Paul and Luke Franzoni, are veteran PDS stars.

“Most of the kids I have been coaching since they have been little kids, some of them play multiple sports coached by me,” said Dudeck, who also coaches soccer and basketball at PDS and is succeeding Ray O’Brien. “It has been a pretty smooth transition.”

Dudeck is looking to get all of the baseball players at PDS to have a sense of togetherness.

“Part of my thing is to have a whole program, not separate teams,” said Dudeck.

“The JV and varsity are practicing all together. We are tr ying to implement some of the drills and the things we want to do on the varsity level and have that go all the way down to the middle school level. I have tried to have the middle school come out and see some of the practices to be part of the program so it can be more developmental.”

The PDS pitching rotation has the potential to produce some high-level mound performances this spring.

“We have exper ienced pitchers ; we are talking about Chase Fleming, Russ el l K irczow, a nd Rya n Sparks, they are three seniors,” said Dudeck, who is looking to senior Paul Franzoni to handle some closing duties with junior Luke Franzoni, sophomore Matt Nyce, freshman John Carroll, sophomore Kevin Flahive, sophomore Tommy Sarsfield, and sophomore Brendan Buccheri also getting some mound work.

“They are experienced; they looked good in Florida.

I am pretty sure that we are going to get some decent pitching.”

The PDS defense should be solid with experienced players all over the field.

“We have a pretty good idea, with all of our upperclassmen,” said Dudeck.

“It is Paul behind the plate, Luke at short, Ryan Bremer at second, Chase at first, and Zach in center field. Our corner outfield changes, depending on who is pitching.

Ryan Sparks will probably be in right field and Russell Kirczow will be in left field when he is not pitching. If Chase Fleming is pitching, Ryan comes in to play first

®�

base. Brendan Buccher i seems to be the kid who at least initially will start in left field. He will be that third outfielder, depending on the pitching.

As for offense Dudeck is depending on his veterans to come through on a collective basis.

“I try to get the kids more focused on let’s see what we can do to win the game, it is about a team thing,” said Dudeck, whose team edged Conwell-Egan (Pa.) 6-5 last Wednesday in its season opener before falling 5-4 to Pennington a day later.

“Different guys are going to step up. That is baseball.

One day it might be one guy’s turn and the next day,

maybe it is another guy that gets a couple of hits.”

With PDS hosting Blair Academy on April 5, Lawrenceville on April 6, and Shipley School (Pa.) on April 8, Dudeck will be looking for his players to be mindful of game situations when they are hitting.

“We just need to be consistent and have good at-bats,” said Dudeck. “A good at-bat might be different, it could be taking a lot of pitches, it could be getting a walk, or moving a runner over.

Maybe you get a runner on third with less that two outs and you get a fly ball and get an RBI that way. There are all different ways to have quality at bats so I am hoping they think more of situations than getting caught up in their personal stats.”

Bennett Makes Memorable Debut for PDS Boys’ Lax, Tallying 4 Goals as Panthers Edge Hun 9-8 in OT

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, APRIl 5, 2017 • 34

Monfiletto Succeeding Legendary Coach McQuade, Determined to Keep Hun Baseball on Winning Track Tom Monfiletto is filling some big shoes as he takes the helm of the Hun School baseball program.

W hile succeeding legendary Bill McQuade, who coached the team for 46 seasons and guided the Raiders to the state Prep A title last spring in an emotional finale, is a daunting proposition, Monfiletto believes he can maintain the program’s winning tradition.

“Coach McQuade built the foundation that was incredibly successful ; it is not my idea to really change the whole deal,” said Monfiletto, a former Hun baseball and football standout who served as an assistant to McQuade for the last seven seasons.

“It is to keep it going with a little but of a different approach. I think he will be proud of the whole product he sees this year and will be happy for us.”

Monfiletto believes the Hu n player s s hare h is pride in the program. “The one thing that I really like about this team is that the seniors and juniors, for the most part, all spent some time in JV and played together for a while,” said Monfiletto.

“We have guys that have really bought into the program and it really means a lot to them. The hope is that caring for one another translates onto the field and when we get in these tight games, that will carry us over the edge.”

The squad’s mound corps could carry the Raiders a long way, featuring a trio of starting pitchers of senior Mike Pedota, postgraduate and former Princeton High standout Joaquin Hernandez-Burt, and sophomore Jack Erbeck.

“We have Mike Pedota coming back who was 5-1 last year with a 1.00 ERA; he was effective for us,” said Monfilet to, noting that juniors Tom Ramsay and Chris Murdock along with senior Ryan Strype will also get innings.

“We picked up Joaquin Hernandez-Burt, he looks good. He is going to go to Roger Williams and play next year. He is a really good pitcher, he has command of three pitches. He knows what he is doing, he holds runners on, he fields his position and he has emerged as a leader on the team. We have a sophomore transfer from Notre Dame Jack Erbeck, who also threw really really well on our Florida trip. We are happy with our arms.”

On offense, Hun will be looking to play some small ball, having lost big bats Alex Mumme and Jordyn Smith to graduation.

“We are losing a lot of power so we are going to work our butts off to score some runs this year,” said Monfiletto, whose team started the season by losing 1-0 to Lawrenceville on March 30 before beat ing Blair Academy

Princeton’s Best Summer Programs

6-1 last Saturday.

“We practice base running ever y day and we practice the whole idea of manufactur ing r uns.

We have struggled defensively against teams that do that so why not do it ourselves.”

Monfiletto sees junior Chris Pontrella, sopho more McGwire Tuffy, and senior twins, Matt Moore and Ryan Moore, as table setters with Strype, Erbeck, and Hernandez-Burt providing some punch.

Hun mix and match on defens e, depending on who is pitching. “We are going to use a lot of guys, 11 and 12 guys a game,” said Monfiletto. “We have a lot of options.

Across the diamond, the Hun defensive alignment w i l l i n clu d e S t r y p e at catcher, Adam Wijaya and Pontrella at third base, Pedota and Pontrella at shortstop, Tuffy at second, and a combination Cam Cavanaugh, Joaquin, Strype, and Erbeck at first. In the outfield, Matt Moore, Ryan Moore, Erbeck, Chris Sumners, and Adam Zucatti should all see action.

I n M o n f i l e t to’s v i e w, things can come together for Raiders this spring if they battle on a daily basis.

“I think we could be good as long as we don’t allow ourselves to be satisfied too easily,” said Monfiletto, whose team plays at the Hill School (Pa.) on April 5 before hosting Peddie on April 7 and St. Augustine on April 11.

“We have a tough schedule with a lot of games packed in one after another. We don’t have any room to breathe, which is by design for a purpose.

They need to really buy into the idea that every day is a new fight and no matter what you did yesterday, you have to improve the next day and keep it going.”

Hun Boys’ Lax Squanders Lead in Loss to PDS But Sees Plenty of Positives Going Forward Hosting crosstown rival Princeton Day School in its season opener last Wednesday, the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team raced out of the gate on fire.

Hun scored t wo unanswered goals in the first five minutes of the contest and extended its lead to 5-2 midway through the second quarter.

But by halftime, PDS narrowed the gap to 5-4 and Hun head coach M.V. Whitlow knew that his team was in for a battle.

“I liked the way we started but you have got to give PDS, their players, and their coaching staff a lot of credit for sticking to their game plan,” said Whitlow. “They showed a lot of resolve.”

In the second half, Hun sought to maintain an uptempo pace but the game turned into a tense nailbiter.

The teams were tied at 5-5 early in the third quarter and after Hun forged ahead 8-6 in the fourth, PDS scored two straight goals to make it 8-8 and force overtime.

“We wanted to run and they didn’t let us run,” said Whitlow. “From being patient and attacking the goal from certain spots on the field that allowed them to get back on defense a little quicker. Their guys made some big plays.”

Hun tried to make some big plays to break the deadlock in extra time but got thwarted by the Panthers, who prevailed 9-8 in double overtime. “ We were draw ing up mostly clears as far as the overtime; they were switching in and out of some gimmick defenses,” said Whitlow. “ T h e i r g o a l i e C o n n or Green made big saves in both overtimes and we hit a big pipe at the end of regulation.”

Hun got big performances in defeat from junior star Jake Keller (two goals) and senior goalie Gib Versfeld (10 saves).

“Jake is a play maker; he gets up the field,” said

Whitlow. “He plays longstick midfield aggressively the way we encourage him to play. He is a good player.

Gib was voted as a captain.

He is a good goalie. We are happy with him.”

With plenty of lacrosse to be played this spring, Whitlow saw the opening day

loss as nothing more than a bump in the road.

“You have to play and move on,” said Whitlow, whose squad defeated Blair Academy 15-0 last Saturday to move to 1-1 and now hosts Montgomery on April 6 and Bergen Catholic on April 10. “It is just a game and there is a lot to learn from these moments.”

—Bill Alden

LOOKING FORWARD: Hun School boys’ lacrosse player John Salcedo looks for an opening last Wednesday against Princeton Day School. Senior midfielder Salcedo tallied a goal and two assists in the contest but it wasn’t enough as Hun fell 9-8 in overtime to PDS. The Raiders, who defeated Blair Academy 15-0 last Saturday to move to 1-1, host Montgomery on April 6 and Bergen Catholic on April 10.

While the desert may not seem to be a welcoming environment for serious training, the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team thrived on its recent preseason trip to Arizona.

“It was great to go a different way, to go west instead of south,” said Hun head coach Liz Cook, noting that the program has typically gone to Florida for its preseason trip.

“It was all lacrosse, all the time, which was different for us. We were in the middle of the desert. There was not much to do outside of lacrosse so we got to do three-a-days and some early morning sessions which was really fun. It was just tons of team bonding.”

The team’s group of seniors set the tone out west for the Raiders. “My captains (Shannon Dudeck, Delia Lawver, Maddie McNulty) are awesome but there is really no difference between my captains and the rest of the seniors,” asserted Cook.

“The seniors are awesome.

They all have such different qualities and they come to the team in different ways and it is all respected by the team. They have bought into my program and to being leaders, on and off the field.”

That leadership is trickling down throughout the squad.

“I want to build a family and build great people first before lacrosse players, they have bought into that,” said Cook.

“That was a lot of what our trip to Arizona was about; being a positive leader, what mental toughness means, and what character building means.”

Hun boasts great weapons in the midfield in a quartets of seniors, Kate Davis, Dudeck, Lawver, and Julia Salerno.

“Kate said ‘I like to play attack’ and I said ‘Kate you are such an amazing runner, how can I not have you on my midfield,’” said Cook, whose team has started 2-1, defeating Immaculata 24-14 on March 30 and Blair 14-5 on April 1 before falling 12-

READY TO GO: Hun School girls’ lacrosse player Kate Davis is poised for action in a game last spring. Last Monday, senior star Davis had an assist in a losing cause as Hun fell 12-11 to Princeton Day School. The Raiders, now 2-1, host Lawrenceville School on April 5 and Stuart Country Day on April 7.

11 to Princeton Day School last Monday.

“She is going to play a lot of midfield but she is an attacker. She can run the whole field. I have Shannon and Delia in the midfield.

Julie is a defensive-minded player but she can really play that midfield beautifully.”

Junior transfer Hannah Bunce, a former PDS standout, will also give the Raiders a lift in the midfield.

“She is just a force,” said Cook of Bunce, who tallied three goals and two assists on Monday in the loss to her former school. “She can take the draw, she can play the midfield, she can play defense. She has just fit in well.”

On attack, Hun features junior Claudine Chiminski, sophomore Zoe Cook. Junior Piper Schinsky, junior Tarah Sipos, and sophomore Kayla Schaefer.

“Claudine is going to hold our attack down,” said Cook.

“Zoe is an attacker. Piper and Tarah are also vying for those spots. Kayla is a new one coming up and she will vie for that as well. We have four or five attackers.”

The defense will be spearheaded by senior star Olivia McNulty. “Olivia McNulty is a great defender. She is coming back from last year,” said Cook.

“Josie Cook is going to lead us on defense along with Julia Salerno. Kendall Nehlig came up late to the varsity last year. She is so coachable and she is going to be great on my defense as well. Kendall Versfeld came up last year and is showing aggressiveness. We have some true defenders back there.”

Cook is planning to use the tandem of senior Maddie McNulty and junior Lauren Cunniff at goalie.

“Maddie was our goalie last year and we have a new goalie, Lauren, who came from Montgomery and is very, very talented as well,” added Cook. “Both of them are going to be sharing that goalie spot.”

With talent throughout the lineup, Cook believes Hun can be a force if it develops a focus on daily improvement.

“They have all of the potential in the world; I have been telling them they can go as far as they want,” said Cook, whose team hosts Lawrenceville School on April 5 and Stuart Country Day on April 7.

“What we learned in Arizona was to take it one game at a time. Instead of looking at our season, which I have done in the past, and saying what is your goal, where do you want to be, I am not doing that this year.”

Stuart Lax Focusing on Basics, Team Chemistry As Bruvik Moves Into Head Coaching Role Missy Bruvik has enjoyed a legendary tenure as the head coach of the Stuart Country Day School field hockey program, winning a slew of county and prep titles along the way.

This spring, Bruvik is taking the helm of the Stuart lacrosse program and she is looking to instill that positive spirit in her new team.

“For me, it was just an opportunity to coach both fall and spring this year; it is a lot of the same kids,” said Bruvik, who has served as an assistant coach in the Stuart lax program over the years under three head coaches.

“We are trying things we have done in the past and trying to make that connection between our field hockey and lacrosse players.”

Br uv ik ’s presence has helped at tract a strong turnout of 22 players this spring.

“Kids have come back out who haven’t played in a couple of years and players who have never played who are willing to try the sport,” said Bruvik.

The Tartans headed to Florida in March for a preseason trip, trying to get a jump on things by taking part in the Hogan Lax Spring Team Training program.

“It was fabulous, the kids feel like they are three weeks ahead of where they were last year,” said Bruvik.

“They were saying they were there for lacrosse and they took full advantage of it. We had triple sessions every day. We had a lot of help from the Hogan lacrosse ; it was not too big, but perfect sized. The coaches got to know all of our kids’ names.”

While Stuart opened the season with a 12-9 loss to Gill St. Bernard’s last Wednesday, Bruvik believes her squad gained some hard - ear ned k nowledge from the setback.

“They were two pretty even ly matche d te a m s ; we were losing possession through unforced turnovers on our part,” said Bruvik.

“We got down three goals early and we did sneak back to two. It is just learning to take care of the ball, slow it down, and be patient.”

S en ior I z y E ngel and junior Ali Hannah each scored four goals to trigger the Stuart offense in the loss.

“Izy is playing the midfield and Ali is on attack but we are rotating them; they are both going to see some attack and midfield time,” said Bruvik.

“I love the fact that we had five different girls in the box score. Grace Sheppard had a goal. Lauren Magnini and Caitlyn Delaney had assists. We had a lot of great connecting passes. Our goal is for all of our attack players to be aggressive and a threat.”

Senior Alexxa Newman starred in goal, making 10

saves as she returned to the team after not playing in 2016.

“Alexxa gets better every day, she gets more confident.” said Bruvik. “She is getting better angles and her eye-hand coordination is improving. She stands in there, she is fearless.”

Bruvik is seeing improvement across the field. “The defense is being led by Claire Landers, Bey-Shana Clark, and Marissa Lewis,” added Bruvik.

“In our midfield is Tina Lu, she is a senior and she is experienced. We also have Izzy, Delaney, and Gin Gin Plehn in the midfield.”

With Stuart heading into a busy week, Bruvik is looking for her veterans to lead the way.

“T here is g re at te a m chemistry, we have eight s e n i o r s ,” s a i d B r u v i k , whose team plays at Hun on April 7 and at the Solebury School (Pa.) on April 10 before hosting Hamilton on April 11.

“I think it is really putting the little things together, like coming out of the backfield and working on our transition game.

Trust is not an issue, they are trusting each other. It is putting a complete game together. It is about being mentally prepared more than anything right now and continuing to build our skills.”

Michael Mostoller Michael Mostoller was an arch itec t, profe s s or, writer, and artist. Through his work, his teaching, and his private life as a partner, parent, and grandparent, he touched countless lives, always putting the needs of others above his own.

He departed this life in the presence of his family on Sunday, April 2 from sudden complications from pneumonia after a 9-year long battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Born George Michael to George and Violet Mostoller in 1938 in Somerset, Pa., he was a descendant from a line of 18th Century English and German immigrants to western Pennsylvania, many of whom became rooted in the Pennsylvania Dutch traditions.

Michael dedicated his life to quality, character, and economy in architecture of the dwelling and the city.

A leader in urban housing since 1965, with a particular focus on serving lowincome, homeless families, and single individuals, his architectural work in this area included Karin Court, the campgrounds arrangement of housing for the Princeton Housing Authority, Trent House Park, townhouses and apartments in Trenton, the expansion of graduate housing for the Lawrence Apar tments at Princeton University, and a synagogue in a historic neighborhood in Montclair, N.J.

His scholarship and research focused on residential design, affordable housing, and housing the homeless, and his work inf luenced professional design, code refor m, a nd com mu n it y and political awareness. He authored and edited many publications including a history of housing design in the United States. His drawings have been published in Progressive Architecture, Inland Architect, New Jersey Architect, Skyline, Express, and the New York Times. His artwork has been exhibited at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, Cooper Union, Columbia University, and locally at the offices of Hill Wallack and the gallery at Bristol Myers Squibb. In May 1994, he was invested into the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects for his work in education, scholarship, research, and practice.

Actively engaged in local civic issues, Michael was elected to two terms on the Princeton Regional School Board, serving as president his last two years. He was a founding member of Princeton Future where, as co-chair of the design committee, co-led a study of the Witherspoon Street Corridor and the design process to create Hinds Plaza. It was during this civic engagement that he met a new colleague and a future partner, Yina Moore.

To Michael, a life well lived was one of work, action, and good deeds, making a difference in other’s lives. Michael loved his NJIT family of colleagues and students.

He was pre-deceased by his parents and brother, Mark; and leaves to mourn a large loving family including wife, Yina, children George, Margaret, Charles, David, Jesse, and stepdaughter, Gisela, his grandchildren Edward, Jackson, and Franklin; and his extensive relatives from his birthplace, Somerset, Pa.

Peter R. Weale

James Elison James Elison passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, his closest childhood friend, his books, and his beloved piano music on March 21, 2017. He was 73 years old. James was a loving father and grandfather who was very devoted to his children, a gentle giant who had a kind smile and a mischievous glint in his eye for family and friends.

He was a banking executive by profession and spent decades commuting to Manhattan for work, but his true loves were music and history. He was a talented, classically trained pianist who could play a piece by ear after hearing it once and then create his own variations. His home often resonated with Chopin’s Polonaises and Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies, among many others. He was never without a book in hand and was a knowledgeable historian as well as a brilliant tactician who rarely lost a chess match.

Peter R. Weale, 66, of Princeton passed away on March 25, 2017. He was born in Addison, N.Y., the son of Durland and Martha Weale. He received his BS in agricultural life sciences from Cornell University in 1972. Upon graduation, he served in the United States Marine Corps (’72) as 1st Lieutenant and went on to receive his MBA from Cornell University in 1976.

Mr. Weale was a father, educator, entrepreneur who enjoyed challenging t he status quo. In his 33 years residing in the Princeton/ West Windsor area, his commitment to the community resulted in years of

involvement with the school district and community organizations like West Windsor Little League, well after his children were able to reap the benefits of his efforts to improve the community for everyone. An avid collector of antiques, he had an affinity for collecting antique furniture, cars, bars, and pretty much anything that was older than he. Residents of West Windsor and Princeton Junction fondly recall memories of Peter driving his Ford Model T Pickup with a lawn mower as he took the initiative to mow and maintain areas such as the Penns Neck Circle, not only for aesthetics but for the safety of complete strangers.

His humor and wit are survived by his two children; Daughter, Jessica (30) of Miami Beach; and son, Zachary (27) of Hoboken. He also leaves a sister, Alice (68); and his father, Durland (94, Cornell Class of ‘44) of Addison, N.Y. In lieu of funeral services, the family will be holding a celebration of life at the family home in Princeton Junction on Good Friday, April 14, from 4-8 p.m.

Donald Kitchell Conover

Don Conover passed away on Tuesday, March 28th near his home of 30 years in Newtown, Pennsylvania. He was 85 years old. He went peacefully and in gratitude for a full life, knowing he was loved deeply by friends and family alike, and in the arms of Patti Kohlmayer Conover, his wife and true love.

Born on July 25th, 1931, in Brooklyn, N.Y., Don was the son of Earl, head of the math department at Poly Preparatory Academy, and Hazel, a homemaker who had once worked in the secretarial pool for Thomas

Edison. He is pre-deceased by his older sister, Patricia Lott, and survived by his younger sister, Sally Andersen. He is also survived by his two sons, Malcolm and Paul, and Paul’s two children, Catherine and Matthew.

Most who knew him would describe Don as distinctly “old school.” Like so many from the so-called “greatest generation,” he had a sense of decency and humility, and a commitment to positive contribution that, to him, was more important than the accolades that came along with his accomplishments.

In describing his own childhood, rather than focus on the privations of the depression or the war, he’d speak of his good fortune — subway trips with his father to visit the World’s Fair, visits to an uncle’s farm or, later, a simple beach house on the Jersey shore, attending Poly Prep on a scholarship, and spending idyllic summers at Camp Hawthorne in Maine.

Writing about his life, Don described himself simply as “a very lucky boy, growing up in the warm embrace of family, friends, school, and church.”

Don graduated from Princeton University in 1953 with a Bachelor’s Degree in en-

gineering. Later, in 1964 and 1965, he attended MIT where he was awarded a Sloan Fellowship and earned a Master of Science degree in industrial management.

For most of his career, Don was in the Bell system, first with Western Electric and then with AT&T. He served on the management team of several factories, including the famous Hawthorne Works in Chicago where he directed engineering and manufacturing of electromechanical switching equipment for the telephone network. He became Western Electric’s director of corporate planning, a post he held for nearly ten years, and ultimately held the position of vice president of corporate education for AT&T, running the Corporate Education Center in Princeton, New Jersey, and heading up business education worldwide.

Like his maternal grandfather, Don was a “Telephone Pioneer” and took great pride in having helped to build something of fundamental value in our society.

But, especially after the breakup of the Bell system, he worried about the erosion of loyalty between employers, customers, and employees. In time, he came to evaluate decisions against

a deceptively simple mantra: “Choose actions that shorten response time and which increase trust.” The idea of shortening response time, and providing excellence in the customer’s terms, is easy to understand in today’s hyper-competitive world.

The idea of increasing trust is perhaps more subtle. As organizational relationships are less defined by hierarchy or chain of command, what is the glue that can hold us together? For Don, that glue was an active effort to build trust and human caring across the organization.

Modern thinking for an old school guy!

Don could also be considered ahead of his time in quietly rejecting the prevailing model of “the organization man,” a model suggesting that one could and should give all to the company and, in turn, could expect near complete fulfillment in that role. He was deeply satisfied in his professional life, but he also understood the importance of a balanced life.

For Don, that balance certainly included “giving back.” For years, he was an active member of the Princeton Chamber of Commerce and the Princeton Rotary Club, serving as president for a term with each organi-

zation. He was a member or officer of the Board Advisory Group of the Girl Scouts, the Business Advisory Council of Manhattan College, the World Future Society, the Academy of Management, the American Society of Training and Development, and the Board of Directors for the Thomas Edison State College Foundation. After a long absence from any church, he came to St. Andrew’s in Yardley, Pa., where he was a devoted member for nearly 20 years.

His idea of balance included a quiet passion for so many things! He built and flew kites and model planes with his boys, read thrilling poems and stories aloud to them, painted perhaps a hundred worthy canvasses, wrote stories and essays and reflections. Don stayed in deep touch, over great distance and time, with many, many dear friends. He joined discussion clubs and he respectfully sought out those who might think differently.

He had a nearly lifelong obsession with Spain in general and the pageant of bullfighting in particular, becoming an officer in at least three taurine fan clubs. He worked out at the Newtown Athletic Club for decades. He was a tireless builder of sand cas-

tles with his grandchildren.

He loved to snorkel. Even when he had turned frail, his grandchildren noticed how he would come alive with power, grace, and fascination when underwater. He did his best, with his dear Patti, to travel every corner of the world. As long as they were together, it probably didn’t matter all that much, but Don was always planning a trip to somewhere new, and a return to this or that “favorite” place.

In this and every favorite place, we will miss him.

A celebration of Don’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 22, at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 47 W. Afton Ave, Newtown PA 18940.

PICTURE-PERFECT SALE: MAKE YOUR HOME STAND OUT WITH GREAT PHOTOS When it comes to selling your home, your listing photos can play an even bigger role than curb appeal. that’s because those photos provide potential buyers with their first impression of your home. And they can draw buyers just aching to make an offer - or turn them away in droves.

Make the right impression with these tips: • Clean and declutter first. Getting rid of excess furniture and knick-knacks makes your home appear more spacious, cleaner and better maintained.

• Use plenty of lighting. Dark or dimly-lit spaces look cramped, crowded and dirty. Increase the watts on your own lighting or bring in new lamps and open curtains to emphasize natural light.

• Include lots of photos of the main areas of your home. Ever see a listing that focused only on a couple of rooms? That’s an indication to lots of buyers that the other areas may not be worth looking at. Including plenty of photos with your listing lets buyers tour the home before visiting, and they can also help buyers remind themselves of the home’s features after a showing.

Not sure your pics are up to par? Hire a professional photographer. They have the equipment and experience to make your home look great - and that might help you sell faster.
