The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) has rejected Senator Kip Bateman (R-16) and Assemblyman Reed Gusciora’s (D15) request to meet with representatives of the IAS Board concerning the Institute’s faculty housing project, “to discuss alternatives and a possible resolution of this controversy.” Institute director Robbert Dijkgraaf, in his response Friday, stated that the legislators’ letter “seems to be part of a larger publicity effort to discredit the Institute and mischaracterize its project.” He cited “misstatements and omissions” in the letter that Mr. Bateman and Mr. Gusciora released to the press on May 4, urging IAS to move its building project elsewhere. Their letter emphasized the “historic significance of the property” on which construction has commenced. The Princeton Battlefield Society has asked the U.S. District Court for New Jersey to grant a preliminary injunction to halt the project. Mr. Dijkgraaf’s letter states that the Institute has acquired “all the necessary regulatory approvals” and has been thorough in addressing and accommodating concerns of the public and preservation issues. “The Institute remains committed to proceeding with its faculty housing project,” the letter states. “The Institute has been a responsible and patient actor throughout this process, which was confirmed and supported by all of the relevant regulatory bodies. We are confident in the thoroughness and sensitivity of our faculty housing project, which meets a critical institutional need.” Mr. Dijkgraaf’s letter mentioned that the Institute had incorporated a number of changes to their original site plans in working through these issues during the course of six meetings with the Princeton Planning Board, which twice unanimously approved the project. He also challenged the lawmakers’ assertion concerning the encroachment of the project on the Battlefield Park. “The housing will occupy only 7 acres on our campus,” he wrote, “not 22 acres, as stated in your letter — and by easement we will perpetually preserve the remaining 14 acres adjacent to the Park, all at no cost to the public.” Continued on Page 13

Council Votes to Adopt $61.9 Million Budget
Following a special May 2 workshop on the 2016 municipal budget, Princeton Council voted Monday to adopt the proposed figure of $61.9 million. The proposal had originally called for an amendment raising taxes in order to increase the town’s surplus by $150,000, but that amendment was tabled in favor of changes recommended by the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee and municipal staff. Those changes include some cuts, as well as putting off the purchase of a police car and delaying a hire for the Sewer Operating Committee, among other measures. “We’ve had a vigorous discussion on the budget, coming to terms with the fact that there’s no magic bullet,” Mayor Liz Lempert said at a press conference earlier in the day. “We’re working not just on this year, but on the future. If we start working on this earlier, we can see
where the trends are.” Council members including Bernie Miller and Patrick Simon have expressed concerns at recent meetings that the town was relying too heavily on the surplus of money not spent in previous years to balance the budget. The governing body was due to vote on the budget at its April 25 meeting, but decided more work was needed before a decision could be made. “As I said at the last meeting, it’s a good budget,” Mr. Miller said at this week’s meeting. “And it’s even better having been worked over and brought to the point that as best as we can forecast at the present time, our surplus will not be reduced as a result of the budget.” Mr. Miller went on to reiterate Ms. Lempert’s statement about the time frame and the scope of work on future budgets. “All

of us now understand that going forward, we’ve got to work hard on the question of managing expenditures, working to increase revenues, and making certain we get our bang for the buck out of the taxpayers’ money we spend, and be careful we don’t put ourselves in a position where we find our surplus being put into use,” he said. Council members voted unanimously to pass the budget. —Anne Levin
PPD’s 2016 Plans Include Contact, Education, Prevention, Communication Images of police in the news media and in the public imagination are often negative — depicting at best enforcement and at worst brutality. Think Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Ferguson — and so many other conflict locations throughout the country. Princeton Chief of Police Nick Sutter sees vast changes in the nature of police work in the 21st century and the need for new approaches to the job. “We’ve changed focus,” Mr. Sutter declared, in discussing the Princeton Police Department 2015 annual report. “We’re doing so much more in terms of positive contacts.” Enforcement is still an important part of what the police department must do, but the key themes looking forward, in addition to positive contacts, are education, prevention, communication, transparency, and proactive policing — with a heavy dose of technology for support. In following up on President Obama’s May 2015 report, Task Force on 21st Century Policing, the Princeton Police Department (PPD) has found an opportunity to ensure that it is implementing “best practices for local police departments, that will assist not only with crime reduction but also with the building of trust and respect between the police departments and the communities they serve,” according to Mr. Sutter. “We have already been doing many things that are in line with cutting-edge policy and in accord with the best practices nationwide,” Mr. Sutter added. “We have made a robust effort in improving community outreach.” The 2015 PPD Report mentions a few of the many outreach events initiated Continued on Page 13

On Wednesday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m., the Arts Council of Princeton presents the Goldberg Lecture in architecture featuring architect Shirley Blumberg. The lectures in architecture are held in memory of Bunny and David Goldberg. A founding partner of KPMB Architects, Ms. Blumberg is an invested Member of the Order of Canada “for her contributions to architecture and for her commitment to creating spaces that foster a sense of community.” Her portfolio ranges from mixed-use developments to highly specialized cultural and academic institutions, many with a focus on revitalizing heritage contexts. Ms. Blumberg’s local projects include 20 Washington Road for Princeton University as well as the new Campus Framework Plan at Princeton. She is the partner-in-charge of the Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan, and the Ronald O. Perelman center for political science and economics at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a member of the Toronto Community Housing Design Review Panel, and has served on design review panels for the Ontario College of Art and Design and the City of Toronto. She has been a guest critic and lecturer at universities across North America. The Goldberg Lectures in Architecture are supported by a memorial fund with more than 250 contributors. The series features an annual lecture by a prominent architect, beginning in June 2008 with Paul Robeson Center designer Michael Graves. In 2009, the lecture featured J. Robert Hillier; Stan Allen in 2010; Harrison Fraker, Jr. in 2011; James Polshek in 2012; and in 2013, Alan Chimacoff, Max Hayden, MJ Sagan and Kevin Wilkes were in a panel discussion moderated by Tom Wright. Reservations are suggested for this free event and can be made at (609) 924-8777 or earmington@ artscouncilofprinceton.org.

Historian David Hart will deliver a lecture on patriot John Hart on Saturday, May 14 at the Trent House Museum, 15 Market Street in Trenton. The 1 p.m. event is $10 for non-members; free to members. As New Jersey’s first Assembly Speaker, John Hart was among the early New Jersey leaders to play an integral role in the American Revolution. During the summer of 1776, Hart attended t he S econd Cont inental Congress in Philadelphia as a delegate from New Jersey and signed the Declaration of Independence. In December of that year, during the Hessian occupation of Trenton and the surrounding area, Hart escaped and hid for a short time in a cave in the Sourland Mountains of present-day East Amwell Township. The Continentals’ capture of Trenton on December 26, 1776 allowed Har t to return home. In June 1778, on the eve of the Battle of Monmouth, General Washington’s troops encamped on Hart’s Hopewell farm. Less than a year later while the war raged on, John Hart’s story came to an unfortunate end, dooming Hart’s deeds to historical obscurity. This illustrated lecture will examine the life of John Hart and his role as a leader in the American Revolution. David Hart will also discuss an upcoming film about John Hart’s life, in which the Trent House will be used as one of the filming locations. There will be complimentary light refreshments and tours of the house. Listed in both the State and National Registers of Historic Places and designated a National Historic L andmark, t he restored 1719 William Trent House and historic kitchen garden continue to reward visitors with a glimpse into pre-revolutionary life in America and its interpretation of William Trent’s lifestyle and diverse household.

Question of the Week:
“Who do you think will be VP candidates for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? (Photos by Emily Reeves)
“VP for Donald Trump perhaps Susana Martinez, Nikki Haley, Scott Brown, or Ben Carson. It’s so early in the race, more research is needed to know who to pick. I’d pick for Donald Trump someone who has management experience to help ‘make America great again.’ For Hillary Clinton, some people are saying Obama for vice president (if he can even run). I’d pick her campaign manager Debbie Wasserman Schultz.” —Lee Eric Newton, Princeton
“Donald Trump will probably take John Kasich because he needs the more moderate vote. Kasich is approved by moderates and by the New York Times. I think that would be a smarter choice for him. I can see Hillary Clinton taking on Bernie Sanders just because she needs some help from the millennium vote and it’s a large voter pool.” —Jack Taikima, South Brunswick
“For Donald Trump, I’d say Sarah Palin because it’s the most ridiculous ticket ever. And for Hillary Clinton, she has a lot of options out there. But she could gather a lot of supporters if she went with Bernie Sanders as the VP.” —Brian Lu, Princeton
“For Donald Trump, the only one I can think of would be Chris Christie. I know a lot of people don’t like him, but before Christie pulled out of the race he and Trump were kind of close. So it makes the most sense. And for Hillary Clinton, I’d go with Bernie Sanders. He’d give her the most popularity although I’m not sure that she’d go with him.” —Emily Swedish, Cranbury

It’s been on the radar screen for years,” she added. “It’s an expensive proposition. You can save trees, but there is a cost. We will be triaging what trees to preserve and what trees to take down. Of course we want to save trees, but the Council has the job of balancing the budget.” According to a report by Council member and liaison to the Commission Bernie Miller, delivered to Council at their April 25 meeting, ”The Commission will present a plan to Council and the administration containing options for dealing with the problem, including costs and a public outreach proposal. The plan will be presented in time for Council to consider including funding for management of the EAB in the 2017 budget. Depending on the plan selected by Council, it is likely that dealing with the infestation will be done over several years with a need for funding over several years as the ashes continue to die and be replaced by trees that do not host the EAB.” Options for action, in increasing order of cost, according to Mr. Miller’s report, include: • No Action — in which case “virtually 100 percent of the ash trees in Princeton will be dead within eight years.” There would also be increased expense for taking down trees that are already dead; • Selective Management — using chemical treatment for high value ash trees in

May or early June, creating D-shaped exit holes on the branches and trunks of infested trees and staying active through August. The EAB feed on the ash leaf and have a one-year life cycle. The EAB, native to Asia, first infest the top of the tree, which makes spotting adult beetles or exit holes nearly impossible from the ground. Woodpecker activity and damage on live trees is often an early sign of EAB infestation. Trees live an average of only 3-4 years after infestation. Mr. Miller’s report stated that the Shade Tree Commission is currently updating the tree inventory from three years ago to provide a guide to the location, size, and condition of the ash population. “An up to date tree inventory,” the report states, can “provide the Council with fairly accurate costs for the different options.” Sharon Ainsworth, chair of the Princeton STC, noted that the state had established an EAB task force with an excellent resource for information on the NJ Department of Agriculture website. “It recommends a balanced approach that recognizes that untreated ash will succumb, but establishing criteria for selectively treating high value ash as an option.” Ms. Ainsworth went on to emphasize the importance of a public awareness campaigns and an effort ”to determine what public trees are saved with a fair and balanced approach.” Arborist Ms. Konopka urged residents with ash trees on their property to work with respected, licensed tree services, approved by the NJDEP, in determining the best course
of action to take in combating educational institutions,” said Dr. Patty Fagin, head of school the emerald ash borer. —Donald Gilpin at Stuart. “We believe she will make an immediate and tangiStuart Names New ble impact on our development Advancement Director efforts and are thrilled that she Stuart Country Day School has chosen to join our Stuart of the Sacred Heart, the girls’ community.” independent day school in Ms. Brum’s background Princeton, announces that includes strategic planning, Lynne Brum will join Stuart trustee management, compreas the new director of institu- hensive campaigns/feasibility tional advancement beginning studies, alumni relations, anJuly 1. nual fund, planned giving, Ms. Brum comes to Stu- corporate and foundation reart from the Whitby School lations, government relations, in Greenwich, Connecticut, stewardship, special events, where she has been the di- marketing, and communicarector of development for the tions.

It all started with American Girl dolls. Izzy Kasdin, the new executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton (HSP), credits the awakening of her passion for history to the popular dolls that came with detailed, historically accurate background stories. While American Girl has since shifted its focus to a more contemporary model, Ms. Kasdin, whose appointment was announced this month, remains devoted to history — specifically of Princeton, the town in which
she was raised. She replaces Erin Dougherty, who left to become the director of the Flagler Museum in Florida. “I joke about it, but I think it’s true that those dolls really stirred a passion in me for history,” the 24-year-old said last week. “And I was an avid reader of historical fiction as a kid. I wrote to the company to complain when they started to phase out the historical dolls. They didn’t respond, but at least I registered my grievances.” T h e d a u g h te r o f t w o Princeton University profes-
IN LOVE WITH HISTORY: The Historical Society of Princeton’s new executive director Izzy Kasdin, shown here in front of a vintage building at HSP’s Updike Farmstead, has big plans for the organization where she has worked and studied since her days at Princeton High School.
sors, Ms. Kasdin has been involved with the HSP since she was a volunteer docent while a student at Princeton High School. Working in that capacity for three years, she rewrote the entire docent manual. “The HSP had lit this fire in me and showed me what I wanted to do with my life, which is interpret history for the general public,” she said. Ms. Kasdin went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in history at Princeton University, graduating summa cum laude and earning the Laurence Hutton Prize in history as well as the prestigious Moses Taylor Pyne Prize. A master’s degree in archaeological heritage and museums at the University of Cambridge followed, along with work in other historical organizations and museums. She rounded out her archaeological field school training in Colonial American material culture at the College of William and Mary. The summer after her 2014 graduation from Princeton, she became a part-time research assistant at the HSP, working on a few exhibitions including the permanent show on Albert Einstein at the organization’s Updike Farmstead on Quaker Road. Most recently, she served as the HSP’s curator of collections and exhibitions. It was this impressive resume and her familiarity with the town, among other factors, that made Ms. Kasdin the final choice for the job despite her tender age.

“I want to infuse the organization with a few strategies happening across the museum field,” she said. “I want to bring stories up to a level of relevance for our audiences. There is a lot more community-based storytelling we can do. I would love to see our collection grow to reflect the communities of Princeton.” “We have fantastic collections here that sometimes go unnoticed,” she added. “Increasing access and connecting to many of the community organizations that already exist are important to me. One of the great things about my having grown up in Princeton is that I know people and organizations and the great work they’re doing. There is a big opportunity for collaboration.” —Anne Levin

the top choice, even though we didn’t start out that way and we talked to a lot of very qualified candidates.” History is important, Ms. Kas din said, because it teaches a frame of reference that most resembles the human value of empathy. “It teaches you to consider things within their context. It’s so important to understand how and why things happened in the past.” Her attachment to the local community and her love of history made it impossible for Ms. Kasdin to pass up the curator of collections position when it was offered her last year. Now, as executive director, she is enthusiastic about passing her appreciation on to others. Her future plans include making programs more visible and accessible to local residents.

“People tell me it’s unusual, but I’ve got to tell you that as we looked at the candidate pool, she had the best package of ingredients,” said Scott Sipprelle, president of the HSP Board of Trustees. “She’s been working here in some capacity since 2007, so she knows the place inside and out. She has been our curator of collections full time, and doing such a great job with the inventory.” Ms. Kasdin’s youth was, in fact, seen as an asset. “Every history organization has an existential challenge to make themselves as contemporary and meaningful and relevant as possible to a new, younger, more easily distracted audience,” Mr. Sipprelle continued. “So having youth is an incredible advantage.

Is this how we treat our history?
Princeton Deserves Better! The Institute for Advanced Study, a fixture in the Princeton community, is in the process of bulldozing one of the most important places in American history. The Institute’s housing project will irreparably destroy land where George Washington launched the famous charge that decided the Battle of Princeton. This site has been identified by the National Park Service, the State Historic Preservation Office, historians and archaeologists as a key part of the 1777 battlefield. Please join with the Save Princeton Coalition in urging preservation of this hallowed ground before it’s too late. Add your voice to the cause of saving the site where Washington saved the American Revolution.

In a deal announced las t we ek, T he B a n k of Princeton is being merged into the Short Hills-based I nve s tor s B a n c or p. T h e agreement provides a combination of stock and cash with a value of $154 million for Bank of Princeton stockholders. Inves tors B ancor p has 14 0 o f f i c e s t h r o u g h o u t New Jersey and New York. The organization plans to add 13 branches, primarily in t he Pr inceton and P h i l a d e l p h i a a r e a . “ We are pleased to partner with T he B a n k of P r i nce ton, a com mercial ban k w it h a track record of strong profitability and growth,” said Kevin Cummings, Investors Bancorp president and chief executive officer, in a press release. “This merger w ill establish an important presence for Investors Bank in Princeton and will introduce us to the Philadelphia market. It will also add scale to our current Mercer County markets.” Commenting on Tuesday, Mr. Cummings said Investors Bank is “a larger institution but it is focused on the community.” “I n t h e e i g h t a c q u i s i t ions we’ve done, we’ve e n h a n c e d t h e c u s to m e r s e r v i c e ,” h e s a i d . “ We have a foundation with an endow ment of over $ 60 m i l lion, a nd we’ve a l lo cated $1 million over the next t hree to four years for the Princeton area. We want that transition to be seamless to the customers working with the Bank of Princeton.” According to a press release, the 11-year-old Investors Charitable Foundation supports initiatives in the arts, education, youth development, af fordable housing, and health and human services. Local residents Stephen Distler and Ross Wishnick founded The Bank of Princeton in 2007. The company acquired MoreBank, a Korean-based bank in Pennsylvania, three years later. The bank has nine branches in New Jersey, including three in Princeton and others in Hamilton, Pennington, Montgomery, Monroe Tow nsh ip, L amber t v ille, New Brunswick, and three operating under the MoreBank name in the Philadelph ia are a. T he B a n k of Princeton branches will operate under t he name Investors Bank. A s o f M a r c h 31, T h e Bank of Princeton had assets of $1 billion, loans of $842 million, and deposits of $820 million. Investors Bancorp has approximately $22 billion in assets. Under the agreement, 60 percent of The Bank of Princeton’s common shares will be converted into Investors Bancorp common stock and the remaining 40 percent will be exchanged for cash. T he Bank of Pr inceton’s stockholders can receive either 2.633 shares of Investors Bancorp common stock or $30.75 in cash for each common share of The Bank of Princeton.

The agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of Investors Bancorp, Investors Bank, and T he B a n k of P r i nce ton, but is subject to The Bank of Princeton’s stockholder approval and reg u lator y approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016. ”We believe T he B an k o f P r i n c e t o n’s c u s t o m ers and stockholders will benefit greatly from this
transaction,” said Edward Dietzler, president of The Bank of Princeton. “Investors Bank brings additional retail and business banki n g pro d u c t s, e x p a n d e d lending capabilities, and capital strength that will enable the combined company to better compete in our marketplace. Our officers and employees look forward to joining the Investors Bank team.” Mr. Cummings said, “We hope to be a game changer. We’re the hometown bank of New Jersey.” —Anne Levin

Mailbox Witherspoon Jackson Historic District Committee Thanks Mayor, Council for Making W-J 20th HD
To the Editor: With heartfelt thanks and on behalf of a grateful community, members of the Witherspoon Jackson Historic District Committee (WJHDC), wish to acknowledge Mayor Liz Lempert and members of Princeton Council for making the WJ Neighborhood the 20th Historic District in Princeton. We also want to acknowledge Elizabeth Kim, Julie Capozzoli, and the entire Historic Preservation Commission for their advocacy, leadership, and commitment in search of truth, fairness, and equality. Historically a segregated neighborhood, the WJ Community today is Princeton’s most affordable, culturally diverse, and eclectic area of town. It is a warm and welcoming village of interesting homes, people, places, and businesses. Our vision is to use this foundation to make the neighborhood more livable, friendlier, more beautiful, more fun, and more desirable. We understand that while many were in favor of the historic designation, there were those who were opposed. We are calling on all residents, to ask for their input, ideas, support, and cooperation regardless of the position you may have held. The fact is, we as neighbors should focus on our similarities rather than our differences as we work together for what is best for our community. We all now reside and/or own property in an historic district and should take pride in that fact. We also believe that “taking ownership” of our newfound status is critical. Communication can make the neighborhood more responsive to homeowners and residents, and being organized will serve us better when working with municipal leadership on present and future plans such as zoning, variances, and site planning. Our neighborhood is now and will continue to be a work in progress. We can and will have a say in its continued development … how it looks, how it feels, and how it grows. We are also very interested in identifying and working with landlords and the municipality to be more accountable to quality of life issues, being good neighbors, maintenance and upkeep of properties and curbside appeal. To that end, during the month of August we are planning to work in conjunction with the Joint Effort Safe Street Project and the municipality on a WJ Weekend Cleanup Campaign. We hope to engage the entire neighborhood in weeklong events that will celebrate WJHD, and include an art exhibition, community forums, an historic walking tour, block party, and youth sporting events. Witherspoon Street was once, and will again be a promenade with unique shops, boutiques, outdoor cafes, and other amenities that will serve the interests of residents and visitors alike. As an extension of Nassau Street, the central business district, and upper Witherspoon Street, the neighborhood will welcome walkers, bike-riders, joggers, and tourists who will experience the history and story of a proud neighborhood and its people. It will present a unique perspective of an historic district within one of America’s most historic towns. We look forward to continuing our journey from the past, through the present, and into the future for both our beloved neighborhood and the town of Princeton. SHIrLEy SATTErfIELD, DANIEL A.

it is very likely they instead would consider quality and or efficiency over quantity. Times have changed, needs have changed, how we use space and what space we actually need has changed, materials have changed, and building systems have changed. This added with the costs for annual maintenance, heating, and cooling is a current serious dialogue for buildings. Princeton has many architects who would love to sit down with developers, building owners, and homeowners and derive creative functioning, energy efficient and well specified smart buildings to replace (or rebuild) the “tired’ buildings with an incentive to keep the total new area nothing more than what it needs to be. yes, it is possible these clever, smarter buildings could cost more per square foot like how efficient well-designed cars cost more than the inefficient, clunky SuV’s we are seeing much less of.

Sensible Course of Action Is to Impose a Moratorium On Home Demolitions While Zoning Review Proceeds
To the Editor: I experienced a small measure of cautious relief from the recent decision by the Princeton Council to retain the services of a consultant to “take a hard look at residential zoning in the town,” as Town Topics reported in its May 4 edition [“growing Teardown Trend Brings in a Consultant for Zoning, Planning Study,” page one], The proposed teardown of a property adjacent to my own house in the vicinity of Mountain Avenue a couple of years ago prompted me to formally raise the matter with our Zoning Board of Adjustment. unsurprisingly, my entreaty was summarily voted down and work to demolish the preexisting residence with an outsized replacement commenced without delay. More interesting, though, was the feedback that I received at the time from Township Planning Director Lee Solow who declared in letter that my own 2500 square foot house built circa 1950 was “obsolescent.” Being a trained planner myself, this terminology struck a chord because in the world of property development it does not mean quite the same thing as it might if one were talking about an older model car or temperamental dishwasher. The notion of obsolescence is technical vernacular with a specific legal meaning and it was deployed to devastating effect during the 1950s and 1960s to open the way for so-called slum-clearance projects in cities across the country. Applied to the whole of Princeton today, a not insignificant number of local homes would presumably be duly designated because they are unfashionably small or architecturally not of the moment. The apparent — or at least potential — reversal of political sensibilities on this issue is, therefore, extremely consequential and I commend both Mayor Lempert and the Township Council for their evolving understanding. However, we should probably brace ourselves. If you think the pace of teardowns has finally reached an untenable level, I suspect that over the next few months there will be a mad rush to rapidly demolish an even larger number of perfectly livable homes around town as both sellers and developers sense that the permissive window to cash in is starting to close. The sensible course of action is therefore to impose a local moratorium on home demolitions while the newly announced comprehensive zoning review proceeds. MAurIE J. COHEN Morgan Place
“Journey to India,” Formal Dinner Dance For Needs Adults, Teens Truly Memorable Princeton Need Not Waste Time, Money Special To the Editor: Our May 6 formal Dinner Dance for adults and teens with Rewriting Zoning to Stop Tear Downs To the Editor: Like cars and other items, buildings often become “tired” with time and use. Princeton has many “tired” buildings. When economics, function, energy inefficiencies and/or depreciation come into play, teardowns are often necessary. Princeton does not need to waste lots of time and money rewriting Princeton’s Zoning to slow or stop tear downs. A simple way to curtail the larger new houses that are replacing the “tired” smaller houses is to incorporate an upfront new construction fee paid at the time permits are pulled for added space. Because building bigger does not necessarily cost more, developers of spec houses currently have an incentive to maximize the allowable area of a house. If developers and or homeowners building had to pay an upfront (sliding scale — the more you add, the more you pay) fee for building larger than what is there,

Steven has reenergized our monthly dances, but he and his dad Dan really outdid themselves at the formal.

Jenny Crumiller a Strong Advocate for Requiring Paid Time Off for Employees Who Are Unwell
To the Editor: I encourage voters to reelect Jenny Crumiller to Princeton Council. Jenny is an intelligent, kind person, who works hard and listens to all sides respectfully. I support her stands on many issues, but as a doctor who practiced for many years first as an internist, and later as a pathologist, I am particularly pleased that Jenny has been a strong advocate for an ordinance to require Princeton’s employers to provide paid time off for employees who are unwell or whose children are unwell. This makes sense both for the wellbeing of both employees and also for general public. Such a measure will decrease the spread of communicable diseases by keeping adults and children home instead of in the workplace or in schools. I hope readers will vote for Jenny so she can continue good work on Council. LILIA BELOV, MD Monroe Lane
Colleague In Community Work Impressed by Leticia Fraga’s Dedication, Energy, Reliability
To the Editor: Leticia fraga and I have worked closely together on the Community ID Cards and other community efforts over the last two years. I’ve been impressed by her dedication, energy, and reliability but that’s just the beginning. She’s stepped in to take a leadership role in organizing the ID Card effort as she has with the many other community organizations with which she’s involved, for example, as vice chair of the Human Services Commission. I can’t think of anyone to better represent the diverse needs of the Princeton community on the Princeton Council. BILL WAKEfIELD Prospect Avenue
Anne Neumann Unafraid to Take On Contentious Issues of Town and Gown
To the Editor: Anne Neumann and her family are established residents of Princeton, and Anne and her daughter attended Princeton schools. Anne’s contributions to Princeton municipal affairs and her plans for a livable Princeton have earned my support. Anne has pledged to help neighborhoods in Princeton retain their character at a time when many residents are concerned with insensitive development and overdevelopment. The tax burden of new development will affect all Princetonians. But Anne is well aware that some neighborhoods will bear the burden of new development in terms of density and traffic. Anne will, therefore, call for a delay on all new development near AvalonBay until AvalonBay’s effects on roads, drainage, sewers, and our school population are clear. Anne is a champion of the town of Princeton, host to one of the nation’s most prestigious, well-endowed, and powerful universities, that has been unwilling to pay what Anne and many Princeton residents believe reflects its fair share of the financial burdens it imposes on us. Anne is knowledgeable and unafraid to take on the contentious issues of town and gown, including a Council member and mayor with ties to Princeton university. Please see Anne’s creative ideas for preserving Princeton’s character and fostering an environment friendly to local residents and taxpayers — not shoppers who descend from tour buses — on her website www.anneneumannforcouncil.weebly.com. Please join me in voting for Anne Neumann! CECIL MArSHALL Moore Street

by the department, often in cooperation with the Safe Neighborhood Bureau or other community organizations. In addition to 43 school presentations during the course of the year, the PPD participated in the Wheels Rodeo (bike safety), the Corner House All Princeton DodgeBall Event ( “Dodge DUI, Don’t Drive High!”), Car Seat Inspections, The Committed and Faithful Princetonians (bridging the gap between youth and police), Youth Police Academy, the RideAlong Program, Community Night Out (with the Princeton Recreation Department) and others.` The president’s Task Force constructed its report on six main “pillars of 21st century policing” that Mr. Sutter and the PPD are closely adhering to: 1. Building Trust and Legitimacy; 2. Policy and Oversight; 3. Technology and Social Media; 4. Community Policing and Crime Reduction; 5. Officer Training and Education; 6. Officer Safety and Wellness. “It’s our new play book,” Mr. Sutter said, in commenting on the development of the PPD 2015-2018 strategic plan in accordance with the national guidelines. Citing 2016 as “yet another year in which tensions between some local police departments and their com-
munities took the national spotlight,” the PPD plan emphasizes “meeting the needs of the community,” “providing the law enforcement services our community expects and deserves,” “building upon the strong relationships already formed within the community while continuing to forge new relationships,” and “working together toward these common interests.”
Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter Mr. Sutter mentioned that the community has identified major concerns with enforcement and traffic and that the PPD has responded. He pointed out that there was an increase in motor vehicle stops and summons issued in 2015 — “that’s part of our strategic plan” — in response to residents’ requests. “We’re out there proactively trying
to make the streets safer,” he said. The number of motor vehicle accidents in Princeton was down in 2015, and Mr. Sutter pointed out that the PPD has “a plan targeting the 20 highest accident areas in town. I’d like to see if the increased police presence affects the numbers of motor vehicle accidents there.” Mr. Sutter explained that enforcement does not necessarily mean tickets or summonses, but often just making people aware, through police presence, “to slow them down. That’s where we’re focused.” In the area of communication and technology, the department is facing its most rapidly-changing challenges. “We are absolutely committed to transparency,” Mr. Sutter said. “We’re trying to invent new ways of getting information out to the public.” One innovation he mentioned is the PPD use of RAIDS (regional analysis and information sharing) online, which provides real-time information on crimes and their location to give citizens appropriate alerts and enhance community awareness and involvement. Mr. Sutter also noted the Department’s increased use of Twitter and Nixle emergency alerts to communicate rapidly with the public. In emphasizing the Department’s proactive focus on education and prevention, Mr. Sutter discussed the “public health issue” of opioid, particularly heroin, abuse — “more of a public safety issue affecting the community than a police enforcement issue. It can hit at any time, he

Sizing Up Trump In the Age of “All About Me” With Help From Shakespeare and the Marx Brothers
A
little over a year ago, the morning after Donald Trump announced his candidacy, a Photoshopped image of his rednosed circus-clown face filled the front page of the Daily News next to the massive headline CLOWN RUNS FOR PREZ. A little over a week ago, the day after Trump won the Indiana primary and became the presumptive Republican nominee, the front page of the same newspaper showed a piggy-bank-sized GOP elephant in a coffin with the words “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the death of a once-great political party, killed by epidemic of Trump.” The clown-faced front page is reproduced in Michael D’Antonio’s Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s 2015), along with examples of the “field day” comedians had after Trump announced. David Letterman’s Top Ten list of Interesting Facts About Donald Trump included the “fact” that “during sex he calls out his own name.” For a narcissist of epic proportions, this is closer to “funny peculiar” than “funny ha-ha.” So we’ve been Trumped. What to do? Where to go? Who to turn to for counsel and consolation? Shakespeare? Or maybe the Marx Brothers? I’m thinking of the old maxim “Many a true word hath been spoken in jest,” which is said to have its source in, of all people, Regan, one of the daughters from hell in King Lear, where she says “Jesters do oft prove prophets.” The Sanity Clause Last week when Speaker of the House Paul Ryan cited 1994’s Contract With America while sidestepping comment on his refusal to endorse The Donald, he unwittingly evoked the scene in A Night at the Opera where Chico and Groucho are haggling over a contract, rejecting one clause after another by literally tearing them out until the document is down to the part stating that the contract is nullified if any of the parties is shown not to be in their right mind, “what they call a sanity clause,” says Groucho. “You can’t fool me!” says Chico. “There ain’t no Sanity Clause!” Actually, there is a sanity clause, Chico, in the form of the card that Barry Goldwater’s opponents played during the presidential campaign of 1964 when the euphemism for the senator’s mental state was “extremism,” from his much-quoted statement, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” The cover of the September/October 1964 “Goldwater issue” of Fact magazine sounded it loud and clear: “1,189 Psychiatrists Say Goldwater Is Psychologically Unfit To Be President.” Inside were the results of a national poll of psychiatrists responding to a survey posing the question: “Do you believe Barry Goldwater is psychologically fit to serve as President of the United States?” Just over half of the 2417 psychiatrists who responded believed that Goldwater was not. This is the elephant in the room if you’re reading between the lines and behind the words of the various negative reactions, from both parties, provoked by Trump’s bizarre behavior. You have to wonder what the numbers would be should a similar survey be organized today. Michael D’Antonio’s postscript (“Understanding Donald”) in Never Enough notes that “A few years ago, some in the psychiatric profession proposed that narcissism,
which had long been regarded as malignant, be reconsidered.” After quoting a psychiatrist to the effect that narcissism is “an evolutionary strategy that can be incredibly successful,” D’Antonio refers to the “flourishing of the allabout-me technologies that have been adopted by so many hundreds of millions of people. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even the selfie photographs that bloom by the millions online are all expressions of the kind of selfpromotion that Trump has practiced for profit throughout his life.” It was when Trump began beating the Birther drum that his state of mind became an object of concern for those of us who were disturbed by the media attention being given a wholly amoral, unscrupulous self-promoter determined to disparage and subvert the head of state, meanwhile discrediting the government and giving the world a clear preview of the campaign to come. No wonder Trump says what he’s quoted as saying on the back cover of
The Love of Power Perhaps the most Trumpish type in terms of attitude and situation is Caius Marcius, alias Coriolanus. “The love of power in ourselves and the admiration of it in others are both natural to man, the one makes him a tyrant, the other a slave,” William Hazlitt has observed. “Wrong dressed out in pride, pomp, and circumstance, has more attraction than abstract right. Coriolanus complains of the fickleness of the people: yet the instant he cannot gratify his pride and obstinacy at their expense, he turns arms against his country.” It’s also worth noting that this fatally obstinate Roman warrior’s favorite exclamation is “Hang ‘em!” which could be construed as his version of Trump’s “You’re fired!” as it was crudely and sometimes obscenely recycled during the yah-yah-yah playground shouting match of the Republican primary. Also reminiscent of the stop-Trump talk among fretful Republican leaders is the scene
Never Enough: “I don’t like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see.” Over-Proud and Under-Honest If nothing else, the situation at hand offers another excuse to read deeper into Shakespeare on this the 400th anniversary of his death. For a start, the noise level of the 2016 Republican primary calls to mind the renowned passage from Macbeth that ends with life as “a tale/Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing.” Julius Caesar got an oblique sighting in this Sunday’s Times, where Ross Douthat has Trump “actively campaigning as a Caesarist, making his contempt for constitutional norms and political niceties a selling point.” You can add to that the misogynist arrogance of Richard the Third sweet-talking the widow of the man he’s murdered (“Was ever woman in this humour woo’d?/Was ever woman in this humour won?”) and “over-proud” and “underhonest” Achilles in Troilus and Cressida, “in self-assumption greater/Than in the note of judgment,” not to mention his “savage strangeness” and “his pettish lunes, his ebbs, his flows, as if/The passage and whole carriage of this action/Rode on his tide.”
in Act One where two senators discuss how to deal with a man whose pride is unequaled, who with his taunts will “bemock” the gods and the “modest moon,” who is “grown too proud to be so valiant.” Who else but the great Deal-Maker comes to mind when one senator pondering how to command his “insolence” says, “Such a nature/Tickled with good success, disdains the shadow/which he treads on at noon.” Being “well graced” in fame, which cannot be “held nor more attain’d,” “what miscarries” shall be his fault, “though he perform/To the utmost of a man.” In other words, let he who bloweth his own horn be his own worst enemy. Insolent and Injudicious The introduction to the “Epilogue to Coriolanus” written by Jonathan M. Sewell in 1778 and reprinted in Shakespeare in America (The Library of America 2014), suggests that the play may have been performed before disgruntled American troops during the Revolutionary War, perhaps by amateur actors in the Continental Army as a reflection of “general discontent” that prevailed among the soldiers. Chosen because it was seen “as topical and anti-authoritarian, its martial hero a majestic Roman” who was “Driv’n” to act

“by his country’s base ingratitude,” Coriolanus was for Sewell an object lesson for citizens not to “let your unrewarded sons complain/ They wield the sword, and fight, and bleed in vain.” In another article in the same anthology, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on the 300th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 1916, Coriolanus is referred to as his mother Volumnia’s “crazy-tempered son … insolent and injudicious,” who “would not refrain from insulting citizens long enough to get himself elected; he who talked so loudly of his ‘country’ and evidently thought of nothing further in it than the first families.” The scenes where his mother and his advisers are attempting to prepare Coriolanus for his appearance before the mob suggest something comparable to what Trump’s advisers will be contending with if they hope to tone him down for the debates and interviews to come. “Mildly” is the operative word. “Arm yourself/ To answer mildly; for they are prepared/With accusations … more strong/Than are upon you yet.” Having Shakespeare in his DNA, Coriolanus is well aware of the absurd contradiction in terms (Arm yourself … mildly) as he goes forth to the market-place to “mountebank their loves” and “cog their hearts from them,” repeating the lesson (think of the Monty Python’s hospital ward for actors with the disease of over-acting): “The word is, mildly,” and after being reminded yet again (“Ay, but mildly”), he ends the scene thus, “Well, mildly be it, then; mildly.” Of course the inevitable denouement of “mildly” comes when Coriolanus blows up and is banished, only to return the favor (as in, “You’re fired!”): “You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate/As reek o’ the rotten fens, whose loves I prize/As the dead carcasses of unburied men/That do corrupt my air, I banish you.” This Means War! Picture the first debate. The handlers have done their best. Mildly, mildly, they tell The Donald. He’s prepared, armed but thinking, “mildly?” And what if he works himself up? Like, say, Rufus T. Firefly in Duck Soup waiting for Ambassador Trentino, ready to offer him the right hand of good fellowship, feeling sure he’ll accept this gesture in the spirit in which it’s offered. But suppose he doesn’t. A fine thing that’ll be! He holds out his hand and Trentino refuses to accept. “Who does he think he is,” cries Firefly, “that he can come here, and make a sap of me in front of all my people? Think of it — I hold out my hand and that hyena refuses to accept! Why, the cheap four-flushing swine, he’ll never get away with it I tell you, he’ll never get away with it!” And when Trentino enters, it’s “So you refuse to shake hands with me, eh?” and whack! a slap in the face. “This means war!” ack at the hypothetical debate, things are going anything but mildly. Trump doesn’t like the question — something about some country he never heard of. Rhymes with hair. Or was that a crack about his hair? “Who asked that question? What did Crooked Hillary say? — she who thinks she can satisfy the country when she couldn’t satisfy her husband? That’s it! Game over! I banish you, CNN! I banish Clinton! I banish the debate! I banish everybody and everything but myself! You’re all fired!” —Stuart Mitchner

Matthew Desmond Event at Labyrinth Will Benefit Princeton Housing Initiative Harvard sociologist and MacArthur “Genius” Matthew Desmond will be discussing his new book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, May 18 at 5:30 p.m. Based on years of embedded fieldwork, Evicted tells the story of eight families and their landlords in the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers, and disproportionately for minorities. According to the Washington Post, Evicted is “an
extraordinary feat of reporting and ethnography. Desmond has made it impossible to ever again consider poverty in America without tackling the role of housing — and without grappling with Evicted.” Matthew Desmond is professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard and co-director of the Justice and Poverty Project. He is the author of On the Fireline, co-author of two books on race, and editor of a collection of studies on severe deprivation in America. A percentage of the proceeds from book-sales at the event will go to Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP). HIP is a non-profit organization that envisions the Princeton area as a diverse community where

After an hour with Wood, you go back to Hitchcock more unsettled than ever.” The Wall Street Journal calls the book “an elegant introduction to the director for the novice and a wealth of knowledge for cineastes, demonstrating that when it comes to Alfred Hitch-

HAM Basketry Exhibition
The works created by the 22 artists highlighted in the Hunterdon Art Museum’s ( HAM ) exhibition, “Interconnections: The Language of Basketry,” include everything from stapled paper to fabricated metal. Some employ found objects; others utilize clay, linen, or wire. Works range from a large interactive floor sculpture to a small intricate construction of metal and paper, but all are united by an inventive approach to an ancient craft. “Interconnections” opens at HAM on Sunday, May 15 with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. The event is open to all, and wine and cheese will be served. The exhibition runs until September 4, 2016. “T hes e ar t ists employ basketry processes and concepts in dynamic and imaginative ways, challenging the “BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL”: The Hunterdon Art Museum’s basketry exhibition features creations common view of basketry made with unconventional materials like the hardware cloth, hair curlers, and cable ties that as a utilitarian folk craft,” Emily Dvorin used in her basket, pictured here. said Carol Eckert, curator

of “Interconnections: The Language of Basketry.” “Experimenting with techniques and materials — sometimes referencing ancient methods — they create works ranging from large-scale, site-specific works to wall pieces, sculptural constructions, and vessel-based forms.” This exhibition looks to the present and future by emphasizing work created within the past few years, some of it specifically for this venue. It includes an installation by Pat Hickman, who has been prominent in the contemporary basketry movement; along with unique sculptural works by artist/designer Doug Johnston, whose line of coiled cotton rope vessels is available online and at shops worldwide. Nathalie Miebach is represented by a complex sculpture, which merges scientific and visual inquiry, and incorporates weather data from Hurricane Sandy as it approached the New Jersey shore. John McQueen, one of the most influential artists associated with the basketry field, has expanded his repertoire to embrace sculptural forms of all kinds, including books, columns, and wall pieces. All the works reference the basketry process, and while most use materials traditionally associated with baskets such as twigs, bark and vines, others — recycled plastics, zip ties and string — might surprise viewers. His work has been described as hovering “in the gap between craft, sculpture, and conceptual art.” Working at the intersection of art and interior architecture, Sui Park uses plastic zip ties in her sculptures, creating installations of flexible, organic forms, which spread across the floor or are suspended in space. Museum visitors are encouraged to participate in the interactive Penelope Project, which can be found in the River Gallery. The Penelope Project, created by Phyllis Kudder Sullivan, encourages everyone to carve their names and nationalities into the leather-hard clay arches that comprise the threads of the piece. “I brought the idea of interlacing to the forefront by

focusing on the concept of weaving as a means of interconnectedness,” Sullivan noted. “It underscores a connected approach to life in which different threads are integrated into one tapestry.” Other artists featured in the show are: Dona Anderson, Jerry Bleem, Charissa Brock, Ann B. Coddington, Emily Dvorin, Lindsay Ketterer Gates, Donna Hapac, Mieko Kawase, Jay Kelly, Heechan Kim, Nancy Koenigsberg, Tracy Krumm, Gyongy Laky, Jo Stealey, Gina Telcocci, and Ann Weber.

Historical Society Quilt Turning
The Hunterdon County Historical Society announces a rare opportunity to view the quilt collection on Saturday, May 21 at 11 a.m. at the state-of-the art climatecontrolled archive building located at 67 River Road in Flemington. Dana Balsamo, certified quilt appraiser and quilt historian will pull quilts from the collection to explore the fabrics, designs, and history of the textiles and their relationship to the County’s history. The Society’s quilt collection dates from 1830 to the 20th century with most dating to the mid-1800s. Except for a few instances, all the quilts were made in Hunterdon County and given to the Society by County residents. The collection includes signature quilts, fundraising quilts, and multi-generational quilts with remarkably few repeats in pattern designs. A sampling includes patterns such as Irish Chain, Log Cabin, Dresden Plate and Mathematical Star — to name a few. After viewing the quilts at the archive building, participants are invited back to the Society’s headquarters at 114 Main Street in Flemington to view the Doric House Museum and quilts in the historic house museum’s collection. Guests may dine on their own in Flemington or bring a bag lunch and eat at the Society prior to touring the museum between 1 and 2 p.m. Registration is required as places are limited. Register online at www.hunterdonhistory.org or by calling (908) 782-1091. The fee for members of the Society is $20; non-members fee is $25.

2016 Princeton Festival Promises to Inspire
The Princeton Festival, a multi-genre performing arts festival that runs from June 4 to June 26, features an opera by Benjamin Britten, a musical by Stephen Sondheim, two different kinds of jazz concerts, an organ recital, two Baroque orchestra concerts (1 with chorus), a contemporary ballet dance performance, and an oratorio accompanying a silent film. T he lectures this year focus on the opera, Peter Grimes, as it is the most important of the festival’s offerings in terms of the number of people involved, the venue, the cost of the production, the number of rehearsals required, etc. While the premiere of Peter Grimes in 1945 was a legendary triumph and is now part of the standard repertory, learning more about the story, the composer, and the music will enhance
everyone’s enjoyment of this 20th century masterpiece. Thanks to the efforts of the Princeton Festival Guild, the lectures and community engagement programs are free. The mission of the Guild is to excite, inform, and inspire the larger community. For more information and a link to purchase tickets visit www.princetonfestival. org.

Captain America: Civil War
CINEMA REVIEW
Avengers Fight Each Other in Clutttered Action Movie
A
fter an Avengers mission that went horribly wrong in Lagos, Nigeria results in a terrible toll in collateral damage, the U.S. Secretary of State (William Hurt) calls the team of superheroes on the carpet. He proceeds to chew them out for behaving like vigilantes with unchecked power, and then makes them agree to be supervised in the future by a United Nations panel. While Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) is willing to submit to the Anti-Hero Registration Act, Captain America (Chris Evans) is much more suspicious of these Sokovia Accords that were ratified by 117 nations. As a result, the Avengers have split into factions that takes sides as to whether or not they should abide by the regulations in the Sokovia Accords. What ensues is a visually captivating battle in which the former allies fight each other instead of resolving their differences civilly. Among those siding with Iron Man are Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Vision (Paul Bettany), and Spider-Man (Tom Holland). Captain America’s freedom
lovers include Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Fans of the series are delighted to see so many of their favorite superheroes together in the same episode. Regrettably, that is both the primary strength and weakness of this 13th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: Winter Soldier) have cluttered the screen by introducing and then failing to develop over a score of prominent characters. It’s too bad that they couldn’t come up with anything more interesting for the Agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D. confederacy to do besides battling each other. After 2½ hours the eye-popping special effects tend to get a little tedious once the wow factor wears off. Fair (H). Rated PG-13 for extended sequences of violence, action, and mayhem. In English, German, Russian, Romanian, and Hausa with subtitles. Running time: 146 minutes. Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures. —Kam Williams

to live on the shore and trained at Parabolic.” That training paid dividends as DeValve turned heads at his Pro Day in early April on the Princeton campus. He ran a 4.68 40-yard dash, did 22 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, performed a vertical jump of 40 inches and a standing broad jump of 10.5 feet, numbers that compared favorably with those posted by tight end prospects at the NFL Combine. “I think for anybody’s evaluation, about 85-90 percent of your evaluation is based off your college game film but that last 10 or 15 percent can be your pro day,” said DeValve. “I think for a small school guy coming from Princeton that pro day may mean a little more than it does typically, maybe more like 20 or 25 percent of your evaluation. There is always a question, whether it is fair or not, how is this guy going to fare against tougher competition. They really want to see your numbers stack up with everybody else’s. I think putting together a good pro day was important for my evaluation process.” As a result of that performance and feedback he was getting from NFL teams, DeValve believed he was going to be chosen in the NFL Draft, which took place on April 28-30 in Chicago. “My expectation was to be drafted, it is hard to say though,” said DeValve. “Anybody who is going to be in rounds 4-7 really runs the risk of being undrafted. You never know.” After not getting selected in the first two days of the draft, DeValve woke up on April 30 at home in Connecticut with a good feeling. “It was an exciting day; I had my whole family together and a couple of my friends,” recalled DeValve. “It was something we were able to celebrate, it was a special day. It is basically pick up the phone and they say who they are and that they are getting ready to make you a Cleveland Brown. There was a bunch of excitement from my end of the line. I talked to Hue Jackson, the head coach, and I talked to Greg Seamon, who is the tight ends coach, and then it is getting ready to go to work.” As the excitement from the moment died down, DeValve was able to savor his achievement. “It is hard, that sort of thing doesn’t sink in that quickly,” said DeValve. “You are watching your name flash across the screen a couple of minutes later and that is pretty cool. Everybody is giving hugs and congratulating. It was real cool.” Being pushed hard in Princeton, in the classroom and on the field, has prepared DeValve well for his NFL opportunity. “Nothing in my entire life challenged me the way Princeton did,” said DeValve, a mechanical engineering major. “It didn’t get easier because you progress through it. It was always challenging.

eth DeValve knows what it’s like to help revitalize a football program. At Manchester (Conn.) High, DeValve starred at quarterback and safety as he helped a new coaching staff transform the program into a winner after years of mediocrity. Coming to Princeton University in 2011 and moving to receiver, DeValve emerged as a key offensive weapon as the Tigers went from 1-9 in his freshman year to an Ivy League title in 2013. Now DeValve will get the chance to help spark a reversal of fortune on the professional level as he was recently selected with the 138th pick in the fourth round of the NFL draft by the lowly Cleveland Browns, who went 3-13 last year and brought in a new head coach, Hue Jackson, in an effort to get back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2002 season. “It is funny because throughout my entire career, I have been a part of teams who at the beginning of my time there were not good and did not have winning records,” said the 6’3, 245-pound DeValve, who was the third Princeton draft selection of the last four years, joining Mike Catapano (2013, Kansas City — 7th round) and Caraun Reid (2014, Detroit — 4th round) and highest-drafted Tiger football player in the modern NFL Draft as Reid was the 158th choice. “For whatever reason, that seems to be my lot in life as a football player, both of those situations are very similar to what I am walking into at Cleveland.” After a promising start to his Princeton career, which saw him make 49 catches for 527 yards and four touchdowns in the 2013 Ivy championship season, DeValve hit some hard times as his playing time was curtailed by injury. Playing only two games in 2014, DeValve got a medical redshirt and returned for a second senior season this past fall. “The fifth year was very instrumental for me in my life in many ways, not just football,” said DeValve, a team co-captain who made 33 receptions for 337 yards and a touchdown in 2015 playing through injury and finished his career ranked 10th all-time at Princeton in receptions (122) and 13th in receiving yards (1336). “I had time away from school a little bit to work and to train and to just get better athletically and then to be one year older and to play college football again. It was a good year in my life, going to school is really not such a bad thing.” With nagging foot issues related to a growth plate condition cleared up by surgeries in 2014 and 2015, DeValve turned his attention to the 2016 NFL Draft. “I was training at Parabolic Performance and Rehab, which is a combine preparation center on the Jersey shore,” said DeValve, who trained there January to mid-March, noting that he had finished his Princeton schoolwork in the 2015 fall semester. “I finished up in the fall and then I moved

I am going to put my head down and I am going to work extremely hard and I am going to get this done and I am going to excel.” Princeton head coach Bob Surace, who coached nine years with the Cincinnati Bengals before taking the helm at Princeton in 2010, saw pro potential in DeValve. “When he made a big jump physically in his junior year is when I first thought he could be an NFL prospect,” said Surace, who served with Browns head coach Jackson on the Bengals staff. “He always had a big frame, he started to separate himself from the other 210-pound wide receivers when he hit that 225-pound mark and he still didn’t have any body PRO POTENTIAL: Princeton University football star and team capfat.

Princeton Women’s Lax Earns Bid to NCAAs, Staying Alive After Losing Nail-biter in Ivy Semis Reflecting the increased parity nationwide, Iv y League women’s lacrosse has featured one dogfight after another this spring. T he matchup bet ween second-seeded Princeton and third-seeded Cornell in the semifinals of the Ivy tournament last Friday in Philadelphia proved to be no exception. The clash turned into a topsy-turvy battle as 16thranked Cornell jumped out to a 3-0 lead but No. 12 Princeton rallied to take a 4-3 lead at halftime. The Tigers extended that lead to 7-4 but the Big Red produced a late 5-2 run to knot the game at 9-9 and force overtime. Cornell prevailed in the extra session, tallying with 1:32 left in overtime. In reflecting on the thrilling contest, Princeton head coach Chris Sailer tipped her hat to both squads.
“It was two great teams really going at it; each team had momentum at times,” said Sailer, who got four goals from junior star Olivia Hompe in the loss to the Big Red with sophomore Camille Sullivan chipping in a goal and an assist and sophomore Colby Chanenchuk picking up three assists. “I was really proud of our kids with the way they battled back. It was a shame that anyone had to lose that game. Our kids competed hard all over the field.” While the Tigers showed plenty of grit, Sailer acknowledged that they needed to be sharper with the ball. “We had too many unforced errors; it is our achilles heel and it has plagued us throughout the season,” said Sailer. “Although we did a lot of
great things, we gave the ball up 17 times and that is a lot of extra possessions. I think one of the things that we did best is our ride. We forced a lot of turnovers. We gave them a lot to contend with on their clears and that created some fast breaks for us.” Having been ranked in the Top 20 nationally most of the season, Princeton will get to continue its ride in the NCAA tourney as it earned an at-large bid to the competition. The Tigers, now 11-5 and ranked 14th, will face No. 12 Massachusetts (18-1) in a first round game on May 13 in Ithaca, N.Y. The winner of that game will advance to the second round on Sunday against the winner of the first round clash between host Cornell and Canisius. “I think we were happy with the bracket that we are in,” said Sailer. “I am just watching film of UMass now, they have had a big year. They are big, they are fast, they go hard to goal, they play great defense. They really push the break and at-

tack right away. I think we are going to have our hands full. They have a lot of goals, they have routinely scored 15, 16 goals a game. It is not an easy first round opponent by any stretch. It is exciting to play a team we haven’t played before.” With the Tigers having advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals last year, Sailer believes that experience will help this weekend. “W hen you have been there before, you know what it takes and what is expected,” said Sailer, who has guided Princeton to three national titles (1994, 2002, 2003) and 24 trips to the NCAAs. “Having played in that environment before is always good for kids who are coming back. But we have a lot of young kids in our lineup, a lot of kids who were not on the field last year, whether they are freshmen or sophomores. It is an NCAA tournament game but you have to go out there and compete like any other game.” Playing in an Ivy League environment to which it is accustomed is another plus for Princeton. “We feel comfortable being at Cornell,” added Sailer. “We know the field. We know the place, we know the facilities. I think in that sense it is nice to have that familiarity.” If things go well on Friday, the Tigers could be facing a

familiar and formidable foe on Sunday with a trip to the NCAA quarters on the line. “Cornell is playing really well right now, it was a great game for both teams against us and then the Penn game (an 11-10 win in the Ivy title game on May 8) was an instant classic for them too,” said Sailer. “I think they are going to
be tough. I also think they have a really tough first round opponent so any of the four teams could advance to the second round. We are all focused on UMass right now. We are not taking anything for granted but we would have been playing them three times in four weeks. It is crazy.” —Bill Alden
LYNCH-PIN: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Maddy Lynch holds the fort in a game this season. Last Friday, senior defender Lynch and the Tigers fought valiantly in falling 10-9 to Cornell in overtime in the Ivy League semifinals. That loss didn’t end the Tigers’ season as they learned on Sunday that they had earned an at-large bid to the upcoming NCAA tournament. Princeton, now 11-5, will face Massachusetts (18-1) in a first round game on May 13 in Ithaca, N.Y. The winner of that game will advance to the second round on Sunday against the winner of the first round clash between host Cornell and Canisius. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Tiger Men’s Lax Has 5 Named All-Ivy
Midfield Zach Currier led a group of five players from the Princeton Universit y men’s lacrosse team who were named last week as All-Ivy League performers. Junior star Currier, a doeverything midfielder who rarely leaves the field, was named a first-team All-Ivy League selection by a vote of the league’s head coaches. Currier, who had 14 goals and 17 assists this spring along with 75 ground balls, was joined on the All-Ivy teams by teammates, as senior attackman Ryan Ambler (19 goals and 27 assists) and sophomore midfielder Austin Sims (23 goals and 2 assists) were named second-team and junior defenseman Bear Goldstein (23 ground balls and 7 caused turnovers) and sophomore face- off man Sam Bonafede (95-for-189 face-offs) earned honorable mention. ———
Pr inceton has played in three straight NCAA tournaments, with the Tigers making their previous appearances in 1983, 2000, 2009 and 2010 before the current run began in 2014. The Tiger roster includes three All-Ivy League honorees, with junior Alanna Wolff earning first-team doubles recognition in 2014 and 2015 and second-team singles honors in 2014, senior Amanda Muliawan, earning second-team singles honors in 2015 and first-team singles honors in 2016, and sophomore Katrine Steffensen, who was a second-team singles honoree in 2016. Laura Granville has earned both Ivy League Coach of the Year honors since the award was inaugurated in 2015. ———
PU Women’s Hoops Adds Williams to Staff
Meghin Williams has been named as the Director of Basketball Operations for the Princeton Universit y
women’s basketball team, the program announced recently. Williams finished her second season as a graduate assistant manager for the Nebraska women’s basketball coaching staff in 2015-16. She will receive her Masters in Education and Administration later this month. Her primary responsibilities at Nebraska included preparing itineraries for recruits which included travel, hotel, and campus tours along with working directly with the director of operations for travel preparation and scheduling. Williams also helped the coaching staff with all aspects of the program. The former Cornhusker was also important in coordinating the team’s basketball camps. Williams played at Nebraska from 2009-13 and was a member of the team’s first two Sweet 16 appearances. After finishing her career and earning her bachelor’s degree in broadcasting, she
was a student-assistant in the women’s basketball office in 2013-14 and took part in the “So You Want to be a Coach” program at the Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association (WBCA) National Convention. “I’m so excited to be part of this staff and the Princeton culture,” said Williams about her hire. “The expectation is unparalleled and it shows through academia, the faculty, and student-athletes that are here. I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to empower and motivate the young women in this program, and to play a role in building strong and confident leaders.” Pr inceton went 23 - 6 overall and 12-2 in the Ivy League in 2015-16 as it became the first Ivy team to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament last season. It was the seventh straight year that the Tigers won at least 20 games.
Princeton Women’s Tennis Gets NCAA Assignment
Making its third straight appearance in the NCA A tournament, the Princeton University women’s tennis team will face Georgia Tech in a first-round match on May 13 in Columbia, S.C. The winner will face the winner between host South Carolina and Winthrop, the Big South champion, on May 14. South Carolina is the No. 13 overall seed in the tournament and was an at-large selection out of the SEC. Princeton, now 13-9 overall and 5-2 Ivy League, was ranked No. 40 in the nation in the most recent ITA ranking released April 26 and Georgia Tech checked in at No. 16. Georgia Tech finished the regular season 17-8 overall and 11-3 in the ACC, advancing to the conference semifinals before losing to Miami (Fla.) 4-2. The teams have met only once, with Georgia Tech winning 5-2 in a 2012 regularseason match in Atlanta. This marks the first time

Tooker Callaway got a battlefield promotion in the preseason for the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team when his leadership on defense prompted the coaches to make him a team captain. The junior star has embraced the responsibility of guiding things along the PHS backline. “I try not to scream at them but we have to keep it coordinated back there so I try and keep everything r unning smoothly,” said Callaway, who also stars on defense for the PHS boys’ hockey team. “We have two great sophomore poles, we have the Jacobs brothers ( Patrick and Ian) there. We have been doing a great job, I think.” Hosting seventh-seeded Hightstown in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals last Saturday, second-seeded PHS didn’t do a very good job in the first half, clinging to a 6-5 lead at the break. “We took way too many penalties and they capitalized on those; they had a good man up play,” said Callaway. “The halftime message was that we knew what we needed to do. We just had to execute our game plan and know our slides and the personnel on their team.” The Little Tigers got it done in the second half at both ends of the field, outscoring the Rams 8-0 as they pulled away to a 14-5 win and improved to 10-3. PHS is slated to face thirdseeded Robbinsville in the MCT semis on May 10 with the winner advancing to the title game on May 12 at WW/P-N to face the victor of the other semi, which pitted top-seeded Princeton Day School against fifthseeded Hopewell Valley. “It was the execution and we were able to wear them down as well,” said Callaway. “Leo (Godefroy) had a big game for us in goal; he has been great. He has been on point, he makes tons of big saves. He plays well in big games.” Reaching the MCT semis was a big step for the Little Tigers, who fell to PDS in the 2015 MCT quarters. “To get back there, it is what we work for all season,” said Callaway. “We prepare each game to make it to the playoffs and be at our best so it means a lot to just get one more game and keep playing with the guys I spend so much time with and who I love.” PHS head coach Chip Casto loves the way Callaway is leading the PHS defense. “He is our quarterback; he is making the calls and he sees the adjustments,” said Casto. “He is making instant decisions for us and we have 100 percent faith in him to do that. He has been great, he has risen to the role and the occasion. That is why he was named captain in early March; we saw that early and went with it.”
At halftime of the Hightstown game, Casto urged his players to get back to basics in order to rise to the occasion. “ We h a v e h a d c l o s e games, like our Notre Dame game, where we came back when we were down late, that was a good example that we pointed to,” recalled Casto. “So it was relax, let’s get the next goal and stay with our simple basic philosophy. We just started marching a little more and the defense got all fired up to try to shut them out in the second half.” The PHS attack marched through the Rams in the second as junior stars Eamonn McDonald and Johnny Lopez-Ona caught fire. “It was good stuff, that is what we preach, just basically throw it to the open guy,” said Casto, who got seven goals on the day from McDonald with junior
standout Lopez-Ona chipping in four tallies. In Casto’s view, the Little Tigers can emerge as county champions if they stick to their stuff. “It is fun; this is good,” said Casto. “I am glad that we have count y tournaments so there is tension in the game. There is a Final 4 coming up and a doubleheader and that is good, fun tension for the kids. Everything we do, it is just do it more consistently, that is what we try to preach. It is fun to see it start to click, we want to be playing our best in May.” Callaway, for his part, believes things are clicking for PHS. “I think we just have to play our game,” said Callaway. “We need to play simple and move the ball and keep possession a lot and just try to grind teams down until we can grit it out.” —Bill Alden

Taking care of Princeton’s trees Local family owned business for over 40 years
From April 28 to May 7, the Princeton High baseball team had five out of six games postponed due to rain or wet fields. So when PHS did get the chance to hit the field, playing at Steinert in the first round of the Mercer County Tournament on May 2, it was ready to battle hard. Losing pitching ace and senior star Joaquin Hernandez-Burt to an injury after he was was hit in the face with a pitch in the fourth inning, the 13th-seeded Little Tigers put a scare into No. 4 Steinert, falling 3-1. “It was a great team effort,” said Roberts. “Mike Ramirez came in and did a great job shutting them down. We just couldn’t get anything going offensively.” Roberts is proud that his team has kept its head above waster this spring. “It is tremendous to be at 7-7 this late in the season,” said Roberts, whose team improved to 8-7 with a 6-5 win over Lawrence High in 10 innings last Monday. “It looks like we have qualified for states for the second time in three years, which is awesome. It has been a great year; we have left some wins on the table even still.” In assessing his team’s play, Roberts likes the way
it has taken care of business on the mound and in the field. “I wou ld s ay pitch i ng and defense have been the strengths,” said Roberts. “The emergence of Mike Ramirez is definitely a highlight; he is 3-0 as a sophomore. He has done a real nice job, he works quick, he throws strikes. He has a nice breaking ball he throws for a strike and he pitches to contact. I think he has thrown a couple of complete games with 80-85 pitches.” Rob er t s ack nowle dge s that Little Tigers need to make better contact at the plate. “I think offensively we are a little down,” said Roberts, noting that the team is hitting around .250 this spring after batting at a .339 clip in 2015. “We are not really where we want to be offensively this year. Our team batting average is subpar but our pitching has kept us in games. We have had our rough spots on defense there is no doubt, but we definitely look good overall.” Senior shortstop Hayden Reyes has been a very good contributor for PHS, as he is closing in on 100 career hits and is in his fourth season as a starter. “I don’t know where to
begin ; I remember when he was a freshman, I think everybody knew he was going to be good but I don’t think any of us ever imagined this,” said Roberts of Reyes who came into this week with 95 hits. “He has been tremendous. I still remember the double play he turned when he was a freshman against PDS. Offensively to accumulate this many hits is amazing, not a lot of guys do it. We have never had a guy do it.” The Little Tigers are slated to play at WW/P-N on May 12 and at Ewing on May 16 as they tune up for the states later in the month. “I am kind of looking at it as a new start; we just need consistency and hopefully a little bit of improvement in the offense,” said Roberts. “We are going to have to patchwork some pitching together, that is for sure. We are going to have to have some guys step up into the the No. 2 and No. 3 roles now that Joaquin is down. If we can take the lead and get to the sixth inning, we can get an inning out of Colin Taylor and an inning out of Hayden and close the door. We have done that a few times this year. They both throw hard, they both throw strikes, they are experienced.” —Bill Alden

With Augustus Stepping Up in Senior Season, PDS Baseball Primed for Prep B Tourney Run It was a spectacular catch worthy of the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 as Princeton Day School star Ryan Augustus crashed into the left field fence at full speed to track down a long fly in the fifth inning last Thursday against Nottingham in the MCT quarterfinals. Even though third-seeded PDS was trailing 6th-seeded Nottingham 4-0 at the time, senior Augustus didn’t hesitate to put his body on the line for the ball, ripping his jersey and cutting his arm in the process. “I have started getting real comfortable working around the fence from batting practice; when we are out there, we like to go hard in prac-
tice,” said Augustus. “We don’t want to fool around or let balls go past you.” PDS, though, never could get comfortable at the plate against Nottingham as it managed just two hits and had 15 strikeouts in getting shut out by righty Ronnie Voacolo. “That kid was pretty good but I think we were just going up there trying to tie it up on one swing instead of working good at-bats and driving the ball the other way and putting the ball into play,” said Augustus. “We just weren’t making adjustments at the plate but I think we were capable of hitting him. It was unfortunate.”

While falling in the MCT quarters was unfortunate, Augustus saw it as a step forward for the Panthers. “I enjoyed the run but I would have liked to see us get farther,” said Augustus. “Everyone is going to be unhappy that we lost but in my four years here this is the furthest we have ever been so I guess that is something to be proud of.” Augustus is proud of the team’s start as it improved to 10-4 with a 9-0 win over Holy Cross Academy last Monday. “I would really say that the most important thing is the camaraderie,” said Augustus. “We all pick each other up, we all care about each other … and we are wanting to give up our bodies and make plays for our team and our pitchers. We really just want to win more than anything. We don’t care about the stats or anything, we just want to win and that is IN THE SWING: Princeton Day School baseball player Ryan Augustus follows through on a swing in really helping us grow as a recent action.

W hen the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team played at L aw rencev ille S chool in early April, its offense clicked from the start as it jumped out to a 7-3 halftime lead on the way to a 12-8 triumph over the visitors. Last Monday, the teams met for a rematch at Hun in the state Prep A finals and it became readily apparent that things were going to go at a slower pace than in April as the contest was knotted at 1-1 after the first quarter. “It was pretty clear from the start that they wanted to slow the game down and they did a really good job of that,” said Hun head coach M.V. Whitlow. “I never thought I would see a Lawrenceville team slowing the ball down against the Hun team but I guess that is a sign of the times.” With the Big Red finding the range in the second quarter, outscoring Hun 3-1 to take a 4-2 lead into intermission, Whitlow’s message at halftime was simple. “We just wanted to get the ball,” said Whitlow, recalling
his talk during the break. “I felt that we were at a pretty severe face-off deficit and we needed to get the ball and we wanted to do better at the face-off X.” But with Lawrenceville star Connor Kirst firing in four second-half goals, the Big Red pulled away to a 13-6 victory. “You have to give a lot of credit to Connor Kirst at the face-off X and offensively,” said Whitlow, whose team had defeated the Big Red 14-6 in last season’s Prep A title game to snap a 13year title streak for Lawrenceville. “He is a great post-grad and he completely dominated the game. That was his victory. He was clearly the major reason that they were as successful as they were.” Hun got a big game from post-grad star, Luke Prybylski, who scored four goals on the day, and helped the Raiders draw to within 8-5 early in the fourth quarter before a late rally fizzled. “Luke is always going to get his goals,” said Whitlow, who also got a goal and an
assist from senior star Owen Black with senior Griffin Moroney chipping in one goal as the Raiders moved to 9-6. “He is a tough guy to cover; he is a tough matchup. They limited the other guys so much and they doubled Luke a few times well. I thought their defensive scheme really worked, they didn’t let us run.” With Hun hosting Montgomery on May 12 and Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on May 14 before starting play in the 2016 Inter-Ac Challenge on May 16, Whitlow knows that it is not going to be easy to bounce back from the loss on Monday. “That is a great bunch of players on the Lawrenceville team, they have a lot of talent,” added Whitlow. “It is tough. Losing a championship is not easy, repeating is not easy.” —Bill Alden

Having Already Won MAPL Championship, Hun Softball Looking to Add Prep A Crown For the Hun School softball team, it was an aberration in an otherwise terrific spring as it fell 10-0 at Pingry last Thursday. While Hun head coach Kat hy Quirk was disap pointed by her team’s performance as it dropped to 11-2, she hopes it will serve as a wake-up call with postseason play around the corner. “We just did not show up, they do have a star pitcher (Notre Dame-bound Katie Marino) but they are not 10 runs better than us,” said Quirk, whose team brought a six-game winning streak into the Pingry contest. “They are going to enter the prep tournament and now we have seen them. We know what they have so we know what we need to do.” Hun has already done something special this spring as it rolled to its first Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title in 14 years. “It was a goal that we had set for ourself,” said Quirk, noting the Raiders last won the MAPL title in 2002. “It has been a long, long time. We would always come close and we would be a game behind and two games behind. This year we knew what we wanted. When we came home from Florida and our spring trip, never in a million years would I have thought that we would have done this.” I n Q u i r k ’s v i e w, t h e s quad ’s goo d chem is t r y has helped fuel its winning ways. “I think we have come together as a team,” said Quirk. “They seem to have bonded well, they support each other well.” The Raiders have also hit very well, exploding for a total of 74 runs in their previous six games prior to last Thursday. “I just think that our whole lineup has just really done well and our top six batters have really taken control,” said Quirk. Hun has gotten good play all over the diamond. “Alexis Goeke has done a great job at shortstop, her game with Blair (an 8-1 win on April 30) was key,” added Quirk. “She had most of the plays at shortstop and did a great job. Julie Fassl is doing a nice job behind the plate. Megan Donahue has been a nice addition.” Quirk acknowledges that her team has a target on its back as it enters the state Prep A tournament, where it is seeded second and will be hosting seventh-seeded Kent Place in the quarterfinals in May 12. “They are confident but I think Pingry was an eyeopener for us; we need to see if we are able to rebound,” said Quirk, whose team will also be hosting the Hill School (Pa.) on May 11

in a regular season contest. “We have to just stay focused ourself. We know we have to play solid defense. We have beaten four of the
teams in the tournament twice so we are thinking because we have beaten them, everyone is out to get us now. We just have to play our game and let the other team make the mistakes.” —Bill Alden
POWERBALL: Hun School softball player Megan Donahue rips the ball in a game earlier this season. Freshman first baseman Donahue’s power hitting has helped the Raiders get off to an 11-2 start. In upcoming action, the Raiders will be competing in the state Prep A tournament, where they are seeded second and will host seventh-seeded Kent Place in the quarterfinals on May 12. The Prep A semis are slated for May 17 with the title game scheduled for May 19. Hun will also be hosting the Hill School (Pa.) on May 11 in a regular season contest. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS, WHAT IS THE "POINT OF NO RETURN"? Most buyers and sellers wrongly assume that when an offer is made on a home, there's no turning back. But in fact, there are different “rules” that apply to both buyers and sellers: When a buyer makes an offer and the seller accepts, the buyer usually makes contingencies and conducts due diligence. If these contingencies aren't met, the buyer can walk away from the contract with no legal or financial obligations. The most common contingencies are based on a title search and home inspections. If those contingencies are met and the buyer still decides to back out of the sale, the seller has the right to take legal action against the buyer to recoup losses associated with breaking the contract, including agent's fees. If the seller is the one to change his or her mind at any time after signing the contract, the buyer can sue them, forcing them to uphold the agreement. Understanding this “point of no return” can be tricky, which is why it's essential to work with an experienced agent right from the beginning. An agent can make sure you understand your legal rights as well as your obligations to prevent you from making mistakes that could wind up being very costly.
