After two decades at the helm of Palmer Square Management, vice president David Newton is stepping down. Taking over the job is Lori Rabon, who has been general manager of The Nassau Inn for the same time period. Ms. Rabon will continue to lead the hotel while assuming the new position, and Mr. Newton will move on to other projects within the company, according to Ms. Rabon. “What is happening is that ownership is transitioning some of our roles,” she said this week. “David is going to be doing some developmental projects with them in other areas of New Jersey. I’m a newbie, but I have been with the ownership group for 20 years. I’ll be working with both the Palmer Square team and the hotel team.” Mr. Newton’s last day was last Friday, and Ms. Rabon began her new assignment on Monday. The transition has been in the works for some time, she said, and has gone smoothly. “There are no plans at all to upset the apple cart,” she said when asked if any more changes were planned for Palmer Square Management. “I have complete confidence in the team here as well as at The Nassau Inn.” Palmer Square Management and The Nassau Inn are owned by a limited partnership based in New York City. Complaints among local residents that Palmer Square has become a trendy area geared to tourists rather than people who live in town have not gone unnoticed, Ms. Rabon said. “It is definitely one of the things we’ve heard, and it is something we are very much listening to regarding the mix of new tenants,” she said. “We are hearing public comment and keeping those thoughts in mind. We know there are services the residents would want to come downtown for.” Vacancies along the square had “nothing to do with these decisions, which have been ongoing for months,” she said. “This is really an opportunity for us, with the vacancies we do have, to strategically be able to place the right tenants in this premier property. I’ve spent all these years promoting Princeton as a destination, a gem. Now we’ve been given this opportunity and I’m grateful ownership had the thought to put me in as vice president and pull together all the different aspects of the Palmer properties. I’ve got some great teams to work with.” Continued on Page 10

Candidates Consider Charging for Communiversity

Should there be an admission price for Communiversity? The question has been raised repeatedly in recent weeks about this annual festival of local culture, food, and shopping. Sponsored by the Arts Council of Princeton with support from Princeton University and the town, it brings approximately 40,000 to downtown and surrounding streets. Some feel that charging a nominal admission could help increase revenue and as a result, help balance the budget. Others disagree (see this week’s “Town Talk”). During his annual report to Princeton Council this month, Arts Council executive director Jeff Nathanson suggested that the organization could work with the town, the University, and area merchants on a fiscal impact study that would examine the question of whether Communiversity should remain free or become a ticketed event. Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller brought up the idea of charging admission at that same meeting, and then again at a recent forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters where those running for seats on Council had a chance to answer questions on various issues.

Ms. Crumiller, an incumbent in the race, expanded upon her views during a telephone interview. “Communiversity has grown from a community town/gown function that was really focused on the Princeton residents to a regional, humongous street fair, even with car dealers there this time,” she said. “It’s just gotten a lot more commercialized, and the town pays a cost. It is less of a community celebration than it used to be and has almost gotten out of hand as far as traffic goes. Last year, I got stuck on my own street with my screaming granddaughter

in the car.” Charging a fee might discourage crowds and recoup the cost. “It could be a revenue source,” Ms. Crumiller said. “I’m thinking of a low-cost admission. If the Arts Council wanted to charge more for the vendors, that might also be an option. But somehow, I think we should get more money out of the whole day.” Leticia Fraga has also spoken in favor of charging “a minimal admission fee” for Communiversity. “Even with just a minimal Continued on Page 13

Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment Holds 3-Day Opening Ceremony This Week On the agenda is nothing less than the energy and environmental problems of the world and the future of technology in addressing those problems, as national leaders in science, technology, industry and government gather at Princeton University this Wednesday through Friday to celebrate the opening of the University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment.

“Meeting the world’s energy demands in a way that serves all of society and preserves the environment is an all-handson-deck challenge,“ said Emily A. Carter, founding director of the Center and incoming dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. “We are working broadly across many disciplines and collaborating with industry and other institutions, and we invite interested people of all Continued on Page 14

The PDS team in Nashville included 6th graders Dodge Martinson, Kai Shah, and Albert Ming; fifth graders Arjun Kumar, Winston Ni, and Jai Kasera; and fourth grader Eric Wu. Hong Ni, father of Winston, attended the tournament and reported, “It was against tremendous odds that our team entered the tournament. Many of our fourth and fifth grade players had to face strong sixth graders from other schools, which often had much larger teams with experienced players and strong logistical support including on-site coaches.” PDS chess teacher Bonnie Waitzkin observed, “Starting with round one, there were many upsets and disappointments, and not only for PDS players. Not one of the 215 players in the K-6 section won all games, although there were nine players rated over 2000. Our players worked hard to prepare, and they are seasoned competitors, but they were all surprised by the high level of the competition.” Last year, with the minimum number of four players, the PDS team won third place in the national championships. Ms. Waitzkin described the team, which placed first in the New Jersey chess championship in February at Brookdale Community College, as “a closely knit group of competitors.” They won their first team competition in 2010, with Winston Ni gaining first place in the kindergarten section. Last year Kai Shah won first place in the New Jersey elementary championship. “They have rooted for each other and studied together since they started studying chess in the curriculum as

Question of the Week:

“The town is considering charging an admission fee to Communiversity next year. What do you think about it?” (Photos by Charle R. Plohn)

“Communiversity wholeheartedly welcomes the entire town and gown. In my opinion, it would be a pity to charge for this joy-filled day.” —Anne Reeves, Princeton, Founding Director of the Arts Council of Princeton

“I would advise against it because you have such a success with what you’ve already established.” —Alison Roth, Lawrenceville

“Are they crazy?”

—Henry Landau, West Windsor, co-owner of Landau, 102 Nassau Street

Dur ing the summer of Kristina Lindbergh’s 14th year, she spent a week with her famous grandparents, Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, at their home in Switzerland. While she has pleasant recollections of the visit, the eldest of the famous couple’s grandchildren distinctly remembers being captive for at least one of her grandfather’s lectures. “I once got trapped in front of the fire with him for one of his downfall-ofcivilization speeches,” Ms. Lindbergh recalls with a chuckle. “I argued with him, but he had the facts to back him up. I think I’m not the only one in the family who got that speech.” Stern orations aside, Ms. Lindbergh, 61, has fond memories of both her grandparents — the controversial aviator who was the first to cross the Atlantic in 1927, and his wife, who became an accomplished author. They are the subject of a talk she will give Friday at an afternoon tea being held at The Present Day Club, across Stockton Street from Morven, where the exhibit “Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Couple of an Age” is on view through October. Ms. Lindbergh lives in Yorktown, New York, with her husband. The daughter of the Lindberghs’ son, Jon, she grew up with her siblings on the west coast. Her grandparents lived across the country and traveled constantly, so she didn’t see them often. “But they would visit whenever they were headed somewhere else and could stop and spend some time with us,” she said. “I was very fond of both of them.” It makes sense that Ms. Lindbergh was closest to her grandmother, who outlived her husband by 27 years. Anne Morrow Lindbergh was also an easier person to know. “She was the most wonderful sort of comfortable person you could possibly meet,” Ms. Lindbergh said. “Incredibly humble, always wanting to help with the dishes, that sort of thing. But they both seemed very interested in all of us, and loved to know what we were doing.” Ms. Lindbergh describes her grandfather as “extremely focused,” she said. “When

I first heard about Aspberger Syndrome, I thought, hmmm … I knew someone who had that. He was always working on a book or something, and he’d go straight to the kitchen table and open up his book and start working. He wasn’t ignoring you, but that was his focus. On the other hand, he would play with us, and whirl us around. He was incredibly strong. My father was always planting trees and he would jump right in to help him, digging holes and chopping wood.” By the time Ms. Lindbergh knew her grandfather, he was obsessed with environmental issues. “He wanted to preserve wildlife, primitive cultures, and the landscape,” she said. “I think a lot of his understanding of what was happening came from looking down on the earth from airplanes. After his Paris flight, he flew all over the U.S., so he knew what it looked like. Then, he and my grandmother made sur vey f lights and did speed trials, so they spent a lot of time in the air and had a good look from above. As time passed, he saw that massive pieces of land were being cleared, and rivers were being fouled. He turned a kind of about-face, saying that the air technology he had been so enthusiastic about might have done more damage. He was also shocked by the ravages of war. He was one of the first witnesses to visit Europe right after World War II, and he was horrified.” The exhibit at Morven is focused more on the Lindberghs’ relationship than his record-making flight across the Atlantic, the kidnapping of the couple’s toddler son, and the aviator’s Nazi-era controversies. Lindbergh’s exalted hero status suffered a major blow in the early years of World War II, due to his associations with members of the Third Reich. Asked to assess the strength of the German air fleet, he made numerous trips to Berlin and began to admire certain aspects of German life. “He became an advocate for isolationism and the face of the America First Committee,” reads the program guide for the Morven exhibit. “He resigned from the Air Force, dramatically. And at an infamous rally in Des Moines in 1941, he was exposed as

think maybe FDR had to do that. But the consequences for our family were considerable. To hear Scott Simon on NPR compare Donald Trump to my grandfather …. All I can say is that if my grandfather uttered an illconsidered word or phrase, I never heard it. I don’t think what he said had anything to do with his feeling for Jewish people apart for his extraordinary effort to keep us out of the war. It was out of extreme patriotism.” It has been 13 years since t h e news e m er ge d t hat Lindbergh had three extramarital affairs that produced seven children, who live in Germany. This extraordinary development “still boggles my mind,” Ms. Lindbergh said. “I cannot imagine why that happened. All the

Kristina Lindbergh speeches before World War II in an effort to keep the U.S. out of it. I think clearly, in hindsight, he was wrong, but for very good reasons. His terrible error was to blame Jewish people, the British, and the Roosevelt administration for pushing the country to get into the war.” Ms. Lindbergh has read the Des Moines speech several times, and feels it is not anti-semitic. “It was unwise to pick out the Jewish people as pro-war people, and inaccurate,” she said. “But he went on to say he didn’t blame the Jewish people for wanting the overthrow of the Nazis. Apparently FDR felt my grandfather was the biggest impediment for getting us into the war, and he intentionally launched a defamation campaign against him and said he was absolutely convinced he was a Nazi. “It’s so interesting for me to hear that, and weigh it against the kind of things we hear today, how the public will grab onto something and vilify,” she continued. “I

children of these other families are younger than I am. We could have used some of that attention he gave them. But who knows? Someone said maybe he wanted to experience an un-famous family life. I know that I raised t wo children and found that exhausting. And he had five living children in his first family, all of whom were wonderful, but it was not easy.” Ms. Lindbergh and other family members have met their European half-siblings. “We love them,” she said. “So it’s really nice, actually. They look like us. They have similar interests. It’s sort of wild.” Did her grandmother know? “I don’t think so,” Ms. Lindbergh said. “However,

when I was working on a last book of her letters, I found a diary entry in which she had just come back from a dinner with the director of the movie The Spirit of St. Louis, and had a long conversation with the wives of several brilliant men. She said it seemed clear to her that a genius needs more than just one wife … a satellite of supportive women who can buoy him up and give him comfort when he needs it. So I thought, maybe she told him to go out and get more wives. I’m not sure we’ll ever know.” The afternoon tea will take place at 4 p.m. at The Present Day Club, 72 Stockton Street.

Garden State Go Red Hold Annual Luncheon

Gisela Abigail Kam, Rodolfo Guillermo Aiello

Gisela Abigail Kam, daughter of Lilia M. Kam and the late William S. Kam of Washington D.C. was married, in a civil ceremony to Rodolfo Guillermo Aiello, son of Maria Edit Aiello and the late Rodolfo J. Aiello of Buenos Aires, at Moultrie Courthouse, Superior Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2016, a late spring day. Judge Wilma Brier, Branch Chief, officiated. The bride, a graduate of the University of Hawaii, received her BA in English literature and a Teaching Certificate in secondary education. She received an MA in Library and Information Science from Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The groom received a BA, MA, and MPhil in Linguistics from Columbia University in New York. Their first encounter, one summer’s day was unremarkable. They said little of import, yet coming away, they were filled with wonder. A few years later, while both were employed by Princeton University at Firestone Library: she in technical services, and he in the department of rare books and manuscripts, they met — and their every meeting together after was joyful. Rodolfo left the Library and began his teaching career as a lecturer in the department of Spanish and Portuguese at Princeton, where he taught for six years. He accepted a position at New York University, in 2000 where he was made senior lecturer. He retired from that institution after 10 years in 2010. Gisela became a librarian III, at Firestone Library, as the modern Greek and romance languages cataloger until her retirement in 2012. Princeton University campus, on a summer’s day was their stage. Now pensioners, and despite the high taxes, they live within walking distance of the campus and Firestone Library. Throughout the year, they spend their time in Washington D.C., Spain, and Argentina and wherever they are together, there is joy.

The Garden State Go Red For Women Luncheon, now in its fourteenth year, will be held on Friday, May 20 at the Princeton Marriott at Forrestal. Among the participants in the fundraiser is Stacy Quinn, a local “survivor ambassador.” At the age of 41, Ms. Quinn experienced the worst headache of her life. In December 2014, Ms. Quinn, a communications director, was in the best shape of her life with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol, but the headache wouldn’t go away for more than two days. Then, at a meeting a work, she started to have difficulty with her speech. Her words didn’t match what she wanted to say, but after a few minutes the episode passed. After an online search, several trips to an urgent care center and a visit to a neurologist, more than 10 days had passed.

The neurologist believed Ms. Quinn was experiencing migraines, but wanted an MRI and MRA to be safe. Less than 12 hours after those tests, Ms. Quinn received a phone call from her neurologist that she needed to go to the ER immediately because she was about to have a stroke. Ms. Quinn refers to the incident as “the stroke I never had.” Luckily, a team was waiting for her at the ER and was able to stop a stroke from occurring. The awful headaches were caused by a spontaneous carotid artery dissection. The left carotid artery in Quinn’s neck—the one that supplies blood from the heart to the brain—had dissected and was blocking 90% of blood flow to her brain. She experienced a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or mini-stroke when she lost the ability to form coherent sentences. With a TIA there is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, and this is an indication that a major stroke is likely to occur. “I never thought I was at risk for a stroke. It was really hard for me to understand why this would happen,” Ms. Quinn said. “Now that I have accepted what has happened, I want women everywhere to know the warning signs of stroke and to understand that stroke can happen to anyone.” In 2015, Ms. Quinn learned about the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement. She is now a “survivor ambassador” in New Jersey where she participates in Go Red For Women initiatives, such as the Garden State Go Red For Women Luncheon, which focuses on cardiovascular health and wellness in women. “The Go Red For Women Luncheon is a day of celebration,” said Ms. Quinn. “It’s a chance for heart and stroke survivors to come together to share their story, to raise awareness and to help raise funds for cardiovascular research.” Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association’s national movement to end heart disease and stroke in women. Heart disease and stroke kill one in three women – more than all cancers combined. The good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. Women who Go Red live healthier lives. The luncheon raises funds to support this lifesaving movement, supporting cutting-edge research, community programs and professional education focused on cardiovascular health. The event is sponsored locally by Bristol-Myers Squibb, The CDM Group, and media sponsors Star 99.1FM, Magic 98.3 and WCTC 1450.

Mailbox Asking Candidates How They Would Change System of Variances Favoring Developers

To the Editor: I welcomed the recent letter of Jon Drezner [“Princeton Need Not Waste Time, Money Rewriting Zoning to Stop Tear Downs,” Mailbox, May 11] as the latest installment in the dialogue often represented in these pages and elsewhere about the teardown and mega-mansion phenomenon affecting Princeton for the last decade. Mr. Drezner suggests (as other writers including myself had previously) that the incorporation of some sort of “upfront new construction fee paid at the time permits are pulled for added space” is at least part of the solution if our town is serious about both the promotion of energy efficiency and the provision of additional affordable housing. At the same time, I have noticed an abundance of letters endorsing various candidates for Princeton Council. The fact that the candidates and their supporters acknowledge the issues emanating from the rampant teardowns in our town is cause for optimism; the prevalence of the teardowns is evidenced by the increasing presence of the ominous orange plastic fencing that signals the bulldozers’ imminent arrival. However, the current incumbents only moved recently to hire a consultant to look at the situation despite the fact that these issues have been well known for years. Vincent Xu wrote in a March study of the situation that the Princeton “municipal construction department has issued more than 220 building permits for new singlefamily units from 2007 – 2015, with a spike of more than 40 permits in 2015.” While some action was taken on zoning changes last December, the current administration did not accept or enact changes that would have altered “the maximum construction allowed on undersized lots.” While I respect the sincere encomia offered for those

seeking election or reelection in these and other pages, my own decision about whom to support will depend largely upon specific promises made to address this most significant challenge faced by our town. Specifically, I would like to know what each candidate would do to change the current system of variances that favors developers to the detriment of existing neighborhoods. Does a candidate believe that the current zoning system is appropriate or overly permissive? Will he or she commit to specific actions to change the system? Will a candidate promise to introduce at the very first meeting after their election a motion for upfront new construction fees that would go to a fund to construct additional affordable housing? These are not the only questions that should concern us in Princeton, but they are important ones that demand specific answers and in the case of those officeholders who have thus far failed to act credible explanations.

McCarter Thanks Greater Princeton Community For Support of Theatre Center’s Annual Gala

To the Editor: McCarter Theatre Center’s annual Gala was held this past Saturday night featuring a performance by internationally renowned virtuoso classical pianist lang lang, who performed for a packed theatre as the centerpiece of the evening. Following a week of appearances at lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, his appearance at our 1,072 seat Matthews Theatre marks the smallest venue in which he’ll perform during the entirety of his 2016 world tour! This is the fourth time that lang lang has performed at McCarter in his storied career. Saturday’s appearance was in a way a tribute to the abilities of our venerable Special Programming Director Bill lockwood to spot world-class talent—lang lang thrilled Princeton audiences with his talent quite early in his stellar career. The theme of the evening was Truman Capote’s epic Black & White Ball and dinner guests arrived sporting masks and vintage 1960s fashion. The seated dinner for 380 guests was catered by Jimmy Duffy’s Catering and the post-performance party featured late-night Southern comfort food, cocktails, desserts, music, and plenty of dancing. We offer our very sincere thanks to the greater Princeton community for the tremendous support of this outstanding event. Special thanks go out to our fantastic Gala Committee and to Gala Committee Co-Chairpersons— Tory Hamilton, Cher yl Goldman, and Paula Chow—who

orchestrated a festive and glittering evening for our guests. We would also like to thank Sebastian Clarke of Rago Arts and Auction Center for conductingn our live auction and Viburnum Designs of Princeton for assisting with our center pieces. lending their support to this year’s Gala as Gold level sponsors were six very generous corporations: Bloomberg, BNY Mellon, Cure/PURE NJ, Maiden Re, Mathematica Policy Research, and Saul Ewing llP. We are deeply grateful for that support, and for that of many other corporate and individual sponsors and advertisers. We also want to give a special thanks to Princeton University for their longstanding support of this event and the theatre throughout the season. The proceeds of this event are used to further McCarter’s artistic and educational programming throughout our region. More than one hundred thousand people annually— from the five county region and beyond— see a show at McCarter or participate in a McCarter class or workshop. TIMOTHY J. SHIElDS – MANAGING DIRECTOR EMIlY MANN – ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Concerned That Teardowns May Result In A Small-Scale Environmental Catastrophe

To the Editor: One factor, at least in principle, to be taken into consideration in reviewing and revising zoning and planning policy with respect to teardowns and replacements with oversize buildings would seem to be the environmental impact of a teardown. From even a relatively small house of typical mid-century construction, well over 1000 cubic feet of building materials must be disposed of, consisting primarily of wood, sheetrock, and roofing. At an average weight of 50 pounds per cubic foot, that’s 25 tons, most of which presumably ends up in landfills. Adding in heating and cooling equipment, built-in appliances, plumbing, wiring, ducting, and bathroom and laundry fixtures, etc., it’s possible to get the impression of a small-scale environmental catastrophe. To the people who built and lived in the house, it can seem like a different kind of tragedy, but that’s for them to suffer bravely while counting their money. If environmental concerns over the disposal of organic garbage and dead leaves are as important as represented in various recent letters in Town Topics, such concerns would seem to apply at least as significantly to teardowns.

Best Candidates at League of Women Voters Forum Were Jenny Crumiller, Anne Neumann

To The Editor: Anyone who paid attention to the May 11 league of Women Voters Candidates Forum couldn’t come away from it without acknowledging that Jenny Crumiller and Anne Neumann are hands down the two best candidates for election to the Princeton Council in the Democratic Primary on June 7. I rated all six candidates on (1) Intelligence, (2) knowledge of the issues likely to come before Council, (3) Relevant prior experience, (4) Responsiveness to the questions asked, and (5) Practicality and reasonableness of their proposed solutions to municipal problems. On every one of those criteria (with a single exception) Crumiller and Neumann came out as number one or two. You might vote for one or the other of the two other candidates based on other criteria (you know them, they play well in the sand box, they won’t challenge powerful people or institutions, you like the people who support them—for political or other reasons), but that would be a big mistake. If you want to have the really best people representing you and voting on how to raise and spend your hard earned tax dollars you’ll vote for Jenny and Anne. Jenny has served on Council since the two Princeton’s were consolidated and previously in the Borough. No one of the other three knows better the facts and issues that are likely to come before Council in the next three years and will be more prepared to do the work of Council from day one than Anne Neumann. Jenny has had the courage to challenge those who think they know it all, even in those times when she is outvoted. She speaks truth to power. Similarly Anne has asked hard questions and taken positions that are in the best interest of the citizens and voters even when she met resistance from the most powerful institutions in town. Remember we are voting not only to return the experienced Jenny Crumiller to Council but also to replace Patrick Simon who single handedly has asked the tough questions that have resulted in better policies and saved tax dollars. Of the three other candidates, only Anne Neumann comes close to filling the big shoes of Patrick Simon. Her strength to take stands on tough issues is based on knowledge, analysis, and practicality. Unlike her two adversaries for the vacant seat she has not proposed fairy tale solutions like a constitutional convention (in the power of the Princeton Council to convene?) or simple nostrums like “neighbors don’t sue neighbors,” or “I’ll represent everyone.” These statements sound good to the naive, but it make no practical sense, and are the products of limited knowledge, analysis, preparation, and experience. You can choose “good guys” or the most competent to represent you. If the criteria for earning your vote, like mine, are designed to select the most competent, you can’t help but cast you ballots for Jenny Crumiller and Anne Neumann. JOSEPH C.

fee ($2- $5), the revenue would be significant based on the number of visitors that attend each year,” she wrote in an email. “There are logistics that would need to be worked out, but it is possible to do. For example, tenants who live within the boundaries of the blocked off streets could not be required to pay an entrance fee. I also believe there should be a lower fee for residents of Princeton vs. outof-town visitors, as we have for entrance to Community Pool.” Taxpayers should not have to shoulder the cost of Communiversity when, “most likely, the majority of the attendees are from out of town,” she added. Council candidate Tim Quinn is in favor of looking at ways to offset the cost of Communiversit y. “However, I think we need to listen carefully to the perspective of the Arts Council before declaring that charging for admission is the way to go,” he said in an email. “My understanding is that Communiversity is a fairly major fundraiser for the Arts Council, and we need to take that into account before deciding on something that might adversely affect vendor participation or attendance.” Mr. Quinn would like to get the town of Lambertville’s perspective on the municipal impact of its annual Shad Festival, a three-day street fair that has evolved to include support from the local chamber of commerce. “Perhaps Communiversity has simply outgrow n its

current model and we need to look at a variety of funding sources before deciding that charging admission is the only way we can minimize the cost to the community,” he said. “I personally see Communiversity as an opportunity to emphasize the use of cycling, walking, and public transportation by those of us who live in town.” Candidate Anne Neumann is also a fan of Communiversity, but she agrees that visitors should pay to attend. “A small contribution from most of 2016’s 40,000 visitors would easily have covered the $30,000 in municipal spending,” she wrote in an email about the cost for clean-up and policing. Communiversity is “a wonderful event,” she said, but it has become overcrowded. Deciding how the admission price should be split between the Arts Council, the University, and the town, is the question. Mr. Nathanson estimated the cost of the event between $100,000 and $150,000. “How did Mr. Nathanson arrive at that amount; what was the University’s portion; and how much of the Arts Council’s expenses were offset by contributions?,” Ms. Neuman continued, adding “the Arts Council uses volunteers to help organize the event and lists sponsors for Communiversity at various levels from participating sponsors, to premium, presenting, and a single sponsor. “Communiversity was initiated by the Arts Council and Princeton University students in 1970,” Ms. Neumann concluded. “Unless

shown otherwise, I would favor the town being repaid for its support before the University and the Arts Council divide any remaining funds.” —Anne Levin

Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands Annual Meeting

Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands Annual Meeting and Program on “Looking at Lichens: An Illustrated Talk by Dr. James Lendemer” will take place on Thursday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. at 145 Mapleton Road, Kingston. Dr. James Lendemer, a lichenologist from the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, will speak on the fascinating and little known world of lichens. The slide talk will be preceded by a short business meeting. The event is free, refreshments will be served, and all are welcome. For more information and directions, visit www.fpnl.org or call (609) 683-0483. Almost everyone has seen a lichen, but few people know much about these small plantlike beings that have no roots, stems, or leaves, despite the fact that over 5,000 species of lichen and related fungi have been documented in North America. Lichens are a fusion of two unrelated organisms, usually a green algae and a fungus. Most lichens grow slowly and may grow only in a narrow range of habitat conditions. This makes them especially susceptible to habitat disruption. Many species are sensitive to air pollution, and lichens are used throughout the world to assess and monitor air quality. They are an important part

Mingus Gets It All — Taking Music To the Limit in a New York Minute Charles Mingus and his music gave the impression of howling assurance and terrifying emotions. His bass echoed like a giant’s threat, to be soothed by his balmy melodies...He was dogmatic, pensive, demagogoic, irreverent, furious, nostalgic...He is the best example we have of disciplined turmoil. —Gary Giddins, from Visions of Jazz n midwest radio nights around the middle of the previous century teenagers up past their bedtime could pull in clear-channel stations like CKLW in Toronto, WLS in Chicago, and WLW in Cincinnati which, legend had it, beamed a signal so powerful it could be picked up on backyard fences and, some said, on the fillings in your teeth. In a college town 200 miles south of Chicago, a high school sophomore listening to a station in Dallas/Fort Worth on “a little crackerbox AM radio” picked up the music that changed his life. In Better Git It In Your Soul: An Interpretive Biography of Charles Mingus (University of California Press $34.95), Krin Gabbard recalls what happened the first time he heard Charles Mingus’s ballet suite The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady: “I could not believe my ears. I had no idea that such textures and harmonies were even possible. As Mingus magisterially drove the band with his bass, saxophones howled in the upper register while rumbling brass instruments growled at the lower end. No sooner had I decided that the music was full of menace than peaceful, lyrical harmonies seamlessly emerged from the mix. The tempo would speed up, then slow down, giving the music an exhilarating, nervous edge, as if it were searching for a direction.” Gabbard calls it his “road to Damascus moment,” except that the road led to New York City: “There was another world out there, and I wanted to be in it.” Before New York there was another midwestern college town roughly 250 miles south of Chicago where in 1975 Gabbard “finally saw Mingus,” live, “with his last great quintet.” On stage in Bloomington, Indiana, Mingus was “a force of nature, a law unto himself.” Escaping the Fifties In the same town 15 years earlier, the year the sixties officially began, the album Mingus Ah Hum was a vivid presence in pot-hazed dormitory rooms and rooming houses on and around the campus of Indiana University. In what Van Morrison called “the days before rock and roll,” we were looking for some energy. There had been hints of things to come in Buddy Morrow’s “Night Train” riff, in the mayhem of the “Rock Around the Clock” scene in Blackboard Jungle, in the soundtrack of Man With a Golden Arm, and most powerfully, speaking of radio nights, in the gospel music and rhythm and blues picked up loud and clear after midnight on Nashville’s WLAC. By 1960 what we got high to hear were the musings of Miles Davis and haunting phrasings of Bill Evans, but what we needed, the game-changer, was the first track on Mingus Ah Hum, the

one Krin Gabbard uses for his title, the one we could never seem to stop playing because when the divining rod of the phonograph needle landed on Mingus’s big, naked, now-here-we-go, now-here-we-go bass line leading into “Better Git It In Your Soul,” we had all the fuel we needed for the great escape, we were on our way, this was the heartbeat of the night world, New York, and the other land of a brandnew decade, the 1950s fading fast in the rear view mirror of the Mingus mobile like a billboard of Ike and Mamie waving goodbye, Mingus shouting get on get on, spinning the wheel, pounding it, surging us and slowing us, breaking into the open. We never got enough of that high-octane ride; true to the Esso ad of the era, we had a tiger named Mingus in the tank. Getting It All Charles Mingus was famous for interrupting live performances of his various bands to call out musicians he thought weren’t per for m ing to his standard. K r i n G abb ard saw him in action on one of t h o s e q u i n te t gigs in Bloomington. When a young alto player who had been invited to sit in “made the mistake of playing too long, Mingus unceremoniously stopped t he ba nd a nd ordered him to stop doing what way too many other alto saxophonists do — try to play like Charlie Parker. As he was leaving t he band stand, the young man forgot to pick up his saxophone stand. More than a little terrified of Mingus, he never went back for it.” For readers inclined to look askance at such behavior, Gabbard wisely offers a wealth of evidence for the abiding necessity of Mingus being Mingus. As the title of the book and the song itself suggest, “better git it in your soul” means going to the limit and, as Clark Terry liked to say, “getting it all” every time you were on the stand or in the studio. Gabbard shines a light on a seminal moment by quoting a story Mingus told on himself, how in the late 40s when he and trumpeter Fats Navarro were both members of Lionel Hampton’s big band, Mingus took a bass solo that he felt visibly proud of and Navarro told him, “You played all the right notes. You got the theory right. But you didn’t tell me anything. You didn’t play what you felt. You didn’t say, ‘Hello, Fats I love you.’ “

Hold That Tear! Mingus also understood the necessity of emotional restraint. After an event honoring Duke Ellington, he embraced the man who had organized it, “pulling him into his three-hundred pounds of girth” and expressing himself with such warmth that the man was brought “to the verge of tears.” When Mingus saw what was about to happen, he said, “with sudden forcefulness: ‘Oh, no. Naw, man. Hold that tear! Call it back. Call that one back. I mean it. Call it back! ... Keep that tear. Save it for another time on down the road. You need to keep that one — it’s special. Hold it in reserve!” You can hear hints of Mingus music in that quote from Gabbard’s introduction. Imagine how it would sound, the mixture of command and compassion, calling someone out for the sake of an emotional moment of truth, a dynamic not unlike the one suggested in Gabbard’s first i mpr e s s ion of The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady: “menace” followed by “peaceful, lyrical harmonies,” a te m p o t h at “w o u l d s p e e d up, t hen slow down, giving the music an exhilarating, nervous edge.” Here the “nervous edge” was in Mingus’s ref usal of t he obvious scenario, the too-easy reading that says a-hug-fromMingus means a tear-in-the-eye. Even then, man to man, no bass in hand, Mingus was the leader, playing the moment to the hilt, saying “Hello I love you” but “hold that tear.” The poetry of emotional rapport between musicians is in evidence again when Gabbard focuses on a moment during the 56th birthday party that Mingus’s wife Sue threw for him in April 1978, less than a year before he died. Suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease, Mingus was confined to a wheelchair. One of the people who stopped by to see him was tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins. “Although the two never recorded together,” Gabbard notes, “they were friends. Rollins walked over to Mingus and sat down next to his wheelchair. The two sat for at least eight minutes just looking into each other’s eyes. Neither man said a word.” “At least eight minutes?” That’s how the young pianist quoted in the book remembers it. But who was counting? A single minute of silent communication between

two such giants would have been impressive enough. Master of Ceremonies In his own “paradoxical, tempestuous, loving, angry, spiritual, defiant, and questing” way (Gabbard’s words), Mingus was always teaching, always leading. His solution to the problem of chattering audiences could be theatrical, like the night when faced with a noisy, inattentive crowd at the Village Vanguard, he stopped playing and handed a newspaper to his pianist and a chess set to the drummer and saxophonist, meanwhile setting up a rabbit-ear TV, which he began watching. Not until the audience shut up and got the message did Mingus resume the set. When Sue Mingus moved into an apartment on West 87th Street after several “breakups and reconciliations,” Mingus rented a space in the building directly across the street, filled it with all sorts of light bulbs, wires and timing devices, and for weeks staged elaborate light shows for Sue that she described in her memoir Tonight at Noon: “Sometimes they splattered bright, rude, and incessant through the dark. Other times he gently staggered the rhythms of his bulbs. He invented fresh images, sacred and obscene,” and “all the while, beneath the wild activity of his window, the conductor lay concealed in his bunker behind the sill.” lived a few blocks east on the same street a year before Mingus staged his light show. Closing my eyes, I can see the brownstones opposite, one of which Billie Holiday occupied during the last years of her life. I’m remembering hot summer days when the hydrant on the street below is turned on and kids, black and white, are dancing in and out of the gushing spray of the fountain. As always, my table model stereo is playing. Probably I’m listening to Sonny Rollins or Horace Silver, not Mingus, though he’s is in the house in the form of Mingus Ah Hum and Oh Yeah. The kids are yelling, a siren is wailing over on Central Park West, and the New York Times says this is the most dangerous neighborhood in Manhattan. But think about it, if you were walking toward the river one night a year later and you looked up at just the right moment, you’d see that light show, and even if you didn’t know who was staging it, you’d know in the summer of 1965 that Mingus was everywhere, as he is in mid-May 2016 in Krin Gabbard’s invaluable book. Goodbye Jeff rinceton Record Exchange Manager Jeff Rusnak, a familiar presence to jazz record buyers and vinyl addicts from around the world, died last week. Mingus’s “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” one of the most eloquent memorials ever, was composed for the legendary Lester Young. Among Jeff’s survivors is his cat Fripp, named no doubt for the legendary guitarist/composer/producer and founding member of King Crimson Robert Fripp, who was influenced early on by — Charles Mingus —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Closes Season Continuing Tribute to Creativity of Women

rinceton Symphony Orchestra focused its season this year on the creativity of women, and closed its Classical Series this past weekend with works showing the best of women’s dramatic character and creativity, as well as a bit of femme fatale sauciness. The four works performed Sunday afternoon at Richardson Auditorium were all programmatic–telling stories of love, life and poignant remembrances. The cornerstone of Sunday’s concert was a multi-media orchestral piece by Princeton native Sarah Kirkland Snider, whose Hiraeth took the audience back to a simpler time and place. Sniderís Princeton roots run deep–she dates her “musical awakening” from her days at the American Boychoir’s Camp Albemarle, which she credits with instilling a sense of chamber ensemble and vocal line into her compositional identity. The Welsh word “hiraeth” invokes fierce yearning for homeland and culture, a concept prevalent in Welsh choral music. Snider’s work brought “hiraeth” to her fatherís hometown of Salisbury, North Carolina in a one-movement instrumental piece accompanied by Mark DeChiazza’s film depicting childhood and life in North Carolina (Hiraeth was co-commissioned by the Princeton and North Carolina Symphonies). Hiraeth began with rolling strings to accompany the flowing water onscreen, with rocking thirds as the peaceful music overtook the Orchestra. Conductor Rossen Milanov built intensity well, creating a Tom Sawyer-like atmosphere of a small town with children getting into mischief and exploring the countryside. Snider’s work traveled through several stages, including paying tribute to her father, appreciation for the simpler life, and closing with the realization that life does not always stay so simple. Snider’s orchestration provided similar colors to the 19th-century works heard later on the program, including pairing Julia DeRosa’s English horn with bassoonist Brad Balliett. The piece was very reflective, with repeating motives as the different scenes of the movie portrayed a lifetime. Under Mr. Milanov’s able direction, the work ended on an uplifting note. The Tchaikovsky, Johann Strauss and

Richard Strauss pieces which accompanied Snider’s work celebrated the joy and tragedy of love. Tchaikovsky’s renowned Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture depicted all the complexity of Shakespeareís story, beginning with dark winds and strings. Mr. Milanov brought out a rich sectional cello sound, and built tension well with clarity. Musical shifts among moods and storylines were quick and clean, with the upper winds being especially sharp. The viola “love theme” was rich, and Andre Tarantilesí harp playing was clean, especially in the highest registers. This work alternated between tension and gentleness, with elegance captured well by Ms. DeRosa’s English horn. Mr. Milanov conducted with broad strokes, drawing out the full range of music from delicate to almost grand film music. To close the program Mr. Milanov selected two contrasting Strauss works–a saucy and lighthearted waltz from Johann Strauss and a complex orchestral suite from Richard Strauss. Wine, Women, and Song, Op.333 of Johann Strauss was originally commissioned as a choral piece, and Sunday’s performance was full of typical Viennese buoyancy and grace. By contrast, Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier Suite, Op. 59 captured all the lush and romantic flavors and tunes of the composer’s 1911 opera of the same name. Beginning with clean horns, Princeton Symphony’s performance captured the same dramatic contrasts found in the Tchaikovsky work, as Mr. Milanov maintained a texture which was not at all heavy. Several wind soloists were exceptional, including oboist Nathan Mills, clarinetist Anton Rist, bassoonist Brad Balliett, and Ms. DeRosa. trauss drew upon luxurious melodies for this Suite, accompanied by quirky instrumentation (such as harp and keyboard), reminding the audience that this work dates from the 20th century. Mr. Milanov brought out an elegant Viennese feeling in the orchestral interpretation of the opera’s “Love Duet,” also well captured by Basia Danilow’s violin solo. Throughout the Suite, as with much of the rest of the concert, Mr. Milanov seemed to conduct with a perpetual smile, indicating his satisfaction with a season of classical concerts well presented. —Nancy Plum

All the Days

THEATER REVIEW

Sharyn Rothstein’s World Premiere “All the Days” at McCarter— “Finding a Way to Live With the People Who Drive You Crazy”

ysfunctional families have always provided material for great literature and theater. From the ancient Greeks—Odysseus and the battling family of Olympian gods, the Trojan War, the families of Agamemnon and Oedipus—though the great tragedies may have played out in the global, public sphere, the issues always had their roots in family conflict. From Shakespeare’s squabbling families, sometimes tragic and sometimes comical, all the way down to Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, August Wilson, Sam Shepard and American playwrights up to the present, TV dramas, sit-coms and movies—families never cease to frustrate us, fascinate us, and deliver all manner of suffering and entertainment. All the Days, Sharyn Rothstein’s new play debuting at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre through May 29, successfully mines this vein of comic and dramatic material (“dramedy,” the playwright labels it) with a particular focus on the conflict and connection between an aging Jewish mother and her adult daughter. Set in mother Ruth Zweigman’s Long Island kitchen before moving to her daughter Miranda’s Philadelphia apartment, All the Days offers a collection of stock characters, a barrage of one-liners that could be designed for the laugh track and the kinds of situations in fourteen different scenes that will be familiar to sit-com audiences. As the play continues, however, through its two and a half hours over two acts, it becomes clear that Ms. Rothstein is working with deeper purposes. The comedy never subsides, but the realistic dialogue, the developing characterizations and the emotional intensity of the relationships all combine to create a poignant tale of loss and love, of faith and forgiveness, as All the Days transcends its sit-com-ish trappings. In her mid-thirties and her second season writing for the USA television drama Suits, Ms. Rothstein, also the author of several acclaimed plays, knows her craft. Her seven characters are finely drawn, thoroughly realistic. As their stories, wants and needs emerge, these complex, brave, funny characters take on a rich three-dimensionality and universality in their detailed individuality. “Mothers and daughters, if they can stand it, should see the play together and it will be really meaningful,” Ms. Rothstein stated in an interview on the McCarter website. Whether female or not, Jewish or not, audiences will relate to these thoroughly human characters in both comical and serious moments. Emily Mann, McCarter artistic director and director of this production, has assembled an ideal cast and design team to create the world of the Zweigmans and bring these characters to life on the Berlind stage. This director and her seasoned actors have honed the comic timing to perfection.

The action moves swiftly from scene to scene, and the balance between comic and serious is just right to maximize the humor and the poignancy in these characters and their troubled relationships. The play is long, and, with its numerous scenes and obligatory one-on-one encounters for all of the characters, occasionally seems to lose focus on its central conflict. But these seven complex people are indeed all interesting and worthy of development, and the evening speeds by. Miranda (Stephanie Janssen) is the central character here, but it’s her mother Ruth (Caroline Aaron) who gets the most attention. Outspoken, unfiltered, overbearing and overweight, Ruth, who has diabetes, is recuperating from eye surgery at the start of the play. Miranda, slim, healthy, earnest, a social worker, is visiting in hopes of helping her mother, and the opening scene reveals how difficult that will be for both mother and daughter. Miranda, a single mother, is converting from Judaism to Christianity, though her 13-year-old son Jared (Matthew Kuenne) is preparing for his bar mitzvah. In a moment of weakness, Miranda invites her mother to come visit, and the second scene moves to Miranda’s Philadelphia apartment, where the complications multiply. Complication number one is Stew (Justin Hagan), Miranda’s boyfriend of two years, though still un-

known to Ruth, who combines the best intentions towards Miranda and the rest of the family with an inability to fit in or fully comprehend this alien world of the Zweigmans. He nonetheless takes a liking to Ruth and her acerbic wit and arranges a date for her with a suave, sophisticated, African-American herbalist named Baptiste (Raphael Nash Thompson). Miraculously, the date goes well, despite Ruth’s repeated attempts at self-sabotage. On the following night, by the end of the first of two acts, Ruth’s high-maintenance, materialistic, meddlesome sister Monica (Leslie Ayvazian) arrives. Then, who should appear at the front door but Ruth’s ex-husband Del (Ron Orbach), hoping to reinstate himself in the marriage. The dramatic ingredients are almost complete. Miranda’s relationship with her mother remains the central challenge as past issues emerge and their bitter resentments clash with their intense attachment. Also driving the plot forward are several additional engaging dramatic questions: Miranda’s problematic relationships with her son and with her boyfriend; Ruth’s future with not one but two men, who suddenly enter—in Del’s case re-enter—her life; Del’s plight, as he faces sickness and old age, desperately seeking his family’s acceptance and forgiveness; and Monica, weighing in with her sister’s family, as she delays returning to her own unfaithful

husband at home. Ruth, in conversation with her grandson early in the play, describes the traditional Zweigman family dynamic, which foreshadows the second act scenario at Miranda’s apartment and highlights a certain paradoxical universality. “RUTH: You know it used to be families all lived together. Grandparents, parents, children, aunts, uncles, all on the same block, the same house even. JARED: That sounds claustrophobic. RUTH: It was worse than claustrophobic! Everyone was completely miserable. But at least they were together.” Ms. Aaron’s Ruth is a powerful force on stage from start to finish—very funny, dynamic, larger than life, but completely credible in this infuriatingly lovable character. Ms. Janssen rises convincingly to the challenges of the role of the earnest protagonist, struggling to do the right thing as a daughter, mother and lover. Ms. Ayvazian’s Monica is a tour de force, perhaps only a supporting role here, but clearly a formidable counterpart to her older sister Ruth. The four male characters, though less prominent than the women, are all distinct, memorable individuals. Mr. Orbach presents a sympathetic, wining portrayal of the erring, loving husband facing the final chapter of his life with honesty, remorse, a rich sense of humor and a need to re-connect with his estranged family. Mr. Kuenne is excellent as the independent-minded, outspoken bar mitzvah boy. Mr. Hagan’s Stew and Mr. Thompson’s Baptiste, both outsiders to the strange world of the Zweigman family, provide valuable perspective and a breath or two of fresh air to the proceedings. Both present interesting characters and maintain the fine balance between the comic and the serous in dealing with their own challenges and the difficulties of the protagonists. Daniel Ostling’s thoroughly realistic, detailed set takes the audience rapidly, seamlessly from Ruth’s cramped 1970s style Long Island kitchen to Miranda’s spacious apartment in Philadelphia. Jeff Croiter’s lighting design complements the creation of the world of this family and its dysfunctions, and helps to move the action to additional settings in a restaurant and a hotel bar. Jess Goldstein’s costumes are on target and effective in helping to create these seven delightfully different, idiosyncratic characters. Ms. Rothstein has stated that her play is about “finding a way to live with the people who drive you crazy.” That is certainly the challenge for the characters of All the Days, and it might simply describe the daunting, universal challenge of family MOTHER-DAUGHTER MATTERS: Ruth (Caroline Aaron, left) and her daughter Miranda (Steph- life. Though even at the end of the play the path anie Janssen) are completely bonded, and in conflict on almost every possible issue, in forward for Ms. Rothstein’s anguished characters is Sharyn Rothstein’s world premiere family “dramedy,” All the Days, at McCarter’s Berlind anything but clear, All the Days assures us that love Theatre through May 29.

Striking the Imaginations Of School Children

O n Tu e s day, May 10, at 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1:15 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s ( PSO) BRAVO! education program presented “The Sky is the Limit!”, a concert designed to get the imaginations of over 2,000 area school children soaring with works ranging from Ottorini Respighi’s The Hen, Nikolaï Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee, Daniel Dorff’s Blast Off! and Gustav Holst’s Mars. Music Director Rossen Milanov conducted as he guided the students through the upper stratosphere and beyond. The PSO’s principal trumpet player Jerry Bryant’s fingers flew as he set an unofficial world record performing the Flight of the Bumblebee as student volunteers stood by with stop watches. The excitement continued when Riverside Elementary School’s Paul Chapin, interim principal and veteran teacher of music, surprised his own students when he took the stage to narrate Daniel Dorff’s work, complete with countdown. “Performing Daniel Dorff’s piece in front of students I teach, sitting on the front of the stage with the orchestra behind and seeing the students’ faces light up as they recognize pieces they’ve studied — how exciting and wonderful!” Mr. Dorff attended two of the day’s concerts, giving students the opportunity to put a face to the composer and forge a connection to the performed music. Students from the following schools participated in this year’s concert, singing along to “America the Beautiful”, accompanied by the professional musicians of the PSO: Community Park, Johnson Park, Littlebrook, Riverside, Toll Gate Grammar, Stony Brook, Hopewell

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT: On May 10, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s (PSO) BRAVO! education program presented “The Sky is the Limit!,” a concert designed to get the imaginations of over 2,000 area school children soaring with works ranging from Ottorini Respighi’s “The Hen,” Nikolaï Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee,” Daniel Dorff’s “Blast Off!,” and Gustav Holst’s “Mars.” These works, plus an unofficial world record, a surprise narration from a school teacher, and an unexpected composer’s visit combined for a fun field trip for the orchestra.

a Princeton tradition!

ell (Jordan Peele) was so inconsolable after being dumped by his girlfriend that getting high didn’t help ease the pain. But then, while crying on the shoulder of his cousin Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key), a cute, little kitten appeared on his doorstep. Seeing this as a sign of divine intervention, Rell adopted the adorable stray, which he proceeded to feed, bathe and name Keanu, Hawaiian for “cool breeze.” But after bonding for the next couple of weeks, his newfound state of bliss ended abruptly with the kidnapping of Keanu during a break in by members of the 17th Street Blips. The Blips are a ruthless drug gang from the wrong side of the proverbial tracks. So, Rell realizes that to rescue his pet he’s going to have to venture into the heart of the ghetto. This is a tall order for a nerd from the burbs totally unfamiliar with the ways of the ‘hood. For some reason, he enlists the assistance of his equally-geeky cousin, whose wife (Nia Long) and daughter (Jordyn A. Davis) very conveniently happen to be going away for the weekend. Rell and Clarence adopt gangsta’ alias, Tectonic and Shark Tank, respectively, before confronting Cheddar (Method Man),

the Blips’ bloodthirsty kingpin. They also deliberately abandoned their bourgie black accents for grammar-butchering Ebonics laced with profanity, the N-word and lots of double negatives. Of course, retrieving Keanu proves to be quite complicated, as not only Cheddar but a Latino crime boss (Luis Guzman) has staked a claim to the cat (which he refers to as Iglesias). And it is very important that the cousins never admit their middle-class roots lest they risk being exposed as lacking street cred. Thus unfolds Keanu, a one-trick pony or, should I say, a onetrick kitty directed by Peter Atencio, director of 54 episodes of the Key and Peel TV show. This fish-out-of-water comedy repeatedly relies on the theme that these guys have no idea how to survive in the slums on the run from myriad maladroit morons. That running joke gets tired after about 10 minutes, but the stretcho-matic skit format insists on beating the dead horse for another hour and a half. That’s irritainment! Fair (H). Rated R for violence, sexuality, nudity, drug use, inncessant ethnic slurs and pervasive profanity. Running time: 98 minutes. Distributor: New Line Cinema / Warner Brothers. —Kam Williams

Varied Summer Season At Kelsey Theatre

Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC) Kelsey Theatre will offer something for everyone in its four theatrical offerings this summer. There’s a show for family audiences, one for rock music fans, one for patrons who enjoy classic Broadway musicals, and one for those who just plain love theater and the actors who make it happen. Kelsey Theatre is located on MCCC’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. First up is Willy Wonka, a musical based on the famed Roald Dahl book and made into a popular 1971 film starring Gene Wilder. Presented by The Yardley Players, dates and show times are Fridays, July 1 and 8 at 8 p.m.; Saturdays, July 2 and 9 at 8 p.m.; and Sundays, July 3 and 10 at 2 p.m. Join Charlie Bucket as he visits Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory, accompanied by an enchanting musical score that features songs from the film and new songs by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. Tickets are $20 adults, $18 seniors, and $16 students/children. The Reock and Roll Revue is up next, returning to the Kelsey stage with a brand new rock ’n roll tribute, this time to Jackson Browne, one of the most influential songwriters of the last four decades. The first part of the show will present music and history from Browne’s first four albums and then the group will perform his 1977 fifth album, “Running On Empty,” in its entirety. There are two performances only: Saturday, July 16 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, July 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for all. In mid-summer, theatergoers can take a cruise with Kelsey friends aboard the ocean liner S.S. American when M & M Stage presents “Anything Goes.” Dates and show times for this classic Broadway musical are Fridays, July 29 and August 5 at 8 p.m.; Saturdays, July 30 and August 6 at 8 p.m.; and Sundays, July 31 and August 7 at 2 p.m. The show includes delightful tap numbers, campy jokes, and eminently hummable songs like De-Lovely, I Get a Kick Out of You, and Anything Goes, courtesy of the unforgettable Cole Porter.

Girlchoir Scheduling 2016-17 Auditions

Princeton Girlchoir (PGC) is now accepting audition appointments for the 201617 season. Any girl who will be entering grades 3-12 next fall is warmly welcomed to audition. T h e 2 016 -17 s e a s o n promises to be an exciting one, with concerts planned throughout the East Coast. The per for ming div ision choirs will also embark on a summer concert tour, with the location soon to be announced. Recent tours have taken the choirs to Hawaii, Colorado, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Trinidad in addition to this year’s trip to Ireland. PGC offers a first-class music education to the choristers who participate in all six of their ensembles. Girls who have trained with PGC are regularly accepted into prestigious university music programs across the country. While most of PGC’s alumnae go on to successful careers outside of music, all benefit from the discipline, community, and female empowerment that has been the hallmark of Princeton Girlchoir for 25 years. A strong desire to learn, a musical ear, and an eagerness to share music with others are key to a successful audition. Despite the many musical opportunities PGC offers during the year, the auditions remain lowkey and enjoyable and no advance preparation is required. This year, girls will be asked to sing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” along with some exercises that demonstrate their vocal range, and to complete a few musical challenges to help our music directors understand their current level of musical ability. Auditions for new choristers are scheduled for June 4 and 11 at Princeton Day School, however, PGC will work with families who are unable to attend auditions on that date, to find an alternative arrangement. To schedule an audition and download an application, visit www.princetongilrchoir.org/join. For questions, call the PGC office at (609) 688-1888. ———

She graduated from the Kaliningrad College of Music and Arts in 1988 and she earned a master’s degree from the Belorussian State Academy of Music in Minsk and graduated in 1992. In 1994 she received a postgraduate diploma from the Belorussian State Academy of Music. In 1995 Inessa Gleyzerova was accepted into the postgraduate program at the Hochschule für Musik in Frankfurt, Germany. Upon her arrival in the United States, Gleyzerova par ticipated in a variety of concerts, including the Artist Ascending Series in Memphis. Her public recitals include solo performances in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, as well as chamber music recitals in Merkin Recital Hall. Gleyzerova joined the Westminster Conservatory piano faculty in 1999. In addition she is one of the artistic directors of Music-Fest, a festival featuring performances of gifted young musicians from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Westminster Conservatory at Nassau recitals will resume on September 15. Recitals take place at 12:15 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month, September to May, excluding December.

oval track on 417 acres, with racing four days a week. Since the park originally opened in the 1970s, it has welcomed many world class horses, most notably Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones. Greenwood Gaming and Enter tainment, a British company, purchased the park in 2006, and opened PARX Casino focusing on slot machines, explains Carrie Nork Minelli, director of advertising and public relations. “In 2010, they added live cable gaming, including blackjack, roulette, poker, etc. There is a special poker room near the the race track for serious poker players, and this is very popular. Overall, the slots are the most popular of the gaming choices.” Dazzling Decor Ms. Minelli emphasizes, however, the wide range of choices. Whether one is a high roller or brand new to games of chance, PARX Casino has something for everyone, and it’s all presented with the casino’s unique panache and pizazz. The casino’s dazzling decor, along with its colossal size (with row after row of slots, tables and roulette wheels), is a visual wonder. The bright lights, pulsing beat, and rainbow of colors (including glass mosaic ceiling) create excitement and anticipation. In addition, unlike many other casinos, large glass doors let in light, so night and day are clearly defined. No mystery there!

An important highlight is the casino’s versatility, adds Ms. Minelli. “We have such a variety of amenities — from the race track and the gambling to the many dining choices at all price ranges and live entertainment. While the majority of people who come do like to gamble — we are definitely getting those who used to go to Atlantic City — many others enjoy our other options.

Sparked by Mingo’s Superb Mound Effort, Princeton Baseball Rallies to Win Ivy Series

t wasn’t easy for pitcher Cameron Mingo to reach the penultimate moment of his college career, toeing the rubber for the Princeton University baseball team last Sunday afternoon to start the decisive game of the Ivy League Championship Series. “It was a difficult route to get here,” said senior right-hander Mingo, a 6’4, 180-pound native of Eden Prairie, Minn. “I had bone spurs in my elbow and two surgeries on it before they got it right.” The Princeton squad has been through difficult times as it bounced back from going 7-32 overall and 4-16 in the Ivy season in 2015 to win the Gehrig Division and earn home field advantage for the ILCS with a 13-7 Ivy record. “We have been resilient the whole year, we have had a lot of games where we got down early,” said Mingo. “We have had doubleheaders where we lost the first game and we have tried to come back. We try to play hard and to our ability every single day, no matter what happens the game before.” The team’s resilience was on display on Sunday as it started the day by beating Yale 6-2 to force a decisive game three. “We definitely had a lot of confidence from that game,” said Mingo of the win which saw Princeton junior ace Chad Powers throw seven strong innings and senior third baseman Billy Arendt trigger the offense by going 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles. “We know Chad is probably the Ivy League Pitcher of the Year and when you get four runs for him, you are probably going to win that game. That helped build a lot of momentum going into the final game as well.” As Mingo warmed up for the finale, he focused on keeping his nerves in check.

775 Mt. Lucas Road, Princeton

“I tried to take it like any other game,” recalled Mingo. “I try to be calm and just not think about anything but me and the catcher and I think that is what I did.” After giving up a run in the first inning, Mingo settled down and hurled a career game, shutting Yale out after the first, going all nine innings, giving up eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks. The Tigers, though, were quiet at the plate as they were held scoreless going into the bottom of the ninth. Producing their most amazing show of resilience of the spring, the Tigers pulled out a 2-1 win as they proceeded to score two runs on a hit, a walk, two hit batters and a wild pitch, setting off a wild celebration as fellow students streamed onto the diamond to mob the players. “I am confident that we are going to come through in any situation,” said Mingo, reflecting on the dramatic rally which improved Princeton to 24-18 and clinched its first Ivy crown since 2011. “Once we got a few guys on I had a good feeling that we were going to have a lot of momentum.” In assessing his mound effort, Mingo said he gained more and more confidence as the game unfolded. “I was throwing the ball well and they just hit some good pitches in the first inning,” said Mingo. “I really tried to go in on guys and establish a fastball and I think they were having a little trouble with that.” While Princeton’s remarkable turnaround is a major surprise to some, the players believed all along that they had a good chance for an Ivy crown. “It means a lot, it was our goal from the start of the season,” said Mingo.

“Even though last year was tough, we knew we were going to have a really good team with good pitching, good hitting, and good fielding. It means a lot and embodies our whole season of work.” Mingo’s superb work on Sunday will leave him with an unforgettable memory. “It is really big for me,” said Mingo, who is 6-3 with a 3.81 ERA in 10 appearances this year after making a total of eight appearances over the previous two seasons.

GRAND FEELING: Members of the Princeton University women’s open crew varsity 8 celebrate after they won the grand final at the Ivy League Championships last Sunday on Lake Carnegie. The ninth-ranked Tigers upset No. 1 Brown in the final, clocking a time of 6:28.039 over the 2,000-meter course with the Bears taking second in 6:31.588. Princeton is next in action when it competes at the NCAA Championship at Gold River, Calif. from May 27-29.

Paced By Varsity 8’s Upset of No. 1 Brown, PU Open Crew Wins Ivy Final, Makes NCAAs Although the Princeton University women’s open crew varsity 8 fell to Brown by nearly three seconds in its season-opening regatta in late March, Lori Dauphiny saw the performance as a sign that her top boat had good speed. Head coach Dauphiny’s intuition proved correct as the Tigers beat nine straight foes heading into the Ivy League Championships last weekend. “In the the week before Ivies, I saw a difference in the varsity boat and all the boats,” said Dauphiny, reflecting on her rowers’ progress. “It was just that extra time. We were in reading period so they weren’t in class any more; that might have helped them as well to jell and come together.” While it posed some logistical headaches, it helped Princeton to have the regatta on Lake Carnegie as it was moved from the original site, Mercer Lake, due to the high winds that hit the area on Sunday. “I was happy to have it on Lake Carnegie, it was the first time that I am aware that the women have had Ivies or Eastern Sprints on Lake Carnegie,” said Dauphiny. “There have been many, many historic races on Lake Carnegie, Olympic Trials and the like. It is nice to join that group and have the women’s championship here on our lake. it was a real honor. It is always fun to be on our home course, there is no doubt about it.” Princeton’s top boat had a lot of fun as the ninthranked Tigers avenged its season-opening defeat to upset No. 1 Brown in the grand final, clocking a winning time of 6:28.039 over the 2,000 -meter course with the Bears taking second in 6:31.588. “Our start was good, we eased our bow well out ahead in the high strokes, so we did establish a couple of seats there, which is good,” said Dauphiny, whos e pro g r a m e ar n e d the automatic bid to compete at the 2016 NCA A

Championships in two weeks by virtue of the win and is one of three teams (Brown, California) to have competed in every NCAA Championships since the inaugural regatta in 1997. “It became a battle, we got a slight upper hand off the starting sequence and then we were able to lengthen that a bit in the second 500. We did enough to hold off charges from Brown, they came back twice. Going into the last 500 Brown pushed in again one last time but then we shifted up our sprint. We were in a good position.” Senior leadership from Erin Reelick and Meghan Wheeler on the top boat and Mary Ann McNulty on the second varsity 8 helped the Princeton rowers keep a good frame of mind through t he comp et it ion, wh ich started with heats at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. “Reelick, Wheeler, and McNulty are the tri-captains, the three of them were instrumental in all of this,” said Dauphiny, who got up at 2:30 a.m. on race day. “They have been good leaders on the team; they h ave e x p e r i e n c e. W h at they share with the team was valuable in their performance. None of us have been through this with the changes to early morning. They stayed pretty calm and collected through the changes that were going on.” Dauphiny liked the performance she got from the team collectively. “The varsity 8, 2V8, and the top 4 really stepped up to the plate to assert themselves in that bid for the NCAA,” sad Dauphiny, whose 2V8 and varsity 4 each took second in their grand finals. “It was tremendous. The coaching staff, Steve Coppola and Kate Maxim, did a great job in preparing the athletes and the athletes did a great job of making sure that they were ready. The results of the entire team were impressive and we were absolutely so proud to see what they were able

to do and even those boats that don’t qualify for the national championship are contributors to the success of the program so every kid had a role.” With the NCAA championship regatta slated for May 27-29 in Gild Rover, Calif., Dauphiny k nows that the success last Sunday doesn’t guarantee anything going forward. “I think last weekend was instrumental in our development and growth towards the NCAAs,” said Dauphiny, who guided her top boat to national titles in 2006 and 2011. “Winning against Brown is a good thing but I know Brown well and they tend to respond. I know that in NCAAs, lots of things can change. It is a different dynamic, you don’t know what heat you are going to be in. You don’t know how you are going to proceed through the championships, whether you have to go through reps or not. It is a different animal.” —Bill Alden

With a two-week hiatus from competition coming into the Eastern Sprints last weekend, the Princeton University men’s heavyweight crew was able to fine-tune some things. “We had worked on some really great changes over the couple of weeks that we had since the end of the regular season,” said Princeton head coach Greg Hughes. That work paid dividends as Princeton won the Rowe Cup team points title at the regatta, which took place at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass. “I look at it as a great step forward for the whole team, everybody had their best race of the season up there and that is ultimately the goal and that led to Rowe Cup,” said Hughes. While varsity 8 fell just short of beating top-ranked Yale in its grand final as it clocked a time of 5:39.838 just behind the Bulldogs’ winning time of 5:37.494, Hughes saw a lot of positives in the top boat’s performance. “We had two main fo cuses; No. 1 was to be prepared to execute our race plan very well and then in order to do that, we stayed very internal with our focus because there is a lot going on out there,” said Hughes, noting that the windy conditions on the course posed an additional challenge for the rowers. “It was making sure that we were being offensive with our race plan and not spending the entire race looking around and trying to respond to what everybody else did. I think the guys did a really nice job with that.” Earning a second straight Rowe Cup title after having won it twice before (2001, 2005) was a major focus for Hughes. “It shows us t hat our

goal of developing a strong team and a strong team dynamic is working,” asserted Hughes, whose second varsity 8 took second while the third and fourth varsity 8s each placed first. “It is also rewarding because I think individual boats’ results are always a product of the team environment that you create. So much of the training that we do through the winter, the fall, and early spring, you need to be pushed and challenged. Having strong people around you that are motivated and inspirational has a big impact on each individual’s ability to push and to fight for more.” The Tigers are ready for a big fight as they head into the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta, which is slated for June 3-5 at Mercer Lake in West Windsor. “I think that the racing at the IRA is going to be even tighter and harder fought than at the Sprints,” said Hughes. “You are going to add the west coast crews into the mix; they look ver y

strong as well. I believe the top east coast boats are on par and that is the exciting thing. It could be really fun racing so that is what we are going to get ready for and see if we can have a good run.” Noting that the IRA is a three-day event with multiple heats, Hughes knows his rowers have to be primed to do well over the long haul to have a big run. “It is not the big, emotional event like the Sprints can sometimes be where you have got two races in the span of six hours to come out and have a major effort, retool, and recover and come right back out and you are racing at full tilt,” said Hughes, whose top 8 took third in the IRA grand final last spring. “You need to have the mental endurance and toughness to be ready for each of those events each day and to step through the racing. You need to be ready to step up, it is not just having one good race, you need to have a few. I think that is something we spend a lot of time training and preparing for physically and mentally throughout the year to just get better at having those multi-day performances.” —Bill Alden

Dropping a Second Straight OT Heartbreaker, PU Women’s Lax Edged by UMass in NCAAs It turned into an unfortunate case of deja vu for the Princeton Universit y women’s lacrosse team as it battled the University of Massachusetts in the first round of the NCAA tournament last Friday. A week earlier, the Tigers had fallen behind 3-0 to Cornell in the Ivy League semifinals and battled back to force overtime only to lose 10-9. Facing 12th-ranked UMass in Ithaca, N.Y. in the NCAA contest, the No. 14 Tigers fell behind 4-1 but quickly regrouped to pull ahead 6-5 at halftime. In the second half, Princeton took an 1110 lead with 9:11 left but UMass scored two straight goals to take a 12-11 lead with 14 seconds left. Undaunted, the Tigers kept battling as junior star Olivia Hompe scored a dramatic goal with less that a second left to make it a 1212 game and force overtime. For the second Friday in a row, Princeton fell in overtime as UMass scored with 2:23 left in the second extra session. “It was very, very similar to the Cornell game,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer, whose team ended the season with an 11-6 record. “It was so intense, it was tied or one of us was up one, there were a lot of lead changes. It was a great game. It was everything you would think an NCAA game should be. Unfortunately, we came out the second weekend in a row on the losing end in OT.” While the defeat stung, Sailer had no qualms with the effort she got from her players. “I was really proud of our kids and the way they competed, to dig ourselves out of the hole we were in early and take the lead and just continue to battle and fight,” said Sailer. “ We s howe d s o m u ch heart. We had 11 different goal scorers, which is crazy and eight different assisters. I think the offense really played well and it was very balanced. We put a lot of different kids in; two of the scorers were defenders who came through in transition. It was just a really good day and a really tough, tough loss.” The most memorable goal of the contest for Princeton came when Hompe scored just before the final buzzer. “Nonie Anderson sent a long high pass to Olivia who was able to go up high and corral it right on the crease; she had a defender draped over her and still was able to get the shot off with 0.8 seconds,” recalled Sailer. “That was just such a high point.” In the waning second of the first OT, Hompe got an-

other chance for drama. “Ellie DeGar mo had a great save and Liz Bannantine drew another charge,” said Sailer. “We ended up with the ball and we were running a play that we have run a lot this year for Olivia when she is tightly marked. We got the look we wanted; unfortunately their goalie came up with a great save and then they were able to get the draw in the next overtime period and finish it up.” Although it was a tough finish for the Tigers, Sailer views 2016 as a positive season for her program. “I think it was a good year for us; clearly we came in with higher goals than we were able to achieve but they were really lofty goals,” said Sailer. “Everybody wants to win championships and get to Final 4s. We learned it doesn’t happen easily. We accomplished a lot this year, we had a good season. We faced a lot of adversity, we had a lot of injuries. I think on the balance of it, any time you can win an Ivy championship, even in this case a cochampionship (with Penn), that is a good year. That is what we measure ourselves, first and foremost and to get back to the NCAAs. For

our seniors, they have now been to four NCAA tournaments.” Those seniors have given the Tigers a lot over the years in terms of production and leadership. “They have had a really big impact; your seniors are always the kids who drive the bus on the team,” said Sailer of her senior class that included Anna Menke, Stephanie Paloscio, Anya Gersoff, and Maddy Lynch in addition to Bannantine. “They really developed into good leaders this year. LB (Bannantine) has been a phenomenal captain the last two years but the whole class really grew over their time as players. LB is the only one in that class who started as a freshman and we ended up with four starters. All five of them had their best years as seniors, which is what you hope for in a senior class.” Sailer has high hopes heading into next season as she welcomes back a number of stars, led by junior standouts Hompe and DeGarmo. “That junior class is the core of the team,” said Sailer. “You have got rock solid kids there; you have good kids across the board in every position in that class. Next year, they will be very driven and I am sure it will be another exciting year.” —Bill Alden

PU Alums Thompson, Marsh Get PVC Citizen, Bressler Honors

Noted Princeton University alums John Thompson III and Clayton Marsh were recently named to receive major honors later t h is month at the Gary Walters ’67 Princeton Varsity Club (PVC) Awards Banquet. Thompson, the head men’s basketball coach at Georgetown, will be given the Class of 1967 Citizen Athlete Award, presented by the Princeton Varsity Club for selfless and noble contributions to sport and society.

support of the University’s student-athletes and coaches, best embodies a belief in the lifelong lessons taught by competition and athletics as a complement to the overall educational mission. Dr. Bressler, by the way, was extremely close with John Thompson III during JT3’s time at Princeton. Marsh returned to Princeton in 2002 in the role of university counsel prior to becoming the deputy dean of t he college in 2011. Marsh held that post until 2016 when he left to become the founding head of a new independent school in Bentonville, Arkansas. While at Princeton, Marsh impacted countless studentathletes through his steadfast dedication to shaping the academic journey of undergraduates, including supervisory responsibilities for the freshman seminar prog ram, t he P r inceton Writing Program, the Program in Teacher Preparation, the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning and the Community-Based Learning Initiative. He also served as the University’s faculty athletics representative to the NCAA and as an Academic-Athletic fellow to the wrestling team.

PDS Boys’ Lax Rolls to 1st MCT Championship, Aims to End Special Spring With Prep B Crown In the view of Joey Levine, reading the backs of the tshirts worn by the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team is all one needs to do in order to understand how the squad rolled to its firstever Mercer County Tournament title. “I think this is one of the tightest knit groups I have ever been a part of; it says it on the back of our shirts, together,” said senior attackman Levine, after top-seeded PDS routed third-seeded Robbinsville 17- 8 in the MCT title game last Thursday night at WW/P-N. “We played in our system, no one was selfish tonight and that really paid off for us. You saw that in the beginning with the ball movement.” The Panthers reeled off four unanswered goals in the first five minutes of the championship game and were up 10-3 at halftime. “I think coming into this one we were ready to come out firing,” said Levine, reflecting on the team’s early run which saw him score three goals. “We had a lot of emotion. We have never won the MCT.” While Levine was proud of his performance, he credited his teammates with setting him up around goal. “I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of having six guys on the field offensively

who can all handle their own with multi-digit numbers for us,” said Levine, who ended up with four goals and an assist in the win. “There is no one star, we have multiple stars and they are facilitators. Playing on that kind of an offense is a dream come true for me. It is really special.” Win n ing t he t it le was a dream come true for a PDS squad that fell 9-7 to Hopewell Valley in the 2015 MCT final. “We were here last year and we came away with a tight loss and that was definitely disappointing,” said Levine. “So to come away with a win now is so special in my senior year. It is the last time we get to do this and to come away with a big win is just unbelievable for me and something I will never forget.” Levine will also never forget the bonds he has formed with his teammates. “We do ever y thing to gether,” added Levine. “I am playing on a team with all of my best friends. It is really unbelievable and it is not just us, it is our parents too. We treat each other like brothers, I have another 20 something brothers on the team. That definitely makes it special and on top of that, it is our work ethic. We come out every day ready to work

PANTHER PRIDE: Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse player Joey Levine enjoys the moment after top-seeded PDS defeated Robbinsville 17-8 in the Mercer County Tournament championship game last Thursday at WW/P-N. Senior star Levine scored four goals to help the Panthers earn the program’s first-ever county crown. PDS improved to 14-1 with a 15-3 win over Morristown-Beard last Monday in the state Prep B semis, and will go for a second title when it hosts Montclair Kimberley in the championship game on May 18.

hard, no one is pushing us but ourselves. We are pushing each other and if we see someone who is not working hard, we are going to get on them about it but in a positive way.” PDS head coach R ich D’Andrea has been pushing his squad toward the postseason since the beginning of the spring. “We have put an emphasis on the end of the year and so we have had some big games during the course of the year,” said D’Andrea, whose team topped Morristown-Beard 15-3 in the state Prep B semis last Monday to improve to 14-1 and will host Montclair Kimberley in the final on May 18. “This has been the target the whole time, the Mercer County and the Prep Bs. We have some work to do on the other end of this but for these guys to come in here and play against the competition we played against and to pull it out, that is special.” Like L ev ine, D’A ndrea sees the Panthers as exuding a special togetherness. “I don’t know if I have ever coached a group of kids that has each other’s backs better than these guys have,” said D’Andrea. “They really treat each other like brothers and I think for any successful program that what you need is for everyone to go to bat for one another.” That unity was evident in PDS’s balanced attack in the win over Robbinsville as senior star Fletcher had three goals and four assists with classmate Jonah Tuckman chipping in five goals and an assist, freshman Coby Auslander contributing a goal and three assists, junior Will Brossman firing in two goals and sophomore Elon Tuckman adding two goals and an assist. “It was really unselfish play today,” said D’Andrea. “Joey has a nose for space and he has a way of finding the seams in the defense. Connor is the guy we have run at mid and you look at the frame of that guy, 6’4, 200 and whatever pounds, he is a force. He commands a lot of respect on the field.” The Panther defense commanded its end of the field. “I have coached with Rob Tuckman my entire time at PDS and he does a great job with the defense,” said D’Andrea. “They know how to pressure hands, he always knows the personnel going into these games so these guys were well scouted going into tonight and that was the game plan.” Levine, for his part, believes that PDS has a great chance to earn a second title when they battle MKA on Wednesday, seeing no letdown from the MCT run. “We have had some big wins, especially earlier in the season,” said Levine. “That has definitely given us experience with just keeping it all on the field and continuing to work, playing our game, and playing within the systems. We’ll be fine.” —Bill Alden

Senior Standout Tuckman Came Up Big in MCT Semis As PDS Boys’ Lax Edged HoVal in County Title Run Playing at nemesis Hopewell Valley in the Mercer Cou nt y Tour nament semifinals last week, the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team misfired in the early going. Having lost to HoVal in the MCT finals last year, first-seeded PDS found itself knotted in a scoreless tie with the fifth-seeded Bulldogs early in the second quarter of the May 10 contest. “We prepared a lot coming into this game and I guess the jitters kind of just hit in under the lights at Hopewell,” said PDS senior star and co-captain Jonah Tuckman. “It took us a while for things to hit in.” Early in the second quarter, Tuckman hit the back of the net for the first goal of the contest as he fired in a feed from classmate and cocaptain Connor Fletcher. “Fletch went to goal and fed me,” recalled Tuckman. “We scouted Lyle ( Healey) well, we knew what to do. We have been playing against him for four years. I saw him go low and I just put it in the goal.” About five minutes later, Tuckman added another goal as PDS took a 2-0 lead at halftime. “I think that it was definitely big for us,” said Tuckman, reflecting on getting the second goal. “We have been a huge defensive team all year. We knew our defense was going to stick in there.” HoVal stuck to its guns, tying the game at 3-3 with 7:46 left in the fourth quarter. But PDS survived the challenge as Fletcher scored on a one-man drive to the goal with 6:25 left in regulation and the Panthers prevailed 4-3. “We knew they were going to make a run, we said it in the huddle, there is no shock that they are not going to let us win this game and go on the finals,” said Tuckman, who ended up with two goals and an assist on the evening. “I think we were emotionally ready for it and we did well. Connor made a great play and I think we all just played together. We have been preaching that for the past two years, when everyone is playing together you can’t be beat.” Overcoming HoVal was a major confidence builder for PDS, which went on to roll to a 17-8 win over third-seeded Robbinsville in the MCT title

game two nights later. “It w as h u g e to b e at Hopewell; we know a lot of these guys, we have been playing together for a while and ever since last year we have had this circled on our schedule,” said the Vassarbound Tuckman, who scored five goals in the final, including the 100th of his career. “We were getting updates about t heir quar ter f inal game against Notre Dame and when we saw that they had won, we were excited. There was a sense of excitement and right after that it was preparation.” In ref lecting on Tuckman’s impact after the title game, PDS head coach Rich D’Andrea credits him with keeping things together in the big moments. “These boys are lucky to have had Jonah as a senior captain and a senior leader,” said D’Andrea, whose team, now 14-1, will go for a second title this spring when it hosts the state Prep B finals

on May 18 against Montclair Kimberley. “You talk about having a big game in a big spot. Jonah is one of those guys you would expect that from at this point because he is the kid that he is.” For Tuckman, being one of the guys on the squad is the most meaningful thing to him. “This is the closest team I have ever played with,” asserted Tuckman. “When we were down in Florida for preseason, we did a really great program called HoganLax and coach Cottle (former Maryland head coach Dave Cottle) came up to us after and he said ‘you guys have a ton of talented players but I have never seen a team this close before.’ He picked out Coby Auslander, a freshman on our team, and how we were picking him up the whole week. He said he has never seen a team do that, a freshman walking out with seniors off the bus and just a team that was just this closeknit. I think that is really the strongest suit.” —Bill Alden

Late in the second half of the state Prep B girls’ lacrosse championship game last Monday, Princeton Day School junior star Morgan Mills lay prone on the turf, gasping for air. With the help of PDS head coach Jill Thomas and training staff, Mills bounced back to her feet and headed to the sidelines and the scare ended with smiles from her teammates. By that time, top-seeded PDS had applied the knockout blow to second seeded Pennington, pulling away to an 18-11 triumph and its second straight Prep B crown. Coming into the contest, which was a rematch of last year’s title game, Mills was expecting a battle for the Red Raiders. “Pennington is a competitive, good, scrappy team so we knew they were going to to come out and be aggressive,” said Mills. “We didn’t expect anything less.” It was PDS, though, that produced an opening flurry, racing out to an 11-4 lead. “We knew that the key to success was just getting out early and having faith that our teammates were going to be there,” said midfielder/ attacker Mills.

“Our big mantra for the game was to not force things and maintain a relaxed, composed state the whole time.” Mills got into the flow of things, scoring three goals in the first half and ending the afternoon with a total of four. “I was face-guarded for a little bit in the earlier part of the game so that was a little frustrating to begin with but I was able to work with my teammates,” said Mills, who is heading to another great team as she has committed to attend Princeton University and play for its women’s lacrosse program. “They were fantastic at setting picks and even if the scoring opportunities weren’t there immediately for me, I knew if we just kept looking for each other and facilitating different cuts, it would go OK.” In Mills’ view, the squad’s unity on and off the field has paved the way to its back-toback titles. “I think the thing that sets our team apart from the others is that we really emphasize teamwork and togetherness,” said Mills. “We have this cohesive quality. We spend a lot of time working on team bond-

ing. We have our Florida trip in the beginning of the year and that is definitely a great solidifying feature, helping ensure that we trust one another and our coaches.” PDS head coach Jill Thomas trusted that her team could execute its game plan at both ends of the field against Pennington. “We wanted to attack and go with it and not settle,” said Thomas. “They have great players. We knew if we could limit No. 1 (Christine Carugati) and No. 28 (Morgan Pinado) and play team defense on everybody else and take care of the ball and not force it, that would be big. Our big line to the girls was don’t force it; they were beautiful goals to open it up. We passed the ball when we should have passed the ball and took care of it when we should have.” Thomas credited junior Hannah Bunce and Mills with being key catalysts for the Panthers. “Hannah took it to another level today; we tell them all the time the draw possession leads to so many good things,” said Thomas of Bunce who had six goals and four assists in the win over Pennington with sophomore Madison Mundenar adding three goals and an assist, sophomore Kyra Hall chipping in two goals and two assists, and sophomore Kate Bennett contributing a goal and three assists. “She just got it and got untracked down here oneon-one to goal. We knew if we could spread it, we would have a one-versus-one and Hannah’s one-versus-one was on today. I don’t know how many times I have said it this year to Morgan, ‘Millsy, put it where we can play it.’” For Thomas, it was was a very good thing to see PDS raise the level of its game to earn a second straight Prep B crown. “We knew it would be harder to repeat; I am really, really proud of the girls,” said Thomas, whose team finished the season at 13-5. “They are one year older, they are more experienced. They could have let it go. T hey could have got ten sloppy and cocky but they just kept getting better.” Mills, for her part, believes that the versatility on attack makes the Panthers hard to beat. “We are a pretty multi-faceted team,” said Mills. “So you look down the field and if Madison Mundenar is being face-guarded or Hannah Bunce is being face-guarded one game, it doesn’t matter because we have so many people that are willing to help them get open or make the play happen.” —Bill Alden

After Advancing to MCT Quarterfinals; PHS Softball Sharpening Up for States A f ter split ting its t wo regular season games with W W/ P- S, t he P r inceton High sof tball team took care of business in style in the rubber match as the foes met in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament. Eighth-seeded PHS rolled to a 6-0 win over the No. 9 Pirates as junior Kayla Volante starred with her arm and bat, pitching a six-hit shutout and going 1-for-3 at the plate with a run and an RBI. “They are a good hitting team and we knew that coming in and it was up to Kayla to be on,” said PHS head

coach Dave Boehm, who got a big game from junior shortstop Nancy Gray in the win as she went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI. “She had a really good game and our defense played pretty well too. I was very happy with that. It probably was one of the best games that we have played. A day later in the MCT quarterfinals, PHS produced one of its best efforts of the season as it nearly toppled top-seeded Ewing, falling 4-3 in 10 innings. “We played a good game,” said Boehm. “They were the No. 1 seed and we were the 8th seed. Coming in,

everyone is looking for them to pounce all over us. It was one of those things where we gambled in the first inning, trying to score a girl on a base hit against a girl with probably one of the best arms in the league … Sarah Bystrycki. She came up, double-pumped and we got the run so we got a 1-0 lead. It was one of those things where we figured we will try some gambles and we did.” Once again, Volante sparkled in the circle, going the distance, giving up just three hits and coming up with four strikeouts. “Kayla has been a workhorse,” said Boehm. “She has done a great job this year. She hits her spots, she has good movement, she works inside, outside, up, and down. It is not an easy thing for girls to get acclimated to. She does a good job. I am really proud of her this year.” The team’s seniors, Kelli Swedish, Stephanie Wu, Natalie Campisi, and Emily DiLella, are doing a very good job as they head down the homestretch of their time with the program. “Swedish hit a home run in the win over Trenton (132 on May 12) and Natalie has hit the ball really well,” added Boehm. “Emily DiLella has come through as a captain. She has been the most vocal and upbeat on the bench, trying to get them into it. Kelli has done that too.” With PHS taking part in the state tournament later this month, it will get a chance to sharpen up over the next week as it faces a formidable slate of games. “We have Notre Dame, Steinert (on May 17), Robbinsville (May 19), Allentown (May 20), and Hightstown (May 21), every team has 10 or more wins, every team has about the same pitching,” said Boehm, whose team fell 6-2 to Notre Dame last Monday to move to 9-9. “If we are ever going to get ready for a state playoff game, this could be the week to tell us how we are going to do. They know they have tough games all week. I think we will be ready for it; we haven’t been blown out of games this year.” —Bill Alden

Wrapping Up Stellar Career for Hun Boys’ Lax, Black Primed for Big Inter-Ac Challenge Run Owen Black has devoted more than a third of his life to playing lacrosse at the Hun School. Starring as a Hun middle school player for three years, Black moved up to varsity in 2013 and immediately made an impact for the Raiders. Over the next four years, the flashy midfielder has helped Hun win the state 2015 Prep A title and advance to the Inter-Ac Challenge title game last year as it ended up ranked in the top 10 nationally. Last Saturday, when Black was honored with his fellow classmates on the program’s Senior Day before Hun hosted the Mercersburg Academy (Pa.), he had decidedly mixed emotions. “It is bittersweet knowing that a lot of us are moving on to the next chapter of our lacrosse careers and our lives here at Hun,” said Black, who is headed to Villanova where he will be playing for its men’s lax program along with older brother, Brendan, a former Hun star. “It has been a great seven years here. I love playing with these guys and I hope we can pas s somet h ing down to these young guys and instill the same sense of character that the older guys instilled in us when we were younger.” For Black, the program’s

rise to national prominence is something he will always remember. “Looking back it is just amazing to see where we started and where we have ended up as one of the better programs around,” said Black. “Coming from humble beginnings, appreciating every single win, and just what we have done.” After the pregame ceremony, Black scored three goals to help Hun cruise to a 16-4 win over Mercersburg as it clinched a second straight Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title in the process. “We started off a little slow but once we got going everyone was moving the ball well and we got our feet moving,” said Black. “We played a pretty good game there towards the end. It is a good way to go out. It was nice to have some success late in the season on our home field in front of our fans on Senior Day.” Hun felt very good about defending its league title. “Winning the MAPL means a lot,” said Black. “We did it last year but we fell short in the states this year (losing 13-6 to Lawrenceville in the Prep A final on May 9). It is nice to have that MAPL win and getting towards the Inter-Ac

Challenge. It was good to just get some things out of our system and work on our newer plays and newer aspects of the game and be able to take them into the Inter-Ac.” It has been nice for Black to develop a connection with post-graduate teammate Luke Prybylski, who will be also be playing at Villanova. “Playing with Luke this year has been awesome,” said Black of Pr ybylski, who had two goals and six assists in the win over Mercersburg. “I am definitely looking forward to going into the next four years with him. I am happy he came this year so we could form that bond and relationship early and be able to use that for our next four years together.” Hun head coach MV Whitlow has enjoyed his four years with the Hun seniors. “This is a group of seniors that I came in with; they were freshmen in my first year with the program,” said Whitlow. “Owen, Chris Andrews, and Pat Brake, guys that had been with Hun as lifers. It is a special day to honor them and their parents.” As expected, the Hun seniors stepped up on their day. “Luke Prybylski having six assists was big for us and the play of Owen Black; he is always our leader,” added Whitlow, whose group of seniors also included Michael Farnish, Matt Schleicher, Kyle Horihan, Alex Semler, Charles Nestlerode, James Campbell, and Jon Levine. “The senior leaders were the leaders.” Whitlow liked the quality of play he got across the board in the win over Mercersburg. “They played well as a team, they were sharing the ball well as a team,” said Whitlow. “Everybody was looking for each other, looking for assists, and looking to move the ball.” Building on its MAPL title, Hun will be looking to make another run in the Inter-Ac Challenge. “It is always an honor to win the MAPL regular season championship,” said Whitlow, whose team defeated the Shipley School (Pa.) 14-8 in the opening round of the Inter-Ac last Monday to move to 11-6 and will now face Lawrenceville in the quarterfinals on May 18 in Conshohocken, Pa. “Now we enter into the Inter-Ac tournament and hopefully put our best foot forward there at the end of the season. There is great competition in that tournament and we have got to take one game at a time. We have to play a very high level of high school lacrosse, winning face-offs, taking care of possession, and playing team defense.” Black, for his part, believes that Hun’s success in 2015 at the competition should give it confidence. “I think last year’s run helps to encourage this year’s team to try to do the same, if not better,” said Black, who tallied four goals in the win over Shipley. “We can use last year to fuel what we are about to go into this year and maybe being able to play Lawrenceville another time.” —Bill Alden

Atlantic and Pacific theatres of the war. He married Mar y Constance Bordman, Concord, Massachusetts in 1950. With Mary, Towney developed a passion for hor ticulture. They settled in Neshanic, New Jersey, starting with a small sheep farm and rare plant nursery where they raised four children. In 1965 they founded A mbleside Gardens & Nursery, in Belle Mead, New Jersey, which, to this day, is one of New Jersey’s most unique garden centers, specializing in dwarf evergreens, Japanese maples, and other uncommon plants. Ambleside won the Governor’s Trophy for the best garden at the New Jersey Flower Show in each of the six years in which it exhibited. Towney and Mary retired to Vermont in 2013. Their son, David, continues to own and manage Ambleside Gardens. Tow ney is sur v ived by Mary, his wife of 65 years and now living in Middlebury, Vermont; a brother, Thayer Scudder of Altadena, California; and his children: John Scudder of Freehold, New Jersey; David Scudder and his wife Robin of East Millstone, New Jersey; Holly Scudder-Chase and her husband Keith of Richmond, Vermont; and Hal Scudder and his wife Carol of Park City, Utah. He is also survived by six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in his name to the New Jersey Nursery and Landscape Association — www.njnla.com. ———

THE PARENT TRAP: SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR PARENTS HOUSE-HUNTING? Buying a home is a major decision - for many people, it's the biggest purchase they'll make. So it's only natural to want to have plenty of input when making a buying decision. For many singles and couples, asking parents to tag along during the home search process seems to make a lot of sense. But while having parental input can be valuable for some buyers, there are a couple of reasons whey it isn't always a good idea to have your parents join in on the house hunt.

AL T RE OO AD L Y R ATE EN TE D!

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2016 • 38

to place an order:

First, your parents come from a different era where certain features might not be of such importance to them and their lives. That means they'll be looking at the home through a different lens which can wind up influencing you away from features you truly like. Second, it can be surprisingly hard to reject your parents' choices and opinions, especially considering the home-buying process can be stressful to begin with. Finally, relying too much on your parents' input can leave you feeling like you're living in their home instead of one you've chosen. Bottom line: Be sure you feel comfortable "overruling" your parents opinions so you feel 100% comfortable in your decision; otherwise, leave them at home.
