DACA Remains For Now; DREAMers Look For Permanent Resolution

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program remains alive after last week’s ruling by a federal judge that deportation protections for nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants, DREAMers brought to this country as children, must stay in place and the government must resume accepting new applications and issuing renewals. The April 24 ruling by U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia John D. Bates declared that the federal government’s decision to rescind the DACA program was “unlawful” and based on “virtually unexplained” grounds, but gave the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which administers the program, 90 days to provide a valid rationale for ending the program or win an appeal of the court’s ruling. The ruling in response to a lawsuit Continued on Page 12

Howard Joins National Gun Violence Consortium In the absence of action from Washington, seven governors have created a consortium of leaders and scholars, launching an “unprecedented” effort to study gun violence as a public health issue. Princeton Council member Heather Howard, health policy expert and lecturer in public affairs at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, is one of a distinguished array of 34 scholars appointed to the consortium that will be pursuing the research agenda, “taking the best ideas from across the region” with a goal of “informing the policy agenda,” according to Howard. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and the governors of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Puerto Rico have enlisted the 34 to undertake “significant new research on all manners of gun violence, data collection, and analysis across multiple disciplines,” providing the public “with new information to ultimately reduce the scourge of gun violence,” according to last week’s an-

nouncement from Murphy’s office. “We’re losing young people across our state to the senseless epidemic of gun violence as Congress sits idly by on this issue,” Murphy said. “Those of us at the state and local level are taking matters into our own hands to curb violence in our communities. That’s why I’m proud to join my fellow governors in creating the nation’s first regional gun violence research consortium.” Murphy noted that 80 percent of New Jersey gun crimes are committed with a gun trafficked across state borders from outside the state. The announcement emphasizes the importance of filling the gap created by lack of research on gun violence on the federal level. “This groundbreaking consortium fills the void left by the federal government’s 1996 ban on the use of federal funds to study gun violence,” the announcement continued, “which has obstructed research efforts across the nation, includ-

ing at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.” Howard, one of five New Jersey researchers in the consortium, expressed her excitement at the prospect of working with the nation’s first Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium. “This is really unprecedented,” she said. “We’ve never gotten these governors together, sharing data, and now creating a Continued on Page 12

A Finalist in Bloomberg Challenge, Princeton Tackles Food Waste

When it comes to using public funds for experimental projects, small cities like Princeton tend to play it safe. So testing out an ambitious idea for radically decreasing the town’s carbon footprint, through reducing and recycling food waste, would likely remain just that — an idea. Continued on Page 10

hospitals nationwide. Generally, only about one-third of those hospitals earn As. The Leapfrog Group’s peer-reviewed rating system factors in 27 separate performance measures from three sources: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); the voluntary annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey; and patient experience surveys known as HCAHPS — or Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems. “It takes a total team effort to earn an A,” said Barry S. Rabner, president and CEO of Penn Medicine Princeton Health, a comprehensive health care system that includes PMC. “At Princeton Health, we are dedicated to exceptional performance in

safety, so we are pleased and proud to have received this high level of recognition from The Leapfrog Group.” In addition to its A grade from The Leapfrog Group, PMC is recognized as a Best Regional Hospital in central New Jersey by U.S. News & World Report, ranking as the No. 8 hospital in New Jersey and No. 17 in the entire New York metropolitan region in the magazine’s 2017-18 hospital ratings. PMC also has achieved Magnet ® status, the highest institutional recognition available for nursing excellence.

Lewis, Plainsboro Mayor Peter Cantu, program participants Emma and Erin Legacki, and Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. A major donation by the family of Margaret Anne Wilby on April 26, 2018, a decade after her death, makes the house a permanent home for the organization.

Providing a Permanent Home Base For Grieving Kids and Families For children devastated by the death of a parent or sibling, Good Grief Princeton has provided comfort and support services since 2012. By 2015, the program had outgrown its rented space at Trinity Church and settled in to more spacious facilities at 5 Mapleton Road.

Thanks to a major gift from a former client, that home is now permanent. On April 26 — exactly 10 years after Margaret Anne Wilby died suddenly, leaving her husband Pete Wilby and five children aged 4 to 27 — the family has given back to the organization that helped them grieve. The building is now known as the Margaret Anne Wilby Center.

they would be the ones that would almost have to take care of the adult. It made me realize we don’t have a vocabulary for grief. Because it is an uncomfortable conversation, but it happens every day. Even with 3-year-olds.” Programs at Good Grief helped the boys, and their mother, cope. “It gave the boys a vocabulary and a com for t,” B er ma n s a id. “And it gave them validation for speaking about their father. When they were in kindergarten, the teachers were so thoughtful when it came to Father’s Day. They said, ‘We’d be happy to change the wording to make it for grandfathers, so they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.’ But the boys said, ‘No, we’re going to make a gift for daddy.’ And I thought, this was the turning point. We’re okay. They felt comfortable enough to bring up and acknowledge their dad. It really was a focus on the memories and a way for them to honor their father. Good Grief has been fantastic in finding ways, at every developmental level of a child, to give them the tools to express their grief and talk about it.” When families enroll at Good Grief, they provide the names of teachers, coaches, and others involved with the children’s lives. “We stay in touch with them so they are equipped to suppor t the grieving kids, because the risk factors for grieving kids are extraordinary,” said Primo. “We also do education and advocacy, and we have a curriculum for schools.” Primo, a past president of the National Alliance for Grieving Children, thinks of Good Grief as “a serious disrupter,” he said. “But I’m not sure that the Princeton community actually knows the gem that is in their backyard. This is actually a place of hope and a place of joy. It’s for families who want to feel better and feel normal.” —Anne Levin

Princeton Public Schools Set to Renew Send-Receive Agreement With Cranbury Princeton Public Schools (PPS) is scheduled to decide this month, most likely at their May 8 Board of Education (BOE) meeting, on an arrangement for Cranbury students to continue to attend Princeton High School (PHS). With concerns about overcrowding, a tight budget, and a facilities referendum coming up in October, some local residents, including several writers of letters to Town Topics, are worried about tax increases and have suggested that extending the agreement with Cranbury is not in the best financial interests of the district. PPS officials claim otherwise. “The Board of Education has looked thoughtfully and objectively at our send-receive relationship with Cranbury,” wrote PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane in a statement Monday. “It has reviewed in public session the legal, demographic, and economic implications of that relationship. It has also listened carefully to the comments and questions

from members of the public. The goal of the Board is to make the very best decision for our students and our community.” The Princeton-Cranbury sending-receiving partnership started in 1991, and last year Cranbury, which does not have a high school, paid $4,813,480 to send 280 students to PHS, according to a “PrincetonCranbury Partnership Fact Sheet” on the PPS website. “It is impor tant to understand that, contrary to some assertions, Princeton taxpayers do not subsidize Cranbury students,” wrote PPS Board President Patrick Sullivan and Board Member Gregory Stankiewicz in a statement speaking as private citizens last fall. “The tuition from Cranbury provides a crucial stream of revenue to the Princeton Public Schools.” The tuition paid by Cranbury, $17,191 per pupil, is expected to be the second largest source of revenue for the district’s operating budget. Cranbury also pays all transportation costs for its students, as well as out-ofdistrict placement costs of all Cranbury students. “The Board will review that agreement again during its meeting in May,” Cochrane said, “but I am hopeful the community can come together around the substantial educational and economic benefits of our longtime relationship with our Cranbury students and families.”

He also cited demographic and economic arguments for renewing the agreement, noting that the demographic data indicates “that an expansion of the high school would be necessary even without our students from Cranbury. The number of students from Princeton continues to rise while the numbers from Cranbury are actually in decline. “Moreover, I believe it is evident that our agreement with Cranbury provides a significant economic benefit to the Princeton Public Schools, adding nearly $5 million each year to our operating budget. Much of that revenue, conservatively $3 million each year, supports the indirect costs of running the high school — costs which would remain the same with or without the Cranbury students. Those indirect costs might include, for example, salaries for administrators, secretaries, counselors, and coaches, as well as costs for utilities, maintenance, and cleaning of the building.” The facilities bond referendum coming up in October has catalyzed some of the controversy over the Princeton-Cranbury partnership. Public schools are not allowed to contribute to the capital improvements of another school, which belongs only to the district where the improvement is made, but the interest due on capital bonds from a referendum is included in the calculation of tuition. This

GRATEFUL TO GRANDPALS: The Princeton Senior Resource Center recently thanked volunteers for GrandPals, who read to Princeton school children, with a luncheon and donation of books to libraries at Community Park, Johnson Park, Riverside, and Littlebrook elementary schools. Librarians (from left) Theresa Cross (Littlebrook), Liz Lien (Riverside), Dawn Henderson (Johnson Park), and Bevan Jones (Community Park) were pleased take books back to their students. means that any interest on improvements made at PHS through a referendum will be factored into tuition calculations for Cranbury students. For m e r S ch o ol B o a r d member Todd Tieger, in an April 18 Town Topics letter, suggested that pressure be applied to persuade Cranbury to make a goodwill contribution to PPS‘s capital budgetary needs, and Jian Chen, in an April 4 letter to the editor, argued that terminating the agreement with Cranbury would save money by at least postponing the need for a referendum. Chen stated, “The district owes residents a detailed explanation as to why extending this agreement is still in our best interest.”

Cochrane concluded his May 1 statement on the Cranbury partnership with an emphasis on the statistics and the intangibles that go beyond the statistics. “The numbers add up for continuing our agreement with Cranbury. As always, numbers tell a story, and it’s impor tant this stor y

goes beyond the economic benefits to the Princeton Public Schools and includes as well the continuing academic, extracurricular, and social contributions of our Cranbury students and the positive partnership with the Cranbury community.” —Donald Gilpin

Bloomberg Challenge continued from page one

But thanks to a $100,000 infusion from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge, Princeton is being encouraged to pursue such a plan. In February, the town was among 35 cities to be selected from 350 applicants across the nation as a finalist in the annual competition, which will culminate in a grand prize of $5 million for the winning city, and $1 million each for five runnersup. Final applications will be submitted in August. The goal of the competition is to encourage bold thinking on how to confront tough, urban problems. Princeton was among the smallest locales to be named a finalist, or “champion city.” The list also includes Philadelphia,

Miami, Boston, and Pittsburgh as well as smaller urban areas such as Cheyenne, Wyoming and Moreno Valley, California. Cities must have a population of at least 30,000 residents to apply. Princeton has approximately 31,000. “It’s tremendous for the town,” said Mayor Liz Lempert, who is part of a team involved in a six-month testing phase of the original idea for diverting food waste from the landfill. “We were the only town in New Jersey to get in. I got a text from Gov. Murphy saying he was excited, and offering his encouragement and support.” Partners in preparing the final application include project manager Matt Wasserman, former head of the Princeton Environmental Commission; project coordinator Judith Robinson,

co-founder of the Princeton Farmers Market; Sustainable Princeton; Bob Hough, Princeton’s director of infrastructure and operations; Jeffrey Grosser, the town’s health officer; Princeton University; the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative; and the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey. “One thing we know, that we were told from the beginning, is that if your final application looks like your original application, you definitely won’t win,” said Wasserman. “A big part of this process is learning how you have to pivot to make your application stronger.” Along with the $100,000 comes two coaches, one of whom specializes in “design thinking,” a process of creative problem solving. The other is focused on delivery

of the idea — how to take it to actual implementation. Princeton’s plan takes a cue from the existing Curbside Organic program, which collects and composts food and organic waste from residents, diverting it from the landfill. While the seven-year-old program is a start, “it doesn’t quite make the whole loop,” said Lempert. The proposed plan would look into the feasibility of installing a local food digester to turn the waste into compost for local farms, which would keep organics from landfills and help reduce emissions of methane gas. “This is a a circular model, a reinvigorating circle, that can work for food waste,” said Robinson. “It’s something that needs to be looked at, and this is a great opportunity for that. Experimentation is so important.”

The team is studying past users of the Curbside Organic program, and 50 new users. Different technologies are being explored with the help of Princeton University. “We’ll be looking at technologies for what happens once it goes in the bucket, how clean we can get the stream that is coming from residents, and what types of farms might be taking the compost,” said Lempert. The team is also exploring why so much food is thrown out, and how people can learn to purchase food more selectively so less is wasted. “It’s incredibly timely,” said Wasserman. “You can’t open the Times or the Journal without seeing an article on food waste. I think this puts us on the forefront.” Competitors are encouraged to come up with an initiative that is flexible enough to apply to cities of different sizes. “They are interested in ideas that are scalable,” said Wasserman. “So a solution for a town of 30,000 could also work for a city of three million. Even big cities are divided into neighborhoods.” —Anne Levin

Trenton-Mercer Airport Hosts Exploration for Kids With Autism

Air travel can be an unpredictable experience for even the most seasoned traveler. For ch ildren, especially those with special needs, it can be overwhelming. To help families prepare for air travel, the County of Mercer, Trenton-Mercer A ir por t and t he Mercer Count y Special Ser vices School District have organized a program called Let’s Investigate Flying Together (LIFT), which is designed to allow children with autism to become familiar with Trenton-Mercer Airport, airport procedures, and the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) process ahead of their air travel trip. The exercise is the airport’s inaugural effort. The 90-minute program, set for Sunday, May 6, from 7 to 8:30 a.m., will take par ticipants through the experiences of entering the airport, getting boarding passes, going through security, sitting in the passenger hold area, and collecting their luggage through baggage claim.

Airport officials will be on hand to answer questions and help participants understand the airport procedures. “The ultimate goal is to help families prepare for a positive flying experience from Trenton-Mercer Airport or any other,” said Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes. Registration is required and is limited to 75 participants. To participate, email TTN.LIFT@gmail.com. Upon receipt of the email, participants will be contacted directly and will receive a packet of information about the event.

re s e arch cons or t iu m s o that we can learn from each other. This is unprecedented in scope and exciting in its possibilities.” She went on to emphasize the urgency of the moment. “To me it’s an all-hands-ondeck crisis,” she said. “We’re seeing it every day in the news. Some events are high profile, but we know there’s a daily toll of gun violence.” Pointing out that there are different cultures around the country, but that attitudes are changing, Howard stated, “That’s what’s so exciting about the current climate, the engagement of young people who won’t tolerate inaction in a way that, sadly, others have. It feels like things are changing on

the ground. When the governor of Florida signed into law bills that he had previously opposed, that signals how things are changing. That will be an issue in the fall election. We’re poised to take advantage of that change, and hopefully we will be able to recruit more allies.” Howard emphasized, however, that the consortium is focused on public health, not politics, and she noted, “I’m particularly interested in applying lessons learned from public health initiatives.” She compared the progress made in reducing automobile fatalities. “We made cars safer, roads safer, drivers safer.” Howard and her colleagues are looking at a variety of ways to intervene to reduce the harm from gun

violence, including making the product safer, such as fingerprint guns or heavier triggers, or educating users. “There are lessons there in traffic fatalities reductions, and we need to be strategic,” Howard said. “The governor has recently signed into law several gun safety measures, but we need to build up that research base so that we can continue to implement policy intervention. We don’t have nearly the research that we should have, so we’re playing catchup, and that’s why we need to be much smarter about leveraging what everybody is doing and learning from each other.” Murphy, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, and Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo

came together in February to form a “States for Gun Safety” coalition, sharing mental health data, arrest warrants, and orders of protection in order to prevent unwarranted gun purchases. Massachuset ts G over nor Charlie Baker, Delaware Governor John Carney, and Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello have joined the group over the past three months. “The moment feels different now,” Howard said. “There’s momentum. People are committed.” —Donald Gilpin

DACA Remains continued from page one

brought by Princeton University, one of its undergraduate students, and Microsoft Corporation combined the case with a similar lawsuit filed against the government by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and other organizations. “We are delighted that the court agreed with us that the government’s termination of the DACA program ‘was unlawful and must be set aside,’” said Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “As the court noted, ‘neither the meager legal reasoning nor the assessment of litigation risk provided by [the Department of Homeland Security]’ is enough to support the government’s decision to end the program.” Princeton University senior Maria De La Cruz Perales Sanchez, and Microsoft filed suit November 3, 2017, alleging that the termination of DACA violated both the United States Constitution and federal law. “DREAMers grew up in this country, attended our schools, pay taxes, and contribute to our communities,” said Microsof t President Brad Smith. “We hope this decision will help provide new incentive for the legislative solution the country and these individuals so clearly deserve. As the business community has come to appreciate, a lasting solution for the country’s DREAMers is both an economic imperative and a humanitarian necessity.” Noting that the issue of the DACA program and the fate of undocumented immigrants remains in limbo, Eisgruber added, “W hile the decision does not fully resolve the uncertainty facing DACA beneficiaries, it unequivocally rejects the rationale the government has offered for ending the program and makes clear that the DHS acted arbitrarily and capriciously.” Perales Sanchez, a beneficiary of the DACA program, expressed a combination of relief, frustration, and determination to continue the push for a permanent solution. “Today’s decision left me with a variety of emotions,” she said. “The better opinion would have been to immediately restore all the original DACA, as the current decision prolongs the uncertainty that has terrorized undocumented youth once again. At the same time, I’m faithful that DACA’s constitutionality will be upheld.” Adriana Abizadeh, executive director of the Trentonbased Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund ( LALDEF), expressed her optimism that the ruling will help to provide valuable support locally. “Judge Bates has reopened the door to employment authorization for many youth that are yearning to be productive members of our society,” she said. “Youth that know no other country than the United States of America, that pledge allegiance to our flag, and that are excited for the opportunity to further their education.” S h e c o n t i n u e d , “N e w Jer s ey w i ll b ecom e t he ninth state to provide statewide tuition assistance to

undocumented st udents. The bill is expected to be signed by Governor Murphy before the end of May and goes into effect this fall, directly impacting the high school graduating class of 2018.” Reflecting on the ongoing clash since the Trump administration’s announcement last September that DACA would be terminated, Abizadeh echoed the words of Perales Sanchez and others who are hoping for a speedy resolution to the national clash over immigration laws. “The federal government attempted to rescind DACA last year, and they were met with protest,” she said. “This nation has risen up and unified thousands of voices in support of DACA. As we already know, DACA was created as a short-term solution to a permanent problem. President Obama acted in the best interest of these youth and passed DACA through executive order in 2012, because even then our congressional representatives couldn’t work together to pass a bill that would provide opportunities for citizenship for these youth. “Fast forward more than five years and Congress has remained consistent in their inaction. Despite pressure and clear support for the bill, they still weren’t able to successfully bring a bill to the floor for a vote that would provide a permanent solution for DACA recipients and those who would be eligible in the future.” —Donald Gilpin

BOOK REVIEW

The Dickens Connection — Barnaby Rudge and Grip Come to the Friends of the Library Book Sale

ooking ahead to this weekend’s Friends of the Princeton Public Library Book Sale, I’m finally reading the copy of Barnaby Rudge that was given to me by a British couple who inscribed it in memory of the evening we spent at the King’s Head (Dickens’s Maypole), the novel’s primary setting. If I hesitate to use “Dickensian” to describe this memorably thoughtful, kind, and caring couple, it’s because my understanding of the term conflicts with online definitions that stipulate “poor social conditions” and “comically repulsive characters.” What made the couple in question “Dickensian” was the cheerful Christmas-morning-at-the-Cratchits’ warmth I felt during my week-long stay in their bucolic South Woodford bungalow. High tea with Ethel and Bertie would have charmed old Ebenezer on the spot, sparing him those guided tours with the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. “Dickensian,” however, reflects as complex a phenomenon as the fictional universe that inspired it; the same word can be used to depict both a cartoonish grotesque like Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop and a truehearted soul like Joe Gargary in Great Expectations; it also covers the compound of monster and benefactor embodied by Magwitch in the same novel. The bah-humbug excessiveness of Scrooge’s misanthropy is itself Dickensian, as is the colorful prose used to describe it. Dickensian Extremes So here’s Barnaby Rudge, this cherished gift that I’ve been meaning to read since I was in my late teens, and however many times I’ve expectantly opened my copy, I’ve never made it past the first chapter until now. I can’t explain why it’s taken me so long, given that the novel begins with an engaging example of colorful Dickensian prose describing an inn that has “more gable ends than a lazy man would care to count on a sunny day” and “huge zig-zag chimneys” from which “smoke could not choose but come out in more than naturally fantastic shapes.” In fact, what drew me in and kept me reading this time are the Dickensian extremes with which the title character in Barnaby Rudge actually lives, sees, and responds to life. To the novelist, the “fantastic shapes” made by smoke rising from “zig-zag chimneys” are merely words; for Barnaby, imagination is experience. When he sees smoke “rolling up the chimney in a thick black cloud,” he expresses it aloud like a sports announcer performing a play-by-play narration, doing all he can do to animate the thing seen, miming the movement, dancing with it: “Now, where do they go to, when they spring so fast up there? Why do they tread so closely on each other’s heels, and why are they always in a hurry … More of ’em! catching to each other’s skirts; and as fast as they go, others come! What a merry dance it is!” It’s more of the same as he watches clothes blown about on a line: “Do you mark how they whisper in each other’s ears; then dance and leap, to make believe they are

in sport? Do you see how they stop for a moment, when they think there is no one looking, and mutter among themselves again; and then how they roll and gambol, delighted with the mischief they’ve been plotting? Look at ’em now. See how they whirl and plunge. And now they stop again, and whisper, cautiously together.” When someone tells him “they are only clothes fluttering in the wind,” Barnaby laughs, saying, “Why, how much better to be silly, than as wise as you! You don’t see shadowy people there, like those that live in sleep — not you. Nor eyes in the knotted panes of glass, nor swift ghosts when it

figure” had been “discarded.” It does seem odd (if not “silly”) that a period work subtitled A Tale of the Riots of ‘Eighty bears the name of the fantastical character who actually takes up a relatively modest portion of the complex plot, as Dickens spirits him in and out of the novel’s 700 pages. Here’s a portion of young Barnaby’s entrance in all its Dickensian glory: “His hair, of which he had a great profusion, was red, and hanging in disorder about his face and shoulders, gave to his restless looks an expression quite unearthly …. He had ornamented his hat with a cluster of

blows hard, nor do you hear voices in the air, nor see men stalking in the sky — not you! I lead a merrier life than you, with all your cleverness. You’re the dull men. We’re the bright ones. Ha! ha! I’ll not change with you, clever as you are — not I!” The rationale for Barnaby’s wildness is that he’s mad, “silly,” an “idiot,” when he’s actually more like a spark of creative fire brought to life, the author’s fancy at play in the narrative. Novelist George Gissing has noted how fond Dickens is of “characters hovering between eccentricity and madness,” but he knows Barnaby is something else. “Crazy, I call him,” Gissing writes, “an idiot he certainly is not. An idiot does not live a life of exalted imagination.” In the end, however, Gissing believes Barnaby Rudge, “good as it is,” would have been a better book if the idea of “an insane central

peacock’s feathers, but they were limp and broken, and now trailed negligently down his back. Girt to his side was the steel hilt of an old sword without blade or scabbard; and some particoloured ends of ribands and poor glass toys completed the ornamental portion of his attire. The fluttered and confused disposition of all the motley scraps that formed his dress, bespoke, in a scarcely less degree than his eager and unsettled manner, the disorder of his mind, and by a grotesque contrast set off and heightened the more impressive wildness of his face.” And then of course there’s Barnaby’s constant companion, Grip the raven. Two Ravens In his preface to Barnaby Rudge, Dickens talks about his two pet ravens, the first of which slept in the stable, where, thanks to “the mere superiority of his genius,” he was

able to “walk off unmolested with the dog’s dinner,” only to meet an untimely end by consuming “a pound or two of white lead left by some painters.” The second raven “tore up and swallowed, in splinters, the greater part of a wooden staircase of six steps and a landing,” was eventually taken ill and “died before the kitchen fire” with “his eye to the last upon the meat as it roasted.” When Dickens came to America in 1842, a year after the publication of Barnaby Rudge, he met a literary magpie named Edgar Allan Poe. Three years later, Poe published “The Raven,” which became one of the most famous poems in the English language. Writing in Graham’s Magazine around the time he met Dickens, Poe reviewed Barnaby Rudge at great length, devoting eight densely detailed paragraphs to outlining the convoluted plot before going on analyze Dickens’s strategy (“Every point is so arranged as to perplex the reader, and whet his desire for elucidation”). Once Poe gets around to mentioning the raven, you can see his own bird of ill omen taking shape. While he finds Grip “intensely amusing,” he thinks the raven might have been more effectively tied to “the conception of the fantastic Barnaby”; in addition, “its croakings might have been prophetically heard in the course of the drama.” That’s Poe’s emphasis on the word “prophetically,” which suggests he’s already envisioning his Prophet of Nevermore (“Prophet! thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil!). Dickens’s raven habitually chants “I’m a devil, I’m a devil, I’m a devil” and moves about at “a pace like that of a very particular gentleman with exceedingly tight boots on, trying to walk fast over loose pebbles.” Another passage that resonates in Poe takes place in a “chamber … dull, dark, and sombre; heavy with worm-eaten books; deadened and shut in by faded hangings, muffling every sound,” where the raven “hopped upon the table … with the air of some old necromancer” and “appeared to be profoundly studying a great folio volume that lay open on a desk,” looking ‘like the embodied spirit of evil biding his time of mischief.” Rare William Morris f all Poe’s many contributions to the mystique of old books and thus secondhand book sales like the one approaching, the most familiar may be the reference to “many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore” from “The Raven.” Add to that the hint of something Dickensian in the notion of a space called the Community Room being transformed more or less overnight to a market fair of secondhand books from a variety of periods and places, homes and habitats. One of this year’s rarest and most curious volumes is the 1893 Kelmscott Press edition of The Tale of King Florus and the Fair Jehane, translated by William Morris from the 13th century French. Hoping to search out some sort of Dickens-Morris connection online, I found that when Morris was courting the 17-year-old Jane Burden at Oxford, soon to become Jane Morris, he read aloud to her — from Barnaby Rudge. —Stuart Mitchner

M i m i S chw a r t z’s f i r s t memories of creative writi ng are f rom h er e arly childhood, when she wrote and per for med bir thday poems for her G erman / Jewish immigrant family in Forest Hills, New York. Successive efforts included scripts for summer camp “color wars,” and having a story she wrote in fifth grade mimeographed and tacked onto the classroom bulletin board. From these auspicious beginnings came a career as a published author and educator. Schwartz’s latest work, When History is Personal (University of Nebraska Press), is a series of stories about 25 key moments in her life. Some of them take place in Princeton, Schwartz’s home since the 1960s. She will read from the book at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16, at Labyrinth Books. “N on f i c t i on c a n b e a voice. It can be interesting,” said Schwartz, in a recent telephone conversation. She was a professor in the writing program at Richard Stockton College for 25 years, and taught writing at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. “You can write to be interesting as well as to be accurate. I think memoirs should include the oppos-

ing points of view, and I try to do that in all my books. So you don’t just write from your own perspective without any awareness of what others are thinking.” T he stor ies in When History Is Personal take the reader from scenes of early childhood in Queens through marriage, motherhood, breast cancer, widow h o o d, g r a n d ch i ld re n, and end-of-life issues. Stories touch on assimilation, anti-Semitism, racism, and feminism. The book is divided into four parts: “Family Haunts,” “In and Out My Front Door,” “Storyscapes,” and “Border Crossings.” It is in “In and Out My Front Door” that Schwartz writes about the Princeton neighborhood Glen Acres, where she lived with her husband and children from 1966 to 1970; and Evelyn Place, the Princeton street w h e r e t h e y m ov e d a n d wh ere s h e cont i nu e s to live today. Glen Acres was one of two planned interracial communities built in New Jersey in 1957, and Schwartz has fond memories of her years there. “It is a special community and that’s how I remembered it,” she said. “When the photo of children on the cover of the book was selected by the editors, they asked if I could get permis-

sions to run it. These children are now grown and I wasn’t sure if I could find them all. I called up one of the fathers of the kids, and within 24 hours, I had everyone’s permission. It was tremendous validation, by email, of how I remembered ever yone. It was quite a special moment.” From late childhood until she finished graduate school, Schwartz’s creative voice “went underground,” s h e r e c a l l e d. A f te r s h e wrote a three-part series for the Princeton Packet while living with her family in Israel for a year, she began writing seriously. With a partner, she started a community writing program for kids after school, “to keep writing fun,” she said. “We both taught at Stuart for a few years. This was when you were taught in school to think before you write, and to outline. I don’t use that approach. This was a counter movement that started me on teaching.” Schwartz has always encouraged students to find their voices. “You can write memoirs for many different audiences — for your children, your grandchildren, or others — and the further away they are from your experience, the more you have to tell,” she said. “If they don’t know you, you

have to tell the story super well to make them want to keep going.” Schwar tz and her hus band, Stu, met when she was 13 and they were married for 50 years. In “Lessons from a Last Day,” she writes about the 24 hours between when he was admitted to a small New Engla nd hospit a l w it h m i ld pneumonia and his unexpected death after being flown to a larger medical center. “The whole first section is how I experienced it,” she said. “The second part was written over several years and it incorporates what doctors and lawyers have told me and talks about issues like living wills. So the story is both intensely personal, but again has these other voices adding to the conversation and making it more interesting.” The awful memor y was lessened somewhat when S chwar t z was inv ited to sp e a k at t he Un iver s it y Medical Center of Princeton after someone from that hospital’s ethics board read the stor y. “I had a great conversation with doctors, administrators, hospitalists, and social workers. I felt like the essay made a difference,” she said. “Even though it wasn’t the same hospital. The issues are the same.” Schwartz wants people to write their own stories, “if only for their own families,” she said. “But you have to w r ite it well enough, or even your own family won’t read them.” —Anne Levin

“Evolution of Attraction” Subject of Conversation

Michael Ryan will join Michael Lemonick in a conversation about Ryan’s new book, A Taste for the Beautiful: The Evolution of Attraction ( Princeton Univ. Press $27.95) on Wednesday, May 2 at 6 p.m. Natural History magazine calls the book “a delightful and enlightening review of current laboratory and field research into the aesthetic worlds of dozens of species …. If there’s a lesson to be learned from Ryan’s survey of sexual aesthetics, it’s that each species perceives the world through a uniquely tuned array of senses with

a unique evolutionary histor y. Put succinctly, ro mance among the birds and the bees has one thing in common with romance between men and women …. It’s complicated.” According to Scientific American, “Ryan charms readers with his account of attraction in the animal kingdom, including humans. As he puts it, beauty is in the ‘brain of the beholder.’” From one of the world’s leading authorities on animal behavior comes the astonishing story of how the female brain drives the evolution of beauty in animals and humans. The author and acclaimed science writer Michael Lemonick will also discuss sexual selection. Michael J. Ryan is professor in zoology at the University of Texas and a senior research associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. He is a leading researcher in the fields of sexual selection, mate choice, and animal com munication. Michael Lemonick is an opinion editor at Scientific American, a former senior staff writer at Climate Central, and a former senior science writer at Time.

Labyrinth Hosts Talk On “The Reactionary Mind”

Corey Robin will be discussing his book The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edward Burke to Donald Trump with Keeanaga-Yamahtta Taylor (Oxford Univ. Press) at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, May 3 at 6 p.m. A review in Dissent comments, “The common opinion on the Left is that conservatives are fire-breathing idiots, who make up in heat what they lack in light. Robin’s book is a welcome correction of this simplistic view and puts the debate where it ought to be: on the force and content of conservative ideas.” Ranging from Edmund Burke to Antonin Scalia, from John C. Calhoun to Ayn Rand, The Reactionary Mind suggests that all rightwing ideologies, from the 18th century through today, are historical improvisations on a theme: the felt experience of having power, seeing it threatened, and trying to win it back. Corey Robin teaches political science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. His w ritings have appeared in the New York Times, Harper’s, and the London Review of Books. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor is assistant professor in Princeton University’s Department of African American Studies and the author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation and of Rats, and How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University.

A Taste of Spring

CLEAN WATER IS KEY: Incoming New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Catherine McCabe addressed The Watershed Institute’s annual meeting on April 23. In her speech, she touched on the issues of stormwater, dam removal, stream protections, and pipelines. Formerly known as the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, the organization also presented awards to a group of professional women from the Princeton area, and to two teachers from the Lawrence Township public schools.

Pr inceton Montessor i School has won authorization to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program to students in grades six-eight. It is one of only seven schools in New Jersey to offer this program at the middle school level, joining a community of 4,000 IB World Schools across the globe. “We are so proud of our dual accolades, American Montessori accreditation and now International Baccalaureate authorization, as they help us guarantee the optimal learning environment for our students,” Princeton Montessori Head Michelle Mor r ison s aid. “Earning the IB authorization for the middle school assures parents that our Montessori approach to creating a holistic, empowering, and inquiry-based environment for early adolescents is matched by a curriculum that meets an international standard of excellence.” Pointing out the parallel missions of Montessori and IB “in that they both seek to develop creative and compassionate critical thinkers who can design their own future while improving the world around them,” Morrison noted that IB emphasizes intellectual challenge and a rigorous yet flexible framework. IB “encourages students, ages 11-14, to make practical connections between their studies and the real world, preparing them for success in further study and in life,” last week’s Princeton Montessori announcement noted.

Former Borough Mayor Believes Dwaine Williamson Is “Totally Dedicated to Making Princeton Work for All of Us” Business Leader Says Lambros Is the One Candidate With the Savvy, Vision to Impact Our Business Community To the Editor When I was first informed that Dwaine Williamson would run for one of the seats on Princeton Council, my immediate response was that he would certainly have my support. That was my response because I know Dwaine and have had the opportunity to work with him over the past few years on the Princeton Planning Board, with PCDO matters, and in other venues. I know him to be committed, responsible, and totally dedicated to making Princeton work for all of us. He has demonstrated the ability to listen and absorb before expressing an opinion; to do his homework; and he presents as a fair-minded and level-headed person who would continue to demonstrate those qualities as a councilperson. Were you to get the opportunity to know Dwaine, to hear his extraordinary personal history of moving to this country after his birth, of his educational background here in Princeton and beyond, and his civic contributions to Princeton, I am sure you would be as impressed as I am. There are many issues to be addressed by Princeton Council

To the Editor: In recent years, we have seen businesses leave Princeton, some moving out to other towns, some closing their doors for good. It is a loss for our community to lose flagship stores, services, and offices that have been part of the Princeton community. Many of these businesses had been a part of our local tradition, supporting our community’s economy and contributing to Princeton’s unique character for decades. Businesses in Princeton pay a significant amount of the real estate taxes remitted to the town, lessening the burden on residents. Knowing that most research shows that for every dollar spent with a local business or service provider the return to the community is $4 to $8, I believe in order to keep our downtown area vital we need more support from the local government for infrastructure investment, lessening of zoning restrictions, and solutions for parking.

Panel discussion moderated by Robbert Dijkgraaf, Director and Leon Levy Professor Black holes are fascinating objects predicted by the general theory of relativity. They are spacetime geometries where the flow of time is distorted in a major way. Stephen Hawking showed that quantum mechanics implies that black holes emit thermal radiation, so they are not completely black. Maldacena and Stanford will explain and review these results, which have inspired many further developments. As an example, they will discuss how information sent using the quantum mechanical phenomenon of teleportation translates into a trip through a wormhole connecting two black holes.

tion to these issues, we also need to attract more tourists, as Princeton is a wonderful destination both for overnight stays as well as day trips, and increased foot traffic will help our businesses grow and thrive. There is only one candidate for Princeton Council who has the business savvy and vision to impact our business community and help bring about the needed changes in our approach, to think out of the box for solutions to these issues, and to show the dedication needed to find ways to solve problems. The person to do this is Michelle Pirone Lambros. We need leadership to develop plans to attract investment, develop events that will attract tourists, find ways to make the town more business friendly, and ensure that we have better transportation to move residents around town. All of these ideas come from Michelle Pirone Lambros, whom I am supporting for Princeton Council. We need innovative solutions to the challenges the business community is facing today, and I am confident that Michelle offers the leadership skills to accomplish this. Vote for Michelle on June 5th.

Sustainable Princeton Thanks Arts Council, PU, Others, For Supporting Sustainable Initiatives at Communiversity

To the Editor: With much appreciation, on behalf of Sustainable Prince ton’s Trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters, we thank the Arts Council of Princeton, Princeton University’s Office of Sustainability and Office of Community and Regional Affairs, the Municipality of Princeton’s Public Works Department, and event attendees for their support of our sustainable initiatives at this year’s Communiversity ArtsFest. We were so pleased to be able to bring Resource Recovery Tents to provide composting bins and recycling education in an effort to reduce Princeton’s carbon footprint. It was wonderful to see hundreds of visitors, who cared about the destination of their waste, visit our tents and use our water refill stations. We applaud the many people who chose to get to Communiversity in a sustainable way — we saw a lot of bikes and walkers! At Sustainable Princeton, we are committed to the motto, Change a Habit, Change the World. This year, great strides were made to make Communiversity a more sustainable event. We look forward to building on this progress in 2019 through partnership with leadership of the Arts Council of Princeton and Communiversity ArtsFest event coordinators.

Arts Council’s Board of Trustees Extends Thanks to All Involved in Communiversity

To the Editor: On behalf of the Arts Council of Princeton’s Board of Trustees and staff, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in this year’s Communiversity ArtsFest. With over 200 participants consisting of artists, merchants, food vendors, and nonprofits, plus hundreds of volunteers and the tens of thousands of visitors who came through downtown Princeton, it was an amazing day for all. This year, we turned our focus to Princeton-based artists and businesses to give the event that special hometown feel. If you attended, you noticed art was everywhere and in every form. There were seven stages featuring musicians and dance performers of all ages. It is always a delight to see artists set up their easels sporadically throughout the town and on campus enjoying plein air painting. The interactive children’s art activities, ceramics and painting demonstrations, and perennial favorite sidewalk chalk murals along Palmer Square were some of the highlights for art lovers. Sustainable Princeton did an incredible job executing several new sustainable initiatives, including Resource Recovery Tents and water refill stations. We look forward to continuing our work with them. Thanks to the good work from the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee, an impressive amount of people rode their bike to Communiversity or walked. As a Princeton-based nonprofit with a mission of building community through the arts, we are appreciative of the collaborations with community partners that helped us to produce another hugely successful town-gown event. With much appreciation we thank: the students of Princeton University, University President Christopher Eisgruber, and the Office of Community and Regional Affairs; Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert; the Princeton Police Department; Princeton Fire Department; Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad; Princeton Regional Health Department; Princeton Public Works Department; the Princeton Clergy Association; Princeton Merchants Association; the Princeton Public Library; Sustainable Princeton, Mary Harris Events; consultants Sue Bannon and Ellen Malavsky; our major sponsors AT&T, Baker Auto Group, Palmer Square Management, Princeton Garden Theatre; and the local media. You can find a complete list of all of the generous Communiversity ArtsFest sponsors and in-kind sponsors at artscouncilofprinceton.org. Thank you all for making the 48th annual Communiversity ArtsFest a wonderful homegrown event! TANESHIA NASH LAIRD Executive Director, Arts Council of Princeton

To the Editor: Juniors and seniors at Princeton High School recently witnessed a very realistic and graphic simulation of a drunk-driving car crash. The event, which is presented every other year, sent a powerful message — drinking and driving can be lethal, and lives can change in a matter of seconds. Many organizations and people are to be thanked for their support and cooperation. The Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, under the direction of Frank Setnicky; squad member Greg Paulson, who narrated; the Princeton Police Department and Chief Nick Sutter; the Princeton Fire Department; Mather Hodge Funeral Home; and Stewart Towing were all instrumental in coordinating this major undertaking. Kurt Zimmerman of the Princeton High School Media Department; Shannon Koch, who prepared the student actors for their roles, complete with frighteningly real-looking “injuries”; Tony Diaforli and the district grounds crew; the PHS Guidance Department; Gwen Kimsal, Student Assistance Coordinator; Assistant Principal, Angela Siso Stentz; and Principal Gary Snyder were invaluable. The actors, who were all members of Princeton High School’s SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) chapter, are to be commended for doing a remarkable job. They, and their peers, are the reason why so many people came together to work on this project. It is hoped that every student who saw the horrifying simulation will remember to always stay safe and sober, particularly during the prom and graduation seasons ahead. May we in Princeton never experience this tragedy in real life. WENDY JOLLEY 2018 Crash Simulation Committee

be made into housing for the community, but since Rider is only interested in getting its money wherever it comes from, Princeton’s contribution would maintain the College in the form that it is in, while investing in an institution that perfectly fits the residential area it has so long graced. Westminster is too valuable an asset to the town of Princeton to simply let it disappear or change in deeply fundamental ways. I urge the government and the people of Princeton to appreciate the wonderful school that they have in their midst and raise the money to restore to Westminster the independence that it once enjoyed. That would surely be the greatest gift that Princeton could give to the amazing students and teachers of Westminster Choir College. MARVIN HAROLD CHEITEN Meadowbrook Drive

Friends of the Princeton Public Library, we have witnessed Eve’s repeated and successful management of the Friends Book Sale. During her eight years working on and organizing the sale, the income consistently and impressively increased. An important part of the event’s success can be attributed to Eve’s real knack for working with people. She did a fabulous job with the 70-plus book sale volunteers, who were loyal, inspired, and hard-working under her leadership. Thousands of people attend the book sale, and Eve’s feeling for our community and her welcoming nature contributed to the wonderful esprit de corps of the event. If you don’t already know Eve, we can tell you that she is as bright as can be, thoughtful, caring, and organized. Plus, she understands and cares deeply about this town. She is the best kind of team player — we have seen her as an able leader as well as a cooperative and willing “player.” Eve is a wonderful listener and, when coupled with her extraordinary ability to analyze problems and outline a plan of action, she will quickly become a valued and very productive member of the Council.

First Annual Empty Bowl Evening Hosted by PDS Raises Over $4,000

To the Editor, Last month Princeton Day School hosted its first annual Empty Bowls evening. Students, faculty, and parents came together to play a role in addressing hunger. With over 120 people attending, the event on every level was a wonderful success and $4,000 was raised. The proceeds were split between Trenton Area Soup Kitchen and Feeding America. With these donations, 22,000 meals will be provided. Started in 1990, Empty Bowls is an international initiative to fight hunger that is personalized by organizations on a community level. The evening, which included a dinner of soup, bread, and water, was designed simply to remind guests of hunger in the world. Guests chose a handcrafted bowl to keep among over 300 that were designed by PDS ceramics students from grades 4 and 8, and the Upper School. We would like to thank Brick Farm Market, D’Angelo’s, Flik, Olives, and the Rocky Hill Inn for donating the delicious soups. One student commented, “I thought that Empty Bowls was a great idea and wanted to support it. I got a sense of accomplishment out of this. I was happy that I got to help the community and happy that so many people participated.” We look forward to Empty Bowls becoming a PDS tradition as our school community strives to help in the fight against hunger.

Urging People and Government of Princeton To Keep Choir College Alive and Functioning

To the Editor: Rider University, having decided to sell Westminster Choir College, is in negotiations with a Chinese company which, until very recently, was called the Jiangsu Zhongtai Bridge Steel Structure Co. These negotiations have not been concluded after many months; meanwhile, Rider is facing two separate lawsuits alleging that it cannot sell the College — and many friends of the College, including townspeople in Princeton, have become increasingly worried that the transaction, if concluded, will fundamentally change the nature of the school. Perhaps there is a better way to resolve this matter: considering the excellent education that the Choir College has given its students for so many decades, and the prestigious, nationally acclaimed school that it has always been, suppose the town of Princeton were to float a bond issue and buy the Choir College from Rider University, thereby keeping the college alive and functioning. Obviously the college would have to repay the town for its generosity, perhaps by allowing a portion of its land to

Sunflower Glass Studio in Stockton is participating in this year’s Hunterdon Art Tour, and Karen and Geoff Caldwell, makers of fused and stained glass windows, have invited artist friends from the Delaware River Valley area to set up booths surrounding their studio. “The Hunterdon Art Tour is an exciting venue connecting so many wonderful artists who live in our county,” says Karen Caldwell. “I wanted to make our location special and inviting for people, so I invited some very dear friends to participate with us.” Sunflower and Friends Open Studio Tour is May 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Among the exhibiting artists are Bernard Hohlfeld of Roundwood Studio, maker of wood-turned bowls; Diana Contine of Dakota Moon Studio, a jewelry designer working in fine silver and gem stones; Sheila Watson Coutin of Sandbrook Studio, maker of functional and sculptural pottery; and Amy Turner, weaver and fabric artist. Sunflower Glass Studio is celebrating its 40th year in the glass world as makers of windows and fine table-top accessories.

The Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition (PMPE) is seeking entries for its 26th annual competition and has selected a panel of jurors to choose the images — and prize winners — for the show scheduled for June 2-24 at the 1756 grist mill just outside New Hope, Pa. The exhibition’s theme since the first exhibition has remained, “Photography as Art and Photographer as Artist.” Photographers are encouraged to submit a current body of work created within the past five years. Images may be in any photographic medium, from historic to alternative and digital, in order to best represent the artist’s creative expression. The exhibition draws entries from hobbyists, as well as professional artists from throughout the country and, in some years, from around the globe. More than half a dozen financial awards are presented, including a prize for Best of Show. Entries may be shipped by May 8 to PMPE Entries, 358 Cafferty Road, Pipersville Pa., 18947. Submissions may also be hand-delivered to Phillips’ Mill Community Association, 2619 R iver Road, New Hope on May 11 from 4 to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 12. There is no limit to the number of submissions. Entry fee is $42 for up to four images; $10 for each additional image submitted. PMPE also accepts matted and covered images for non-juried portfolio bins. Up to four images can be sub-

mitted free of charge. The fee is $10 for each additional image. All work submitted for the exhibition must be available for sale. Fo l l o w i n g s u b m i s s i o n dates, jurors will review the pool of several hundred images and pare it down to about 150 images. This year’s jurors are past Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition award-winning photographers Wendy Brusca, Valerie Pfaff, and Henry Rowan. For additional information about the jurors, the exhibition, and the submission process, as well as a prospectus and registration form, go to www.phillipsmill.org.

ACP’s Benefit “Vintage 1968: Vinyl & Velvet”

In celebration of the Arts Council of Princeton’s (ACP) 50th year, the theme of their signature spring art and wine benefit, Pinot to Picasso, is “Vintage 1968 : Vinyl & Velvet.” The “art party” will take place on Friday, May 18, 6-10 p.m. at the Technology Center of Princeton, 330 Carter Road. Approximately 400 guests are expected to attend the celebration to include a salon-style exhibition, gourmet tastings from local restaurants, wines from around the world, and dancing. “Expect to be transported to the eclectic urban art “REVOLUTION”: This original watercolor was donated by artist Leon Rainbow for the Tombola and music scene of 1968 — lottery at the Arts Council of Princeton’s spring art and wine benefit, Pinot to Picasso, to be a time that had a profound held on Friday, May 18.

We transform raw space into an amazing loft party. This year, rad dress code is encouraged.” One of the highlights of the evening is the Tombola, an Italian-style lottery where every ticket holder wins an original work of art. More than 75 beautiful original works of art were donated by talented local artists. The number of Tombola tickets available is limited to the number of pieces of art. Tombola ticket holders, having already previewed the available choices, make a quick decision when their number is drawn. In the end, each Tombola ticket holder takes home a unique work of art. Funds raised from Pinot to Picasso contribute, in part, to the Arts Council’s Anne Reeves Fund, which supports Community Arts initiatives and the Arts Council of Princeton’s Artist-in-Residence Program. Tickets for Pinot to Picasso are $125 for a Taster (event) ticket and $300 for a Tombola entry. Sponsorship tickets are available starting at $500. Purchase tickets online at artscouncilofprinceton.org or call (609) 924-8777 x109.

Garland, respectively. Burden, with vast operatic experience, dramatically brought Owen’s poetry to life, often joined by Garland portraying a second soldier. Garland also presented the text mournfully, and when the two singers came together in a closing dialog among a narrator and two corpses, the poignancy of Owen’s words and the soloists’ plaintive singing showed War Requiem to be a true memorial to England’s lost. Burden and Garland were most often accompanied by the chamber orchestra, with especially elegant solos from clarinetist Yang Song, oboist Ethan Petno, and harpists Julia Ilhardt and Sarah Rapoport. Soprano Sarah Pelletier’s role was often to lead the choruses in the Latin text, well interpreting the fear and wrath of an impending day of judgment. Pelletier effectively captured a community’s collective sense of grief as she was joined by children and adult choruses in a closing plea for consolation and eternal rest. Britten’s setting of the Latin “Requiem” text followed the tradition of 18th and 19 th -century composers before him, with a particular influence from Giuseppe Verdi’s powerfully operatic setting. However, prayers which previous composers had scored to lyrical and graceful melodies were set by Britten as dramatically intense, often with pulsating timpani and forceful horns. Britten intended this work to be performed by massive forces, and the four combined ensembles in Richardson Auditorium did not disappoint. From the podium, conductor Pratt kept the varied musical palettes intact, emphasizing brass writing that could rival Mahler, and allowing the Glee Club and Pro Musica to sing seated at times to accentuate subtlety. Certain a cappella passages were sung with an even sound and little vocal color, creating starkness. Pratt was able to bring the orchestral and choral sound to full volume as the day of wrath threatened to consume the world in ashes, yet wisely reduced conducting gestures during poetic sections to allow the soloists and accompanying instruments to find their own pace in the music. ritten’s War Requiem stands as a monument to the scars of war and how hope can rise from the ashes. Although the composer spent part of World War II in the United States as a conscientious objector, he felt compelled to return to England in 1942, and this work also serves as an homage to his homeland in one of the country’s darkest periods. Loss permeates the piece — a concept not lost on Pratt and Crouch as they bid farewell to almost 25 percent of their ensembles’ membership who are graduating this year. The Stuart B. Mindlin performances this past weekend surely gave these graduating seniors food for thought as they embark on their postgraduate journeys into the world. —Nancy Plum

n a true “town and gown” collaboration, the Princeton University Orchestra presented one of its most substantial Stuart B. Mindlin Memorial Concerts ever this past weekend at Richardson Auditorium. Joined by the University Glee Club, Princeton Pro Musica, Princeton High School Women’s Choir, and three international vocal soloists, the orchestra put the crowning stroke on conductor Michael Pratt’s 40th anniversary season leading the ensemble. In performances Friday and Saturday night, more than 300 musicians took the stage for Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem, requiring an extension to the stage at Richardson. Friday night’s opening performance showed this piece to be a work just as timely now as at its premiere in 1962, and proved to be music that musically pulls two world conflicts into contemporary times. In another achievement for the University Orchestra, the concert was broadcast live on local radio, and was to be rebroadcasted at a later date. The Requiem Mass for the Dead has been set by composers since medieval times, ranging from unison chant to towering and operatic settings by 19 th -century composers. When Britten was commissioned to write a major work for chorus and orchestra for the dedication of the newly-constructed Coventry Cathedral in England (which stands next to the architectural remains of the structure bombed in World War II), he looked to the mass text to create a piece mourning England’s fallen soldiers of two wars. In Britten’s setting, the traditional Latin text is intermingled with poetry composed during World War I by English poet and soldier Wilfred Owen, who was killed in action a week before the armistice in 1918. Britten’s scoring divided the orchestra into a principal ensemble and chamber orchestra, and conductor Pratt placed the chamber group (including a second timpani) to the side of the stage. Beginning with very subtle bells from the percussion section and scattered “Requiem” declamations from the combined Glee Cub and Pro Musica, Pratt led the orchestra through mounting intensity in the opening section. Combining Pro Musica (prepared by Ryan James Brandau) with the Glee Club (prepared by Gabriel Crouch) added a solid foundation to the sound, especially in the men’s sections, and throughout the evening, the chorus had no trouble projecting over the colossal orchestral ensemble. The High School Women’s Choir, conducted by Vincent Metallo, was placed in an alcove in the balcony, and the choir’s clear and light sound conveyed prayers of heavenly praise with shades of innocence unfettered by the grief of the soloists and adult choruses. Britten divided the text between chorus and solo singers, giving most of Wilfred Owen’s poetry to tenor and baritone soloists — William Burden and Andrew

CINEMA REVIEW

Mutant Monsters Decimate Chicago in Old-Fashioned Horror Movie

his critic prefers this kind of old-fashioned monster movie. Loosely based on the video game of the same name, Rampage is reminiscent of campy Japanese classics like Godzilla (1954), King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), and Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964). However, instead of decimating Tokyo, the gargantuan creatures here are located in Chicago. Also, Rampage is a big-budget spectacular that relies heavily on CGI and state-of-the-art special effects. You know the drill. Some ordinary animals morph into mammoth man-eating beasts after a scientific experiment goes terribly wrong. In this case, we have a wolf, a crocodile, and an albino gorilla that mutate into predators. Curiously enough, the gorilla has a name, George (Jason Liles), which he got because he was raised in captivity by Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson), an ape-whisperer who is, as the movie opens, stationed in Rwanda where he heads an anti-poaching unit that is dedicated to the preservation of endangered species. However, he rushes to Chicago as soon as he hears that the enormous animals, including George, have begun wreaking havoc. There, he joins forces with Dr. Kate

Caldwell (Naomie Harris), a disgraced geneticist who has access to an antidote. But, before they can administer the cure brace yourself for scenes of horror such as the scaling of skyscrapers, mass hysteria in mob scenes, and — my favorite — helicopters swallowed whole. Rampage marks the third time director Brad Peyton has collaborated with Dwayne Johnson. Earlier movies were Journey 2 (2012) and San Andreas (2015). The supporting cast includes Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman, and Joe Manganiello. In addition to the visually captivating action sequences, what I enjoyed most about Rampage was the comic relief from the hero, that invariably came in the middle of major mayhem, as if to remind everybody that we’re just watching a movie. For example, when an iconic building is flattened, the hero says, “I need a drink.” And as a menacing creature unexpectedly takes flight, he matterof-factly moans, “Of course, the wolf flies.” Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for violence, mass destruction, brief profanity, and obscene gestures. Running time: 107 minutes. Production Studios: Wrigley Pictures/ Twisted Media/Flynn Picture Company. Distributor: New Line Cinema. —Kam Williams

THAT LOOKS LIKE A TASTY SNACK: The mutated crocodile has become large enough that it can swallow a helicopter whole. The crocodile, and the other two monsters — the albino gorilla George and a wolf — must somehow be given the antidote that will revert them to their former sizes in order to end their rampage that is destroying Chicago.

Cranbury Inn Restaurant A Mother’s Letter

My Dearest Family, I want to thank all of you for the lovely time shared at the Cranbury Inn Restaurant on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2018. Your choice of such a beautiful Inn with its early American charm and ambiance, located in historic Cranbury was perfect! All of our food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. I personally have never had such a wonderful Champagne Brunch (10:30am2pm). I later heard from Aunt Alice that the Inn’s special Dinner Buffet (3pm - 6pm) was superb. The staff and management as usual were attentive to our every need. This day will always be remembered. Thank you again for your love! Love, Mom

nce upon a time, independently-owned fa m i ly bu s i n e s s e s were prominently present on the retail landscape. Unfortunately, that is no longer the norm, and it makes Regent Flooring Kitchen & Bath all the more special. It is a tribute to the outstanding reputation, knowledge, and skill of this company that it is one of a selected number of such businesses still going strong, and in addition, is now celebrating its 55th anniversary.

IT’S NEW To Us

Established in 1963 by Felix Rossi and his partners, it is located in the Pennington Square Shopping Center in Pennington. It has a long history of satisfying customers who have remained loyal patrons over the years. Regent’s clients cover a wide spectrum from residential to commercial to institutional. Included are Grounds For Sculpture, New Jersey Hospital Association, The Pennington School, Merrill Lynch, Chapin School, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Princeton University, among others. “We have many regular and multi-generational customers,” notes owner Joe Rossi. “They know they can count on our service and the quality of our products.” Complete Selection Customers, who are from all over the Princeton and Penning ton area, find a complete selection of floor coverings, including carpet and area rugs, hardwood, ceramic tile, stone, marble, slate, vinyl, and laminates. Regent carries a wide range of products including the finest lines in all categories. “We are set apar t not only by the quality of our product, but because we sell, install, and service it,” points out Rossi. Regent is also known for carpet, tile,

and grout cleaning, he adds. “Carpets should have a professional cleaning every 18 months and every three or four years for tile. We also do rug binding and repair, and we refinish older hardwood floors or replace them. It’s important to maintain the beauty of the natural wood floors.” In the case of hardwood floors, customers often select area rugs to cover them rather than wall-to-wall carpets, and these area rugs can be customized to the client’s needs and style. Wall-to-wall carpet continues to be popular in bedrooms, and there are many colors, textures, and styles from which to choose. Rugs are often in wool and nylon, and there are also petfriendly fabrics available, which can be easy to clean and maintain. “We will always help suggest the best rug for the function,” notes operations manager Christina Hughes. As the company has evolved and expanded, it has really become a onestop destination, especially by virtue of its remodeling and renovation capabilities. Its kitchen and bath remodels have become an increasingly important part of the business, and the company has recently added a spacious new showroom, spotlighting the vast variety of kitchen and bath designs and products available. Designs and Styles “We are very excited to offer our expanded showroom to better serve our customers,” says Rossi. “It features kitchen and bathrooms and shows many possibilities of designs and styles.” The possibilities indeed seem limitless. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, and wall choices abound. With so many options, the selection process can be challenging, and helping customers with advice is a Regent priority, reports Hughes. “We enjoy

helping people. We advise clients and work within their budget and style. “We also do everything — the designs, installation, providing cabinets, countertops, etc. We have a fulltime carpenter on staff, and we will provide the plumbers and electricians for the project.” Among countertops, natural quartz is popular right now, she points out. “It is stain resistant and more durable. There are many looks, colors, and patterns with interesting designs, such as the ‘waterfall’ effect. Quartz can also have different textures — polished, tumbled, or honed.” Granite is another popular choice for countertops, and Hughes notes that it has become more economical today, “even less than Corian and laminates. It offers value and performance.” Regent offers a wide price range in all areas, she adds, including cabinets. Among the quality brands available are Fieldstone, Kabinart, Canyon Creek, and WoodPro. Different price levels are provided among all the brands. New Developments New developments and advances in the products appear all the time, she reports. Soft-close drawers and various roll-outs and pull-out trays are very popular today. “These make your kitchen so accessible, functional, and convenient.” Flooring, of course, is a Regent specialty, and as with cabinets, the choices are extensive and varied. “LVT — Luxury Vinyl Tile — is ver y popular now, and it can have different looks,” explains Hughes. “It can look like wood, tile, or stone, and it is very easy to maintain. LVT Hex Tile (with six sides) is also a favorite.” The diversity of the tile products is truly incredible, with porcelain, stone, and

marble all available, not only for floors but for walls as well. Regent’s selection of man-made and natural To:comes ___________________________ tile from all over the world.

Goalie Blaisdell Savors Win Over Cornell In Finale But PU Men’s Lax Falls Short of Making Ivy Tourney

yler Blaisdell helped get the Senior Day festivities underway for the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team last Saturday as he was one of the first members of the squad’s Class of 2018 to be introduced. Smiling broadly, senior goalie Blaisdell strode to the center of the field at Class of 1952 Stadium arm in arm with his parents, greeting his other classmates as they were honored before the Tigers battled No. 6 Cornell. Blaisdell enjoyed the moment before a sun-splashed crowd of 1,636 on hand. “It is really cool, you have gotten to see it for a few days before us and now your time finally comes,” said Blaisdell, a 5’9, 185-pound native of Hanover, Mass. “It is a lot to take in, but it was a great day, a beautiful afternoon.” It ended up being a great afternoon for Blaisdell and the Tigers as they broke open a tight contest with a 5-1 third quarter on the way to a 14-8 win. While the win improved Princeton to 8-5 overall and 3-3 Ivy League, the day ended on a tough note for the Tigers as they narrowly failed to make the Ivy tournament due to tiebreakers and saw their season come to an end. The top four in the league standings qualify for the event and while Princeton ended in a threeway tie with Brown and Penn for third, losses to the Quakers and Bears left the Tigers on the outside looking in. “There were a lot of things going on because we wanted to go out with a win,” said Blaisdell. “It was just the guys laying it all out there because our

backs were against the wall and if that is what it is, that is what it is.” Tiger freshman defender George Baughan laid it on the line as he held Cornell star Jeff Teat (87 points on the season) scoreless on the day. “We put George Baughan on Teat so he locked it down; he has done great all year,” said Blaisdell of Baughan, who was later named the National Player of the Week by the Baltimore Sun, the Ivy League Rookie of the Week, and the US Lacrosse/Warrior National Player of the Week. “He did a great job of limiting him from getting the ball, so hard work paid off there. Then we threw some things at them that were a little bit different where we were sliding from and things like that so it worked out well. We were able to execute on defense and the offense took care of their end.” Blaisdell took care of things in the cage, making 10 saves on the day. “They stung a few that I wanted back,” said Blaisdell. “We knew they liked to pass the ball inside a lot so we were ready to go with that defensively. From my end, it was good to be able to stab a couple and have one last good game on ’52.” Blaisdell ends his Tigers career with 521 saves, the seventh-highest total in program history. “It has been a thing I have kept an eye on a little bit; my employer this coming year is Alex Hewit ’08, who was a goalie in the 2000s,” said Blaisdell. “I think I just snuck by him last game so I will have to throw a jab at him at some point about that. It

is an honor and it is just hard work everyday with coach [Matt] Madalon really getting me going. He has been awesome as a goalie coach.” Princeton head coach Madalon was proud of how his seniors went out in their finale. “It was great to come out and have have a senior group and get performances by Sam Bonafede, Tyler Blaisdell, Austin Sims, and Riley Thomson,” said Madalon. “It is unfortunate that Danny Winschuh got knocked out of the game early.” But it was freshman Baughan who emerged as the star of the day in knocking Teat off stride. “George is a super athlete; we think a lot of him,” said Madalon. “It was a really tall task to ask of him; he did a really nice job. When Teat did beat him, George as able to make a really savvy, aggressive play. Another time Teat beat him and we were able to slide to it so it was a real good team effort.” Princeton got another another really good effort from Blaisdell as he made his 37th straight start. “We told him we were going to give up some shots, which means one thing saves,” said Madalon. “So it was sit in there, settle in. On one of the first two goals, Connor Fletcher (a former Princeton Day School standout) beat him high. We were a little upset about that because we were sitting on that; it is a shot we want to give up and unfortunately we didn’t make the play. Then Ty settled in and made a couple down the stretch.” On attack, the Tigers buried their shots with Michael

Skillman H HFurniture

Sowers, Connor McCarthy, Philip Robertson, and Thompson each scoring two goals. “We knew it had to be a complementary lacrosse game in order to sit in there with long possessions,” said Madalon. “We manufactured a couple of timers on, which is OK for us because we are slick and savvy enough to execute in short time. It was just a really good job by coach [Pat] March and a good job by Michael Sowers quarterbacking it down there, really understanding the time and tempo.” While the Tigers won’t get to play again this season, Madalon likes the way his team got better and better as the spring went on. “We have won five in a row; we are really understanding who we are,” said Madalon. “It takes time to get pieces in the right spots; it is unfortunate that your fate is not in our control. It was a good run with these guys.” Blaisdell, for his part, is leaving with great memories of his run with the Tigers. “It is crazy that it is wrapping up here; it has been awesome,” said Blaisdell. “It has been a great group of guys. It is more than you can ask for. There have been so many moments and so many great wins, especially here on Class of 52. These are the ones we will remember.” —Bill Alden

Although Princeton Baseball Gets Swept by Yale, Senior Lee-Tyson Leaving With Fond Memories It was Asher Lee-Tyson’s final game at Clarke Field for the Princeton University baseball team, and he started things with a bang. Wit h P r i n c e ton h o s ting Yale last Sunday afternoon, senior shortstop Lee-Tyson slammed a runscoring double to left field in the bottom of the first inning to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Two innings later, LeeTyson drew a walk and scored on a two-run homer by Conor Nolan as Princeton went ahead 3-1. The Tigers, though, never scored after that as defending Ivy League champion and current league leader Yale scored five unanswered runs to pull away to an 8-3 win. “It was a good start for u s,” s a id L e e -Tys on, a 5’11, 185-pound native of Weston, Conn. “I would have hoped that the game would have turned out better.” Lee-Tyson and his teammates hoped the weekend would turn out better as t hey star ted t he ser ies

against Yale still alive for a top-two finish and a spot in the Ivy League Championship Series but the Bulldogs effectively eliminated Princeton by sweeping the Tigers 2-1 and 6-0 in a doubleheader on Saturday. “We thought if we could run the table, you don’t know what can happen but losing the first two of the series hurt,” said Lee-Tyson of the Tigers, who are now 10 -23 overall and 7-11 Ivy and will wrap up the season by playing a single game at Monmouth on May 3 and a three-game set at Dartmouth from May 5-6. “It is a bittersweet feeling, it came quicker than I thought it would. I would have liked to have gotten a win today.” It was a bitter week overall for the Tigers as they were swept by Harvard in a three-game series on April 24 and 25. “There are no excuses, we just didn’t play good baseball against Yale or Harvard,” said Lee-Tyson. “I don’t think it was one or two little things, it was

everything. We didn’t play good defense, we didn’t pitch that well, we didn’t hit that well.” Although Lee-Tyson has played well in his final campaign, hitting .291, the second best on the team behind the .315 mark of junior outfielder Jesper Horsted, the individual accomplishments are outweighed by Princeton’s losing mark in Ivy competition. “I really wanted to come out of this senior season with the Ivy League championship,” said Lee-Tyson, who has 33 hits so far this spring and 118 in his career. “I think anything less than that was going to be disappointing, so this is tough.” While it will be tough for Lee-Tyson to say goodbye to baseball after this week, he is leaving w ith fond memories of his Princeton experience. “It is just a really good group of guys,” said LeeTyson, who is headed to Dallas after graduation to work in a consulting job. “I am going to miss baseball a lot but even more than that, I will miss these guys.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Lax Rolls Past Penn, Columbia, Will Host Ivy Postseason Tourney This Weekend Colby Chanenchuk sensed that the Princeton Un iversit y women’s la crosse team was primed for a big performance as it hosted Penn last Wednesday even i ng i n a n Iv y League showdown. “We have definitely been on a high, we have been improving from week to week and I think we are peaking at just the right time,” said senior attacker Chanenchuk, a 5’7 native of Natick, Mass. The Tigers didn’t waste any time showing their improvement as they jumped out to a 7-1 lead over the Quakers, who came into game ranked 10th nationally and 5-0 in Ivy play with Princeton at 4-1 in Ivy action. “We knew what we could do to beat this defense; we did a really good job of executing,” said Chanenchuk. “We knew we could pull them apart. It was setting the tone, coming out confident. Early in the season we were having trouble getting off to good starts, so this was really good for us.” Building on that good start, Princeton produced an even better finish, outscoring Penn 13-5 in the second half on the way to a 21-8 rout. “We started doing really well on the draws and that gave us momentum, pushing the fast breaks,” said Chanenchuk, who ended up with two goals and two assists in the win. Taking advantage of the fast breaks, the Tigers had four players with at least a hat trick on the evening (Elizabeth George — five goals, Kyla Sears and Ellie McNulty — four goals apiece, and Kathryn Hallett — three goals). “I t hin k t hat is what makes us such a threate n i n g te a m , you c a n’t just shut down one player and kill our offense,” said Chanenchuk. “We have so many goal scorers and weapons, we are really hard to stop.” Having set the program single-season record last spr ing w ith 38 assists, Chanenchuk thrives in a playmaking role. “I love to play a team game, having plays where multiple people are part of that goal and leading up to it,” said Chanenchuk, who has 17 points this season on four goals and 13 assists and is at 99 in her career with 26 goals and 73 assists, the latter being the fifth-highest total in program history. “I have always found that really fun.” Princeton head coach Chris Sailer had a lot of fun watching her defense stif le the high-powered Quakers. “I thought our defense was phenomenal; we just really scouted them well,” said Sailer. “The kids were well prepared and we executed what we needed to execute. Sam [Fish] made some made saves. Alex Argo just did a great job on No. 24 (Gabby Rosenzweig). We were switching on everything. We were really seeing it and communicating. It was awesome.”

As for the Tigers attack, Sailer pointed to a 13-6 edge in draw controls in the second half as a pivotal factor in the contest. “I thought George was phenomenal with them, with the one-hand grabs and the balance,” said Sailer of junior star George, who had seven draw controls to go with her five goals. Sailer likes the way Chanenchuk adds balance to the Princeton offense. “Colby has really come on, she had a great game finding those opportunities to get inside and get the goals,” said Sailer. “She is sure in front of the cage; it has been nice to see her progression this year.” With No. 13 Princeton defeating Columbia 22-16 to improve to 10-5 overall and 6-1 Ivy League and clinch the league regular season title, the Tigers will get to stay at Class of 1952 Stadium this weekend as

they host the Ivy postseason tourney. “It is so much fun to play on ’52 under the lights; it is an electric atmosphere here,” said Sailer, whose squad faces fourth-seeded Columbia in the semis on May 4 with the victor advancing to the title game on May 6 between the winner of the Penn-Dartmouth semi. “I felt that the crowd tonight was great and we have had some really great mid-week games here. Today we put the hammer down, that was good to see.” Ch a n e n chu k, for h e r par t, is conf ident t hat she and her teammates can keep playing great lacrosse. “We want to ride this high as much as we can and keep pushing,” said Chanenchuk. “Obviously we still have stuff to learn from this game. We will watch the film and check out our mistakes. We definitely want to keep this confidence going into the tournament.” —Bill Alden

The Tigers will now host the Ivy postseason tournament, facing fourth-seeded Columbia in the semis on May 4 with the victor advancing to the title game on May 6 between the winner of the Penn-Dartmouth semi.

PHS Boys’ Lax Showing Progress; Hoping for Another Deep MCT Run Play i ng at u ndefe ate d Hightstown last Friday, the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team faced an uphill battle. “We were a little strapped, we had some guys injured,” said PHS head coach Chip Casto, whose team brought a three-game winning streak into the contest. “Ian Jacobs is out, Jay Jackson is out. That team is talented and physical; they are a very good team.” W hile Hightstow n dis played that talent by jumping out to an 8-3 halftime lead, the Little Tigers weren’t fazed. “At halftime, we not trying

to do anything different, it was just going back to basics,” recalled Casto. “There was no panic, it was let’s get the first score and get the second one.” PHS followed that plan, scoring two straight goals to open the second half and make it an 8-5 contest but the Rams responded with a 3-1 run to end the quarter and never looked back on the way to a 16-8 win. “If we could have gotten it to 8-6, I think something changes maybe,” lamented Casto. “They got it to 9-5; it made it a little tougher and with a small squad, you get

worn out. Guys are playing positions that they are not used to, but that is no excuse.” PHS sophomore midfielder Dylan Westerman showed toughness, playing through pain to tally a team-high four goals. “He is picking it up, he is a little banged up, but he can shoot,” said Casto, who got two goals apiece from Evan Filion and Alex Park in the loss to the Rams. With PHS having a history of saving its best for last, Casto is hoping his squad can pick things up down the stretch. “Once we get Ian back, people can go back to their natural spots and it will give us a chance to get better,” said Casto. “We are getting better really slowly but we haven’t had that big jump. We keep waiting for that big jump.” With the Mercer County Tournament starting this week and PHS, now 5-7, getting seeded fourth and slated to host a quarterfinal contest on May 5, Casto is hoping that the Little Tigers can jump into a semifinal matchup against top-seeded Hightstown. “We’re just talk ing as coaches and hopefully we see them again in that 4-1 matchup in the county tournament,” said Casto, who guided the Little Tigers to the MCT title game last spring. “We see what they had in terms of maybe playing them again. We see who they are and who they have.” —Bill Alden

Led by Triumvirate of Singles Standouts, PHS Boys’ Tennis Ties for 2nd at MCT Noah Lilienthal was back where he belonged as he competed for the Princeton High boys’ tennis team last week as the Mercer County Tournament. After winning the MCT title at first singles as a freshman in 2015 and then taking second the next year, Lilienthal took a hiatus from the PHS team last spring due to other commitments. The skilled senior lefty returned to the team and playing in his final MCT, he advanced to the first singles final in the stadium court last Thursday at the Mercer County Park’s tennis complex. “I have had a lot of success here, so coming here, I remember all of the memories from when I was a freshman,” said Lilienthal, who his headed to Wesleyan University to play for its men’s tennis program. “There are a lot of positive things even when I just practice here.” One of the positives for Lilienthal is the raucous atmosphere at the stadium courts for big matches. “There are only a couple of tournaments where you get a crowd, and I love playing here with the guys cheering you on,” added Lilienthal. There were a lot of cheers in the air as Lilienthal faced Brown-bound Robert Sinia-

kowicz of WW/P-South in the championship match. The two produced some riveting tennis with Siniakowicz prevailing 6-4, 6-4. “We know each other so well; it came down to just a few points,” said Lilienthal. “He won the big points; that is what put him over the edge today, whereas I could have been more intense and could have played with more margin. Credit to him, he played better tennis.” One court over at the stadium, PHS junior Jerry Gu, who has also returned to the Little Tiger program after a hiatus last spring, produced some brilliant tennis, winning the second singles title, pulling out a 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 triumph over Matthew Michibata of WW/PSouth. “It has been special to interact with my fellow teammates; I am so happy that I got this win today here,” said a smiling Gu, reflecting on coming back to the team and earning the title, his first county crown. Overcoming Michibata required a special effort by Gu. “It was ‘serve big, grind, and just be really solid,’” said Gu. “In the third set, it was just ‘regroup, don’t think about the second set too much and just start fresh.’ I came out and

I broke his serve right away, and I got a good momentum going, and I was able to keep it for the whole match.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert, whose squad tied WW/PNorth for second in the team standings behind champion WW/P-South, liked the way her players kept grinding at the tourney. “I thought they played really well, it was great having all of the singles players make the finals,” said Hibbert, who got a second place finish from senior Kevin Yang at third singles. “They all worked really hard.” While Lilienthal’s hard work didn’t result in a title, Hibbert liked the way he competed. “Noah unfortunately didn’t have his best day today,” said Hibbert. “His game was a little bit off but it was a very high quality match.” At second singles, Gu showed his quality. “Jerry played great, he fought really hard to come back in that third set,” said Hibbert. “He started off really strong and in the second set, it was close, but it kind of got away from him a little bit, but he refocused tremendously well. He was very focused, he worked really hard. He played some great tennis right at the end; that is a great win for him.” Yang, who was topped 6-1, 6-3 by Alex Yang of WW/PSouth, also had a strong performance. “Kevin played really well today,” said Hibbert. “He played a good semifinal match and unfortunately he ran into a tough opponent today in the final. He was very competitive in the beginning of the sets.” Showing some competitive fire, the PHS second doubles pair of Aryaman Babber and Sameer Joshi reached the semis and ended up fourth while the first doubles duo of Richard Yang and Simon Hwang got knocked out in the second round in a tough three-set defeat. “They are still working on getting their rhythm together as they haven’t played that many matches,” said Hibbert of her second doubles team. “They worked hard and they improved in their third match. It was a little disappointing for us the way it worked out with first doubles because our first doubles gave North a much better match than they got in the semifinal today. Overall, everyone had a good tournament.” Looking ahead to the state tournament, Hibbert believes her team can do some damage. “We have a very strong singles lineup and first doubles is really powerful; we just need to have the consistency to work with them,” said Hibbert. “There is a lot of good teams in the area and the state; we have to play well.” Lilienthal, for his part, feels that PHS has the talent to compete with anybody it faces. “I have some things to improve on; all of our singles guys have a lot of things to improve on,” said Lilienthal. “We need to get our doubles playing well as a team, those points are really crucial. If we can put all of the pieces of the puzzle together, I don’t see why we can’t beat the top teams in the state. From top to bottom, we have junior sectional and national level players, which a lot of teams don’t have.” —Bill Alden

Af ter put ting toget her a 14-2 record on the way to the state Prep A title in 2017, the Hun School softball team struggled in the early going this spring. Hun went 1-4 in its first five games, including losses to Lawrenceville, W W/PSouth and Blair Academy, as it failed to display the sharp play that was a constant last spring. Coming into a rematch with Lawrenceville on April 19, Gigi Venizelos and her teammates were primed to get on the right track. “We were looking over them the first time; we were looking ahead to Blair and then we came out and got our butts kicked,” said Venizelos. “We had to refocus ourselves and take a step back and take this game by game. We were very motivated.” Trailing the Big Red on a rainy day, Hun stormed back to earn an 8-4 win and get on the right track. “We were not looking over them,” said Venizelos. “We have gotten past that, which is really, really good.” Last week, Hun looked really good as it rolled to a 16-0 win over Princeton Day School on April 24. “I think our team did a really good job today coming out from the start of warmups,” said Venizelos, who scored three runs in the win with a hit and an RBI. “I thought it was the best warmup we had all year; that was something we have been talking about as a team. We want to come out hard from the second we step on that field and we did that today.” Having moved into the leadoff hitter spot for Hun after the graduation of star Julie Fassl, Venizelos is looking jump-start the Raiders offensively. “Last year I was a three hitter so leadoff is a new thing for me,” said Venizelos “I love hitting leadoff; I get to see as any pitches as I can, I get more at bats. I have the chance to do what I can for the team to help us succeed.” In the field, Venizelos has seized the chance to make an impact at shortstop. “Last year I was a little nervous, especially as a freshman coming up,” said Venizelos. “I didn’t play shortstop, that was a new position for me. I had played third base for travel. It is one of those things. It took a little bit of time and now I am comfortable with it. I trust myself

more.” Hun head coach Kathy Quirk believes that her players started to trust themselves in the wake of the victory over Lawrenceville. “That was a huge win for us and I think it gave us confidence that we are able to hit the ball,” said Quirk. “We struggled down on their field, but ever y time we bring them here, it is always a good game. The girls rose to the occasion.” Quirk credits Venizelos with rising to the occasion on a daily basis. “Gigi is just a great kid,” said Quirk. “She is coachable, she is fun to watch, she plays hard, and she plays to win.” With Hun edging Blair 3-2

last Saturday to improve to 6-4, Quirk sees a lot of wins on the horizon for her squad. “As much as they jell and they are great kids, we just struggled coming together,” said Quirk. “I think we have finally gotten it and they are finally believing in themselves. They are a great bunch of kids and they make coaching enjoyable.” Venizelos, for her part, is confident that the Raiders will keep things together the rest of the spring. “It was just a mental game at first. I think we are mentally in it now,” said Venizelos. “That win against Lawrenceville put us up to that next level. Now we are ready to play every team that we face.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Ruddy’s Emergence as Defensive Leader, Hun Boys’ Lacrosse Advances to Prep A Title Game In his first two seasons with the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team, Jack Ruddy soaked up some valuable lessons from star defender Chris Fake. “I was fortunate enough to have Chris Fake with me; he was my leader,” said Ruddy of Fake, who is now starting as a freshman for the top-ranked Yale men’s lax team. “He paved the way and showed me the work ethic that I need to have.” Applying that work ethic, junior Ruddy has emerged as a star defender and cocaptain for Hun this spring. Last Monday, Ruddy demonstrated his leadership when top-seeded Hun yielded two straight first quarter goals to fifth-seeded Blair Academy in the state Prep A semis to see a 3-0 lead shrink to a one goal margin. “We weren’t communicating early but we noticed it,” said Ruddy. “We knew how to fix it. It was just be more aggressive, get on ground balls and talk. We said we have to pick it up; we have got to start getting it going.” Hun’s aggressive defense stifled the Buccaneers from that point, allowing only one more goal on the day in cruising to an 11-3 win. The Raiders, now 7-2, will host third-seeded Lawrenceville in the Prep A title game on May 7. In reflecting on the team’s recent surge, which has seen it post five straight wins and give up just 15 goals in those games, Ruddy believes the defense has come together. “We have been playing a lot better; we have become more of a unit,” said Ruddy. “We have become closer; a lot of it is communicating and just hustle, getting on ground balls, and doubling quickly. We are just having fun with it.” As a team captain along with senior defender Jake

Keller and senior midfielder Devon Tavani and senior attackman Devon Cowan, Ruddy is having fun with his leadership role. “It is a lot of responsibility; I love these guys that I am playing with so they make that job a lot easier,” said Ruddy. “I am just happy to be a captain.” Making steady progress during his time at Hun, Ruddy has worked hard to do a better job on the field. “I had slow feet coming in and coach [MV] Whitlow helped me notice my weakness,” said Ruddy, who has verbally committed to attend Johns Hopkins and play for its men’s lax program. “I have worked with the jump rope and doing the ladder drills.” Hun head coach Whitlow likes how his players have taken care of business this spring. “ I ’m h a p p y w i t h t h e g uys, t hey work hard,” said Whitlow. “They are a great group and they are a tight knit group. They are a group that believes in each other.” Whitlow is happy to see Ruddy step up as a defensive stalwart. “Jack has definitely come along as a communicator; he has got two great teammates beside him in Brett Renna and Jake Keller to help him,” said Whitlow. “He has emerged as a leader; he is finding his leadership voice. That is what you like to see out of

a junior. It is always nice when you have a junior captain because there it that continuity of coming back.” On offense, the Raiders have come along nicely, featuring a diversified attack. “I think balance is the key word; we are not looking to focus on one guy,” said Whitlow, who got four goals from Grant Hansen in the win over Blair with Jackson Barletta and Trevor Deubner chipping in two apiece. “Coach [Jeffrey ] Snow does a great job with the offense. He really emphasizes selflessness and moving the ball. We always count our goals as team goals, not individual goals.” Whitlow and the Raiders are fired up to be in position to achieve their goal of a Prep A title. “We always want a chance at a championship; the goal every year is to be playing your best lacrosse in May,” said Whitlow, whose team hosts Hill School (Pa.) in a regular season game on May 2 before taking on the Big Red. “We will be very excited and honored to be there.” Ruddy, for his part, believes that Hun is at its best heading into the championship clash with Big Red, who have won two straight Prep A titles after the Raiders took the crown in 2015. “We are going to give it our best shot,” said Ruddy. “We have been working really hard all off season and all season. We are playing hard, we are playing fast, and we are looking to get that state championship back.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Decker Enjoys MCT Swan Song, Helping PDS Boys’ Tennis Finish 6th Overall Lex Decker savored things as he competed in the Mercer County Tournament last week in his final season with the Princeton Day School boys’ tennis team. “It has been quite a career, quite a four years for me,” said Decker. “I love coming here to the these courts.” Decker did well again at the Mercer Count y Park tennis complex, posting straight-set wins in the preliminary round matches at first singles on April 23 to advance to the semis on Thursday. Things didn’t go in the final rounds as Decker lost to Noah Lilienthal of Princeton High in the semis and then battled hard in the the third place match before falling in straight sets to Nolan Shah of WW/P-North. “Unfortunately it didn’t work our for me today, but I was happy with the way I played, especially in the second match,” said Decker, whose fourth place finish in his flight helped PDS take sixth in the team standings at the event which was won by WW/P-South. “I don’t think I was there 100 percent mentally in the first set. Nolan wasn’t playing as aggressive in the first set, he was playing more defensive, hitting more slices.

In the second set, he started to pick up his game and I upped my game as well.” Decker kept playing hard to the end in the second set, coming up with a service break to momentarily stave off defeat. “Tennis is an up and down game, it is 5-2 and he made a couple of errors and that gave me a little motivation to push forward,” recalled Decker. “I got that double fault to get to 3-5. He just played a solid game at the end. He is a really nice kid; it was joy to play him.” PDS head coach Will Asch credited Decker with doing a nice job on several levels. “Lex is a great fighter, a consistent player, and a good competitor; he has a lot of tools,” said Asch. “He never stops fighting. He was behind and he came back and won a couple of games. It looked like he was going to turn it around and then Nolan started to raise the level of his game. Both of them were playing better than they had in the first set, and then Nolan found another gear to win the match.” Senior Vivek Sharma came through to win the consolation draw at second singles. “It was a good win. It was revenge too because he had lost to this young man from Hun (Mehmet Koksal) before,” said Asch. “It was a tough match and that makes him mentally stronger.” The PDS first doubles pair of freshman Aaron Chu and

senior Riley Gudgel showed how good they can be in w inning the consolation draw in their flight. “Doubles was really great because we have a freshman Aaron Chu there, and each match he is getting better,” said Asch. “Riley knows how to play, but the other boy is just learning how to play doubles. He hits a beautiful ball, but there is a lot more to it and you can’t just hit ground strokes. You have to hit your overheads, play at the net, and you have to run like the older kids.” With the state Prep B tournament taking place later this month, Asch believes that success in the MCT should help steel his players for that competition. “They play in a tournament like this and they win some matches and they feel more confident,” said Asch. “It gets them experience winning under pressure, it is good. I think we have a good chance. It is going to be a battle for sure.” In Decker’s view, the Panthers will be ready to battle as they try to regain the Prep B crown after finishing second last spring to break a streak of four straight titles. “Our team has a lot of g o o d f ig hte r s ; ou r t wo freshmen, Aaron Chu and Aaron Phogat are fighters,” said Decker, who is planning to do a post-graduate year to sharpen his game before playing college tennis. “I think these guys getting the opportunity to be in pressure situations here is critical for them going into Prep B.” —Bill Alden

Elon Tuck man has hit some major milestones this spring in his senior season w it h t he P r inceton Day School boys’ lacrosse team but he isn’t dwelling on personal stats. While he is proud to have achieved both 100-goal and 200-point career marks in the 2018 campaign, Tuckman is focused more on collective goals for the Panthers. “It is a team sport,” said senior attacker Tuckman. “All I have my mind on and all that we have had our minds on since the beginning of the year was to get a championship back to our school and hang another banner.” L ast T hursday against visiting Academy of New Church (Pa.), the Panthers showed championship mettle as they rallied rallied from an early 4-1 deficit to knot the game at 6-6 and force overtime. “Our team rallies around each other; we have the word ‘together’ on the back of our shirts for a reason,” said Tuckman. “So if it is me, if it is Jake [Bennett], it if is Jack [Konopka] if it is Coby [Auslander], we are always together and we are always working hard. One guy jumpstarts the offense and the other guy backs him up. All six guys on attack are helping each other and working hard.” While PDS ended up falling 7-6 to ANC in quadruple overtime, Tuckman saw value in the effort. “The whole season, we tell everyone that the regular season doesn’t matter,” said Tuckman, who tallied a goal and three assists in the defeat. “We would rather take a loss in March than in May; we are always looking forward to playoffs.” On Monday, the Panthers suffered a tough playoff loss as second-seeded PDS fell 8-4 to third-seeded Lawrenceville in the state Prep

A semis with Tuckman tallying a goal and an assist in a losing cause. The Panthers, who dropped to 7-5 with the loss to the Big Red, will now look for ward to competing in the Mercer County Tournament. PDS, which has won two straight MCT titles, is seeded second and will host a quarterfinal contest on May 5. Tuckman and his fellow seniors are determined to

achieve one more milestone together. “I am just hoping that we can string a couple of games together and that we can peak at the right time,” said Tuckman, who is headed to Gettysburg College where he will play for its men’s lax program. “Staying healthy is a big thing, but it is just playing our best ball at the right time. We want to go out with a bang; we all have each other’s backs. It is a very tight knit senior class. We just want to go out on top.” —Bill Alden

Lorraine Tams Having grown up in Trenton during the Great Depression, Lorraine had a life-long appreciation for the simple things in life: love of family, nature, music, and words. She graduated Trenton High School in 1940 and became a legal secretary at a local firm, where she met her future husband, Theodore T. Tams, Jr. A law school student at the time, “Bud” was immediately smitten by the young lady behind the front desk. Married in 1948, Lorraine and Bud raised six children, enjoyed ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Lorraine immersed her children in beauty and nature, sitting us in her lap on the upstairs balcony to teach us constellations, always starting with the North Star to blaze paths through night skies. Lorraine looked to nature to define beauty and heal illness, growing flowers for

bouquets, harvesting berries for “Tams Jams,” and drying herbs for tonics. She collected cookbooks, read poems to us aloud, and wrote her own. Lorraine earned her broker’s license and sold Princeton-area real estate for more than three decades. She held old friends close and charmed new ones at every pass. Her beautiful singing voice graced various choirs, including St. Paul Church and Rossmoor Chorus. Even as most other memories abandoned her, she always remembered how to be a hostess and the lyrics to favorite songs. She loved her husband and children unconditionally, and nursed Bud through 25 years of a debilitating illness, later addressing her own degenerating health with pragmatism and grace. A loving wife, nurturing mother, adoring grandmother, and proud great-grandmother, Lorraine Tams died peacefully at her home, with her family there, at the age of 94. Lorraine was predeceased by Theodore T. Tams, Jr. and daughter Ruth F. Tams. She is survived by her children, Simon (Daren) Tams, Georgia (Hugh) Tams, Colin (Deborah) Tams, Brian (Laurie) Tams, and Daphne (Kent) Ireland; grandchildren Ingrid, Lilia, Andria, Christian, Caroline, Leah, Sean, Claire, Larissa, and Gavin; and great- grandchildren Nicolas and Noah. Lorraine was a champion blood donor for the American Red Cross, and a member of Springdale Golf Club, Nassau Club, Garden Club, Present Day Club, Coldwell Banker Schlott, St. Paul’s Church, Herb Society of A mer ica, and Rossmoor Chorus. On Monday, May 21, 2018, visitation 9:30 — 10:30 a.m. at Kimble Funeral Home, Princeton, followed by a memorial mass at St. Paul Church, Princeton at 11 a.m. and burial at Princeton Cemetery. Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.

Selling a home is a busy process. Not only are you preparing to move all your stuff from your old house, but you’re also probably looking for a new place to call home and you’re doing it at the same time. That’s a lot of juggling, and sometimes, it may seem like scheduling and prepping for an open house is one task too many; after all, plenty of homes sell without open houses, so why should you bother having one? The fact is, open houses offer significant benefits in certain price ranges. Not only can you attract multiple sellers in a single day (which means less scheduling for individual showings), you also create a sense of competition and urgency that can work in your favor. How? Because when one potential buyer sees another potential buyer - or sometimes several - looking at the same property, they’ll feel far more motivated to make an offer to avoid losing the home to someone else. Plus, open houses can provide lots of feedback that can help you identify little “tweaks” that could help your home be more attractive and marketable. Bottom line: Instead of thinking of an open house as a hassle, think of it as an opportunity to sell faster and for a better price.
