At a meeting on April 25, Princeton Council voted unanimously to hire a consultant to take a hard look at residential zoning in the town. The priority of The RBA Group’s Neighborhood Character and Zoning Study will be the issue of teardowns, which are taking place in just about every area of the town. The study is in response to concerns of residents and local officials that houses falling victim to the wrecking ball are being replaced by new homes that, while conforming to zoning regulations, are out of character with their neighborhoods. “There is a need for us to do comprehensive planning,” said Mayor Liz Lempert a few days after the Council meeting. “And the timing works well with the fact that we are harmonizing our zoning ordinances [of the former Borough and Township prior to consolidation]. We see on the ground, in almost every neighborhood, the motivation for why we need to take a step back and review what the laws are on the books. We need to know whether they are in line with the vision we have for our community.” A group of Council and Planning Board members has been meeting to discuss the scope of the project. The committee chose The RBA Group, in part, because of the work they have done on a similar issue in Haddonfield. Council candidate Tim Quinn, a Planning Board member who was a member of the group, said RBA’s proposal calls for considerable community input. Continued on Page 15

University Removes Wilson Dining Hall Mural
A large mural depicting the image of Woodrow Wilson was removed Saturday from the dining hall of Wilson College at Princeton University, at the behest of Wilson College Head Eduardo Cadava. In accepting the recommendation of a student committee assigned to consider the demand for removal of the mural made by the Black Justice League during its Nassau Hall sit-in last fall, Mr. Cadava reflected on the difficulties involved in considering the mixed legacy, both progressive and racist, of Wilson, who served as Princeton president and New Jersey governor, as well as U.S. president. Describing the mural — an enlarged photograph overlaid in reddish orange, which depicts Wilson throwing out the first pitch at a 1915 Washington Senators baseball game — as “not in keeping with the spirit of Wilson College’s founding wish to have Princeton be a place that is truly diverse and inclusive, and one that embraces, respects, and values all its members,” Mr. Cadava suggested that the mural be replaced with a “visual representation that embodies the college’s unique history in relation to issues of inclusion and diversity.” There are no specific plans yet for a new mural. The Wilson mural was originally installed in 2009 as part of a renovation of the dining hall. In 1957 students founded Wilson Lodge in reaction against the exclusionary policies of the Princeton eating clubs. The University opened Wilcox Hall and the New Quad dormitories in 1960 in honor of Wilson’s idea of establishing a residential college system at Princeton, and in 1968
Wilson became the first of the University’s six residential colleges. Mr. Cadava noted that Wilson College was founded by students “as part of a stance against elitism and exclusion.” A Difficult Decision
In their research and deliberations, the 12 members of the Wilson Mural Committee, all Wilson College undergraduates, attended events of the trustees’ Wilson Legacy Committee, read scholarly reports on Wilson, conducted interviews with members of Wilson College and
organized a public discussion at the College. “The decision-making process on the mural was thus student-driven from beginning to end,” the committee members wrote in a letter to the Daily Princetonian, “from the student activists who initiated this important conversation to the student committee members and the many other students whose input we sought through a public meeting earlier this month and Continued on Page 14
School Board Seeks State Review Of PARCC Graduation Requirements As New Jersey public school students completed the 2016 PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) exams last week, the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education passed a resolution urging the New Jersey Department of Education (DOE) to “withdraw its pending graduation requirement proposals.” The PPS Board firmly opposed the state proposal to use 2015 PARCC test results as part of the graduation requirement for this year’s seniors, urging that requirements be suspended pending further consideration during this multi-year transition period. In its resolution the Board further noted that the new graduation requirements do not conform to existing state law and that school districts, parents and students were not given adequate and fair notice of the change. The new state proposal would require
graduating students to achieve a minimum passing score on PARCC, which was administered for the first time last year and resulted in a less than 50 percent passing rate statewide. DOE press secretary David Saenz stated that during the next four transition years the DOE proposal allows several alternatives to a passing score on the PARCC for graduating seniors, including, among others, an acceptable score on the SAT, the ACT, the PSAT or the option of a portfolio appeal process. The DOE proposal, which phases out all other options to the PARCC by 2021, except for the portfolio appeal, is currently in the midst of a sixty-day public comment period, after which the state Board of Education will edit and revise the proposal and push for adoption by August or September.

The Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI), housed at Princeton University, is hosting a symposium Saturday, May 7, on the college education of incarcerated individuals. The event is in honor of PTI’s 10 years of teaching collegeaccredited courses in New Jersey’s state prisons. The 10 year anniversary event will feature educators from across the country involved in teaching incarcerated students. Doug Wood of the Ford Foundation, a leading funder and evaluator of prison teaching programs, is the keynote speaker. Formerly incarcerated students currently enrolled at Rutgers University also will speak. A full program is available on the PTI website. Over the past decade, PTI volunteer faculty have taught college-accredited classes to over 700 students across New Jersey prisons. PTI was founded by members of Princeton’s department of astrophysics, who began by teaching college-level algebra in prisons. Today, PTI volunteers teach collegeaccredited courses in over a dozen disciplines, including English, Arabic, Latin, religion, sociology, biology, ecology, philosophy, and astronomy. PTI is now part of the Princeton Program in Teacher Preparation. PTI aims to reduce incarceration rates in New Jersey by increasing access to postsecondary education in state prisons. PTI is committed to providing both rigorous coursework and academic support to all incarcerated students. PTI is a founding member of Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons (NJ-STEP). The symposium will be held from 2 to 9 p.m., Saturday, May 7, at Princeton University’s Carl Fields Center, Room 104. The Fields Center is located at 58 Prospect Avenue. The event is free and open to the public. Anyone interested in attending should RSVP by emailing Becky Day at becky_day_nj@ yahoo.com.
Correction The Profiles in Education article on Steve Kramer in last week’s Town Topics stated that Steve performed in the movie Whiplash. He did not actually perform, but there is a character in the movie named after him.

Communities, said prices for the 224 market-priced units will likely range from just under $2,000 for a studio to the low $4,000’s for a three-bedroom townhouse. A not her 56 apar t m ent s are set aside for affordable housing.
TOPICS Of the Town “When AvalonBay picks a community, they’re committed to that community,” Mr. Ladell told the audience, which included some local residents who have disputed several aspects of the project since its proposal nearly five years ago. He recalled that while the plan for the rental complex conformed with zoning regulations, the town’s Planning Board voted against it in 2012. That led the company to sue. “We settled it, revised the community, and went back and got a project approved,” he said, adding it was unfortunate that tax dollars were spent to fight the project. A revised proposal was approved in 2013. AvalonBay Communities has 285 developments in various American markets where it is difficult to get approvals. “We like that because there’s no competition,” Mr. Ladell said. The company currently has $3.7 billion in projects under construction, he said. Av a lon P r i n ce ton w i l l have 23 studios, 100 onebedroom apartments, 129 t wo - b e d r o o m u n i t s, 28 3 - b e d r o om ap a r t m e nt s, and 12 two-bedroom and three-bedroom townhouses with attached garages. The townhouses will be located on Franklin Avenue. The pool on-site will open Memorial Day 2017, but other amenities will be available earlier. Asked where he expects future tenants to come from, Mr. Ladell said, “Far and wide.” He anticipates a mix of young and middle-aged people who are opting to become home-renters rather than home-owners. “Just about everybody who lives in an AvalonBay community can afford to buy but they choose to rent,” he said. Asked by architect Joshua Zinder how a disastrous fire in January 2015 at AvalonBay’s Edgewater complex has affected construction of the Princeton project, Mr.
Ladell said that though not required by law, the company is building masonry firewalls and a fire sup pression system, not only in Princeton but in all of the communities currently under construction. Avalon Princeton will have its own leasing office, located at first in the basement of an existing office building on the site and moving in November or December to Building One. There may be some short-term rentals and furnished apartments available, “if there is a demand,” Mr. Ladell said. Building Two will be the first to open in late summer, followed 60 to 90 days later by Building One. Both are mid-rise four story structures. —Anne Levin

In the six months since Sustainable Princeton, the Princeton Merchants Association and McCaffrey’s Market began a plastic bag recycling program, seven tons of plastic has been diverted from being dumped in landfills. This statistic was among several delivered to Princeton Council at its April 25 meeting during a report on the “Learn Your ABC’s” bring-your-own bag campaign that was launched to reduce the number of single-use disposable bags distributed in Princeton. The idea is to divert plastic packaging films and single-use plastic bags from the landfill. At McCaffrey’s, there was a 10 percent increase in bag refunds during the first three months of the campaign compared to the same period in 2014, store director Lou Campo told the governing body. The store purchased 94,000 less single-use plastic bags in the period between September to December 2015, as compared to the same time span the year before. McCaffrey’s, which has been collecting and recycling from customers and back-ofhouse operations for several years, is one of 13 locations in town that collect plastic packaging film and bags. In addition to the market, stores include the Whole Earth Center, the Princeton University Store, Terhune Orchards, and the Princeton Farmers’ Market (Thursdays in Hinds Plaza). Municipal locations are 400 Wither-
spoon Street, 1 Monument Drive, 303 John Street and the River Road Convenience Center. Princeton Senior Resource Center, Mercer Street Fr iends in Trenton, The Jewish Center of Princeton, and Littlebrook Elementary School are the other sites. In addition to supermarket bags, several other types of plastic bags and films can be recycled including newspaper, bread, food storage, ice, pellet, produce, dry cleaning, and salt bags; wraps for napkins, paper towels, bathroom tissue and diapers; cereal box liners; plastic wraps that encase bottled beverages; and bubble wrap. The program urges merchants to ask patrons if they have brought their own bags, and if they need a bag, before offering them one. Once collected, the bags and films are taken to McCaffrey’s by staff and volunteers, counted and loaded onto trucks. The materials are shipped to Trex, a Virginia-based company that recycles them into decking lumber. The lumber is then sold at major retailers. “We’re encouraging people to do the right thing,” said John Marshall, president of the Princeton Merchants Association. Plans for expanding the campaign call for more locations for dropping off bags, work with the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce to increase awareness, and a free outdoor bench to be donated by Trex for Community Park Pool.
“The first step of the program is to encourage the reduction,” Christine Symington, Sustainable Princeton’s Energy Director, said this week. “The campaign will increase its impact by having more stores encourage the use of reusable bags through incentives like a bag refund, or just by asking people if they need a bag. We want every merchant in town to help to reduce the consumption.” Those behind the campaign have learned that a lot of what is getting recycled by merchants are plastic films that are used in the back of the stores. “So if more were able to collect that and bring it to McCaffrey’s, then it wouldn’t have to be thrown to the landfill,” Ms. Symington said. The community’s response to the program is encouraging. “I think it’s a good trend,” Ms. Symington said. “It seems like the campaign has had an impact, with the reduction aspect. At least at McCaffrey’s, there seems to be a positive trend. I think we can be proud of the numbers we’ve seen so far.” —Anne Levin

REMEMBERING
FOUNDING MOTHER EVELYN LANDAU 1917 - 2011
Hi! I wanted to share a story with you. I work for LLBean in Marlton, NJ. Today I had a lovely older customer named Mrs. Coyne and while I was taking care of her we began chatting about old fashioned customer service. She paused to ask if I had ever heard of your store and of course I had. She smiled as she remembered how as a young woman freshly emigrated from Ireland she had been in Landaus in about 1955 admiring a sweater when “the owner asked me if I would like to try it on, and I thanked her but told her although it was the most beautiful sweater I had ever seen, I didn’t have enough money.” She said Mrs. Landau had told her that would be no problem at all, she would open a charge for her and took her to a box where she wrote all of Mrs. Coynes information on a card. There was no physical charge plate or charge card…just the box. Mrs. Coyne said that she was blown away by Mrs. Landau’s unexpected kindness in trusting her, a stranger from another country, to return and make payments, and how she dutifully returned every week to pay a few dollars on the sweater and never forgot Mrs. Landau’s great kindness and how she treated every customer as if she were the most important customer in the world. I thought it was a great story and that you’d like to know!

Masala Grill to Close Restaurant But Continue Catering Operation After more than 20 years, Masala Grill at 19 Chambers Street will close its doors this weekend. The restaurant will stop serving eat-in lunch and dinner on Friday, May 13, but will hold an open house Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. Owner Suchitra Patel said the reason for closing was a large increase in rent. “It has more than doubled since we started, and a letter we got a month ago asked for a very high increase,” she said. “It wasn’t what we expected.” Ms. Patel said the catering and take-out business will continue from a small kitchen close to Princeton. “You wouldn’t notice any difference in our delivery service,” reads a release from the eatery titled “Goodbye to our loyal customers, trusted neighbors and friends.” “For over 20 years I’ve loved being par t of the Princeton community,” the letter reads. “It’s with a heavy heart that I have to let you know that we are forced to leave our home at 19 Chambers Street. While I am sad that this is how it will come to an end, I am beyond thankful to this community for giving us a home for over two decades.” Ms. Patel is explor ing bringing Masala Grill to more festivals and local events and encourages people to sign up for updates at mgprinceton.com or visit her Facebook page, where she plans to add recipes. “To the friends I will miss dropping by and having a chat with, please don’t be a stranger,” the letter reads. “I ver y much value your friendship and hope it will continue even if our meeting spot may be gone.” Also scheduled to close is Jordan’s, the stationery and novelty store that has been a fixture at Princeton Shopping Center for 34 years. The store’s lease is not being renewed. A petition signed
by 132 people as of early this week is being sent to EDENS, the owners of the shopping center, at their offices in Princeton and Columbia, South Carolina. “Modest as it may be, Jordan’s has made itself irreplaceable to the Princeton community, not least because of its convenience, its wide selection of affordable items and its responsiveness to the varying needs of a diverse and multinational community,” the petition reads. “At a time when the Princeton Shopping Center has so many vacant stores, it seems to us absurd and counter-productive to force Jordan’s out of the shopping center. We urge management to reconsider. Doing so would, we assure them, earn the gratitude of a great many of those who live and work in Princeton.” —Anne Levin
TruckFest Raises Funds For 2 Service Organizations
The third annual Princeton TruckFest held in early April raised more than $33,000 for two local organizations, Meals On Wheels and Send Hunger Packing. Organized by the Community Service Inter-Club Council of Princeton University’s 11 eating clubs, the event attracted more than 5,000 people to
Prospect Avenue, where the eating clubs are located. There were 15 food trucks participating. The four topselling trucks were Maddalena’s Cheesecake Company, Nina’s Waffles and Ice Cream, My Four Sons Korean Fusion, and the Princeton University Food Truck. The family-friendly event also included face painting, games toys, and live entertainment from Jon Savage, Sensemaya, the Princeton Universit y Wildcats, and Charlie Baker. T h i s ye a r’s Tr u ck Fe s t Cause committee collected applications from potential local causes and, after a review, decided to support Meals on Wheels and Send Hunger Packing, the same as last year when $24,000 was raised. Meals on Wheels is a non-profit group dedicated to providing meals to homebound individuals; Send Hunger Packing is a partnership between Mercer Street Friends and Princeton Public Schools that provides school-age children from low-income families with the nutrition they need to do their best in school. Sponsors for the event included Princeton Prospect Foundation, Princeton University Campus Life, the PACE Center for Civic Engagement, Landau’s, and many other organizations.

Mailbox Incremental Tax Receipts Should Be Used to Reduce Property Taxes
To the Editor: Press reports have suggested that Princeton University’s tax remittances may increase significantly as a result of a lawsuit challenging the tax exempt status of some of the University’s buildings and activities. The stakes are very high for the University. Its influence is considerable, but the climate is changing and a judge can do whatever he or she wants to do. As we are reminded daily, the “1 percent” are not very popular these days. Connecticut’s efforts to tax Yale’s endowment income suggest that the definition of the “1 percent” is broadening. Given the risk to the University of an adverse ruling, an out of court settlement seems likely. Should there be such a settlement, the magnitude of our towns’ potential tax windfall would be significant. Voters should expect candidates for mayor and Council to specify what they would do with the incremental tax revenues. My own position is simple. Incremental tax receipts, whether resulting from a ruling against the University or from a negotiated settlement, should be used exclusively to reduce property taxes. Millage rates should be reduced to the point at which there would be a dollar for dollar substitution of windfall revenues for existing tax levies. Windfall revenues should not be squandered on new projects and programs. Voters should also expect candidates — at least those of us who are free of conflicts of interest — to express our views as to what an acceptable settlement might look like. Here, too, my position is simple: the negotiation should not be limited to money. Preserving Princeton’s essential small town character is one of my top priorities. I would therefore favor a settlement that includes changes in prospective land use. We might, for example, seek to persuade the University to deed restrict Springdale Golf Course, setting it aside, in perpetuity, as open space — and abandoning the right, conveyed in current zoning, to construct a row of ten story buildings on one of our town’s defining green belts. Thanks in large part to the efforts of Bruce Afran, we seem likely to be offered one of life’s rare opportunities for a redo. Let’s make the most of it. PETEr MArkS Moore Street Editor’s note: Mr. Marks is running for mayor in the Republican primary.
We Need the Unvarnished, Sometimes Unpopular Truths That Jenny Crumiller Is Willing to Articulate
To the Editor: On a recent Saturday afternoon, I saw Jenny Crumiller’s husband Jon at Ace Hardware. He mentioned that they had participated in the “Let It Go: Princeton Community Yard Sale” and that Jenny had decided not to charge for anything. I immediately asked jokingly if they had put up a sign saying “Free stuff! Vote for Jenny!” We then agreed that there is no such thing as “free stuff,” and went our separate ways. This brief conversation reminded me why we need to re-elect Jenny to Princeton Council. “The truth is there is no free parking. Someone has to pay for it,” Jenny said at a Council meeting in September 2015 during a discussion of the costs to the town of providing a subsidy for two hours of free parking to every Princeton Public Library cardholder.
Princeton Council is currently reviewing the budget, looking for ways to cut $150,000 so as to pare down an increase in property taxes. residents should be aware that only about 23 cents of every dollar collected in property taxes goes to the town. The Princeton School Board controls the lion’s share of our tax dollars, more than 50 percent and growing, and Mercer County gets the remainder. The largest increases in property taxes are beyond the control of Princeton Council. We need a frank assessment of the choices available to residents, and Jenny will provide just that. She has an impeccable record of supporting progressive values — visit jennycrumiller.com to read what she has done for Princeton and what her goals are for the future — but we also need the unvarnished and sometimes unpopular truths that Jenny is willing to articulate. Jenny will help us make budget decisions that support our values and get us the most for our money. She will listen to us, tell us the truth, and do her best to make wise decisions for our future. Vote to reelect Jenny Crumiller to Princeton Council! JOAnnA DOUGHErTY Jefferson road
exemplary work at the library during super storm Sandy highlighted his dedication to our town. His leadership was instrumental in keeping the library open during the days following the storm, when thousands of people in Princeton were without power. He brought a similar passion to his work on the Princeton Board of Education and his steadfast leadership during his time as president of the Board helped our school district through a leadership transition, among other challenges. My two daughters, and many other families in town, benefitted from his leadership. Tim is a great listener, collaborator, and values the opinions of others. He is deliberative and gathers information before reaching a conclusion about a particular topic. Having considered an issue, Tim is able to explain complex policy matters in a way that makes sense. His understanding of local institutions, businesses, and Princeton’s history inform all of his work. LInDSEY FOrDEn Mercer Street
Hoping Others Will Agree That Adding A Dog Park Would Benefit the Community
To the Editor: regarding the April 25 Council meeting and the need to resolve the municipal budget, I’m assuming Council members are aware of the April 13 article in U.S. 1 that reported that Princeton’s high property taxes are due partly to the fact that the town has more municipal employees than other area towns. For example, Princeton has one employee for every 127 residents compared to Hamilton which has one worker for every 162 residents. It seems a hiring freeze or rollback is in order for our local government as the council noted. I’d add that a reduction of employees should be achieved before anyone cries out for more money from the University. AnnE WITT Lake Lane
To the Editor: Princeton is a wonderful town and we are all lucky to live here. I’d like to suggest an addition that I feel could benefit the community — a dog park. Many other communities have this resource but the closest entail (no pun intended) a 15-20 minute ride from here. The benefits are many. Besides offering dogs a place to exercise and socialize, an additional gain is the sense of community that a dog park fosters. I strongly feel that this would be a positive feature for Princeton to offer. neither a fenced yard, nor a 3-hour walk offers the benefits of a dog park. I’m hoping that by writing this letter, others who are interested may jump on the bandwagon. The Princeton recreation Department is the office that handles local park offerings. Please speak up if you also may be interested in Princeton opening a dog park. The concentration of resources in local parks seems primarily devoted to athletic fields. no question, this is important. However there are other uses of open space that could also greatly benefit our community. PATTY kOCH Florence Lane
Contrary to Assertions in Recent Letter, There Are Wetland-Safe Versions of the Herbicide Glyphosate
To the Editor: A response [“Another Point of View,” mailbox 4-27] to my letter about the pretty but highly invasive plant known as lesser celandine contained serious errors that need to be corrected. I wish we could always trust someone like Mike McGrath, the host of the You Bet Your Garden radio program mentioned in Ms. Haag’s letter. He may be knowledgeable about gardening, but when he writes about lesser celandine and other invasive species, he can display a seemingly willful ignorance about herbicides and ecology. Contrary to his assertions, there are wetland-safe versions of the herbicide glyphosate available from companies other than Monsanto, and sometimes an aggressively invading plant can be more harmful ecologically than the small, targeted, very dilute and very effective dose of herbicide needed to prevent its spread. Western medicine, which few people are suggesting we do away with, is a useful analogy here. As one who has lived and written about the pleasures of non-chemical methods — using loppers, cardboard, and mulch to vanquish bamboo and English ivy — I usually find ways to avoid herbicides. Lesser celandine is an important exception. STEPHEn HILTnEr north Harrison Street
As Council Has Noted, Hiring Freeze Or Rollback In Order for Local Government
Leticia Fraga Is Uniquely Qualified to Address Some of the Critical Issues Facing Our Community
To the Editor: We are fortunate to have many qualified people running for Council. Leticia Fraga, however, is uniquely qualified to address some of the critical issues facing our community. Affordable housing in Princeton becomes a bigger challenge every year as home prices rise. Working people have already been forced to leave the community because they could no longer afford to live here and the situation is getting worse, not better. Princeton also needs a police and community relations committee to foster dialogue between our citizens and law enforcement. The controversy concerning the recent arrest of a Princeton University professor shows how badly this discussion is needed. To address these needs effectively, Council needs a person with deep roots in the parts of our community that are most affected and understands their needs. That person is Leticia Fraga. She worked tirelessly on these issues and demonstrated the ability to work with people from all walks of life and to get things done. LEWIS MALTBY Stone Cliff road
AARP Volunteer Urges Support For New Jersey Pay Equity Act
To the Editor: Women’s earnings are ever more important to their families. More than 40 percent of children under 18 live in households where the mother is the sole breadwinner. Yet, women still earn 79 cents to every dollar earned by men. This means that women who are often working multiple jobs and caring in many cases for children and older family members, are still not able to provide the financial support needed for their families. It also means that many are not properly able to save for their own retirement futures. As an AArP volunteer, I urge you to support S992, The new Jersey Pay Equity Act. SIGn THE BILL, Governor Chris Christie. To the Editor: I have known Tim Quinn for over a decade and I support ELAInE MUSCHAL his candidacy for Princeton Council. I first met Tim when Hamilton I was working as director of development at Princeton Public Library. It soon became apparent to me that Tim loved Princeton and had a deep understanding of our diverse town. He was equally comfortable interacting with trustees, Town Council, donors, and library customers from all walks of life. He was a strong advocate for providing services to library customers and the town in general. His

through the many thoughtful written comments we received from other students.” The students’ letter continued, “The name Wilson College was chosen for a very specific aspect of Wilson’s legacy: the vision— though it was not achieved in his lifetime—of a more inclusive system of residential colleges, allowing social and intellectual communities to prosper outside of the exclusive club system. As Wilson’s deplorable views and actions have been acknowledged (in a long over-due process),
the question becomes how to honor Wilson’s vision of inclusivity without embracing his prejudice, discrimination and paternalism.” Quoting the Black Justice League’s concern that “the way we lionize legacies sets precedents,” the committee wrote, “How we remember the past matters… symbols matter,” though admitting that “the mural is only a small part of the college, and we hold no illusions that its removal will cure the many structural and social inequities that still plague this school.” The trustees committee, though not mentioning the mural in particular, noted that the lack of diversity in campus iconography “perpetuates a representation of Princeton that is not welcoming to members of the community who come from diverse backgrounds.” Mr. Cadava said that the University community owes a “felt debt” to the Black Justice League for focus-

“What I liked about their proposal is that it includes a really robust public involvement,” he said. “They’ll be doing a full range of community outreach, with small neighborhood meetings and perhaps bigger forums to which people can come out and discuss the issue.” “This is something that is long overdue for Princeton,” Ms. Lempert said. “We see a lot of examples of how the current zoning is not working. Instead of trying to fix it in a piece-by-piece way, I think it can be much more effective if we take a step back, engage the community, and try to get consensus about what we’d like to see.” Current ordinances allow builders to utilize the rules about how tall a building can be to increase the square footage. “The result is barns with unusual roof lines that maximize the interior square footage and result in houses that are out of character for a lot of neighborhoods,” said Mr. Quinn. “I think people recognize that not ever y house is going to be able to be rehabbed and maintained in the way that would allow neighborhoods to remain the same. It’s more a question of what is built next to it. When a much bigger house replaces a house that’s torn down, the smaller house looks out of character.” Developers will be a part of the conversation. “There will be some focus groups and also larger community meetings, and we’re more likely to be successful if we have the developers at the
table and have something that is going to work for everybody,” Ms. Lempert said. “It’s also an opportunity to have the conversation about what the community would like to see.” The study will take into consideration the fact that Princeton is made up of neighborhoods that differ in character. “What is appropriate on Library Place is going to be out of place on Chestnut Street,” Ms. Lempert said. “Landscaping plays different roles in different areas. The consultants will take a really comprehensive look, with community input, at a lot of different variables including streetscape, environmental concerns like stormwater and flooding, and potential economic impacts.” The RBA Group is contracted to be paid no more than $57,258 for professional planning services, to take place between May 2 of this year and May 31, 2017. “This is an opportunity to adopt best practices, update our zoning, and change what’s on our books to better reflect what’s on the ground,” Ms. Lempert said. —Anne Levin

PARCC Requirements continued from page one
The PPS School Board, however, has urged t he DOE to suspend proposed requirements and use the t ransit ion to PA RCC as an opportunity to conduct broader public dialogues about graduation policies and equitable assessments for all students. New Jersey would join only 13 states—down from 25 in 2012—that tie standardized high school exit
tests to graduation requirements, and, according to the Board resolution, is one of only two states in the nation requiring that students achieve a certain score on the new PA RCC assess ments in order to graduate this year. In supporting the School Board ’s resolution, PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane cited a “need to shift the overall conversation in education from one focusing on standardization to one focusing on innovation.” He
called for a new paradigm for education, moving away from the factory model of the 19th century with its view of students as products toward one that “promotes meaningful, engaging and personalized learning.” In urging this paradigm shift, Mr. Cochrane emphasized, “We need to resist reliance on standardized tests as the primary means of assessment and instead foster broad public dialogues about equitable assessments,policies and instructional practices—ones

that open multiple pathways for achieving not just a high school diploma but a life of joy, purpose and true success.” Julia Sass Rubin, a cofounder of Save Our Schools NJ, associate professor of planning and public policy at Rutgers’ Bloustein School and the mother of an eighth grader at John Witherspoon, applauded the PPS Board resolution. “As a parent I absolutely support the resolution and am thrilled that the Princeton School Board took this leadership position,” she said, pointing out that nine other Boards of Education in the state have passed similar resolutions, “and more will surely follow.” S ave O u r S cho ols NJ claims that “high school exit tests increase dropout and incarceration rates. They
especially push low income students and students of color into the school-toprison pipeline. Research also shows exit testing does not improve college participation rates or job prospects for graduates. Exit tests hurt the students who don’t pass and fail to help the students who do.” The district has not released attendance figures for this year’s test, but unconfirmed reports indicate that absenteeism for the PARCC at Princeton High School was high. Mr. Cochrane reported that this year’s PARCC testing “proceeded with remarkable smoothness,” despite a glitch on April 20 during which schools throughout t he state exper ienced a 24-hour delay because of a computer problem originating at the Pearson testing company. Last year nearly 800 of 1164 students in grades nine through eleven de clined to take the PARCC, with only 30 of 370 juniors in attendance. Participation numbers were higher in the elementary and middle school grades. —Donald Gilpin

Spring Sale May 5-8 At Labyrinth Books
Labyrinth Hosts Reading ing, history is invented anew and transformed — a man By Patrice Nganang Labyrinth Books will present a reading by award-winning novelist and Hopewell resident Patrice Nganang from his new novel Mount Pleasant (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) on Tuesday, May 17 at 6 p.m. From the publisher: “In Cameroon in 1931, Sara is taken from her family and brought to Mount Pleasant as a gift for Sultan Njoya, the Bamum leader cast into exile by French colonialists. Just nine years old and on the verge of becoming one of the sultan’s hundreds of wives, her story takes an unexpected turn when she is recognized by Bertha, the slave in charge of training Njoya’s brides, as Nebu, the son she lost years before. In Sara’s new life as a boy she bears witness to the world of Sultan Njoya — a magical yet declining place of artistic and intellectual minds — and hears the story of the sultan’s last days in the Palace of All Dreams and of the sad fate of Nebu, the greatest artist their culture had seen. “Seven decades later, a student returns home to Cameroon to research the place it once was, and she finds Sara, silent for decades, ready to tell her story. In her serpentine tale, a lost kingdom lives again in the compromised intersection between flawed memory, tangled fiction, and faintly discernible truth. In this tell-
awakens from a coma to find the animal kingdom dancing a waltz; a spirit haunts a cocoa plantation; and a sculptor re-creates his lost love in a work of art that challenges the boundary between truth and the ideal.” Patrice Nganang was born in Cameroon and is a novelist, a poet, and an essayist. His novel Temps de chien received the Prix Littéraire Marguerite Yourcenar and the Grand prix littéraire d’Afrique noire. He is also the author of La Joie de vivre and L’Invention d’un beau regard. He teaches comparative literature at Stony Brook University. ———

Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Museum
ART REVIEW
No One Compares: Andy Warhol, Pop, Prince, and the Face of Sinéad O’Connor
T
ime for some free association: if someone says Andy Warhol, what’s the first thing you think of? For me, the word is face, not Warhol’s bland, pallid, never-quite-there visage, anything but that. I’m thinking of the faces he blew up, daubed, and decorated, like Blue Marilyn at the Princeton University Art Museum and the screenprints of Annie Oakley, Sitting Bull, and Alexander the Great, plus the Polaroid portraits of, among others, Pia Zadora, Sylvester Stallone, and Princess Caroline of Monaco on view through July 31 at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Museum in New Brunswick in “More than Fifteen Minutes of Fame: Warhol’s Prints and Photographs.” Warhol Does Rutgers In early March 1966, at the student union several blocks up College Avenue from the Zimmerli, Andy Warhol and his Velvet Underground entourage descended on the student cafeteria where, according to Lou Reed, “the boys and girls flipped out gawking at Nico while Barbara Rubin filmed their reactions and Nat Finkelstein took photographs.” When a security person said “no photographs,” Finkelstein punched him in the nose, precipitating the arrival of the campus cops. Warhol was asked to show a nonexistent cafeteria pass, members of the troupe began screaming, and everyone was thrown out. As a result, that evening’s mixed media event, “Andy Warhol’s Underground New York,” sold out in the next two hours, and some 650 students packed the auditorium at Scott Hall “to see what would happen next.” According to the Velvet’s Sterling Morrison “We were all dressed entirely in white. The effect, with all the films and lights projected on us, was invisibility.” Says Warhol: “It was fantastic to see Nico singing with a big movie of her face right behind her. Gerard [Malanga] was dancing with two long shining flashlights, one in each hand, twirling them like batons …. I was behind one of the projectors, moving images around.” Warhol Meets Prince Not on view at the Zimmerli is Warhol’s print of the star whose image has been beamed around the world since his death at 57 on April 21. The acrylic silkscreen of Prince’s face is done in (what else?) deep purple, with black eyebrows and mustache and hair. The Andy Warhol Diaries has Warhol meeting Prince after his show at Madison Square Garden on August 2, 1986: “We sat down just as Prince jumped out naked, or almost, and it’s the greatest concert I’ve ever seen there, just so much energy and excitement.” At the party after the show, clad in “a white coat and pink bellbottoms, like a Puerto Rican at a prom,” Prince “shook everyone’s hand and danced with each and every girl — all these weird girls in sixties dresses.” The portrait of Prince, like the screenprints of Annie Oakley and Sitting Bull, is among Warhol’s last works. He died six months later in February 1987 due to a series of hospital misadventures following routine gall bladder surgery. Incomparable Getting back to the free-association idea, if someone were to say face or faces to me,
I’d think first of the faces we see in passing in the course of a day, in the market or on the street, most of them strangers intent on some thought or task or emotion; from there I’d flash on the opening stanza of William Blake’s “London”: “I wander thro’ each charter’d street,/Near where the charter’d Thames does flow./And mark in every face I meet/Marks of weakness, marks of woe.” Then, thinking of the realm of pop media Warhol explored so obsessively, I go back to a night of channel-surfing in 1990 when an Irish singer I’d never heard of mesmerized me, eye to eye, for five incredible minutes. Had Warhol lived to see Sinéad O’Connor in the video for her cover of Prince’s “No One Compares 2 U,” he’d have found an
hearing Sinéad O’Connor’s account of her after-midnight confrontation with Prince at his mansion in the Hollywood Hills (“we had a punch-up”). Like a one-man social media search engine decades ahead of snapchat and instagram, his only equipment a camera and tape recorder, Warhol created his own form of Facebook. The Diaries provide some back story gossip for the Polaroids at the Zimmerli. Warhol found Sylvester Stallone “really hard to photograph” because “from the front his neck is skinny, then from the side it looks three feet wide. From the front he has a huge chest, and from the side no chest at all …. He’s like Rubber Man.” Warhol, who came to Stallone’s suite at the Regency di-

(Photo Peter Jacobs) irresistible subject. The term “covered” doesn’t begin to describe what she does with a song she owns as surely as if she’d composed every word and every note with her own blood and tears. Though the video contains glimpses of the Parc St. Cloud in Paris, the soul of it is in the anguished narrative of expressions animating her face, held and sustained in close-up: close enough to kiss, bump heads with, naked, intimate, dominant, definitive, nothing but a television screen between you and this not conventionally beautiful yet wholly magnificent presence. Gossip The lifeblood of Pop for Warhol was celebrity gossip, and no doubt he’d have relished
rectly from church, made the actor take off his shirt (“he was wearing some kind of medal”); the aura of the Polaroid Polacolor Type 108 print is closer to Svengali than Rocky. A day later Warhol was signing his posters of Ted Kennedy at a gallery on Madison Avenue (noting, as was his habit, cab fare and cost of supplies). All the Kennedys except Ted were there, including Kerry Kennedy and one of her sisters, “and Kerry’s prettier. They’re all funny-looking those kids.” A Polaroid print of Kerry being playful is at the Zimmerli. So is one of Pia Zadora, face blue, lips very red, from July 28, 1983 (“so cute, so sweet. Her skin is beautiful … she had on a beautiful ring — a diamond with
blue sapphies”). The portrait of Caroline, Princess of Monaco, was taken October 13, 1983, when she was posing for the December cover of French Vogue. Warhol had to rush to get to the shoot (“cab $6.50”), where it took her “one or two hours to get dressed …. She’s pretty but she looks forty … like she’s really been through the mill. But they know how to pull her together.” The poised, beautiful face at the Zimmerli belies Warhol’s commentary. While the Diaries, which begin in 1976, provide no gossipy background for screenprints like the series Electric Chairs (1971), based on images in the press at the time of the Rosenberg executions, and Vegetarian Vegetable from Campbell’s Soup II (1969), an August 1981 entry notes that after visiting a Campbell’s-centered exhibit at the Colorado State Museum, Warhol was “so tired of Campbell’s Soup Can I could throw up.” The Wild West The last time I saw Phoebe Ann Mosey, known best as Annie Oakley, she was impersonated by Barbara Stanwyck. Warhol has done wonders with a trading card image from Little Miss Sure Shot’s days with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. There’s something better than the banality of Pop in the silkscreens of Annie and Sitting Bull and, especially, Alexander the Great, with its Picassoesque line work, which was based on a bronze portrait bust in a blockbuster show that was touring the U.S. in the eighties; according to the exhibit notes, the gay community saw Alexander as a symbol of gay pride. Zimmerli uses the term “banality” in reference to the post-World-War II advertising subtext of Vegetarian Vegetable. The word Warhol might have used is highlighted in the Diaries, where he quotes “the funniest line” from an exchange between two photographers viewing his Pia Zadora portraits: “How could Andy Warhol sink to such mediocrity?” “What do you mean? He’s famous for sinking to mediocrity.” Of course the banality of celebrity is among the messages behind not only “More than Fifteen Minutes of Fame” but Warhol’s Diaries and his book, written with Pat Hackett, Popism: The Warhol Sixties, which contains one of the best accounts of what Pop in the largest sense meant to Warhol. Describing a cross-country drive to California in October 1963: “The farther west we drove, the more Pop everything looked on the highways. Suddenly we all felt like insiders because even though Pop was everywhere … to us it was the new Art. Once you ‘got’ Pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.” ••• onoré Daumier and the Art of La Caricature,” a show with some interesting features in common with “More than Fifteen Minutes of Fame: Warhol’s Prints and Photographs,” is also on view at the Zimmerli through July 31.

“Relative Perceptions” Opens on Mother’s Day
T he “Relat ive Percep tions” exhibit will be at the Canal Frame-Crafts Gallery featuring three generations of Minnuccis. The opening reception is on Mother’s Day, May 8, from 1–4 p.m., where the public can meet the artists — Betty Minnucci, Kim (daughter), and Christan (granddaughter). The show continues through Saturday, June 4. Galler y ow ner, Debbie Crow, acknowledges, “After hosting an interesting show last spring featuring artist couples, I developed the idea to do a different type of ‘relative’ show by featuring multi-generational artists. Though there are several parent — child combinations in Bucks County, Betty Minnucci actually has three generations of artists in her family. Since they are all mothers, we decided to
open the show on Mother’s Day.” Betty Minnucci is the matriarch of the family and has a degree in education from L o ck Have n Un iver s it y. She has received numerous awards from local juried shows, as well as from shows in the Adirondacks, Cape May, and Arizona. She prefers to paint in oil with a palette knife and particularly loves painting landscapes, snow, and ‘old things.’ K im Minnucci, B et t y’s daughter, has a degree in art education from Kutztown University. She has been teaching art in the Souderton School District for 10 years. Her art is heavily influenced by her love of the outdoors, especially running, kayaking, and skiing. She often paints fish, frogs, and other natural objects. Christan Minnucci, Betty’s granddaughter, studied art history in college. Her favor-
ite medium is oil paint on board with a palette knife, her technique was taught and honed by her grandmother. She has a unique bright and bold stroke, which catches your eye and imagination. The Canal-Frame Crafts Gallery is located at 1093 General Greene Road, Washington Crossing, Pa. Hours are Tuesday– Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ———

quisite designs can be found in nature. Wild Designs artists were inspired by the ingenuity of animal architects and the wild designs that they create in nature. “The exhibition aims to open our eyes to the amazing engineering feats throughout the animal world,” says guest curator Donna Payton. “It is a reflection of the behavioral capabilities of animals and of what animal building tells us about the nature of human creativity.” The “animal architecture” serves as a departure point for the artists, rather than a scientific replication. Some of the same construction materials animals use in their architecture have been combined with traditional art materials and technology. Animals and insects have inspired writers, poets, musicians, artists and biologists. Many cultures’ creation theories incorporate animals, their homes, and webs. The original idea for this exhibition came from the book Animal Architects, Building and the Evolution of Intelligence by James L. Gould and Carol Grant Gould. “I chose the nest designs first because it reflected my visual voice of the overlapping part connecting with other parts similar to the style in my work,” says exhibiting artist Gyuri Hollósy. “Later I determined its variety being that of the European Hornet which immigrated some time in the 1840s. The Bald Faced Hornet was also part of the consideration for pattern and color. They both use wood pulp to make their nests using saliva and water as a bonding agent to make their paperthin nests. Since I’m also an immigrant from Europe and work with sawdust bonded with resin, I felt this concept was a perfect fit and a personal connection between the insect and myself.” “The mission of the Marie L. Matthews Art Gallery at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center is to inspire a conservation ethic in the community through the visual celebration of nature,” says D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead. “The beauty of these wild designs and the animals that make them underscores the importance of preservation. And, this exhibit has a sense of fun with colors and styles that leap off the wall to engage you in the subject matter!” Gallery hours are MondayFriday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday, May 24, 1-4 p.m. The Gallery is closed holidays — please call ahead to confirm availability at (609) 924-4646, www.drgreenway.org.

The Arts Council of Princeton’s signature art and wine spring fundraiser Pinot to Picasso was held on Friday, April 29 in the Technology Center of Princeton on Carter Road. The theme of the evening was electronics and robotics and this was reflected in both the atmosphere and the live art demonstrations. A definite highlight was the Tombola, an Italian style lottery where everyone wins.

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 8, 2016. 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 (10:30am-2pm). I later heard from Aunt Alice that the Inn’s special Dinner Buffet (started 2:30 pm) 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 609-655-5595 21 South Main Street • Cranbury, NJ

INTERVIEWS WITH CLOWNS: Senior Nathalie Ellis-Einhorn in rehearsal for “I.M. LOST!” the one-person, interactive play she wrote and will perform on May 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. and May 7 at 2 and 8 p.m. at the Marie Edward Matthews ’53 Acting Studio at 185 Nassau Street. “I.M. LOST!” is an interactive solo show based on interviews with different types of people who clown: birthday clowns, hospital clowns, actor clowns, clown teachers, even an astrophysics professor who enjoys going to clown classes. (Photo by Nadia Diamond) “Clowning is a performance form based on repeated failure,” notes Ellis-Einhorn. “We love the clown because they fail again and again but come back the next time with hope any way.” The show will chart how each clown character, and EllisEinhorn herself, grapples with that inevitable failure. Audiences will be encouraged to actively participate in the performance through a variety of games. “And there will be balloons ! ,” adds Ellis-Einhorn. Tickets for I.M. LOST! are $12 general admission and $11 for students and seniors when purchased in advance, and $17 general admission and $15 for students and seniors purchased the day of performances at the box office. Tickets are available through University Ticketing, which offers flexibility for online ordering and print-at-home tickets.

Mortality in “The Last Boat”
The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Princeton Atelier will present an original immersive theater experience inspired by cultural meditations on mortality, created by Princeton students as the culminating project of a spring course co-taught by graphic novelist Kevin Pyle and Jennine Willett, co-artistic director of Third Rail Projects, a dance theater company know n for immersive works. The 28-minute experience will be
presented in intervals on May 5 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. in New South on the Princeton campus. The project grew out of the Atelier course, Waking the Dead, in which Pyle and Willett, t wo stor y tellers, working in different media, combined their processes and approaches to narrative. They collaborated with students across multiple disciplines to integrate movement, images, and text into a new story-telling format. The students and faculty examined artists’ responses throughout history to the subject of death and the journey of the soul. Memento Mori, Vanitas painting, Hans Holbein’s Dance of Death, and the wide variety of visual interpretations of Dante’s Inferno were among the works considered. The Last Boat, devised by the faculty and students working in collaboration, is the culminating project that incorporates projected imagery, art installations, text, and movement in an immersive theatrical environment. Audiences will assemble in the lobby level of New South and be escorted in small groups to the basement or “B” level of the building to begin the experience. Through a series of rooms and vignettes utilizing a range of media and performance, audiences will engage with various meditations on the inevitability of death and the unknowable quality of the afterlife. Admission to The Last Boat is free, however visitors are required to sign up for a time slot at arts.princeton.edu/lastboat with small groups admitted to the immersive theater experience every 15 minutes.

CINEMA REVIEW
Fri. 05/06/16 to Thurs. 05/12/16
Saldana Successfully Portrays Simone in Controversial Biopic
M
Spell on You,” and “Why? (The King of Love Is Dead).” Fortunately, Zoe does a better job in the acting part of the role, convincingly capturing Nina’s mercurial personality, from her imperious air, the violent mood swings, the substance abuse, and the bouts of depression and self-doubt. The movie is the writing and directing debut of Cynthia Mort who reportedly distanced herself from her own production, and at one point even sued over the final cut because she had lost creative control over the editing. The story unfolds in North Carolina in 1946 with an adolescent Nina showing promise as a classical pianist. From there she moves to New York in 1965 where we learn that the once-promising prodigy is now playing jazz in nightclubs after dropping out of Juilliard. The narrative then shifts to Los Angeles in 1995, where we find her on the downside of her career. She’s just been committed to a mental hospital after being diagnosed as an alcoholic, paranoid, and bipolar. Fortunately, Nina was assigned an empathetic nurse, Clifton Henderson (David Oyelowo), who took a special interest in her welfare. Not only did he help her leave the facility but he quit his job and accompanied her to France to become her personal assistant. Their relationship, which would last until the end of Nina’s life, is the focus of this warts-and-all biopic. Clifton spends time cleaning up the verbally abusive, chain-smoking, substanceabusing, star’s act, and he tries to find her gigs. Aside from the singing, Zoe Saldana delivers a decent Nina Simone impersonation. TOO BAD SHE COULDN’T MAKE IT LAST: Nina Simone (Zoe Saldana) is receiving attention for Very Good (HHH). Unher talent as a jazz perfomer in New York after she leaves Juilliard. Unfortunately, later in rated. Running time: 90 her career she becomes addicted to alcohol and is diagnosed as paranoid and bipolar, and minutes. Distributor: RLJ ends up living in France accompanied by Clifton Henderson (David Oyelowo, not shown) who Entertainment. was her nurse and then became her personal assistant. —Kam Williams
ost of the pre-release controversy surrounding this movie is the debate about the way Zoe Saldana darkens her skin, dons an afro wig, and wears a prosthetic nose to portray Nina Simone (19332003). Apparently, some consider the casting of Saldana as the dark-skinned title character to be not quite politically correct, since she is of Dominican and Puerto Rican extraction and thus, by implication, not black enough to play an African-American. The beleaguered actress was criticized so much by the press that she’s even publicly admitted that “I didn’t think I was right for the part.” However, I suspect anyone who sees the film would find Zoe’s Africanized features to be less of a distraction than her singing. Although she certainly manages to hold her own, Nina’s fans will undoubtedly be disappointed by the absence of the haunting strains of her distinctive voice rather than by Zoe performing in blackface. It’s frustrating to have to settle for second rate renditions of such Simone classics as “My Baby Just Cares for Me,” “Feeling Good,” “Black Is the Colour,” “To Be Young, Gifted and Black,” “I Put a

PROM NIGHT: With nine residents in attendance who are over the age of 100, a festive event held April 28 at Brandywine Senior Living in Princeton gave new meaning to the term “senior prom.” A different brand of seniors — undergraduates in their final year at Princeton University — served as escorts for the dance, even serenading the celebrants with songs from the Big Band Era. Of course, it wouldn’t be a prom without a king and queen. Phil Yannick, who lives at Brandywine Middlebrook Crossing in Bridgewater; and Martha Munster, a resident at Brandywine Princeton; won the honors. Both are a spry 103.

With Catcher Christie Exemplifying Resilience, PU Baseball Wins Gehrig Division, Will Host ILCS
I
n his book, Resilience, former Navy SEAL and Rhodes Scholar Eric Greitens provides some common sense advice for overcoming obstacles in life. The work struck a chord with Princeton University baseball head coach Scott Bradley, who read it last summer on the heels of a tough 2015 campaign which saw his squad go 7-25 overall and 4-16 in Ivy League play as it landed in the cellar of the league’s Gehrig Division. Bradley made Greitens’ book required reading for his players. “I thought it would be something great to share with the team,” said Bradley. “We made it our theme this year.” The Tigers took that theme to heart this spring, producing an amazing reversal of fortune. Ending the regular season by winning three of four games against Cornell last weekend, Princeton improved to 22-18 overall and 13-7 Ivy, clinching the Gehrig title and home field advantage for the upcoming best-of-three Ivy League Championship Series. “What I liked is that our pitching got back,” said Bradley, reflecting on the series with the Big Red, which saw Princeton win 4-3 in eight innings and 6-1 at Cornell on Friday to clinch the division and then split the next day at Clarke Field, falling 4-3 before prevailing 7-2. “The way we pitched and the way we played defense this weekend was our mainstay for our team all year long. We lost that for a little bit and we got it back. We are continuing to progress offensively. We like where we are at; it has been a remarkable, remarkable turnaround in a year.” In reflecting on the turnaround, Bradley credited his group of seniors, Billy Arendt, Andres Larramendi, Danny Hoy, Chris Bodurian, Danny Thomson, Luke Strieber, Cameron Mingo, and Andrew Christie, with setting the tone. “It was unbelievable to go through what they have gone through and to come out this year re-energized, refocused and to lead this younger group,” asserted Bradley. “It is one thing to lead when you have won
before but to take these guys who haven’t won and to lead like they have. It has been amazing leadership from the seniors.” Senior catcher Christie perhaps best exemplifies the resilience of the seniors, becoming a steady performer this spring after seeing just eight at-bats in his first three college seasons. “I have used a bunch of quotes for my team this year one of them was right out of Herb Brooks (the coach of the 1980 U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team) and for Andrew Christie it is great,” said Bradley, noting that Christie, the son of Governor Chris Christie, got on the field this year due in part to injury. “When Herb Brooks said great moments are born from great opportunities; he got a chance to play and he has made the most of it. He has had some big hits and he has done a great job handling the pitching staff.” Last Saturday, Christie took advantage of an opportunity, slamming a fifth inning double to the left field fence in the bottom of the fifth inning of game 2 to put the Tigers ahead 1-0 and spark a three-run rally. “I hit a slider on the inner half, he threw me two sliders that I bunted through earlier in the game to move Danny Baer over and I could not accomplish that,” said the 5’8, 210-pound Christie, who starred at the Delbarton School before coming to Princeton. “He came with another one and I was ready to hit it. I changed the approach to just see the ball, hit the ball there with two strikes. It felt good when it came off the bat. It felt good that I kind of atoned for my first at-bat when I didn’t get the run in.” With the program celebrating its annual Senior Day, Christie was thrilled to come through in his final regular season home game. “It has been a pleasure sharing this field with the guys this year and to have it end on a win is fitting,” said Christie. “Hopefully we come back here next week and get two more.” Piling up the wins this spring after last year’s nightmarish campaign has been sweet
for Christie and his teammates. “It means a lot,” said Christie. “Last year was tough on everyone. We have fought through a lot of adversity and finally have gotten step one of our journey done.” While the seniors have taken the lead this season, Christie notes that the turnaround is a collective effort. “Our class has been big but the whole team’s approach has changed,” asserted Chris- CATCHING ON: Princeton University baseball player Andrew tie. “We are a lot more focused Christie takes a swing in action this spring.

Maintaining Its Focus in 4-Game Sweep of Cornell, PU Softball Wins Ivy South, Girds for Title Series After coming in second in the Ivy League South Division the last three seasons, the Princeton Universit y softball team wasn’t leaving anything to chance as it took a two-game lead into its four-game series with Cornell in the final weekend of regular season play. “I think the senior class, in particular, was really happy to be in control of our own destiny and we never took our eyes off of what we needed to do this weekend,” said Van Ackeren. “I think ever yone was committed to making sure that we just played our best game, all four games.” The Tigers played some very good ball against Cornell, winning 10-1 and 4-2 on Friday to clinch the division title. On Saturday, Princeton kept its focus, prevailing 4-3 and 12-2 on Senior Day. In reflecting on the sweep, Van Ackeren credited senior pitcher Shanna Christian
with getting things going in the right direction as she hurled a gem in the opener on Friday, going six innings and giving up one run on three hits with four strikeouts. “Shanna has been battling injuries all year and coming down the stretch we have really relied on her to not only be on the mound but for her leadership,” said Van Ackeren. “I think she did a great job setting the tone for the weekend. She was going to compete, no matter what, and a lot of people stepped up in those first two games against Cornell up there.” Christian’s classmate, catcher Skye Jerpbak, stepped up in a big way in the opener, going 4-for-4 with two homers and five RBIs. “Skye was unbelievable,” said Van Ackeren. “She drove up on the morning of the game with one of the assistant coaches because she had literally turned in

her thesis at midnight the night before and had things due so her nose was to the grindstone all week. She was extra relaxed on Friday. She did a really great job. It is cool when you are doing well in all areas of your life and she just had a wonderful weekend overall.” After winning the nightcap 4-2, the Tigers enjoyed a wonderful moment, celebrating their first division title in Van Ackeren’s four-year tenure and the program’s first since 2008. “I would say it was a combination of emotions; it was a little of relief and a lot of joy and a lot of excitement that we could carry that kind of energy into Senior Day for Saturday,” said Van Ackeren. “I think very quickly the c e l ebr at ion on t h e b u s turned into OK, now we have two things in front of us — one is to make sure that we give our seniors a great outing on Saturday, and, two, let’s move onto the North and see who we are facing. They are focused on not settling for just the South division championship, which is really exciting. It wasn’t excessive joy because there are still things to come.” The team had a great outing on Saturday as senior Kate Miller had two hits in the win in the opener and then classmate Emily Viggers drove in five runs in game two, going 2-for-3 with a grand slam. “It was great, the seniors playing in their last home games, there is some kind of magic that happens,” said Van Ackeren, whose group of seniors includes Danielle Allen and Kayla Bose in addition to Christian, Jerpbak,

WELL DONE: Princeton University softball head coach Lisa Van Ackeren, left, congratulates pitcher Claire Klausner, right, as catcher Skye Jerpbak looks on in a game this spring. Last weekend, Van Ackeren guided the Tigers to a four-game sweep of Cornell as Princeton clinched its first Ivy South title in her four-year tenure at the helm and the program’s first since 2008.

For some of them, it was the best day of their careers. I think the seniors all had a hit in their last at bat at home, all six, that is a hard thing to do so I think they were all pulling together. It is a class where their personalities are very different but they are so united. There is such a level of respect that the six of them have for each other and I think that really showed on Saturday.” Utilizing a cool-headed m e nt a l it y at t h e plate, Princeton has hit .278 with 193 runs this spring compared to a .253 average and 153 runs in 2015. “I think it is our hitting approach and just an understanding that an at-bat, whether it is good or bad doesn’t make or break a season,” said Van Ackeren. “They have stayed emotionally stable in the box. The team has really owned that we are going to use each at-bat as information on how to get better and how to improve. Whether or not you do your job in that at-bat doesn’t dictate how the next one is going to go. That kind of consistency levels out the emotions associated with atbats and has made a difference for this team.”

“I think for them the value of those at-bats are even more impor tant because they are making the transition into college softball,” said Van Ackeren. “For them, seeing great pitching from the very beginning, their expectations were high about what they were going to see and that made them compete more right away. The mindset of that freshman class is they are competitors at heart, they are gritty, they are tough and that experience for them was really valuable. They have done a huge job, even leading as freshmen so that is really important.” Having served as an assistant coach for Penn in 2012 when it played in the ILCS, Van Ackeren believes mental toughness is key to prevailing. “I think the emotion part can be a huge asset; you can play with emotion but not emotionally; that has made us successful this season,” said Van Ackeren. “We are going to try to make sure that we manage our emotions and channel them in a way that makes us better. If you play with too much of an emotional state that can take you out of things. It is going to be exciting for them because the team has done a good job of treating every game the same way. We just want to play our best ball, that part is going to stay the same, but hopefully they are pumped to go and just make FAMILY EYE CARE • QUALITY EYE WEAR and represent a statement the South division well.” No matter who Princeton ends up playing, Van Ackeren is confident that her players will do a very good job. “There are two different GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE rivalries with both schools, the Harvard-Princeton rival609-279-0005 ry is so deep-rooted; it’s like Montgomery Center a battle of the best in every www.mecnj.com sense,” said Van Ackeren. “When you get to Princeton as a freshman you are taught you have got to beat Harvard in everything and there is a level of pride associated with that. With Dartmouth, we would be trying to dethrone the 3-time Ivy Championship winner. With them playing at home, they know what it is like to win a championship on that field. We love a challenge and we love rising to the occasion. For the team, it doesn’t matter where we go, they are just ready to play.” —Bill Alden

In Van Ackeren’s view, keeping an even - keele d approach helped the team bounce back from a winless trip to California in midMarch. “I t hink coming home from spring break was a huge turning point; it makes sense to the team now why we scheduled the way that we did,” said Van Ackeren. “We lost every game on spring break, we were 0-11 on the week. A team that was not emotionally resilient could have said this is how the rest of our season is going to go but they just refused to accept that. T hey treated the games over spring break the exact way that they should have, which is why we got to play against some really quality programs, we got to see some really great pitching and ultimately will help us to do well in the Ivy League and beyond.” The play of Princeton’s freshman quartet of Kaylee Grant (.330 batting average, 6 homers, 23 RBIs), Keeley Walsh (.284, 2 homers ), Kaitlyn Waslawski (.282) and Mikayla Blaska (.250), has given the team a big boost as it looks ahead to the best-of-three Ivy League Championship Series, which will take place this weekend at either Harvard or Dartmouth depending on the outcome of a May 3 doubleheader between the Ivy North foes.

Kevin Yang has moved to third singles from second doubles for the Princeton High boys’ tennis team this spring and is enjoying flying solo on the court. “It is more fun, I like singles better,” said sophomore Yang. “Everything depends on yourself.” Last week, Yang had a lot of fun as he took second at third singles at the Mercer County, helping PHS place second in the team standings behind champion WW/P-S. Yang opened the final day of competition at the Mercer County Park tennis complex last Wednesday with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Rohan Yadav of Hightstown in the semifinals. “It was a really good start,” said Yang, reflecting on his win over Yadav. “I just tried to keep myself in the moment and whenever I got distracted by thoughts, I would come back to the physical sensations and moments.” Facing Matt Michibata of WW/P-S in the final, Yang was looking to keep his focus after having lost in straight sets to Michibata earlier this spring in a regular season match. “I was trying to stay more aggressive and tr ying to stay out of my mind instead of getting caught up in the train of thought and thinking about the score,” said Yang. After dropping the first set 6-4, Yang rallied to win the second set 6-3 and force a decisive set. “I tried to stay more consistent but also aggressive,” added Yang in assessing his play. “My coaches and teammates really helped my comeback; they gave me some good support.” Yang kept up his aggressive play in the final set, producing some highlight reel points, but it wasn’t enough as Michibata prevailed 6-3. “I really liked the third set, it is probably one of the best sets I have played,” maintained Yang. “I tried to keep with him. He was also playing really well and it was a really good last set. It was a great way to end the tournament.” In Yang’s view, his best tennis is ahead of him. “I think the technique on my forehand and the technique for basically everything has improved,” said Yang. “I have worked with a new coach, Vivek Subramanian, and he really helped me with it.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert saw Yang’s effort in the final as exemplifying how much he has progressed this season. “It was a great match for Kevin, he didn’t start out very well here today in the final and the last time they played, Matt beat him in two,” said Hibbert. “For him to show that much improvement in a couple of weeks is great for him.” The Little Tigers did very well collectively as they battled WW/P-S hard, making the finals in four of five flights. “We certainly can’t complain, with four guys through to the semis and then four
guys through to the finals,” said Hibbert. “It was certainly a good day; obviously we came up short in the finals but we know South is a tough team, we have already seen them and they are fourth or fifth in the state.” At first singles, sophomore Noah Lilienthal showed his toughness as he overcame a 5 -2 first set deficit in the semis against Eric Biscoveanu of Notre Dame to prevail 7-5, 6-4 before ultimately falling 6-4, 6-3 to Kabir Sarita of WW/P-S in
the championship match. “Kabir and Noah have been back and forth the last two years,” said Hibbert. “Noah is coming back from being injured. It is a lot of tough tennis; he had two really hard matches where Kabir rolled through his first one 0 and 0.” Freshman Jerry Gu made a fine debut as second singles, rolling through the draw without losing a set until losing 6-3-6-2 to Robert Siniakowicz of WW/P-S in the finals.
“Jerry did a great job as well to come in here as a freshman, to not just make the final but put up a good showing,” added Hibbert. “It was very competitive, it was deuces all around.” The first doubles pair of the Lin brothers, Andrew and Eric, showed their competitive fire as they made it to the finals as well. “The Lins definitely played well as a team today; they were communicating well and they just ran up against a tough team in the final,” said Hibbert of the Lins, who fell 6-2, 6-1 to Mihir Singh and Alex Yang of WW/P-S.
“They had a great semi. We weren’t sure that was the original plan but due to a variety of factors, that looks like it is going to be our strongest pairing going forward. They are starting to click.” With the state tournament around the corner, Hibbert is hoping her team’s performance at the MCT will lead to strong play down the stretch. “It definitely lets us know we have came a long way, we have gotten better,” said Hibbert. “There are some things we can do to continue im-
proving. We need to keep working with our doubles and especially the bottom of our lineup. It is also keeping everyone healthy. That is always the key because it is a lot of matches. We are coming into four matches a week; it is a lot of work for these guys.” Yang, for his part, is looking forward to the matches ahead. “This year the team is really great, we really support each other,” said Yang. “We played really well in this tournament.” —Bill Alden

PU Sports Roundup Princeton Football’s DeValve Picked in 4th Round of NFL Draft
Princeton University football star Seth DeValve became the highest-drafted Tiger football player in the modern NFL Draft era Saturday afternoon when he was selected with the 138th pick in the fourth round by the Cleveland Browns. He became the third Princeton draft selection of the last four years, joining Mike Catapano (2013, Kansas City) and Caraun Reid (2014, Detroit). Reid, selected 158th overall, had been the highest draft pick of the modern era, but Cleveland changed that when they selected DeValve with a compensatory pick. “I am so incredibly happy to be a Brown and so thankful for all the people that helped me get here,” said DeValve, a 6’4, 245-pound native of Manchester, Conn. “A shout out to Princeton a n d Ma n ch e s te r, C on n, as well as all my coaches, teammates and my family; I love you guys.” DeValve finished his career ranked 10th all-time at Princeton in receptions (122) and 13th in receiving yards (1336). He posted All-Ivy numbers during the 2013 Ivy League championship season, when he ranked in the Top 50 nationally in receptions ( 5.4) and the Top 100 in receiving yards (58.6); both totals ranked among the Top 10 in the Ivy League. DeValve caught 49 passes for 527 yards and four touchdowns that year, including a key one in the triple-overtime victory over Harvard.

Tyler Lussi is spending the first week of May with the U.S. U-23 team at a training camp in Charlottesville, Va. Since the Tigers’ season came to an end in November, junior striker Lussi trained with the U-23s in California in January and traveled to Croatia to play with the U23s in the Istria Cup.

Kevin Yang has moved to third singles from second doubles for the Princeton High boys’ tennis team this spring and is enjoying flying solo on the court. “It is more fun, I like singles better,” said sophomore Yang. “Everything depends on yourself.” Last week, Yang had a lot of fun as he took second at third singles at the Mercer County, helping PHS place second in the team standings behind champion WW/P-S. Yang opened the final day of competition at the Mercer County Park tennis complex last Wednesday with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Rohan Yadav of Hightstown in the semifinals. “It was a really good start,” said Yang, reflecting on his win over Yadav. “I just tried to keep myself in the moment and whenever I got distracted by thoughts, I would come back to the physical sensations and moments.” Facing Matt Michibata of WW/P-S in the final, Yang was looking to keep his focus after having lost in straight sets to Michibata earlier this spring in a regular season match. “I was trying to stay more aggressive and tr ying to stay out of my mind instead of getting caught up in the train of thought and thinking about the score,” said Yang. After dropping the first set 6-4, Yang rallied to win the second set 6-3 and force a decisive set. “I tried to stay more consistent but also aggressive,” added Yang in assessing his play. “My coaches and teammates really helped my comeback; they gave me some good support.” Yang kept up his aggressive play in the final set, producing some highlight reel points, but it wasn’t enough as Michibata prevailed 6-3. “I really liked the third set, it is probably one of the best sets I have played,” maintained Yang. “I tried to keep with him. He was also playing really well and it was a really good last set. It was a great way to end the tournament.” In Yang’s view, his best tennis is ahead of him. “I think the technique on my forehand and the technique for basically everything has improved,” said Yang. “I have worked with a new coach, Vivek Subramanian, and he really helped me with it.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert saw Yang’s effort in the final as exemplifying how much he has progressed this season. “It was a great match for Kevin, he didn’t start out very well here today in the final and the last time they played, Matt beat him in two,” said Hibbert. “For him to show that much improvement in a couple of weeks is great for him.” The Little Tigers did very well collectively as they battled WW/P-S hard, making the finals in four of five flights. “We certainly can’t complain, with four guys through to the semis and then four
guys through to the finals,” said Hibbert. “It was certainly a good day; obviously we came up short in the finals but we know South is a tough team, we have already seen them and they are fourth or fifth in the state.” At first singles, sophomore Noah Lilienthal showed his toughness as he overcame a 5 -2 first set deficit in the semis against Eric Biscoveanu of Notre Dame to prevail 7-5, 6-4 before ultimately falling 6-4, 6-3 to Kabir Sarita of WW/P-S in
the championship match. “Kabir and Noah have been back and forth the last two years,” said Hibbert. “Noah is coming back from being injured. It is a lot of tough tennis; he had two really hard matches where Kabir rolled through his first one 0 and 0.” Freshman Jerry Gu made a fine debut as second singles, rolling through the draw without losing a set until losing 6-3-6-2 to Robert Siniakowicz of WW/P-S in the finals.
“Jerry did a great job as well to come in here as a freshman, to not just make the final but put up a good showing,” added Hibbert. “It was very competitive, it was deuces all around.” The first doubles pair of the Lin brothers, Andrew and Eric, showed their competitive fire as they made it to the finals as well. “The Lins definitely played well as a team today; they were communicating well and they just ran up against a tough team in the final,” said Hibbert of the Lins, who fell 6-2, 6-1 to Mihir Singh and Alex Yang of WW/P-S.
“They had a great semi. We weren’t sure that was the original plan but due to a variety of factors, that looks like it is going to be our strongest pairing going forward. They are starting to click.” With the state tournament around the corner, Hibbert is hoping her team’s performance at the MCT will lead to strong play down the stretch. “It definitely lets us know we have came a long way, we have gotten better,” said Hibbert. “There are some things we can do to continue im-
proving. We need to keep working with our doubles and especially the bottom of our lineup. It is also keeping everyone healthy. That is always the key because it is a lot of matches. We are coming into four matches a week; it is a lot of work for these guys.” Yang, for his part, is looking forward to the matches ahead. “This year the team is really great, we really support each other,” said Yang. “We played really well in this tournament.” —Bill Alden

PHS Boys’ Lax Has Sights on County Run As McDonald Finds the Range on Attack With the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse mired in a three-game losing streak coming into last week, Eamonn McDonald and his teammates righted the ship against North Hunterdon. Junior attackman McDonald scored two goals to help PHS pull out a 6-4 victory. “We practiced really hard for our North Hunterdon game; we came out really strong and probably played our best game of the year,” said McDonald, reflecting on the April 25 contest. “It was a great win for us.” After picking up a second win two days later with a 13-4 victory over Holmdel, the Little Tigers were sluggish as they played at WW/ P-N last Thursday night in a steady rain. PHS trailed 1-0 late in the second quarter and looked as dreary as the weather until McDonald took matters into his hands. Going to goal, McDonald found the back of the net twice in less than a minute. “We started off a little slow but the second quarter really picked it up,” said McDonalds. “Once I scored, the team got a little hyped up.”
Clinging to a 3-1 lead at halftime, the Little Tigers pulled away with a 4-0 third quarter on the way to a 12-3 triumph. “At halftime, coach talked to us and we got really fired up,” recalled McDonald, who ended up with five goals in the win as the Little Tigers improved to 7-3. “The next goal was a critical one ; we clicked. The practice really shows off in the games and I hope we keep winning.” With PHS earning the No. 2 seed for the upcoming Mercer County Tournament and hosting No. 15 Hamilton in a first round contest on May 5 with the winner advancing to the quarters on May 7, McDonald is looking to keep firing away. “I think the offense as a whole has been getting better over the past few weeks,” said McDonald. “We have been working in practice listening to our coaches and our chemistry has been picking up.” McDonald, who is also a star defenseman for the PHS boys’ hockey team, believes that playing offense in the spring makes him a better all-around athlete.
hen it comes to insurance helps to have a champion When it comes to insurance your corner
“The defense helps me on riding with position and body placement; it helps me direct my feet towards where I am supposed to be on the ride,” explained McDonald. “I enjoy it a lot, the contrast, it really diversifies my skills.” PHS head coach Chip Casto enjoyed seeing McDonald turn the tide of the contest. “Eamonn was a spark; as soon as he starts moving his feet, he plays a lot better,” said Casto. The Little Tigers have been getting better and better on defense, buoyed by the play of junior Leo Godefroy in goal. “That has always been the strong point of our team,” asserted Casto, referring to the team’s defensive unit. “Leo is achieving what we thought he might achieve this year. We didn’t know it would be to the level it has been so we are very excited about that.” In Casto’s view, PHS hasn’t played its strongest lacrosse yet. “There were still a lot of mistakes so we have a lot of things to work on,” said Casto. “We are still not clicking and moving the ball the way we would like to. We are not spraying the shots around, we have got just a couple of guys taking a lot of shots.” McDonald, for his part, believes that the Little Tigers have a shot at doing some big things in postseason play. “I look forward to the hard competition coming in the MCT and states,” said McDonald. “I think we have to practice hard and swing the ball to do well.” —Bill Alden

With Fake Leading Stifling Defensive Effort, Hun Boys’ Lax Advances to Prep A Title Game For the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team, hosting Peddie in the state Prep A semifinals last Monday served as an opportunity to get rolling as it looks for a big final push this spring. Having lost three straight games, including a 7-6 nailbiter to Brunswick School ( Conn.) on April 30, the Raiders were able to go in cruise control mode against an over matched Peddie, jumping out to a 6-0 first quarter lead on the way to an 18-0 triumph. “We had a tough first part of the season and we have been looking for ourselves and last weekend versus Brunswick, we finally showed ourselves a little more and who we are,” said junior defender and co-captain Christopher Fake. “We just wanted to build on that today and do the things we have been doing in practice.” Fake was proud of the team’s stifling defensive effort as shutouts are rarely seen in lacrosse. “That has been a major point of emphasis as we progress through the season to May,” said the University of Virginia-bound Fake. “We are just trying to make our defense as strong as possible so we can get through things.” Fake has been through a lot with senior defender Kyle Horihan and senior goalie Jon Levine. “We have been playing together for a while,” said Fake of the trio of defensive stalwarts. “We have been really comfortable and we love playing with each other but it is really the d-middies and the guys who don’t get noticed who really make or break the defense.” Show ing h is of fensive skills, Fake earned some notice in second quarter against Peddie when he took off in the clear, sprinting down the field and firing the ball into the back of the net with his pole. “It felt good,” said Fake with a grin reflecting on his tally. “Today was fun, being able to play loose.” The Raiders, who got five goals from Griffin Moroney against Peddie with Luke Prybylski chipping in two goals and five assists, are hoping to have fun defending their Prep A title on May 9 when they host arch rival and nemesis Lawrenceville, a 14-1 winner over Blair Academy in the other semifinal. “That means a lot, we always love playing Lawrenceville,” said Fake. “We love that rivalry and being able to play them another time this season.

always look forward to it and try to bring our A-game.” Later in May, the Raiders will take part in the Inter-Ac Challenge, which features some of the top programs on the east coast. “We are trying to ramp it up for the Inter-Acs, that is a big goal for the season,” added Fake, who helped Hun advance to the 2015 Inter-Ac title game where it
fell to top-ranked Haverford School (Pa.). “Playing in the Inter-Ac championship last year was an experience like no other, it was awesome. To make it back there would be great.” In Fake’s v iew, hit ting some bumps in the road should make Hun tougher down the stretch. “Those losses were much needed to learn that we can’t do it with one person,” said Fake. “We need to play together as a group.” —Bill Alden

“All the Prep A teams have good athletes so we knew when we came into this one, we would have to take care of business,” said D’Andrea, a former star goalie at Peddie who went on the play at Georgetown. “Our guys came out and executed as best we could.” In D’Andrea’s view, Fletcher’s execution in his modified role on offense has been a plus for the Panthers. “We have been running him on attack a little this year and at middie as well,” said D’Andrea. “He is one of those guys that just commands so much respect out there, he just has a presence. We have been dodging him from the wing and from behind the net. He just has great vision and he is one of the best athletes to come through PDS.” S ophomore at tack man Elon Tuckman was a presence against Peddie, tallying a goal and three assists. “He has been such a key part of us being able to control pace in these games,” said D’Andrea. “O u r defens ema n a nd middies work hard to clear the ball and the attackmen have done a really great job of handling pressure this year. When you can control pace like that, it lends itself to being able to execute in other areas.” The Panthers produced some excellent work against the Falcons, shutting them out in the second half. “These guys are really dialed in,” said D’Andrea, noting that freshman Connor Green and senior Chris Chai have given PDS a nice rotation at goalie. “They have done a great job, they have applied pressure on hands; they carry the ball when they are clearing, they are communicating.” With PDS getting into action this week in the MCT and then hosting a Prep B semifinal on May 16, D’Andrea is looking for his players to stay dialed in. “We are trying to extract the positives from each of these games and look at the negatives and learn to make the adjustments,” said D’Andrea. “ T h at h app e n s pr e t t y quickly in tournaments so we are tr ying to ingrain that in those guys. I think one of the things that the program had gained over the last few years is the big game presence. They have played in semifinal games, they have played in final games. We won Prep B two years ago.” Fletcher, for his part, is savoring his final run with the Panthers. “It is crazy; you hang out with those guys on the weekend, you go to class with all of them, we are all over the place together,” said Fletcher. “There is no one I would rather be playing out there with. We are best friends. It is really special and I wouldn’t trade it for anyGOING FOR IT: Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse player thing in the world.” Connor Fletcher, left, goes to goal in recent action.

Over the last three years, Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse star Connor Fletcher has established himself as one of the top midfielders in the area. But this spring, the Cornell-bound Fletcher has assumed a different role for the PDS offense. “I like to be a facilitator; now I am playing attack a little bit,” said Fletcher. “I am r unning it from behind the net and Jonah (Tuckman) is running from the top. We are just working together, the chemistry is great this year. We have been playing together for four or five years now and we are trying to be multidimensional in the way we play.” L ast T hursday against Peddie, the multitalented Fletcher showed his skills, tallying three goals and an assist in the first half as PDS pulled away to a 12-2 victory. “Every one on the schedule is a big one for us moving forward,” said Fletcher, reflecting on the Panthers’ effort in the win over Peddie. “So it is just keeping the tempo going throughout the season and ultimately just ride that until we get to MCTs and Preps.” While Fletcher had scored four goals in a 9-4 win over Hill School (Pa.) on April 20 before the hat trick against Peddie, he is not focusing on his stats. “I tr y not to think too much about myself,” said Fletcher, who tallied two goals and three assists as PDS defeated South Brunswick 16-4 last Saturday and improved to 9-1. “The offense is working well. We have Coby Auslander coming in as a freshman, mov ing into a big
dodging role. Will Brossman is scoring goals all over the place, so everything is kind of clicking for us right now.” PDS hopes to keep clicking as it is seeded first in both the state Prep B tourney and the Mercer County Tournament with MCT action starting this week and the Panthers slated to host a quarterfinal contest on May 7. “What has happened in the past is in the past,” said Fletcher. “We are trying to play our best lacrosse at the end of May and hopefully hang up two banners at the end of the season.” In order to enjoy a banner finish, the Panthers need to keep sharp at both ends of the field. “The biggest thing that we need to do is what we are doing right now, keeping chemistry going on offense, being unselfish,” asserted Fletcher. “The defense is playing lock down, never letting in more than six goals in a game. We are doing great out there on defense which is taking pressure off the offense. All around we are doing great.” The team’s 10-6 win over nationally-ranked Hun on April 11 was a great confidence builder. “Playing Hun, a crosstown rival, is always a big one for us,” said Fletcher. “Everyone was ready for the game. We were a little nervous but that faded away. It is a huge win for us in terms of making a statement in this area and in the state and even in the country. We are proud of the boys for that.” PDS head coach R ich D’Andrea was proud of the way his team performed in the win over Peddie.

Within 1 week of treatment I could get out of my wheelchair to my walker by myself, something I haven’t been able to do for years. I am also sleeping like there is no tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what the future treatments bring.” -Richard K. “I had been unable to get a full night’s rest in over a year, and lost most of the feeling in my feet due to diabetes. After just a few Neurogenx treatments, I am getting feeling back in my feet, and happy to say that I am sleeping through the night.” - Jerry M.
“Diabetic neuropathy had made my toes feel like the skin was sanded off. But during my third treatment, the miracle happened! The muscles in my legs started tensing, flexing and moving - they came back to life. When I walked across the rug I could actually feel the fibers for the first time in years. The Lyrica I had been taking only masked the problem and had some pretty nasty side effects. I’m now Lyrica-free and saving almost $300/month in drug costs. There is hope! Miracles do happen.” - Todd W.

Decker’s 3rd Place at 2nd Singles a Highlight As PDS Boys’ Tennis Places 6th at Counties Lex Decker displayed the growth in his tennis game by the way he started his second singles semifinal at the Mercer County Tournament last Wednesday. The lanky Princeton Day School sophomore jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Robert Siniakowicz of WW/P-S as they battled at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. “He is a solid player, I respect him a lot and I started out playing really, really well,” said Decker. “I was just focused on not overhitting, not going for too much because he is one of those players who you have to really grind down.”
As the match went on, though, Siniakowicz was able to grind Decker down as he rallied from the early deficit to prevail 6-3, 6-2. “There was a momentum change at 3-0 when I had a close serve game and after that he started coming back,” said Decker. “During the set all the games were tight. I wasn’t playing like I could hit every ball on the line or playing the best tennis I have ever played but I was playing solid. My head was in the game that day.” While Decker may not have played his best in the loss, he was proud of the way he battled Siniakowicz, who
went on to win the title. “It is t he lit tle points that just change the momentum, there was a lot of back and forth between us,” said Decker, who ended up placing third by default as Notre Dame’s Joseph Sison pulled out of the consolation match. “Overall I played a really good match and I look forward to coming back next year.” Having grown four inches and gained 20 pounds since last year, Decker is looking forward to more big wins in the future. “Last year my serve wasn’t as consistent; I have got a lot more power now and I
am just a bigger server,” said Decker, whose third place finish helped PDS take sixth of 17 schools in the MCT team standings. “I have developed my slice a lot more. Because you have a greater height, you have a larger reach. I have always been an all around player so I have always been at the net but the height does help at the net, especially with overheads. It is harder to lob; just from a psychological standpoint, it is intimidating when the opponent is larger because you have less space to hit over them.” After winning the third singles title at the 2015 state Prep B champion ships, Decker is hoping to accomplish the same feat at second singles when that competition takes place later this month.
“I think I will take my loss here with a grain of salt and move forward and just focus on grinding down my opponents,” said Decker. “I still have plenty of confidence for Prep Bs and hopefully I will win the championship.” PDS assistant coach Ed Tseng liked the way Decker competed in the loss to Siniakowicz. “What I look at is the quality of the points and every point was high quality,” said Tseng. “Lex got off to a 3-0 lead, that is proof that he was playing good, solid tennis. There were a lot of deuce games, really the match could have gone either way. He was patient, he was playing smart, and he was aggressive at the right times. I am proud of how he played.” In reflecting on Decker’s progress, Tseng believes the sophomore is producing higher quality play, physically and emotionally. “He has been working hard, he is stronger, he is bigger and mentally, I think he got more confidence, believing in himself,” added
Tseng. “We are happy to have him on our team.” With the Prep B slated to start on May 22, Tseng likes PDS’s prospects as it goes for a fourth straight crown. “I think we are a pretty deep team from singles to second doubles,” said Tseng, whose team has a match at the George School (Pa.) on May 10. “Even though this wasn’t our greatest result at the country tournament, it is good competitive, high level tennis so it is good preparation for preps. I think we have got a good shot. It just comes down to the things we focus on, doing our best and leaving everything out there.” Decker, for his part, believes the Panthers will give their best effor t as they look to keep their Prep title streak alive. “I think our team is looking good,” said Decker. “Our doubles players are stronger than last year’s and they are really working well together. This would be our fourth year in a row so we are hopeful.” —Bill Alden

James Fitzpatrick
Fighter. Investor. Humanitarian. Jim Fit z pat r ick was a country boy who lived his life in the presence of his God. The son of a Presbyterian minister and a public school teacher, his childhood days in southern Virginia were spent hunting the woods surrounding the manse in solitude, enjoying the arts in the evenings with his mother, and hopping in the back of the car to join his three brothers, sister, mother, and father on their weekly journey to several country churches throughout Dinwiddie County to hear their father lead Sunday services throughout the day. At the age of 18, Jim left The College of William & Mary and enlisted in the United States A r my A ir Corps to help his country defeat Nazi Germany. As a First Lieutenant and after piloting his B-17 Flying Fortress on 18 successful missions, he was shot down over Brunswick, Germany on May 8, 1944. Captured the following day, he became a prisoner of war until he was liberated two weeks before VE day. During his time in prison camp, he received two blessings he would carry with him for the rest of his life. His interest in economics and investing was sparked, thanks to the many YMCA care packages and books he eagerly received and consumed while in camp. And a young woman from one of his father’s congregations began writing him letters as a prisoner of war — a woman who

would soon become Nancye Fitzpatrick, his beloved wife for 66 years and the mother of their four children. After the war, the GI bill enabled Jim to return and graduate from William & Mary and go on to study his new intellectual passion at Columbia Business School in New York. Jim’s unique understanding of the human spirit and global economics guided his successful career as an asset manager for the next 60 years. He worked as an analyst and portfolio manager, managing assets for both institutional and private clients at Moody’s Investor Service, Lionel D. Edie, Smith Barney, and Citibank. In 1972, the YMCA Retirement Fund was struggling to meet its pension obligations. With the history of his prison camp experience and his father serving as a chaplain of the YMCA Armed Services in France during World War I, Jim chose to once again commit his life to the betterment of others and joined the YMCA Retirement Fund, where he took on the responsibility, as Chief Investment Officer, for managing the pension assets of YMCA employees across the country. Jim commuted to New York from his home in Princeton, New Jersey for 33 years. He was an active Sunday school teacher, Deacon, and Elder of the Nassau Presby te rian Church in Princeton throughout his adult life. Some evenings on his way home, he would get off the train in New Brunswick, where he taught economics to students at Rutgers University.
In 1988, having retired from the YMCA after 15 years of service, Jim founded and led Princeton Capital Management to continue to serve the private clients whose money he had managed for decades. Jim was actively engaged with the firm, serving clients’ interests until early this year. The partners of the firm will miss his insight and presence. Jim served as a trustee of the National Presbyterian Foundation, a trustee and trustee emeritus of the Center of Theological Inquiry, on the board of the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State University and on the advisory board of ABS Ventures. He advised and supported organizations dedicated to the development of future generations, including the Newgrange School, the Trenton Children’s Chorus, Trinity Counseling Services, the American Boychoir School, the Princeton Family YMCA, and the Jerusalem YMCA. At the age of 92, Jim died in his home of natural causes on April 29, 2016. He will be dearly missed by his wife Nancye; his four children Karen, Hugh, Allen, and Dudley; his 12 grandchildren; and his 9 great-grandchildren, all of whom have benefitted from his love. A service of remembrance and celebration will be held Sunday, May 8 at 2 pm at the Nassau Presby terian Church in Princeton, New Jersey. Memorial gifts may be made to the Princeton Family YMCA, 59 Paul Robeson Place, Pr inceton, NJ, 08540.

NEGOTIATING IN A HOT MARKET: KNOW YOUR MAXIMUM PRICE The spring real estate market is in full swing, and buyers are on the prowl, looking to scoop up their next home-sweet-home. But it's not just other buyers that can have an impact on your home search: Hot markets also mean sellers are more likely to raise their asking prices – sometimes even after you've made a full-price offer but before the seller has signed the contract. That's a situation most likely to occur when a property garners a lot of interest – perhaps more than a seller was anticipating. As a buyer, you can decide to raise your offer – but be sure you don't get so swept up in the moment that you wind up paying more than you can afford. Buying a home is an emotional process, and once you've made a mental commitment to buy, it can be very hard to walk away. Knowing your max price ahead of time can prevent you from making a major financial misstep. Of course, if the seller has already accepted the buyer's offer and signed the contract and then decides to withdraw the offer, it's another matter entirely. In the next column, we'll look at the “point of no return” for buyers and sellers under contract.
