Jeff Nathanson will be stepping down as executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) at the end of 2016, the ACP announced yesterday. The Arts Council on Witherspoon Street has experienced a significant transformation in the 11 years since Mr. Nathanson took the helm in 2005. “Jeff successfully led the Arts Council through an exciting time of tremendous growth for the organization,” stated Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “He’s been an effective and effusive champion for the role of the arts in building community. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him, and am very sad to see him move on.” ACP Board of Trustees President Ted Deutsch echoed the mayor’s praise, describing Mr. Nathanson as “an outstanding leader not just for the arts community, but for the Greater Princeton community as a whole. His in-depth experience in arts program development and management helped the organization dramatically expand and improve its arts-related offerings over the past decade. At the same time he has kept the ACP focused on its historic mission to serve the local community through free, accessible and inclusive events and scholarship programs for children and families.” Before taking charge of the Arts Council in 2005, Mr. Nathanson led the International Sculpture Center at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton and served as guest curator and project manager for the Princeton University Art Museum, International Schools Services and the Princeton Public Library. He also plays guitar with the Band Box project, a fusion of jazz and rock with a heavy dose of world influences and has played locally with Minister William Carter’s gospel group. In an interview with Town Topics last year, Mr. Nathanson stated that the high point of his ten years at Arts Council was the ability provided by the new building, constructed during the first years of his tenure, to offer more to the community. “The ACP is at a whole other level from where it had been, with new marketing strategies and increased outreach and partnerships, more classes, concerts, and exhibitions. And every year since we reopened we’ve received a citation of excellence from the NJ State Council on Continued on Page 9

Crumiller, Quinn, Are Top Vote-getters in Council Race

Incumbent Jenny Crumiller and newcomer Tim Quinn won the most votes in Tuesday’s Democratic primary race for two Princeton Council seats, beating out fellow contenders Leticia Fraga and Anne Neumann. These are unofficial results. According to the Mercer County Clerk’s Office, Ms. Crumiller earned 2,587 votes, or 31.42 percent of the vote, while Mr. Quinn received 2,168, or 26.33 percent. Following closely behind, Ms. Fraga got 2,124 votes, which is 25.80 percent, and Ms. Neumann earned 1,348, or 16.37 percent. Ms. Crumiller served on Princeton Borough Council prior to consolidation, and has been a member of Princeton Council since the merger in 2013. Her campaign was focused on the issues of affordability and maintaining the town’s character. Mr. Quinn was president and vice president of the Princeton Board of Education and is a current member of the town’s Planning Board. He is the marketing and communications director of the Princeton Public Library. In his campaign, he stressed the importance of affordable housing and the effect of

teardowns on neighborhoods throughout Princeton. Ms. Fraga would have been the first Latina to be elected to municipal office in Princeton if she had won. Ms. Neumann, who is a Princeton native, is known to voters from her work on various boards and commissions. Seeking a second term, Mayor Liz Lempert ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and earned 4,007 votes. There were 18 write-ins. In the Republican primary, there were no candidates for Council. But Peter Marks ran as a

Republican, unopposed, for mayor. He earned 476 votes. Winners of Tuesday’s election will go on the November general election ballot, where they will likely run unopposed. In the presidential primary race, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were declared the winners in New Jersey. Ms. Clinton defeated Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont after consistently leading in the polls and winning over most of the New Jersey Democratic party leaders. —Anne Levin

Bank Street Infrastructure Challenges Confront Residents and Town Officials Tucked away off Nassau Street, between Bayard Lane and Chambers Street, Bank Street could be mistaken for an alley. The narrow, single-block street of modest Victorian homes, all close to the street and close to one another, has always seemed out of place in the midst of the bustle of Nassau Street and the grandeur of much of the rest of the town — and now Bank Street finds itself a sub-

ject of controversy. Though many of the houses have obviously been carefully maintained or renovated, the street itself is suffering from neglect and disrepair. Residents and municipal officials agree on the problem. “The street needs to be repaired,” Mayor Liz Lempert stated. “It’s on the list. It’s a priority.” Continued on Page 10

Princeton Prepares For Zika Virus

The Princeton Health Department is taking their fight against the emerging Zika virus to residents’ front doors in Princeton. Health officials will be distributing door hangers throughout town over the next few months. The hangers provide information on what residents can do to limit mosquito breeding in their yard, along with contact information for Mercer County Mosquito Control and the Princeton Health Department. People can reduce the spread of Aedes mosquitos by eliminating sites around their homes where mosquitos may breed by getting rid of containers and any other sites where water may collect and mosquitoes lay their eggs. Back yard items such as bird baths, potted plants with saucers, children’s toys and roof gutters can be mosquito breeding grounds if not cleaned out or if water sits stagnant for several days. Princeton Health Department also reminds travelers to protect themselves during the outbreak of Zika virus disease. It is ongoing in the Caribbean, Central America, the Pacific Islands, and South America. The virus can cause severe birth defects and is transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. For more information, visit www.cdc. gove/zika/index.html.

“MUSIC FOR THE EYES”: The building designed by Farewell Architects for the Stony BrookMillstone Watershed Association has brought in more visitors and expanded programs while promoting sustainability.

Watershed Association Is Thriving After One Year in New Building When administrators and trustees of the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association started thinking about the need for a new facility back in 2007, space was the primary motivation. But by the time the Watershed Center for Environmental Advocacy, Science, and Education opened eight years later, the project had become as much

about sustainability and being “green” as it was about making more room for the classes, exhibits, and laboratories that are at the heart of this 67-year-old sanctuary in Hopewell Township.

TOPICS Of the Town Designed by Farewell Architects, the building has made a dramatic difference in how the 930-acre expanse educates the public about becoming better env ironmental stewards. “There has been a quantitative and qualitative impact on our world here,” said Jim Waltman, the organization’s executive director. “A lot more people are coming, and we’re interacting with them. We have more space, and more beautiful space. But more importantly, the building has allowed us to expand and broaden the content of our programs.” It was during the creation of a campus master plan that the focus was broadened to prioritize environmentally friendly practices as well as creating more space. “The idea was to be as ‘green’ as we could, and really set an example,” Mr. Waltman said. “We did a lot of thinking about what kinds of programs we wanted to host in the future. There was a nice coming together of thinking about the building and the programs, with the idea that we’d design and construct a really green building and have educational programs about what we did. It all kind of evolved.” Construction finally began in 2013 and the opening was May 2, 2015. The project took longer than usual to move from the idea stage to construction because of the economic downturn. “We had raised a couple million dollars after we started in 2008,” said Mr. Waltman. “And then, the economy tanked. But actually, it gave us a little more time to think and make refinements.” The Watershed Association was founded in 1949 by a group of community leaders who were concerned about agricultural runoff, soil erosion, and stream sedimentation. The focus has evolved since then to the idea of protecting clean water and the environment through cons er vat ion, advocacy, science, and education. As more programs have been

added over the years, space has become an issue. “We had an old nature center that was much beloved — maybe loved to death,” said Mr. Waltman. “But we didn’t have formal classrooms. There was a room that could hold about 30 people, and there were no restrooms associated with that classroom.” The new space includes two large classrooms that can expand into one, a new laboratory with new tools, and sophisticated technologies. Designed to reduce energy usage, the building includes such features as cool sensors that detect how bright a room is and send a signal to automatic dimmers, highly efficient lighting and hot water systems, and an Continued on Next Page

increased reliance on natural daylight. “We’ve been able to have a greater emphasis on STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics],” Mr. Waltman added. “Last year, we had all of the kids in the sixth grade at John Witherspoon Middle School for two days. Part of what we taught them about was the technologies that allow us to lighten the impact on our environment.” The Watershed also hosts the Watershed STEM Academy, geared to teens entering 10th to 12th grade who are interested in science careers. “We have a small computer learning center with workstations,” Mr. Waltman said. “They’ll be learning how to use GIF to do mapping of environmental features, and how to use computer-based architectural drawing. We couldn’t touch something like that before.” Improved programs have also included an adult education series that has been successful, bringing in college level professors and weekend field trips. “We’ve sold out every one,” Mr. Waltman said. A list of community groups that have made use of the Watershed Center during the past year includes var ious depar tments from Princeton University, the Princeton Area Community Foundation, the Princeton Food Salon, the Arts Council of Princeton, the Princeton Garden Club, Morven Museum and Garden, and HomeFront, among others. Since water is the main focus of the organization, it makes sense that the building was designed to be a model of how to conserve water and reduce the polluted runoff from the site. Two rain gardens, a green roof, and a water “capture” at the roof line were all part of an effort to improve the site’s water quality and provide an example to others of how it can be done. “The essence of this building is that it give focus to human occupation and the natural world,” architect Michael Farewell wrote in an email. “It tries to make evident the interconnectedness of people and environment, a sort of ecological lens. Its signature feature is the overflow scupper at the entry, a rain harvesting cascade that splashes on diabase boulders and irrigates a rain garden — the cycle of water, geology, landscape, and people placed in the foreground. And great music for the eyes!” The project took a long time, but it was worth the wait. “We gave Michael this crazy challenge to design a spectacular green building, one that would tempt people in but also make them want to go back outside,” Mr. Waltman said. “It is a beautiful, spectacular building that does things I think are rare — the phenomenal sightlines, the wonderful use of natural light. We couldn’t be happier.” —Anne Levin

TRENTON TIMES: BY DAISY FITCH

OCTOBER 5, 1985

It was a house you'd never notice, small, drab and unassuming. The house, on a corner lot off a busy street in Princeton, was partially hidden by overgrown forsythia bushes and large dark evergreens. But one day, three years ago, a young man in white overalls, started what would turn into a remarkable transformation. Kevin Wilkes, then in his last year of architecture at Princeton University, had to completely gut the interior of the prefab ranch house before he could build his "modest mansion." (His house is pictured in a new book by Donald Prowler, Modest Mansions: Design Ideas for Luxurious Living in Less Space, published by Rodale Press.) With very little money to spend on real estate, Wilkes had set out to find the worst house in Princeton, a house no one else could possibly want. "I found it. It wasn't just drab or unimaginative, it was a nightmare," he recalls today; "A woman had lived in the house with 10 cats and no litter box. She kept her clothes in the shower stall. After she died, the house was shut up for 4 months, but no one bothered to clear out the refrigerator. I made the mistake of opening it." But, as perhaps only an architect could detect, he felt there was hope. The house was in a neighborhood that was beginning to improve, it was within walking distance of the university and it was a project he could rebuild in stages. There was nothing worth saving except for the foundations, the exterior shell and one set of windows. "Its history was both sad and not worth acknowledging. "We carted away three dumpster loads - 90 cubic yards - of overgrown shrubbery, deteriorating walls, decaying floors and discarded furniture." Considering the house had had no maintenance in years, it was in surprisingly good structural condition, a prefab house that came from Ohio and was assembled here in 1953, according to Wilkes. There are two identical houses next door. The house, with 1,000 square feet and a full basement, sold, in those days, for $1,500. The 60 by 150-foot lot sold for an additional $5,000. "Eleven of these houses were built in Princeton before local builders and architects teamed up and persuaded the local zoning board to declare them structurally unsafe," says Wilkes. Thirty years later, Wilkes bought the house and lot for $75,000. He faced three serious problems: bad drainage and a very wet basement, complicated zoning requirements on a narrow corner lot with very little backyard and two 25-foot front yard setback requirements making it difficult for Wilkes to add on to the house, and finally the front lawn had become a thoroughfare for the graduate students who lived across the street in the Butler tract. The drainage and thoroughfare problems were easier to solve than designing a long narrow house, Wilkes found. A friend and landscape architect, Alan Goodheart, chose not to build a fence in the front of the house. Instead he regraded the land into a bank which acts as a subtle barrier. "No one walks up the bank now and raising the land also solved the drainage problem," says Wilkes. A fence for privacy and a terrace were added on the long narrow back yard. An instant lawn appeared one day and a hammock pavilion was built to provide a place to relax on warm summer days. But the sign that something different was truly happening came with the appearance of a black granite-like obelisk at the front entrance of the house. "That caused a lot of people to stop and ask me what I was doing," says Wilkes. "One neighbor down the block even called the zoning board with hopes that they would declare my design illegal. Most people were a lot nicer." The obelisk, an ancient architectural form, not only marks the entrance to the house, but with a fluorescent tip that glows at night, serves as a night light and a welcoming beacon, points out Wilkes. Wilkes added an entrance vestibule that doubles as an airlock. On one side of this entry is a powder room, on the other side, a large closet. His front door came from an old Brownstone in New York. He painted the frames around the door a rich blue. He likes an entrance that makes a statement. In designing his long, narrow house, separation of space became very important. Each room has its own character. The dining living room is restful and comforting and leads off onto the terrace. The kitchen, which sits at the center of the house, is dramatic. From the front vestibule, one enters through the dining living room and immediately you see the white and black tiled kitchen with its skylight which leads on to the end of the house, a huge sunken library with a towering two story obelisk shaped fireplace. Above and to the sides of the library are two private bedroom suites, each with its own private dressing space, large closet, shelf space and private bath. “The obelisk marks the entrance and the final destination” says Wilkes. The outside of the house he kept more conventional “in deference to my neighbors.” He cedar shingled the outside and built a small maze for the service entrance, which contains spaces for storage, garbage and mail. “A maze discourages people from wandering around the back entrance and with gravel on the ground, footsteps are clearly heard. It’s a good security device,” he says. The home was built by Wilkes and his partner, Richard W. Langbauer. They met as students at Princeton and recently formed Princeton Design Guild with offices in Kingston where “we bring together the best carpenters, masons, plumbers, roofers and craftsmen we can find. We believe in building – and in building well – what we design.”

Innovative University Courses Explore New Worlds in New Ways COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540

Taking notes at lectures, participating in preceptorial discussions, writing papers and exams — several Princeton University courses recently awarded grants for innovation will be branching out far beyond these traditional activities in coming semesters. “The Environmental Nexus is about the intersection of the climate, food, water, and biodiversity,” said Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor Stephen Pacala, discussing a new course he is creating. “The real problem the current generation faces is that it’s not enough just to solve one of those problems.” Emphasizing the multifaceted, interdisciplinary nature of the course, Mr. Pacala added, “It’s got ethicists involved and social scientists and economists, because there are so many different dimensions to the problem. I want to get the largest possible cross-campus conversation going.” Also pursuing a multidisciplinar y curriculum, assistant African-American Studies Professor Anna Arabindan-Kesson’s students will draw on resources of the Princeton University Art Museum to examine “the significance of slavery

as a recurrent theme in the art of the Black Diaspora,” through the study of art objects, institutions, and monuments. T he course work w ill include field trips, visiting artists and scholars, and, for the students’ final project, the creation of an online exhibition that explores the representation of slavery in contemporary America through artworks held at Princeton. Mixing history, classics and theater in his new cours e, “Reading Con stantinople: A Journey to the Capital of Byzantium,” Professor Emmanuel Bourbouhakis will assign his students to take on the identities of medieval personae in researching the legacy created by the City of Constantine, capital of the Byzantine Empire at the crossroads of West and East. The course, according to the assistant classics professor, “will combine theatrical reading of Byzantine literature with study of the monuments by which Constantinople forged its usable past to become a ‘New Rome,’ ruling the emergent Christian East as the coveted metropolis of the Middle Ages.” Meanwhile, history professor Jeremy Adelman will be extending his online world history course, “The Global History Lab,” already enrolling thousands of students from around the world, to include students in refugee camps in Kenya (mostly Sudan, S out h S udan, and S o mali refugees), in Jordan (mostly Syrian refugees) and other refugees in the city of Amman. The overseas students w i l l p ar t i cip ate on l i n e alongside Princeton University students in historical research teams. Mr. Adelman’s graduate students will be working in the refugee camps and in Amman to train tutors and provide necessary support structure for the student refugees. Focusing closer to home, history professor Alison Isenberg and Purcell Cars o n , Wo o d r o w W i l s o n School documentary film specialist, will be collaborating in adding new dimensions to Ms. Carson’s “Documentary Film and the Cit y” course. Their students will explore the 1960s unrest in Trenton, including the events surrounding the death of a black college student who was shot by a young white police officer. Students will integrate history and documentary cinema in producing their own research papers and video sketches. “This project is both historical and timely, since it helps expand our understanding of powerful issues like ‘police brutality’ and ‘looting’ as depicted in the press today and through the past,” Ms. Isenberg explained. “The course encourages students to consider how the voice of the historian can help move this public conversation forward. Toward that end, we are harnessing the tools of documentar y cinema to assemble archives and community voices to create

a work of public memory and to grapple with the human dimensions of what was lost during one fateful night of tragic unrest in Trenton in April 1968.” Twenty-two faculty propos als to develop new classes or redesign existing courses received funding this year through Princeton University’s 250th Anniversary Fund for Innovation in Undergraduate Education. The awards criteria emphasized exploration of new pedagogical methods to enhance student learning, foster interdisciplinary connections, and redefine teaching and assessment practices. “Transformative teaching and learning is one of the single most important things we do as a campus,” said Dean of the College Jill Dolan. “Many of this year’s proposals demonstrated broad at tention to important social issues and a commitment to using cutting-edge, creative classroom practices to address them through interdisciplinar y knowledge. I’m delighted by all of this innovative work and look for ward to seeing how these projects will spark more pedagogical creativity in the future.” —Donald Gilpin

REPAIRS NEEDED: Bank Street needs street repairs and underground power lines, a subject of controversy between residents and town officials. Undergrounding electrical, telephone and cable lines could cost each property owner about $70,000, but the mayor and city engineers are seeking less expensive alternatives. (Photo by Donald Gilpin)

The problem — “an issue, not a problem,” according to Assistant Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton — is the cost for putting the overhead utility wires — electric, cable and telephone lines — underground: about $1.9 million or about $70,000 per owner, as quoted by PSE&G, Verizon, and Comcast. NJ Board of Public Utilities says that the property owners are responsible for that expense, and other Bank Street improvements continue to be delayed as municipal officials and residents seek options for deal-

ing with the power line issue. “It’s a very expensive project,” Ms. Lempert stated. She and her staff have been meeting with contacts at utility companies in trying to bring the price down to make it more manageable for property owners. “We will continue to see if there are any other options, any flexibility in terms of the work needed to be done.” The mayor emphasized that she and her staff had spent considerable time on this issue. “We know it’s an important project,” she stated, “one of our historic streets in desperate need of repair.” Wires are underground at the top and bottom of the street, but numerous overhead wires, many right outside of residents’ windows, clutter the rest of the street. Ms. Stockton added that the town had held many discussions concerning Bank Street improvements, most recently a neighborhood meeting last month, and that Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker had been enlisted to help seek less expensive options and flexibility from the Board of Public Utilities and the power companies in resolving the issues. Noting that Bank Street poses additional challenges because of its narrowness (“a tight work area”), Ms. Stockton mentioned that plans were mostly in place for sewer replacements, new water lines, storm sewers and repair of sidewalks and curbs and that she hoped to see a decision on the power lines this summer. For Tony Nelessen, Bank Street property owner for the past 38 years, the decision to proceed with improvements cannot come soon enough. In a letter to Town Topics last week, Mr. Nelessen described Bank Street as a “ghetto street” and decried “the poles and the gaggle of wires with the radiation from EMFs literally feet in front of people’s windows,” with an accompanying degradation of property values, despite continuing high taxes. “There is no other street like it in Princeton,” he said, “and it could be a real architectural and historic gem that could enhance the character and quality of downtown and increase revenues from taxes and potential improvements.”

In a subsequent telephone inter v iew he stated that Bank Street had been the victim of “benign neglect for 40 years. It’s in deplorable condition with dangling wires and trees overgrown and falling on my roof.” Mr. Nelessen, a professor of urban planning and design at Rutgers’ Bloustein School, expressed frustration at the lack of action by the municipality and the historic commission. He mentioned numerous meetings over the years without results. “Nobody is doing anything,” he said. “And I’m afraid that because it is a complicated issue, nothing will be done again.” Municipal officials seemed to share Mr. Nelessen’s frustrations with the delays in upgrading Bank Street and they expressed a determination to come to a decision and make needed improvements to the street. “It’s one of the most unique streets in Princeton,” Mr. Nelessen stated. “It has a unique character and they should take advantage of it.” —Donald Gilpin

Free History Tour By Bicycle on D&R Canal

The Delaware & Raritan Canal Watch will hold a free history tour by bicycle along the D&R Canal towpath on Saturday, June 18, from Kingston to Griggstown and back.

Mailbox Council Launching Initiative to Address Teardowns, Out-of-Scale Construction

To the Editor: The Princeton Council has launched an initiative to address the spate of teardowns and out-of-scale, out-ofplace new construction occurring in many neighborhoods throughout town. As members of the Planning Board subcommittee tasked with spearheading this comprehensive review and revision of our residential zoning, we would like to update the community on the effort and provide an overview of the process. The initiative will depend on robust public engagement and citizen input, and as we move deeper into the process we will be setting up a website to keep the community informed and engaged. We will also be seeking input from residents through neighborhood meetings and town-wide meetings. In May we retained the consulting firm RBA Group to help guide us through the process, and on May 18th we held our first organizing meeting to set the schedule and next steps. The Council decided to hire an outside consultant because the option of having our planning staff overhaul the zoning regulations was not feasible except as a long term project, and the growing pace of change in our neighborhoods requires an expedited response. After interviewing several consultants, we chose the RBA Group because they will be able to bring perspective and sensitivity to our challenges through their experience in working with other communities, as well as their depth of expertise in analyzing the economic and environmental impact of changing regulations that will help to inform our deliberations. The consultants will be documenting neighborhood characteristics and outcomes of recent residential development and identifying areas of Princeton’s neighborhoods that share common characteristics and attributes. Based on the analysis they will recommend short term and longterm policy and regulatory actions. The recommendations may include additions or changes to zoning ordinances, site plan review ordinances, enforcement standards, and the master plan. We are striving for as much public input as possible

In addition to the more structured avenues for communication, we welcome residents to contact us directly with questions and concerns by email at llempert@princetonnj. gov and jcrumiller@princetonnj.gov.

Concerned About the Waste of Energy From Open Doors of Air-Conditioned Shops

To the Editor: With the arrival of summer 2016, I must comment that last summer, some of Princeton’s downtown retail shops seemed to be trying to air-condition the universe. Walking along our town’s streets on hot days, too often one felt chilled air blasting from storefront doors propped wide open. This seemed to be an attempt to lure in those shoppers who might never otherwise have guessed that a modern emporium would have a temperature-controlled interior. Even if an individual business can afford this incredible waste of energy, our warming planet cannot. (A law against this practice was recently passed in new york City.) Let us appreciate the fine local stores that show respect for both our intelligence and our environment, by keeping their doors closed when their air-conditioning is running. Those are the doors that we will be happy to enter. CARoLInE HAnCoCk Laurel Road

Supporter Puts “Trump” in Cement At the Princeton Shopping Center

To the Editor: I came across a pro-Trump message that a supporter had fingered in the wet cement at the Princeton Shopping Center. Being an avowed Democrat and a Trump critic, my first inclination was to walk over to Ace Hardware, purchase some paint and a brush and add a preceding epithet to the Trump logo. I refrained knowing that I’d sully my brand or the brand of the candidate I support by doing so. And ironically, letting the name stand or rather sit in the cement actually speaks more to why voters should not vote for Trump than anything I could add to his name. Whoever chose to finger his name in the cement was hewing to the Trump mindset of contempt and disdain for legal and social norms. norms that are already perilously weakened as showcased daily in the media — social and otherwise. All mock seriousness and snark aside, I’m really frightened by the current political state of affairs in our country as well as globally. I hope that the inherent sanity and goodness I believe exists in most people in America will prevail in november. AnDy EPSTEIn Longview Drive

Princeton-Blairstown’s Youth Golf Outing Raises $20,000 for Summer Program

To the Editor: Last month Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC) held its first annual Links to youth Golf outing at Fox Hollow Golf Club in Branchburg, n.J. The event raised more than $20,000 for PBC, and more specifically our Summer Bridge Program, which addresses the “summer learning gap” for at-risk youth. More than 40 golfers participated in the event with several others joining for dinner and cocktails. The winning foursome included Mike Dawson, from new Brunswick; Varnell Johnson, from East Brunswick; Antoine Johnson, from new Brunswick; and Derek Simpkins, from Ringoes. our longest drive winner was Scott Stogner, from Westfield and the closest to the pin competition winner was Al Gomez from Somerset.

Community Displayed Strong Support During Parkinson’s Awareness Month

To the Editor: April was Parkinson’s Awareness Month and the Princeton community displayed their strong support with donations and efforts to raise awareness of this disease. The Parkinson Alliance is grateful to area merchants for two events that raised awareness of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and funds for much needed research. For the seventh straight year, McCaffrey’s offered their customers the option of donating to The Parkinson Alliance when they checked out at all four of their stores. As a result, over $5,500 was raised for research. The following restaurants participated in the 7th Annual Princeton Dines out for Parkinson’s Disease Research, Blue Point Grill, Despana, Eno Terra, Gennaroís, Mediterra, PJ’s Pancake House, Teresa Caffe, The Peacock Inn, Trattoria Procaccini, and Witherspoon Grill. When diners enjoyed a meal at any of these restaurants from April 22 through April 28, a percentage of the proceeds were donated to The Parkinson Alliance. our organization raises funds for the most promising PD research that will improve the quality of life for those living with PD and ultimately, help find a cure. While we fund research nationally, The Parkinson Alliance is a resource in our local area for those living with PD. We thank the community for its generous support.

Huge Thanks to Community for Supporting Housing Initiatives of Princeton Fundriaser

To the Editor: Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) hosted a fundraiser reception for Matthew Desmond, author of the best-selling book Evicted, immediately following his talk at Labyrinth Books last month. Desmond’s heartbreaking book is considered a landmark work of scholarship that looks closely at the issue of poverty in our country by telling compelling stories of real people (mostly women) trying to find a decent place to live for themselves and their children. The event was a wonderful success. Thank you to all who attended. We also want to thank those in the community who came together to help make it happen: Chambers Properties allowed us to use the vacant storefront at 20 nassau as our venue, Jammin’ Crepes provided the delicious hors d’oeuvres, and kelly Mitchell curated the wines provided by Cool Vines. Partnering with Labyrinth Books was a sheer pleasure, and I hope HIP can work with them again to bring to Princeton important writers who can help inform all of us about the issues that our clients at HIP, and too many others, face. And a huge thank-you to Matthew Desmond for making the journey from Boston and sharing his thoughts and, importantly, his feelings about the people he writes about. We all learned a great deal.

Celebrating Excellence In Education The 2015-2016 school year has been filled with students’ accomplishments, district recognition and the outstanding work reflecting the talents of our educators and support staff. Our four elementary schools flourished through math, science and arts residencies, outdoor garden classrooms, school concerts, art exhibits and special events. Students and staff have also received the following recognitions:

• U.S. News and World Report ranked Princeton High School among the top 10 Best High Schools of New Jersey. PHS was ranked #1 of all comprehensive New Jersey high schools on the SAT scores. Our 2015 mean Critical Reading Score was 620; our mean Writing Score was 620; and our mean Math Score was 633; for a combined mean of 1873. • 87% of the AP scores were 3 or higher from the 1580 tests administered which earned students advanced college credit. 85% of our 2015 graduates were accepted into four-year colleges/universities. The Princeton High School Class of 2015 had 11 National Merit Scholars and 61 Letters of Commendation. • Sophomore Matthew Wang was named a regional finalist in the 2015 Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology. Matthew was one of only three finalists in New Jersey after entering the contest to obtain some experience in research. His project, which he worked on over the summer, is on X-ray astrophysics, a new field for him that he hopes to pursue further. Also placing in the competition was Carolyn Wang, one of 16 statewide regional semi-finalists. • Twenty-seven Princeton High School students attended the Junior State of America (JSA) Mid-States Convention, with many active as “pro” and “con” speakers at over 56 debates. Congratulations to the whole team, advisor Kim Groome, and to JSA member Jamacia Ponder for her Best Speaker award. JSA is a national non-profit with student-run chapters. The organization supports students in becoming active, involved and responsible citizens, voters and leaders as they engage in political discourse. • The Princeton High School math team took third place at the annual Princeton University Math Competition (PUMaC) held at the Princeton University campus on Nov. 21. PUMaC is a prestigious high school math competition and draws some of the best math students throughout the country and the world. • Princeton High School took two teams to the regional Ethics Bowl competition at Villanova University, an event where students discuss ethically-tough cases in a collegial manner and are scored for the depth of their thought and the quality and cordiality of their responses to their peers. Advisor Doug Levandowski is extremely proud of the teams’ accomplishments, noting that the goals for the day were met: namely, to have fun, think about some tough ethical issues, and have those thoughts productively challenged by peers from other schools. • The Princeton High School debate team once again made a strong showing, this time at the 2016 Newark Invitational. Highlights include: Varsity PF CHAMPION team of Tiffany Yuan and Maddy Triolo, with Celia Silver & Pranav Baskar placing as Octafinalists. Maddy Triolo also won 1st speaker; Tiffany Yuan 8th speaker, and Pranav Baskar, 14th Speaker. The Novice team dominated as well: five of the 16 octofinalists were from PHS. Congratulations to all students and their advisors. • Princeton High School’s two teams made a strong showing at the Shore Bowl, a regional competition that focuses on ocean-related topics, with one team winning first place in Division B and the other team winning second place in Division A. The Shore Bowl brings together high school students from NJ, NY and PA. Topics included the biology, chemistry, physics, geology of the ocean, as well as navigation, geography, related history and literature. • Congratulations to Jeanette Paredes’ class at John Witherspoon Middle School for winning the “Read to Succeed” prize by successfully engaging in a variety of reading activities. • Congratulations to Johnson Park Elementary for receiving a Certificate of Appreciation from Monarch Watch. Monarch Watch helps coordinate Monarch Waystations, that provide milkweeds, nectar plants, and shelter for monarch butterflies throughout their annual cycle of reproduction and migration. The school received recognition for establishing and maintaining Monarch Waystation No. 12715 that contributes to the continuation of the Monarch Butterfly migration in North America. • The Princeton High School Model United Nations Club once again had a stellar showing at the annual Model UN conference hosted by Georgetown University. The following students won special recognition for their strong preparation and use of diplomacy skills: Jeremy Cohen, CIA-Office of Congressional Affairs/Public Relations, Verbal Commendation Ben Donnelly-Fine, European Union: Energy Crisis, Outstanding Delegate Nikhita Salgame, Iranian Oil Consortium-1954, Strategist for Standard Oil of NJ, Outstanding Delegate, Grace Wampold, Papal Conclave-2013, Archbishop of Genoa, Verbal Commendation. • The Princeton High School Chess team brought home the first-place trophy from the Shore High School Chess League tournament for the fourth year in a row. Congratulations to the whole team and to advisor Graciela Elia. • Princeton High School seniors Junhong “John” Chen, Katie VanderKam and Thomas Morris brought home three of the total five top finalist awards from the Delaware Valley Science Council awards ceremony. John, Katie and Thomas garnered top honors, which include a cash prize, after competing as semi-finalists among 103 students in the region recognized for their outstanding abilities in science and math. • Three Princeton High School students have been awarded scholarships by the Foreign Language Educators of New Jersey (FLENJ): Cynthia Ma in Japanese, Marie-Louise James in Italian; and Lydia Duff in Mandarin.

National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Jane Chu has approved more than $82 million to fund local arts projects and partnerships in the NEA’s second major funding announcement for fiscal year 2016. Included in this announcement is an Art Works award of $10,000 to Princeton-based People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos to support it’s literature reading, writing, and discussion programs for men and women in re-entry facilities in Trenton, New Jersey as well as one program for new Spanish-speaking immigrants in Staten Island, New York. The Art Works category suppor ts the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing work, lifelong learning in the arts, and public engagement with the arts through 13 arts disciplines or fields. “The arts are all around us, enhancing our lives in ways both subtle and obvious, expected and unexpected,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “Supporting projects like the one from People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos offers more opportunities to engage in the arts every day.” “We’re thrilled and honored by the Art Works award, which helps us create wider access to the arts for more people who may not otherwise experience the hope and joy ignited by enduring short stories,” said People & Stories head Pat Andres. People & Stories /Gente y Cuentos believes in the power of literature to change lives. Through oral readings and seminar-style discussions of literary short stories, the organization invites underserved participants to new understandings of themselves, of others, and of the world. Over the course of more than 40 years and serving more than 40,000 people, the organization has found that those in transition are particularly open to it’s benefits. Plans are to integrate programs with other organizations focused on critical life transitions: prisoners moving to probation, half way house residents rejoining community, immigrants working toward citizenship, veterans re-entering civilian society, seniors moving to new stages.

ART REVIEW

“A Strange New Beauty” — Communing With Degas in the Company of Hemingway Degas was another wonder painter. I’ve never seen a bad Degas. —Ernest Hemingway, hanks to a press pass that permitted me into “A Strange New Beauty: Edgar Degas” ahead of the paying public, I had the exhibit galleries more or less to myself for one precious, quietly hallucinatory hour. What follows should be about what I saw during a Sunday morning early opening at the Museum of Modern Art. But when the task of commenting on monotypes by Degas (1834-1917) coincides with the death of Muhammad Ali (19422016), all bets are off. If you were hitchhiking abroad in the 60s and the people picking you up heard where you were from, they would respond in elemental terms, such as “America good! Kennedy good!” After Kennedy had been assassinated and Johnson was in office, it was “America no good!” And it got worse, with Vietnam, the killings of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, and the rise of Nixon. Except that by then, there was Ali, and whether you were in Cairo or Kabul, Paris or Tehran, you would hear “America good! Ali! Ali! The Greatest!” Having seen what happened or didn’t happen in May 1965 at Lewiston, Maine, the phantom knockout, Liston on his back, Ali dancing, you began to realize here was someone in possession of a gift, another sort of “strange new beauty,” that transcended sports. So here I am, with notes on Degas scribbled at MoMA, Ali dead, and the November election looming like literature’s great white whale, with the news just in from Smithsonian online that there are whales alive today who were born before Melville wrote Moby Dick. Think about it. Certain bowhead whales in the waters off Alaska are over 200 years old. If that’s the “true gen,” as Ernest Hemingway liked to say, it beats even Ali, even Degas, at least until I think back on what I saw on that altogether unusual Sunday morning. Enter Mr. Hemingway Hemingway, who had a passion for both boxing and art, put it well: Degas was “a wonder painter.” The other “wonder painter” he mentioned in the same breath with Degas was “Mr. Paul Cézanne,” according to Lillian Ross in her famous New Yorker profile, “How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen?” The comments came during a visit to the Impressionist galleries at the Met, with Ms. Ross, Hemingway’s wife Mary, and Patrick, his son from his second marriage. The Papa-unbound commentary, delivered while taking slugs from a hip flask, is, to quote Mr. John Keats, “a joy forever.” Although it was Cézanne who taught him most (“I learned how to make a landscape from Mr. Paul Cézanne by walking through the Luxembourg Museum a thousand times with an empty gut”), he thought enough of Degas to put him in the novel he was delivering to Scribners at the time of his visit to the Met. In Across the River and Into the Trees, when the Colonel looks out the window, he sees the Grand Canal “as grey as though Degas had painted it on one of his greyest days.”

Since I find myself, in effect, viewing “A Strange New Beauty” in the company of Hemingway with the news of Ali’s passing still fresh, Papa would be telling me Degas was the sort of fighter who kept on his toes and never let them hit him solid. But if Hemingway really had been on the hushed sixth floor of MoMA with me the other morning, he’d have been whispering. There’s such a depth of silence in the nearly empty gallery, I seem to hear the creaking of the floorboards in Degas’s studio, which was also his dressing room, much to the consternation of his friends. Told he should keep his art apart from his clothes, he said he liked it that way, it’s more convenient when you’re living “the life of a worker.” Yep, that’s him moving about, creak-creak, Hemingway hears it too, we can even hear the rustle of his housemaid’s skirts, and

the bell, you don’t know how it’s going to look when you put the paper in the press, ‘a terrifying moment,’ says Mr. Degas. How will it come out? Looking like life or like death? Hemingway has obvious issues with the curator’s wall text quoting J. K. Huysmans’s claim that Degas regarded women with “an attentive cruelty, a patient hatred.” Wrapping his arm around my shoulder, he hauls me over to The Star, a radiant pastel of a ballerina in ecstasy. “A woman hater made this?” he says, far from whispering now. “Look at the light on her face! Like any other fool in his 20s, Mr. Degas dreamed of having a nice little wife, simple, quiet, who understood his follies, someone he could spend his working life with. By the time he’s in his 30s he knows it’s a fantasy, he’s asking himself, ‘What would I want a

way’s not worried. He’s gazing at Degas’s photograph of a seated Auguste Renoir and a standing Stéphane Mallarmé, whose memorial to the “delicate lines and movements exquisite or grotesque” and “strange new beauty” of Degas’s late monotypes gave the MoMA curators a title. “Sylvia had this photo on the wall at Shakespeare and Company,” Hemingway says. “I like the looks of Mr. Mallarmé. Handsome devil, looks about my age, takes good care of himself, standing there with one hand in his jacket pocket. Christ, you’d think he was a well-read, well-fed banker. He’s 30 years past the Afternoon of a Faun. At first he didn’t like it that Debussy was setting his most famous poem to music, but after the premiere, he called it a marvel. Debussy had a passion for Degas’s landscape monotypes, these over here must be the same ones he saw in the 1890s. Debussy would do the same thing in music. Both 20 years ahead of their time. Seeing ahead to the abstract. Look at this one!” A Wonder Landscape e were standing in front of Forest in the Mountains, one of the strangest pieces in the show. “A knock out in the first round!” Hemingway is now definitely no longer whispering. “You don’t let the landscape beat you. You come right at it and drop a green dream when the crowd wants shades of brown. See the color of the sky? That’s close to the Degas grey the Colonel sees in Venice. You know Debussy saw this. Stood eye to eye with it like us. Then he put it to music. Maybe in one of the Arabesques. Or the thing he wrote for the woman he ran away to Jersey with. The ‘Isle Joyeuse.’ It’s the nature of the monotype. It’s all about momentum. You go and go and go. Like that big green island out of nowhere. Like a fallen forest. It’s the force of art. It comes right at you, you’re on the ropes, put your gloves over your eyes, ride it out. Or dance around it. Like Ali! When I was a kid, I played the cello, did you know? I could read music, Debussy, Ravel. Wish I’d been there to see Ali hammer Foreman and Frazier. It’s no good from the other side. Shabby reception. No HD. It’s 10:30. Here comes the crowd. Time to make my exit. New York’s not my town. You come here for a short time. Then back to Paris. Or Venice. Key West is good. Best is old Havana. I’ve got 52 cats and 16 dogs at the Finca. You want the true gen? Like I told Lillian: Never lead against a hitter unless you can outhit him. Crowd a boxer, and take everything he has, to get inside. Duck a swing. Block a hook. And counter a jab with everything you own.” —Stuart Mitchner Curated by Jodi Hauptman (Princeton ’86), “A Strange New Beauty: Edgar Degas” will be on view on the Museum of Modern Art through Sunday, July 24. I’ve consulted Werner Hoffman’s Degas: A Dialogue of Difference; Degas: A Critical Study of the Monotypes, edited by Eugenia Parry Janis; The Private Lives of the Impressionists by Sue Roe; Debussy Studies by Robert Langham Smith; and Lillian Ross’s Reporting Always; Writings from The New Yorker.

FOREST IN THE MOUNTAINS (Forêt dans la montagne): Edgar Degas, ca. 1890, monotype in oil on paper, 11¾ x 15¾ inches. (Museum of Modern Art, New York, Louise Reinhardt Smith Bequest) the ghostly incoherent exclamations of a visitor, probably Edmund de Goncourt, who called Degas “a ventriloquist in paint,” because of the way he brings “laundress after laundress” to life, speaking their language, demonstrating how they go about their business, “the downward way of pressing, the circular way of pressing.” Degas and Women “Degas knew women,” Hemingway tells me. “All shapes and ages and sizes. That’s bunk about him hating them. Goncourt’s on the money when he says no one else came as close to painting the soul of the world. You want to know how he made all these monotypes? Think about the laundresses he painted, scrubbing, rinsing, wringing, smoothing, folding, then picture Degas rubbing with a rag on an ink-slimed plate, creating textures and half-tones with both hands, using his fingertips, adding or wiping away ink and then pressing it to the paper before it dries, all of a sudden it’s like being knocked down ten seconds before

wife for?’ Imagine having someone around who at the end of a hard day in the studio says, ‘That’s a nice painting, dear’? The one woman he could have married was another painter, his American friend Mary Cassatt, who was taller than he was, had a beautiful back, and spoke French with a terrible accent.” Still hugging me close with one big sweaty arm, he drags us to the pastels on monotype and oils of nudes in the last room, most of them in awkward everyday poses, getting in and out of the tub, drying themselves. “Who says he’s looking for beauty? For Mr. Degas, all beautiful women had, this is what he said, ‘that touch of ugliness without which there is no salvation.’ He saw his nudes as keyhole art, showing them, like ‘animals cleaning themselves’ And he knew that if the ladies did like his stuff, it would be the end of him.” Mallarmé and Debussy It’s getting near the time when the 10:30 crowds will hit the galleries, but Heming-

“DADDY’S ARMS”: This artwork by Nategna L. is part of an upcoming exhibition at the Hunterdom Art Museum featuring work done by clients of HomeFront, an organization that aids the homeless in central New Jersey. The show runs until September 4.

HomeFront Exhibit at Hunterdon Art Museum

The Hunterdon Art Museum (HAM) and HomeFront have partnered to create an exhibition that aims to empower the homeless. The opening reception for the exhibit called “The Many Meanings of Home” is Saturday, June 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the museum, 7 Lower Center Street in Clinton. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m.– 5 p.m. and suggested admission is $5. Learn more about the nonprofit museum and this exhibition by visiting www. hunterdonartmuseum.org. Tucked away, inside a rather nondescript building in Lawrenceville, some truly beautiful and empowering art is being created. Small groups of adults comb through fabrics, searching for just the right swatch to capture their feelings. Others are hunched over whirring sewing machines, stitching together pillows or wall hangings. This mix of homeless women and volunteers are exploring what home means to them on a ver y personal level through a sewing workshop, part of a series of programs created by the Hunterdon Ar t Museum and HomeFront’s ArtSpace. Surrounded by this buzz of activity, HAM teacher Wendy Hallstrom and Ruthann Traylor, the director of ArtSpace, discuss the power of art. “There are so many negatives one has to deal with when experiencing poverty and homelessness,” Traylor said. “There’s not a lot of time for joy. But that’s what You can now purchase a copy of

the program also teaches entrepreneurial skills and opportunities for the clients /artists who can sell what they create through ArtSpace’s resources.” Sometimes those struggling to escape poverty fail to see the value in the work they do. A woman recently visited Sewing Space and for the first time made a drawing and then painted it. The painting was a simple, yet stunning, vase with flowers. When finished, she left it on a table, apparently indifferent to her work. Traylor found a gorgeous gold frame and placed the painting on an easel. When the woman later returned, she walked past the work, and at first didn’t recognize it as her own. She was astonished when Traylor asked if it could be included in an upcoming art sale. “I think sometimes when you have so little money you feel like you’re valued less,” Traylor said. “And this woman didn’t value the painting she did. This program helps break down the barriers of class and race. So someone will see themselves not as a homeless person, but as an artist.” The exhibition, “Meanings of Home,” includes paint-

ings, ceramics, and photography. Students created a booth that resembled a home and took family portraits. The photos will be displayed and the booth will be installed as part of the exhibition; anyone visiting the show can also take photos in it. The workshops and exhibitions are funded through a generous grant by the Bunbury Foundation. For t h e p a s t d e c a d e, ArtSpace has encouraged creativity and self-expression through art therapy in a safe and nurturing environment with the goal of rebuilding the souls of those suffering from poverty, homelessness, and family abuse. ArtSpace

is run by HomeFront, a Mercer County-based organization that seeks to both lessen the immediate pain of homelessness and to help families become more self-sufficient by giving them the skills and opportunities to ensure adequate income. In addition to the Lawrenceville location, HomeFront has a Family Campus in Ewing that houses up to 40 families. Through HomeFront’s Resource Network, donations of clothing, furniture, and small household items are accepted; its Food Pantry provides a week’s worth of free groceries to low-income families who need them.

ArtSpace allows others to do — to experience that joy, to heal, and to feel good about themselves.” About 100 children and adults participated in the series of workshops that covered a variety of media: painting, sculpting, poetry, sewing, and more. Art created from this healing program will be featured in an exhibition at the museum that runs from June 11 until September 4. “Everyone communicates differently,” said Hallstrom, who is managing the works hops for t he Mu s eu m. “Some people are good with words so we had a poetry session. Others are better at expressing themselves by working with their hands; others maybe by talking. So, the program offers a variety of avenues for adults and children to deal with their emotions at a difficult point in their lives.” “HomeFront and the Hunterdon Art Museum firmly believe that art plays a vital role in increasing confidence and a positive sense of identity,” said Jennifer Brazel, education director of the museum. “It teaches simple, age-appropriate skills and nurtures creative thinking and problem solving.

While the artist is known for drawing inspiration from contemporary and industrial design, as well as Mother Nature, this exhibition has received a second helping on the multi-media front. The artist, formerly a general contractor and sculpture major, uses unconventional materials such as latex paint, recycled water bottles, lace, maps, and even heavy duty glitter. “Meredith Remz brings energy and excitement with her work and it shows in her collection. The cavernous space at Triumph has never felt more alive and welcoming”, says Eric Nutt, Triumph sales and marketing manager. Remz is a BFA graduate of Mason Gross at Rutgers University. Her paintings and sculpture are home to five installations within St. Peter’s Medical Center in New Brunswick and Carrier Clinic in Belle Mead. Her previous solo exhibitions include Small World Coffee and The Boro Bean in Hopewell. Additionally, a local business, Princeton Pi & Yogurt owns a Remz nine-foot Princeton Tiger collage painting.

really starting to find our groove and how we fit into the Princeton community. What we’ve found to be surprising is that special events do way better than we expected and outperform the main attractions.” That is not always the case in other Renew theaters, which are located in refurbished old movie houses in Doylestown, Jenkintown, and Ambler, Pa. Each theater has a different audience. Princeton has also responded well to the classic films that are screened at the Garden. “They tend to be absolutely packed houses,” Mr. Collier said. “There must be a lot of film-minded people here, but there is not a big film presence at the University.” Mr. Stillman’s appearance at the theatre was “a wonderful testament to community collaboration,” Mr. Collier said, crediting the Princeton Public Librar y with “starting the ball rolling.” Mr. Stillman has also written a novelization of the film, which is based on the unfinished Jane Austen novella Lady Susan. Mr. Stillman signed copies of the book after the screening, which was co-sponsored by the theatre, the library, and Labyrinth Books. Other films by Mr. Stillman include Metropolitan,

The Last Days of Disco, Damsels in Distress and Barcelona. Asked how Love and Friendship came into being, he said he had been a fan of Jane Austen since reading Northanger Abbey, a parody of Gothic novels, when he was 16. He reread it when he was older and liked it; then read Lady Susan and liked it even better. “It seemed to be very OscarWildean,” he said. “I thought it could appeal. It was a chance to show the critical, scathing Jane Austen rather than the romantic.” After deciding to do the novelization, he worked on it for 12 years while doing other projects, Mr. Stillman said. He is proud of the film, which is his first to make the top ten. He called the cast, which includes Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny, “incredible.” Both appeared in his film The Last Days of Disco. Love and Friendship was filmed in Ireland, a country with which Mr. Stillman is familiar since his daughter has lived there for several years. Shooting in Ireland is less costly than in England, and the country has plenty of the Georgian houses that form a backdrop to the action of Love and Friendship, he said. The enthusiastic crowd at Sunday’s screening was

“We gave him the script that his PR team had approved, and we told him to feel free to embellish,” Mr. Collier said. “He did, and he was great. He called us ‘the greatest theatre in the world.’ That made us so happy.” —Anne Levin

DALCROZE SOCIETY OF AMERICA

When word spread last week that Whit Stillman, director of the film Love and Friendship, would be making an appearance at Princeton’s Garden Theatre following a 6:30 p.m. screening last Sunday, the showing quickly sold out. That didn’t surprise Chris Collier, co-director of Renew Theaters, the Doylestown, Pa.-based company that took over the Nassau Street movie house two years ago. The same thing happened when actor Ethan Hawke and writer/director Michael Showalter, both raised in Princeton, visited the Garden when their latest films were screened this past April. “Our main at t ract ions do well, but it is these programs that have wonderful connections with the artist behind them that do best in Princeton,” Mr. Collier said the day after the Stillman appearance. “I think we’re

typical of those that include filmmaker question-andanswer sessions. “W hat that says to us is that this is a community that really likes getting inside the films they see. That’s an awesome open door for us,” Mr. Collier said. “The multiplexes on Route One do their thing. What we can bring is a conversation with Whit Stillman or a screening of Casablanca. We’re always looking for ways to enhance the experience and have a lot of fun with it.” Before each screening at the Garden, a public service announcement urges moviegoers to turn off their cellphones. Local personalities such as Mayor Liz Lempert and Arts Council of Princeton executive director Jeff Nathanson are among those who have appeared in these messages. Mr. Collier was especially happy with a recent one by Ethan Hawke, shot when he was at the theatre to show his film Born to be Blue.

will support the University’s C o O PE R At ive pro g r a m , which provides professional training for aspiring opera singers, and a project that will celebrate the Thomas Edison National Historic Park and its rich connection to opera. Bringing together faculty from the world’s best conservatories of music and operatic coaches and conductors from legendary opera companies, the CoOPERAtive program provides young vocalists and pianists with a transformative experience and training for successful auditions. CoOPE R Ative alumni have been hired by the Metropolitan Opera, H o u s to n G r a n d O p e r a , Washington National Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, and many others. The CoOPER Ative program has partnered with the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, N. J., to provide an opera outreach experience specifically designed to inspire young people to “find their park” and explore the connection that Thomas Edison had to opera. Titled Opera Then and Now: Professional Development, Live Performances, and a Celebration of Thomas Edison’s Recorded Operas, the grantfunded program will culminate in an educational event this fall at the Park for 120, 6-12th grade students. The event will include a tour of Edison’s music room, listening to archival opera recordings made by Edison in the 1920s and 1930s, hearing the same works performed live by CoOPERAtive singers, and creating a recording of the singers’ performance on archival wax cylinder recorders. This project will celebrate both the National Parks Service’s 2016 centennial as well as the National Endowment for the Ar ts 50th anniversary. In collaboration with the L ong Distance L ear ning program of the Park Service, the event will be livestreamed to students around the country and at United States military base schools throughout the world, with an estimated audience of an additional 5,000 students. With the $10,000 NEA grant, this project will provide high-quality professional training for emerging opera artists who will then share their talent with young people in celebration of an urban national historic park that has a unique connection to the history of recorded opera.

Young Mutants Rally to Defeat an Ancient Adversary

-Men: Apocalypse is the ninth movie in the Marvel Comics series that was launched in 2000. This episode is the fourth directed by the series’ originator, Bryan Singer, whose sophisticated touch gives the audience a relatively cerebral experience. The movie not only includes action sequences that feature exhibitions of spectacular superpowers, but it also has an absorbing plotline. The result is a film for all age groups that’s memorable for more than its special effects. The story begins in Cairo in 1983, where we we see the ancient mutant Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) rising from the dead. Disenchanted with the world’s current state of affairs, he decides to destroy civilization and start over. Although Apocalypse is the most powerful mutant, he recruits four allies to assist him in his mission. Dubbed the Four Horsemen, the group is comprised of Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Psylocke (Olivia Munn), and Archangel (Ben Hardy), who represent War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death, respectively. By the time the forces of good understand the extent of Apocalypse’s diabolical scheme, it is almost too late because cities from New York to Sydney are under

attack. Fortunately, after the X-Men leader Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) falls under Apocalypse’s spell, Professor Xavier’s protege — shape-shifting Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) — rises to the occasion and rallies the next generation of mutants in the battle to save the besieged planet. She is helped by telekinetic Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), teleporting Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), supersonic Quicksilver (Evan Peters), brawny and brilliant Beast (Nicholas Hoult), laser-eyed Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), and CIA agent Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne). Initially, they prove no match for Apocalypse, who has been harnessing an assortment of powers over a period of several millennia. However, by pooling their skills and resources very effectively, the protagonists prove themselves able to conquer evil, save the world, and thereby survive for another sequel. Excellent (HHH½). Rated PG-13 for violence, action, destruction, suggestive images, and brief profanity. In English, German, Polish, Arabic, and Ancient Egyptian. Running time: 144 minutes. Distributor: 20th Century Fox. —Kam Williams

THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO TURN OUT!: Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), the most powerful mutant, arises in 1983 after several millenia to find that civilization has not turned out the way he thought it would. So he recruits four more mutants to help him in his quest to destroy society as it exists and replace it with the civilization he wants. (Image © 2015 20th Century Fox)

The Women’s College Club of Princeton recently held its annual Awards Tea at the home of Ginny Mason, one of its members. Now in its 100th year, the club has continued to help outstanding young women obtain higher education and this year has awarded $28,500. There were 15 recipients from four Princeton high schools. Bob Hillier presented The Florence Bell Hillier Prize in honor of his mother, a former member of the club, to Emma Brigaud of Stuart Country Day School who will attend William and Mary. Murray Peyton presented The Ramona S. Peyton Award in honor of his late wife, a former member and chair of the Scholarship Committee, to Eris Gee of Princeton Day School who will attend Howard/Rutgers University. T h e H a r r i e t Pe te r s o n Award was granted to Amy Hauer of Princeton High S chool who w ill at tend McGill University. The Molly Updike Award was given

On t wo Sunday mor n ings in June, visitors to the Fiddler’s Creek Preserve in Titusville will experience a “behind-the-nets” look at an active field research project. Bird in the Hand: Songbird Banding Program will take place on Sunday, June 19 and 26, from 8 to 10 a.m. Visitors will learn about the research taking place and see wild birds up-close as they are banded, measured, and released. A member of the Mercer County Park Commission’s Naturalist staff will act as a host to the guests by interpreting the banding process, as well as answering questions about the purpose, goals, and importance of conser vation projects of this nature. As part of the research, wild birds will be gently and safely captured in delicate nets by a licensed bird bander and ornithologist. While the birds are in hand, the naturalist staff will share information about each species’ identification, behavior, and ecology, and guests will get to see these beautiful creatures up close before they are released. This program emphasizes the importance of science to conservation and land stewardship. The Fiddler’s Creek Preserve is the Mercer County Park Commission’s youngest reforestation area. Volunteers and staff planted trees and shrubs in 2012. As the reforestation area grows into a forest, regular monitoring of the plant and bird community is important. Birds are considered an indicator species. Their presence, or lack thereof, is directly related to habitat type and quality. As the recently introduced plants and trees emerge to change the vegetation composition, the bird species frequenting the area should also change and develop. The bird banding program will monitor the dynamics of the preserve’s bird community. Species previously banded include field and song sparrows,

Culminating PU Heavyweight Rowing Career in Style, Senior Star Barakso Helps Tigers Shine at IRA Regatta

artin Barakso entered Princeton University in 2012 as a highly decorated rower. A native of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Barakso had competed for Canada in the Junior World Rowing Championships in 2010 and 2011 and had been named the Canadian Junior Sculler of the Year in 2010. But as Barakso arrived in New Jersey for his freshman campaign, he wasn’t sure how much he could contribute to the Tiger crew program. “I had back surgery in the fall of my freshman year,” said Barakso. “I hadn’t rowed for a year before I came to Princeton. I didn’t even know if I was going to row again.” The surgery worked and Barakso starred for the second varsity 8 in the spring of 2013, helping the boat take silver at the Eastern Sprints. He moved up to the varsity 8 as a sophomore, playing a big role as that boat has earned medals at the Sprints the last three years and a bronze at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta last spring. Over the summer, he earned gold with the M8+ for Canada at the 2015 Pan-Am Games and gold for the Canada 4- at the 2014 U23 World Championships. Last Sunday, he ended his Princeton career with another medal-winning effort, rowing in the four-seat as the Tigers took third at the IRA Grand Final on Mercer Lake behind champion Cal and runner-up Yale. For Barasko, that performance was a fitting culmination of his time with the Tiger program. “Every year the IRA has been our best race and this was the same thing,” said Barakso. “The final there was the best performance we could have done and we just executed it so well. I am just

so proud of everybody because we really showed what we had there.” While Cal posted a winning time of 5:38.710 with Yale second in 5:40.700 and Princeton third in 5:41.880, Barakso felt that victory was within grasp down the stretch. “Yale had beaten us three times before and their strategy was to get a length on you and hold it so the last three weeks we have really been working on our start and taking a big push at 500 meters into the race,” explained Barakso. “When Cal got ahead of Yale, they became vulnerable and then we shot up on Yale a little bit there. That was the first time we have been ahead of Yale all season and it was so much fun in the boat. Everybody was just shouting ‘here we go boys, we are doing it, we are going to beat Yale.’ We were just going so hard and then Yale passed us at the end. To come third in that field, out of my four years here, that is the fastest field I have ever seen. Princeton hasn’t beaten Washington in nine years in that race so that was pretty incredible.” With the second varsity 8 earning silver in its Grand Final and the third varsity 8 taking gold to cap an undefeated season, Princeton ended up a close second to Cal in the race for the Jim Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy, the team points competition, an achievement that reflected incredible progress for Barakso and his classmates. “The program was struggling before we got there; we came in and all 10 of us committed to working as hard as we could to get the program better,” said the imposing Barakso, who stands 6’5 and weighs 213 pounds. “To go from not even making finals and winning no medals at this regatta four years ago and having the 3V win, the 2V second and us get third is unbeliev-

able. We were four points away (205-202) from winning the Ten Eyck. We have been talking about it all year, we knew this is the year we can win the Ten Eyck and we were so close to doing it. It has been the most amazing four years and this team has just grown an incredible amount since I have been here.” In Barakso’s view, that growth has been spurred by a business-like attitude around the Princeton boathouse. “Everybody always talks about culture; when we came in as freshmen the culture on this team was very different,” said Barakso. “Every year as we have been getting older, we have tried to really instill in the younger guys the work ethic that we have put forward and doing the little things right all the time. You are in college and you have to be responsible if you want to do well athletically. We found a really good balance between having fun and working hard on the lake.” Princeton’s Greg Hughes had fun watching his first varsity battle for the national title. “That was just an epic race for them, they throttled it,” said a smiling Hughes. “I don’t think there was anything or any trick that we had that wasn’t shown in that race. That kind of racing is just sheer guts racing and that is what you saw. When you get a scenario where schedules get changed and we are out here racing super early, you learn pretty quickly who the racers are.” The Princeton third varsity 8 proved to be racers for the ages as they completed an undefeated campaign by winning their Grand Final, pulling away from Harvard, clocking a time of 5:54.920 with the Crimson next in 5:56.680. “We have a lot of team

They were levelheaded and composed and saw the bigger picture. We had a really big hill to climb four years ago and a lot of people would have backed away from that but they didn’t. They have created something that will be here for a long, long time.” Barakso, for his part, relished that climb as he overcame his bad back to enjoy a brilliant college career. “To get that back surgery and start rowing and not only get better every year athletically but as a person, you learn so much,” said Barakso, who was named as one the five finalists for the 2016 William Winston Roper Trophy, given to Princeton’s top senior male athlete, and plans to go back to Canada to compete for the U-23 program this summer and then go for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “I have to give a lot of credit to Greg and Matt, they make us fast on the water but they really teach good ethics, good principles. It is going to stay with me the rest of my life and having the opportunity to be captain this year was amazing too. It has been the best four years of my life, to put it succinctly.” —Bill Alden

hard working and they are talented and our job is to continue to grow them and it is a four-year process with our athletes and that is starting to show now. It shows that the east coast programs are really doing a great job. That means a lot to me because I think it makes the sport better. The sport is really exciting when the races are hardfought and competitive. I think for a while that the east was missing a little bit; it was a west coast show and we were just kind of happy to be there. I don’t think that is the case any more.” The development of Princeton’s senior rowers has been an exciting aspect of the process for Hughes. “It is hard to put into words what those guys have done,” asserted Hughes. “They are obviously exceptionally talented athletes and oarsmen but their personality and character is just remarkable. We elect a captain but I have always felt the leadership of the team, the success of the team and the personality of the team is the senior class. Across the board, it has made a difference. There are seniors in every one of those boats and they brought leadership to every single boat we have.

depth and I think what happened on this team all through the season with the training that we were doing is that those kids really developed as performers and that shows up in a three-day event like this,” said Hughes. “They are tough, they are consistent, and they are humble and that makes for really great rowers. The final piece is the coaching staff. I have the best cocoaches in the country and I am absolutely confident that our staff is the strongest there is. Matt Smith has coached that boat all season and he is one of the best in the sport and it shows. It is not just what he does with the boat on the water and how he prepares a boat to race, it is how he prepares them to be good athletes, good people, and good competitors.” For Hughes, coming in second to Cal in the race for the Ten Eyck Trophy, the team points competition, the best Tiger finish since winning the trophy in 1998, was a great accomplishment. “It says a lot about the development that we have been doing, I think that has been one of the major focuses that we have had,” said Hughes. “At Princeton, we know that the guys we have are

In the elimination game on Saturday against thirdseeded Sam Houston State, Princeton made things hard on itself by falling behind 4-0 in the third inning on the way to a 7-2 defeat. “It is tough to win games when you just hit singles,” said Bradley. “We fell behind the same way; they went to their bullpen. Once they got to the last arm (Greg Belton), he was terrific, throwing in the mid-90s with a big power breaking ball. It was just hard for us to put anything together. We got a few hits here or there but we couldn‘t get that big hit with guys on. We couldn’t put the ball in play when we had runners in scoring position and that makes it hard. We had a couple of guys swing the bat well. The top of the order was pretty good with Jesper Horsted (3-for-9 with one run on the weekend), Billy Arendt (4-for-9, three runs, and a triple), and Danny Hoy (3-for-7, one run) but we had very few hits after that. Joe Flynn had a couple of hits.” Looking back on the 2016 season, it is the mental toughness of his guys that comes to Bradley’s mind first. “The theme of our whole year was resilience and the resiliency of this team and what they bounced back from last year, I could coach here for a lot more years and I don’t know if we will ever have a turnaround like that,” asserted Bradley, whose club ended the spring with a 2421 overall record and an Ivy League title, a remarkable improvement on the 7-32 mark posted in 2015.

“It was incredible. With the exception of Jesper Horsted and Joe Flynn jumping in, it was basically the same guys. Man for man across the board, you look at everybody’s statistics and all of our returning players got better. That is a credit to them.” Despite the team’s struggles in 2015, Bradley had a feeling this spring could be special. “It star ted last year because ever ybody could have jumped off the ship and saved themselves with things going that bad,” said Bradley. “People laughed at me when I told them that I felt we had a good year last year in terms of our work. The guys showed up every day and we went to work. No matter what the score of the game was, they tried their best, they tried to win. We didn’t win very many and yet the next day they came to practice, they didn’t get on each other. Our guys came out every day with a good attitude and tried to make t hemselves bet ter. T hey went home over the summer with a game plan and they came back and turned it around.” And by making themselves so much better, the Tigers left their veteran coach with some indelible memories. “It was a g re at ye ar, I couldn’t be more proud of our guys,” said Bradley. “It was sad to watch, some of the the seniors were packing up their stuff when I left campus today but they left a legacy that is going to live on for quite a while.” —Bill Alden

All spring long, Christian Wawrzonek and the Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity 8 crew have battled Columbia and Yale for supremacy on the east coast. In regular season meetings between the boats, the Tigers lost to Columbia in early April and then got edged by Yale at the HYP regatta on April 30. At the Eastern Sprints, Yale was first in 5:43.061 with Columbia second at 5:45.514 and Princeton just behind in third w ith a time of 5:46.793. Last Sunday at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association ( IR A) national championship regatta on Mercer Lake, it came as no surprise that the three rivals were at the front of the pack in the Grand Final. This time, Columbia prevailed, clocking a winning time of 5:52.060 with Yale second at 5:54.460 and Princeton taking third in 5:58.590. Coming into the final, Wawrzonek and his boatmates were confident that they would be in the mix for the title. “This time around we just really wanted to stay in contact with them and keep a close race,” said senior Wawrzonek, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa. who rowed in the three seat. “We knew if we could be in contact the last 500 with the top crew, we could really make a race out of it and maybe have a good sprint. Unfortunately, they had a really, really good move in the middle as always. They are fast guys, they pulled out just outside of our reach.” While Princeton wasn’t quite fast enough to prevail on Sunday, Wawrzonek was proud to be in the fight. “It is a privilege and honor to line up against these guys every single time,” said Waw rzonek. “Obv iously we didn’t get the result we wanted this time but I don’t regret anything. They are really fast. I respect those guys a lot, they work just as

hard as we do. We wished for something else but still loved every second of it.” The third place finish continued a progression up the ladder for the varsity 8 as it took sixth in the 2013 IRA, fifth in 2014, and fourth in 2015. “My freshman year, there were some great guys with a lot of talent but we weren’t getting the results that we wanted,” said Wawrzonek. “We found some extra mot ivat ion, some ext ra speed in the last couple of years. We have found a way to just push each other to a new level. Leaving this team I feel so much more confident in their success in the coming years.” With the Tigers also earning medals at the IRA in the fours events as the four with coxswain held off Yale by 1.3 seconds to take bronze while the four without coxswain beat Harvard by just over one second for silver, Princeton head coach Marty Crotty saw quality across the board from his rowers. “At the very least, it feels whole,” said Crotty. “The medals are g reat, it is something of tangible value. It is something you take away but just the quality and the sharpness of what has been going on the last three weeks, that is what I am impressed with.” Crot t y was impressed w it h how t he varsit y 8 hung in there as Columbia jumped into the lead and briefly had open water at the 1,250-meter mark before Yale and the Tigers closed the gap. “I thought our guys did well, establishing their own spot in that field, even if it is for third,” said Crotty. “What a lesser crew does is they fall back and get themselves in some muck with fourth, fifth or sixth. I think that is what has happened the last couple of years. You are not able to stay in contact with the tip of the spear.” As for the four with coxswain, Crotty credited senior James Agolia, this year’s winner of the 1916

Cup that is given to the senior varsity letter winner with the highest academic standing, for spearheading that boat. “It was led by James Agolia, for a senior, it is three weeks to stick around and row on a lightweight coxed 4,” said Crotty. “He could have just said, I am the undefeated stroke of the 3V, we won the Sprints. I won the Pyne Prize, I graduated, I am good, coach I am out of here. Instead he said can I row at the IRA; I said James we are going to find a spot for you. He is gutsy, you saw that today. They were sixth off the line but they were focused, persistent, and they worked their way up the field and got a solid third.” In assessing his program’s overall performance, which saw the Tigers take third in the team points standings, Crotty liked the persistence displayed by his rowers. “The attitude has been exceptional, young or old; it is just coming from guys who really enjoy rowing boats,” said Crotty, noting that junior Forrest Daugherty moved up to the heavyweight varsity 4 for the IRA when an injury opened up a spot and helped that boat take silver. “James and Forrest personify what I am trying to articulate ; if I can draw dots to those guys, this is it. James and Forrest are not the best guys on the team but guys like that show up at the IRA and say let’s do this, let’s see what we can do and, guess what, it takes you all the way to the medal stand.” Wawrzonek, for his part, is taking some important lessons from rowing as he leaves Princeton. “It has really taught me the meaning of hard work, dedication, and teamwork,” said Wawrzonek, who is headed to a job in California and plans to continue rowing on the club level. “As cliched as that sounds, the sport teaches you what it means to work together with a group of guys and believe in something and that really means a lot.” —Bill Alden

BRONZE AGE: The Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity 8 powers through the water in a race earlier this spring. Last Sunday, the boat took third at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta on Mercer Lake, trailing champion Columbia and runnerup Yale. In taking bronze, the Tiger top boat continued a progression up the ladder as it took sixth in the 2013 IRA, fifth in 2014, and fourth in 2015. Princeton also earned medals at the IRA in the two fours events as the four with coxswain held off Yale by 1.3 seconds to take bronze, while the four without coxswain beat Harvard by just over one second for silver.

Although Varsity 8 Fell Short in NCAA Final, PU Open Crew Made Solid Progress in 2016 Lori Dauphiny had a good feeling about her Princeton University women’s open crew as it headed in the NCAA Championships over Memorial Day weekend. With the first varsity 8 coming off a win over topranked Brown in the Ivy Championships grand final in mid-May and the rowers getting some extra time to practice with the end of exams, Princeton appeared to be peaking. “I do think the training went well in between,” said Princeton head coach Dauphiny. “I was happy with what they did; I thought we were prepared for nationals.” While Princeton ended up performing well at the NCA A re gat t a i n G old River, Calif., jumping up to seventh in the overall team standings from 12th in 2015, Dauphiny thought her top boat could have done more as it took sixth in its grand final as it clocked a time of 6:26.186, more than seven seconds behind the 6:19.035 posted by champion Ohio State. “We were closer in the heat and the semi to where we needed to be and should be,” said Dauphiny, whose varsit y 8 won its opening heat and then came through in a photo finish in the semis, taking third and holding off Texas by .09 of a second to book the last spot in the final. “In a final, there are going to be people who excel and there are going to be people who drop off; not

everyone is going to win. We happen to have been the crew that dropped off; that is where my disap pointment kicks in because I know that they had prepared well. I know that they were a good boat.” That disappointment notw it hstanding, Dauphiny views 2016 as having been a very good season overall for the Tigers. “The results of the whole program were solid, said Dauphiny, whose second varsity 8 took sixth in the NCAA regatta while the varsity four placed seventh. “I think there was progress this year with the team and the varsity boat. They really took the training and their preparation seriously. They showed dedication so it did work. I think what they put in led to reaping the rewards at the Ivy championships.” T he prog ram’s s en ior class, led by tri-captains Erin Reelick, Meghan W heeler, and Mar y Ann McNulty, played a integral role in setting that tone. “I think they were big instigators in that positive

momentum that the crew was feeling,” said Dau phiny. “I worry with them graduating who will take on that role. I do think that the underclassmen learned quite a bit from the senior class and the experiences so I hope that momentum continues into next year.” Dauphiny is confident that her returning rowers can use those experiences to their advantage going forward. “There were lessons learned this year and those are big when maybe the final result isn’t exactly what you hoped for,” said Dauphiny. “The greatest benefit that you get from something like that is the experience and the lessons learned and looking back, saying OK, we could have done this differently. I recognize the investment and the concern that the team felt at the end of the season as to what they did well and what they didn’t do well and how they can improve on that. Not all teams do that. They definitely took a look back; that was good. They have some perspective.” —Bill Alden

Tiger Golfer Prchal Earns All-Region Honor

Princeton University men’s golf star Quinn Prchal has been named a Division I PING All-Northeast Region honoree, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced last week. Rising senior Prchal competed in all nine events between the fall and the spring of his junior season, winning the Cornell Invitational in September and going to a playoff for medalist honors at the Georgetown Hoya Invitational in October. Prchal also led Princeton at the Barona Collegiate Cup in March, tying for 14th overall, and co-led the team at Northwestern’s Windon Memor ia l i n S eptemb er and the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in April. Prchal broke 70 in five rounds during the 2015-16 campaign, and his low round of 67 came in the final round of Georgetown’s event as he was tied atop the leaderboard after stroke play. This is Prchal’s second PING all-region honor after earning one as a freshman in 2013. Greg Jarmas ’14 was the last Tiger to earn the honor, doing so as a senior in 2014. ———

GRAND FINISH: The Princeton University women’s lightweight varsity 8 heads toward the finish line in a heat last weekend at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta at Mercer Lake. Princeton ended up taking sixth in the IRA Grand Final last Sunday. Stanford, which included Princeton High alumna Rena White, won the title as it clocked a time of 6:40.480 over the 2,000-meter course with Princeton coming in at 7:11.580. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) A four-time All-Ivy League selection, Bannantine, a native of Baltimore, Md., was a finalist for Princeton’s top female athlete of the year award, the C.

For track coaches, an overriding challenge is finetuning athletes to produce their best performances in the biggest meets. The process of laying a foundation over the season and then tapering at the right time and in the best manner is an inexact science. Last weekend, the PHS track team showed that it was primed for crunch time as it excelled in the Group 4 state championship meet at Egg Harbor High. T he boys’ s quad took eighth in the team standings as a number of Little Tigers achieved the top-six finish necessary to qualify for the Meet of Champions (MOC) on June 8. Senior Nick Birnie won the pole vault while junior Alex Roth was third in the 3,200, freshman Paul Brennan placed fifth in the discus and the 4x800 relay came in fourth. Senior Theodore Tel finished seventh in the long jump and subsequently made the MOC as a wild card entry. A s for t he PHS g irls, sophomore Jackie Patterson placed sixth in the 400 while the 4x400 relay, anchored by Patterson, finished second. The Little Tigers were 23rd in the team standings. “It is everything we have worked for,” said Ben Samara, the associate head coach of the PHS boys’ and girls’ teams in assessing the results of the Group meet. “To see everybody peaking at the right time after all that hard work is exactly what you want.” C on s i s te nt h a r d wor k helped Birnie reach new heights as his leap of 13’0 gave him the pole vault title. “He had trust in himself and the new pole that he was working with and he kept plugging away,” said Samara. “He finally got the clearance he needed. It wasn’t something that anybody was thinking about going in but it was a lot of fun to watch when a kid like that who has worked so hard gets a title.” Noting that Birnie had no-heighted at the indoor sectional, Samara said that PHS assistant coach Joe Gargione played a key role in getting the senior star back into the groove. “They talk a lot about the

different aspects of the pole vault, they really break it down, they do a lot of video stuff,” said Samara, reflecting on Gargione’s work with Birnie. “He knows what he needs to do and he just goes out and does it. For him to come back after no-heighting to where he is at now to be a Group 4 state champion is incredible for him.” Fr e s h m a n B r e n n a n i s showing incredible progress, heaving a personal record of 163’3 at the Group meet as he follows in the footsteps of older brother, Tim, a former star thrower for PHS who is now competing at Dartmouth. “He had another 2-feet PR; his composure is really, really impressive…” said Samara, noting that Brennan is the sixth ranked freshman nationally in the discus. “He comes out on his first throw, it is his first group championship and he throws a 125 and it was kind of flat. He went over and got himself together. He came back on the second throw, composed himself and unleashed it for 163’3. From there, he went for it. He was going for the big throw because he knew he pretty much had some free throws. I think once he puts it together, 170 is not out of the question.” While senior Theodore Tel came in seventh in the long jump with a leap of 21’8, he advanced to the MOC as a wild card selection. “He had one of the more constant jumping days I have seen from him this season,” said Samara. “He has jumped 21’11 two times but never in the same meet has he been so consistently up close to 22 feet on every single jump. He is really putting it together. Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to get that big fair jump that he needed and that he really wanted. I do think he is due, he was hitting the front of that board every single time.” Junior star Roth did some front-running in the 3,200, clocking a time of 9:20.76 to take third. “He stayed at the front of that pack the entire race,” said Samara of Roth. “He had a perfect race plan again that he always follows through on and he got himself through. It was close to a PR.”

Rot h a l s o h elp e d t h e 4x800 relay advance to the MOC, as the quartet clocked a time of 7:53.49, lowering the school record it set a weekend earlier at the Sectional meet. “There are still about two seconds in that race for them,” said Samara of the relay which includes sophomore Nick Delaney, junior Cy Watsky, and senior Jack Metzheiser, in addition to Roth. “They can get really close to 7:50, the handoffs were a little bit stagnant. Each of the legs made some really good moves but there are still some spots where we would like to pick up time and I know those guys want it real bad. They have put themselves in a good spot to possibly medal on Wednesday so we will see what happens.” The girls’ 4x400 relay has put itself in a good spot as it set a school record for the second week in a row, running 3:55.70 to beat its previous mark by more than three seconds. Senior Jordan Vine had a 58.7 split to lead things off while sophomore Caren Ju had a personal best by over one second, coming in at 60.5. Senior Maia Hauschild ran a season best split of 58.9 on the third leg with sophomore Jackie Patterson producing a 57.5 split on the anchor. “They were healthy, they were ready to roll,” said Samara. “They put it all together at the right time. It may have been my favorite race to watch ever; this was an absolute joy because we have been working at this for so long. I am so proud of these girls, they have faced so much adversity this year and they have really put it back together.” Samara was particularly proud of how seniors Vine and Hauschild stepped up in the race. “Jordan got us started off great; she went out a little bit slow and then I think she realized it a little bit and really kicked it in,” said Samara. “She was in last place coming into the turn and then we were in third place when she handed the baton off. I am really proud of Maia Hauschild. She has dealt with a lot of struggles this year. She was at 57 last year and was running in the 60s all spring. She got all

Peaking at the Right Time in Group 4 Meet, PHS Track Sending Large Contingent to MOC

GROUP EFFORT: Princeton High distance running stars Lou Mialhe, second from left, and Chloe Taylor, right, compete in a 2015 cross country race. Last weekend, senior Mialhe took 13th in the 3,200 and 15th in the 1,600 at the Group 4 state championship meet while sophomore Taylor was 23rd in the 3,200. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) the way back down under 59 seconds for the first time this spring.” Patterson added another chapter to her special spring with her effort in the relay and her 57.36 performance in the 400. “She basically went out and did what she had to do; she ran basically the same time she had been running,” said Samara. “She got out in that seeded heat and she matched the speed of those girls once again and then hung on. I think she saved what she needed to save for the 4x400, which was helpful for our team. It is amazing that all of a sudden we can totally rely on her for 57 ev-

ery time. It is nice to have that in your back pocket for sure.” W hile senior star L ou Mialhe didn’t make it to the MOC as she took 13th in the 3,200 and 15th in the 1,600, she will have a chance to come up big for PHS at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor later this month in Greensboro, N.C. “Lou has had a great year; she is going to be a fantastic addition for Rutgers next year,” added Samara. “She is going to be doing the steeplechase at the national meet and running the 4x800 out there so it is a lot left for her even though her state meet is done. She has been this steady, consistent

performer for us and we are really going to be sad to see her go.” L ook ing a head to t he MOC, Samara is excited to see how his athletes perform on the state’s biggest stage. “The kids really stepped it up, coming up to Group 4 and we have as many qualifiers as we have had at Group 3 in the past,” noted Samara. “We could possibly take home as many as four medals from the MOC. The girls’ 4x400 and the boys’ 4x800 are both in the seeded heats and they are going to be a lot of fun to watch at the end of the meet.” —Bill Alden

Dealing With Adversity in 9-14 Campaign, PHS Baseball Kept Battling Hard to the End On paper, it looked like the Princeton High baseball team was in over its head as it played at Hunterdon Central in the first round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional tournament. Even though PHS was seeded 15th while Hunterdon Central was a two seed, the Little Tigers didn’t see the contest as a mismatch. “Going into it we though it was a good draw for us, they were a two seed but Monroe had the guy who could throw 90 and Montgomery had the guy who threw 95,” said PHS head coach Dave Roberts. “We thought it was an easier draw for us to be competitive a little bit; we felt confident going in.” That confidence wasn’t misplaced as the Little Tigers gave Hunterdon Central a battle in falling 2-0 to a squad that went on to win the sectional title. “Mike Ramirez did a great job throwing the ball for us; he kept that offense off balance,” said Roberts. “He went all six innings, giving up two runs, three hits so it was a good effort by him. He had a great year. We had a chance in the first inning to put up a run; we had a chance in the fifth or sixth when we had second and third but it just didn’t pan out. You have got to take advantage of those.” In reflecting on his squad’s 9-14 season, Roberts would have liked more victories but he had no qualms with how his players battled. “We could have won a few more, I think the Joaquin ( Her nandez - Bur t ) injur y changed the staff,” said Roberts, referring to his senior ace who was sidelined after getting hit in the face with a pitch against Steinert in early May. “It was another good season. We kept plugging away and doing the best we could. Mike Ramirez held up the

ship a little bit. When you lose Joaquin, it is difficult to replace that type of pitcher. We did the best we could. I think if he hadn’t got hurt, we might have got another one or two to be at 10 or 11 wins but it was a great year. Pitching and defense kind of carried the load for us this year; offensively we struggled mightily.” PHS’s core of seniors, Hayden Reyes, Colin Taylor Matt Lambert and Micah Daley-Harris, along with Hernandez-Burt, carried the load for the program over their careers. “We had Hayden for all four years and the other guys for three years; it is a group that put together 37 wins in four years,” said Roberts, who had two other seniors, Joey Studholme and Aaron Lichtblau, in the mix this year. “It is awesome, it was a ton of fun. They were great to coach. They were great players, great leaders. They all led differently. I had a great time with those guys; they were competitive every day and you can’t ask for any more.”

Younger players showed competitive fire this spring for t he L it t le T igers as sophomores Paul Cooke, Alec Silverman, and Ramirez, along with juniors Dan Gross and Teddy Marttila, made valuable contr ibutions. “Paul has been a two-year player already; Alec was a full-timer this year, he got 10 or 12 innings last year,” said Roberts. “Ramirez emerged as a tremendous kid on the mound. Dan came on strong at the end of the year, we hope to get him back in the mound next year. Teddy Marttila played great defense for us and he also came on strong at the end of the year.” Roberts believes the program can keep getting stronger. “It was a great four years with the guys who are leaving,” said Roberts, noting that Hernandez-Burt has been cleared to play and has been selected for the Carpenter Cup Mercer all-stars. “We have a solid foundation coming back.” —Bill Alden

DELIVERING THE GOODS: Princeton High pitcher Mike Ramirez delivers a pitch in action this spring. Sophomore Ramirez emerged as a mound star for the Little Tigers this season. PHS posted a final record of 9-14 in 2016, ending the season with a 2-0 loss to eventual champion Hunterdon Central in the first round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional tournament.

team forge bonds. “We had such great leadership from our five seniors, the Consoli twins, Emma and Katie, along with Lindsay Ruddy, Maura Kelly, and Allie Callaway,” said Cook. “They were just so great; I am going to miss them incredibly. Their leadership was just something I could not have lived without. They were a great liaison between the kids and me; they were so mature in the way that they handled their team. They never turned their back on their team, they listened to what they had to say.” That leadership was evident well before the season even started. “We took a giant step in the right direction this year,” asserted Cook. “For me to go from taking over a program that was struggling and having a little better season last year and then to have a winning season this year, I think the sky is the limit. What I am so proud of is that they put a lot of effort in the preseason. In the fall, we did a ton of lifting and playing together. They had captains’ practices and they did yoga together. A lot of sacrifices were made to make this program a powerhouse. That is something we want to do and they all have that vision. It just takes one season at a time.” The example set by the seniors appears to have made an impact on Hun’s returning players. “I have got really great juniors coming up; we have great leaders,” said Cook. “We have elected our captains for next year, Delia Lawver, Shannon Dudeck, and Madison McNulty. They are already starting to lead and take ownership of this team and figure out what they want to do so it is not so much me leading the way. I really want them to take over. It is their team, they can decide what their goals are and I am just there to push them along.” In Cook’s view, maintaining the family feeling will be essential to achieving on-field goals. “We are excited as a school now about girls’ lacrosse; that is something that I really wanted,” said Cook. “The culture of losing is over, I hope. It is a different culture but it has to NET GAIN: Hun School girls’ lacrosse goalie Madison McNulty start with the girls and their makes a save in a game this season. Junior McNulty’s fine play bond.

A lot of them play together during the summer and I think they Your Life, Your Vision, Your Home will bring that to the field. They have great respect for each other and others and that is what I am trying to teach them.” —Bill Alden

With a 5-8 record and four games left in the season, the Hun School girls lacrosse team could have gone through the motions down the stretch. Instead, Hun saved its best for last, posting four straight wins to end up with a a 9-8 record and a winning season. For Hun second-year head coach Liz Cook, her team’s late surge had her wanting the season to keep going. “We struggled all season to find our identity,” said Cook, whose team defeated WW/P-S (18-5 on May 6), Blair Academy (14-10 on May 7), Lawrence (16-4 on May 10), and WW/P-N (9-7 on May 11) in its final week of action. “I wish the season was longer because we totally found it. Things clicked for us and the last four games were just win, win, win, win. We are just so thrilled about it, I couldn’t be happier.” In Cook’s view, the key factor underlying the Hun’s strong finish was team unity. “I preach to these girls that the most important thing is their character,” said Cook. “Our acronym this year was PRIDE — preparation, respect, integrity, determination, and effort. We finally got into a rhythm where everybody bought into it and we became the one team, one family that we were looking for all season. Everybody was psyched about it, we didn’t have one person

that wasn’t as excited as the other. We didn’t have a weak link by the end, which was really nice.” The Raiders also displayed some nice play at the offensive end, featuring balanced scoring and ball movement. “We were totally sharing the ball, that was something we worked on from midseason,” said Cook. “We realized we were running the ball a lot and we really worked on a transition game, passing, and sharing. It doesn’t matter who has the hot stick that day; that goes back to the locker room and what they were able to translate on to the field.” In the season finale, that hard work paid off with a memorable win over WW/P-N. “We went into that game knowing that was going to be a tough day,” said Cook reflecting on the matchup with the Northern Knights. “It was our Senior Day and we had that bond as a team in the locker room before. I have great respect for North; we just knew that was something we wanted to do and we set that goal. It was a lofty goal for us. We practiced the last couple of days to do it and we just came out and we never gave up. We had this vision that we were going to put two halves together and win it for our seniors and they did just that.” Cook credited her Class of 2016 with helping the

Carol was born on July 7, 1938 in Philadelphia to Gustav Hugo Tafel and Catherine Ann Tafel (née Kelly). She grew up in the University Heights section of Philadelphia and spent her teenage years in Avalon, New Jersey at her family’s second home.

She was a registered nurse with a specialty in urology, having received her certificate in nursing in 1959 from the Nursing School of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. There, she met her husband, Edward Cox, a graduate student at Penn. They fell in love and married at Christmas-time 1960. Ted and Carol’s first two daughters were born in Philadelphia before they moved to Palo Alto. The family moved to Princeton in 1967. Her third daughter was born in Princeton and attended the University League Nurser y School, where Carol started her second career as a teacher and taught for 17 years until her retirement in 1992. Carol traveled extensively in Europe, backpacked in the Rocky Mountains, fished in North America, and skied.

as the Director of Athletics, Director of Admissions, and football coach for The Hun School for 3 years before joining the staff of the Mercer County-Princeton YMCA. It was at the YMCA that Jess developed his interest and skill at non-profit fundraising and started the first fully-integrated Midget Baseball league in the country. 1954 saw a move to the Presbyterian Homes of New Jersey where Jess served as CEO until 1989, developing, building, and operating nonprofit retirement communities throughout the state. Meadow Lakes Village, in Hightstown, N.J., his most ambitious and successful community, became a model for retirement communities country-wide and was the first retirement community in the country to integrate on-site healthcare. During this period he attended Harvard’s Program for Health Systems Management and devoted time to numerous charities which supported the education and recreation of underpriv ileged children. An avid skater, hockey player, roller-blader, and athlete of all kinds, Jess will be remembered for his warmth, wit, and unending generosity. At his request, there will be no local memorial service.

Over the years she became a widely recognized artist; painting, teaching, and exhibiting her award winning work throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Her art is represented in many corporate and private collections throughout the northeast of the U.S.A. In 1972 she partnered with an artist friend and founded and managed Art Exhibition Consultants, a business that for many years, represented local artists and tailored exhibits on site at local businesses and central New Jersey corporations. Eileen maintained a private studio on Witherspoon Street in Princeton over the Army Navy store where she would be found when she was not visiting friends and family in the U.K., or her brother in Australia, or spending days with her children and grandchildren at the Jersey shore. Eileen adored the sea. Many of her best paintings are seascape views inspired by the many places she traveled to around the world. She had an exquisite sense of color and form expressed through her art and also was an avid collector of objet d’art. She will be missed for a giant sense of humor and remembered for deep pride in both her British roots and her American citizenship. Eileen is survived by her b elove d ch i ldren : L ei la Shahbender and her spouse, Christopher Pike of Princeton; Tarik Shahbender and his spouse, Eileen Long of Princeton; and Randa Armstrong of Chesterfield, N.J.;

JUST WHAT YOU’VE BEEN ASKING FOR!

Walking distance to the University, Nassau Street, and schools, this Jefferson Road house has been carefully updated, retaining original moulding, arches and charm. Beautiful hardwood floors are done to perfection, and the plaster walls, painted in period colors, are smooth as silk. Formal living room has a wood burning fireplace with marble surround, and the original cupboards set into the archway between the living room and dining room are elegantly illuminated. The dining room has chair rail moulding, and the original corner cupboard really adds charm. The sunroom is located right off the living room, creating a delightful space to read and chat. You might even want to enjoy your breakfast and newspaper here on a quiet morning. The kitchen, a clever combination of old-world charm and convenience, has wood cabinets and a sweet breakfast nook. With a wonderful window view of the gorgeous gardens, you can delight in the changing seasons and exquisite plantings. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full baths continue with wood floors, and the original banister is a real treat. But wait --- the third floor provides the crème-de-la-crème of getaways, with cathedral, beamed ceiling, and great acoustics --- the perfect hideaway, guest room, or family room. Lots of light, $895,000 nooks and crannies, and a dynamite location make this Princeton house a real treasure.
