Bridge Closing, Solar Array Among Council Topics

The Stony Brook Bridge on Route 206 near Quaker Road, believed to be New Jersey’s oldest bridge, will likely remain closed through next week while damage to the historic span is assessed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The state of the bridge was among the issues brought up at a meeting of Princeton Council on Monday. Among the additional topics of discussion were a possible solar array plant atop the municipal garage, and the formation of a youth advisory committee to advise the governing body. Princeton’s engineer Bob Kiser reported to Council that the cracks in the Stony

Brook Bridge’s stone arches, found during an inspection, are worse than originally thought. Mr. Kiser and assistant engineer Deanna Stockton were to meet with the DOT on Tuesday to discuss making a temporary fix, and later a permanent repair, to the bridge. Built in 1792, the bridge is a National Historic Landmark. It is located within the Princeton Battlefield-Stony Brook Settlement Historic District and therefore subject to certain rules regarding preservation. “You obviously want to preserve both the historical integrity of it and the structural integrity of it,” said Mayor Liz Lempert at a pre-meeting press conference

earlier in the day. A diver sent down into the brook to inspect the damage discovered cracks in the foundation, and temporary dams were being installed to divert water so experts could get a better look at the damage, she added. The work has closed Route 206 between Hutchinson Drive and Lovers Lane, resulting in detours and slowed traffic. Motorists can check the DOT’s website, www.511nj.org for updates.

A TWO-WAY STREET: An inmate at Albert Wagner Correctional Facility in Bordentown works towards his GED in weekly sessions under the guidance of a Princeton University student tutor as part of the Petey Greene Prison Assistance Program. The program has expanded rapidly over the past eight years and now boasts 120 student volunteers from Princeton and many more throughout New Jersey and beyond.

Helping Prison Inmates Earn GEDs, University Students Make a Difference

The United States has more people in prison than any other country in the world — upwards of 2.2 million, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. And the experience and consequences of incarceration leave formerly imprisoned people even more likely to remain poor and marginalized.

Although the U.S. spends more than $86 billion on corrections each year, it provides limited resources to facilitate re-entry. Ninety percent of incarcerated people will be released, but 40 percent will return to prison within three years. High recidivism weakens families and communities, perpetuating social and economic equalities.

TOPICS Of the Town The Petey Greene Prisoner Assistance Program, named after Ralph Waldo “Petey” Greene Jr. (19311984), a TV and radio talk show host and community

activist who overcame drug addiction and a prison sentence to become a notable Washington D.C. media personality, is working hard to combat these daunting realities of prison life. Just eight years after its inception in Princeton, the program now enlists as tutors 120 Princeton University volunteers, undergraduates and graduate students, and many more volunteer tutors in colleges and universities in other parts of New Jersey and beyond. Once a week the Princeton tutors travel to the A.C. Wagner and Garden State Correctional Facilities near Bordentown, where they work one-on-one with inmates, in math, reading and writing, helping them Continued on Next Page

Helping Prison Inmates Continued from Preceding Page

to prepare for the GED high school equivalency exam. “It has a huge impact,” said Jim Farrin, the 79-year-old executive director of Petey Greene who after a successful career in sales and marketing helped expand the program. “It now has more members than any other extracurricular organization at Princeton, and many more volunteers throughout the state and also in Massachuset ts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.” Himself a Princeton University graduate who sees h is le adersh ip of Petey Greene as the third “giving back “ chapter of his life, following his “education’ and “achievement” chapters, Mr. Farrin described the effects of the program, “It has an obvious impact on the students inside the facilities because we’re helping them get their GED, and in doing that you literally change the lives of people. They feel proud to go to a graduation ceremony where they get the degree. There’s hardly a dry eye in the place.” Emphasizing how education affects rates of recidi-

vism Mr. Farrin added, “For every dollar invested in prison education, in three years you get five dollars back in reduced recidivism. That aspect of the program is fantastic and wonderful.” Impact On Student Tutors Even more striking, however, may be the impact of the program on the university student volunteers. “What most surprised me in this program,” Mr. Farrin reflected, “is the effect it’s had on the tutors from the colleges and universities. They say ‘I never knew this population existed. We must do something about correcting some of the injustices in the criminal justice system.’ They get first-hand experience helping someone — ‘Hey, I helped this guy get his GED, Jim — It felt so good’ — and a lot of them go into teaching. A Rhodes Scholar who tutored with us said, ‘I want to do something that’s going to make a difference in the criminal justice system in the United States.’” L aw rence Liu, a Petey G r e e n e vol u nte e r s i n c e 2014, is a Woodrow Wilson School major in his senior year, focusing on law, legal history, criminal justice, and legal reform in China and the

U.S. He echoed Mr. Farrin’s assessment of the program, “As a Princeton student, someone just on campus working in this beautiful environment, going off campus and working with a community that is isolated from us and seeing that they are not so different from us is a powerful experience.” “The tutoring is very helpful for our students,” Mr. Liu continued, “but at the same time those students are making a big difference for the volunteers. That two-way street is something really special about Petey Greene because it helps to break down boundaries between people and communities in a way that can’t be done by sitting in a classroom or watching it on TV.” Mr. Liu, who looks forward to graduate school next year in order to study China law and legal reform, described the “jarring experience” of first walking into a correctional facility. “You walk into the prison and they take away your ID card and phone. There are bars everywhere and slamming doors. It’s built to be a place where you feel uncomfortable to highlight that the people there are different from you.

Edward T . Cone Concert Series

MUSIC FROM COPLAND HOUSE REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST The present invokes the past when the internationallyacclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble returns to IAS in this wide-ranging concert of vibrant American works. Bach and Schubert are conjured, respectively, by Pulitzer Prize winners Steven Stucky and John Harbison, while William Albright constructs a fantastical “other” world inhabited by the specters of Mozart, Brahms, ragtime, and klezmer, and former IAS Artist-in-Residence Derek Bermel evokes a place of universal immortality in his piano trio, Death with Interruptions.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4 AND SATURDAY, MARCH 5 8:00 p.m. Wolfensohn Hall Institute for Advanced Study This concert is free and open to the public. Tickets required: www.ias.edu/news/public-events

“But I remember first walking back and working with the guys and realizing that a lot of them are a lot like me. I’ve worked with guys on essay writing and you listen to their stories and you hear what they want to do when they get out. A lot of them want to start businesses. A lot of them just want to go back to their families whether that’s their kids or their parents. They have dreams and aspirations of what they want to be and they have a lot of the same interests as anyone else would have.” In his fifth semester of volunteering with Petey Greene every Tuesday morning for about three hours, Mr. Liu explained that the program had helped to shape what he will be doing after he graduates this spring. “Petey Greene is something that I’ll carry with me in whatever I do,” he said. “In academics it’s easy to do a lot of work on your own — to sit in an office somewhere or go to the library, but Petey Greene actually taught me how you interact with the communities that you’re writing about, so if I’m writing about legal reform in China or the U.S., it’s not just about the academic discourse. It’s about people who are actually being affected by the laws and legal institutions that I’m researching. So how do I connect with those people? How do I lift their voices up and make their stories heard? The people at Petey Greene have taught me how to do that and also the importance of doing that.” Shaping Their Futures Regional Field Manager Sam Thoma is in charge of making the program run smoothly, but she continues to tutor as well. “Petey Greene is exciting,” she said. “Education is a preventative measure to avoid recidivism, to keep people from going back into the system. It’s a powerful way to rehabilitate people. It’s been extremely rewarding to me.” A 2014 graduate of Villanova, where she studied prison reform and criminal justice, Ms. Thoma also emphasized the importance of the two-way street between prisoner-students and university tutors. “Exposing those university students to this program gets them thinking and will have a powerful influence in shaping their futures,” she explained. “You think you’re volunteering for someone else and then you find that you’ve been impacted in powerful ways. Two of my students have families, and they’ve said that that’s their motivation. They want to set an example for their kids. I’ve been working with a student who, for the first time, is working for his GED. As a political science major to see in the real world the ramifications of my studies is a valuable experience.” The program requires five hours of tutoring training for its volunteers. After that they participate in custody training where the correctional facilities — either Albert Wagner or Garden State for Princeton University tutors — provide orientation about what goes on in a prison. The benefits of education in prison have been widely documented, particularly by a 2014 Rand megastudy that found that participation in an educational experience increases an inmate’s

chances of finding a job upon release by 13 percent and recidivism drops by 30 percent. Petey Greene, which has expanded its network of colleges and universities and rapidly increased the number of its volunteers while increasing its budget from $60,000 in 2013 to $200,000 in 2015, is looking forward to expanding to many more universities and prisons nationwide in the next few years.

Commenting on their remarkable growth, Mr. Farrin stated that the Petey Greene program is “riding the wave” of national concern about the criminal justice system and attention to the importance of prison education. “There’s a lot of focus on secondary education and getting degrees for people who have made a mistake and are in prison.” —Donald Gilpin

Question of the Week:

“What is your favorite museum?”

“My favorite museum is the collection of erotic corkscrews at the Manerbes, in Provence. It’s a wonderful corkscrew museum but they have a subsection of erotic corkscrews and it’s hilarious.” —Jeffrey Tyson, Seattle

Moses: “The Met in New York last summer had some very interesting exhibits, but also they had an amazing rooftop happy hour, and I met up with some friends there in a rooftop garden. It was great seeing the museum exhibits and then meeting up there overlooking Central Park.” Vhioma: “The MOMA was a wonderful experience for me. I was there visiting with a friend. Afterwards we took a very interesting detour and visited the Museum of Sex. It was actually very cool and very interesting.” —Moses Soyoola, New York City, and Vhioma Ezenduka, Philadelphia

“My favorite museum would probably have to be the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, built inside of a former train station. It’s not only a world-class museum, but a monumental architectural example in itself. The light coming inside through the ceiling of the building is breathtaking the way it illuminates the historic works of art.” —Karen Sergeant, Hopewell

“I really enjoyed the Newseum in Washington D.C., where they have collections of all mass media coverage of world events throughout history.” —Scott Bechler, Princeton

In More Than 50 Years, Jacqui Swain Has Helped Prepare About 1000 Teachers ones. Being a black woman working at Princeton in the 1960s was challenging, to say the least, and her tenure there almost ended more than 50 years ago. “Princeton was really segregated then,” she recalled. “It was all white and it was all male.” She described seeing her job application delayed, then being sent to wash glassware and feed mice at the now defunct biochemistr y department while less qualified colleagues were sent to work in offices in Nassau Hall. “The business office at the Woodrow Wilson School was not a pleasant place to work,” she stated. The only black person working at Woodrow Wilson, “subjected to several racially motivated incidents” and repeatedly denied a transfer: “I just quit,” she said. But immediately the personnel department called and wanted her back for an interview. “I was sick of Princeton, but they told me they had just hired an African-American man, who was going to be the first director of a teacher certification program at Princeton. So I was introduced to Henry N. Drewry, and that interview went real crazy.” It ended with her saying, “Mr. Drewry, you know what, I don’t think I’m the person for this job,” and she left again. Later that afternoon personnel called to tell her that Mr. Drewry wanted her to come to work on Monday morning, but she was sure he had made a mistake, so she put her interview clothes back on and returned to the office. “He had interviewed so many people I thought he had mixed things up. I said to him, ‘Do you remember me? ’ He said ‘Yes,’ and I said, “And you want me to come to work for you?’” The answer, of course, was “Yes,” she eventually agreed to stay for a 90-day proba-

tion period, and she and Mr. Drewry went to work, for the next 20 years until Mr. Drewry retired from the University in 1988, building the Teacher Preparation and Placement Program. “I watched him grow a program — from one student to over 77 in one of those years,” she recalled. The numbers have fluctuated greatly over the years, and her responsibilit ies have changed frequently as the Teacher Preparation Office has taken on responsibility for several different programs, most notably the Princeton University Preparatory Program for local high school students and the Teachers as Scholars Program for teachers. “People say how can you stay in the same job for 50 years,” Ms. Swain reflected, “and I say it’s never the same from year to year. When I first came it was just Henry and I. We added lots of different kinds of programs. We had a middle school summer program, a mini-grant program, a history program, and many others. W hile Ms. Swain’s job has always been handling student and alumni applications for certification and jobs, she happily described the job as a bit less hectic over the past 5-6 years since the office hired a program manager. “We’re back at 14-15 students now,” she explained, “but it’s a much more rigorous program. The state has added more and more heft to the requirements. We are now nationally accredited. Now everybody in the office has a doctorate. When you were here, nobody had a doctorate.” Ms. Swain continues to be impressed with the students who complete the program. “The students who come in really want to do Teacher Prep, because they have to do that in addition to all their courses. You can’t get

In the fall of 1969, as a sophomore, I walked into the Princeton University Office of Teacher Preparation to investigate the possibilities for a career in teaching. Mrs. Swain was presiding. Last week, a 41-year teaching career behind me, I walked into the Teacher Prep Office again. Mrs. Swain is still presiding. The Office has moved, from West College to William Street. The program has seen five different directors, many changes in personnel and about 1000 University students gaining New Jersey Teacher Certification. Jacqueline L. Swain remembers, and has helped, all of them. “She is Teacher Prep,” said current pro gram director Christopher J. Campisano. “If you want to know, Jacqui’s the one to talk to. She’s the heart and soul of the program. It’s the extraordinary program it is because of her work, because of Mrs. Swain. Anybody who walks through that door, regardless of whether they’re graduating or they were here 10 or 20 years ago, Jacqui will know their name.” Jacqui Swain was born in Princeton, where her parents, grandparents, and great grandparents lived in a rambling old house on Clay Street near Witherspoon. Her parents moved to Rahway, where she went to school. She attended Rider College, graduated with a degree in Commerce and returned to Princeton, where she still lives. She began work ing at P r i n ce ton Un iver s it y i n 1965, first in the biochemistry department, then the Office of Project and Research Administration and the Woodrow Wilson School before coming to the Program in Teacher Preparation in August of 1969.

certified in four years now. You had to do teacher prep in four years when you were here, but our students now come back for an extra semester to complete the professional education portion of the requirement — and it’s a grueling semester.” Next Chapter Although she has no imminent retirement plans, with more than 50 years of experience in education, she expressed an interest in substitute teaching, or perhaps taking up a job offer she’s had in the office of an immigration lawyer on Witherspoon Street, or as a hospital volunteer. “Hospital workers are the best people and they never get thanked properly,” she stated. Having sung with many different choirs and other vocal groups, she is still a soloist in a church choir. A commissioner for the Princeton Housing Authority, she is involved with several civic and community organizations. She has a grown daughter who lives in Willingboro and works as a social worker for Mercer County. Ms. Swain described her memories of students she has worked with over the past five decades. “There was no student who came into Teacher Prep who didn’t have to come by me. Dealing with students and getting to know the students are my fondest memories.” And as her colleague, Anne Catena, director of professional development initiatives, stated, “Jacqui is incredibly committed to stay connected with the students. She is a wonderful resource for us all.” —Donald Gilpin

“Wage theft is a pernicious practice,” she said in a printed statement. “While the vast majority of employers follow the law and do the right thing, we know that unfortunately wage theft is happening in Princeton. We’ve taken a multi-pronged approach in Princeton to stamp out wage theft, and I’m proud that it’s been a collaboration between our municipal government and local nonprofit groups, including New Labor and LALDEF (Latin American Legal Defense Fund). And even within our municipal government, we’ve forged new partnerships, with Human Services and Police working collaboratively to help victims of wage theft seek justice.” Should “wage theft 2.0” be adopted, the town would follow the same practice currently in use for landscapers. “The ordinance is just an amended version of the landscaping ordinance,” said Mr. Garcia. “We’d be doing the same thing for the existing restaurant permits, automatically revoking their licenses in cases of non-payment of wages.” Princeton’s Department of Human Services can assist in wage theft cases. “Mediation of wage theft claims is always available through our office,” said executive director Elisa Neira. “We developed a uniform intake process in cooperation with the Princeton Police Department and the LALDEF to receive wage theft complaints and assist individuals and employers in resolving the matter. In some cases, this process has been more effective and faster than going through the State Department of Labor, of filing suit in a court of law.” A booklet to help workers has been developed by the department. “These efforts are bearing fruit, as workers have felt more comfortable coming forward with complaints, and have resulted in some significant recoupments of workers’ lost wages,” Ms. Howard said. The police have also been involved in combating the problem. In 2014, all officers in Princeton received training from the New Jersey Department of Labor in Wage and Hour laws. While the issue of paid sick days is currently a priority for NJ Working Families Alliance, wage theft is definitely on the agenda. “We’ve brought it up to Council members, and we do intend to pursue it,” said Mr. Garcia. “Right now, paid sick days is a priority. But the idea is to have a package of legislation in town that would do the right thing for workers. We’re working on state legislation too, but that’s down the road.” —Anne Levin

Recycle Cereal Bags At Princeton Location

Green Design, 42 Witherspoon Street, is a collector of cereal bags in the MOM Brands Cereal Bag Recycling Program®, a free, national program created by MOM Brands® and TerraCycle®. By collecting MOM Brands® cereal packaging, Green Design helps divert cereal bags from landfills. Princeton residents can help keep additional cereal bags and liners out of the garbage by dropping off empty bags Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays between 10a.m. and 6p.m., Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays between 10 a.m and 7 p.m. and Sundays between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. By participating in the recycling program, Green Design earns points for every unit of waste it collects

and sends to TerraCycle in Trenton. The points can be redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to a non-profit group or school. Green Design donates the money earned to the nonprofit organization of their choice. TerraCycle recycles the traditionally non-recyclable cereal bag waste into new products and materials such as playgrounds, park benches, and recycling bins. For more information on drop-off times or what’s accepted, call (609) 6514643 or email info@greendesigncorp.com.

By Preserving the W-J Neighborhood We Preserve a Piece of Our Nation’s History.

To the Editor: I am writing on behalf of a group of concerned citizens who would like the Princeton Council to designate the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood as a local historic preservation district. In New Jersey, there are few places that embody the African American experience like the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. African Americans were among the first settlers of Princeton, which boasted a higher concentration of black residents than most other towns. However, this community was subjected to racial and discriminatory practices, which essentially created the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. Now, those same discriminatory practices are tearing apart a significant piece of African American and Princeton’s history, brick by brick. The Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood exceeds the architectural guidelines for historic preservation. By preserving this neighborhood, we preserve a piece of our nation’s history. SHIrlEy K. TurNEr Senator – 15th District Editor’s Note: The following letter from New Jersey State Senator Shirley Turner was received too late to meet the press deadline for last week’s issue.

Misinformation on Battle of Princeton Addressed by Battlefield Mapping Study

To the Editor: There is much misinformation floating around on the Battle of Princeton. We have learned much over the last few years from artifacts and original accounts, much of which is included in John Milner Associates’ Princeton Battlefield Mapping Study on our website. This report was funded under the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) of the National Park Service which vetted and approved the study. The study represents the most comprehensive study of the battle ever done. Our efforts to save the Counterattack Site are largely based on that report and we are strongly supported in our conclusion that the Battle of Princeton was fought and won on the Counterattack Site by the two premiere historic preservation groups in the country the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Civil War Trust. In 2011, professor and acclaimed historian David Hackett Fischer wrote in a letter to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to support the nomination of the Counterattack Site to its list of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Sites in the u.S.: “One question of historical fact is disputed by the Institute. Several spokespersons asserted that major fighting in the battle did not occur on the land it wishes to develop. They are mistaken. The climax of the battle was a major assault by Washington’s Continental troops, who broke the British line in very heavy fighting. This event happened primarily on the open field that the Institute proposes to use for a housing project. Five major studies have all reached the same result. Several archaeological digs have turned up more density of artifacts from the battle than in the park itself. This land is as central to the battle of Princeton as the field of Pickett’s Charge is to Gettysburg and as Omaha Beach is to D-Day.“ Esteemed Princeton university Professor Jim McPherson testified before the Princeton Planning Board on the historic significance of the Counterattack Site on December 8, 2011 as follows: “So we’re not talking about something

ABC Campaign Has Been a Success For “B” and “C” but Not “A” (Ask First)

To the Editor: The ABC’s Campaign (Ask First, ByOBag, and Collect) has been a huge success in two of its three goals — the B and C. In the program’s first six months, this town has collected approximately 1,000 pounds of plastics that would have been sent to our landfill. These are the plastics that are not typically recycled such as bread bags, cereal bags, and the back of the house plastics that cover palettes for local businesses. McCaffrey’s is doing an excellent job keeping track of weight and size of all the plastic collected so we can report how many pounds we have kept from the landfill — which is our goal. What’s missing from the ABC’s campaign is the A. I just popped into McCaffreys this morning and was not asked if I needed a bag. Instead, the cashier pulled a plastic bag out readying it for my purchase. For the woman before me, the cashier actually wrapped two small candy bars in a huge plastic bag! This campaign is all about changing habits. And, with a little effort, it could become a model for other towns. McCaffrey’s just needs to get the A figured out and hand out fewer plastic bags to its customers by Asking First. Pardon the dopey pun, but it’s as easy as ABC.

Urging Princetonians Who Rely on the Dinky To Press for Enforcement of University’s MOU

To the Editor: As readers now know, New Jersey’s appellate court has upheld the legality of NJ Transit’s relocation of the Dinky terminus to accommodate the university’s development goals. We respect the legal process, but we are disappointed that these rulings have shown so little sensitivity to the public interests involved. We fought this battle to give voice to the interests of public transportation users, and we are grateful many, many supporters who have recognized that this was a battle worth fighting, win or lose. We brought our cases to court because we believed, and still do, that the relocation of the Dinky terminus and destruction of our historic and charming station was a terrible idea. Princeton has lost an in-town station with easy pedestrian access that provided a mass transit link to the Northeast Corridor. Princeton has also lost an iconic train station with irreplaceable literary, cultural, and political associations. The park-and-ride facility we have in its place has all the charm of an industrial site and is

inconvenient. It is no surprise that Dinky ridership has declined significantly. When Borough elected officials debated zoning approvals for an Arts complex that involved relocating the Dinky, they were told by NJ Transit that a 1984 contract gave the university the absolute right to relocate the terminus. Our cases established that this was not true: the judges said that NJ Transit retained the full authority to approve or disapprove the move. We also argued that before giving any approval NJ Transit was required to hold a meaningful public hearing to show the move was in the best interests of NJ Transit riders. Instead, with the backing of our governor, who controls NJ Transit and also is an ex-officio university Trustee, NJ Transit assented to the move behind closed doors and presented the plan to the public as a fait accompli. The Court has said the law permits this. However, if this is the law, the law should be changed. NJ Transit should not be permitted to make backroom deals to turn over precious public transportation assets to a private entity without any public hearing or accountability. We encourage Princetonians who rely on the Dinky to join us in pressing for enforcement of the promises made in the MOu (Memorandum of understanding) and to identify steps that can and should be taken to improve service and ridership on the Dinky. We also urge our elected officials to press NJ Transit to move quickly to honor its obligation to promote public awareness of the history of the Princeton Branch through the installation and permanent maintenance of interpretative displays at the new station.

unimportant here. We also agree, as David Fischer does actually say this we agree with the Battlefield Society, that the right wing of the American Counter Attack that won the Battle of Princeton took place on Institute land, including the buffer zone and part of the land on which the housing is planned.” There have been some repeated misguided claims that the ”Battle of Princeton was just a series of skirmishes all the way to Nassau Hall, none particularly important. It seems that the Institute and its supporters of the destruction of the counterattack site have subscribed to a publicity campaign based on the “Big lie” theory that if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it is true. Enough is enough. It is time to own up to the fact that the IAS is intent on destroying the heart of one of the most important sites in American history. JErAlD P. HurWITz President, Princeton Battlefield Society Editor’s Note: The 2011 statements by Mr. McPherson and Mr. Fischer were made prior to a compromise proposal that the Battlefield Society did not find acceptable.

Princeton Open Space Hosts McVay Reading

In his new book, Surprise Encounters with Artists and Scientists, Whales and Other Living Things, Princeton author Scott McVay offers 100-plus vignettes of his encounters with some of the 20th century’s greatest artistic and scientific minds. On Sunday, March 6, he will discuss selected stories from the book at the Mountain Lakes House in Princeton. The free event begins at 2 p.m. and is hosted by the Friends of Princeton Open Space. For this event, Mr. McVay has chosen to focus on stories of naturalists who, he says, have broadened and deepened our knowledge of the natural world and the fascinating creatures that inhabit it. In telling tales of his provocative encounters with biologist E.O.

Drawing on his experience as the founding executive director of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and the Geraldine R.

Dexter Palmer Reads At Labyrinth March 8

Princeton resident Dexter Palmer will read from his new novel Version Control (Pantheon $18.98) at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday, March 8 at 6 p.m. According to NPR’s Jason Heller, the novel is “A thoughtful, powerful overhaul of the age-old time travel tale, one that doesn’t radically deconstruct the genre so much as explore it more broadly and deeply …. Palmer is a novelist with an abundance of things to say — about life, about time, and about the essence of the universe. Luckily, with Version Control, he also has the chops and eloquence to make those things sing …. Palmer has given us a vertigo-inducing peek behind the veil of existence, then distilled it into a quiet, intimate tale of a couple and the trauma that binds them. It’s exhilarating. It’s exhausting. And the ending is a virtuoso performance that yanks the brain as it disorients the heart.” Dexter Palmer’s first novel The Dream of Perpetual Motion was selected as one of the best fiction debuts of 2010 by Kirkus Reviews. ———

Garden Club of Princeton Creates Solar Suitcase

The Garden Club of Princeton, member of Garden Club of America, Conservation Committee recently constructed a “Solar Suitcase,” a stand alone complete solar electricity system that fits into a rugged, weather and dust proof plastic suitcase suitable for travel to remote destinations, to help provide electricity to women at a birthing home in Sierra Leone. The entire club supported the endeavor, allocating civic project funds to purchase the suitcase kit from the We Share Solar program. We Share Solar typically provides the kits to schools around the country, enabling students to learn about the science of solar electricity and international philanthropy. It also chooses and is responsible for delivery to communities without access to reliable electricity, which include schools, orphanages, community centers, and libraries. It took 10 women working in teams about three hours to construct the suitcase. Once attached to its single solar panel, it provides electricity for four light bulbs, charging ports for mobile phones and tablets, and charging for headlamps, which are included in the kit. The headlamps protect those who need to go out at night. The suitcase provides power for 4-5 hours in the evening and is able to capture solar energy even on rainy days.

The Garden Club members learned that over 1.5 billion people live in energy poverty, which severely limits their life chances, particularly when it comes to health and education. They also learned about conditions in Sierra Leone, which has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. They had the opportunity to SKYPE with the physician who will bring the suitcase to Sierra Leone in March, and to learn about the over whelming needs of that community. The birthing home will provide a safe temporary home for expectant mothers, who would otherwise be forced to take a long and arduous journey, often life threatening, to the nearest health clinic once labor has started. The birthing home will allow them to stay at the clinic for two weeks before their delivery date, and to receive prenatal care and education. “It was an amazing experience,” said Katherine Dresdner, co-chair of the conservation committee. “It was very rewarding to work together to do something concrete to help others and the environment.” Participants agreed it had been a fulfilling project, letting out a loud cheer at the end when the suitcase was placed outside with its solar panel, and the light bulbs immediately illuminated. We Share Solar was cofounded by a member of the Garden Club of Princeton, Gigi Goldman. ———

Bridge Closing

A FARM IN THE CITY: D&R Greenway is leading the development of Capital City Farm, next to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen on Escher Street. A repurposed sign with reference to the iconic “Trenton Makes” bridge was unveiled this month. In addition to providing fresh produce to residents and social service agencies, the 2.3-acre farm will offer education and employment opportunities and job training. The site underwent remediation during the spring and summer of 2015, and a pollinator meadow was seeded. Just a few months after planting, the meadow attracted migrating butterflies and other native pollinators to feed and rest.

ART REVIEW

Free Thinking in a Free Museum With D.H. Lawrence and William Blake

o D.H. Lawrence, who died on March 2,1930 at 45, a “painted landscape is the background with the real subject left out.” It’s also where “the English exist and hold their own.” Clearly, this is a novelist speaking, as well as a poet, philosopher, essayist in many realms, revolutionary, and a painter for whom landscape is the “background to an intenser vision of life.” Some Serious Fun As I make my way to the Princeton University Art Museum, I imagine Lawrence by my side looking the way he did to the doctor he hosted for tea and toast only weeks before he died, “a colorful figure with bright blue coat, red hair and beard and lively blue eyes” who “made the toast himself treating the operation as though it were a serious matter and at the same time great fun” — which is how I’d like to treat the subject of this column and the current exhibit, “Pastures Green & Dark Satanic Mills: The British Passion for Landscape.” The Art of Being Free In Princeton art is everywhere and it’s free, a fact of local life Lawrence would surely appreciate even though he once said “Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom.” One approach to the free museum takes you past James FitzGerald’s Fountain of Freedom in front of the Wilson School, with its everywhichway streams and spurts and splashes playing out the glory and chaos, acclamation and denunciation, triumph and tragedy of Woodrow Wilson’s life — or, given my companion’s thoughtful stare, D.H. Lawrence’s. Overlooking this misty fantasia is Ai Weiwei’s Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads, which naturally attracts the lively admiring gaze of a poet who goes one-on-one with snakes, eagles, elephants, mosquitoes, and mountain lions in Birds, Beasts, and Flowers (1923). “I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself,” says Lawrence as we cross Washington Road onto the campus. “This, too,” he says as we come to George Rickey’s stainless steel kinetic sculpture Two Planes Vertical Horizontal II on our way to the museum. “A mechanism with a life of its own. Bound on this pedestal, yet it moves freely, like Blake’s gentle wind, ‘silently, invisibly.’” Blake Opens the Door There’s no way to get around the presence of William Blake at the gateway to a show that takes the essence of its subject from his poetry — at least not if you’re in the imaginary company of a ginger-haired, blue-jacketed 20th-century prophet. The four-stanza poem introducing “Milton,” one of Blake’s prophetic books, begins by asking did Jesus once walk “On England’s pleasant pastures,” did he gaze “upon our clouded hills,” and was “Jerusalem builded here/Among these dark Satanic Mills?” The penultimate stanza has the poet demanding

his “Bow of burning gold,” his “Arrows of Desire,” his “Spear,” and his “Chariot of Fire” before vowing not to let “my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem,/In England’s green & pleasant land.” When William Blake opens the door to an exhibit of paintings of English subjects and themes, all bets are off, the sky’s the limit, anything can happen. Even someone who saw as far and free as Blake would surely be struck to learn that his poem would one day be set to music that in the year 2016 would be seriously discussed as a national anthem to replace “God Save the Queen.” And now that they’ve put Jane Austen’s face on the ten pound note, who knows, the time may come when they put Blake or Lawrence on the twenty. Except Lawrence

light. “Look how Clarence lays it plain and simple on the shepherd and his book.” The vision is of angelic figures evolving out of closely woven forest imagery. “The most joyous moment in the whole history of painting,” says he, was “when the incipient impressionists discovered light, and with it, color. There they made the grand, grand escape into freedom. The English delight in landscape is a delight in escape. It’s hidden in the word — landscape/escape.” Salvator Rosa’s Rocky Landscape with Herdsmen and Cattle (1660) seems to satisfy Lawrence’s requirement for “an intenser vision of life,” which he also admits seeing in Thomas Jones’s The Bard (1774), after Thomas Gray’s ode of the same name. The stormy image of the man with a lyre, his back to the abyss,

until I came to the paintings of Waterloo Bridge and the Thames, and it was here that D.H. Lawrence, who never had much use for London, left me to my own devices. Just as well. It’s doubtful I could have made him understand the impact of a prolonged submersion in David Bowie’s swansong album Blackstar where he sings with life-indeath passion of “the English evergreens” and “seeing more and feeling less, saying no but meaning yes.” It’s equally doubtful I could have expressed, even if I’d had the music at hand, the timeless beauty of Ray Davies’s song “Waterloo Sunset” about “the dirty old river” he sees “flowing into the night” as he “looks at the world” from his window. Davies once called the song his “substitute for not being able to paint.” He first saw the view from the window of a hospital after a near-death experience at 13. “To me it’s a blessed spot,” he has said, “a truthful spot, where I can get centered.” Writing in his memoir, X-Ray (1995), he saw it as a painting: “The water was a bright brown: almost red. This was probably caused by pollution, but it gave the impression that the water was like blood flowing through a giant vein that led to the pumping heart of the Empire. I felt that there was a bigger tide coming that would completely flood the banks and submerge the Houses of Parliament. This was a tide of reality and change that was soon to turn England on its head.” In Blake’s Backyard he views of Waterloo Bridge and the Thames by Léon de Smet in 1915 and Oskar Kokoschka in 1926, and the one of Charing Cross Bridge by Claude Monet in 1902 were all painted in hotel rooms overlooking that “blessed spot.” The hotel was the Savoy. I can almost hear Lawrence groaning at the thought of river views painted from the windows of a luxury hotel. But he’d have approved of all three, I think, particularly Kokoschka’s busy, vibrant, complexly alive and free-feeling view of bridge and river with the dome of St. Paul’s in the distance. And I know he’d have appreciated the idea that William Blake breathed his last nearby, having spent the last seven years of his life in a “plain, red-brick house of three stories” in Fountain Court adjacent to the future site of the Savoy Hotel. From his bedroom window he could see a section of the Thames “like a bar of gold” between the buildings on either side. —Stuart Mitchner “Pastures Green & Dark Satanic Mills: The British Passion for Landscape” will be on view through April 24 at the Princeton University Art Museum, which is free and open to the public six days a week (the museum stays open till 10 p.m. Thursday nights).

“London, Waterloo Bridge” by Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) won’t have it. At my playful suggestion, he quotes from his poem “Money Madness”: “I doubt if any man living hands out a pound note without a pang; and a real tremor, if he hands out a ten-pound note. We quail, money makes us quail. It has got us down; we grovel before it in strange terror.” This notion of Lawrence at a 21st-century art exhibit celebrating a country for which he had a lifelong love-hate relationship tempts me to tell him how old Blighty loosened up in the 60s and set the world dancing and singing with rock and roll — a green and pleasant/dark satanic life-force that put everything in play like the jets of water in the Fountain of Freedom. I decide to keep a lid on the 60s for now rather than divert his attention from the landscapes, where the English “hold their own.” Feeling the Light We’re standing in front of Henry Clarence Whaite’s Shepherd’s Dream (1865) when Lawrence draws my attention to the

his foot on the edge, inspires Lawrence to quote the poem’s closing lines, “He spoke, and headlong from the mountain’s height/Deep in the roaring tide he plunged to endless night.” As we walk on, he says, “When a poet jumps off the edge, he lands somewhere. Perhaps on a poem, perhaps not.” He loves J.M.W. Turner’s Storm (184045): “Here’s a vision of life, here’s a presence, here’s the shout of the subject!” But the mood turns predictably grim when we come to the “dark satanic mills” suggested by Lionel Walden’s Steelworks Cardiff at Night (1893-97). “How much darker and more satanic they are now!” (If only he knew!) People are beginning to stare as he breaks into a passionate recitation of his own poem on the same subject, of how “the iron has entered into the soul/and the machine has entangled the brain, and got it fast,/and steel has twisted the loins of man, electricity has exploded the heart.” Waterloo Bridge I was free of the music of the present

The Arts Council of Princeton Yorker Magazine and is well known for her collaboration Presents Group Exhibition The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) presents Every Fiber of My Being, a group exhibition featuring textile and contemporary embroidery. Visitors can expect original works from artists Maira Kalman, Amy Meissner, Cassie Jones, Diana Weymar, Caroline LathanStiefel, Danielle Hogan, and Katie Truk. Every Fiber of My Being is curated by the Arts Council’s 2016 Spring Anne Reeves Artist-in-Residence, Diana Weymar. Growing up in the wilderness of British Columbia, Diana learned the importance and practical value of a vivid imagination. In her artwork, she is interested in how to interact with existing materials — photographs, clothing, text — to address issues of storytelling, identity, narrative, and documentation. Maira Kalman is a frequent contr ibutor to The New

with Rick Meyerowitz on the New Yorkistan cover in 2001 and The New York City Sub-Culinary Map. Maira is currently creating an illustrated column for The New Yorker based on travels to museums and libraries. Amy Meissner’s textile art combines traditional handwork and contemporar y imagery to explore themes of the body, fear, and loss. Her materials are vintage, discarded or found, with cumulative histories that shape the narrative of each piece. The aim of Cassie Jones’ felt pieces is to create a “pleasurable conundrum.” She explains, “I like work that is both painterly and s c u lpt u r a l, fa m i l ia r ye t strange, representational, but abstract, knowable but un-nameable all at once.” Caroline Lathan-Stiefel’s piece, Wider Than the Sky, was inspired in part by Emily Dickinson’s poem of the

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST”: This photograph by Olivia Nini, grade 10 — Ken Lockwood Gorge, High Bridge, New Jersey is part of the “Beauty and the Beast — the Fall and Rise of the Raritan River” exhibit at the D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Olivia Rainbow Gallery on view through March 30.

Fine Art Photography By PDS Students

D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Olivia Rainbow Gallery presents “Beauty and the Beast — the Fall and Rise of the Raritan River,” fine art photography by Princeton Day School students of Eileen Hohmuth-Lemonick, head of Upper School photography. Focusing on the historic Raritan River, the images are on view through March 30, 2016. The “Beauty” section evokes the river’s course through stunningly beautiful New Jersey locations, home to many species of birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and mammals — many threatened and endangered. The “Beast” segment of the exhibit chronicles effects of the river’s use for transportation; as an energy source for crucial industries; and, tragically, receptacle for toxic wastes. “We have canoed and photographed the Raritan from New Brunswick to Edison,” says Hohmuth-Lemonick. The Raritan is New Jersey’s longest river and includes the state’s largest contiguous stretch of wildlife habitat. D&R Greenway was founded to preserve land adjacent to waterways such as the Raritan River. In this year-long project, documenting ecological impacts affecting the Raritan over the course of the last century, “the Upper School environmental studies class and two photojournalism classes are working individually and as teams,” says HohmuthLemonick, who also credits participating faculty members Carlos Cara, Liz Cutler, and Aaron Schomburg. “They are learning about the Raritan River, its essential tributaries and riparian ecosystems, and recovery efforts.” Students interviewed and photographed Hannah Suthers, who bands birds and conducts research.” Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except for holidays, and on the third Saturday of the month, from 10 a.m.

“Breath of Fire” Ceramics Exhibit Coming to Ellarsie

Mythic faces, expressive torsos, flasks and urns, a unique chess set, abstract kimono sculptures, and paintings made of clay are a few of the up-to-the minute ceramic sculptures featured in the Breath of Fire ceramics invitational. These clay works are truly contemporary, created by 12 different artists in the greater Trenton region (stretched to include New York City and Philadelphia). Most of the artworks included in this show depict or imply the body, whether literally or metaphorically. Each handmade hollow form encloses air within it: the “breath” that animates each work. Then each new form created of raw earth by the ceramic artist is transformed into permanence by fire: whether electric, gas, wood, anagama kiln, or some other specialized intense heat. Lisa Cecere of Wall Township has made many journeys to Japan; several kimono-inspired sculptural works created during her recent artist residency at Shigariki are on display in the exhibit. In his Princeton studio, Thaddeus Erdahl constructs large-scale heads and figures. In “The Deal,” two guys with guns stand face to face, doing business. A more ritual conflict is implied in Vicky Smith’s prize-winning “Chess Set,” where facing teams of chess characters are all set up for battle.

“GERI-MAN”: Pam Lethbridge and Scott Rosenthal collaborated on a playful series of sculptures. Among their creations is “Geri-man” (picture above), on view at Ellarsie’s upcoming Ceramics Invitational, “Breath of Fire.” The exhibit will be on display from March 5 — April 30, 2016 with an opening reception Sunday, March 6.

Mary Pat Robertson Is Retiring From Princeton Ballet School After 35 Years When Mary Pat Robertson and her husband Michael came from New York City to Princeton in 1980, she thought she’d be retiring from her dance career. But the town, where the Robertsons moved so that he could pursue his doctorate at Princeton University, turned out to have a lot more dance to offer than she expected. It wasn’t long before Ms. Robertson began teaching at Princeton Ballet School. Six years later, she was named

the school’s director. In June, she will step down after 35 years teaching and administrating hundreds of students, some of whom have gone on to professional careers. “I’ll miss the kids,” she said during a telephone interview last week. “But it’s time. I’ll probably do a little private coaching, and I look forward to getting back to choreography. I’ve been doing a lot of public speaking and I hope to expand that.

I’m even contemplating writing a book for parents about what to look for in a ballet school.” While ballet has played a major role in Ms. Robertson’s long career, contemporary dance has also been a focus. Before becoming the ballet school’s director, she co-founded the company Teamwork Dance and did a lot of freelance dancing and choreography. In New York, she studied the techniques of José Limón, Merce Cunningham, and Martha Graham. A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ms. Robertson danced in what is now known as Tulsa Ballet Theatre before moving to Massachusetts to attend Wellesley College. She transferred to Stanford University to be with Mr. Robertson, whom she had started dating in high school, and earned a degree in French Literature. “But I was dancing, too,” she said. “I found a great school out there. And Stanford has a nice tradition of folk dance classes, which I think really influenced my choreography.” After some time in Berkeley, the couple moved to New York to experience the city’s burgeoning dance scene. Mr. Robertson, also an enthusiast, began writing about dance. “Those were the glory years,” Ms. Robertson recalled of the mid-to-late 1970’s, considered by many to be “the dance boom.” She took classes all over town and got to see performances constantly since her husband was writing reviews for the now-defunct Soho Weekly News. “The Dance Critics’ Association was born in our living room,” Ms. Robertson said. “I took two-to-fourweek workshops with Twyla Tharp, Lar Lubovitch, and Douglas Dunn.” Mr. Robertson earned a master’s degree at Columbia University before deciding to pursue his doctorate at Princeton (he is a highly regarded professor of English at the College of New Jersey). “I thought I’d be retiring from dance in general,” Ms. Robertson recalled of her expectations when moving to Princeton. “I didn’t know what I’d be doing. But a friend told me there was a good ballet school here. I started teaching (at Princeton Ballet School) a little bit, and then a lot — all levels of kids and adults.” Within the first year of coming to Princeton, Ms. Robertson started to miss performing. She met dancer/choreographers Janell Byrne, John Stewart, and others involved in the local dance scene. She and Mr. Stewart co-founded Teamwork Dance as a non-profit group. The Robertsons’ daughter, Miranda, was born in 1985. Ms. Robertson became Princeton Ballet School’s director when Miranda was a toddler. The school was then located in front of the Dinky train tracks on Alexander Street. Since then, it has moved to much expanded studios in Princeton Shopping Center.

Mary Pat Robertson Among Ms. Robertson’s accomplishments dur ing her tenure at Pr inceton Ballet are the creation of a complete ballet syllabus unique to the school, the successful application to the

each year. She has had many proud moments. “The most i mp or ta nt mom ent s are when I see a smile on the face of one of my students, when they understand what they’re doing,” she said. “Or when I first saw Unity Phelan, my former student, in a solo on stage with The New York City Ballet. Or going to see one of Baryshnikov’s solo programs, and Kraig Patterson, my former student, had created the choreography.” “I’m t hr illed by t hos e achievements,” she added. “But that very real interaction with children, seeing them get excited about that antique art form that can still speak to so many people if transmitted correctly … that’s the most important thing.” —Anne Levin

The script, written by Zoe Brookes, Todd Reichart, Tom Regan, and Per Kreipke, features local businesses, local stories, jokes for all ages, and some big surprises. Zoe Brookes, Todd Reichart and Plainsboro music teacher Michael Jacobsen created original music for the show. The performance involves more than 50 community members (both front and back stage), ages 8 to 75, including singers, dancers, acrobats, and musicians. Peter Pan at the Princeton Public Pool will include many parents performing with their children. Now in its seventh season, the Princeton Variety Theater enjoyed successes at the Arts Council of Princeton’s Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, including Shockheaded Peter, Stone Soup, On Air and (un)connected,

art of Panto. Jack and the Beanstalk, staged in February 2014, was a sell-out success, followed by Cinderella, the UGGly Version in 2015. Panto, or pantomime, is not the same as mime. Panto is crowd-pleasing, family-oriented theater, typically based on a well-known story, and specially crafted for the town where it’s performed. There is a great deal of audience participation, singing and dancing, and a very simple script. Often, men play women and vice versa. Director Todd Reichart has plenty of film, theater, and TV credits to his name, but this local form of original theater has a special place in his heart. “We bring people together in an honest attempt to create something wonderful from what everyone can offer. Expect cute kids, virtuosity, and belly laughs,” he says. For funding, this production relies in part on local sponsors featured in the show. This year’s sponsors are JaZams, Hulit’s Shoes, Princeton Center for Dental Aesthetics, Smith’s Ace Hardware, and Labyrinth Books.

Ireland and Shakespeare Symposium at Princeton

State Theatre Presents Vienna Mozart Concert

The artists all shared the aim to preserve the musical tradition and the cultural heritage of Vienna by dedicating themselves to the cultivation and representation of symphonic chamber music of the Viennese Classical Period. The 30 musicians devote themselves exclusively to the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most accomplished composer of that period who, though born in Salzburg, made his home in Vienna. Led by Gerald Grünbacher, the orchestra’s repertoire ranges from all of Mozart’s symphonies to a great variety of his instrumental concertos (for violin, piano, and wind), to arias and duets from his most famous operas. Performing in authentic costumes and wigs, the orchestra’s performances make the

Underdog Ski Jumper Makes It to the ’88 Winter Olympics

There, Eddie began his quest under the tutelage of Bronson Pear y ( Hugh Jackman ). First, in order to meet the Olympic’s minimum entr y requirements, he had to complete a ser ies of jumps greater than 60 meters. Of course, that was easier said than done, for it takes not only skill, but a lot of courage to ski headlong down a long ramp and launch yourself into t he air. Fur t her more, t he key to success requ ires master ing what Bronsan refer red to as t he “Ju mper’s Paradox,” t he cou nter-int u itive instinct to lean for ward while in the air, which is the opposite of the natural tendency OpeninG to straighten up.

Since 1987, the Princeton-based chorus, VOICE S, has sp on s ore d t h e Young Composers Project for children ages five through 12, designed to stimulate playing with musical sounds and words, and encourages children to write a song and send i t to VO I C E S . E n t r i e s will be accepted through M a r c h 15, 2 016 . T h e You ng Compos ers P ro gram is a unique opportunity for young children to develop their musical abilities by creating their own music and sharing it with other children who have been doing the same, work ing w it h an estab lished composer on their composition, and having their piece performed by members of VOICES Chorale in a family concert in April 2016. The music can be written down in any kind of notation, formal or invented. This may be as simple as the words to the song and the child’s line draw ing of “how the music goes.” Older children may want to t r y m u s i c n ot at i o n . In addition, children are asked to make a simple recording, even a cell-phone recording, of the piece to send in with it. This allows undergraduate music students from the College of New Jersey to listen to the songs and set them in standard music notation. Parents, piano teachers, and music teachers are inv ite d to suppor t, but not edit, the child’s composition, as children hear things in their own imaginations differently from adults. Music teachers or pare nt s c a n h elp ch i ld re n submit a recording ( CD or DVD ) and three written copies of the child’s music ( w it h t he ch ild ’s name and age, assisting adult’s name, phone number, address, and child’s background in music), together with a $12 processing fee, to: VOICES Young Composers Project, P.O. Box 404, Pennington, NJ 08534. For additional information on submitting a song electronically and on the workshop for children and their parents, call Susan Evans at (609) 291-7456, or email drsevans @ comc a s t.n e t.

Fueled by a Career-High 5 Goals From Gersoff, No. 6 PU Women’s Lax Edges Georgetown 10-9

aving managed a pair of goals in the first two games of the season for the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team, Anya Gersoff had assumed a supporting role in the Tiger attack. Last Saturday against visiting Georgetown, senior Gersoff stepped up into a starring role, exploding for a career-high five goals, including the game winner with 7.4 seconds left, as the Tigers pulled out a 10-9 nail-biter over the Hoyas and improved to 3-0. “I think today I played with more confidence than I have so far in this season and I owe a lot of that to my teammates, they are all great,” said Gersoff. “I think the special thing about this team is on any given day, anyone can step up and contribute. All I am looking to do is to be the best teammate I can be and fill whatever role I can on a given day. I guess today was my day.” In the early stages of the contest, it looked like Princeton was going to cruise to victory as it jumped out to a 6-2 halftime lead. “We started off well, our offensive ball movement and movement through space off ball was really good in the first half,” said Gersoff, who scored two goals in the first half. “That is something we have been working on this week; it was really great in the first half.” But things weren’t so great for Princeton in the second half as the Hoyas went on a 6-2 run to tie the game at 8-8 and then added another tally with 3:07 to make it 9-9. “I got to give them a lot of credit, they played so hard, with that mentality that anything can happen and we weren’t ready for that,” said Gersoff. “I think more so than anything, it was what they brought mentally, they kept attacking.” Despite the Georgetown surge, Gersoff was confident that the Tigers would ultimately prevail.

At the beginning of the season, the players on the Princeton University women’s hockey team settled on “relentless” as their mantra for the winter. Displaying that trait all year as it climbed into the top ten of the national rankings, Princeton placed third in the ECAC Hockey standings to earn home ice for a best-of three quarterfinal series against sixth-seeded St. Lawrence last weekend. After getting edged 1-0 in the opening game of the series on Friday, the Tigers battled back from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits to pull out a 4-3 win in the second game a day later and force a decisive game three on Sunday. In the finale, Princeton jumped out to a 1-0 lead midway through the first period but found itself trailing 3-2 early in the third period. Making a last ditch effort with a late power play and pulling goalie Kimberley Newell to add an extra attacker, the Tigers broke through as Molly Contini found the back of the net with 15 seconds left in regulation to force overtime and send Baker Rink into an uproar. Princeton came out flying in the extra session, generating some good chances but St. Lawrence came through with the game-winner 5:37 in overtime to prevail 4-3 and win the series. Af ter ward, a glum but proud Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal tipped his hat to his players. “It was an awesome series, our kids have a lot of heart and soul,” said Kampersal. “I have been doing it for 20 years and this year has been the most fun. It has been the most trying year

as well. There was a lot of things our kids have battled and worked through and they have been resilient all year. It is an awesome group.” In the early stages Sunday, it looked like it was going to be a fun day for Princeton as it drew first blood with a goal by junior Cassidy Tucker 8:18 into the game. “I thought we started the first 10 minutes strong, actually the first 12 minutes but the last eight got a little scrambly,” said Kampersal. Princeton had to scramble when it lost junior star defenseman Kelsey Koelzer, the Ivy League Player of the Year, a top-10 finalist for the 2016 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, and a finalist for the ECACH Women’s Best Defenseman Award, to a shoulder injury late in the first period. “To lose Kelsey with two minutes to go in the first rattled us a little bit but they still hung in there,” said Kampersal. “She is one of the best players in the country, losing your Patty Kazmaier candidate is not great.” St. Lawrence scored two straight goals in the second period but the Tigers answered back with a tally by Molly Contini with 4:24 left in the frame to make it 2-2 going into the final 20 minutes of regulation. The Saints took a 3-2 lead early in the third period. With 1:53 left in the regulation, Princeton went on a power play and pulled goalie Newell to give it a 6-on-4 and the game-tying goal by Contini followed with just 15 seconds left on the clock. “We still battled to the very end to tie it up,” said Kampersal, reflecting on

The series went to a decisive game 3 last Sunday and junior Contini scored two goals, including one with 15 seconds left in regulation to knot the contest at 3-3, but it wasn’t enough as Princeton fell 4-3 in overtime. The loss moved the Tigers to 22-8-2 and left them harboring hopes of receiving an at-large bid to the upcoming NCAA tournament. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

the final sequence of regulation. “We were on it, we worked hard all day. I was just hoping that something good would happen for them because they deserved it and it did.” Heading into the extra session, Kampersal was confident that more good things would happen for his squad but after some early flurries by the Tigers once the action resumed, the Saints found the back of the net to win the game and the series. “It was the most positive I have ever been before an overtime,” recalled Kampersal. “I thought for sure that we would get it first. We outshot them and it happens.” While the loss was crushing, with a record of 22-82 and being ranked in the top 10 most of the season, K amp ers al is harb or ing hopes of receiving an atlarge bid to the upcoming NCAA tournament. “I am not even sure if we are all done,” said Kampersal. “We need all the favorites to win then who knows.” No matter what happens, Kampersal knows he has a special senior group in goalie Newell, forwards Jaimie McDonell, Cristin Shanahan, Maddie Peake, and defenseman Karen MacDonald. “Kimberley was stellar in net again, Jaime is a workhorse, and Shanny was great today,” said Kampersal. “Karen and Maddie are just two inspirational leaders. They are classy kids, it is a really good group.” That inspiration helped the program earn its first Ivy League title since 2006. “It was a goal, considering last year we came close and didn’t get it,” said Kampersal, whose team went 8-2 in Ivy play, edging Cornell (72-1 Ivy) for the title. “This year I am glad that they did it for the seniors; they worked hard for it.” In his post-game message to his players, Kampersal expressed his appreciation for getting the chance to work with them. “It was just that I love and respect t hem, t hey just played so hard,” said Kampersal, recalling his remarks. “They just play until they can’t play any more. In past years if we go down two, we might not battle back but this year we always did; we always battled back.” —Bill Alden

Koelzer Battled Through Pain, Provided Key Spark As PU Women’s Hockey Forced Decisive Game 3 With the Princeton Universit y women’s hockey team trailing St. Lawrence 2-1 in the second period last Saturday and already down 1-0 in the best-ofthree ECAC Hockey quarterfinal series between the foes, things looked bleak for the Tigers as Kelsey Koelzer hit the Baker Rink ice with a thud. Absorbing a crunching hit, the Princeton star defenseman lay face down on the ice for minutes as the Baker Rink crowd was hushed. She finally got up with assistance and gingerly skated off the ice, heading to the hallway behind the bench to get medical assistance. “I was trying to bring the puck in on a power play and I cut across the blue line and one of their girls decided to step up and take the body instead,” said Koelzer, recalling the collision that resulted in a fiveminute penalty for Hannah Miller of the Saints. “It was the mid-section area, the doctor was looking at me and I was trying to convince him to get me back out there.” After she looked to be done for the day, Koelzer got the medical OK, reappearing on the bench and quickly rushed on to the ice with the power play from Miller’s penalty still going, taking the puck in stride and firing it past the St. Lawrence goalie to tie the game at 2-2. “The power play did a great job of breaking the puck in and retrieving it, all four of their players were below the goal line,” said Koelzer, a 5’9 native of Horsham, Pa., reflecting on the goal. “Cassidy (Tucker) was able to get it to me and I was actually looking for Karlie Lund on the back door but I think it went off of one of their girls and went right in the five hole. It was a pretty good bounce but I would say it was a product of hard work.” A f ter P r inceton went dow n 3 -2 in the third, Ko e l z e r c a m e t h r o u g h again, assisting on a goal by Keiko DeClerck to knot the game at 3-3, showing why she has been named Ivy League Player of the Year, a top-10 finalist for

the 2016 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, and a finalist for the ECACH Women’s Best Defenseman Award. “The main problem was that our shots weren’t getting through at the beginning of the game so what we tried to do was change the angle of the shot just to get it through,” said Koelzer, who moved to 32 points on the season with 17 goals and 15 assists as a result of the helper. “Once again, I think it hit a couple of people and found its way to the back of the net. We had a good net drive and it was just hard work. it was getting the puck high and go to the net.” The Tigers pulled out the game as freshman star Lund found the back of the net with 2:42 left in regulation to give Princeton a 4-3 win. In reflecting on Koelzer’s courageous ef for t, Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal saw a parallel with a basketball great. “I was telling the team in the locker room that I grew up a Boston Celtics fan and

that Larry Bird towards the end of his career smacked his head on the parquet and then lef t a playoff game against Indiana (in 1991),” said Kampersal, a native of Beverly, Mass. and a former men’s hockey star at Princeton. “He came back and came t hrough t he t un nel and dropped however many points for them to win game five and that reminded me of Kelsey getting hurt and coming back and scoring 10 seconds into her shift.” A day later, Koelzer got hurt again, injuring her shoulder in the first period after she crashed into the board going after the puck. The star defenseman didn’t return to the contest and Princeton went on to a 4-3 loss in overtime. Even as the Tigers went down, they were inspired by Koelzer’s tenacity. “I definitely think that when it comes down to it, everyone is willing to throw their body in front of the puck and do whoever takes to make sure that the puck doesn’t go in the back of the net,” said Koelzer. “I think that is the biggest thing.” —Bill Alden

PAINFUL EFFORT: Princeton University women’s hockey player Kelsey Koelzer fires the puck last weekend during the best-ofthree ECAC Hockey quarterfinals between the Tigers and St. Lawrence. Junior star defenseman Koelzer left game two on Saturday with an injury only to return to the contest and tally a goal and an assist to help the Tigers rally to a 4-3 win and force a decisive game three. In the finale, Koelzer injured her shoulder late in the first period and didn’t return as the Tigers fell 4-3 in overtime. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

PU Men’s Basketball Stays in Ivy Title Hunt, Riding Sizzling Shooting to Weekend Sweep As the Princeton University men’s basketball team hit the court to warm up for a critical clash against visiting Columbia last Friday evening, the players sported orange Nike T-shirts emblazoned with the message “Make Shots.” The shirts were also distributed to the student fans, leaving one corner of Jadwin Gym a sea of orange. That message became the theme of the night as Princeton hit on 31-of-49 shots for a season-high 63.3 percent from the floor on the way to an 88-83 victory over the Lions before a crowd of 3,121. Junior Steven Cook, who led the way with 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-6 from 3-point range, saw the sharp-shooting as a product of the team’s depth and balance. “I think the thing about our team is that a different guy can do it every night,” said Cook. “It was Devin (Cannady) and a few other guys at Columbia the first time around. We are so deep and we have so many different guys that can beat anybody so we have

to take what is given to us. I don’t think it was anything in particular. We prepare in the same way just about every game. Sometimes it comes my way, sometimes it comes other people’s way.” Cook hit one of the crucial shots of the night, draining a three-pointer from the corner as the shot clock neared zero to give Princeton a 78-71 lead with 2:08 remaining in regulation. “I just saw the shot clock running down so I knew I had to get it up there and it ended up going in,” recalled Cook. “It was a good shot. I thought a few of us made some good shots; that was a big one.” The Tigers had to make a number of big plays down the stretch as Columbia went on a 6-0 run to whittle a 73-63 Princeton lead to 75-71. “It comes down to talking, we were getting together every opportunity to talk about matchups, to talk about the three-point line because we knew that could hurt us,” said Cook. “We wanted to try to avoid fouling so it was just talking

about that and getting together with the coach.” While Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson was getting uneasy as Columbia made its late surge, he was confident that the Tigers would pull out the win. “I was very concerned, they were very close,” said Henderson. “We needed our timeouts because we were playing small. We haven’t played small that much. We got a string of really good looks and our shooting numbers from three were very good. I liked the looks we were getting.” Cook’s clutch three helped give Princeton the cushion it needed to hold off Columbia. “That was a huge shot,” said Henderson. “They were scoring on every possession, we were up 10 and it was down to four. It is just the way things go. It was a huge shot, we have been able to make some big plays this season.” Reflecting on his team’s sizzling shooting, Henderson said it was a huge factor in the team’s triumph. “You have got to make shots, we had those shirts made for a reason tonight,”

said Henderson with a grin. “I thought the guys shot with confidence. They were looking for each other. So when they are looking for each other, you tend to know it is going to come your way and you are ready to shoot. I thought the timing was good. I think when the first one goes in, by Spencer (Weisz), then the second one tends to go in. It is right there.” Freshman Myles Stephens showed the right stuff off the bench scoring 15 points and getting two rebounds in 26 minutes of action. “Each game is just a little bit better for Myles, which is what we have asked him to do,” said Henderson, whose team won its game on Saturday, beating Cornell 74-60 in improving to 20-5 overall and 10-1 Ivy League, keeping pace with league frontrunner Yale (20-6 overall, 11-1 Ivy). “Myles is developing into an elite defender in the league; he knows it is the focus and attention to detail that is the next step.” After seeing his squad pulling out an overtime thriller at Columbia on February 13 by the same 88-83 margin, Henderson likes the way his team has focused on getting better. “We had good shots and we

TAKING HIS SHOT: Princeton University men’s basketball player Steven Cook goes to the hoop in recent action. Last Friday, junior forward Cook scored 23 points to help Princeton defeat Columbia 88-83. A night later, Cook chipped in 11 points as the Tigers topped Cornell 74-60 in improving to 20-5 overall and 10-1 Ivy League, keeping pace with league frontrunner Yale (20-6 overall, 11-1 Ivy). Princeton plays at Harvard on March 4 and at Dartmouth on March 5 before hosting Penn on March 8. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) just told our guys, we are going to get good shots,” said Henderson, whose club plays at Harvard on March 4 and at Dartmouth on March 5 before hosting Penn on March 8. “Steve has been working hard, those guys have been working hard week to week and they are not satisfied and it is a rare thing. It is just rare, I feel like I am along for the ride.” Cook, for his part, believes that working at home helped

the Tigers to overcome Columbia. “When we play at home, like coach says, our cuts are a little bit faster, we sleep in our own bed, we are just a little bit more comfortable at home so maybe that was it,” said Cook of the Tigers, who are now 12-0 this season in home games. “Maybe it was just a good night for us and a bad night for Columbia. We found a way to win tonight.” —Bill Alden

Growing up in eastern Ontario, Kyle Rankin didn’t envision the scenario that unfolded last Saturday evening at Baker Rink, getting cheered as one of the honorees on Senior Night when the Princeton Universit y men’s hockey team hosted Brown for its regular season finale. “It is incredible as a kid from Canada, you don’t necessarily think that a school like this is in your plans or in your future and it is amazing the opportunities, the game of hockey can present you with,” said Rankin, a 6’1, 195-pound senior forward and native of Kanata, Ontario. “I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to go to Princeton and with all the ups and downs, it is something I wouldn’t trade for the world.” Rankin was particularly grateful to have a number of relatives on hand at Baker for the finale. “I am very fortunate to have my parents here; they have done so much throughout my life to support me and give me incredible opportunities which have culminated being a Princeton hockey player,” said Rankin, noting that his brother Shane and cousins, Cam and Drew, were also in the stands. “It is a special night, it was a great crowd. I have played so many games in that rink and it never gets old. I am going to miss it for sure.” The Tigers went out and produced a special effort against Brown, fighting back from a 2-1 deficit as freshman Max Veronneau scored with seven seconds left in the third period to send the contest into overtime.

Princeton outshot Brown 6-2 in the five-minute OT but couldn’t find the back of the net and the game ended in a 2-2 stalemate. “I mentioned to the guys bet ween periods that at some point in the next few weeks we are going to find ourselves in a game down one goal going into the third and we are going to need to find a way to win it or the season is going to be over,” said Rankin, a team captain along with classmate Mike Ambrosia. “So we kind of used that as a practice test. We found a way to force overtime and the way we were playing in OT, if we had a 20-minute slate out there, I would have wagered that we would have won that game.” For Rankin, the rally was a product of a special sense of urgency. “We never showed any quit and guys know that was the last time that we get to play in front of our fans this year and you don’t want to ever have any reservations,” said Rankin. “You want to leave it all out there, especially in the last home game of the year and the last home game of my career. It is easy to really work hard.” Rankin’s hard work nearly resulted in a game-winning goal as he fed Ryan Kuffner for a point blank shot with seconds left in the overtime. “Max (Veronneau) made a great play, which was to break it up and he fed me the puck,” said Rankin. “I just tried to look it off, I looked quickly and I saw #21 (Ryan Kuffner) on my right. I figured it is never a bad play to slide it over

FINAL RANKIN: Princeton University men’s hockey player Kyle Rankin sends the puck up the ice in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, senior forward and captain Rankin enjoyed a memorable final game at Baker Rink as he helped the Tigers rally from a late 2-1 deficit to tie Brown 2-2. Princeton, now 5-21-3 overall, will now start play in the ECAC Hockey playoffs where the 12th-seeded Tigers are playing at fifth-seeded Clarkson (18-13-3 overall) in a best-of-three opening round series starting on March 4.

to him and the goalie made a good save but those are the chances that are going to win you games down the stretch so we just have to keep working for them.” Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty liked the way his squad played as it earned its first points since a 1-0 win over American International College on January 26. “We had some pretty good looks there at the end; we had a great look in overtime,” said Fogarty, whose team moved to 5-21-3 with the tie. “It was great, the guys stuck with the system. We got back to playing how we played last weekend at Union and RPI and last night (a 6-0 loss to No. 7 Yale) was just uncharacteristic. To see us today just shows that last night was uncharacteristic.” In assessing the rally, Fogarty said it was a result of sticking with the process. “I think being patient and just waiting for our spots a n d go o d p os it ion s for transitional turnovers, that is where we did a good job tonight,” added Fogarty. While the seniors won’t be playing again at Baker, Fogarty hopes they can extend their careers in the ECAC Hockey playoffs where the 12th-seeded Tigers are playing at fifth-seeded Clarkson in a best-of-three opening round series star ting on March 4. The teams split their regular season meetings, with Princeton posting a 3-0 win over the Golden Knights on November 21 before losing 5-2 in the rematch on February 12. “Lisser, Rankin, Ambrosia, Zajac, they have done a great job, battling through injuries and tough times,” said Fogarty, referring to his senior group of Kevin Liss, Michael Zajac, Ambrosia, and Rankin. “It has been great leadership by Kyle and Mike throughout the year, we have had 14 one-goal losses where we have pulled the goalie through the year. Mike and Kyle have kept the team focused and our goal is to try to win a playoff series. That was a great effort tonight to bounce back and play a full 60 minutes with a decimated lineup.” Rankin and his classmates are determined to keep up that leadership as Princeton looks to do some damage in the playoffs. “There are always ups and downs ; we have had our share of tough nights here,” said Rankin, who has eight points this year on three goals and five assists and has piled up 30 points in his Princeton career with 10 goals and 20 assists in 115 appearances. “The guys in my class have put a lot of hours in the program and we really care. All you can ask is to give your a team a chance heading into the playoffs and we definitely have a chance. It will be focusing on what we do best and what we need to do to be successful. You have to look at the other team’s tendencies and stuff like that but that is not the most important thing for us. It is bringing the efforts that we showed in the third and overtime and if we bring those efforts, we are confident we can play with anyone.” —Bill Alden

PU Men’s Lax Falls 11-10 in OT at No. 13 Hofstra But Makes Progress as It Girds for Clash at Hopkins After rolling to a 21-4 win against an overmatched NJIT team in its season opener, the Princeton Universit y men’s lacrosse team faced a much sterner test in its second outing when it played at 13th-ranked Hofstra last Saturday. The Pride was coming off a 10-5 win over North Carolina and featured a rising star in attackman Josh Byrne. But picking up where it left off in the rout over NJIT, Princeton jumped out to an early 3-0 lead over Hofstra. But t he Pr ide answered with three straight goals of its own and the contest turned into a tight battle, as expected. At halftime, the Tigers were clinging to a 6-5 lead and Princeton head coach Chris Bates knew his team was in for a dogfight. “You knew it was a close game and a nip and tuck game; we have talked repeatedly that we are going to be in one-goal games every week,” said Bates. “We were up 6-4 and had possession of the ball and felt like we had not a great decision in terms of trying to thread the needle on a pass. We gave them an opportunity to get a goal late so they got a little bit of momentum. We were just disappointed there because a two-goal lead in a one goal game is going to make a difference.” Riding that momentum, Hofstra forged ahead and led 10-8 with 6:11 left in the fourth quarter. Showing heart, the Tigers responded with two straight goals to knot the game at 10-10 and force overtime. “Once they got up two, we were pleased that we showed the composure and the grittiness to come back,” said Bates, who got goals from Bobby Weaver and Gavin McBride to draw even. “I thought we showed a lot of character throughout.” But starting overtime by losing a face-off on what appeared to be a Hofstra pushing foul to the Tiger sideline, Princeton never saw the ball in the extra session as Byrne scored in just 14 seconds. “I always think we are going to win in overtime, you kind of have to,” said Bates. “You realize that it is a oneplay game now and it ended quickly.” While the loss was stinging, Bates thought the Tigers made plenty of good plays in the afternoon. “The final score notwithstanding, we were pleased on a lot of levels with how we executed,” said Bates. “We felt we played with a lot of emotion and did a lot of good things. I think Hofstra is a good team, I think that will bear out throughout the season. We prepared well and I felt we

were ready to go. I thought we competed, first and foremost and really executed a game plan pretty well.” The Tigers executed well at the offensive end as senior attackman and captain Ryan Ambler was the catalyst with two goals and four assists while junior attackman McBride chipped in three goals and an assist and senior midfielder Weaver contributed two goals. “Ryan Ambler was outstanding, not just the numbers of being two and four but he just commanded and played hard and tough,” said Bates. “The guys followed his lead, he is kind of the alpha dog now offensively. Gav did a nice job finishing. Bobby, who had been hurt, did a nice job, playing within himself, cashing in on his opportunities. It was nice to see him rewarded for hard work and taking next steps.” Next up, the Tigers face another big challenge as they play at perennial power

13th-ranked Johns Hopkins (1-2) on March 5. “It is always a big game here with the history and the tradition; I think both teams are still finding themselves here a little bit,” said Bates. “Hopkins has lost their last two but they are always talented. They are always competitive and they are always well coached so we need to take next steps. We can’t expect to play the same way we did this past weekend and hope to be in a one-goal game.” In order to pull out the game, Princeton will need to step up at both ends of the field. “We gave up two goals off of face-offs, which is something that comes back to haunt you,” said Bates. “We need some better decision-making on the offensive end with some passing decisions. Defensively, we just need to become a better unit and communicate more directly with each other. We need to save the ball better. We need a full team effort to beat a team like Hopkins.” —Bill Alden

SHOWING PRIDE: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Gavin McBride races up the field in action last season. This past Saturday, senior attacker McBride tallied three goals and an assist in a losing cause as Princeton fell 11-10 at Hofstra in overtime. McBride scored with 3:41 in regulation as the Tigers rallied for a 10-8 deficit to the Pride to make it 10-10 and force overtime. Princeton, now 1-1, plays at No. 13 Johns Hopkins (1-2) on March 5.

Matt Hart is determined to end his stellar Princeton High boys’ basketball career with a bang. “I am going to try to make the most out of it,” said senior forward Hart. “I only have a few more games. I want to play as well as I can and win as many as possible. I am trying to make the most out of my time.” Last week in a Mercer County Tournament consolation contest at Hopewell Valley, Har t played ver y well, tallying 29 points as PHS pulled out a 79-73 win. “We work a lot in practice on pushing the ball and getting out on offense and that helped a lot,” said Hart, in reflecting on the win in the February 23 contest. “They were hitting a lot of their shots in the beginning of the game but we slowed them down. We hit our foul shots at the end and we hit a few important baskets and that put us over.” Last Friday, 6’3 Hart celebrated the program’s annual Senior Night by pouring in 20 points as PHS rallied to edge Hamilton 65-64. “I want to have my last home game at Princeton High be a good one so I just have to play hard and hope for the best,” said Hart, who got his wish as the Little Tigers outscored the Hornets 16-12 in the fourth quarter to pull out the win and improve to 8-16. While Hart wished PHS had some more wins this

year, he is proud of how the team has gone about its business. “We have had a few rough points this season but we just keep trying to get over the hump,” said Hart, who was looking forward to taking part in the state tournament as PHS is seeded 16th in the Central Group 4 sectional and is slated to play at top-seeded Hunterdon Central in an opening round contest on March 1. “It has been a rocky road but we try to make the best of everything; we try to put the positive on the negative. We just have to keep working hard, it will pay off. We have had some hard practices and that has helped us out.” One of the high points of the season for Hart came on February 13 when he scored his 1,000th career point in an 80-64 loss to Hightstown. “That was great, it just showed a lot of my hard work paying off,” said Hart, who now has 1,095 points through the Hamilton game. “That was a pretty sweet accomplishment to do with my team. I couldn’t have done it without them and my coaches.” Over the last two seasons, Hart has developed a special bond on the court with junior Zahrion Blue as they have formed a potent onetwo punch for the Little Tigers. “We have been marked the whole year but we always

look out for each other,” said Hart, who is averaging 22.0 points a game this season with Blue chipping in 18.6 a game. “When I am guarded close I will look out for him and he will get more points or buckets. We have a good connection; we just see each other.” Looking back on his PHS hoops experience, Hart is leaving with a slew of great memories. “I have loved every minute of it,” said Hart, who is planning to play in college and is looking at Division I and III programs. “It has been awesome. I wouldn’t like to play anywhere else or have different coaches or different teammates. It has just been surreal.” —Bill Alden

Growing More and More Confident as Season Unfolded, PDS Girls’ Hockey Enjoyed Special Ride in Going 15-8-1 Opening its season with a trip to Wyoming Seminary in northeastern Pennsylvania in early December, the Princeton Day School girls’ hockey team hit a roadblock as the bus broke down and the team never made it to the game. But even though her team never made it to the ice that day, PDS head coach Lorna Cook saw an attitude that proved to be a harbinger of good things to come. “We were gone for eight hours and we are on the bus

for the whole time; it was pretty crazy,” said Cook. “The girls had such a good time with it, that is what started the season seeming like it had that optimistic feeling to it. They handled that so well, they were just having fun with each other. I think it set the tone early on that you can’t control everything, you kind of have to roll with it and enjoy each other.” The Panthers ended up going on a special ride this winter. After starting 8-7-1, PDS

got rolling, winning seven of its last eight games, placing third in the WILHMA (Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the Mid-Atlantic) playoffs and finishing with a final record of 15-8-1. “We just gained a lot of confidence as the season went on and that came from everybody improving, not just our best players,” asserted Cook. “It was everybody trying to do the best they could and realizing how important that is.” The team’s growing confi-

dence was highlighted as it rebounded from a 3-0 loss to eventual champion Shady Side (Pa.) in the WIHLMA semis to rally for a 2-1 win over perennial nemesis Morristown-Beard in the tourney’s third place game. “We put more pucks on net the first period than we did in any other game, we still struggled to score and after not scoring the day before that can get in your head a little bit,” said Cook. “In the second period, we were not as strong and I think Mo-Beard turned it up and we let one in. We were able to put more pucks on net in that third period and were able to complete the comeback.” It was a breakthrough win for PDS on several levels. “We hadn’t beaten them since 2003,” said Cook, noting that the team’s eight losses came against four teams and that the PDS avenged two of those losses late in the season. “What is interesting was that all three games we played with them were 2-1. It was just a great matchup for us so it was a lot of fun. We have been in that semifinal position for the past four years and come up short and then kind of fall apart in that third place game. So for them to really have that confidence going into this one and doing whatever it took to win, I think says a lot about where the program is and has been going. It speaks to the leadership group that we had this year to finally make that happen.” In Cook’s view, the squad’s

core of returning juniors, Kiely French, Annika Asplundh, Ashley Cavuto, and Kristi Serafin, led by example. “They did the best they could, just giving full effort and leading people that way,” said Cook. “Each of them really wanted to compete and I think eventually that kind of example trickled down to everybody where everyone realized we are a part of it too and we have to compete also. I think they also included everybody; there was always a good support system and everyone felt like their role was key.” French assumed the role of top scorer, notching a teamhigh 31 points on 14 goals and 17 assists. “She gained a lot of confidence and I think with Kristi out early in the year, she really had to elevate her game a little bit to carry us more,” said Cook of French. “She rose to the challenge.” The presence of stellar goalie Asplundh gave the team confidence on a daily basis as she gave up only 22 goals the whole season and had a sparkling save percentage of .954. “Annika was already good as a freshman but she has gotten better and better,” said Cook. “The thing that really impressed me with her this year is that while she has always been a really competitive goalie and not been able to get rattled and able to really focus in the games, but this year, I really noticed a change in her pre game stuff too. She is really figuring it out, getting

her mind in the right place so she was even more consistent. I am really happy with her progress and am looking forward to seeing how much better she is going into next year.” Cook was really happy with how PDS assimilated the 14 newcomers who joined the squad this year. “The fact that there were so many really helped them; they had confidence in that strength in numbers,” said Cook, whose roster included eight freshmen and six other players who were new to the program. “They would come and support each other, it was really fun the way that they accepted the fact that they really had to focus on their fundamentals first and that gave them even more confidence too as they were able to do that in a low pressure way. They were having fun with it and giving everything they could and then as the season went on we were able to infuse them more and more with what we were doing as far as our systems go. I think it was a really good progression.” With no seniors on the roster this winter, PDS appears to have a really bright future. “I think they believe in themselves a little more than they did at the beginning of the year,” said Cook. “There is going to be a little bit of an adjustment period when you go into a new season but if they continue to work hard and we can get to the point where we finished pretty quickly, we are going to be in really good shape.” —Bill Alden

There is something exciting about planting a new tree that feels just great. Trees are permanent additions to your property and, therefore, require thought and planning when selecting the right one. Determining the proper species for the proposed planting area is critical to saving time and money and avoiding future disappointments. As with any worthwhile investment, it is essential to take time to investigate and select wisely. Choosing a site to plant a tree, or choosing the proper tree for a given site, is a decision not to be taken lightly. Here are some basic guidelines to help make that decision. Of course, our arborists can walk through the steps with you to ensure your investment reaps optimum future return. Plant and Site Factors for Consideration: Hardiness: Make sure the tree is adapted to the temperature extremes of our geographic region. Light exposure: Note how many hours of direct sunlight the planting site receives. Space constraints: Allow adequate room as the plant matures both above and below ground. Form and function: Consider species attributes; i.e., evergreens vs. deciduous foliage, shade tree vs. ornamental qualities. Soil characteristic: Select species suited for the soil types present at the site. Pest problems: Choose insect and disease resistant varieties, if available. Drainage: Match species tolerant to the moisture and drainage conditions of the soil. For a tree and site evaluation of your property, call WOODWINDS at 609-924-3500 today. “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” --Morgan LaFey 1967 – 2015 48 Years of caring for New Jersey’s trees Thank you!
