As Decision Deadline Nears, Efforts to Save Westminster Move Into Higher Gear On March 28, Rider University’s Board of Trustees is expected to vote on whether to sell the Princeton campus of Westminster Choir College, which it has owned since 1992. As the date nears, a growing list of alumni, students, parents, and members of the public are working feverishly to keep the world-renowned choral institution alive and well as cash-strapped Rider comes up with a plan for its overall future. The Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton announced Monday that it has filed for incorporation status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and has retained legal counsel. While Rider president Gregory Dell’Omo and other administration officials have said they are considering moving Westminster, which sits on 23 acres off of Walnut Lane, onto the Rider campus in Lawrenceville, Coalition members believe that is no longer the case. “Although alumni, students, and faculty have been told by administration officials that a one-campus model was initially being considered, it is clear that Dr. Dell’Omo has no plan to move to Lawrenceville anything approaching the array of educational programs currently offered at Westminster’s Princeton campus,” Coalition president Constance Fee says in a press release. Although the University has not made an announcement, it has become apparent that the plan to merge both campuses onto the Lawrenceville campus is no longer on the table.” It was Rider that came to the rescue in 1992 when Westminster was experiencing dire financial difficulties. But now, it is Rider that is in trouble, with a predicted $13 million deficit and a worrisome decrease in enrollment. While Rider’s student body has dropped from approximately 6,000 to about 5,000 since 2010, Westminster’s enrollment remains steady, according to Ms. Fee. Supporters of Westminster, a fixture in Princeton since 1932, fear that selling its campus threatens the future of the school. Three members of the Westminster Choir College Leadership Council, who met recently with Mr. Dell’Omo, shared their ideas with him about how to save the famed institution. “We made the very strong case that we think Rider should go public and say they are looking for an Continued on Page 4

Schools Propose $95.7 Million Budget

After lengthy preparations and deliberations, the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) last Thursday approved a tentative budget of $95,702 million for the 2017-18 school year, an increase of 4.88 percent over last year, with an anticipated 4.7 percent rise in the tax levy. School taxes on the average Princeton home, assessed at $821,771, would increase by $223.95, a 2.5 percent hike. “But this budget is not about numbers,” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane said. “A budget is really about vision, values, and financing the future of our children.” Mr. Cochrane went on to explain three key factors driving the budget increase: the Strategic Plan, including needs emerging from program reviews in science, community service and health, and PE; demographics, with 150-160 additional students projected for next year; and the first-year phase-in of the recently approved Charter School expansion, which will cost the district $826,000. Pointing out the extensive thinking and planning on the part of principals and supervisors during the process, Mr. Cochrane emphasized, “We’ve been very

judicious.” As an example he noted that the High School, despite an anticipated increase of 60 students next year, has not requested additional staff. Waivers due to enrollment growth and health care costs allow the District to raise the budget above the two percent state cap. Over the past two weeks, the Board, to rein in expenses, has cut $248,545 in new staff requests and an additional $147,570 on other proposed spending, ac-

cording to business administrator Stephanie Kennedy, and has also increased revenue by $250,000 from surplus. Mr. Cochrane noted that between now and finalization of the budget at the end of April, he and his staff are continuing to look for ways to reduce the increase. He added that he had communicated with Charter School Head Larry Patton in hopes of saving the District money Continued on Page 14

Portion of 206 to Be Closed July-October; Bridges Will Be Completed by December As repairs to New Jersey’s oldest bridge and the construction of a new bridge next to it move forward, a portion of Route 206 will be closed completely from July through October, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) announced at a public information meeting yesterday. Route 206 south of Princeton will be detoured for all vehicles from July to October, and there may also be overnight closures before July that will reduce 206 to one lane with alternating traffic. There has been a signed truck detour in place

for vehicles weighing more than 20 tons since emergency repairs were made more than a year ago, and that detour will remain in place throughout construction, which is scheduled to be completed by December. The roadway was first closed on February 22, 2016, due to a failure of the parapet and spandrel wall above the north arch on the upstream side of the stone arch bridge. An in-depth inspection of the bridge revealed additional problems. The DOT performed emergency repairs, and Continued on Page 12

EPHEMERA: The word derives from the Greek “ephemeros,” meaning “lasting only one day, short-lived,” which includes papers, curiosities, and collectible odds and ends of the sort found on a table in the Collector’s Corner during this year’s Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale, which lasted five days and will come back to life again next year. Special finds are mentioned in this week’s Town Talk. (Photo by Emily Reeves)

affiliation partner, which would pay them money,” said Howard McMorris, a Princeton University graduate who, like his father before him, served on Westminster’s Board of Trustees. “We told him that everybody comes out in a better situation if Rider does that, as opposed to trying to sell. We know that any attempt to consolidate at Rider is not going to work, for ten different reasons. And we offered to help him find affiliates.” Mr. Dell’Omo thanked Mr. McMorris and colleagues for the suggestion, Mr. McMorris said. “He said, ‘My obligation is to do what I think is best for Rider, and we agreed with that,’” he added. “But we believe he does not personally attach too much importance to what the Choir College represents.” I d e a l ly, Mr. McMor r i s continued, “Rider’s Board of Trustees would vote to make a public statement that the school is dedicated to the idea of preserving Westminster and keeping it in Princeton. And in order to do that, will make their best effort to find the strongest institutional affiliation possible, which would pay Rider for that affiliation. We have said we would work with them on doing that. They say they have a special committee considering all options and this is part of it. We recognize that they have real financial problems. We understand that. We are empathetic toward that.” The group is planning to approach Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and Princeton Theological Seminar y as well as institutions outside of Princeton including Yale University, Harvard University, Rutgers University, and University of Pennsylvania about the idea. “We think if we can convince Rider not to sell, then we can approach foundations, too,” Mr. McMorris said. “Support for the Choir College is very broad.” Support for keeping Westminster going has come from several corners. Tim Sharp, executive director of the American Choral Directors Association, sent an open letter to Mr. Dell’Omo on behalf of the organization’s 20,000 members stating, “Westminster Choir College (WCC) has been at the forefront of choral leadership throughout its existence, and in our estimation, it is as strong as ever.

institution of higher learning that has the term ‘Choir’ in its name, which is one of the reasons that Westminster’s earned and sustained reputation has such iconic importance.” A lu m nus Jos eph B eck was a donor to Westminster’s Marion Buckelew Cullen Center, which opened in 2014. “Rider President Dell’Omo seeks to save Rider by destroying Westminster,” he wrote in a letter to Jonathan Meer, Rider Vice President for Universit y Advance ment, according to the Coalition. “In the end, he will not be able to rescue Rider, but Westminster’s support group of parents, alumni, donors, and friends fully intends to save this treasure. I will seek legal recourse to compel Rider either to refund my donations or to disperse them to the various colleges that would benefit by accepting the incredibly talented students who could no longer train and study at WCC. I would strongly urge my fellow donors who are dismayed at the destructive leadership of the Rider administration to withhold their checks and to seek redress in the courts if the Rider Board of Trustees votes to sell the campus.”

Kristine Brown, spokesperson for Rider, confirmed Tuesday that the Board of Trustees will meet on March 28 and is expected to cast a vote on the possible sale at that time. —Anne Levin

Grand Opening Celebration Saturday For Public Library’s New Second Floor

Since last June, tarpaulins have covered the windows of Princeton Public Library’s second floor as renovations have been underway to reconfigure its layout and make it more relevant to the digital age. The “2Reimagine” project is

now complete, and the public is invited to tour the new space on Saturday while participating in a roster of celebratory activities. The full schedule of events begins at 10:30 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting at the top of the stairs on the second level, and concludes with a 5 p.m. performance at the Fireplace by a cappella groups from Princeton High School.

and the Robotic Rockettes, an all-female group of local middle school students, will display their award-winning robot in the Discovery Center. T h e n e wly con f ig u re d space, designed by New York architect Andrew Berman, was put together with input from focus groups of library users. The idea is to balance books and quiet areas with spaces devoted to collaboration, learning, and creativity.

her stewardship in 2004, the focus was on reference books and getting answers to questions from librarians. But digital content has changed the way people use libraries, she told Princeton Council when introducing the reconfiguration idea at a December, 2015 meeting. Funding for the $3 million project was raised almost exclusively from private sources, with only six percent coming from public coffers. Among those who will be on hand at Saturday’s ribboncutting ceremony is Mayor Liz Lempert, who holds her monthly “Meet the Mayor” sessions at the library and has been a supporter of the new design. “The new second floor is another example of what makes the Princeton’s Public Library not just a good public library, but an extraordinary one,” she said in an email. “The new configuration of meeting rooms, communal reading spaces, and technology instruction areas anticipates current and future needs, and adds an exciting new dimension to the library’s offerings. I’m especially grateful, in a time when municipal budgets are tight, that the funding for the project came almost entirely from private donors in the community.” —Anne Levin

He was a great friend of Daphne du Maurier’s family and I had just read Daphne du Maurier’s biography written by her daughter. She mentions him, he was known as Q. This is a book that you can’t find anywhere. I have a gigantic pile of Alexander McCall Smith books because I just adore him. I have a stack of poetry books and children’s books.

Keeping their momentum high in the volatile contemporary political environment, the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) gathered Sunday at the Suzanne Patterson Center behind Monument Hall to plan for the coming months and to endorse candidates for Assembly, State Senate, Mercer County Sheriff, Freeholder, and Princeton Council. “The outpouring of activity and commitment since November has been amazing,” said PCDO President Owen O’Donnell. “It is vital that we continue to raise our voices as well as work with campaigns at all levels to elect representatives who will fight for fair policies for all our citizens. The PCDO is going to be fully engaged during the primaries and general election.” Emphasizing the importance of electing a Democratic governor in November, Mr. O’Donnell continued, “New Jersey will be an important story in 2017. Along with Virginia, we are the only state in the country with major races, which puts us in the forefront of gauging reaction to the Trump administration.” The PCDO endorsed Andrew Zwicker and Roy Freiman for State Assembly and Laurie Poppe for State Senate, representing Legislative District 16; John “Jack” Kemler for Mercer County Sheriff. and John Cimino and Lucylle Walter for Mercer County Freeholders; and David Cohen and Leticia Fraga for Princeton

Council. At a meeting last month featuring Democratic candidates for governor, the PCDO formally endorsed Assemblyman John Wisniewski for the June gubernatorial primary. As last night’s gathering of about 100 endorsed all of the candidates by acclamation, themes of inclusion, diversity, affordability, taxes, and social justice reverberated throughout the evening’s commentary. Each candidate talked briefly, then answered questions from the audience. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert and Council Member Heather Howard also spoke, specifically addressing the issue of Princeton’s response to recent immigration policies. Expressing her concern over detrimental national policies, Ms. Lempert stated, “We’ve been working on staying true to our values, to continue building trust and building the community we want to live in.” She emphasized that the municipal government has been working with the Princeton Police Department (PPD) and that Police Chief Nick Sutter “is fully invested in this issue,” seeking “to convey the message that our police are there for public safety, to keep everybody safe,” and that the police “are guardians as opposed to warriors.” Mentioning that the Obama White House noted Princeton’s work in community-building, she concluded that under the current stressful conditions, “it is a time when we need to come

together as a community and not let these policies tear us apart.” Further emphasizing the importance of community building and partnerships, Ms. Howard pointed out Princeton’s efforts to combat wage theft and to send the message that “government works. Government works for the residents. People can come to the police and the government for help.” As they look forward to the June 6 primary and general elections in the fall, the candidates displayed different backgrounds, different strengths, and some different priorities, with an overall spirit of unity in working together. Mr. Kemler, who is seeking a third term as Mercer County Sheriff, with a total of 34 years in law enforcement, echoed Ms. Howard and Ms. Lempert’s emphasis on welcoming communities. “There is nothing in the statute for us to enforce recent immigration laws,” he said. “That’s not our job. Our job is to keep the community safe.” Noting his department’s good relationship with Chief Sutter and the PPD, Mr. Kemler pointed out that ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is only targeting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes.” Mr. Zwicker, who joined the Assembly t wo years ago in an upset victor y, highlighted the Democratic momentum in the 16th District, a traditional Republi-

can stronghold that includes Somerset, Hunterdon, and Middlesex Counties, as well as Princeton. “Let’s take a red district and turn it blue,” the Princeton Universit y Plasma Physics Laboratory scientist said, “because we have seen a government that doesn’t represent who we are as Democrats and as Americans. As a scientist I know the importance of facts and evidence in making the right decisions.” Ms. Poppe, a family law attorney and social worker, claimed to know the challenges facing the state and its residents, including education, health, and taxes. “Republicans do not know how to stand up for what they believe in,” she said. “Democrats do.” She stressed the importance of getting out the vote to support the Democratic candidates on all of the key issues. Mr. Freiman, recently retired as vice president at Prudential Financial, pointed out his business experience and his ability to foster collaboration. “I’m running because our government in New Jersey for the past eight years has ignored the problems that affect us,” he said, and he went on to mention his ability to “take the best ideas and make them work for us.” In reflecting on the gathering and recent PCDO efforts, Mr. O’Donnell obser ved, “Things have been snowballing. The positive side of the horrible news we’ve been receiving almost every day is the enthusiasm and the energy of the local response, but a lot more work has to be done.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton Charter School A free K-8 public school

There is still time to register for the Admissions Lottery for grades K-8. Our lottery registration deadline is April 3rd at 4:00pm. Register online: http://pcs.k12.nj.us/apply-using-online-form.cfm Weighted Lottery: Any family that can provide evidence of ONE of the following criteria will have his/her child’s lottery number placed into the lottery TWICE rather than once. •The child already qualifies for free/reduced lunch. •The child lives in Princeton public housing. •The child lives in Section 8 housing. •The child or guardian qualifies for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits Small School • Supportive Faculty • Strong Community • Excellent Achievement

For busy families, PCS offers some helpful options: Princeton Charter School opens its doors at 7:30am for all students in grades K-8. We provide after school care until 6:00pm. Our after school program is staffed with certified teachers who know Princeton Charter School’s curriculum and can help with homework. This high quality after-school care is provided at a very reasonable rate. There is no charge for families who meet our criteria for economically disadvantaged students. We have face-to-face afternoon and evening parent-teacher conferences (in every grade K-8). We provide freshly made hot lunches from D’Angelos — a local business — that meet all the requirements for public school lunches. Princeton Charter School participates in the free and reduced lunch program.

the road was reopened to traffic on March 7, 2016. E x tensive lean ing and bulging of t he spandrel walls and parapets required a more thorough rehabilitation to retrofit the structure for strength, safety, and durability. Temporary concrete barriers installed during the emergency repairs will be removed as the repairs are completed. In addition to the rehabilitation of the stone arch bridge, which was originally constructed in 1792 and widened in 1916, the project will include the replacement of the flood channel bridge, directly adjacent to the stone arch bridge. Constructing the two bridges at the same time will minimize the duration of the construction and detours. The flood channel br idge concrete deck is in poor condition with significant deterioration in both superstructure and substructure. It will be replaced with a single span bridge, whose nor t h abut m ent w i ll b e moved south to avoid demolition and excavation in the vicinity of the Worth Mill ruins, which are to be protected during construction. A single span structure will minimize environmental impacts and obstructions in the waterway. T he project is located within the historic districts of the Princeton Battlefield/ Stony Brook Settlement Village and the Kings Highway Districts. Archaeologic monitoring and documentation will accompany the construction.

Library Director Brett Bonfield Thanks PU Library for Help During Renovation

To the Editor: As I join our community and my colleagues at the Princeton Public Library in preparing for the grand reopening of the library’s second floor on Saturday, March 25, I want to take a moment to thank the Princeton University Library for its generous partnership in serving our cardholders during our renovation. We were committed to remaining open throughout the renovation and to offering the easiest possible access to the collection while the second floor was closed to the public. Princeton University Library made that possible by offering us storage, at no charge, in their facilities and supporting our efforts to page books upon request. This was a significant service to our cardholders, making the 30,000 volumes in the library’s adult nonfiction collection available typically within just a day or two after we received a request. Princeton University Library’s generosity also allowed my colleagues to spend the last several months completing an ambitious and innovative reorganization of the collection into “neighborhoods,” a new system that combines the best of bookstore organizational systems with the best of our tried and true Dewey Decimal System. We have invested a tremendous amount of time, attention, and our collection budget into ensuring that the books in the collection meet the needs of this community, and we are excited to share the reorganized adult nonfiction collection with everyone when we reopen the floor. We have never had a collection that was more likely to exceed everyone’s expectations and we have never before been able to make specific titles easier or more appealing to browse or find. The collection itself has never looked better, and we could not have completed this vital work without our friends and colleagues at the Princeton University Library. I look forward to seeing everyone at the ribbon cutting at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 25, and during the daylong celebration that will follow. BrETT BonfIELD Executive Director, Princeton Public Library

Let’s Look at the Choir College With New Eyes and New Creative Solution

To the Editor; Why can’t some kind of jointly operated music school be developed with Princeton University? Why not a newly contoured school where students are chosen for admission based on their musical abilities, while the degrees they receive come from either rider or Princeton Universities, depending on where they are matriculating? Westminster Choir College is too wonderful a place just to let it slip down the drain. It is the crown jewel of choral music schools and a crown jewel of our community. There is at least one precedent for organizing a university institution so that it is shared, and so that the degrees given are granted specifically by the participating institutions. Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) has its own campus in Indianapolis, and is jointly operated by Indiana University and Purdue University. See website: www.iupui.edu. My husband was once an adjunct professor there teaching classical studies. IUPUI is led by a chancellor, currently Chancellor nasser H. Paydar. With both Indiana U and Purdue operating in Indianapolis, UIPUI was formed in 1968, after then Mayor richard Lugar called for establishing a single great state university in Indianapolis. from this premise Indiana U. and Purdue, each commanding their strengths, established a new, bifurcated institution. When we were there, degrees granted in the humanities carried the name of Indiana University on its diplomas. faculty in the humanities received paychecks from Indiana University. Conversely on the science side, diplomas and paychecks bore the name of Purdue. Twenty years ago at least, when we were there, this division of mutual respect, comfortably remained, as IUPUI continued to evolve. So let’s look at Westminster Choir College with new eyes and a new creative solution that can enhance the choral offerings and prestige of several institutions. KIP CHErry Dempsey Avenue

Urging Public to Attend March 28 Board Meeting on School Budget and Vision

To the Editor: I am an elected member of the Princeton Board of Education, writing as an individual rather than in any official capacity as a member of the Board. I write to reiterate my support for the students, teachers, staff, and administration of our community’s public schools. I also write to encourage honest dialogue. The Board needs your input, and that of all members of our community, as it looks to craft a difficult school budget for next year, as well as to decide on the best long-term path to make sure that it has the facilities in place to serve our students and families. I urge you to attend the Tuesday, March 28 Board meeting at 8 p.m. The Board will hear a presentation from its demographer on the projected growth in enrollment in the Princeton Public Schools over the course of the next ten years. The Board will then continue its discussion of how best to shape next year’s school budget in light of those growing enrollments, the Princeton Charter School

PPS Should Begin to Ask the Question: Why Are Families Leaving for PCS?

To The Editor: As explained in the last Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BoE) meeting, schools are not businesses; in other words, we simply can’t slash one area of the curriculum in order to limit expenses. However, let’s consider the thought for a moment. How would any business that is losing customers to a competitor handle this situation? The answer is obvious: In order to stay in the game, they would rapidly assess why they are losing clients and innovate accordingly. Similarly, since PPS is so clearly concerned by the Princeton Charter School (PCS) expansion, they should begin to ask the hard question: Why are families leaving for PCS? Thus far, the community debate has largely focused on discrediting PCS goals, shaming PCS parents, and even belittling PCS students. Instead we should move towards rational and data-driven thought. We should reach across the aisles and learn what PCS is doing to attract these families. While some parents are quite comfortable marching into the school to advocate for their child, others are not, and prefer to quietly pack up and move on without ever sharing their reasons. The solution is not complex. A simple, and potentially anonymous, survey of elementary school PPS parents could tease out these issues. Important questions could be asked. Do you feel your child is appropriately challenged in school? Does homework seem suitable and relevant? Do you feel your child’s report card provides worthwhile feedback? How responsive do you feel teachers, administrators, and board members are to your concerns? Is the after-school program meeting your needs? Are you considering moving your child to another local school next year? Why? But let’s not stop there. Let’s also try to survey all the current PCS parents and compare the results. With this information, we could move away from ineffective insults and toward thoughtful innovations. In doing so, not only can we make PPS truly strong, but we could even make PCS unnecessary. JEnny LUDMEr Caldwell Drive

Dismayed to See Recurring Tactics in Campaign Being Conducted by Charter School Supporters

To the Editor: In the publicity campaign being conducted by Princeton Charter School supporters, I am dismayed to see recurring tactics: discrediting of ample public data showing that PCS is segregated, saddling of taxpayers with a financially draining and inefficient burden; diverting public attention by manufacturing off-base or flatly false counter-accusations; and attacking those who support our public schools. These strategies are sadly similar to those employed by the current administration in Washington. yet these offensive tactics were publicly lauded by the PCS trustees’ chairman at a recent, lavish PCS fundraising gala. We are all friends with PCS parents. Surely these calculated conspiracy theories, personal attacks, and especially, reprehensible denigration of public school children aren’t something that our fair-minded PCS friends condone. Anyone can see that they only compound the damage to the Charter School’s reputation following the widely-opposed expansion. I hope that PCS parents and the other trustees of the Princeton Charter School will publicly disavow rather than encourage them. I also urge the PCS trustees to do the right thing for our entire community and unilaterally stay or significantly reduce the number of seats by which PCS will expand. The trustees can do this without state approval. The only silver lining to this undemocratic, secretlyplanned PCS expansion is that thousands of Princeton residents are now keenly aware that new Jersey’s charter school law is broken. As a founding member of Save our

Schools new Jersey (SoSnJ), I can attest that this always has been the position of our organization regarding charter schools. SoSnJ is not “anti-charter;” since its founding in 2010 in response to the Christie administration’s devastating school aid cuts, SoSnJ’s position on charter schools has been straightforward: the state law should be amended to require local, democratic approval of new charter schools or expansions, and greater transparency and public accountability for existing charter schools. SoSnJ simply seeks basic democratic control for communities and transparency for charter schools. That certain Princeton Charter School leaders see these fundamentally fair tenets as an existential threat to their school is disturbing and very revealing. AUDrEy CHEn Linwood Circle

African-American Resident With Kids at PCS Responds to “Segregated School “ Claim

To the Editor: I want to register my complete dismay with Cara Carpenito’s comments [Mailbox, March 8] suggesting parents of Princeton Charter School examine their conscience for sending their children to a segregated school. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Carol Williams, an African American who resides in Princeton. All three of my children attend PCS. Ms. Carpenito, I would love to better understand your intentions, but I found your remarks incendiary and representative of the unnecessary animus the topic of the Charter School expansion has led to in our community. Should you be so concerned about our experience, it might help for you to know the PCS school administrators, teachers, and community could not have been more welcoming and my children are thriving academically and socially. I am completely aware of the history of de jure and de facto school segregation in this country and to suggest these conditions are true of PCS is completely uninformed and irresponsible.

Expansion of Princeton Charter School Will Add $826, 266 To PPS’ Non-Discretionary Obligations

To the Editor: After attending two Princeton Public Schools Board of Education meetings regarding the district’s proposed 2017-18 budget, I’d like to commend the administrators and Board members for working to find ways to plug the gaping hole created by the expansion of Princeton Charter School, which will add $826,266 this year to PPS’s nondiscretionary obligations. Many hackneyed, misleading tropes are being tossed around attempting to minimize PCS’s effect on taxpayers. But the numbers reveal the significant impact of this new obligation forced on us by non-elected charter school trustees and a politically-motivated governor. This year’s $800+K additional payment to PCS almost doubles the increase in the district’s total non-discretionary expenditures from the prior: the change in non-discretionary expenses overall is $1,721,520, of which the increased PCS payment is 47.8 percent. of the total $3,794,989 proposed increase in both nondiscretionary and discretionary expenses for 2017-18, the additional payment to PCS accounts for 21 percent. Thus, 21 percent of the increase to taxpayers will pay charter school tuition for 1.4 percent of our total student population — all of whom could be well-served in the public schools. The proposed budget also includes cuts — money taken from the remaining 98.6 percent of our community’s public school children. The proposed cuts will hit curriculum and instruction, maintenance, technology/security, staff, all spending categories essential to maintaining high-quality education and services to our diverse student population. Listening to the in-depth discussions on what actions can be taken to meet the additional $826,266 burden caused by PCS’s expansion, it’s clear how limited the district’s options are, given that the budget is predominantly fixedcost and non-discretionary, and given the tight time frame (state law requires approval of a final budget by April 25). Many good ideas were raised, but most require a longer horizon for implementation. But right now, even with cuts, a tax increase of 4.7 percent may be required to balance the budget. More than a quarter of that increase is due to PCS’s expansion, one that the local taxpayers subsidizing it overwhelmingly opposed. The next school board meeting about the budget is Tuesday, March 28. I encourage the public to attend. AnnE DESMonD Tee-Ar Place

expansion, and the many goals of its strategic plan. My personal plea is for us to work together while acknowledging the hard work of those who teach and help our students. Let us also reject divisiveness — the misguided urge to tear down individual schools or question the worthiness of specific groups of our students. In any fair assessment, we know from years of official data that all our schools are ranked extremely high, due to the hard work of our children and the unflagging efforts of our teachers and staff, backed by the crucial support of this remarkable community. Let us continue working together, as parents, residents, and Board members, to identify and fix areas that may need strengthening, but let us stay united to better protect our schools in the current troubled political and economic environment. With your help, the Board has pledged to do so in as efficient a manner as possible, mindful of the financial burden it is asking you to assume. Most importantly, however, let us heed the words of our superintendent, and never lose sight of the fact that we are working on behalf of all our children. They include those living in every one of our many neighborhoods that together make up our diverse community; they are recently arrived as well as from long-standing Princeton families; they are high school students from Cranbury and from the Princeton Charter School; and they are students who need additional services and support. our goal should be to continue to serve them all, in order to help each one of them fulfill his or her personal vision of a meaningful life. With your guidance and input, this is a goal that I hope the community will remain willing to support. GrEGory STAnKIEWICz Jefferson road

Paul Muldoon Paul Muldoon Reading At Labyrinth March 28

Described by the late Nobel Prize winning poet Seamus Heaney as “one of the era’s true originals,” Paul Muldoon will be reading from Selected Poems 19682014 (Farrar Straus and Giroux $27) at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday, March 28, at 6 p.m. Fellow poet and Lewis Center faculty member Michael Dickman will introduce his colleague. Selected Poems 1968 – 2014 offers forty-six years of work drawn from twelve individual collections by a poet who “began as a prodigy and has gone on to become a virtuoso” (Michael Hof ma n n ) . A mong Mu l doon’s many honors are the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the Shakespeare Prize “for contributions from Englishspeaking Europe to the European inheritance.” According to Roger Rosenblatt in The New York Times, Paul Muldoon is “one of the great poets of the past

hundred years, who can be everything in his poems— word-playful, lyrical, hilarious, melancholy. And angry. Only Yeats before him could write with such measured fury.” Poetry editor of The New Yorker, Paul Muldoon is the author of twelve previous books of poetry, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Moy Sand and Gravel. He is the Howard G. B. Clark ’21 University Professor in the Humanities at Princeton and teaches Creative Writing at the Lewis Center for the Arts. This event is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts ———

It has become a full-‐Eledged room, often sporting hardwood Eloors, crown molding, windows, and even a charging station. In Princeton, these rooms can handle all four seasons with function and fashion. Here are a few tips:

Optimize the space. This room is perfect for storage space for shoes, lunch bags, sports equipment and pet essentials such as food dishes, leashes, blankets and toys. Consider this: a full room isn’t even necessary to take full advantage of a mudroom’s beneEits. N narrow hall or a partial wall will sufEice if the space is utilized correctly.

Maximize storage options. Keep the mudroom uncluttered. Storage pieces can consist of counters, tables and benches, which will serve both day-‐to-‐day and seasonal items. In addition, feel free to customize by giving each member of the household their own space with built-‐in cabinets that resemble a set of lockers. Other essentials can include a boot tray, baskets, a chalk or message board, and an umbrella stand. Keep it simple. Home centers and container stores offer a wealth of inexpensive (and extremely simple) storage ideas, such as wall-‐mounted racks for boots, shelving for hats and hooks and baskets for athletic gear. Many of these are tailored speciEically for utility spaces, which makes your life simpler. Give the mudroom the attention it deserves and it will be sure to help you manage the chaos of your lifestyle. That is what they are designed to do!

before they turn violent, applying simple but effective tactics rooted in principles of non-violence. Using methods taught by the Montgomery County (MD) Civil Rights Coalition, including interactive lecture, discussion and a series of role-play scenarios, participants will learn and practice non-violent de-escalation tactics with immediate and broad applicability in our troubled times. Ms. Small-Lorenz and Ms. Smith have trained together and taught Bystander Intervention tactics with the Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition. Ms. SmallLorenz is an ecologist specializing in climate change adaptation and resilience in her day job at The National Wildlife Federation in Washing ton, DC. Ms. Smith is a litigation attorney who also directs a high school and college career mentoring program for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in Fort Washington, MD, and teaches high school dating violence prevention workshops. ———

$95.7 Million Budget continued from page one

t hrough a reduct ion in the size or the rate of rollout of the Charter School expansion. The tentative budget will be submitted to the State Department of Education for approval before being presented again at a public hearing on April 25. Parents and community members are encouraged to attend the March 28 Board meeting to provide additional feedback. The District also expects to propose a facilities bond referendum, possibly as soon as a December 2017 special election, to accommodate increasing enrollments and space needs. Setback for PARCC In other school news of note, the New Jersey Assembly voted 67-3 last Thursday to overturn regulations making the PARCC tests (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) a graduation requirement. The process does not require the governor’s signature, but it must still pass the State Senate, which will consider the proposal in its Education Committee. Current rules require students to pass the PARCC 10th grade English and Algebra I exams in order to graduate from high school, beginning with the Class of 2021, now eighth graders. Students currently in high school can fulfill the graduation requirement with scores on the SAT, ACT or other exams.

Local educators, teachers’ unions, and community members have criticized the controversial PARCC, with many parents in Princeton choosing for their children, par t icu larly at t he high school level, to opt out of taking the tests. This years’s PARCC testing begins next week. —Donald Gilpin

Princeton Dog Training Club Donates Life Saving Equipment

Police Blotter

Dogs and cats in Mercer County will be safer in the event of a fire now that the Princeton Dog Training Club (PDTC) has donated three respirator masks for dogs (small, medium, and large) and one mask for cats with an induction chamber included, to the Hopewell and Griggstown fire departments. The respirators will be used to administer oxygen should a dog or cat suffer from smoke inhalation. According to PDTC President Debra Fronheiser, the Princeton Dog Training Club’s membership voted to donate the respirators as part of its annual charitable donation disbursement. “The Princeton Dog Training Club was pleased to be able to present life-saving oxygen masks for pets affected by fire and smoke inhalation to two local fire departments this year. Our presentation to the Griggstown Volunteer Fire Department was particularly rewarding because our Princeton Dog Training Club’s Obedience Dog Training program is based at this firehouse,” she said. According to Ms. Fronheiser, the masks hook up to

On March 10, at 9: 03 p.m., police responded to the 200 block of Walnut Lane on a report of a juvenile who was suspected to be in possession of marijuana. Officers revealed that three 15-year-old juveniles were in possession of suspected marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and underage possession of alcohol. They were charged and released to their parents. On March 15, at 10:26 a.m., a 61-year-old male from Trenton was charged w it h shoplif t i ng at Mc Caffrey’s Food Market on Harrison Street. The investigation revealed he had shoplifted groceries valued at approximately $100. He was transported to police headquarters where he was found to have active warrants from Trenton and Ewing in the total amount of $1,158. He was turned over to the Lawrence Township Police Department. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

AWARD WINNERS: Good Grief, which provides help and comfort to grieving children and families, has been selected by 100+ Women Who Care of Mercer County as their winter 2017 donor recipient. Pictured from left to right are Ellen Fahey, Courtney Hodock, and Debbie Blakely and her two daughters, who have participated in the organization’s programs.

Riding Coach From Princeton to Great Falls With Richard Ford

ne of the most intense reading experiences of my life happened when I worked as a freelance proofreader for Knopf and was Fed-Exed the galleys for Cormac Mc Carthy’s The Crossing (1994) on Friday with the task of getting the proofed work back no later than Monday. I was looking at well over 400 pages of narrative that included a fair amount of Spanish, a language of which I knew little beyond adios. By Sunday I was glassy-eyed, dazzled, mesmerized, and so swept up in the power of the thing that all I could talk about when I came up for air was The Crossing. Now it’s happening again with Richard Ford’s 2012 novel Canada, for which I have no deadline and no reason to be reading beyond making a reasonably informed comparison with the most recent volume in Ford’s acclaimed Frank Bascombe series, Let Me Be Frank With You (Ecco 2014), a grouping of four long stories, three of which are set in the Princeton-haunted fictive town of Haddam, N.J. I picked up a copy of Canada at the library late Saturday afternoon and have been devoted to it ever since. It’s 412 pages long and I’m only halfway through. As with The Crossing, this is one of those rare reading experiences where a page-turner and a work of literature become one and the same. My mission here, however, is to preview Ford’s appearance at Friday’s spring benefit for People & Stories/Gente et Cuentos by writing about the Bascombe book, which is a relatively (if deceptively) easier ride at 238 amply spaced pages. Given the upcoming local event, I’m focusing on Let Me Be Frank With You with attention to the Princeton connection. In any case, there’s no way I could do justice to what Ford has accomplished in Canada. The phrase pitch-perfect has been used and abused to the point where it may soon earn a place in Frank Bascombe’s “personal inventory” of the words that “should no longer be usable” according to his belief that “life’s a matter of gradual subtraction.” Assuming pitch-perfect still has sufficient voltage, it’s a quick and easy (Frank might say default) way to suggest the sense of Ford’s total command of prose and plot in Canada. Townies Richard Ford and his wife Kristina lived in Princeton from the autumn of 1976 into the early 1980s, first in an apartment on Linden Lane, then in a house they bought on Jefferson Road, just around the corner from the library. “We were townies, not university mice,” Ford said in an email regarding his November 2007 appearance at the Friends of the Library’s annual fundraiser. “Ties to PU didn’t come along until some time later.... Looked at from this remove of time, being a townie was probably what saved me, and made me able to imagine the three books I set in what might be seen as a made-up place that occasionally resembles Princeton.” Although Let Me Be Frank contains references to reading the Packet and driving “down to the Choir College” before taking a turn toward “Hodge Road” and “the wellheeled west side of town,” Ford’s post-Hurricane-Sandy Haddam makes an awkward fit with politically progressive 21st-century

Princeton, especially when he refers to “a surprisingly large segment of our Haddam population (traditionally Republican; recently asininely Tea Party)” hewing to the belief that President Obama “either personally caused Hurricane Sandy, or at the very least piloted it ... to target the Jersey Shore.” Perhaps the clearest intimation of Princetonin-Haddam is a reference to the “stillholding-on black trace ... beyond the Boro cemetery” where “tidy frame homes have been re-colonized by Nicaraguans and Hondurans” while becoming “available to a new wave of white young-marrieds who ... pride themselves on living in a ‘heritage’ neighborhood.” An Instrument and a Vessel When asked in a 2014 New Yorker interview what made him take on Frank Bascombe again after previously indicating that The Lay of the Land would be the last book in the series, Ford mentions seeing first-hand the devastation Hurricane Sandy inflicted on that novel’s Jersey Shore setting, the impact of which sent Frank Bascombe sentences “skirling” in his head. At the same time, Ford emphatically denies the interviewer’s casual assumption that Frank is a living person: “He’s an instrument and a vessel, made of language, which I fill up with all sorts of things that are running through my mind.” Of all the quirky, earthy, piquant, jargon-jaunty, casually figurative, seemingly spontaneously inventive examples of Bascombe’s personal style I could cite, one of my favorites echoes a word Ford stresses in the New Yorker interview, first when he quotes Thoreau to the effect “that a writer is someone with nothing to do who finds something to do” and again in paraphrasing Neruda’s “something kicked in my soul” as “something kicking somewhere that becomes a call to language.” The Bascombe sentence I’m thinking of occurs in the third story, “The New Normal,” in reference to his first wife’s father, “a feederindustry magnate for the automotive monolith (he produced a thing that made a metal thing that caused a smaller third thing not to get too hot, and work better; those were days when people still made things and used machines, instead of the opposite).” As you can see from that parenthetical cadenza, Ford does a lot with a little (subtraction in action) in expressing Frank’s who-cares repetition of the t-word rather than search out and specify the appropriate terminology. Besides being built to survive a

variety of uses throughout the novel, thing is a wild card Frank plays at key moments, as when he poses his concept of “The Default Self” against all his first wife’s “true-thing issues.” The word surfaces again after a dying man who has just confessed having sex with Frank’s first wife asks him “Tell me what you think of me,” to which Frank responds with “the truest thing” that he can say (“It doesn’t change anything”) while thinking: “But is this all that life comes down to when you take away damn near everything? What do you think of me?” That Title The previous Bascombe books have solid useful publisher’s-seal-of-approval titles like The Sportswriter, Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land while Let Me Be Frank With You is from left field, a gamble, a shot in the dark, off the wall, out there. Dismissed by The Guardian as “the only false note in this pitch-perfect book [ there it goes again, as Reagan once said]... Frank Bascombe would not, in the old days, have stooped to the pun.” Maybe not, but in its own strange way the title works. For one thing, it instantly puts you on a first-name basis with the narrator, and yes, Frank is nothing if not frank, and the “With You” gathers you into his story as surely as if you were sharing a seat in coach on a train ride from, say, Montreal to Vancouver. Many Voices In One There are times when in spite of being Ford’s “vessel,” Frank seems to take over. In Canada, which also has a first-person narration, the author is, as I suggested, in total, beautiful control. The fun of riding along with Frank (say you’re in the club car now and you’ve had a few) is you’re never sure what he’s going to say next, or how he’s going to put it. As the darkened landscape goes by outside the train window, he may begin to make you uneasy because his fatalistic, not so benign, subtraction-is-everything view of humanity clashes with your own outlook. At times he sounds downright callous, in-yourface, and you find yourself thinking, “Do I really want to have this conversation?” What makes you stay with Frank is the protean nature of his deceptively down-toearth persona; he reminds you of Keats’s definition of the “chameleon poet” as “the most unpoetic thing in existence.” In other words, he’s all over the place, reflecting a world of tones, modes, and genres (the exrealtor who was once a published writer

and has done some teaching). He’s picked up some tropes from media (think talk radio, The Sopranos, film noir) and sports (he was also a sportswriter) and pop-tech culture with an ear for the slang of sales talk and tech cliche right down to humming for your amusement the ringtone he heard being played on a dying man’s smart phone. He can be tender, usually when talking about his wife Sally, and sympathetic to a lesser, more knowing degree on the subject of his first wife Ann, who has Parkinson’s. You may detect a slightly racist undercurrent when he describes the African American woman who shows up at his home on Wilson Lane (she grew up there and has a terrible story to tell), and his way of picturing people, regardless of race or gender, sometimes reminds you of a Flannery O’Connor story or of a Raymond Chandler private eye as in his death-bed vista of “odious sick-room implements” that are needed “in order to die better” and include “no resuscitative trappings ... no digital gauges to tick off the heart’s gradual sink-sink-sink to sayonara” —a hard-boiled beauty Chandler himself might have admired. There’s also a touch of Chandler in his account of a meeting with the man he sold his doomed Sea Clift home, as when he thinks, “Possibly he’s packing a PPK and will simply shoot me for once selling him a house that’s now worth chicken feed. I’ve let myself in for this. Men are a strange breed.” Then, when you think you’ve figured him out, he begins to sound like Holden Caulfield when describing the goodbye hug he endures (“my mouth muffled against his goddam mobster coat”). The Right Word Imagine, the train arrives at Vancouver and your ole pal Frank hands you a novel he wrote, called Canada. Talk about surprises. You sit down in the waiting room and start reading. You forget where you were going. It seems the train back east leaves in four hours. You know you’re reading a master when you finally get to the last words of the scene that he’s spent 160 pages setting you up for. Talk about subtraction. He’s taken language down to its essence, one simple sentence: “Then that part of this was at an end.” ot for me. I’m in this one for the long haul. The Crossing took me to darkest Mexico. I’m almost halfway through Canada and I’m still in Great Falls, Montana. —Stuart Mitchner

BOOK REVIEW

Photographer Ricardo Barros To Speak on “Figuring Space” In his most recent work, noted photographer Ricardo Barros tackles the inexpressible — the abstraction that is space itself. Barros will be giving a lecture on his portfolio “Figuring Space” on Monday, April 3 for the Princeton Photography Club at the D&R Greenway. Barros knew he needed to make art part of his life since he was a teenager, when a visit to a Paul Strand exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts affected him so

profoundly it left him physically shaking: “It became essentially a spiritual experience for me just to stand there,” he recalls of the black and white collection of portraits and landscapes. So after high school, Barros enrolled at Lake Forest College in Illinois to study art history — a course of study that he believed would more readily allow him access to the world of fine art than would photography school, which he saw as being more

technically and commercially focused. But after a short, happy interval studying art history, growing concerns about his future employment prospects prompted him to transfer to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he earned a bachelor’s in engineering, before going on to complete a master’s in civil engineering from Penn State. His present livelihood in photography seems a bit unlikely given that he spent the first 16 years of his career as a researcher with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, conducting analyses on construction materials used in infrastructure projects. But throughout his tenure as an engineer, Barros developed his craft as a photographer on the side. He found friends in the art world through painters who hired him to make slides of their art to submit to galleries. As he taught himself through trial and error and gradually built up his collection of equipment, his hobby became more and more serious. In 1984 he won a fellowship in photography from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Finally, after 16 years with the DOT, Barros decided to pursue photography full time, and he has now devoted himself to art for over two decades. In “Figuring Space,” Barros uses the human figure to explore space as a metaphor. He is drawn to the abstraction of space, to the way it expresses as nonexistence. Space is the void, and it only makes sense to us when we frame some portion of it. “Pragmatists think of space as separation,” he writes, “Sculptors think of it as form. For architects, space is synonymous with flow. Traders see it as commodity. Mourners perceive it as loss. Visionaries perceive it as destination. And partners dance on a knife’s edge in space.” For this series, Barros constructed a box in his studio as a relatively neu-

Just as space in our daily lives is given meaning and dimension through the human stuff of daily living, so is Barros’s space made intelligible by his models. The body brings to space some modicum of sense. The images play with the tension between abstraction and context that space embodies — that tug between a sort of ideal Platonic form of space and space as we, embodied, experience it. Barros notes that the figures themselves began to alert him to another parallel tension in the work, that between nude and naked — the former sublime, referring to an art object, and not wholly of this world, the latter human and lacking. For Barros, this in turn prompted an exploration of the differences between the sensual, sexual, and erotic. Barros didn’t anticipate all of this, but he welcomes the examination that came of it. He says that he cares less about the photography itself than about the ideas that are behind it and come

from it. In describing this contingent and spontaneous process of discovery, he resorts to the statistical language of his earlier career in engineering: “This is almost like a random walk, where you take one random step and you see where you are and you take another random step …. You never know what you’re going to touch next.” The photographer, who is based in Bucks County, has work in the permanent collections of 11 museums including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, The

Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo in his native Brazil. A selection of Barros’s work and his contact information can be found on his website, where he also accepts professional photography assignments: www.ricardobarros.com.

CINEMA REVIEW

Exposé Descibes Billionaire’s Crusade Against a Possible Pyramid Scheme

price would plummet. Nevertheless, Ackman was considered a Robin Hood in working-class circles, because he promised to distribute any profits he might make — when the stock’s value plummeted — to the unsophisticated minorities who had lost their life savings that they had invested in the company. The millions of victims were predominantly undocumented immigrants who were afraid to report how they’d been fleeced to the authorities because they were afraid of being deported. To prove his case, Ackman first needed to convince the Federal Trade Commission that Herbalife was indeed a criminal enterprise. That would not be easy, considering all the prominent individuals who were lobbying on behalf of the firm, such as CNBC investment adviser Jim Kramer, Donald Trump’s crony Carl Icahn, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and exMayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa. For instance, billionaire Carl Icahn not only propped up Herbalife’s stock by taking a huge stake in the company but even went on television to refute Ackman’s pledge to give his financial gains from short To: ___________________________ selling the stock to charFrom: _________________________ Date &ity.Time: __________________ Ultimately, the controversial case is resolved in Here is a proof of your ad, scheduled to run ___________________. one side’s favor, though it Please check it thoroughly and pay special attention would to thebefollowing: unfair for me to spoil the ending.

very couple of years or so, this reviewer is approached by a friend or acquaintance who is excited about some great new product that they’ve just quit their job to sell. Curiously, instead of trying to make me a customer, they’re always more interested in offering me an opportunity to share in their good fortune by becoming a distributor. That’s a red flag that the business isn’t legitimate, but a pyramid scheme. Such an operation is easy to identify, because its participants profit primarily by recruitment rather than by the sale of goods or services to consumers. Directed by Ted Braun (Darfur Now), Betting on Zero chronicles hedge fund manager Bill Ackman’s campaign to expose the health food corporation Herbalife as being a multi-level marketing Ponzi scheme. What makes the movie intriguing is that Ackman may not have been acting altruistically, since he had also shorted Herbalife by placing a billion-dollar bet that the company’s stock

Tiger Men’s Hoops Edged by Notre Dame in NCAAs As Valiant Rally Comes Up Just Short in 60-58 Loss

he luck of the Irish came a few hours early as the Notre Dame men’s basketball team battled Princeton on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day last week in the first round of the NCAA tournament. After building a 45-34 lead over 12th-seeded Princeton early in the second half last Thursday, the fifth-seeded Fighting Irish were on their heels as the Tigers clawed back into the West Region contest. The Notre Dame lead shrunk to 59-58 and the Fighting Irish found themselves in the vortex of March Madness as Princeton got the ball with 11 seconds left and a chance to win but a Devin Cannady shot rimmed out with the 17,806 on hand at the KeyCenter in Buffalo, N.Y. gasping as one. Notre Dame rebounded the miss and added a free throw with a second left to prevail 6058. Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson believed that a Tiger upset was on the way as Cannady’s shot flew towards the rim. “I thought that shot was going in; Devin’s shot was

the right look for us,” said Henderson. Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey knew that his team was lucky to edge the Tigers, pointing to its defense on the perimeter as a key factor, as the Fighting Irish held Princeton to 8-of31 shooting from three-point range. “I am thrilled about our defense to keep them under 40 percent and really guard the arc,” said Brey. “That’s how we were going to escape and we did escape.” I n H e n d e r s o n ’s v i e w, Princeton’s defense sparked its dramatic rally. “You watch Notre Dame on tape and it is a patient, slow team; in the game it is even slower,” said Henderson, whose team saw a 19-game winning streak snapped by the loss as it ended up with a final record of 23-7. “It forces you to get out of your comfort zone and it really challenges all of the principles that you have defensively. I thought we settled in. We didn’t play a great game offensively but I thought we really gave ourselves the chance to win the game on the defensive end

during that run.” Princeton senior star Steven Cook never doubted that the Tigers were going to fight to the end. “In a situation like that, you are trying to do everything you can to claw back,” said Cook. “I thought we really weren’t sharp the majority of the game. We have been playing a lot better the majority of the year. At the end we started to get back to our old ways and make some stops and make some shots. Sometimes it falls short.” For Henderson, the Princeton comeback exemplified the resilience the squad displayed all winter long. “This team has been punched in the face a little bit throughout the course of the season but they have always been able to respond,” said Henderson, who got 15 points from Spencer Weisz in the defeat with Cook adding 11 points and seven rebounds and sophomore star Myles Stephens contributing 10 points, five rebounds, and two blocked shots. “I have been on teams where that doesn’t happen. They did a great job but I

was pleased with the chances that we had.” Getting tested by an improved Ivy League helped steel the Tigers for the clash with the Fighting Irish. “What you see now is the product of three or four months of having to run through the league, it is not the least bit surprising to me that we are here,” said Henderson, whose team went 14-0 in regular season league play and then won two games in the inaugural Ivy tournament to earn a berth in the NCAA tourney. “The talent level in the league is very high and the coaching is very high. We had a really good shot today; I felt good about it.” Henderson feels very good about what the Tigers accomplished this winter. “It was such an enjoyable team to coach and I have to thank our seniors, in particular Steve and Spencer, for their leadership,” said Henderson. “We lost two guys earlier in the season. Right now this one hurts. When you are in the locker room afterwards it is really hard to say the proper thank you because it feels like goodbye. We are here because of these guys; they made us a championship team again. We are thankful for that. They represented

both Princeton basketball and Princeton University in a first class way. I am proud of them.” Weisz and Cook exerted a major influence on and off the court for the program. “Spencer has allowed us to play a certain way; we are very difficult to guard and then Steve, we were just in the locker room and his teammates were saying some pretty incredible things about him,” said Henderson. “He truly makes you want to be a better person when you are around him. He is an academic All-American, our first since 1998. He deserves every bit of that recognition.” Cook, for his part, is leaving with some incredible memories of his final campaign. “I think this year has been amazing for us, accomplishing 16-0 in the Ivy League, getting the program back to the NCAA tournament and its winning ways, and accomplishing everything we set out to do,” said Cook. “I have done it with people

I consider my family and it is emotional for it to come to an end. I am going to cherish everything I have put into this program and these four years.” Weisz echoed Cook’s sentiments as he reflected the program’s first NCAA appearance since 2011. “I am just so proud of the team we became; early on we had our rough patches certainly,” said Weisz. “Guys went down, people stepped up, roles changed but nonetheless we were always committed to our goals and it showed. We had a great run. We hadn’t lost in a while. It hurts for us right now certainly and you want out to go with a win and a deep tournament run. We gave it our all. I am proud of the guys. It has been an unbelievable year. It has been an unbelievable four years. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.” And neither could the fans on hand last Thursday afternoon in Buffalo as the Tigers battled the Fighting Irish tooth and nail to the final buzzer. —Bill Alden

With fifth-seeded Notre Dame clinging to a 5958 lead over 12th-seeded Princeton in the waning seconds of an opening round contest in the NCAA tournament last Thursday, the Tigers got a rebound from Spencer Weisz and a chance at a game-winning bucket. With the crowd of 17,806 at the KeyCenter in Buffalo N.Y. in an uproar, junior guard Bell rushed the ball

up the court and passed to sophomore Cannady, who lofted a three-pointer that rattled out and the Tigers ended up losing 60-58 as the Fighting Irish added a free throw with a second left to provide the final margin. “Both men went with me and Devin had a good shot,” said Bell, recalling the final Princeton possession. “With Devin shooting the ball, you always think it is going to go in. There is no one else you would rather have taking that shot. It was unfortunate to have it not go in. It was a great shot and I

would take it any day.” Cannady, for his par t, was confident that the ball was going in when it left his hands. “I got my feet set, the ball came to me in my shot pocket, I looked at the rim and when the ball left my hand I thought that was good,” said Cannady, who grew up just miles from the Notre Dame campus in Mishawaka, Ind. “It didn’t go in and that is what happens when you take those shots, either it goes in or it doesn’t. In this case, it didn’t.” Bell knew the Tigers weren’t about to go away in the clash with the Fighting Irish even though they trailed 45-34 with 13:22 left in the second half. “We showed so much fight and grit,” said Bell. “We have been in so many different situations. We have confidence that we can come back and win any game. We just know to stay locked in and stay focused.” The team drew confidence all season from its stellar group of seniors which included Khyan Rayner, Alexander Lee, Hans Brase, Peter Miller, and Steven Cook in addition to Weisz. “They mean so much; I love those guys so much, all six of them,” said Bell. “They just established a culture around here. They have just been so important to us as a team and we are going to miss them so much.” In the view of Weisz, the future of the Princeton program and the Ivy League are in good hands. “We feel we can compete with anyone; it is a testament to our league, a testament to our players and I am looking forward to the growth in our league and hopefully it’s recognition,” said Weisz. “I think the Ivy League tournament certainly helps get us a national stage right before the Selection Show. There is a bright future ahead I think for the Ivy League in general.” Reflecting on the valiant effort against Notre Dame, Bell is excited about what the future holds for the Tigers, who ended the season with a 23-7 record. “It was a big time experience,” said Bell. “We fit in there as everyone could see, we belong. Every day since the beginning of the year, coach (Mitch Henderson) has been talking about preparing to beat the best teams in the country. I think we can play with anybody. We couldn’t come out on top today but next year we are going to be back.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Hoops Falls to Villanova in WNIT, Displaying its Resilience, Character to the End When the Princeton University women’s basketball team started its 2016-17 campaign by losing its first four games, it didn’t look like a squad headed to postseason play. But the Tigers regrouped, ending up in second place in the Ivy League standings and advancing to the title game of the league tournament. As a result, Pr inceton found itself hosting Villanova in the first round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) last Friday evening. “It showed this group how far they had gone,” said Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart, reflecting on the program’s eighth straight appearance in a postseason tournament. “We just wanted to loosen up and enjoy it and I think we did.” While Banghart didn’t enjoy the outcome as the Tigers fell 59-53 to Villanova, she liked the way her team fought to the end. “It was a possession game and their stars made more winning plays at the end than ours,” said Banghart, whose team trailed 21-14 after the first quarter and then outscored the Wildcats 39-38 over the rest of the contest as junior star Leslie Robinson led the way with 14 points and 12 rebounds. “It was a possession game that could go either way and we have been on both ends of it.” Noting that the season could have gone poorly due to the fact that the Tigers lost five stellar seniors and 92 percent of its scoring to graduation from last year’s squad and suffered through adversity this winter, Banghart is proud of the 16-14 record posted by Princeton. “W hen you lose 4,500 points in one year and you get one of your stars returning with an ACL tear and during the season we had four knee surgeries and mono and everything else, there are so many opportunities to say we are just rebuilding,” said Banghart. “Our kids were never willing to do that. I really en-

joyed coaching the team. I felt like it was different than a lot of the years I have had in the past, in that way it was rejuvenating.” Banghart credited her trio of seniors, Vanessa Smith, Taylor Brown, and Jackie Reyneke, with setting a winning tone. “What they ensured is that the culture of our program is in place regardless of result,” said Banghart, reflecting on a group that finished with 90 wins, one Ivy League title, and four postseason appearances. “They (Brown, Reyneke) had sat behind others, and in Vanessa’s case, her role was always more that defensive guy. We didn’t need much from her on offense for most of her career. The next thing you know the program is handed to them. The way that they selflessly carried out their task all four years and the way they contributed to winning when the program was in their hands, they ensured that a second place finish was what they earned. You are so grateful to them because this could have been a really challenging year and it wasn’t; it was really enjoyable.” With a foundation of returners featuring freshman star Bella Alarie, the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, and junior standout Robinson along with starting sophomore forward Sydney

Jordan and such key reserves as sophomore Gabrielle Rush, junior Kenya Holland, junior Tia Weledji, and sophomore Jordan Muhammad, Banghart believes the program is in good hands going forward. “A lot of guys got experience this year,” said Banghart. “Leslie Robinson and Sydney Jordan showed how important the offseason is because they came back so much better. I think they had the best offseasons of the kids coming back. We have got really talented freshmen coming in a top 40 ranked class nationally so we will have an influx of talent. For the pieces that we have, it will be up to them to determine what the offseason looks like and how much better they want to get individually. It is Leslie’s team now and I have a ton of confidence in her leadership for sure.” Heading into the offseason, Banghart will be looking to get her returning players more confident in their game. “We always do offensive skillwork in the spring and work on team concepts and defensive stuff in the fall,” said Banghart. “We are going to get started right away with their offensive skill work. You look them in the eye and ask them what kind of player they want to be and then you help them get to be that player skill-wise.” —Bill Alden

When Princeton University men’s lacrosse team hosted Penn last spring, it fell behind 9-3 at halftime on the way to a 20-10 drubbing at the hands of the Quakers. Coming off a 16-11 loss to No. 5 Rutgers last Wednesday evening in arctic conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees and a wind chill of four at game time, Princeton came out on fire when it renewed its rivalry with Penn last Saturday at Franklin Field in the Ivy League opener for both teams. The 15th-ranked Tigers

raced out to a 5-1 first quarter lead and never looked back on the way to a 17-8 triumph over the No. 19 Quakers, improving to 5-2 overall. “It was a big game for us just to start Ivy play; we had a good, quiet focused warmup and then our guys got off to a good jump,” said Princeton head coach Matt Madalon. “We had a couple of wrinkles that allowed us to get going offensively. We made a couple saves early. We were able to get a couple of

faceoffs too so everything just kind of clicked for us early. Once we put a couple on the board, our guys seemed to loosen up a little bit and they seemed to tighten up a little bit. We kind of got rolling from there.” Building on an 8-3 halftime lead, the Tigers outscored the Quakers 6-1 in the third quarter to seal the deal. “They ran a little zone so that actually slowed the pace it took us a minute or two to sort it out,” said Madalon. “Our guys did a good job of executing.” Freshman phenom Michael Sowers took his offensive execution to a new level in the win over Penn, tallying a career-high nine points on five goals and four assists. “He is really impressive, he stepped up big for us,” said Madalon of Sowers who was later named both the Ivy Player and Rookie of the Week and now has 40 points (19 goals and 21 assists) in his first seven games. “They just struggled covering him one versus one. He took advantage of some matchups, made some really smart plays. He was able to finish shots that he created for himself and he was able to make other guys around him a heck of a lot better.” One of t he g uys who benefit ted from Sowers’ playmaking was senior cocaptain Gavin McBride, who tallied a career-high five goals against the Quakers. “Gavin is a really smart player; he is really consistent,” said Madalon of McBride, who now has 19 goals on the season, tying him with Sowers for the team lead. “He keeps doing a nice job. He does it every day in practice and we are really happy with how he is playing.” Madalon was happy with

the scoring balance the Tigers displayed as junior attackman Riley Thompson chipped in three goals and two assists while sophomore midfielder Charlie Durbin contributed two goals and and an assist. “It was nice; we got some good complementary scoring,” said Madalon. “Riley put in a couple; Durbin put a couple in. It is good any time you can give Austin Sims and Zach Currier a little bit of a breather and have some other guys step up. It is nice to spread it out.” It was nice for the Tigers to bounce back from the Rutgers setback with an impressive win in the league opener. “It was important for us because we take the motto

that it is important because it is the next one,” said Madalon. “It was great to start with an Ivy win but it is only one game and we were happy to rebound. It was a good performance for our guys. We were really happy with how they played.” The next one is big as Princeton hosts Yale (3-3 overall, 1-0 Ivy) on March 24. “It is a big test for us on Friday; Yale is a well coached team, they are well organized,” said Madalon. “Ben Reeves is a really special player for them. He is finding a groove right now. He star ted off the season a little slow. I think he has put up an average of six or seven points the last

three games so he is going to be a focus for us coming in. They are always a good program and they have been the team to beat in the Ivy the last couple of years so we hope to be ready for them.” In order to defeat the Bulldogs, Princeton will need to bring the focus it exhibited from the opening whistle against Penn. “It is just playing our game, making sure that we execute,” added Madalon. “We are struggling a little bit in the clear so we are going to try to make sure that will be buttoned up for the game. It is really just focusing on what we are doing offensively, defensively, and between the lines.” —Bill Alden

Nori struck out seven and walked three in her pitching gem. In other games at the event, Princeton fell 2-1 to UC Davis on Saturday before beating St. Mary’s 5-1 and falling 10-1 in five innings to UC Davis a day later. Princeton, now 3-5, is slated to play a doubleheader at St. Mary’s on March 22 and a doubleheader at San Jose State on March 23. ———

He played on a potent scoring line along with classmates Ryna Kuffner and Alex Riche that attributed for a third of Princeton’s points. Freshman forward Jackson Cressey was named to the All-ECACH AllRookie team. Cressey, who tallied 33 points and led the Tigers in assists with 26, was one of three finalists for the league’s Rookie of the year award. Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty was one of three finalists for the league’s Coach of the Year award, guiding the Tigers to a 15-16-3 record this winter, a vast improvement on the 5-23-3 mark posted in 2015-16.

For the Princeton High girls’ basketball team, defeating Princeton Day School in a Mercer County Tournament consolation game in the final week of the season reflected how much progress it had made this winter. A f ter losing 38 -32 to crosstown rival PDS in early January, PHS cruised to a 50-27 win in the rematch in late February. “That was great, thank god that came along,” said PHS first-year head coach

Steve Hennessy. “It was one of our best games after playing one of our worst games the first time. It was different, you can tell by the score.” While PHS ended the season by falling in the opening round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional tournament as the 15th-seeded Little Tigers lost 56-25 to second-seeded South Brunswick, Hennessy saw the defeat as a positive learning experience.

They had one girl who beat us up pretty good. I think that they enjoyed the experience. We played a lot of the young girls in that game at the end.” Despite posting a final record of 6-20, Hennessy believes the program laid the groundwork for a promising future by showcasing its group of sophomores. “As far as wins and losses, we did get seven wins the last couple of years and there was a lot of talk about us taking a step back with all of these young girls,” said Hennessy. “I think they kind of surprised us a little bit. I was happy with the way they played all year long. We had just a couple of games that just barely slipped by and we had some serious injuries.” Sophomore for wards Catherine Dyevich and Erin Devine emerged as key scoring threats for the Little Tigers this winter. “Dyevich had a terrific year; she improved over the year from just being an outside shooter in the beginning,” said Hennessy. “She lear ned to shoot quickly. She learned to take two dribbles inside the three point line and take that shot. She really learned to rebound. Devine learned to go to the basket. She really started going hard with really good balance, good moves, and good finishing.” The tandem of sophomore twins, Olivia and Anna Intartaglia, gave PHS some good work at guard. “They were definitely our backcourt,” said Hennessy. “Olivia is just a strong driver; she can really go to the basket. Anna is the ballhandler.” The squad’s quartet of seniors, Zoe Tesone, Jamaica Ponder, Sydney Dubin, and Ines Arroyo, each made a strong impact. “They all taught me something, this being my first year as a head coach,” said Hennessy. “I felt like each one of them was just phenomenal in their own way.” Hennessy is confident that juniors, Zoe Alcott and Taylor Stone, will follow that example. “ We a r e 10 0 p e r c e nt counting on Stone and Alcott to be a big part of our team next year,” said Hennessy. “I am sure they sat a little more than they wanted to but the way they kept it together and kept trying was just phenomenal. They are team players and sportsmanlike.” For Hennessy, taking the helm of the program proved to be a phenomenal experience. “It was different than all the other coaching I have done; not only is it the head coaching job but it is the girls’ basketball program,” said Hennessy. “You are so close to the court and so involved in the game. There is a lot more involved than just Xs and Os. I am just so thankful that these girls were as great as they were.” —Bill Alden

Using Hustle, Heart to Overcome Lack of Height, PDS Girls’ Basketball Made Progress This Winter A s t he P r inceton Day School girls’ basketball team entered the season, Kamau Bailey realized that scrappiness and heart needed to be the squad’s calling cards. “We knew we were going to be matched up against some taller teams and we decided to try to outhustle some of these girls and the girls did a really good job of that,” said PDS head coach Bailey, noting that he had no players taller than 5’9. “T hey played a lot of teams really hard and surprised some teams, really playing that hard. We came out on top a few times this year which was great.” While Bailey would have like to see his team come out on top more times as it went 8-17 this season, he believed the Panthers developed a special unity that bodes well for the future. “I am really happy with the outcome; I thought the girls were able to do a good job of building some chemistry,” said Bailey. “T hat was one of t he things that was important for us this year, just focusing on playing together a little more.” Senior guard and captain Shayla Stevenson helped to hold things together over her career, starting from day one as a freshman. “Shayla is irreplaceable for us,” said Bailey. “Since I took the job, she was someone I always had a lot of confidence in her ability to handle the ball, handle pressure, and to lead the team. She was a four-year captain.” Overcoming injury, the team’s other senior, Alexis Davis, made an important contribution this winter. “Alexis started out at the Hill tournament and did very well in the first couple of games and then she got a concussion,” said Bailey. “She had to sit out some games and once she was a cleared by the doctors and the trainers, she stepped right in. The first game back she grabbed 12 rebounds. She is always the first to the ball and she will get on the ground despite having ACL surgery.” Stepping up in her junior campaign, sharp-shooting guard Bridget Kane led the Panthers in scoring and three-pointers. “I am really excited about the work that Bridget Kane

did this year with her leadership,” said Bailey, noting that Kane’s father, Ron Kane, is the longtime head coach of the Lawrenceville S chool boys’ basketball team. “I think she is going to come back and have a great senior year. She made firstteam All-Prep B. She was great on the three-pointers. She was a vocal leader.” Ju nior Ryan Robinson made some noise this winter, emerging as the squad’s most versatile performer. “She had an amazing season; Bridget was our leading scorer and Ryan was our second leading scorer,” said Bailey. “She was first in just about every other category. She led in rebounds, blocked shots, and steals. She developed a nice three-point shot too. She took the ball to the basket strong; she is also someone who is really aggressive in getting after it on defense.” The Panthers also got aggressive play from junior forward Kate Bennett. “Kate is someone who also stepped up in terms of leading the team, both on the court and in the locker room,” said Bailey. “She is very competitive

and one of the most coachable girls I have had since I have taken this position. She is a great kid.” Another player who provided PDS with some competitive fire was sophomore guard Brooke Smukler. “Brooke gave us a lot of great offense, she is aggressive going to the basket, she takes it hard,” said Bailey. “She is also a really solid three-point shooter.” A solid group of freshmen gave the squad some depth. “We welcomed five freshmen this year,” said Bailey, whose corps of newcomers included Riley Felsher, Carly Kunkle, Megha Thomas, Maggie Amaral, and Audrey Liang. “Riley is very athletic; she threw some amazing passes this season. She is also a really good rebounder. She picks up stuff very well.” Bailey believes that PDS has what it takes to pick it up going forward. “I really am excited in terms of what I have coming back, some of the prospects that applied to the school, and some of the girls coming up through middle school,” said Bailey. “We need to spend some time in the offseason with instruction, summer leagues, and camps. I think we really have a shot at shaking some things up. I would really like to shoot for winning a state championship.” —Bill Alden

Jumping to 10 Wins After 1-22 Season in 2015-16, Hun Girls’ Hoops Displayed Upgraded Talent, Spirit Although the Hun School girls’ basketball team wasn’t in the running for a title at the end of the season, it culminated the winter with a memorable triumph. Playing at North Brunswick in its season finale, the

Raiders prevailed 58-52 to finish at 10-14, a marked improvement on the 1-22 record posted in 2015-16. “It was nice to end on such a positive note,” said Hun head coach Bill Holup, noting that the matchup was a

makeup game. “We were actually sluggish in the first half; it was 3030 at the half and we looked fairly tired out there. We had a terrific third quarter.” Coming off the nightmarish campaign last winter, the Raiders showed terrific progress this winter. “It turned out to be a real positive season even though we had a losing record,” said Holup. “We are still in the rebuilding stages and hopefully we will add a couple of more pieces next year.” One of the biggest positives for Hun this season was the play of sophomore transfer Jada Jones. “Jada is a scorer and has a scorer’s mentality and that is a player we haven’t had the past couple of years, somebody who would really take charge on the offensive end and try to make things happen,” said Holup of Jones, who averaged 20 points a game for the Raiders. “That is her mentality. She kept us in games because we had someone who we could get the ball to and had the ability to put it in the hole.” Freshman Alexis Harvell took charge in the paint at times this season. “She is very raw and is only a freshman and faced some tough competition this year,” said Holup of the 5’11 Harvell. “She had a real nice season and will get better as she continues to get more aggressive and improve her

skills. That was something we didn’t have the past couple of years, she gave us height, some size.” The aggression displayed by freshman Nicole Angelini and sophomore Leah Sutphen, who also star for the Hun girls’ soccer team, gave the Raiders a lift. “Nicole was a pleasant surprise; I was talking to Ms. Hallac (Hun girls’ soccer coach Joanna Hallac) in the beginning of the season and she was telling me on the soccer field, that Nicole is not big in stature but she gets knocked down and she is right back up,” said Holup. “She is very aggressive and is confident in herself and she did the same thing on the basketball court. For the second year in a row, Leah’s all-around hustle at both ends of the floor was terrific. Her aggressiveness and physicality out there is great. That effort is what you love as a coach.” Holup got a big effort from senior captain and guard Julie Fassl, a four-year varsity performer. “Julie had a great season this year; she was part of the program for the past four years,” said Holup of Fassl, who ended her career with a bang as she scored 14 points in the season finale. “Her all-around competitiveness and tenacity is similar to Leah Sutphen. She is at both ends of the floor; she is very aggressive and competitive. She will do anything the coach asks. You love that type of player out there. On top of that, she has a great personality.” While post-graduate guard Anna Maguire missed 11 games due to a knee injury, she made a major impact when she was on the court. “Anna handles the ball, she ran the offense for us,” said Holup. “She has a terrific scoring ability but she knows that she is playing point guard and she is looking to pass first. Sometimes I would get on her about not shooting enough and then she would certainly step it up. She is always looking out for the other players.” The team’s two other seniors, C.J. Mozeika and Mia Cura, stepped up in their final season with the program. “The improvement that C.J. had on both ends of the floor was terrific; I had a lot of confidence putting her in at times for defensive purposes for boxing out and rebounding,” said Holup. “When Alexis Harvell got in foul trouble, she was able to step right in and gave us some good quality minutes. Mia gives us that all-around scrappiness; certainly her outside shooting was terrific. She is not the biggest player out there but she is not afraid to mix it up with anybody. She left it all on the floor, diving for loose balls and doing everything to help the team win.” After seeing his team show so much improvement this winter, Holup is confident that the Raiders can keep going in the right direction. “We had 10 times as many wins as last year; I was very happy with how the season went,” said Holup. “On top of that, it was just a great group of kids. They were competitive, they were

just fun to be around. We are back in the upswing with the kids that we have coming back. Hopefully we will have a nice solid season next year and continue the momentum that we ended this season with.” —Bill Alden

David C. Scott died on March 18, 2017 at the age of 76 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was a third generation Princetonian: the son of Anne Clark Martindell, and the grandson of William Clark. David began school in Montreal, Canada. Later, he attended Miss Chapin’s School and Princeton Country Day School in Princeton, and Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts. He completed his bachelor’s degree in political science at Trinity College in Connecticut in 1962 where he was an enthusiastic rower on the crew team. David was a knowledgeable historian and patient teacher, and a master carpenter as demonstrated in the houses he renovated in Kristiansand, Norway and Princeton. He was a savvy trip planner and delightful travel companion, an avid reader of The New York Times and The Atlantic, and a generous benefactor to friends and family alike. He was a member of the Yale Club in New York City and Springdale Golf Club in Princeton. David began his career in the printing and publishing industry at Connecticut Printers in Hartford, Connecticut. He then worked in NYC for the next thirty five years at McGraw Hill, Rand McNally, Western Publishing Company where he was the Vice President of Sales, and Lanman Engraving Company. He particularly loved his work in the creative department of Lanman, producing the film that was used in the publications of the Smithsonian, National Geographic, and Time-Life Books. David’s greatest pride lay in the homes and gardens he created in Princeton and Norway and in his children, Christopher and Katharine. He would tell anyone who would listen about their accomplishments—that Christopher was following his lifelong passion as an animator in Canada, and Katharine was pursuing her Ph.D. in psychology with a focus on prejudice reduction starting in childhood at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. David is survived by “the love of his life” of 50 years, Randi Burlingham Scott, his son, Christopher, his daughter, Katharine, his sisters, Marjory Luther of Ann Arbor Michigan and Kippy Maitland-Smith of Alberta, Canada, and his brothers, George C. Scott of Rich-

Jane P. Poole Jane P. Poole, 89, wife, mother, grandmother and devoted friend, died peacefully in Scottsdale, AZ on January 12, 2017 with family members at her side. Jane lived a life filled with laughter, love and smiles. Indeed, her smile was her trademark, something she never lost even during her decade long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. A proud third generation Californian, Jane was born October 7, 1927 in Oxnard, CA to Abby Ly man and Howard Fay Pressey, a citrus rancher. Growing up on a ranch instilled in Jane a lifelong love for animals and nature. She graduated from Fillmore H.S. and attended Pomona College before leaving her beloved California to earn a Bachelor of Science in Retailing from Webber College in Florida. She returned to Los Angeles for a retail career, but soon was compelled by her adventurous spirit to move across the country with two friends to experience life in New York City. It was there she met her husband-to-be, Tom Poole. She loved to tell the story of how they met on a double-date, each set up with the other person, and how she was not initially impressed. But Tom soon won her heart with his quick wit and love of poetry. Jane and Tom raised their two daughters in Princeton, NJ, where for 54 years they created a loving, welcoming, home before retiring to Scottsdale in 2014. Jane’s real and abiding passions were her family and friends. She was the neighborhood mom; quick to offer a smile, a helping hand with a coat zipper, or even breakfast to the many kids who were always at their home. She worked in Financial Aid at Pr inceton Universit y for ten years ; was President of Chapter AE of PEO, an inter nat ional sis terhoo d dedicated to women’s education. She was particularly proud of her work with the adult literacy program at the Princeton Public Library. Jane is survived by her husband of 61 years, Thomas of Scottsdale, AZ; two daughters, Joanne Reese (Steve) of Scottsdale, Grace Ellen Benn (Alex) of Los Angeles; two granddaughters Abby Meredith Benn and Caroline Jane “CJ” Benn; two step-grandsons Steven Reese, Jr (Leah), and Matthew Reese (Sara) all of Tennessee; her brother Lyman Pressey (Carolyn), of Clovis,

MAXIMIZE YOUR HOME'S VALUE WITH THESE IMPROVEMENTS Getting ready to sell? Then you want to get the biggest bang for your remodeling buck. Here are 5 upgrades with a great ROI:

•

Update the front door. Not only does a new front door make your home more energyefficient (which buyers love), it also ramps up your curb appeal. Paint the exterior or install new siding. Not exactly cheap improvements, but they both yield excellent returns when selling. Why? It makes your home look more attractive and better cared for, and it also means buyers won’t have to worry about these jobs in the near future. Add a deck or patio. In NJ, there are three seasons that are ideal for outdoor entertaining. Adding an al fresco option is great for outdoor parties as well as families with teens and young kids. Upgrade the kitchen and bath. You don’t have to break the bank to make a big impact. Minor upgrades like replacing worn counters with stone or even high-end laminates, refacing cabinets and adding new fixtures can yield major returns. If the budget allows, consider updating old appliances to energy-efficient models. Revamp the garage. Adding a new, easy-to-operate garage door, resurfacing the floor and installing plenty of shelving (and maybe a workbench) are low-cost upgrades sure to attract more buyers.
