Installation Exploring Mixed Wilson Legacy Has Been Completed Double Sights, a large installation presenting both positive and negative views of Woodrow Wilson, has been completed on Scudder Plaza next to the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Washington Road. Almost four years after the 33-hour occupation of Nassau Hall by Black Justice League students and their supporters in protest against the University’s representations of Woodrow Wilson’s legacy on campus, Princeton University is marking its ongoing progress in confronting a past that includes deplorable as well as admirable chapters. A public discussion, titled “Woodrow Wilson’s Legacy: Wrestling with History,” with the installation’s designer, artist and 2019 MacArthur Fellowship winner Walter Hood, and University Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity Michele Minter, will take place this Saturday, October 5 at 3:15 p.m. in McCosh Hall 50, followed by a formal dedication of the work. In 2015, in response to widespread concerns over racist actions by Wilson, who was the University’s 13th president, New Jersey’s 34th governor, and the 28th president of the United States, the University established a trustee committee to make recommendations about how Wilson’s legacy on campus should be commemorated. The installation of a “permanent marker” at the Woodrow Wilson School that “educates the campus community and others about the positive and negative dimensions of Wilson’s legacy” was one of the recommendations of the Wilson Legacy Review Committee. Double Sights, 39 feet high with two columns leaning against each other and etched with quotations representing both good and bad aspects of the Wilson legacy, is designed to achieve that goal. Quotes on the outside of both columns present Wilson’s views on a variety of subjects, and at the sculpture’s center is a glass surface with images of Wilson’s contemporaries who were critical of his views, particularly about race and gender. The other side includes quotes by these critics about some of Wilson’s negative actions. “Powerful words force us not to choose sides but to try to understand,” said Hood in an April 4 talk on campus. “We are Continued on Page 4

BOE Votes 6-3 to Hire Planning Firm At a four-hour meeting last week, the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) voted 6-3 to approve the hiring of the educational consulting firm Milone & Macbroom (M&M) to help develop a plan to address the challenges of growth and overcrowding. Based in Cheshire, Connecticut, M&M specializes in working with school districts on short- and long-term planning and has been cited by BOE members and others as being especially effective in engaging the whole community in the planning process. They will work with the district to develop a plan over the next seven months at a total cost not to exceed $143, 605. BOE President Beth Behrend praised the BOE decision, citing the need for experienced assistance with the complex planning challenges ahead. “I’m excited to have this resource in place to assist the district in dealing with the growth issue,” she said. Recalling extensive controversy over last year’s facilities referendum, which was eventually scaled down and approved in December 2018, Behrend continued, “Last year the community spoke loud and clear is saying that we need to validate our claims and get the community involved. M&M will help us do that. They will help

us in collaborating so that we plan in a way that’s forward-looking and sensible and within the means of the community.” She went on to point out the urgency of the situation, noting that “overcrowding is impacting the education programming already. We’re trying to be proactive.” BOE Disagreement

BOE members Debbie Bronfeld, Daniel Dart, and Bill Hare, along with some supporters among speakers from the public, expressed concerns about the expense and the timing of hiring a planning firm. “Why are we rushing into this?” Bronfeld asked, urging that the district slow

down and focus on more immediate issues, including careful use of the current $27M facilities referendum funds. Dart also warned against a distraction from working on the current referendum, recommending a focus on immediate priorities and establishing more clear parameters for the planning. He questioned the BOE’s demographic figures and growth projections, calling for the proposal to hire a planning consultant to be deferred for a year to the 2020-21 budget cycle. Hare joined Bronfeld and Dart in Continued on Page 8

Restoration is On Track For Wars Memorial Bench

Back in 1925, public donations initiated the installation of the Princeton Wars Memorial Bench that sits in the small park at the intersection of Nassau and Mercer Streets. Nearly a century later, a new round of donations, this time from The Garden Club of Princeton, the Princeton Daughters of the American Revolution, and Princeton University, is funding some needed repair and restoration of the local landmark.

Members of the organizations presented checks totaling $29,200 — $24,200 from the two clubs, and $5,000 from the University — to Princeton Council at a meeting of the governing body on September 23. “It is fitting that restoration of the monument is to be funded by a similar community collaboration,” said Rosemary Kelley, first vice regent of The Garden Club of Princeton, upon presentation of Continued on Page 11

“

As a trainee at American Repertory Ballet/Princeton Ballet School, dancing is my passion and my art. As a dancer, I am constantly striving to optimize my physical technique and artistic expression, which places extreme demands on my body every day. There is nothing more important to me than pursuing optimal health and maintaining my musculoskeletal strength and flexibility. To that purpose, I am happy and grateful to put my trust in the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center. All dancers eventually get injuries but Dr. Bracilovic and her colleagues have kept me strong and dancing. I am able to perform on stage and follow my dreams. I am comforted in the knowledge that if I need help with achieving my goals, the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center are here for me.

The U.K. sojourns are designed, in part, to expose members of the choir to their roots. “I use contacts of places I think are interesting,” said Whittemore. “You can go back to the early church, and that’s where a lot of the great music was developed, even from preRenaissance to the Victorian era. If you went through choirs, you were educated and had opportunities you The next tour is scheduled would not otherwise have for the summer of 2021.

(Downton Abbey fans may recall the town of Ripon being mentioned occasionally on the television series.) So it makes sense that Trinity is starting its year of fundraising for the trip with a traditionally English afternoon tea. The public is invited to the event at the church on Mercer Street on Sunday, October 6 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. After all of the sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, and savories have been consumed, the choir will perform a Choral Evensong. Admission is $35. “The music program at Trinity is one of the most popular and important parts of the whole parish,” said Tom Whittemore, Trinity’s director of music. “It’s demanding. It just kind of calls out parts for the kids and adults that they would not normally think they were capable of doing. I love that it really gives kids an opportunity to sing at an adult level. Kids are unmolded clay, so you don’t have to chip away at any bad habits.” Trinity’s is one of about a dozen Episcopal or Anglican church music programs in the United States based on the English cathedral choir model, according to Whittemore, who has been with the church for the past 15 years. “It is very high-end in terms of training. The kids are here twice a week and on Sundays,” he said. “They are treated as adults in rehearsal, as absolute equals — with the knowledge that we know they’re not.”

It really sort of plumbs the depths.” This time next year, Whittemore hopes to be buying airline tickets and making final arrangements for the 2021 tour.

After a five-year-long review of its collection of more than 3,000 objects, the Historical Society of Princeton will be selling over 400 deaccessioned items in a Live Auction on Friday, October 4, followed by a tag sale on October 5. Rago Auctions will sponsor the event and David Rago, founder of Rago Auctions and appraiser for Antiques Roadshow, will emcee. The auction takes place in the Wojciechowicz Barn at Updike Farmstead. A preview will be held Thursday, October 3 from 2-7 p.m. The auction on Friday is from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (doors open at 4 p.m.), while the tag sale on Saturday is from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The items to be auctioned include fine and decorative arts, ceramics and pottery, antique and period furniture, toys and dolls, medical instruments, assorted household items, and more. Absentee bids will be accepted online through 32auctions.com until the day of the sale. All items to be auctioned were studied in an intensive five-year-long collections planning and review process that began in 2014, one of HSP’s periodic reviews of its holdings, per field-wide best practices. This review follows other similar projects in 1978, 1997, and 2004. As part of this process, HSP reunited objects with records, improved information in its collections database, repackaged holdings according to conservation standards, researched objects to confirm their provenance, and identified 487 items that do not support HSP’s mission, largely because they lacked sufficient connections to Princeton history. These items were approved for deaccession by HSP’s board of trustees on August 26. Each item was reviewed three times in the last three years. HSP has retained the majority of its important collection. Consistent with established best practices, deaccessioned objects deemed suitable have been offered to other cultural institutions. Some will be retained at HSP as handling objects to be used for educational programs. Others will be sold at the public auction on October 4. Per fieldwide ethical practices, all proceeds generated by the auction sale will be restricted for the direct care of HSP’s important remaining collections.

I never gave much thought to the benefits of having EMTs nearby until my family needed them. In February 2017 during a Princeton High School basketball game, my son Vincent stumbled out of the locker room hunched over and disoriented. No one could figure out what had happened. Officials called 911 and within three minutes, the first aid squad arrived. A crowd had gathered and the scene was chaotic. Squad members took charge and rushed Vincent to the hospital and within hours, he was in surgery. Vincent had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke! After a lengthy recovery, Vincent is enjoying senior year at PHS and thrilled to be back on the basketball court. I pass by the first aid squad building almost every day. Little did I realize that there are capable EMTs in there on call 24/7. My precious son is with me today because of the skilled care and rapid response of everyone involved, starting with the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad.

BOE Votes continued from page one

suggesting a slowing down of the process with consideration of hiring a planning consultant “maybe six months from now.” “We’re fortunate in this town to have people with strong convictions,” Behrend observed. “Unanimity is overrated. Even those who voted ‘no’ understand the need for this planning. It was a question of timing and cost, but we all understand the need.” Board member Brian McDonald emphasi zed t he urgency of that need. Describing a visit to Littlebrook Elementary School, which is currently 61 students over capacity and suffering the effects of overcrowding, McDonald said, “I don’t think we can wait. I don’t think we can be responsible and do our duty and kick this can down the road.” Praising M&M’s emphasis on community engagement, McDonald continued, “I think this is an incredibly cost-effective investment. We have to get started now. It would be irresponsible of us not to move forward with this.” BOE Vice President Greg Stankiewicz concurred with McDonald, adding, “We need to figure it out together, and this is our opportunity to do just that. The time to act is upon us. I can’t in good conscience say let’s put it off one more year. This firm is the way to bring us all together and think about these challenges together.” BOE member Michele TuckPonder, who frequently questioned and argued against BOE referendum proposals

last year, applauded the BOE for laying the groundwork to develop a sound plan. “I don’t like spending $140,000 either, but I’d rather do that than make a $130M mistake,” she said. She continued, “I don’t think we benefit by waiting,” and she went on to emphasize the importance of working with M&M to involve as many local residents as possible. “I want to be sure that all voices in this town are heard. All those voices are not in this room, but this company assured me that they would reach into every neighborhood, every demographic of this town, and hear those voices.” Cochrane’s Proposal In presenting his initial recommendation to the BOE to retain M&M “to assist us in gathering the data, engaging the community, and developing the scenarios that will position us to make the very best, most fiscally sound decisions about our schools,” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane highlighted four crucial issues in planning for more than 400 additional students over the next 10 years in schools that are already over capacity. He pointed out the probable

need for redistricting to address uneven housing development in elementary areas and also “longstanding racial and economic imbalances”; the need for facility expansion, possibly meaning additions at various schools, new schools, or both, with significant impact on taxes; the consideration of land acquisition and/or sale, raising “huge questions, the answers to which will affect the landscape in Princeton forever”; and the necessity of planning in collaboration with the municipality and other public and private partners. Cochrane noted that the BOE had enlisted a team of community experts who have been assisting them in the planning process, but he said that those experts unanimously advised the hiring of a professional planning firm. “They felt the task was too complex and too important not to have the expertise of a professional planner,” he said. “The cost of a planner is a responsible investment and one we can afford,” Cochrane concluded. “It is an investment in making the right decisions on behalf of our kids and on behalf of our community.” —Donald Gilpin

“Raising Backyard Chickens” — for Health, Happiness, the Environment, and the Eggs Karen Zemble embarked on her personal journey of backyard chicken raising when she needed a creative solution to the problem of ticks and her small children, who wanted to play outdoors. She noted that half her friends warned, “You’ll have to spray or they’ll get Lyme disease,” and the other half warned, “You’ll kill your kids if you spray insecticide.” That’s when she brought in a handful of chickens, “and they ate the ticks,” she said. “This year we pulled no ticks off my kids.” And the benefits proliferated. “We got them just to be bug eaters,” she said, “but it turns out we love them for so many other reasons. I talk to my chickens, and they all have different personalities. They’re so cute. You can train them, and they provide us with eggs. We have fresh, wonderful eggs every day.” A member of the Princeton Environmental Commission (PEC) and chair of the governance committee of the Friends of the Princeton

Public Library (PPL), Zemble will be one of the speakers at “Raising Backyard Chickens,” an information session sponsored by the PPL and the PEC, Saturday, October 5 at 10:30 a.m. in the Community Room of the PPL. She will be joined by other poultry-raising Princeton residents, local farmers, an owner of therapy hens, other chicken enthusiasts, and live chickens.

backyard chickens, plans to discuss the amount of food waste her chickens consume, providing her a solution to the composting challenge in Princeton. She will also talk about night-time predators in Princeton. Cook, former restaurant critic for The New York Times and founder of the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative, will talk about sustainable management of food and food waste, food hierarchy, and her greater connection with the land since she started raising chickens. She will also tell stories about how she gives her hens manicures. Kinsel, who as an organic farmer explores how people interact with the natural world in their most fundamental relationship, through food and its source, will be talking about supporting backyard flocks for family health and their positive carbon footprint. Baile will actually bring a therapy hen or two with their diapers into the Community Room — the other chickens will remain outside in Hinds Plaza — and will explain the many benefits of therapy hens. She takes her hens to nursing homes, schools, libraries, farmers markets, and to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University on Opening Doors to Autism Day. S o p h i e G l o v i e r, P E C chair and author of Walk the Trails In and Around Princeton, will moderate the session, which will conclude

with questions and chicken stories from the audience. The impetus for Saturday’s event originated about a year ago, according to Zemble, when a group of loving hen owners, working through the PEC, advanced a resolution in support of Princeton residents who keep hens and other hen-laying poultry in their backyards for personal egg production. As part of the resolution, the PEC resolved to support an education campaign for the public, which will continue with Saturday’s forum.

Zemble, whose chickens in the past have been named Miss Congeniality in a poultry contest and Princeton Patch’s Pet of the Week, pointed out that chickens can’t be raised in the home. Owners need to have an enclosed backyard. But she added that chickens are very easy to take care of. The municipality is currently working to harmonize the zoning ordinances of the former Princeton Borough and Township to address the issue of backyard poultry uniformly. The zoning

ordinances of the former Princeton Township address commercial farming, and the ordinances of the former Princeton Borough address domestic animals, but neither defines the practice of keeping backyard poultry. A task force has been meeting and working on a draft ordinance, the specifics of which will be presented to the public at a meeting of the PEC on October 23. “Hug a chicken,” Zemble advised. “It makes you feel better.” —Donald Gilpin

B e for e t h e b e g i n n i n g of an ongoing restoration project, a one-acre portion of Hopewell Borough Park was covered with invasive Japanese honeysuckle and autumn olive. These two varieties had been doing what they are known for: spreading quickly and overrunning any other plantings in their path. Thanks to a partnership between the Sourland Conservancy, Mercer County Park Commission, and the D&R Greenway, this corner of the park is being transformed into a spot where native plantings — most of them edible — will thrive. The Foraging Forest project is a combination of habitat restoration and community engagement, designed to encourage members of the public to take what they learn and apply it to their own surroundings. “An important part of creating a passion for the environment is to get people involved,” said Carolyn Klaube, Sourland Conservancy’s stewardship program coordinator. “That was part of the reasoning. We wanted to create a project where people could come in, learn, and implement that at home.” S ome 60 nat ive plant species are being installed in the park. The public is invited to help with site preparation on October 16, 18, and 19 at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Klaube expects about half of the plants to be in the ground by the end of the weekend. “Once the forest is going, we will still invite people to come out and experience it,” she said. “In the beginning it will be at specific times rather than round the clock, because it will take a while for things to establish. But being part of the project at any time is going to be a great experience, not just for people interested in ecology, but also for kids, too.” The one-acre site is fenced in to keep away hungry deer. A serenity corner with a bench will be dedicated to Simcha Rudolph (the Simcha Rudolph Char itable Trust is listed as the funder). Another important aspect of the project is to install plants that attract pollinators. The list includes not just bees but also f lies, moths, butterflies, and even hummingbirds. “You can’t have food without insects,”

said Klaube. “People will learn about native edible plants and the critical interactions between plants and pollinators, and also permaculture, which is another form of agriculture. When plants are staying there, it increases soil stabilization, reduces erosion, and you don’t need to fertilize them. When you’re not disturbing the soil every year, nutrients stay in the soil.” The Foraging Forest project began with removal of the invasive species, in order to give native plants a chance to become established and then thrive. There will be continued intermittent treatments to remove invasive plants during the restoration project. Next came mowing and fencing, and preparing the site. Following that, Klaube and Jared Rosenbaum of Wild Ridge Plants conducted a plant survey to see what species were coming up after the first phase of invasive removal. The final phase will be to maintain the forest until the plantings are established. “Restoration projects are often thought of as being important only for plants and animals, but we don’t usually include humans as those who benefit from doing restoration projects,” notes the Sourland Conser vancy website. “They are important for everyone. Areas that are restored are beneficial for all beings that live on this land, from pollinators, soil microbes, birds, and humans.” The list of plants being installed in the forest includes wild garlic, nodding onion, wild leek, three varieties of serviceberry, and hog peanut. The Conservancy’s spring intern, Keana Welen, wrote a cookbook about cooking with native edible plants as her capstone project. “She researched recipes, spoke with foragers, and tested the recipes in order to create a true forest-to-fork cookbook,” according to the Conservancy website. Klaube is hoping the Foraging Forest will inspire similar enthusiasm in others. “We want to encourage people to plant native plants, especially those that are edible,” she said. “This is a great project for people to learn and get involved.” —Anne Levin

Memorial Bench continued from page one

the checks. Earlier in the day, Mayor Liz Lempert praised the restoration project, which will include the bench and steps. “This is a very visible entryway into the central business district, so we want to make sure it lasts,” she said. The funds will go to longterm improvements, beautification, and maintenance of the bench, which was built in tribute to residents killed in combat during World War I. The park continues today as recognition to those killed in later wars, and is regularly the focus of Memorial Day activities. The classical stone bench was designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett, a New York architect who was on the advisory board for the University’s School of Architecture. Corbett was reported to have been inspired by ancient Greek examples. When the memorial was completed in 1925, Art and Archaeology magazine described it as “an exquisitely

designed exedra, carefully proportioned to the little park. With its simple inscription, ‘Hold dear our sons and daughters who gave their lives for freedom in the World War,’ it very touchingly does its work of commemoration. It is a model of what a simple memorial should be.” Andrew Fleming West, first dean of the Princeton University Graduate School, wrote the inscription, according to research done by The Garden Club five years ago. Early contributors to the project included such prominent names as Mrs. Moses Taylor Pyne, Allan Marquand, Bayard Stockton, Gerard Lambert, and Mrs. Thomas Jex Preston Jr., the widow of President Grover Cleveland. Moses Taylor Pyne donated several properties and the Nassau Club contributed a small piece of ground. Princeton’s Historical Commission assisted in assessing the work that is needed. The repairs are targeted to begin this month, in hopes that the monument can be restored in time for Veterans Day, November 11. —Anne Levin

Police Blotter On September 28, the victims’ mother reported that, on September 24 at 4:30 p.m. and September 27 at 5 p.m., her juvenile daughters were walking on the 300 block of Witherspoon St reet when a s t ranger asked them for their names and offered them a ride home in his truck. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male, 35-40 years old with short black hair, a black mustache, dark skin, and slightly heav y build, with a Mexican accent. The vehicle was described as a newer model black full-size extended cab pickup truck, unknown make and model. Anyone who may see the individual or vehicle is asked to contact the Princeton Police Department at (609) 921-2100. On September 27, at 3:55 p.m., an unknow n actor posed as an employee of a loan ser vicing company, and, through a financial

scam, coerced a resident of South Stanworth Drive to pay $900 in Walmart gift cards over the phone. On September 25, a resident of Clearview Avenue reported that, between September 23 and 24, someone caused damage to their window in an attempt to make unlawful entry. On September 25, at 9:40 p.m., a resident of Westcott Road reported that, between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m., someone made entry into their home and s tole s everal pieces of jewelry. O n S epte mb er 24, at 11:28 a.m., a 31-year-old female f rom Manalapan was charged with DWI, subsequent to a two-car motor vehicle accident on State Road. On September 24, at 4:27 p.m., a resident of Library Place repor ted that, between September 11 and 12, someone stole a large amount of jewelry from the residence. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

Climate Legislation is Urgently Needed to Stop Global Warming

To the Editor: Climate demonstrations like the Hinds Plaza gathering in Princeton may help prod our government to take action against global warming, but it’s going to take concerted follow up by all citizens to ensure that the U.S. moves away from fossil fuels in time to prevent irreparable harm to our Earth. We have no time to wait before we pick up our phones, pens, and computers and remind our elected representatives that 70 percent of their constituents want action now. We can even suggest a great place to begin — placing a steadily increasing fee on all oil and gas extracted from ground in the U.S. or imported into the country. Rising costs of fossil fuels will impel all sectors of the economy to develop new and cheaper sources of energy, and the fee revenues can be returned to consumers to make up for short-term price increases. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act–HR673 embodies this approach and needs House of Representatives consideration. Rep. Bonnie Watson-Coleman is a co-sponsor, and with our thanks and encouragement she can help move the bill towards a vote. Combining government policy and free market entrepreneurship has brought the U.S. economic and social progress. Let’s put it to work to stop global warming now. BETTY WOLFE Hawthorne Avenue

Thanking Sponsors, Ticketholders For Help With Petey Greene Fundraiser

To the Editor: On behalf of The Petey Greene Program, we would like to thank all the many sponsors and ticketholders who helped to make our first public fundraiser on September 26 a success! The evening’s guest speakers were Princeton native and Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle and Roger Durling, ED of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Peddie School trustee. Both speakers praised Princeton as a community that allowed for ‘big ideas’ and then supported those ideas with philanthropic support. The Petey Greene Program is one such ‘big idea,’ a nonprofit established by Princeton alumni in 2008 that trains university students to tutor incarcerated students in weekly one-on-one sessions. This academic enrichment greatly improves the odds for incarcerated students and at the same time awakens university students to the injustices of mass incarceration in America. There are now Petey Greene Programs in 30 colleges and universities from D.C. to Boston, which will deploy as many as 1,200 tutors to work with incarcerated students this academic year. More than 2,500 students will benefit. The growth of this invaluable program would never have been possible without the support of the greater Princeton community. We thank our guest speakers, everyone who attended last Thursday’s event, and those who have given time and financial support to Petey Greene over the past 11 years.

Candidates Sacks and Lambros Have a Vision for Princeton

To the Editor: Vote-by-mail ballots arrived in Princeton mailboxes last week. In Column A of the ballot, voters will find highly competent and concerned Democratic candidates, including Mia Sacks and Michelle Pirone Lambros for Princeton Council. Mia and Michelle, who are ready to take on the responsibilities of Council members, have made public service a priority. Each has a vision for Princeton that includes sustainability, affordability, and socioeconomic diversity, as well as a robust and thriving local business community. Currently a member of the Princeton Planning Board and its Master Plan subcommittee, Mia has served on the Princeton Environmental Commission, on Princeton’s Bicycle Advisory Committee, and on the Complete Streets Traffic Calming Committee. In addition, she serves on the board of Sustainable Princeton, the Resiliency Working Group for Princeton’s Climate Action Plan, and Princeton’s Municipal Green Team. Before returning to her hometown, Mia worked for several decades in New York and around the world in public health and human rights for Human Rights Watch, the Open Society Institute, and the ACLU. Michelle is a member of Princeton’s Zoning Board of Adjustment as well as the Economic Development Committee. Born in Princeton, she worked on Capitol Hill for Democratic Congressman John Murtha of Pennsylvania before living and working abroad. She has built multiple small businesses all over the world, launched new products overseas, and collaborated with governments and private sector entities across the globe. Upon settling back in Princeton, Michelle became active in local organizations and has served on the Board of the Princeton Merchants Association. She is also active with the Greater Princeton Chamber of Commerce and the Arts Council of Princeton. Both Mia and Michelle deserve your vote for the two openings on Princeton Council. To make sure your vote counts, return your mail-in ballot as soon as possible. Please be aware that vote-by-mail ballots come in a large white envelope marked OFFICIAL MAIL-IN BALLOT. They have been sent to every voter who requested a mail-in ballot in 2016 or later. If you did receive a mail-in ballot, you will not be able to cast a vote on a machine at your polling place, although you will be able to cast a paper provisional ballot. If you are not sure whether you received a mail-in ballot, or if you think you inadvertently threw it out, you may call the office of Paula Sollami-Covello, our tireless Mercer County Clerk, to find out if you are on the vote-by-mail list. The numbers are (609) 989-6495 or (609) 989-6494. Tuesday, November 5, is Election Day. I urge all of you who did not receive vote-by-mail ballots to go to the polls and cast your votes for the committed and highly qualified candidates in Column A. Last year, a Blue Wave changed the course of Congress. Let us continue the momentum this year at the local, county, state, and national levels so that we are prepared to elect a Democratic president next year. SCOTIA W. MACRAE Chair, Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee Evelyn Place

We hope to then discuss with the public some possible solutions (traffic calming measures) that we can take to address the issue of speeding. We intend this process to be a data-driven, so that streets that have objectively the greatest problems with speeding will be addressed first in any plan that we develop. We hope that you can join us on October 21; if you can’t attend but have input on this topic, please contact us and we will endeavor to include your perspective in our discussion.

Dafna Kendal Devises Creative Solutions to Budgetary Challenges

To the Editor: I am writing to support Dafna Kendal’s candidacy for the Board of Education. I’ve known Dafna since our children started kindergarten together at Littlebrook Elementary School in the fall of 2012. I’ve long been impressed by Dafna’s commitment to the education and wellbeing of all of Princeton’s students; by her ingenuity in devising creative solutions to budgetary challenges; by her deep respect for our district’s teachers; and by her dedication to open, transparent communications with all town residents. Dafna’s many achievements since she was first elected to the Board demonstrate the tenacity and vigor with which she approaches her role as a steward of our schools. Aware of the fiscal constraints facing our district, for instance, she established in 2018 an ad hoc Board committee on alternative revenue sources that secured approximately $800,000 in voluntary payments from the Institute for Advanced Study and the Princeton Theological Seminary, among others. A lawyer by training, Dafna discovered last year that the Cranbury Board of Education was not meeting its contractual obligation to fully compensate Princeton for special education services; as a result, our district will bill for the additional $150,000 for the 2019-20 school year. As an advocate of equity for all students, Dafna ensured that special education issues were added to teachers’ professional development topics; revised the district’s dress code to remove a prohibition on head scarves; and lobbied for aggressive recruitment efforts at HBCU [historically black colleges and universities], resulting in a marked increase in the hiring of teachers of color. Alert to the importance of Board transparency and community engagement, Dafna added opportunities for public comment at Board meetings and introduced the practice of emailing summaries of monthly Board meetings to all district parents and staff. And as someone both deeply aware of the extraordinary contributions of the district’s teachers and committed to safeguarding the district’s financial resources, Dafna skillfully led negotiations to extend all three labor union contracts through 2020, turning what could have been an acrimonious, costly, and time-consuming ordeal into a mutually satisfactory process. Dafna is, in short, the full package. As her impressive list of accomplishments demonstrates, she has the skills, the experience, and the zeal to be a highly effective Board member. Just as important, she’s running for the Board for all the right reasons: to build on our district’s outstanding record; to be a prudent steward of one of our town’s most valuable resources; and to ensure that the education and wellbeing of our students continues to be our district’s number one priority. I enthusiastically support Dafna’s Board candidacy and I encourage my fellow Princeton residents to do the same.

Reasons Given for Special Council Meeting on Speeding

To the Editor: We are writing to strongly support Greg Stankiewicz’s re-election to the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. We’ve gotten to know Greg over the past few years and have found him to be a humble, fair, and compassionate steward of our schools. His first term started just as our children entered kindergarten together at Community Park School and we began paying much closer attention to the Board’s work — especially the challenges our district faces as a result of an increasing student population and aging facilities. Greg has dedicated thousands of hours of volunteer time to his work on the Board, bringing his integrity, intelligence, and a commitment to equity to everything he has done. Whenever we came to him with a question or concern, we knew we could trust that he had the best interests of all of our children at heart. We want to highlight three of the many initiatives that have benefited from Greg’s time and expertise: Greg joined the School Board Facilities Committee in January 2019 and became chair. In that role, he is helping to oversee the $26.9 million referendum. To increase transparency and public participation, Greg instituted biweekly public meetings and provided regular updates to the full Board and community. The first three projects of the referendum were implemented this summer: installing air conditioning at the high school gym; upgrading the electrical systems in all the elementary schools; and installing new HVAC units at Riverside Elementary School. Greg encouraged the district to join the Garden State Coalition, a statewide public education advocacy organization, and then worked with them and other organizations to spearhead state-level policy changes that benefit Princeton. Most recently, this included convincing the Legislature to provide a one-year increase in the State’s reimbursement for past extraordinary Special Education costs that resulted in an additional $1.7 million in aid for Princeton. This funding came after the deadline for the district to submit its 2019-20 budget, but will be critical in helping replenish some of our depleted reserves. Greg encouraged and helped facilitate Princeton’s successful efforts to join Rutgers University’s Labor Management Collaborative, an innovative effort of more than 35 New Jersey districts that are establishing formal partnerships between district administrations and their unions. Districts undertaking such collaborations have stronger levels of student achievement, greater levels of innovation, and enhanced communication between teachers and administrators, resulting in stronger and more innovative districts. We are supporting Greg not only for his many accomplishments in his first term, but because he is a good person, a highly effective collaborator, and a fiscally prudent financial manager. There are many challenges facing our schools in the next few years, and Greg’s calm and intelligent voice of reason, focus on transparency and community participation, and advocacy on behalf of every student needs to be at the table to address them.

Books C.K. Williams Reading Series Hosts Zapruder, Three Seniors

Poet, editor, and translator Matthew Zapruder will read from his work at 6:30 p.m. on October 4, at Princeton University’s Lewis Arts complex Forum. Joining him will be Sarah Barnette, David Babikian, and Kevin Zou — three seniors in Princeton’s Program in Creative Writing who will be reading from their recent work. This event opens the 201920 C.K. Williams Reading Series, named after the late Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning poet C.K. Williams, who also served on Princeton’s faculty for 20 years. The event, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing, is free and open to the public. The series showcases senior thesis students of the Program in Creative Writing alongside established writers as special guests. The Program is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year with readings by 80 writers, including those

in the C.K. Williams Series.

Zapruder’s work has won a number of awards including a 2011 Guggenheim Fellowship, a Lannan Foundation Residency Fellowship in Marfa, Texas, and the May Sarton prize from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is an associate professor at Saint Mary’s College of California and editor at large for Wave Books, a company he cofounded. He also plays lead guitar in a rock band called The Figments.

“Converts to the Real” Discussed October 3

Matthew Zapruder Matthew Zapruder’s poetry collections include Sun Bear (2014), Come On All You Ghosts (2010), The Pajamaist (2006), American Linden (2002), and Why Poetry, which has been called “a roaring success” by the New York Times Book Review. His most recent collection, Father’s Day, was published in early September by Copper Canyon Press.

Edward Baring, Russ Leo, and Gayle Salomon will be talking about Baring’s new book, Converts to the Real: Catholicism and the Making of Continental Philosophy (Harvard Univ. Press) at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, October 3 at 6 p.m. This event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council According to Choice, Converts to the Real is “a major contribution to the history of European philosophy in the 20th century, and of phenomenology more particularly.” Placing phenomenology in historical context, Baring reveals the enduring influence of Catholicism in

20th-centur y intellectual thought. From existentialism, through the phenomenology of Paul Ricoeur and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, to the speculative realism of the present, European thought bears the mark of Catholicism, the original continental philosophy. Edward Baring is associate professor of Modern European History at Drew University and was a Guggenheim Fellow. He is author of The Young Derrida and French Philosophy, 1945-1968. Russ Leo is the author of Tragedy as Philosophy in Reformation Europe and is currently at work on a book, tentatively titled Milton, Spinoza, and the Genres of Enlightenment. He is professor of English at Princeton University. Gayle Salomon is professor of English and the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality and of The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia.

Adam Bierman Supporter Wants Live Audience at Oct. 22 Debate

To the Editor: I am writing this letter in support of Adam Bierman for Princeton Council and to report what I feel is the political chicanery that is depriving all of us voters, and Adam, of a transparent and open candidate’s debate. Let me put this in context. Local Princeton elections have a proud history of having town hall type debates. These forums are a chance for the community to get together and discuss significant issues with their local candidates. They allow the aspiring contenders to gain insight, understanding and appreciation for their constituents’ concerns. It is also a two-way dialogue where the candidates are tested for their speaking style, command of the issues, and grace under pressure when potentially unexpected questions are thrown their way. There is no substitute for this face-to-face dialogue. It is real engagement; one cannot hide with a stale canned speech. In this isolating and digital age, meeting face-to-face is more important than ever to get the community pulse on issues that truly matter to people, like our tax rates, affordable housing, or how much the latest corruption/public health scandal at the River Road facility is going to cost taxpayers. Unfortunately, the October 22 Princeton Council forum will not continue the open, transparent tradition. Due to logistical issues, it will be held in the tiny Princeton TV studio with no live audience. The losers will be openness and transparency for the citizenry. Adam’s opponents, I have heard, were too busy to set a date for the event earlier. When they finally did set a date, no large venues were available. Could this have been a premeditated political calculation? Here’s a thought, does anyone else have a venue they want to offer for a robust, audience-filled debate? P.S. I would like to thank Chrystal Schivell and the League of Women Voters for their support of our democratic ideals and the tenacity in finally being able to get this forum scheduled even without the voters.

BOOK REVIEW

Poetry Is Everywhere: Looking and Listening With Wallace Stevens on His Birthday Poetry does not only mean verse; in a way it means painting, it means the theatre and all the rest of it. —Wallace Stevens (1879-1955), from a 1935 letter oetry landed in our mailbox this week spelled out in big capital letters on the cover of a midwinter 2019 fashion catalogue offering “a relaxed and understated collection” that combines “the beauty of natural fabrics with sculptural silhouettes and elegant design details.” Among the dozens of catalogues that follow my wife through the seasons, this one always gets my attention because, if nothing else, it acknowledges the powerful appeal of poetry as a phenomenon “that does not only mean verse.” Although what Stevens intends by “all the rest of it” may not include the images in a fashion catalogue, there’s no denying the prevalence of colors and patterns in his work, nor the abstracted expressions on the faces of models who seem to be listening to something interesting that they don’t quite understand, which makes sense if the something is, well, why not poetry? And given the elegantly understated apparel they’re presenting, why not take the notion to the limit and imagine that the photographer putting them through their paces has someone offstage reading passages from the poet who was born on this date 140 years ago? Consider, for example, the barefoot brunette modeling a pair of dark blue silk satin pajamas who seems to be smiling in spite of herself, as if a particular line had caught her by surprise. She might be responding to “Disillusionment of Ten O’Clock” with its “white night-gowns” of which “None are green,/Or purple with green rings,/ Or green with yellow rings,/Or yellow with blue rings.” And what starts her smiling could be the sudden unlikely appearance of “baboons and periwinkles” and the “old sailor” who “catches tigers/In red weather.” Or maybe it’s the woman in “Sunday Morning,” with her “Complacencies of the peignor,” “oranges in a sunny chair,/And the green freedom of a cockatoo.” What has me smiling at the moment, however, is the thought of Elsie, the poet’s wife, who sat for the sculptor whose bronze bust of her won the competition for the new Mercury dime minted in 1916. There’s a sort of a sight rhyme in the fact that when Bing

Crosby was singing “Brother Can You Spare a Dime,” the model for the goddess on the dime in circulation at the time was married to a poet whose day job was evaluating insurance claims. An Awakening The peignoir-clad woman in “Sunday Morning,” who feels “content when wakened birds,/Before they fly, test the reality/Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings,” wonders to herself, “But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields/Return no more, where, then, is paradise?” The wakened birds and the wondering woman remind me of the first time I discovered poetry writ large in the real world. It happened the spring of my senior year in high school when my friends and I were in the habit of maki n g s u d d e n , t h o u g h tless late-night drives all over southern In diana. As the driver of the favored car (a fire-engine-red Buick Special convertible), I usually managed to get home no later than two or three in the morning, aware that my worried mother would most likely be waiting up for me. On this occasion, around an hour before sunrise, I was blindsided by an immense noise as soon as I turned off the ignition. It was a jagged, shrill forcefield of sheer sonic mayhem unlike anything I’d ever heard. I knew the din was being made by birds in trees, our trees in our backyard, but it was as though I’d never until that moment comprehended the fact that birds in trees were part of our daily lives. In the time it took me to get from the car to the house, it seemed that the more I heard of the monumental uproar, the more the power of it thrilled me and the closer I was to being inside this strange yet somehow familiar element. I was already punchy at that hour, the sun was rising, and I felt as though the storm of sound had broken through some barrier between ordinary life and the unknown. No surprise, my mother was sitting at the kitchen table, waiting up for me. We were beyond the small talk of her asking where on earth I’d been and me

making excuses. She was smiling when she saw the stunned expression on my face; she knew what I was feeling and thinking. We were about to share something we would never share again. “It’s the dawn chorus!” she said. “Isn’t it wonderful!” What seemed wonderful to me at that moment besides my mother were those two words. Compared to the taken-forgranted language of daily life, “dawn chorus” was a poem. Ways of Looking Thanks to my wife, we now have two bird feeders in the backyard. We’ve lived in this house over 30 years and because of the bird feeders I’m seeing another world out there. We have a good view of the feeders through the living room windows. The birds seem to favor the more architecturally elaborate of these structures. We’ve enjoyed the comings and goings of goldfinches, black-capped chickadees, nuthatches, various woodpeckers, and amid the poetry of birds the slapstick comedy of squirrels performing frenzied acrobatics of frustration trying to penetrate the swaying pagoda stuffed with sunflower seeds. I’m sitting in a wicker armchair facing the window with a copy of The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens open to, what else, “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird.” This time of year the most appropriate way of looking is the third one: “The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds./It was a small part of the pantomime.” The ways most in harmony with my situation at the window would seem to be the second (“I was of three minds, Like a tree/In which there are three blackbirds”) and the fifth about not knowing whether to prefer “the beauty of inflections/Or the beauty of innuendoes,/The blackbird whistling,/Or just after.” Except the only black birds in our backyard are grackles, and they don’t whistle. A month before we put up the bird feeders, I was “of six minds” watch-

ing six of them sharing the same swaying branch, like a carnival ride, poetry in motion, but once they discovered the bird feeder, descending on it en masse, it was doggerel in motion, and soon they were “eating us out of house and home.” My wife did some research, consulted friends, and we switched to safflower seeds. It took only a morning for the grackles to figure out that the diet was not to their liking. For a few days no one was stopping at our restaurant. It reached the point where I was staring at the feeder thinking field-of-dreams thoughts (“If you build it, they will come”). It got worse after we read Carl Zimmer’s September 19 New York Times article (“Birds Are Vanishing from North America”), with this excerpt from Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring: “On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices, there was now no sound.” Several birdless vigils left me feeling like someone living out a parable based on the words of a conservation biologist quoted in the same article: “This is the loss of nature.” Eventually the chickadees and woodpeckers came back but not the grackles. The upside of the change in diet was the arrival of new customers like the blue jays and cardinals, always a presence in our backyard. As hard as it was to fathom the idea that the warbler population has dropped by 617 million, and that there are 440 million fewer blackbirds than there once were, the most troubling thing in the article came at the end, with a bird-watcher saying “It’s nothing like it used to be. If the cardinals and the blue jays and the sparrows aren’t doing well, that’s really scary.” The Other Cardinals n the aftermath of the last day of baseball’s regular season, I’m back to Wallace Stevens and the fifth way of looking. But the beauty of inflections and innuendoes in October is on the field called the diamond where cardinals become Cardinals and blue jays Blue Jays. The season ended for Toronto on Sunday but not for St. Louis. Tomorrow the Cardinals I’ve lived and died with since April will fly to Atlanta to play the Braves in the first game of the Division Series. —Stuart Mitchner

The Princeton University Orchestra (PUO) launches its 122nd season on Friday and Saturday, October 18-19, at 7:30 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. T he pro g ra m fe at u re s sophomore percussionist Elijah Shina, performing Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Joseph Schwantner’s Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra, with which he won last year’s concerto competition as a first-year undergraduate student. This work will be paired with Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 98. The concert will be conducted by the orchestra’s director Michael Pratt, who shares: “Joseph Schwantner’s Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra brings in a stage full of percussion instruments of every stripe for a work that is a volcano of color and great rhythms,” said Pratt. “Brahms’ magnificent late life masterwork, also on the program, takes us to a completely different planet. It is a work of deep meditation that also carries heroic defiance. It feels fitting to begin our season with this life-affirming symphony.” Tickets to this pair of concerts are $15 ($5 for stu-

Now in its 122nd year, the orchestra plays a wide range of works by compos ers f rom t he Classical period up through freshly composed works by Princeton composers. The 2019-2020 season will also feature piano soloist Francine Kay, a new work by P r inceton Un iversit y graduate student composer Annika Socolofsky, and works by Anton Bruckner, Gustav Mahler, and others.

Now open at the Michener Museum in Doylestown, Pa., “Impressionism to Modernism: The Lenfest Collection of American Art” pays tribute to one of the Michener’s most impactful donors, Gerry Lenfest. L e n fe s t a n d h i s w ife, Marg uer ite, donated 59 Pennsylvania Impressionist paintings to the Michener in 1999. This comprehensive collection is the cornerstone of the Michener’s holdings of American Impressionism, with important works by Walter Emerson Baum, Fern Coppedge, John Fulton Folinsbee, Daniel Garber, William Lathrop, Edward Redfield, George Sotter, Robert Spencer, and Walter Elmer Schofield. A compendium of Modernist works, donated by the Lenfests in 2010, rounds out this exhibition, featuring pieces by Charles Frederick Ramsey, Louis Stone, Charles Evans, Lloyd Ney, and Charles Rosen, among others. On view through January 5, “Impressionism to Modernism” includes approximately 100 works by over 30 artists, dating from the late 1890s to the late 1950s, encompassing one of the most creative and significant periods in the history of the region and American art. Viewing the collection in total complicates the predominant understanding of 20th-century American art as a continual progression towards abstraction. The distinct styles represented demonstrate that artists, influenced by the European avant-garde, experimented with non-objective painting at the same time that Impressionist artists continued to dominate exhibitions and win awards. These artists lived, worked, and exhibited in the same communities, even as they trafficked in very different aesthetic philosophies. For the first time ever, Michener visitors can experience this collection in its entirety, through the eyes of these visionary collectors. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown, Pa. It is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.;

Seventh Annual “Art at Kings Oaks” Exhibition

“Art at Kings Oaks,” an artist-led art exhibition on a Bucks County farm near Newtown, Pa., will return for its seventh year October 4 to 20. The curation includes paintings, drawings, prints, collage, ceramics, and sculpture by 28 artists from across the U.S., the U.K., and Japan. New tow n painter A lex Cohen and Alaskan theater artist Clara Weishahn present “Art at Kings Oaks” in an 1839 barn and stone chapel on the grounds of their home, Kings Oaks. T h is ye ar t hey s ele c te d more than 200 pieces from the 28 participants. While there isn’t a unifying theme for Art at Kings Oaks, Cohen and Weishahn say they are drawn to work that conveys the ar tist’s hand and a deep connection to craft. The couple also has to envision how the artwork will resonate with their non-traditional spaces. “We’re fortunate to have this historic architecture to dialogue with and the result is much more powerful than we can ever anticipate at the outset,” says Cohen. Presenting an intergenerational group of artists is a core element of “Art at Kings Oaks,” with work from advanced-career arti s t s l i ke L o i s D o d d ( b. 1927) whose observational landscapes bring a clarit y of expres sion honed throughout her celebrated 70 -year career, to rising s t a r S a r a N o a M a r k ( b. 1991) whose car ved clay paper sculptures suggest an interpretive engagement with antiquities. Other highlights include the oil paintings of New Yorker Younghee Choi Martin, transporting the viewer into a dream of Aeschylus’s Oresteia, while Leroy Johnson’s mixed-media collages explore the past and present landscape of inner city Philadelphia.

“TREASURE BOX”: The works of artist Holly Lee are on exhibit in “Holly Lee: A Jeweler’s Journey,” on view through January 5 at the Hunterdon Art Museum. Lee’s husband, ceramic artist Cliff Lee, also has a solo show running concurrently at the Museum.

“Holly Lee: A Jeweler’s “The pieces I’ve kept over the years are either the beginJourney” at HAM

For artist Holly Lee, many of the works featured in her new solo exhibition at the Hunterdon Art Museum (HAM) hold a special significance. The majority of jewelry pieces in the show come from Lee’s personal collection. They include items she has held onto since she started making jewelry up to her most recent body of work, The Primitive Series.

ning of a series — the inspiration piece — or something I just loved and didn’t want to sell,” Lee said. “In one piece, I used so many of my different techniques that I kept it . . . for my children to have. Another is the first serious piece of jewelry I ever made. I was still in college and working in a jewelry store during the summer where I was some-

times given some time to work on whatever I wanted.” Viewers can see these and other pieces in her solo exhibition, “Holly Lee: A Jeweler’s Journey,” which runs through January 5. Another item in the show, titled The Dancer, could be called a happy accident, the result of an unintended collaboration with her husband, ceramic artist Cliff Lee, who also has a solo show running concurrently at the Museum. “I broke one of his bowls,” she says. “I picked up the shard and because the glaze was so pretty, I set it on my work bench for a while. I had a piece of jewelry sitting there too that I didn’t like, and I took it apart. All these pieces were sitting on my work bench, and one day I realized that they went really well together.” Lee rarely sketches out a creation in advance. She’ll spread out various beads and stones from the enormous collection she’s amassed through the years to get a feel for what she thinks will play well together. Then she starts working. While she’ll have an idea where she wants to go with a creation, Lee is attuned to subtle changes during the process, allowing the pieces to take its own form and direction. One signature motif in Lee’s work are the tiny drilled holes in a number of her hollow pieces. Lee said the holes add texture to her work while allowing light to pass through the object. “I’ve always found that fascinating to have the light passing through space and coming out the other side,” she noted. Lee’s unique, handcrafted jewelry is in the permanent collections of the Fuller Craft Museum and the Mint Muse-

“Elsie the Cow: A Mooving Tail,” an illustrated lecture by Bill Hart, will take place Sunday, October 6 at 3 p.m. at Plainsboro Recreation Center, 641 Plainsboro Road. Elsie the Cow was one of the ten most popular trademarks of the twentieth century. She lived and is buried in Plainsboro. On the occasion of Elsie’s 80th birthday, Bill Hart, of Plainsboro, will describe how Elsie came to be “born” at the 1939-1940 New York City World’s Fair and how she evolved out of one of many Borden advertising caricatures of the 1930s into the spokescow of the Borden Dairy Company. When not at the World’s Fair, Elsie lived at the Walker Gordon Dairy in Plainsboro,

On October 10, the Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) welcomes writer/educator Fran McManus for a talk on New Jersey cider, past and present. The program, for visitors age 21 and up, will take place at 7 p.m. in the historic barn on the Society’s six-acre site, Updike Farmstead, at 354 Quaker Road. Apple-picking is a popular fall activity, but few may realize the significant history of apples in the Garden State. New Jersey colonists started planting apple orchards in the 17th century, providing not just fruit to eat, but also to make cider, the favored alcoholic drink of the day. By the end of the colonial period, Newark Cider was renowned, and even fueled a thriving industry in counterfeit champagne. The evening will include a sampling of New Jersey’s own Ironbound Hard Cider. Named for the historic Newark neighborhood, Ironbound Hard Cider is crafted by Jersey Cider Works, and made with fresh-pressed apples sourced from orchards in New Jersey and nearby states. The company’s mission is to restore Jersey cider to its former glory. Tickets are $10. Visit www. princetonhistory.org. The program is held in conjunction with the Garden State History Garden exhibition at Updike Farmstead.

On Saturday, October 26 from 1-4 p.m., a harvest festival “Celebrating Apples, Richard ‘the Duke’ Stockton’s Cider, and Morven’s Heritage Cooks” is at Morven Museum & Garden, 55 Stockton Street. The event is free and open to the public. Richard “The Duke” Stockton (1790-1837) wrote proudly of his “cider as fine as wine.” This Morven celebrates its second generation of Stocktons with this free family day highlighting Morven’s apple orchards, heritage cooks, and harvest time activities popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The day’s activities include costumed reenactors and hands-on demonstrations, including cider making, distilling, and cooking. There will be demonstrations of pickling, preserving, and sweetmeats. Foodways to America and the important role of enslaved people in bringing new foods to this country will be recognized. Other attractions include live period music and dances of the time, take-home crafts, making corn husk dolls, and printing with apples. Visit morven.org for details.

The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad (PFARS) has announced the start of the community phase of its campaign to build a new headquarters and secure the future of the nonprofit organization. A new state-of-the-art facility, presently under construction at 2 Mount Lucas Road, will become home to the town’s emergency medical and rescue operations in early 2020. A modest endowment will serve as an investment in the specialized equipment and training needed to ensure best-in-class emergency medical and rescue services. To date, the campaign has raised 75 percent of its $12 million campaign goal. The sources of campaign revenue are gifts from individuals and private foundations, along with the sale of squad-owned real estate. The squad began planning 15 years ago to replace its outdated headquarters at 237 North Harrison Street. Based on call volume over the past 10 years, the new facility will be situated to offer the best possible response times to all Princeton residents. “We are optimistic that residents will support this oncein-a-lifetime campaign, just as they have been behind us for 80 years,” says Mark Freda, president.

Davidson, Griffin Enjoy Record-Breaking Efforts As Princeton Football Cruises Past Bucknell 56-23

ob Surace was looking for his Princeton University football team to make a big jump from its season opener as it played at Bucknell last Saturday in the second game of the season. But in the early stages of the contest, it looked like Princeton may be taking a step back after its 49-7 win over Butler in its 2019 debut as the Bison jumped out to a 7-0 lead and the teams were tied 14-14 midway through the second quarter. “From my experiences in the NFL, every year you play teams coming off a bye, that is a huge advantage for them,” said Princeton head coach Surace, who spent 10 years as an assistant coach for the Cincinnati Bengals before taking the helm of his alma mater before the 2010 season. “They came out on fire. We missed some things that we needed to hit. Credit them, their energy was more than ours was.” Princeton picked picked up the energy from there, scoring 14 unanswered points to take a 28-14 halftime lead and never looked back on the way to a 56-23 win over Bucknell before a crowd of 3,795 at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium “I thought our guys really kept their focus, they kept battling,” said Surace, who earned the 50th win of his Princeton tenure as the Tigers improved to 2-0 and posted their 12th straight victory while the Bison dropped to 0-4. “As the game went on,

we were able to make enough plays to win.” Senior quarterback Kevin Davidson made a number of big plays, connecting 29-of37 passes for 381 yards and a program and Ivy League record seven touchdowns. “He broke the all time Ivy League record and the Ivy League has been around a long time,” said Surace of Davidson, who was later named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week and the College Football Performance Awards Co-Performer of the Week for the FCS. “He did a great job managing his poise, managing the pocket. He kept his eyes downfield and he just threw it tremendously well. There were some great throws and the receivers played really well,” Senior wide receiver Andrew Griffin played exceptionally well against Bucknell, catching nine passes for 200 yards and four touchdowns - tying Michael Lerch’s 28-year-old school record for touchdown receptions in a game and tying the Ivy record as well. “Griff is one of those guys that if you don’t root for him, something is wrong with you,” said Surace of Griffin, who was named last week as a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Award, which goes to the top scholar-athlete in college football. “The guy is an incredible leader, student, person. In my 10 years with the team, he is probably the best student I have ever had here.

He is as good a worker as I have ever had and he is just fun to be around. He is fun to coach.” For Surace, it is special to coach both Davidson and Griffin. “Those two guys are exactly what college sports at Princeton should be about,” said Surace. “They are two guys who do everything right, who work their tails off, who embrace the academic side of things and embrace being high-level Division I athletes. They embrace everything good so when we say what is the NCAA supposed to be about, it is them.” Giving up 398 yards of total offense to Bucknell, the Tigers didn’t do everything exactly right on defense. “We weren’t precise on a few things, but it was the hottest day we have had,” said Surace “We had guys in and out. Bucknell played a game that was more horizontal than vertical so we had to run to the football. You get 11 guys running 40 yards every play with pads on, that is tough. Our coaches did a good job of utilizing all of our personnel and getting guys in and out. We have to improve in the area of pursuit.” Surace, though did see improvement from a number of new faces on defense. “Tyler McDonald had his first varsity action ever last week; he is such a smart player and he was over thinking things,” said Surace of the junior linebacker.

“It was great to see him make just a couple of big time tackles and to see Jaylen Bailey do the same thing. James Staag had an interception and a sack. (and was later named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week) The more they do it, the more confidence they have that they can do it.” While Princeton had some sloppy moments last Saturday, Surace is confident going forward. “We are certainly not perfect by any means,” said Surace. “We have a long way to go but I think there is a lot of good to seize on.” The Tigers will need to be sharper this Saturday when they host Columbia (1-1) in the Ivy League opener for both teams. “Their defense is lights out and they have one of the best returners (Mike Roussos), if not the best returner, in the country,” said Surace. “They have got the weapons. We saw Ronald Smith catch a 75-yarder to beat us two years ago. Josh Wainwright is one of the most explosive receivers that we go against. They have a veteran quarterback (Josh Bean) who has played well. They are improved up front on the offensive line. They have Al Bagnoli, who is a legendary coach. They went 6-4 last year with about 20 players who missed the year because of injury. They are as good as any team in our league, if not better.” With the Lions posing challenges on both sides of the ball, Surace is expecting a good battle this Saturday. “The last time we played

What they have done is to

build a program and we are going to get everything under the kitchen sink. They are tough and they are talented. We are going to need to have a great week of practice and preparation.” —Bill Alden

With Martin Saving His Best for Last, PU Men’s Soccer Grinding Out Wins It appears that Ben Martin is saving his best for last as he goes through his senior season for the Princeton Un iversit y men’s soccer team. The midfielder tallied a goal and an assist to help Princeton defeat Fairleigh Dickinson University 4-0 on September 21. Three days later as Princeton hosted Drexel, Martin struck again, taking a feed from Kevin O’Toole and heading the ball into the back of the net to put the Tigers up 1-0. “Whenever you see Kevin with the ball, you have to start running,” said Martin, a 6’2, 184-pound native of Irvine, Calf. “Kevin can put it on a dime.” Wit h sophomore Ryan Clare and freshman Spencer Fleurant putting in goals, Princeton went on to a 3-1 win over the Dragons as it improved to 4-2. “It was a team win because we did not play our best,” said Martin. “We played well

enough to win.” With the victory over Drexel extending Princeton’s winning streak to three, Martin believes that the team is getting in sync. “I think coach [Jim] Barlow has done a really good job with the formation and really finding a formation that has suited all of our players,” said Martin. “In the beginning of the season, we were struggling because we were finding ourselves. Now I think we have found ourselves a little more and that is credit to his tactics and us as a team coming together.” The Tigers will look to keep putting things together this week as they were slated to play at St. Joseph’s on October 1 before starting their Ivy League campaign with a game at Dartmouth on October 5. “We have a week off, so this week will be a big week for us in terms of finding ourselves even more,” said Martin. “Hopefully we can

BIG BEN: Princeton University men’s soccer player Ben Martin, left, goes after the ball in a 2018 game. Last week, senior midfielder Martin scored a goal to help Princeton defeat Drexel 3-1.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

put in a better performance at St. Joe’s.” Marin is determined to perform well in his final college campaign. “My role has evolved quite a bit, I have played a lot of positions; now I am a center mid that goes both ways,” said Martin, who has two goals and an assist on the season for five points, third best on the squad. “Now I think I need to take more of a leadership role. That is something I have been a little passive towards in previous years. I have a month and a half left here.” Princeton head coach Barlow likes the way Martin has been stepping up this fall. “Ben is so important for us, he can do everything,” said Barlow. “He can play any position. He covers ground, he is athletic, he is good with the ball, he can score, he can defend. He has different roles from game to game. He has a played a few different spots this year already.” In reflecting on the win over the Dragons, Barlow acknowledged that his squad didn’t play as well as he had hoped. “It wasn’t a great day for us; credit Drexel, I think they made it hard for us,” said Barlow. “We had a decent stretch at the end of the first half and at the start of the season half. We weren’t as sharp or as tuned in defensively as were at FDU. We were opportunistic around the goal today. Finishing our chances when we don’t have a great day is huge and it helped get us a result.”

Barlow enjoyed seeing Clare and Fleurant notch their first career goals. “It is important that we can score in a lot of different ways and have a lot of different guys contributing,” said Barlow. “That part was one of the positives. It is the sign of a good team, finding a way to win when you are not at your best. In previous years, playing like we did tonight, we would not have gotten a result so give the guys a lot of credit for finding a way.” With Princeton starting the defense of its Ivy crown this weekend, Barlow will be looking for his guys to raise their game. “We are still trying to get healthy, we are still trying to figure things out,” said Barlow. “We haven’t been able to have training sessions that are really good because every day is either the day before a game or the day after a game. It is hard to push it, but now we can push it for a week and see if we can make some progress. I hope we will be ready. We have to take a few more steps, that is for sure.” In Martin’s view, the win over Drexel shows that the Tigers have the grit to make another title push. “We saw that our team, even though it was not a pretty win today, can grind out wins,” said Martin. “That is what you need because every Ivy game is not going to go the way you want. This team can grind out wins, we have a lot of heart. That is pretty necessary to win an Ivy title.” —Bill Alden

Bella Lependorf knows what it’s like to win a title for the Princeton High girls’ tennis team at the Mercer County Tournament. As a freshman last fall, she teamed w ith Jordan Johnson to take the first doubles crown at the MCT. Having moved up to the second singles spot this year for PHS, Lependorf didn’t see herself repeating as a county champion at the competition held last week at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. “When I first started this tournament, I didn’t think I would win,” said Lependorf. “My season started off a little rough; I had some tough matches.” Displaying her toughness, t h i r d - s e e d e d L e p e n d or f came through last Wednesday in the final day of action at the county tourney. In the morning, Lependorf defeated top-seeded Courtney Copeland of Lawrence High 3-6-7-5, 6-4 in the semis. Building on that per for mance, L ependor f cruised to a 6-0, 6-3 victory over fourth-seeded Melissa Liu of WW/P-South in the championship match. “It was mostly mental, I knew I could do it physically,” said Lependorf, reflecting on her title run. “In the beginning of the season I wasn’t very strong mentally. I was ner vous. I handled my nerves well here. I am really excited, I am happy that I pulled it off.” Pulling off the victory at second singles helped PHS

edge three-time defending champion Hightstown to win the team title as the Tigers ended with 25 points and the Rams came in at 23. Lependorf pointed to a 3-2 win over Hightstown on September 17 as giving PHS a major boost heading into the MCT. “That was huge because I don’t think we had beaten them in a long time,” said Lependorf, who pulled out a three-set win in that match. “We were all really excited after that and it made us a lot more confident.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert is excited by the prog ress L ependor f has made this fall.

“Bella started her season with Courtney [Copeland] and Nikita [Tripurana of WW/P-North], two of the top seeds here, and opened by going 0-2 and felt really nervous,” said Hibbert. “But then in Hightstown, she came on and finished that match for us in the third set. She is coming into her own as a singles player.” Lependorf, for her part, is looking to finish the campaign on a high note with the state tournament on the horizon. “My serves have gotten a lot better; they are pretty consistent,” said Lependorf. “My ball placement has gotten a lot better. I am looking forward to the rest of the season.” —Bill Alden

Showing Depth, Competitive Spirit, PHS Girls’ Tennis Captures MCT Title

It was a long day of tennis for Sophia Kim and Lucia Marckioni as they competed in the final rounds at first doubles last Wednesday in the Mercer County Tournament. The pair of Princeton High sophomores started the day by outlasting Hayden Masia and Hannah Van Dusen of Princeton Day School 7-6, 4-6, 7-5 in a semifinal match that took more than three hours to complete. In t he f inal, K im and Marckioni won the first set against Morgan Koppel and Maeve McGowan of Hightstown but then dropped the second set and faced a decisive third set in the competition held at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. Kim was not surprised that the final turned into another marathon. “We had already played them once so we were ready, we knew it was going to be close,” said Kim. “We were just thinking about making our shots and not hitting it to the volleyer.” Marckioni, for her part, saw stay ing in t he mo ment as the key to coming through. “I felt pretty confident going in, we always have this saying ‘15-0 first, take it one point at a time,’” said Marckioni. “So it is whatever happens, happens and take it from there. We are also really good under pressure.” The pressure was on Kim SECOND ACT: Princeton High girls’ tennis player Bella Lependorf hits a backhand in action last week at the Mercer County Tourna- and Marckioni as PHS needment.

“As a physician, I find it fulfilling to treat all my patients as individuals. I give them my time and expertise. When I’m a patient, I expect the same level of attention and care that I give my patients. I’ve been to doctors in New York and the surrounding area. I’m truly happy to have found the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center to help keep me out of pain and able to continue to treat patients and enjoy my life and family. I put my trust and my health in the hands of the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint center and recommend them to my family and friends. If you have pain, I’d strongly recommend you give them a call.”

— Andrew Pedinoff, MD

The pair’s familiarity with each other was a big plus in crunch time. “We were on JV last year and we played together so we have some experience,” said Kim. “We know how to play together.” Kim and Marckioni came together, pulling out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 win to give PHS the crown as it ended up with 25 points to edge Hightstown, who came in at 23. “That feels so good, it means so much more to have the team win,” said Marckioni. For PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert, the title meant a lot as it ended a long wait which has seen the Tigers fall just short of the title in recent years. “It is amazing, the last time we won was 2014,” said Hibbert. “I am really proud of how from first singles to second doubles we were able to compete and pick up the big points. We had a really tough draw all the way through and the girls really rose to the challenge.” Displaying depth, the Tigers reached the finals in four of the five flights with sophomore Bella Lependorf taking the crown at second singles and senior Nicole Samios coming in second at third singles while the second doubles pair of seniors Sora Sato and Ilana Scheer placed second in their flight. “They all worked really hard, there were a bunch of three-set matches and they really gutted it out,” said Hibbert. “They really worked for the benefit of the team on each point.” The first doubles team showed guts as they outlast-

ed their opponents throughout the competition. “They had three marathons in a row because their second round match on Monday was a three-setter against Hun that was really tough; they were down and they came back,” said Hibbert. “I was really, really proud of the way they were able to rally in that third set. They started strong, continued strong and got up 5-0. We had a little bit of a nervous glitch there at the end when we let a couple of match points get away.” In Hibbert’s view, a 3-2 regular season w in over Hightstown on September 17 helped give the Tigers a boost coming into the county competition. “It was a hard -fought battle, they played great matches as well,” said Hibbert, reflecting on the earlier match. “It is really nice for the girls to be able to do this today. We have four seniors this year and we have been runner up or just below to Hightstown the last three years.” With the state tournament starting later this month, Hibbert is hoping the MCT triumph will have a carryover effect for the Tigers. “We are in a really tough br ac ke t,” s a i d H ibb e r t, whose team edged WW/PSouth 3-2 last Friday to improve to 7-0 and hosts Nottingham on October 3 and Hamilton West on October 8. “Hopefully they will be able to use some of these wins as momentum for that.” —Bill Alden

Coming off a tough 2-0 loss to Allentown, Eleanor Wilkinson and her teammates on t he Pr inceton High f ield hockey team were primed to bounce back as they hosted Ewing last Wednesday. “That really motivated us, it was our second loss of the year,” said Wilkinson. “It was a really good learning opportunity. We learned about playing against a more aggressive opponent, which we hadn’t really faced in the past. We have learned about playing on a new surface, adapting to our environment, and adapting with communication to our players.” The Tigers showed aggressiveness against Ewing, jumping out to a 3-0 halftime lead on the way to an 8-0 win. “We were trying to totally keep the possession within our team and use skills to our advantage,” said Wilkinson. Wilkinson’s skill was on display as she assisted on the second tally of the game and then notched the seventh goal. “I had a couple of opportunities where it just went off the post,” said Wilkinson. “It was a straight ball right in the circle to the right post, so that was really nice.” Wilkinson has enjoyed getting the opportunity to be in the center of the field for the Tigers. “O u r m idf ield is ver y s t r o n g t h i s y e a r,” s a i d Wilkinson. “As mids, we have this game with Morgan Swanke and Ava Greene. I am in the center. That is definitely helping us a lot.” Serving as a team captain along with Greene and star goalie Grace Cooke, Wilkinson is looking to set a positive tone.

“We are having a lot of fun this year, I think it’s why we are having a lot of success,” said Wilkinson. “The seniors last year set a great example in just having fun and being motivated. Ava, Grace and me are trying to step up into that position that they held last year.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson like the way her squad stepped up its defensive effort in the win over Ewing. “We are working on playing team defense, that is our goal right now,” said Serverson. “In practice we have been working a lot on dropping, double teaming, and communicating. I saw a lot of that today so I am really proud that they have been taking the things we have been working on in practice and taking them into the games.” Serverson credited Wilkinson with sparking the team at both ends of the field. “Ellie has been doing a great job defensively of getting the ball and then transitioning to offense ver y quickly and getting those nice cross balls for us in the circle,” said Serverson. Swanke and Greene have also been giving PHS some very nice work. “I was putting Morgan all over the place and finally she has found her niche on that left side,” said Serverson. “Whether it is forward or mid, she has been doing a great job over there. Ava is our steady Eddie in the middle. When she is playing well, we play well. When she is feisty, we are feisty. She just does a good job defensively, getting the ball back. It is almost like it is a personal insult to take the ball away from her.” In Serverson’s view, her

players need to work on producing a steady effort throughout the game. “I just want them to fix the small things that we have been doing wrong,” said Serverson. “With our last loss to Allentown, we really hung in until the end. We need to start from the beginning with a better tone, with more intensity, connecting, and communicating. We kind of fluctuate with our energy.” With the postseason around the corner, Serverson is confident that PHS will bring the energy in the big games ahead. “We are definitely improving; we have Olivia Weir back on the field, she has been out for quite a while,” said Serverson, whose team defeated Hamilton West 2-0 last Friday to improve to 8-2 and will play at Hopewell Valley on October 3 and at Hightstown on October 5 before hosting Lawrence High in October 8. “They have better familiarity now, they know how the other players play and where they need to be. Once they learn how to play together, I can manage the rest. That familiarity is hard to just force.” Wilkinson, for her part, believes that the lessons gained from defeat will help PHS keep improving. “Although winning is very nice and we all love to win, we are learning a lot from our losses,” said Wilkinson. “I think that is going to be really important moving into MCTs and the states. We need to focus on strengthening our defense, not the defensive players necessarily, but just our positioning on the field and skill-wise.” —Bill Alden

After dropping the first set 25-20 to visiting WW/P-S last Friday, the Princeton High girls’ volleyball team knew it had to pay more attention to detail. “It was really just to focus on the basics and really go for it,” said PHS senior star Gillian Hauschild. “I think

we all just did a really good job of buckling down.” The Tigers did a really good job as they won the second set 25-18 but then squandered a 22-18 lead in the decisive set as they fell 25-23. “We had the momentum there, I think we just had a lapse in mindset and we re-

ally need to work harder on being stronger,” said Hauschild, reflecting on the defeat, which dropped the Tigers to 7-2. “We just need to focus on confidence, I think we felt a little hesitation there.” Hauschild has no hesitation when assessing the bonds she has developed with her classmates on the team. “It is amazing, there are nine seniors and we really work great together,” said Hauschild. As a four-year standout for the Tigers, Hauschild is looking to make the most of her final campaign at PHS. “I definitely took on more of a leadership role this year,” said Hauschild, who has committed to attend

Colgate University and play for its Division I women’s volleyball program. “I think I grew into my body more; I worked really hard over the summer. It has really paid off.” PHS head coach Patt y Manhart credited W W/PSouth with coming up with some good work to pull out the win over her squad. “Their offense is really strong, I don’t think we handled their offense as well as we could have,” said Manhart. “We did best if they were getting free balls over the net. We just have to learn how to close.” Manhart is getting strong play from her senior cocaptains Hauschild and Kim Cheng. “Gillian gives us everything; her energy is great,

she picks up her team mates,” said Manhart. “She gets an amazing kill down the line and that helps pick up our energy. Kim is just always a rock, whether it is serving, passing, or hitting.” As PHS looks to rebound from the loss to WW/P-S, Manhart will be depending on her veterans to get the team back on the winning track. “They help each other out, they trust one another,” said Manhart of her senior group. “They pick each other up. They win together, they lose together. They enjoy one another’s company. They lost a tough game today but they still love one another.” Man har t b elieve s t hat maintaining intensity is the key to picking up things down the stretch. “It is consistency; they

know it is a game of momentum,” said Manhar t, whose team is slated to host Lawrenceville School on October 2 and then play at WW/P-North on October 8 “They need to play at the top of their game all of the time. They can’t let up at any point. We are not where we need to be. Like today our blocking wasn’t there; that was the first time our blocks weren’t closing. Each game it is a little something different. It is that consistency, being able to perform at the top all of the time.” In Hauschild’s view, the Tigers have what it takes to perform at a high level. “This team has so much potential,” said Hauschild. “We just need to focus on buckling down in the moments that matter.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Hauschild Has Big Performance But PHS Girls’ Volleyball Falls to WW/P-S

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2019 • 30

Inspired by Yakoby’s Work Rate, Productivity, PDS Boys’ Soccer Rallies to Top Lawrenceville

Eyal Yakoby struggled to join the post-game celebration after the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team edged Lawenceville 3-2 last Saturday afternoon. PDS senior star and cocaptain Yakoby had ice packs taped to both of his calves as his legs gave out several times on the stifling afternoon, forcing him to hobble over to hug his teammates after the win. “I got a lot of cramps in my legs which weren’t the most fun,” said Yakoby. “I knew that I had to stick through it, I had to stay with the team. I had to play for my teammates, I had to play for myself.” Giving his all before being sidelined, Yakoby picked up two assists as the Panthers rallied from a 2-1 first half deficit to forge ahead 3-2 by halftime and then hold off the Big Red to win by that score in a war of attrition as players from both teams suffered from the heat. With PDS mired in a fivegame losing streak, Yakoby and his teammates were determined to leave it on the field as they faced rival Lawrenceville on the school’s fall weekend “We all had the mindset that we have to work hard this entire week,” said Yakoby. “Saturday is the day. We haven’t had that many home games, it was going to be a big crowd. We have to just get our stuff together, practice hard, and put that into the game.”

Getting put into a new position up the field for the Lawrenceville game, Yakoby worked hard in his new role. “I have been defender all season, that was the first game that I played attack,” said Yakoby. “I like it. We just have to switch it up. It is about playing to our advantage and then looking to see how we can deconstruct the other team’s formation and play balls in.” Hustling around the goal, Yakoby played balls in to set up classmate Nas Amer for the first goal of the contest and then got a pass to freshman Joaquin Rodriguez for the tally that made it a 2-2 contest. “I was thinking that it wan’t going to go that far and Nas got it,” said Yakoby. “It was a great step by him, he said let it go so I just tapped it to him. On the second one, I saw the ball coming in and I thought I could get there. The goalie got there at the same time. I was able to tap a pass and Joaquin was able to come in and capitalize on the opportunity.” In Yakoby’s s view, the victory over the Big Red could be a game changer for the Panthers this fall. “I think this win is a turning point in the season, we are going to extract the positives,” said Yakoby. “There were also negatives in the game, just like every game. We got to work on our clearing, we have to work on set pieces. It is

building blocks, it is just getting to playoffs, the prep Bs and to the MCTs.” PDS head coach Ollie Hilliker concurred, noting that his team badly needed a win after a number of close losses. “We have had a tough season so far, we are young right now,” said Hilliker, reflecting on the game which saw junior Chima Chukumba notch the winning goal with 7:13 remaining in the first half to help the Panthers improve to 3-6. “No teams have killed us, we have been in games but we have been on the unfortunate end of results in 1-0, 3-2 games. Breaking that trend that has been going on is very important. I think that is a season-changing win for these boys, it needs to be a turning point for us. Their confidence was down from losing games and being so close, working hard and not coming out with a result.” Ya ko b y d i s p l a y e d h i s toughness, grinding hard to generate scoring opportunities. “Eyal got two assists off hard work: it isn’t about quality, it is about work rate,” said Hilliker. “His work rate created two assists and two goals. That is what it comes down to at times. I said I don’t care how this looks. This isn't about looking good, this is about getting a result and getting a win.” Seeing his squad keep working through the heat on

Saturday was heartening for Hilliker. “Obviously we absorbed some pressure at the end, the boys were exhausted,” said Hilliker. “We are thin, we don’t have numbers. We tried to rotate the boys as much as we could, it was survival in the second half. I am so proud of the work rate and the effort they put in today. It would be hard to find boys who are going to work harder than that in these conditions. They thoroughly deserve it.” With PDS hosting Hun on October 3, playing at Pingry on October 5 and then hosting Gill St. Bernard’s on October 7, Hilliker is looking for his players to keep showing that kind of effort. “We have a few days where we can regroup and get ourselves recovered from that and get a couple of sessions and build going into the Hun game,” said Hilliker. “Over the last few weeks, it has been game, game, and game. I am proud of them and now we have to take that into the Hun game on Thursday.” Yakoby, for his part, believes that PDS will build on the win over the Big Red. “I can see in the weeks ahead that we are always going to use this game as an anchor for our practices,” asserted Yakoby. “It will be remember Lawrenceville, remember how we played and remember how we outworked them. Remember this is our team, this is our season. We don’t get another one, every game is a big point for us right now.” —Bill Alden

It looked like freshman Neha Khandkar might be in over her head as she played in the third singles final at the Mercer County Tournament last Wednesday. P r inceton Day S chool girls’ tennis star Khandkar fell 6-3 in the first set as she battled senior Nicole Samios of Princeton High but kept her head. “Going into the second set, I realized that I was beating myself so I needed to stay more conservative and use more topspin,” said Khandkar. “I had to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to come to the net, that is where I finish points best.” Khandkar didn’t wait to seize momentum in the second set. “I needed that first game to give me a boost,” said Khandkar. “I got the first game; I was exhilarated and I had more energy.” Maintaining that energy, Khandkar won the third set 6-1 to close out the match and earn the title. “I was pretty confident that I could carry the momentum; more so I was happy about my physical ability because I have been working on my physical fitness,” said Khandkar. “She was a really good mover too. It really came down to who had the most stamina and who was mentally stronger. I was looser in the third set. I got rid of the burden of being down a set and was just playing to my strengths.” Khandkar’s strong performance helped PDS place fifth of 18 schools in the team competition won by PHS. “I am pretty happy but I

know there are a lot of players I still have to beat because I am still only third singles,” said Khandkar, reflecting on her triumph. “So here is still the second and the first singles; we will work our way through it.” In making the jump to high school tennis, Khandkar has been trying to work smart. “It takes up a lot of time so you have to be sure to use every minute of practice, you have to use it like it is a match,” said Khandkar. “You can’t squander even a second of it. Now that I have better players to hit with, it has helped my movement on court and it has also helped my mental stamina.” PDS head coach Will Asch was impressed by Khandkar’s mental approach in rallying to her title. “Neha really loves to play; she never felt down,” said Asch. “She loves to run and move and she never quit. She just kept fighting the whole match.” In Asch’s view, Khandkar has plenty of game to go with her court movement. “She has got a lot of variety, a lot of weapons,” said Asch. “She can pretty much do everything. She hits it

pretty hard so that is coming too. She is going to be a very good player. She has match experience.” The PDS first doubles team of juniors Hayden Masia and Hannah Van Dusen showed their experience, rebounding from a three-set loss to Sophia Kim and Lucia Marckioni in the semis to top Allison Li and Claire Yen of WW/P-South in the consolation match and earn third place. “They were right in there, I thought they played very well,” said Asch, reflecting on the loss in the semis. “I think they are a good team, they like each other very much.” Going forward, Asch likes his team’s chances as he looks ahead to the state Prep B tourney. “Everybody tries really hard, you don’t have to worry about that,” said Asch, whose team hosts Hun on October 2 and Pennington on October 3 before playing at Pingry on October 4. “The girls really want to win. That is what I said to them, we have to ride it through the Prep Bs.” Khandkar, for her part, is enjoying the ride in her debut campaign. “I see the competition I have,” said Khandkar. “I know what to expect and what I can improve.” —Bill Alden

Hun Girls’ Tennis Finishes 6th at MCT As Youthful Squad Displays Potential Competing in the Mercer County Tournament last week, the Hun School girls’ tennis team came out on fire. “We all won in the first round,” said first-year Hun head coach Dan Horowitz, whose team ended Monday’s preliminary rounds at fifth place of 18 schools in the team standings. “That was definitely a nice start. There were a few close matches we lost in the next round. I wish I could have been everywhere on Monday and maybe I could have tweaked one or two things.” The Hun second doubles team of freshmen of Sabrina Wang and Ellyana Perosi ended up having a nice run, advancing to the semifinals and finishing fourth overall after falling in the consolation match as the action wrapped up Wednesday at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. “The two of them are starting to gel together as a team,” said Horowitz, whose squad ended up sixth in the final standings at the competition won by Princeton High. “They are both solid singles players actually and they are starting to learn how to work together and hold their serve. The other team had a junior and a senior and they were pumping each other up a little more. They were a little bit more sensitive to each other’s ups and downs whereas my team is still developing that. I am thrilled that they got this far.” Horowitz is pumped up to be guiding the Hun squad. “It is a nice program, the girls are really into their tennis,” said Horowitz, who previously

coached at Friends Select School in Philadelphia. “I am thrilled that Hun is giving me an opportunity to coach this team.” In coaching his players, Horowitz is focusing on helping them with the mental aspects of the game. “It is working on the emotional stuff because they are young and even some of the older ones have the nerves kick in,” said Horowitz. “It is learning how to relax out there.” In Horowitz’s view, the Raiders are learning those lessons. “I think we are going to see a

few more solid performances overall,” said Horowitz, whose team lost 4-3 to the Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on Saturday in dual match play and has matches at Lawrenceville School on October 2, at Blair Academy on October 5 and at Trenton Catholic Academy on October 7. “I want to see someone come out here and just say I played a great match regardless of the win and loss. Some of them are coming off the court winning 6-0, 6-0 and I say how did you do and they say I should have been off the court sooner. This is the mental game where they have to work on their satisfaction.” —Bill Alden

Teresa Hooban Our mom, Teresa Hooban, died September 30, surrounded by her children and her dogs, exactly as she would have wanted it. She was a colorful tapestry of a person with so many woven pieces which made her the person we all knew and treasured in so many different ways. She was a proud United States Army veteran. She was a semiprofessional cake decorator. She sewed beautiful clothes and dresses — if she finished them. She wanted to go to clown college and be a circus clown. She has, for as long as any of us have known her, had a balloon pump on hand and could actually make balloon animals, and she threw the best birthday parties with those talents. She wanted to be the drummer for Cher, or at least be friends with her. She always had the Lord and Taylor giveaway bags from the makeup counter, and lotions and potions we wouldn’t have ever gotten for ourselves. She danced more at our middle school rec nights than half the kids, and she was a “colorful” substitute CCD teacher. She loved her home state of Texas with all of her heart and she loved yellow roses, lemon meringue pie, pink coconut Hostess Sno-Balls, and ALL candy. She was oddly devoted to ABC’s entire television programming lineup, and old black-andwhite movies. She drove inappropriately fast, and she let us hang out of the moon roof of the car with our friends, back in the days when you could still do that and be the cool mom for it. She loved to sing songs in the car, always lagging a full sentence behind the singer, and she didn’t even notice that she was behind them. I think the fact that Matthew and I sang was her gift to us. Johnna, Matt, and I all know HER songs. I’m not sure what WASN’T her song. She said she’d send us butterflies but I think she will send all of us songs. She always wanted some giant fun or different thing for her life and was always looking for it. Maybe she didn’t realize that she’d given and had that fun. Her joy came from us as her kids and she did her best in all the ways she knew to give the most to all of us. She adored her grandchildren : Melanie’s children, Jack Ho oba n, W h it ney, Vivian, Nina, and Sloane McWilliams; Matthew and A llis on’s ch i ldren, B e a trice and Sawyer Hooban; and Johnna and David’s children, Nolan and Cara

Elizabeth Reilly Moynahan Elizabeth Reilly Moynahan, a lifelong architect who graduated from Radcliffe College and the Harvard School of Design in 1952 as one of only three women in her class, died September 23, 2019, age 94. She was born on D-Day, June 6, 1925 in Boston, MA. She married Julian Lane Moynahan in Cambridge, MA, August 6, 1946. Her children were Catherine Maria, 1951; Brigid Elizabeth, 1954; and Mary Ellen (Molly), 1957. Elizabeth graduated from Girl’s Latin School in Boston, Radcliffe College AB 1946, Harvard University, Graduate School of Design, B. Arch, M. Arch 1952. Liz, as she was known by friends and colleagues, managed to have a long and illustrious career as an architect while raising a family and sustaining a marriage of 68 years with the man she called “the love of her life,” her deceased husband, Julian Lane Moynahan, Distinguished Professor of English, poet, novelist, and literary critic. Her work included corporate of f ice bu ild ings, houses, schools, community buildings, housing for the elderly, barrier-free designs, a college library, and the compound for The Institute for Women’s Leadership located on the Douglass campus of Rutgers University. In Princeton, she remodeled a section of the Princeton University Library and the Institute for Advanced Study, a pioneering design for solar housing as early as the 1970s. Elizabeth was active in historic preservation restoring, among others, the Albert Einstein House. As committed advocate for af-

fordable housing, she was instrumental in creating Architects Housing, Eggerts Crossing Village Community Building and Offices in New Jersey. Her architecture and renovations included buildings in London, Dublin, and many houses on Cape Cod. She was a gifted teacher, serving as a visiting professor of Architecture at the University of Utah, Louisiana State University, Rutgers University, and visiting critic at the Bartlett School, London. Her service to the New Jersey State Board of Architects included serving as commissioner for six years and president for one. She was secretary and treasurer to the Central Chapter AIA of the New Jersey Society of Architects and selected to serve on a six-member steering Committee for Historic Resources. In addition to her professional accomplishments Liz was a mother to three daughters, an active feminist, and supporter of Civil Rights who campaigned for Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro. A devoted mentor to young men and women pursuing architecture, she generously donated her time to judging design projects in local high schools. She was an accomplished gardener and cook who taught her daughters and grandchildren how to bake bread, make pesto, and eschew processed food. Each birthday featured a delicious and creative birthday cake, with a detailed Irish Cottage one of the most impressive. Her sewing projects were extensive, featuring Liberty prints and Irish tweed, creating unique and beautiful outfits for herself and her children. An avid reader, a wonderful grandmother, and a mother who inspired and cherished her three daughters, she felt strongly about human rights and civil liberties and, along with her husband, gave generously to charity and liberal causes. An excellent storyteller and great conversationalist, she will be remembered for her wit, intelligence, strength, and empathy. Memorable anecdotes included her waltzing with the writer James Baldwin, and serving as a “Rosie the Riveter” during WWII, welding in an airplane factory as part of the war effort. Elizabeth was predeceased by her beloved husband Julian Lane Moynahan and eldest daughter, Catherine (husband, Beckman Rich), and is survived by daughters, Brigid Elizabeth Moynahan (husband, Ray Clarke) and ( Molly ) Mary Ellen Moynahan (husband, Timothy Goodrich); four grandchildren, Henry Moynahan Rich, Julian Brizzi, Lucia Brizzi, and Lucas Moynahan Helliker; and two great-grandchildren, Charles and Jack Brizzi. There will be a memorial service held in Princeton, New Jersey, April 2020.

Obituaries

Roberts. She was devoted to her brother, Raoul Trujillo, and to her sister, Alice Donhardt. Beyond them, she treasured her dogs, Diesel, Oliver, and Mia and her deceased pets, Tyler, Kramer, and Rosie. She leaves behind nieces, nephews, and so many friends and family from Texas to California, Nebraska to Wisconsin, to G er many. T hey couldn’t possibly all be named. She died in our hands on the morning of September 30, and she waited for us to all be here. As w ith ever yone who leaves us in life, we have different interpretations of what they were to us and how we remember them. We’d love each and every person who remembers our mother to please remember her in the best way you can, and to send a thought to the heavens today, because she deserves more in her memory than anyone could imagine. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in her honor to the ASPCA (aspca.org) and the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (mmrf.org).
