Environmental Forum, Sustainable Princeton Fight Climate Change “It’s Getting Hot Out There…Weird Weather and Other Climate Change Anomalies” is the title of a panel discussion at the upcoming Princeton Environmental Forum, and as the planet seems to be heating up rapidly, environmental action is intensifying on both sides of Nassau Street. The Forum, beginning this Thursday, October 24 at 4:30 p.m. and continuing through the day on October 25 at Alexander Hall’s Richardson Auditorium, will feature an array of more than 40 speakers and seven different panels, including mostly Princeton University faculty leaders and alumni who are making significant contributions in the environmental field. The Forum, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), will open with remarks from Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, followed by a panel discussion focused on major environmental challenges we currently face, according to PEI Director and Professor of Environmental Studies and Civil and Environmental Engineering Michael Celia. Friday’s conference will include panel discussions on climate change (its impacts and possible solutions), biodiversity, water, the role of environmental humanities, and a concluding session on how to break the current logjams which prevent meaningful action both nationally and locally. Andrew Winston, a 1991 Princeton University graduate and noted speaker and author on the topic of sustainable businesses, will deliver the lunch keynote address Friday on “Megatrends and the Big Pivot: Doing Business in a Hotter, Scarcer, More Open and Connected World.” Celia noted that the different panels represent key environmental issues that also correspond to major areas of strength in Princeton University’s program. “We are building significant strength in the environmental humanities,” he wrote in an email, “so we decided to make this an explicit topic of one of the panels, even though most of the panels will include both social science and humanities elements.” He continued, “We decided to highlight our efforts in the humanities to emphasize the point that complex environmental Continued on Page 8

Alexander Closure Begins November 6 When dangerously deteriorated structural conditions on the Alexander Street bridge closed the roadway for several days last April, Princeton municipal leaders and local police were taken by surprise. But this time around, the town has gotten plenty of notice. Starting Wednesday, November 6, and continuing for an estimated 135 days, Alexander Street will be closed between Lawrence Drive in Princeton to Canal Pointe Boulevard in West Windsor. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), owner of the D&R Canal Bridge, has contracted with Anselmi & DeCicco, Inc. to replace the bridge

structure. Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (MCDOTI) has contracted with Marbro, Inc. to replace the truss bridge over Stony Brook and a stream culvert located south of Lawrence Drive. This weekend, from 8 p.m. Friday, October 25 through 5 a.m. Sunday, or earlier if possible, the road will be closed for preparatory work. In the meantime, variable message boards have been warning motorists for weeks of the impending 135-day closure. A special website (bridgeclosure.princeton.edu) has been posted by Princeton

Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter is urging residents to follow traffic updates, once the road is closed, on the department’s Nixle, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. “The roads are going to be very congested,” he said at a press conference Monday, October 21. “When it comes to volume, it’s going to be tough. But we’re doing everything we can to be ready.” Representatives from the Princeton Continued on Page 9

Theological Seminary Will Pay $27M For Slavery Reparations Princeton Theological Seminary has announced a commitment of more than $27M to be spent on scholarships, new hires, and a multi-year action plan as “acts of repentance” for its ties to slavery. Amidst a national debate, which has involved presidential candidates, legislators, educational institutions, and others, over what is owed to the descendants of slaves by those who benefited from slavery, last Friday’s announcement was a response to a report published by the Seminary in October 2018 after conducting a two-year historical audit. “The report was an act of confession,” said Dean of Students and Student Relations Vice President John White. “These responses are intended as acts of repentance that will lead to lasting impact within our community. This is the beginning of the process of repair that will be ongoing.” The Seminary’s historical audit on slavery “points to the complexity and contradiction inherent in the Seminary’s story and in our national story,” the report noted. The audit revealed that the Seminary, founded in 1812, did not own slaves, and its buildings were not constructed with slave labor, though it benefited from an economy that “was thoroughly driven by slave labor and production.” There were investments in mid-19th century banks and donors who profited from slavery. Several of the first professors and board members either owned slaves or used slave labor at certain points in their lives. The faculty and many board members were deeply involved in the American Colonization Society, which Continued on Page 12

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 Send Hunger Packing WW-P Program (SHuP WWP), a program of Mercer Street Friends and the West Windsor Arts Council, invite community members to a ribbon cutting for a “Little Free Pantry,” the first of its kind in the area, on Saturday, November 9 at 10 a.m. at the West Windsor Arts Center, 952 Alexander Road. All are invited. Over 100 children in the West Windsor- Plainsboro School District are provided low-cost or free lunches each school day through the National School Lunch Program. The Little Free Pantry will help address food insecurity in the community by making nonperishable foods available to those who need it 24/7. Doreen Garelick, a Board member of the West Windsor Arts Council and a member of the SHuP WW-P Programs, brought the idea of having a Little Free Pantry to the attention of both organizations and prov ided the re-purposed, metal, newspaper box that will serve as the pantry container. “SHuP WW-P selected the West Windsor Arts Council as a partner for this important project because we knew that not only is the location a central hub in our community, but the Arts Council would support this community need and share its creativity to make the pantry a thing of beauty, as well,” she said. Ar tist Ryan Gilleece, a teacher at the West Windsor Arts Council, brought the SHuP WW-P team’s design concept for the box to life with a sketch and oversaw the painting of the box during the West Windsor Arts Council’s recent “Autumn

featured at the 2019-20 Princeton Poetry Festival on October 25 and 26 in the Berlind Theatre at McCarter Theatre Center. Sponsored by Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and one of many events this year marking the 80th anniversary of Princeton’s Program in Creative Writing, this biennial Poetry Festival is free and open to the public, with no tickets required.

TOPICS Of the Town P u lit zer P r i ze - w i n n i ng Princeton University Professor Paul Muldoon, organizer of the festival, emphasized the significance of the international aspect of the event, which will include readings, panel discussions, lectures, and performances by 12 award-winning poets. “In this country we often think we can do it alone,” Muldoon said. “But the fact of the matter is we’re in this together and we have to not only acknowledge that, but put to the forefront the idea that we have a limited time on this planet and we have to work together. And one of the best ways to do this is in the arts.” Recalling how, as a child growing up in Northern Ireland, he read poetry from a wide range of traditions from many different countries, Muldoon noted, “Poets from around the world read each other. Nobody exists in a vacuum. There are very few poets who remain solely in their own traditions.” He added, “Around the world people are going about trying to make sense of things, which is what poetry does.” His travels, Muldoon said, were a significant factor in helping him to bring together the participants in this year’s festival. “I travel a lot,” he stated, “I’m often in far-flung spots throughout the world. I meet other people.” He continued, “One of the most significant aspects of poetry is that it is a worldwide phenomenon. It allows all of us to learn more about an unfamiliar culture ( or even a familiar one )

than any number of history books, sociological studies, documentary films, or reality television shows.” United States poets featured in the festival include Ellen Bass, a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets; Gabrielle Bates, poet, novelist, and cohost of The Poet Salon podcast; Cornelius Eady, poet, playwright, songwriter, and cofounder of the Cave Canem Foundation; Kimiko Hahn, Guggenheim fellow, winner of numerous awards, and president of The Poetr y Continued on Next Page

The international poets highlighting the festival will include Indran Amirthanayagam from Sri Lanka, who writes poetry in five different languages; Lidija Dimkovska, who has published six poetry books, three novels, an American diary, and a short story collection; Jamaican poet Ishion Hutchinson, recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry; Ukrainian-born poet Vasyl Makhno, who won the BBC Book of the Year Award 2015 and whose writings have been translated into 25 languages; and Tommy “Teebs” Pico from the Viejas Indian Reservation of the Kumeyaay nation, winner of a 2018 American Book Award, and finalist for the 2018 Lambda Literary Award With a range of different traditions and languages represented, variety is a very important aspect of this year’s festival, Muldoon noted. In a phone conversation earlier this week, Muldoon emphasized that “everyone is welcome” at the Poetry Festival, and he emphasized the importance of this event and of poetry in general in the contemporary world. “I believe that poetry is a way of trying to keep oneself honest,” he said. “That’s been true for a long time. I like the idea of purifying the dialect of the tribe” — an idea from the French poet Stephane Mallarme, which is echoed in the poetry of T.S. Eliot. Muldoon went on to stress the goal of trying “to be accurate in one’s use of language, not to strain a relationship between words and what they mean. That’s one of the poet’s jobs. It’s the citizen’s job, too. We always need it. In many ways we need it now more than ever.” For more information about the Princeton Poetry Festival and a detailed schedule of readings, discussions, and other events, visit arts.princeton.edu/2019-poetry-fest. —Donald Gilpin

The Senior Center’s flu clinic provided an opportunity to share information about Comfort Partners, one of the state’s programs for home energy efficiency upgrades.

challenges require a multidisciplinary approach to development meaningful solutions, and the humanities must play a major role in those solutions.” Celia emphasized that the PEI “looks forward to welcoming all of our neighbors, both on and off the campus, to share this celebration with us and to learn more about PEI’s activities and accomplishments.” The event is free and open to the public with registration on site or online at https://environment.princeton.edu/pei25/ Sustainable Princeton Meanwhile, Sustainable Princeton ( SP ) has been working with the local community in the implementation of the Princeton Climate Action Plan (CAP). The SP leaders commented on the Environmental Forum. “As it pertains to us on a local level, we’re particularly interested in attending the ‘Getting the Solutions Right’ and ‘Breaking the Logjam: The Way Forward’ panels at the Forum,” they wrote in an email. “Hopefully these sessions will provide practical advice that we can help implement here locally.” SP Executive Director Molly Jones, Program Director Christine Symington, Community Outreach Manager Jenny Ludmer, and Marketing Communications Consultant Ellen Malavsky noted the “wonderful opportunity [at the Forum] to hear from those truly on the front line of these global concerns,” and went on to comment as a team on recent progress they have seen locally. The SP leaders pointed out

significant headway on sustainable initiatives and particularly in people’s thinking on environmental issues. “We are seeing progress and a shift of mindset by key decision makers,” they said. “Sustainable approaches are moving from a ‘nice to have’ concept to the realization that if we are going to leave a habitable planet for future generations, our approach must change.” They cited considerable discussion at last week’s meeting on parking about incentivizing more sustainable behaviors such as biking and car sharing. “It is encouraging that this type of community conversation is moving beyond the current state of things to think forward about how things should be,” they added. Currently, 16 strategies from the CAP are underway, with a particular focus on reducing emissions, including approaches to receiving more residential energy from renewable sources and promoting the development of large-scale solar energy usage. “We’ve also been working with the municipality’s emergency services team to think ahead and better prepare for climate crises, specifically

Police, Princeton’s Department of Emergency and Safety Services, Princeton University, Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, and the Princeton Fire Department met Monday morning to coordinate preparations for the closure. Sutter said the police department’s dispatch staff will be increased and extra officers will be on duty during rush hours for the duration of the project. The detour route posted on the municipal website suggests utilizing Faculty Road, Washington Road, and Route 1. Princeton residents on Basin Street and Karin Court will access their properties via Lawrence Drive for the duration of the construction project. Alexander Street will be open up to the Metro North restaurant. Residents of Lawrence Apartments and patrons of the Springdale Golf Club will have access via Lawrence Drive from Alexander Street. Motorists are urged to use other routes in and out of town, work from home whenever possible, carpool, and take alternative transportation such as the Dinky train. Mayor Liz Lempert said the town is encouraging commuters to use the Dinky to access the Princeton Junction train station or offices on Alexander Road in West Windsor. Tiger Transit buses, which are free, will be available. Extra trips on the Dinky during rush hour have been requested, but NJ Transit has not yet responded Lempert said. At over 70 years old, the bridges are in deteriorating condition and are too narrow for today’s traffic. The

project will include widening the structures, with shoulders and sidewalks added to both sides. From November 6 through December, parking will be free at meters in Princeton’s central business district on weeknights after 6 p.m. The measure, which was recently approved by Princeton Council, is designed to help out merchants during the holiday season, and to encourage people to stay in town until after the evening rush and patronize local restaurants. The NJDOT will have signs along Route 1 advising motorists of traffic and congestion. The Greater Mercer County Transportation Management Association is available to assist with alternative travel options during the closure. They can provide insight and/ or assistance with ride-sharing, telecommuting, and flex hours. Visit https://gmtma. org/ for information. Most of all, the public is urged to exercise patience. “People get scared, frustrated, and angry when they are delayed like they are going to be,” said Sutter. “But they need to avoid aggressive driving. The only thing that’s going to help is patience.” —Anne Levin

Not in Our Town Princeton, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, is an interracial, interfaith social action group united to advance the cause of racial justice. Its forum will emphasize questions around the theme of social justice and equity in the Princeton Public Schools. More than a year has passed since the Princeton Public School Equity Audit Report was issued with its recommendations about Community and Relationship Building, Building Internal Educational Equity Leadership Capacity, Culturally Responsive Teaching and Educational Equity Professional Development, and Recruiting and Retaining a more Diverse Staff. What progress has been made toward achieving these goals? This question, along with questions from the audience, will be posed to three candidates seeking a second term (Debbie Bronfield, Dafna Kendal, and Greg Stankiewicz)

“We hope that this will be an opportunity for the community to truly engage in a conversation around issues of social justice and equity,” says Linda Oppenheim, secretary of the Not in Our Town Princeton board. “Particularly following the release of the Princeton Public Schools’ Equity Audit report, it is important for the community to see where each candidate

The Golden Age of Harlem Comes Alive at McCarter Just under a century ago, Harlem was exploding with artistic and intellectual energy. Musicians, dancers, writers, and artists flocked to the upper Manhat tan neighborhood during The Great Migration of African Americans from south to north. The Harlem Renaissance stretched through the 1920s, launching such legendary entertainers as Duke

Ellington, Fats Waller, Bessie Smith, and Willie “the Lion” Smith. It is this decade of cultural excitement that Michael Mwenso and The Shakes recreate with Harlem 100, a multi-media show coming to McCar ter Theatre on Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. Mwenso wrote the show in collaboration with the National Jazz

CELEBRATING A CULTURAL CENTENNIAL: Vocalist Michael Mwenso brings his group The Shakes to McCarter Theatre on November 6 with “Harlem 100,” a multi-media performance capturing the sights and sounds of Harlem in the 1920s.

Museum in Harlem. “This was a pivotal time for creative spirits — artists, poets, writers, musicians, dancers — to come together at one location, with this amazing body of work,” Mwenso said during a recent telephone conversation. “It was an explosion of creativity that needs to be known and protected.” Mostly, Harlem 100 is a musical celebration. “You’ll hear great music from the time, and also learn a lot about the artists,” said Mwenso. “The songs are arranged in a unique way, done just like they played them. But we put our own spin on it.” There is also dancing, specifically the tap artist Michaela Marino Lerman. “She’s an incredible tap dancer, and was a protege of Gregory Hines,” said Mwenso. “She’ll give that part of Harlem’s history — the relationship between tap and jazz and African Americans. She is an important piece of the puzzle.” Born in Sierra Leone and raised in London, Mwenso “got the music bug” as a child. “I went to a lot of concerts, and I studied piano and learned trombone,” he said. “Music just took hold of me. Eventually, I put the trombone down and became a singer. I was able then to create a community in London, performing at Ronnie Scott’s [a famous jazz club]. Wynton Marsalis saw what was going on, and he asked me to work with Jazz at Lincoln Center. Then, The Shakes grew out of the community I created there.” Harlem was, unquestionably, the focus of the cultural

explosion of African American artists in the 1920s. Covering just three square miles, it drew nearly 175,000 African Americans during The Great Migration, giving the neighborhood the largest concentration of black people in the world. The area attracted African Americans of all backgrounds, from unskilled laborers to an educated middle-class. Anxious to forge a new identity as free people, they shared common experiences of slavery, emancipation, and racial oppression. But the cultural renaissance was not limited to New York Cit y. “It was happening all over,” said Mwenso, “anywhere black people were trying to raise themselves up. Places like Pittsburgh, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Chicago all had similar things going on. But Harlem was special, because you had these geniuses like Duke Ellington and Bessie Smith.” Mwenso and other members of The Shakes live in Harlem. “We’re all in a 20-minute radius of one another,” he said. “For us, it really means a lot to live in the place we’re talking about. It makes it personal.” Mwenso hosts the show, and other members of the cast speak as well. The evening features the music of Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, and Ethel Waters, accompanied by a nine-piece band. Three dancers round out the cast. “It’s a celebration of knowledge and achievement,” said Mwenso. “We hope you leave knowing a bit more and feeling uplifted.” —Anne Levin

Third Person Charged in Illegal Dumping Case On October 18, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office announced that a third person has been indicted in the investigation into illegal dumping at the River Road facility. Frank Casole, employed by Princeton as an equipment operator, was charged with bribery. His position has been terminated as a result of his own admissions, according to Princeton Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield. This past June, Princeton municipal sewer department employee Thomas Hughes was charged with bribery for allegedly accepting bribes in exchange for allowing the dumping of waste materials at the facility. Last month, Pantelis Kounelias, who owns an Edison construction firm, was also charged. Casole is accused of having knowledge of Hughes’ bribe, and also allegedly helping to record and conceal the crime by accounting and comingling construction waste with other waste so it would not be discovered.

Allegedly, Kounelias paid Hughes approximately $3,000 to allow him to dump soil excavated from the Mary Moss Playground site in Princeton. The cases against both men are pending. Kounelias is scheduled to appear in court on October 30, while Hughes’ next court appearance is November 20. Casole is scheduled to appear in Mercer County Superior Court October 31. According to Dashield, “Princeton has been and remains committed to a full and thorough investigation of improper dumping at River Road to ensure all individuals involved in inappropriate or illegal activities are held to account.” Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri said that the charges are the result of an investigation by the Economic Crime Unit (ECU). The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the ECU at (609) 989-6365. —Anne Levin

Bronfeld Understands the Need To Be Fiscally Responsible

Candidates Sacks and Lambros Have Proven Track Records

This year we have contested elections at the local level — both for Council and Board of Education and the State Assembly. It’s incumbent upon each of us to do our due diligence and carry out our duty in selecting those who will best represent our principles and defend the public interest. My vote for Council will go to Mia and Michelle. We are fortunate to have engaged local residents like them, willing to work for a more open, fair, thriving, and inclusive community by implementing policies to make housing more affordable and to lower taxes on low and middle income residents; to proactively plan, administer, and guide our local resources; to be our voice at the county and state levels; to work collaboratively with the Board of Education and Princeton University; and to be held accountable for the efficient and sustainable delivery of municipal services. Mia and Michelle bring proven track records of commitment to goal setting and achievement, extensive community service in leadership roles, willingness to consider new options and push the envelope, and success in their respective fields. Each brings expertise in key areas (such as public policy and business) that will enrich the existing mix of perspectives in Council. On November 5, I urge my neighbors to vote for Mia and Michelle.

Jewish Center Expresses Thanks to Princeton Police

To the Editor: As a representative of the Jewish community of Princeton, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. According to our tradition, the world was created 5,780 years ago and we have just celebrated two major holidays to mark this time in our calendar. Both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are unique days that include rituals and prayers — apples with honey and casting away our sins of the past as we move into the future. Among the prayers that we recited at The Jewish Center this year was a special prayer for our country and our community when I acknowledged both the challenges of anti-Semitism and the gratitude we have for those who support us as we fight against these and other acts of hatred. We are proud to be a part of a greater community that accepts us for who we are and that allows us to worship and come together for special occasions.

In my years in Princeton, it has been my privilege to get to know many Princeton Police officers on a personal basis and each time I speak with an officer, I am impressed with their warmth and caring nature.

Check her record! With Debbie on the Board, our tax money has a steward with an eye on how public education benefits our community and our future. Debbie participated on the finance committee that recommended solutions to manage increasing health care costs, but instead the Board voted to increase the tax levy by almost $500,000. Keeping the school’s community in mind, she has asked for a technology plan versus approving piecemeal technology investments. The December referendum allowed for facility and building upgrades in our schools. Debbie did not approve the contractor’s bid that the board approved, which was not only over budget but resulted in Riverside opening a day late. And finally, she voted against hiring a consultant to work on a feasibility study for harmonizing resources between the school and the town. She believes that our town and Board don’t need to pay $30K, as that is part of the committee’s responsibility. Looking forward, Debbie will focus on the budget, student climate and culture, and facilities. Having her on the Board, she brings experience in both corporate America and notfor-profit organizations. This breadth of experience informs her view on how we can stay within our means, provide a fantastic experience for all students, and be responsible for maintaining and improving the historic integrity of our facilities while offering a modern educational experience for students, teachers, and staff.

Susan Kanter Brings New Voice, Positive Approach to the Board

To the Editor: On November 5, Princeton residents will vote for three candidates for School Board, and we urge you to vote for Susan Kanter. Susan offers the very special combination of a fresh new voice on the Board of Education, while also bringing extensive relevant school experience from more than a decade of volunteering as PTO co-president in the high school and PTO treasurer in the middle school. In these capacities, with her positive approach to problem solving, Susan developed strong working relationships with PTO presidents from all the local schools, as well as with teachers, parents, students, administrators, and even School Board members. We cannot think of a person who is better qualified to bring a new, positive, and informed perspective to School Board deliberations than Susan. Susan’s personal qualities make her especially suited to School Board work. She is an excellent listener, easy to work with, and a doer; she will not leave a meeting without followup action items. She sees the big picture, but is never afraid of rolling up her sleeves and getting into the details. Susan is open-minded, professional, and possesses a well-practiced and much-needed ability to work productively with other people — even those with views on important issues that may differ from her own. Lastly, Susan genuinely cares about the community; she cares about the students and she models the mission of the district by bringing joy and purpose to her work every single day. Please join us in casting a vote for Susan Kanter on November 5!

Endorsing Kendal, Bronfeld For Board of Education

To the Editor: Voters who believe that more money and buildings will solve the schools’ problems are the voters most apt to turn out on November 5. Your vote can help change that. Princeton schools need a BoE majority that will determine the reasons for PPS’s continuing budget shortfalls. A Board’s job is to lead, not to follow. BoE members must seek, and find, real alternatives. Of all four candidates (for only three seats), Dafna Kendal and Deb Bronfeld are the most likely. To those who say, “The schools can’t wait,” note that enrollment numbers will not be known until: 1. The judge’s final rules on Affordable Housing are announced publicly. 2. Public hearings are held and evaluated. 3. The town opens bids. 4. Construction is completed (AvalonBay took more than two years to be built, much less affect enrollment). 5. The Mt Laurel rules require only that building be made possible through zoning changes, and allows ten years to build. 6. Until the town re-zones, and site plans are presented, it won’t even be clear which schools we need to expand. 7. Thus expansion can wait at least until the current debt is paid, in 2023. Likewise another bond referendum. Meanwhile, however, the BoE may want that $107M balance anyway — so it can also buy Westminster. If this would mean closing Westminster, is that the best outcome, when we don’t even know that school expansion is needed? If PPS does have to expand, should Westminster disappear, or could buying just a portion (for much less than $40M) solve both its problem and ours? The BoE is once again planning behind its closed doors — while paying another consultant $90K-$140K to teach it “how to listen to the community.” What will it take to get them to listen — not just to the school community, but the entire community? Having attended many of BoE’s committee and full meetings, and now personally interviewed each of the four candidates, I plan to vote for the only two candidates with the guts to question PPS’s excesses — Dafna Kendal and Deb Bronfeld: Dafna for her willingness to hear, and Deb for her insistently protesting spending that makes no sense. Neither candidate is the choice of the school establishment. One further thought: Get out and vote for Zwicker and Freiman for NJ Assembly. These thoughtful Dems represent another majority for whom full support is essential. MARY CLURMAN Harris Road

Ex-Mayor Miller Supporting Zwicker, Freiman, Lambros

To The Editor: On November 5, the voters of Princeton will have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote in what has been characterized as an “off-year” election. The very phrase “off-year” has a negative connotation, implying that an off-year election is of lesser importance. Nothing could be further from the truth. While the Democratic Party is running excellent candidates who deserve our support for the positions of Mercer County Executive and Mercer County Freeholder, Princeton is located in New Jersey Assembly District 16 where we are represented by Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker and Assemblyman Roy Freiman, both Democrats. Historically, the 16th is a district that had not been represented by Democrats. This was changed by the support, and especially by the turnout of Princeton voters. Only by achieving another large turnout of Democratic voters can we assure the re-election of Andrew Zwicker and Roy Freiman to the New Jersey State Assembly. The election of two new Council members in this “off year” election on November 5 is of crucial importance to the future of Princeton. In addition to ongoing issues such as affordable housing, negotiations for a new voluntary contribution agreement with Princeton University, parking and maintaining a stock of middle income housing, Council will also have to deal with a problem that could have long-term effects on our central business district. While many of our businesses are already stressed by changing consumer buying habits and increasing rents, the closure of Alexander Road between Route 1 and Princeton for necessary bridge replacement will create a “perfect traffic storm” that will make it more difficult for people who live west and south of Princeton to come to town to attend events, shop, or enjoy a meal. Both of the Democratic candidates for Council are well prepared to serve through experience that they have gained by working in a volunteer capacity in our community. However, only Michelle Pirone Lambros has extensive experience as a small business entrepreneur and business owner that positions her well to understand the needs of our business community. Michelle is especially well qualified to work with the business community, and the other stakeholders in the central business district, to help Council understand the actions that it can take to lessen the impacts of the bridge closures during the many months that Alexander Road access to Princeton is closed. Vote in person on November 5 or be sure to return your vote by mail ballot. You’ll find all of the Democratic candidates in Column A. Don’t be deterred by claims that this is an “off-year” election and not important. Key races in this election can be won or lost by voter turnout in Princeton. Vote Democratic and help continue a government that works on behalf of all of us in the New Jersey Assembly, Mercer County, and especially in our hometown, Princeton. BERNARD P. MILLER Governors Lane

Background in Finance Qualifies Stankiewicz for Return to Board

To the Editor: We are writing to enthusiastically support the re-election of Greg Stankiewicz for Princeton’s Board of Education. One of Greg’s priorities is to strengthen the school district’s finances — a task for which he is well prepared because of his strong background in public finance. Greg worked as a budget specialist at the NJ Office of Management and Budget and wrote his Ph.D. dissertation at Princeton on state and local finance. Greg’s knowledge and experience are particularly important right now because the Board of Education may once again face tough decisions when planning next year’s budget, due to rising enrollments and the continual underfunding of the district by the state. In his tenure on the Board, Greg has focused on ways to increase revenues and reduce costs for the district. He supported and helped facilitate the hiring of a firm to evaluate how the district and municipality can most efficiently share services. He also encouraged the district to join a coalition that convinced the legislature to provide additional state aid for extraordinary special education costs, which resulted in Princeton receiving an additional $1.7 million this year. Going forward, Greg is championing state legislation, introduced by Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, which would result in the state directly funding charter schools, freeing up $6.5 million a year for Princeton Public Schools’ budget, while keeping the charter school fiscally whole. This work is not and cannot be done alone. Greg is capable of bringing people together, and gathering and synthesizing a variety of perspectives to put a plan into action. He is calm under pressure and is willing to put in the hard work and long hours because he believes deeply that all students must receive the best education possible. The Board of Education is most effective when they work together. Greg’s respect of others, positive attitude, and dedication will ensure that the School Board has the opportunity to be successful in its mission to support all of our students. Please join us in voting for Greg Stankiew icz on November 5. AMY CRAFT, CARRIE AND DOUG ELWOOD Poe Road CHRISTINA WALDEN Dodds Lane

“Savage Feast” Author journalist who has written for The Washington Post, The Reading at Library

Boris Fishman, author of Savage Feast: Three Generations, Two Continents, and a Dinner Table (Harper), will be in the Community Room at the Princeton Public Library on Thursday, October 24, at 7 p.m. The event is part of the Fall Storytelling series. Writing in the Washington Post, Michale Dirda calls Savage Feast “a work of reminiscence and celebration that should appeal to a wide range of readers. If you like books about affectionate, colorful families, imagine Irving Howe’s World of Our Fathers mixed with Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey’s Cheaper by the Dozen. If you’re a fan of food memoirs, you’ll want to shelve it near M.F.K. Fisher’s The Art of Eating and A.J.

Library Live at Labyrinth will present Ross Kenneth Urken discussing his book, Another Mother (Ian Randle Publishers) on Wednesday, October 30 at 6 p.m. According to Kirkus Reviews, “Urken’s resonant debut memoir doubles as a biographical tribute to Dezna Sanderson, the ‘Jamaican Mary Poppins’ who helped raise him for over a decade.... Urken writes with clarity and intense focus about his indebtedness to Sanderson, who was ‘like a protective buffer,’ and he shares many treasured memories of their time together....The author’s memories and descriptions of Sanderson are aptly adulatory in honoring a cherished, compassionate caregiver who, in large part, is responsible for the man he has become today. A memorable hybrid of heartfelt memoir and fond commemoration framed in Caribbean history, familial turmoil, and unconditional maternal love.” Ross Kenneth Urken is a

Life in Sports and Sports in Life with Red Holzman and the Knicks

W

ith the World Series in the air and Princeton resident Mort Zachter’s biography of legendary New York Knicks coach Red Holzman on my bedside table, I’ve been thinking a lot about baseball and basketball this week. The Open Sesame to Zachter’s book, however, was Holzman’s wife Selma, “a girl from Brooklyn without any pretenses,” who was also “loving, kind, thoughtful, generous, genuine, funny, and interesting,” could “see through phonies, and didn’t suffer fools.” While Holzman “tended to be guarded in what he said publicly, Selma spoke her mind.” Zachter rounds out the chapter starring the coach’s wife of 55 years (“The Best Thing I Ever Did In My Life”) with some anecdotes too lengthy to be quoted here, unless you count the one about how whenever she “learned one of her husband’s Knicks players had a cold, she prepared homemade chicken soup for him.” Admittedly, my chicken-soup soft spot for Holzman’s wife is due to my fondness for her namesake from Queens, who shared the same qualities along with an ability to make the culinary equivalent of a three-point shot from mid-court every time she cooked a meal. Our friend Selma, our son’s godmother, died ten years ago September, a year after Selma Holzman. Kitchen Hoops I could have used some coaching in the kitchen the other night. Making gougère (defined by wikipedia as “a puff of choux pastry flavored with cheese”) should have been a slam dunk. The basic game plan laid out by Coach Craig Claiborne, formerly of the New York Times, usually sees me through, but not when the flour sifter’s jammed, it’s crunch time, the clock’s running out, I’m losing, falling behind, furiously cranking the lever, shaking the sifter, particles of flour falling like snow all around me as I sift and sift and sift for 10 minutes, a full-court press that’s making me dizzy, the coach shouting at me (like Red Holzman in full roar on the cover of the book), “Keep sifting! You need a full cup!” No use, even though the batter’s gloppy, I spoon it on to the baking pan and stick it in the oven 15 minutes late as my wife storms into the kitchen (“What’s taking so long?”), sees the state of play, and grimly throws together her own meal. Ah, but the mess in the oven makes a golden comeback, I eat it and it’s good. Even a half-risen gougère is better than nothing. A day later when my wife’s speaking to me again, she says, “Who needs a sifter? Nobody uses sifters any more!” It’s good to know that Holzman’s Selma also questioned coaching moves she didn’t like, saying “Why did you play that guy [cook that gougère] for so long?” When he’d say oth-

erwise, she’d say, “You played him for an hour.” There goes the buzzer. Game over. Just Kids I grew up in the pandemonium of Indiana basketball rightly known as Hoosier Hysteria. Since I spent grades 4 through 6 in a two-room schoolhouse with no athletic facilities (and no indoor toilets), I was bussed with my classmates to sectional showdowns in high-school gyms packed-to-the rafters booming with a noise level equal to a galeforce wind. Moving into town for junior high, I teamed up with one of the tallest kids in 7th grade for dozens of two-ontwo basketball games played on the asphalt court behind a fraternity house. We called ourselves the Mercurys and according to the careful records we kept, we lost only twice, a feat mainly accomplished by my ability to get the ball to my friend, who had a virtually unstoppable hook shot. The most remarkable thing about the makeshif t, spontaneous games of basketball, baseball and football I played with kids from the neighborhood was the absence of adults: no pressuring from parents or coaches. Once we moved on to organized athletics in high school, the joy of playing, the simple Huck Finn innocence of it, was gone. By sophomore year, I was covering sports for the school paper and my former teammate was playing varsity basketball. Coaches The only college coaches I saw in action were the tall, austere, greyhaired, bespectacled Branch McCracken, who led the Hurrying Hoosiers to two NCAA championships, and the red-sweatered, notor iously hands - on B obby K night whose I.U. teams captured three titles in a ten-year span before he was fired. I only saw Knight on television, but that was enough to bring back the old adolescent sinking feeling — what Huck Finn called the fan-tods — caused by the intrusion of a bullying adult. One thing that made me curious about Zachter’s book was the fire and fury suggested by the cover photo, captioned inside, “The often even-keeled Holzman shouts

disapproval of [a] referee’s decision as the Knicks lose Game Four of the Eastern Division finals against the Boston Celtics on April 13, 1969, putting them down three games to one.” Zachter offsets the image of the fire-breather not only with reference to his marriage but by quoting testimonials from various players as well as articles like the one linking his success to the fact that he gave his players “a boost, was sensiitive and thoughtful of their feelings, left them with their dignity, and even when being critical did so with an underpinning of humor.” Enter Bill Bradley A few pages later Zachter explores Holzman’s handling of the rivalry between Cazzie Russell and his Knicks teammate, former Princeton All-American Bill Bradley. “Red had to play the role of Solomon, deciding who started and who sat. In practice, Bradley and Russell went hard at each other, but Holzman was the real target of their frustration.” Zachter goes on to quote from Bradley’s Life On the Run: “I had never felt about anyone in my life the way I did about Red .... If he wanted to keep me on the bench forever he could. It’s always the tyranny of the unspoken. I feel helpless before his power over my life.” I found those last sentences among the most stunning in the book. Since it’s hard to think of Bradley without reference to John McPhee’s A Sense Of Where You Are (a connection Zachter makes), I had another look at my column from January 2006, which begins with a hypothetical storyline taking Bradley from a small town in Missouri to basketball stardom, politics, and the presidency. I thought McPhee’s profile illustrated “the qualities that make the storyline credible as well as the virtues that would have worked against Bradley’s achievement of the ultimate goal. It’s probably too easy to say that his decency got in the way, but given the nature of the Democratic primary process, it had to have been a factor. While the Princeton hero described by McPhee might have felt the requisite ‘fire in the belly’ when the game was on the line, he was more often the consummate team player, as bril-

liant and motivated a passer as he was a shooter. Even his sportsmanlike attitude (referees respected him) could be read as a political liability. No showing off, no glorymongering, no compulsion to become his own lobbyist.” Samuel Hynes Reading about Holzman, I found myself thinking of teachers as coaches, and of how the closest to a great coach I ever saw in action was the I.U. English professor — a red-headed grown-up Huck Finn from Virginia named Jim Cox — who brought American literature to life for us, put it in play, made it real. Which may be why a quote in Sunday’s New York Times obituary for Princeton professor emeritus and author Samuel Hynes, who died October 10, caught my attention: “I loved him, and I loved what he made us study.” So said Leonard Barkan, a Princeton professor of comparative literature who recalls taking a freshman course from Hynes and proudly turning in his first paper, “which was returned with a C+ and a very brief comment: ‘No thesis, no argument, hence no paper.’” In The Unsubstantial Air: American Fliers in the First World War (Farrar Straus and Giroux $26), Hynes points out that the romance of being a fighter pilot in the Great War was viewed by young men, many of them from Ivy League schools, as “wonderful sport,” “a glorious sport,” “the best game over here,” “the sporty side of war.” Hynes, who flew 68 combat missions as a Marine pilot in World War II, puts it in perspective: “They’re right …. Only in the air will small groups of players acting together oppose other small groups — like two football teams. But to make the big game analogy really work, you’d have to imagine a Harvard-Yale game in which both teams are armed with lethal weapons. In that game the players would not simply be athletes; they’d be gamblers, taking risks with their own lives.” Sports and Life hat passage from Hynes suggests a term usually associated with basketball: the “sudden death” overtime. Imagine imposing such language, however casually, on kids playing free on paved courts and sandlots. Welcome to the unreal reality of baseball, where the Yankees fall from the heights of a 100-win season to the depths of a sudden-death loss to the Astros. So there’s a kind of consolation for Cardinal fans like myself who lived through an erratic season crowned with a division championship and a backfrom-the-brink play-off victory, only to be swept by the Nationals. Hey, it’s better than nothing. It still tastes good. Sort of like a half-risen gougère. —Stuart Mitchner

MUSIC REVIEW

Princeton University Orchestra Begins Season With Resounding Percussion Concerto

T

hings must have been lively in the Louisville, Kentucky, home in which Princeton University sophomore Elijah Shina grew up. He may well have been the kind of child that found rhythm in every empty box or can in the house and saw a potential drum on every surface he touched. These are the children who grow up to be great percussionists, and Shina has brought his great sense of inner rhythm to Princeton University and to the University Orchestra’s opening concerts this past weekend. A co-winner of the Princeton University Orchestra 2019 Concerto Competition, Shina showed virtuosic agility on a myriad of percussion instruments in a 20th-century concerto demonstrating a wide range of orchestral colors and effects. Concertos for percussion were unusual in 20th-century American music. Chicago-born Joseph Schwantner, intrigued by the infinite array of timbres and sonorities available in an orchestral percussion section, composed the 1995 Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra on commission from the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York for the New York Philharmonic’s 150th anniversary. The resulting work, performed by the University Orchestra this past Friday and Saturday nights, was a musical collaboration between soloist and ensemble demanding the highest level of skills and techniques from an entire section of percussionists, not just the soloist. This past weekend’s University Orchestra performances were a commemorative tribute to composer, theorist, and former University professor Peter Westergaard, with whom Michael Pratt had collaborated on numerous musical productions. In this first Peter Westergaard Concert, Friday night’s performance of the Princeton University Orchestra in Richardson Auditorium was as much visual as aural; the stage was jampacked with instrumentalists, and Shina’s solo role required his moving among locations on the stage. The fact that the Princeton music department has access to so many instruments was remarkable enough, but University Orchestra conductor Michael Pratt had assembled more than 100 players onstage in the ensemble. The orchestration for this work included such familiar percussion instruments as timpani and drums, but also featured obscure instruments and treatments, including multiple marimbas and xylophones, ancient cymbals, and a small gong which was dipped in water as it was played. Shina began the Concerto at the rear of the stage, amidst three other percussionists and a timpanist. Playing first on the bass drum, Shina moved easily among numerous instruments, often with very little time to spare. When all four percussionists played together, the musical

effect was like thunder, and the multiple keyboard percussion instruments playing both similar and contrasting lines simultaneously created a musical palette of raining glass notes. Shina moved to the front of the stage for the Concerto’s second movement, playing an amplified vibraphone, a twooctave set of crotales (antique cymbals), eight almglocken (tuned cowbells) and a water gong — a small gong immersed in a tub of water while being played which created a variety of overtones. The crotales produced harmonics ringing high into the space of Richardson Auditorium, and the audience was able to get a close view of Shina’s strength in his arms and wrists as he executed a heartbeat motif on the bass drum and sending the recurrent sonorities from the vibraphone out into the hall. The lower strings and brass of the Orchestra opened the Concerto’s third movement in an ominous character, with the percussion sound augmented by tambourine and woodblocks. This piece would not work if the rhythm was not exact, and Shina and all the musicians of the Orchestra were precise and meticulous in the complex meters and patterns. So in control of the solo part was Shina that when a drum stick accidentally flew out of his hand, he reached for another without missing a microsecond of rhythm. Shina showed his command of more delicate music with an encore of a Bach keyboard work elegantly played on the marimba, well replicating all the colors of a church organ from Bach’s time. The Orchestra continued its tribute to Westergaard with a solid performance of Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E minor, a work which made full use of the large sections of violas, celli, and double basses in the ensemble. Opening the Symphony in a fairly quick tempo, Pratt and the Orchestra presented the four-movement work as refreshing yet dramatic, with a majestic full sound. Wind solos throughout the piece added a clean and light Viennese touch to the music, including from oboist Ethan Petno, clarinetist Hanson Kang, and flutist Nicholas Ioffreda. Dotted rhythms in the closing movement were especially precise, and a trio of well-blended trombones played chorale-like passages with reverence, leading to a decisive close well punctuated by timpani. n these opening concerts of the new season, the Princeton University Orchestra not only paid tribute to an esteemed figure in the University’s musical history, but also suggested that if the beginning of the season is at this high a level, one can only imagine where the Orchestra goes from here. —Nancy Plum

Photography, Poetry Join Forces for Exhibit

Photography and poetry come together for a singular experience at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC) James Kerney Campus Gallery (JKCG), when two lifelong friends put their work on display in the exhibit “Pequeña Hoguera — Blaze,” on view through November 12. An opening reception and artist talk, via Skype, will be held on Wednesday, October

The title of the exhibit, with its reference to fire, is designed to evoke images of first a tiny spark, which can grow to a flame, Martos said. She goes on to explain that the embodiment of this concept in an artistic form — which melds two distinct genres — is designed to mirror our personal perceptions, and reflects the blurring of lines between the spiritual and the physical. “There is a breath, a spark that keeps us growing, that

moves us continuously,” Martos said. “Even in the coldest periods, small flames feed the inner life. From there arise our images, which find each other in a natural, spontaneous way.” General JKCG hours are Monday and Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., or by appointment. For more information, visit www.mccc.edu/jkcgallery. Continued on Page 24

23, from 5 to 7 p.m. at JKCG, located in MCCC’s Trenton Hall, 137 North Broad Street in Trenton, across the street from the James Kerney Building. The event is free and open to the public. “Verónica Sanchis Bencomo and Cristina Gálvez Martos met in the fourth grade a little over 20 years ago,” said Michael Chovan-Dalton, JKCG gallery director. “As their adult lives took different paths to different places — Verónica went on to study photography and Cristina studied literature — they began to correspond with each other through the mail by sending each other their work.” Dalton explains that while Bencomo was creating photographs during her travels throughout the United Kingdom, New York, and Hong Kong, Martos was writing poetry in Caracas, Parque del Plata, and Montevideo. And even though they were separated by thousands of miles, a connection persisted. “What they were sending to each other revealed similar experiences and a translation of their lives that seems rooted in their shared identity and friendship,” Chovan-Dalton said. “Pequeña Hoguera – Blaze” refers to a transmutation process and is designed to be a dialogue of sensibilities, according to Bencomo and Martos. Martos composed her poems over a period of time, while Bencomo’s photos where conceived together, with the union of the two art forms giving rise to an understanding of their respective works. “It would be a lie to say we made a great effort to shape this encounter of photographs and poems; the relationship between each other was already present almost tacitly,” Bencomo said. “We just had to readjust a little, make some choices, discard, include, polish. Once again, our dialogue had a life of its own.”

“MR. DOOLEY’S”: Paintings by Sean Carney are featured in “Where the Light Is,” on view at The Center for Collaborative History, Princeton University, 113 Dickinson Hall, October 25 through December 13. An artist’s reception is Thursday, November 7 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Gallery hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Not Resting on Laurels from Superb 2018-19 Season, Princeton Women’s Hockey Psyched for Big Winter

W

ith the Princeton University women’s hockey team coming off a landmark campaign last winter that saw it produce a programrecord 20-game unbeaten streak, win the Ivy League title, and rise to No. 4 in the national rankings, the Tigers are chomping at the bit to get the 2019-20 season underway. “The preseason is a little longer than last year,”said Princeton head coach Cara Morey, who guided the Tigers to a 20-8-5 record last season and a spot in the NCAA tournament where they fell 5-2 to Minnesota. “I think the girls are anxious to get started and get into some meaningful games.” As sixth-ranked Princeton opens its season this weekend by hosting Syracuse for a two-game set on October 25 and 26, Morey is cautioning her players that they can’t rest on their laurels. “We just have to keep reminding them that things don’t come easily,” said Morey. “The expectations are different this year, and that means it is time to work even harder.” Princeton’s trio of star forwards — sophomores Sarah Fillier (22 goals and 35 assists in 2018-19) and Maggie Connors (26 goals, 17 assists), along

with senior Carly Bullock (21 goals, 22 assists) — will make things hard on its foes. “Sarah looks great. With Hockey Canada bringing her back this summer, she keeps elevating her game,” said Morey of Fillier, the national Rookie of the Year who was named to the Canadian National Wo m e n ’s D e v e l o p m e n t Team this summer along with Connors and Tiger senior defenseman Claire Thompson. “Maggie has a whole other speed to her. She looks really fast and physically stronger than last year. Bullock just has that poise with the puck. She can pick corners, she can really snipe. She has been a leader off the ice, too. She is really setting the tone and helping the younger players adjust.” With a solid core of returners of junior Annie MacDonald (5 goals, 11 assists), junior Sharon Frankel (4 goals, 12 assists), junior Sarah Verbeek (6 goals, 5 assists), and junior Shannon Griffin (4 goals, 5 assists) along with some promising freshmen in Annie Kuehl, Catherine Kerin, Daniella Calabrese, and Emma Kee, Princeton should have plenty of offensive firepower this winter. “We have a lot of depth this year which is great,”

said Morey. “Building the lineup is tricky this year because there is not much of a drop off. You have the top three forwards who produce a lot of goals and the rest are just all really hard working; they can all bring offense, they can all play defense.” Morey is looking to senior star Thompson (9 goals, 19 assists) to spearhead the defensive unit. “Claire just keeps getting better; she is at a point where we expect her to be a leader in the back,” said Morey. “She is our captain. She is playing so fast and so confidently that managing risk/reward will be the main thing we need to work on.” With a blue line crew of sophomore Mariah Keopple (3 goals, 11 assists), senior Sylvie Wallin (6 assists), sophomore Chloe Harvey (5 assists) together with freshmen Kate Monihan, Stef Wallace, and Solveig Neunzert, Morey has a lot of confidence in that unit. “I think our defenders this year are going to be really tough for other teams to play against,” said Morey. “All three of our freshmen look really strong and all of our returners look strong. I think the d-corps is outstanding right now.” Princeton boasts a strong

“As a portfolio manager for Glenmede, I am often on the move and do a lot of traveling. I’m also an overall pretty active and healthy guy. I’ve had my share of episodes of neck pain, back pain and shoulder issues through the years but the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center have always fixed me up quickly and given me the tools to stay healthy. I don’t know where I’d be without the docs at Princeton Spine and Joint Center and I’m happy to trust them to keep me active and pain-free into the future. I’ve sent many friends and family to them through the years and they’ve all had the same positive experience. In the end, it’s all about positive outcomes and I’ve never experienced anything but that through Princeton Spine and Joint Center. If you or a loved one are in pain, you really should give them a call.”

SPEED SKATING: Princeton University women’s hockey player Sarah Fillier races up the ice in a game last winter in her freshman season. Star forward Fillier tallied 57 points on 22 goals and 35 assists in 2018-19 on the way to getting named as the national Rookie of the Year and earning All-American honors. Princeton, currently ranked sixth nationally, opens its 2019-20 season by hosting Syracuse for a two-game set on October 25 and 26. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) group of goalies in senior Steph Neatby (1.98 goals against average, .929 save percentage in 201819), junior Rachel McQuigge (1.88 GAA, .927 save pct.), and sophomore Cassie Reale (1.50 GAA, .936 save pct.) “All three of them are playing great,” said Morey. “It is going to be a gameby-game decision. All three of them can win against a lot of teams. We don’t have a clear cut starter at the moment. They push each other at practice and challenge our forwards to make them better.”

In Morey’s view, a key challenge for Princeton will be to stay in the present and not get caught up in the hype. “The key is to remember our culture and our values,” said Morey. “We need to play the way we have always played and not get wrapped up in rankings and not worry about thinking down the road. It is really taking it one step at a time and playing to our identity, which is work ethic, energy, and attitude. If we can continue to play with our values in the back of our minds, we will be

OK. We can’t get ahead of ourselves.” The Tigers will take that first step when they welcome Syracuse (0-7) to Hobey Baker Rink for the opening two-game set. “It is going to be a tough weekend. Syracuse is very physical and really strong,” said Morey. “They can wear teams down and can literally beat you up. We have to be smart and make the puck work. We have to play with a lot of speed so they can’t outmuscle us and rough us up.” —Bill Alden


Serving as the offensive coordinator for the Princeton University football program from 2010-16, James Perry played a key role in turning the Tigers into a scoring juggernaut. Installing a no-huddle, uptempo system, Perry helped Princeton win the Ivy league title in 2013, averaging a league record 43.7 points. Three years later, the Tigers won another league crown, scoring 34.6 points a contest. So with Perry taking the helm of his alma mater Brown this season after two years guiding Bryant program, there figured to be some offensive fireworks when Princeton traveled to Providence, R.I. last

Saturday to take on the Bears. “We knew they are a really good offense, James does a great job of coordinating,” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace. “His nephew [E.J.Perry] is their quarterback and he is dynamic. I can’t recall facing a guy who can run as well as he does and throw as well as he does. They are very deep at receiver and they play at tempo.” Brown set the tempo early, putting together a 75-yard scoring march as it took a 6-0 lead but the Tigers responded with 17 unanswered points. Early in the second quarter Brown culminated another 75-yard drive to score and make it a 17-12 game.

JACOB’S LADDER: Princeton University football player Jacob Birmelin heads upfield in recent action. Last Saturday at Brown, junior receiver Birmelin produced a career day, making 12 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns as Princeton pulled away to a 65-22 win over the Bears. The Tigers, who improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 Ivy League in extending their winning streak to 15, host Harvard (4-1 overall, 2-0 Ivy) on October 26. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

But at that point, Princeton seized control of the contest, outscoring the Bears 34-7 over the rest of the quarter to take a 51-19 lead at halftime and never looked back on the way to a 65-22 victory. The passing combination of senior quarterback Kevin Davidson to junior receiver Jacob Birmelin fueled the second quarter surge as the Tigers improved to 5-0 overall, 2-0 Ivy League and extended their winning streak to 15. Davidson hit Birmelin with a 28-yard scoring strike to put Princeton up 24-12 and then found him again for a three-yard TD in the waning moments of the quarter as the Tigers extend their lead to 51-19. Davidson ended the game hitting on 27-of-35 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns while Birmelin produced a career day with 12 catches for 186 yards and two TDs along with 61 yards on three punt returns. “Kevin did a really good job managing the game and making the right decisions and making some big time throws,” said Surace. “Jacob was left on a few occasions in situations where he was going to get the ball and he got open. A couple of times, he made guys miss in space and turned 15-yard gains into 30-yard gains. He has played well all year. All of the receivers, whether it has been Andre [Iosivas] against Butler, Griff [Andrew Griffin] against Bucknell and [Dylan] Classi with the huge catch against Columbia, have had their moments.” The Princeton ground attack had some good moments on Saturday as it piled up 255 yards on 46 carries with senior Tyler Campbell gaining 91, sophomore Trey Gray getting 73 and senior Ryan Quigley had 44 with three touchdowns “We used a lot of guys, we ran a lot of plays offensively,” said Surace. “We had the ball a lot and they all ran really hard. Ryan continues to play well. Tyler had good runs; he has 37 yards on a fourth and one in the second quarter. Trey had a really good game as well. They really complemented each other, it was great to see.” On defense, the Tigers settled in, holding Brown to 10 points over the last 44:07 of the contest. “It is a really hard team to game plan against,” said Surace. “If you go all out to pressure this quarterback, he scrambles. He was averaging 93 yards a game rushing and most of those yards were on scrambles. He is so dynamic, we had to be lane conscious. As the game went on, we were able to get a little more pressure and make the throws a little more challenging. You go on the bus and you have a headache after playing them.” Tiger junior defensive lineman Sam Wright proved to be a headache for Brown, ending the day with a team-high seven tackles and one sack. “Sam has made one of the biggest leaps; he was such a tremendous athlete when he came to us but he really struggled with the technical side of the game,” said Surace. “Last year, we found a really good role for him and he did very well. This year, he made the jump from being a guy who was in a role that played well to where we are watching him get better every day. He is as dy-

namic a defensive lineman that I have had since I have been here. He has some physical gifts..and the technical side, the mental side is starting to improve. He is really coming on.” With a dynamic Harvard team (4-1 overall, 2-0 Ivy) coming to Princeton this Saturday, Surace knows that his squad will need to make a jump to overcome the Crimson. This is the 10th time since I have been here that we have played them; they have got a Hall of Fame coach [Tim Murphy], they recruit well, they are balanced, they have talent, they make big plays,” said Surace of Harvard which is averaging 38.6 points a game. “Their quarterback [Jake Smith] is a three-year starter. He makes great decisions, he has been very accurate. He is a good athlete. You are looking at a team where you are never surprised that they are good and really not surprised when they are outstanding. They have got a terrific group.” Seeing improvement across the board from his group, Surace believes Princeton is in a good place. “As you go through a season, the words we use all the time is being better, you want to see improvement,” said Surace. “Nobody in football has got the same starting lineup that they started with in September. There is an injury here or an injury there, so development is key. Zach Kelly caught his first touchdown pass, Sam Johnson caught his first touchdown pass and Tyler Campbell had a huge game. They are three guys who have been fighting to get playing time as seniors and it was really fulfilling to see them have success. We have three freshmen now that have interceptions — Daiveon

Carrington had one against Brown, Jayden Wickware had one last week against Lafayette and James Stagg had one against Bucknell.” In order to keep having success, Princeton will need all hands on deck. “When you have young guys developing but also seniors who could easily just pack it in and get their varsity letter and say that we have played but they are working just as hard, that is a good sign,” said Surace, whose team

is ranked 16th nationally in the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) coaches poll. “As we play Harvard this week, you need that development to have a chance to be successful. We have got to continue as coaches to see guys get better and grow. It is going to be a key thing this week — can we continue to make improvements in different areas and see individuals get better because we are going to need everybody.” —Bill Alden

against Columbia. “My health has been the biggest thing that’s held me back throughout my career, but my teammates and coaches do a good job of keeping me positive, always making sure I’m smiling,” said Hampton. “I think they’ve helped me along the way and given me the confidence so that when I get on the field I know I belong there and they know that at the end of the day I’ll do whatever I can for the team. I came in as a center mid. I started playing center back recently. On Saturday, I moved up to attacking mid. I’m willing to play wherever. The team always comes first and that’s the biggest thing, and I think the guys are realizing that and are playing for one another and that’s when we do our best, so it’s a credit to them.” In picking up his assist, Hampton found just what he was looking for when he took the restart outside the right side of the 18-yard line in the 27th minute of the game. His ball arched over the defense to the far side just outside of the 6-yard line and Wolf headed it back inside the right side of the goal. “I always go for the back post there,” said Hampton. “Richard was able to lose his man.

that all the time in practice and were finally able to get a header off a restart which is good to see. Hopefully we can keep that rolling in the Ivy League because restarts are so huge. I would say 6570 percent of the goals in the Ivy League are off restarts. If you’re able to dominate the restarts offensively and defensively, it’ll change the entirety of the game.” The Tigers had struggled with shot selection, timing and crossing the ball well aga i n s t Dar t m out h a n d Brown. They still had plenty of opportunities in those games but didn’t capitalize. Barlow, for his part, isn’t surprised to see Hampton taking a role in sparking the Princeton offense. “We’ve always known that Danny is very talented and can have a huge impact on the field,” said Barlow. “Last year he was very good in our first two games, scored a great goal against Bradley in our second game, and then suffered another terrible injury in our first home game. He missed almost the entire season. During this recent stretch, he’s finally healthier than he has been in a really long time. And he’s so versatile that he can help us in any part of the field.” In the win over Columbia, Princeton’s second goal came as the result of good preparation and hard work. Kevin O’Toole blocked the ball as Brown goalie Michael Collodi dribbled it up the field, stole the ball and dribbled it into the empty goal to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead at halftime. It was déjà vu for the two teams. “We had the same exact play two years in a row against them,” Hampton said. “We knew that their goalkeeper is aggressive. Kevin did a really good job of reading his big touch. He took one touch and then he took an extra big touch and Kevin jumped on it and anticipated it and was rewarded for it. That’s the Ivy League; you have to grind out goals any way you can. Rich’s goal where he was able to leave his man in the box off a restart and Kevin just grinding and reading what the keeper was doing were two classic Ivy League goals.” The early lead gave the Tigers a huge lift on their way to the victory. Princeton gave up a goal in the second half, and the Tigers held onto the lead thanks to an incredible diving save by goalie Jacob Schachner. The last of his career-high seven saves came on a Columbia header with five minutes left in the game. “It was incredible,” said Hampton. “It changed the season.” The big plays helped the Tigers pick up their first win of the Ivy season and kept their hopes of repeating as league champions alive. Yale at 3-0 has a one-game lead over Dartmouth (2-1 Ivy) with a quartet of teams at 1-1-1, including Penn, Columbia, and Brown in addition to Princeton. “The biggest challenge all year has been injuries, and hopefully we can get healthier down the stretch now,” said Barlow. “We also know we will need some help with other results but we can’t worry about that as we have a

huge task ahead of us in trying to get wins in these remaining matches. We’ve a lways worke d to b e a team that has gotten better as the season goes on, and the frustration with the shortness of our season is that we are usually peaking at the time the regular season is ending. We want to continue to improve and put everything we have into our remaining five regular season games, and then see where that leaves us.” W hile Pr inceton dug themselves a hole to start the Ivy campaign, the tie against Brown sparked a turnaround. “I thought we dominated that game, as well,” said Hampton. “T heir coach [Patrick Laughlin] said after the game that we’re one of the hardest working teams he’s ever seen, which was a great compliment. We also went down a man in that game. We were down a goal and playing down a man so

to come back in that game almost felt like a win to us. To come back and get a late goal at the end of the game was huge for us.” To get their first Ivy win Saturday was even bigger and the Tigers go on the road Saturday to try to pick up another. “Especially the upperclassmen. They know the difference between an outof-conference game and Ivy League game that’s usually more physical like (Saturday) was,” Hampton said. “The younger guys are starting to pick up on that for sure. I saw a big change in the way guys are playing in terms of the intensity, and the grit that they showed to grind out the result. In years past, we probably would have dropped that game. It’s good to see that the guys are trying to change things now.” —Justin Feil

Sophomore Palmer Came Up Big in Midfield As Stuart Field Hockey Made MCT Title Game With the seventh-seeded Stuart Country Day School field hockey team controlling possession but locked in a 0-0 tie with third-seeded Allentown in the first half of the Mercer County Tournament semis last Thursday, Adrianna Palmer decided it was time to break the stalemate. “We were on their goal, we were down there for most of the time,” said Stuart sophomore midfielder Palmer. “We had to get it in so I pushed it right into the center and made sure that someone would be there to help me out.” Tartan freshman Lily Harlan provided the helping hand, directing the Palmer hit into the back of the cage to give Stuart a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Stuart weathered some pressure from Allentown and pushed in three more goals to pull away to a 4-0 win and a spot in the MCT title game for the first time since 2008. “We didn’t want to back down just because we got one goal; we had the mind-

set of it is back to 0-0 and to keep up going as hard as we could to get another one,” said Palmer. “We have been working hard on making sure that breakaways were stopped. I think we did a great job of doing it.” Palmer got the final goal of the evening, doing a nice job as she fired the ball into the back of the cage with 10:55 left in regulation. “I just knew that we had to get it into the center; I gave it the biggest push I could and luckily it went all the way it,” said Palmer. For Stuart, making it all the way to the MCT final was special for the underdog squad. “It was a huge goal for us; we have been working really hard,” said Palmer. “We knew this year we could do it so we just kept practicing and pushing. For us to do it is a dream come true.” Getting pushed up the field to midfield, this after playing defense last fall in her freshman season, Palmer has worked hard to refine

her offensive game. “I had a little bit of transition ; I was a defender last year and moving up to midfield is requiring a little more ball skill,” said Palmer. “Kaitlyn [Magnani] and Caroline [Mullen] encouraged me every day during practice to work hard.” Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik credited Palmer with possessing skill and savvy. “Adrianna had a fabulous game in the midfield; she was a low back last year and she has been moved up to that midfield position,” said Bruvik. “She is smart on the ball, she keeps her feet moving, and she knows when to release. Although Stuart went on to lose 1-0 to Lawrenceville in the final on Saturday, Palmer is proud of how far the squad has come this fall. “At t he pres eason we didn’t have many people; we knew once school started we would be all together,” said Palmer. “We finally got our whole team together. We definitely bonded and it feels great.” —Bill Alden

Fueled by Work Ethic and Team Chemistry, Stuart Field Hockey Emerged as County Finalist Missy Bruvik wasn’t sure that she had the pieces in place to mold the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team into a championship contender as the squad hit the field for preseason this August. Missing players due to injury, travel, and other commitments, Stuart had only 11 or 12 people show up for some training sessions. But once the school year started, things started to look up for the Tartans as the roster filled out. “We have 19, that is our number; we don’t have a JV this year, we are just one team that works hard,” said longtime Stuart head coach Bruvik. “They are the greatest kids ever in terms of working hard everyday. Their chemistry is unbelievable and I credit that to our captains and our upperclassmen.” Utilizing that work ethic and chemistr y, sevent h s ee de d St uar t made an unlikely run through the Mercer C ou nt y Tou r na ment. The Tartans started the competition by beating 10th-seeded WW/P-North 3-0 in the first round and then stunned second-seeded Lawrence 2-1 in the quarters before toppling third-seed Allentown 4-0 in the semis last Thursday to earn a shot at perennial champion Lawrenceville in the title game. “You get an opportunity at the Mercer County Tournament, you get an opportunity on the state tournament and to be in the final two,

check that box,” said Bruvik. “We know there are so m a ny ot h e r te a m s t h at would like to be here too, so for us to have made this run at this time, I couldn’t be more proud of them.” While the run ended with a 1-0 loss to the Big Red as they earned their fourth straight county crown, Stuart was scrappy from the opening whistle to the end of the contest. “I t hought ton ight we got some more opportunities; they are good, so for us to get corners on them and generate some attack I was really proud of us,” said Bruvik. “We said it is about being relentless, we have worked hard to beat the other team to the ball. It is just get to the ball first and then it is knowing what to do with it. Those are stepping stones, especially with the younger kids.” In Bruvik’s view, the play of sophomore Kaitlyn Magnani exemplified Stuart’s all out effort. “Kaitlyn has big games for us every game,” said Bruvik. “She is so smart on the field and so skilled. She is only a sophomore. I am thrilled that she is going to be back; she leads by example everyday with her work ethic.” Bruvik is thrilled by her team’s progress this fall. “It was a gradual thing, there were games that we won 1-0 where we found a way to win even though sometimes we didn’t feel that we play our best,” said Bruvik.

“We thought ‘let’s continue to work on that.’ Then there are other games where we just put the ball in the cage like we did Thursday night (in a 4-0 win over third-seeded Allentown in the MCT semis). We finished.” In the wake of the loss to Lawrenceville, Bruvik’s squad is looking to finish the fall on a high note as Stuart goes for a Prep B title in a competition where it is seeded third and topped Newark Academy 3-0 in an opening round contest last Monday. “I think after tonight’s performance by them, they will be ready,” said Bruvik, whose team, now 11-3-1, will play at second-seeded Princeton Day School in the semis on October 23. “They will say we didn’t get this one, but we have got one more title to shoot for.” No matter what happens in the Prep B tourney, it has been a great ride this fall for Bruvik as her players have come together on and off the field. “When I say to you that t h e y h ave e ach ot h e r’s backs, they have each other’s back every day at practice and in every drill,” said Bruvik. “I think that is why we have been so successful. The attack and the defense go against each other every day and we go as hard as we can. They know that is all in the spirit of the game, and that makes everyone better. They thrive on it because they like each other. They like each other during the school day, not just on the field.” —Bill Alden

TARTAN PRIDE: Members of the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team celebrate after scoring a goal against Allentown in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals last Thursday night. Seventh-seeded Stuart upset the third-seeded Redbirds 4-0 to make the final for the first time since 2008. Two days later, the Tartans went on to fall 1-0 to top-seeded and fourtime defending country champion Lawrenceville in the final. This week, Stuart will pursue another title as it competes in the state Prep B tourney. The third-seeded Tartans topped Newark Academy 3-0 in an opening round contest last Monday to improve to 11-3-1 and will play at second-seeded Princeton Day School in the semis on October 23.

As the Princeton High boys’ soccer team hosted Hun School in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals last Saturday, it followed the formula that has led to so much postseason success for the program. Fourth-seeded PHS got a first half goal from Nick Petruso to take the lead over 12th-seeded Hun and made that goal hold up in a 1-0 victory as a stingy Tiger defense stymied the Raiders. “One of the things we have tried to do throughout the season is to get an early goal and then I think our defense can carry us through the rest of the game,” said PHS senior defender Noah Lapoint. “You can see when we are playing, we let them come to us and we know when to press. We know what we are doing back there and I think that is one of our strengths.” L apoint ack nowledged that things got dicey as Hun pressed forward in the second half, generating several corner kicks. “They had a lot of height, it was a little nerve-wracking,” added Lapoint. “At the end of the day, we have a lot of young kids who really want to win and so they are going to do whatever they can to stay with their matchup. We still have confidence in the box even though we are not one of the bigger teams.” As one of the few seniors on the PHS roster this fall, Lapoint is looking to give guidance to the squad’s

younger players. “It is showing them around, I was here last year so I know what is going on,” said Lapoint. “We have a lot of young talent. I am nurturing them because they could be a really good team next year. It is teaching them leadership.” The Tigers have shown that they can be a good team this fall, improving markedly in terms of ball movement. “Our midfield has gotten so much better; towards the beginning of the season it was hard to string passes together,” said Lapoint. “Nick was the focal point of everything; now we have gotten much better at swinging the ball.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe sensed that Hun was going to make things hard on his squad. “It is a derby, we haven’t played Hun in several years so it was a little more tricky, unpredictable day,” said Sutcliffe. Predictably, the PHS back line held the fort in crunch time. “The defense has been great; we have gone two straight games without conceding and that takes a lot of hard work, conviction, and intelligence,” said Sutcliffe. Lapoint’s intelligent play has been a big plus for the Tigers. “Noah is the only senior on the field and he has done well,” said Sutcliffe. “He gives us another dimension on the right side because he can get into the attack when the opportunity

presents itself.” Junior star Petruso has given PHS another dimension on attack. “Nick is a finisher, he is a good goal scorer,” said Sutcliffe. “We are getting one from him each game, he is having a great season.” While PHS didn’t have a great night last Monday evening as it fell 5-2 to topseeded Notre Dame in the MCT semis to move to 12-6, Sutcliffe believes his team is headed in the right direction. “We want to try and build and make it into something that we can look back on and say we won a price of silverware — that is how you measure it all,” said Sutcliffe, whose team will host Hopewell Valley on October 25 before starting play in the state public tournament. “We are such a young team and we couldn’t ask for much more from them.The progress has been great. If you want to win something, you have to be beyond your years when you are this young. If you have eight or 10 seniors, that is a completely different story. It has been great. I am very happy indeed.” In Lapoint’s view, making it to the MCT semis was a great step for the Tigers. “This is really good; last year we did really well but there were a couple of bad tournament games,” said Lapoint. “This is what we like to see; this is a more characteristic season for us.” —Bill Alden

With Senior Avis Leading Ground Attack, PHS Football Keeps Plugging Away After playing on the offensive line for the Princeton High football team last year, Stephen Avis moved to running back this fall and has found a home in his new spot. Last Friday night, senior Avis rumbled for 111 yards on 23 carries to provide a bright spot for PHS as it fell 47-0 at West Windsor-Plainsboro and dropped to 0-6. Coming into the contest, Avis believed that the Tigers could move the ball on the ground against WW-P. “We watched film all week and we felt like we could run the ball and get our run offense going,” said Avis. “We built off of last week, we didn’t really change much in our offense. We just tried to practice what we had so we could perfect it.” In the first half, Avis started to get into a rhythm, ripping off several runs of nearly 10 yards. PHS, though, didn’t take advantage of the hard running by Avis, trailing 40-0 at half.

“We went to the locker room, we knew we wanted to keep battling and keep it a fight,” said Avis. “We wanted to build off what we had in the first half and keep moving the ball. We got close to scoring but we just couldn’t finish it.” In the second half, Avis kept battling as he piled up yardage, getting the Tigers into the red zone late in the fourth quarter but the Tigers couldn’t cash in. In reflecting on his hardcharging style, Avis said that playing for the PHS boys’ hockey team has helped make him aggressive on the football field. “In hockey, I have been skating hard, so in football I just try to run hard,” said Avis. As one of the team’s captains, Avis has worked hard to boost team morale. “I am tr ying to change the culture and mentor the younger guys and try to build

the program by commitment, and leadership,” said Avis. PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher credits Avis with showing a lot of commitment to the program. “Stephen has given us a tremendous amount over the entire season,” said Gallagher. “He is a standout player, he is the real deal. He is a hockey player, he is a tough kid.” While PHS is enduring a tough fall, Gallagher sees hope for the future. “It is a growth process, we are playing four seniors right now,” said Gallagher. “We have a lot of juniors playing and we have a couple of sophomores playing. There are guys getting a lot of experience. We just got to say to ourselves that hey, these are building blocks. We have a great group of kids, this is one of the best groups of kids that I have had the pleasure of coaching. They are working hard, it is about building.” As the Tigers head into the final games of this season, Gallagher is looking for his players to keep plugging away. “You want to win games for the seniors and you don’t want to just forget about 2019,” said Gallagher, whose team hosts Hopewell Valley on October 26. “It is very hard because you put so much energy into 2019. We are going to play all of these games out. We have got to get maximum effort and the kids are doing that. I am very happy with our turnout and our practices. I talked a little bit about peaks and valleys for our guys and the peaks are definitely practice Monday through Friday and the valleys are the games. We are struggling in the games.” In the view of Avis, going through the struggles will ultimately yield dividends for PHS. “I feel like everyone is keeping their heads up,” said Avis. “Every week is a new week and we just try to battle for the next game and do our best. It is just grinding and everyone doing their job and eventually things will start to work out.” —Bill Alden

After Losing To Lawrenceville in MCT Semis, PHS Field Hockey Turning the Page for States After having fallen to Lawrenceville 4-2 in a regular season contest on September 14, the Princeton High field hockey team was fired up to get a rematch against the Big Red in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals last Thursday evening. “Losing to them the first time provided some inspiration for tonight,” said PHS head coach Heather Serverson. “We always want to beat Lawrenceville.” Displaying some inspired defensive play in the first half in the game played at Lawrence High in windy, chilly conditions, PHS held the fort as Lawrenceville dominated possession but led only 1-0 at intermission. “It is always a pressured situation defensively when you are playing Lawrenceville,” said Serverson. “Our goal was to just try to keep our cool, play as a unit, and make sure that everyone is marked up.” In the second half, Lawrenceville was able to get the first two goals to go up 3-0 and didn’t look back on the way to a 4-1 win. “Lawrenceville played really well,” said Serverson. “I think that they connected better than we did and we have some things to work on.” PHS kept playing hard to the end as senior Kate Liggio scored with 5:28 left in regulation to narrow the gap to 3-1 but the Big Red responded by scoring its fourth goal 27 seconds later. “It is something that we have been working on,” said Serverson, referring to her team’s fighting spirit. “I am glad that they didn’t give up and they continued to fight.” Serverson acknowledged that her squad struggled to find an offensive rhythm against the powerful Big Red, who went on to beat Stuart Country Day 1-0 in the final on Saturday to earn their fourth straight county crown “We were very fragmented,

we didn’t read the way that Lawrenceville was playing today,” said Serverson. “Their defense was solid and nothing got through them. We started a little too late to cut in front of them and we couldn’t connect.” In Serverson’s view, her team’s r u n to t he MC T semis should help the Tigers as they head into the state

public tournament. “We need to play every game as if we are playing a team like Lawrenceville,” said Serverson, whose team, now 13-3-1, is seeded second in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional and is slated to host a quarterfinal contest on October 23. “Moving into the states, we look strong. We are almost fully healthy. We look at it as another opportunity to do something good.” —Bill Alden

On paper, it didn’t look like the Hun School boys’ soccer team was destined to stick around very long in the Mercer County Tournament. The MCT bracket had the 12th-seeded Raiders playing at fifth-seeded Hopewell Valley in a first round contest last Thursday. But building on a recent hot streak, Hun pulled out

GIVE YOUR TREES AND SHRUBS A WINTER COAT with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

You can’t buy this coat at a local department store, but it will shield your valuable evergreens from fierce and frosty winter winds. Azalea, Rhododendron, Holly, Southern Magnolia, Andromeda, Laurel and similar species are especially susceptible. Frozen ground inhibits the intake of water through the roots, while icy winds accelerate the process of transpiration (the passage of water out of a plant in the form of vapor) through leaves and stems, resulting in a wilting and browning condition known as winter kill.

a dramatic win over HoVal on penalty kicks after the teams played to a 0-0 draw through regulation and two overtimes. “The kids have been playing really well,” said Hun head coach Pat Quirk. “The Hopewell game is prob ably the best game we have played in a long time.” Playing at fourth-seeded Princeton High in a quarterfinal contest last Saturday morning, Hun kept up its good work. After surrendering an early goal, the Raiders responded by producing some superb soccer, earning a lot of possession and generating a slew of corner kicks. “I thought we controlled most of the game; we gave up that one goal and we were trying to scramble to get one ourselves,” said Quirk. Hun never could get that tally as it ended up falling by that 1-0 margin. “The midfield has been great,” said Quirk, whose team moved to 5-6-2 with the defeat. “I thought one of the corners was going to go in but unfortunately we were a little flatfooted

inside the box.” Junior goalie Alex Donahue commanded the box on the defensive end, making seven saves in the loss. “Alex stopped a couple of breakaways and made a couple of close saves,” said Quirk. “He has been doing really well all season.” Three of Hun’s veteran stalwarts, seniors Chris Antar and Tishe Olaleye along with junior Amar Anand, also did well against PHS. “Chris played a phenomenal game, going into the back,” added Quirk. “Tishe and Amar did really well, they controlled the midfield. We were just unlucky inside the box, that is how soccer is.” With Hun starting play in the state Prep A tournament this week where it is seeded fourth and will host fifth-seeded Blair in a first round contest on October 23, Quirk is confident that his squad keep raising its game. “I thought we were going to do it again today and go back to Hopewell and play in the county semis; unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way,” said Quirk. “Right now we are playing our best soccer as a full team.” —Bill Alden

A strong root system is vital to maintaining happy, healthy, sustainable plants. Fall biofertilization for your key trees will encourage root growth and give them additional protection and a head start for spring. Winter proofing with anti-desiccant spray to evergreen leaves and stems, forms a colorless, wax-like film, reducing excessive water loss but does not cut off oxygen and sunshine, therefore, there is no inhibition of plant growth. Ideally, plantings should be sprayed with an antidesiccant material once in early to mid winter. Anti-desiccant spraying is environmentally friendly and safe for your garden and community.

Charles A. Lynch Charles A. Lynch, 84, of Princeton, New Jersey, died peacefully, surrounded by loving family and friends, on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center in Plainsboro, New Jersey. During his final evening with his family, he enjoyed pizza, martinis, and the victory of his favorite football team, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. USC. Born January 6, 1935 in Brooklyn, New York, he was a resident of Princeton for more than 46 years. Son of the late Charles and Mary McEvoy Lynch, he was predeceased by his brother David Lynch and by his beloved wife of 58 years, Marilyn A. Lynch. He is survived by his daughters Nancy van der Horst and Cara Lynch; sonsin-law Jan van der Horst and Rafael Alvarez; three sisters and two brothers-in-law, Diane and Gerard Feeney, Elizabeth and Matthew Schiebel, and

company stock, and spent the following 3.5 months with Marilyn and Nancy traveling across Europe, using Arthur Frommer’s Europe on Five Dollars a Day as a guide. It was their first time abroad. His study of Latin helped him communicate, as did assorted dictionaries and a reasonable command of German. Upon returning from Europe, Charles accepted a research position at FMC Corporation in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1972, he was transferred to Princeton, New Jersey, where he lived until his death. Charles retired in 2006 after a long career in the chemical industry. His final position was as an Account Executive for the State of New Jersey, Department of Commerce, Department of Client Promotion. He worked with chemical companies in New Jersey to promote economic growth in the industry. Charles and Marilyn enjoyed traveling and took many cruises. Their ports of call included stops in Alaska, the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, Mexico, South America, the Baltics, Greece, and Russia. They made trips all over Europe, including to Leiden, The Netherlands, for Nancy and Jan’s wedding in 1999. In total, they visited more than 40 countries. Charles was a lifelong learner and loved to test his knowledge by watching Jeopardy. His family encouraged him to try out for the show, but he felt hampered by his lack of familiarity with current pop culture. His close friends and family knew that at 7 p.m. each night, he could be found watching Jeopardy with a martini in hand. He was an avid reader of many newspapers, especially The New York Times, whose Sunday

crossword puzzle he completed with ease. He enjoyed brain teasers and listening to classical music. A fan of sports and trivia, Charles had a special interest in baseball and football. He loved the Brooklyn Dodgers and also followed the Yankees, the Mets, and the New York Giants. He was also devoted to Notre Dame sports, especially football. The entire Lynch family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, often attended Notre Dame football games during the 1970s. Charles also cheered on the Princeton University football team and was a longtime season ticket holder. Charles and Marilyn’s life together changed dramatically in late 2008, when his right leg was amputated as the result of a life-threatening aneurysm. Though many of his activities were curtailed, he was never bitter and graciously accepted his condition. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Thursday, October 24, 2019 at St. Paul’s Church 216 Nassau Street, Princeton. The family will be receiving friends from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the Mass in the St. Paul’s Church Fellowship Hall, located on the lower level of the Church. The burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Regis High School, Attn: Development Office, 55 E 84th Street, New York, NY 10028 or to St. Paul’s Church, 216 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08540.

Jane Glussi; sister-in-law Mary Lynch; grandchildren Rose van der Horst and Rafael Alvarez; and many nieces and nephews. The family would also like to acknowledge the many caregivers and medical professionals who tended to Charles over the last 11 years. Charles was the first-born son, nephew, and grandson of his generation. Known as Charlie, he was a proud graduate of Regis High School and Manhattan College. He attended the University of Notre Dame, where he was called Chuck, and earned a PhD in Organic Chemistry. He received full scholarships for all his higher education and was deeply grateful for the opportunities that followed. His 1960 Notre Dame graduation commencement address was delivered by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the graduation blessing was bestowed upon the audience by His Eminence Giovanni B. Cardinal Montini, Archbishop of Milan, Italy, who became Pope Paul VI in 1963. In 1958, while at Notre Dame, Charles and Marilyn Monaco were set up by mutual friends on a blind date. They married on July 30, 1960, in North Tonawanda, New York, and were deeply devoted to one another throughout their marriage. A member of St. Paul’s Church, where he served as a lector and Eucharistic Minister, Charles was also a member of the National Honor Society, the American Society of Lubrication Engineers, and the American Chemical Society. Additionally, he served as a volunteer at Recording for the Blind. Charles started his career in the chemical industry at Esso, later Exxon. He resigned from his job in 1965, sold his

Religion Series on the Bible At Jewish Center

A three-session miniseries, “How the Bible is Written,” will be held at The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau Street, on Wednesdays, November 6, 13, and 20 at 8 p.m. Professor Gary Rendsburg is the speaker. This series is based on Rendsburg’s most recent book, How the Bible is Written. The goal of the book is to bring scholars and laypeople closer to the original text of the Hebrew Bible in order to provide them with a greater appreciation of its literary artistry and linguistic virtuosity. The focus of the series is not so much on what the Bible says (though that, too) but more on how the Bible says it. Specific topics treated include wordplay, alliteration, repetition with variation, dialect representation, intentionally-confused language, marking closure, and more. Session 1’s topic is “Reading Creation: Genesis 1.” The second session is on “Genesis 29: The Story of Jacob and Rachel,” while the final session is “The Two Building Blocks of Biblical Narrative: Alliteration and Repetition with Variation.” Rendsburg serves as the Blanche and Irving Laurie Professor of Jewish History in the Department of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. His teaching and research focus on “all things ancient Israel” — primarily language and literature, though also

“Show Up For Shabbat” At Belle Mead Temple

On October 25, Congregation Kehilat Shalom in Belle Mead will participate in a nationwide effort to encourage community members of all faiths to #ShowUpForShabbat. This initiative, also referred to as #SolidarityShabbat, was created by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) in the wake of the murder of 11 Jews at Pittsburgh’s Tree of

Life synagogue on October 27, 2018. These synagogue members were gunned down while they prayed in what they believed to be the sanctity of their religious home. The response to this tragic event was public outrage. The AJC partnered with the Jewish Federations of North America to urge Jews at any level of practice as well as their non-Jewish allies to attend a Shabbat service at a congregation or community center in October. Thousands of people of all faiths rallied around the #ShowUpForShabbat idea, packing synagogues in what became the largest-ever expression of solidarity with the American Jewish community. The AJC is continuing the effort this year, encouraging communities to combat antisemitism by standing side by side with their Jewish friends and neighbors. Congregation Kehilat Shalom will hold the service on October 25 from 7-9 p.m. It is open to community members of all faiths who would like to share in this gathering to raise their collective voice for a world free of antisemitism, hate, and bigotry.

HOW TO SUBMIT AN OFFER THAT'S MORE LIKELY TO GET ACCEPTED

�� �i��ers�oon ��ree� Prin�e�on, �� �����

While it may seem there isn’t too much within your control when it comes down to making an offer on your dream home, considering using these tips to increase your chances of submitting an offer that gets accepted: - Understand the market. An offer not only identifies what you are willing to pay for the house but also what you think it is worth. - Consider motivation. A seller's motivation can tell you a lot about their willingness to accept a lower offer. - Be timely. You have less negotiation power if the seller has been presented with multiple offers. The sooner you put in an offer, the quicker you can find out whether or not your offer has been accepted or if you will be given an opportunity to revise it. - Offer a higher earnest money deposit. The earnest money deposit (EMD) accompanies your offer letter. It signifies a serious, sincere commitment to wanting to purchase the house.

ōŷDÝĵr ˥˟˨ʳ˧˟ˡʳˢˤ˥ˣ ������ ������������

��sy�����ail��o� www���sy����o�

The home-buying process can feel overwhelming at times. Fortunately, there are things you can do to improve your timeline while also increasing the chances of having your offer accepted. Do your research, try your best to be patient, and you will be in your new home in no time.
