Work Nearly Complete, Washington Road Bridge Should Reopen Soon The Washington Road Bridge replacement project, under construction since late July, is nearing completion, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), which anticipates that Washington Road will reopen “sometime after October 31.” Washington Road has been closed between Faculty Road and Tiger Lane while the NJDOT has replaced the bridge over the D&R Canal. Motorists have taken alternate routes, most likely Alexander Road/Alexander Street or Harrison Street, into and out of town. NJDOT Press Manager Steve Schapiro has stated that a specific date for reopening has not yet been set. A gas main on the east side of the bridge has to be relocated, and more work remains on the bicycle/pedestrian section of the bridge. That part may open after the main bridge reopens to vehicular traffic. Original projections anticipated completion of the $9.4 million project by sometime in October. The NJDOT has been in regular communication with local Princeton authorities, as well as Princeton University, regarding the project. The NJDOT will provide advanced notice before reopening the bridge. Princeton Assistant Municipal Engineer Jim Purcell noted that Alexander Road has been quite congested since the Washington Road closure, especially at morning and evening rush hours, but Harrison Street, designated by the NJDOT as the primary alternate route, has seen fewer delays. Though Washington Road will soon be reopening, Purcell pointed out that at some point, probably within the next five years, Mercer County would be taking on the challenge of replacing/repairing the much larger Washington Road Bridge over Lake Carnegie. In his October 23 roadway conditions report to Princeton Council, Purcell stated that the Graduate Hotel had fallen about a month behind schedule on its construction at Nassau and Chambers streets due to a structural problem in the existing building. The opening of the hotel is still planned for May 2024, but Chambers Street will remain one lane northbound until the end of January, one month longer than anticipated. Continued on Page 11

Town Unveils Details of Community Master Plan On October 19, Princeton’s Planning Board heard a presentation on the new Community Master Plan. Public comment was not part of that meeting, but residents will be able to ask questions and air their views of the plan at a public hearing on November 9. Municipal staff and consultants have been working on the current version of the plan for the past year and a half. Efforts to engage the public during the process have included surveys, interviews, open house events, and special listening sessions. Details are available at engage. princetonmasterplan.org. New Jersey law requires that a Community Master Plan, a kind of municipal road map for land use and development with details about circulation, hazard mitigation, climate resilience, conservation, utilities, and most aspects of the built and natural environment, be updated every 10 years. Princeton needs more housing, especially small dwelling units, said consultant Michael Sullivan of the firm Clarke Caton Hintz. The overall goals for land use in the plan are not for overdevelopment, but “are to create a unified zoning ordinance, focus higher residential density within and around the downtown and in mixed-use centers, and maintain progressively lower densities outside the downtown,” he said. The plan recommends that several

lots in town be considered for zoning of from one to four units each. Removing barriers to increased residential density would provide greater opportunities for economic development, Sullivan said. Justin Lesko, the town’s municipal planner, stressed early in the presentation that the new plan does not allow for unlimited growth. “We’re not disrupters,” he said. Referring to the need for more housing for the “missing middle,” Sullivan projected photographs of existing housing

in Princeton, including large houses on Wiggins Street that have been converted to multi-family dwellings, townhouses on Mercer Street, and apartments above stores on Nassau Street. Sullivan said the plan directs new housing away from areas of remaining open space, and protects environmental features. The plan “wants to grow not by coming in and creating midrise development everywhere,” he said. “It wants to sensitively and thoughtfully allow for the Continued on Page 10

School Bond Referendum on Nov. 7 Ballot Along with Local, County, and State Races

When Princeton residents mail in their ballots or vote early October 28 to November 5 at the Princeton Shopping Center voting site or at one of the other sites in the county, or vote on Election Day, November 7 at their assigned polling sites, they will be making choices in seven local, county, and state elections, as well as voting yes or no on a bond referendum. On the Princeton ballot are candidates for Princeton Council; for state Senate and general assembly in Legislative District 16; for Mercer County executive, sheriff, and Board of Commissioners; and for members of the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE). Also on the ballot is a $13 million PPS bond proposal to improve security and

technology infrastructure and address major maintenance projects. PPS is inviting community members to tour Princeton High School areas targeted for improvement on Thursday, October 26 from 7-8 p.m., and on Saturday, October 28 from 10-11 a.m. Visitors can check out the cafeteria, which would be renovated to create more seating for students and allow for more efficient lunch lines. The guided tour may also include the athletic field and track scheduled for resurfacing and the EcoLab, another area in need of repairs. For in-depth insights into the referendum proposal, the district recommends checking out the video of an October 18 virtual community forum, Continued on Page 7

Princeton Public Library will use a gift from Princeton University to extend through 2026 a pilot program eliminating extended-use fees for children’s materials, Executive Director Jennifer Podolsky announced Monday, October 23. The $50,000 gift will allow the library to continue to waive these fees, also known as “fines,” for children’s materials while it works to develop a sustainable source of private funding to permanently end extended-use fees for all age groups. With funds made available by the 2021 merger of its two fundraising groups, the Friends and Foundation, the

At the time the pilot program began, fees for children’s materials generated about $25,000 annually in revenue for the library, but also prevented vulnerable groups from using the library. “These fees create financial barriers to library use and are a form of structural racism and classism,” Podolsky said. “Data show that fines disproportionately affect low-income households and prevent people from being able to use library services. We know from experience that parents struggling to get by won’t allow their children to check out books for fear of accruing fines, resulting in shame and blocked

access to those who need library services the most.” After waiving fees for children’s materials, the library discovered there were no significant impacts to the return of materials, while overall circulation of materials increased, as did the number of young people applying for library cards. Kristin Appelget, Princeton University assistant vice president for community and regional affairs, said, “Library staff shared with us that eliminating late fees for overdue materials was a key priority of their current five-year strategic plan. We were pleased to provide support from the University to assist the library in their efforts to achieve this goal and help make the library and its resources even more accessible to every member of the community.” “We’re very grateful to the University for supporting our efforts to end fees for all users,” Podolsky said. “We’re in the first year of a strategic plan where a major goal is to increase access to everyone in Princeton. These fees prevent us from realizing this goal. Princeton has seen the remarkable things the library can do when stable public funding is supplemented by private support. We’re confident that with this generous gift from the University, our Development Office will be able to identify like-minded donors who can help us develop a sustainable funding source that will allow for the elimination of all extended-use fees.” Those interested in joining the library’s effort to eliminate extended-use and other fees are invited to contact the library’s Development Office at (609) 924-9529, ext. 1253.

Floyd was a former Princeton Township committee member, the first Black mayor of Princeton Township, and a longtime vocal advocate of affordable housing. He died in 2018 at the age of 96. Fannie Floyd, who died in 2008 at the age of 84, was involved in many Princeton area civic, social, charitable, and religious organizations for more than 50 years. Residents in the complex that bears their name occupy five one-bedroom apartments, 14 two -bedroom, and six three-bedroom units. The building is designed to meet or exceed Enterprise Green energ y ef f iciency standards, and includes all electric heating/cooling and capacity for future installation of rooftop solar panels. “It is very beautifully designed,” said Bech. “It fits into Princeton Community Village very well. I think people will walk away with the impression that this is a high-quality project. There are small details like molding on the doors, which by the way are durable, and have weight to them. This is a building that will last.” Princeton Community Village includes 71 one-bedroom apartments in the sixstory Holly House, as well as 167 townhouses. In addition to the new building, the village has new amenities including additions to the existing Ted Vial Clubhouse; connection to Herrontown Woods trailheads; 42 new trees; and 450 new native

your income goes toward housing costs, so you have the means to invest in your future. That’s like hitting the lottery. That’s the profound, long-ter m investment in future health and well-being. So, for 25 occupants of these apartments it’s a game-changer, and it changes their lives.” Jim and Fan n ie F loyd House is just the latest effort by PCH to provide housing for people who work in Princeton, but can’t afford to live in the town. “Part of our goal is to uplift the story of what affordable housing is, and why it strengthens our community as a whole,” Bech said. “It allows the community to take care of itself. I think more and more people are gaining a better understanding of that.” —Anne Levin

Jewish Center Students Discuss Fears and Concerns

• • • •

S t u d e nt s i n g r a d e s 7 through 12 from The Jewish Center’s Religious School recently met with teachers to discuss their fears and concerns about what is going on in Israel and Gaza. “Our kids felt helpless and wanted to do something tangible to help that could have an immediate impact,” said Sharon Diamondstein, director of congregational learning at The Jewish Center. Out of the many ideas that were solicited, one stood out that resonated with all the students, that could be done right away: to read bedtime stories to children in Israel. Diamondstein started looking for ways to make this happen. Using her Facebook network, she was able to get the interest of some families in Israel. On Sunday, October 15, two seventh grade students, William Vermut and Sasha Goldberg, took time from their religious school learning to go on Zoom and read bedtime stories to some children living in Jerusalem. “The children, ages 6, 5, and 3, loved hearing the book Stone Soup, about a community coming together to make a pot of soup. They laughed at the book Oh No, George about a well-meaning dog named George who keeps making mistakes and learns how to be accountable for what he does. They giggled at the idea of hearing a story about Passover, and then asked Sasha and William to read more,” according to a release from the Jewish Center. “Everyone enjoyed the experience, and the children’s mother thanked us for ‘Such an amazing Chesed [ act of kindness],’ they said.” The seventh graders are looking forward to continuing their connection with this family and connecting with others through their impromptu storytelling initiative. This idea is already gaining interest and The Jewish Center hopes to expand to additional families in the coming weeks.

The district estimates that the bond would have an annual tax impact of $104 on a home assessed at Princeton’s average of $848,037. In the race for Princeton Council, Democratic Incumbents David Cohen and Leticia Fraga are running unopposed to reclaim their seats for a third three-year term. Cohen has served on the Vision Zero Task Force, working for safer streets; the Planning Board ; the Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee; and the Flood and Stormwater Commission. Ongoing work on completion of the Princeton Master Plan and stormwater management continue to be high priority issues for Cohen. Fraga has served as liaison to the Board of Health and the Human Services and Civil Rights commissions, and as chair of the Public Safety Committee. She was Council President in 2021 and 2022. Fraga continues to emphasize her “equity lens” in making policy decisions, representing all voices in the community. In the election for state Senate for New Jersey’s 16th legislative district, incumbent Democrat Andrew Zwicker is running against Republican Michael Pappas. Zwicker, a physicist and

head of strategic partnerships and public engagement at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, won his Senate seat by defeating Pappas in the 2021 election. Before that Zwicker served for four years in the New Jersey General Assembly. Pappas has served on the Franklin Township Council, as mayor of Franklin Township, as a member of the Somerset County Board of Freeholders, and as a oneterm U.S. congressman for the 12th district of New Jersey. Two positions in the general assembly in the 16th district are up for grabs in this election, with incumbent Roy Freiman and Mitchelle Drulis running for the Democrats and Ross Traphagen and Grace Zhang for the Republicans. Freiman, a former executive at Prudential Financial, is running for his fourth term. He serves as chairman of the New Jersey Assembly Agriculture and Food Security Committee. Drulis, a small business owner, has worked in New Jersey politics since 2000 — as a legislative aid to an assemblyman, as chief of staff to an assemblyman, and as political director then district director to U.S. Congressman Tom Malinowski. Traphagen, a small business owner who lives in Clinton, has served two terms as councilman for the town of Clinton. His priorities include keeping taxes as low as possible and controlling overdevelopment. Zhang, a Princeton resident and certified public accountant, is the owner of a consulting and accounting business and

an engaged volunteer and advocate in her children’s schools. Running for Mercer County executive, following longtime incumbent Brian Hughes’ announcement in March that he would not be on the ballot for another term, are Democrat Dan Benson and Republican Lisa Marie Richford. Benson, a contractor and consultant, and a Hamilton resident, has been in the New Jersey Assembly since 2011. Before that he served on the Hamilton Council, then on the Mercer County Board of Commissioners. Richford, an attorney for the past 31 years, is currently the chair of the Mercer County Republican Committee. A resident of Hamilton, Richford in her campaign has emphasized a need for greater transparency in the county budget and the need for change after 20 years of Democratic rule in the county. In the race for Mercer County sheriff, incumbent Democrat John A. “Jack” Kemler is r unning for a fifth term against Republican Bryan “Bucky” Boccanfuso and Libertarian Drew Cifrodelli. Kemler began his career in law enforcement in the Trenton Police Department before joining the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office and eventually beginning his service as sheriff in 2010. Boccanfuso, a lifetime resident of Mercer County, has served in various capacities in the police departments of Princeton and Robbinsville. Cifrodelli is a small business owner who has also worked

as a real estate broker and project manager. The election for two positions on the Mercer County Board of Commissioners pits two incumbent Democrats against two Republican challengers. Democrats Lucylle Walter, a county commissioner since 1998, and John Cimino, commissioner since 2009 and twice board president, are taking on new Republican candidates Joseph Stillwell of Hamilton and Denise “Neicy” Turner of Trenton. Stillwell, a recent Catholic University of America graduate, is working towards his New Jersey teacher certification, while Turner works as a medical security officer and owns a home daycare facility. The Princeton BOE race features two incumbents — Beth Behrend and Michele Tuck-Ponder — and three new candidates — Adam Bierman, Eleanor Hubbard, and Rene Obregon — competing for three available seats on the Board. For BOE candidate information and perspectives, see page 1 of last week’s [October 18] issue of Town Topics.

Drinks, hors d’oeuvres, desser ts, and live jazz from bassist Justin Lee, guitarist Raúl Abbad, and singer Monika Ryan are part of the event. Four artist members of the Garden State Watercolor Society will collaborate throughout the evening to paint watercolor landscapes depicting Hillside Farm. Guests may bid on a painting to take home. Guests are welcome to attend attired in fashions of the era, or to come as they are. Proceeds from sponsorships and auction items will support D &R Greenway’s work to open Hillside Farm as a public preserve in the future. The property, most of which lies in Hopewell Township, is larger than Hopewell Borough. It is contiguous with two other D&R Greenway preserves (Cedar Ridge and Sourlands Ecosystem) and has sweeping views of D&R Greenway’s St. Michaels Farm Preserve across town. It provides critical habitat for birds and other wildlife. Altogether, D & R Greenway has protected over 3,000 acres of land in the immediate area.

D & R Greenway Land Trust’s Masquerade Ball, feat ur ing musicians and visual artists, will be held at Hillside Farm on October 28, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets to the event are available starting from $250 and can be purchased at drgreenway.org or by calling ( 609) 924-4646. Proceeds support D & R Greenway’s work to preserve and care for land and provide public trails where people can benefit from being outdoors in nature. Guests will have access to the private estate home, formerly owned by philanthropist Betty Wold Johnson and donated to D&R Greenway by her sons, owners of the Jets football team. A fierce champion of conservation and decades-long partner with D&R Greenway for land preservation, Johnson spent 40 years assembling the estate, which encompasses expanses of farm fields, meadows and forests, as well as historic structures and a Revolutionary War encampment site. She lived at Hillside Farm, where she built a home that interprets the past using modern materials and amenities. “The addition of Hillside Farm to the long list of properties preserved by D &R Greenway is just one more example of why I am proud to support their work,” said Daniel Motto, D&R Greenway trustee. “This incredible property will be a tremendous asset for everyone in our community and I am thrilled it will be there, preserved and cared for, for future generations to enjoy.”

Ramping up its outreach to non-traditional students and to New Jersey community college students seeking to transfer to four-year institutions in particular, Princeton University has launched the Transfer Scholars Initiative (TSI). Forty students from seven community colleges participated in the pilot TSI session from June 26 to August 18 this past summer and most followed up on the weekend of October 14-15 with a two-day “bootcamp” on the Princeton University campus to work on their college transfer applications. “It was important to me because it’s my first time applying with the Common App,” said Hudson County Community College (HCCC) student Fatima Abella, who attended the bootcamp as well as the eight-week summer program. Abella, who is majoring in cybersecurity and described herself as the poet laureate in her school, commented on the recent two-day session. “The process was broken down with an emphasis on the parts that took a lot of time to complete, such as requesting letters of recommendation, writing our personal statements, highlighting experiences, etc. We were asked to share our drafts with our cohorts and we gave each other feedback. The professors were also attentive to any specific questions we had.” She continued, “The announcement ‘when in doubt, just ask’ felt like a common statement, but reminded us why we were in the program: to use the opportunity for all it’s worth and more.” Abella, who is applying for transfer to Princeton and other Ivy League “reach schools,” as well as a number of other New Jersey colleges including New Jersey City University in Jersey City and New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, is looking for a computer science program that specializes in cybersecurity or information security. “In the future I plan to enter the technology field and hone my skills by practice,” she said. “Once I’ve been in the field for enough time, I would like to go into teaching where I can nurture the interest of more students who are motivated but needing the extra push or opportunity.” Funded by Pr inceton University, TSI this year included participants from Camden County Community College, Middlesex College, Mercer Cou nt y Com mu nity College, Raritan Valley Community College, Rowan College of South Jersey, and Union College of Union County, as well as HCCC. “Wit h t hese out reach focused programs, our goal is to reinforce and support the larger system of higher education, helping more students pursue an education and complete a high-quality degree,” said Princeton Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Cole Crittenden, as quoted in a University press release. “these programs allow us to expand the reach of Princeton’s intellectual resources, but they also allow us to learn from our neighbors

and to strengthen the system of which we are a part.” Keith Shaw, director of transfer and outreach art Princeton’s Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity, described the recent bootcamp as “a twoday sprint, helping them draft, revise, and curate their materials for transfer applications, building on the foundations we established this summer.”

Fatima Abella

Queenie Reda, outreach program associate at the Bloomberg Center, pointed out that TSI students were able to expand their horizons, and that many are applying to four-year colleges they had not considered before. “This cohort built a comm u n i t y of s u pp or t a n d friendship that I hope will last a lifetime,” she said. “T hey lear ned so much about t he t ransfer pro cess, researching four-year schools and gaining an understanding of financial aid packages. To witness them absorb the information and see the excitement in their eyes truly added to the highlights of the summer.” Reda, who graduated from community college as an adult and transferred to a state school for undergraduate and graduate programs, cont i nue d, “I genu i nely value the support and opportunities that TSI offers to students. The transfer process can be intimidating and even isolating. I believe TSI can help mitigate some of the barriers and offer a successful transfer process.” TSI is looking to expand t he pro g ra m i n com i ng years, Reda said, with more students enrolled and more community colleges represented. Crittenden noted, “Our plan for next year is two-fold: to accept more students from current partners and to grow the number of partners,” with a goal of 100 students in the program in the next two years. Princeton University reinstated its transfer admission program in 2018 and continues to increase the numbers of undergraduate transfer students on campus. “Princeton’s transfer program has a rapidly growing number of students coming from community colleges across New Jersey,” said Jordan Reed, associate director for transfer, veteran, and non-traditional student programs at the Emma Bloomberg Center. He continued, “They’ve ingrained themselves in every aspect of academic and campus life at the University from producing theatrical performances at the Lewis Center for the Arts, to advancing research with faculty members in Princeton’s laboratories, and landing competitive internships and jobs at

leading fi nancial institutions in New York City. They’re also getting out into the world, taking the perspectives they developed in New Jersey to summer opportunities in London, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and beyond.” The eight-week TSI summer program offered classes, college counseling, co-curricular workshops, and mentorship from Princeton faculty, staff, and undergraduates. The students took a writing seminar and a laboratorybased class, which provided the chance to work directly with incoming Princeton undergraduates who were on campus for the Freshman Scholars Institute. TSI students also attended in-person college fairs on campus, taking advantage of the opportunity to talk directly with admission officials from a range of colleges and universities. The TSI program offered two Princeton course credits that students could apply to their community college and four-year degrees. Abella, who works a full time job in addition to pursuing her studies at HCCC, learned about the TSI program through an HCCC email, got nominated by her Java programming professor, and decided “since the application was free, I might as well try my luck.” When she was accepted into the program and was offered a stipend as well, she decided to quit her job and spend the month of July and half of August at Princeton. “I was very busy. It felt to me like my 9-5 work with homework,” she wrote in an email. “Yet I was very happy because I was learning so much.” Abella emphasized the value of one-on-one feedback and numerous revisions in her writing class, which she described as “my favorite class because I love writing and I was just full of inspiration.” H e r E n g i n e e r i n g 15 0 quant lab class focused on calculus and physics. She talked about the professor’s motivational teaching style. “She encouraged teaching each other and to avoid looking at the internet for solutions,” Abella wrote. “In that way, we learned to think creatively, and it helped us remember concepts better. She also encouraged asking questions. This kind of attention to every student’s needs changed the way I looked at education. Physics is an intimidating subject for many people and the collaborative learning experience they encourage at Princeton ensures no one gets left behind.” Abella said the TSI program helped to inspire her to “keep dreaming big.” She added, “This program gave all of us hope that our reach schools are within reach, instead of impossible.” —Donald Gilpin

On October 17, a packed audience filled Witherspoon Hall for a community forum devoted to development of the Tennent /Roberts / Whiteley campus of Princeton Theological Seminary. James P. Herring of Herring Properties, the contract purchaser of the site, presented a concept plan for a 238-unit apartment complex, 48 of which would be designated affordable. Council President Mia Sacks introduced the program, noting that the town’s redevelopment team vetted Herring’s concept over the summer. The forum, the third to be held on the proposal, was intended as a “kickoff” to the formal process of adopting the plan. The town’s redevelopment counsel Steve Mlenack told the audience that two meetings of Princeton Council, a Planning Board meeting, and a public hearing are involved in the process. Following that, the town will negotiate a redevelopment agreement with the developer before the regular site plan review is undertaken. The Seminary had originally considered building new student apartments at the site, which was designated an area in need of redevelopment in October 2018. But the plans for student apartments were withdrawn by the Seminary in the fall of 2019. Last year, three early 20th century buildings considered beyond restoring were torn down. Herring said that the development, which borders a

residential neighborhood, would be a mix of studio, onebedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, some of which would include a den. The target tenants are empty nesters, young professionals, and Princeton University alumni. The property is made up of two parcels divided by Hibben Road, and would include a new road built within the main section. Cars would enter from Stockton Street. Hoboken-based Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architecture is the designer of the project, with local architect Marina Rubina as strategic architectural consultant. Most of the parking for the apartment would be underground. Open space and stormwater controls would be a focus. Recycled materials, LED lighting, and Energy Star appliances would be used. Smart growth practices would be followed. Speaking on behalf of the board of the organization Princeton Future, Sheldon Sturges said the group was pleased to see the process that is underway. In its previous life as part of the Seminary, the property was considered a gateway to Princeton. “We believe the new development can be more than a gateway, rather a visual statement that people have already entered into a residential neighborhood,” which would get motorists to slow down,” he said. Neighborhood resident and empty nester Andrea Gaynor and her husband are in the process of selling their home of 32 years. While many of their friends “have jumped

the river to Bucks” or moved elsewhere, she welcomes the idea of the new development, she said. It would be a benefit for Princeton if retirees who want to stay in the community and volunteer would be able to do so. Real estate agent Tony DiMeglio said neighborhood residents who are worried about property values going down shouldn’t be concerned. In the last year, four houses in the neighborhood have sold for over $4.5 million, “so the question of home values of what this project is going to be is a non-issue. The need is for housing here is for rightsizing, not downsizing. This is the future of housing.” Neighborhood resident Jessica Vieira commented that while the concept plan looks aesthetically pleasing, she is worried about traffic. “The traffic on 206 is horrible, and I’m not sure how you’re going to get 221 cars out of a development when there are 18 wheelers coming down 206. Finding a way to get all of that 206 cut-through traffic away will help your project tremendously and help our neighborhood stay as residential as you’re proposing it to be.” Karen O’Connell, who lives on Hibben Road, said she and her neighbors have had many things promised to them during the process, including that no redevelopment of the site would be decided upon without a mutually acceptable plan. She read a letter sent to residents two years ago promising a collaborative effort between the contract

occasions,” she said, “to no avail, and in good faith. I ask the Council to make good on their commitment and allow us to provide meaningful input, and, as the municipality’s own lawyer has stated, work together to achieve a mutually acceptable plan.” Carol Golden, who sits on the town’s Affordable Housing Board as well as the board of Housing Initiatives of Princeton, said the smart growth aspects of the proposal “really hit home for me. Many of the families we provide our own transitional housing for, we hope one day will graduate and be able to live in the affordable units in this new project. They really need access to town, the trains, and the bus lines.” Betsy Brown, who lives on Edgehill Street, said the people who created the concept plan must not be familiar with the traffic on Route 206. “You are out of your mind,” she said. “This is the most polluted block in Princeton.” Bown and her husband can no longer walk along 206 to Marquand Park, instead using Mercer Street because the fumes gave her headaches. “You have no sense of reality,” she said. “You have these absurd pictures of one or two graceful little cars on the road when it’s truck after truck, and because it’s New Jersey, these are old trucks with diesel and smoke. If you can clean up 206, then go ahead and build. But if you can’t, you’re creating a death trap.” —Anne Levin

The Arts and Health Are Focus of Initiative

Several arts and cultural or ga n i z at ion s i n Me rc e r County have come together as one coalition called Arts & Health Mercer to promote the health benefits of the arts. Throughout the month of November, which is Arts and Health Month, the collaborative will present special events and programming. Research has shown that attending concerts or visiting museums once or twice a month can reduce the risk of depression in adults over 50 by 47 percent. Adolescents who participate in the arts are 24 percent less likely to experience depression. The initiative will kick off with an opening celebration on Saturday, November 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Robert Wood Johnson

community to engage in the arts. No experience is necessary, just a desire to tap into your creative side and immerse yourself, even for an hour or two, in music, theater, painting, whatever it is that brings you joy and encourages expression,” said Aylin Green, executive director of West Windsor Arts. A full calendar of programming, with more details and additional programs, is at artshealthmercer.org.

Fitness and Wellness Center in Hamilton. “It will be a day of live music, theater, reflection, art making, and community building,” said Janie Hermann, adult programming manager at the Princeton Public Library.

Purcell emphasized that the Municipal Engineering Department works closely with Mercer County and New Jersey state authorities, and with Princeton University. “We work cooperatively, and the public should know we’re constantly working out traffic issues in communication with fire and police departments and PFARS — letting them know what’s happening and getting information back from them,” he said. “We also keep the school district informed.” He went on to point out that the engineering department appreciates input from locals. “We don’t mind when the public reaches out,” he said. “Sometimes they tell us something we don’t already know. Then we can fix the situation. We rely on residents to be our eyes and ears.” Individuals can sign up for Nixle alerts to get updates as they occur. —Donald Gilpin

“War of the Worlds” Anniversary Gathering

Members of the Delaware Valley Radio Association (DVRA) will gather to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the iconic “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast on Sunday, October 29 from 12-5 p.m. at Van Nest Park picnic pavilion, 218 Cranbury Road in West Windsor. “War of the Worlds” was created by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater of the Air. Members of the DVRA will set up a temporary special event station, at the spot known locally as Grovers Mill, where Welles’ fictional Martian invaders landed. Visitors are welcome and ham radio operators are encouraged to contact the station via “HF” or shortwave bands. For more information, visit w2zq.com. Based on the H.G. Wells novel, the 1938 CBS radio broadcast was conceived to mimic news reporting of a “live” event, with breathless announcers in the field describing the unimaginable — a large force of alien invaders from the planet Mars — wreaking havoc on planet Earth. The radio team chose Grovers Mill as the site where the belligerents first landed before launching lethal gas attacks in the New York metropolitan area. The production was so convincing that some listeners believed aliens had actually landed in rural New Jersey. The next morning, newspaper headlines reported “mass hysteria” and other hyperbole, flames that Welles and his colleagues happily fanned for the publicity. Historians argue the hysteria was anything but mass. But the broadcast made an impact, which is why it is rebroadcast on Halloween every year around the world.

Thanking All Those Helped Make Annual Book Sale a Big Success

She applies these skills to addressing the myriad of issues facing the Princeton Public Schools, always seeking first to understand and then to work toward solutions. Princeton’s school system is at a critical juncture as it faces numerous important and time sensitive challenges. The significant boom in multifamily housing will bring a concomitant increase in the student population. Accommodating this expansion while ensuring quality of education will not be easy, particularly in an inflationary environment. In her role as cochair of the long range planning committee, Beth has spent the past several years studying this issue and collaborating with others to arrive at plans that will meet the needs of future students within fiscally responsible and feasible parameters. We believe there is nobody more qualified to continue this important work than Beth. Serving on Princeton’s Board of Education requires dedication and steadfastness. It is year-round volunteer work that entails at least 20 hours a week of meetings and preparation. Effective Board service requires working constructively alongside fellow Board members, the administration, and the community to arrive at workable solutions to ensure that Princeton’s children have a school system we can all be proud of, now and in the future. Beth’s experience, work ethic, compassion, and calm demeanor make her an ideal person to help the district navigate its many challenges. We encourage you to vote for Beth Behrend for School Board at the November 7 election. KAREN AND ARCHIE REID Westcott Road LORI WEIR AND BRIG HENDERSON Stuart Road East

excellence. And every child deserves to be treated with equity, with no differentiation in how they are assessed, placed, rewarded, or punished. Equality means, without distinction, equal access to a broad range of opportunities. That means that every child has the same opportunity to participate in programs, sports, the arts, educational excursions, travel abroad, and the same opportunities to achieve academic excellence. Achieving excellence and equity in education is hard work, and Michele has repeatedly demonstrated her commitment to doing this work. Being on the BOE can be taxing and time consuming, often requiring a commitment of up to 20 hours per week, making difficult decisions, rising above the political fray, staying true to one’s core values, understanding the legal constraints and fiduciary responsibilities of the position, and above all, prioritizing the safety (physical and emotional) of our children. Michele has consistently demonstrated her unwavering commitment to advocating for our children. We are privileged to know Michele on a personal level. We have witnessed her heart in action and observed her steadfast commitment and devotion to every child in the Princeton Public Schools, and that is why we are voting for Michele Tuck-Ponder for Princeton BOE. We hope you will, too. RAPHAEL ARYEETEY Greenbriar Row IONA HARDING Fisher Avenue

To the Editor: The Friends and Foundation of the Princeton Public Library would like to thank everyone who joined us on Saturday, October 21, for our Beyond Words fundraiser to support the library. The evening began at the Nassau Presbyterian Church with our guest author Curtis Chin in conversation with Amy Jo Burns. We continued to the Quadrangle Club for cocktails, silent auctions, dinner, and dancing. Many thanks to our corporate partners and business sponsors, auction donors, and attendees — your generous support enables us to provide funding for new print and digital collections, as well as amazing public programming for the library. Thank you for making Beyond Words 2023 such a memorable and successful evening!

To the Editor: Thank you to everyone who helped to make the Friends and Foundation of Princeton Public Library’s 2023 Annual Book Sale a huge success! An offering of 10,000 books was on display over the three-day event which was ably mounted and run by our faithful volunteers. This event takes months of planning, and relies on the commitment and skills of a small army of people. We are thankful for our dedicated volunteers who work throughout the year sorting and pricing thousands of book donations, and for the volunteers and library staff who set up and ensured the event ran smoothly. We are grateful for our faithful customers who return each year, and for the many new customers who visited us for the first time. We owe our success in the annual sale and our year-round bookstore to the local community for their generous donations of new and gently used books and media throughout the year. Please go to our website (princetonlibrary.org/booksales) for more information about donating books, our bookstore, and any upcoming sales. Please visit our Gently Used Bookstore in the PPL lobby, which is replenished every day. We look forward to another successful Annual Book Sale in 2024!

They are not creating massive buildings in order to promote affordable housing. The developers cannot legally obtain the approvals they need without allocating 20 percent of their new buildings to affordable housing. Again, they are motivated by their own profit-making goals, not what is best for the community. The new Master Plan is flawed for the following reasons. 1. It does not consider the impact of increased traffic and parking problems. Supposedly, the residents of these new buildings will be young, single people or older couples with no children. They will work from home and bike around town. Really? The work from home trend was born of necessity during COVID and is waning. Many people (educators and medical professionals, for example) cannot work from home. Our existing problems will only become worse. 2. Unless the corporations which earn their profits by creating new buildings practice discrimination, it is not possible to limit renters to single professionals and childless couples.

Temporomandibular Joint Pain & How Physical Therapy Can Help The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint that connects your skull to your jaw, and is the primary joint that is used when speaking, chewing, biting and yawning. About 12% of Americans experience jaw pain, tenderness, and restricted motion due to a Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Usually, TMD is characterized by jaw pain, audible sounds with jaw movement like clicking or popping, an inability to open jaw wide, locked jaw and/or bite discomfort. There are many muscles in the face, jaw and neck that support the TMJ.

An Evening with Jhumpa Lahiri, Patrick McDonnell Discusses Zahid R. Chaudhary at McCarter His Tribute to Marvel Heroes

Celebrated writer Jhumpa Lahiri returns to Princeton with scholar Zahid R. Chaudhary at the McCarter Theatre Center on Thursday, November 2, at 7:30 p.m. The event is presented by McCarter, Labyrinth Books, and Princeton Public Library and is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council. Pulitzer Prize-winner Lahiri, who recently was a Princeton University professor of creative writing, will discuss her newest collection of short stories, which she wrote in Italian and then co-translated into English; her life’s work; and the power of translation. This is a ticketed event. The price of a ticket includes a copy of Roman Stories (Knopf, $27). Ticket information is at mccarter.org At age 45, Italian became Lahiri’s new adoptive language. In Roman Stories, her first story collection since the New York Times best-selling Unaccustomed Earth, Rome — metropolis and monument, suspended between past and future, multi-faceted and metaphysical — is the protagonist, not the setting. These stories are translated by the author and by Knopf editor Todd Portnowitz. Currently Professor of English and Director of Creative Writing at Barnard College, Lahiri received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for Interpreter of Maladies. In 2014, she was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barak Obama. Chaudhary teaches British and Postcolonial literature in the English Department at Princeton University and is a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. He is the author of Afterimage of Empire: 19th Century Photography in India. His forthcoming book is Unruly Truth: Psychopolitics and the Crises of Authority.

Comic strip creator and author Patrick McDonnell will have a conversation with podcaster Gil Roth Saturday, October 28, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Princeton Public Library Community Room. The event is being held by the library and Labyrinth Books. A book signing will follow. McDonnell’s tr ibute to classic Marvel heroes, The Super Hero’s Journey (Harry N. Abrams, $29.99), is an adventure imbued with the creativity, artwork, and passion of McDonnell, the creator of the comic strip MUTTS. This new love letter to the graphic novel features The Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther, Spider-Man, and others. Using the Marvel Universe as avatars, McDonnell muses on how comics changed his life and inspired him to become a cartoonist, instilling a moral sensibility that he carries through his work and his life. The Super Hero’s Journey incor porates panels from classic Marvel comics as McDonnell’s tribute to his heroes — Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and the other creators of the Marvel Universe, alongside inspirational quotes from Eckhart Tolle, Thoreau, and others. “The Super Hero’s Journey is a powerful argument for how the comic book art form makes a positive impact in our lives,” writes Alex Ross, author of Fantastic Four: Full Circle. “It is a genuinely moving treatise on the inspiration we can take from others, and an antidote for cynicism.” McDonnell is an author, illustrator, playwright, painter, and creator of MUTTS, which appears in more than 700 newspapers around the world. He has received a Caldecott Honor and the Reuben, the highest honor given by the National Cartoonists Societ y, among other awards. His books include The Art of Nothing,

Ukrainian poetry in translation is the topic of an event at Labyrinth Books when Ilya Kaminsky, Katie Farris, Maya Chabra, Andrew Janco, and Olga Livshin gather on Wednesday, November 1 at 6 p.m. These poets and translators from two new books consider what it means to be Ukrainian during unthinkable times. Featured are In the Hour of War: Poems from Ukraine (Arrowsmith Press, $22 paperback), edited by Carolyn Forché and Kaminsky, and Today is a Different War (Arrowsmith Press, $18) by Lyudmyla Khersonska. Translated into English by Livshin, Janco, Chhabra, and Lev Fridman, the poems in Today is a Different War capture the duality of fear and bravery, anger and love, despair and hope, as well as the numbness and deep feeling of what it means to be Ukrainian in these dark times. Kaminsky was born in Odesa, Ukraine, and now lives in the United States. He is the author of two poetry collections, Dancing in Odessa and The Deaf Republic. His works also include translations, essays, and anthologies. He is a professor of creative writing at Princeton University. Farris, recent winner of the Pushcart Prize, is the author of the memoir-in-poems, Standing in the Forest of Being Alive. She is also the author of the hybridform text boysgirls, and the chapbooks A Net to Catch My Body in its Weaving, Thirteen Intimacies, and Mother Superior in Hell. She is currently visiting associate professor of poetry at Princeton University. Ch habra’s t ranslat ions have appeared in The White Review, Cardinal Points, and Poetry Travels. She is the author of a novel in verse, Chiara in the Dark, and several other children’s books, including Stranger on the Home Front. Her shor t stories and original poetry have appeared in Strange Horizons, PodCastle, and various anthologies. Janco’s translations are published in The New York Times, Ploughshares, and other journals, and are included in the antholog y Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine. With Olga Livshin, he is the co-translator of A Man Only Needs a Room, a volume of Vladimir Gandelsman’s poetry. Livshin’s poetry and translations appear in The New York Times, Ploughshares, the Kenyon Review, and other journals. She is the author of A Life Replaced: Poems w ith translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman. She is a co-translator of A Man Only Needs a Room. This event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, Humanities Council, and Slavic Languages and Literatures and Comparative Literature Departments.

Finding Taylor Swift I didn’t know what I would find When I went looking for a reason... —Taylor Swift, from “The Outside” didn’t know what I’d find when I went looking for a reason to go downtown last week. The last thing I expected was a paperback at Labyrinth called Taylor Swift In Her Own Words (Agate $12.95), edited by Helena Hunt. All I knew of her at that moment was the spectacular silver on black image looming on the cover of the December 15 New York Times Magazine (“The Kingdom of Taylor”). The faceless figure framed in black reminded me of nothing so much as a sexy, satiny, silverbooted, silver lamé alien, an ideal mate for Gort, Klaatu’s armor-plated robot in the original Day The Earth Stood Still (1951). So that was Taylor Swift? Really? Still, the grotesque, off-putting image made me curious. I didn’t know Swift’s music, couldn’t have named a single song, and found the idea of her billion-dollar Gala Tour totally unappealing. Not really expecting to find her in “her own words,” I opened the book and read the first thing she had to say, which was set apart on a single page in front: “I feel no need to burn down the house I built by hand. I can make additions to it. I can redecorate. But I built this.” Right away I was asking myself, “Who is this person whose illustrious namesake, the author of Gulliver’s Travels, might have written those words, such was their cranky, in-your-face command of the moment. What followed was admittedly less Swiftian: “And I’m not going to sit there and say, ‘Oh, I wish I hadn’t had corkscrew-curly hair and worn cowboy boots and sundresses to awards shows when I was 17’.... Because I made those choices, I did that. It was part of me growing up. It wasn’t some committee going ‘You know what Tayor needs to be this year?’” Never mind, the opening sentence about burning down the house was worth a thousand glitzy cover images, so I bought the book. “The Outside” Since the first song mentioned in Hunt’s introduction is “The Outside,” I listened to it on YouTube and liked it. When I listened to it again, it made me smile, inside and out. Would it have made the great Swift smile? A voice as pure as this one, give or take a couple of centuries? Yes, why not? Although the lyric is based on “the bullying and isolation” Swift suffered in junior high, you don’t need to know the back story to find pleasure in the music, the words, and the singing because she’s bringing you into the song, spacing each line just so, lifting you with her when she goes high on “I” and “try.” And she wrote it when she was 12. Next day I went to the Record Exchange and bought 1989, the album Swift named

after the year of her birth and released in 2014. It turns out that 1989 was in fact the subject of the book’s opening statement, taken from a May 7, 2015 interview in Elle in which Swift goes on to say “we gave the entire metaphorical house I built a complete renovation.” Listening to the album as I drove around town in a light rain, I was pleasantly surprised by the first track, “Welcome to New York,” a celebration of the city with a half-sung, half-spoken rap-style a cappella sweet spot that I related to instantly as a lovelorn New Yorker in exile since 2019: “Like any great love, it keeps you guessing. Like any real love, it’s ever-changing. Like any true love, it drives you crazy.” 1920s to 2020s So, after the previous weeks dr iv ing around town listening to songs from the 1920s like “You Took Advantage of Me” and “That’s My Weakness Now,” I was hearing elaborately layered synth-pop tunes from the 2020s w it h proces s ed backing vocals that actually seemed to have more in common with Paul Whitman’s grandiosely orchestrated golden oldies than edgy songs of the 1960s like “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Paint It Black.” Why should this be so? Maybe because something stylized in the production transcended the decades or because the connections music makes over vast spans of time and space are fascinating and unfathomable. That may explain why I got out of the car whistling Bruce Springsteen’s addictive “Dancing in the Dark” from 1984 with its subtle intimations of Swift’s no less addictive “Blank Space,” which opens with lines like “I could show you incredible things, magic, madness, heaven, sin,” spiced with Swiftian zingers (“I can read you like a magazine”) and one that evoked the Brobdingnagian creature on the cover of the Times magazine: “I’m a nightmare dressed as a daydream.” Out of Style Some listeners who bonded with Swift’s country music no doubt responded to the brave new world of 1989 the way folk purists did to Bob Dylan’s venture into electric rock, a possibility she discusses in “Empire Builder,” part two of In Her Own Words. When she began gravitating toward “late 80s-infused synth-pop,”

Scott Borchetta, the CEO of her label Big Machine, “went into a state of semi-panic,” pleading “Can you just give me three country songs? ” She refused “because it felt disingenuous to try to exploit two genres when your album falls into only one.” She also linked the change to her decision to move from Nashville to New York City, which she finds hard “to compare to any other force of inspiration I’ve ever experienced in my life. It’s like an electric city.” In that sense New York is there not just as the subject of the first track but flashing city-city-city somewhere in the soundscape of every song. Words That Dance As the arc of her career suggests (think of a comet), even as Swift’s songs were winning country music awards, they were crossing over to a larger audience, as happened in 2008, the year she graduated from high school, when “Love Story” appeared on both pop and country charts. Meanwhile Fearless, the record it came from, was on its way to becoming the best-selling album of 2009. The song “Style” on 1989 jests at the tyranny of genres, as Swift shows in the wildly inventive video she conceived, directed, and performed in, and in lyrics like “You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye. And I got that red lip classic thing that you like. And when we go crashing down, we come back every time. ‘Cause we never go out of style’....” Even without the music, those jazzy spondees beg to be danced to when you’re driving a 20-something Honda CRV road tested to Moby’s “Feeling So Real.” In fact it was my background in Mobynomics that made it easier for me to relate to the 1989 experience, which also reflects, as Swift admits, the influence of Peter Gabriel and Annie Lennox and the music of the 80s. The entertainment establishment made the adjustment bigtime, with 1989 winning Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards. The record of the moment for me the year Taylor Swift was born was Kate Bush’s The Sensual World, which features one of her most moving songs, “This Woman’s Work.” I can feel something like the same inspirational pulse beating in Swift’s beautiful “This Love,”

particularly in the chorus, “This love is good, this love is bad, this love is alive back from the dead.” Reborn As Swift announced in August during the Gala Tour, 1989 has a double life. Because of a dispute about the ownership of her back catalogue, she re-recorded the work and will release it as 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on October 27 of this year, the same date the original was released in 2014. Included will be five tracks “from the vault” that never appeared on the 2014 incarnation, including “You Are In Love,” which has the same subtle incantatory flow as “This Love.” Set with the first words, “One look, dark room,” the phrasing builds toward a modest but deeply felt revelation: “One step, not much / But it said enough / You kiss on sidewalks / You fight and you talk / One night he wakes / Strange look on his face, / Pauses, then says, / You’re my best friend / And you knew what it was / He is in love.” Swift and McCartney In Her Own Words was published in 2019 as the world was about to disappear into the Never Never Land of the pandemic. In October 2020, Swift visited Paul McCartney in his London office, where they discussed the albums they recorded during lockdown, Swift’s Folklore and McCartney’s McCartney III. In the get-together, which was featured in Rolling Stone, they’d been talking about their work for some time when Swift said, “There’s so much stress everywhere you turn that I kind of wanted to make an album that felt sort of like a hug, or like your favorite sweater that makes you feel like you want to put it on.” On cue, McCartney says, “What, a cardigan?” And Swift says, “Like a good cardigan, a good, worn-in cardigan,” a reference to one of Folklore’s most haunting tracks. The Ultimate Connection wo years ago this month, I made a similar discovery, except that the person I found was not a worldfamous star fresh from a record-setting world tour, but an actress I’d never heard of, Jessie Buckley, who plays the title role in Wild Rose, a 2018 film about a country singer from Glasgow whose dream is to go to Nashville and make a name for herself — like Taylor Swift, whose determination to make it in Nashville inspired her family to relocate there. So here are two short-skirted, cowboy-boots-wearing country singers, one a dark blonde from Reading, Pennsylvania, and the other a redhead from Killarney, Ireland, and they were born 15 days apart, Swift on December 13, 1989, Buckley on December 28. How’s that for a connection? In the words of the other Swift, by way of Lemuel Gulliver,” nothing is great or little otherwise than by comparison.” —Stuart Mitchner

New Jersey Symphony Opens Princeton Series with Evening of Romantic Music

Thursday, October 26, 2023 6PM & 9PM Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall TICKETS: PUC.PRINCETON.EDU | 609.258.9220 $40 General $10 Students

ew Jersey Symphony has long provided a showcase for up-and-coming artists destined for the forefront of the performing arena. The Symphony’s opening concert of its Princeton series this past Friday night at Richardson Auditorium brought together a conductor and solo cellist currently relatively unknown, but not for long. Conductor Joseph Young, music director of the Berkeley Symphony and director of ensembles at Peabody Conservatory, led the Symphony musicians in a program of Robert Schumann, Edward Elgar, and the Princeton University-connected Jessie Montgomery, and featured in the Schumann Cello Concerto was a definite future star in cellist Sterling Elliott, currently pursuing an artist diploma at The Juilliard School. The three pieces performed in Friday night’s concert highlighted unique instrumentation, rich orchestral colors, and a touch of virtuosity. American composer Jessie Montgomery has had a partnership with Princeton University as a graduate fellow in music composition and has been making a name for herself creating musical works for ensembles nationwide. Among her most recent commissions was Snapshots, co-commissioned by several orchestras, including New Jersey Symphony. Friday night’s performance represented the East Coast premiere of Montgomery’s four-movement work, which Montgomery has described as a set of vignettes of her time studying film music. From the outset of Montgomery’s piece, conductor Young led the music cleanly, maintaining solid control. The two outer movements were dance-inspired, and the players retained a continually intense and dramatic sound. Despite the full symphonic palette, individual instruments could clearly be heard. In this work, Montgomery has created unusual instrumental combinations and effects, including pairing harp and celeste, accompanied by feathery strings. Chimes and a wide range of percussion marked the second movement, with Juan Esteban Martinez’s solo clarinet playing cutting through the thick texture well. A horn solo from Chris Komer added suspense to the third movement, while Montgomery’s orchestration provided unusual colors with bass clarinet, solo violin, and a very busy percussion section. Young and New Jersey Symphony assembled a smaller ensemble for Schumann’s Cello Concerto in A Minor, a work which brought out both the expressive capabilities of the cello and the lush Romanticism of the mid-19th century. Schumann played cello as a youth and clearly had

an affinity for the instrument, composing this work in a mere 15 days. Guest cello soloist Sterling Elliott has made a number of impressive debuts given his young age. He recently received a Medal of Excellence from the Sphinx Organization, with which Jessie Montgomery has been composer-inresidence, and proved himself well capable of handling the technical requirements of Schumann’s music. In the opening movement, Elliott’s solo playing subtly emerged from the orchestral texture to an undulating accompaniment. Playing with a great deal of vibrato in the opening passages, Elliott easily found the intensity of the music as Young led the players to a full symphonic sound. Elliott concurrently found a sweetness in the melodic lines, and Young and the musicians changed musical moods smoothly. Elliott was joined in the second movement “Langsam” by principal cellist Jonthan Spitz playing an elegant solo countermelody against steady pizzicato from the string sections. The closing movement demanded the most from the solo cellist, with Elliott’s fingering racing from bottom to top of the instrument, especially taking his time in the cadenza. In describing his background to the audience, Elliott said that his roots are not just classical, but infused with jazz, hip hop, bluegrass, and a myriad of other styles, which was clear in his ability to handle this complex and demanding work. ew Jersey Symphony concluded Friday night’s concert with a spirited performance of an intricate and ingenious work. Sir Edward Elgar’s 1899 Variations on an Original Theme, known as the “Enigma” Variations, was, like Montgomery’s Snapshots, a set of vignettes, each referencing one of Elgar’s friends or family members. The 14 short movements varied greatly in style and orchestration, offering opportunities for instruments to individually shine. The musicians played the languid opening theme with a shade of mystery, as Young conducted with broad gestures. Very full brass marked the second variation (representing a pianist colleague) while rich strings depicted a viola student acquaintance in the sixth movement. Clarinetists Martinez and Andrew Lamy led crisp wind passages in the eighth movement, and Young effectively drew out the majestic lines of the familiar and regal “Nimrod” variation. Elgar saved the most significant use of percussion for the “Finale,” which aided in bringing the musical evening to a joyous close. —Nancy Plum

New Jersey Symphony will present its next Princeton concert on Friday, December 15 at 8 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium. Conducted by Nicholas McGegan and also including the Montclair State University Singers, this performance will feature G.F. Handel’s “Messiah.” Ticket information can be obtained by visiting njsymphony.org.

MOZART UPDATED: The Princeton Symphony Orchestra and the Westminster Symphonic Choir join forces to perform Gregory Spears’ 21st century completion of Mozart’s “Requiem.”

A Modern Day Take on A Mozart Masterwork

Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) Music Director Rossen Milanov leads the orchestra in per formances of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in a 21st century completion by Gregory Spears on Saturday, November 11 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, November 12 at 4 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium. The Sunday performance will be preceded by a 3 p.m. pre-concert talk featuring Milanov and composer Spears. Performing Mozart’s masterpiece with the PSO are the Westminster Symphonic Choir and four soloists: Abigail Rethwisch, soprano; Chelsea L aggan, mezzo soprano ; Carlos Enrique Santelli, tenor; and Eric McKeever, baritone. Leading off the program is Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte, a modernday take on minuet and trio classical form, which was premiered at Princeton University in 2011. C om p o s e r s h ave lon g looked to earlier works for inspiration. Mozart himself borrowed from Handel’s “Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline” at the start of his Requiem. According to Milanov, today’s composers also draw upon the past. “Caroline’s piece was sparked by the Brentano String Quartet’s performance of a minuet by Haydn, and Gregory Spears is among the latest to complete Mozart’s stirring work, drawing upon traditional liturgical music and passages from an earlier completion of the Requiem by ( Franz) Süssmayr,” he said. “Yet Gregory deftly balances these influences with his own compositional style, making his mark with a fresh Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei for today’s audiences.” Recognized as one of the world’s leading symphonic choral ensembles, the Westminster Symphonic Choir, conducted by James Jordan and Associate Conductor Tyler Weakland, has recorded and performed with major orchestras under virtually ever y internationally acclaimed conductor of the past 90 years. Recent seasons have included a performance of Holst’s The Planets with The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Cr i s t i a n M a c e l a r u ; t h e

prem iere of Machover’s Philadelphia Voices with The Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Yannick NézetSéguin; Mozart’s Mass in C Minor with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado; Handel’s Messiah with the New York Philhar monic conducted by A ndrew Ma n ze ; a nd Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Milanov. Spears is a New Yorkbased composer who has been commissioned by The New York Philharmonic, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Santa Fe Opera, Cincinnati Opera, Houston Grand Opera, and The Crossing, among many others. His Requiem was released by New Amsterdam records in 2011. He has been an artist-in-residence at the Aaron Copland House, and was a participant and later a composer mentor for The American Opera Project’s Composers and the Voice program. He holds degrees in composition from Eastman School of Music (BM), Yale School of Music (MM), and Princeton (Ph.D.). He also studied as a Fulbright Scholar at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen with Hans Abrahamsen. He currently teaches composition and orchestration at Purchase College Conservatory (SUNY).

Halloween Night Concert At Einstein’s House

A free musical performance by violinist Adrienne Walsh on Halloween will commemorate some local lore about Albert Einstein, who was an amateur violinist. Walsh will play on the porch of the house where Einstein lived, at 112 Mercer Street, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Einstein moved to Princeton on October 17, 1933 to join the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study. Two weeks later, on Halloween night, legend has it that when a group of children

knocked on his door and called out “Trick or Treat!”, Einstein, unfamiliar with the tradition, came to the front porch and provided a treat of a musical variety: he serenaded them with his violin. Walsh’s performance on Halloween commemorates this story, and pays homage to Einstein’s role as an active member of the wider Princeton community. He was known to host regular chamber music sessions at his home while serving on the IAS Faculty until his death in 1955. Walsh is a professional violinist and pianist who plays regularly with Symphony in C in Philadelphia and the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. She also freelances with various classical groups including the New Jersey State Opera and the Center City Opera in Philadelphia. She has toured in Italy and Austria with various orchestras and has performed with soloists including Emmanuel Ax and Midori. She studied violin with Arnold Grossi and David Arben, first violinist and associate concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, respectively. She also studied piano with Marion Zarzecna of the Curtis Institute. Walsh has been teaching piano and violin for many years and her students have been invited to audition and been accepted by both Juilliard, Mannes College New School of Music in New York, and Rowan University. Her piano students have participated in the Princeton Festival Piano Competition, and her violin students have auditioned and been accepted to the Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra. She currently holds a full teaching schedule in addition to her performance schedule as an orchestra member.

Young French Stars Make Princeton Debuts

After opening the Performances Up Close series on October 8, Princeton University Concerts (PUC) will offer two more fall programs in the series that invite audiences to sit on the stage of Richardson Auditorium alongside the musicians. The programs, featuring baroque violinist Theotime L anglois de Swar te and harpsichordist Justin Taylor on Thursday, October 26 at 6 and 9 p.m.; and harpsichordist Jean Rondeau on Wednesday, November 8

at 6 and 9 p.m.; both celebrate young French musicians who are delivering the sound of the baroque era in new ways. “Last season, our audience was enamored and inspired by the young artists of the Jupiter Ensemble who breathed new life into a program of early music,” said Marna Seltzer, PUC director. “Both of our upcoming fall Performances Up Close programs feature artists who are members of the Jupiter Ensemble, and they bring with them a similarly dazzling approach to early music and period instruments.” The October 26 program highlights the glamorous spirit characterizing music of the 18th century, with works by Bach, Corelli, and Purcell. The November 9 event, titled “Gradus Ad Parnassum,’ asks the audience to consider what music originally written for the piano might illuminate about the harpsichord, and what the harpsichord might reveal about music composed for piano. Works by Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart are included. For more information, visit puc.princeton.edu or call (609) 258-2800.

“Clear the Studio” event, I will greatly reduce the prices on the art to the point that everyone can own an original artwork. The sale of these works will help me to reclaim some much needed space in my studio and help to fund these two deserving nonprofits, making this a win-win for all concerned. I’ve had a long-term involvement with both institutions as an instructor and an exhibitor, and I know firsthand how hard their staffs work and care for the arts and continue to bring art to the area. This is a way I can help and I’m happy to do it ” Adam Welch, executive director for the Arts Council of Princeton, said “Charles has always been a v ital member of our faculty and community, and this event is just another way that he has been engaged with ACP in and out of the studio.” Carol Cruicks hanks, executive director of the New Hope Arts Center, added, “The generosity of artists like Charles is what keeps us going.” The New Hope Arts Center A-Space Gallery is located at 2 Stockton Street in New Hope, Pa.

Lee’s “Threading Memories” Exhibit at Art@Bainbridge

“Threading Memories,” Korean-born artist MiKyoung Lee’s first solo museum exhibition, is on view at the Princeton Universit y Ar t Museum’s Art@Bainbridge galleries through January 7. The exhibition, which feat ures r ich ly tex t ured large-scale sculptures and wall-mounted works, explores themes of domesticity, family ties, and the ways in which we process memory and experience. The exhibition was shaped by the artist’s early fascination with the textiles present in her childhood homes in Korea. The weaving methods of those textiles inform Lee’s practice of twisting and knotting mass-produced products such as pipe cleaners, zip ties, and twist ties, producing objects that process and memorialize earlier chapters in her life. “MiKyoung Lee’s works are a perfect fit for the Art@ Bainbridge galleries, with intimacy, domesticity, and reflection at their core,” said Zoe S. Kwok, Nancy and Peter Lee Associate Curator of Asian Art. “We are delighted to have these thoughtful works on display that evocatively capture what many people contend with — how to process and reflect upon memories of our lives.” Among the highlights of the exhibition is Bubble, an installation of three hanging sculptures whose amorphous forms were created in response to the ways the mind works in the relaxed — but sometimes fraught — state of sleep. The undulating forms reflect the importance of dreams to processing and rev ising memories, anxieties, and hopes. The installation has an inherent “floating” quality, hovering like a dream bet ween sleep and consciousness. One gallery in the exhibition focuses on nature, dr aw i ng on t h e ar t is t’s exper iences v isiting her grandmother in her village on Geoje Island at the southernmost tip of the Korean

“BUBBLE”: This work by MiKyoung Lee is featured in “Threading Memories,” on view at the Princeton University Art Museum’s Art@Bainbridge on Nassau Street through January 7. peninsula. The rural area — which has no stores or cars — provided an environment in which the future artist played with other children from sunrise to sunset. Also on view is a group of works dealing with traditional labor and its gendered practices. Lee grew up surrounded by women who wove blan kets and stitched clothes in longestablished traditions of fiber craft. The works of art in this gallery are threaded and stitched “drawings,” illustrated odes to fiber work and to the women who perform it. To create Untitled, the largest piece in the gallery, Lee worked countless single strands of thread over several weeks; the density of the pattern suggests the time-intensive process. One of the earliest objects in the exhibition, Bubble #3 (2008) is a bold sculptural form in an assertive red color. The shape of the sculpture and its color reference a woman’s womb, evoking both a sense of nurturing comfort and also hinting at

the seismic changes to the female body brought on by childbirth. “In my work, I see a metaphor for life,” said Lee. “The layers of tangles and twists in my works are a significant part of life. Accumulating tangles is part of life. The threads in these seem chaotically ordered, but they come together beautifully; they become reordered to create something new, with new textures and contours. I really love these ways of thinking of life.” Lee was born in Geoje Cit y, S out h Korea. She trained in fiber arts, printing, drawing, and fashion in Korea before emigrating to the United States in 1993. She is now the director of the School of Art, Design and Art History at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Art@Bainbridge is located at 158 Nassau Street and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is free. For more information, visit artmuseum.princeton.edu.

Coming Up with Big Plays on Both Sides of the Ball, PU Football Edges Harvard, Moves Into Tie Atop Ivies

oming off a disappointing 28-27 overtime loss at Brown that dropped it to 2-3 and hosting an undefeated, highpowered Harvard squad, the Princeton University football team underwent some soulsearching last week. “We got together after that last loss, a game we should not have lost, a game where we made some critical errors and we showed up this whole week,” said Princeton senior star linebacker and co-captain Ozzie Nicholas. “We worked really hard. We worked hard on the culture. We worked hard on the scheme. Guys were locked in this week.” In looking to stymie a Crimson squad that came into Saturday averaging 41.2 points a game, the Tigers stuck with a basic scheme. “Our game plan was to do our base defense, our game plan was to fight and just play every snap like we have the whole season,” said Nicholas. “We play great defense and we just decided to do it today. That was our base defense and that is just what we do.” With Princeton jumping out to a 14-0 lead at halftime as Jiggie Carr scored on a 34-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and AJ Barber making an 8-yard TD reception just before halftime, Nicholas fired up by the Tigers’ solid start. “We were all over the place, we were swarming,” said Nicholas of a defensive charge which flustered Harvard star quarterback Charles DePrima, forcing him into an interception and smothering his running game. “The guys were confident. We haven’t felt momentum like that all season and we felt amazing.” In the second half, Harvard seized momentum as DePrima passed for a TD in the third quarter and Shane McLaughlin ran for a score midway through the fourth quarter. “We knew that the first half was good but the second half is where it mattered, that is where the real fight was,” said Nicholas. “They put up two touchdowns, respect to them. They had good drives. We knew what we did wrong. We switched up some schemes and the guys just kept fighting. That is what our team does.” The Tiger offense fought back as Blake Stenstrom

found Connor Hulstein for a 10-yard TD pass to put Princeton up 21-14 with 1:28 left in regulation and culminate an 8-play, 45-yard scoring drive. Nicholas and his fellow defenders made one last stand as they turned back the Crimson with Will Perez intercepting a DePrima aerial to close the deal for the Tigers as they prevailed by the 21-14 margin, improving to 3-3 overall and 2-1 Ivy League, jumping into a five-way tie for first place in the league standings. “Coach [Steve ] Verbit can tell you himself, I am in his ear all game, ‘send me coach, send me when it matters,’” said Nicholas, a 6’2, 225-pound native of Encinitas, Calif., who ended the game with a game-high 10 tackles and a sack. “My linebacker coach [Mike] Weick said put it on his shoulders, put it on his back and send him around the edge. We called the same play three times in a row and I was all over that guy.” The Tiger offense did its job when it mattered most with its late scoring march “A key point in practice this week was to start early and finish,” said junior receiver Luke Colella. “We talked about finishing all week. The game plan came out and we did exactly that.” There was a sense of urgency as Princeton started the decisive drive. “It was we have got to get the job done, we can’t stall here,” said Colella. “We have got to get the job done. We lost a close game to Brown last week and we stalled. We just said on the sideline, ‘finish, finish.’” Colella helped set up the big finish, making an 18yard reception on a third down and 9 to get the Tigers to the Harvard 15-yard-line. “I came across the middle, there was a man on me … and man on the other guy coming across and they kind of smacked into each other,” said the 6’0, 190-pound Colella, who made five catches for 98 yards in the win. “Blake gave me a perfect ball in the chest and the rest was just get upfield and get as many yards as we can, get the first down. It was, ‘let’s protect the ball and let’s keep going.’” In Colella’s view, the win could be a turning point for the Tigers as they snapped a two-game losing streak.

“I think learning from the losses helps,” said Colella. “I think our team, our culture came together this week. We said it is time to stand on business. It is time to do what we are supposed to do and what we do day in, day out. Some of those men in there are the hardest workers I have ever been around. They inspire me everyday. When you have got a lot of men doing that together and inspiring each other, there is endless potential there.” Princeton head coach Bob Surace looked to inspire his players as they went through the topsy-turvy contest. “When you have lost close games as a coach, I look at the process. But when you are 20 years old, you look at the result,” said Surace. “I am seeing us growing, just making a little bit of inconsistent error and they are looking at not again. I can be a little negative, but I was going to be up the whole game. I am going to go over to the defense after the second touchdown and saying, ‘we have got this … they are not scoring gain.’ I am going to go to the offense and saying, ‘this is the series.’ Intentionally with a young team, I was going to be really positive.” The Tiger defense turned in a positive effort, limiting Harvard to 220 yards total offense and snaring three interceptions. “They are really good, credit our guys,” said Surace. “I thought we had a really good plan that was executed very well. Their quarterback is one of the best players we have faced. I thought our plan was really good to contain him. It was responsibilities. We did a good job at the line of scrimmage on defense and we kept him in the pocket for the most part which led to some of the plays we made on the ball.” On offense, Princeton did a good job overall despite some untimely penalties. “We got caught in some negative plays in the second half, that is not a defense you want to be second and 14 or have a false start,’ said Surace, who got 244 yards passing from QB Stenstrom with Carr rushing for 56 yards. “They are just too good. We got off track a little. I thought that all of the different things our offensive coaches did to put them in stress with our motions and shifts was a great game plan. Other than the negatives, we executed really well.” Playing at Cornell (3-3 overall, 20-1 Ivy) on October 28, Princeton will have to execute well to remain atop a crowded Ivy race with

DEFENSIVE STAND: Princeton University football players, from left, linebacker Ozzie Nicholas, defensive back Jackson Fischer, and linebacker Liam Johnson celebrate after a stop in recent action. Last Saturday, the Tiger defense came up big as Princeton edged previously undefeated Harvard 21-14. The Tigers, now 3-3 overall and 2-1 Ivy League, moved into a fiveway tie for first place in the league standings. Princeton will play at Cornell (3-3 overall, 2-1 Ivy) on October 28. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Penn and Dartmouth also at 2-1 in addition to the Tigers, Big Red, and Crimson. “I told them, ‘This is great and I want you to enjoy it, but I hope we handle tonight, tomorrow, and Monday because there are no easy weeks right now,’” said Surace. “Everybody is beating each other so if we don’t show up with our best game, it is going to be a long week. Hopefully we keep growing.

We are young. Every week we have grown, I am seeing it. It is still a work in progress, so a win doesn’t change that. We still have work to do. We can’t have a false start, we can’t do 12 men on the field. We had some errors we can’t have.” Nicholas is confident that the Tigers will keep growing as they look to run the table with four games remaining. “It feels amazing, I think

our season has led up to this moment,” said Nicholas. “We have learned how to stay in these dogfights and today we put it away.

As freshman Uma Corniea has emerged as the starting goalie this season for the Princeton Universit y women’s hockey team, she has focused on getting up to speed at the college level. Last Friday, as Princeton hosted No. 5 Yale in its ECAC Hockey opener at Hobey Baker Rink, Corniea got a trial by fire. “The pace is so fast, I am just really honored to be able to play,” said Corniea. “We have two other incredible goalies (Jennifer Olnowich, Taylor Hyland). It is just really a blessing and super fun. Everyone was super ready to go; everything is a lot quicker than I’m used to.”

Yale got off to a quick start, jumping out to a 2-0 lead with 13:22 left in the second period. “They are definitely faster, they work really well together and they have a great goalie (Pia Dukaric) in the back,” said the 5’9 Corniea, a native of Edina, Minn., in assessing the challenges presented by the Bulldogs. “That is what makes them tough to score on. She is so calm, she robbed us sometimes.” While Princeton struggled to find an offensive rhythm, Corniea held the fort, making 24 saves as the score remained at 2-0 until Yale scored an empty net goal

with 1:39 left in regulation to cap off a 3-0 win. As the game went on, Corniea got more and more comfortable. “I was getting more used to it, feeling it out a little bit,” said Corniea. “I felt like I was getting more settled into the game. With every save, I got more rhythm going. I should have controlled the rebound first — you have got to do what you have got to do.” Corniea credited the Tiger blue line unit with stepping up in front of her. “They absolutely killed it, the defenders are incredible,” said Corniea. “They are always supportive, they always backcheck 100 percent. They are amazing people and players.” Wells Tree & Landscape, Inc Producing an amazing de609-430-1195 but, Cornea started her caWellstree.com reer by posting a shutout in a 4-0 win over visiting Robert Morris on October 14.

we had trouble adjusting to the speed of their game and the tenacity of those players. I thought in the second period we really tilted and we were taking it over. We out-chanced them and outshot them in the second period. They had a little adjustment and came back in the third and it was pretty even. The game overall was pretty even, we just couldn’t break through here.” Morey acknowledged that the Tigers could have been sharper at the offensive end. “I thought overall, we probably over-handled the puck a little too much, we tried to do too much individual skill work instead of using our linemates and teammates,” said Morey. “I think we can move the puck a lot better than we did tonight. If you are not moving the puck well and you are playing against a fast, physical, relentless team, you are going to have turnovers and we had too many turnovers tonight.” The Tigers got a superb individual effort from Corniea between the pipes. “Uma d id re ally well. I think she was a lit tle shocked in the first; there was that empty net where she came across and she thought the kid was right there,” said Morey of Corniea, who posted her second shutout with a 17-save performance as Princeton topped Brown 2-0 on Saturday to improve to 3-1 overall and 1-1 ECACH. “It was a way higher level than she had been used to. Uma is a super athlete, she is a phenomenal goalie. She is going to adjust in no time to this.”

SAVING GRACE: Princeton University women’s hockey goalie Uma Corniea makes a save in recent action. Last Saturday, freshman Corniea made 17 saves to help Princeton defeat Brown 2-0 and improve to 3-1 overall and 1-1 ECAC Hockey. It marked Corniea’s second shutout in three appearances this season. The Tigers play at St. Lawrence on October 27 and at Clarkson on October 28. (Photo by Shelley Szwast, provided courtesy of Princeton Athletics) W hile the loss to Yale hurt, Morey likes the upbeat approach she is seeing from her squad. “I am happy w it h t he mentality of this team, they have a lot of positive energy which is great,” said Morey. “It is one loss. We need to feel the sting, but hopefully they keep that positivity and know we have to do better if we want to win in this league. It is the toughest league in college hockey.” The win over Brown a day later was a positive as the Tigers earned their first ECACH win of the season. “How we respond tomorrow is going tell you a lot

about what we are going to do this season,” said Morey, whose team will look to keep on the winning track as it plays at St. Lawrence on October 27 and at Clarkson on October 28. Corniea was ready to put the loss to Yale behind her and move forward to Brown. “It is just think about what I could have done on the goals,” said Corniea. “One of my coaches used to say, ‘think about this one until midnight and then move on.’ That is the plan, so think about it until midnight and then move on.” — Bill Alden

are all best friends on the Tigers on their heels. Sparked by Senior Star Ieva’s Production, Leadership, We With Thielmann Serving as Catalyst for Hun Field Hockey, and off the field. We want to “I keep telling them it is Hun Field Hockey Edges PHS to Earn 1st MCT Crown support each other through like a basketball game, just Raiders Edged Lawrence in MCT Semis on the Way to Title Ali Ieva wasn’t fazed when the Hun School field hockey team found itself trailing Princeton High 2-0 early in the Mercer County Tournament fi nal last Monday evening. “We have been in this situation before, we know how it goes,” said senior forward and co-captain Ieva. “We just come out with a lot of grit. We wanted it so bad. We haven’t been in here since 1994 and we wanted to make history.” The second-seeded Raiders displayed grit, scoring three straight goals to forge ahead of top-seeded PHS heading into the fourth quarter. Ieva tallied the go-ahead goal with 2:55 left in the third quarter. “I was just so excited for my team,” said Ieva, reflecting on her tally. “I was able to get it in in the last minute, I was happy for my team.” But the high-powered Tigers battled back as PHS senior star Delaney Keegan scored with 2:25 left in regulation to force overtime. Hun was undaunted as it headed into OT. “We have a record of winning in overtime so this is nothing new for us,” said Ieva. “We wanted it so bad, we were hungry. We just play three minutes at a time, and we just focused on the win.” The Raiders, though, didn’t win in overtime as neither team could fi nd the cage in 20 minutes of extra action. With the game heading to a penalty shootout, Hun finally pulled out the victory and the

program’s first title as it outdueled PHS 2-1 in the fi ve rounds of the tense shootout. Phoebe Thielmann and Maya Zahlan scored the goals for Hun in the shootout while senior goalie and Lehigh commit Norah Kempson turned away four PHS shots. “We were just trying to take it one at a time,” said Ieva. “I am happy for Norah. She did amazing, we could not have done it without her.” Kempson, for her part, stuck to a routine as she dealt with the pressure of the shootout. “It was breathing, in, out; I have a little ritual, I bang the sides of the goal post and then then inside of my pads and then I just go,” said a grinning Kempson. “I trust my skill, I know that I can do it.” In thwarting the Tiger shooters, Kempson employed a basic strategy. “I force wide and focus on the ball at all times and then when I am out of the goal, I can’t watch or else my thoughts will come back,” said Kempson, who was mobbed by her teammates after stopping the final PHS shot. “I want to keep breathing, that is why I was facing away in the corner the whole time. I just heard the backboard and trusted my team.” For Ieva, the team’s title was the produce of trust across the board. “It means everything; we are just so excited, we are in the books,” said Ieva. “Our team dynamic is amazing.

and through and I think that carries onto the field.” As a co-captain, Ieva looks to enhance that dynamic. “I try to bring the team spirit and energy and just unite us in any way that I can,” said Ieva. Hun head coach Tracey Arndt credited her squad with developing a unshakable spirit over the years. “My first year we were 3-13 so to get to here is really important,” said Arndt. “These girls went through COVID. They went through games where we were losing 6-0 at halftime several times. They just kept persevering, they kept getting through it. They are the ones that are there for morning workouts. They are in the gym at 6:15 in the mornings. They are doing the extra that I need and we all know it takes. It just makes it even that much sweeter when the hard work pays off.” The Raiders displayed persistence in overcoming the 2-0 deficit against PHS. “We knew we couldn’t go down their gut; in the beginning I think we had the jitters and so we kept going down their gut,” said Arndt. “Delaney [Keegan] is really good, the center of their field is really good. Once we were able to settle in, we did fine. Down 2-0, what I am really proud about is that maybe even this September or this time last September, we would have been down. You would have seen the shoulders sag.” Instead, the Raiders kept pressing forward as they put

grab the ball and go back; whoever scores more at the end is the winner, not who scored first,” said Arndt, who got goals from Ally Eastman and Thielmann in addition to Ieva. “We feel that we have a strong core who can really keep possession. I think we were keeping possession, we just weren’t able to finish. Phoebe was on tonight and we knew that if we can get a straight shot off that we could maybe get some tips in there. We had to get shots on cage. That was the biggest thing and we thought we could put it away from there.” Having Kempson in the cage was a big plus as Hun went through its first shootout of a season after being tested in overtime contests. “The only one we hadn’t been in was a shootout and I will take Norah any day and twice on Monday,” said Arndt. Arndt credited Ieva with taking her game to a higher level this fall. “Midway through the season, I put her as our unsung hero and she is quickly turning into one of our MVPs,” said Arndt. “She is getting in good spots. She is doing the simple, she is getting down. What I love about her is that she is committed to her teammates, she is committed to the team. She is not a club player, it is not like some of these other girls who really want to go off and play in college. I tell these girls all of the time, I don’t need you to be the best on the team, I need you to be the best for the team. I think that Ali epitomizes that.” In upcoming action, Hun, now 13-3, will be pursuing another championship as it competes in the Prep state tourney where they are seeded third and hosting sixth-seeded Blair Academy in a semifinal contest on October 25. “We will see how it goes, we are taking it day-by-day,” said Arndt. “We keep joking all of these things are extra time together. We are running out of time, so I said two overtimes — we just got more time. Oh a shootout, we just got more time. We get another chance to play on Wednesday and we do our best and the rest is going to come.” Ieva, for her part, is confi dent that the Raiders will keep giving their best effort. “We are hungry for more, it is amazing,” said Ieva. “This year we really turned it up. We did bond as a team during COVID and then all of us worked really hard in the offseason. We have been in the weight room and just training all summer. I feel like it really paid off.” — Bill Alden

Phoebe Thielmann sees herself as a catalyst for the Hun School field hockey team. “I have been focusing more on distributing to wards the outside, so once it comes to me, to get it right off,” said junior co-captain Thielmann. “I have been working on quick skill.” As second-seeded Hun faced si xth-seeded L awrence High in the Mercer County Tournament semis last Thursday, Thielmann got Hun off to a quick start, t a l ly i ng a g o a l m i d w ay through the first quarter to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead. “Lawrence was a great team, they were prepared,” said Thielmann. “Our mindset was to get a score in the first five minutes — we really just wanted to start off on a good foot. I just saw my shot, I saw the opening. I had to go for it.” Thielmann’s tally set the tone as Hun posted a 2-0 win, earning its first trip to the MCT final since 1994. “We have been working for this the entire season,” said Thielmann. “We were very eager, we wanted to come in and play our game and that is what we did.” Advancing to county title game was a major breakthrough for the Raiders. “It has been a while, we are so pumped,” said Thielmann. “The team has seen a tremendous amount of growth. I am so excited to be a part of that and all these girls.” As a team co - captain, Thielmann has focused on pumping up the squad. “It is about supporting my other teammates, I really want to support them,” said Thielmann. “I want to make sure that they feel confident when they are on the field. I want to help them and that is where I see myself, distributing the ball, constantly going forward but also

keeping possession and using the back.” In Thielmann’s view, that supportive approach has led the Raider players to develop some great bonds. “I think it is our trust in one another, we are a great team,” said Thielmann.“We trust each other, we know each other, we know how we play.” Hun head coach Tracey Arndt credits Thielmann with providing the team with calm and collected play. “Phoebe is a coach’s dream, I love that I get to coach her and I am glad she is only a junior,” said Arndt. “She has a lot of poise. She reads the game very well. Stoic is the way she plays. She doesn’t let the highs get too high or the lows get too low. She just plays really in control, whoever gets her at the college level is going to be lucky.” On Monday in the county final against top -seeded PHS, Thielmann showed that poise, scoring a goal in regulation and then burying a penalty shot as Hun ear ned its first outr ight country crown, winning a penalty shootout 2-1 after the foes tied 3-3 through regulation and 20 minutes of overtime. C om i ng i nto t h e t it le game, Thielmann sensed that Hun was on track to make the breakthrough. “These girls are really great, Hun field hockey has seen a lot of growth through the past few years,” said Thielmann, who will look to help the Raiders win another title as they competing in the Prep state tourney where they are seeded third and hosting sixth-seeded Blair Academy in a semifinal contest on October 25. “Coach Arndt and all of our coaches have been doing an amazing job of inspiring us and keeping the program together.” —Bill Alden

After losing 1-0 to Allentown on October 13 to suffer its first defeat of the fall, the Princeton High field hockey team was fired up when the rivals met for a rematch in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals last Thursday evening. “When we lost to them the last time, it was just an off day,” said junior forward Ramirez. “We had possession the entire time — their goalie (Kylie Elefante) had so many saves and we couldn’t take advantage of our opportunities. Today we knew what we had to do.” The Tigers didn’t waste any time finding the back of the cage in the game played at Lawrence High, jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Delaney Keegan and Leah Rose-Seiden. “We knew were controlling the game from the beginning,” said Ramirez. “We got up 2-0 to begin with — we knew that we just wanted it more.” The Tigers, though, lost that control as Allentown tallied three unanswered goals to take a 3-2 lead into the fourth quarter. “We knew that we weren’t going to give up no matter what,” said Ramirez. “We had to work as a team and keep it going and just keep pushing.” Dominating possession in the fourth quarter, PHS broke through with a goal by senior star and Cornell commit Keegan with 8:59 in regulation to force overtime. Heading into the extra session, the Tigers felt they had the momentum. “We were very confident,” said Ramirez. “We knew that we weren’t going to give up and that is what we did.” Just 45 seconds into the first overtime, Ramirez gave

the Tigers the hard-earned win, firing home a goal. “When I saw that ball, all I wanted to do was just throw it at the goal and just see what happened,” said Ramirez. “It came off a stick. I saw it and I pushed it towards the goal.” PHS head coach Heather S er vers on was not surprised to see Ramirez come through. “Mia is one of our more confident, steady players, she just does great things out there,” said Serverson. “It is inevitable, eventually she is going to do something that is awesome. That is what we needed tonight, and that is what she did.” Keegan produced an awesome effort, blasting hits from all over the field. “Delaney is an amazing player. She sees the field so well, she hustles her butt off,” said Serverson. “She gets beat with a stick and keeps on going — you can’t ask for anything more. She is so sick right now and got beat up and was still able to play like that. She is very passionate but able to stay composed, and that is one of her best attributes.” Staying composed helped PHS pull out the win over Allentown. “In the past I have had teams where we have a goal scored against us and it just deflates everything,” said Serverson. “This team is not like that. They get mad when they get scored on, that is the difference. They come together in such a great way. The passing was on point, they were in the right positions, and they got feisty at the right time. It was just all perfect. I am so proud of them — they did an awesome job.” Last Monday, PHS showed

that feistiness again as they battled second-seeded Hun School in the MCT final. Similar to the semi, PHS jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and then found itself trailing 3-2 heading into the fourth quarter. Once again, Keegan tallied a game-tying goal and forced overtime. This time, however, PHS couldn’t break through as the foes remained tied after 20 minutes of overtime and the Raiders went on to win a penalty shootout 2-1 to earn the title. Heading into the final, Ramirez believed that the Tigers had the right mentality to get that elusive county title. “The last two years we have been knocked out in the semifinals and we really just wanted it,” said Ramirez. “This is what we have been working towards and I am so glad that this group of seniors can make this trip to the final.” Those seniors will get another chance to make a final as PHS, now 13-2, will be competing State Interscholastic Athletic Association ( NJSIA A) Central Jersey Group 4 sectional. The Tigers are seeded second and will host 15th-seeded Montgomery in a first round contest on October 27. The squad’s selfless approach will make it tough to beat in state competition. “We just all work for each other; every minute on the field, we are just there for each other,” said Ramirez, w h o s e te a m m ate s w e r e chanting ‘Mia, Mia’ as she wrapped up her postgame interviews. “We want to do what we do for the person next to us. We just want to create opportunities as a team instead of individually.” —Bill Alden

Ramirez’s OT Goal Gets PHS Field Hockey into MCT Final, But Tigers Fall to Hun in Title Game in Penalty Shootout

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2023 • 30

It is great to see After Battling Hard in 2-1 Loss to Pennington in MCT Final, Coming Through in the Clutch for PHS Boys’ Soccer, [Smith]. him score some timely goals Breitman Scored Goal that Put Tigers into MCT Final for us. PHS Boys’ Soccer Bringing Confidence into State Tourney Azariah Breitman and the rest of the attack on the Princeton High boys’ soccer team struggled to find a rhythm in the early going against Steinert in Mercer County Tournament semis last Wednesday. Second-seeded PHS found itself knotted in a scoreless stalemate with the thirdseeded Spartans at halftime of the contest played at Hopewell Valley. “The fi rst half was really a struggle,” said junior midfielder/forward Breitman. “We had a few chances but we were just lacking all of the composure. Every time we got the ball we just booted it.” Heading into the second half, the Tigers made a key adjustment. “At halftime, we switched formations, props to our coach (Ryan Walsh) for spotting that and changing the formation,” sacked Breitman. “We went from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2, it just completely changed the game.” Two minutes into the second half, Breitman made a game-changing play, taking a feed from Connor Hewitt

and blasting the ball into the back of the net. “I was playing right mid and I was tracking back the whole time so when I switched to striker I needed to score,” said Breitman. “I needed to change the game so when I saw the ball, I knew what I had to do. I just got a ball on the chest fi rst time and just hit it. That feeling it was incredible.” The Tiger defense held the fort from there as PHS prevailed 1-0. “We said at halftime, the only way they are going to score was if we give them a goal,” said Breitman. “There was no way they were getting through us. I love my defense and I trust them.” Tiger head coach Ryan Walsh trusts Breitman to come up big when it counts. “He has scored some really big goals for us this year, he does all of the dirty work that doesn’t always show up on that stat sheet,” said Walsh of Breitman, who has tallied six goals and three assists so far this season. “He makes great runs to open things up for Pasquale [Carusone] and Archie [Smith] and Harvey

For Breitman, having senior star Carusone join the squad this year has opened things up for him. “It is all about confidence,” said Breitman. “Pasquale came into the team and changed everything. He gave me more confidence, he gave the team more confidence. It took a weight off my shoulders so I can just really focus on playing.” The Tigers were bringing confidence into the final against undefeated and top-seeded Pennington and fought hard before succumbing 2-1 to the nationallyranked Red Hawks. “We won the CVC for the first time since 2016, it feels incredible to be on a team that is making history for the high school,” said Breitman, who will look to help 16-2 PHS make history as it starts play in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Central Jersey Group 4 sectional where it is seeded fi rst and will host 16th-seeded Montgomery in a first round contest on October 25. “I am ready for a battle.” —Bill Alden

For the Princeton High boys’ soccer team, it was a test that it had been shooting for all fall. Going 16-1 with 15 shutouts, PHS was on a collision course with undefeated and nationally-ranked Pennington and the powerhouses met in the Mercer County Tournament final last Saturday. Heading into contest played at Hopewell Valley High, the second-seeded Tigers were undaunted by the prospect of taking on the top-seeded and high-powered Red Hawks, who came into the day at 12-0 with 72 goals for and just three against. “Our guys are really confident. They were excited to play against a team that was ranked like that — they wanted to test their talents,” said PHS head coach Ryan Walsh. “Our guys play on some high level club teams, so it is not like they haven’t seen guys with their kind of talent.” In dealing with the talented Red Hawks, PHS was relying on its stingy defensive unit top keep up its superb play. “Our biggest point of emphasis was just our defensive shape; we have been really good all year at keeping a good defensive shape,” said Walsh. “It is one of the reasons that we don’t have many goals against. Pennington has a high-powered offense, they throw a lot of numbers forward so our task was just to stay in our shape and don’t get too stretched. It was make it really difficult on them to get in good scoring opportunities.” In the first half, PHS made things hard for Pennington, stifling the Red Hawks until yielding a late goal. “We were really good keeping our shape and on the goal

that they scored, we were getting ready to counter and we pushed forward a little bit too much and lost the ball,” said Walsh. “We got a little stretched out, and that is how they got their goal with five minutes to go. Besides that, we were doing a really good job.” At halftime, Walsh’s message to his players was stay the course. “I told the guys keep the defensive shape and be confident on the ball,” said Walsh. “We were a little bit rattled in the first half when we had the ball. We panicked a little bit. I think our guys really gained confidence by realizing that they could play with them, and that confidence showed in the second half.” Midway through the second half, PHS knitted the game as 1-1 as senior midfielder/ forward Felipe Matar Grandi found the back of the net. “Felipe had a great goal but the buildup to the play was just phenomenal, our whole midfield really just took over that game,” said Walsh. “Archie [Smith] and Harvey [Smith] played phenomenal in the second half. Felipe, Azariah [Breitman], and Pasquale [Carusone] were going at it in the first 25 minutes of the half. We had our way a little bit there.” The high stakes battle appeared to be heading to overtime but Pennington tallied a goal in the waning moments of regulation to pull out a 2-1 victory and earn its eighth straight MCT crown. “Both teams were playing really well, it was a display of two of the best teams in the state,” said Walsh. “I thought we were headed into overtime, but that team can score at any moment. We were killing off

that game to get to overtime. On their goal, the center back made a great play. He drove forward and put our backs in a bad spot and their big Czech forward Tomas [Ludvik] made a great run.” PHS, now 16-2, will now be looking to make another big tournament run as it starts play in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Central Jersey Group 4 sectional where it is seeded first and will host 16thseeded Montgomery in a first round contest on October 25. “I told our guys there was no better way to prepare for a state tournament than playing against a team like Pennington, and not to just play against them but to play with them,” said Walsh. “The game was back and forth, it wasn’t a one-sided game. They should take the confidence of that into our next tournament which starts on Wednesday. It is helpful that we played so well but a loss makes the guys even hungrier to win the next tournament.” — Bill Alden

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 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.

The Princeton High School girls cross country team has a lot of new members, which meant a lot of first-time champions at the Mercer County Championships. Three first-year runners combined with a pair of returning seniors for the perfect mix to earn the Tigers the county crown last Thursday at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. It is their second title in three years. PHS’s 66 points distanced them from runner-up Hopewell Valley (86) and third-place Wilberforce (119), who got a fifthplace finish from sophomore Laura Sallade. On the boys’ side, PHS placed t hird led by t he comeback of Max Dunlap, who took fourth in his final county meet. Wilberforce took sixth led by individual race winner senior star Caleb Brox and Hun School was 15th with sophomore Jacob Newman pacing the Raiders in eighth place. “It’s a big conf idence boost,” said PHS coach Jim Smirk. “We’ve been talking a lot about running as a team and today was a big step forward for that. We’ve been running as good individuals but haven’t put it together yet. Today was a good step forward. We’re going to have to come do it again in a week and a half because it’s not like the section is going to get easier. Central Jersey Group 4 is never an easy race.” The top five teams plus the top 15 individuals not on a qualifying team at the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Central Jersey Group 4 race – also at Thompson Park – on October 28 will advance to the Group 4 state meet at Holmdel. Most of the Tigers now have raced twice at Thompson Park this season, so they are gaining experience on that course, even if the big moments are new to them. “I feel a lot more confident because everyone did well,” said freshman Grace Hegedus. “I feel like I know the race. It’s just three miles, so it’s not too bad.” H e g e d u s w a s t h e top finisher for the Tigers at the count y meet, taking sixth in 19:38.20 over the 5,000-meter course, a personal record and 39 seconds faster than she covered the Thompson Park course at the XC Fall Classic only 12 days earlier. “I felt pretty good,” said Hegedus. “The hills are intense but it was pretty good. The team did very well.” Hegedus has been the top runner this season in her first year of high school. She came into counties expecting strong competition and got it individually and team-wise, and she handled it well as she has throughout the year. “It’s been very intense,” said Hegedus. “The coach says I don’t know a lot about racing but he says I’m a good runner. I try really hard to keep my knowledge up and learn more about running.” Behind Hegedus was the glue of the Tigers, senior Kyleigh Tangen. The lone four-year varsity member in the top five for the team,

Tangen placed eighth in 19:50.30. “All year we’ve been all about trying to build this team one piece at a time to get here,” said Smirk. “We’ve talked a lot today about trusting the work we had done and letting that be our guide. Kyleigh Tangen has been an amazing leader for us, so she has gotten her teammates prepared emotionally and for what it takes to run at a high level.” Two spots behind Tangen was Kajol Karra. Karra is a sophomore, but focused on school last year and did not run, so in terms of experience might as well be a freshman. “I have run before,” said Karra. “I knew that I kinda liked it, so I thought it would be fun to do and I felt like I could get kind of good at it, so that’d be fun. That’s why I did it.” Karra has developed into a reliable contributor. She dropped 35 seconds off her XC Fall Classic time to run 20 : 00.30 for 10th place and give the Little Tigers three finishers ahead of Hopewell’s No. 2 girl. “I was pretty nervous but we raced here two weeks ago which was our last race,” said Karra. “I was just looking to PR and keep up with our top runners who I normally train with. In the first mile/mile and a half, I kept up, and then I either slowed down or they sped up. I think I slowed down a little bit. I was trying to keep up with the girls around me.” Eowyn Deess gave PHS a fourth finisher in the top 20 of the race. The freshman made huge strides in just 12 days, going from over 23 minutes at the XC Fall Classic to 20:59.10 for 20th place. “I don’t think I expected that,” said Deess. “I don’t think I went into it looking for a certain place. I was just trying to get through it because I just got these spikes and I was trying to get used to them. So I didn’t really have a goal in terms of place and time. I’ve also run this course before, so I think it helped that I knew it a little bit so I could pace myself based on where I knew the hills were.” Deess has been climbing through the season. She considered it an honor just to compete with the varsity seven in the county meet, though those lofty expectations also brought some nerves. “This is the most nervous I’ve been in any race,” said Deess. “It’s counties. Everyone calls it ‘counties’ which is kind of scary and also running varsity. With this team, I don’t think I’ve been in the varsity seven. I was really nervous about that. I also wanted to do better in a race like this, which is a lot of pressure I put on myself. It wasn’t external (pressure). I definitely felt nervous and scared.” It was a satisfying result that met every expectation that she could imagine. Sectionals will give her another opportunity in what’s been a season of steady development. “I was trying,” said Deess. “It’s kind of a work your way

up system. You get better as you train hard. You have to make sure you show up and be consistent and you do get better. Everyone says that’s the case. And then you can level up. You start at a certain place and you improve over the season and see where that gets you.” PHS relied on another senior, Frances Jonson, to wrap up the team title. A returning varsit y r unner, Jonson placed 28th in 21:31.80, a personal record and huge jump from last year’s 81st place finish at counties. Juniors Tessa Thai (45th in 22:07.10) and Rachel Xin (46th in 22:12.40) rounded out the top seven and secured the title. “I think we saw a lot of pieces in practice,” said Smirk. “We’re an interesting team, but through 14 girls we have talent. Our biggest challenge right now is who is going to step up on any given day. We put ourselves in some positions through the year to be challenged. We ran races that we weren’t quite ready for and put lineups in to get them some experience.” As for the Tiger boys, Max Dunlap had missed time with tendinitis in his foot. That set back his fitness, but the PHS senior has been hoping to finish his fall well. The county meet was a good start. He went out conservatively before finding his groove and finishing strong in 17:04.00, only four seconds off his personal best set last year and 47 seconds better than he ran at the XC Fall Classic. “As an individual, I got lots of confidence looking toward sectionals and groups,” said Dunlap. “As a team, I still feel like we have some work to do, but I’m still proud of my boys.” Senior Joshua Barzilai placed sixth with a personal record 17:05.00. Cole Rose was 23rd in 17:59.60, Braedyn Capone was 27th in 18:07.80, and Evan Raphael was 30th in 18:14.00 to round out their scoring. “I’m really happy with Max,” said Smirk. “We know when Max puts his nose in he’s going to get the most out of himself. He’s always been that kid. We’re happy he’s healthy. At the end, he said he’s OK. We’re real happy about that. Our No. 2 guy, Josh, he’s a rookie. I think people forget that. He’s out there slinging it all season so we’re really happy with him. We have some question marks that we need to solve. The good news is fitness wise I think we’re in a good spot. It’s more about execution and trusting each other a little more than we did today. We took some good steps forward today but there’s still room for growth.” Dunlap is the most experienced of the PHS boys. After the squad graduated four of its top five a year ago, he has moved into a top spot for the Tigers. “I’ve only cracked the top five one or two races before,” said Dunlap. “To come from that to first on the team is a lot, but I feel we have a really good team behind us. We have a lot

knowledges that this season has been a lot different for him in his new role. “It’s like sitting in the back seat your whole life and then out of nowhere someone puts you in the driver’s seat and you’re going 100 miles an hour,” said Dunlap. The PHS boys will look to run even faster when they return to Thompson Park for sectionals. Dunlap and the Little Tigers will be hoping to use the county meet’s lessons to finish even better. “We learned the course better,” said Dunlap. “We know how to run it. We know how to run against teams that run differently. Looking forward to sectionals and groups, we know we have to improve and we know how to do that to get up to a point.” While the public schools gear up for sectionals, Hun will be fine-tuning for the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) championship meet that will be held on October 25 at Peddie. They finish with the prep state championships on Saturday at Blair. Each race has been a chance to gain momentum for a young Raiders team. “We lost a lot of runners from last year,” said Raider star Newman. “We’re not as good but we still have some good runners. We just need a couple more years.” The sophomore has taken over the top spot for Hun with the graduation of Eric Scully, who has been running well for Richmond. Newman jumped 21 spots from a year ago to eighth place at the county meet last Thursday in a new personalbest 17:15.00. He credits training 80 miles per week and is looking to finish the season even faster. “My workouts have been saying I should be a bit quicker,” said Newman. “But I ran tactically well so I’m happy about that.” Another prep school runner wasn’t as lucky. Girls pre-race favorite, Princeton Day School senior Emily McCann, who won the girls’ Colonial Division Conference championship the week earlier and placed third at counties a year ago, was sick on race day. The PDS standout will try to recover in time for the state races. “S h e c a m e h e re, w as coughing and having a hard

Hopefully she’ll be ready to go.” Harleen Sandu placed 14th for the Panther girls. The senior ran 20 :14.50 to lead PDS. Fellow senior Jesse Hollander was 22nd in 21:14.20. Sophomore Grayson McLaughlin placed 43rd in 18:32.90 to lead the PDS boys to 14th place just ahead of Hun. “Especially on the girls side, we have a lot of freshmen who really stepped up today,” said Mazzei. “Obviously they’re not running the times that Emily or our

second girl would be running, but they’re showing a lot of progress and they’re showing a lot of hope for us going forward. I think they can be star runners in the program. It’s exciting because we’re losing our top three girls this year, and that’s always a scary thing to think about that you have to rebuild, but I’m very confident in the younger girls that we have on the team. I think we’ll still keep cruising without Emily next year which is nice.” T he Hu n S chool g irls placed 14th. Jade Boucree led the Raiders as the freshman clocked 23:59.60.

Senior Brox Wins Mercer Cross Country Boys’ Race, Becoming 1st Wilberforce Runner to Win County Crown Coming into this fall, Caleb Brox was fit and fast as he headed into his senior season for the Wilberforce School boys’ cross country team. “I was probably running 45 miles a week most weeks, trying to get a tempo run in on Monday,” said Brox. “That was the staple. When preseason started, I was running faster time trials than I had the year before.” But Brox hit a roadblock as he took ill early in the school year. “I got sick starting in September and then into mid-October, I was still coughing,” said Brox. “I decided to not race at all and really try to recover. Last season I had also gotten sick early.” Getting back in action with a dual meet in early October, Brox felt confident, if not at full speed, as he prepped for the Mercer County Championships last Thursday at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. “I felt pretty OK as far as my health, I am not sure I am in 15:50 shape which is where I was at last year,” said Brox. “My plan was to let the other guys take it out for the first two miles. I have observed over the years that the race is won at the top of the hill and in the last 800.” Sticking to that plan, Brox pulled away to a first place finish at the county meet, covering the 5,000-meter course in a time of 16:44.10. “The hill is not a place to coast — that is where I made the push and separated,” said Brox, who finished seven

seconds ahead of runner up Jack Kane from Hightstown. “The hill is a third of a mile and the top of the hill is 800 from the finish. I was feeling pretty comfortable.” While Brox got some separation down the stretch, he was still wary as he headed to the finish. “It was definitely a good feeling going around the baseball fields,” said Brox. “I wasn’t sure it was in the bag until it was over. As I went around the turn to that finish, I got a slight glimpse of where things were at. I knew that if I ran a hard 200, no one was just going to outkick me out front.” In winning the race, Brox made history as he became the first Wilberforce runner to win an individual title at the county meet. “It was one of my season goals so I am super thrilled about that, especially coming off a couple of weeks of being sick,” said Brox, who is looking to compete at the college level and has free levied offers from Hillsdale College and Davidson College. “As the postseason is in sight, I feel like I am in a good spot.” Drawing on his experience, Brox fine-tuned his racing approach to prevail at the county meet. “I am beginning to have more appreciation and excitem ent arou nd raci ng and racing to win — that is something I really saw from Jeremy,” said Brox, referring to former Wilberforce standout Jeremy Sallade. “It

has always been about the improvement for me, how many seconds can I take off my time. I like the math game of trying to strategize how I can be the fastest and what training I need to do, but I also think going into a race the time doesn’t matter — today I am racing to win. It changes a lot of things, and that can be really fun. It is focus on what is in front of you. If there are people in front of you, what do you have to do make it happen? It can be a lot more concrete.” Wilberforce head coach Lois Szeliga sensed that Brox was primed for a big performance last Thursday despite being hampered by illness. “This was only his third race of the year, I knew he had it in him,” said Szeliga. “We knew he was a strong contender, but then he had this health setback. We had a dual meet last week and that was his first race in a while. He felt good, his legs felt good — he looked like old Caleb. He felt good coming into counties. He knew there was some other great competition and was excited to race for the win. He was not going for time, he was racing to win, just enjoying it.” Wa t c h i n g B r o x c o m e through with the win was a great feeling for Szeliga. “He came over that hill and I saw that he was in that top pack just where he wanted to be,” said Szeliga. “His strategy was, ‘if I feel good, I am going to pull away.’ It is something that you are so happy to see. He is a selfless

BROX TALE: Wilberforce School boys’ cross country star Caleb Brox heads to the finish line at the Mercer County Championships last Thursday at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. Senior Brox placed first individually in the boys’ meet, covering the 5,000-meter course in a time of 16:44.10. Brox became the first Wilberforce runner to win an individual title at the county meet and helped the Wolverine boys take sixth in the team standings. (Photo provided by Lois Szeliga) kind of athlete and just for him to have that moment is rewarding.” In Szeliga’s view, Brox has developed into a selfless leader for the squad, which placed sixth in the team standings of the meet win by WW/P-North. “Caleb has not only grown as an athlete, but also his character by being patient and a great leader to these freshmen,” said Szeliga. “Having a young team, I wouldn’t want anyone other than Caleb to be their leader. I think he is really enjoying his senior year.” Szeliga enjoyed seeing the quartet of junior Philip Schidlovsky and freshmen Elias Edwards, Micah Brox, and Henry Jepson compete well at the county meet. Schidlovsky placed 39th while Brox took 42nd, Edwards finished 51st, and Jepson came in 74th. “They have been forming a great pack,” said Szeliga. “They have been taking advantage of that and really trying to stay with each other. We had Henry, who had a minute PR that really gave us sixth place. That was our best performance by far at the counties. Last year we were 10th and that was our best performance.” With the Non-Public meet on the horizon, Szeliga believes her boys can produce another big performance. “I think they really have a shot at the Non-Public title,

we just hope that everyone stays healthy,” said Szeliga. “I think that having the counties was just a great championship feel for them, especially the younger boys. They haven’t been in that position very much.” The Wilberforce girls also gave a great effort at the county meet, taking third even though one of the team’s top runners, Adeline Edwards, was sidelined due to injury. “It was, ‘OK girls, we are still going to try to win,’” said Szeliga, reflecting on her pre-race message. “We are not going to have Adeline, and I felt like they all rose to the occasion. They really all outperformed what they had been doing all season, which is just what you want to see.” Sophomore Laura Sallade rose to the occasion, taking fifth in a time of 19:35.50. “Laura had a 30-second PR, first time breaking 20 minutes and Thompson is not necessary a fast course,” said Szeliga. Follow ing Sallade was sophomore Eve Szeliga, who took 19th with senior Virginia Whitman coming in 27th, junior Gwen Mersereau placing 29th, and freshman Stella Blanchard finishing 47th. “Eve had big issues with shin splints, this was her first race in a while,” said Szeliga of her daughter. “It just showed that she was a competitor because she

was motivated to win for her teammates. Virginia and Gwen are trying to create that pack, you don’t want to have other people scoring in between. I am really proud of all of these girls. It lifts everybody’s spirits, showing you can still do well and endure setbacks. It is do your best, and that is all you can do.” The team’s effort at the county meet, which was won by Princeton High, bodes well for the upcoming NonPublic meet. “This showed that you run as a team, they got a lot of confidence by running against the top teams in the county,” said Szeliga. “For a small school like us to do well, it just gives you so much confidence going into the states.” Brox, for his part, is excited to lead the boys’ team into state competition. “I am super excited for the season. For me, this year has been different,” said Brox. “Our guys’ team this year is very strong. My brother is on the team, and it has been great running with him. There is a lot of talent there. I don’t think we were really competing for a title as a team on Thursday, but the team place did matter. That was our best place as a team in school history, so I am happy about that as well.” —Bill Alden

Paul and Audrey Rutherford Paul Harding Rutherford Paul Harding Rutherford, 85, passed away peacefully on October 13, 2023, at the Riverwoods Retirement Community in Exeter, NH. He had been a resident of Princeton for 45 years before moving to New Hampshire in 2010. Paul was born on January 22, 1938 in Yorkshire, England, the son of Joseph William Rutherford and the

former Annie Harding. After his family was required to relocate early in World War II, he attended the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne. He won a scholarship to Emmanuel College, Cambridge University, where he earned a B.A. in 1959, receiving first-class honors in the Mathematical Tripos. He remained at Cambridge for graduate work and completed a Ph.D. in 1962. After postdoctoral appointments at Princeton (1962-63) and

the U.K.’s Culham Laboratory (1963-65), he returned to the United States as an immigrant in 1965 to join the research staff at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, where he remained for his entire subsequent career, serving as Associate Director for Research from 1980 to 1995. His research was in the theory of fully-ionized plasmas in strong magnetic fields and was supported as part of the quest for a controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor. Paul met his future wife, the former Audrey J. Irvine, in Newcastle upon Tyne, and she accompanied him first to Cambridge for the completion of his graduate work and subsequently to Princeton. The Rutherfords became United States citizens in 1976. Paul taught courses in plasma physics at Princeton University, and co-authored with Robert J. Goldston a graduate text, “Introduction to Plasma Physics”, published in 1995. He was the recipient of the U.S. Department of Energy’s E. 0. Lawrence Memorial Award for physics in 1983, with a citation for contributions to the basic theory of plasma confinement and to the toroidal fusion reactor concept. Throughout his career, he had always been prominently involved in the international aspects of fusion research. In 1992, he was appointed Chair of the Technical Advisory Committee for the design phase of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), and he continued in that role from 1992 to 1998. The ITER is presently under construction at Cadarache in the south of France. Having been an active member of Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, he was equally active in the Congregational Church in Exeter, UCC. In addition to his loving wife of 64 years, Paul was survived by daughters, Andrea Christine Rutherford of Andover, Massachusetts, and Julia Ir vine Rutherford, of Nor th A ndover, Massachusetts, and by two grandchildren, Alexander McClintick and Samantha Trombly.

After becoming qualified as a Committee Clerk by the Local Government Examinations Board in 1958, she was appointed Committee Clerk of the Health Committee — becoming the first woman in the county to hold a position at that level. After marrying Paul Rutherford, she moved with her hu sba n d to C a mbr idge, where she lived from 1959 to 1962, working at Pye Electronics Ltd while her husband completed a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. She then spent a year in Princeton, New Jersey, after which the couple returned to England and lived in Wantage, Berkshire, for two years. In 1965, she and her husband emigrated to the U.S., where they lived for 45 years in P r i n c e ton, N e w J e r s e y, becoming U.S. citizens in 1976. After raising two daughters in Princeton, Audrey was then able to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a preschool teacher. After appropriate certification, she taught for 10 years at the Cherry Hill Nursery School, following which she was a frequent substitute teacher at the University League Nursery School. After her husband’s ret irement, she moved to the RiverWoods retirement community in Exeter, New Hampshire, where she had lived since 2010. Having been an active member of Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, she became active in the Congregational Church in Exeter, UCC. From early childhood, she has enjoyed all forms of needlework and was es pecially skilled in tapestry needlepoint. The Rutherfords are surv ived by t wo daughters, Andrea C. Rutherford of Andover, Massachusetts, and Julia I. Rutherford of North Andover, Massachusetts; and two grandchildren, Alexander Rutherford McClintick and Samantha Grace Trombly.

Audrey J. Rutherford Audrey Jones Rutherford, 89, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2023 at the RiverWoods Retirement Community in Exeter, NH. She had been a resident of Princeton for 45 years before moving to New Hampshire in 2010. Audrey was born December 12, 1934, in Berwick upon Tweed, the daughter of James Irvine and the former Jane Ellen Thompson. Although she retained strong family ties to Berwick, on the border between England and Scotland, she spent her childhood in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, attending Heaton High School for Girls. The death of her father while she was still in high school precluded her from attending a full-time college, but she enrolled in the College of Commerce, now part of Newcastle University, taking evening and weekend clas s e s. W h i le serving in various positions in the Health Department for the County of Northumberland, she pursued further studies in local government.

Manuel del Cerro Manuel del Cerro, MD, died in Princeton, NJ, on Friday, October 13, 2023, at the age of 92. He was an Emeritus Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurobiology at the Un iversit y of Roche s ter School of Medicine. Dr. del Cerro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the 30th of August 1931. He grew up in that city, where he undertook all his formal education receiving his MD degree in 1958. After completing his residence in the department of Intensive Care, where he reached the position of Chief Resident, he became a member of the Faculty in the Department of Cell Biology of the Medical School of the University of Buenos Aires. In 1957 he married Constancia (Coca) Nuñez. He and his wife left Argentina at the end of 1964 for the USA

where Dr. del Cerro had been offered a faculty position at the Center for Brain Research of the University of Rochester, Medical School. He moved up through the academic ranks reaching the position of Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurobiology at the University of Rochester. Starting in the middle 1980s, Dr. del Cerro and his team, which included his wife Coca, did pioneering work on transplantation of developing retinal cells into the retinas of blind animals and humans. That work, published in national and international medical journals, proved the viability and in many cases the beneficial effects of those transplants. Dr. del Cerro was an invited speaker at numerous national and international professional meetings. He was a mentor to numerous students, many of whom reached prominence in the medical profession in the USA and abroad. After his retirement in 1989, Dr. del Cerro and his wife traveled extensively; he also pursued his hobbies of photography, chess, and reading, particularly of world history and history of art. He is sur v ived by h is daughter Marilu DeCoste, and grandchildren Thomas, Samuel, and Christopher Joseph.

Lawrence Hunter Parsons April 11, 1944 – October 18, 2023

Lawrence Hunter Parsons, known by all as Larry, passed away peacefully October 18, after many years of declining from dementia. He was a kind, generous, and respected member of the Princeton community, which he loved. A friend said of Larry that he was, “someone who rarely expressed criticisms of others, preferring to support, rather than destroy.” Larr y was a wonderful listener with great creative

vision and insight. He used these qualities to contribute to many good causes and organizations in leadership roles such as the Princeton Photography Club and the Princeton Adult School. He is survived by his wife, Jean, his daughter, Meg D’Incecco and her husband John, their son, Leslie, and by his son Hunter and his wife Amber, and children Margot and Sheppard. Though Larry’s career was in finance, his heart was with culture and beauty, which he expressed through his photographic art. He was devoted to Gallery 14 on Mercer Street in Hopewell where he was a member for many years.

HALLOWEEN HOUSE DÉCOR IDEAS

9 AM to 2 PM

with Beatrice Bloom

Miscellaneous household items,

Halloween is just around the corner, and it's time to transform your home into a spooky, enchanting wonderland. Whether you're hosting a haunted house party or just want to delight trickͲorͲtreaters, here are some ideas for Halloween home decorations that will cast a spell on your guests:

• Eerie Entryway: Create a chilling ambiance with fake cobwebs and tombstones leading up to your front door. Hang ghostly figures or bat cutouts around the entrance for a truly eerie welcome. • Pumpkin Paradise: Carve jackͲo'Ͳlanterns in various shapes and sizes, then place them on the porch or windowsills. Add a cauldron filled with dry ice for a smoky effect as a centerpiece. • Wicked Wreaths: Craft a HalloweenͲthemed wreath using dark branches, plastic spiders, or mini witch hats for your front door. Surround it with glowing, batteryͲoperated candles to light the way. • Mystical Mirrors: Replace your mirrors with aged, eerieͲlooking ones for an eerie atmosphere. Use a projector to display haunting images or videos on a window, such as ghostly apparitions or creepy crawlies.
