A new complaint designed to keep Rider University from moving Westminster Choir College from its longtime Princeton campus to the University’s Lawrenceville location has 71 plaintiffs, all of whom are students at the choir college. Attorney Bruce Afran filed the complaint in the Chancery Division of Mercer County Superior Court on Tuesday afternoon, October 29. Additional lawsuits against Rider, with other plaintiffs, have been filed at earlier dates. Rider, which merged with Westminster in 1992, has been trying to unload the music school since 2016. After a proposed $40 million sale to a Chinese company fell through in July, the University announced it would close the Princeton campus and relocate its student body to the Lawrenceville campus by September 2020. Rider has released preliminary drawings showing an addition to its Fine Arts building and renovations to its chapel and library. “Our campus transition team and affiliated working groups are moving full steam ahead on planning a successful integration of Rider’s two campuses,” wrote DonnaJean Fredeen, Rider’s provost and vice president for academic affairs, in an update on the University’s website early this month. But the move is opposed by many Westminster students, faculty, alumni, and supporters, who say that its specially constructed facilities for choral and other musical training do not exist at Rider and would be impossible to recreate. There are some 150 practice rooms at Westminster. Rider has said it plans to build 16. Westminster has performance halls

Princeton Voters Go to the Polls Nov. 5 Princeton voters will go to the polls next Tuesday with a number of key positions for Princeton, Mercer County, and New Jersey on the ballot. Three candidates will compete for two seats, three-year terms, on Princeton Council, and four candidates for three seats with three-year terms on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE). Two two-year terms on the New Jersey Assembly for the 16th Legislative District are up for grabs, with four candidates running. There are also two contenders for a four-year term as Mercer County Executive, and two candidates running unopposed for two spots with three-year terms on the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Running for Council are Adam Bierman, Michelle Pirone Lambros, and Mia Sacks. Lambros and Sacks are officially on the ticket for the Democrats, having finished with the most votes in the June Democratic primary. Bierman, who chose not to participate in the nominating process, is running as an Independent Democrat. They are running to fill the seats of Jenny Crumiller, who is stepping down when her term ends at the end of the year, and Tim Quinn, who was defeated in the Demo-

cratic primary and will also complete his term in December. The School Board race pits one-term incumbents Debbie Bronfeld and Greg Stankiewicz, currently BOE vice president, against former Board member Dafna Kendal and new candidate Susan Kanter. Bill Hare will be stepping down from the BOE at the end of his term in December. Running for New Jersey Assembly, 16th District, are Democrat incumbents Andrew Zwicker and Roy Freiman. Their opponents are Republicans Mark Caliguire and Christine Madrid.

In the County Executive race, incumbent Democrat Brian M. Hughes, currently serving his fourth term in the position, takes on Republican challenger Lishian “Lisa” Wu, former candidate for Princeton Council in 2018. In the other county-wide contest, for two positions on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, Andrew Koontz, incumbent in office since 2011, and Nina D. Melker a freeholder since she was appointed in 2018 to fill a vacancy, are running unopposed on the Democrat ticket. Princeton voters will also weigh in on Continued on Page 14

Council Supports NJDEP’s Denial of NESE and PennEast Pipeline Permits

Princeton Council has approved unanimously a resolution in support of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) denial of permits for the Williams/Transco Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) and the PennEast pipeline projects, citing severe environmental concerns and insufficient need, and urging representatives in the New Jersey Legislature and the U.S. Congress to oppose these two projects.

Sophie Glovier, chair of the Princeton Environmental Commission, which recommended the proposal to Council, commented on the resolution. “We thought it was important because if built, the NESE project would result in negative environmental impacts for Princeton, as we would be sandwiched between two compressor stations, which can negatively affect the quality of the air and are a safety risk,” Continued on Page 8

“

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

Gerber believes the baby ity is to ensure a healthy, happy Terracycle and Gerber food industry should help cre- future for their baby. Our comPartner on Program

Terracycle, the Trentonbased international recycling company, has partnered with the Gerber baby food company to help give hard-to-recycle baby food packaging a new life. The two companies share values around eliminating waste and support the recovery of hard-to-recycle baby food packaging on a national scale. To participate, parents can sign up on the Gerber Recycling Program page at https:// www.terracycle.com/en-US/ brigades/gerber and mail in packaging that is not municipally recyclable using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, the packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. “Through this free recycling program, Gerber is offering parents an easy way to divert waste from landfills by providing a responsible way to dispose of certain hard-to-recycle baby food packaging,” said TerraCycle CEO and Founder Tom Szaky. “By collecting and recycling these items, families can demonstrate their respect for the environment not only through the products that they choose for their children, but also with how they dispose of the packaging.” As an added incentive, for every pound of packaging waste sent to TerraCycle through the Gerber Recycling Program, collectors can earn $1 to donate to a nonprofit, school or charitable organization of their choice.

ate a world where babies thrive, and this partnership is one of many steps toward its goal to achieve 100 percent recyclable or reusable packaging by 2025. “We’re thrilled to partner with TerraCycle as part of our broader sustainable packaging efforts,” said Gerber President and CEO Bill Partyka. “We know every parent’s top prior-

mitment to sustainability is rooted in giving parents a hand in making their baby’s future that much brighter.” The Gerber Recycling Program is open to any interested individual, school, office, or community organization.

notes, and oral histories of the Witherspoon- Jackson neighborhood Wat terson collected for her 2017 book I Hear My People Singing: Voices of African American Princeton. Some 60 interviews on 88 video and cassette tapes, transcriptions, photographs, correspondence, newspaper clippings, maps, census records, historical documents, and drafts of the book make up the collection. Watterson spent nearly 20 years developing the book, which was published by Princeton University Press. The HSP was closely involved.

TOPICS Of the Town “We have been working together with Kitsi and the Witherspoon-Jackson community for over a decade in development of the book,” said Izzy Kasdin, HSP executive director. “We provided research materials and images from our collections, and many HSP people were involved. It has been a long process. We are so grateful to Kitsi, our staff, and her students. It was a major group effort with a lovely end.” Watterson, a professor in the English Department at the University of Pennsylvania, commented in a press release from the HSP: “I am grateful that the stories in this book, from people who have witnessed the barriers and racist assumptions erected to bar their progress, will be more widely available now. Their words provide a window into the inner strength and ingenuity of a people who built families, institutions, and a vital community life, despite the pernicious injustices they faced. I also appreciate that this collection reveals the creative process involved, from the oral history project we began in 1999, when Hank Pannell told me that if we didn’t get these stories now, it would be too late, to all of the work, love, and spirit embodied in this book.” The collection joins nearly 500 existing oral histories in HSP’s collection, including

oral histories conducted with members of Princeton’s African American community for the seminal “A Community Remembers: African American Life in Princeton” exhibition at HSP in 1996. The material from Watterson also supplements existing HSP collections that document African American life, such as a time capsule from the Witherspoon School for Colored Children, records related to African American social clubs, and artifacts from African American-owned businesses in the Witherspoon-Jackson Continued on Next Page

neighborhood, among many other items. “We are honored to steward this significant collection,” said Stephanie Schwartz, HSP’s curator of collections and research. “Oral histories are vitally important local history research tools, often filling in the gaps where written historical records are silent, which commonly occurs when it comes to the histories of marginalized communities. We’re particularly excited that we have grant funding in hand from the New Jersey Historical Commission to immediately digitize the voices recorded on these vulnerable cassette tapes, ensuring that they are preserved.” Through first-person accou nts by Wit herspoon Jackson residents including Albert Hinds, Hank Pannell, Alice Satterfield, and Bruce Wright, I Hear My People Singing describes slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow racism confronted by African Americans in a Northern town through the past three and a half centuries. But the book also details the closeness and cohesiveness of the community. Many of the people Watterson interviewed are now deceased. “I feel it is, and felt it was, important to preserve the history of the Princeton African American community,” said Penelope S. EdwardsCarter, adviser and coordinator. “The community was shrinking when the project started and is rapidly disappear ing. We’re happy that this digitalization by the HSP means that family members and descendants will be able to access these materials for genealogical research.” Project or iginator and adviser Hank Pannell said, “I’m glad that people can learn about this wonderful neighborhood and all the great people who lived here and took care of each other. I couldn’t be happier about these stories being available for the future, especially for lessons they teach about living, respecting each other, and being human.” The collection is now open for researchers to access by appointment with the Historical Society’s research staff. Research appointments can be requested via a form on www.princetonhistory.org. “We hope that, once we digitize the oral history recordings, they will be available to people in several locations,” said Schwartz. “Our priority is to make these recollections, in the singularly evocative voices of the people who personally experienced this history, as widely and easily accessible as possible.” —Anne Levin

Ivy: “I think it’s Jaws, because it was really creepy.” Dan: “The scariest movie for me would be the original Aliens. I saw it when I was 18, on a foggy night, and I was convinced that I would be face-grabbed and turned into an alien.” —Ivy and Dan Cordle, Princeton

Krima: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a scary movie! It’s not a very scary answer, but it’s funny because it’s true.” Gautam: “The Shining. I think Jack Nicholson portrays crazy very well. I think it would still scare me today.” —Krima, Ryan, and Gautam Kothari, Princeton Junction

she said. “In addition, New Jersey cannot achieve 100 percent clean energy and an 80 percent reduction in emissions by 2050 without a transition away from gas and other polluting fossil fuels.” On September 10, in a legal victory for New Jersey and environmental concerns, a federal appeals court ruled that PennEast, a private company, cannot condemn state-owned land through eminent domain in order to build part of its planned $1B,116-mile natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania across New Jersey through Hunterdon County to Mercer County. The Council resolution notes that the NJDEP has grounds to deny permits for this project on this basis alone, since PennEast does not have legal authority or permission to apply to develop these properties. In an October 8 letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ( FERC ), which approved the project, Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) and Tom Malinowski (NJ-7) requested that FERC immediately issue a stop work order for all of PennEast’s land-clearing and construction-related activities. With the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals September 10 decision having left PennEast’s proposed route uncertain, the letter urged a halt in activity until necessary route changes are identified and PennEast submits a new proposed route to FERC for environmental review, notice, and

comment, and a determination of whether the project is in the public interest. Applauding the Third Circuit’s decision, Malinowski stated, “We must continue to do everything in our power to stop this unnecessary pipeline from being built.” Denouncing “this potentially dangerous pipeline,” Watson Coleman added, “The streams and aquifers in the path of this pipeline provide drinking water to thousands of residents. The land in the path of this pipeline is some of the most beautiful in our state. You can’t replace 100-year-old trees once they’re gone. FERC should now put an immediate halt on all further landclearing and construction.” Despite t he F E RC ap proval, t he New Jers ey Rate Counsel, an independent state agency, has stated that there is no public need for the PennEast pipeline, and it has called the project an opportunity to earn a 14 percent rate of return for the energy companies, “like winning the lottery … unduly generous to PennEast and unfair to consumers.” PennEast, however, continues to claim that the proposed pipeline is needed, and that FERC approval of their proposal validates their continuing work on the project. “The PennEast Pipeline was more than 95 percent subscribed before PennEast publicly announced the project five years ago, and the need has grown substantially since then,” PennEast spokesperson Patricia Kornick wrote in an email. “The recent public statements by

natural gas utilities in New Jersey expressing serious concerns about the lack of infrastructure capacity and an inability to reliably serve families and businesses who depend on natural gas service underscore the need and public benefit of the PennEast Pipeline, which will deliver affordable, reliable service to the region, including nine million Garden State residents.” Referring to an October 11 letter from PennEast to the NJDEP, Kornick noted that the NJDEP should have issued determination of administrative completeness to PennEast, and “NJDEP should understand that PennEast is a holder of a valid cer tificate issued by the Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC); therefore under federal law, pending litigation has no bearing on the Department’s continued review of the multi-permit application.” Last Friday, October 25, the Oklahoma-based Williams company withdrew three of its four permit applications with NJDEP, but said it would refile the applications in the next few days. The company’s $926M Williams/Transco NESE Project would expand the existing Transco pipeline infrastructure across the Raritan Bay in New Jersey and into New York. The Williams Company did not respond to requests for comment on the denial of permits for their proposal. Among additional legal, environmental, financial, safety, and other concerns, the Princeton Council resolution noted that New Jersey already has excess pipeline

Assmus went on to cite a Credit Suisse analyst report, showing that most of the anticipated excess capacity will probably be exported abroad if the proposed pipelines are built. —Donald Gilpin

specially constructed for vocal training and performance, while Rider does not. “By moving the school, Rider abandons all of the specialized facilities that have been built up over 100 years for elite music students,” Afran said. “It will end the conservatory environment. It will cause further loss of students. And that means per for mance contracts with the New York Philharmonic and The Philadelphia Orchestra will be endangered.” Afran said two students were especially active in organizing their peers. “They had been patiently listening to Rider’s administration saying it would all be fine, and they finally recognized that this was going to damage their education,” he said. “They felt there were no real answers to their questions, namely, how are you going to recreate these facilities?” Students are planning to hold a vigil on Saturday, November 2, around 9 p.m. on Westminster’s quadrangle, immediately following a performance by the Chapel Choir. The vigil, which is taking place during Parents’ Weekend, is being advertised as “a peaceful demonstration of unity and opposition to the actions of Rider University.” Mayor Liz Lempert said this week that the town of Princeton values Westminster and its 22-acre campus in the middle of town. “Westminster is an important institution for the town, and the property is important, too,” she said. “It gives a sense

of place for that part of town. We’re very interested as a town about the future of the school, and anything that would happen to that property. Rider is a private institution, though, and we don’t have control over its decisions.” Westminster Conservatory of Music, the community music school affiliated with the choir college, “is such an important institution for the town,” Lempert added. “It has been so great to have it next to the middle school and high school.” The uncertainties in Westminster’s future over the past few years have resulted in a serious decline in enrollment, which is currently down 60 percent. “You can rebuild after a bad year,” said Afran when asked how this will affect the school’s future. “We don’t want that to happen. But we’re confident the court will rule in our favor.” Constance Fee, who heads the Westminster Foundation dedicated to preserving the Princeton campus, said the organization is still hopeful that the decision to move the school will be reversed. “If Rider administration would put the kind of energy and focus and financial investment into keeping Westminster where it is, it would certainly be their biggest moneymaker,” she said. “Instead, they are using it for destr uctive purposes that would certainly lead to the elimination of the choir college. We remain open to discussion of other options, as we have since December, 2016, when all of this began.” —Anne Levin

Centennial Challenge Grant launch a new era of nursing Promotes Future of Nursing innovation at Penn Medicine

In recognition of Penn Medicine Princeton Health’s 100th anniversary, philanthropist Betty Wold Johnson has pledged a $1 million challenge grant that would boost efforts to build on the healthcare system’s tradition of nursing excellence. The Centennial Challenge Grant will be received when Princeton Health raises $1 million in matching funds. The full $2 million would then establish a nursing e n d o w m e n t to s u p p o r t scholarships and continuing education; research and innovation; and Princeton Health’s nursing residency program. “I understand the vital role of nurses and how important it is to help them to continue learning,” Johnson said. “The endowment at Princeton Health will focus on a wide range of crucial goals, including mentoring the next generation of nursing leaders and increasing the percentage of nurses with a bachelor of science in nursing degree, which is associated with better patient care.” Princeton Health President and CEO Barry S. Rabner said, “Virtually everyone who delivers health care services recognizes how nurses’ roles, responsibilities, and education will change significantly to meet the increased demand for care driven by health care reform and to take full advantage of the dramatic advances in health care technology, pharmaceuticals, and clinical practice.” Sheila Kempf, vice president, patient care services/ chief nursing officer, said the challenge grant will help

Princeton Health. “This endowment will enable us to continue promoting nursing excellence in education and professional practice, conduct nursing research, and test innovative concepts for new models of patient care,” said Kempf. “It is important to create a nursing workforce of the future so that we are prepared to meet health care’s everchanging needs.” The Pr inceton Medical Center Foundation is already working to raise the $1 million in matching funds.

Princeton Council Gets an Update On River Road Facility Assessment At a meeting of Princeton Council Monday night, October 28, Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield gave a status report on the cleanup at the town’s River Road facility. Three people, two of whom were municipal employees, have been charged with illegal dumping and co-mingling of waste at the site, allegedly in exchange for payment. Whitman Environmental Consulting has completed a preliminary environmental assessment at the site, finding five areas of concern. Contaminants found were compared with standards from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), to determine if they exceeded any of the standards. Metals found are typical of what is found in soil throughout the state of New Jersey, and “only exceeded t he most stringent standards,” Dashield said, adding that Whitman believes that contaminants remaining on site can be remediated. Jeffrey Grosser, the town’s health officer and assistant administrator, said that based on discussions with officers from the New Jersey Board of Health, “there are currently no obser vable immediate health concerns. Offsite contamination risk appears to be low.” Dashield said any asbestos found has been removed from the site. Whitman will do additional investigations

to determine the next steps. After the violations were discovered this past summer, the estimated cost for the environmental assessment was set as being up to $163,375. The NJDEP issued the town with a violation fee of $35,000, but later reduced it to $30,000. The town is in discussion with attorneys about the next step in the cleanup, including who should pay. “We should do all we can to make sure this doesn’t fall on the taxpayer,” said Mayor Liz Lempert. “It should fall instead on the responsible parties.” The Whitman report will be posted online at princetonnj.gov. In other matters, the governing body considered a petition to close Jefferson Road on Halloween night for trick-or-treaters. But after hearing from Sergeant Geoff Maurer of the Princeton Police Depar tment, it was decided to keep the street open. “I’m reluctant to advocate closing of a road, because of conflict at intersections,” Maurer said. “It would displace more traffic on Hawthorne Avenue and Moore Street and cause more problems.” B ar r ic ades w ill be up and two officers will be assigned to the Jefferson Road neighborhood, where many children are expected to be going door-to-door. Councilwoman Leticia Fraga commented that there are other

streets that get an equal number of trick-or-treaters. Maurer advised residents in all neighborhoods to increase lighting on the streets, since it is expected to rain on Halloween and visibility can be limited. Council voted unanimously to reduce long-term parking at the Princeton Train Station (Dinky) lot to two days instead of the existing one week during the closure of Alexander Street, which begins November 6 and is expected to last about 135 days while bridges are repaired. Councilman Tim Quinn reported that the subcommittee looking into the controversial fueling station at the new headquar ters for Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad met Monday, and that a full report will be made to Council at its meeting November 18. A request was discussed involving the rerouting of the 2020 Princeton Pride Parade, in which the participants would march up Witherspoon Street, cross Nassau Street, and enter the Princeton University campus instead of turning off Witherspoon at Wiggins Street. It was decided that the proposal will be reconsidered after residents and retailers in the central business district get the chance to provide feedback, since the change could involve closing Nassau Street from Washington Road to Palmer Square. —Anne Levin

To Get Improvements Governor Phil Murphy, Amtrak Board Chairman Tony Coscia, and NJ TRANSIT CEO Kevin Corbett recently announced fall construction work at Princeton Junction, Trenton, New Brunswick, and Elizabeth train stations. At Princeton Junction, general platform repairs to improve customer safety, including the refresh of platforms that have deteriorated for decades from exposure to weather and de-icing agents, are planned. This includes reinforcing the platform supports, patching concrete, repainting the yellow warning strip, and general repair of the stairs and handrails. Improvements at Trenton include replacement of damaged timber boards that are located past the yellow warning strip on the platform to improve customer safety. These projects are the result of “a reinvigorated relationship between NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak,” according to a press release. “A modern, safe, and reliable mass transit system is the foundation our state needs to grow our economy and reclaim our historic role as the state of innovation,” said Governor Murphy upon announcing the plan. “The most forwardthinking organizations want to locate where both infrastructure and accessibility to capital markets and consumers are strong. These improvements announced today can help propel New Jersey to the top of any business leader’s list. The growing collaboration between Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT is a win-win for our commuters and our economic future.” “Before I joined NJ TRANSIT in February 2018, NJ TRANSIT’s relationship with Amtrak was fractured, to say the least. I’m pleased to report that today our partnership with Amtrak is stronger than ever,” said NJ TRANSIT President and CEO Kevin Corbett. “With Governor Murphy’s support, we are proud to finalize a new agreement with Amtrak that has not only resulted in projects along the Northeast Corridor advancing far more smoothly, but ensures that Amtrak is investing those dollars in New Jersey infrastructure improvements to benefit NJ TRANSIT customers.” The work is set to take place throughout fall 2019 and early 2020.

David Sweeney, Chief Financial Officer of Community Options, Inc., was awarded the 2019 CFO of the Year Award for Large Nonprofit organization by NJBIZ. Sweeney recently received the honor at the annual awards breakfast ceremony in Somerset. “We are fortunate to have David on our team and are proud of him for this welldeserved recognition,” said Robert Stack, president and CEO of Community Options. “David’s strategic thinking and financial acumen have been integral to Community Options’ success in our efforts to provide housing and employment for people with disabilities across the country.” The NJBIZ CFO of the Year Awards program celebrates New Jersey’s financial executives at all levels who contribute to the success of New Jersey’s economic growth and stability. When Sweeney first joined Community Options in November 2012, the budget was approximately $70 million. Since then, the budget has tripled to $210 million and Community Options is now the third largest nonprofit organization in New Jersey. “It is truly an honor to receive this award,” said Sweeney. “This is a testament to the hard work of our entire fiscal department as we navigate through extraordinary growth. What makes me most proud is that the people that benefit the most from our success are the thousands of individuals and families we support.” Prior to joining Community Options, Sweeney spent 20 years as a financial management professional for nursing homes and in the health care sector. Sweeney is a certified public accountant and received his bachelor’s degree from Rutgers Business School and an MBA from LaSalle University. For over 30 years, Community Options has developed housing and employment supports for people with disabilities, serving thousands of people through over 40 offices across 10 states.

New Rider Programs in Dance and Exercise Science

The science of motion that underlies human performance in dance and other fitness activities is the subject of two new undergraduate

Students in the new dance science and exercise science programs will gain the foundational knowledge and experience to be prepared for careers in health and wellness, rehabilitation, teaching, coaching, and research. According to Rider University, the dance science program is the only one of its kind on the East Coast. The two 120-credit programs are grounded in scientific principles of physical activity, exercise, and training and include courses in human exercise physiology, biology, and more. Students will learn how to optimize human performance, reduce injuries, and promote better overall health and fitness. Through the dance science program, which is offered through Rider’s School of Fine and Performing Arts, students will become better dancers and better dance teachers. “This program trains students to develop their talents through an understanding of the human body, which will then allow them to transform the lives of others,” said Associate Professor Dr. Kimberly Chandler Vaccaro. Dance is not just an athletic pursuit but also an artistic expression of the body and mind. Students will gain an understanding of how dance fits into the growing movement of emerging therapies in health care, medicine, and education. “Dance is recognized as a valuable form of both physical and p s ych olo g i c a l t h e r ap i e s that can reduce stress and anxiety, and promote wellbeing,” Vaccaro said. Graduates of the dance science program w ill be prepared for careers as dance teachers and choreographers, and to pursue advanced training in fields such as physical therapy, rehabilitation, or medicine. Graduates would be wellsuited to pursue a dance/ movement therapy concentration in Rider’s clinical mental health counseling master’s program. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects careers in recreational and dance therapy to increase by 7 percent through 2026. For more infor mation, visit www.rider.edu/dancescience.

“THE PRINCETON LINE”: Named after the train line that once extended to the site where the Lewis Arts complex now stands, the newly commissioned work, “an undulating sculpted line of molded earth” by internationally acclaimed artist Maya Lin, will be one of the topics of discussion at Lin’s visit to the Princeton University campus on November 5. Another topic will be a second Lin installation, “Einstein’s Table,” a water table suggesting the Earth’s orbit, the Milky Way, and black holes, also on the grounds of the Lewis Center.

Steward noted. “I’ve wanted to add Maya’s work to the Princeton campus for over ten years, and am thrilled that these works now join this beautiful environment.” Lin, who lives and works in New York City, has received numerous awards, including the National Medal of Arts in 2009 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. She first gained in-

ternational recognition as an undergraduate at Yale University in 1982, when her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. was chosen in a national competition. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. —Donald Gilpin

the new Dinky Station up a hill to the arts center, and Einstein’s Table, a granite water table, will be the focus of a public program featuring the artist next week. Lin will be on campus on November 5, and will engage in an informal discussion on public art, design inspiration, and the relationship in her work between art, architecture, and design with Princeton University Art Museum Director James Steward in Richardson Auditorium. “The two Princeton works tap into my dual interests in immersive and environmental earthworks, as well as my focus on a more objectoriented cartographic and science-based approach,” Lin said. “The Princeton project is all about finding a sustainable landscape approach that blends in with the existing site.” Installed last year, The Princeton Line is one of L i n’s s e r i e s of ou td o or earth sculptures and takes its name from the train line that once extended to the site where the Lewis Arts complex now stands. The title also refers to the way the earth appears to be folded in an undulating line. “The Princeton Line builds on Maya’s earlier work with earth art, with shaping and folding the earth, but specifically responds to the topography of the site,” Steward wrote in an email. “I think it asks the viewer to consider our relationship with the natural versus the manmade landscape, and is both mysterious and a bit playful in that

it also invites us to occupy that landscape.” Einstein’s Table, recently completed with the water element ready to be activated later this week, is a granite water table, 11 feet in diameter, whose elliptical shape recalls drawings of the Earth’s orbit. The black granite with its “very particular striation in the black… was chosen by Maya to evoke the Milky Way — but seen through gently moving water,” said Steward. The elliptical shape, along with the water and the fountain at its center, were designed by Lin as an homage to Albert Einstein and his theory on black holes. Like the earth drawing of The Princeton Line, this work also adds to a series created by Lin, in this case a series of water tables, which was initially inspired in the 1990s by another sculpture on the Princeton University campus, Scott Burton’s Public Table (1978-79), located outside of East Pyne Hall across from Murray-Dodge Hall. Steward described Einstein’s Table as the most abstract of Lin’s water tables. It “responds to discoveries about the universe and astronomy — and specifically our immateriality in the face of the cosmos and the phenomenon of the black hole,” he said. “Maya Lin’s sensitive and studied considerations of context, space, and ecosystems have resulted in a project of beautiful abstraction that reflects our commitment to the arts and sciences, and that now deepens the gateway experience of the campus first shaped by Steven Holl [designer of the Lewis Center for the Arts complex],”

New Leadership Announced for targeted ‘brain-dumping’ about the organization long For Suppers Program

The Suppers Program has named Fiona Capstick as president of the board, and Marion Reinson as executive director. Founded by Dorothy Mullen, Suppers aims to provide safe and friendly settings where anyone, and especially people with foodrelated health challenges, can develop and manage their own personal transitions to a healthier life. Capstick has more than 25 years’ exper ience in health care, in both acute and chronic settings. She practiced as a registered nurse in her native country, England, and in Australia as a diabetes nurse consultant, educator, and clinical study coordinator through the University of Sydney. She is a graduate of Duke Integrative Medicine Health Coaching Program and has her own health coaching practice working with clients on behavior change. Capstick has served on the board of trustees for the past two years as vice president and also facilitates a Signature Suppers meeting. Reinson has operated her ow n business consulting practice, To The Point, LLC, since 2004. Her expertise lies in designing business growth and marketing strategies, and defining precisely outlined outcomes. For the past two years, she has been working with Mullen on developing a sustainable and fundable strategic plan for Suppers, a plan that will ensure that it thrives beyond the support of Mullen, who was diagnosed last spring with stage four lung cancer. “Marion was pumping me

before I was diagnosed,” said Mullen. “The board was working on succession planning. Marion arrived fortuitously in time to extract information on day-to-day operations and pursue strategic planning and awareness building.” For more information and a fall workshop schedule of events, visit thesuppersprograms.org.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRINCETON COMMUNITY

A CENTURY OF PROGRESS

Award-winning care that continues to innovate. We began in a 22-bed farmhouse, answering the need for local care. 100 years later, Princeton Health has grown to become one of the most comprehensive health care systems in New Jersey, receiving national recognition from U.S. News & World Report and The Joint Commission. The hospital’s innovative design promotes healing and helps to protect the environment. And we’re proud to be part of Penn Medicine, ensuring that our community has easy access to the most complex, world-renowned care, close to home. Discover more at PrincetonHCS.org/100years.

To the Town, I know I have a difficult task in getting elected to Princeton Council as an Independent Democrat. I also believe it is possible because of the traditional openness and fairness of our town to candidates who press for change. We need to end the municipal silence that follows when meters are too complicated and fueling station too big and sewer facilities environmentally dangerous. When the town administration denies press access to public records, this is interference. I have spoken up about these issues immediately. I cannot say the same for my opponents. Princeton’s municipal government needs public officials who will provide oversight and take responsibility for how the town is governed. Currently, there is reluctance by the Council to criticize municipal failures out of some idea of solidarity I suspect. I intend to end the municipal silence. I intend to involve the whole community in all its diversity at the beginning of town projects not just announce them. And I will always take a position on town matters.

Replacement of traffic signals at the two intersections, along with pedestrian upgrades, better ramps, and other improvements, including automatic light changes for emergency vehicles, will make walking and biking safer. “Princeton is fortunate to have a culture where many of our students walk and bike to school,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert in announcing the improvements last Friday in conjunction with New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, along with Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker and Assemblyman Roy Freiman. “We know from local surveys that even more of our students would walk and bike if they felt safer doing so,” Lempert continued. “And that’s why the Safe Routes to School Program is so important to us here in Princeton.” Lempert also praised Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton “for being such a huge champion for walking and biking infrastructure in Princeton” and her “enlightened Engineering Department.”

Evelyn Spann Steps Down from BOE Cranbury Board Representative Evelyn Spann will be stepping down from her position this week after almost 10 years as sending district representative to the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE). On the agenda to be sworn in Tuesday, October 29 as the new Princeton BOE Cranbury representative was Peter Katz, a member of the Cranbury BOE, attorney, and father of three, two at Princeton High School (PHS) and one at Cranbury Elementary School. In accepting Spann’s resignation, the BOE was planning to offer a tribute citing her “voice of inclusion and respect for our district’s mission” and their gratitude “for her leadership, service, time, and energy during her years of gracious service and many contributions to our community and school district.” Princeton BOE President Beth Behrend noted, “Evelyn’s patient wisdom, advocacy for good board process, and passion for students and the PPS mission will be missed around our board table.” She went on to praise Katz’s experience in law and School Board service. “We look forward to benefiting from Peter’s professional expertise and dedication to students,” she said.

Third Annual PHS Hackathon on November 2 HackPHS will be hosting more than 200 high school students from across New Jersey to collaborate, innovate, and create in a 24-hour, student-organized hackathon in the cafeteria of Princeton High School (PHS) from Saturday morning, November 2 through mid-day Sunday, November 3. The free event will feature workshops, prizes, and free food, with the opportunity for new and experienced hackers to learn about new technology, to build innovative solutions to real-world problems, and to share their creations with the community.

JWMS Edible Gardens Revitalized With volunteers from the schools and the community, Princeton Schools Garden Cooperative (PSGC) has deconstructed 12 old garden beds — then built, moved, and filled 12 new bountiful boxes garden beds in the allée between the school wall and the chain link fence along the soccer field at John Witherspoon Middle School. In a nine-hour period on Saturday, October 19, the volunteers, with a proclamation from the mayor and support from Small World Coffee, Whole Earth Center, Terra Momo, Nutri-Serve Food Management, Terhune Orchards, and Lillipies, completed the edible gardens project. Next on the agenda are a small storage shed, drip irrigation hoses, a produce-washing sink, maybe a garden gate at either end, seeds, seedlings, and garden gloves, according to PSGC co-founder Karla Cook.

Spanish Embassy Chooses Local Teacher’s Translations The Embassy of Spain has selected two published play translations by Karen Leahy, Princeton Charter School Spanish teacher, to be part of a promotion of contemporary Spanish theater in the United States. The Embassy held staged readings of the two works, The Border (La Frontera) and The Lost Children (Los Niños Perdidos) by Laila Ripoll, on October 28 at the former residence of the ambassadors of Spain in Washington, D.C., sponsored by Artistisas Espanoles en Nueva York, the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain, and Estreno Contemporary Spanish Plays as part of Spotlight on Contemporary Spanish Theater: Women Dramatists.

The Princeton Area Community Foundation has honored Fern and Larry Spruill with the 2019 Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service. The annual award was created in honor of the late Leslie “Bud” Vivian, longtime director of community and regional affairs at Princeton University, to recognize those who show a similar commitment to the Princeton community. E stablished in 1995 by members of Princeton University’s Class of 1942 and 16 local organizations, the award is made possible through the Vivian Memorial Fund, an endowed fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation. “We are thrilled to recognize Fern and Larry Spruills’ long history of service to the Princeton community,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Princeton Area Community Foundation. “They helped create a youth mentoring program in Princeton, and they have volunteered with many local community organizations, including those that center on issues of social justice and civil rights.” The Spruills, longtime Princeton residents, were among the founders of the Committed and Faithful Princetonians, a program that helped young people achieve academic and personal goals. Both are also board members of Not In Our Town Princeton, and they have previously served on the Minority Education Commit-

Fern Spruill is a member of the Princeton Civil Rights Commission and former member of the Princeton Board of Education. Last year, she was honored with a Princeton YWCA Tribute to Women Award. Larry Spruill, a longtime P r inceton Un iversit y em ployee, is a past recipient of the University’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Journey Award for Lifetime Service, the Platinum Dad Award from UIH Family Partners, and a Centennial Award from the Princeton Family YMCA. He serves as board member of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) and the Princeton Human Services Commission, and has volunteered with other local organizations including the YMCA Y-Scholars Program and the Trenton Chapter of the NAACP. The Spruills have recommended the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice and Not In Our Town Princeton to receive the grants that come with the Vivian Award. Not In Our Town will donate a portion of its grant to help fund a Washington, D.C., field trip for Princeton High School students who recently completed a Racial Literacy and Justice class.

Former Council Members Endorse Greg Stankiewicz for Board of Ed

To the Editor: We strongly endorse the reelection of Greg Stankiewicz to the Princeton Board of Education. Greg was elected vice president of the Board in January 2019. He has worked tirelessly with Board President Beth Behrend to increase transparency, bring the community into the Board’s decision-making process, and improve Board operations. For example, under their leadership, the Board created new local resident committees to advise the Board on critical issues such as enrollment and growth and schools capacity and hired a planning firm to actively engage our community in identifying all the options for addressing the overcrowding in our schools. In addition to becoming Board vice president, Greg also joined the Facilities Committee in January 2019 and became chair, assuming responsibility for oversight of the implementation of the $26.9 million referendum. As chair, Greg opened the Facilities Committee meetings to the public and made referendum implementation data more easily available to the public. Under Greg’s leadership, the committee oversaw a number of successful renovations this past summer, including the installation of air conditioning in the high school gym and throughout Riverside Elementary School, and electrical upgrades at all four elementary schools. As an expert in education policy and public finance, Greg understands the causes of the structural deficit our schools face and the devastating impact of cuts caused by funding shortfalls. He is constantly looking for new revenue and cost savings opportunities. For example, Greg helped the district move forward on shared services with the town, to save money and maximize quality, and engaged the district in statewide advocacy to get the resources promised but not delivered by the state. This advocacy helped convince the legislature to increase extraordinary special education aid, resulting in an additional $1.7 million for Princeton. Greg has contributed so much more to our public schools, including helping develop new policies to reduce vaping and increase school safety and security; facilitating Princeton’s joining of the Rutgers Labor Management Collaborative to strengthen partnerships and collaboration with Princeton Public Schools unions; promoting equity and inclusion through restorative justice; and strengthening the Board’s functionality through ethics and governance training. As former Princeton Council members, we know that no one member of a multi-person governing body can get things done alone. The Board of Education consists of ten people who must work together to move our district forward. That is why leading a highly functioning Board requires strong interpersonal skills. Greg

has those skills in abundance. He is kind and easy to work with, and he is quick to give credit to others and reluctant to take any for himself. That is why we feel it is so important to highlight his accomplishments and re-elect him for another term. LANCE LIVERMAN Witherspoon Street HEATHER HOWARD Aiken Avenue

Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) Inspires Peace, Love, With “A Little Help from Friends”

To the Editor: To all the hippie HIP supporters attending Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) fundraiser on October 19, my colleagues and I from the HIP Board of Trustees offer a heartfelt and profound thank you. The event attracted 150 people dressed as though they were going to a Woodstock concert 50 years ago. Instead they enjoyed ‘60s music and non-Woodstock gourmet food and beverage inside the beautiful home of Vanessa and Kenneth Shives, who served as hosts for the evening. The guests were greeted by a vintage Volkswagen Beetle (lent for free by a Highland Park, N.J., used car dealer) that was parked on the Shives’ front lawn. The $70,000 gross, (approximately $60,000 net), dollars raised from those who supported the HIP Rent Party is dedicated for HIPs transition housing and emergency rental assistance program, helping families avoid eviction. Since HIP is an all-volunteer run organization with very low overhead, donations primarily go right to the heart and hearth of keeping people in their homes. Eviction is not just a condition of poverty, it is a cause of it. So each one of our supporters at the HIP Rent Party helped turn peoples’ lives around and prevent that dreadful downward spiral to the bottom of the pit of poverty from which it is nearly impossible to climb out. As HIP board chair, I thank you; the HIP board thanks you. And most importantly, the HIP clients — past, present, and future — thank you for your support and selfless concern about the welfare of others. CAROL GOLDEN Chair, Housing Initiatives of Princeton

Former Council Member Says Lambros, Sacks Understand Variety of Perspectives

To the Editor: As a former elected representative on Princeton Council, I know that issues come at you fast on the municipal dais. In any given meeting, Council members may consider such disparate issues as invasive species, affordable housing, parking, personnel, streets and sewers, sidewalks, police and the municipal budget, just to name a few. Princeton needs elected officials who are committed to understanding all these issues from a variety of perspectives. Michelle Pirone Lambros and Mia Sacks

have demonstrated that they are willing to work hard for the betterment of the entire community. Mia has a professional background working at the intersection of law and public policy that will serve her well on Council. She is a member of the Planning Board and previously served on the Environmental Commission and other municipal advisory bodies. Michelle, an experienced entrepreneur, has used her skills to work with the Princeton business community. She serves on the Board of the Princeton Merchants Association and the Zoning Board. As Princetonians with deep roots in the community, both candidates have demonstrated their willingness to bring their experience and unique perspectives to the challenges facing the town. They earned the support of the Democratic party by their clear-eyed assessments of some of the town’s most difficult challenges, as well as offering innovative solutions. I have tremendous confidence in their ability to serve all residents of our diverse community. I heartily endorse Mia and Michelle for Council. JO BUTLER Hibben Road

Two Home-Grown Women Poised To Make Impact on Princeton Council

To the Editor: I’m excited to see the positive impact that Mia Sacks and Michelle Pirone Lambros will make on Princeton Council when you elect them on November 5. Both have family history with generational ties to Princeton and I know they will represent all Princetonians. They bring progressive ideals, Democratic values, and a much-needed emphasis on planning for Princeton’s future. Mia and Michelle’s work in the community has demonstrated their deep-seated commitment to prioritizing equity and inclusion in every area of our town. They are especially concerned about building resiliency into Princeton’s infrastructure so that our most vulnerable residents are protected from the increasing impacts of climate change. Through its impact on their families, Mia and Michelle have had a front row seat to observe the devastating social and economic impact from the loss of housing options for the middle class in Princeton. Through their service on the Planning and Zoning Boards, and involvement with numerous local organizations, they are already immersed in the challenges to keeping Princeton affordable. They are working to find solutions and prepared to hit the ground running this January 1. On November 5, you have the opportunity to show your support for two dynamic women with the courage and tenacity to ensure that Princeton remains a welcoming and affordable town. Please join me in voting for Mia Sacks and Michelle Pirone Lambros for Princeton Council. TOMMY PARKER Leigh Avenue

for students — always asking her fellow Board members, “Is this in the best interest of our students?” Dafna shows up and gets things done. Her steadfast commitment to her work as a Board member had an impact on every initiative of the Board from 2016-2018, from the later PHS start time to the successful facilities referendum; from fostering a productive working relationship with staff to improving communication between the Board and the community; from consistently advocating for those students who are most vulnerable to being there to support all students and staff at special events. The heartfelt sendoff Dafna received from community members at the Board of Education meeting on December 18, 2018 was inspiring. The thanks Dafna received at the Johnson Park amphitheater dedication on September 17, 2019 was sincere. There is no doubt that Dafna has already made a difference in our schools and in our community, but she is running for another term because there is more work to be done. Please join me in supporting Dafna Kendal’s candidacy for the Board of Education on November 5. BETSY KALBER BAGLIO Lafayette Road

To the Editor: We are writing in support of Susan Kanter, who is running for the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. Susan would be an assert to the Board as she brings to the table the following: 1. The rare ability to collaborate with people who hold different or opposing views. 2. A deep commitment to listening, civil discourse, and problem-solving. 3. The ability to make difficult financial decisions. 4. A long track record of working on behalf of Princeton’s most vulnerable students. 5. Fifteen years of experience as a leader in local community and school organizations, including the 101: Fund, the Princeton Children’s Fund, The Jewish Center of Princeton, the Princeton High School PTO, and the John Witherspoon Middle School PTO. We urge you to join us in voting for Susan Kanter on November 5.

Bronfeld’s Volunteer, Employment Choices Always Revolved Around Helping People

Kendal’s Work on the Board of Ed Was Vast in Breadth and Depth

Public Schools for their entire pre-college education, first Littlebrook Elementary, then John Witherspoon (JW) Middle School and then finally Princeton High School. While her children were in the Princeton schools, Debbie was an active school parent. She was a member of the Parent Teacher Organization at Littlebrook. She volunteered as a room parent, as a worker in Littlebrook’s library and at JW’s book sales. She frequently attended School Board meetings as an interested parent and was a frequent presence at school functions. Debbie has always been counted on to show her support at concerts, musicals, and football games (she often joins us in cheering on our Princeton High cheerleader!). Three years ago, Debbie ran for a spot on the Princeton School Board because she wanted to work to ensure that all children in Princeton get the quality education that they deserve. She won a spot on the Board, earning the most votes among the candidates that year. In the years since she joined the Board, she has worked hard to fulfill those promises to our children. She’s an active member of the Board, not content to just vote along with everyone else. She’s an independent thinker and evaluates the Board’s projects in terms of their merit and in light of practical considerations such as budgetary constraints. We are writing this letter today because we need Debbie to continue to be a voice on the Board; we again fully support Debbie Bronfeld’s candidacy. WENDY HEATH, STEPHEN KAPLAN Benjamin Rush Lane

Susan Kanter Has Long Track Record Of Working for Most Vulnerable Students

Bierman Intends to Represent All Princeton By Pushing for Non-Partisan Elections

To the Editor: This year Princeton voters registered as Independents and Republicans have a rare chance to vote in a competitive election for Princeton Council. Democrat Adam Bierman chose to run for Princeton Council this year as an Independent, putting three Democrats in the race the for two Council seats to highlight the need for non-partisan elections in Princeton. Princeton Republicans and Independents know most years the Princeton November election is old Soviet style with one unopposed Democratic candidate for each seat following a competitive Democratic Primary election. According to the Rutgers Center for Government Services, Princeton registered voters in 2018 were 55 percent Democratic, 10 percent Republican, leaving 35 percent as Independents or other party affiliations. If Democrats truly believe in one-person equals one-vote, then there is an urgent need for non-partisan elections in Princeton as 45 percent of registered voters are regularly excluded from the competitive Democratic Primary election. I support Adman Bierman running for Council as he intends to represent all of Princeton by pushing for non-partisan elections. DONALD J. COX, JR. S. Harrison Street Continued on Next Page

Mia Sacks for Council: Experience that Matters

To the Editor: Princeton needs representatives on Council with proven experience building community and making policy to stand the test of time. Mia Sacks has worked tirelessly and without fanfare, building trust and delivering results for our community for over a decade. If you know Mia even just a bit, you already know she succeeds not by wielding power, but through empowering others. Mia’s professional experience with nonprofit advocacy, leadership, and governance has prepared her to serve effectively on Council. She has a proven track record of competence and commitment, both here at home and abroad. For example, as a program officer for public health at the Soros Foundation, Mia was responsible for overseeing the development, funding, implementation, and evaluation of public health projects throughout the former Soviet bloc countries. The scale, complexity, and impact of her programs, which disbursed more than $30 million annually, was remarkable, and required her to skillfully navigate intricate social and political systems. As a program officer, Mia was adept at navigating complex professional networks. She worked closely with the Harvard School of Public Health, the World Health Organization, USAID, and the World Bank, to develop the first Global Investment Plan for Tuberculosis. Mia oversaw a program that brought physicians from the U.S. to train their counterparts in the former Soviet Union, as well as programs that funded prison reform, disability rights advocacy, and early research into palliative care treatment. Past performance tends to be an indicator of future results, and Mia comes prepared to confront the challenges we face in Princeton with tough analytical thinking, diplomacy, hard work, and relevant experience. We’re fortunate that Mia is all-in for Princeton and will continue to deliver for our community. As a result, we’re all-in for Mia: she is without a doubt the right choice for Princeton on November 5!

Stankiewicz and Kanter Will Ensure Strong and Collaborative Board

To the Editor: We are honored to serve on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. We have firsthand knowledge of what it takes to do the difficult work that is required on our Board, and the importance of collaboration, creativity and integrity. We are writing as citizens, not as Board members, nor on behalf of the Board. As citizens, we strongly support Greg Stankiewicz and Susan Kanter for election to the Board of Education. Both Greg and Susan have the most important skills needed for the challenges that our district faces in the coming years — the ability to work collaboratively and selflessly, to focus on the (complex) big picture, and to unify our community through transparency, compassion, and a genuine commitment to equity, wellness, and inclusivity for all children. As the Board’s vice president, Greg has strengthened our Board’s governance and increased openness, transparency, and community engagement. He has led in the development of strong student-centered policies around restorative justice and addressing the problem of vaping. Greg has also led a major effort to advocate for increased aid from the state. An early success was $1.7M of additional one-time state aid that Princeton received as partial reimbursement for Special Education expense — a boon to our budget. Greg’s sophisticated, knowledgeable advocacy is essential to address our district’s structural fiscal challenges. Susan has 23 years of relevant experience in the private sector, managing a budget comparable to the district’s $100M budget. She will be instrumental in addressing our budget challenges, ensuring every tax dollar is spent wisely and that facilities planning is done professionally and with a high level of community engagement. Susan has been a dedicated school volunteer, serving as treasurer of JWMS PTO and, for the past six years, co-president of the PHS PTO. The hallmark of her volunteer service has been building equity in our schools, striving to create and fund opportunities for all children, regardless of family income. In keeping with her passionate commitment to enhanced student wellness and engagement, Susan also served on the committee that developed the new high school schedule and later school start time. Susan’s new ideas, relevant skills, and positive, unifying energy are much needed on the Board. Greg and Susan are both personally and professionally prepared to serve. They have each already established the constructive, respectful relationships with the administration, teachers, and staff needed to be effective. Most importantly, by voting for Greg and Susan, you can ensure a strong and effective Board whose stewardship of our schools is always rooted in the interests of our community’s children. Please join us in voting for Greg Stankiewicz and Susan Kanter on Tuesday, November 5th. MICHELE TUCK-PONDER Laurel Circle JESSICA DEUTSCH Riverside Drive BRIAN MCDONALD Journey’s End Lane

The Poetry of Quid Pro Quo on Ezra Pound’s Birthday The people fancy they hate poetry, and they are all poets and mystics! — Ralph Waldo Emerson, from “The Poet” hree years ago, Ben Lerner published The Hatred of Poetry (Penguin Random House 2016), claiming that “Many more people agree they hate poetry than can agree what poetry is.” Billy Collins took a more nuanced approach in his 2007 collection, The Trouble with Poetry. Two years into this quid pro quo presidency, however, the quasi quid pro quo to hatred and trouble would seem to be Why Poetry? (Ecco paperback 2018) by Matthew Zapruder, who read at Princeton’s Lewis Center October 4. I found out about Lerner’s book in a New York Times Op-Ed piece by Alissa Quart making a case for why Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren is wise to have a poet on her team. Noting that “poetry readership is generally up,” Quart cites a National Endowment for the Arts survey showing that almost 12 percent of American adults read poetry in 2017, up from under 7 percent in 2012. Love it or hate it or who-cares, poetry abounds this month, beginning with the birth of Wallace Stevens (October 2) and ending with the arrival of John Keats (October 31). Along with Ezra Pound, whose birthday is today, October 30, and whose name was once synonymous with the hatred of poetry, there’s Arthur Rimbaud (October 20), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21), John Berryman (October 25), and Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath (October 27). Poetry and Laughter Billy Collins is the only writer I can imagine putting the poets of October into a comic fantasy of the afterlife and bringing it off. The onetime poet laureate could take a room full of poetry haters and have them laughing and loving it. I saw this happen 15 years ago during the Dodge Poetry Festival at Duke Farms. The organizers, knowing that few poets could follow him, chose Collins to close the festival. In an article at the time, I imagined him captivating “an audience of dyspeptic Philistines and grouchy poetry critics, with maybe Tom DeLay and the gun lobby in the front row.” Whatever the October 2019 equiva-

lent might be — maybe Mitch McConnell and the gun lobby — Billy would have them rolling in the aisles before he got to the end of the poem about the disgruntled dog coming back from the dead to tell off its master or the one about the boy presenting his mother with a lanyard he made at camp. I don’t care where you come from or how much you think you hate poetry or anything else, it’s a rare treat to really laugh out loud, to give yourself up to sheer unrestrained euphoria, just letting it out. And when everyone’s laughing, it’s almost impossible not to go with the flow, even knowing that if you read the same poem cold on the page you might not crack a grin. The first time I saw Billy Collins in action, I sat through a reading by a respected poet who seemed to know exactly what she wanted to say and how she wanted to say it. Each poem was teeming with possibilities but there were too many to keep track of. Then Billy Collins arrived. A deceptively laidback reader, the opposite of histrionic, he has a seasoned comedian’s sense of timing. Within minutes, everyone in the room came to life. American Music My guess is that in The Hatred of Poetry Lerner performs a quid pro quo with the reader, saying, if you go along with my premise, I’ll give you something great in return: I’ll reveal the essence of poetry, with hatred as the hook, and I’ll make you love it. It’s like putting Emerson’s line in play: you people think you hate poetry,

well, not only do you love it, you’re all poets! You don’t have to read Lerner’s book to know how close he is to poetry. Anyone with any instinct for the beauty of language born, like Lerner, in a place called Topeka already knows poetry’s a force that lives beyond the page. I speak from experience, having spent summers in the same city with my paternal grandparents. When you’re ten years old enduring long boring drives from Indiana to Kansas, you may not have the least interest in poetry, yet you have this instinctive fondness for the state of Missouri that is only partly due to your attachment to the St. Louis Cardinals. The key is the name, Missouri, which is a poem in itself. It took me years to realize that the reason my spirits perked up between St. Louis and Kansas City wasn’t just because of the green rolling hills, it was being in Missouri. On the other hand, if your team is out of the playoffs, Missouri can begin to sound too much like Misery. The Higher Vaudeville I’ve just found another way of misusing quid pro quo. Say instead of prompting you to phone up the leader of a foreign country, your love of American names sends you to “The Santa Fe Trail. (A Humoresque),” the poem it was fun to declaim whenever your parents were out of the house. It comes from The Congo and Other Poems by Vachel Lindsay, who once travelled around the country giving public readings, virtuoso performances he called the “Higher Vaudeville.” Even now, looking at lines like “Hark to the calm-

COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540

horn, balm-horn, psalm-horn./Hark to the faint-horn, quaint-horn, saint-horn,” it’s hard to resist climbing aboard the Santa Fe, the rhymes pounding like the wheels of the train, over that infectious chorus, “Ho for Kansas, land that restores us/ When houses choke us, and great books bore us!” All the italics are the poet’s; in the margins, he gives you prompts: “To be read or sung in a rolling bass, with some deliberation.” A few pages later, you get to the music of the names, “from Memphis, Atlanta, Savannah, Tallahassee and Texarcana” and on through “Topeka, Emporia, and Austin ....” Trick or Treat I was ready to write about Ezra Pound when the Vachel Lindsay express steamed into the midnight station. Unbelievable still, to think that my wife and I saw Pound recite “Hugh Selwyn Mauberley” at the Spoleto Festival the summer we were on our pre-nuptial hitchhiking honeymoon. This old man looming before us, with his blue eyes magnified by the lenses of his spectacles, his white pointy beard, white hair, craggy face, had shared Lost Generation Paris with Joyce and Fitzgerald, Eliot and Hemingway, who remembered him in A Moveable Feast, “always a good friend, always doing things for people,” Ezra, “who was so kind to people I always thought of him as a sort of saint. He was also irascible but so perhaps have been many saints.” Hemingway’s taken us a long way from the despised poet imprisoned for his wartime fascist broadcasts in a U.S. military camp in Pisa, three weeks of it in a 6-by-6-foot steel cage, which he blamed for his mental breakdown. ou can hear Pound reading on YouTube, sounding, with his stylized histrionics, like Captain Ahab reciting verse from the top deck of the Pequod. Listen to Vachel Lindsay, and you can hear certain town-crier similarities. I’ve always wondered how Keats would sound. Imagine a Halloween reading of “The Eve of St. Agnes” or “La Belle Dame Sans Merci.” Come to think of it, the trick or treat ritual is classic quid pro quo. You do this for me or else. — Stuart Mitchner

MUSIC REVIEW

@princetonshoppingcenter

The University Chapel presents

n a three-concert series entitled “Icons of Song,” Princeton University Concerts is examining both the concept of love and ways to expand the boundaries of chamber music. Composers through the centuries have explored the ups and downs of love through the solo song genre, and in the first of the “Icons of Song” series, Princeton University Concerts presented a program of two song cycles celebrating these very ideas. Accompanied by pianist Brad Mehldau, British tenor Ian Bostridge performed a contemporary song cycle by Mehldau, as well as Robert Schumann’s lyrically Romantic Dichterliebe. Throughout the more than 25 songs which made up the two cycles, the audience at Richardson Auditorium last Tuesday night listened in rapt attention as these two esteemed performers conveyed some of the most formidable yet tender poetry in literature. A native of London, Bostridge received his musical education in England’s finest institutions, including as a choral scholar at Westminster School and a student at St. John’s College in Oxford and Cambridge. His recordings of both opera and lieder have won major international prizes and have been nominated for 15 Grammy awards. Bostridge and Mehldau have been collaborating since 2015, with Mehldau composing several works specifically for the tenor. Mehldau’s 11-song cycle, The Folly of Desire, premiered just this past January and toured by Mehldau and Bostridge this year, set the poetry of Blake, Yeats, Shakespeare, and Goethe, among others. Co-commissioned by four performing arts organizations in England, Germany, and the United States, Mehldau’s work was described by the composer as an “inquiry into the limits of post-#MeToo romantic irony” and a musical discussion of privacy as a cherished freedom. Bostridge brought more than 30 years’ operatic and recital experience to his performance at Richardson Auditorium, conveying the often very adult text to the audience as if telling a story. His diction was clear and precise, and in such poetry as the third song sonnet by Shakespeare, sang as if the text were a soliloquy by a character in a Shakespeare play. These songs made

use mostly of Bostridge’s middle and low registers and demonstrated expressive writing, especially with the poetry of Goethe. Mehldau incorporated word painting into both vocal line and piano accompaniment, allowing the piano to serve as the “great wings beating still” of Yeats’ “Leda and the Swan.” Mehldau’s extensive background as a jazz pianist, as well as his improvisatory skills, could be heard in several of the songs within the cycle. Robert Schumann’s 1840 Dichterliebe, Op. 48 set poetry from Heinrich Heine’s collection of 66 romantic poems entitled Lyrisches Intermezzo. Schumann set 16 of these particular poems but looked to the works of Heine a total of 38 times in his all-too-short career. The poetry of Dichterliebe, written from the standpoint of the protagonist of the poems, rather than an observer, is based on the underlying theme that the joys and sorrows of love are inseparable. Heine’s poetry has attracted composers for almost two centuries, and, as performed by Mehldau and Bostridge, the music of Schumann’s song cycle washed over the audience at Richardson. ostridge took a pensive approach to much of the text; in the opening tribute to the month of May, he allowed spring to slowly emerge as if from a long winter, and kept the quick text precise in the third song, “The Rose, the Lily, the Dove, the Sun.” The varied characters in Schumann’s cycle could be heard in both voice and piano; Mehldau was particularly effective in providing a flowing piano accompaniment in the setting of “I Want to Bathe My Soul,” and he and Bostridge created a vast cathedral effect in conveying poetry about the “holy” Rhine River. Mehldau’s agile keyboard playing and Bostridge’s articulation of the words in a light-hearted poem “If the Little Flowers Knew” were also aided by Bostridge’s ability to communicate with the audience. As with Mehldau’s own song cycle, the architecture of the work over multiple short pieces was clear. Bostridge sang the final song of Dichterliebe almost inaudibly, often turning away from the audience, expressing the intense pain of the narrator. —Nancy Plum

Princeton University Concerts will present its next Concert Classics Series performance on Thursday, November 7, featuring violinist Stefan Jackiw and pianist Jeremy Denk; and its next “Icons of Song” performance on Wednesday, December 11, featuring mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato and pianist Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

This framing device, in which a criminal fantasizes about being a performer, is reminiscent of the musical Chicago. But it gives this Catch Me If You Can a concept that makes it a fit for musical theater, and a disparate entity from the Spielberg film.

program that promotes new music and emerging composers, the Institute offers four composers the opportunity to have their music performed by the NJSO and participate in in-depth sessions with industry leaders, July 13–18 on the Princeton University campus. The Institute is open to university composition students or composers in the early stages of their professional careers. The application form, eligibility requirements, and Institute details are available at njsymphony.org/institute. Composers will hear their works in rehearsal and performance, par ticipate in master classes with Institute Director Steven Mackey and receive musical and practical feedback from NJSO musicians and guest conductor Ludovic Morlot. Career-development opportunities with industry leaders will provide the composers with insight into how to get their music published and performed. The NJSO will present participants’ works in concert on July 18 at Richardson Auditorium. “The Cone Institute is really unique,” Mackey said. “It provides a lot of time for the students to work with the orchestra. I think what separates the Cone Institute from many of its peer opportunities is its holistic vision of the composer and [the way we help] composers build their careers so their music is heard. There are sessions with industry leaders, publishers and radio stations [about practical topics] that will be important for a composer’s career.” The Institute is tuitionfree; housing on the campus of Princeton University and on-campus meals are provided. The NJSO will reimburse participants up to $250 towards travel costs.

Lewis Center Announces Choreographers in Residence

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Dance at Princeton Universit y announces four artist residencies in the third round of the Caroline Hearst Choreographers-in-Residence Program. Br ian Brooks, Annie-B Parson, Jumatatu Poe, and the ensemble Urban Bush Women will spend anywhere from a week to a semester in the Lewis Arts complex studios at Princeton during the 2019-20 academic year. The purpose of the Hearst program is to bring prominent choreographers and dancers in conversation with Princeton students through a variety of engagement activities while supporting the development of these choreographers’ work. The residencies planned for each of these four recently named choreographers are aimed at maximizing that potential engagement. Many of the choreographers in this round of residencies will be rehearsing in Lewis Center studios with their professional dancers to further their work on current creative projects. Princeton students will be invited to showings and open rehearsals, with a number of these events open to the public. Each choreographer will also be guest-teaching in classes and inviting their professional dancers to join the classes to dance side by side with students. Other engagement activities include students ap-

prenticing as choreographic assistants, dinners and conversations between the choreographers and students, advising student projects, and sharing informal showings of works-in-progress.

Archie Fisher Performs At Christ Congregation

On Friday, November 15 at 8 p.m., the Princeton Folk Music Society presents one of Scotland’s foremost troubadours, Archie Fisher, in concert at Christ Congregation Church, 50 Walnut Lane. Known for both traditional and original songs, Fisher bridges Celtic and American folk song traditions. Born into a large singing family in Glasgow, Scotland, he has been both a performer and a documentarian. In the 1960s, he formed the Fisher Family band with his parents and his sisters Ray and Cilla, and Artie Tresize. Their album, Fisher Family: Traditional and New Songs from Scotland, is considered one of the finest in its genre. Fisher is an interpreter of traditional songs such as “The Broom of the Cowden-

of the Westmoreland” and “Ashfields & Brine,” that now have become part of the folk canon. His songs are covered by many musicians: “DarkEyed Molly” by Fairport Convention, Eva Cassidy, Stan Rogers, and “Lindsay” by John Renbourn. A master of the guitar, Fisher has recorded and performed with Silly Wizard, Tom Paxton, and The Clancy Brothers, among other folk artists. Along with Martin Carthy and Davey Graham, Fisher was among the earliest steel-string guitar players in British folk music. He devised a mix of new tunings and inventive picking that has influenced his successors. He also hosted the Howff Club where he played with Bert Jansch and Robin Williamson, directed the Edinburgh Folk Festival (1988-1992), and hosted the Travelling Folk program for BBC Radio Scotland (1983-2010). Fisher has received numerous rewards in recognition of his contribution to traditional music: an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in 2006 for “distinguished service to the arts”; inductee in the Scots Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2007; and the Tradition Bearers Award in 2008 from the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival in Canada. Tickets at the door are $25 ($20 members, $10 students 12 – 22, $5 children 11 and under). For more information, visit www.princetonfolk.org.

SIBLING RIVALRY: Joseph and his brothers are the subject of the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” presented by the Yardley Players November 8-17 at Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre. The family-friendly musical retells the biblical story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis, and recounts the jealousy of his 11 brothers, who fake Joseph’s death and sell him into slavery. But all ends well.

gram will hold their third annual fundraiser, Jammin’ with Santa, in the PHS Cafeteria on Houghton Road. The money raised this year will go to a special needs fund that is being set up in memory of PHS special needs teacher Joyce Beldon Turner, who died unexpectedly this past summer. For the last 19 years, her engagement with students routinely extended far beyond the classroom, and she was a passionate advocate for all students and their well-being in every possible way she could. Many consider her to have had a deep and crucial positive influence on their lives, and with the help of the memorial fund the band hopes to continue her legacy. The last two events have raised funds for Puerto Rico, after Hurricane Maria, and Trenton Music Makers, an after-school program in the Trenton School District. At the event, the Princeton High School Studio Band will perform holiday tunes. There will be arts and crafts, games, and a free breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus. All that is asked is a donation from attendees that will benefit the Joyce Turner Memorial Fund. For more information, visit princetonjazz.org.

Artists’ Gallery, 18 Bridge Street, Lambertville, will present “Quietude,” an exhibit of landscape paintings by Joe Kazimierczyk and photographs by Jo seph Zogorski, November 7 through December 1. An opening reception is Saturday, November 9, 4 to 7 p.m. “Quietude” is defined as the state of being calm — peacefulness, stillness, tranquility. The artwork of Kazimierczyk and Zogorski embodies this

renity of the world around us. Kazimierczyk’s oil paintings are inspired by the scenes he encounters while exploring the mountains and forests of Northern New Jersey. An avid hiker, his work in this show focuses on the trails, rivers, and streams he finds in parks ranging from the Sourland Mountains to the Delaware Water Gap, and points in between. For Zogorski, pockets of remaining rural countryside in his native Bucks County and

of reflection and serenity. The lives of his ancestors — who settled here in the early 1900s — and their stories of living in a community closely tied to the land, plus imaginings of the native people who lived here previously, often help to inform his image making. Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street, Lambertville. Hours are Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www. LambertvilleArts.com.

States of Health: Visualizing Illness and Healing

On view November 2 through February 2 at the Princeton University Art Museum, “States of Health: Visualizing Illness and Healing” features over 80 objects from around the world — from antiquity to the present — including paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, photographs and multimedia, that collectively illuminate the role that art plays in shaping perceptions and experiences of illness and healing. The works of art represent and respond to pandemics and infectious disease, mental illness, the hopes and dangers associated with childbirth, and the complexities of care. The Museum has collaborated with a diverse range of disciplines, programs, and voices at Princeton — including experts in the fields of infectious diseases, disability, literature, medicine, contagion, psychology, and creative writing — in order to provide multiple points of entry to the objects on view. “With the medical humanities a growing field, “States of Health” afforded us an extraordinary opportunity to pose important questions about how we visualize both wellness and disease,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. “By positioning objects that have likely never been in dialogue with each other before, the exhibition draws on multidisciplinary perspectives to consider health and healing today, how artists have interpreted these states over time, and how they both differ and share certain characteristics across many cultures.” “States of Health” is organized into four thematic groupings : “Confronting Contagion,” “States of Mind,” “Worlds of Care,” and “Birthing Narratives.” Cross-cultural juxtapositions throughout the exhibition consider both broad issues and specific historical events from a visual perspective. In “Confronting Contagion,” the two primary areas of focus are the bubonic plague and AIDS, while additional artworks speak to syphilis, cholera, and typhoid fever, among other diseases. A 16th-century Italian painting of Saint Sebastian by the Master of the Greenville Tondo shows the role this early Christian martyr played as a protector against the plague, also known as the black death. A

1992 screenprint of two figures from a graphic memoir created by the artist David Wojnarowicz and the cartoonist James Romberger illustrates Wojnarowicz’s life, from his years as a homeless teenager to his struggles with AIDS. “States of Mind” features artists’ reflections on their own mental struggles as well as the experiences of others. Utilizing different stylistic means, these works communicate inner turmoil, while inviting empathy from the viewer. Leonora Carrington’s color lithograph Crookhey Hall depicts fleeing figures and an ominous palace in the background, s u g g e s t i n g a s s o c i at i on s with her book Down Below (1944), an account of her experiences in an asylum, where she was subjected to convulsive shock therapy. “Worlds of Care” juxtaposes objects used for medical treatment with others providing spiritual comfort, and places in conversation works reflecting self-care with others depicting caregiving by a doctor or other healer. Gordon Parks’ photograph Isabel Beside Sick Father, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil speaks to suffering and healing. In 1961 Life magazine sent Parks to Brazil for a story on poverty in Latin America, specifically in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas, where he spent weeks documenting the lives of the Da Silva family. The final section, “Birthing Narratives,” speaks to the hopes and perils associated with pregnancy, childbirth, and the many rituals across cultures surrounding the start of human life. In Nigeria, which experiences one of the world’s highest rates of twin births, Yorùbá parents who lost one or both of their twins often commissioned Ère Ìbejì sculptures, miniature images created to house the immortal souls of children said not to have died, but to “have traveled” or “gone to market.” To care for the child’s spirit, the parents or surviving twin would ritually wash, clothe, and feed the sculpture, resulting in its present worn surface. The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Fr iday, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit artmuseum.princeton.edu.

Art All Day embodies that complexity, and participants will come away having experienced myriad meaningful and intimate interactions with the artists and citizens of the city.” On November 2, visitors can park for free at Artworks, pick up a map/program and explore sites themselves, or sign up for guided tours.

Sticking Together, Displaying Grit in the Clutch Tiger Football Outlasts Harvard 30-24, Now 6-0

ohn Orr didn’t play a down, but he helped set the tone for the Princeton University football team as it hosted Harvard last Saturday in an Ivy League showdown. Having been sidelined when he suffered a leg injury in the preseason, senior linebacker and tri-captain Orr was asked by Princeton head coach Bob Surace to speak to his teammates before Princeton took on the Crimson in battle of rivals that were both 2-0 in Ivy play coming into the game. “John means so much to this program and he is out; it is a horrible feeling to have a guy out that put so much into it,” recalled Surace. “I said to him that I would love to have you address the team and he gave this amazing speech last night. It was about the guys being strong and the whole group of 100 guys playing together and showing grit. That was the message. I repeated the message at halftime. We had a little adversity and I said are we going to stay together and are we going to show grit.” Taking that message to heart, Princeton overcame a 14-10 halftime deficit to pull out a hard-eared 30-24 victory over the Crimson before 9,028 at Princeton Stadium. The triumph improved the 13thranked Tigers to 6-0 overall and 3-0 Ivy as they extended their winning streak to 16. Sophomore receiver Dylan Classi played a key role in the victory, scoring the first touchdown of the game as Princeton went ahead 7-0 and then tallying the final TD of the afternoon as the Tigers extended their lead to 30-21, giving them a cushion as Harvard made a late charge.

In reflecting his second TD which came on a diving grab with 3:16 left in the fourth quarter, Classi credited his connection with senior quarterback Kevin Davidson. “Working with Kevin all year round, plays like that have to be routine in order to win big games like this,” said Classi, a 6’1, 190-pound native of Englewood Cliffs, N.J. who ended up with seven catches for 107 yards in the win. “Coach [Bob Surace] came into it all week, saying we have to make plays. All of the receivers and everyone on the offense did their job. We all made plays when we needed. to.” Trailing 14-10 headed into the second half, Princeton knew it needed to come up with some big plays to turn the tide. “We were moving the ball, but we were kind of shooting ourselves in the foot,” said Classi. “The mentality at halftime was just to put the foot on the gas and keep going. If we do what we do, we should be in good shape. Hats off to them, they are a tremendous team with a great defense. It was a hard fought game.” Davidson, for his part, had to scramble away from the Harvard defense to find Classi on the final Princeton score of the day. “I had to use my athleticism and jump over someone,” said a smiling Davidson, a 6’4, 225-pounder who is known more for his strong arm than quick feet. “Since Dylan and I have worked together so hard this past seven, eight months, we are on the same page. I gave him a look and said go. It is

going to be fun to watch on film tomorrow.” For most of the afternoon, it wasn’t fun dealing with an inspired Crimson team determined to knock off the Tigers. “They have a pretty talented front, their linebackers and their defensive linemen are big, talented, and physical,” said Davidson. “I think our offensive line did well with what we asked them to do. We knew we were going to have to pass the ball. They gave us some coverages that we liked and we took advantage of, especially on third down, so that was successful.” The Tiger defense, on the other hand, came up with three interceptions that proved absolutely crucial to the team’s success as the picks resulted in 17 points for Princeton. Junior linebacker Jeremiah Tyler made the first interception early in the game, resulting in a Tiger field goal. Midway through the third quarter, linebacker Daniel Beard came up with the pivotal pick of the contest, corralling a Harvard aerial after Princeton had been stopped on a fourth and one. One play, later, the Tigers scored on a 31-yard TD pass to Colin Eaddy to take a 16-14 lead they never relinquished. Then with Princeton clinging to a 23-21 lead with five minutes left in regulation, defensive back Matthew Winston got into the act, picking off a Jake Smith pass, leading to the final TD by Classi. “They did just an amazing job all game, whenever we had to come off the field, they were right there to pick us up,” said Davidson. “That is the team aspect.

During the offseason, we are battling back and forth. Once it is game time, it is come together and work for each other. That is what this team is about.” Sophomore defensive back Winston picked a good time to come up with his first career interception. “I read my keys; I just sat on it and waited for the quarterback to declare and just played the ball from then,” said Winston, a 6’0, 200-pound native of Hoschton, Ga. “I got a great break on the ball. I think the ball was a little bit high but it just allowed me to make a play on the ball.” In Winston’s view, playing together is what allowed the Tigers to come through with the win. “It was just an all-around team effort. Our offense came out swinging,” said Winston. “They punched the ball down their throat over and over. We just kept fighting. That was the message through halftime, not only as a defense but as a team.” In the view of Surace, sticking with a running game that was getting stifled for much of the contest exemplified Princeton’s fighting spirit. “We have a gritty team, we weren’t getting yards,” said Surace, whose ground attack ended up gaining just 103 yards on 28 carries with 47 yards of that total coming on one run by Eaddy. “First down was going for two yards. There is something to continuing to run the ball that way because it does have an effect later in the game. That drive at the end was probably reminiscent of that. You get more pull from the defensive backs when there is a better running game.” Surace was not surprised to

TOUCH OF CLASS: Princeton University football player Dylan Classi goes up for a catch in recent action. Last Saturday, sophomore receiver Classi made seven catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns to help Princeton defeat Harvard 30-24. The win improved the No. 13 Tigers to 6-0 overall and 3-0 Ivy as they extended their winning streak to 16. Princeton will look to keep on the winning track at it plays at Cornell (2-4 overall, 1-2 Ivy) on November 2. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) see Classi culminate the final drive with a clutch reception. “Dylan is a competitor; when we recruited him, his coach Fred Stengel (of Bergen Cathlolic) said you are taking this guy, he is Yogi Berra,” said Surace. “Casey Stengel wouldn’t start the bus until Yogi Berra got on because he is the winner. Yogi won and he said this guy wins. If this guy is on your bus, you win. The guy comes up with some really key plays. That was not an easy catch in the end zone, he had to fully lay out.” Sophomore Beard’s superb catch on his interception proved to be a turning point in the win for the Tigers. “That was a little bit of a boomerang of points and change of possession,” recalled Surace. “We go from having something we feel we are very good at and they stopped us. Credit them, they submarined their

defensive linemen and we didn’t get any push. On the interception, it was one hell of a diving catch by Beard. Colin had dropped one earlier that he usually catches; I think it is a good sign of confidence, you go back to guys that way.” In the final analysis, Princeton had to live up to Orr’s words in order to subdue the Crimson. “You tip your cap to the players, they made some plays, we made some,” said Surace. “We have played Harvard 10 times since I have been here and, take away a few of them, most of the games have been like this. You have a respect and you tip your cap to the opponent. You respect them because they are giving their all and we are giving our all and it is win or lose. As a competitor, this is what you are living for.” —Bill Alden

The disappointment of their season-ending 82-77 loss to Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA tournament last March was still fresh in their heads when the Princeton Universit y women’s basketball team began thinking about this year. The Tigers knew they would be returning a twotime Ivy League Player of the Year in senior Bella Alarie, a floor general in junior Carlie Littlefield, the highly regarded sophomore Abby Meyers, who missed a year after a promising freshman campaign, a good supporting cast of sophomores that had good experience, and a strong incoming freshman class to follow a 22-10 season. “A f te r t h at g a m e, we talked a lot about what the future would hold for our team and we want to make history,” said senior forward and co-captain Alarie. “We saw it was a really close game and an opportunity to win and it just kind of got away from us in the end, but knowing that’s a game we could have won gives us a lot of confidence as a group and we want to go further than that this year. We have high expectations for ourselves and we know we can reach them. Although it was a heartbreaker, we got a lot of confidence from that game.” The only unforeseeable development since then has been a coaching change. With head coach Courtney Banghart leaving for North Carolina, the Tigers are now being guided by Carla Berube, who led Tufts University to the Division III national championship game twice in the last five years of her 17-year career there. “I’ve been very happy with the way they work every single day, the leadership from Bella, Taylor ( Baur) and Carlie, the upperclassmen,” said Berube, who posted a 384-96 record at Tufts. “They’ve done a really, really great job of buying into what we’re teaching and coaching. They’re very committed to the growth and committed to taking everything we say and trying to transfer it to every single drill and any time we get to get up and down the floor.” The first look at Princeton under Berube comes when the Tigers host local rival Rider on November 5 at Jadwin Gym. “We are very excited for the season to begin next Tu e s d ay,” s a i d B e r u b e. “It’s been a great month of practice. We have a couple scrimmages under our belt and we seem to be getting better every day. That’s the main goal at this point in the season, just taking steps forward every single day. We’re looking forward to our Rider game next Tuesday.” Berube and her staff are

big on establishing relationships and they have been working to build new ones at Princeton with their players. “It’s been really fun getting to know them,” said B er ube. “It’s somet hing that me and my staff have been really committed to this preseason. It is vital to successful teams that there are open lines of communication between coaches and players, players and players, coaches and coaches, I think the communication piece is so vital. They’re a great group. They’re a lot of fun. Every day, I can’t wait for 4:45 to roll around and see them on the court.” It didn’t take many afternoons for Princeton players to learn that playing defense will be paramount to getting playing time for Berube. “One of the big things this year is our emphasis on defense,” said Alarie, who averaged 22.8 points and 10.6 rebounds a game last season. “That’s something we’re really committed to every day in practice. It’s different rotations than what we’re used to, so in a lot of ways I feel like a freshman again learning Coach Berube’s style of defense. It has been really awesome. I think we’re a real cohesive unit when we’re locked in. That’s been a big change. I’m excited about it. We look really good on the defensive end.” Berube has been pleased with the way the Tigers have adapted to her demands, and feels lucky to be walking into a program that has established a winning culture. Banghart left as the winningest coach in Princeton history at 254-103 in 12 seasons that included seven Ivy titles. The last time Berube took over a team was 17 years ago when she inherited a nine-win Tufts team. “Back then I had no idea what I was doing,” said Berube. “I’m not sure I know

that much more, but I know who I am as a coach. I said a couple months ago, it’s certainly not broken here, it’s a pretty great machine that I’ve walked into. I’m just putting my spin on things. Bella talked about the defensive end and that’s definitely a work in progress. We’ll be watching film on that today before practice. It’s a very talented group and they know how to work. It’s just my staff and I putting in what we think can work well with the personnel that we have.” Princeton has four of its top six scorers back and adds a f re sh men g roup of Ellie Mitchell, Nicole Young, Maddie Plank and Maya McArthur. The rookies have been pushing the veterans. The Tigers also returned Meyers, who missed last year due to an academic policy violation. Meyers was the Tigers’ second-leading scorer in Ivy games as a freshman in 2017-2018. “It’s great to have Abby back, not just on the team but back on campus,” said Berube of Meyers who averaged 9.4 points and 3.0 rebounds a game overall in her debut campaign. “And she’s been great. She’s a strong, strong player and I’m looking forward to playing her.” Running the offense for the third straight season will be Littlefield, who has been reliable and responsible in her first two years. She’s played older than she is, and now is an upperclassman who is taking the lead in orchestrating Berube’s new attack. “Coach Berube is really big on defense and using that to fuel offense,” said Littlefield, who averaged 13.4 points a game and had a team-high 91 assists in 2018-19. “We’re going to be pushing the ball up. She doesn’t want me to jog it up ever. She wants me to sprint the ball up the floor so we have as much time as pos-

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) sible on the shot clock to get a good shot.” Littlefield is looking forward to a homecoming when the Tigers play in her home state at Iowa on November 20, one of 13 non-conference games in November and December before Princeton opens up defense of their Ivy title January 11 at Penn. Last winter, Princeton lost two of its first four Ivy games before going unbeaten in its next 12 contests until it fell to Kentucky. “Our schedule is very challenging,” said Alarie. “We’re playing some really high powered RPI teams. We’ll be challenged every day we go out on the court. I think that’s what prepares us best for the Ivy League and the postseason if we want to

achieve all the goals we set for ourselves. We’re playing tough opponents, but when you’re battle tested, it does make you feel more confident going into conference play.” Princeton and Penn tied for the top spot in the conference’s preseason media poll. The two rivals have played in the Ivy League Tournament final in each of the last three years. “I think we really own that bullseye,” said Alarie. “I think that makes us a stronger team, knowing that we’re going to get everyone’s best game every night. I think we step on the floor the other team is going to challenge us, they want to beat us and we want to beat them because we want to be the best in the league. I think we’ve grown

to love having that target on our backs.” The Princeton veterans know more of what to expect from their Ivy games and weekends than does Berube at this point but she is anxious to jump in. “I followed it,” said Berube. “I haven’t coached in it, but I know quite a bit about it. I’ve watched a lot of games and went to Harvard games in the past. I know a lot of the coaches in the league, really great coaches, smart X’s and O’s, and they get their teams to play at a really high level. I know how important every game is and how competitive it will be. I also wanted to be in this league, so I’m excited for the challenges that await.” —Justin Feil

Princeton Men’s Hockey Featuring New Faces, Opening Season with 2-Game Set at St. Cloud The trio of Ryan Kuffner, Max Veronneau, and Josh Teves left an indelible mark on the Princeton University men’s hockey team’s record book before they graduated last June. Kuffner ended his career as the program’s all-time leading goal scorer with 75 while Veronneau was the fourth leading scorer with 143 points and Teves set a program mark for most assists (69) by a defenseman. While it would be understandable if Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty lamented the exit of his three bluechip stars who all went on to see NHL action last spring, he is ready to turn the page. “The best part about college athletics is that each year it is a new team; I am used to seeing guys come and go,” said Fogarty, who guided the Tigers to a 1018-3 record last winter. “My philosophy is that you work your hardest when they are here and make it a great four-year experience. You want them to succeed in four years with that diploma. They have done their development, they have gotten their degrees, and it is time to move on.” L ook ing a head to t he 2019-20 season which starts for Princeton when it heads to Minnesota this weekend to play a two-game set at St. Cloud State, Fogarty believes this year’s team can have a great experience. “It has been a positive mood in the dressing room and even on the ice for our two scrimmages against Brown and Yale,” said Fogarty. “ T h e g u ys h ave b e e n working hard and they are coachable. There is a lot of new opportunities at hand for special teams. I am really excited about the group here. I like the guys; the last two months have been good and I am looking forward to our St. Cloud series.” Fogarty is looking forward to deploying senior forward Jackson Cressey, the team’s leading returning scorer after having tallied 23 points on six goals and 17 assists in 2018-19. “Jackson has been consistent through his three years,” said Fogarty. “My expectation after seeing him

play over the past three seasons is that he will be an offensive playmaker who can create on the rush and be a player who is going to quarterback the power play.” Another player to watch for Princeton will be sophomore Corey Andonovski (5 goals and 4 assists in 201819) who appears to have made a big jump from last season. “Andonovski has had a great summer; he came back in great shape and is utilizing his speed, strength and size,” said Fogarty. “He had a terrific showing during the scrimmage. It looks like he took his game to a different level over the summertime by getting his body into great condition. He looks more powerful on the ice.” Princeton’s other returning forwards, which include junior Jake Paganelli (1 goal, 9 assists), senior Liam Grande (2 goals, 4 assists), sophomore Christian O’Neill (1 goal, 5 assists), sophomore Luke Keenan (3 goals, 2 assists), and senior Jeremy Germain (2 assists), should take things to a higher level this winter. “The group in general is good, they all look really good right now,” said Fogarty, who expects freshmen Adam Robbins, Nick Seitz, Liam Gorman, Spencer Kersten, and Matt Hayami to make an impact. “We will have a better assessment after St. Cloud and a couple of games. We are juggling lines and our defensive pairs right now so it is a work in progress with a lot of opportunities for different roles.” As for the Tiger defensemen, senior Derek Topatigh (6 goals, 4 assists) figures to lead a battle-tested unit along with junior Matthew Thom (4 goals, 5 assists), sophomore Matt Kellenberger (1 goals, 4 assists), and junior Reid Yochim (2 assists). “It is going to be a tough decision; we have eight defensemen who can play and obviously we dress six,” said Fogarty, who sees freshman Pito Walton also being in the mix. “Derek is doing very well as a leader; he has done a great job heading up the leadership group. He will see

some time on the power play on the top unit as well.” At goalie, junior Ryan Ferland (3.08 goals against average and .904 save percentage in 2018-19) and sophomore Jeremie Forget (1.80 GAA, .941 save pct.) are battling for time between the pipes along with freshman Aidan Porter. “All three goalies look fantastic, it is a new slate for the two of them - Ferland and Forget,” said Fogarty. “Porter is pushing them as well. They all played very well in the scrimmage. It is going to come to this Thursday afternoon before we decide the starter. I am not sure of how the games are going to play out, one leading to the next one but there is going to be opportunity most definitely for all three to play early in the season.” A major point of emphasis for Princeton this winter will be tightening up things along the blue line. “The one area where we have been concentrating is on the defensive side of the puck, trying to eliminate options,” said Fogarty. “Our philosophy is still the same - we are a puck possession team but the structure within it has changed a little bit more towards the defensive side because that is a statistical part of the game we have to improve upon.We can’t have around 3.0 goals on average to be successful because we realize that we don’t have the firepower up front. One part we can control is that our structure defensively will be executed. We have been paying strong attention to that.” As the Tigers take on St. Cloud (1-1-2 ), Fogar t y’s preparation for the opening weekend is more focused on getting Princeton in synch than the challenges presented by the Huskies. “It is like every year, we have to worry about what we need to do better,” said Fogarty. “If you look at our history, it has been around or after Christmas where we have really had the freshmen incorporated into most of the games and they develop very well by then. It will be St. Cloud’s fifth game, that is a great advantage to have. We know that and that is why we have to be really strong on the defensive side.” —Bill Alden

Having emerged as the leader of the pack for the Princeton High girls’ cross countr y team, Charlotte Gilmore is gaining strength from numbers. “Working as a pack has been our main focus this season and it has helped e v e r y o n e ,” s a i d j u n i or standout Gilmore. “It has helped me individually because I know that when I pass someone, that makes it easier for the people behind me to pass them. It helps knowing that I am not just running for myself but for everyone and having that duality.” Last Friday at the Mercer Count y Championships, Gilmore passed just about everybody, placing third individually in the girls’ varsity race, helping PHS take fourth in the team standings behind champion Allentow n and r u n ner- up WW/P-North and WW/PSouth. “Last year I came in 14th here, so that is exciting,” said Gilmore, who clocked a time of 19:27 over the 5,000-meter course. “It was really cool to know from the opening to see everyone go to the front of the race and to know I am running with them.” Running with a full squad helped PHS stay near the front of the race. “This is the first time all season we have had all

seven on the line just because of injuries and stuff,” said Gilmore. “So we have really been working on running as a pack; hopefully that helped us a little in the first half of the race, two and three were near me most of the time which was super helpful. I heard people cheering for them as well.” PH S h e ad coach Ji m Smirk liked the way Gilmore ran in the county meet. “We have been working on a race plan for her, being real consistent in the second half and aggressive when it counted and forcing other competitors into some duress and trusting herself in doing that,” said Smirk. “She executed that very well today ; I am really happy with how she approached it. The race did go out pretty quick and she didn’t bite. She was very patient and when the opportunity showed itself, she took advantage of it. I am really happy with her effort today.” PHS got a superb effort from freshmen Lucy Kreipke and Robin Roth as Kreipke took ninth in 20:12 while Roth placed 17th in 20:39. “Both Lucy and Robin are definitely contributing as freshmen on varsity,” said Smirk. “They still have a lot to

learn about racing. Our veterans need to be veterans and they need to take care of that part of the team and let our rookies take some risks and take some challenges. Our freshmen did that today; they took some big risks and they paid off for them.” For Smirk, guiding a mix of veterans and newcomers this fall has been rewarding. “I think it has been a really nice season working with them,” said Smirk. “It has been a pleasure, seeing the upperclassmen lead our younger runners and just develop. The whole squad has been a pleasure this season.” With the Central Jersey sectional meet slated for November 9 at Thompson Park in Jamesburg, Smirk will be looking for his runners to show more development. “We have two weeks of work to do, we need to be better; we are a better team than we performed today, a lot better,” maintained Smirk. “We will have work to do. If you want to get out of the sectional, you have got to be better. We have the talent to do it and the experience to do it. Now we have to execute.” On the boys’ side, two of the team’s veterans executed well at the county meet as senior Nick Trenholm took 22nd in 17:03 and junior Jacob Bornstein ended up as the 25th place f in isher in 17: 07. PHS placed fifth in the team standings of the event won

by WW/P-North. “Jacob continues to be an incredibly consistent performer, he just keeps cranking them out,” said Smirk. “Coming here, you have North and South in this race and you have got Liam Murphy in this race. You have some really incredible high end talent and it would be really easy to get dumped in this race. He doesn’t, he stays there and he sticks his nose in it. Nick is finally healthy for us. He is doing a great job for us, he really came on strong.” Looking ahead to the

sectional meet, Smirk is hoping for a strong effort from his boys’ team. “Across the board, we are happy with what they did, again we can be better,” said Smirk. “We have two weeks to do that. We got a little loose one through five. We have to try to be a little tighter there. The pack needs to be a little better. In terms of performance, if we do that, we will be a better team and that is what we are trying to do. That is the next step for us, making sure that we are within arm’s reach of each

Star Goalie Hausheer Ends Career on High Note, Helping PDS Field Hockey Make Prep B Title Game Lexie Hausheer has been a fixture in goal for the Princeton Day School field hockey team, starting from day one as a freshman in 2016. Over the last four seasons, Hausheer has established herself as one of the top goalies in the area, helping the Panthers to a state Prep B title, two runner-up prep finishes, and two appearances in the Mercer County tournament final. So when second-seeded PDS hosted third-seeded Stuart Country Day School in this year’s Prep B semis last Wednesday afternoon, Hausheer was determined to extend her career for one more game. “I did not want my high school career to end today and I know that none of our seniors did,” said Hausheer. “We did lose a couple of key players but the whole season, this was the goal.”

Stepping up, Hausheer posted a shutout as PDS prevailed 1-0. “All of us were just focusing on coming out together and playing our game,” said Hausheer. “It was just doing what we do and keeping our composure.” Hausheer credited the team’s back line with keeping its composure throughout the contest. “I am really proud of them, they have been training this whole season,” said Hausheer. “They played exactly how the coaches have been asking them to. They were marking who needed to be marked. We were really working together, we were all one unit.” The PDS defense was under the gun for a five-minute stretch late in the contest when Stuart generated a series of penalty corners to no avail. “It was just play, it is noth-

ing too new,” added Hausheer, reflecting on that stretch of the contest which saw her make a couple of diving saves. “They know what they are doing; all of us play and stick together and do what we do.” While PDS ended up falling 2-0 at top-seeded Morristown Beard in the title game last Monday, Hausheer is proud of how far the Panthers have come this season. “It has been amazing, it is just putting all of the pieces together,” said Hausheer. “Even in the beginning in practices, you could tell there would be moments, there would be great passes. In games, even in some of the ones where we ended up losing, there were moments of good passing or a lot of possession. We have gradually been able to put it all together, get the goal and keep the goals out and put it all

together for 60 minutes.” Hausheer’s partnership with classmate and star midfielder/defender Caroline Haggerty has helped spark that progress. “All of the seniors have stepped up; Caroline and I play all year round together; we play for a club and high school together,” said Hausheer. “We always, along with the other seniors, work together and step up and encourage one another to do our best.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow sensed that her team was primed to step up against a surging Stuart squad that was coming off a run to the Mercer County Tournament final. “We thought that we have improved quite a bit,” said Farlow. “We were really focused on playing our game, maintaining our structure and a passing game.” The Panthers showed focus on the defensive end, repeatedly repelling the Stuart attack. “Our defensive cor ner structure held so we were pretty pleased with that,” said Farlow. “We are confident with who we have back there with Lexie anchoring it and getting

the shutout. With her experience, four years in the goal, she is very relaxed in there. She doesn’t get rattled; she has just been our cornerstone on defense. She played phenomenally well in the MCT, getting 23 saves in our loss to Allentown in the quarterfinals.” Even though it produced a shaky 2-4-1 start this season, PDS didn’t get rattled collectively. “Our goal was to get better with every game; we kept telling this team they were on the verge of greatness and they just had to put it away,” said Farlow, who got a second half goal from freshman star Jadyn Huff in the win over Stuart. “We have been positive and they have been positive. It was always our goal to get as far as we can in Mercer County and get back to the Prep final. It was important for these seniors because they won a Prep championship their freshman year, they want to bookend it.” Although the Panthers fell short of the Prep B title, Farlow believes the program laid the foundation this fall for continued success. “We have made steady progress because we did graduate such impact players,” added Farlow, whose team ended the fall with an 8-7-3 record. “We just knew that we had to play a team game and we have done that. We have been waiting for people to step up and get it done. No one is selfish on this team. They are happy for everyone to have success so we are super excited about our progress.” Hausheer, for her part, has enjoyed helping the program progress over the last four years. “I can’t believe it is going to be over; it feels like I could still be a sophomore, it is insane,” said Hausheer, who has committed to attend Cornell and play for its Division I field hockey program. “Every single year, it is a different team and we all come together. This year our team dynamic is especially good personalty-wise. All of us are a family on and off the field. We see each other in the halls and we take care of one another, making sure that everyone is doing well.” —Bill Alden

After his Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team edged Princeton High 2-1 in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals to follow up a regular season win over the crosstown rival, Pat Trombetta noted how tough it is to beat a good foe twice in the same campaign. PDS faced the same situation in the MCT semis when the second-seeded Panthers took on a third-seeded Pennington School team it had defeated 3-1 on September 19 during regular season play. In the rematch, a fired-up Pennington squad put the pressure on from the opening whistle, jumping out to a 1-0 halftime lead. “In the first half, they were all over us,” said PDS head coach Trombetta. “They came out and they smothered us. We couldn’t create anything at all in the first half.” The Panthers created more offense in the second half but couldn’t break through and Pennington added a late goal to secure a 2-0 victory. “In the second half, we

were a whole different team. I thought we started winning 50/50 balls. We created opportunities,” said Trombetta. “The girls played hard. We had a couple of good opportunities in the front of the net. The thing that I am proud of is that these girls never stopped, they believe in themselves and they never stop.” Assessing his team’s effort, Trombetta saw good things in the defensive end and midfield. “I thought our defense played well in the second half, in the first half they played on their heels a little bit,” said Trombetta. “We weren’t as aggressive in the first half as we were in the second half. The midfield played very well in the second; Jules Romano did a good job there. We made an adjustment and we put Grace Romano up top to try to stretch the field a little bit and I thought she did a good job with that.” W h i l e Tr o m b e t t a w a s disappointed by the result against Pennington, he is

proud that the Panthers were once again in the mix for a title. “If you look at it, we have made the final four here in five of the last seven years,” said Trombetta. “Obviously we would have liked to make it to the finals this year. We lost to a very good team. We can’t hang our heads based on our effort. It is bitter to swallow this but I think we will regroup and get ready for the preps.” On Monday, PDS did regroup in the state Prep B semis as the top-seeded Panthers defeated fifth-seeded Montclair Kimberley Academy 2-1 in dramatic fashion, rallying from a 1-0 halftime deficit on goals by Brianna Astbury and Aislynn Macco. With the PDS, now 15-3-1, having won five straight Prep B titles, the squad is determined to keep that streak going as it hosts third-seeded Newark Academy in the title game on November 1. “The seniors know that the past couple senior groups have won a championship all four years,” said Trombetta. “They definitely have that as one of their goals to try to finish out on top.” —Bill Alden

Competing Hard at County Championships, PDS Cross Country Primed for Prep B Meet John Woodside knew that his Princeton Day School boys’ cross country team wasn’t going to be in the hunt for a title as it ran in the Mercer County Championships last Friday. “This race today for us is not about where we are going to place, we are not able to compete with this level,” said PDS head coach Woodside. Instead, Woodside was looking for his runners to compete hard in the competition held at Washington Crossing Park. “We try to go out and have each one of them run their best,” said Woodside. “I think they had great spirit and great effort. The results were good.” PDS got a very good effort from junior Gunnar Clingman, who took 31st individually in the boys’ varsity race, clocking a time of 17:11 over the 5,000-meter course. “Gunnar is running really well, he wanted to break 17 today,” said Woodside, whose squad placed 15th in the team standings at the event won by WW/P-North. “He did not quite do it, but he is on the verge. When he gets the right race on the right day, he will do it.” Panther junior captain Tharun Potluri had a fine day, clock ing a time of 19:53 to take 106th. “Tharun had his best time, so he ran really well,” said Woodside, who got some solid running from sophomore William Sun, the 92nd place finisher in 19:18, and junior

Ben Bigdelle, who took 103rd in 19:43. “We had a couple of guys who had some illness but there were a lot of good times from the other guys, a couple of PRs, and that is what you want.” PDS wants to end the season on a high when it competes in the state Prep B meet on November 6 at Blair Academy “It is good because we have a chance to train some and get ready to go,” said Woodside. “Newark Academy is in another place; we are not going to touch them, they are going to win. There are three other teams that are very close to where we are — Pennington, Rutgers Prep, and Gill St. Bernard’s. We are going to give it the best we have got and I know the kids are going to be ready to go.” Wo o d s i d e s e e s g o o d things ahead for his boys’ squad. “It is a better team than we had a right to believe; we lost three seniors who were supposed to be on the team,” said Woodside.

“Two of the top five are freshmen and there are no seniors so we are all coming back. There is a very strong eighth grade class with three really good runners coming in next year and anyone else I don’t know. I didn’t know some of these guys were coming. Ben played soccer the last two years and he started running with his brother and he liked it so he decided to come out for cross country so you never know. Three of our top five I had never even met before.” The Panthers have some good prospects coming back on the girls’ side with freshman Maddy Weinstein leading the way for the Panthers at the county meet, taking 62nd in a time of 23:08. “We had si x girls this year,” said Woodside, noting that junior standout Alex Hollander and promising freshman Meghan Rentner were sidelined due to injury for the counties but could be back for the Prep B meet. “Maddy ran close to a PR today. The girls’ team is looking pretty good. We have no seniors so they all come back, hopefully all healthy.” —Bill Alden

After Tough Loss to Pennington in MCT Semis, PDS Girls’ Soccer Rebounds to Make Prep B Final

W hen it was over, t he Stuart Country Day School field hockey team didn’t want to leave the field. Long after falling 1-0 to Princeton Day School last We d ne s day i n t he s t ate Prep B semis to end its season, the Stuart players sat in a circle on the ground near the bench talking things over. Sur veying the scene, Stuar t head coach Missy Bruvik wasn’t surprised to see her players lingering together for one last chat w it h t he s quad ’s s en ior group of Caroline Mullen, Aditi Mehndiratta, and Caroline Letrent. “I am looking at them now and seeing the leadership that they have shown and what they have taught t h e you nger k id s,” s a id Br uv i k, who g u ided her team to an 11-4-1 record and a spot in the Mercer County Tournament final in addition to the Prep semis. “I think for some of our kids today this is high pressure; they have to perform. It is an intense game and

they are going to be better off for it next year because they are going to have this experience. They will remember it and how they felt, what is needed to win and be successful in games like this.” While Stuart brought plenty of intensity to the conte s t aga i n s t PD S, it struggled to find a rhythm offensively. “Sometimes in spor ts, things don’t click as a team; it wasn’t a lack of everybody wanting it, everybody wanted it,” said Bruvik. “We had some corners, we generated some good at tack there at the end. Sometimes it just doesn’t click and today was one of those days. I thought PDS played very well, they beat us to the ball.” In reflecting on the defeat, Bruvik acknowledged that it was tough to remain sharp through two tournament runs. “We were peaking at the MCT time and then to keep that level of play up is a challenge,” said Bruvik.

“You are up and you have to get back up and do it again for another run. We wouldn’t change anything, we wouldn’t not want to have that oppor tunit y in the counties or the states. They are great kids.” Senior standout midfielder and co-captain Mullen peaked in her final campaign for the Tartans. “Caroline is just special; her passion for the game shows in her play, on her face, and in her intensity,” asserted Bruvik of Mullen, who has committed to attend Tufts University and play for its Division III field hockey program. “That is a 60-minute player in every game and every practice.” In Bruvik’s view, the passion displayed by the team collectively in its postseason run bodes well for the future. “We will be back and we will be better for it with the kids having opportunities to play at this level and in these kind of tournaments,” said Bruvik. —Bill Alden

Ian Franzoni scored three long touchdowns for the Hun School football team, but it was small-yardage situations that were the undoing for the Raiders in a 35-32 loss to visiting Peddie last Saturday. “Those types of things made a difference,” said Hun senior star running back and captain Franzoni. “We missed on three or four two-point conversions. We missed on the fourth down, that’s on me. It is what it is. We worked really hard. Those little short yardage things could have made a difference. You can’t change it now.” Peddie improved to 7-0 while Hun dropped to 6-2. Their only other loss came at the hands of Life Christian Academy, a school in Virginia that plays a national schedule. Hun hadn’t won a game by less than 37 points on the field with a 44-7 win over Chesire Academy (Conn.) on September 7 being its closest game coming into Saturday. Hill forfeited to them October 12 and Hun routed Blair 50-12 on October 5 and Lawrenceville 54-7 on October 19. The sixth Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) school, Mercersburg Academy ( Pa.), dropped football this year. Those circumstances made the game feel even bigger Saturday. “In the league there aren’t really so many competitive games, so when this week rolls around we know we have to lock it in,” said Franzoni, who recently commited to attend Brown and play for its Ivy League football program. “I felt like we had a good week of practice and we focused up. We know when Peddie week comes we have to focus up because that’s the big one. That’s the one we’re focusing on once the season’s over, during winter training, training in the spring, summer offseason, this is the day that’s marked on our calendars. We work really hard for this, so it’s a shame it ended up the way it did. With the league being the way it is, it really puts an emphasis on this game.” Franzoni ran 17 times for

192 yards and two touchdowns, caught two passes for 74 yards and a touchdow n and ret ur ned t wo kicks for 44 yards. Hun quarterback Logan Clouse went 11-for-24 for 201 yards with two touchdowns with one interception. On defense, Hun got an interception from Grant Hansen and raised the level of its play down the stretch. “They gave us a chance to win it at the end,” said Franzoni. “I thought the defense did a great job with that. Obviously there are some things – there was a play with a blown coverage, and that could have had an impact on the game. Overall, they worked really hard and they put us in a position to win and the offense didn’t come up the way we needed to.” The Hun defense halted Peddie’s final two possessions of the game, but the Raiders offense could not even get to midfield. Hun and Peddie each scored five touchdowns. Peddie kicked five extra points and scored the only points in the fourth quarter after a huge fourth-down defensive stop gave them a short field. Hun scored on just one of five attempted two-point conversions. “It’s completely my fault,” said Hun head coach Todd Smith. “We weren’t ready, par ticularly in the extra point category. We left eight points off the board. Kudos to them. Our kids played well, they played hard. The defense stepped up when it needed to, the offense just didn’t come through. It’s a great football so we just have to figure it out. We’ll learn. We’ll regroup and get after it next week.” Hun will end its season at Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) on November 3, giving the Raiders a chance to go out on a positive note after a heartbreaking loss. “I thought we played a really hard game, it’s just some things didn’t work out in the end,” said Franzoni. “I’m proud of my guys for the effort we put out. Sometimes you end up on the other side. I thought we had a great season up to this

TRIPPED UP: Hun School football player Ian Franzoni gets corralled in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, senior star Franzoni rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns in a losing cause as Hun fell 35-32 to Peddie.

point, played a hard game, but just some things down the line didn’t work out for us.” The topsy-turvy contest started with a sloppy Peddie possession featuring three penalties and a fumble before Hun began its first possession at its own 16-yard line. After back-toback short runs for Franzoni, Clouse moved Hun out of the shadow of its own end zone with a 37-yard completion to Keegan Woods on a crossing route. One play later, Clouse found Nick DeGennaro behind the defense for a 45-yard touchdown completion to make it 6-0. Peddie took its first lead of the game, 7-6, on a 10-play, 40-yard drive on the next possession. Peddie went up, 14-6, late in the first quarter after sacking Clouse and forcing a fumble the Falcons recovered deep in Hun territory. The Raiders roared back to life when Franzoni burst through the Peddie defense for an 81-yard touchdown run to bring the Raiders back within 14-12. Peddie, though, upped its lead to 21-12 on a broken coverage by Hun for a 49-yard touchdown pass. The Raider defense stiffened up, stopping the Falcons after they got deep in Hun territory after a blocked punt. It only took one play for Hun to take advantage as Clouse lofted a screen pass to Franzoni on the left side, his blockers flattened the Peddie defense on the outside and Franzoni raced 74 yards for a touchdown. Clouse’s 2-point conversion pass to a wide-open Connor Deveney narrowed the deficit to 21-20 with 3:49 left in the second quarter. Hun ended the half with Hansen’s key interception to stay close. Hun regained the lead, 26 -21, with a nine-play, 80-yard drive aided by three Peddie penalties. Ahmad Dixon carried the ball on the final three plays of the drive, and shot out through the right side of the offensive line for a 12-yard touchdown run to finish the drive. “The drive we had to open up the half was great,” said Smith. “We went down there and scored. Other than that it was big plays. We took what they were giving us.” Peddie answered the Hun score on its first possession of the second half to go back in front of the Raiders, 2826, with 3:30 left in the third quarter. Thirteen seconds later, Hun had the lead again. On Hun’s first play after the Peddie score, Franzoni zipped through a hole in the right side of the line for an 80-yard touchdown run to bring his rushing total to 191 yards for the day and give Hun a 32-28 lead going into the fourth quarter. “I thought our line did a really good job today,” said Franzoni. “You might look at those big plays and say something about me, but it’s really the line that did a great job and opened up the holes. They did their job and I did my job and it worked out. Coach Smith put us in a great position to win. He called the plays and did a great job with that and we came out and executed when we did, but then on the short yardage plays we struggled.”

It was all-or-nothing for the Hun offense, and in the fourth quarter, there was more of the latter. Hun’s defense forced a Peddie punt and the Raiders had the ball as the game moved into the fourth quarter. On the second play of the fourth quarter, Franzoni was stopped on fourth-and-1 from Hun’s own 17. Franzoni’s final five carries of the game netted just 1 yard. Peddie took the lead for good, 35-32, on a 21-yard touchdown pass from its backup quar terback on t hird dow n -and-14 af ter getting the ball back in the red zone. There was still 10:22 left in the game, but Hun turned the ball over on downs in its next two possessions and Clouse’s final pass was intercepted when his intended target was pushed out of bounds. “Our defense played well,” said Smith. “We came up with stops when we needed them. It was a sloppy game on both sides and we definitely had a chance to win. The buck stops with me. Everything that happened today was all on me.” Franzoni and the Raiders will look to go out with a win at Wyoming Seminary. After that, the star running back will shift his focus to preparing for the next level, getting ready to play for Brown. “I think we have one of the best coaching staffs in the state for sure,” said Franzoni. “Being around such a competitive team has helped. Day in and day out, practicing against Division I guys every day helps, and being coached up by some great coaches has helped. It’ll definitely make the transition easier to the next level just being in a competitive environment like I’ve been in the past four years has helped.” Having gone from being a back-up for the past three years to a team captain for a Hun squad that came a score away from winning the MAPL title has made it a memorable fall for Franzoni. “It’s meant a lot to me,” said Franzoni. “I feel honored that the coaching staff and my teammates have recognized me as someone that can lead the team in a way that they want to. I knew when I got elected as a captain, I had to step up as a leader and lead by example. That’s what I try to do in the offseason, punch the clock when you need to and work as hard as you can so my guys can follow and try to have the most success this season that we can.” —Justin Feil

With Carter Setting the Pace at County Meet, Hun Cross Country Headed in Right Direction Hun School boys’ cross country star Harry Carter didn’t achieve his goal coming into the Mercer County Championships but he was still all smiles after the meet last Fr iday af ter noon at Washington Crossing Park. “I was shooting for a particular place, 10th, so I was one short,” said sophomore Carter, who clocked a time of 16:30 over the 5,000-meter course in taking 11th in the boys’ varsity race. “Last year I was 52nd so I did a lot better than last year.” In reflecting on that progress, Carter credited coaching and some inspiration from one of team’s previous stars. “Our new coach [ Kur t Wayton] is really good,” said Carter, whose effort helped Hun take eighth place in the team standings at the event won by WW/P-North. “Literally, he has helped me with everything. He has taught me so many new techniques and so many new types of training to get much better. Also, my former teammate from last year, Martin Adams motivated me to keep pushing and training.” Pushing harder in training has helped Carter reach a higher level. “I have upped my mileage a lot in particular,” said Carter. “I am doing more like 50-60 miles a week now; last year I was at 20-30.” While Hun head coach Wayton was happy with Carter’s performance, he knows there is more to come from his sophomore standout. “Harry had a solid effort but Harry would be the first to tell you that he could have done a little bit better,” said Wayton. “He is a sophomore and this is the first time all season that he has really been tested. In the races he has been in up to this point, he has had a really close shot to win. It is not going to happen against Liam Murphy [of Allentown] and Luke John-

son [of WW/P-North] so I thought he handled himself well. He is a guy who is going to win this race in a couple of years.” Wayton, who is in his first season guiding the Hun cross country program after having built WW/P-South into a powerhouse, is proud of how his runners have been handling themselves this fall. “I am happy with the whole team; I am excited about the way things are going,” said Wayton, who had two other runners in the top 50 at the county meet as senior Liam Kelso placed 47th in 17:40 and sophomore Gabe Huang right behind in 48th at 17:41. “It is a tremendous group of young people. The boys and the girls this year are the tip of the spear for what is going to be an outstanding program for the Hun School.” In Wayton’s view, that work ethic will yield outstanding results down the road for the Raiders. “We have 25 kids each and every day who are super excited to be a student athlete and who are super-excited to work hard,” said Wayton. “There is no complaining, there is no bellyaching, they come to work each and every day and they are just fired up for two hours. You do that over several seasons and several years and you are going to get really good.” Carter, for his part, is fired up to compete in the MAPL meet on October 30 and the state Prep A championships on November 6, with both competitions to take place at the Blair Academy. “I am going to pivot off the time today when I am running the MAPLs and the Prep As so I can feel comfortable with the pace,” said Carter. “Hopefully I can get a nice kick in the end and get a win.” —Bill Alden

David E. Carlson

David E. Carlson, of Williamsburg, VA, passed away October 16, 2019. Born March 5, 1942 to Anna (Salomaa) and Emil Algot Carlson, Weymouth, MA. David attended Weymouth High School, Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute (BS in Physics), and Rutgers University (Ph.D. in Physics). He served as Captain in Pleiku, Vietnam, commander of all communications in the country. He started his career at RCA Labs in Princeton, NJ, and became vice president of the Thin Film Div. of Solarex (Amoco subsidiary). Retiring in 2002 as Chief Scientist for BP Solar, he continued contract reviews of grants and proposals submitted to the Dept. of Energy. He was also affiliated with several universities. David received many honors including the RCA Laboratory Outstanding Achievement Award, The Ross Coffin Purdy Award of The American Ceramics Society, The Morris

Lois Furcht Harris

Lois Furcht Harris, 87, passed away from Parkinson’s disease with family by her side at the Acorn Glen Assisted Living Facility in Princeton, NJ, on Saturday September 28, 2019. She is survived by two siblings, Bill and Sally (Anthony Trama); sister-in-law Margaret Corey; children Barton (Fran), Verlee “Dee” (Grayson Ferrante), Nathan (April), James (Carolyn Coughlin) and Calvin (Lori); granddaughters Dana, Erika, Emily, Abby, and Becky; and grandsons Gregory, Adam, Nicholas, Ryan, Jason, Ethan, and David. Lois was born May 13, 1932 in Mt. Kisco, NY, and a graduate of Pleasantville (New York) High School, earning an Associate’s Degree from Centenary College and later earning her Bachelor’s Degree from Thomas Edison State College, becoming a Family Counselor in Princeton. After closing her practice, she helped found a local delivery service named Beck and Call. Lois also cofounded Art Exhibition Consultants. Her love of gardening spilled over into her taking art lessons and becoming a

pastel artist, exhibiting at the Princeton Senior Center. She married Barton A. Harris of Marlboro, NY. Her husband completed Medical School and their life began with a couple of “Army moves” to Texas and Germany, with her husband advancing his education and beginning his practice in New York State. Her four sons were born in New York State and her only daughter was born in Germany. With five children born within a seven-year period, Lois became a “full time” Head of Household. She was known to laugh easily, open her door to care for friends and family without question, and to enjoy ice cream in all its forms. She was patient, thoughtful, and intelligent, living a full and fulfilling life. Knowing how much Lois loved Wanaksink Lake in Rock Hill, NY, we’ve chosen to have a Memorial Service for her on Saturday, November 30th, at the Reformed Church of Shawangunk in Wallkill, NY, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her honor to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Grand Central Station, P.O. Box 4777, New York, NY 10163 or www.michaeljfox.org/donate.
