Candidates for Council, BOE Gear Up For November 5 Election With lawn signs proliferating and only 27 days left until election day, three candidates for two spots on Princeton Council and four candidates for three seats on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) are revving up their campaigns.

On the ballot for three-year terms on Council are Michelle Pirone Lambros and Mia Sacks, representing the Democrats after winning the most votes in the June Democratic primary, and Independent Democratic Coalition member Adam Bierman. Jenny Crumiller and Tim Quinn will be leaving the Council at the end of their terms in January. No Republicans are running for Council this year.

Running for three-year BOE terms will be incumbent Debbie Bronfeld, former BOE member Dafna Kendal, new candidate Susan Kanter, and current BOE Vice President Greg Stankiewicz. Bill Hare will be stepping down from the BOE at the end of the year.

With a wide range of hotly-contested issues on the table for both the town and the schools, the candidates have been getting their messages out through personal contact, social media, and a variety of online platforms, but each candidate was given the opportunity to state briefly “what the voters should know about you and your views on the future” of Princeton or the Princeton Public Schools (PPS).

Princeton Professor Wins Nobel Prize James Peebles, Princeton University professor emeritus and a graduate of the Class of 1962, has been awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology.”

Peebles was one of three to be recognized with the honor on Tuesday, October 8. He receives half of the approximately $908,000 cash award. The other half is shared by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz of the University of Geneva, Switzlerland, and the University of Cambridge, “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star.”

At a press conference held Tuesday afternoon at Richardson Auditorium, University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, who as a physics major was a student of Peebles, said, “While searching the cosmos, he never lost focus on what was right in front of him: his students.”

Eisgruber recalled Peebles as “a popular teacher and a fixture in the undergraduate program.” Peebles was famous for his ice cream breaks, when halfway through the class, he and his students would buy ice cream from the vending machines in Jadwin’s basement. “If I remember correctly, he would continue the lecture with ice cream in one hand and chalk in the other,” Eisgruber said.

The University’s Physics Department Chair, Professor Herman L. Verlinde, said of Peebles, “He is one of the true pioneers, one of the founding fathers of a whole branch of physics now called theoretical cosmology.”

According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, “James Peebles took on the cosmos, with its billions of galaxies and galaxy clusters. His theoretical framework, developed over two decades, is the foundation of our modern understanding of the universe’s history, from the Big Bang to the present day.”

Peebles is the Albert Einstein Professor of Science, emeritus, and professor

of physics, emeritus. During the Nobel news conference by phone, he said, “When I started working in this subject — I can tell you the date, 1964 — at the invitation of my mentor, Professor Robert Henry Dicke, I was very uneasy about going into this subject because the experimental observational basis was so modest.... I just kept going. Which particular step did I take? I would be very hard-pressed to say. It’s a life’s work.”

Born just outside Manitoba, Canada, on April 25, 1935, Peebles received his B.S. from University of Manitoba in 1958 Continued on Page 7

Fueling Station at PFARS Site Continues to Concern Residents

The fate of the fueling station located at the nearly completed new headquarters of the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad (PFARS), at 2 Mt. Lucas Road, is still undecided.

Responding to neighboring residents’ complaints about the safety, aesthetics, noise, and other aspects of the station, which was moved from one side of the site to the other as part of the construction process, Princeton Council is consider-

ing whether to relocate it to one of three other sites, or keep it in place and make adjustments.

Cameras tracking traffic flow at sites identified by a subcommittee of the Site Plan Review Advisory Board (SPRAB) are in place, according to municipal engineer Deanna Stockton. But the data has not yet been posted for public viewing. Being considered are the parking lot of the Continued on Page 10

Council Candidates

Bierman boycotted the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) endorsement process last spring, criticizing a “pay-to-play” system, and was not on the primary ballot in June. He is the host of two shows on Princeton Community TV. “I have a difficult task in getting elected to Princeton Council as an Independent Democrat,” he wrote in an email. “I also believe it is possible because of the traditional openness and fairness of our town to candidates who press for change.”

He continued, “We need to end the municipal silence that follows when meters are too complicated and fueling stations 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. I cannot say the same for my opponents.”

CEMETERY TOUR: A free, guided walking tour of Princeton Cemetery will take place Sunday, October 13 at 1:15 p.m, beginning at the entrance at 29 Greenview Avenue. The tour will highlight many of the more interesting graves as well as point out some of the sections of the cemetery ranging from the original Old Graveyard and President’s Plot of Princeton University, to the most recently added Pardee Memorial Garden, which provides environmentally-sensitive burial of ashes in biodegradable earthen urns. The non-denominational graveyard is owned and operated by the Nassau Presbyterian Church. There is no raindate scheduled.

Police Blotter A joint investigation has b e e n con d u c te d by t h e Princeton Police Department (PPD) and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office regarding the reported attempted luring incidents that occurred on September 24 and 27 on the 300 block of Witherspoon Street. The reported vehicle was located and a person of interest was identified and interviewed.

It was determined that there was no intent to harm or lure the children involved and no criminal charges have been filed at this time. PPD Chief Nicholas Sutter stated, “I commend the children for walking away from the situations and for reporting the incidents to their mother, who notified our department. The safety of our children and the community will remain our paramount concern.” The PPD says it will provide extra patrols in the area, although no threat to the community was found.

On October 2, at 2:34 p.m., police responded to a report of a house fire on Willow Street. They found smoke coming from the roof of the residence and the home and adjoining residences were evacuated. The Princeton Fire Department and Princeton First Aid Squad were on the scene and the fire department extinguished the fire, which was found not to be suspicious.

On October 1, at 2:51 p.m., a victim reported being scammed by someone on Craigslist who was attempting to purchase his Xbox.

The suspect sent a check to the victim for more than the purchase price and requested reimbursement to be made to the movers who were picking up the Xbox. The check bounced, and the victim did not suffer any financial loss.

O n S epte mb er 30, at 12 : 49 p.m ., a v i c t i m’s

Dodge Ram pick-up truck caught fire while traveling on Great Road. It was determined that the fire was started from a cigarette thrown out the driver side window that ignited a wooden swing set in the bed of the truck.

On September 30, at 8:03 a.m., a victim reported that she left her purse inside the Princeton Garden Theatre on September 29 by accident. Upon returning the purse was missing.

Princeton University for 70 years, announced last week that it will be closing at the end of 2019-2020 school year.

TOPICS Of the Town The board of trustees of ULNS, a nonprofit, nonsectarian, cooperative preschool, voted not to offer classes after the current school year because of “the changing needs of the community and the insurmountable financial consequences due to low enrollment.”

“It was with a very heavy heart that we let our parents know that after 70 years of educating the town’s and University’s children, ULNS will be closing our doors,” said ULNS Board President Catherine Shapiro. “We are committed to work handin-hand with our current families to insure a great final school year and to help those who need it find the best preschool option for their children next year.”

ULNS was started in 1949 on the University campus by spouses of Princeton University faculty members, seeking a high quality preschool education with a cooperative experience.

On Broadmead Street for more than 30 years, the school relocated in 2015 to its current facility at The Jewish Center on Nassau Street near Riverside Drive.

There has been a steady decline in enrollment since that time, with 66 students now enrolled, about half as many as were enrolled four years ago.

“At ULNS, all felt part of a community as well as a school,” said Jim Levine, longtime ULNS board member and father of three ULNS alumni. “It’s a sad day for everyone who has ever been involved with the school.”

Woodney Wachter, ULNS Parent Council president and mother of two ULNS students, reflected on her family’s experience at the school. “In the five years we have spent at ULNS with two of our three children, we have never once heard the words, ‘I don’t want to

go to school,’” she recalled.

“Instead, every day is an eagerly-awaited adventure.

In this, ULNS has given our kids the greatest gift we could ask for from a nursery school: an enthusiasm for learning and a love and trust for the people and places that foster curiosity.”

She continued, “While it is our greatest regret that our youngest will not get to attend, we are eternally grateful for the teachers and staff who have made this institution so special for so

Commenting on the 11 teachers and assistant teachers employed by ULNS, Shapiro said, “The teachers have always been the heart and soul of ULNS, and we will do everything we can to support them in the coming year, including offering financial/retirement planing seminars and job search support.”

ULNS parent Patty Moreno noted, “University League is an experience like none other.

Not only is your child received with open arms, but the entire family as well. Before you know it you are welcomed into this community of people that seek the same loving and accepting environment for their children.”

Free Screening of Film On Samuel Mockbee

The Arts Council of Princeton will present a free screening of Citizen Architect: Samuel Mockbee and the Spirit of the Rural Studio on Tuesday, October 15 at 7 p.m.

The film explores the late architect Samuel Mockbee’s effort to provide students with an experience that forever inspires them to consider how they can use their skills to better their communities. Revealing the philosophy and heart behind the Rural Studio, the documentary film is guided by passionate, frank, and never-before-seen interviews with Mockbee himself.

Interviews with Mockbee’s peers and scenes with those he’s influenced infuse the film with a larger discussion of architecture’s role in issues of poverty, class, race, education, social change and citizenship.

The screening is made possible by Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design, Kirsten Thoft Architect, and Mike Hathaway of Revival Construction. The Arts Council of Princeton is located in the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street. For more information, visit www. artscouncilofprinceton. org or call (609) 924-8777.

Question of the Week:

“Which pieces most speak to you?”

(Asked Saturday at the Beyond Pink Art Show at D&R Greenway Land Trust) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

“Several of the pieces speak to me. The silhouettes are completely beautiful, I love them. The bust castings are very nice. I could see the artists’ pain spoken through the pieces, and it was emotional for me because I am a survivor.”

—Linette Salas, Somerset

“I am a survivor, and doing art for me is very healing. Every time I do a piece, it takes me away to a process of creating and I’m not thinking of anything else. A watercolor titled Out of the Woods by Lulu Huber is just beautiful, and I love it.”

—Mara Carrillo, Lawrenceville

“Lots of pieces here speak to me, but I would say two that speak to me the most are photographs by a survivor named Glenda, who is also from Princeton. She covered her body in body art and had a professional photographer take the photos, and I think she looks so beautiful and striking. I admire how she took charge of this thing that changed her; she’s a survivor.

They’re very powerful images.”

—Christina Reynier, Princeton

“So many of them spoke to me, very, very loudly. Two pieces by the same artist, Martha Otis, spoke to me because there was such a shocking difference between them. The one she did recently was very bright, light, and happy. The piece that she did previously was done while she was going through her breast cancer treatment, and it was very dark. I watched her creating the more recent piece, and I saw the joy that it brought to her. It made me realize how she had really come full circle through her breast cancer, and it made me so happy to know that we could be here for her through all of that.”

—Paula Flory, director, YWCA Breast Cancer Resource Center, Princeton

and earned his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton in 1962. He taught at the University for his entire career. He was an instructor and researcher in the early 1960s, became an assistant professor in 1965, associate professor in 1968, and full professor in 1972. He transferred to emeritus status in 2000.

Colleagues praised and congratulated Peebles on t h e Un i ve r s it y we b s ite.

The honor “is so appropriate,” said Lyman Page, the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor in Physics. “No one else has advanced our fundamental understanding of the universe more. Multiple of his predictions were shown to be correct through measurements. On top of it, he is uncommonly thoughtful, gracious, and kind.”

“It is difficult to overstate Jim’s contributions to humanity’s understanding of our place in the universe,” said Bill Jones, associate

professor of physics. “In addition to laying a great deal of the theoretical groundwork for modern cosmology, Jim pioneered many of the methods that have made cosmology a predictive science and one that allows us to test our theories with observational data. Generous to his students and colleagues, I doubt a kinder soul has ever been so recognized. Congratulations, Jim!” Among his many honors, Peebles received the 2005 Crafoord Prize with fellow Pr inceton ast rophysicist James Gunn, also from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, according to the website. In 2004 he received the Shaw Prize, and gave this account: “When I started work on cosmology, in the early 1960s, I felt uneasy as well as excited, because the long extrapolation from well-established laboratory results to the physics of our expanding universe was supported by exceedingly limited empirical evidence. I remember thinking I might complete two or three proj-

ects in this subject and then move on to something less speculative. That never happened because each project led to ideas for others, in a flow that was too interesting to resist.”

Peebles has published several books on cosmology that are considered classics in the field, and his upcoming book, Cosmology’s Century, An Inside History of Our Modern Understanding of the Universe, will come out in June 2020 from Princeton University Press.

At the press conference, Peebles said he was “proud and delighted at the friendly reception I have received here. It’s such a joy to see the recognition of work that so many have done.”

He expressed thanks to the University of Manitoba for showing him that he loved physics. He urged students in the audience to continue the work. “I hope you guys hurr y up to make those discoveries so I can enjoy them,” he said.

November Election continued from page one

Emphasizing his independent perspective, he went on, “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.

I will always take a position on town matters.”

Lambros ser ves on the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment, the Princeton Merchants Association, and the PCDO, and is a member of the Economic Development Committee.

“We have critical decisions that will be made in the coming year that will lay the groundwork for what our town will look like in the future,” she wrote. “As Princeton becomes increasingly less affordable, the consequences of losing our middle class are adversely impacting our community.”

She continued, “I believe that Princeton can still provide opportunities to build a better life for present and future generations as were available to my family who settled here in the early 1900s. But in order to do

that, we must find a path to increasing our inventory of housing to serve seniors, young families, and people who work in Princeton but who no longer can afford to live here.”

Highlighting the value of her business experience in tackling the town’s most difficult issues, she added, “Integral to the affordability issue is the necessity of investing in our local economy. As a small business owner my expertise will be instrumental in working with the business community to assure a thriving commercial sector. Not only does this sector provide services, employment, and conveniences to residents, but a growing commercial sector means residential tax relief that impacts affordability.

By creating private-public partnerships and working with our tax-exempt institutions we can find new revenue sources as well as provide tax relief for residents.”

Sacks is vice chair of the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee, a member of the Princeton Planning Board, elected county representative for Princeton’s District 13, and active in numerous other local organizations.

She noted some of the greatest challenges facing Princeton. “Key decisions about the next half century for Princeton will be made in the next few years,” she

w rote. “We must tack le head-on the core challenge o f a f f o r d a b i l i t y, w h i c h threatens the socioeconomic diversity that has long distinguished Princeton from other suburban towns. We must also work to responsibly manage growth, build resiliency to climate change into our municipal infrastructure, and jumpstart the revitalization of our central commercial hub.”

She continued, “My experiences on the Planning Board and the Environmental Commission have taught me that sustainable development is contingent upon a coordinated approach to planning and policy. I believe that Princeton Council has a critical role to play in facilitating a community-wide planning process for our town’s future that is equitable, environmentally responsible, and economically innovative.”

She went on to point out some of her qualifications for the job. “On Council, I will work to ensure that we plan proactively — with maximum public participation, accountability to the community, and transparency in all decision-making bodies and processes,” she said. “My years of service to Princeton have left me wellgrounded in the challenges we face; and my ability to communicate clearly, to find compromise, and to forge consensus among groups with disparate views, will enable us to plan our shared future with unity.”

School Board Candidates Bronfeld, who found herself frequently speaking for and voting with the minority on key BOE issues such

as the budget and the recent hiring of a consulting planning firm, has been on the BOE for the past three years, serving on the Student Achievement and Finance and Equity committees, and as chair of the Personnel Committee. Her two sons both went through the PPS. “One reason I am re-running for the School Board is to make sure every student continues to receive their free high school degree,” she wrote in an email. “My plan is to work smarter with the current budget so teachers aren’t laid off; so our most vulnerable students receive the skills they need to succeed; so students can participate in the arts, clubs, and sports they want; and so our neighbors can live in Princeton and not be driven out by higher taxes.”

She continued, “I w ill prioritize student wellness by focusing on decreasing stress, and I will continue to support holding our contract management company accountable for all referendum projects with complete budget transparency.”

Kanter has had three children in the PPS over the past 17 years, with the third graduating from PHS this past June.

She pointed out some of her qualifications for the job. “I have over a decade of experience guiding the PTOs within Princeton Public Schools as president at PHS (5 years) and treasurer at John Witherspoon Middle School, along with many other volunteer roles within our community,” she said.

“A 23-year career managing $250 million budgets trans-

lates into real-world experience in fiscal responsibility.”

Kanter went on to emphasize some of her priorities for the PPS. “I will continue supporting our schools with the objective that all students achieve their potential in a healthy and joyful manner,” she said. “It is a critical time as the Board faces challenges of developing sustainable operating budgets as well as short and long-term facilities plans. It is imperative that this work is collaborative, student-focused and data-driven.”

Kendal served on the BOE from 2016 through 2018, chairing three different committees and serving as vice president for part of her tenure, but was defeated in her bid for re-election last year. A lawyer, she has a son at PHS and a daughter at JWMS. “I want to ensure that every student receives an excellent education,” Kendal wrote. “When teaching positions are eliminated, as happened for the 2019-20 school year, the quality of instruction in our schools is at risk, especially at a time of rising enrollment.”

She went on to point out the value of her past involvement with the PPS. “My prior experience as a School Board member will allow me to help guide cuts to the budget without eliminating teaching positions,” she said. “I pledge to be an effective steward of our district’s resources and use taxpayer dollars more efficiently by cutting wasteful spending and working with community partners to secure other sources of revenue.”

Stankiewicz has been BOE

vice president over the past year of his three-year term and has served as chair of Facilities and Policy committees; liaison to the New Jersey School Board Association, Princeton Planning Board, and PHS PTO; and as a member of the Finance Committee. His daughter is a senior at PHS. “I am a fighter on behalf of every one of our public school students,” he wrote.

“I am proud of what this current Board has accomplished, and if re-elected, pledge to continue our efforts to enhance equity and inclusiveness; reduce student stress; strengthen the district’s finances; and work together with our town and community on how to best and most cost-effectively meet the needs of our growing student population.”

He added, “Most importantly, I want to continue fostering trust and respect among the Board, students, teachers, staff, and community. That is how we build the future that all our students and families deserve.”

The BOE candidates can be viewed in a video of their October 2 forum, which was sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area, at lwvprinceton. org or at Princeton Community TV at princetontv.org.

They will also be participating in a candidates forum on November 1, sponsored by Not in Our Town Princeton at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton.

“

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.

Fueling Station continued from page one

municipal fleet service facility on Harrison Street, the area adjoining the Princeton Police Department parking lot across from the PFARS building, and a site at the Valley Road School property, owned by the Princeton Public Schools and currently used for school bus parking.

“Some of these sites also come with potential major challenges that can make them unfeasible,” Mayor Liz Lempert said this week. “After the traffic data is collected, my expectation is that we will have the data we need in order to make that determination.”

Numerous residents of Mt. Lucas Road, Terhune Road, Laurel Road, Turner Court, and other streets near the new PFARS headquarters voiced concerns at the most recent Council meeting on September 23. The most frequently voiced complaint was about increased traffic that makes walking and biking to Community Park School unsafe.

“Please listen to them and consider moving from this location,” said Laurel Road resident Dana Molina, referring to the recommendations made by the SPRAB subcommittee. “If you’re not going to move it, then make it smaller.”

A Turner Court resident said the traffic backups caused by closing off the section of Terhune Road between Mt. Lucas and Route 206 has resulted in dangerous conditions. “It was a horrible intersection before, but now it’s beyond horrible,” he said. Neighborhood resident Dayle Rounds commented, “It’s time for you all to admit mistakes and make it right. It’s too late to move the PFARS, but it’s not too late to

move the fueling station.”

Others said they have stopped allowing their children to walk to school because of worries about safety. Lempert responded that the town’s engineering department is working on a redesign of the sidewalk to make it safe. “We are aware it’s a major problem with the cars coming down and overshooting the crosswalk,” she said.

Several residents said they want the canopy at the fueling station to be removed.

Lempert said she promised to remove it, and will do so, but only when it is decided whether the station will stay in place or be relocated. “I understand that nobody likes to look at it, but we don’t want to rush and have to pay for another canopy later,” she said.

Getting approval from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for traffic changes takes time, according to municipal administrator Marc Dashield. “We understand the frustrations,” he said. “When we go after their approval, they want traffic counts. That takes time.”

Lempert said this week that the NJDOT does not yet have an exact date for when they are going to do the striping at Cherry Hill Road. “We’ve impressed upon them how important it is,” she said. “They control it, because it touches 206, which is a state road.”

Three additional seconds of green time are to be added for Cherry Hill Road at the Route 206 traffic signal. The striping will mean that left-turning, straight, and right-turning vehicles are to have a separate lane. For inbound vehicles, the straight movements will be combined in the right turn lane instead of the left.

According to the municipal

website, “Once the Cherry Hill traffic signal and lane changes are in place, Princeton will gather the current traffic data and resubmit a request for a new traffic signal at Valley Road/US Route 206. The municipality has been advocating for restoration of the left turn from Valley onto Route 206 for several years. Included in this new submission will be additional justification for NJDOT to deviate from their policy of prohibiting the construction of new traffic signals within 0.5 miles of an existing traffic signal.”

A police officer has been stationed at the intersection every weekday as children go to school and return home. “That was an unstaffed crossing prior to this, so that’s actually one of the improvements,” Lempert said. “We’re doing sidewalk improvement work and that should help the geometry.

The way it is set up right now, cars are coming down the hill on Terhune and will often stop in the crosswalk. The realignment should help with the safety.”

The town’s Department of Public Works is reviewing the report from the SPRAB subcommittee. “We will either find a suitable alternate site, in which case we can take the next steps to relocate, or they will turn out to have problems greater than the current site,” said Lempert. “In that case we’ll resume the work of trying to mitigate the aesthetic impact of the facility. Lighting has been significantly reduced.

The canopy would be moved, landscaping would be put in, and improvements would be finished on the wall that would screen the tank. That work has been suspended, because its not worth spending the money if we’re going to be moving it.”

economy, HIP is seeing a waiting to hear back from Housing Initiatives of Princeton Hosts Rent Party greater-than-ever-before de- them to see if they got the rest Supporters of Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) will gather on Saturday, October 19, 7 p.m. for HIP’s annual Rent Party, raising money for HIP’s transitional housing and emergency rental assistance program that helps families avoid eviction.

The party, which features food and music in an elegant Princeton home, has a 50th anniversary Woodstock theme. The HIP housing mission, though, is a serious one. Princeton University Sociology Professor Matthew Desmond, an HIP honorary board member and authority on housing insecurity, underscored the importance of HIP’s rental assistance initiative with his commentary on the Eviction Lab website (evictionlab.org). Desmond founded the Eviction Lab in 2017 with the conviction that stable, affordable housing can be an effective platform to promote economic mobility, health, and community vitality.

“Eviction causes a family to lose their home. They often are also expelled from their community and their children have to switch schools,” he said. “Families regularly lose their possessions, too, which are piled on the sidewalk or placed in storage, only to be reclaimed after paying a fee…. The evidence strongly indicates that eviction is not just a condition of poverty, it is a cause of it. HIP’s goal is to prevent that dreadful downward spiral by providing ways through direct rental assistance or transitional housing to thwart the eviction or state of homelessness.”

In spite of the national economic indicators of a strong

mand for its homeless prevention services. Since July 1, 2019, the start of HIP’s fiscal year, “HIP has provided $5,500 in emergency rental assistance to nine families, mostly in Trenton,” said HIP Chair Carol Golden. “We have outstanding promissory letters out for another $3,000 to four families. We are

of the funding they needed….

HIP has budgeted $20,000 for the whole fiscal year.

Therefore, it is obvious that more fundraising is needed to meet this demand.”

Reversing “Nutritional Ignorance” Is Message of Campbell’s Talk At a gathering in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation on Cherry Hill Road last Sunday, renowned biochemist and Cornell University professor emeritus T. Colin Campbell challenged a rapt audience to revisit the way they think about food, nutrition, and the health of the planet.

More than six decades of research have convinced Campbell that a plant-based diet can prevent, suspend, and cure a range of diseases, from cancer and heart ailments to lupus and type 2 diabetes. The co-author of The China Study and the inspiration for the documentary Forks Over Knives, Campbell’s appearance in Princeton was organized by his brother and sisterin-law, who are members of the Unitarian congregation, and his former student, Princeton resident Rachel Rivest.

“Almost everyone else in the field stands on his shoulders,” Rivest said the day after the event. “It was huge that he was here.”

The event was co-sponsored by several local organizations including Sustainable Princeton, Whole Earth, Labyrinth Books, and Suppers.

A new group, Princeton Eats Plants (under the umbrella of PlantPure Communities), will hold its first meeting on November 6 at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian church.

A youthful 85, Campbell told the audience that he

grew up on a dairy farm.

“I started on a track that was the opposite of what I now say, promoting the consumption of animal-based products,” he said. It was while teaching at Virginia Tech that he began work on a project to aid malnourished children in the Philippines that he began to think differently.

“I got the inclination that the children aged 4 and under who were most likely to get liver cancer seemed to be coming from farms that had the most animal-based protein,” he said. A further study from India revealed similar results. Campbell concluded that while cancer starts with a genetic mutation, it grows as a function of nutrition.

“It starts with a gene. But that’s not why it grows to be what it becomes,” he said.

“It’s a question of controlling that progression.”

Eating whole foods and getting protein and other nutrients from plants instead of animals is best done without supplements, Campbell said. A study of beta carotene derived from eating a plant-based diet showed a decrease in lung cancer by 19 percent. “But taking a supplement actually increased it,” he said.

“So when it’s in food, it’s different. Vitamin supplements don’t quite work the way you think they do.”

Campbell said cholesterol levels are best reduced

through diet rather than statin drugs, which have side effects. “The statin industry has taken advantage,” he said. “The data on it is not very promising.”

He also contends that at least half of the problems in our environment are due to the consumption of livestock, resulting in topsoil loss, global warming, reforestation, ocean reef destruction, and more. “If we don’t solve this, the whole discussion is meaningless,” he said.

The high cost of developing new chemotherapy drugs, and the use of pesticides and herbicides are equally damaging, Campbell said. But much of the information related to these issues has been ignored.

“We do not need protein from animals,” he said.

“Plants have all the protein we need. We have been captivated by the idea that we need a certain amount of protein from animals.

Wholistic nutrition is not taught in a single medical school in the United States.

Nutrition has been so exploited as a science.”

Campbell concluded his talk by quoting Hippocrates, who said, “We are what we eat,” 2,500 years ago. “He also said, ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.’

We don’t have another 2,500 years to relearn this lesson.

The No. 1 cause of death is nutritional ignorance.”

Hearing Loop System Now Available at PPL

A hearing loop assistive hearing system that enhances sound for those with telecoilenabled hearing aids has been installed at Princeton Public Library. The loops are available in the Community Room, Newsroom, second-floor Conference Room, and Technology Center. There are also portable loops to assist at the Lending Desk and telecoil (tcoil) listeners for those without hearing aids.

The system was a gift from Adelaide Zabriskie, a new Princeton resident who benefited from the technology when she lived in Boulder, Colorado, and wanted to help other hearing-impaired people more fully enjoy programs at the library.

Hearing loss affects nearly 10 percent of New Jersey resi-

dents and is not solely an issue faced by older Americans.

The hearing loop system is one of the most effective forms of assistive-hearing technology and will allow Princeton residents of all ages with hearing loss to have a fuller experience at many of the library’s public programs.

A t-coil is a small coil of copper that is found in all brands of hearing aids and cochlear implants in the United States and internationally. The installed hearing loop systems and desktop units that drive a wireless signal to the t-coil are the same in all countries, and all brands of loop amplifiers work with any t-coil. The key to this solution working for every “seat in the house,” as it does at the library, is a design and installation that conforms to the international standard for looping.

The “hearing loop” system, installed by Hopewell, New Jersey-based Audio Directions, is always available and requires no advance reservations or requests for loaner equipment. More information about the “hearing loop” can be found on the Audio Directions website at ad4h.com.

Trenton Circus Squad announces the appointment of four new members to its board of trustees: Adriana Abizadeh, Samantha Bobila, Calvin B. Thomas Jr., and Chris Wallace. The new trustees join continuing trustees Amy Mayer (chair) Kelly Ganges (vice-chair), Jon Erickson (treasurer), Juanita Johnson Brooks (secretary), James Burke, Anne Hoppenot, and Tim Stauning.

“All four of our newest board members bring talent, expertise, and vision to the table. They embody the vibe of Trenton Circus Squad and the pulse of the communities we serve. We are very fortunate to have them on our team as we continue to strengthen and evolve the program,” said Tom von Oehsen, executive director.

Abizadeh has been the executive director of Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) since 2016. LALDEF promotes the rights of all immigrants, with a focus on the Latin American community in the Mercer County area, facilitates access to health care, education, and legal representation; advocates for the integration of immigrants; and fosters intercultural communication to strengthen our communities.

Carole Jury a French artist in Princeton, NJ Both a photographer and an abstract painter, Carole Jury combines the two mediums of expression in her process, starting from photography and then transposing it to painting to create her series with poetic names such as ©️Christophe Pouget Dark sea, La Vie en Rose or Glimmer of Hope. Her signature resides in her broad textured strokes, her ability to capture shadows and lights and her eye for color with canvases from vibrant reds to calming blues, subtle nuances of whites to powerful blacks.

Working mainly in oils but also in acrylics, Carole Jury likes to play with materials to express herself: her paintings can be either made on canvas, wood or aluminum, incorporating leather or fabrics. Her modern approach and love for design has led her to become an artist resident of an interior designer of Princeton where her work is permanently displayed. She is represented by galleries based in New York, Las Vegas, New Hope. Her work can be found in private collections in Europe, USA and is exhibited in major art fairs as Scope, Aqua Art Miami, Art World Dubaï... www.carolejury.com IG @carole.jury • carole.jury@gmail.com

Proudly Presenting in Prestigious Princeton Ridge

P r i nce ton Un iver s it y’s Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI) is one of five organizations to receive a $5.2M collaborative National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to create pathways to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers for people who are or were incarcerated.

The STEM Opportunities in Prison Settings (STEMOPS) alliance has a vision of making educational programming for STEM careers and college study commonplace, accessible, and rigorous in United States prisons and reentry programs.

The alliance is the second phase of work begun under a pilot grant, “STEPS to STEM,” held by PTI under the leadership of principal investigator Jannette Carey, Princeton University chemistry professor.

Along with PTI, the federal grant has been awarded to Education Development Center, a global promoter of education, health, and economic opportunities; From Prison Cells to PhD; Operation Restoration, supporting women and girls impacted

by incarceration; and the Initiative for Race Research and Justice at Vanderbilt University.

Each par tner br ings a different expertise to the alliance, has experience working in diverse sociogeographic contexts, and participates actively in other networks that address systemic challenges facing incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people.

PTI Administrative Director Jill Stockwell and Jenny Greene, Princeton University astrophysical science professor and PTI academic director, both emphasized the importance of this collaborative initiative in helping prisoners and former prisoners make the move into the STEM workplace.

“We at PTI look forward to working with the STEMO P S A l l i a n c e to b u i l d pathways from the prison classroom to STEM careers across the United States,” said Greene.

“We’re thrilled to be part of t h i s g r a nt pro g r a m, which is led by people who were formerly incarcerated,” Stockwell added. “We

hope that STEM education will become commonplace in prisons.”

PTI is made up of volunteers from around Princeton University, mostly graduate students, but also post docs and staff members. They teach accredited college courses in New Jersey state prisons with Raritan Valley Communit y College and Rutgers University as part of the NJ-STEP consortium, and in the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in par tnership with Mercer County Community College.

There are currently about 150 active PTI volunteers who work in teams of two to four members, with math and science teachers teaching about 15 hours per week and humanities and social science teachers teaching six to eight hours per week during the 15-week semesters.

PTI was founded in 2005

by Gillian Knapp, now an emeritus professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University, and former postdoctoral fellow and 1998 Princeton graduate Mark Krumholz, and is now

offered through Princeton’s McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning.

Main areas of focus for STEM-OPS include STEM internships, including hands-on research opportunities at top-tier research universities for formerly incarcerated people ; the development of a national model for expanding vital STEM programming into existing prison education programs; career and educational readiness workshops for STEM careers; and development of STEM mentorship and professional networks.

“I’m a formerly incarcerated person with three felony convictions, sentenced to 10 years in prison,” said From Prison Cells to PhD Director and Founder Stanley Andrisse. “I was once told by a prosecuting attorney that I had no hope for change.

I am now an endocrinologist scientist and assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine and Howard University College of Medicine.

This prosecutor’s prophecy was a little off. It’s imperative that we offer second chances. We are missing out on talent.”

Construction to Begin On Paul Robeson House

Pr inceton Cou ncil has unanimously approved plans for the renovation of Paul Robeson’s birth home on Witherspoon Street. This decision was the culmination of a long process to transform the house into a permanent memorial to the Princeton native’s life contributions.

The review process involved oversight and scrutiny by the municipal staff, the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and the Princeton Historical Commission. In addition, comments and suggestions were obtained from neighborhood residents, Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church memb e r s, a n d t h e Rob e s o n House Board and Advisors.

“An enthusiastic group of community leaders who make up the Robeson House Board and Adv isors w ill lead the campaign to raise funds to complete the renovations,” said Ben Colbert, chair of the Robeson House Board. “The campaign will rely on the continued support from individuals, corporate, private, regulatory, and philanthropic organizations.”

The Paul Robeson House at the corner of Witherspoon and Green streets will serve as a gateway to t h e re ce nt ly de s ig nate d Witherspoon-Jackson Historic District. The expanded renovations have been carefully designed to reflect the architect ural st yle when the Robeson family was in residence in the 1880s.

The original building footprint will be retained and a replica clapboard siding will be used for the exterior.

The most significant changes to the present structure will be the reinstallation of the front porch and a redesigned rear entranceway.

The new interior plan is adapted to accommodate the outreach, social service, and cultural programing for the neighborhood residents and the community. The

street level entrance will allow for easy access to the Robeson Gallery that will d isplay Robeson memo rabilia and artifacts from the Witherspoon- Jackson community. The main floor will have meeting room and office space for Robeson House events and neighborhood gatherings.

The second floor, maintaining its historic residential use, will be designated for temporary lodging for v is itor s, re ce nt ar r iv a ls and those seeking affordable temporary housing in Princeton. The third floor attic, where extra sleeping space was offered for past boarders, will be retained “as is” to honor the many years that the house offered rooms for migrant workers and itinerant laborers. A small plaza in the rear is envisioned as a quiet rest area and gathering space for the tours of the historic neighborhood.

The building design and construction was developed by architect Kevin Wilkes, a Robeson Board member and managing partner of Pr inceton Design G uild.

Wilkes and his firm were recently named to the Big 50 2019 by Remodeling Magazine. They are the only firm in New Jersey selected for this honor.

Wilkes says of Robeson House, “We want to achieve a design presence and lasting construction quality that will honor this great American and be a tribute to a people and a community that has contributed much to Princeton.”

The Latin American Task Force will be offering free Citizenship Classes to prepare immigrants for the Naturalization Interview required as part of the process of becoming a United States Citizen. U.S. history and civics will be taught, and basic English necessary for the interview will be reviewed.

The classes will meet Wednesday evenings from 7 – 8:30 p.m. in the library, for six weeks in October and November. Registration will take place at the first session on October 16 in the Conference Room on the second floor of the library. In the last year, immigrants from Barbados, Colombia, Cuba, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Germany, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Trinidad and Venezuela participated in these classes. Many

The separation of powers as set up in the Constitution to provide a system of checks and balances, as well as the rule of law, will be discussed as part of the preparation for the test given by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. An Immigration Attorney will be visiting the classes to provide an overview of what to expect, as well as to answer questions.

While the classes are free, students will be expected to purchase a copy of the textbook to study the material discussed. The Citizenship Classes are co-sponsored by the Latin American Task Force and the Princeton Public Library. For more information, call (609) 924-9529 ext. 1220.

Although the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles has stated that they will soon offer REAL IDcompliant driver’s licenses, passports (both passport books and passport cards) are still a great form of ID and currently compliant with federal regulations.

Residents can apply for either at the Mercer County Clerk’s office in Trenton or the Mercer County Connection satellite office in Hamilton Township. Those who wish to travel on domestic flights — or who need access to federal buildings — can use a passport book or card as identification, regardless of whether their current driver’s license is REAL ID-compliant.

Passport books are good

for domestic flights. Routine passport service costs $110, with expedited service costing $170. For children under 16, routine service is $80, with expedited service costing $140.

Passport cards, which are also REAL ID-compliant, are valid for travel by land or sea only to Canada, Mexico, and many Caribbean nations. A passport can also be used for entrance into federal buildings and proof of U.S. Citizenship to present to a U.S. Embassy if your passport booklet is lost while abroad. Fees for service are $30 for adults and $15 for children under 16. Picture fees are $15 for adults and $10 for children and seniors (62 and older).

All passport services of the

fee. Payment must be in the form of a check or money order. In addition to offering passport processing every weekday at locations in Trenton and Hamilton, the office is holding a special passport day on October 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the West Windsor Municipal Building, located at 731 Clarksville Road, Conference Room A. Call (609) 989-6473 for appointment. Although every effort will be made to accept walk-ins, making an appointment is recommended.

New Jersey was previously one of only five U.S. states

not compliant with the REAL ID Act of 2005, which was signed into law as a response to calls to push for tighter security after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The announcement from the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC ) comes before the October 1, 2020 deadline for all states to fully upgrade their driver’s licenses to REAL ID-compliant ones.

New Jersey residents can now upgrade their driver’s licenses by appointment only at one of six MVC offices where appointments are held.

Stankiewicz Has Expertise, Commitment Indispensable to the School Board

To the Editor: We strongly endorse the re-election of Greg Stankiewicz to the Princeton Board of Education. We’ve known Greg for 30 and 15 years, respectively, and can attest to his integrity, his commitment to building social equity, his belief in consensus and coalition building, and his public policy expertise — not to mention his very likeable and levelheaded personality. During Greg’s first term, we saw these qualities at work, and we believe they are indispensable.

The board is facing the daunting challenge of managing a growing student population under strict fiscal constraints in a town with tremendous concern about steadily rising property taxes. Greg has the fiscal, planning, and policy experience — and the right temperament — to tackle the complexities of this job.

As part of Greg’s dedication to finding new revenue opportunities, he encouraged the district to work closely with statewide education organizations, to have a stronger voice in the State House. Such joint advocacy efforts helped produce a one-time increase in the state’s annual reimbursement for extraordinary special education costs, providing Princeton Public Schools with an additional $1.7 million this year. Greg is pursuing other state-level revenue measures, including supporting pending legislation calling for the state to fund charter schools directly, which would add $6.5 million to the district’s budget while keeping the charter school fiscally whole.

Greg believes our schools and municipality should work together. Toward that end, he helped implement a shared services study, to provide even better services in a more efficient manner.

As the School Board’s liaison to the Princeton Planning Board, Greg is in a perfect position to ensure that planning for the town’s and district’s growth is done in unison. We must not wait to act because, to paraphrase Lewis Carroll, if we don’t know where we’re going, any road will take us there. That’s why we approve of Greg’s vote in favor of the district hiring a highly reputable planning firm to engage our community, analyze the data, and provide options to school and town officials for managing Princeton’s inevitable population growth.

While we loudly applaud Greg’s fiscal and policy work, we give him a standing ovation for his fervent dedication to student wellness and inclusion. In response to learning about our high school students’ very high stress levels, he supported a later school start time, a block schedule

Sacks, Lambros Have Successful Track Record of Public Service

To the Editor: In one month, on November 5, we will have an important election in Princeton. Our two Democratic candidates for Princeton Council — Mia Sacks and Michelle Pirone Lambros — are thoughtful problem solvers who would bring distinct and complementary talents to the job. They share a commitment to Democratic values in Princeton, as evidenced by their focus on promoting affordability; maintaining a welcoming town that finds strength in our economic and cultural diversity; and elevating community engagement, transparency, and accountability in local government.

Many friends and neighbors tell me that they have chosen to live in Princeton for the same reasons my family moved here — to settle and raise our children in a community that offers an exceptional quality of life and top-quality public education. We realize, however, that while Princeton has great advantages, its success is not a given, and requires proactive planning, community engagement, and collaboration. That is why I am supporting Mia and Michelle. They have demonstrated a successful track record of public service in the community and are already deeply immersed in the issues they will face on Council. Mia serves on the Planning Board, and is a longtime member of the board of Sustainable Princeton and the Municipal Green Team. Michelle is on the Zoning Board, and works on maintaining Princeton’s commercial vitality with the Economic Development Committee and the Princeton Merchants Association. This is the work of Democratic governance, and I believe we should be looking for just such candidates who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do what it takes to improve our town.

Our town faces urgent challenges that need creative solutions. How do we best meet our state affordable housing mandates and maintain affordability more generally for mid-

dle-income families? How can we strengthen the economic vitality of Princeton’s historic downtown center? How do we grow our commercial tax base and negotiate productively with our tax-exempt institutions? We need smart, dedicated leadership that can bring our community together and take bold action to address these and other challenges. I signed on to chair their campaign this year because I believe Mia and Michelle will be these leaders, and I urge you to join me in voting for them, and their Democratic colleagues in Column A, on November 5.

JEFFREY OAKMAN Chair, Princeton Democratic Campaign, 2019

Task Force on Permit Parking Is Holding Open Forum Oct. 16

To the Editor: The Princeton task force on permit parking will be holding an open forum to introduce and invite feedback on its efforts to develop a comprehensive permit parking plan for neighborhoods within walking distance of the central business district and high school, including the Tree Streets, Witherspoon-Jackson, Jugtown, and portions of the Western Section. All Princeton residents, business owners, and employees are invited to the forum, which will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 16 at 400 Witherspoon Road.

Participants will hear short presentations and then break into rotating smaller groups where they can raise questions and offer ideas to members of the task force.

The parking task force, led by Council member Leticia Fraga, is comprised of Princeton residents and business owners and was commissioned early in the summer. It has been developing some core principles upon which a new permit parking plan can be based and will present its recommendations to Council early in the new year. The goal is to promote a fairer, more efficient system that can accommodate the competing demands of residents, guests, downtown employees, and high school students. An expanded permitting system can help normalize on-street overnight and daytime parking regulations for residents, increasing parking capacity while recognizing the challenges and priorities of individual neighborhoods. The task force would also like to develop a plan for optimizing the use of underutilized pay parking spots and maximizing off-street parking options. Formalizing a visitor permit program to accommodate guests is also on the agenda.

The task force is also collecting feedback from residents and businesses via online surveys that can be found on the princeotnnj.gov website. Please fill out the relevant survey and come out next week to hear about the task force’s work and to make your priorities known.

at the high school, and reduced homework loads. Going forward, he wants the district to work with students to create the new, state mandated mental health component to the K-12 curriculum.

We know from personal experience that Greg believes in the right of every child to equal educational opportunity, regardless of race, socio-economic background, or ability. To help all students thrive, he strongly supported the equity audit and encouraged Princeton Public Schools to replace punitive discipline, which disproportionately and negatively impacts low income students and students of color, with restorative approaches.

It’s vital to keep Greg on the Board. Please join us in supporting Greg on November 5.

Supporting Dafna Kendal For Board of Education

To the Editor: I am writing to express my support for Dafna Kendal’s candidacy for the Princeton Board of Education. Dafna and I served on the Board together for two years, and when I look back at her service on the Board, I am struck by two characteristics of her service: students and finances.

Dafna was always focused on the students and always considered their needs first by asking the right questions — will this spending be the best use of the money for the students, how does this purchase help the students? She is concerned for the students who need more — the students with special education needs, the students who don’t have the financial means to take part in the activities our schools offer, the students who don’t have the support at home to keep up in school. Dafna put her money and energy where her heart was by mentoring students in need and helping to found a nonprofit organization to support students in our community needing financial support.

Even though students are her main focus and passion, she also always considered the Princeton taxpayers and the challenges we face with our ever increasing property taxes. When she was the chairperson of the Facilities Committee, she ensured that any referendum question presented to the Princeton community would provide significant capacity expansions at PHS and JW to put off the need for a future referendum. And the question that passed in December 2018 does that by providing new classrooms at PHS and JW, expanded guidance space (PHS), expanded nursing space (JW), and additional indoor exercise space (PHS).

The referendum question that was approved by the Board 10-0 and passed by the community demonstrates that she has the judgment and persistence to ensure that our students’ needs are met and that Princeton taxpayers will not spend unnecessarily.

We need to elect people like Dafna whose heart is in the right place and whose hand is careful in opening up the wallet when it comes time to spend. Please join me in voting for Dafna Kendal on November 5.

Supporting Bierman for Council, An Activist Who Thrives on Challenges

To the Editor: I am writing to endorse Adam Bierman for a seat on the Princeton Town Council.

For the past few years, I have worked with Adam on numerous film and TV projects around Princeton. While filming him on the campaign trail, it is easy to see his intelligent and engaging interpersonal skills at work. He talks with, and really listens to, his fellow Princetonians. He is an activist, and a creative problem solver who thrives on challenges, displays grace under pressure, and can get the job done. As a member of the Princeton Town Council he will bring truth and transparency, and work diligently to provide solutions to the many important issues that confront Princeton now: our schools, safety in the community and working towards more affordable taxes.

Please consider voting for Adam Bierman for Princeton Council on November 5.

Princeton Period Project Providing Information at McCaffrey’s Oct. 19

To the Editor: It has been just a year since the Princeton Period Project started its work to help provide an affordable, reliable supply of feminine hygiene products, addressing what’s called “period poverty” that exists in the Princeton area and around the world. We’ve distributed more than 60,000 period products in the Princeton public schools, at our parent organization Princeton Cornerstone Community Kitchen, and at agencies such as Womanspace, Arm in Arm, HomeFront, LifeTies, Rescue Mission of Trenton, and more.

The items we distribute come from collections done by local businesses and employers such as Princeton University Press, Gloria Nilson & Co., YogaStream, Princeton Alumni Corps, University League Nursery School, Gratitude Yoga, FitBody Boot Camp, and others, as well as from “period parties” hosted by individuals for their friends and neighbors.

Thanks once again to the support from McCaffrey’s, we’ll be providing information and accepting product and cash donations at their Princeton market on Saturday October 19 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. We’ll also be participating in the first National Period Day (also October 19), organized around the country by Period.org (www.period.org). The Princeton chapter of Period.org will be holding a rally from 3-4 pm on Hinds Plaza on Witherspoon Street.

Please join with us on October 19 so we can do even more to overcome period poverty and improve the lives of girls and women, enabling them to fully participate in school, work, and other activities.

Susan Kanter’s Track Record Shows Improving of Our Schools

To the Editor: We are writing to encourage Princeton residents to vote for Susan Kanter as one of their three school board choices on November 5. In Susan’s five years as PHS PTO copresident, five years as JWMS treasurer, and the treasurer of the 101 Fund, and Princeton Children’s Fund, Susan consistently has put students first, used evidence to guide her decisions, built strong relationships with school leadership and stakeholders, and repeatedly found intelligent, actionable solutions. Her 23 years of experience as VP of Operations of a $250 million division of a multi-national company honed her ability to manage a significant budget in a fiscally responsible manner.

Just a few examples of Susan’s contributions in our district: when the town was debating the school referendum budget, Susan helped residents become more informed about the benefits of the different options with respect to Princeton High School. She led over a dozen tours of PHS so 500 community members could better visualize the benefits each budget scenario would provide to our students. When the district committed to tackle high school students’ unhealthy stress levels and sleep deprivation, Susan was one of two parents on the committee which weighed the options and implemented a later start time and modified block scheduling. Susan has been very active in ensuring that our schools create a culture of community and connectivity by supporting initiatives such as a new family welcome committee, evening football games under the lights, and sustainability initiatives.

In these instances and many others, Susan has demonstrated her calm, intelligence, collaborative work style and commitment, which consistently led to results for our students. For these reasons, we strongly recommend a vote for her.

Sustainable Princeton Expresses Thanks To Supporters of Climate Action Plan

To the Editor: We want to thank the approximately 4,600 community members who contributed to the creation of Princeton’s Climate Action Plan. We greatly value the input you provided through in-person discussions and online comments, as well as the participation in educational events such as Princeton’s GreenFest. Thank you!

In particular, we want to express our gratitude to the more than 50 community members who served on the Steering Committee and five Working Groups that vetted and finalized the plan’s 84 specific strategies. These individuals gave detailed thought, and careful consideration, to the review of each strategy to ensure the plan articulates Princeton’s best path forward.

On July 22, 2019, the Municipality of Princeton’s Council endorsed Princeton’s Climate Action Plan. This was an essential step in Princeton’s admirable journey to lead the change and serve as a model town, committed to sustainability. We are grateful for this demonstration of leadership.

The Climate Action Plan provides a roadmap to reduce Princeton’s contribution to climate change and to prepare for its effects. It establishes an ambitious goal of reducing 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (based on 2010 emissions). Achieving this goal will take the collective effort of the entire community working together to ensure Princeton remains a prosperous and vibrant town for future generations.

To date, 16 Climate Action Plan strategies have been initiated, including ones that focus on better preparing our most vulnerable community members from the impacts of climate change and sourcing more of our energy from renewable resources. A summary of the plan appears in this week’s Town Topics. We look forward to continuing this progress with you.

Prison Correspondence Discussed at Labyrinth

Dorothea, Johannes, and Helmuth Caspar von Moltke will be at Labyrinth Books on Friday, October 11 at 6 p.m. to discuss Last Letters: The Prison Correspondence 1944-45 between Helmuth and Freya von Moltke (NYRB Classics 2019). Also present to answer any questions related to the translation will be the volume’s translator, Shelley Frisch.

Tegel prison, Berlin, in the fall of 1944. Helmuth James von Moltke is awaiting trial for his leading role in the Kreisau Circle, one of the most important German resistance groups against the Nazis. The prison chaplain at Tegel is Harald Poelchau, a friend and coconspirator of Helmuth and his wife, Freya. From Helmuth’s arrival at Tegel in late September 1944 until the day of his execution by the Nazis on January 23, 1945, Poelchau would carry Helmuth’s and Freya’s letters in and out of prison daily, risking his own life. Freya would safeguard these letters for the rest of her long life, much of it spent in Norwich, Vermont, from 1960 until her death in 2010.

According to Kirkus Reviews, Last Letters “and the explanatory footnotes reveal a deep love bolstered by a building religious devotion … A compelling, profoundly emotional Nazi-era story that also serves as a reminder of the power of letter writing.”

Dorothea von Moltke received her PhD in German literature from Columbia University and is one of the owners of Labyrinth Books in Princeton.

Johannes von Moltke is professor of German studies and film, television, and media at the University of Michigan, and president of the German Studies Association. He has published widely in English and German on German film, theory, and cultural history.

Helmuth Caspar von Moltke, older son of Helmuth and Freya, is retired and serves on a number of boards in Europe including charitable boards supporting the present day Kreisau/Krzyzowa. Shelley

“Song of Songs” Subject Of Labyrinth Conversation

Leora Batnitzky and Elaine Pagels will discuss The Song of Songs: A Biography with author Ilana Pardes at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, October 10 at 6 p.m. This event is cosponsored by Princeton’s Humanities Council.

Robert Alter, author of The Art of Bible Translation, comments : “This luminous study is a rare combination of finely perceptive literar y readings with a sweeping historical overview. Perhaps the chief of the gifts it offers is the demonstration, by means of multiple examples throughout the book, that the distinction between literal and allegorical is intrinsically ambiguous. In lucid and lively prose, Ilana Pardes shows the remarkable life of a great work through the ages.”

Ilana Pardes is the Katharine Cornell Professor of Comparative Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the author of Countertraditions in the Bible, The Biography of Ancient Israel, Melville’s Bibles, and Agnon’s Moonstruck Lovers. Chair of the Department of Religion at Princeton, Leora Batnitzky is the author of Idolatry and Representation: The Philosophy of Franz Rosenzweig Reconsidered, of Leo Strauss and Emmanuel Levinas: Philosophy and the Politics of Revelation, and of How Judaism Became a Religion: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought.

Elaine Pagels is a professor of religion at Princeton University and the author of The Gnostic Gospels, Beyond Belief, and Revelations, among ot her inf luent ial works. Her most recent book is the memoir Why Religion?

Paul Starr Appearing At Labyrinth Oct. 15

Paul Starr will discussing his book, Entrenchment: Wealth, Power, and the Constitution of Democratic Societies at Labyrinth on Tuesday, October 15 at 6 p.m.

According to Robert B. Reich, author of The Common Good and Saving Capitalism, “With the depth of historic and political insight he is celebrated for, Paul Starr gives us a new and crucial lens through which to view what is happening in America — the entrenchment of great wealth through political power strong enough to lock in that wealth, and, hence, perpetuate its power. Starr’s great achievement is to view the struggle of our era not in narrow partisan terms, but through the framework of increasingly concentrated power, and to reveal the multiple ways it is changing the very definition of American society. A tour de force.”

Paul Starr is professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University, cofounder and founding coeditor of The American Prospect magazine and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction and the Bancroft Prize in American History. He has published seven previous books including The Social Transformation of American Medicine, The Creation of the Media, Freedom’s Power, and Remedy and Reaction.

RECORD REVIEW

Singing Along With Ray Davies and the Kinks on John Lennon’s Birthday

T

he first and only time I heard John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” was on the car radio the night he was killed and the news was still raw. I had to turn the radio off after he sang the line, “Before you cross the street, take my hand: life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” What happened to me, what caught me by the throat, was realizing that at the same time John had been seeing a son through his first five years of life, so had I. Fifteen years later, Ben is standing beside me at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island singing “Autumn Almanac” along with the composer, Ray Davies, and three thousand Kinks fans of all ages, including numerous other fathers and sons, mothers, sisters, and brothers. The entry in my journal for August 1, 1995, begins,”Tonight was like a fantasy come true, almost as good as seeing the Beatles playing live, up close.”

Actually, it was better, because only in your wildest dreams are you going to see and hear John, Paul, George, and Ringo up close, unless of course you were on the rooftop of 3 Saville Row when the Beatles gave what would be their last public performance, January 30, 1969. And even that wouldn’t equal the one-on-one excitement of sharing a song you love with the man who wrote it.

Put Some Toast On Time to go slumming, from 3 Saville Row to a two-room apartment on “Dead End Street,” where there’s a crack in the ceiling, the kitchen sink’s leaking, no money’s coming in, the rent collector’s knocking on the door, and instead of a Sunday roast we’re dining on bread and honey. While “kitchen sink” may suggest “the Angry Young Men” of the British sixties, Ray’s having the time of his life. Sure, people are dying on Dead End Street, we’re all gonna die on Dead End Street. Not to worry: keep singing and keep moving to the beat of this rock march sung by someone who savors all the melodic multisyllabic sweetness of cee-ee-eeling and leak-ee-ee-ing, does the same with money and honey, and then, as you’re marching along, brings you, casually, intimately, into a “cold and frosty morning” in the bedsit heart of his country: “Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning/And my feet are nearly frozen/Boil the tea and put some toast on.”

A man of many voices, with a persona for each, Muswell Hill’s toast-andtea winter-morning yawner becomes a cheerful town crier marching at the head of the parade, telling the world “People are dying on Dead End Street” in a clipped, proto-reggae-rapper style as the other Kinks chant “Dead end!”

Marching off into the distance with you following along, the song is a call-andresponse hand-clapping trombonedriven celebration of the street that

asks the questions, “What are we living for?” and “How’s it feel?” The answers are “rock’n’roll” and “it feels great.”

According to the dead pan wikipedia entry for “Dead End Street”: “The song, like many others by the group, deals with the poverty and misery found in the lower classes.”

Hymning Autumn That summer night at Westbury proved to be the last time the Kinks performed in America, a possibility suggested when Ray began the show all by himself on a stool with an acoustic guitar singing his ode to autumn.

Now I’m asking myself, “Were my son and I actually standing in a public place with a congregation of the faithful singing ‘La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh my poor rheumatic back,Yes, yes, yes, it’s my autumn almanac’?” Yes, yes, yes, it was the church of rock, and we were singing a hymn to the land of hope and glory, kitchen sinks and rheumatic backs. This is what Ray does.

This is why I call Sir Raymond Douglas Davies by his first name (knighthood was inevitable). It’s his feeling for the human comedy, the human condition, that makes songs like “Autumn Almanac” at once personal and universal, witty and warm, joyous and wistful.

In a November 1970 Rolling Stone interview, he says, “After I wrote it, for a whole month I was thinking about it.

I wasted a lot of time, really, because I was sweeping up dead leaves and putting them in the sack. I’m susceptible to that sort of thing .... What I do is to do something very personal, and then suddenly I look at it, up in the air, I look at it. I blow it up and look at it and then I come down again. A better man.”

What he finds when he comes down is a jaunty, sing-along tune that matches the rhythm of sweeping “leaves of a musty-colored yellow” into his sack after a catchy opening line, “From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,” possibly an unintended echo of the “hedge-crickets” in the last stanza of “To Autumn” by John Keats, whose father worked in a London livery stable. As the Kinks sing of “Friday evenings,” when “people get together,” it’s an open community for anyone of any class “hiding from the weather” when even “tea and toasted

buttered currant buns/Can’t compensate for lack of sun.” If you’re singing along, the emotional essence of the song is in the lines, “This is my street, and I’m never gonna leave it,” and “all the people I meet seem to come from my street.”

On that night in August 1995, everyone came from his street.

Sir Ray’s U.K. Although “Dead End Street” and “Autumn Almanac” never appear on a Kinks album (unless you count anthologies like Kink Kronikles), the two great songs epitomizing Ray’s celebration of kitchen sinks and English autumns are “Victoria” and “Shangri-La,” the first tracks on the A and B sides of Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire), released 50 years ago tomorrow and hailed byRolling Stone’s Greil Marcus, among others, as “the best British album of 1969.”

Sir Ray’s U.K. was there long before the Common Market and the European Union, Brexit and Boris Johnson.

The scope of his vision of “this realm, this England,” from the the commoner who says “Victoria was my queen” to the “the little man” who lives “with a mortgage hanging over his head” inspired the massive choirs and full orchestras that have accompanied Davies singing “Victoria” and “Shangri-La” in venues like Royal Festival Hall and Glastonbury. There’s really no “decline and fall” when the Kinks perform “Victoria.” It’s a straight-ahead, energized, relentlessly upbeat vision of the “land of my Victoria,” rising to the rousing, irrepressible summit of the song (with Ray’s brother Dave yelling gleefully in the background), “Canada to India, Australia to Cornwall, Singapore to Hong Kong, from the west to the east, from the rich to the poor, Victoria loved them all.”

In the incomparable “Shangri-La,” which puts England, then and now, on the head of the same pin William Faulkner put the Lord’s Prayer on, “All the houses on the street have got a name/’Cause all the houses in the street they look the same.” I just listened to the song (too small a word for it) on YouTube, and I’m as moved by it (even “incomparable” may be too small a word) as I was when I first heard it

50 years ago. The song’s mixture of lyrical compassion and ironic detachment has been mistaken for disdain, an idea Ray almost seems to encourage in the 1970 interview when he’s asked what he thinks of the people he sings about in “Shangri-La”: “I’m not laughing at those people in the song at all.

They’re brainwashed into that, they brainwash themselves....Their minds are like that; they’re happy, really. It becomes a religion to them. The glory of being boring. It’s a glory. He shows you his stamp collection. It’s a sense of greatness he’s got around him that you can’t penetrate because you feel you might upset him.” Listen to the song and you’re in touch with “the sense of greatness” the composer himself is at a loss to express as he goes on to say the chorus is “a bit of a chant...

It’s a religious thing. You accept it as your religion because you can’t have anything else.”

The story of “Shangri-La” is what happens to the song after the heavy, seemingly brutal middle eight, with drummer Mick Avory driving home every statement: “The gas bills and the water rates, and payments on the car/ Too scared to think about how insecure you are/Life ain’t so happy in your little Shangri-La.” But then the song shifts from tough love to “Shangri-Lala-la-la-la-la-la,” the pressure’s off, and a kinder, gentler, caring singer tells the little man to put on his slippers and sit by the fire: “You’ve reached your top and you just can’t get any higher.”

Then the devastating line, sung in a passion of compassion: “You’re in your place and you know where you are, in your Shangri-La.” John Lennon (1940-1980) oday being John Lennon’s birthday, I’ve been listening to “Working Class Hero” with “Shangri-La” fresh in mind. Both songs, as various YouTube bloggers say, “couldn’t be more relevant today.” Ray has many voices at his command while John has the voice that gave the Beatles their edge, as incomparable a singer as “Shangri-La” is a song. It’s a voice that can take you anywhere he wants to go, and in this quietly searing song he goes where Ray goes and farther. There are definite echoes of the fate of the “little man” in John’s lines: “As soon as you’re born they make you feel small”; “they hurt you at home and they hit you at school”; “when they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years, then they expect you to pick a career, when you can’t really function you’re so full of fear”; they keep you doped with religion and sex and TV” and “you think you’re so clever and classless and free.” Then the last line, which makes me think of the line in “Beautiful Boy” that I found so hard to listen to: “If you want to be a hero, well just follow me.”

“Gutenberg & After” Exhibit at PU Library

“PLATE TO PLATELET X”: The works of painter Mia Brownell, seen here, and photographer Martin Kruck are featured in “Skeptical Realism,” on view at the Hunterdon Art Museum through January 5. built for zoos, urban parkPainter and Photographer Explore “Skeptical Realism” land, and other urban public

A painter and a photographer who manipulate artistic traditions to explore reality through a skeptical lens are featured in a new exhibition at the Hunterdon Art Museum.

“Skeptical Realism,” running through Januar y 5, spotlights the paintings of Mia Brownell and the photography of Martin Kruck.

The show’s title is derived from philosophical texts debating the truth and falsehood of things. The artwork of Brownell and Kruck are both visual meditations on perceptions of the artificial and real. Using still life ( Brownell) and landscape (Kruck) these artists are reflecting on the current skepticism that has emerged in our political climate and culture by creating altered and ambiguous spaces.

Viewers can discern examples of this skepticism throughout the exhibition.

For instance, Kruck’s Habitorium series investigates the traditions of the romantic landscape using a 19thcentury printing technique called photogravure. Kruck notes that his work questions the truth of habitat and nature by combining images of natural and urban landscape elements with habitats

greenspaces, and compresses them into compartmentalized environments.

Brownell’s series Plate to Platelet simultaneously draws on scientific images of platelets (tiny blood cells shaped like plates) and the history of the painted food still life. She said she explores the realism of eating by recognizing the entanglement between the consumerist idealization of food with its biological engineering and the molecular strains that then interact with our bodies. The space she paints attempts to capture this paradoxical perspective, one that is equally rational and fantastical, material and in constant flux. She encourages viewers to consider this question: If we are what we eat, what are we becoming?

Brow nell, who teaches painting and drawing in New Haven at Southern Connecticut State University, has had solo exhibitions in several major American cities including New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. Her paintings have been featured in more than 130 group exhibitions worldwide, and can be found in several private, corporate, and public art collections.

Princeton University Library’s new exhibition explores the transformation of text production and distribution across Europe during a revolutionary 20-year period, featuring the Gutenberg Bible and an unprecedented selection of early printed books held by Princeton’s Scheide Library, as well as loans from nine leading libraries in the United Kingdom and North America.

Scheide Librarian Paul Needham describes “Gutenberg & After: Europe’s First Printers 1450-1470,” as “the greatest exhibition of earliest European printing ... that’s ever been mounted anywhere in the world at any time.”

The exhibition is on display through December 15 in the Ellen and Leonard Milberg Gallery, located in the Firestone Library lobby.

Visitors to the gallery will walk through the chronological story of early printed book production in Mainz, from the invention of typography and the proliferation of text production across Europe, to first editions of volumes still read today, such as Dante and Virgil. The exhibition showcases 62 items, including Princeton University’s Gutenberg Bible of 1455 and 1457 Mainz Psalter, as well as incredibly rare scraps and fragments that reflect broader aspects of early printing.

The majority of the selection belongs to Princeton University through a spectacular bequest by William H. Scheide (1914–2014, Princeton 1936), the largest gift in the University’s history valued at nearly $300 million. The exhibition has been immeasurably widened and enriched through loans from England, including treasures of early printing that have never before been seen in America, as well as loans from American libraries that have never before gone beyond their walls.

Eric White, Princeton University Library’s curator of rare books, says the exhibition is “a unique opportunity for people to come to Princeton and learn about an essential aspect of European and world history ... and to see an unprecedented selection of books.”

The exhibition is free and open to the public, daily from noon to 6 p.m. The selection may be viewed online at https://dpul.princeton.edu.

Gourgaud Gallery Presents “Suburban Artist Guild”

The Gourgaud Gallery, 23 North Main Street, Cranbury, presents “Suburban Artist Guild,” on view through October 25.

The Suburban Artist Guild (“SAG”) is an informal organization that provides a supportive environment for artists, creating two-dimensional work, in the central New Jersey area. Founded in 1963, it currently focuses on providing artists a forum to exchange artistic ideas; grow in their knowledge of technical, theoretical, and historical aspects of art; and to foster an appreciation of the arts by, and for, the general public.

SAG members exhibit expertise in watercolor, oils, pen/ink and acrylic painting, color pencil, graphite, pastel, and charcoal drawing. Many member artists belong to professional artist organizations.

SAG holds meetings on the second Friday of each month (unless there’s a holiday, then a meeting is the week before or after), from 2 to 4 p.m. at the East Brunswick Public Library in Meeting Room 3.

The meetings include miniworkshops and/or demos of a variety of artist techniques, all presented by experienced artists from around the state.

SAG also organizes local group exhibits, as well as individual exhibits at a local restaurant.

The artwork is for sale, with 20 percent of each sale going to support the Cranbury Arts Council and its programs. Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council is accepted as payment. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays October 6 and October 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information, visit www.cranburyartscouncil.org.

11 through Monday, October 14 at Woolsey Park in Titusville.

For the fifth year, visitors can view massive 150+ pound pumpkin sculptures carved by some of the area’s best local artists.

Courtyard fun includes a hay bale playground, pumpkins for sale at the pumpkin patch, live music, fire pits with s’more kits, a paint-a-pumpkin craft tent, and more.

Special events throughout the weekend include evening storytelling around fire pits, Saturday dance and vocal performances by The Pennington Studio, and Kids Day on Columbus Day, when kids enjoy discounted tickets and live entertainment including music by the students of the School of Rock.

New this year, artists will show and sell their ar twork undercover in the Art Walk. For more information, hours, and the full schedule, visit hvartscouncil.org.

“Your Inner Space” Joint Exhibit at ACP

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) presents “Your Inner Space,” a joint exhibit featuring paintings by Ifat Shatzky and sculptures by Mira DeMartino, on view in the Taplin Gallery October 12 through November 16.

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 12 from 3 to 5 p.m.

Their works, created in completely different mediums, evoke similar reactions of self-reflection on deep, universal emotions. Whether it's Shatzky's landscapes or DeMartino's human figures, they all relate to “inner space.”

Working in different dimensions, the two artists both choose to leave their pieces raw, unfinished, and organic. They feel that precise definition of a form

leaves the viewer passive.

There is an inner space of interpretation and finishing the piece by the viewer, who experiences it exactly the way he or she needs to connect with the message.

DeMartino has a master’s degree in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in G dansk, Poland, and an MBA from University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. She creates sculptures with her own AlumixAr t™ Mixed Media technique, which consists mostly of aluminum. Her artwork can be found in private collections in Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Singapore, and the United States.

Born and trained in Israel, Shatzky reached her maturity as an artist after moving to the United States in 1998. Her medium of choice is painting with oil on gessoed wood panels.

Sometimes she incorporates different media and collage techniques in her artwork, which may include wax, wire, oil pastel, charcoal, ink, and acrylic crayons. Her art is in many private collections in the United States and around the world.

“I have had the pleasure of working with both artists in past shows and events here at the ACP, and I am really looking forward to the opportunity again,” says Maria Evans, ACP artistic director.

“Ifat and Mira are so talented and professional and the fact that they live here in our community is a real treasure. This show will be a highlight of our fall season here at the Robeson Center and one not to be missed.”

The Arts Council of Princeton is located in the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street. For more information, visit www. artscouncilofprinceton.org or call (609) 924-8777.

“ARRANGING AN OUTDOOR BANQUET”: This coffin box panel from the Liao dynasty, 10th–early 11th century, is part of “The Eternal Feast: Banqueting in Chinese Art from the 10th to the 14th Century,” on view October 19 through February 16, 2020 at the Princeton University Art Museum. The exhibit features more than 50 objects from the Liao, Song, and Yuan dynasties of China.

“The Eternal Feast” At PU Art Museum

The feast has existed at the core of culture in China for thousands of years and remains a vital part of life in East Asia today. As an important social and ritual activity, feasts commemorated major life events, served as political theater, and satisfied religious obligations.

“The Eternal Feast: Banqueting in Chinese Art from the 10th to the 14th Century” traces the art of the feast through more than 50 objects from three dynasties – the Liao, Song, and Yuan.

Focusing on a rare group of surviving paintings from the period — along with ceramic, lacquer, metal, and stone objects as well as textiles — the exhibition reveals the singular influence China’s culture of feasting had on the formation of the artistic traditions of China.

The exhibition will be on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from October 19 through February 16, 2020. It is curated by Zoe Kwok, assistant curator of Asian art at the Museum. “ T h i s fas c i n at i n g a n d

subtle exhibition, based on years of scholarly research and benefiting from one of the most important collections of Chinese painting outside of Asia, here at Princeton, speaks once again to our commitment to examining the art of the past in a new light,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher– David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director.

In ancient China, feasts intended to nourish and celebrate the spirits of the deceased were a fundamental part of funerary practices.

From the 10th to the 14th century, art related to the feast began to survive in greater quantities outside of tombs. At the same time, the tradition of building grand underground tombs stocked with the paraphernalia of feasting began to wane. Presenting a selection of paintings of feasts and banquets from these four centuries alongside an array of feastrelated objects, “The Eternal Feast” demonstrates the important role feasts and banquets played in shaping funerary rituals, social status, gender identity, and contemporary politics in China.

Feasts were also crucial opp or t u n it i e s for ot h e r forms of performance art, including music, dance and theatrical productions. “The Eternal Feast” presents objects related to these features of the feast along with figural sculpture depicting different kinds of feast participants and performers.

Together, these works offer a window into the feast as a site for the creation and consumption of art in China.

The exhibition is divided into three sections — “Dining in the Afterlife,” “Ladies Banqueting in Seclusion,” and “Gentlemen Feasting as Scholarly Business” — reflecting the different social, political, and religious roles played by feasts from the 10th to the 14th century, with each centered on a key painting or set of paintings.

P ro g r a m s ac comp a ny ing the exhibition include a panel discussion on Friday, October 19, 2 to 4 p.m. in Princeton’s McCormick Hall.

The interdisciplinary panel, entitled “In Good Taste : Food and Feasting in Chinese Art,” will bring a range of international scholars and perspectives to the table.

On Saturday, November 2, an opening lecture by the curator in McCosh Hall at 5 p.m., followed by a reception at the Museum at 6 p.m., is also planned.

The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free.

Delicious Treats from Milk & Cookies Please the Palates of Princetonians

T

he word is out. Milk & Cookies is a happy place!

Located at 14 Chambers Street, this delightful cookie shop offers an array of delicious cookies, brownies, and other treats guaranteed to tempt the taste buds.

IT’S NEW To Us

Owner and baker Lauren Ariev Gellman is busy every day baking 200 to 300 cookies, all with fresh ingredients, and often incorporating her own special recipes.

“I’m a lw ays cre at i ng new cookies and flavors,” she reports. “Many of the cookies have crisp edges and soft middles. It’s personal taste as to the preferred texture — whether people like soft or crispy cookies. Tastes can be generational too.”

Special Treat Baking for the family began Gellman’s journey into her own cookie shop, and she also recalls happy childhood days enjoying her grandmother’s fresh baked cookies as a special treat.

“My grandmother baked, and I liked eating her cookies. Then, when I had my own children, I started baking for them, and I found that I really enjoyed it.”

After her daughters Rose and Audrey headed to college, Gellman decided to branch out and share her baking professionally.

“I wanted to keep busy, and I decided to open a cookie delivery service in the Princeton area, especially catering for parties,” she recalls.

After a year and a half of a successful operation, t h e bu s i n e s s’ g row i n g popularity prompted her to launch her own “brick and mortar” establishment in 2018.

Opening to rave reviews, Milk & Cookies has established a singular niche on the Princeton shopping scene. Customers stop by at all hours of the day — and night (it’s open until 11 p.m.) — to satisfy their cookie cravings.

30 Different Kinds “We are so encouraged, and I enjoy it so much,” says Gellman. “I like talking to the people who come in — we have so many regulars already. And I enjoy the baking and creating new cookies. On any given day, there are more than 30 different kinds.”

A l l ag e s a r e f i n d i n g their way to the charming shop on Chambers Street. Kids arrive after school, and adults stop in throughout the day and evening. Everyone has a favorite, reports Gellman.

“Chocolate Chip is No. 1, and London Foggies, baked with Earl Grey tea,

with lemon glaze on top, are very popular too.

“Also, Coffee Toffee and Snickerdoodles have a big following. We also have an oatmeal raisin, Breakfast Oat m e a l R ais i n, made with applesauce and no sugar.”

Other favorites are Ginger Snaps and Ginger Chunks, and such intriguing choices as M & M, Mexican Hot Chocolate, Pepper mint Bark, Confetti, and Coffee Chip — among many other cookies.

A nd don’t forget t he mouthwatering brownies!

Totally irresistible to many customers, they are big sellers every day.

In addition, customers will find ice cream sandw iche s, cook ie sha ke s (milk shakes blended with cookies and ice cream), large cookie sheet cakes, and, most recently, homemade granola.

Lunch Favorites O f cou r s e, w hat are co ok ie s w it hout m i l k?

Whatever suits your taste — 1 percent, whole milk, skim, chocolate, almond, and soy milk are all available. Also, coffee, latte, cocoa, tea (hot or iced), lemonade, and bottled water are on the menu.

A new addition to the store is a selection of lunch favorites, such as paninis and soups. A grilled cheese sandwich paired with tomato bisque is a guaranteed “feel good” lunchtime tradition.

JOIN JOIN JOIN the FUN!

Cater ing has become an important part of the business, points out Gellman, and cookie trays are available in assorted sizes (and flavors) for a variety of events. As she says, “Our party trays make appearances at meetings and symposiums throughout town, including at Princeton University, and at parties, plays, dances, performances, recitals, etc.”

T he cookies are also popular for kids to take to school, she explains, adding, “Our cookies have no nuts, so there are no worries about taking them to school or other events.

Also, we have bir thday parties at the shop for as many as 10 children, and we offer a personalized cookie cake, candles, even pizza, if they want it.”

Best Part Delivery is available in the Princeton area, and, as Gellman notes, “We deliver to students studying for finals, to couples curled up in front of the TV, and to hungry families all over. T he best part is that we are open late. The next time a craving strikes you, you can rest assured that we’ll be standing by with cookies and milk!”

Cookies are in two sizes: individual and mini.

Individual (really a large cook ie ) is available at $2, and minis (a generous size) are $2 for three cookies. One dozen cookies are $20, a tray of 36 is $60, and a tray of 90 minis is $50. Sandwiches are $ 6.95 and up, and milk is $2.

COOKIE CRAVINGS: “Everything is made from scratch, with fresh ingredients, and special recipes. We also have many gluten-free cookies, and we are nut-free.” Lauren Ariev Gellman, owner of Milk & Cookies, the popular Princeton cookie shop, center, is shown with daughters, Rose, left, and Audrey.

Gift cards are available, as are special T-shir ts, feat ur ing the slogan : “Princeton’s Hometown Cookies.”

In addition to satisfyi n g o n e’s o w n c o o k i e craving, an offering from Milk & Cookies is a perfect hostess gift, Christm a s r e m e m b r a n c e, or thoughtful kindness for any occasion.

“Our cookies have even traveled all over the world, including to Europe, India, and China,” notes G ellman, adding “We want ever yone to

Junior Eaddy Thriving in Role as Featured Back, Starring as PU Football Tops Columbia in Ivy Opener

C

oming into this fall, Collin Eaddy was fully prepared to be the featured running back for the Princeton University football team.

“It has been a cool experience, I got groomed into it playing behind Charlie [Volker], I was able to learn a ton from him and I really appreciate that,” said Eaddy, a 5’11, 210-pound native of Raleigh, N.C., who gained 663 yards last year as an understudy to the now-graduated Volker.

“Quigs [senior Ryan Quigley] is also an older guy so it was learning from those guys and spending a lot of time in the offseason working on various little aspects of my game.”

Last Saturday against visiting Columbia in the Ivy League opener for both teams, Eaddy displayed his diversified game, with 21 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown and making three receptions for 52 yards and a TD to help Princeton rally from a 10-7 halftime deficit and pull out a 21-10 win over the Lions before a crowd of 5,225 at Princeton Stadium.

“We knew they had a strong run defense, but we are not going to stray away from what we do best,” said Eaddy.

“I knew I would get carries.

When we started rolling in the second quarter and after halftime, I got the ball more and you kind of get into a groove.”

Eaddy and his teammates knew they faced a stiff test in a rugged Columbia squad.

“We get into Ivy League play, we know these guys are going to be good,” said Eaddy.

“They were top five rushing defense, so we knew that all week long that it was going to be a grind and that is exactly what it was. Our coach [Bob Surace] doesn’t lie to us, he tells us the truth. A shout out to those guys, with that defense, they are going to be all right this year.”

With the Tigers still trailing 10-7 midway through the third quarter, Eaddy kept grinding as he made some clutch runs. He bulled his way for two yards on a fourth and one at the Columbia 26 for a key first down and capped the drive with a oneyard TD plunge as Princeton went ahead 14-10 and never looked back.

“That is important. The running backs coach [Jamel Mutunga] always talks about driving the bus, and today it was on us to get those chunk plays and the first downs when it was really crucial,” said Eaddy. “That was a big thing for us” Getting better at receiving has been a big thing for Eaddy, and his first touchdown of the day came on a 25-yard scoring strike from Kevin Davidson with 2:26 remaining in the first quarter.

“I spent a lot of time in the offseason just working on my hands in general and route running,” said Eaddy.

“Coach [Andrew] Aurich put me in some good positions to

catch the ball and it worked out well.”

In the fourth quarter, Princeton worked the clock, putting together a 10-play, 80-yard scoring march that took 4:06 and ended with a 31-yard TD run by Quigley.

“We felt like we were the better team, we knew that they were going to have a lot of adrenaline coming in,” said Eaddy.

“Knowing last year that we got a big win (45-10) against them, they were going to come in here and play. I feel like we did wear them down, our coaches talk to us about being strong all the way through the whole game.”

Princeton head coach Bob Surace liked the strong effort he got from his team as it outlasted the Lions.

“I thought we did a really, really great job,” said Surace, as the Tigers improved to 3-0 and posted their 13th straight win.

“We buckled down when we needed to, we won third downs.

Our pressure on the quarterback was outstanding. We ran the ball with authority.”

Even though Princeton was down 10-7 at halftime, Surace had words of encouragement, not criticism, “They are used to me yelling at them when we are up by 35 points,” said Surace with a chuckle.

“I was literally excited, this was a resilience game. It was a mental toughness test. It was

going to come down to a few plays and with a young team, you let them know that you believe in them. They were playing hard.”

The Tigers responded by playing hard to the final gun. “It was a battle every play; they are so good defensively,” said Surace.

“You have to be so precise. We weren’t as completely on it as I would like us to be, but we made plays when we had to. We made great decisions.”

In Surace’s view, Eaddy is making a great contribution with his versatility.

“Most running backs come in and they are runners; they don’t have the complete game,” said Surace.

“Collin is really close to being the complete player. He has worked really hard to take that next step, so credit him. He has worked so hard to be a better blocker, to be a better receiver.

We have done our best with he, Quigley, and Trey Gray to take advantage of them, not only as runners but in other capacities.”

While quarterback Davidson didn’t produce eye-popping numbers as he had in the first two games of the season, he took advantage of opportunities in hitting 22-of-31 passes for 271 yards and a touchdown.

“I thought Kevin managed this game so well,” said Surace.

“On that third down [in the final scoring drive] where he took off and got the first down and slid, that was awesome. That is just mature for his fourth start. Seeing his maturity is like watching a guy just develop right under our eyes. As a coach you feel really good when you are seeing a guy just get better every day.”

GETTING THE CALL: Princeton University running back Collin Eaddy heads upfield last Saturday against Columbia. Junior star Eaddy rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown and had 52 yards receiving with a TD catch to help Princeton defeat Columbia 21-10. The 19thranked Tigers, now 3-0 and riding a 13-game winning streak, host Lafayette on October 11.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) As Princeton looks to defend its Ivy title after going 10-0 last fall, the hard-earned win over Columbia was a good first step.

“You want to get the first one; you always feel better getting one,” said Surace, whose team is now ranked 19th nationally in the AFCA Coaches’ Poll and will look to extend its winning streak when it hosts Lafayette (0-5) on October 11.

“There are four teams that are 1-0 and four teams that are 0-1.

We wanted to get that first one. I thought our guys had a lot of resilience. You can mentally break against a defense like that. This is going to be hard, we are going to have to go 15 plays. When you play a defense where you are not making big plays, the

drives are extended and you are not going to have the ball as much. You are not going to score 45 points against that defense so when you do have it, finishing that drive is even more important.”

Eaddy, for his part, was encouraged by how the Tigers finished off Columbia.

“We are going one game at a time; it is a different team this year so we have to play to our strengths and work on our weaknesses,” said Eaddy.

“Coach talked about executing and being decisive this week.

I feel like we did that today, especially in the second half. We got the job done.”

Following in Footsteps of Older Sisters, Donovan Making Impact for PU Field Hockey Claire Donovan started going to Princeton University field hockey games when she was in elementary school.

With older sisters Kaitlin ’10, Amy ’13, and Annabeth ’19 having all starred for the Tigers, Donovan has been around the program for a long time.

When Donovan emerged as a field hockey standout in her own right for Unionville High (Pa.) a few years ago, she toyed with the idea of playing somewhere else in college but ended up following in the footsteps of her sisters and came to Princeton.

“I wanted to be the black sheep, I wanted to go somewhere else,” said a grinning Donovan.

“But then as I got older, when we would visit other schools, I would think, oh, but it doesn’t have this, something that Princeton had.”

Joining the Tiger program in 2018, Donovan assumed a reserve role, coming off the bench to make six appearances in her debut campaign.

This fall, Donovan has

been seeing more action and last Friday, produced a breakthrough performance as Princeton hosted Yale.

With the Tigers trailing 2-0 in the second quarter, Donovan scored the first goal of her college career to draw Princeton within one heading into halftime.

Donovan didn’t wait long to notch her second goal, scoring with 3:00 remaining in the third quarter as Princeton forged ahead 3-2.

After Yale tied the game with a goal midway through the fourth quarter to force overtime, the Tigers pulled out a 4-3 win on a goal by Ali McCarthy with 3:13 left in the first extra period.

Showing their resilience, the Tigers were not fazed as they dug out of the early hole against the Bulldogs.

“We know it is not the end of the game and we know we still have a lot of time,” said Donovan.

“When we come together, we know that we are about to go out with everything that we have. Even though it

is only in the second quarter, we just have to not fall back on our heels.”

Donovan was on her toes for her first college tally. “It was a drag from Autumn [Brown] but it wasn’t actually supposed to go to me,” said Donovan.

“Going into the circle, I just put my stick down to fake out the defenders almost. I saw it coming to me so I reached forward and tapped it in.”

On her s econd s core, Donovan fired away. “I saw a wide open shot, Emma [Street] just picked the ball off from the defender and it was just me and the goalie,” said Donovan.

“I just had to trust my instincts because I knew that is what my teammates would want me to do. When I don’t let my head get in the way, I am able to just hit it.”

Donovan is proud of the way the Tigers have kept their heads over the years when dealing with adversity.

“We are able to re-set to zero in hard times and come

out as if it is a new game because we can dominate many teams,” said Donovan.

“Ever y ye ar, watch ing Princeton, we change so much throughout the season. Every year at the beginning, it is a little rough but we are a whole new team by the end of the season.”

P r i nce ton h e ad coach Carla Tagliente implored her team to re-set and just play its game as it looked to overcome the early deficit against Yale.

“The directive was if we are going to focus on winning and losing, this is going to be a long battle,” said Tagliente.

“You just need to relax and focus on the game at hand and the opportunities are going to come, so catch your breath. I knew we would get opportunities, we would get shots, we would get corners.”

Hav ing already been involved in 10 one - goal games this year, Princeton is learning to stick to basics in crunch time.

“We overthink things at times in the circle against teams like this where we have almost 40 shots and not a lot of goals,” said Tagliente, whose squad overcame a 4-1 deficit to defeat No. 2 Duke 5-4 in overtime last Sunday to improve to 7-4 and hosts Columbia on October 12. “It is just too much on the ball.”

Tagliente views Donovan as a player who can excel in the circle. “Claire has been playing great in practice, we haven’t given her a lot of opportunity,” said Tagliente, whose squad is now ranked seventh nationally.

“She is simple. On the third

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) goal today, you saw it was just sitting there and she smashed it and it went in. We have been seeing that a lot and seeing if we could give her some opportunities and she took advantage of that today.”

Donovan, for her part, is thrilled to be getting an opportunity to shine.

“I was tiny when I started coming to Princeton games, I just can’t believe I am on

the field right now,” said Donovan.

“I have watched all of these older people play my whole life and now I am actually on the field where I have watched all those games. It is awesome. I am so happy to be finally contributing and helping my teammates because they have helped me.”

PU Rowing Grad Kallfelz Wins US U-23 Award

For the second straight year, Princeton University women’s open rowing standout Emily Kallfelz ’19 has been selected as the USRowing Under 23 Female Athlete of the Year, the organization announced last week.

“It’s crazy; I feel honored,” said Kallfelz to USRowing.

“It’s quite a competitive group of athletes, so I’m honored that people think I’m worthy of that for another year. It’s exciting. It hasn’t really set in. There are tons of very qualified and experienced athletes out there, so it’s nice to be chosen from that group.”

Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny cited Kallfelz’s efforts on the college and U.S. scene.

“She not only had a major impact on our team, but on the national team as well,” said Dauphiny.

“She has been on six national teams and has won three consecutive medals for the United States in the U23 1x which is an impressive feat. She led this team by example, and we couldn’t be prouder of her successes and recognition.

It has been a memorable 2019 season for Kallfelz.

She picked up first-team All-American honors, All-Ivy accolades, was a C. Otto von Kienbusch finalist for top senior female athlete at Princeton, and helped the

overall with a personal best of 9:30.13.

Carrie [Strickland] Dimoff ‘05 posted a 13th place finish in a memorable marathon. With soaring temperatures and a reported “feels like 109 degrees,” 45 percent of the athletes dropped from the race due to the heat. Dimoff did not let that stop her as she crossed the tape with a season best 2 : 4 4.35 as t h e s e con d American across the line.

Representing New Zealand, Julia Ratcliffe ‘17 was just one place out of qualifying for the hammer throw final as she hit 70.45 on her second attempt to finish 13th overall.

J a s m i n e B l o c k e r ‘15 helped the US 4x400 mixed relay set a world record.

Blocker clocked a 51.2 on the third leg as the relay of Tyrell Richard, Jessica Beard and Obi Igbokwe posted a time of 3:12.42.

The U.S. went on to claim gold in the event with a follow up to the world record with Allyson Felix taking the Blocker’s leg in the final.

Horan Siblings Break into Major League Baseball, Landing Front Office Jobs with Yankees, Tigers Jasmine Horan soared as a diver for Amherst College while her older brother Beau Horan thrived as an infielder for Williams College baseball team.

While the siblings followed different directions athletically in heading to rival colleges, their career paths have converged on the diamond as they now both work in Major League Baseball front offices.

Jasmine, a 2019 Amherst grad who went to Princeton High, is now taking a deep dive into the numbers, feeding data to the New York Yankees in their playoff run as a Baseball Operations associate for the storied franchise.

Some 500 miles to the west, Beau, a Princeton Day School alum who graduated from Williams in 2016 and went on to get his MBA and Masters in Sports Management from the Isenberg School at UMass-Amherst, is looking to help build the Detroit Tigers into a playoff team as a Baseball Operations analyst for the club.

While Jasmine ultimately

focused her competitive efforts on diving in high school and college, baseball was a big part of her childhood.

“Growing up, I was around baseball all of the time,” said Jasmine.

“My dad [Paul] played at Amherst and both of my older brot hers played a lot. Jake was a star at PHS and Beau played at PDS. I played Little League baseball. I grew up watching my brothers’ games at Grover Park.”

Connecting with a scout for t he Cincinnat i Reds through an Amherst alumni mentor program, Jasmine, a double major in math and statistics, got an internship after her freshman year with a Cape Cod League team, the Harwich Mariners that allowed her combine her education with her love of baseball.

The next summer, she worked with the Vermont L ake Monsters, a minor league affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, helping to operate its TrackMan system to analyze pitching data. Last summer, she went

to Oakland to work in the club’s front office.

“My role there focused in quantitative analysis, using my skills from school and just doing projects that were assigned to me,” said Jasmine.

“They had me in the fielding aspect - where to position the players with the shifts, evaluating the efficiency of the shift and figuring out if it is worth it. That was my big thing there.”

Beau got his start in the Cape Cod League as well, landing an internship with t h e Wa r e h a m G a te m e n through the UMass grad program.

“It was a comprehensive baseball ops internship,” said Beau, an economics and statistics double major at Williams.

“We were working with video with the players. We were learning scouting. We were doing some charting with the coaches.”

His exper ience in t he Cape League helped him get on the radar of the Detroit Tigers

FAMILY BUSINESS: Jasmine Horan, left, and Beau Horan meet up at Yankee Stadium this summer as they took a break from their Major League Baseball front office duties. Jasmine, a 2019 Amherst College grad who went to Princeton High, works as a Baseball Operations associate for the Yankees while her older brother, Beau, a Princeton Day School alum who graduated from Williams College in 2016 and earned his MBA and Masters in Sports Management from the Isenberg School at UMass-Amherst, is with the Detroit Tigers as Baseball Operations analyst for the club.

“I had interviewed with Jim Logue of the Tigers in the winter meetings of 2016 and he said it was a good interview but they were hiring in terms of the whole year,” said Beau.

“I am not available until the summer so he said reach out again next year and we will go through the process again. I did that and I was lucky enough to make it through and I ended up starting in April 2018 while I was still finishing my masters.”

For Jasmine, the time in Oakland helped get her noticed by the Yankees “After I worked for the A’s, I gained a little credibility; I got along well with the executives there,” said Jasmine.

“At the end of my summer there, they told me if we had a spot, we would love to give it to you, but Oakland being the low revenue team, they have a very small front office and they didn’t have as many openings. I got a message from someone with the Yankees who reached out to me personally and asked me to apply. It was crazy. I

couldn’t believe, this has got got be a joke or something, someone is pranking me.”

Going through the Yankee hiring process was no joke.

“There are a certain number of steps that you have to go through,” recalled Jasmine.

“There was a preliminary screening and then after, they send you a questionnaire with a bunch of questions to gauge what you know and your skills. I made it past both of those steps and I was invited for an interview at Yankee Stadium at the beginning of November of last year. I drove down 3 1/2 hours, nervous as all heck. I had a 40 minute interview, I honestly thought that I did terribly. A couple of days, I get a call and they offered me the job. I was so over the moon, I couldn’t believe it.”

Starting with the Yankees this summer weeks after graduating from Amherst, Jasmine had been doing a lot for the club.

“Most of my work so far consists of putting together reports for the coaches and the players, statistical reports, and situational stuff,” said Jasmine, noting that she typically works Monday through Friday but has to be in her office whenever the Yankees are at home, leading to one stretch this summer where she worked 19 days in a row.

“It is the standard: we are playing this team, here is what has happened in the past when we played them, here is what we should do.

I am actually getting exposure to both operations side as well as the quantitative analysis because they recognize that I have that background through mathematics. It has really allowed to take on this dual role with them, which is great.”

Beau, for his part, is focused on monitoring the Tiger minor league system.

“We are split up into three groups,” said Beau.

“We have the general analysts who work on player acquisition, the draft, and general models that apply everywhere. We have the advance scouting people who will travel with the team and will work on dayto-day advance reports. My role is player development and minor league focused.

It hits some aspects of the advanced role and getting reports out to minor league

coaches.”

L i ke h i s s i s te r, B e a u doesn’t have much down time. “In the first couple of months of the season, there is a lot of travel,” said Beau.

“The travel is lined up so I am on the road at a minor league park while the major league team is on the road. I will come home when the major league the team is home. It is following the minor league games as well as the major league games, answering questions from coaches, making reports, and making sure that our tracking of ever ybody is going well. There will be reports to be sent out at the end of the month. You don’t get many days off but I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.”

Jasmine, for her part, is thrilled to be doing her job in such an historic setting.

“It is an honor to be able to go to work at Yankee Stadium,” said Jasmine.

“It is such a blast to be at games. Brian Cashman [the Yankee General Manager] is always around our offside, he walks around all of the time; I have direct contact with him,” It has been a blast for Jasmine to share the MLB experience with her older brother.

“I think we are the only siblings both currently working in front offices,” said Jasmine.

“It is really fun, we have this rivalry and we have always been sort of competitive. It is amazing knowing someone who works for a front office in baseball.

There are not that many jobs, t here are only 30 teams so the fact that we are both doing it is crazy.

The chances are so slim and we are both so lucky to be doing it.”

Beau knows that he and his sister are lucky to have made it the big leagues together.

“I was never really giving her much advice because the funny thing was that even though I am a couple of years older, we were going through this process at the same time,” said Horan.

“It is a really, really cool to see that we were both able to get into the industry at the same time with the same skill sets.”

Charlotte Gilmore and the Princeton High girls’ cross country team are running happy this fall.

It’s a goal they set after a disappointing ending last year for PHS in the sectionals. It’s a goal that they have gone back to over and over, although it’s hard to quantify.

“We went to a running camp for a week in the middle of summer training,” said Gilmore, a junior who has paced the Tigers this season.

“All of the teams there were saying, qualify for nationals and all these huge goals. Our main goal was to run happy which was funny because of the juxtaposition between that and going to nationals. I think by focusing on that goal we didn’t expect for it to come together this well and we still have work to do, but after the first dual meet when we all crossed the line and we had all PR’d by a lot and had a pretty good pack forming, we were all pretty surprised, but excited. We had some injuries and little dips in the past couple weeks, but it’s all coming together and we’re still excited and working for that.”

PHS confirmed that it has grown plenty over the last year by taking fourth place with 107 points in the Varsity B race at the Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel Park last Saturday in a division won

by Ridge with a score of 55.

It had been 11 months, countless miles, and a newly adopted attitude since a heartbreaking sectional at Holmdel when the Tigers failed to advance to the group meet for the first time in more than a decade.

“It was more than a little disappointing,” said Gilmore.

“Humbling is a good word. I don’t know if we want to say we fell apart that race, but we fell apart that race. It definitely made us aware of what we’re doing and what we do need to work on and not just saying, we’ll be great. We think we can be great because we’ll work on the things we need to work on. Just having that last year is definitely part of the motivation because we know it could happen, but it won’t because we’re working to make it not happen.”

PHS returned to Holmdel in the Shore Coaches meet with a 20:42 average per runner, 43 seconds faster per runner than it ran at last year’s sectionals.

“I was looking at the overall results and we came in 12th out of 120 teams which I did not expect whatsoever,” said Gilmore, who placed 10th individually in 20:09 over the 5,000-meter course.

“That was really encouraging, especially because it’s so much better than we’ve been able to put together in this race before and we didn’t even have all seven cross the line.

We’re really looking forward to counties and championship season. I would say it was pretty encouraging.”

Following Gilmore for PHS, freshman Lucy Kreipke ran 20:31 to take 18th, freshman Robin Roth clocked 20:49 for 26th pace, junior Emma Lips finished 31st in 20:57 and junior Sofia Dacruz ran 21:04 to come in 34th to give PHS five scoring runners. Senior Elizabeth Hare placed 54th in 21:55.

“I’m thrilled with how the girls ran,” said PHS head

coach Jim Smirk, reflecting on the meet.

“A year ago, it was the first time I ever had a girls team not make it out of a sectional to groups. Everybody on the team today was on that team last year. Siena (Moran) graduated and then we had two incoming freshmen. Of our seven, five of these girls were on that team last year and they felt that sting.”

PHS resolved to train harder, to dedicate themselves to improving and to set their goals higher and not settle for anything less than their best.

Their first major invitational with their top seven on the line showed the payoff. Gilmore was only five seconds off her fastest finish ever at Holmdel and pleased with what she saw of the team.

“My freshman year, at the end of that year we graduated a bunch of seniors and then last year the team was basically made up of totally different people,” said Gilmore.

“That year was more about building the team aspect, and this year we all sort of came to the conclusion we all want to do this, and we know what we have to do and the work we have to put in. This past summer, our training definitely helped us build the team aspect. Our success has come from us acknowledging where we need to work and discussing it as a team and working off each other and with each other as opposed to being individuals.”

PHS will look to continue to build on Saturday’s performance. Last year, they took fifth in the B race at Shore Coaches, but went on to run slower and finish seventh at sectionals. The Tigers have followed Gilmore’s lead into transforming themselves into a stronger unit.

“Charlotte as our No. 1 has been the voice,” said Smirk.

“She’s said, let’s take on this challenge and let’s get better.

The entire group of girls that’s working with her has accepted it and every day in practice is exciting. They are ready to go, even on easy days they’re focused and they’re exciting.

A year ago, we’d get on the line and look like deer in headlights. Today they’re dancing before the race. It’s just phenomenal to watch a group of girls transform that way and take ownership over their own success and be willing to put the work in day in and day out to find that success.”

Gilmore has been a contributor from her first day with the PHS squad as she fit in with a more veteran team. Now she’s a leader for an up-and-coming group that has made a commitment to each other.

“My sophomore year, I was used to deferring to the seniors as to how I should run and looking to them for leadership,” said Gilmore.

“This year, the current juniors and seniors are working together to take on that leadership role. That’s showed me I have to be confident in myself to inspire others which has helped. I’ve been a lot better this year at working together with people within races.

We’ve been working hard in workouts together too. The team aspect is definitely what has helped individually as well, leaning into that team aspect.”

While Gilmore’s example has helped to foster a stronger team attitude and better team, she credits her teammates for

being so willing to adopt a new mindset.

“We all agreed we’re willing to put the work in to do what it takes,” said Gilmore.

“That was in the back of our minds last year, but it wasn’t as central to all the work we were doing. Now, on our everyday runs, we’ll go through goals for upcoming workouts, goals for upcoming races or discuss past workouts and races and what we can do to improve those. Being really open and aware of what we need to work on and being really intentional about everything is the biggest change.”

It’s part of significant development since a year ago although Smirk always believed in the potential of the team.

“We had meetings and conversations a couple times during the year last year and it ended with me saying, there’s no way I can see more talent in you than you can see in yourself,” recalled Smirk.

“It’s impossible. There’s no way I can believe in you to do anything when you can’t, not if we’re going to be successful. And to their credit, every time it didn’t work out, they didn’t hang their heads, they just said what do we need to do next? They continued to grow. Some of it was physical maturity – they had to put the miles in. Some of it was attitude – not being satisfied with anything less than what they had available to themselves.

Some of it was the belief that they could put together a full lineup and it wasn’t just one or two people doing the work, so everybody was accountable.”

The changes have transformed the team; it started at the top with Gilmore, and now Smirk is seeing her move to another level and the impact that has on the rest of the squad.

“I think the big difference is maybe her first and second year it was always that she was maybe worried about taking a risk or making a mistake and letting the team down,” said Smirk.

“She’s running with a new identity. She’s taken on the perspective that I am capable of running the best race that I can and as a result my team will be there with me and we’ll have success. That mindset has been a big difference for us. It’s not to say she didn’t put in great efforts in the past – she certainly did – it’s that she was always worried in the back of her mind about what if…She’s let that go and turned that what if question around and said, what if we have a big race, what comes of that, how good can we be?

To their credit, they have real specific goals. If you asked the team a year ago about being top five in Varsity B and top 12 or whatever at the merge, I think they would have looked at you like you had nine heads and said, we’re not that team.

They are now and all credit to Charlotte and her team attitude and how she’s taking on that confident racing mindset and how it’s been spreading on our team like wildfire.”

It all comes back to a simple goal that has developed for the Tigers that covers everything that they want to do and how they want to finish this season.

“Run happy is the main goal,” said Gilmore. “Whatever other goals we have, we want to win counties and qualifying for Meet of Champs would be amazing. All of that would come from running happy, so that’s still our main goal.”

Fueled by Rougas’ Play in Central Midfield, PHS Girls’ Soccer Competing at a High Level Lauren Rougas emerged as the heart and soul of the back line for the Princeton High girls’ soccer team last fall.

This year, senior Rougas has been moved up the field to central midfield and has been playing her heart out in her new spot, displaying superb finishing in addition to her customary defensive prowess.

In a 4-1 win over Ewing on September 26, Rougas scored three goals to spearhead the PHS offense.

Last week, she notched another goal on a brilliant free kick as the Tigers rolled to a 6-0 win over Hamilton West on October 1.

While Rougas acknowledged that the Hamilton game was one-sided, she t hought PHS benef it ted from the victory.

“Coming off of our win over Ewing, we had a lot of momentum and a lot of positivity,” said Rougas.

“We were excited to play a fun game and have a good day of soccer. We could move the ball around and get our mentality ready for the games where the competition is more intense.”

Rougas is having fun in her new spot of the field for PHS. “I play midfield for my club and I have a lot of experience in it,” said Rougas, who has committed to attend Colgate University and play for its women’s soccer program.

“It is good to switch the ball around and be the point of the attack for our team. I am pretty versatile when it comes to both of those positions because they are very close together.”

Over the years, Rougas has grown close to her seven classmates on the squad.

“We have a bunch of the seniors playing together since freshman year,” said Rougas.

“This year it is more of a cohesive unit than in prior years and I think that is what helps us win games.”

The addition of Rougas’ younger sister, freshman midfielder Megan, has also helped the Tigers.

“Megan is one of the hardest workers I have ever seen and I definitely give kudos to her,” said Rougas.

“Literally day in, day out, in practices or games, it doesn’t matter, she is always first to the ball. It might be my yelling at her.”

PHS head coach Val Rodriguez liked the way her players worked the ball around in the win over Hamilton.

“We always have to focus on our positioning, our shape on the field, the possession game, and making sure that we are creating attacks that are strong and numbers are up, and that we are finishing strong,” said Rodriguez, who also got goals from Naomi Bazar, Vanessa Ponce, Eva Petrone, Morgan Beamer, and Grace Heilbronn in the victory.

“There have been a lot of games where we are creating good opportunities and we are not putting goals away. In a game like this, we have to make sure that we put that ball away.”

Senior star Rougas has been putting a lot of balls

away in her central midfield spot.

“Lauren is hungry for that ball,” said Rodriguez. “She finds herself on the field in moments that she needs to.

She comes up with the ball every single time. In terms of a target for corner kicks, she is tall, she is big, she is physical and she is not afraid of anything. Luckily we have Molly [Frain] and Christina [Tkac] putting in really great corners.”

Rodriguez is getting big contributions throughout her roster. “The entire lineup is filling their roles and that is the thing that we talk about all the time,” said Rodriguez.

“Some people I might expect to be up here on a daily basis and their teammates look to them for that and then there are some people where I just need that consistency. We are filling our roles really, really well as a team and that is what it comes down to.”

As PHS looks ahead to the Mercer County Tournament, which starts next

week, Rodriguez believes that her players are primed to do some damage in the competition.

“We want to be able to play with anybody in this league and I think on our best day with everybody healthy and working their best, we can compete this year,” said Rodriguez, whose team fell 2-0 to Hopewell Valley last Monday to move to 7-4-1 and plays at Lawrence on October 10 before hosting Notre Dame on October 14.

“I am looking forward to it. These girls deserve it.

They have put in their time, there are eight seniors. They are a really great group of girls, the team chemistry is there. It is all flowing, it just needs to continue coming together for them.”

Rougas, for her part, sees that chemistry as a key ingredient in the team’s success.

“It is just continuing what we have been doing this whole season which is pretty positive,” said Rougas.

“We have been moving the ball around, working as a team. There is no person that really stands out, it is a team effort.”

With Pompliano Providing Spark Off the Bench, PHS Boys’ Soccer Rallies to Top Hightstown in OT Ian Pompliano isn’t always in the starting lineup for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team but he is developing into one of the squad’s top finishers.

Last Thursday against visiting Hightstown, the junior forward came off the bench and scored two goals as PHS rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to pull out a 2-1 win in overtime and improve to 10-2.

Heading into t he second half, Pompliano and his teammates knew they had to be more aggressive around the net to overcome the Rams.

“We just tried to send a few more numbers forward, considering that we were dow n,” said Pompliano.

“Once we made the switch, we were just dominating.”

With 14:20 left in regu-

lation, Pompliano helped switch the momentum in favor of PHS as he slotted a ball into the back of the net to knot the contest at 1-1.

“Charlie Novak headed the ball to me and I got the ball and played it off one of their midfielders,” said Pompliano, recalling the tally.

“I played the ball out wide to James Novak and he crossed the ball and it bobbled around a little bit; I turned on it and got it in.”

Over the waning stages of the second half, PHS turned up the heat on the Rams, generating a number of chances with Hightstown on its heels as the contest went into overtime.

“Once we got the goal, we just kept the ball and kept going forward,” said Pompliano. “We got some fire after that; we felt pretty confident

COMING TOGETHER: Members of the Princeton High boys’ soccer team celebrate after scoring a goal in a recent game. Last Thursday against visiting Hightstown, junior Ian Pompliano tallied two goals as PHS rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to win 2-1 in overtime. The Tigers, who lost 1-0 in overtime at Hopewell Valley last Monday to drop to 10-3, are scheduled to host Lawrence on October 10 before playing at Notre Dame on October 14.

going into overtime.”

Early in the second OT period, Pompliano fired the ball home from close range to give PHS the win.

“The ball just kind of came to me, I was in the right spot,” said Pompliano. “I took a shot and it worked out.”

Pompliano was proud of the way PHS worked to pull out the victory.

“It feels good,” said Pompliano. “It shows we are resilient and we can make comebacks in the second half when we need to.”

Reflecting on how his role is evolving this season, Pompliano believes he is forming a good one-two scoring punch with classmate Nick Petruso.

“Nick is a great player to have; he is so fast and he opens up defenses,” said Pompliano.

“When I am on the ball, it is the easiest thing finding him off the ball. He is constantly making runs. I have been a pretty key attacking player. Nick and I have combined for a lot of goals this season.”

PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe was looking for his team to attack more against Hightstown as it looked to overcome the halftime deficit.

“We were tr ying to increase our urgency in the second half and connect more passes,” said Sutcliffe.

“In the first half, we were getting in but we weren’t bu i ld i ng. T h at w as ou r goal in the second half. We settled down so I am very pleased.”

S u tc l i f fe w a s p l e a s e d to see Pompliano come through in the win over the Rams.

“Ian has been coming in off the bench in the 20-25th minute,” said Sutcliffe.

“G et t ing t hat w in n ing goal was great for Ian. It was great for his contribution and great for his confidence. He gave us a lift today. Their No. 20 shirt was just shadowing Nick and he was drawing defenders. So that was part of our rationale to insert Ian because he can open up the game a little bit. Nick can draw guys out and that frees up Ian and frees up Nico [Carusone].”

With the Mercer County Tournament starting next week, Sutcliffe feels that his squad is raising the level of its game at the right time.

“We are growing. Our best soccer is ahead of us,” said Sutcliffe, whose team lost 1-0 in overtime at Hopewell Valley last Monday to drop to 10-3 and is scheduled to host Lawrence on October 10 before playing at Notre Dame on October 14.

“The guys on the team are 100 percent committed.

They are believing. These young guys are doing great.

We have seven sophomores and every one of them is making a contribution. We also have a great junior class.”

In Pompliano’s view, PHS is playing good soccer all over the field as it heads into postseason play.

“Going forward, I think we have a strong offense,” said Pompliano. “We have a solid midfield and back line to support that. I think we have only let up two goals at home.”

With Steady Bornstein Emerging as Frontrunner, Revamped PHS Boys’ Cross Country Making Strides Jacob Bornstein has taken big jumps in each cross country season and this year’s leap has landed him at the top of the new-look Princeton High boys’ cross country team.

The junior was 20th in the Varsity C race at the Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel Park on Saturday to lead the Little Tigers to a seventhplace finish with 208 points in a division won by Ridge with a score of 37.

“I felt I had a good race,” said Bornstein, who finished in a personal-record 17:09 over the challenging 5,000-meter course.

“Conditions were perfect – nice weather, 60 degrees.

The team had a great day. We all did a great job and took advantage of the downhills and raced smart going uphill.

(Coach Jim) Smirk was happy about what the team did.”

As for the rest of the PHS squad, senior Nick Trenholm placed 35th in 17:28, senior Tyler Fu took 49th in 17:48, sophomore Addison Motto placed 53rd in 18:01, junior Chase Moran ran to 55th in 18:04, junior Matt Erlichson clocked 18:07 for 56th, and senior Charlie Biggs was 62nd in 18:21. Only Bornstein and Fu were a part of last year’s top seven Tigers at the Shore Coaches meet as PHS graduated its top four runners from a year ago.

“We’re kind of a young team,” said coach Smirk.

“We’re coming off a cycle of really top end runners and our guys are trying to find our footing. We’ve been struggling just to get into the race, and I think we did a much better job of that. We showed where our fitness is at and made some good decisions. We’re certainly a better team today than we were three weeks ago. I’m happy with how they’re progressing.”

The Shore Coaches is a midterm of sorts for teams with the championship portion of the season on the horizon and the Tigers are looking to continue their program’s success.

They won back-to-back Mercer County Championships before placing fourth a year ago. The Tigers took second in last year’s Central Jersey Group 4 sectional.

“We want to be just as successful as we were the year before,” said Bornstein. “I don’t think there’s any pressure. We’re just doing what we’re supposed to do. We had a lot of great runners in the past few years motivate us to race well and work hard and I think they did make an impact and we know what we have to do.”

Bornstein, for his part, started running in middle school and has grown more dedicated each successive year. He has taken on a bigger role this year as one of the most experienced returning runners.

“As a freshman, I was interested in the sport,” said Bornstein said. “I knew I was OK at it. I wanted to learn more about it and see if I was interested. It seemed to go really well for me. Sophomore year, I had great seniors to look up to. They were role models for me – Tucker (Zullo) and Jackson (McCarthy). I learned a lot from them and Coach Smirk about how to race. This year I’m putting it all together and racing with the team and we’re doing really well. Racing varsity is a big step up, but

I’m enjoying it and things are working out.”

B or n s te i n r a n i n d o or track his first two years and switched from tennis after his freshman year in the spring to take on outdoor track as well. He’s a full-time runner invested in becoming the best runner he can be, and he’s quickly climbed the team’s depth chart thanks to his hard work.

“Even among freshmen, he was deep in the depth chart among the freshmen,” said Smirk.

“Last year, he popped out as this really consistent five/ six man who held the door for us with that crew. This year, he put the miles in. He’s running strong and he’s still young when it comes to racing at the higher level. He’s wildly consistent. He has a really good race plan and executes it well. I think today the race got a little away from him right from the get-go and he worked his way back up. He’s been our one man all season, he’s absolutely steady on the front end for us and he’s demanding of his teammates that it’s time and come up and join him. It’ll be exciting to see how the second half of the season goes here, which I think the guys are starting to realize. We need to support him a little more and I think we have some athletes that are going to take that on.”

Each race has been an opportunity for the PHS boys to gain experience. They have all run races, but not in the same talented fields that they’re not facing.

“These guys aren’t necessarily battle-tested like some of the teams we’ve had in the past,” said Smirk.

“They need to get their noses in there and fight for it. Today was a good step for it. We had some of our younger runners – Addison Motto who’s a sophomore – run varsity for the first time.

He ran gutty. He got out early, he fought his way through the roller coasters and kind of got banged around a little bit and tackled ‘The Bowl.’ It was a personal best for the course and the season so I’m really happy seeing that kind of effort. We need to be faster, but that’s part of the deal as you get more battle-tested and realize what you need to do to be more successful, you start digging a little deeper. We had a lot of improvements. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting there and that’s a good place to be.”

The goals remain lofty for the Tigers and they aren’t backing down from expectations established within the program’s recent success.

“The end goal is to make it to Meet of Champions which is the meet for the best teams in the state,” said Bornstein. “(Shore Coaches) race is kind of to see where we’re at. This course at Holmdel is a hard course and there’s a lot of parts to it – uphill, downhill and flats – and every race we’re practicing how to run. It was a good learning experience. A lot of us are going to learn from what we did (Saturday) and apply the new techniques and things in our future.”

There is still a steep learning curve for a top seven that has a drastically different make-up from a year ago and is learning together in their new roles. “We do have

a lot of young runners on the team,” said Bornstein. “A lot of them are stepping up.

We’re putting in a lot of hard work every day after school.

It’s coming together. The work that we’re doing now is meant for the end of the season. We may be racing really well now, but at the end of the season all of our hard work will come together and we’ll be a very good team. Hopefully we’ll be in the top 10 in the state.”

The work to get there started long before the season actually began as Bornstein was setting the foundation for a big year with his offseason training.

“This year I’ve been putting a lot more miles into training over the summer,” said Bornstein.

“I ran a lot more than last summer. Smirk has made us do a lot more hill workouts this year which has been helpful. Overall, we’ve been running more distance.”

Bornstein and PHS are keeping their eyes on their goals. It helps them to motivate each other week by week.

“Hopefully, the end goal is to run 16:30 at Holmdel Park,” said Bornstein.

“It’s not a big reach. I just have to keep working at it. As long as we do what Smirk tells us to do and keep putting in the work, I think it’s pretty manageable and not out of the question.”

Bornstein’s 17:09 finish Saturday was nearly a minute faster than the 18:05 he clocked at last year’s Shore Coach’s race. The drop shows that PHS is moving in the right direction as they measure their progress with the race.

“We make sure our training is where we want it,” said Smirk.

“For this team, I don’t know if I’d put as much stake into it. They haven’t had as much varsity level competition so for us it was a big learning experience. We went up to Bowdoin last week but we didn’t bring the full team. We had some exposure there. This is the first time that we ran our full lineup and I think it was a pretty big learning experience about the difference of just running fast and running as a team.”

Continuing to develop as a team leader, Bornstein has been pushing the team to reach its goals and leading the way by example. “I do feel like I need to motivate other people and give them advice and obviously try my best every race because the team is depending on all of our performances and my performance,” said Bornstein.

“I’m not feeling different. I just know that other people may look at how I race. If they have any questions, I can help them out or give them advice.”

The advice after Shore Coaches is to continue to push forward. The Tigers were encouraged by what they saw, and they didn’t run a perfect race. PHS is improving each week and on pace to finish far ahead of where it began.

“I think we’re good right now,” said Bornstein. “Everyone knows there’s a lot more work to do. As long as we do what we need to do, I think we’re pretty set to be pretty successful in the future. I don’t think anyone is doubting themselves right now, which is good.”

Jadyn Huff kept pressing forward for the Princeton Day School field hockey team even as it fell behind a powerful Hill School (Pa.) squad 4-0 in the first half last Wednesday.

PDS freshman for ward Huff got loose on a breakaway and fired the ball past the Hill goalie to cut the deficit to 4-1 with 9:35 left in the half.

“I just knew it was my ball, I just kept going and I went as quick as I could,” said Huff. “I was just trying to get in there. I just wanted to get a shot on net.”

While Huff’s moment of brilliance proved to be one of the lone highlights for the Panthers as they fell 11-1 to the Blues, PDS never stopped trying.

“We did ver y well. We hung in there and we tried to stay positive throughout,” said Huff.

Huff is enjoying a positive freshman campaign for the Panthers. “I am definitely learning a lot more, my coaches have taught me a lot of great things that I need to improve on,” said Huff.

“They have helped me on shooting, different shots to take, when to take certain hits and what is beneficial when it is a game situation.”

PDS head coach Heather Farlow credits Huff with giving PDS a spark on the front line.

“Jadyn has been great addition to our offense, we knew that she is capable of finishing,” said Farlow.

“She rises to the challenge of some of these tougher opponents, playing Lawrenceville (a 5-1 loss on September 28) and Hill this week. She has done a really nice job.”

W h i l e PD S w as ove r matched against powerhouse Hill, the Panthers showed some grit.

“We gave up too many corners, but I think our defensive coverage, our marking and reading the passing lanes was much better,” said Farlow.

“I don’t think we gave up, regardless of the score. We just kept playing which I was really pleased with.”

The team’s senior group has helped the Panthers keep playing hard. “Lexie [ Hausheer] and Caroline [Haggerty] have been great.

They are our two most veteran club players and they have been anchor ing us defensively,” said Farlow, whose senior class also includes Madison Izzard.

“Skylar Mundenar has stepped up and made some

nice plays. Julia Lach is doing some nice things up front for us. Our seniors are doing a really nice job; they are holding us together.”

In Farlow’s view, her squad is coming together as it looks forward to postseason play.

“We are playing a much tougher schedule this year than in the last few years,” said Farlow, whose defeated Springside Chestnut Hill ( Pa.) 4-0 last Monday to improve to 5-5-3 and starts play in the Mercer County Tournament this week where it is seeded sixth and will host No. 11 WW/P-South in a first round contest.

“That has been nice in that we are sensing what the highest level of play is.

It is also a challenge. They are tough teams but we have stayed positive, we have stayed focused. We are just trying to take it day by day.”

Huff, for her part, believes that PDS will be a tough out in the MCT. “I think we will do well if we keep our heads high and stay positive no matter what happens,” said Huff.

“Playing better teams like we have definitely makes you better, it opens your eyes to what better teams can do.”

James A. Moffett ’29 Lectures in Ethics

The Challenges of Beneficence: Revising the Terms Barbara Herman University of California, Los Angeles

Racheting Up Energy To Overcome 1-4 Start, Hun Boys’ Soccer Primed for Big Finish Struggling to a 1-4 record by late September, it was looking like the Hun School boys’ soccer team might be heading to a forgettable season.

But having gone 3-0-2 in its last five outings, Hun has righted the ship and appears to be on the way to a memorable campaign.

While the team’s run started with two frustrating ties, a 1-1 draw with Episcopal Academy on September 26 and a 3-3 stalemate with George School (Pa.) five days later that saw it squander early leads, Hun head coach Pat Quirk believes his players learned some lessons from the draws.

“I was talking to one of my parents and he said ‘you know what, you have to learn how to not lose before you win,’” said Quirk.

“That resonated with me a little bit with the George game where we had to come back to get that result to keep from losing that game. We were really disappointed in a tie but

looking at it, we could have lost that game.”

The Raiders got a very good result last Thursday when they edged Princeton Day School 1-0 on a goal by senior defender Brian Spencer.

“To not give up the lead as we had done in the previous two games was awesome,” said Quirk “We were playing well. They had a couple of opportunities at the end and Alex Donahue made some big saves. The defensive line was doing very well. We play well when we win 50/50 balls. In that game, Luke McManimon was winning everything against their back line. Tishe [Olaleye] and Amar [Anand] were winning head balls in the midfield. Brian [Spencer] and Jake Marcin, who was playing center back that game, were winning so much out of the air right up the middle.”

Two days later, Hun pulled out a big 2-1 win at Blair. “We were up 1-0 and we gave one back but this is a new team,” said Quirk.

Thursday, October 24th, 2019 4:30– 6:00 pm Friend Center, Lecture Hall 101 Reception to follow

This lecture is free and open to the public.

CATCHING FIRE: Hun School boys’ soccer player Amar Anand goes after the ball in recent action. Last Saturday, junior star Anand scored the winning goal as Hun edged the Blair Academy 2-1. The Raiders, who topped Northern Burlington 2-1 last Monday to improve to 4-4-2, host the Hill School (Pa.) on October 11 before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament.

“I feel like in the past we night have folded after going up on the road and giving it back. They have this sense of urgency and competitiveness that they don’t want lose any more or give it back.

Junior star Anand showed his competitiveness as he notched winning goal against the Buccaneers.

“Jake Marcin thew a ball to Tishe [Olaleye] and he flicked it to Amar,” said Quirk.

“He had a kid in his back, he backed him down a little bit and turned and shot and beat the goalie near post. It was a good shot.”

Through its undefeated streak, Hun has been getting good work from the back line and junior goalkeeper Donahue.

“Brian is one of the key guys back there and Jake Marcin has been playing a little center back, he got moved from the outside,” said Quirk, whose squad topped Northern Burlington 2-1 last Monday to improve to 4-4-2 “Lucas Mazzoni and John Balian both played outside back against PDS, they have been doing a really nice job.

Jack Tarzy has been doing well, he had one of the goals against Blair. Alex has been great. I was a little worried in the beginning — he was a little tentative coming out, but he has been stealing stuff out the air nonstop. His communication has been great. He has been playing a lot with his feet, moving the ball around to our forwards. He has a really strong leg, that is helpful.”

In reflecting on the team’s recent success, Quirk attributes it to a strong commitment to improving day in, day out.

“The energy and the competitiveness that the kids have been coming with on a consistent basis has been unreal,” said Quirk.

“It starts in practice there and they roll it into the games now. It is something that we were struggling with in the beginning of the season. We were playing like a good 40 minutes or a good 60 minutes and now we are playing a complete 80 minutes.”

In addition to that energetic approach, the Raiders have been displaying resilience.

“We have had a hiccup here or there but they don’t let it get to them any more; they know it is on to the next play,” said Quirk.

“Previously, our heads would have gone down when Blair scored on us, we would have said ‘here we go.’ On Saturday, when we got the ball out of the net, we stood up tall and just kept going.”

Looking ahead, Quirk believes his squad can go on a nice run in the Mercer County Tournament which starts next week.

“It is the time of the season that you need to be going in the right direction and I think we are,” asserted Quirk, whose team hosts the Hill School (Pa.) on October 11 in a regular season contest “I was talking to the seniors after the George game and I said good teams have this stuff figured out, they are making runs right now into the tournament. We have turned it around where I consider us as one of those teams that has it figured out and we are making a good run into the tournament.”

Obituaries David George Glen David George Glen was born April 30, 1924 and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of William and Agnes Glen. His formal education was completed at Daniels Stewarts College, Edinburgh, after which he entered the field of medicine.

He was a certified rehabilitation specialist, serving in military and civilian hospitals in the United Kingdom. From 1942 to 1945, he served in the Royal Air Force.

In 1955 David immigrated to the United States, becoming a citizen in 1961. For 15 years, he was Supervisor of Recreational Therapy at the Neuropsychiatric Institute of New Jersey. Afterwards, he was owner of the Princeton Gift Shop on Palmer Square, Princeton. Starting in 1957, he was associated with the Princeton Chapter of the American Red Cross, since his work at the lnstitute included close contact with the Princeton Chapter on a year-round basis. In 1972 he became an elective member of the Board of Directors, Princeton Chapter, for a three-year term.

His tenure included Chapter Executive Committee duties.

In July of 1975, he became chairman of the Princeton chapter, following which he served an additional year as member-at-large, and then three more years on the Board. Later on, David was an active volunteer with the Hospice Program at the Medical Center at Princeton.

David was a loving uncle

to his four nieces and one nephew, Raymond, Anne, Sandra, Gail, and Gwen, all of whom survive him. His family writes that, “Although he lived so far away across the big pond, he would say he made many a trip home to Scotland. He came home to meet all the additions to the family: husbands, wives, and children. When he made the brave decision to move to America, his family was all so, so proud of what he achieved. We will never forget you, Uncle David. May you rest in peace. Love from all your Scottish family.”

A memorial service will be held on a date to be determined.

Nancy E. Pike Nancy Eleanor Peakes Pike, a longtime resident of Princeton and Montgomery Townships, died September 28 at Brandywine Senior Living at Princeton. She was 91.

Born in Cambridge, and raised in Weston, MA, she was the daughter of the late Seldon Charles Peakes and Christine Newborg Peakes.

She graduated with honors from the Boston University School of Public Relations in 1949 with a B.S. in journalism. During college she was President of Phi Gamma Nu, a national professional sorority in Commerce, and a member of Kappa Tau Alpha, the national honorary journalism fraternity. Following graduation, she became a reporter for the Daily News Tribune, a Waltham, MA, afternoon daily newspaper.

Nancy met her future husband, the late Winthrop Seeley Pike of Wellesley, MA, at St. Mary’s Church in Newton Lower Falls, MA, where they married in 1954. After their wedding, she moved to Princeton, where he had joined the RCA Laboratories technical staff following his U.S. Army service in World War II. They started their family the following year, and remained married for over 57 years until his death in 2012. After raising her

children, Nancy returned to the publishing world as the Business Manager for Theology Today, the Princeton T h e o l o g i c a l S e m i n a r y’s quarterly journal.

She was an insatiable reader, reading at least two newspapers daily and several books weekly; and a prolific and clever writer, whose letters, cards, and notes remain treasured by family and friends. An avid Red Sox fan, who loved sharing memories of being at Fenway Park with her father starting at age six, she could readily rattle off player and game statistics. She relished huge family gatherings and vacations in the Adirondack Mountains, and traveling in Europe following retirement. She was a crafty bridge player who regularly played with many friends, a talented baker, and gardener. In later years, she enjoyed the weekly “Tuesday Lunch Group” with her husband and many activities at Brandywine.

Nancy is survived by her lov ing children K r ist ina Hadinger and her husband A lfred, Chr istopher and his wife Leila Shahbender, Karen, Jonathan and his wife Kelly, Eric and his partner Stefan Steil, and Amy Sharpless and her husband Peter; as well as by nine grandchildren Jon, Alfred and his wife Juliane, Julia, Alexandra, Katherine, Justin, Morgan, Sophia, and Serena. She is also survived by her dear first cousin Doris Peakes Kendall of Cape Cod, MA, whose friendship lasted over 90 years and long distance.

Burial in All Saints’ Cemetery, Princeton was private.

A memorial service celebrating Nancy’s life will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1 Park Avenue, Rocky Hill, NJ, on Saturday, November 9 at 3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her name to the Trinity Episcopal Church Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 265, Rocky Hill, NJ 08553.

David Scott Albert David Scott Albert passed away on October 1, 2019, in Princeton, NJ, at the home he shared with his mother, Linda Powell, and stepfather, Don Powell. He was 50 years old. And despite many health challenges in recent years, he remained upbeat and savored life — touching everyone who knew him with his gentle spirit and infectious smile.

David attended Princeton Day School, the Forman School, Worcester College, and the Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University, where he earned an MSW. As a caring and compassionate therapist, he was committed to helping others find ways to cope with and overcome their struggles in life. Concern

for others came naturally to David and defined the way he moved through the world.

To his family and friends, Dave was know n for his kindness and generosit y (and for the smirk and impish glint in his eye when he was up to something). He loved to cook — and eat.

Some of his all-time favorites: blueberry pancakes, pasta with clam sauce, rack of lamb, Maine lobster, tiramisu, dark chocolate, and in general, the most expensive thing on the menu.

He was also an avid wine collector, who loved the art and science of wine, its history, how it is made, discussing and sharing it with friends and family — perhaps even more than drinking it. He made lifelong friends through his interests in wine collecting and beer brewing, and enjoyed hosting blind wine tastings at his home in PA. An accomplished gardener, Dave grew the biggest and best tomatoes on the East Coast.

The secret of his success was that he planted mostly in manure instead of soil.

A fishing enthusiast, Dave learned how to catch ‘em at the ripe old age of 5 on his first of many excursions with his Grandpa Dan. Childhood was full of adventures at “the creek,” “the canal,” and “the shore” catching all kinds of creatures — frogs, lizards, crabs, crayfish, snakes — which came home to live in a glass tank in his bedroom (and sometimes escaped to take up residence in his sister’s room, under her bed).

David’s love of fishing took him to many great “spots” throughout his life from the Delaware Raritan Canal to Canada, to Florida, to Deer Isle, in Downeast Maine, where he spent as much time as he could in a place he cherished.

Music was also an important force in Dave’s life from childhood on. As a kid, he was captivated by the mystique and high theater of the rock band, Kiss. By the time he was a teen though, he had evolved into a proud and self-proclaimed “Dead Head.” And over the next many years, he attended dozens of Grateful Dead concerts across the country, collecting recordings, anthologies, T-shirts, and other memorabilia. David never lost his enthusiasm for the band’s tunes and lyrics, despite a hearing loss later in life.

Another constant in Dave’s life was the camaraderie he found at Worcester College in Ohio among his Beta fraternity brothers who loved him dearly through many college misadventures and post- college m ilestones, laughed with him, bestowed him with nicknames “Eeyore” and “Dave the Wave” (aka “Waver”), and cheered him on through some very difficult times.

David is survived by his mother, Linda Powell; his s tepfat her, D on Powel l ; his sister, Lauren Albert; his father, Stephen Albert and his wife, Sheila; and his step-siblings, Don Powell, Jr., Sharon Powell, Ira Goldstine, and Cindi Goldstine Finley.

A memorial service celebrating Herb’s life will be held at Princeton Day School’s McAneny Theater on Saturday, October 12 at 1 p.m. PDS, 650 Great Road, Princeton.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Herb’s memory to the Princeton Area Community Foundation for the Herbert and Mary Hobler Operating Endowment.

Arrangements were made by Mather Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton, 08542.

Jewish Family & Children’s Service and The Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks, along with close to a dozen synagogues, organizations and donors in greater Mercer and Bucks Counties, will present Freedom Song, a musical that interweaves the story of Passover and personal stories of addiction.

The performance will take place on Sunday, November 3, at 2 p.m. at the NJ Hospital Association Conference Center, 760 Alexander Road. The program is free and open to the community. Teens, young adults, and parents of all faiths are welcome to attend.

Freedom Song is created

by Beit T’Shuvah, a residential addiction treatment center in Los Angeles. The p er for ma nce p os e s one stark question: “what are you a slave to? ” The cast of Freedom Song is not a cast of actors; they are actual addicts in recovery that are affiliated with Beit T’Shuvah and have broken off the shackles of drugs, alcohol, gambling, and other destructive behaviors.

By performing in Freedom Song, the interchanging cast members have an opportunity to answer questions from the audience and to share their experiences on how best to recover from a lifestyle of addiction. Using song and dance, tears and laughter, and an intense post show discussion with the cast, the show re-

that we fight every day.”

Michelle Napell, executive director of JFCS, says “this is a perfect opportunity to be open about addiction — a topic that is often associated with shame within the Jewish community. By showcasing real people who are in recovery, we hope to raise awareness of the prevalence of addiction and opportunities for recovery.”

FINANCIAL TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS It can be difficult to understand what costs are involved with buying a house if you have never gone through the process before. These tips can help you navigate homeownership and ensure that you are financially prepared for the costs: Consider all costs of homeownership. Your mortgage payment is not the only expense that you will be responsible for when owning a house--you also have to consider costs like insurance, property taxes, and repairs.

Reduce your monthly payments with a higher down payment. The more you are able to put down now, the less your monthly payments will be. Additionally, the less money you need to finance, the less interest you will pay.

Understand your closing costs. Most loans require that you bring cash to the closing table. The exact percentage will depend on your loan terms. You will also be responsible for origination fees, credit-report costs, and agent fees.

Your credit score can make a difference. If you have a low credit score, you may want to consider taking some time to work on bumping it up. By raising your score, you may be eligible for a better mortgage rate and with fewer interest costs, you can reduce your monthly mortgage payment.
