Amidst widespread calls for changes to Princeton’s current zoning regulations, the Neighborhood Character and Zoning Initiative (NC&ZI) Task Force has been hearing from different elements of the community as it prepares recommendations for both short-term and longer-term fixes. In commenting on plans for introducing a proposal for preliminary ordinances to the municipal council on November 14, task force member and Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert noted the importance of both immediate action and longer-term work on zoning regulations. “We heard from builders and architects the importance of a comprehensive review of zoning district lines and regulations to ensure that they reflect neighborhoods,” she said, referring to focus group meetings held last Thursday, “and a desire to revisit the principles in the Master Plan before tinkering with the ordinances.” The mayor continued, ”However, we heard from residents the need to move quickly to help correct some of the existing inadequacies in our current zoning that have led to out-of-character development in their neighborhoods. I believe both approaches are needed.” The goal of the NC&ZI task force, according to Ms. Lempert, is to start with a few quick fixes and also to do a comprehensive study that generates additional recommendations that will take longer to implement. Among the zoning repairs that may be considered for adoption before the end of the year, the task force, along with its consultant Mark Keener, director of Urban Design for the RBA Group of Philadelphia, has proposed: instituting a driveway setback, allowing porch encroachments, requiring a garage setback to reduce the impact of garages on the streetscape, prohibiting house repetition when a lot is subdivided, and including cathedral space when calculating FAR (floor area ratio). A third focus group will be held this Thursday, November 10, with members of Princeton boards, committees and commissions. Last week’s groups included first local professionals (builders, developers and realtors), then neighborhood residents. In addition to Ms. Lempert, NC&ZI task force members include council member Continued on Page 11

Dems, Lempert, Clinton Dominate Local Vote

Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert was elected to a second four-year term in Tuesday’s race over Republican challenger Peter Marks. Ms. Lempert, a Democrat, earned 7529 votes, while Mr. Marks got 2709, according to unofficial results at press time. In addition, voters elected Democratic Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller and newcomer Tim Quinn, also a Democrat, to two Council seats. Ms. Crumiller and Mr. Quinn, who were unopposed, will serve three-year terms. In the national election, Princeton voters cast 8562 ballots in favor of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, 1579 for Republican Donald Trump, 262 for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 158 for Jill Stein of the Green Party. Ms. Crumiller was on Princeton Borough Council before being elected to Princeton Council after the 2013 consolidation, which she supported. She has served on the town’s planning board, the information technology committee, the ordinance harmonization committee, the traffic and transportation committee, and the public works committee. She is a 25-year resident of Princeton. Mr. Quinn, also a Princeton resident for 25 years, served two terms on Princeton’s school board, including one as president. He is the communications director for Princeton Public

Library. Mr. Quinn was an editor at the Trenton Times for several years before joining the library’s staff in 2000. Ms. Lempert served on the Township Committee before being elected to the office of mayor of consolidated Princeton in 2013. Elected to the three available seats on School Board for Princeton Public Schools were Debbie Bronfeld with 4753 votes, Gregory Stankiewicz with 3689 votes, and

William Hare with 3454 votes. Alex Martin received 3103 votes in his unsuccessful bid for a School Board seat. The three elected newcomers will replace outgoing board members Molly Chrein, Tom Hagedorn, and current board president Andrea Spalla, who will be stepping down when their terms expire at the end of the year. —Anne Levin —Donald Gilpin

Middle East Scholars to Discuss Impact of U.S. Election Results As the dust clears from bitterly contested U.S. elections, prominent Middle East scholars and policy experts will gather Thursday at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School (WWS) to discuss what the election results mean for the Israeli-Palestine peace process. Guest speakers at the 7 p.m. forum in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall will include Shai Feldman, director of the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University, and Khalil Shikaki, political science professor and director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, Palestine.

Daniel C. Kurtzer, U.S. ambassador to Israel from 2001 to 2005, U.S. ambassador to Egypt from 1997 to 2001 and currently professor of Middle Eastern Policy Studies at WWS, will introduce the topic and speakers for the discussion that will be moderated by Princeton politics professor Amaney A. Jamal, director of the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice and director of the Workshop on Arab Political Development at Princeton University. Commenting on the good fortune of getting two such well known and credible speakers, Mr. Kurtzer stated that the Continued on Page 11

The United Nations estimates that over 10,000 Yemenis have died in the war, more than 2.5 million have become internal refugees, and an overwhelming number of people face famine conditions. Why is the United States enabling Saudi Arabia’s war? Seeking answers, our distinguished panelists will discuss US-Saudi relations, geopolitical rivalry, modern sectarianism, and the suffering of Yemeni people.

Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison will come to Princeton on April 27 to be honored by Womanspace for her efforts to shed light on child sexual abuse through her “Fearless” Foundation. The two-time medalist in Judo will be given the 23rd annual Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award at an event be held at the Westin. Ms. Harrison made history at the 2016 Olympics in Rio by winning her second gold medal by any American (man or woman) in the history of the sport of judo. Her first gold medal was won at the 2012 London Olympics. At the age of 16, Ms. Harrison revealed the fact that she had been sexually abused for years by her coach. After the story came to light, she moved from Ohio to Massachusetts to train with Jimmy Pedro, a two-time Olympic Bronze medalist and his father Jim Pedro, Sr. The Pedros became her coaches but also her surrogate family. Ms. Harrison has used her Olympic platform to speak out about child sexual abuse and advocate for others to do the same. She also summoned the courage to face her abuser, delivering a victim impact statement at his sentencing hearing in Federal Court in Ohio. Her story has captivated audiences everywhere and has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, USA Today, Time Magazine, The Today Show, CNN, MSNBC, among many others. Ms. Harrison was awarded the 2012 OC Tanner Inspiration Award, The Women’s Sports Foundation’s Wilma Rudolph Courage Award; was named one of Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year for 2012, Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonian of the Year, and the Boston Sportswriter’s Association Athlete of the Year. She created the Fearless Foundation to shine a light on the darkness that is child sexual abuse and to enrich the lives of survivors through education and sport,

Correction In the November 2, 2016 issue of Town Topics, the article “Local Resident Will Be At the Polls For Her 20th Presidential Election” incorrectly mentioned the date of Laura Wooten’s first time working at the polls.

Main Street Cafe and Bakery to Close, Will Reopen as PJ’s Pancake House Main Street Cafe, a fixture at Kingston’s main intersection on Route 27 since 1984, is closing at the end of this month to make room for a branch of PJ’s Pancake House. The new restaurant/ bakery, run by the Gretalia Hospitality Group, is scheduled to open in February

2017 af ter an extensive renovation. G retalia par t ner Joh n Procaccini said loyal Main Street patrons will still be able to find at least some of the dishes they know and like when the transition is completed. “We’ll work with them to keep some of the favorites they have,” he said.

“At the end of the day, they do have a good following. So we’ll put some of their stuff on our menu. We’re not looking for a lot of change and we’re hoping to keep all of their current customers.” The new restaurant will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. An on-premises bakery will create pastries, artisan breads, and cakes. Current employees of Main Street, most of whom have been with the cafe for decades, have been told they are welcome to remain and work in the new eatery. “We’ll keep all of them. We met with them yesterday,” Mr. Procaccini said last week. “They’re excited to stay on board with us. A lot of our customers are also their customers, and they’ve said to us, ‘Don’t get rid of those ladies.’” The four-year-old Gretalia Group owns PJ’s Pancake House on Nassau Street and a branch in West Windsor. Also in the firm’s portfolio are Osteria Procaccini, which has locations in Kingston and Pennington; and Trattoria Procaccini, Porta Via, and Dolceria, all on Nassau Street. The Fenwick Hospitality Group, which owns Agricola, the Great Road Farm, and Dinky Bar & Kitchen, purchased The Main Street Restaurant Group earlier this year. The Main Street company also includes a catering operation in Rocky Hill, which Fenwick has upgraded, and the restaurant Main Street Bistro in Princeton Shopping Center. “We face a neces s ar y change with the sale of the building, but are happy to see a locally owned eatery sharing a similar outlook moving into Kingston,” said Jim Nawn, the Fenwick Hospitality Group’s owner, in a printed statement. “We will

continue to cater and serve the Princeton community having invested heavily in our long term operations.” The building is being purchased by Princeton international Properties, and Gretalia Group is leasing it from them, said Mr. Procaccini. According to George Luck, vice-president of the Kingston Historical Society, the Main Street building dates from the 1880s, when it replaced an earlier structure on the site, a tavern called The Sign of the Mermaid. “William Van Tilburg ran it during the Revolutionary War time, from 1750 till he passed away in 1802,” Mr. Luck said. “It was on the same foundation of the current building. It was a tavern and an inn, with rooms. It was always kind of a stopping place. George Washington had some of his life guard put up there.”

In later years, the location housed a store called Peebles and the Kingston Food Market before opening as Main Street Cafe. Heidi Karbownik, who has worked at the cafe for 17 years along with several family members, said the upcoming closing and reopening are bittersweet. “On a personal note, we’re sad about the end of this place,” she said. “But we’re very excited about the Procaccinis. We’re thankful to them. They’re family people and so are we. So it’s the end of an era — one door closes, the other opens.

Question of the Week:

“What was your favorite part of the 2016 Princeton Half-Marathon’s course?” (Photographs by Charles R. Plohn)

“I liked going up Washington Road even though it’s a huge hill. I’m a Princeton University student and a lot of my friends and family were lined up along that part of the route. It was really motivating. And I’m part of the running club. We usually do intervals up that hill, so it felt like home.” —Lindy Zeng, Freemont, Calif., Class of 2018

“Just focusing on the beautiful light up through the trees. The weather was perfect. The hills were a challenge. If I was in better shape I’d be really loving them. So, my favorite part today was finishing. It felt awesome.” —Jennifer Simpson, Westfield, N.J.

“I like the trails. The trails the first few miles along the battlefield were great. I kind of just pretend I’m out on a run in the woods. It felt really good. It’s prime time with the fall foliage.” —Sam Harris, Charleston, W.V., Class of 2017

“My favorite part was Washington Road because I was feeling good at that point. I’m from North Carolina so I actually like hills.” —Bart Oliver, Princeton

BOOK REVIEW

On Turgenev’s Birthday: Rereading “Fathers and Sons,” the Book That Created a Storm

’ve been looking at a photograph of the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev, who was born on this day, November 9, in 1818. What interests me about the photo, which isn’t clear enough to be reproduced here, is the unorthodox pose. He’s seated with one leg tucked under the other with a book propped on the thigh of the tuckedunder leg. There’s a suggestion of amusement in his expression that seems to say, “Hello, whoever you are, let’s agree about the absurdity of humans striking poses and be comfortable together in the moment. We’re all in this together.” Turgenev seems less the victim of the photographic situation than his more renowned countrymen Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, both of whom look far from comfortable in the poses for which they’re best known. That said, more familiar portraits of Turgenev like the one on this page show a handsome, white-haired, white-bearded gentleman of a certain age, imprisoned in the moment. My sense is that the man with one leg tucked under the other is closer to the writer that Henry James was referring to in 1883 on the occasion of Turgenev’s death. Recalling their first meeting in 1875, James says, “I found him adorable … and he remained the most approachable, the most practicable, the least unsafe man of genius it has been my fortune to meet. He was so simple, so natural, so modest, so destitute of personal pretension and of what is called the consciousness of powers, that one almost doubted at moments whether he were a man of genius after all.” You never know with James, but he seems to be implying that his friend was somehow almost too nice, too humane, to be a genius. Writing three decades later, Joseph Conrad expressed his fondness for Turgenev in similar terms (“the clearest mind, the warmest heart, the largest sympathy”) while pointing out that in spite of “the loftiness of his character, the purity of his motives, and the peace of his conscience,” he had been, in effect, “beaten with sticks during the greater part of his existence.” Even when he was dead, “Revolutionists went on for a time flinging after his shade those jeers and curses from which that impartial lover of all his countrymen had suffered so much in his lifetime.” The Bazarov Effect The hostility Conrad describes was provoked by Turgenev’s most famous creation, the arrogant young nihilist Bazarov in Fathers and Sons (1862), which, as Isaiah Berlin observes, “caused the greatest storm among its Russian readers of any novel before or, indeed, since.” Publisher Thomas Seltzer’s introduction to my ancient, disintegrating Modern Library edition of the book is in agreement that “no event in the literary history of Russia ever created such a stir.” The mixture of “indignation and applause” it aroused “brought a crisis to Turgenev’s own life,” for “the

indignation came from his friends,” the applause from his enemies. Set off by conflicting responses to a character who was viewed by some as the first Bolshevik in Russian literature, the furor was such that it’s said to have influenced Turgenev’s decision to leave Russia to spend his last decades on the continent. Considering the power exerted by beautiful women in his work, however, it’s more likely that Turgenev wanted to be near the love of his life, the opera singer Pauline Viardot. Given that he was more comfortable with writers like James and Flaubert, it’s no wonder that Russian writers disparaged Turgenev’s self-imposed exile. It’s amusing

but not surprising to learn that Fathers and Sons, a classic of Russian literature, was conceived while he was “taking sea baths” on the Isle of Wight. Dissecting Frogs According to Turgenev’s own account of the genesis of the character, Bazarov was modeled on “the striking personality of a young provincial doctor” in whom he saw “the beginning of that which, as yet scarely born and still in a state of ferment, afterwards received the name of nihilism.” Turgenev makes Bazarov’s subversive presence felt before anything about him or his nihilist beliefs has been stated. When his friend and disciple Arkady’s humane,

well-meaning if occasionally sentimental father Nikolai begins to quote some lines from Pushkin (“Spring, spring, sweet time of love!”), Bazarov interrupts him to ask for a match to light his pipe. Later he mentions to Arkady how his father “wastes his time reading poetry.” When Bazarov asks “Did you notice how shy and nervous he is?”, Arkady shakes his head “as though he himself were not shy and nervous.” Bazarov goes on to point out how “these old idealists … develop their nervous systems till they break down.” No doubt quite a few Pushkin-quoting old idealists took offense at that casually tossed-off generalization. As he settles in as a guest in Arkady’s

household, Bazarov displays his contempt for polite society, art, aesthetics, and decorum, while devoting himself to “pure science,” which consists of examining insect life and capturing and dissecting frogs. Returning home one day from a walk, Arkady is admiring the fields and “the soft light of the sun” when Bazarov delivers one of his characteristic edicts, declaring that “Nature’s not a temple but a workshop and man’s the workman in it.” As he says those words, “the long drawn notes of a violoncello” float out to them from the house. It’s Arkady’s father playing Schubert’s Expectation “with much feeling, though with an untrained hand,” the melody flowing “with honey sweet-

ness through the air.” Startled at first, Bazarov asks Arkady how old his father is and bursts into laughter when he hears, amused by the idea of “a man of fortyfour, a paterfamilias in this out of the way district” playing the cello. As Bazarov laughs, Arkady does not “even smile.” This is the first clear disconnect between the disciple and the master. It’s also a Turgenev moment — the sound of music on the air, coming almost as if by magic. The choice of Schubert’s Expectation makes sense in the context of the scene, since the title refers to the song Schubert set to a poem by Schiller celebrating love and nature. By now you’re aware that in Turgenev’s world love and beauty and humanity will carry the day. The Reading Environment It’s pleasantly unsettling to be reading Fathers and Sons again in the Modern Library edition that has my own crude notes in the margin, made when I was a college sophomore. My comments would seem to signify a muted enthusiasm compared to the superlatives and exclamation points I lavished on Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov, both read in the same spring, probably the single most blissful reading period of my life. Where Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are hailed with penciled “Yeses!” and “Greats!,” I find only a single “Yes!” penciled after what may be the most explicitly sentimental passage in Fathers in Sons: “No one who has not seen those tears in the eyes of the beloved, knows yet to what a point, faint with shame and gratitude, a man may be happy on this earth.” It’s possible that my first, relatively lowkey college-age reaction is a reflection of Turgenev’s secondary stature among literary gods like Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, who was born two days and three years after Turgenev. Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov were like juggermauts, not books so much as experiences. Perhaps Turgenev would be as celebrated and as read in 2016 as Tolstoy or Dostoevsky had he written one of those “large loose and baggy monsters, with their queer elements of the accidental and the arbitrary” that Henry James famously describes in reference to Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Instead, Turgenev is the sort of writer James has in mind when he ends his peroration by expressing his “delight in deep-breathing economy and an organic form.” n my own sophomoric way, I seem to have been in synch with James. After the rhapsodic concluding paragraph of Fathers and Sons and one of the most moving death scenes in all literature, I’ve proclaimed in my 19-year-old scribble: “He has said more in 243 pages than many great writers manage to say in 700.” The portrait of Turgenev was painted in 1872 by Vasily Perov. —Stuart Mitchner

key issues at the forum are likely to be “whether the new president will take an active interest in resolving the conflict,” what the U.S. w ill do in the meantime in the Middle East “if the new president chooses not to play a role in working towards resolution,” and “what our current president might do in his last t wo months after the election. Will he make a big speech to tr y to promote a new resolution at the U.N.?” Author of numerous publications, including six books on conflict and peacemaking in the Middle East, Mr. Feldman was head of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv Universit y from 1997 to 2005 and a member of the U.N. Secretary General’s Advisor y Board on Disar mament Matters from 2001 to 2003. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Harvard’s Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and an associate fellow of the Royal United Services Institute in London. Described by Mr. Kurtzer as “the leading pollster in Pa le s t i ne ”whos e “p ol ls are used by governments a r ou n d t h e worl d ,” M r. Shikaki has conducted hundreds of polls among Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and, working jointly with Israeli colleagues, he has conducted dozens of joint polls among Israelis and Palestinians. He has taught at several Palestinian and American universities. His research has focused on Palestinian state building, transitioning to democracy, public opinion, and the impact of domestic Palestinian politics on the peace process. A senior fellow at t he Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Mr. Shikaki has written numerous articles and books and is coauthor, with Mr. Feldman a n d Ab d el Mon e m S a id

Aly, of the 2013 book Arabs and Israelis: Conflict and Peacemaking in the Middle East. In commenting on likely directions for Thursday’s d i s c u s s ion, Mr. Ku r t z e r pointed out a sharp difference between the Democratic and Republican campaig ns. “T he Tr u mp campaign,” he said,” has indicated they are not interested in working to resolve the conflict, but rather in taking sides and promoting Israeli interests,” as opp os e d to t h e Cl i nton campaign, which “has been more convent ional in discussing the two-state solution and the possibility of a resolution between the two sides, though they have provided few additional details.” Mr. Kurzer added that, though both candidates had met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visited the United Nations in September, Ms. Clinton’s “level of understanding and experience is exponentially deeper than Tr ump’s.” He mentioned that Ms. Clinton — as first lady, as U.S. Senator, and as secretary of state — had met of ten w ith both Mr. Netanyahu and with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. “ W hat wou ld help t he most,” Mr. Kurtzer speculated in looking ahead to the elections, “is if Democrats regain control of the Senate and the House. That would give President Clinton the power to pursue her foreign policy agenda.” He noted, however, that “we are only a third party and the big question is whether the two sides — Israelis and Palestinians — are willing to move forward.” Thursday’s event, part of the Conversations About Peace lecture series that is jointly sponsored by WWS and the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice, is free and open to the public. —Donald Gilpin

Mailbox Juvenile Black Bear Sighted in August Remains Interested in Our Neighborhood

To the Editor: Residents in the northern part of Princeton should be advised that the juvenile black bear sighted in August in the vicinity of Cherry Hill Road and Montadale Drive is still in the immediate area. While the media has lost interest in the story, the bear appears to remain stubbornly interested in our neighborhood. It has caused property damage and has raided garbage cans and bird feeders over the past several months, which begins to define it as a nuisance bear that is becoming habituated to humans. We have notified NJDEP/Fish and Wildlife and the Animal Control Officer, but it is largely up to us as residents to take steps to discourage the bear from deciding to make the Princeton Ridge its home. We can make a difference by ensuring that there are no sources of food in our yards. Bird feeders are a prominent target as are garbage cans left out overnight and piles of acorns. Consider taking down feeders for now (the birds will be fine) and putting out your garbage cans in the morning rather than leaving them outside on the street. Do not leave pet food outside. This bear is capable of climbing a wire deer fence and breaking into containers in search of food. Fish and Wildlife has also advised that hanging towels or rags soaked with ammonia may also discourage bear activity. Bears are crepuscular, so they are much more likely to be active at dawn and dusk and less likely to be seen in broad daylight. By taking these precautions, we can help persuade the bear to move on to other areas. For more information on bear safety, see www.state. nj.us/dep/fgw/bearfacts.htm. T. Jeffery Clarke Balcort Drive

The Community Truly Comes Together for Housing Initiatives of Princeton Rent Party

To the Editor: Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) held its annual Rent Party on Saturday, October 22, where over 120 people gathered to enjoy food, drinks, and music while raising money to help HIP provide transitional housing with supportive services for working families who are facing homelessness and to provide emergency rental assistance for those who need a one-time payment for a security deposit or for back rent. A big thank you to all of our supporters, attendees, and the more than 30 sponsors of the event! In addition to the all-volunteer HIP board who worked tirelessly to make the event a success, HIP has a bunch of people to thank: Lydia and Johan Pfeiffer for hosting us in the beautiful Grover Cleveland house; our incredibly talented caterer, Blawenberg Café; Tap Tap Caribbean/ American Cuisines for the incredible desserts; Anne Fahey, for the fantastic invitations; Jennifer Cohan for vigorously planning and promoting the event; Pam Hersh for her appealing press release; Anna Brouwer for staffing the Giving House so expertly; our brave bartender, Ben Dixon; Applied Harmony, the awesome jazz band that serenaded us through the night; Paul Jeanes, auctioneer extraordinaire, and Derrick Avila and Abel Onofre for directing all of our attendees to parking. And, last but not least, thank you to Mira DeMartino, Anja Zimmermann, and Ralph Neuneier, and the Bent Spoon for their generous donations to our live auction.

Post-Election Recognition for Mayor’s Leadership, Support of Princeton’s Youth

To the Editor As generational residents of Princeton, we remember hearing our parents debate whether the two former Princetons could ever become one Princeton. Although our parents and grandparents did not live to see the merger, we are proud that we have experienced its success, which we attribute in large part to Mayor Liz Lempert’s diligent and even-handed guidance. Mayor Lempert also has impacted our lives in other ways. In our capacity as presidents of Committed and Faithful Princetonians (CFP), a YMCA-based group committed to preparing youth for a life of high achievement, Mayor Lempert encouraged us to have CFP children participate in various issues important to the community, such as providing their input about changes to Mary Moss Park in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. Mayor Lempert also has supported other efforts, such as CFP’s community service project for landscaping at Redding Circle, commending the youth group on their hard work. In general, Mayor Lempert has been great for the youth of Princeton. She has established a Youth Advisory Committee so that our leaders and officials can see our community through the eyes of our youth and respond to their input. Our mayor is not just a mayor but a friend to the community. Larry and Fern Spruill Oak Lane Princeton

Yes We CAN! Food Drives Is Asking the Community To Donate Fresh or Frozen Turkeys for Our Neighbors

To the Editor: Each month, 4,000 people in Princeton and Trenton use the three food pantries operated by Arm in Arm, formerly The Crisis Ministry, to supplement their need for adequate food supplies for themselves and their families. These pantries offer free food and nutritional advice to those with low incomes, the unemployed, veterans, the elderly and, sadly, many, many children. When Thanksgiving rolls around, the need for extra food becomes even more poignant. Who wouldn’t want a turkey as the centerpiece of their festivities? Unfortunately, Arm in Arm doesn’t have enough funds or donated turkeys to provide all those who wish one. Hence, the purpose of this letter. Yes We CAN! Food Drives, a volunteer group that collects food for the needy, is asking the community to donate either fresh or frozen turkeys for our neighbors. The turkeys will then be added to the supply and distributed to the clients by lottery number. The more turkeys, the more who will win a turkey (at no cost to them, of course). Our Yes We CAN! volunteers will be collecting the turkeys on Saturday, November 19, from 9 to 1, on the final day of the season at the West Windsor Farmers’ Market. Should you wish to donate cash, our volunteers will buy turkeys on your behalf from a local supermarket. Look for our Yes We CAN! tent at the farmers’ market, which is located off Alexander Road on Vaughn Drive, on the way to the train station. Parking is free. Thank you for your support.

Doing the Meter Math Breeds Discontent In User of the Griggs Corner Parking Lot

To the Editor: Recently I was issued an overtime parking violation in the Griggs Corner parking lot. It turns out that the new “improved” parking meters no longer grant a 10-minute grace period, unlike all of the other meters in Princeton. The ticket was issued at 11:59 a.m.; I was back at the car at 12:01 p.m.; missed it by two minutes, well within the ten-minute grace period that is no longer granted. I discovered this the next day when I walked to the lot, found an expired meter and deposited a nickel. The meter displayed 2 minutes, counted down to 1 minute, then expired — no grace period. However, I noticed that the 2 minutes seemed to go by too quickly, so I deposited yet another nickel and timed the countdown with my watch. The display started at 2 minutes as before, but in only about 40 seconds went to 1 minute, then 60 seconds later displayed “Expired.” Then I did the math: the rate is $1.75/hour, which translates to 20.57 seconds/cent. So a nickel actually buys you 5 times that, i.e., 103 seconds, which is 1 minute and 43 seconds. Therefore although the meter displays 2 minutes, it actually gives you only 1 minute and 43 seconds. A worse case occurs if one deposits 15 cents. In that case the display shows 6 minutes, but you only get 5 minutes and 9 seconds. So in the time it takes you to make a note of the time and walk away thinking you have 6 minutes, you actually have 5. Makes it easy to get an overtime parking violation. Either way, I would call the meter display “deceptive.” (I’m guessing that the reason for the previously granted generous 10-minute grace period was to avoid this issue). But wait, there’s more: it turns out that as of July 1 this year, the municipality of Princeton no longer operates the Griggs Corner lot (check www.princetonnj.gov/parking. html), but it does enforce the meter usage using the Parking Enforcement Unit. Does this make Princeton complicit in the deception? Although my parking violation was dismissed, I still had to pay a $20 court fee. One might argue that all overtime

parking violation fines (and court fees) should automatically be dismissed until this issue is addressed. I have now spent enough time, effort, and money researching this. I leave it in the hands of the legal professionals and the politicians. Thank you for your time. Michael Diesso Harrison Street P.S. I would like my $20 court fee back. P.P.S. The phrase “Boycott the Lot” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

“Soirée Under the Stars” Gala Raises Over $50,000 for Princeton-Blairstown

To the Editor: The Princeton-Blairstown Center’s (PBC) second annual Soirée Under the Stars gala held Sept. 30 at Springdale Golf Club in Princeton raised more than $50,000 for PBC, and more specifically for our Summer Bridge Program, which addresses the “summer learning gap” for at-risk youth. PBC participant, Mehki J., an 8th grader from Trenton, spoke about his experience during the Summer Bridge Program and won the crowd over with his description of his time at the Blairstown Campus. The culminating event of the evening was presenting the Frank Broderick Award to Dr. William A. Massey, the Edwin S. Wilsey Professor in the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton University. The Frank Broderick Award is given to an individual who has demonstrated a commitment to social justice, compassion, and selflessness — qualities that supported Dr. Broderick in his courageous efforts to achieve racial integration of PBC’s predecessor organization, the Princeton Summer Camp, and to mobilize those who advocated for racial integration of Princeton University in the 1940s. PBC seeks to transform the lives of vulnerable young people through integrated experiential and adventurebased programming in schools and at our outdoor campus. We collaborate with schools, university partners, and community-based agencies to develop in youth a deepened self-awareness, responsible decision-making, teamwork, and leadership skills. Our volunteers strive for a future in which young people exhibit personal resilience and compassion, embrace expanded possibilities for their lives, and enact positive change within their communities and the world. We would like to thank the 140 guests who came out in support of the work we do for vulnerable youth.

Art Upcoming Photo Exhibition at PSRC

The Princeton Senior Resource Center is hosting an exhibition of photographs taken around the world by Arthur Firestone. The title of the show, “Being There,” reflects the photographer’s self-described desire to connect with and explore the people, wildlife, and physical beauty he encounters while traveling. The exhibition will be on view from November 14 through December 9. A retired educator, school administrator, author, and organizational consultant, Mr. Firestone has been involved with photography as both a teacher and a photographer since the early 1960s. His travels have taken him to France, Italy, Tanzania, New Orleans, and to cities across the United States. This exhibition reveals Mr. Firestone’s dedication to composition and sense of place: line, color, shape, and texture exert themselves in his “portraits” of the landscape, flora and fauna, both capturing the essence and underscoring the provenance of his subject. The public is invited to Meet and Greet the Photographer on Monday, November 21, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Suzanne Patterson Building, 45 Stockton Street, Princeton. A portion of the proceeds from sales will benefit PSRC. For questions and more information, please call PSRC at (609)

PSRC is the Princeton area’s resource where older adults and their families find support, guidance, educational, and social programs to help navigate life transitions and continue to be active, healthy, and engaged in the community.

Equitable access to clean water throughout the United States, and the influencing political and environmental factors, will be addressed at a panel discussion today, November 9, at Robertson Hall, Bowl 016, on the Princeton University campus from 4:30–6:30 p.m. The free public event is sponsored by Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. The panel is being held in conjunction with the art exhibit, “The Politics of Water,” on display until December, 9 in the Bernstein Gallery at Robertson Hall. A reception in the gallery will follow the panel. Water sources throughout the United States are affected by both environmental and man-made factors, including the ongoing drought in California, lead contamination in Flint and other towns, the over-allocation of the Colorado River, and toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie. The

version of 1948’s Federal Water Pollution Control Act) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (1974) govern water pollution and ensure safe drinking water. What do these two major federal laws seek to achieve? And how successful are they? Panelists Jonathan C. Kaledin, executive vice president/ general counsel, Natural Systems Utilities; and Peter R. Jaffe, professor, department of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton will discuss our country’s water sources and how the federal government and states are working together to ensure equitable access to clean water for all.

New Art Exhibit at Healing Gallery at UMCP

University Medical Center of Princeton (UMCP) will host a wine and cheese reception on Friday, November 18, to mark the opening of Sacred Understory, an exhibit of drawings by artist and environmentalist Patricia Brentano. The reception is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Art for Healing Gallery, which is located in the con-

course connecting UMCP to the Medical Arts Pavilion and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center. If you plan to attend, please RSVP at www.princetonhcs. org/art by Friday, November 11.

Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, California, and Arizona. Her work also is included in the permanent art collection at UMCP. The collection was acquired over several years, and the artworks are displayed throughout the hospital as part of the Art for Healing program. Research shows that viewing art can help alleviate anxiety and stress, reduce blood pressure, shorten hospital stays, and even limit the need for pain medication. The Art for Healing Gallery, made possible by a generous donation from Princeton Anesthesia Services, features rotating exhibits of work by artists whose work is in the permanent Art for Healing collection. Artworks in the gallery are available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds benefits the hospital. For more information, visit www.princetonhcs. org.

Music and Theater Violin Teacher in Trenton and Princeton Is a Product of Famed El Sistema Program In a cluttered classroom at Trenton’s Grace A. Dunn Middle School, seven girls and one boy stand in a circle, violins in hand. It has been barely a month since they began learning the basics of the instrument. But “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” which they are playing along with their teacher, is sounding pretty good. The students are urged on by José Gregorio Sanchez Rodriguez, who issues gentle but firm commands from the middle of the circle. In quick succession, they try out different rhythms of the familiar tune. “Vamos ! [‘Come on’ in Spanish],” he says ( Dunn is a bilingual school). “We have to set up the hand first so the fingers know where they belong. We have to be ready!” It is the end of a school day, but the students, who have been assigned the instruments for the school year, keep up the quick pace of the drill. Mr. Rodriguez’s enthusiasm is clearly contagious. Getting kids fired up about music is a goal of Trenton Music Makers, a collabora-

tion between the Trenton Community Music School a nd t he Trenton P ublic Schools. The program began last year with 45 children at the Grant Elementary School. This year, 70 are taking part. Dunn, where 24 students are studying violin, viola, cello, and drumming, was added this fall. The program follows the lead of El Sistema, a highly successful music education program for underserved children, founded in Venezuela 41 years ago. Of the eight instructors on the Trenton teaching team, Mr. Rodriguez is perhaps the most uniquely qualified. The 53-year-old native of Venezuela is a product of El Sistema, which he credits with altering the direction of his life. “If not for that program, I could never have been able to do what I do today,” he said. “My life changed completely. I believe in the power of music because I have experienced it myself.” Mr. Rodriguez was eight months old when his very young mother left him with her parents. His grandpar-

ents raised him in a little village called Cubiro. “I was a very sick child,” he recalled. “When I was about five, I was left in the hospital. I started to sing. I discovered I could make a little money because the nurses would pay me. After I started school a year or so later, my grandfather gave me a cuatro, a fourstring guitar. From then on, I accompanied myself.” The little boy became a folk musician, singing on weekends at the restaurant w h e re h i s g r a n d m ot h e r worked. “People called me ‘El Cantante’ in the village. I would wear my only suit,” he said. “Later on, I played and sang in school. I was also on the radio.” When he was 14, Mr. Rodriguez took part in a choir festival at school. The conductor of another choir at the event noticed his talent and sent him a note, asking him to get in touch. “I called him from the only phone in town,” Mr. Rodriguez said. “He asked me if I would be interested in studying music in Quibar, where they were starting one of the El Sistema programs. So

that was my introduction to studying music.” T h e t e e n a g e r, w h o s e grandfather had died four years earlier, ended up moving in with a family in Quibar. He was introduced to Jose Anotnio Abreu, the founder of El Sistema. “He was impressed by the fact that I was an orphan kid,” Mr. Rodriguez said. “He asked me what instrument I’d like to play, and I said violin. I got a scholarship and started traveling to Caracas to study there. Then, everything started happening so rapidly.” By 18, Mr. Rodriguez was a member of El Sistema’s Simon Bolivar Orchestra. He began traveling with the acclaimed group, performing in concert halls across the globe. “In three years, I went from living in a little village to playing with this famous orchestra,” he said. “It was the first time I encountered direction. The whole experience changed me; it opened my mind.” Mr. Rodriguez decided to apply to The Juilliard School in Manhattan, and was accepted. It was while studying there that he took his first course in the Suzuki method, which aims to create an environment for learning music which parallels the linguistic environment of acquiring a native language. He was immediately captivated. “I had always liked teaching. And I was fascinated by how little kids would learn to play an instrument,” Mr. Rodriguez said. “I started using the method and thinking of ways to combine it with what I learned at El Sistema. I identify with it very much because of my own experience as a child, making music without knowing how to read music. It’s about ear development, and I believe in this approach. I have applied it to my own way of teaching.” Mr. Ro dr ig u ez e ar ne d undergraduate and graduate degrees at Juilliard. He spent time playing with an orchestra in Mexico, where he also started a chlldren’s orchestra, before moving back to the United States to teach with the El Sistemainspired Play on Philly program in Philadelphia. He stayed for three years. He m ove d to Tre nton

Rodriguez also teaches at Westminster Conservatory in Princeton. in August. Mr. Rodriguez is teaching at Princeton’s Westminster Conservatory of Music as well as the Grant and Dunn schools. While he is enthusiastic about Trenton Music Makers, he hopes to see more parents get involved. “We need to educate parents and get them engaged,” he said. “More people should know the benefits of studying music. The evidence is out there. It makes a difference in children’s lives.” —Anne Levin

next to Kelsey Theatre, on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Billed as “The Trial of the Century” and fueled by a voracious press, the sensational case against Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb has remained a source of fas ci nat ion a l mos t 10 0 years later, perhaps because it possesses a host of riveting elements — seduction, deception, and murder. Set in a courtroom with flashbacks that shed light on the men behind the crime, the play’s central questions loom large : How cou ld two bright young men with promising futures commit a brutal crime as an intellectual exercise? Could the adventure of committing the murder truly trump their humanity? Theatre Program Coordinator Jody Gazenbeek-Person cites multiple reasons for selecting Never the Sinner as one of two student productions this fall. The playwright, John Logan, is a contemporary playwright/ screenwriter and the creator of the hit Showtime series Penny Dreadful. The show features Patrick Martin of Hamilton as Leopold; E. Lukas DiGiacomo of Lawrenceville as Loeb; and, in a special appearance, Ruper t Hinton of Princeton as defense attorney Clarence Darrow. Max Tootleman of East Windsor is Robert Crowe, the state’s attorney. The reporters are played by Amy Annucci of Ewing, Christan Ellis of Trenton, Fransico Javier Estrada of Lawrenceville, and Pierce Hittelman of Bordentown. The show is directed by MCCC T h e at r e a lu m n a Deena Jiles-Shu’aib, with choreography by Gazenbeek-Person. Lighting and sound are by Entertainment Technology students. Tickets are $18 for adults; $16 for seniors, and $14 for students/children, and may be purchased online at www.kelseytheatre.net or by calling the Kelsey box office at (609) 570-3333.

Romantic Comedy “Out of the City” Opens Passage Theatre Season, With Focus on Middle-Age, Marriage, Friendships, and Mortality

t least since A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s “out-of-thecity” play set in ancient Athens and the surrounding forest, leaving the structured, rule-bound urban world for a sojourn in the unconstrained world of nature has been a risky proposition, bringing about all sorts of romantic upheavals, shifting relationships, and surprising transformations of identity. Leslie Ayvazian’s Out of the City (2014), a sort of mid-summer night’s dream for two contemporary middle-aged couples spending a weekend in the Poconos, is no exception. Produced by Passage Theatre and playing at Mill Hill Playhouse in Trenton through November 20, this very funny, appealing, and somewhat unsettling romantic comedy is full of sharp, credible dialogue, shifting relationships, and constant, often unexpected questioning of marriage, friendship, gender, and — not surprisingly — what comes next when you’re 60 years old, you’ve been married for more than 30 years, and you’re confronting your own mortality. The thoroughly professional, veteran cast of four, under the sure-handed direction of Murphy Davis, is excellent. Their comic timing is flawless, and the balance of comedy and serious drama works effectively to deliver 80 uninterrupted minutes of engaging, entertaining theater. All possess impressive acting credits from TV to Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regional theater. A widely produced author of eight fulllength and seven one-act plays, Ms. Ayvazian displays her gift for humorous dialogue, along with serious, sympathetic, credible characterization, as both playwright and performer (here in the role of the birthday girl Carol). She appeared last spring in McCarter Theatre’s world premiere production of All the Days. Out of the City takes place over one

weekend in the living room of a bedand-breakfast. Jill (June Ballinger), an outdoors woman and adventuress who’s always traveling to exotic spots, has arranged this sojourn in the Poconos for the birthday of her friend Carol (Ms. Ayvazian). Jill’s husband Dan (Ken Land) and Carol’s husband Matt (Grant Shaud) go along, more or less willingly. Carol is a city girl, edgy, outspoken, somewhat out of her element in the Poconos. The fact that she suffers from occasional disequilibrium caused by dislodged crystals in her ear is emblematic of a certain uncertainty and insecurity at this point in her life. The two women present an interesting contrast in character,

but both clearly care for their husbands, and both face difficulties and doubts in their marriages. The characterizations are three-dimensional, and their relationship, as it develops over the course of the weekend, is intriguing. The male characters are less fully developed, more stereotypical, but very funny. Matt, who has taken a fall and injured his arm, is determined to prove his masculinity. In one humorous scene, despite Carol’s protestations, he obsessively throws rock after rock, trying to hit a log in the middle of the lake. Dan, a high school basketball coach who has issues with his wife’s constant traveling, is also trying to connect in a marital relationship that has

BIRTHDAY SURPRISES: (L to R) Matt (Grant Shaud), Jill (June Ballinger), Carol (Leslie Ayvazian), and Dan (Ken Land) leave the city for a weekend at a bed-and-breakfast in the Poconos to celebrate Carol’s 60th birthday, and they find themselves in unexpected, unsettling emotional territory in Passage Theatre’s production of Leslie Ayvazian’s “Out of the City,” playing through November 20 at the Mill Hill Playhouse in Trenton. (Photo by Michael Goldstein) Leslie Ayvazian’s “Out of the City” will run through November 20 at the Mill Hill Playhouse, 205 East Front Street in Trenton.

gotten off track. Despite occasional moments and lines that don’t quite ring true, these four characters come across as delightfully human and appealing in their struggles to understand themselves and to connect with each other. Despite, or maybe because of, eccentricities in their personality and behavior, it is not hard to care about and relate closely to these individuals. Set design by Susan DeConcini, with lighting by Paul Kilsdonk, provides a realistic depiction of the slightly run-down bed-and-breakfast, with worn wicker furniture, baskets, and an eclectic array of tchotchkes, including a small, emblematic statue of Cupid, throughout the room. It also evokes a certain enchanted forest aura, with seven filmy, colorfully-lit curtain pillars and swirling ribbons hanging from above. This “out of the city” world is clearly a different place from the workaday world of the normal lives that these characters have left behind for two days. Costume design by Robin I. Shane and sound by Michael Antoniewicz complement the other production elements and skillfully enhance characterizations of these four and creation of this sometimes disconcerting world. There are no profound messages, no cataclysmic actions emerging from this play, but as various characters observe, “something out of the ordinary” takes place here. “Things are unsettling. Everything here is a little unsettling,” Dan remarks. ut of the City delivers a rich dose of humor and more than a few thoughts worth pondering. It also provides a delightful evening, well worth the 20 minute trip from Princeton. The 100-seat Mill Hill Playhouse, a renovated church just off route one in Trenton, is a perfect venue for this intimate, appealing show. —Donald Gilpin

“Roebling: The Story of the dents/children. They may be Carol Comune is an active Brooklyn Bridge” at MCCC purchased online at www. performer, teacher, composer,

It’s a q u i nte s s e nt ia l ly American story of perseverance against all odds, one that features Trenton’s most famous family. By special invitation, Theater To Go presents Roebling: The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge at Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre for one weekend: Friday, November 11 at 8 p.m., Saturday, November 12 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, November 13 at 2 p.m. A reception with the cast and crew follows the opening night performance on Nov. 11. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Based on the true story, “Roebling” is written by New Jersey playwright Mark Violi and directed by Ruth Markoe, with an original dramatic score by Frank Grullon. It’s 1869 and, after years of preparation and a battle with New York’s notoriously corrupt government, John Roebling is awarded the design and steel contract to build a bridge over the East River from New York to Brooklyn. The construction spans 14 years and involves 600 workers, at least two dozen of whom die during the process — including John Roebling himself. Enter John’s daughter-in-law, Emily Roebling, who surprises the establishment of the day by becoming the driving force in the bridge’s completion and ensuring that the Roebling name is forever attached to this iconic structure. The cast includes Rob Lanchester of Franconia, N.H., as John Roebling, an Equity Guest Artist who is reprising his role from productions in 2010 and 2014; Kev in Palardy of Doyle stown, Pa., as John’s son, Washington; Mariel Rosati of Ivyland, Pa., as daughter-in-law Emily; Jennifer Huckleberry of Columbus as Mary; Philip Rieschick of Hamilton as Haldis; Dan Hickey of Marlton as E.F.

The Princeton Symphony Orchestra Takes Musical Journey Through Russia

he music of Russia is rich with the country’s history, folklore, and musical traditions. This past Sunday afternoon, Princeton Symphony Orchestra explored “Impassioned Russia” with two works of Russian compositional titans — Sergei Prokofiev and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Guest conductor Jayce Ogren, who also conducts in Philadelphia and Portugal, led the concert in front of a sold-out house at Richardson Auditorium. Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major first premiered to lukewarm reviews in 1921, and it is not hard to see why early 20th-century audiences might not have liked the work. Unlike 18th and early 19th-century concerti, there were no predictable structures within the movements, nor were there many of the lush extended orchestral passages prevalent in later 19th-century works. Opening with a pair of clarinets, Prokofiev’s piano concerto was full of saucy conversations among instruments which immediately identified Prokofiev not only as a composer of film music but also as the composer of the musical children’s story Peter and the Wolf. Sections moved rapidly among a variety of musical styles, some of which may have been interpreted in the early 20th-century as a lot of clanging, but to 21st-century ears convey drama and theatricality. Guest piano soloist Russian phenomenon Natasha Paremski began the solo part conveying great drama, with tendrils of melody in the upper octaves of the keyboard. There were many characters in this concerto, portrayed by wind instruments, most notably from clarinetist Pascal Archer, flutist Yevgeny Faniuk, and bassoonist Brad Balliett. From the outset, conductor Mr. Ogren kept his conducting gestures very precise and clear, and communicated well with Ms. Paremski in musical passages that were often very off — putting in rhythm. Ms. Paremski captured the inherent light swagger of the music, often playing almost continuously in fiercely dramatic music. Ms. Paremski was always with the conductor, whether it was with languid thirds down the keyboard or controlling

the dynamics of the piano part down to almost nothing. Both pianist and conductor handled transitions well, especially in the second movement theme and variations. The final movement contained the lush orchestral writing early audiences were likely looking for, and Mr. Ogren brought orchestra and soloist to a furious close of the work. Contrasting, was Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 in B minor, completed a few months before the composer’s death and has become one of his best-known works. Mr. Ogren began the symphony with almost imperceptible double basses, complemented by an extended bassoon solo from Mr. Balliett. On the second repetition of the opening melody, Mr. Balliett provided a warmer tone, as Mr. Ogren kept the opening Adagio under wraps until the movement was ready to bubble over. Although Tchaikovsky is regarded as a dramatic composer, at times the music to this first movement was light and airy. Tchaikovsky was also a composer of contrasts, and shifts among musical moods were well handled by the orchestra, aided by a sextet of clean trumpets, trombones, and tubas providing a solid foundation to the sound. he second movement Allegro was tuneful, showing Tchaikovsky’s use of Russian folk music. Mr. Ogren kept the music light and lilting, almost like a Viennese waltz, closing the movement with a delicate ending. The third movement, full of swirling strings and winds, was martial within a chipper melodic framework and closed so triumphantly that some audience members thought the piece was over. However, this symphony is unusual in its more poignant closing movement, with hymnlike melodies and the lush orchestral writing for which 19thcentury Russian composers are known. A chorale from three trombones and tuba brought an air of solemnity to the work, and the piece closed as the lower strings effectively died away, leaving the audience silent, absorbing the full musical effect. —Nancy Plum

The orchestra’s next Classical Series performance will be on Sunday, January 29, 2017, in Richardson Auditorium. Featured will be clarinetist David Krakauer, and music of Shostakovich, Haddad, Marhulets, and Golijov. For information call (609) 497-0020 or visit www.princetonsymphony.org.

by policemen who were tipped off about the couple’s recent wedding. They were charged with violating section 20-58 of Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act, a felony that was punishable with up to five years in prison. The Lovings were convicted, but they fled to the District of Columbia in order to avoid going to jail, especially since Mildred was expecting their first child. It was a tragedy for them to be fugitives and forced to start their family in a strange city, since they already had a place to live, albeit in a state that sanctioned racial intolerance. Five years later, their plight came to the attention of Bernie Cohen (Nick Kroll) and Phil Hirshkop (Jon Bass) who were attorneys working with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The lawyers persuaded Mildred and Richard to become plaintiffs in a suit that challenged the constitutionality of Virginia’s statute that prohibited interracial marriage. The couple agreed to pursue the case, and the appellate process worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Tell the judge I love my wife,” Richard implored the ACLU legal team as they were preparing their oral argument before the court. On June 12, 1967, the Court announced its unanimous decision that was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren. It declared that the state of Virginia had violated the Loving family’s rights to equal protection and due process that were guaranteed in the 14th amendment to the constitution. Directed by Jeff Nichols (Mud), Loving chronicles the life and times of an unassuming couple whose landmark legal case thrust them into the national limelight. The production features excellent performances by Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton, who generate a quietly convincing screen chemistry while portraying Mildred and Richard as a modest working-class family.

ildred Jeter (Ruth Negga) and Richard Loving (Joel Edgerton) committed a crime when they were young and fell in love in 1958. That’s because she was black and he was white, and they were living in Virginia, one of many southern states that had anti-miscegnation laws that forbade cohabitation, marriage, procreation, and sexual relations across racial lines. Nevertheless, Richard was in love and he asked Mildred to marry him. When Mildred said yes, he purchased a vacant plot of land where he promised to build their dream home. However, in order to become married, they had to go to Washington, D.C., where they could obtain a marriage license. When they returned to their hometown of Central Point, they were promptly arrested in a nighttime raid

Donnacha Dennehy FIS Presents Excerpts From New Opera “Hunger”

Belknap Teaching Fellow Iarla Ó Lionáird and Assistant Professor of Music Donnacha Dennehy, two faculty members at Princeton University, will discuss and perform excerpts of Dennehy’s new opera, Hunger, on Friday, November 18. The discussion and performance will take place at 4:30 p.m. in the Lewis Center for the Ar ts’ James M. Stewar t ’32 Theater at 185 Nassau Street. Part of the 2016-17 Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University, this event is free and open to the public. Hunger, which premiered earlier this year starring O’Lionáird and recently completed a run at the BAM Next Wave Festival, is based on diaries and personal accounts from the period of the Great Famine in Ireland (1845-52). A departure from conventions in which the ensemble is concealed in the orchestra pit, the work integrates the players with the action and storytelling taking place on stage. The production includes a video of present-day thinkers who consider the conditions that led to the famine and their implications for inequality in our own time. The Great Famine was a time of major upheaval, the historical significance of which is well documented. At least one million people died and yet another million emigrated. Less well-recorded are accounts of those who directly witnessed and suffered through the famine. At the heart of Dennehy’s Hunger are personal, contemporaneous stories that introduce new dimensions in the tragedy of the famine. The opera also addresses the complex issues of governance and economic policy by complementing these personal,

Producing Superb Effort in All Phases of the Game, PU Football Whips Penn 28-0, Stays in Ivy Race

ast fall, a blocked field goal on the last play of regulation helped doom the Princeton University football team to a 26-23 overtime loss at Penn. When the rivals met at Princeton Stadium last Saturday, the Tigers turned the tables on the Quakers as Jesper Horsted blocked a punt on Penn’s fourth play of the game and Jeremiah Tyler scooped it up and rumbled into the end zone to give the Tigers a 6-0 lead. In reflecting on his big play, Horsted saw it as setting a positive tone for the Tigers. “Our sideline really lit up,” said Horsted. “We kicked the ball off to them and forced a stop and then got a touchdown without the offense even getting the ball. That is a good way to start a game.” Building on the start, Princeton clicked in all phases of the game pulling away to a

28-0 win over Penn before a crowd of 7,367. The triumph improved Princeton to 6-2 overall and 4-1 Ivy League, keeping the Tigers in the thick of the title race with the Quakers dropping to 5-3 overall and 4-1 Ivy as they saw their 10game league winning streak snapped. Harvard, which sits atop the standings at 7-1 overall and 5-0 Ivy, plays at Penn on November 11. Princeton head coach Bob Surace praised his team for its superb all-around effort. “This is one of the most impressive wins, maybe the most impressive win since I have been here because that is a really good football team,” said a hoarse Surace with a smile. “They are tops in the league or second in just about every category, they are a physical team, all of those things. The players executed a game plan, almost about as well as you could

execute a game plan. Kudos to them and the work they put in and the work the assistant coaches put in to get that result.” Princeton’s methodical execution was most in evidence when it started the second half with a scoring march of 80 yards in 15 plays that took 7:48. Mixing the run and pass to perfection, the Tigers scored on a four-yard pass from John Lovett to James Frusciante to extend their lead to 21-0. “It went almost eight minutes, that drive to start the second half,” recalled Surace, whose team outgained Penn 407 yards to 324 in the victory. “When good football is being executed, offense should beat defense, meaning you might only get four or five yards. Both teams were doing that from like the 20 to 30. We just had a few drives where we got all the way into the end zone. We stopped them on those fourth downs fortunately when they got in that fringe red zone.” The Tiger defense put the pressure on the Quakers all afternoon, coming up with an interception and fumble on the way to recording their first shutout since the 19-0 win over Brown on October 13, 2012. “The guys have really bought into the responsibilities,” said Surace. “We have to keep it going, this doesn’t just happen overnight. We start 0-0 every week. I just love how in tune they are with the game plan.” Surace particularly loved the way the Tigers came up big on fourth downs, holding Penn to one of four conversions in those situations. “I just felt that we were scrappy,” said Surace. “They love, just like we do, to execute these four and five yard plays and they have been doing it all year. We just got a few times where we got them to stop a drive where we fought, clutched, scratched, and clawed and kept them just close. It is a game of inches when two good teams play. We just got the little inches a little better than they did in that fringe red zone. Three times we got a score and their punter dropped a snap and we were

able to block it, that is the difference.” Senior cornerback James Gales, who got the Princeton interception, said the Tigers were determined to scrap for the shutout. “We really wanted it; when we saw that there was five minutes on the clock, we came together, huddled up and we said we have to get this,” said Gales, reflecting on Princeton’s first shutout against Penn since a 21-0 win in 1978. “We have to finish this game off right and when they started tempoing us and coming out and gaining yards, we were like let’s make a stand here and then lo and behold, they had the botched snap and Rohan (Hylton) dove on the ball and that was it. We went crazy, it was the best feeling.” In Gales’ view, the Tigers’ ability to hold the fort on fourth down situations was the product of a group effort. “We just had to keep our eyes right, the d-line got great push all game and the backers were playing downhill all game,” said the 5’10, 200-pound Gales, who now has interceptions in three straight games. “We were just trying to make sure that nothing was getting behind us so for fourth down, we were just thinking, this is our stop. We make this stop, we get off the field so we ramped up our intensity a little bit. When the d-line got great push and the backers were able to come downhill clean, the defensive backs always kept our eyes right so we were able to get off the field.” Leading the push in the trenches, junior defensive end Ty Desire was confident that the Tigers could stymie Penn’s high-powered attack. “We knew the type of offense that they had, they had two guys (quarterback Alek Torgerson and receiver Justin Watson) being considered by most to be the best offensive players in the Ivy League,” said Desire, who had six tackles in the win, including one for a loss, and knocked down a fourth down pass in Princeton territory. “We respected their offense and the way we showed that respect was coming out there and playing hard every play. From coach Surace to coach (Jim) Salgado to coach (Steve) Verbit and down the line, we had a great week of preparing.” The one-two punch of Tigers quarterbacks Chad Kanoff (17-of-24 passing for 160 yards) and John Lovett (6-of-9 passing for 63 yards and a touchdown, 46 yards rushing and a touchdown, and 2 catches for 17 yards) made things hard on the

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Penn defense. “It is fantastic; I think of Chad as more of a passer and John as more of a runner but I really don’t know who is throwing me the ball most of the time,” said Horsted, who made five catches for 37 yards on the day. “I don’t even pay attention to it because the ball is there and it is coming in. We do associate John with the running but when Chad gets open space, he is just as capable as John. I think he had a big run today.” Surace, for his part, knows his players need to maintain their attention to detail in order to stay in the title hunt, starting with their game at Yale (2-6 overall, 2-3 Ivy) on November 12.

“I was coaching in the NFL and all we had to do is win and we needed three other teams to lose,” said Surace, who served nine years as an assistant coach for the Cincinnati Bengals. “It is the last week of the season, week 17, the three teams lose and we lost; that is the worst feeling in the world. You don’t have control of anything but taking care of your stuff. The players will celebrate and enjoy this one, the alumni will enjoy this one, I will enjoy this one for another hour or so but I will be in 7 a.m. tomorrow working on Yale. That is how you have to approach it. We have got to be honed in if we are going to be successful.” —Bill Alden

Aaron Young (1.4 points) has been very solid in the first few weeks of practice. He’s a junior. Alec Brennan (2.8 points, 2.2 rebounds) is a big sized kid who’s a junior. I’m not mentioning a lot of guys. Last year, we played up at Columbia, Khyan Rayner (1.8 points) played the entire overtime and we happened to go on an 11-0 run while he was in the game. Everybody is going to get their number called at some point, but those eight I mentioned first, that’s the Princeton team right there.” Henderson, though, knows that one year older doesn’t necessarily mean one year better. “The team is one year older, we haven’t lost anybody; but what I told them is just because you have everyone

Mitch Henderson makes no effort to downplay the high hopes surrounding the Princeton University men’s basketball team as it starts the 2016-17 campaign. “This is the most experienced team I think I’ve ever coached ; we have seven seniors, six of whom have played a significant amount of minutes and five of them have started at some point in their career,” said Princeton head coach Henderson, speaking last week at the program’s media day. “I’m an optimistic person. I’m bullish in general. It’s hard to be remotely pessimistic with this group. It’s a really fun group to be around because they want to be good. We’re starting further ahead than we’ve ever started before because of the seniors.” Henderson’s optimism is shared by others as Princeton is picked first in the Ivy League preseason media poll in the wake of going 22-7 in 2015-16 and making a trip to the NIT. Boasting returning se niors Henry Caruso (15.0 points and 6.2 rebounds a game in 2015-16), Spencer Weisz (10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and a team-high 113 assists), Steven Cook (11.7 points, 4.1 rebounds), Hans Brase (11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds in 2014-15 before being sidelined by a knee injury last winter) and

Princeton Women’s Hockey Posts 0-2 Weekend, Needs to Play Tougher to Resume Winning Ways The first home weekend of the season for the Princeton University women’s hockey started last Friday evening with banners being unfurled on the wall of Baker Rink with 2016 added to each. The new entry on each banner commemorated the NCAA tournament berth and Ivy League crown earned by the program last winter. But once the action started on the ice, it didn’t end up being a banner weekend for Princeton as the 10thranked Tigers fell 3-1 to seventh-ranked St. Lawrence on Friday and then lost 4-2 to eighth-ranked Clarkson a night later. In reflecting on the first two periods of the contest

against St. Lawrence, which saw Princeton fall behind 3-0, Tiger head coach Jeff Kampersal acknowledged that his team was on its heels at times. “I felt like the first period was a little split where they had flurries and they were really good but I thought we had a couple of flurries,” said Kampersal. “In the second period, we flat-lined. Their top line looked like the Red Army team, tic tac toe in the front. It was ridiculous. We didn’t do a good job with it, we talked about it all week.” At the second intermission, Kampersal beseeched his players to pick up the intensity. “It was to go out there be physi-

cal and play,” said Kampersal recalling his message. In the third period, the Tigers played much better, skating with the Saints and picking up a late goal by Kiersten Falck to make it a 3-1 final. “I think the whole third period is something we can build on, we played much better,” said Kampersal. “We had more oomph to it and passion. That is what we have to do, play good, passionate hockey; like what we would like to think is Tiger hockey.” The Tigers have been getting very good goaltending from junior goalie Alysia DaSilva, who has stepped into the starting role after backing up Kimberly Newell the last two seasons. “Sils has been great all year,” said Kampersal of DaSilva, who made 38 saves in the loss to St. Lawrence. “She was under siege tonight and she made some good saves.” Looking ahead to the matchup against Clarkson a day later, Kampersal knew his team would be under siege physically. “Clarkson is going to be bigger and tougher,” said Kampersal. Building on its strong third period against St. Lawrence, Princeton started quicker against Clarkson, outshooting the Golden Knights in jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Cassidy Tucker and Morgan Sly. But things went south after that for the Tigers as Clarkson outshot the Tigers 27-16 over the last two periods and scored four unanswered goals to earn the 4-2 win. With Princeton playing at Harvard on November 11 and at Dartmouth on November 12, Kampersal will be looking for his players to show more resolve. “It is just to play with grit and win your battles,” said Kampersal, whose team is now 3-2-1 overall and 1-2-1 ECAC Hockey. “I told them at the end if you are soft and we lose, I will be on you forever. If you are tough and we lose, what are you going to do.” —Bill Alden

Losing 5 Stellar Seniors to Graduation, PU Women’s Hoops Featuring New Look Having taken the Princeton University women’s basketball team from the bottom of the Ivy League to five league crowns and six trips to the NCAA tournament in nine seasons at the helm, Courtney Banghart knows something about rebuilding. Losing five stellar se niors (Michelle Miller, Alex Wheatley, Annie Tarakchian, Amanda Berntsen, and Taylor Williams) and 92 percent of its scoring from last winter when the Tigers went 23-6 and earned the Ivy League’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA basketball tourney, Banghart faces a major test this winter. True to form, Banghart is relishing the challenge ahead of her. “This is a totally different team,” said a smiling Banghart last week at the program’s annual media day. “It’s the same program and same leader in charge of it so there’s a lot of similarities. I’ve probably had more fun coaching this team than I remember even having fun playing.” With Princeton opening the 2016-17 campaign by hosting Rider on November 11, Banghart is excited to unveil her new squad’s look. “They’re totally dialed in,” said Banghart, who has a 192-73 overall record in her tenure at Princeton and is the winningest coach in the program’s history. “They’re really focused on winning the day. We’re going to play the game very differently because we’re a different team now. So everything is new so there’s really no freshmen and there’s no seniors. We’re all in it as a group and at the same spot. It’s so rare in college athletics. It’s a unique experience that we’re enjoying very much.” In Banghart’s view, the Tigers should be enjoyable to watch. “We play fast on both ends,” said Banghart, noting that returners junior Tia Weledji (2.2 points a game in 2015-16), sophomore Qalea Ismail (2.5 points), sophomore Sydney Jordan (1.5 points), sophomore Jordan Muhammad (2.6 points), and junior Leslie Robinson (1.5 points), will be seeing time along with promising freshmen Bella Alarie, Sara Lewis, and Jordan Stallworth. “We don’t shoot it quite as well so we have to play faster and have to use it to our advantage. We’re much more athletic now than we have been. We’re just different so we have to use more bodies.” Senior co-captain and point guard Taylor Brown believes that the up-tempo style will be a good fit for a younger Tiger squad. “Pushing the ball is going to be a big thing that we’re going to emphasize this year,” said Brown, sporting a black eye resulting from some hard play in practice. “We have a lot of good scorers. We defend well. Those are things we’re going to try to play to and get better at.” Princeton got a head start on getting better when it went on a trip to Australia this summer where it played three games. “The trip to Australia was really amazing; I think it helped us a lot both on and off the court,” said the 5’8 Brown, who averaged 3.3

points a game last season in 24 appearances off the bench. “The week we had leading up to Australia was kind of a really unique opportunity to have a bit of a training camp type experience. For this team especially, that was super helpful just because we are very young. And then getting to go to Australia, aside from the bonding experience, we got to play games there which was huge. So we were able to come into this season and this preseason with a little bit of a notch under our belt which I think gave us a little confidence and definitely showed us what we need to work on and what we’re good at.” The Tigers will need their lone returning starter, senior co-captain Vanessa Smith, to assume greater responsibility. “The only thing that’s differentiating me from the other people is a little experience on the court,” said Smith, a 6’1 guard who averaged 8.2 points and 4.3 rebounds last season in 28 starts. “But we practice every day together; we’ve been grinding these past few years together. Even positionally we have a good range of players that have gotten playing time that know what they’re doing. In that term, I have a little bit of a leadership role in terms of experience on the court, but other than that everyone is ready to go and ready for the year.” In Smith’s view, the team’s youth could prove to be an advantage. “We’re young, but young teams have so many good attributes,” said Smith. “We’re eager. We’re ready to go. We’re fast and we’re athletic. Playing our team and playing to our strengths will really benefit us through the season.” Brown, for her part, believes the Tigers are rounding into form. “I think preseason so far has been going well,” asserted Brown. “The emphasis this year has been on winning the day, which I think has been huge. To reach any goal you have to focus on the steps and not so much on the destination but the journey. Every day this team has really come to play and win the day and I think if we continue to dial into that, good things are going to be in store for us. Banghart likes the way her players have responded

so far. “I’m really blessed; I coach a bunch of kids that trust me and let me push them,” said Banghart, whose team was picked second in the Ivy League’s preseason media poll behind defending champion Penn. “They believe I’ll get them where I need to get them. I told them, all I need is for you guys to come with the mentality that you’re going to win the day. Some days we’ll be more focused on one end or one part of the ball or one part of our scheme. Some days will be harder than others. It’s all part of the design. Just win the day and it’s my job to make sure we’re progressing at the right pace.” The young Tigers will be tested by a hard non-conference slate that includes such formidable foes as Dayton, Delaware, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Kansas State, and Georgia Tech. “It’s always a good thing to play the best; in a non-conference, you’re comparing yourself to who you choose,” said Banghart, whose team will have more of a margin for error when it starts Ivy play as the league will hold its firstever postseason tournament with the top four teams in the eight-team conference qualifying for the competition. “For me, I want to be compared with the teams you see on our schedule, which is arguably a top 25 schedule for a team that graduated 92 percent of its offense. That’s who we’re going to compare ourselves to, that’s who we’re going to practice for. It’s who we’re to watch film for, it’s who I’m going to learn from so it’s how we do it. Our winloss record might not be what we’re used to, but our goal is to continue to get this train moving forward and get better. There’s no better way to do it than play them.” While Princeton may take its share of lumps, Banghart is confident her team will keep battling through the ups and downs. “I can rely on them to stay engaged with what we ask them to do,” said Banghart. “I can rely on their heart. These guys are total fighters. We have a black eye, we could have two kids out with season-ending injuries, these are just in practice. These guys are battling. There’s a sense they’re my fighters for sure. They also play the game with a little more joy than we’ve had. We’re not so business-like. We’re youthful, and that probably fits my personality a little more.” —Bill Alden

Adding Another Chapter to Historic Campaign, PHS Boys’ Cross Country Wins Sectional Title Later this month, the 1974 Princeton High boys’ cross country team will be inducted into the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Over the course of this fall, the 2016 boys’ squad has been following in the footsteps of its 1974 predecessors, making plenty of history in its own right. In late October, PHS won the team title at the Mercer County Championships for the first time since 1992. Last Saturday, the Little Tigers added another chapter to their success story, cruising to a first place finish at the Central Group 4 sectional meet at Thompson Park

in Jamesburg, breaking the meet record for five-runner average with their mark of 16:05.3. S enior star A lex Rot h led the way for the Little Tigers, taking four th individually as he clocked a time of 15:39.60 over the 5,000 -meter course. Junior Will Hare took sixth in 15:51.50 with sophomore Acasio Pinheiro coming in seventh at 16:04.50, junior Nicholas Delaney finishing 11th in 16:22.80 and junior Alex Ackerman placing 16th at 16:27.80. The Little Tigers had 44 team points w ith r unner-up W W/ P- S well behind at 89.

SETTING THE PACE: Princeton High boys’ cross country runner Alex Roth heads to the finish line in recent action. Last Saturday, senior star Roth took fourth individually at the Central Group 4 sectional meet at Thompson Park in Jamesburg, setting the pace as the Little Tigers won the team title. PHS will be looking for another big performance when it runs in the state Group 4 meet in November 12 at Holmdel Park.

PHS head coach Jim Smirk noted that his runners have been drawing inspiration from the 1974 squad. “During our team meeting the guys were saying we are doing something that is on par with what this historic group in 1974 did,” said Smirk, whose team earned its first sectional title since 2012 and its first-ever at the Group 4 level. “How cool would it be, the year that we are inducting them, to make this run. They were talking that the 1974 group raised the idea of cross country and what it meant to be on the team.” In reaching the heights of a county and sectional title double, PHS has focused on doing the right things day in, day out. “We have been building this all season, it is good hard work,” added Smirk. “There is no real secret formula here. It is just a really good group of guys, a lot of strong leadership, a lot of conviction about what it takes to be good, and then following up with that, both in practice and out. They are doing all of the things they should be doing to give themselves the opportunity for success.” Smirk, though, was taken aback by learning that his team had broken the meet record for average time. “That was certainly what our goal was, we didn’t want to just go out and run, we wanted to challenge ourselves,” said Smirk, noting that the mark had been held by a powerhouse WW/P-S squad. “We didn’t really know for sure what we were going to look like against a deep field. We had run in Manhattan, we had run at Bowdoin. We ran well there but that was still the middle of the season and the end of the season is a little different. We wanted to see what that was like. We wanted to show that we could control all phases of a race and I think we did that.” In controlling the sectional race, PHS displayed its

depth. “However well our top three ran and they certainly did, if you look at the results, our 4-5-6 guys were great,” said Smirk. “O ur si x t h g uy ( Jackson Donahue in 17th at 16:28.40) was ahead of everybody else’s third man.” Juniors Acker man and Delaney have emerged as unsung heroes for the Little Tigers. “Ackerman was coming off a really tough spring where he was dealing with a hip issue; we just couldn’t get him healthy,” said Smirk. “He did the work. We didn’t know what that was g oi ng to lo ok l i ke a n d frankly our goal has been to just get him back to where he was a year ago. That is enough and then he runs 13 seconds faster on that course for a personal best. Nick is growing into the idea that he is a complete runner. He is always going to see himself as an 800 guy who can drop down to the 400 and get stuff done. He has been excellent for us over the years in that role in track but it was like I am kind of here for cross. I will be a role player and I think he really elevated his own performance at sectionals. That was the challenge, let’s stop being just a role player and be a star. He took that role on and excelled at it. Even he was surprised, saying I think I have more in the tank.” In Smirk’s view his runners will have more in the tank for the state Group 4 meet this Saturday at Holmdel Park. “Our training is going to do that for us; we took just a little edge off but we are training the way we want to train,” explained Smirk. “We do it as an individual thing. Every athlete gets a slightly different workout according to what t heir needs are. Some guys love the taper; some guys love to keep training and keep that intensity going with maybe an extra rest day in there.” —Bill Alden

PHS Girls’ Cross Country Takes 2nd at Sectionals, Racing Hard in Falling Just Two Points Shy of Title Coming into the Central Group 4 sectional meet last Saturday, the runners on the Princeton High girls’ cross country team had a chip on their shoulders. “We felt we had run pretty well at counties and maybe we didn’t quite get the acknowledgment for how well we ran, not getting ranked on NJ.com,” said PHS head coach Jim Smirk, whose girls’ team placed second at the Mercer County Championships on October 28. “If you look at the times there, they were not pedestrian, they were cooking. The girls were really good about it; if people don’t think we are as good as we are, then we will just go out there and run better. That is what they did, they went out and raced.” T h e L it t le T ig e r s r a n very well in the sectional meet at Thompson Park in Jamesburg, battling at the head of the pack in an incredibly tight race, taking second with 95 points, just two behind champion Hillsborough. WW/P-S was four points behind PHS in third with South Brunswick one point behind the Pirates in fourth as seven points separated the top four teams. S e n i o r A n n i e Wa l k e r set the pace for PHS, taking ninth individually in a time of 19:28.30 over the 5,000-meter course. Senior Izzy Trenholm was 11th with junior Chloe Taylor taking 12th and senior Annefleur Har t manshen n f in ish ing 15th. “It was exciting,” said Smirk. “Annie and Chloe had good days, they were in the wheelhouse; Izzy ran great and she was right in there.” Smirk credited Hartmanshenn w ith producing a

special effort in the race. “Annefleur picked up 24 spots in the last mile and a half and she wasn’t running poorly in the first half,” said Smirk. “She was running a very consistent race but then she really found another level and when you can do that to a field that is as deep, that is great. These are not athletes who fold in the last mile of a race so what she did was game changing, she put us in the conversation.” With all of his runners on their game last Saturday, Smirk can live with just falling short of the title. “I have to give it to Juliet Malkowski, our fifth runner,” said Smirk of the junior who placed 48th. “We have really been trying to figure it out and she ran a season’s best and a personal best on that course. We came up two points shy. When your entire team goes and tries to run a season’s best when it counts the most and you are only two points shy, you say alright, that is good.” Looking ahead to the state Group 4 meet on November 12 at Holmdel Park, Smirk is confident that his team will come up with another very good effort. “I think that however well we ran up front with our top four, there is more there,” said Smirk. “I actually don’t think Thompson Park is our best course, we struggle there a little bit. We are often a touch too conservative early and that shows late. I think Holmdel is a better course for us. We have traditionally run better there and we are looking to continue that tradition.” —Bill Alden

When the second-seeded Princeton High field hockey team fell behind third-seeded Hunterdon Central 2-0 in the first half of the North 2 Group 4 sectional semis last Wednesday, Kennedy Corrado knew it was a door-die moment. “We realized that it was go time; we had to pick it up and do what we needed to do,” said PHS senior forward Corrado. “We executed that really well.” The execution by the Little Tigers came in the form of moving the ball deftly all over the field. “We really played the passing game and that is what we wanted to do,” said Corrado. “That was our goal and we really did a good job.” The sharp passing got PHS back into the game as Avery Peterson scored with 17:33 left in the first half and then Corrado tallied with about four minutes left, set up by a feed from sophomore Mariana Lopez-Ona. “I saw Mariana coming down the field, I was OK, this is the moment, I have to get ready; we always set each other up,” recalled Corrado. “I work together with her so well on the field; I just knew when I saw her coming, it is time. I got my stick down because I heard the coaches yelling keep your stick down so I have to do that. I saw it rolling in and it was a great moment.” The Little Tigers enjoyed another big moment later in the half, getting a second goal from Peterson to take a 3-2 lead at intermission and seize momentum going into the second half. “I thought we were in very good shape,” said Corrado. “I was really proud of where we were at but I knew we had to keep it up. More than anything, we couldn’t let one thing slip.” Hunterdon Central slipped past the Little Tigers, however, scoring two unanswered goals late in the second half to pull out a 4-3 win. “They really came down hard on us; we knew that they would,” said Corrado.

“We were ready for it but at the end, we just didn’t follow through.” While Corrado was disappointed by the outcome, she liked the way the Little Tigers played hard to the end against the Red Devils. “It was great hockey, I was so proud,” said Corrado. “I saw everyone doing what they were supposed to do. The defense were the heroes really. Kate Rogers is incredible in goal; she has grown so much and next year she is going to be unstoppable.” In Corrado’s view, PHS grew a lot collectively this fall as it ended up with a final record of 14-6-2. “I think we had a great season,” asserted Corrado. “During preseason, we noticed that we had to work on passing and all that simple stuff. Over the course of the season, we really executed what we needed to do. If you could see the first scrimmage of preseason today, you would think it is a completely different team.” Individually, Corrado has come a long way as a player and a person over the last four years. “I think growth in everything is possible,” said Corrado, reflecting on her progress. “When I came on this team as a freshman I was very quiet and now everyone can tell you I am not quiet. I have confidence. I think that scoring all comes back to confidence and I owe that 100 percent to my coach (Heather Serverson) because even when I was a freshman, she said I see you can do it. Over the years it came out. In my senior year, it just came out, guns blazing.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson liked the way her players stuck to their guns after falling behind to Hunterdon Central. “I am proud of the way they fought back because as a program, we haven’t always been able to do that,” said Serverson. “It is definitely something we have been working on over the years; I think they did a great job with that today.”

The team’s good work in moving the ball all over the field particularly pleased Serverson. “O u r P r i n c e to n g a m e was working well for the first three-quarters of the game,” said Serverson. “I think overall the passing game was great and that we really started clicking.” Serverson credited Hunterdon Central with clicking when it counted down the stretch of the contest. “We had some little mistakes, some little errors and kudos to Hunterdon Central, they took advantage of them,” said Serverson. “At this point of the season, it comes down to those little mistakes. It is the team that is able to make the fewest mistakes and also takes advantage of the mistakes the other team makes.” Reflecting on the season, Serverson felt that PHS took advantage of opportunities for the most part. “I think overall we were very successful, we did a lot of things well,” said Serverson. “We made it to the same point in both tournaments that we did last year; we just didn’t reach our goal of getting one step further. We definitely played well.” The team’s core of seniors, which includes Jordyn Cane, Anna Cincotta, Madeline Deutsch, Gwen Koehler, Lily Leonard, Georgia McLean, and Jamaica Ponder in addition to Peterson and Corrado, did a lot of things well over the last four years. “This senior group has been playing together since they were at John Witherspoon so that really helped,” said Serverson. “They have raised the bat, they have improved the program from when they came in to when they left so you can’t really ask for much more.” Corrado and her classmates, for their part, are planning to stay involved w it h t h e pro g r a m e ve n though their playing days are over. “I couldn’t be prouder of everyone with the way the season ended,” said Corrado. “I am so close to everyone; it is amazing. We are definitely going to try to keep up team bonding over the course of the year because we did that last year after the season.” —Bill Alden

PHS Girls’ Soccer Falls in Sectional Quarters But Senior Star Tesone Proud of Team’s Progress Even though the Princeton High girls’ soccer team lost 4-1 to Hunterdon Central in late September, Zoe Tesone wasn’t fazed when the foes met for a rematch in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinals last Friday. “We watched the game film over and what we saw was that we could actually play against this team,” said PHS senior defender Tesone. “We could pass it. We saw if we could keep our composure, we could move it around them. The whole mentality going in was put it all out on the field, do not let up.” Letting up two early goals to top-seeded Hunterdon Central, eighth-seeded PHS cut the lead to 2-1 on a score by junior Devon Lis late in the first half. But the Red Devils answered with a tally to make it 3-1 at halftime and then scored two goals in the early stages of the second half to put the contest out of reach. The Little Tigers kept battling, though, as junior Colette Marciano found the back of the net with 5:53 remaining in regulation to make it a 5-2 final. “The fact that we stayed in the game in the second half, I am just so proud of this team,” said Tesone. “Because of that, there was no negativity on the field.” PHS stayed the course this fall, finding its form after losing its first three games to end up with a final record of 11-8. “We had a rough start but we really figured it out with each player and what they have to bring,” said Tesone. “It was a little hard at first but we finally clicked as a team. We got better with our touches and everything but it was as a team, we realized that we needed to be a close knit unit. It really showed in our South Brunswick game (a 4-1 win on November 1 in the first round of the sectional).” As a team captain, Tesone assumed extra responsibility this season to help things click for the Little Tigers. “My coach told me that as a captain, you are not always going to get that good job or that recognition and that will hurt,” said Tesone. “But to see the people on the team doing their role

and them knowing that I need them and they need me, that is all that matters. I saw that.” PHS head coach Val Rodriguez knew that PHS was facing a very good team in Hunterdon Central. “They are very strong everywhere on the field, they are fast, they are physical, very tactical and technically sound, and they move the ball well,” said Rodriguez. “A 4-3-3 is tough to defend and also to build the attack on. They have three threatening forwards that you have to worry about all the time.” The Little Tigers sensed that they could mount an attack on the Red Devils through set pieces. “Corner kicks and our long throw-ins are the moments where we needed to be near perfect,” said Rodriguez. “We got one that way and the second one came off of a play that started with a corner kick. Those were the opportunities that we were going to get our chances from after watching game film that we had of them.” Overcoming its slow start this fall, PHS had moments of brilliance as it found a rhythm. “We have 13 new people on varsity this season, we had a lot to learn about ourselves individually and as a team,” said Rodriguez. “We started with the most difficult CVC schedule that we could have started with and went 0-3. The character that these girls showed went above and beyond any expectation. We pulled it together from a 0-3 start, to have a really successful CVC run. I am extremely happy that we got a tournament win in both tournaments, beating Hightstown in the MCT and the South Brunswick game was really good.” Rodriguez credited Tesone with bringing character and skill to the field. “Zoe is going to be very difficult to replace, both on the field and as a leader,” said Rodriguez. “She is a top notch kid, she leads by example and people just want to do well for her. She controls that back really well for us and her air game is great, She had four goals for us from sweeper, she comes up in clutch situations.” The team’s other seniors,

Jackie Girouard, Gretchen Brown, and Celia Gleason, also set a good example. “Jackie Girouard is off the back line, she is also going to be missed,” said Rodriguez. “She is a good defender, she has that X factor where her role is defense but she knows when to make those runs and all of a sudden you will catch her playing up. We have two other seniors who stepped up as varsity players in Celia Gleason and Gretchen Brown.” Going forward, Rodriguez believes that the team’s core of young players will be stepping up. “In our freshman, sophomore, and junior class, we have a lot to be excited about,” maintained Rodriguez. “We had five freshmen this year and they were all impact players. We had a strong JV program this year too. The future looks good with what we have coming back.” Tesone, for her part, is leaving with a slew of good memories from her years with the PHS program. “I loved it, I came in with two amazing captains, Eva Reyes and Dana Smith, and the rest of the seniors that year were wonderful,” said Tesone. “I knew what I wanted to bring my senior year with them and others like Emily Pawlak, Shannon Pawlak, Haley Bodden, Gabbie Deitch, and Taylor Lis. They were amazing captains and amazing people. They were the ones I wanted to follow and it made my high school soccer career exactly what I wanted.” —Bill Alden

Savoring Her Last Game With Hun Girls’ Soccer, Gray Scores as Raiders Top Mercersburg in Finale

After a season of nail-biters and some heartbreaking defeats, the Hun School girls’ soccer team enjoyed an afternoon filled with smiles and hugs as they hosted Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) last Sunday to end the fall. Jumping out to a 4-0 lead by halftime, Hun cruised to a 6-0 win over the Blue Storm on a day when the program’s four seniors, Abby Gray, Natalie Csapo, Julia Salerno, and Shannon Dudeck were honored, three of whom scored (Gray, Csapo, and Dudeck) in the rout. Co-captain Gray, who tallied the final goal of the contest, savored her last game with the Raiders.

“It is really sweet,” said Gray. “There are a lot of emotions right now, sad but excited. It is definitely bittersweet; the journey with this team has been amazing. My high school career would not be the same without it. I am very grateful for the team and the relationships I have built throughout my four years.” In reflecting on the 2016 season, which saw Hun post a 7-10-2 record, Gray acknowledged that it had been a tough journey. “There were a lot of ups and downs; we definitely came into the season with high hopes,” said Gray. “We worked really hard

in the offseason; we had a good preseason. We didn’t really come out that great, the first couple weeks of our schedule were unfortunately against some of the top teams so that definitely was a challenge.” Despite suffering some lumps along the way, Hun was in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title race until last weekend when Peddie clinched the crown with a win over Blair on Saturday, and also advanced to state Prep A semifinals, where it lost 2-1 to Pennington. “The first half we definitely outplayed them but we lost 2-1; unfortunately it has happened many times this

year against many teams,” said Gray, reflecting on the defeat to Pennington. “We almost think it is luck but it is hard to say that. We had a good season in terms of possession. We have played together very well but unfortunately we just didn’t come out on top.” The Raiders stuck together through thick and thin, displaying their closeness on Sunday when each of the seniors received hugs after leaving the game late in the second half. “It is amazing, this is definitely a family right here,” asserted Gray. “I couldn’t ask for a better group of girls, it has been a blast.” Serving as a co-captain of the team along with Salerno, Gray played a key role in fostering that family feeling. “It was definitely an honor being a captain this year,” said Gray. “I think we are all leaders. We have juniors who are leaders, we have sophomores who are leaders and we even have freshmen who are leaders. Nicole Angelini has had an incredible season. I didn’t take this leadership as me telling them what to do. I think the team as a whole has been amazing.” Gray also showed leadership through her preparation. “I have worked my hardest during the offseason, t hat has def initely helped me coming into each season,” said Gray. “Last summer. I was here as much as possible running and lifting so that was definitely a big part of my progression in terms of fitness and skill.” Hun head coach Joanna Hallac was happy to see her team cruise to a big win in its finale. “It is a fun way to end the season,” said Hallac, who also got two goals from Bryonna Worthy in the win with

Angelini adding another. “It is the end of a season that has had a lot of ups and downs but I think the big positive to take away is just the kind of soccer we were playing. We were playing really really well, we just missed a couple of chances.” In Hallac’s view, missing out on some big wins came down to a dose of bad fortune. “We had some really good games against good teams that could have gone either way,” said Hallac. “It just seemed every bad luck chance would go against us and good luck would go for the other team. It was just that kind of season. I don’t like to make excuses because we were playing good soccer and we had chances but bottom line, we didn’t finish and that is why those games went the way they did.” Even though things didn’t go the way Hun had hoped, the players continued to show unity. “The fact that they were able to keep that kind of attitude, that camaraderie, and that family atmosphere despite some frustrations is a testament to their character,” said Hallac. “They saw how well we were playing, they saw how well we were competing and they know what kind of a tough schedule we had. We have a lot to be proud of and a lot to look back on and ponder over the next few months.” The team’s group of seniors certainly did themselves proud over the last four years. “It is hard to even measure

their impact because since day one when I arrived here, they have been playing such a pivotal role,” added Hallac, reflecting on the team’s Class of 2017. “We had so many injuries my first year early so they were all thrown into action. This is the first class I have seen all the way through. It is hard to put into words how much they have meant to me and how much we are going to miss them and what kind of a hole is going to be there because of their absence.” In order to be more successful next year, Hun’s returning players need to focus on how they can make more of an impact. “What I want them to remember is how it felt being on the losing end of those close ones,” said Hallac. “They need to use that as motivation as they approach the offseason to try to improve themselves and get better so that we don’t have that happen again.” Gray, for her part, will have a lot of good things to remember when she looks back on her Hun career. “I think just the growth I have been able to experience with this team,” said Gray, who is planning to play soccer in college. “The state championship in my sophomore year was incredible. Not having a great season junior year, we really wanted to come back this year. It didn’t work out this year as we had hoped but I couldn’t be more proud to be on this team. I wouldn’t want to be on Pennington, I wouldn’t want to be on Oak Knoll even though they won the state championship.” —Bill Alden

“Exploring the Healing Power of Gratitude”

Laura Bratton, an author, speaker, and coach, will speak on the topic, “Exploring the Healing Power of Gratitude,” in the Daniel J. Theron Assembly Room in the Princeton Theological Seminary Library (25 Library Place in Princeton) on Tuesday, November 15 at 7 p.m. A book signing for Bratton’s new book, Harnessing Courage: Overcoming Adversity with Grit & Gratitude (Clovercroft Publishing, 2016), will follow the talk. The event is free and open to the public, and parking is available in the lot behind the library. At the age of nine, Bratton was diagnosed with an eye

disease and faced the difficult reality that she would become blind. Over the next 10 years, she experienced t he traumatic transition of adjusting to life without sight. In Harnessing Courage: Overcoming Adversity with Grit & Gratitude, Bratton shares the incredible journey of her first 30 years of life. It is a journey that has been difficult, frustrating, overwhelming, and full of courage, joy, and love. She shares how to apply grit to each difficult situation and experience gratitude moment by moment, regardless of the circumstances. A graduate of Arizona State University and Princeton S em inar y, Brat ton was the first blind student to earn a Masters of Divinity from the Seminary in 2010. She is a full elder in the South Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church and senior pastor at Laurens Road United Methodist Church in Greenville, South Carolina. In 2015 she founded Ubi Global LLC, which is an organization that offers speaking and coaching to people overcoming traumatic situations. For more information, visit ptsem.edu/events.
