Princeton Adapts in Year of COVID Pandemic Struggles “Princeton Responds to Coronavirus Threat” read the February 5 Town Topics headline. At that point the “threat” seemed overstated and the community’s “response” — assessing individuals who had recently traveled to Wuhan, China — seemed more than sufficient to dispel any risks. There were eleven reported cases in the United States at the time, but none in New Jersey. In the ensuing eleven months of 2020, the COVID pandemic changed the town of Princeton as it changed the lives of almost everyone across the globe. Eighteen Princeton residents died with confirmed cases of COVID, according to the Princeton Health Department, and an additional 13 deaths (symptomatic but not tested) were probably COVID-related — most in long-term care facilities and almost all in the first three months of the pandemic. There have been more than 470 cases since the first case was reported in Princeton on March 13, and in the final days of 2020 health officials are continuing to report record numbers of new cases daily. More than 400 Princeton
residents have recovered from COVID-19. The pandemic forced Princeton and its residents to adapt in almost every aspect of their lives. Stores and work places shut down; all but essential workers stayed home; lives moved from in-person work, school, play, and socializing to the virtual realm, as online activities multiplied and Zoom became a prominent part of many people’s lives. School buildings and the Princeton University campus were mostly deserted. “We’re all in this together,” Mayor Liz Lempert proclaimed, and Princeton displayed unprecedented capacity to work collaboratively, as local government, community partners, and generous individuals teamed up to provide much-needed support for struggling institutions, businesses, and neighbors. Prevailing over the multiple challenges of communications and interactions that were usually restricted to the virtual realm, the Princeton Council finalized a long-debated affordable housing agreement. With the co-leadership of Sustainable Princeton and a host of other environmental
organizations, the Council continued to successfully implement its ambitious Climate Action Plan. And the Alexander Street/Road three bridges project, which seemed like a priority at the time it was initiated, was completed on schedule in April. Though somewhat muted in comparison to gatherings of recent years, demonstrations in Princeton took place in support of Black Lives Matter, immigrants’ rights, diplomacy not war, voting rights, and the post office. Controversy continued over Westminster Choir College. While Rider University has moved much of the institution to its Lawrence campus, Rider cannot proceed with a sale of the campus as long as legal efforts continue — and they are continuing. Elections — most notably for mayor, Council, and public School Board, in addition to the national election — were different too, with most voters voting by mail and everybody waiting a bit longer to find out the final results. And it wasn’t only the coronavirus that contributed to the many changes in town. Princeton will be starting 2021
with a new mayor, a new police chief, and many new leaders taking the helm of many of the town’s most esteemed and influential institutions and organizations. “Traffic” was the first word in the headline of last year’s 2019 in review article, as the Alexander Street bridges replacement project dragged on and other roads into town were backed up with lines of frustrated drivers. But 2020 has been a year like no other. Suddenly, in March 2020, the roads were no longer congested and the perennial Princeton parking problem lessened, but the pandemic continues to take its toll in so many other devastating ways. COVID-19
As the pandemic spread rapidly in midMarch, Princeton, with the leadership and guidance of local authorities, pivoted quickly. Retail establishments shut down, most offices went virtual, most schools moved to remote learning. Most Princeton University students were required to leave campus by March 19, with virtual classes in all subjects beginning on March 23. Continued on Page 5

Club, and Modern Nails. There was welcome relief from the Princeton University Relief Fund, the Princeton Small Business Resiliency Fund, and corporate and private donors. To keep restaurants open and encourage patronage of local shops, the municipality turned Witherspoon Street between Nassau and Spring streets into a oneway stretch, making room for outdoor dining along the sidewalks. The effort was a success, and the town was crowded — some would say over-crowded — with patrons on weekends. Once fall turned to winter, some retailers wanted to turn the street back to its two-way, pre-COVID status. Many residents hoped the street would either stay one way, or become closed to vehicular traffic altogether. This month, Princeton Council voted in favor of an ordinance that keeps the oneway traffic arrangement, flowing north, in place. To encourage local shopping during the holiday season, the municipality and local merchants began promotions before Thanksgiving. Special shopping incentives and a Winter Village with small chalets selling art and other objects, curated by the Arts Council of Princeton, were put in place. Affordable Housing A settlement agreement between Princeton and the Fair Share Housing Center was approved in February, ending almost five years of litigation initiated by municipal officials. A compliance hearing in November completed the final step in this third round of municipal housing obligations. The plan is a mix of inclusionary developments, 100 percent affordable housing development, senior units, family units, and mixed income projects. The judgment protects the town from a builder’s remedy lawsuit, which allows a developer to file a suit for the opportunity to construct housing at higher densities than a municipality would otherwise allow. Virtual public meetings on the topic were well attended by members of the community. The organization Princeton Future held productive gatherings about bringing affordable and market-rate housing to the former hospital parking lot on Franklin Avenue, and a task force is now studying the initiative. The first affordable housing project to come on line will be the Thanet Circle properties, which will include 221 apartments, six of which are affordable, and five of which will be special needs units. Additional projects that are planned, in addition to Franklin Avenue and Maple Terrace, include new affordable units at Princeton Community Village, 375 Terhune Road, and at the site of the former SAVE animal shelter site on Herrontown Road.

© TOWN TALK A forum for the expression of opinions about local and national issues.
Question of the Week:
“Besides the pandemic, what were some of the most important community issues in 2020?” (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)
“This summer brought the conversation of systemic racism and economic disparity to the forefront of our community. We welcome the long overdue conversations about issues facing people of color and encourage all to have those difficult conversations with friends, family, and neighbors. Together, the people in this community and beyond can help bring about change and create an environment that is truly equitable for every person regardless of their race or station in life.” —Kim Rizk, Princeton
“Methinks 2020 turned out to be a time of reflection not only as individuals but for the community as a whole. I recall being near Palmer Square for the remembrance of Mr. Floyd and, as a Princetonian, was proud to see a lot of us showed up to learn and bring awareness to the issue of social justice.” —Maximilian Urquhart Wright, Belle Mead
“Food scarcity. Partnering with Mr. Rogers’ Neighbors Kindness Project has been very heartwarming and enlightening. It is so good to see firsthand how many in our community are so readily eager to support their neighbors in need. It is a worthy cause that will unfortunately need our continued community support long after the pandemic is gone.” —Kathy Klockenbrink, Princeton
“We saw a concerted effort from locals to shop small businesses and local businesses. There have been a number of vacancies created this year, and I think people became even more aware that to have the businesses that they want and that they love to remain, it is important to support them by shopping local.” —Ron Menapace, Princeton

and aging facilities at the six district schools. On the agenda was the implementation of facilities improvements scheduled for all the schools with major renovations and additional classrooms, mostly now complete, at Princeton Unified Middle School (PUMS). Ongoing work on the referendum projects will include renovation of the guidance area, addition of new classrooms, and creation of a new remote dining facility at Princeton High School. On March 16, the focus shifted as schools shut down and remote learning brought major new challenges. Plans changed frequently, at the mercy of the spreading pandemic. Flexibility and creativity were essential in all facets of the school community.
Superintendent Steve Cochrane stepped down on July 1, and Interim Superintendent Barry Galasso took over as PPS continued to navigate its way through the complexities of remote, inperson, and hybrid learning in the pandemic. Original plans called for a phase-in of a hybrid system, but staffing and social distancing challenges, along with the vicissitudes of the pandemic and exposures to infection in the community, necessitated several returns to periods of remote learning throughout the fall term. John Witherspoon Middle School became Princeton Unified Middle School in August after the BOE voted, in response to a petition with more than 1,500 signatures, to remove the name of John Witherspoon, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and president
of Princeton University, but also a slaveholder opposed to abolition. Students, teachers, school officials, and representatives from the community have been working together and will decide by June 30, 2021 on a permanent new name for the middle school that will better reflect the values of the school and the community. Continuing to improve equity and remote learning, keeping children and staff safe and healthy as they come back into the schools, and hiring a new permanent superintendent are among the districts’s top priorities in the months ahead. Princeton University Many of the traditions of Princeton University transitioned to the virtual realm after the March shutdown. At MAKING A STATEMENT: The Arts Council of Princeton’s new mural, “Vote,” made a statement the end of May, the University on the corner of Witherspoon and Spring streets in downtown Princeton a few weeks before the election.

celebrated virtual reunions, a virtual P-rade, and a virtual graduation ceremony, with speakers including Princeton University’s first Black valedictorian, Nicholas Johnson. As classes continued remotely throughout the spring and again this fall, many University professors and other researchers refocused their work to address pandemic concerns, such as the development of personal protective equipment and ventilators, and the economic effects of pandemic shutdowns on marginalized groups. The University also created its own COVID testing lab. Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber
announced multiple initiatives to expand diversity and inclusion and to combat systemic racism. On June 26 the Princeton University trustees voted to remove Woodrow Wilson’s name from the School of Public and international Affairs and from the Wilson residential college because of his “racist thinking and policies.” Large alumni gifts came from Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones for two new dormitories and from Mellody Hobson for a new residential college, as the University pursues its goal of undergraduate expansion.

Westminster, with which it merged in 1992, Rider this year moved the Princetonbased choir school to its Lawrenceville location. The plan is to sell the Princeton campus. But legal hurdles remain. The Westminster Foundation, a nonprofit made up of alumni and supporters of the choir college, has sued the University claiming terms of the 1992 merger prohibit the sale. Whether Rider will be able to sell depends on the outcome of the lawsuits, which have yet to receive a final ruling. A court date for the latest round of oral arguments is soon to be scheduled, according to a spokesperson for the Foundation. The legal back-and-forth and the pandemic have had serious effects. In April, Moody’s downgraded Rider’s bond rating to junk status. Enrollment at Westminster has declined precipitously. But the Foundation continues its fight to reclaim the Princeton campus. Alexander Street Bridges There was widespread anxiety when the municipality announced late last year that Alexander Street and part of Alexander Road, major connectors from downtown Princeton to Route 1, would be closed for the replacement of two bridges. Several months of commuting misery were predicted. But the pandemic hit midway through the project, unexpectedly cutting down traffic as people adhered to guidelines and stayed home.

County announced that the bridges on Alexander Street in Princeton and Alexander Road in West Windsor had been replaced with wider, safer spans. The projects were completed on time. Elections Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert announced a year ago that she would be stepping down at the end of 2020. Mark Freda will be stepping up. A longtime volunteer for the Princeton Fire Department, president of the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, and formerly a member of the Borough Council for 13 years, Freda ran unopposed for mayor and will take over on January 1. Incumbents David Cohen and Leticia Fraga were reelected to Princeton Council, defeating challenger Dina Shaw in the July Democratic primary and running unopposed on the Democratic ticket in the November election. No Republicans ran in the mayoral or Council elections. Eight candidates competed for the PPS Board of Education, with new candidate Jean Durbin and incumbents Beth Behrend,
currently BOE president, and Michele Tuck-Ponder, BOE vice president, winning the three available spots. Social Activism In early June, demonstrators gathered on Nassau Street to protest the killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis. Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter had earlier released a statement condemning the violent police actions. Princeton Police Officer Courtney Navas Continued on Page 11

after the election. Sustainability Many bicyclists, at least, found cause for celebration in the dearth of cars on the road during the pandemic lockdown. A bicycling boom took place with local bike stores selling out and more cyclists of all ages on the streets. Princeton’s Bike Boulevards, loops ranging from 4.5 to 16 miles connecting residents with the schools and most other parts of town, enhanced the experience and the allure for cyclists. A silver Bicycle Friendly Community award this month from the League of American Bicyclists recognized efforts by the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee and the municipality and highlighted Princeton as the most bike-friendly town in the state. In February the Mercer County Improvement Authority clamped down on recycling scofflaws and began enforcing the recycling rules with red tags and no pick-up for bins containing improperly recycled materials.

Regardless, or mail to: Town Topics, PO Box 125, Kingston, NJ 08528 my fervent hope for all of us that care about dealing with climate change, reducing traffic congestion, and improving the health and well-being of our community, is we find that making our streets physically safer is part of the solution, and worth our while. RON LESSARD To the Editor: Birch Avenue I read the League of American Bicyclists awarded Princeton a silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community [“Princeton’s Cycling Status Rises, Most Bike-Friendly Town in the State,” page 1, December 16]. Seems many in town have worked tirelessly to make our town safer to ride a bike. Rewarding this work is more than justified. Still, I To the Editor: Try to remember back to 2019. It seems like a different thought I’d take a look at the so-called most bike-friendly lifetime doesn’t it? As a small bakery owner and Princeton town in New Jersey. I found no bike lanes to safely travel to the downtown, resident, I remember what used to be considered retail the shopping center, or the schools. In fact, I found that problems – high rent, power outages, road closures, and riding into town is dangerous and congested, and that the like.

In a September 2019 letter published in Town Topics I invited Princetonians to urge Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman to cosponsor the bill and our congresswoman was an initial cosponsor when the bill was introduced the following month. In a November 2020 letter published here, I urged readers to call our U.S. senators and ask them to support the bill’s inclusion in the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Global Child Thrive Act was included and the larger bill passed both the House and Senate with veto-proof majorities. Sadly, President Trump vetoed it on December 23, but Congress is expected to override the veto any day now. Successes like these don’t happen overnight or because of one person, they happen as a result of ongoing communication with our members of Congress. We could start 2021 by advocating for more good news and by thanking Representative Watson Coleman and Senators Menendez and Booker.

To the Editor: Let me add my voice to the chorus of pleas I have seen in the paper in recent weeks and months to do something about the noise and the effect on our air quality from leaf blowers and, I would add, from other machines driven by the same inefficient and highly polluting small engines. Beyond the noise problem is the air pollution from the exhaust emissions of these engines, with its immediate impact on our breathing and with known effects of air pollution on asthma and lung problems. Landscaping crews seem to come through in three waves: once with power mowers, once with edger/trimmers, and once with leaf blowers, and all of these machines use the same deafening and highly polluting two-stroke engines. I have seen gas-powered hedge trimmers, too. Any ordinance should ban or regulate the use of all of these machines. I find that as soon as I hear the machines of the landscaping crews approaching, I must rush to close up windows and doors or the pollution will have entered my house and become hard to remove. Recently I had the misfortune of needing to walk on the driveway past the 7-Eleven and Post Office while a two-man crew was at work there, blowing precious few leaves away, but scouring the entire paved area and blowing dirt and trash around along with the few leaves. I was holding my ears, but I didn’t think to hold my breath until I had already passed into a dense cloud of pollution and taken in half a lungful. The noxiousness of the dense cloud of dirt and emissions was awful and obvious. Online I saw interviews with landscapers who said their main objective is to finish quickly and move on to the next job. A little further research showed that a number of towns nationwide have adopted ordinances banning gas-powered leaf blowers, with the usual solution being the substitution of battery-powered electric blowers, which are now just about as powerful as the gas versions, a bit quieter, and with zero-emissions. This would be a much better solution, since the landscapers should not mind converting to electric-powered versions of the type of equipment they already use, as it should not slow them down at all. And it would certainly benefit the workers, who are clearly suffering more than the rest of us from the use of such dangerously unhealthful machines. I like the town’s reminder, prompted by the pandemic, that “We are all in this together,” and I think it applies more broadly to all situations in which the action of one citizen affects all of his neighbors, as in this case of economic “externalities.” I am grateful for the wise and caring officials of the town and the volunteers and officials of the Princeton Environmental Commission and Sustainable Princeton for their efforts to address this issue. Thank you all. CHRISTOPHER J. MONROE Pine Street

Paul McCartney’s New Album Comes Full Circle
ince Christmas Day I’ve been in search of a fitting subject for the last column of 2020, a year blighted by a death toll of third-world-war magnitude and the “long cold lonely” lockdown winter-of-the-mind that began in March. But listen! — the sound of thundering hoofbeats, a fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, can it be, is it a mirage, no, here come the Four Horsemen of Melodious Apocalypse riding to our rescue from those thrilling days of yesteryear led by the unmasked Lone Ranger, Paul McCartney! Yes, like it or not, the Beatles are a pop culture absolute and 2020 is the 50th anniversary of the year they sang their scattered swan song, as McCartney preempted the debacle of Let It Be with his first solo shot in April, and George Harrison launched his November 29 triple-LP blockbuster All Things Must Pass all but on top of John Lennon’s December 11 solo outing. Now here’s Sir Paul with McCartney III, his first number one record in decades, also scheduled for a December 11 release until it was postponed for a week due to “unforeseeable production delays.” Was the shared release date purely coincidental, or a subtle gesture of auld lang syne to the Lennon-McCartney partnership? Another Beatles connection is put in play when “the long cold lonely winter” of “Here Comes the Sun” is echoed by the new album’s closing words, “We’ll fly away and find the sun when winter comes.” George’s Song of Songs It’s time to toast the inspirational song revived this spring by frontline caregivers celebrating coronavirus sur vivors sent home to live another day. Besides being the “most streamed” Beatles creation ever with over 350 million plays as of September 2019, Harrison’s “Here Comes the Sun” is the equal of anything Lennon or McCartney ever composed. George began writing his song of songs on a sunny day in April near Hurtwood Windmill, in Ewhurst Surrey, a half centur y before Paul wrote and recorded McCartney III in his studio at Hog Hill Mill in East Sussex. The connection is worth mentioning because the new McCartney has some irrepressible Beatles moves and moments, as Paul admits in his virtual interview with Chris Rock. After referring to “Seize the Day,” a new song “that suddenly got very Beatle-y” and had him asking himself should he
“go down this road,” he decided there was no reason to deny the connection: “It’s what I do, it’s the way I write songs.” When I’m 78 “Find My Way” is the first song from McCartney III chosen for release as a video and in effect the first single, in spite of the fact that the throwback Beatles energy of “Seize the Day” would seem to make it the obvious choice. Instead, McCartney begins by promising the world that he can still find his way, knows his left from right, and won’t “get lost at night” — which sounds not unlike what a 78-year-old might tell his family as he’s going out on a complicated errand. Even when he shifts to the second person (“You never used to be / Afraid of days like these / But now you’re overwhelmed / By your anxieties”), Paul seems to be addressing himself as well as the someone he’s of fer ing to help “r e ach t h e love you feel inside.” E xcept for t he call-to -life urgency of the title phrase, the inspirational momentum of “Seize the Day” is in the music, which hits its Beatles high, the moment of maximum exhilaration, when the lyric is going in the other direction, to “the cold days” when there’s “no more sun,” it’s too late, and “we’ll wish that we had held on to the day.” The most telling line may be, “I’m okay on a sunny day / When the world deserves to be bright.” Why does the world deserve to be bright? It’s an unusual question in the shoot from the hip element of rock and roll, but then this is an album recorded during a mandated lockdown with people dying worldwide in unthinkable numbers. Sad Songs Fif t y-five-year old Chris kept af ter 78-year-old Paul on the subject of age. Framing it as a way of talking to “an older guy that might know stuff,” he says, “You know, my dad died 30 years ago, so I have to take advantage whenever I’m, like, talking to somebody like you.” After an awkward shift in a lighter direction, he asks, “What was ‘old’ to
you when you were with the Beatles? ” and Paul, who recorded “When I’m 64” at the age of 25, mentions how “old” a 24-year-old looked when he and John and George were in their teens. Asked has he found “a second wind” or is he still on his first, Paul says he’s on his first and plans to live to 100. He also kids about how he always said he’d be coming onstage in a wheelchair to sing “Yesterday,” which he demonstrates by croaking the opening lines in a quavery old man’s voice. In fact, one of his most interesting statements comes in reference to his signature song: “I always had in the back of my mind something ... someone said, ‘People like sad songs.’ And it had struck me. I thought, ‘It’s kind of strange, but, yeah, people like sad songs.’ So when I was writing the words to ‘Yesterday,’ I thought, ‘Right. This could be one of those sad songs that people like.’ ” YouTube blogs bear out the universal partiality to sad songs. Again and again, regardless of the genre or ar tist, prog or sunshine pop, doo-wop or heavy metal, people will s ay a s ong “re minds me of my dad, who died 10 years ago,” or “my mom used to play this all the time.” Now and then, you get something that stands out, such as the comment I found the other day, posted in response to something not by Paul or the Beatles: “I was 16 when this song came out and life was a big mystery; I’m now 67 and dying and life is still a big mystery.” Personal Imagery My image of Paul as the unmasked Lone Ranger was inspired by the photograph featured in the CD booklet and elsewhere : a silver-haired McCartney on horseback, in Johnny Cash black, in profile, radiating stamina and strength; a close-up of the same shot minus the horse is reproduced on the back cover of the CD. In photos spread over 58 years of albums, Paul almost always looks good. That said, there are two remarkable photographs taken during t hese lockdow n /rockdow n sessions, both by his nephew Sonny McCartney.
These views of the man should warm the hearts and focus the minds of anyone still nursing a grudge against the “cute” Beatle, defamed during the break-up for being too demanding, too superior, too patronizing, too “straight.” The photos can be seen with NME’s “Track by Track” interview and on the website paulmccartneyproject.com (“Recording “McCartney III”). In the first photograph, he’s sitting in his work space, in black, his arms crossed on his chest, with an expression so unguarded, so real, you feel like apologizing for the intrusion. The caption might be “lost in thought,” except it’s not that easy. This is a man two years short of 80 feeling his age. He may be thinking of his old mates, his kids, his “Women and Wives” (the track he names when Chris Rock asks him his favorite), or his parents, his first guitar, of riding the bus to school, or nothing at all in this photographic equivalent of every sad song ever written. In the other photograph he’s seen from the side, mid-range, all but obscured by various objects in the same workspace background. Again, lost and loss are the words that come to mind. I also thought of John Lennon’s moving song, “Nowhere Man,” which in turn led me to a line in “Winter Bird/When Winter Comes,” the new album’s last song, the one that shares the spirit of “Here Comes the Sun.” It’s in the third verse, about planting some trees in the meadow where the river flows that in time to come will “make good shade for some poor soul.” Why was that term so resonant, so unlikely somehow, yet so moving in this pandemic year? veryone should see the animated v ideo Paul commissioned Geoff Dunbar to create for a 1992 song called “When Winter Comes.” Besides beautifully accompanying the album’s last track, “Winter Bird/ When Winter Comes,” the video is what made McCartney III possible. As Paul explains to NME, the reason he went into the studio in the first place was to do some music for the opening titles, end titles, and credits, “so I started jamming on the same ideas but lengthened it, and started putting it on a guitar and drums and bass.... So this is all full circle.” And so “We’ll fly away and find the sun” when “the long cold lonely winter” ends. —Stuart Mitchner

Play by Princeton Alumna for Allen and Cohen-Orth. Since then she’s gone on to Visit https ://arts.princ- a directing, producing, and Presented by Lewis Center
The first full production of a new play by Princeton University alumna Emma Catherine Watkins, inspired by the story of the first person to translate the Mabinogion – a collection of ancient Welsh stories – into English, is being presented in filmed performances January 1517 by the University’s Lewis Center for the Arts. The play is inspired by the real-life story of Lady Charlotte Guest, a Victorian housewife and mother. Much to her husband’s dismay, she aspires to become the first person to translate ancient Welsh stories into English. Through her translation, she encounters Blodeuwedd, a woman conjured from flowers as a wife for her creator and punished for her infidelity. As Charlotte struggles to reconcile her creative ambitions with 19 th century expectations of marriage and motherhood, she must also confront the power and responsibility she holds in retelling Blodeuwedd’s story. The play is performed in an outdoor setting by a cast of six Princeton students, who lived as a quarantine pod through the fall. It is presented as a filmed theatrical production. The play serves as the senior thesis

number of 50 submissions well before the deadline. T he judges noted that while people have been writing more this year, the interest in this competition was particularly strong. “The word is out that Phillips’ Mill offers emerging playwrights an opportunity to have their work critiqued by experienced judges and read by actors in a live setting,” said Valerie Eastburn, chair of drama at Phillips’ Mill Community Association. “The quality of the work this year was really impressive. We look forward to presenting the work this spring on the picturesque grounds of the Phillips’ Mill in New Hope, Pa.,” added Judy Halberg, who was a judge along with John Augustine and James Schiffer. The winning entries are by Nick DeSimone of New York City; Adam Richter of West Reading, Pa.; Jeff Stolzer of New York City; J.B. Heaps of New York City; Jim Moss of Branchburg; and Kimberly Kalaja of New York City. “It is wonderful to have these plays read on the stage at the Mill,” said Eastburn. “The feedback you get from a live audience is satisfying and instructive to the playwright, and enjoyable to the audience.” In prev ious years, the plays were performed in the historic Mill. While the timeline for the return of safe indoor gatherings remains unclear, the committee has determined that this show must go on, and plans a springtime outdoor event.

“PAN AMERICANS”: This mixed media piece by Libby Ramage is part of a new exhibit, “Travels: Domestic and aBroad,” also featuring works by Krysia Kolodziej. It will be on view in the Taplin Gallery at the Arts Council of Princeton from January 4 to January 30.
ACP Presents Works by Kolodziej and Ramage
The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) rings in 2021 with a new exhibit, “Travels: Domestic and aBroad,” featuring works by Krysia Kolodziej and Libby Ramage in the Taplin Gallery from January 4 to January 30. W hen ar tists Kolodziej and Ramage met in the early 1990s, Kolodziej was editing for Princeton University Press and writing poetry; Ramage was starting her work teaching art to very young children while making and exhibiting her own art. Both inveterate savers of ephemera, they have been supporting each other’s artmaking ever since. The artists’ say, “We have each preserved pieces of the past that spoke to us and remade them into expressions of our lives now, where all the pieces fit perfectly together.” Ramage’s mixed media pieces – with painting and drawing using acrylics and charcoal – were created from a scrapbook originally compiled by her stepfather’s mother, Hilda, a formidable woman who reigned over her family imperiously. Hilda saved everything from her once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe in 1957, hence the “aBroad” portion of the show’s title. Ramage rescued the scrapbook from the landfill and has been mining these materials for the past eight years, weaving one woman’s experience and the nostalgia of memories with her own sensibilities and creativity. Kolodziej’s work, the “Domestic” in the title, uses domestic imagery (vintage fabrics, women’s jewelry, w r i s t w atc h e s, p o s t a g e stamps, dressmaker’s patterns, zippers and buttons, thread, even the pieces of a broken-down piano) and techniques (sewing, for example) combined with mixed media techniques and collage to create visual poems.
These reference the hours of unpaid labor of women not in the paid workforce – but for whom the home was/ is the workplace – or that same labor expended after completing a full-time job. Items from the traditionally male domain are also present: pieces of wood, nuts and bolts, and/or electronic bits, all from Kolodziej’s late father’s workbench. The Ar ts Council of Princeton is located at 102 Witherspoon Street. Taplin Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit artscouncilofprinceton.org.
Open Call: Michener Museum Seeks Photos for Exhibit

No professional photography experience necessary to apply and smartphone photos are admissible. As the United States was confronted with the coronavirus pandemic, racial injustice, political protest, and a heated presidential election, 2020 will be long remembered as a year of upheaval and uncertainty. During these challenging times, the creation and sharing of images has raised awareness, communicated information, spread hope, and strengthened connections. The focus of this exhibition is to identify how different people interpret what work
is essential for our health, well-being, and a more equitable future. The Michener is working with a panel of judges to choose images to be included in the show. Selected submitted work will be of good image quality, provide a creative and thought-provoking response to the call’s theme, and present a diversity of vision. Photographs may be submitted to michenerartmuseum.org. Each person whose work is selected will be presented with a one-year Individual Membership to the Michener Art Museum. Chosen work may be featured on the Michener’s website, social media, promotional material, and publications. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa.

S
taying well and healthy is uppermost on all our minds — probably more than ever before as we continue to cope with COVID-19. Practically no one in the U.S. has experienced a pandemic of this magnitude (very few people are still alive who remember the deadly flu pandemic of 1918). The current ordeal has brought seemingly unending challenges.
IT’S NEW To Us
All those who have worked hard to help us through this nightmare deserve our admiration and appreciation. Of course, that includes all the heath care workers who, day in and day out, save lives. The Capital Health Medical Group, an affiliate of Capital Health Medical Center, is committed to providing patients with the best care available. With locations in and around Mercer and Burlington Counties as well as Bucks County, Pa., it offers an extensive network of care, including more than 400 physicians and other providers who offer primary, specialty, and surgical care. 20 of the locations are for primary care, and 85 primary care physicians are affiliated with the Group. Wellness Care The Princeton office is located at 811 Executive Drive, Building 8, but in March, it will move to 300 Witherspoon Street, where it will be a neighbor to Homestead Princeton gift shop, which recently moved to this location. Formerly home to the Princeton Packet, this site will offer attractive and convenient office space for the Medical Group. Five board-certified physicians will see patients in the
new location, and be available for wellness care and complete annual physical exams, as well as management of acute and chronic medical conditions. In addition to treating the broad range of medical disorders — from head and back aches to sore throats, coughs, and bronch it is, most doctors today are continually on the lookout for COVID symptoms, and are also taking extra precautions to keep non-COVID patients safe. “We have continued to treat patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have gone to great lengths to keep our patients safe,” says Jerrold S. Gertzman, MD. “We offer telemedicine (video) for initial evaluation of patients with possible C0VID symptoms, and then follow them closely and evaluate them further with inperson visits and diagnostic testing when needed.” As division director for Primary Care of the Capital Health Medical Group, Dr. Gertzman oversees all primary care offices of the Medical Group. In addition, he sees patients in Lawrencev ille and Hamilton three days a week. “We have treated thousands of people by telemedicine,” he continues. “At the onset of the pandemic we saw approximately 90 percent of our patients via telemedicine. Now it has converted to traditional inperson office visits for most patients, although telemedicine is always an option, if that is what the patient feels comfortable doing. Lately, we have been seeing approximately 25 percent of our patients by video visit.” Topic of Conversation While COVID is the topic of conversation of the day, Dr. Gertzman points out that the majority of cases he and the other primary care physicians see are non-COVID related. “Most of our patient

“God bless us, everyone!”
visits are for routine followup of chronic medical problems such as asthma, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions. In addition, we perform many routine wellness physicals. We see plenty of colds and sinus infections as well as back pain and headaches too.” The COVID cases have continued to come, however, and there is no question that New Jersey has had its share. The doctors and nurses are dedicated to providing the best care for these patients, says Dr. Gertzman. “Physicians at Capital Health Medical group have treated hundreds and hundreds of COVID patients of all ages — from infants to the very elderly. Capital Health treats hospitalized patients with state-of-theart medical therapies. We remain up-to-date on the continually advancing science when it comes to treating COVID-19. In the outpatient world, we follow every COVID patient very closely — from the time they are discharged from the hospital until they are well. “Our primary goal is to prevent the need for a patient to be hospitalized. Again, it is easier to keep people healthy than to get them healthy once they become sick. For people we suspect of having COVID, we offer testing at one of our many outpatient facilities. We evaluate people via telemedicine and offer inperson exams and X-rays when needed.” Testing can be arranged by any of the primary care physicians, he adds, and patients will be given a specific time to come for the test. CDC Guidelines Dr. Gertzman does not believe it is necessary for an individual without symptoms to be tested. However, he points out that “once someone develops symptoms suggestive of COVID, they can be tested in order to determine how long they need to quarantine and so that their close contacts can gauge how long they need to be isolated until they can be confident they have not contracted the virus. “Anyone can request a test through one of our primary care physicians although we need to be judicious in whom we refer for testing.
Unfortunately, there is still a shortage of tests available so we need to reserve tests for patients who absolutely need them. “There are options online for people who need a test so they can travel or attend some kind of event. There is not, however, any need for people to re-test once they have recovered from COVID-19. There is really no indication for people to get a test after they have recovered. Following the current CDC guidelines, once someone is 10 days from onset of symptoms and symptoms are improved, then they can consider themselves no longer contagious as long as they are 24 hours without a fever.” He certainly advises everyone to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and others from getting the virus. “People should practice social distancing and wear masks whenever they are in the presence of anyone outside their closest circle. In addition, carry hand sanitizer and use it often when you are out in public places.” The next two months have been predicted to bring even more infections, and it is advisable to avoid being in large gatherings or traveling. Even for those fortunate e n o u g h to e s c a p e g e tting the virus, the last ten months have taken a toll in many ways. The lack of human contact is depressing to many. The never-ending financial worries; the uncertainty of not knowing when it will end; and the inability to come and go as one pleases (something always taken for granted in the past) are all part of the new norm for so many of us today. While many people have adopted dogs and cats as new companions dur ing this time, and others have taken up cycling and other outdoor exercise programs, or engaged in new hobbies or online courses, for others, it has been a bleak, dark daily struggle. Emotional Support “Nearly everyone has been feeling the stress from this pandemic,” explains Dr. Gertzman. “The isolation can be terrible, especially when compounded by financial stress and fears about one’s health. People should reach out to the people in their lives. Offer emotional support and ask for support when needed. The best way to cope with the isolation

Physicians at Capital Health Medical Group Treat Patients For a Variety of Medical Issues
HEALTH AND WELLNESS: “Our philosophy is that it is easier to keep you healthy than to get you healthy after you become sick. So we have a great focus on preventive medicine and lifestyle modification to maximize health. We are also wellequipped and experienced to diagnose and treat illness, and help people restore their good health.” Jerrold S. Gertzman, MD, is a primary care physician and division director for Primary Care of the Capital Health Medical Group. is to maintain your social circle, even if that is mostly virtual/online. I’ve been impressed by how much people benefit from visual (Zoom) parties and visual Happy Hours. People have become very creative, sending videos to each other and posting uplifting messages on social media. “In addition, there is no substitute for good nutrition and routine exercise. Even though gyms are closed or if people feel uncomfortable going to gyms because of the virus, they can and should continue to exercise. There are many great online options for exercise — classes, videos, etc. People have had a lot of fun and great success arranging exercise groups online with their friends, but working out at home by yourself is also easy to do. Now that so many people are working from home, they should spend the time they formerly used commuting for exercise.” Now, with recent news of a new strain of the virus in England, many people are concerned that we will face yet another pandemic to worry about. “Vir uses mutate and change over time,” points out Dr. Gertzman. “So far, it does not seem that the strain they discovered in the UK is any more lethal or dangerous than others. So far, there is every reason to be confident that one’s natural immunity or the vaccines that are being distributed will protect you from the virus, including the strains recently identified in the U.K. “We are learning more and more about COVID-19 every day. From what we know, people who have the virus develop antibodies. This protects them from reinfection for any where between three months and a year, potentially more. We will continue to find out more as time goes on.” As 2020 approaches its final days, most of us are glad to see it go, and hope for a better New Year. Acts of Kindness And despite all the hardships and struggle, it should
not be forgotten that many individuals, companies, organizations, and houses of worship have reached out again and again to help people. Checking on neighbors, running errands for them, contributing to food pantries, arranging for food deliveries — the list goes on, including unexpected random acts of kindness. As Dr. Gertzman points out, “There are a lot positive, uplifting things that have come out of the pandemic. Americans are resilient people. They step up and face challenges and help their neighbors. Americans cope and Americans find solutions. While there has been tremendous loss with the pandemic, and an unthinkable number of people have died, we have risen to these challenges and prevented far more illness and saved many more lives thanks to our health care system and our research scientists.” Indeed, throughout it all, there have been those special heroes of 2020. The first responders, the grocery store clerks, the restaurants trying to keep their doors open or shifting to outdoor service, and certainly, the health care professionals — doctors, nurses, technicians, aides, and other providers. For them, the daily impact and exposure to the virus is relentless and daunting. “Health care workers are certainly feeling stressed, although they are coping well,” reports Dr. Gertzman. “Once the initial shortage of PPE resolved at the beginning of the pandemic, health care workers were wellprotected. It is still a very stressful situation at times, but our training and dedication allows us to handle it well.” Those who live their lives caring for others often risk their own, and that should always be remembered. or more information on Capital Health Medical Group, call the Princeton office at (609) 3034600, or visit the website at capitalhealth.org or capital health.org/princeton. —Jean Stratton

2020 SPORTS YEAR IN REVIEW
Although COVID-19 Pandemic Put World on Pause, Local Sports Teams Still Made 2020 a Memorable Year
A
s 2020 headed into March, local sports teams were enjoying a memorable winter campaign. Over at Princeton University, the wrestling team produced an historic breakthrough, edging Cornell 1913 to snap a 32-match losing streak to the Big Red and earn the program’s first Ivy League title since 1986.
The Tigers women’s hockey team made some history of its own, winning the prog r a m’s f ir s t- ever ECAC Hockey championship and posting a 26-6-1 record. At Jadwin Gym, Carla Berube made a stunning debut as the head coach of the Tiger women’s basketball program, guiding Princeton to a 26-1 overall record and a 14-0 Ivy campaign with

The 6’4 native of Bethesda, Md., ended up first in program history in points (1,703), blocks (249), and double-doubles (40).

the squad rising to No. 17 in national polls. On the high school scene, the Princeton High boys’ hockey team produced a comeback for the ages in the Mercer County Tournament final. Trailing six-time defending champion Hun 5-0 in the second period, PHS rallied to pull out a dramatic 7-5 win and earn the program’s first county crow n since 2011. T he Stuart Country Day School hoops team emerged as one of the best squads in New Jersey, winning its third straight state Prep B title and advancing to the MCT final for the first time in program history on the way to posting a 21-7 record. Featuring a gritty group of battle-tested veterans, the Princeton Day School boys’ basketball team went on the road and defeated Doane Academy 64-50 in the state Prep B final. But then storm clouds rolled in on the horizon as the COVID-19 pandemic started spreading worldwide, putting the health of millions in jeopardy. The Ivy League sensed the danger before others, canceling its men’s and women’s basketball postseason tournaments on March 10. A day later, after Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz of the NBA tested positive for the coronavirus, the sports world came to a halt across the globe. Within days, the NCAA canceled the winter and spring seasons with students across the country being sent home to shelter in place. The pro hockey and basketball leagues put their seasons on hold while Major League Baseball postponed opening day indefinitely. The New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) canceled the rest of the winter season right away and later pulled the plug on spring sports as well. Stuck at home, college and high school athletes kept in contact with their teammates and coaches
on their computers via the Zoom calls that became a way of life. Players devised creative ways of working out and maintaining team bonds as they waited to get back into action. With masking up, social distancing, and frequent hand washing becoming daily staples, sports gingerly started to stick its toe back in the water observing those safety protocols. In New Jersey, a “Last Dance” high school baseball tournament was held in July to give the players, particularly graduating seniors, a final taste of diamond action. On the pro level, leagues gradually returned to action with the NBA, NHL, and W NBA operating in so-called “bubbles” with athletes located at one site, getting frequently tested for COVID-19 and living under strict protocols. Big league baseball played a sharply limited schedule which went from late July to October with 60 games as opposed to the usual 162. Once the fall rolled around, the NFL and major college football did resume action on the gridiron. But with the pandemic still raging, there were a number of pauses, postponements, and cancellations, particularly at the college level. Once again, the Iv y League, ever mindful of athletes’ safety, canceled its fall competition. In November, the league pulled the plug on its winter sports as well. As for New Jersey, the NJSIA A did give the goahead to fall sports, delaying the start of the season and promulgating a series of rules and protocols to deal with COVID-19. Princeton schools responded enthusiastically and carefully, excited to have a fall season but determined to keep the athletes safe. Once the action started, there was a sense of gratitude among the athletes, as win-loss records took a backseat to simply getting the chance to compete. Making the most out of that chance, a number of local teams produced memorable campaigns. The PHS girls’ cross country team went undefeated in duals and won the first sectional title at the Group 4 level in

The PHS girls’ tennis went undefeated in regular season action, winning the Colonial Valley Conference title before falling in the sectional semis. Over at PDS, the girls’ soccer team lost its opener and then reeled off a 10game w inning streak to end the fall at 10-1 while both the Panther girls’ cross country and girls’ tennis teams never tasted a loss as they went undefeated. Hun cross country star junior Harry Carter solidified his status as one of the top runners in school history, clocking a time of 16:52 to win the Boys’ Varsity White 5,000-meter race in the XC 7-on-7 Invitational at Thompson Park. Picking up where it left off from a superb 2019 season, Stuart field hockey went 5-31, highlighted by a 4-1 win over Princeton Day School, a 2-1 triumph against Bordentown, and a pair of victories over Hun. PU — Winter t proved to be an historic winter for Princeton University sports even though the season ended abruptly due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Led by the high-scoring trio of sophomore Sarah Fillier, sophomore Maggie Connors, and senior Carly Bullock, the Princeton women’s hockey team
I
produced a landmark campaign, culminating with the program’s first-ever ECAC H o c ke y c h a m p i o n s h i p. Coach Cara Morey’s squad was ranked in the top 10 nationally throughout the winter and posted a 26-6-1 final record, setting a program record for most wins in a season. In the ECAH best-of-three quarterfinals, second-seeded Princeton held off seventh-seeded Quinnipiac, as it got pushed to a double overtime in a decisive third game which it won 3-2 on a goal by Fillier. In the semis, the Tigers pulled away to a 5-1 win over third-seeded Clarkson. In the final at first-seeded and top-ranked Cornell, Princeton fell behind 2-0 early in the contest only to rally for a 3-2 win in overtime. Earning their third NCAA appearance in the last five seasons, the sixth-ranked Tigers were slated to play at Northeastern, the Hockey East champs, in the quarterfinals. As Princeton was preparing for the trip to Boston, it learned that the winter season and the N C A A tou r n a m e nt h a d been canceled due to the pandemic. Fillier, who tallied 20 goals and 34 assists on the season, was named as an AHCA (American Hockey Coaches Association) second-team All-American and selected for the USCHO Continued on Next Page

Fillier and Bullock were selected to the All-ECACH First-Team while Connors, who notched 21 goals and 23 assists, and senior defenseman Claire Thompson (7 goals, 16 assists) were third-team honorees.
On a chilly Sunday afternoon in February, the wrestling team fired up a throng at Jadwin Gym, edging Cornell 19-13 to snap a 32-match losing streak to the Big Red and earning the program’s first Ivy League title since 1986. Sophomore Travis Stefanik clinched the win by posting a victory at 184 pounds, sending the crowd of 1,049 into a frenzy. Princeton head coach Chris Ayres,

whose team went 0-35 in his first two season as the helm (2006-2008), spread the credit around as he reflected on the program’s turnaround. “There’s just been a lot of people that I feel so grateful that stuck it out, and this is theirs too,” said Ayres. “It’s the kids, for sure. They did the work today, but getting them to that point is alumni, it’s the administration, it’s all the parents, the families, so we just have a great, fabulous network that builds our program right now that has been phenomenal.” The Tigers went on to go 9-4 overall and 5-0 Ivy and took fifth at the EIWA (Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association) Championships. Sophomore Patrick Glory, the EIWA champion at 125 pounds, was named the Ivy Wrestler of the Year. Glory, senior Matthew Kolodzik, the EIWA winner at 149, sophomore Quincy Monday (157), sophomore Grant Cuomo (165), Stefanik (184), and junior Patrick Brucki (197) each qualified for the NCAA Championships. The six stars, though, never got a chance to wrestle for a national title as the meet was canceled. When head coach Courtney Banghart left her job as the head coach of the Tigers women’s basketball team in the spring of 2019 to take over the North Carolina program after a spectacular 12-year tenure that saw her post a Tiger record in victories with a 254-103 overall mark, there were questions as to whether Princeton could continue its Ivy dominance.
New coach Carla Berube, coming to Princeton after making Tuf ts Universit y into a Division III women’s hoops powerhous e, an swered those questions in the affirmative. Installing a suffocating defensive style and riding the offensive heroics of senior superstar Bella Alarie, Berube guided the Tigers to a 26-1 overall record and a 14-0 Ivy campaign as Princeton rose to 17th in one of the national polls. Princeton ended regular season play riding a 22game winning streak and was poised for a deep postseason run, starting with the Ivy postseason tournament. However, when the Ivy tourney became one of the first of cancellations resulting from the pandemic, the NCAA tournament was subsequently nixed and the Tigers’ postseason dreams died. Alarie, for her part, was named Ivy League Player of the Year for the third straight season and became the first league player to be selected as two-time Associated Press All-American. She averaged 17.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, and 2.3 assists in 23 games. The 6’4 native of Bethesda, Md., ended up first in program history in points (1,703), blocks (249), and double - doubles ( 40 ) . In April, Alarie got selected fifth overall by the Dallas Wings in the first round of the WNBA Draft. Junior point guard Carlie Littlefield made some history of her own, passing the 1,000-point mark in her career. She was named a firstteam All-Ivy performer for
RECORD BREAKER: Princeton University men’s lacrosse attackman Michael Sowers heads to goal in a 2020 game.

But coach Ron Fogarty’s team saved its best for last, sweeping sixth-seeded Dartmouth in a best-of-three first round
playoff series, posting a pair of overtime victories, 4-3 in the opener and 5-4 in the clincher.

PU — Spring hile the cancellation of the spring season across college sports meant that none of the Princeton University crew or track teams got to compete at all in 2020, some Tiger athletes did make their presence felt in action that took place in late February and early March. Superstar senior attackman Michael Sowers tallied 47 points on 16 goals and 31 assists in just five games for men’s lacrosse. Sparked by Sowers’ heroics, Princeton went 5-0 as the Tigers rose to No. 3 in the national polls before the season was halted. Coach Matt Madalon’s squad posted wins over defending national champion Virginia, perennial power Johns Hopkins, and local rival Rutgers as it shot up the rankings.

PU in the Pros ver the summer and into the fall as professional sports resumed, several Princeton alums distinguished themselves. Former Tiger men’s hockey star Jeff Halpern ’99 helped coach the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Stanley Cup as the team topped the Dallas Stars in the finals in late September. By earning the Cup, assistant coach Halpern joined a select club of Princeton alums who have tasted that glory including George Parros ’03 as a player with Anaheim in 2007, Brent Flahr ’96 as a scout with Anaheim in 2007, Kevin Westgarth ’07 as a player with Los Angeles in 2012, and Chris Patrick ’98 as a director of player development with Washington in 2018. Tw o o t h e r P r i n c e t o n hockey alums, Taylor Fedun ’11 and Eric Robinson ’18, also competed in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Defenseman Fedun helped the Stars reach the final while forward Robinson notched his first career postseason goal as the Columbus Blue Jackets were knocked out in the first round. T he Premier L acrosse League (PLL) conducted its 2020 season in a bubble,
O
holding a PLL Championship Series in Herriman, Utah, from July 25-August 9, and three former Princeton men’s lax stars Tom Schreiber ’14, Ryan Ambler ’16, and Zach Currier ’17 played prominent roles in the competition. Schreiber and Amber helped the Archers Lacrosse Club reach the semifinals while Currier starred for the Waterdogs, who fell in their Elimination Round opener. Schreiber, for his part, solidified his status as one of the PLL’s marquee players, winning the Gait Brothers Award as the league’s top midfielder for a second straight year. Princeton baseball alum Mike Ford ’15 helped the New York Yankees make the Major League Baseball playoffs. The first baseman/designated hitter hit .135 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 29 games.

’08 competed in the Nat ion a l Wom e n’s S o c c e r League (NWSL) Challenge Cup in Herriman, Utah. Lussi helped the Portland Thorns reach the semis while Matheson saw Utah Royals fall on penalties to eventual champion Houston in the quarterfinals. With the Ivy League canceling fall and winter competition, Princeton fans got to follow the fortunes of three former Tiger football players who saw action in the NFL — Stephen Carlson ’19, John Lovett ’19, and Seth DeValve ’16. Carlson made an impact at tight end and special teams for the Cleveland Browns as they got thems elves in content ion to make the playoffs for the first time since 2002. He made a catch in a 27-25 win over Jacksonville on November 29. After making the practice squad for the Kanas City Chiefs in 2019 on their way to winning the Super Bowl, Lovett caught on with the Green Bay Packers. Lovett was elevated from the Packers pract ice s quad and played in the team’s first eight games. Used mostly as a blocking fullback and on special teams by Green Bay, Lovett stepped in as a runner and carried three times for six yards during the Packers’ 34-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on November 5. Lovett saw his season end in November due to a knee injury. Having previously played for the Cleveland Browns and the Jacksonville Jaguars, DeValve signed with the Arizona Cardinals in late November and was back on the gridiron in New Jersey on December 13, playing for the Cardinals against the New York
Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Hun ophomore guards Dan Vessey and Jack Scott star red as the Hun S chool boys’ basketball team produced a late surge to end up at 12-14. Coach Jon Stone’s team struggled in the early going, starting 4-9 before finding a groove and earning some impressive wins down the stretch on the way to the state Prep A semis. Led by the high-scoring trio of post-graduate Enya Maguire, junior Kennedy Jardine, and junior Izzy Lalo, girls’ basketball enjoyed a superb campaign. Coach Bill Holup led the Raiders to an 18-7 record as the team upset Lawrenceville 61-55 in the state Prep A semis to earn a spot in the final. Falling just short of earning its sevent h straight Mercer Cou nt y Tour nament title, boys’ hockey posted a 9-14-2 final record. Coach Ian McNally’s squad advanced to the MCT final where it led Princeton High 5-0 early in the second period only to fall 7-5 and see its title streak end at six years. The Raiders also advanced to the MidAtlantic Hockey League (MAHL) semis where they fell 2-1 to top-seeded Lawrenceville. A trio of juniors, Eddie Evaldi, Elliot Lareau, and Charles Lavoie, triggered the offense for Hun. Showing progress, boys’ swimming took ninth in the team standings at the Mercer County Championships. Noting that a number of swimmers advanced to the A and B individual finals at the meet after having none the year before, coach Joan Nuse liked the way her squad competed. Abbie Danko led the way as girls’ swimming finished sixth at the Mercer County
S
Ch a m p i on s h ip s. S e n i or Danko placed first in the 200 individual medley and four th in the 100 backstroke. Coach Joan Nuse also got a third place finish in the 100 butterfly from senior Marie Eve-Hebert in the county meet. The Hun boys’ lacrosse squad was one of the few teams in the area that actually got to play some games this spring before the season was canceled. With coach Jeff Snow taking the helm of the program, Hun fell 14-9 to St. Stephens & St. Agnes School (Va.) in its season opener on March 10 and then lost 13-12 to Penn Charter (Pa.) a day later. But by the end of the week, schools were closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and then weeks later the spring sports season was formally canceled. In June, longtime college and pro coach Jim Stagnitta was hired to lead
the Raiders heading into the 2020-21 school year. T he passing combination of quarterback Marco Sainez and receiver Mason Shipp helped power the football squad. The pair connected for some key touchdowns as coach Todd Smith guided the Raiders to a 3-3 record in a season limited by COVID-19 concerns. With seniors Sydney C obb, K ayla H a m pton, Elizabeth Ji, Rosie Martinez, Aimee Millington, Renee Nearing, and Allison Rho setting a positive tone, field hockey stuck together as they worked through COVID-19 restrictions. Coach Tracey Arndt’s team competed hard as it went 1-6. Installing a new possession-oriented style, boys’ soccer laid the foundation for future success. Coach Pat Quirk’s squad posted a
1-5 record as seniors Amar Anand, Alex Donahue, Sam Labrecque, and Levin Sanchez Willems led the way. Displaying intensity on a daily basis, girls’ soccer s howe d s om e of fens ive firepower as it went 0-4-1. Coach Jenn Barrett’s team ended the season with a 2-2 tie against Conwell Egan (Pa.) and scored two goals and three goals in a pair of losses to powerhouse Pennington. Barrett credited seniors Anna Hyson, Chloe Hill, Abigail Trimble, and Ashleigh Patasnick with helping the team develop deep bonds as the Raiders worked through a challenging fall. H a r r y C a r te r s e t t h e pace as cross country enjoyed a productive season even though the state prep and county championship meets were canceled. Junior star Carter won the Boys’ Varsity White race at
the XC 7-on-7 Invitational in late October at Thompson Park, posting a time of 16:52 over the 5,000-meter course. He also recorded a personal-best 16:23 for fourth place in the Central Jersey XC Shootout earlier in the month on the same T hompson Park course. Coach Kurt Wayton’s squad had no seniors this fall so the future looks bright for the program. With senior co-captain Sophia Lin playing well at second singles and setting an example with her commitment, girls’ tennis made the most out of a season shor tened by COV ID -19 concerns. Coach Joan Nuse returned to guide the program after an eight-year hiatus during which she was leading other teams at the school. Under Nuse, the Raiders went 3-2-2 and

basketball kept competing through a tough campaign. Coach Liz Loughlin guided the squad to a 3-20 record. Earning some memorable victories, boys’ hockey went 7-11-1. Coach Scott Bertoli’s squad posted overtime wins against local rivals Lawrenceville (3-2 on January 23) and Hun (4-2 on December 18) and edged perennial state power Delbarton (2-1 on January 9). The team’s seniors, Chris C e c i l a , S te p h a n G o r e lenkov, and the Sherman twins, Justin and David, led the way in those tight contests. A trio of seniors, Ellie Schofield along with the Haggerty twins, Caroline and Charlotte, displayed a strong work ethic in leading girls’ hockey. Coach John Ritchie guided the Panthers to a 10-11 record in his debut season at the helm of the program. Although the county and state prep tour naments were canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, girls soccer displayed championship form. After losing its season opener to Monroe, PDS reeled off 10 straight wins to end the season at 10-1.
The winning streak was highlighted by a 2-1 win at defending state Group 4 and perennial powerhouse Hunterdon Central in early November. Coach Pat Trombetta’s squad got offensive firepower from senior Kelly Beal and freshman Adriana Salzano while seniors Jules Romano, Anna Ellwood, and Sophie Miranda patrolled the midfield and back line. A strong senior group of Will Sedgley, Jacques Hughes, Fabio Yales, Alexander Liu Nowakoski, M a r k S a nt a m a r i a, S te phen Chukumba, Hector Capeilleres, Bruno Cucch i, A ida n Mc Ch e s n e y, and Trevor Kunkle set a positive tone for boys’ soccer. Coach Olllie Hilliker’s squad played well down the stretch in ending up with a 6-5-1 record. Hiller went out with his senior class as he stepped down from the program after a superb five-year run which saw the Panthers win the state Prep B title in 2016. Featuring three singles stars in freshman Emmy Demorre, sophomore Neha Khandkar, and sophomore Amy Zhou, girls’ tennis produced a memorable season,
going 11-0. First-year head coach Chr is Rosensteel credited senior doubles stars Hayden Masia, Hannah Van Dusen, and Gabrielle Namouni with playing a key role in helping the squad come together and develop a special competitive fire. Coming on strong over the final weeks of the season, field hockey finished the fall with four straight wins to end with a 5-4 record. Coach Heather Farlow credited her seniors, captains Gianna Gasparro, Skye Harris, Olivia Phillips, and Aaliyah Sayed along with Hannah Choe and Caroline Topping, with keeping the squad on the right track. With senior star Gunnar Clingman leading the way, boys’ cross country enjoyed a fine season. Coach John Woodside’s squad went 4-3, performing well in both the XC 7-on-7 Invitational at Thompson Park on October 24 and at its Home Prep Invitational a week later. Clingman set PDS course records on two occasions this fall, clocking a 17:48 time over the 5,000-meter lay-out in a meet on October 6 and then dropping the

Producing a comeback for the ages, boys’ hockey overcame a 5-0 second period deficit to six-time defending champion Hun in the Mercer County Tournament championship game to pull out a 7-5 win and earn its first county crown since 2011. Senior star Rocco Salvato tallied four goals and an assist to help spark the rally.

Windsor/ Plainsboro 2219 on October 12, 2018. With a strong junior class that features quarterback Jaxon Petrone, receiver Jaiden Johnson, running back Lehehmoo Pwee, and receiver Everaldo Ser vil along with linemen Ben Boyden-Bailey, Giancarlo Momo, and Jason Ling, coach Charlie Gallagher believes the team can build on the progress made this fall. Senior Shoshi Henderson and junior Olivia Weir sparked the attack while juniors Grace Rebak and A leena Inayat anchored the defense as field hockey produced another strong season. Coach Heather Serverson guided the team to an 8-2 record as the Tigers saw their season end with a 1-0 loss to Hillsborough in the Central West B sectional quarterfinals. With a strong group of returning players that features juniors Weir, Rebak, Frankie deFaria, Stella Matsukawa, Erin Kiesewetter, and Inayat along with sophomores Hannah Christopher, Kayla Christopher, Erin Cooke, and Gianna DiGioacchino, Serverson sees a bright future for the program. Juniors Sophia Lis and Megan Rougas formed a potent one-two scoring punch as girls’ soccer emerged as one of the top squads in the Colonial Valley Conference. Coach Val Rodriguez’s squad went 9-3-1, posting victories over such tough foes as Robbinsville (2-0 on October 10), Notre Dame (4-3 in overtime on October 14), and Steinert (1-0 on November 13). Rodriguez credited the te a m’s s en ior g roup of L ily G abr iello, Vanes s a Ponce, Grace Heilbronn,
Chr istina T kac, Phoebe Fran kel, Ava T homson, A shley Tam, and Greta B u s h w it h cont r ibut i ng team chemistry, passion, and hard work as the Tigers advanced to the Central West C (Group 4) sectional quarterfinals. Featuring some scoring threats in seniors Nick Petruso, Youri Laoui, and Ian Pompliano with a defense keyed by senior goalie Jared Bell along with classmates Dylan Parker, Ethan Parker, and Rafa Davis, the boys’ soccer enjoyed a stellar campaign. The Tigers won five of their last six regular season games and then went on a stirring run in the Central West B Group 4 sectional. The top-seeded Tigers defeated eighthseeded Watchung Hills 2-0 in the quarterfinals and then cruised to a 5-0 victory over fif th -seeded Hightstow n in the semis. In the final, PHS hosted second-seeded and perennial powerhouse Hunterdon Central in a contest that turned into a thrilling battle that saw the Tigers fall 1-0. Coach Wayne Sutcliffe’s team ended the fall with a 9-3-1 record. With freshmen Shaila Iyer and Eva Lependorf emerging as stars at first and second singles, respectively, girls’ tennis produced an 11-0 regular season record and won the Colonial Valley Conference title. Coach S a r a h H i b b e r t ’s s q u a d advanced to the Central West A (Group 4) sectional semifinals where it fell 3-2 to Hunterdon Central. Ending up with a 12-1 record, the prospects look good for the Tigers with six of their top seven players slated to return. Senior Jacob Bornstein led t he pack and sophomore Marty Brophy emerged as a star for boys’
cross country. Brophy led the way for the Tiger boys, taking 14th at the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional in a time of 17:11.10 over the 5,000-meter course with Bornstein finishing 27th in 17:25.80. Coach Jim Smirk’s team placed fifth in the team standings at the meet. Utilizing its depth, girls’ cross country made history as it won the program’s first-ever sectional title at the Group 4 level. The Tigers placed first in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional meet in mid-November at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. PHS had a score of 49 with runner-up Montgomery coming in at 54. Hunterdon Central was third with 100 points. Senior Charlotte Gilmore led the way in fourth place, clocking a time of 19:32.50 over the 5,000-meter course. Freshman Kyleigh Tangen placed sixth in 19: 59.30 while sophomore Lucy Kreipke was seventh in 20:04.50. S ophomore Robin Rot h finished 10th in 20:16.70 and senior Yana Medvedeva took 22nd in 20:55.70. Coach Jim Smirk’s squad went undefeated in Colonial Valley Conference duals this fall leading up to the sectional victory. Stuart he trio of Alex Otto m a n e l l i, H e at h e r Kwafo, and Cara Carr led the way as the Stuart Country Day School track team won its third straight state Prep B indoor championship meet. Senior Ottomanelli placed first in the 55 hurdles and 800 and helped the 4x400 relay prevail at the meet while senior Kwafo placed first in both the 55 dash and 200. Junior Carr took second in the 400 and was part of the winning 4x400 relay. Coach
Len Klepack also got a win from sophomore Audrey Blandford in the high jump. Featuring a balanced offense with Laila Fair and Ariel Jenkins dominating in the paint and guards Aleah James, Jasmine Hansford, and Nia Melvin starring on the perimeter, the basketball program reached new heights. Coach Justin Leith guided his squad to its third straight state Prep B title and its first-ever appearance in the Mercer County Tournament final. While the second-seeded Tartans fell 60-43 to top-seeded and defending champion Trenton Catholic Academy in the county championship game,
that defeat didn’t dim what had been accomplished in a memorable 21-7 campaign. Led by a group of seniors i n cl u d i n g M ol ly L ag ay, Ja n ia h Ada m s, Mor ga n John, Catherine Mar tin, Lia Bull-Krieg, and Amaris Frink, the field hockey team made progress even in a season limited by COVID -19 concerns. Coach Missy Bruvik’s squad finished 5-3-1, highlighted by a 4-1 win over Princeton Day School, a 2-1 triumph against Bordentown, and a pair of victories over Hun. With such standout returners as juniors Keya Patel, Kaitlyn Magnani, Audrey Blandford, sophomore Lily
Harlin, and freshmen Elise Prince and Isabel Milley, Bruvik believes there is a good foundation going forward for the program. With a strong senior class including captains Melanie Burgess and Katheryn Ix along with Cara Carr, Misha Meyer, Olivia Giblin, and Sophia Scheulov, cross country made the most out of the fall. Coach Len Klepack’s squad took third in the Prep Invitational meet held on Oc tober 31 at Princeton Day School as Burgess, Ix and junior Trinity Boughton had strong performances at the competition. —Bill Alden

Su zanne was a strong woman of God whose life was transformed through her faith in Jesus. She was an active member of Nassau Christian Center for many years. Through her strong faith and belief in the power of prayer, she was always a source of encouragement to her family and friends. Her witness and testimony of faith in Jesus will be part of her legacy passed on to many who knew her. Suzanne was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. Together she and George enjoyed traveling and supporting their children and then grandchildren in sports and musical performances. Words often used to describe Suzanne are kind, quick witted, giving, thoughtful, honest, considerate, helpful, and generous. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff at Acorn Glen Assisted Living who cared for both Suzanne and George for several years.

Mary Maxine Stadele Mary Maxine Stadele, 74, of Belle Mead, New Jersey, passed away on December 17, 2020 due to complications from cancer. Affectionately known as “Max,” she died peacefully at home with family by her side. Maxine was born on January 22, 1946 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Anne and Russell Bennett and grew up in Glen Burnie, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore. As a successful model she was discovered by television talent scouts and at the age of 16 was featured prominently as a lead cast member on t he famed Buddy Dean Show, which was the inspiration for the popular film Hairspray. After leaving the show, she pursued a career in her other love: art and antiques. Maxine ultimately opened Ladylike Antiques in Flemington, New Jersey. She built a thriving business where collectors, interior decorators, and even set designers acquired unique pieces. W h e n M a x i n e w a s n’t scouring auction houses and estate sales, she enjoyed film and theater to such a degree that she decided to take up an acting career of her own. She appeared in numerous showcase plays with Group Productions in New York City. Her credits include Deus Ex Machina and Mona in the Morning. Maxine also had a deep passion for horseback riding and charity work. She was a devoted fundraiser for a variety of institutions including the Matheny School, the United States Equestrian Team, and the Somerset Medical Center. Maxine’s beloved husband of 53 years, Lee Stadele, passed away on December 26. She is lovingly remembered by her two sons, Owen Stadele and Bill Venizelos; their wives, Elizabeth Stadele and Cynthia Venizelos; her grandchildren, Will, Virginia, Sullivan and Weston; and her former husband, John Venizelos.

which usually performed at Washington Crossing State Park open air theater during the late ’70s and early ’80s. Shirley sang in performances such as The Pirates of Penzance, HMS Pinafore, and The Mikado. She enjoyed participating as a member of the Acapella choir at the Trenton War Memor ial Building. Every chance Shirley had, she would get involved in theater, vocal performance, and opera. Shirley also enjoyed the ocean and spent many summers at their home in Barnegat Light on LBI. During the winter holidays, Shirley and William would spend time in Puerto Rico at the ESJ Towers. Shirley is survived by her loving husband William; two children, Pamela Lahoda, her husband Eric, Michael Nicholson, his wife Sarun; her grandchildren, Sarah and Jason Lahoda, Mya, Sofie and William Nicholson Jr.; and her beloved sister, Beverly Swords. The family would like to thank Dr. Barile, Atkins Care and Susan and Jack McCaskie from Princeton, NJ, the staff on the 2nd floor at Sterling Park Retirement, the staff at Ottawa Civic hospital including Melanie Morris, and the staff at Embassy West Retirement in Ottawa, Canada, for all their love, kindness, and caring for Shirley in the last years of her life. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to help aspiring artists at Princeton Friends of Opera, P.O. Box 2359, Princeton, NJ 08543-2359.

The glistening white cabinetry in the kitchen accentuates the state-of-theart appliances.There is a generous pantry and a large preparation island sheathed in matching white “shiplap” siding and a “waterfall” granite edge on the main counter space.The generous formal dining room will welcome the largest of Thanksgiving dinners. Since this home was customized, you can enjoy the wainscoting and plantation shutters throughout.The first level delivers you to the bluestone patio and secondary brick patio which boasts a custom pergola, water feature, high-end barbecue appliances and even an outdoor flatscreen T.V. This combined area can be enclosed for al fresco dining well into the autumn months.The private elevator brings you to either the finished lower level with full bath and a bedroom area, if needed, or the perfect home theater.The upper level is home to guest bedrooms and baths and a sumptuous master bedroom with an oversized shower, free standing tub, duel sink vanity and ship lap walls.This amazing home, perfect for those wanting to escape the taxes of nearby states (current 2020 taxes - $17,791) is ideal for full-time residency or for all of the “snow birds” wanting a turn-key home available immediately. $1,795,000
