Princeton’s Response Mounts as Coronavirus Cases Continue to Grow As New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Tuesday another major surge in coronavirus cases and deaths in the state, a coalition of Princeton organizations continued to collaborate to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. There were 69 new deaths in New Jersey announced yesterday, March 31, for a total of 267, and more than 2,000 new positive tests for a total of 18,696 coronavirus (COVID-19) cases throughout the state.

The Princeton Health Department on Tuesday reported 28 total COVID-19 cases, and there were 268 total cases reported by Mercer County. In collaboration with health partners, Mercer County has opened a drive-up testing site for COVID-19 at Quaker Bridge Mall in Lawrence.

The testing center is by appointment only for symptomatic Mercer County residents age 18 and older who have a prescription from their primary health care provider.

In Princeton, the Princeton Children’s Fund (PCF) — in collaboration with Princeton Community Housing, the Princeton Human Services Department, the Princeton Senior Resource Center, and Send Hunger Packing Princeton (SHUPPrinceton) — has established a Coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) to help Princeton families in need of financial support because of income loss during the COVID-19 crisis.

“We are asking the community to consider donating money to be used to pay day-to-day expenses that will be incurred by families who are unable to work during the shutdowns and curfews,” stated a PCF press release. Donations can be made online at www.princetonchildrensfund.org and are fully tax deductible.

To qualify for aid, applicants must be Princeton residents or have a child in Princeton Public Schools; must have suffered financial burdens as a result of COVID-19; must present supporting documentation; must have an income under the New jersey Council on Affordable Housing limit; and must have exhausted other options for financial assistance.

PCF President Felicia Spitz reported that PCF had received 25 applications as of Monday and was expecting many more in the next week as April rent checks come due. She noted that the PCF social workers, five out of seven of who are dual language speakers, Continued on Page 10

Flexible Schools Respond to COVID-19 Crisis The schools are closed and empty, but remote learning is taking place with increasing intensity and purpose at the Princeton Public Schools (PPS). Technological devices like PowerSchool Learning, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Instagram, social media, email, and the telephone have replaced the desks, classrooms, and white boards of the PPS. “It’s all about flexibility right now,” said Princeton High School (PHS) Principal Jessica Baxter. “We’re all learning and changing and evolving. It’s a minute-tominute situation. These are unprecedented times.”

Early this week Assistant Superintendent Annie Kosek said, “Our teachers are finding creative ways to engage students through activities like virtual morning meetings, small and large group chats, live and videotaped lessons, funny motivational videos, ‘spirit days’ like Crazy Hat Day, and teaching in a Google Hangout.

Learning is often best as a social experience, and our teachers are striving to maintain social interaction despite our current state of social distancing.”

Teachers and librarians are holding story time, which apparently has a calming effect on both students and their parents. Teachers are sending emails and

making personal check-in phone calls, and administrators are staying connected through messages, songs, magic tricks, and daily food for thought using online platforms and social media.

“With only one or two days’ notice, our lives changed,” Baxter wrote in a letter to families on March 19, after the first three days of remote learning. “As educators we were told we had to work from home and teach our students remotely. As parents we were forced to figure out child care and the home schooling of our children

in addition to either still having to go out to work or work from our homes. Our students and children were told they couldn’t come to school, see their friends, play sports, be children. Some kids became caregivers and children for younger siblings in addition to being full-time students themselves.”

She continued, “We all find ourselves in an impossible situation. But we are figuring it out, and kudos go out to everyone. The teachers are working together Continued on Page 7

First Aid and Rescue Squad Prepares for the Virus’ Peak With cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) expected to peak during the next few weeks, Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad (PFARS) is gearing up for what could be unprecedented demand. An integral part of the team is Princeton High School graduate Bryan Hill, a volunteer with the squad and an emergency medical technician (EMT) who has two bachelor of science degrees and is a candidate for a doctorate in nursing.

Hill does a daily email briefing for members, culled from data he gathers from the daily updates by Gov. Phil Murphy, the

Centers for Disease Control, and other sources. “I boil it down to what we need to be focusing on as a first aid squad,” he said last week. “I’ve been working countless hours, seven days a week, for the past two and a half weeks to make sure we’re ahead of the curve before we get this surge that is expected in mid-April.”

Heading infection control for the squad, Hill has been doing his best to keep members healthy. “His medical background makes him the ideal person for this,” said PFARS President Mark Freda. “And he Continued on Page 10

ZOOMING IN ON SHAKESPEARE: McCarter Theatre’s Shakespeare Community Reading Group usually meets in the main lobby. But staying at home has meant a transition for the participants, who now meet digitally via Zoom.

Featuring gifts that are distinctly Princeton

Shakespeare Enthusiasts Keep Plays Alive Through Remote Technology 349 Nassau St. Princeton, NJ 609 688-9840 Tues-Sat 12:30pm-5pm www.thecloakanddagger.com

With the remainder of its season canceled and both halls dark, McCarter Theatre Center is anxious to keep the public engaged and ready to return once the COVID-19 crisis subsides. The Shakespeare Communit y Reading Group, which allows amateur actors to read aloud together the works of the celebrated playwright,

seemed an ideal candidate for transitioning to remote technology.

Last week, they held their first gathering via Zoom.

Seated in their living rooms and k itchens instead of around a table in the McCarter lobby, participants delivered a spirited reading of The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act I – Act III, Scene 3. McCarter’s Artistic Engagement Manager Paula Alekson, who oversees the program, said the reading got positive reviews from those who took part.

“The first Zoom meeting was an experiment for sure,” she said. “For that inaugural one, we mostly went out to people who are on the regular attendance list, just to say, ‘let’s try.’

People were so enthusiastic and excited, and comments I got afterward included so many expressions of thanks for making the opportunity possible. The next one is April 7, and I know we’ll have a big group.”

The reading group was started seven years ago by Karen Sisti, a Princeton University administrator with a love of Shakespeare. “It was a pre-existing group,” said Alekson. “She knew she wanted to always have Shakespeare be a part of her life. So she started with a bunch of friends. She wrote to me one day out of the blue, asking if they could use McCarter as a place to meet.

I told her I couldn’t offer her space, but could invite her to partner with me, and then McCarter could give us the space. She was so up for it.”

The original group of 15 has grown to more than 215 on the mailing list. Pre COVID-19 days, the group would meet in the McCarter lobby on a Tuesday night, have coffee, and then do a round-robin reading of a play. It usually takes two meetings to get through a play, Alekson said.

Shakespeare appeals to people in for different reasons. “Part of it is just love of the language, and part is the challenge of it,” said A lekson. “Usually those drawn to the program have had a positive experience with Shakespeare, either in school or as part of their upbringing. Or maybe they saw

a play or a movie, and got hooked on it. I also think it’s the stories themselves, and the surprising way something written over 400 years ago is timeless, and encompasses this universality of human emotion and human experience.”

For participant Jim Brittain, it’s about the words.

“It’s certainly not the plots, because he stole most of them,” the former substance abuse counselor said of the playwright. “It’s really about the language, which is beautiful, and the characters, which are interesting and multi-faceted. The interactions are terrific. And the language is amazing. There is certainly not another writer in the English language, Continued on Next Page

or anywhere, like Shakespeare.”

Fellow participant Sarah Staats agrees. “It’s about the poetry of his words, the intricate layers of plotting that you can not only hear, but can read along with, and the fun of mixing readers who know the works with those who are stumbling through,” she wrote in an email.

“I love the theatre and live performance in general. Reading Shakespeare with a group of people sitting around a table in the lobby of McCarter Theatre just plain makes me feel good.”

ETS Assessment Developer Kristina Bobo, whose work involves literature and composition for college students, said it is much about the scenarios of Shakespeare’s plays as it is about the language. “The situations are accessible, reflective of things happening in people’s lives,” she said. “They make you think about the world around you.”

Participants come from varied backgrounds. “The group exposes me to people I would have no chance to meet otherwise,” said Bobo. “There are people who do acting, and those with no professional connection whatsoever to drama.

Everybody comes with a different interest, and it’s nice to come together as one unit for a couple hours. Paula does a wonderful job making the space welcoming to everyone.”

Alekson stresses that the group is open to all. Registration is required. The next session is April 7 at 7 p.m. Visit mccarter.org for details and registration.

“What we’re trying to figure out at McCarter right now is how can we reach out to patrons and the community to bring light and entertainment and meaning to life while everyone’s trapped inside,” Alekson said.

Participants in the group have welcomed the transition to meeting online. “Social isolation is difficult,” said Brittain.

“Doing this with Zoom was the first chance I’ve had to interact with other faces. To be able to do this with Shakespeare was a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to the next one.”

Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market Postponed

Our Children Are Hungry - We Need Your Help PNS Hunger Prevention Gift Card Appeal Please help the food insecure families at Princeton Nursery School during this uncertain time. While it is a lot to ask as we all urgently take measures to protect ourselves and others during this national pandemic, these vulnerable families need us now more than ever.

Some of our PNS families are unable to work with business closures and social distancing regulations. Some have lost their jobs and much needed income all together.

With our school closed due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we are unable to provide our families in need with an education, child care, wellness education language assistance, or economic support. Most importantly, we are unable to provide a lifeline to food for these families.

We are asking for donations to provide supermarket gift cards to those families.

Any amount is eagerly welcomed with gratitude.

The Spring Fling Edition of the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market, originally scheduled for April 4-5 at the Historic Roebling Wire Works, has been postponed until May 3031 due to concerns regarding the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

“Please note, this is not a decision we take lightly,” reads a press release from organizers.

“As one of the largest cultural celebrations of our kind in the nation and one that provides high volume shopping experiences for nearly 1,000 small businesses and artists annually, event cancellations such as this will greatly affect their bottom line. In a world where big box stores reign supreme, please understand that small businesses and artists are the ones who will feel this pinch the greatest.”

The release goes on to urge patronage and support of small businesses and creative communities throughout the crisis. When the event is held, nearly 500 vendors from more than 25 states are expected to be on hand, along with food trucks, live music, live tattooing, and more.

For information, visit www. trentonprfm.com.

“I am a local business. I own a tea shop and a mushroom farm.

Customers can support local businesses during this time by shopping at retailers like Whole Foods and other local organic grocery retailers.”

“I’ve been ordering food using the DoorDash app. A lot of local businesses operate through them, so I’m happy to support local.”

to share ideas and support students. Parents are juggling feeding and teaching their children in between conference calls. Our students are logging in to PowerSchool Learning each day, doing lessons, connecting remotely with friends, and still finding the time to post pics on Instagram for Spirit Week.”

PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane delivered his own message of gratitude and “applause” last week in a missive to students, staff, and families. “All of you have had your lives upended by the coronavirus,” he wrote. “All of you are feeling anxious about your own health and that of others; and yet all of you are finding new ways to continue learning and working and showing your care for one another.”

In a phone conversation Monday, Cochrane noted, “I’m glad I’ve been able to participate in this important effort. Overall we are doing incredibly well with remote learning.”

A c k n o w l e d g i n g a fe w technology glitches in the first week and the fact that some classes, subjects, students, and families have had more difficulty than others, Cochrane said that overall the feedback from parents, teachers, and students has been “incredibly positive.”

“T he harde s t piece, I think, is transforming to remote learning,” he said.

“This is particularly difficult for our youngest learners, where we need lots of hands-on activities, lots of transitions.”

In the first two weeks most elementary classes had paper packets for the students, and moved to a virtual approach just this week.

“There was a challenge to make sure we had computers for all those students, and our belief is that everyone now has access to a c om p u te r,” C o ch r a n e continued. “That was one challenge. There was another challenge for teachers who had to transform lots of hands-on activities into this virtual experience.

It was a heavier lift for our elementary teachers, and I really applaud them for the determination and creativity they have devoted to making that work.”

S t u d e nt s w it h s p e c ia l needs, in some cases, posed particular challenges. “How do we meet the needs of students with multiple special needs or autism in a remote setting?” Cochrane asked. “ T h at’s b e e n e x t re m ely challenging for us, for the students, and their families.”

N ot i n g t h at s t u d e n t s, teachers, and administrators continue to make adjustments as they go, he added, “At the same time we recognize that this is a time of emotional anxiety for all families. We can’t always have the same expectations for the level of learning that we have in a classroom setting without the background of a global pandemic.”

With spring break coming up, school officials are working on developing a list of virtual activities that are developmentally appropriate, engaging, meaningful, and social with a distance to help students and fellow parents during the April 3-13 vacation period.

In descr ibing remote lear ning so far at PHS, Baxter noted that they were “still working out kinks,” but commented, “I have a staff of problem-solvers.” Three of those problem-solvers described what’s going on in their virtual classrooms.

Math and Computer Science “ S w i tc h i n g to v i r t u a l learning was not easy at all,” said veteran math and computer science teacher Graciela Elia. “It was not what I expected at all. I had to work very hard to reach out to my students. Many of them were easy to reach and kept in touch, but based on their feedback, they all felt lost and worried. I spent hours reaching out to everyone with emails and messages assuring them about the positive side of our ‘temporary’ current situation.”

She continued, “My goal in the first week was to give them a sense of safety and continuity. For those who were silent, I wanted them to feel confident using Zoom

to be able to either see each other or just share screens.

I reminded them that emailing me was an acceptable way to communicate.”

After confronting the challenges of distance learning and the diverse learning styles of her students, Elia decided to change her teaching style. “What worked best was to break up her lessons and deliver videos and other materials in small pieces,” she said. “That gave me the success I was looking for.

Many emails with questions started to pour into my inbox along with Zoom meeting requests. Most of them told me they were happy to ‘see’ me and they felt a bit like being in school again.

They shared what they were doing at home and how they were coping.”

Elia concluded, “We are good with our technology.

We can do it very well. We are a strong community of teachers helping each other, and our students are able to adapt, and they are committed to learning. But being away from our school, our friends, and students — this isolation is the most difficult factor in this complex environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Science “I had never heard of Zoom three weeks ago, and now, while am certainly not an expert, I am probably an advanced beginner,” said biology and chemistry teacher Robert Corell. “I have learned how to use my iPad as a white board that shows up on the device that they are watching. I am learning to write bigger for the kids who are tuning in on a phone.”

Corell records his lessons or lectures in advance and places them on the PPS Learning Management System and on his personal YouTube channel so the students can access the material any time they want.

He pointed out that it takes him longer to grade materials submitted virtually, but he is getting faster.

“With my students who are naturally school-oriented or are very comfortable with technology, it has gone fairly well,” he said, noting that his AP students, with

HomeFront Ramps Up to Help Homeless In Response to Coronavirus Pandemic “No one anticipated a crisis like this,” wrote HomeFront founder and CEO Connie Mercer in a letter last week. “We are navigating uncharted waters.”

With the need for food and shelter increasing every day, HomeFront, whose mission is to end homelessness in Central New Jersey, has had to adapt and expand its services in the face of the coronav ir us ( COV I D -19 ) pandemic.

The Lawrenceville-based nonprofit, with a large Family Campus in Ewing where 38 local families who are homeless live temporarily, has seen the demand for food double in the past week.

“Last week we began asking people new to HomeFront to fill out a for m asking the reason they are currently in need of food or other help,” said Case Manager Walter Saravia. “The answer we are getting back from everyone is that they are unemployed because of COVID.” Ever y HomeFront case manager has reported many

clients unable to pay the rent for the first time because of lost hours or lost jobs as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. “We are already hearing from many of our clients who have lost their jobs as a result of business closings,” Mercer said. “We are also seeing an unprecedented number of new faces on our food distribution days.”

Though encouraged by the many supporters who have stepped up to contribute supplies and funds, Mercer expressed concern that “the worst is still to come.”

She continued, “What really keeps me up at night is the overwhelming level of need we will see in the community in July/August when mortgage and eviction moratoriums are lifted.”

Hom e Front s t af f have been delivering food bags and other essentials to more than 150 struggling families in the county, and also to individuals living in local motels. A new distribution area has been set up at the HomeFront headquar ters back dock, configured to distribute and collect gro-

ceries and other urgently needed items at a social distance. HomeFront case managers are on the phone lines keeping in touch with their clients and responding to new families who need help.

Family Campus Many different challenges have arisen for HomeFront staff at the Family Center.

“We’ve had to get really creative,” said Campus Support Services Liaison Liza Peck.

“We have a new mom who is using Skype to get nurseparenting coaching, in addition to the support our onsite staff provides.”

The children are currently remote schooling from the districts they were attending before they became homeless, with enough computers for online learning and every child getting sufficient computer time. The computers are cleaned frequently by the staff, and all children and staff maintain social distance, reported HomeFront Com mu nit y E ngagement Coordinator Suki Wasserman.

“Our staff has provided extra school work help to the kids because we are trying to make sure our parents have the support they need in helping children succeed in the remote learning environment,” Wasserman wrote in an email. “By supporting the kids in these ways we are reducing stress for our parents, so they don’t feel they are in this alone.”

Tutoring is available by phone from volunteers and from HomeFront’s Hire Expectations staff. Families

have also been taking turns in the ArtSpace therapeutic art room.

“Families were especially excited last week when donated iPads were given out with access to Disney Plus,” said Peck.

HomeFront ArtSpace Director Ruthann Traylor reported on Facebook how a resident at the Family Campus whose mother died a week ago, “has been in Art Space every day saying, ‘it’s helping me release some of my stress and depression related to my mother’s passing and not being able to be with my family due to the COVID-19 crisis.’”

Traylor continued, “I asked her why she has chosen to paint hearts and rainbows at this time, and she said, ‘I like to paint happiness.’ This week she’s created over 13 paintings.”

The Hire E xpectations s taf f at HomeFront are working one-to - one with people living at the Campus and keeping in touch remotely with students not living onsite who are studying for their high school diploma or certifications. On March 26 Donte Patterson, who is living at the Campus with his wife and young daughter, received his high school diploma after studying, finishing his last math test, and taking the exam at the Family Campus. With his high school equivalency in hand he can now apply for a job he’s wanted with the Department of Corrections.

“We have seen a lot of families expressing gratefulness because they have a safe place to be during the crisis,” Wasserman said.

“Many of t heir children

In the face of the current crisis, with its increased demands and expenses, HomeFront has lost critical revenue from needing to cancel spring fundraisers.

“Our initial conservative estimates suggest that lost revenues and unexpected emergency expendit ures may cost HomeFront well over $650,000 — and that’s just through the middle of May,” Mercer wrote. “We have made emergency bulk purchases of food, diapers, and baby formula.”

“Too many of our permanent housing clients who

have already been laid off will be unable to pay their rent, she continued. “We are already seeing a major increased need in the community due to job loss and will be paying our essential employees overtime and hazard pay. People with no safety net can’t tighten their belts for four days, much less four months. The government is finally responding, but, as has always been the case, countless people will fall through the cracks or have to wait too long for help.”

We know this is a difficult time. Together, we are deeply concerned about our loved ones, friends and neighbors. We also know that we live in a community that cares about our region, and in this difficult time you may be searching for a way to help those in need.

For more than 30 years, the Princeton Area community Foundation has been advancing philanthropy for the well-being of our communities.

That’s why we collaborated with individuals, businesses and private foundations to launch the coViD-19 relief & recovery Fund.

We wanted to give our community a way to immediately respond to the current and long-term needs of the nonprofits that serve our most vulnerable residents.

To date, the Fund has more than $1 million in contributions, but the need is much greater. In the first five days of our open application period, more than 70 nonprofits requested funding, as residents in our region struggle with food and housing insecurity, reduced or lost income, health issues and childcare needs. We will begin awarding grants this week.

Our team of grantmaking experts know our local nonprofits well, and we are standing by to partner with you to make sure our communities thrive. learn more or make a donation at www.pacf.org or text coViDnJ to 44-321.

Coronavirus Intensifies the Need For Neighborhood Buddy Program When Princeton’s Neighborhood Buddy Initiative was established two years ago, the idea was to pair residents with neighbors who might be vulnerable — specifically seniors — in the event of such calamities as “flooding, downed trees, sustained power outages, unrelenting heat waves, and, most recently, traffic-snarling snowstorms,” as the town’s website describes the program.

Potentially lethal viruses and global pandemics were not on the list. But with the coronavirus (COVID-19) expected to peak in coming weeks, the Neighborhood Buddy Initiative has stepped up efforts to look out for seniors and others who need assistance, and recruit more people to help. The original idea was to pair residents who live near each other, letting relationships evolve gradually during normal times. But these are not normal times.

Councilman David Cohen has been working on the program since being elected to the governing body in 2017. The initiative has been in a kind of holding pattern in recent months, as efforts to finalize the way it would be run were worked out.

About a month ago, Cohen got a call from George DiFerdinando, who chairs the town’s Board of Health.

“He said, ‘Gee, let’s start thinking about how the buddy initiative can help us respond to the COVID-19 epidemic,’” said Cohen. “We starting talking with Drew Dyson at Princeton Senior Resource Center about how we could help. The initial idea was that buddies would have actual contact with each other, but of course that has changed. And Drew was helpful in coming up with a set of actions that wouldn’t include contact.”

Volunteers in the program are being asked to help educate seniors about the virus. “A lot of the information about it is going out through email and the Internet, and some folks are not up on the latest technology,” said Cohen. “Local neighborhoods that have the Nextdoor app, which connects neighbors with each other, were seeing a lot of requests by people who wanted to help.

But there were none by people asking for help, because they weren’t on the app.”

The initiative is focusing on providing help with er-

rands that don’t involve contact. Phone support is another component. ”They do regular check-ins, providing a bit of social interaction for people who are at risk of social isolation all the time, and especially now,” Cohen said.

Running a newspaper ad and distributing flyers in local neighborhoods has resulted in some responses — a few so far from those requesting support, and about 35 from those who want to volunteer.

“Right now, I’m pairing people,” said Cohen. “It’s a little tough because some people don’t want to ask for help.

But as the numbers continue to grow and the situation becomes more dire, I’m thinking we will get more requests for help. And we are here to do that.”

The flyer identifies those who should be sheltering in place as older adults, people with lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, or are HIV positive, and pregnant women.

“If you have an elderly neighbor with whom you already have a relationship, even if they haven’t asked for help, we would encourage you to reach out with a friendly phone call suggesting your willingness to help out in any of those three ways (providing information about COVID-19, doing errands, or checking in with a buddy on a regular basis),” the flyer reads.

Volunteers can sign up through Bit.ly/Buddy or by calling (609) 915-5944. For more information, email Cohen at dcohen@princetonnj.gov.

reach out to each applicant to help with the application process, making sure that the application is accurate and reflects the applicant’s full need.

Spitz urged those in need “who have had trouble accessing social services in the past” to apply to the PCF. “We are here to help,” she said.

To Princeton residents who are able to donate to the PCF, she stated, “If you’re looking to keep the Princeton community strong and residents in their homes and not under mountains of debt, please donate.”

She also urged employers to continue to pay their workers, even if they can’t continue to work. “The housekeeper, the nanny, the dog walker — keep paying them,” she said.

Spitz emphasized the importance of PCF’s relationships with other local organizations in the team effort of combating the effects of COVID-19.

SHUPPrinceton, for example, has agreed to provide weekend meals for all 500 Princeton children on the Free and Reduced Lunch Program through the end of the school year if needed. SHUPP typically provides weekend meals for approximately 150 children in the public elementary schools, the Princeton Nursery School, and Princeton Charter School, with snacks and lunches sent to Princeton High School, John

“From that, with the rest of the team, we’ve developed a member screening tool. Members have to be checked before they go out. This way, we’re able to monitor for members coming in the door to assure that they’re healthy.”

Hill stresses now-familiar precautions that members of the public can take to keep themselves healthy.

“The most important thing is social distancing. Stay home if you can, avoid non-essential travel, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and utilize our services when needed,” he said.

“For those who certainly do need emergency services, we are adequately staffed to keep them well. Look out for shortness of breath, high fever for days, and fatigue. That could be a medical emergency we are able to assist with.”

Freda said last Friday that call volume at PFARS had actually dropped during the previous 10 days. With schools and businesses closed, there were fewer scenarios that might require assistance. But a surge is expected, and any EMTs interested in helping PFARS are encouraged to contact the squad. Public donations are also welcome, as extra funds are being spent for disinfecting and other practices.

“The members of the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad

are taking every possible precaution to protect our patients, their families, and our EMTs

during this very difficult time,”

reads a statement issued by the squad. “We review and update our procedures daily based on directives from federal, state, and local authorities. We also apply good judgment, often putting precautions into place before they are mandated.

Residents should not hesitate to call 9-1-1 if they require emergency medical assistance.

We are ready to respond if they need us.”

Witherspoon Middle School, and the Princeton Recreation Department camps during the summer.

Ross Wishnick, chair of SHUPPrinceton and chair of the Princeton Human Services Commission, explained that the PCF and a large coalition of local organizations are working “to be the net that catches people who fall through other safety nets.”

He said they are especially looking to assist the most vulnerable local residents, “so many people who, if they have a $500 unexpected expense, do not know how they can pay for it. There’s going to be a gap. We’re there.”

He added, “The Human Services Commission is all of a sudden one of the most important aspects of community life, as people find themselves in a place they thought they’d never be.” He emphasized the importance of bringing people together in a collaborative way.

Hill’s degree in public health has given him insight into containment strategies. His nurs ing degree is also coming in handy. “It has been very beneficial to me because I can see how the disease progresses, and see things we can be on the lookout for,” he said.

Supporting Dina Shaw as a “Leader Who Sees and Solves Critical Problems”

To the Editor; I am writing in support of Dina Shaw’s candidacy for Princeton Council. I have had the privilege of knowing Dina both as a PTO colleague and as a friend since 2003 when she moved to the neighborhood. Over the years, I have watched Dina dive into any project she takes on with a positive attitude and with boundless energy.

As president of the Littlebrook PTO, she recognized there was a need for after school programs and launched a new platform of activities that resulted in robust offerings for all children. Next, Dina was president of the John Witherspoon Middle School PTO. As co-treasurer of the PTO during Dina’s tenure, I personally felt a true sense of purpose and accomplishment as we raised funds to guarantee that all children at JW could attend the Washington, D.C., field trip, regardless of financial need.

As a friend, I can attest that Dina’s home is a true reflection of her spirit; her door is always open, and your ideas are always welcome. Dina listens to all opinions and strives to be inclusive at all times. Dina is simultaneously smart and humble. She asks the right questions and listens carefully to your answers.

At both LB and JW, Dina emphasized growth, fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency. During all these years of service to the public schools, Dina and her husband built a successful business and raised their three children. She also led critical initiatives as an officer of the Friends of the Princeton Public Library and The Jewish Center of Princeton.

Dina is a leader who sees and solves critical problems. It’s exactly that kind of management and financial acumen that our town needs most as we face the challenges of future growth and recovery after this prolonged health crisis.

Please join me in voting in the Democratic Primary for Dina Shaw for Princeton Council on June 2, 2020.

the life-blood of our organization and they maintain deep, meaningful, and longstanding relationships with our members and the larger Princeton community. But we know that to survive, we must rely on what little savings we have to serve the community when we re-open our doors.

Caring: Our now much smaller staff will support Princeton in any way we can. Two staff members are dedicated exclusively to supporting our children and teens, and their families, who are part of the Princeton Young Achievers and ACE (Accept Compete Excel) programs. We know how especially vulnerable they are in these trying times. We will also do everything we can to make ourselves available to the town, school district, and larger community as a resource.

Respect: Our Y is facing a big challenge, but nothing like what health care workers, physicians, emergency responders, and local and state leaders are contending with. We are in awe of their dedication and commitment to saving lives, often at great risk to their own, and to helping find a way forward.

Responsibility: Now is that time to follow the direction of our medical experts and local leaders, and do our part to flatten the curve. Now is the time to put social responsibility into action and model good citizenship by sheltering in place and practicing social distancing.

Even though we are at physical distances, we are still deeply connected as neighbors, Y members, and citizens. Now, more than ever, we need to come together and intentionally model these four core values in our actions and choices and also say why it matters.

There is no doubt that we are in a precarious moment. If you can help us during this time, please visit our website, www. princetonymca.org. Our plan is to be here, ready to serve when we are able to reopen.

To the Editor: April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month: a time to call attention to the problem of child abuse and neglect in our community. The children who have been subjected to abuse by their caregivers are often further traumatized by removal from their home and parents.

CASA for Children of Mercer and Burlington Counties trains and supervises volunteers to advocate for these children while they are in the foster care system. CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) are appointed by judges to insure that the best interests of foster children are addressed until they find a safe and permanent home.

You can help! Serving as a volunteer advocate is one way for concerned adults to directly help a child who needs support, guidance, and a voice in the courtroom. CASA volunteers come from all walks of life – you need no special background, just a desire to help. Our volunteers pass background checks and receive over 30 hours of comprehensive training before being assigned to a case. Anyone interested in learning more about our program may register to attend an information session at our website: casaMB.org.

McCarter Theatre Center Thanks Community for “Outpouring of Support”

To the Editor: We would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support McCarter received since announcing the cancelation of the balance of our season. This was a difficult decision to make, however we recognized early on that in order to do our part to flatten the curve we needed to darken our stages and keep our audience members safe.

The motto “The show must go on!” is core to our mission and our character. It is very challenging to break out of that mindset, but sometimes the show cannot go on. Theatres and performing arts organizations around the world were forced to close in response to the current situation and McCarter was no exception.

What is truly exceptional is the response from our audience.

Our patrons have rallied around McCarter with kind words, ticket donations, and other support. We want to let you know just how much everyone at McCarter appreciates this outpouring of support. When we asked our patrons to consider donating their tickets to support our general operations, the response was overwhelming.

To date, we have contacted just a small fraction of the 6,000 ticket buyers impacted by our closure, and many ticket holders we have spoken to have donated their tickets back to the theatre. We are personally reaching out to all ticket holders so if you haven’t heard from us yet, please understand the delay. We are truly grateful for these donations — each one positively impacts our current financial situation.

This is a wonderful first step to help us through this unprecedented time. Like other arts organizations, we will be turning to our community of supporters and subscribers to ask for assistance to get us through the next few months as we rebuild in the wake of this crisis.

And like many of you, we feel the pressing and immediate need to support the health and human services providing relief for this community. McCarter staff are helping in myriad of ways. We are sewing masks for health care workers and service people. We will soon be offering online content to help parents and arts lovers manage the stay-at-home order. And we will be here, ready to entertain and enlighten our community when the time is right.

True, for a while I had to overcome my habitual itchy-trigger-finger visits to the St. Louis website on mlb.com for rebroadcasts of Classic Cardinals Moments like the titanic home run by Albert Pujols that stunned the then-National League Astros and super fans George and Barbara Bush in the 2005 NLCS playoffs or the Mother of All Walk-Off heroics of David Freese in the 2011 World Series.

So here I am with a shelter-in-place mindset looking out the living room window at the backyard bird feeders while pondering potential subjects ranging from comic books to comfort food, desert island narratives to the National Pastime.

Thanks to the determined nocturnal activities of a certain raccoon, the bird feeders have to be taken in every night and returned to their respective branches early every morning by my wife, still in her robe and slippers, a bird feeder in either hand.

In our domestic comic book, Little Lulu has evolved from the Little Red Hen into the Bird Lady of Princeton Ridge.

Whistling in the Dark Cleaning up from dinner, I catch myself whistling “You Gotta Have Heart.” Baseball again, “miles and miles of heart” from Damn Yankees. Last year all that mythical musical heart paid off in real life with a world championship, the ever-consistent Senators (“yeah, we always lose”) having been replaced by the Washington Nationals. Like the song says, “It’s fine to be a genius of course, but keep that old horse before the cart” — and keep your six feet of social separation, sneeze into your sleeve (and then knock elbows — hello?? who’s writing this script?), don’t push

that button, be sure to sanitize the door knob, and when you take your chances on a walk, continue carefully across the Harrison Street Bridge, being sure not to lean on the railing mid-span. Think of it as adapting your moves to someone else’s screenplay, and keep whistling, preferably upbeat tunes like “Heart.”

And don’t forget to keep your pandemic pantry stocked with plenty of peanut butter and jelly.

As American as P and J The phrase “as American as apple pie” sounds good, but that’s not what the lockdown authorities are telling you to put at the top of your list next to eggs and the almighty TP. It’s peanut butter.

My father used to make gifts appear “by magic.” He’d go abracadrabra and point to a chair and presto, I’d find a comic book u nder t he cushion.

A ll my mother had to do was conjure up four open-faced peanut butter and jelly sandwiches neatly arranged, two above, t w o b e l o w, m a d e w ith Wonder Bread no doubt. My mother must have been in the room, pouring a glass full of cold milk, but I only had eyes for those little darlings on the plate. When I try to compute how many P and J sandwiches or the equivalent thereof I’ve eaten since infancy, I go into mathematical freefall.

If you include the various combinations (peanut butter and honey or jelly on bagel and English muffin, etc.) it comes out to something like 90,000, and that’s after taking into account several years spent in countries where peanut butter was all but unobtainable.

In a previous column devoted to the ultimate comfort food, I pointed out peanut butter’s midwestern roots. It was in 1890 that a St Louis food manufacturer named

George Bayle Jr. began selling something resembling the product we know today, only to be outdone five years later by the Kellogg brothers of Battle Creek, Michigan, who applied for a patent “to create a paste from nuts and legumes” they called “nut butter.” The first recorded, tabulated sale may have been at the St. Louis World Fair in 1904, where one C.H. Sumner set up a booth and made $705.11 selling peanut butter.

Did I say St. Louis? Who am I kidding? Is it any coincidence that the aforementioned ode to peanut butter appeared in midOctober 2011, as the Cardinals were on their way to their 11th world championship?

Like to like, two forms of sustenance linked since childhood coinciding in October, and I almost forgot to mention the Mark Twain connection, though I never actually tasted the Tom Sawyer brand of peanut butter, with its label showing a barefoot boy with a f i s h i n g p ol e s l u n g over his shoulder. It was my fate to grow up with Peter Pan in the era when the label portrayed Peter as a full-grown flirtatiously smiling woman in a form-fitting forest green dress and matching high heels, later replaced by a Disneyesque elf closer to the James M. Barrie original.

Reading in the Dark Terms like “heart” and “comfort food” can take you only so far. While what’s happening worldwide in the spring of 2020 is of far greater magnitude, I keep thinking back to the anthrax-haunted aftermath of 9/11 when it seemed possible that a lethal menace related to the attack might be a deadly second act. What made the not-knowing in the fall of 2001 especially eerie was the fact that one of the toxic letters had been traced to a mailbox on Nassau Street. On November 12, almost

exactly two months after 9/11, the crash of an American Airlines air bus shortly after takeoff from JFK roused eventually discounted speculation about an ongoing series of attacks. By then the country was in Afghanistan and on its way to Iraq and I’d discovered a companionable presence in the poetry of C.K. Williams, who died in September 2015 and is remembered by his Princeton University colleagues in the Lewis Center reading series named for him.

It makes sense that my first reading of Williams was a poem at the heart of the news, on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. In “Fear (September 2001-August 2002),” after telling us he still wants to believe “we’ll cure the human heart, heal it of its anxieties, and the mistrust and barbarousness they spawn,” he asks, “but hasn’t that metaphorical heart been slashed, dissected, / cauterized and slashed again, and has the carnage relented, ever?” The answer has grim resonance right now when it’s all too clear that the “carnage” highlighted in the current president’s inaugural address as a slur against the state of the nation has become a selffulfilling prophecy.

In the same poem, Williams refers to “the flicker of the television news ... war, threats of war, war without end,” picturing “a chorus of grackles” as “negative celestials risen from some counter-realm, to rescue us. / But now, scattering towards the deepening shadows, they go, too.” “Fear” was among a series of poems (“The War,” “Night,” “The Hearth”) that first appeared in The New Yorker and were eventually collected in The Singing (Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2003). Reading Williams then, and now, you’re in touch with a deeply concerned fellow citizen speaking to you one-on-one in a low compelling voice. he last lines of “The Tract,” the last poem in The Singing, begin with “the hope that someday I’ll accept without qualm or question that the reality of others/the love of others the miracle of others all that which feels like enough is truly enough/no celestial sea no god in his barque of being just life just hanging on for dear life.”

Musicians Can Recycle Old Strings for New Ones

ActorsNET Shares Video of online entertainment for the “Mrs. Warren’s Profession” public. The full-length video In keeping with the tradition “the show must go on,” ActorsNET has released on YouTube a video of its March production of George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession.

“Ac tor s N E T h as p o s tponed or canceled all presentations planned for the immediate future, at least through July, to protect actors, staff, and patrons from the dangers of COVID-19.

At the time of postponement, Mrs. Warren’s Profession was to open the next day, March 13,” Said Artistic Director Cheryl Doyle.

“Days later, before Governor Wolf extended his shutdown to Bucks County, the cast and crew assembled at The Heritage Center to film our production. Although no audience was present, professional videographer Tom Smith of Direct-A-Friend Pictures recorded it just as audiences would have seen it.”

Playback is an instrument string recycling program, launched through a partnership between D’Addario and TerraCycle. The program is a part of D’Addario’s Players Circle loyalty program and allows registered users to recycle their used strings in exchange for extra Players Circle points. Musicians attending the recycle and restring events will receive a code at the event, redeemable for extra Players Circle points. Points can be used towards merchandise or donated to the D’Addario Foundation, the company’s nonprofit organization supporting music education in underserved communities.

“We’ve been searching for a solution for old string reuse after installing a new set on a guitar, so it’s great that D’Addario and TerraCycle are helping dealers confront this issue,” said store representative, Jeff Lacour.

“Recycling these strings, regardless of brand-name, will greatly minimize our store’s landfill contribution.”

“R’emerged” Virtual Exhibit At Monmouth Museum

Art

As museums remain closed due to COVID-19, the Monmouth Museum is moving forward in an innovative way.

The Museum is hosting its first virtual exhibit, welcoming home artists celebrating their local roots and diverse art.

“R’emerged: an Emerging Artists Alumni Exhibition” will take place online in a virtual gallery available at monmouthmuseum.org/ virtualgallery April 3 to June 3. It features current works of New Jersey Emerging Artists alumni spanning the last 13 years.

The opening reception will be a remote Zoom party on Friday, April 3 at 5 p.m. — visit the Monmouth Museum’s Facebook and Instagram pages @themonmouthmuseum to link to the party.

“We are excited to bring this alumni retrospective to the community, and to showcase the talented New Jersey artists that found their start with us,” said Donna Kessinger, executive director and curator. “The exhibition will feature some truly remarkable artwork.”

The New Jersey Emerging Artists Series was established by the Monmouth Museum in 2007 to provide local artists with a launchpad and nurturing environment for their career development, including their first museum-caliber solo show. Over 70 artists have been featured since the program’s inception in 2007, and it has become a popular “EXIT 11”: This painting by Lisa Lackey is part of “R’emerged: An Emerging Artists Alumni staple for art lovers and the Exhibition,” on view online at monmouthmuseum.org/virtualgallery April 3 through June 3.

“It’s really special when our exhibit features current works of New Jersey Emerging Artists alumni. artists come back to Monmouth County to share their work,” said Campbell Grade, assistant curator. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to see where they are on their artistic journeys.”

hes e are u nusual times, and nowhere is that more visible than in Princeton’s downtown, with the myriad of businesses that are temporarily closed or otherwise affected by the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 virus.

IT’S NEW To Us

Triumph Brewing Company, the longtime Princeton favorite brewpub, is marking its 25th anniversary this year, and although celebrat ion pla ns have been placed on hold, it is still open for takeout and bottled beer purchases.

“We can’t wait to get back to normal — with our customers, and also to see all the people on the street again,” says director of corporate sales Eric Nutt. “In the meant i m e, however, we do offer takeout, and also, we are delivering food to HomeFront and the Trenton Soup Kitchen. In addition, our Red Bank and New Hope locations are delivering to food banks in their areas.

“We have always been community-oriented, and we support local organizations and charities.”

Relaxed Atmosphere Triumph Brewing Company’s histor y dates to 1995, when it was opened

by certified master brewer Adam Rechnitz at its current 138 Nassau Street location.

It quickly became a favorite for a range of customers — from serious beer connoisseurs to people who simply enjoyed good food and a glass of beer or wine (there is a full bar) in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.

At the time, there were no brewpubs in New Jersey, notes Eric Nutt.

“Brewpubs didn’t really exist in the East then ; they were mostly in Seattle and Portland.”

In fact, in order to open, Adam Rechnitz and his partners had to take on the New Jersey Legis lature and spearhead a drive to legalize brewpubs, which were then illegal in the state. The partners were persistent, and the bill was passed in 1994.

The building itself is intriguing, with a unique history. Over the years, it has been home to a silent movie theater, a hardware store, a bowling alley, and a number of restaurants.

“We can seat 250, and accommodate even more (up to 300 ) for private parties, receptions, and events. We have two private party rooms upstairs, and several semi-private rooms,” points out Nutt.

“We have a broad demographic — male, female, early 20s to 70-plus, married, families, and lots of

tourists. We also always have a special children’s menu.

“We really have lots of events, including private parties of all kinds, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions — we’ve had 200 weddings and even wedding ceremo nies. Corporate functions and Princeton University events are a big part of the business. In addition, we have many regular individual customers from all over, who enjoy coming often.”

Sunday Brunch “We also recently started having Sunday brunch with live jazz,” he adds, “and we look forward to continuing that when we can reopen.”

Customers especially enjoy the fact that they can eat and drink in an upstairs or dow nstairs s et t i ng t hat af fords a f ront row v iew of t he three-tiered stainless steel brewery, a unique dining experience.

Triumph produces 250 styles of beer, with seven different choices on tap any given day. It takes t wo to fou r we ek s to brew beer, depending on whether it is ale or lager.

“T here is s omet h ing for every taste,” reports general manager Ray Villano. “Amber ale is very popular and also Honey Wheat. We have Irish Dry Stout, a tribute to the dry stouts of Dublin, and also Irish Mild ale. Not every-

one realizes that we actually make our beer right here, which makes it so fresh.”

Also available are Beer F lights, wh ich include a selection of four tap beers, served in 5-ounce glasses. In addition, Growlers, beer-to-go, in 64 - ounce or 32- ounce bot tles are offered for customers to purchase.

Favorite For Everyone Once open again, Triumph w ill of fer a f ull lunch and dinner menu, including appetizers, salads, soup, sandwiches, and entrees. Everything from beer-battered fish and chips to grilled cheese sandwiches, and special grass -fed beef burgers to brie- en- croute, root vegetables empanadas, and harvest panzanella, among many other choices, will be on the menu.

Fresh ingredients and sustainability are important to Triumph’s operations, says Nutt. “We support local farms, and we source local in the kitchen whenever possible. We believe in sustainability, farm to table. And beer is sustainable. Our spent grain is picked up by local farmers and used as feed.

“I especially enjoy this business because every day is different,” he adds.

“There is always somet h ing new and always interesting, and I enjoy working with people.”

“Princeton is an excellent location for Triumph, he points out. “Princeton is a unique town in that it attracts visitors from all

We brew the beer right here, and have 250 different styles.” Eric Nutt, left, director of corporate sales, and Ray Villano, general manager of Triumph Brewing Company, look forward to celebrating the brewpub’s 25th anniversary with all their customers as soon as circumstances allow. over the world. Our different beer styles seem to align with many international tastes.”

Both Eric Nutt and Ray Villano look forward to reopening Triumph as soon as possible. “We want to be serving our customers again. We can’t wait to see them all again!”

And the feeling is mutual. Triumph’s customers are sure to be back as soon as they can — to sample the different

beers, to enjoy lunch and dinner, and to celebrate the 25th anniversary in style.

In the meantime, takeout for food and beer is available seven days, noon to 6 p.m. for curbside pickup.

t was the highest of highs and the lowest of lows for Carlie Littlefield and the Princeton University women’s basketball team.

And it all happened in just one week’s time.

Littlefield, the Princeton junior point guard, scored her 1,000th career point in a 7752 win at Columbia on March 6. The next night, the Tigers finished the Ivy League regular season 14-0 for the fourth time in program history when they defeated Cornell 69-50.

Just three days later, however, the Ivy champions and top seed for the Ivy postseason tournament saw the conference cancel that tournament due to concerns over the COVID-19 outbreak. The following day, Littlefield was named a unanimous first-team AllIvy selection while Tigers senior forward Bella Alarie was named Player of the Year for the third straight time and firstteam All-Ivy, and sophomore guard Julia Cunningham was named honorable mention All-Ivy. First-year head coach Carla Berube was named the Ivy Coach of the Year.

The next day, the entire postseason was erased when the NCAA tournament was canceled before most conference tournaments concluded and before the selection show was held, as a result of the spread of COVID-19.

“I am devastated that our season had to end, but I un-

bigger than basketball and I appreciate the fact that the NCAA is making everyone’s safety a top priority,” said Littlefield.

“Nonetheless, I couldn’t be prouder of the season we were able to have and all that we were able to accomplish both on and off the court. This season was special and I won’t soon forget it.”

Princeton finished the year 26-1 overall and ranked 17th in the USA Today/WBCA Coaches’ Poll and 22nd in the AP Poll, a nod to their dominance this season. The Tigers closed the year riding a 22game winning streak, second longest in the country. Their ranking of ninth in the national RPI (rating percentage index) is the highest in Ivy history.

“We won a lot of games,” said Berube, who came to Princeton from Tufts University where she guided the Jumbos to a 384-96 record in 17 seasons while reaching the NCAA Division III final twice, the Final Four four times, and the Sweet 16 nine times.

“You don’t come in thinking you’re going to have this really amazing season. You come in thinking I need to establish what we want to do and try to implement the kind of team we want to have and the kind of program we want. I wanted to get to know the players and have my staff get to know the team. I was hoping, because I knew we had a talented group,

that things would be picked up quickly and we could develop a chemistry. It takes some time, but they were already a pretty close knit group from previous seasons.”

Littlefield was one of the important holdovers from former head coach Courtney Banghart’s years. She was proud of the way that the Tigers welcomed Berube and sustained their standard of success.

“We knew that we could control how we responded to the transition, so we all made a conscious effort to stick together and support one another as teammates,” said Littlefield.

“I have to give a lot of credit to the coaching staff as well, as they encouraged a lot of team bonding activities and made an effort to open up to us, which showed how much they cared for us and eased some of the initial nerves.”

Having started at Princeton since her freshman season, Littlefield has shown improvement each year. That progress continued under Berube, who has a reputation for strong relationships with her point guards.

“The main thing that resonates with me about Coach Berube’s coaching style is that she is never satisfied and expects a lot from her point guards,” said Littlefield, a 5’9 native of Waukee, Iowa.

“That has helped me continue to try to learn and get better

every day. I have always been proud of the defensive part of my game, so it has also been great to learn from a coach who is very defensive-minded and gets really excited about shutting opponents down. It has truly been a pleasure to work with her and I know that I am a better player and person because of her influence.”

Over the course of the 201920 season, Littlefield produced career highs in points per game (13.7), 3-point percentage (.370), free-throw percentage (.762), rebounds per game (4.6), assists per game (3.1), and steals (50). Her leadership, something that can’t be measured in statistics, also improved.

“Since last year, I think I have evolved my all-around game and have become a better floor general,” said Littlefield.

“I have noticed that I have become much comfortable being vocal during practices and games. I also felt like I was much more aggressive in taking shots and scoring this season, which shows that I have gained a better understanding of when the team needs me to be aggressive in scoring the ball and when the team needs me to distribute the ball and get other people shots.”

On the night that Littlefield hit the 1,000-point mark, she tallied 24 points, one short of her single-game career high, and achieved the milestone on an and-one play.

“Scoring my 1,000th point was an incredible feeling because it felt like a testament to the work that my teammates, coaches, and I have put in throughout the course of my career,” said Littlefield.

“It was also really special because my parents were able to come to the game, so being able to share that accomplishment with them and my teammates meant a lot to me.”

Littlefield’s leadership will be even more crucial next year with the void left by the graduation of Tiger senior starters Alarie and Taylor Baur.

“It will be very different without Bella; it has been an honor to play with her for the past three years,” said Littlefield.

“She brought such a dynamic scoring and rebounding ability as well as a fiery competitive spirit that I will miss playing with. It will also be very different without Taylor, our other senior captain, whose grittiness and hustle was contagious. As a team, we have already talked about how we want to carry on their legacy into next season and how we will all have to step up our games in different ways in order to do so.”

Alarie is the third player in Ivy history to be named Player of the Year for a third time. She is the first Princeton player to be a first-team All-Ivy selection all four years, and her place at the top of the program’s Mount Rushmore of players is secure. Alarie has already been named a finalist for both the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year and the Katrina McClain Power Forward of the Year.

“I’ve followed the Ivy League for many years; I also believe she was the best player ever,” said Berube.

“I feel very fortunate to have coached her and Taylor this season. It’s our starting front court. It’s a lot of points, a lot

LITTLE SOLACE: Princeton University women’s basketball player Carlie Littlefield looks to unload the ball in a game this season. Junior point guard Littlefield passed the 1,000-point mark in her Princeton career as the Tigers defeated Columbia 77-52 on March 6 in the last weekend of regular season play. Princeton went on to beat Cornell 69-50 the next day in improving to 26-1 overall and 14-0 Ivy League. Unfortunately, Littlefield didn’t get the chance to add to her total in postseason action as the Ivy tournament and NCAA tourney were subsequently canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

We’ll miss most their leadership, their presence, even during the season the team always thought about playing for them, this being their senior year and going out on a great note. They set a high standard of what it takes to be successful. They had tremendous leadership off the court, on the court, whether it was the way they practice every day or the way they brought the team together. At our captains meetings, they had really good insight into their friends and teammates.

They always had a really good pulse on what was going on with the team. It made my job easier. We just had to focus on the X’s and O’s and they took care of everything else.”

Littlefield’s growth this season gives Berube confidence that she can pick up the leadership role next year as the star guard came out of her comfort zone this year to become more vocal.

“I thought it was Bella’s team, but Carlie is who gets us going on both ends of the floor,” explained Berube.

“She plays so incredibly hard. She is just a great floor general. She’s a really smart player. I think she’s going to be a tremendous leader. She definitely stepped up into a leadership role this year, which I don’t think leading with her voice comes easy to her. Leading by example does.

She found her voice this year and inspired her teammates and I think her teammates really took to her as the floor general.”

It was important that Littlefield didn’t wait until next year to begin to become a leader, taking a vital step in her development this winter.

“To have junior leadership, I think is important, not being in the shadows, but being

in the forefront to take her teammates under her wing and show them how it’s done, and how hard we have to work and what it all means,” said Berube.

“She is so competitive in anything she does. She loves Princeton University and the program. To show the younger players what it’s about is important. She stepped up into a really important role and did a really great job.”

With Littlefield at home now in Iowa, as all Princeton students had been ordered to leave campus, she has already turned her thoughts to next season.

“Next year, the biggest emphasis for me will be leadership and leaving the kind of legacy I want to leave on this program,” said Littlefield.

“This program has given so much to me and has had so much success during my time here, so I just want to continue that success and give back to this special program.”

Unfortunately, the Tigers did not get the chance to show on the national stage just how special this year’s team was.

Their lone loss was in overtime on the road at Iowa on November 20 and the wins piled up after that. Princeton is looking to next year as a chance to complete some unfinished business from this season, and Littlefield can’t wait for her next opportunity to play and lead the Tigers.

“The way the season ended has really brought the perspective of how finite a basketball career really is to the forefront of my mind,” said Littlefield.

“It definitely taught me to cherish every moment I have with my team and with my loved ones because no game or practice or minute is guaranteed.”

PU Field Hockey Players Earn Scholars Honor

Princeton University field hockey freshman players Ophelie Bemelmans and Sam Davidson have been n a m e d 2019 Z a g F i e l d Hockey/NFHCA Division I Scholars of Distinction, the organization said last week.

The Division I Scholars of Distinction program recognizes student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative grade-point average of 3.9 or higher through the first semester of the 2019-20 academic year.

Bemelmans, who hails from Riemst, Limburg in B elg iu m, played in 11 games for the Tigers in 2019, tallying an assist, while Davidson, a native of North Andover, Mass., saw action in six contests.

T he Tigers went 16 -5 overall in 2019, reeling off 13 straight victories down the stretch, marking the program’s second longest winning streak ever. Princeton went on to win the Ivy League title and reach the NCAA championship game, where it fell 6-1 to North Carolina.

five double-doubles on the season and scored in double figures in 19 games.

One of the highlights for Aririguzoh during his senior campaign came on November 26 when he grabbed 18 rebounds in a 67-65 loss to Arizona State. Aririguzoh’s total boards that night were the most by a Princeton player since Mason Rocca had 18 against Georgetown University in March, 1999.

No Princeton player has had more than 18 rebounds since Bob Roma had 19 rebounds against Villanova Universit y in December, 1978. Aririguzoh was also honored as the Ivy League Player of the Week for the games played from December 9-15.

In response to a call by the Athletic Equipment Manager’s Association (AEMA) to all association members to use their skills, ingenuity, and sewing equipment to help in the COVID-19 crisis, the Princeton Athletic Equipment staff is pitching in.

With PDS Girls’ Hockey Progressing to the End, Ritchie Has Program Headed in Right Direction

Ritchie was happy to see one of his seniors, co-captain and star defenseman Caroline Haggerty, score the team’s goal in the finale against Rye. “She is the quintessential captain, she works hard, she was a great leader,” said Ritchie of Haggerty, a multitalented athlete who has committed to attend Middlebury College and play for its field hockey program.

“S ometimes w it h hard work, she is in the right place at the right time.”

“Hailey and Ally are going to continue to get better. This was a breakout year for Hailey. In the past, she has kind of played in the shadows. I thought she did a really good job of stepping up. She is the ultimate team player, she is not somebody who wants to score a hat trick. As for Ally, I am really happy she decided to play this season. We could have definitely used her two years ago.

its pair of goalies, junior Jillian Wexler (300 saves, .931 save percentage) and f resh man Abby A sh man (150 saves, .931 save percentage).

“I think statistically they were in the top 5 or top 10 in the state in terms of save percentage and total shots saved,” said Ritchie. “We are definitely fortunate to have both of them.”

In taking the helm of the program, Richie felt fortunate to have assistant coaches Jamie Davis, Mika Adams, and Julie DeSimone helping him guide the players.

“It was a very positive year overall for the girls and for our coaching staff; I had a lot of compliments about the staff I was able to put together,” said Ritchie.

“We all enjoyed being there at the rink together and that trickles down. I really do delegate a lot of responsibility to Jamie, Mike, and Julie. Looking forward, our goal is to continue to develop but we are trying to steer the program back to some of its more successful time. The biggest thing is to attract girls to PDS who are good student athletes but that their primary sport is hockey.”

Heading into next winter, Ritchie believes that while things are headed in the right direction there is room for even more growth.

“When I joined the program as an assistant, I didn’t have aspirations to be the head coach,” said Ritchie.

“That being said, when the opportunity presented itself and I thought about the idea of bringing that program to where it was, that was appealing to me. I think we had a really good, successful first year but I also know that there is a lot of work to do.”

April Fools’ Day is traditionally a day for harmless practical jokes, pranks, and some laughs.

This April 1 figured to be a very busy, fun day on local playing fields.

The Hun School boys’ lacrosse team was slated to host Everest Academy (Canada), while the Raider baseball team had a home game against the Hill School (Pa.). Over at the Princeton Day School, the girls’ lax team was scheduled to host archival Pennington.

Things would have been hopping around the turf field at Princeton High as the boys’ lacrosse team was welcoming the Peddie School while the track teams were hosting a trimeet against Hightstown and Notre Dame.

Meanwhile, at Princeton Un iversit y, t he s chool ’s lacrosse teams would be gearing up for a big doubleheader on April 4 as the men’s squad was slated to host Stony Brook while the women’s team was hosting a critical Ivy League clash

against Dartmouth.

But with the precautions necessitated by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the fields will be quiet.

In mid-March, the NCAA canceled the rest of the spring season. On Monday, though, it opened a door for athletes to get another chance at a full college sports experience as its Division I Council voted to grant an extra year of eligibility to all student-athletes in spring sports whose seasons were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

In order to accommodate seniors and returning athletes who wish to take advantage of that eligibility, the NCAA will allow schools to expand their rosters beyond current scholarship limits to account for incoming recruits and seniors who were expected to leave.

Meanwhile, New Jersey high school athletics is on hold as the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) declared that no interscholastic athletic competition will take

Jacques Pierre Sibeud Jacques Pierre Sibeud, dearly beloved husband, fat her, and g randfat her passed away on March 25, 2020 at home in Sag Harbor, NY, at the age of 93.

A successful business executive with an international career, Jacques was most focused on his family and friends. His intellectual curiosity, gregarious nature, and open mind attracted new lifelong friends along the way wherever he went.

Jacques was born in 1926 in Toulon, France, where his father was a French naval officer. Most of his childhood was spent in Lyon, France, where he attended a Jesuit preparatory school before going on to Le Prytanée National Militiare, a military boarding school for children of Légion d’Honneur recipients. Although his father hoped he would follow him into the Navy, Jacques was not attracted to the life of a soldier which he could appreciate very well from his experiences as a teenager

chele built a home in Water Mill, NY, where they summered for many years eventually moving in full-time in 1990. In 2014, Jacques and Michele moved again to a historic home in Sag Harbor within walking distance of the pier and village.

Once retired, Jacques had time to serve as Treasurer and then as Commodore of the Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett, NY, where he had been involved for years running the weekend sailing races and serving as Fleet Captain. He liked to joke that his father would have been very happy to see him in uniform at last! Jacques also found time to serve on the vestry at St Ann’s Church in Bridgehampton at the time when they managed the renovation of the parish house basement to a multipurpose space for hosting meetings and Sunday school. He also ushered at Sunday services on a regular basis.

Jacques had many hobbies in addition to sailing.

He was an avid bridge player and also enjoyed tennis and golf. Jacques and Michele traveled most years to California and France to visit their respective families and visited many new destinations in Europe together.

They made several trips driving across the country, visiting friends and new places each time. Jacques loved working on his garden with Michele and also cooking and hosting beautiful dinners for friends and family. Many will remember that every year he and Michele made raspberry and quince jelly to enjoy and to give as gifts. An avid reader, especially of history, and a

during World War II. Ultimately Jacques’ calling was to become a scientist so he returned home to study at l’École Supérieure de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon where he earned a chemical engineering degree and a PhD in chemistry. While working on his doctorate, Jacques made a discovery which brought him to the attention of the president of his corporate sponsor, Rhone-Poulenc, the French chemical-textile giant. In recognition of his abilities, Jacques was asked to move to the United States to build a chemical plant in New Brunswick, NJ, and spearhead the company’s new business there. The catch was he had to decide on the spot. Jacques accepted the challenge to head to an unfamiliar countr y where he did not speak the language, thereby launching a career lasting over 35 years with Rhone-Poulenc.

Ultimately Jacques reached the top echelons of RhonePoulenc as Vice PresidentTechnical, overseeing important research and the construction and acquisition of more plants in the United States including a rare earth extraction plant in Freeport, Texas.

Another very important moment came in the spring of 1963 when Jacques met the woman of his dreams at the home of a mutual friend.

After a whirlwind courtship he and Michele were married in New York City in November where they lived for the next five years. In 1968, with 3-year-old daughter, Amy, in tow they moved to Princeton, NJ, where they lived for 21 years. Another significant decision came in 1966 when Jacques and Mi-

Amelia Buck Kerlin

Amy’s interests were varied. With other family members she traced her Buck ancestry to 1635 when early English settlers arrived in Tidewater Virginia. For 35 years she and her husband enjoye d su m mers liv ing aboard the BLUE WHALE docked on Barnegat Bay, where they hosted friends and family and were the life of dock parties. Extensive travel took them on driving trips across the USA, visits to many countries in Europe, a safari in Kenya, as well as numerous cruises with good friends. She also enjoyed swimming, gardening, and tennis, winning some friendly tennis championships at the Bay Head Yacht Club. At Windrows she was known for arranging group trips to the Met Live in HD opera performances at local theatres, participating in the poets group and the Windrows Warblers, and singing humorous duets with her daughter Marie at celebratory functions.

Predeceased by her husband of 59 years, she is survived by immediate family: Christine Kerlin in the state of Washington, John Buck Kerlin of Hamilton, NJ, and Marie Kerlin of Princeton; her sister, Elizabeth Rogers of Bethesda, MD; grandchildren Kayla and Clarissa Kerlin and Mandy Murphy, whom she loved so much; and many nieces and nephews. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.

Amelia (Amy) Buck Kerlin of Princeton died March 25, 2020, at Princeton Windrows where she had resided since 2005. She was the daughter of John Newton Buck and Elizabeth Mulcare Buck. Born in 1929, Amy grew up in Washington, DC, and attended Immaculata Junior College. In 1949 she married David Darton Kerlin, moved to New Jersey in 1955, settling in Westfield for 18 years. As their three children reached adulthood, Amy used her literacy and organizational skills working at the Westfield Board of Education in records and administrative support.

They moved to Princeton in 1972 where David was the local agent for State Farm Insurance. Amy once again employed her skills at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs for eight years in RELIGIOUSLIFE.PRINCETON.EDU administrative support capacities. Her public spirit was demonstrated in her 30 years as volunteer for Recording for the Blind.

Charles F. McManus Charles F. McManus, age 100, of Princeton Junction, died peacefully in his sleep on March 22, 2020, at his home.

The son of the late Edward J. and Lenore Giblin McManus, Charles was born on June 27, 1919, in Omaha, Nebraska, where he lived for 22 years — experiencing the Dust Bowl, catching many of the Swing Era’s most renowned big bands, and, on Prohibition Era summer trips, sitting on the gate of his uncle’s ranch watching for unwanted visitors while his uncle and friends ran a still in the barn.

graduating from Omaha Central High School in 1937, he entered Creighton University, where he was Commander of the Battalion of Cadets and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Physics in 1941.

In 1949, Charles married Hattie Crute of Danville, Virginia. Together they had five children, of whom four survive him: Edward McManus (and wife Patricia) of Bristow, Virginia; Mary Bowden of Burlington, New Jersey; Frances McManus (and husband Herb) of Princeton, New Jersey; and Trent Liakris (and husband Christos) of Fieldsboro, New Jersey. After 13 years of marriage, Hattie passed away in 1963. In 1967, Charles married Marjorie (Jerry) Quick of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who survives him; as does their son Andrew McManus (and wife Stacy) of Chesterfield, New Jersey. He was predeceased by his son William C. McManus in 1994 and his brothers Robert E. McManus in 2009, Leo G. McManus in 2019, and Thomas F. McManus in 2020. He is also survived by six grandchildren.

Upon graduation from college in the summer of 1941, Charles entered the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant and served throughout World War II — deploying to the European Theater of Operations in January 1945 with the 13th Airborne Division and returning home in August 1945. He was one of the original members of the Army’s Airborne Corps and trained those that followed: the 11th, 17th, 82nd, and 101st Airborne Divisions.

After leaving active duty at the rank of Captain in 1946, Charles entered the Army Reserve, retiring in 1969 as a Colonel. Serving in the American military was one of the greatest joys of his life and provided him with many close friendships and fond memories, especially of Fort Bragg where he served a number of tours.

Charles worked in the investment banking industry for 45 years in a career that began with Harriman & Ripley and concluded with Merrill Lynch where he retired in 1991.

Along the way he also worked at Salomon Brothers, Blyth Eastman Dillon, Dean Witter, and William Sword & Co. Upon retirement, he and Jerry settled on a golf course in Sedona, AZ, where they enjoyed life for 15 years before moving back to NJ to be near family.

A devout man of faith for his entire life, Charles belonged to several Catholic parishes around the country where he served on boards and chaired various committees and support campaigns. He was an avid golfer who played into his nineties and was a member of the Springdale Golf Club in Princeton, New Jersey, for almost 50 years. He was also a lifelong fan of swing music and a lifetime member of the University Club in New York City.

Having grown up during the Depression and seen the ravages of war up close, his optimism and positive attitude were an inspiration to all. His Irish sense of humor served him well as he always remained focused on the bright side of life. He will be missed by all those who knew him.

A Memorial Mass will take place at a future date at Saint David the King RC Church.
