PPS Initiatives Seek to Promote Equity, Close The Achievement Gap A middle school oceanography course and a Diverse Educators Recruitment Day are just two of the many ways that Princeton Public Schools (PPS) have been working this summer to fulfill PPS’s strategic goal to “promote equity and access in ways that effectively eliminate the ‘achievement’ or opportunity gap.” Designed to engage and excite students who are under-represented in more advanced science courses, the oceanography class ran from August 7-18 for four hours each day. Fifteen John Witherspoon Middle School students attended the course, which was sponsored by the Princeton Area Community Foundation. “The students tried new things and took advantage of the experience,” said the instructor, Princeton High School biology teacher Jackie Katz. “We wanted Continued on Page 13

Local Organizations Mobilizing to Help Texas During the service this past Sunday at Nassau Presbyterian Church, Pastor David A. Davis urged worshippers to contribute funds for victims of the disastrous, recordbreaking flooding in Texas. At the Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks, an e-blast asking for contributions this week got an immediate response. At SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals in Skillman, discussions were ongoing Tuesday about how best to assist the rescue of dogs, cats, and other animals left to fend for themselves in the ongoing storm. Since Hurricane Harvey made landfall on Friday evening, August 25, as the first category 4 hurricane to hit the United States since Katrina in 2005, the destruction has been relentless and will take years to address. Anxious to help, local organizations have begun mobilizing to offer assistance — monetary and otherwise. Money collected last Sunday at the Nassau Presbyterian Church goes to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, which has resources and a national response team
ready to deploy once it is safe to do so. “Initially, we will send money to that fund,” said the church business administrator Linda Gilmore, on Monday. “We got an email early today saying they are in touch with the affected area. That’s the fastest way to do something. With Katrina, we went through them initially and then had some groups go down to help. It might be that we formulate other responses later, but we’ve learned that getting funds to organizations already mobilized is better than us trying to get supplies to them. As we see what’s really needed long-term, we might do more.” Ms. Gilmore said those who wish to contribute can either send a check, designated for storm relief, to the church at 61 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542; or donate online at nassauchurch.org. Otherwise, contribute directly to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance at pda.pcusa.org. Paula Joffe, director of women’s philanthropy at the Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks, said 100 percent of all
monies donated via www.jewishpmb. org/harvey go directly to the relief effort. “Our community is amazingly empathetic and responsive,” she said. “Whenever we have put out appeals to our supporters to help communities in crisis around the country, our community stands up. They are amazing people.” Continued on Page 9
Town Settles Lawsuit Brought By AvalonBay A lawsuit filed by AvalonBay against the town of Princeton has been settled with the municipality agreeing to pay the developer $50,000. Princeton Council passed a resolution at its meeting last week to end the dispute, which was over charges to the escrow account created by AvalonBay during construction of the rental complex on Witherspoon Street where Princeton Hospital once stood.

Volunteering is second nature to Jeremy Perlman. The 28-year-old grew up watching his father and grandfather serve on the boards of local nonprofit organizations.

oppor t u nit ies for you ng professionals,” Mr. Perlman said. “I felt they were a little lacking in that they were a lot of small talk but not really rolling up their sleeves and accomplishing things together and making an impact on their community. There are opportunities to maybe volunteer for a day,
or an event, but that doesn’t require the same level of engagement in an organization. Someone had told me about a giving circle, and a light bulb went off in my head.” Giving circles offer a more focused opportunity to help. “Members can have an impact on their community, and it also helps them become leaders and board members

if they might not otherwise know how to go about it,” Mr. Perlman continued. “Do you just go to a food pantry and volunteer for awhile and hope someone asks you to serve on the board? It’s hard to know how to do it, and everyone is trying to juggle so much — career, family, and personal lives. So volunteering and philanthropy can be easily forgotten.” A graduate of The Lawrenceville School and the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Perlman is an account executive at Borden Perlman Insurance. He sits on the boards of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County, the Trenton Circus Squad, and University of Pennsylvania’s Hillel. Mr. Perlman’s father, Jeffrey Perlman, is a former trustee of PACF.

Question of the Week:
“What are you most looking forward to this school year?” (Asked at Terhune Orchards) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)
Jeremy Perlman Because he was familiar with PACF, Mr. Perlman turned to the organization when the idea for a giving circle began to take shape. “I was trying to figure out how to make this a reality,” he said. “I talked to PACF to see what they knew about the giving circle world. I met with the executive director and lear ned about their Fund for Women and Girls, which is a giving circle. They already have all the administration in place and backend support to be able to do it.” Founding members of the NextGen Giving Circle come from several firms including J.P. Morgan, Klatzkin & Company, Morgan Stanley, MassMutual, Optimal Portfolio, Intelligent Office Princeton, The Peacock Inn, Fox Rothschild, and Stark & Stark, among others. Anyone can join, but most members are in the 20- to 40-year-old age range. “It’s about giving back,” Mr. Perlman said. “It’s an opportunity to make a difference in the community.” —Anne Levin

BOOK REVIEW
Growing Up With Jerry Lewis (1926-2017), Looking for Dick Gregory (1934-2017)
O
n the age-old problem of how to begin, what better guide than John McPhee? In his new book Draft No. 4: John McPhee on the Writing Process (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux $25), he says “a lead should not be cheap, flashy, meretricious, blaring. After a tremendous fanfare of verbal trumpets, a mouse comes out of a hole blinking.” He goes on: “The lead — like the title — should be a flashlight that shines down into the story.” And then: “A lead is good not because it dances, fires cannons, or whistles like a train but because it is absolute to what follows.” A Walk by the Lake Now that I’m out of the mousehole smiling, I have to admit that my favorite remedy for the ordeal of the lead is to go for a walk by the lake. On my way toward the Harrison Street bridge the other day, sidestepping some geese poking along between me and the water, I’m thinking about the two famous comedians, one black, one Jewish, whose deaths coincided with the white supremacist invasion of Charlottesville. My problem is that while I’ve grown up, for better or worse, with Jerry Lewis, I didn’t know much about Dick Gregory until the last minute discovery noted later. Midway across the bridge, I watch a great blue heron descending on the eastern shore, my cue to head back to the car. It’s a family tradition that a walk by the lake is complete whenever you see a heron. That’s it. Then you know the walk was worth taking. But this time what completes the walk is on the other side of the bridge, just off the path. It’s a dead turtle, or rather it’s the perfect, boldly patterned, stunningly undead shell of one. The creature that once inhabited the big dark armorial object is gone, but look what it left behind. Doing Jerry The turtle shell sends me half a century back to another lake where my best friend and I used to spend balmy southern Indiana nights catching and cooking frogs and generally clowning around. We specialized in Jerry Lewis travesties of movie stars, Jerry as James Dean, Jerry as Brando the Nazi soldier in The Young Lions ambushing Dean Martin as he saunters along singing “That’s Amore.” We knew all the screechy spastic manic Jerry moves. “Oh da pain!” was our password — a WASP from Kansas and a Jewish roughneck from Chicago who transferred to my school his junior year and immediately found himself doing battle with another freshly arrived tough guy from the Windy City, who came to school armed with a knife (and went on to become a successful accountant based in London). One reason the fight never got past the cursing stage was that my pal did a Jerry Lewis so brilliant, so pure, so gloriously stupid that his opponent almost died laughing. Jerry as Babysitter Driving home, I’m wishing that the late C.K. Williams was still available for coffee at Small World so I could ask him what
it was like to have Jerry Lewis for a baby sitter. Both the poet and the clown were born and raised in Newark, and my guess is it would have been around 1942, when Williams was six and Lewis 16, “a high school dropout and a show-business wannabe,” as he puts it in his memoir Dean and Me: A Love Story: “I was tall, skinny, gawky; cute but funny-looking …. I always saw the humor in things, the joke possibilities.” So chances are he tried his act out, miming, making faces, running through a whole vocabulary of outrageous body English for little Charlie. Jerry and Holden I might have learned more about the early adventures of the clown and the future poet during a real-life coffee chat with Williams about J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, which C.K. celebrates in his 2012 collection In Time. When he read the book at 16, “it was as close as I’d ever come to revelation …. I felt illuminated, enlightened, en chanted.” If we’d talked about what sor t of a f i l m t he novel would have made, we’d have undoubtedly gotten around to Jerry Lewis, who was famously obsessed with the idea of m a k i ng a film of The Catcher in which he himself played Holden Caulfield. For all my misgivings about the damage Lewis (or any other director) might have done had Salinger ever sold the rights, I’ve always thought Jerry’s identification with the novel one of the most interesting things about him. Holden Caulfield moved him with an intensity comparable to the “revelation” experienced by Williams, who looks back on the novel in the light of his coming of age as a poet potentially influenced by the “tonally very complex” style Salinger uses for Holden, whose “sentences are contorted, turning in on themselves, going on and on past where anyone in a normal state of mind would end a thought to start another.”
What Jerry Lewis saw was a character he was sure he’d been born to play. Who else but a Lewis-type schlub would leave the fencing team’s equipment on the subway? Who else would back out of sex with a call girl saying “I was a little premature in my calculations.” The nightclub scene where Holden jitterbugs with a “dopey girl” from Seattle would fit right into a Jerry Lewis film. When she asks how old he is, Holden says, “I’m twelve for Chrissake. I’m big for my age.” After being scolded for using “that type language,” he gets her out on the floor and ‘”she was really good. All you had to do was touch her …. She knocked me out, I mean it. I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.” There are a few crude echoes of The Catcher in Dean and Me, as when Lewis writes, “to tell the absolute truth, it was pretty goddamn funny.” Or this: “The truth is, funny sentences were always running through my brain: I thought funny. But I was ashamed of what would come out if I spoke — that nasal kid’s voice.” Salinger was hounded with offers from Hollywood, but no one persisted the way Jerry Lewis did. He saw in Holden a sad alter ego in need of company; to be denied the opportunity was like being denied a chance to, as John McPhee might put it, shine a flashlight down into the story of his life. In The Total Film-Maker, published in 1971 when Lewis was 45, he says, “I have been in the throes of trying to buy The Catcher in the Rye for a long time. What’s the problem? The author, J.D. Salinger! He doesn’t want more money. He just doesn’t even want to discuss it. I’m
not the only Beverly Hills resident who’d like to purchase Salinger’s novel. Dozens have tried …. Why do I want it? I think I’m the Jewish Holden Caulfield.” Enter Dick Gregory Here I am writing on Charlie Parker’s birthday, the column is ready to go, and I’ve given up looking for some workable connection to Dick Gregory only to find, thanks to the internet, that Gregory plays a jazz musician based on Parker in an independent film from 1967 called Sweet Love, Bitter. The film is adapted from Newark native John Williams’s novel Night Song and has an excellent score by Mal Waldron. The fact that Gregory’s co-star is Don Murray would be no big deal if I hadn’t just seen the amazing 16th episode of Twin Peaks: The Return, in which an aged Murray is a key witness to the moment we’ve been waiting for, when Dale Cooper the Holy Fool becomes the FBI agent we know and love. Showtime will air the two-episode finale on Showtime Sunday. Having just begun watching Sweet Love, Bitter on YouTube, I can’t really say much about it except that Gregory plays the role of Eagle (as in Bird) like a highly intelligent black comedian doing a clever if predictable impersonation of a charismatic black jazz musician. Writing in the Jan. 31, 1967 New York Times, the inimitable Bosley Crowther, whose clueless review of Bonnie and Clyde later the same year reportedly cost him his job, calls “Mr. Gregory’s predominating performance splashy and rich in jazz-world slang.” Classic Crowther is the line, “this chap is his own worst enemy.” Gary Giddins, the author of Celebrating Bird: The Triumph of Charlie Parker, recalls the cinematic situation as that of “a neurotic black genius and his worshipful white pal.” Giddins also had the good fortune to see Dick Gregory the comedian at the Village Gate in 1964 (though Dizzy Gillespie stole the show) and remembers him as “a singular, dapper, cool wit, who walked the line that Bill Cosby ignored, between everyman social observations and racial specificity.” “Once In a Pale Blue Moon” ’m still reading McPhee’s Draft No. 4, savoring it, smiling over it, sometimes laughing out loud. Having begun in the reflected glory of a trio of quotes from a book that you don’t have to be a writer to enjoy, I’ll end with one of my favorites, inspired by an editor’s questioning of a descriptive phrase applied to himself. “A sincere mustache, Mr. McPhee. What does that mean? Was I implying that it is possible to have an insincere mustache?” After running the gamut of possibilities, from a “no-nonsense mustache” to a “gyroscopic mustache” to a “soothing mustache,” McPhee says something we should all hang above our desks: “Writing has to be fun at least once in a pale blue moon.” —Stuart Mitchner

Statewide, New Jersey Task Force 1 was activated as members of the National Urban Search and Rescue Response System and deployed to Texas to help with rescue and recovery. The state’s Office of Emergency Management sends volunteers out in waves, and could possibly call on some local police personnel to help with the effort. “With Katrina, we sent three officers,” said Sergeant Frederick R. Williams, a spokesman for the Princeton Police Department. “When they contact us, if a second or third wave is needed, we might get some volunteers. We have one officer, Jorge Narvaez, who is a reservist in the Air Force, waiting to see if he’s activated.” The Rev. Bob Moore of Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action advises people to contribute to the Red Cross. “They are sending 17 from New Jersey,” he said. “Obviously, all of us here feel chagrined and compassion for the people who are suffering and in a crisis situation. One of the nice things about the Red Cross is that this is what it is in business for. They are primed to respond.” Visit redcross.org to donate. Blood donations are especially needed, especially from those with type O-positive blood, according to the AABB Interorganizational Task Force on Domestic Disasters and Acts of Terrorism. “We are asking all potential donors, both current and first-timers, to make a commitment to donate blood or platelets as soon as possible,” said Dennis Todd, chair of the task force, in a press release. With blood drives canceled for multiple days in southeast Texas, donations will be needed in coming weeks. Those anxious to help with animal rescues can contact wingsofrescue.org, which on Tuesday flew more than 100 dogs out of the flood area. Locally, SAVE is hoping to partner with St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, which has shelters in Madison and Somerville, in assisting animal rescue efforts. Scams always arise in disaster response scenarios. To avoid them, the organization Charity Navigator has compiled a list of highly-rated groups that provide assistance. Among those recommended are Houston Food Bank, Food Bank of Corpus Christi, Houston Humane Society, and San Antonio Humane Society. Visit charitynavigator.org for information. —Anne Levin

AvalonBay Lawsuit continued from page one
We Serve The Best Hoagies On Earth Or Any Place Else
609-921-7723 242 Nassau Street • Princeton, NJ 08542
The municipality had used the funds to pay the Whitman Environmental and Engineering firm, which was overseeing the project. In the lawsuit filed last May, AvalonBay claimed that the work done by the company was not actual engineering, but “observational.” The suit also stated that some of the employees at the site were not licensed engineers. AvalonBay was original-
ly seeking $100,000, but later changed the figure to $89,000. According to Mayor Liz Lempert, the town does not admit to doing anything wrong in the settlement agreement. “The municipality stands by the fact that these charges were proper,” Ms. Lempert said last week before the August 21 Council meeting. “Our decision to settle was based on an effort to try to avoid continued litigation
costs and conserve staff resources.” This is not the first dispute between AvalonBay and the municipality. This past June, an appeals court upheld a lower court’s ruling over how long an affordable housing restriction must stay in place. As a result, the developer must price 56 units at the Witherspoon Street complex at below market rates for at least 30 years. Previous to that lawsuit, AvalonBay took the town to court twice. —Anne Levin

to expose the students to content that they would not typically see in a middle school curriculum, as well as the idea that science is not always conducted in the lab.” Discussing the idea of density and buoyancy in the first week, the students went to see an ocean glider at Rutgers University and then created their own model glider out of a helium balloon. Investigating water quality and the use of sensors to collect data in the second week, the students took water samples from the Princeton area and did some tests, then went on a boat trip and collected data from the Raritan Bay. The students also deployed the ocean glider they had worked on the previous week. The program ended with the students building their own temperature sensor. “I hope that this program continues to grow to include more students and cultivates an enthusiasm for science,” said Ms. Katz. “It is important that students understand that you do not need to be at the top of your class to excel in the sciences. Science is a huge field that allows for participation by all types of learners. I feel as though I grew as a teacher, so I am hoping that the students feel the same.” On another front in the quest for equity, Superintendent Steve Cochrane emphasized the importance of building a more diverse staff that reflects the diversity of the community. On Monday, August 14, PPS hosted a Diverse Educators Recruitment Day for general
education teachers, administrators, special education teachers, and other education professionals. “We know how important it is for students to see individuals who look like them in leadership positions in their classrooms and schools,” Mr. Cochrane said. “We also know that the more diversity we have among our educators, the better our schools will be for all students.” Ninet y -four applic ants participated in the recruitment day. Currently 56 percent of PPS students are white, and 86 percent of the staff is wh ite. Mr. C o ch ra ne pointed out that the district is making a conscious effort to increase the number and percentage of teachers and administrators of color in the schools. As of last week 16 new teachers had been hired, more than 30 percent being teachers of color. “It was great to see the quality and number of prospective teachers and administrators who turned out for the job fair,” said Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Lew Goldstein. “Our efforts to recruit and retain additional educators of color will be ongoing as we work to reflect our student and community profile now and in the years to come.” PPS will hold additional diversity recruitment days and will also continue to participate with 17 other school districts in the Central Jersey Program for Recruitment of Diverse Educators job fair in March of each year. Mr. Cochrane and other
administrators are also looking to travel to historically black colleges and universities during the coming school year to do recruiting on site. “It’s a benefit to all students to have more teachers and administrators of color,” Mr. Cochrane said, “and we’re committed to that.” Speaking on an education panel at the Joint Effort Safe Streets program earlier in
the month, Mr. Cochrane emphasized the importance of racial literacy and “looking at what we’re doing through the lens of equity.” “We live in a world in which race is an important reality, and we want our students to be able to navigate that world,” he said. “Racial literacy is critically important for our students and our country.”
In addition to a new high school elective course on racial literacy, the history department has revised the U.S. History 1 curriculum, beginning the year with a unit on race. Other initiatives to be implemented in the coming year will include a revision of the third grade curriculum to include a study of local history, race, and slavery
in Princeton in the unit on the Colonial era; training in exploration of implicit biases for staff and students; continuation of days of dialogue at the high school with students visiting from other schools; and monthly meetings with administrators for feedback from the community. —Donald Gilpin

Pointing Out Ways Senior Living Project On North Harrison Would Benefit Princeton
To the Editor: I have heard anecdotally that some Princeton residents feel the Sunrise Senior Living project proposed for North Harrison Street would have negative effects on our community. I feel differently, and would like to point out a few ways in which this project would benefit Princetonians. As proposed, the senior living project would provide 76 units in two low-rise buildings on 3.5 acres of land. A senior living project would enable Princeton residents to continue living in their community without the burdens of maintaining a single-family home and lot. The location for the Sunrise project is ideal because it is adjacent to the shopping center. Because residents of the project can walk to stores and services, it will support regular exercise, health, and personal independence. By adding customers next door, the project will support retail that caters to daily needs, and in a way that will not increase traffic or demand for parking at the shopping center. The fact that the shopping center is already served by transit means that no new transit or shuttle services would be needed, and car-free independence for seniors is available. Finally, a senior living project would strengthen the local tax base without adding demand for new local services. For all these reasons, I believe the addition of the new senior living project is something to be applauded rather than opposed. I hope the conversation locally will focus on how to take advantage of new construction to deliver local improvements rather than on questions of whether it should be developed at all.

Collaboration: Finding the Right Support Is Critical When Someone Needs Help
To the Editor: Police Chief Nick Sutter rightly highlighted the importance of “collaboration with medical and psychological health experts and facilities as well as preventative education” as being critical if we are going to effectively support, treat, and combat what is not only a local problem, but a national one: the opioid epidemic [“Physicians from Lowest-ranked Schools Prescribe more opioids, PU Study Says,” Town Topics, Wednesday, August 23]. At Trinity Counseling Service [TCS] there are days we receive more than 15 or 20 referrals for counseling and support, many of which are for referrals appropriate for TCS, but some of which might be for services that would be more appropriately provided by partner agencies or colleagues in the community. For example, given that we don’t specialize in drug or alcohol treatment at TCS, when we receive a call from someone struggling with a drug or alcohol-related issue, we may refer the caller to Corner House, Topicsa partner organization that does, in fact, specialize
PRINCETON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ROSSEN MILANOV , MUSIC DIRECTOR
in drug and alcohol treatment and addiction issues. Princeton House Behavioral Health also has addiction specialists on staff and there are private practitioners in town as well to whom we refer clients. Knowing who/where to call, and then finding the right therapist or mental health support can be a daunting task, but it’s an essential part of the healing process. If we aren’t the right fit for a client seeking help, we do our best every day to help people navigate the process and find an agency or therapist who is the right fit to start their healing process — and we’re constantly collaborating with our medical, psychological, faith-based, and increasingly, law enforcement partners to offer the best care to our community. Collaboration is key. WHITNEy B. roSS Edm, Phd Executive director, Trinity Counseling Service
McCaffreys Shoppers Will Be Asked to Donate Extra Food in Honor of Susie Waxwood Sept. 9
To the Editor: yes We CAN! Food drives is partnering with the yWCA Princeton at its Saturday, September 9, food drive at mcCaffrey’s in honor of Susie B. Waxwood day. mrs. Waxwood, who died in 2006 at the age of 103, was the first African American Executive director of the integrated yWCA/ymCA Princeton, from 1958 to 1968. Each year, the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, of which mrs. Waxwood was an active member for 60 years, honors her birthday by continuing the tradition she began at the time of her September birthday, the collecting of the amount of canned goods from her congregation that represented her age. She would then donate it to The Crisis ministry in Princeton as a way of alleviating hunger. Before she died, she commissioned historian and well-known community activist Shirley Satterfield to continue the legacy of the annual memorial food drive. Partnering with yes We CAN!, a volunteer group that regularly collects food on behalf of Arm in Arm, formerly known as The Crisis ministry, made perfect sense to the yWCA Princeton, which this year is organizing the Susie B. Waxwood day. Since 2008, yes We CAN! Food drives has collected over 150 tons of food to help alleviate hunger in mercer County. Volunteers from the yWCA and yes We CAN! will be on hand September 9 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Princeton mcCaffrey’s to ask shoppers to donate some extra food in honor of Susie Waxwood, a very special woman.

Shocked to See Carnival-Type Signage On Repaved Canal Pointe Boulevard
To the Editor: After all the time it took to arrange the repaving of Canal Pointe Boulevard, I was shocked to see the carnival-type signage and labeling of the roadway. This short strip, once a side road, is now covered with signs — too many to read while driving. The road’s neon labelling is redundant — every marking is made at least twice. The “road diet” and bicycle access themes have cost much more than expected. We now see a major city road. It is shameful that the result of all the political interests being accommodated compromises good sense. C.S. CoPLEy Alexander road

is officially a “Welcoming Community,” the purpose of which is to “foster a culture and policy environment that makes it possible for newcomers of all backgrounds to feel valued and to fully participate alongside their neighbors in the social, civic, and economic fabric of their adopted hometowns.” And we look forward to participating in Welcoming Week, starting September 15. We are encouraged by your stand and our governmental and community goals and initiatives. We must continue the momentum. residents still suffer from the hurtful legacy of segregation in Princeton. There are students who don’t feel a sense of belonging. members of our undocumented community and other vulnerable groups feel marginalized. The more we understand about our past and how it still affects us, the more we speak about our own experiences of struggle, the more we listen to the experiences of our neighbors and friends who still yearn for fundamental treatment of dignity and fairness, the closer we will be to becoming a community where the fundamental rights of justice and equality prevail for all. We believe that Princeton can be a leader in achieving this vision. Please let us know how we can support you in having this become a reality.

dear mayor Lempert: members of Not in our Town Princeton thank you for your stand on behalf of our town by signing the recent mayor’s Compact to Combat Hate, Extremism, and Bigotry, launched by the United States Conference of mayors and the Anti defamation League (AdL), in response to the tragic incidents in Charlottesville. We understand that the goal of this initiative is “to make cities safer for all who live there, and to promote the fundamental principles of justice and equality that define our nation.” The compact states that “mayors and their cities must continue to be a beacon for inclusion, tolerance, and respect for all. We will continue to create stronger cultures of kindness and compassion in our communities, and expect our federal and state partners to join us in this endeavor.” Jonathan greenblatt, AdL CEo and national director pointed out that “Charlottesville made clear that we have a lot more work to do in our communities and we can’t wait a minute longer to step up our efforts.” We are fortunate that you and our Town Council have many government and community partners who have already shown their commitment to these goals. These include our newly formed Civil rights Commission, Human Services department, our Police department (whose staff regularly undergo anti-bias training), LALdEF, school leaders and students themselves who are making racial literacy a priority, our Witherspoon Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, the annual Joint Effort Princeton Safe Streets programs, Corner House, the Arts Council of Princeton, the Princeton Public Library, yWCA, ymCA, Princeton Historical Society, and many other community groups and individuals whose mission and advocacy efforts are devoted to making our community one where all are safe and respected. Additionally, we appreciate that Princeton

MCCC Gallery Faculty Exhibit Now Open
The Galler y at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) puts its own faculty in the spotlight for the “2017 MCCC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit.” The show runs through Thursday, September 28. The community is invited to an opening reception on Wednesday, August 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. The gallery is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
The show features ap proximately 20 works by full-time and adjunct faculty members.

According to Gallery Director Lucas Kelly, MCCC Professor of Fine Arts, the faculty show is an opportunity for students to see the fruits of their professors’ studio practice. “Professors maintain their professional practice while also working with students in the classroom. Both parts of this duality inform each other. Seldom does a professor’s studio work enter the classroom, but it is their

Compar
Fifty Years After Bonnie and Clyde, Anything Can Happen: A Couple’s Tale
T
he first time my wife and I saw Bonnie and Clyde, the gunfire-driven dance of death at the end left us limp, wiped out, we couldn’t move. We’d been married less than a year. For a couple destined to see thousands of films together over the next 50 years, it was a defining moment. If one of us had started to get right up and leave as if it had been “just another movie” or if one of us had raved about it only to be greeted by a blank look, it wouldn’t have augured well for the future of the marriage. So here we are, still together in August 2017, seated side by side watching an episode of Game of Thrones that makes Bonnie and Clyde look like a Road Runner cartoon. The Couple: Quick View Take an essentially apolitical male and mate him with female shaped by the Free Speech Movement and you can guess who steers the ship. The couple in question met in Berkeley, worked for the McCarthy campaign and watched the horror show of 1968 Democratic convention, she refusing to vote for Humphrey, he refusing not to. They marched against the war, cheered the fall of Agnew and Nixon, endured eight years of Reagan, lived through the highs and lows of Clinton. After the fatal 2000 electoral college/Supreme Court fiasco that put Bush-Cheney in the White House, they marched against the invasion of Iraq, shared the happy sad Obama movie before being blindsided by the toxic triumph of the Birther that left them limp, wiped out, like the couple they were after Bonnie and Clyde exploded in their faces. In August 1967, when we picked ourselves up and staggered out of the theatre, we were sure that we’d seen a great film. Hadn’t we risen from the dead, leaving Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the dust of the ambush? We’d had a good time, a memorable time. Our lust for action and comedy and visual splendor had been satisfied. Five stars! Four thumbs up! But in August 2017 it’s another story. Slaughtering the Audience Seeing Bonnie and Clyde again on DVD allows for a degree of brutal objectivity. Now we can see how cleverly Arthur Penn entrapped us. All a good director needs is a couple of attractive leads, a gifted character actor in Gene Hackman, a touch of comic relief with Gene Wilder, a Flatt and Scruggs hoedown soundtrack, Burnett Guffey’s cinematography, Dede Allen’s editing, lots of explosive action, and, finally, a tender love scene strategically deployed ahead of the slaughter. No wonder we felt hammered, shot to pieces with the love glow of the happy couple warming our movie-hungry hearts. We’d bonded with the lovers being blitzed, blasted, blown away. That was us up there, the vicarious victims beautifully slaughtered on the big screen. Glimmers of Awareness I don’t mean to disparage Penn’s achievement, especially compared to the Hollywood product circa 1967. Watching
the DVD, we appreciate the glimmers of political-historical awareness we found appealing at the time: the scene where Clyde lets a farmer shoot out the windows of the home he’d lived in before the bank repossessed it; the moment during a bank hold-up when Clyde lets one man keep his money; the sense of period and place, especially the dusty Grapes of Wrath/Dorothea Lange ambience of Bonnie’s farewell visit to her mother. And there’s no denying that the last sequence is a landmark of American cinema, a film in itself, the life of the whole picture
a stir in fashion with what British Vogue ter med “the chic bandit aesthetic,” noting a touch of the French New Wave in Bonnie’s berets and neck scarves. “The clothes are divine,” Dunaway said at the time. “They’re masculine styles in a feminine way.” According to Vogue, “Sales of berets skyrocketed from 5,000 to 12,000 per week in the French town of Lourdes where they were produced. Calf-skimming skirts made a comeback. Young women scoured the shops for silk and V-neck sweaters – and so did their grandmothers.”
passing before our eyes in that one sequence as we die with the lovers — it’s in the brief flash of a look they exchange, a fraction of a second’s doomed recognition, and from Bonnie a sweet lost loving smile before the guns start blazing. The simplistic plotline, that Clyde’s “no lover boy,” is redeemed by Bonnie’s ballad about their exploits, which is what finally makes a lover of Clyde, not some act of manly bravado. With some help from the newspapers reprinting her poem, she’s given his life meaning. “You told my story,” he tells her. “You made me somebody they’re gonna remember.” Fashion Statements Besides staking out a new frontier in film violence, Bonnie and Clyde caused
Gun Crazy One thing that differentiates Dunaway’s Bonnie and Beatty’s Clyde from embattled outlaw couples like Sylvia Sidney and Henry Fonda in Fritz Lang’s You Only Live Once, and Farley Granger and Cathy O’Donnell in Nicholas Ray’s They Live By Night is the way their privacy is constantly invaded by the rest of the Barrow gang, Clyde’s brother Buck (Hackman) and his screechy sister-in-law Blanche (Estelle Parsons), and the repellent oaf C.W. Moss (Michael J. Pollard), whose father helps engineer the ambush. The Bonnie/Clyde dynamic is reversed in Joseph H. Lewis’s Gun Crazy (1950), where Annielaurie (Peggy Cummins) is the gunslinging killer, while her sharpshooter lover Bart Tare (John Dall) can’t
abide the idea of killing anything. Even with his lover urging him on, it’s a moral crisis for him to shoot out the tires of the patrol car pursuing them. Annielaurie is a classic femme fatale, and Dall the classic victim, but the true love passion bonding them comes across with a force of feeling lacking in Bonnie and Clyde. Anything Can Happen There they sit, the couple with the long history of moviegoing, limp, wiped-out again, can’t move, after watching Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones. “It felt like being a kid again” is a tried and true cliche of response, but even that doesn’t cover the “Can you believe it?” enormity of the thing. It’s time to speak of awe, that word drained of its essence by the coming of awesome as the word of choice — when was it? Probably in the 1980s. But what can you say when common sense has been blown out the window? Well, you can quote Thoreau in the concluding chapter of Walden: “I desire to speak somewhere without bounds …. Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring.” The word that set Thoreau off was extravagance, which he breaks in half as extra vagance, writing, “I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limits of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced.” Thinking beyond the narrow limits is the only way to deal with what happened Outside the Wall last night. It’s crazy, completely impossible; some otherwise faithful viewers have found it incredible, even downright silly. But anyone who’s been watching Game of Thrones from the first season on should know by now that the abiding message of this show is anything can happen. The Series That Never Ends So where do we draw the line? When things get grossly clinical or needlessly brutal, my wife will say, “I can’t look,” and cover her eyes. At one point in the first season of Sons of Anarchy, she said, “That’s it, enough. I can’t watch this any more.” I might have stuck with the program, but watching without her isn’t the same. Half the fun is in the sharing, and it’s our mutual understanding of the “like a kid again” nature of our response to a show like Game of Thrones that unifies us and keeps us watching even when the material is “unsuitable for children,” not to mention all the adults who have covered their eyes. hen of course, there’s breaking news, the series that never ends, whether it’s terrorism, fighting in the streets, or chaos in the White House. Every day we want to cover our eyes and ears, but we can’t. There’s no drawing of the line or looking the other way. This, too, we share. —Stuart Mitchner

“Seuls en Scène” French las Bouchaud, on September grandmother asks her grandTheater Artists on Stage 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. at the son to read her a book so that Matthews Acting Studio, 185 Nassau Street. Interview has a special tie to Princeton: its first rehearsals occurred during Seuls en Scène 2015 with space provided by the University. Since its local beginnings, Interview has grown into a well-reviewed play. It debuted at the 2016 Avignon Theater Festival and continued with a successful French tour. In the play, Judith Henry and Nicolas Bouchaud take turns answering the interview questions that saturate our media. They become politicians, artists, and athletes in turn, all trying to avoid tropes and keep their responses true. Tiago Rodrigues will present his play, By Heart, on September 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. Mr. Rodrigues was recently appointed the youngest-ever artistic director of Portugal’s national theater, the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II Lisboa. Appropriately, he chooses as his subject the nonlinear transmission of knowledge between generations: a blind
she may learn it by heart. Mr. Rodrigues uses ten audience volunteers to participate in the reading and learning of that text, making them complicit in the text’s fiction — and in the situation’s reality. Olivier Py, current artistic director of the Avignon Theater Festival, makes his Princeton debut directing Prométhée Enchaîné and Les Suppliantes, two pieces inspired by Aeschylus’s original text and separated by a short intermission. They will be performed at the Butler College Amphitheater on September 23 at 2 p.m. and September 24 at 5 p.m. Mr. Py first presented the pieces at the 2016 Avignon Theater Festival. The plays, about a god who breaks the rules by giving man art and fire, have since toured France. On September 26 and 27 at 8 p.m. in the Matthews Acting Studio, Dorothée Munyaneza presents Unwanted. She performs her work in English and investigates the women of the Rwandan genocide, their stories, the rape they experienced, and the fate of the female body. Unwanted is Ms. Munyaneza’s second work. She enlists South African vi sual artist Bruce Clarke, com poser Alain Mahé, and AfroAmerican musician Holland Andrews to tell her story with song and dance where words begin to fail; by telling a per sonal story, she offers dignity to those who suffered anony mously without. Portrait(s) Foucault—Letzlove by Pierre Maillet will play at the Matthews Acting Studio on September 28 and 29 at 8 p.m. Mr. Maillet uses a book of conversations between philosopher Michel Foucault and young hitchhiker Thierry Voetzel, who was at first un aware of his driver’s identity. Together, they discuss the main topics of summer 1975, namely new attitudes toward family, drugs, and music. What starts as a text about Thierry becomes a portrait of Fou cault, and an innocuous nar rative becomes a study of revo lution. Mr. Maillet is currently supported by the Comédie de Caen and the Comédie de Saint-Étienne, and Portrait(s) Foucault—Letzlove debuted in the 2016-17 theater season to critical acclaim. Guillaume Vincent presents Myrrha, an excerpt from his recent show, Songes et Méta morphoses, on September 30 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the Whitman College Class of 1970 Theater. He tells the story of several Ovidian myths as they are understood by high school ers who learn about them in school. In the students’ eyes, the myths take on existential meaning that redefines the bounds of performance. On October 7 at 4 p.m., L’Avant-Scène will present key scenes from Jean Racine’s Phaèdra in a new translation by Princeton senior Marc Decitre as part of A Festival of the Arts that will celebrate the opening of the new Lewis Arts complex. The opening festival will run from October 5 through 8 at the arts com plex and venues throughout the campus and will feature dozens of performances, con certs, readings, exhibitions, screenings, master classes, jam sessions, lectures, and other events open to the public, most of them free. Further information about L’Avant-Scène can be found at https://fit.princeton.edu/ lavant-scène.
Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, Department of French and Italian, and L’Avant-Scène will present the sixth annual Seuls en Scène French Theater Festival, which will take place from September 15 to 30 at venues across the University’s campus. Some performances will be in English, while others will be in French with English subtitles; all are free and open to the public. Seuls en Scène ushers in the 17th season of L’AvantScène, a French theater troupe of Princeton students. It also celebrates professional theatrical achievements from the past year: many of the invited artists to Seuls en Scène are prominent contributors to contemporary theater in France. The festival is organized by Florent Masse, senior lecturer in the department of French and Italian and director of FRENCH THEATER FESTIVAL: “Seuls en Scène” French Theater Festival begins with Nicolas L’Avant-Scène.

New Director of SAVE Promotes Visibility, And Also Plans to Increase Its Donor Base The resemblance is striking. Heather L. Achenbach, the director of SAV E, A Friend to Homeless Animals since June, looks so much like former director Piper Burrows that people frequently mistake her for her predecessor. “Piper and I did spend a little time together after I started here,” said Ms. Achenbach, who worked for 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry. “We didn’t know each other but had spoken on the phone. When we met, she said, ‘Oh, this is weird.’ People say our personalities are similar, too.” T h e t a l l, s hor t- ha ire d brunette also shares Ms.
Burrows’ passion for the welfare of stray and abandoned cats and dogs. At its 10,000-square-foot facility in Skillman, where the organization moved at the end of 2015, there is room for 75 cats and 25 dogs and space for potential “forever families” to interact with them. “My love for animals was becoming more and more powerful,” said Ms. Achenbach, who has two pets from SAVE. “I had started fostering kittens. I said to myself, I want to spend the second half of my working life doing something that has more purpose.” After two decades in clinical trial operations manage-
ment and coaching, development, mentoring, customer service, and budget management, Ms. Achenbach found herself considering a different path. “I had spent every year excited for the coming year,” she said. “But in time, it just wasn’t happening for me.” She left the pharmaceutical industry to try and figure out her next step. “I didn’t want to look for another job while I was working, so I basically set myself free,” she said. “But I had specifically targeted people and pets as a combination. When this job came up, I couldn’t believe it. My own vet reached out to me about it. And it all came together.” Ms. Achenbach grew up in Pine Grove, Pa., and graduated from Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa. She was chosen following a national search by SAVE’s board of trustees, who considered some 60 applicants for the executive director position. “After an extensive interview process with a number of highly qualified candidates, the SAVE board was thrilled
to bring Ms. Achenbach on board. The combination of Heather’s management experience and results-driven collaborative leadership is the right mix to strengthen and expand SAVE’s work,” said board president Pamela Murdoch in June. While it has been nearly two years since SAVE moved from its cramped, crumbling quar ters on Her rontow n Road to the Skillman facility, there is still work to be done in terms of familiarizing the public with the location. And that is one of Ms. Achenbach’s goals. “Building our visibility in this optimal location is an opportunity to further cement ourselves in the community,” she said. “We want to be a resource for people. And it’s important we get funding from the community, which is especially important considering a property of this size. We want to help build a donor base and target the younger generation to get that philanthropy started.” SAV E w as lo c ate d on Herrontown Road for 74 years before moving to the 10-acre property on Route 601, which the organization raised $3.5 million to buy and improve.

Selection of After School Programs and Activities Includes Choices From Sports to Music and More
I
n the seemingly non-stop age of high tech that surrounds us today, opportunities for “real” face-toface, hand-to-hand, palpable activities are very important. This is especially true for the youngest among us, who so are so often reluctant to look up from their latest
electronic device. Thus — what strategies can be proposed that will appeal to their curiosity and enthusiasm to get them out and about? The opportunities for after school activities, including individual and group
programs, ranging from sports to music and more, are many and varied in the Princeton area. Programs that are engaging, entertaining, and challenging are those most likely to tempt kids away from the myriad of high tech gadgets that appear so irresistible.
Variety of Sports Sports, of course! And, guaranteed to pique their curiosity, spark their interest, and encourage participation is the new Centercourt Club & Sports Center in Lawrence.

tournament, beginners looking to learn a new skill and have fun, and for all those in between. “Lacrosse, field hockey, and ninja warrior training are especially popular at Lawrence,” reports Mr. Leighton. “Our new state-of-the-art facility and its full-time coaching and mentoring staff are featuring exciting and innovative fall programs in boys’ lacrosse, girls’ lacrosse, field hockey, ninja warrior training, and soccer.” The facility also offers strength and conditioning and physical therapy spaces, and future plans include outdoor facilities on the center’s 24-acre campus. Formative Years Mr. Leighton is pleased with the Lawrence location, and is encouraged by the enthusiastic response in the area. “We see that families place a strong emphasis on sports as an outlet for their children’s energy, and focus on the strong attributes that being part of a program, team, or competition can endow in an individual during their formative years.” Currently, participants register for individual programs, he adds, but eventually a membership program will be available. “As we expand our campus, the future of this facility could adopt a European Sports Club model, where the campus is a one-stop for an individual’s or family’s sporting and physical fitness needs.” Making Music In addition to sports, one of the most popular programs for school children
is music. Leaning to play an instrument, joining a band or orchestra, studying voice, or singing in a choir, students experience the unforgettable pleasure of making music. Piano has always been one of the favorite musical choices for kids, and Princeton’s New School for Music Study has a long history of offering exceptional opportunities for piano exploration. Founded in 1960 by Frances Clark and Louise Goss, the school offers lessons and classes for all ages and levels of ability. Currently, 250 students are enrolled, and are instructed by an expert faculty of 15 teachers. “In lessons, students explore a variety of musical genres, as well as performing in a variety of recitals and assessments throughout the year,” explains Rebecca Mergen Pennington, the school’s administrative director. “Students also enjoy building friendships through their group classes, and a common goal of the school is transforming lives through music.” Experienced Pianists Every program of study includes both individual and group lessons, and all members of the faculty are highly educated and experienced pianists, she adds. The programs offered include classes for kindergartners, an elementary program for young beginners, an intermediate/advanced program, as well as lessons for adults at all levels, and the Program for Excellence in Piano Study. Ensuring that the schoolage students enjoy their music lessons and perform to the best of their ability is

frustrations due to the instrument. Is the piano in tuned? Do the pedals work properly?” Beauty and Richness For students interested in other forms of musical expression, many options are available, including discovering the beauty and richness of stringed instruments. Study of the violin, viola, and cello is offered at the Princeton String Academy. With two locations — in Princeton and West Windsor — the academy focuses on classical music, with instruction for children and adults of all ages and abilities.
“Our students are at all levels, from beginners to precollege music conservatory applicants,” explains Lindsay Porter Diehl, the academy’s marketing director. “We have students for many years, who continue with us from elementary school age through high school. We currently have 125 students and five instructors.” Princeton String Academy offers a natural learning environment, where students are encouraged to enjoy the learning experience and reach their potential, she points out. “We use the Suzuki teaching method for our young students. They really enjoy our group or ensemble classes. They play together
in groups and have a fun time socializing, getting to know other students, and playing together in practice and performance. “They also really enjoy our Dalcroze Eurythmic classes that involve singing, rhythm, and movement to the music. Students enjoy performing at our recitals, and get a real sense of accomplishment from moving through our program.” Multiple Recitals Lessons are typically a half-hour, with 45-minute or hour sessions for advanced students. “We have a very high level teaching staff with advanced music degrees and strong performance back-

grounds so that our instruction is at the highest levels,” notes Ms. Diehl. “We offer both the benefits of a small teaching studio and a larger music school, with our varied programs of private lessons, group classes, string quartet instruction, eurythmic classes, master classes with clinicians from the Philadelphia Symphony, competition coaching, and multiple recitals each year. “We also also have an international component of our academy, with a Teacher Training Program in developing countries and Skype instruction.” Students at the academy have had high levels of achievement, including performances in recitals at Carnegie Hall and in master classes with concert violinists and violists. They have received top prizes in local and state competitions, and are regularly selected for state and national youth orchestras. And for all the students, whether it’s with piano, strings, singing, or just enjoying a special musical moment, the opportunities at these schools and academies enable them to begin a lifelong love of music. —Jean Stratton

ntroducing and reinforcing healthy eating habits for students is increasingly a part of many school programs today. Providing healthier choices for school lunches and snacks has become a priority as excessive weight gain is an issue for
numerous students, with its possible risk of accompanying health problems. The Waldorf School of Princeton offers a unique program that provides students with a special way to learn about better nutrition. Its gardening program,

which is part of the school curriculum, has been a significant feature of the school since its beginning. O p e n e d i n 1983, t h e s ch o ol e n rol ls s t u d e nt s f rom bir t h t h rough t h e eighth grade. The garden remains a very important part of the Waldorf experience, explains Jamie Quirk, the school’s admissions and marketing director. “Our gardening program is a key feature of our grade school curriculum, and is often integrated with various academic subjects, such as biology and history. We believe we have the oldest school garden in the Princeton area. Students of all ages help prepare and maintain the garden, plant and harvest a wide variety of crops, and use what they har vest in crafts as well as food preparation. Our school also works with local organizations, such as
“The Lewis School was very supportive of me both as a student and as an athlete. My teachers believed in me all the way. It was a great experience. The Lewis School provided such a special and personalized way of learning that helped me to understand my learning differences and build confidence. The skills I developed at Lewis allowed me to maintain a B average at the University of Southern California, something that I would never have dreamed prior to attending Lewis.”

the Trenton Soup Kitchen and Cornerstone Community Kitchen, donating our produce to nourish those in need.” Garden Curriculum The one-acre organic garden contains eight different sections, including 20 different kinds of vegetables, and 15 species of herbs, as well as native species, flowers, and apple trees. K a l e, as p ar ag u s, g r e e n beans, tomatoes, peppers, corn, strawberries, mint, basil, and broomcorn (for making brooms) are some of the garden specialties. “This is my classroom!” says gardening teacher Suzanne Cunningham. “All the children take part in some way, and the formal garden curriculum starts in the third grade. Each grade has a different commitment, and it is integrated into their studies. For example, they may be studying ancient herbal medicine, and we’ll look at the different herbs.” Even the youngest children participate, helping
to plant seeds and bulbs and caring for the garden. Second graders plant, sow, and transplant. Students in the upper grades each have a gardening class one day a week for an hour and a half. The curriculum includes measuring the garden and plowing with an antique plow, learning how to use hand tools to turn over the soil, weed, and plant. “We have also established a new garden, which includes milkweed and edible berries,” reports Ms. Cunningham. “We are also a butterfly way station (the butterflies eat milkweed) and a certified wildlife habitat. We’re a good place for butterflies and bald eagles, among others.” The students enjoy eating what they harvest from the garden,” adds Ms. Quirk. “‘Gifts from the garden’ appear throughout the students’ snacks, from fresh mint for their tea to herbs and veggies for the pizzas they make, to the ingredients

for freshly made pesto and salsa.” Great Lesson “The kids really do enjoy eating what they plant,” agrees Ms. Cunningham. “This is what they like best. We also create things here that they can take home, including baked goods. We cook over a camp stove.” Not sur pr isingly, t hey don’t care as much for the weeding and maintenance, but as she points out, “This is all good. The kids see the entire process, that it’s real and takes work and time. It’s not instant gratification. The garden is a great lesson for them. They learn how the weather and pests all affect the garden and that some plants don’t live. We don’t use spraying or pesticides, but use manual removal of pests.” Garden activities are essentially year-round, she notes. “Mostly in the fall, they’re fertilizing, and things are still growing from fall into December. We also do some planting in the fall to harvest in the spring, and bulbs are planted in the fall.” Ms. Quirk points out that the Waldorf education is about the development of the “whole child.” “Healthy eating is suppor ted and modeled during the school day, and teachers frequently share resources with parents to educate them further on the important role nutrition plays in fostering an optimal learning environment.” Cooking is a favorite afterschool program, she adds, and there is also a summer camp focusing on garden activities. “In my opinion, a garden at school is the perfect outdoor classroom — a laboratory for exploring a lesson, a place to learn from one’s mistakes, an opportunity to work hard and see the fruits of one’s labor. It’s a space in which to build community, to better understand the land and the living things around us.” In addition, Ms. Cunningham points out that food waste from lunches and snacks is put into the compost, which is then eventually recycled back into the garden. Another intriguing feature of Waldorf’s commitment to our natural world is its “green” roof over the main building, she reports. “This helps with rain water management, provides insulation, and gives us another green space.” Everything about the Waldorf garden is a learning experience, with the added benefit of providing the students with healthy eating options — that they have truly seen emerge and develop from start to finish. Farm-to-School Another school-focused healthy eating program is 47farms.com, operated by Alexander Cardona. Headquartered in Princeton, this is a new farm-to-school program in which Mr. Cardona serves as a liaison between area farmers and schools and other markets. “I work with farmers in the area and help them find customers and markets, including schools,” he explains. “We also arrange to have farmers visit the schools and talk with the students about Continued on Next Page

the farming experience, the far m -to -table cycle, and provide information about healthy eating. The program also allows farmers to post an online profile including their history, products, and offer online orders. “We have found that the educational component is critical because it helps raise awareness of the deeprooted issues with our food system and the impact to our health, while also helping compensate far mers during the off-season, and building relationships with them. If we can successfully connect with the youth, it’s win-win-win for them, their families, and the farmers.” Local Ingredients Mr. Cardona works with farmers in central New Jersey, and he is a member of the Northeast Organic Farming Association. He is currently working with the Princeton Montessori School, connecting it with farmers from the Cherry Valley Co-op, and he serves as chair of the Farm-to-School Committee. Continued on Next Page

“We provide information regarding recipes for healthy foods with local ingredients, and I take pictures of healthy meals, made with local ingredients, that we prepare for our kids. “I also participate in national conferences, such as the Northeast Organic
Farmering Association, and bring back ideas on programs that other schools are doing to initiate healthy lunch programs while nurturing relationships with local farmers. We are also partners with the National Far m -to - School Net work (sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture), where we have access to resources at the national level.
We leverage these resources to enrich our farm-to-school initiatives locally with the Princeton Montessori School, and eventually will expand to other schools.” Mr. Cardona is encouraged with the success of 47farms. com, and sees opportunities for future growth. “As busy parents, we understand the challenge of
finding healthy and convenient meal options for our children. As a result, we introduced our first farm-toschool program in Princeton, and look forward to bringing healthy food options sourced directly from local farmers to more schools.” For f ur t her infor mat ion, v i s it t h e web s ite : www.47farms.com. —Jean Stratton

TIMELESS INTERNATIONAL CLASSICS!
The Hitman’s Bodyguard
Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds Join Forces in Comedy
T
he renowned bodyguard Michael Bryce’s (Ryan Reynolds) services were in great demand until one of his clients, a Japanese tycoon (Tsuwayuki Saotome), was executed. That botched operation simultaneously ruined his professional reputation and his romantic relationship with Interpol agent Amelia (Elodie Yung). His career took such a hit that several years later he was homeless and reduced to chauffeuring clients around in a beat-up jalopy. A chance at redemption — and at winning back Amelia — arrives when she approaches him to protect Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson). He’s the key prosecution witness in the trial at the International Court of Justice of Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman), an Eastern European dictator who is accused of committing genocide. Amelia has discovered that there’s a mole inside of Interpol who has compromised Kincaid’s safety. So, the only hope of getting him to court alive is by hiring someone who is outside the organization. However, Darius is a vicious hit man who has murdered hundreds of people. Despite being disgusted by the assassin’s grisly record, Michael agrees to escort him from
a British prison to The Hague where he’s scheduled to testify in less than 24 hours. In return for his cooperation, Darius’s wife, Sonia (Salma Hayek), will be released from prison where she has been since she slit someone’s throat in a gruesome bar fight. That is the point of departure of The Hitman’s Bodyguard, a comedy directed by Patrick Hill (The Expendables 3). The film unfolds as an action adventure in which the two protagonists are impervious to harm from bullets, explosives, pyrotechnics, or boat and car crashes. However, the movie works because of the palpable screen chemistry generated between Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. And it does help that each of these indestructible characters has been humanized by a love interest. The pair exchange lighthearted barbs while having a close brush with death every other minute as they negotiate their way through an endless gauntlet of assassins. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for graphic violence and pervasive profanity. Running time: 118 minutes. Distributor: Summit Entertainment. —Kam Williams

After Memorable Run to NCAA Final 4 Last Fall, PU Field Hockey Bringing Confidence Into 2017
A
lthough it fell just short of winning its 12th straight Ivy League title, the Princeton University field hockey team didn’t let that disappointment keep it from turning 2016 into a season to remember, producing a stunning run in the NCAA tournament. Getting into the tourney through an at-large bid, Princeton proceeded to advance to the Final 4 where it lost a 3-2 nail-biter in the semifinal to eventual national champion Delaware. In the view of Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente, that late surge is spurring her returning players as the team prepares for the 2017 campaign. “You set your goals but you really don’t know what it feels like or what the experience is like,” said Tagliente, who guided the Tigers to a 12-8 record last fall in her debut season at the helm of the program. “I think having gone through it and now having a number of players in the program having experienced it, the desire is high to be back there. It does help too that it isn’t our first season as a staff.” In Tagliente’s view, the Tigers have an infusion of talent to go with that experience. “We also have a lot more depth than we had last
year in all positions,” said Tagliente, whose team is ranked 8th nationally and opens the season by hosting North Carolina on September 1 before playing at Delaware on September 3. At striker, senior star Ryan McCarthy (14 goals and 5 assists in 2016) should find herself in position to score frequently this fall. “Ryan is looking very good; she had a good summer,” said Tagliente, noting that McCarthy trained with the U.S. national program this summer. “She had a lot of good experiences, we have expanded her game a little bit. We have involved her in penalty corners and she should be a pivotal part of that as well. It will be good because it will give her an opportunity to score from multiple facets of the game.” Junior Sophia Tornetta (9 goals, 10 assists) has the potential to emerge as a pivotal player, healing up after dealing with injuries last fall. “She finally was at full speed at the end of the spring; I had never seen her 100 percent to she what she could do,” said Tagliente, noting that a trio of freshman, Marge Lynch, Emma Street, and Clara Roth could see time at striker along with junior Jane Donio-Enscoe (4 goals, 3 assists), senior Lexi Quirk (3 goals, 2 assists),
and senior Rachel Park (2 goals, 1 assist). “In the spring games against Penn State and Delaware, her impact was pretty clear. She spent a lot of time this summer playing and then focusing on her fitness. She is looking pretty good so far.” Princeton boasts some impact players in midfield in sophomore Krista Hoffman (2 goals, 2 assists), junior Nicole Catalino (1 assist), junior Elise Wong (7 assists), freshman Mary Kate Neff, and freshman Julianna Tornetta. “Our midfield is going to be retooled; Hoffman will get minutes at side midfield; she will also get minutes up front,” said Tagliente. “Catalino is coming back and playing defensive midfield. You might see Sophia Tornetta playing some attack midfield. Her younger sister Julianna will portably primarily play attack midfield. Mary Kate Neff is a powerful, dynamic player, you will see her on the ground a lot, mixing stuff up. You will also see Roth playing side middie and attacking midfield too. Elise Wong played in the midfield and in the back last year. I think she will probably play a more attacking role for us this year at outside midfield, which will be a big change for her and for us.” The Tiger defense will be spearheaded by a pair of
sophomores Maddie Bacskai (2 goals, 3 assists) and sophomore Carlotta van Gierke (2 goals, 7 assists) along with junior Annabeth DonovanDavis, who is returning after a two-year absence from the program. “Maddie and Carlotta played defense last year so they will be back in there a g a i n , ” s a i d Ta g l i e n t e , whose backfield will also include senior Danielle Duseau, sophomore Susan Orth, and senior Sarah Brennan, a former Princeton Day School standout. “Annabeth is back after not playing the last two years. She is working into it. When you haven’t played consistently for two years, it is a lot. She is hanging in there. She is a big voice, a big presence. She organizes really well, sometimes her body is not doing what she wants it to do quite yet but I think she will be super valuable.” Versatile freshman Marge Lynch could emerge as a particularly valuable player for the Tigers. “Marge plays up front and in the back, which is weird combination,” said Tagliente “She has a big hit, she is dynamic and can get on the ground in the circle. I think she will split time equally between both, you will see her on penalty corners a lot.” After serving as the team’s only goalie last fall, sophomore Grace Baylis (2.08 goals against average and .660 save percentage in 2016) returns, getting joined

Senior striker McCarthy, who scored 14 goals last year on the way to earning first-team All-Ivy League honors, should be the go-to finisher for the Tigers this year.

It is very hard if you can never watch someone else do it and you are always the one doing it.” Tagliente believes her team can do very well this fall if it keeps focused on getting better. “The main key for us right now is how quickly can we come together and how we ride out the season,” said Tagliente. “How we look now is not
how we are going to look in November. It is really important that we continue to grow, evolve, and improve. If we stay stagnant and don’t grow through the season, then we won’t get to where we want to go. Taking on national powers No. 1 North Carolina (1-1) and No. 3 Delaware (1-1) on opening weekend should help Princeton see where it needs to grow as a team. “Both teams are beatable but both teams are very strong,” said Tagliente. “It gives us a big opportunity to see where we are at and it gives us an opportunity to boost the confidence of the group as well.” —Bill Alden

For the Princeton University men’s soccer team, homing in on the little things has been the focus of its 2017 preseason training. Noting that Princeton came up winless in six overtime games last fall and that all of its Ivy League games were either ties or decided by one goal on the way to going to 7-7-3 overall and 1-3-3 Ivy, Princeton head coach Jim Barlow knows that the devil is in the details. “We know we are right there with everybody,” said Barlow, whose team opens its season on the road this weekend with games at Syracuse on September 1 and at Colgate on September 3. “We are trying to emphasize the plays that decide games: things like winning second balls, following every shot in on rebounds, not giving away posses sion on throw-ins, gaining possession on the other team’s throw-ins, not getting stretched out, pressing at the right moment and dropping at the right moments, and winning the battles on re-starts.” In order to enjoy a good weekend in New York, the Tigers need to take care of some pressing health issues. “It has been tough this year, we have a lot of injuries,” said Barlow, a 1991 Princeton alum and former Tigers men’s soccer star who is is entering his 22nd season at the helm of his alma mater, having posted an overall record of 162-14553 with four Ivy crowns in his tenure. “We don’t have enough guys to play full sides in training; some guys who we think are going to be pretty important guys have hardly practiced at all. It is a mad
scramble to try to put all of the pieces together.” In Barlow’s view, Princeton has some promising pieces at forward. “Jeremy Colvin (1 assist in 2016) is still an option to play up front; he has played several different positions for us,” said Barlow of the junior. “He wound up doing really well in the spring of his freshman year as a forward but then not having it translate to any goals last year. He scored a goal in our scrimmage and he has been scoring goals in training. Danny Hampton is a sophomore but he took the entire year off last year to have spinal fusion surgery. He is really talented but he has always had a bad back so we are easing him back into things. He has been training hard and working hard to get back. He is a very talented left-footed guy, he is good around the goal.” Other options at forward include senior Harry Heffernan (2 goals, 1 assist), sophomore in Will Lentz (1 goal), sophomore Ben Martin (3 goals, 2 assists), sophomore Sean McGowan, freshman Gaby Paniagua, senior Gaby Joseph, junior Moyin Opeyemi, freshman Jonah Lytle, junior Sean McSherry (3 goals, 3 assists), and senior James Reiner (1 goal, 2 assists). “We have a lot of candidates but it is not clear yet who is going to win those spots,” said Barlow. In the midfield, two spots will be filled by battle-tested veterans. “The seniors who have been on the field all four years are Matt Mangini (5 assists) and Dan Bowkett (3 assists), both of those guys are very talented midfielders,”
BIG BEN: Princeton University men’s soccer player Ben Martin controls the ball in action last fall.

said Barlow, noting that Mangini is serving as a team co-captain along with classmate Reiner. The Tigers boast some other talented players in the midfield. “Sean McSherry is so fast, he could play right midfield or he could play up top,” said Barlow, noting that junior Bryan Prudil (1 goal, 1 assist), sophomore Cole Morokhovich, and senior Michael Chang are in the mix. “Ben Martin was a really good freshman midfielder for us last year. He has been around the goal; he is big and athletic. We have been looking at him a little bit at forward, he might end up there or he might still wind up in the midfield. There are a couple of really talented freshman midfielders, Kevin OToole is one of them and Frankie DeRosa is another.” On defense, Barlow is hoping that the trio of junior Henry Martin (2 goals, 2 assists), sophomore Benji Issroff (1 assist), and sophomore Bobby Hickson will lead the way. “In the spring, we played a three-man back line with Henry as the center back, Benji as left center back and Bobby as the right center back; those three guys did a really good job in the spring,” said Barlow, who believes that freshmen Michael Osei Wusu, Richard Wolf, and O’Toole can help out along the back line. T h e T ig e r s h ave fou r guys in the mix at goalkeeper. “Jacob Schachner is a sophomore; he started some games last year and did quite well,” said Barlow of Schachner who posted a 0.92 goals against average and a .700 save percentage in four appearances in 2016. “We have three other goalies this year. Sam Morton is a freshman from Atlanta who has done well and then there is Jack Roberts, a freshman from Massachuset ts and sophomore Mohamed Abdelhamid. We have a very good, deep goalkeeper group this year.” Barlow believes that Princeton has the camaraderie and talent necessary to be a very good team. “We had the trip to Portugal in the spring that really brought the group together,” said Barlow. “It is a ver y close-knit group. We have balance in that we have strength in each part of the field and leadership in each class. There are a lot of really good pieces there and now it is a matter of getting healthy and getting off to a good start and seeing if we can get into a little bit of a rhythm.” Barlow acknowledges that starting things with the clash at No. 8 Syracuse (20) followed by the matchup against Patriot League foe Colgate (0-2) will require a strong effort by his players. “Syracuse is a really tough test to open the season; it is a great opportunity as well,” said Barlow. “Our guys need to go into the game confident that the product that we can put on the field can win that game and the same on Sunday. Going to two tough places to play and trying to get a couple of results is a great challenge to start the season.” —Bill Alden
With Givens Showing Confident Finishing Touch, PU Women’s Soccer Tops Monmouth 3-0 in Opener Abby Givens displayed flashes of brilliance last fall in her freshman season for the Princeton Universit y women’s soccer team. Getting better as the 2016 season went on, forward Givens ended up tallying three goals and three assists. Hitting the field at Roberts Stadium last Friday evening for the season opener against visiting Monmouth, Givens brought a calmness into the contest with the experience of one college season under her belt. “You know the speed of play a little bit better as a sophomore versus being a freshman,” said Givens, a native of Charlotte, N.C. “It contributes a lot to confidence on the ball.” Looking extremely confident and skilled on the ball, Givens scored two goals to help spark Princeton to a 3-0 win over the Hawks. The Tigers came out flying against the Hawks, outshooting their in-state rival 10-2 in the first half. “I think we came out with the mentality at the start that this was going to set the tone for the rest of our season,” said Givens. “We were going to come 110 percent. At times, we were not s et t ling dow n enough but we took it to them from start to finish.” Despite dominating possession, Princeton found itself knotted in a scoreless tie until Tiger senior defender Natalie Larkin broke the ice by scoring with 16:40 left in that half. “Natalie will run forever and ever; she will be just as effective in the defensive third as she will be in the attacking third,” said Givens. “Her goal definitely settled us down a little bit; it allowed us to start playing our game.” Givens helped the Tigers seize control of the game, dribbling through the Monmouth defense in the box and skipping the ball past the Hawks goalie Amanda Knaub to make it 2-0 with 1:15 remaining in the half. “That was a lot of luck, that is what it was,” said Givens, reflecting on her initial tally. “That wasn’t the best of goals but it went into the back of the net so at the end of the day, it is a goal.” At intermission, the Tiger coaches beseeched their players to not let up despite the two-goal cushion. “Our coach [Sean Driscoll] said with a 2-0 lead, the next goal determines whether they are coming back into the game or if we are putting them away for good,” said Givens. “The message at halftime was don’t stop.” Givens got that next goal, knocking in a feed from Larkin with 20:47 remaining in regulation as Princeton extended its lead to 3-0. “ I t w a s M i m i A s o m’s cheeky back heel and perfect service that just happened,” recalled Givens. “It was a lot of work from the team.” Stepping into the striker role held by graduated star Tyler Lussi, the program’s all-time leading scorer who is now playing for the Portland Thorns of the national Women’s Soccer League
(NWSL), Givens is developing a partnership with junior standout Asom. “Mimi is an easy player to play with, she makes things happen,” said Givens, who kept up her hot start, tallying a goal as Princeton defeated Villanova 2-0 last Sunday. “It is very easy to work with her up top and with Courtney [O’Brien], Tomi [Kennedy] and Vanessa [Gregoire] as well. We have a heck of an attacking group.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Sean Driscoll liked the way his team attacked at both ends of the field from the opening whistle. “The mentality was to play high pressure the entirety of the game and put them under duress,” said Driscoll. “The kids were so excited to play anyway. It is opening night, there is always pent-up excitement. It was the best way to go. I thought we did a really good job as a group defending. We didn’t allow too many chances, particularly in the first half. We did a really good job of winning the ball high up the field and creating some chances of our own. It was a really positive first step for us.” Driscoll was not surprised to see Givens step up individually. “Abby is a special player; she started picking up late in the season last year,” said Driscoll. “We have seen it throughout the spring and pre season: she has a knack for scoring goals. She has a lot of components. She is fast, she is athletic, she has very good skills, she is very
composed in front of goal, and has a nose for the goal. When you have those things, you can be successful.” Senior star Larkin also gives the Tigers a lot. “Natalie is the epitome of work rate and what we stand for,” asserted Driscoll. “She is tireless and did a great job as an attacking wide back getting a goal when we were struggling to score. We created some chances but couldn’t find the back of the net. In that moment, she kind of changed everything for us.” In Driscoll’s view, he got good work from all 18 players who got into the opener. “Our hope is to play as many kids as we can to keep spirits as high as we can,” said Driscoll, whose team will look to keep on the winning track as it plays at 21st-ranked North Carolina State (3-0) on September 1 and at Wake Forest (4-0) on September 3. “I thought all the kids that set foot on the field tonight gave us something. The depth is critical and that is what we are trying to hammer home to the team. Some players may be playing a little bit less than in the past in the best interests of the overall group.” Givens, for her part, is confident that the Tigers will keep producing spirited efforts. “We have just got to keep the mentality up and the work rate up,” said Givens. “We are a very deep team from top to bottom. Everyone can run, everyone can play and everybody is confident on the ball. It is going to be really great to see how we all step up and contribute to this team’s success.” —Bill Alden

PU Sports Roundup
PU Swimming Alum Lennox Returning to Alma Mater
Former Princeton University men’s swimming standout Doug Lennox ’09, a 2008 Beijing Olympian and one of the most decorated swimmers in program history, is returning to Princeton to serve as assistant coach for the upcoming season. He replaces Michael Joyce, who joined the Arizona State coaching staff to work under Bob Bowman — Michael Phelps’ longtime coach. Lennox, who currently owns four program records from his historic 2009 season, comes to Princeton af ter assistant coaching positions at both Kenyon College (2014-17) and New York University (2013-14). Lennox, who placed in the Top 40 in seven events during both the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2009 Rome World Championships competing for Puerto Rico, is coming off a memorable 2017 season at Kenyon College, where he helped the men’s team place second at NCAAs, while the women’s team placed third. During his three years in Ohio, Kenyon achieved the highest levels of success both in and out of the water; not only did each team finish within the Top 4 at NCAAs each year — including a 2015 men’s team title — but Kenyon swimmers combined to break 35 varsity records while also earning 85 CSCAA Academic All-America honors and 11 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships.

A five-time All-American and two-time Academic AllAmerican at Princeton, Lennox helped lead the Tigers to three Ivy League championships, as well as two Top-25 finishes at the NCAA Championships. A senior captain, Lennox had two Top-10 individual finishes at the 2009 NCAA Championships, including a fourth-place finish in the 200 butterfly — that remains the highest Princeton male finish at NCAAs this century. Lennox earned the highest honor given to a male Princeton senior studentathlete, the William Winston Roper Trophy. He graduated from Princeton in 2009 with a degree in anthropology, and he earned his master’s of science in teaching at Hunter College in 2012. ———
PU Men’s Hockey Alum Rankin Signs with ECHL Team
Former Princeton University men’s hockey standout Kyle Rankin ’16 has agreed to terms with the Orlando Solar Bears of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) for the 2017-18 season. Rankin spent his first full season playing w ith the now-defunct Elmira Jackals in 2016-17.

Rankin signed with Brampton Beast after his Princeton playing career was complete in 2016. “I am extremely excited to be joining the Solar Bears this season,” said Rankin. “Orlando has consistently excelled both on and off the ice, and I am thrilled to be a part of the culture
the team has developed.” A 6’1, 200-pound native of Kanata, Ontario, Rankin played in 117 career games as a Tiger scoring 10 goals and 21 assists. A three-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic honoree, Rankin graduated with a degree in history. He was team captain in 201516, and an assistant captain in 2014-15. ———

They posted a 13-4-1 overall record and hosted an NCAA first round game for the second straight season. The 2014 squad finished the season on a nine-game unbeaten streak (8-0-1) to capture a share of the Ivy League championship but didn’t receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

TOUGH TEXAN: Mike Catapano catches his breath between plays during his career with the Princeton University football team. Catapano, the 2012 Bushnell Cup recipient as the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and a 2013 NFL Draft selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, was signed last week by the Houston Texans of the NFL. Catapano joins his third NFL roster since an All-America senior season at Princeton in 2012. He played 15 games for the Kansas City Chiefs as a rookie in 2013, but missed the entire 2014 season due to an illness. He moved on to the New York Jets, where he played 14 games over two seasons before being placed on injured reserve late last season. Catapano, who earned four starts with the Jets in 2016, has recorded 11 tackles and two sacks during his NFL career. Catapano joins former teammates Caraun Reid and Seth DeValve on current NFL rosters. Reid is a defensive lineman with the Los Angeles Chargers while DeValve is playing tight end for the Cleveland Browns.

Entering the 2014 season, the Princeton High football team had a chip on its shoulder. Coming off a 0-10 season the year before, the players were hungry to prove that they could get back in the win column. Beginning with a 28-7 opening day win over Hamilton, the Little Tigers made their point, getting off to a 5-0 start on the way to an 8-2 record and a trip to the state playoffs. With his 2017 squad looking to rebound from a 1-9 campaign last fall, PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher sees parallels to the 2014 team. “I am really high on this team; we have had a great preseason,” said Gallagher, whose team kicks off its 2017 campaign by hosting Hamilton on September 2. “We have some really great players that have been working hard all the way back to March 6 when we started taking attendance for weight room training. It is a little reminiscent of the 2014 team. That was a special group of kids and I think we have another special group. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot between now and November and there are a lot of conversations. In the end, the players have to show up. I am excited for them, I think this is a good group of kids that will show up on game day.” Gallagher’s confidence stems, in part, from the return of a number of battletested veteran players. “We have a good group of seniors with a lot of experience and we have a good slew of juniors that took their lumps last year as sophomores,” said Gallagher. “That will hopefully pay dividends for us throughout the season.” One of the team’s key seniors is quarterback Vince Doran, who threw 16 touchdown passes last fall in his first season as the starting signal caller.
“Vince has had a great camp, he is a good athlete out there for us,” said Gallagher. “He can move the ball with is arm and his legs so we will ask him to do a little bit of both. He is up for the challenge, I know he is excited to get back out there.” PHS faces some challenges in its ground game as it will be going with some new faces with junior Evan Angelucci carrying the load. “It is running back by committee right now,” said Gallagher, noting that senior stalwart Henry Garcia-Guzman is currently sidelined by an injury. “Evan is a very good football player. He is another player with a great jump cut and great vision. We are excited for him as well.” Junior receiver Isaac Webb enjoyed a superb debut season last fall and is poised for a great fall. “Isaac Webb is going to be a real standout guy for us, he is a good football player,” said Gallagher. “He can play at the next level, there is no doubt. He has the size and the speed; that is what coaches at the next level look for.” In addition to Webb, PHS boasts several options at receiver. “We are going to have junior Steven Hennessy; he is a real good athlete for us,” added Gallagher. “Tyler Komis, a junior, is doing a nice job and then we have two sophomores, Jay Jackson and Judd Petrone, whom we are going to expect some big things from. Will Smith is going to be a nice receiver for us, he got some reps last year as a junior. They are just having an excellent camp; I have seen some really good work.” Gallagher is expecting some really good things from his offensive line. “I think the line is our strength right now; you always have to start there,” said Gallagher.

“The line is going to anchor us. We are going to do as well as our offensive line does this year.” Junior Jaylen Johnson has emerged as a strong performer in the trenches for the Little Tigers. “Jaylen played some center for us last year in four or five games,” said Gallagher. “He is about 6’3, 275 pounds and he can move pretty well. He is in the middle of the line, anchoring things. He will do a nice job for us.” PHS feat ures veterans across the line in senior Marqui McBride, junior Joe Feldman, senior Finn Kaiser, and senior Adam Musa. “Marqui McBride is one of the guards; he has been a three-year guy for us and is another hardworking kid who is going to be a standout football player,” said Gallagher. “He is going to be hard to handle he is going to cause a lot of teams fits because he is a mauler. He is a big kid and he does a nice job. Joe Feldman is the other guard, who has looked good in preseason and did a great job in the off season. At tackles are two more veterans; Finn Kaiser is coming back at left tackle and Adam Musa is coming back at right tackle. They did an excellent job last year and I think they are ten times better this year.” The defensive line could be hard to handle as well, led by a trio of promising players. “Our defensive line right now looks like it is going to be Tommy Tenzlinger, a junior, at one end and Connor Coffee, another junior, at the other end,” said Gallagher.
“Anchoring the middle will be a senior Takahi Carter, he is looking good for us too. We are running a 3-4 this year, we are switching our defense so we are excited about that.” Senior Moses Mahiri and junior Jack Staples will be anchoring the team’s linebacking corps. “One of the guys coming back is Moses Mahiri; another kid Jack Staples is doing a nice job, he really understands the defense,” said Gallagher. “We are going to have some players filling in and we will have a couple of players going both ways.” In the defensive backfield, some two-way players will
be leading the way. “We have a couple of familiar faces; we will have Isaac in there and Will Smith will be playing some defense for us,” said Gallagher, noting that a quartet of juniors Daunte Bess, Doug Avis, Ryan Benattar, and Tyler DeLalinde are also in the mix in the secondary. In order to get back on the winning track, the Little Tigers need to be fundamentally sound on both sides of the ball. “Without a doubt, it all starts with the line,” said Gallagher. “Vince threw for a lot of yards last year so we have to rack up those yards again this season. Hopefully our defense will bend
but won’t break. We will be an aggressive defense. You have got to get those turnovers and you have to limit the turnovers on the offensive side of the ball. That hurt us last year.” Gallagher is hoping that PHS can emulate the 2014 squad and get off to a good start when it hosts Hamilton in the opener. “It is a great test, we have a lot of respect for their coach [Tom Hoglen],” said Gallagher. “We have played them twice in my tenure and we have had two really good, close games. They always have good players, they usually have a lot of depth.” —Bill Alden

After Enduring Disappointing 1-9 Season in 2016, PHS Football Hungry to Regain Winning Feeling
TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, AuguST 30, 2017 • 34
Encouraged by Strong Finish Last Year, PHS Girls’ Soccer Primed to Take Next Step Going with a bevy of new faces last fall due to some heavy graduation losses, the Princeton High girls’ soccer struggled in the early going as it got off to a 0-3 start. But with the youth movem e nt e ve nt u a l ly p ay i ng dividends, PHS went 11-5 the rest of the fall, winning games in both the Mercer Count y Tour nament and Central Jersey Group 4 sectional. As the Little Tigers have hit the field this year to prepare for the 2017 campaign, they are looking to build on last year’s strong finish. “The core of our team came back really ready to go,” said PHS head coach Val Rodriguez, whose team opens its 2017 season by playing at Manalapan on September 5. “I think the team chemistry and the confidence is stronger. Last year coming in, losing so many seniors from the year before, everybody was really hesitant. We ended on a pretty decent
high and that has helped us move into this season. We have a large group of seniors this year so there is a lot of leadership. There are a lot of veterans who lead the pack for everybody.” Two of those seniors, Devon Lis and Colette Marciano, figure to form a potent one-two punch in the midfield for the Little Tigers. “Devon and Colette are attacking center mids and they are definitely highlights of the team for sure,” said Rodriguez, noting that Lis is committed to attend and play at Georgetown while Marciano is headed to Columbia to compete for its soccer program. “They are both going to be moving into the attack a lot more this year. They are my senior captains. They are just very committed soccer players, very knowledgeable and very tricky. I think that they are going to be really productive for us this year. They can have a great season.”

Rodriguez believes that junior Shannon Romaine can give Lis and Marciano support in the middle of the field. “Shannon is going to be a holding center midfielder,” added Rodriguez, who also has sophomore Molly Frain in the midfield. “She got a lot of time last year. We moved her around a lot but she is definitely going to find a home in center midfield for us.” Another junior, Camille Franklin, has found a home up top at forward for PHS. “Camille is a new girl. She moved here from Tennessee, she is going to be a name to look out for,” said Rodriguez, whose corps of forwards includes senior Isabella Giglio, senior Isabella Stier, junior Hannah Colaizzo, senior Kristina Miers, sophomore Morgan Beamer, senior Lauren Woodbury, and sophomore Kirin Kunukkasseril. “We have a lot of options to run up top. We have some seniors, juniors, and sophomores; everyone is going to rotate through the mix.” Seniors Abaigeal Ryan and Gracia DiBianco along with sophomore Lauren Rougas are spearheading the PHS back line. “Ryan does a really great job for us; this is her third year on varsity and she is a really shut down defender for us,” said Rodriguez, whose defensive unit also includes junior Kathryn DeMilt, junior Julia Thomson, senior Kelly Bowen, senior Joslen Beslity, and senior Sabine Waldeck. “DiBianco is a really good mark out defender but what I am hoping she can do more this year is find herself in the attack and come out of the back a little bit. Lauren Rougas is back; she is going to be a really good one to look our for. She is a real athlete — she plays lacrosse also, but soccer is her sport and she is going to be in the back.” At goalkeeper, sopho mores Shaylah Marciano and Caroline Ealy give the Little Tigers skill and depth. “I have two sophomore goalies who are very strong,” said Rodriguez. “They are competitive and they both train hard.” In the view of Rodriguez, PHS possesses the firepower to be very competitive this fall. “We have a good core of our defense coming back,” said Rodriguez. “We have an extremely strong midfield and I think that is going to show really, really well on our attack. We have some of the pieces on our attack solved. We are more excited on the goal scoring end this year than we were last season.” —Bill Alden
Following in Footsteps of Local Standouts, PHS Alum Ratzan Joining Tufts Men’s Soccer Helped by a pipeline of Princeton area players, the Tufts University men’s soccer team has ascended to the top of Division III soccer. With contributions from Rui Pinheiro and Maxime Hoppenot of Princeton Day School, former Princeton High stars Zach Halliday and Kevin Halliday, along with Peter Lee-Kramer, a Princeton native who played his high school soccer at Phillips Andover, Tufts won the NCAA Division III national title in both 2014 and 2016. Now, recently graduated PHS boys’ soccer standout Alex Ratzan is looking to continue that tradition as he has matriculated to Tufts and is starting preseason training with the Jumbos this week. For Ratzan, getting promoted to the PHS varsity late in his freshman season helped put him on the path to college soccer. “I played a full season of freshman soccer and then at the end of the season, I got called up and played varsity,” said Ratzan. “That was the highest level of soccer I had ever played at that moment. It gave me the opportunity to really develop my skills. After that, I participated in an academy program in England for a week and then I moved to a higher level club team.” By senior year, Ratzan was a star midfielder and a cocaptain of the Little Tigers along with classmate Andrew Goldsmith. “You are play ing w ith your classmates and your teammates,” said Ratzan, who helped PHS share the Mercer County Tournament crown with Pennington last fall as it posted a 17-1-2 final record. “You grow closer that way so a big part of it is leadership. Andrew and I felt like we had a big role our senior year. We wanted to score as many goals as possible and do whatever we could to help the team win while also teaching the younger players.” After considering a number of Ivy League and top Division III programs as he looked for a team to join at the next level, Ratzan narrowed his search to three schools. “It came down to Yale, Johns Hopkins, and Tufts;
all of which were willing to give me a roster spot with different levels of support based on the school,” said Ratzan. “When I had my final three, I was getting a lot of advice from other people. Coming from Princeton High, I have been very fortunate to have academic opportunities and that helped so much.” The influence of the Halliday bothers and their family helped steer Ratzan to Tufts. “I talked to both of them on the phone and their parents,” said Ratzan. “It just came down to the kind of people on the teams and how the school part played into it.” In order to get ready for college soccer, Ratzan starting training with the MatchFit club right after PHS was knocked out of the state sectional tournament last November. “A week or so later I was back on the field with another team and it was very helpful for me,” said Ratzan. “It was a great coaching staff there, it allowed me to play and really improve. There are over 20 committed college soccer players in the Class of 2017. I was
competing with high level kids and coaches that knew what would help me play at the next level as well.” With the Tufts preseason slated to start on August 28, Ratzan was chomping at the bit to get on the field with his new teammates. “I am overwhelmingly excited to be playing at the next level,” said Ratzan, noting that the Jumbos were voted No. 1 nationally in the Division III preseason poll. “I have done everything I can to be in the best shape, physically, technically, and mentally. It is definitely going to be a step up, no matter what I do.” Realizing that he is joining a powerhouse, Ratzan is ready to assume a supporting role at the outset. “We are graduating five or six guys and we are bringing in eight, it is a very strong class,” said Ratzan. “I am trying to play forward or outside mid. They have very strong outside mids and forwards but there is room. The NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) is a league where there is so much running at every position. There is a lot of subbing so if I can be a guy that can play for 20 minute spans at a time, that would be great for me.” —Bill Alden

As Haley Bodden developed into a star for the Princeton High girls’ soccer team, she set her sights on playing for a Division I program at the next level. But when that ambition wasn’t realized, Bodden visited The College of New Jersey, a Division III power, in the summer after her junior year at PHS and realized she didn’t need to leave Mercer County to enjoy a positive college soccer experience. “I just thought about it and decided I would be happier,” said Bodden. “I am close to home and the team seemed
to be a good fit for me. It is not like D-I, which is very intense. It is in between because we are a good D-III team. I guess everything happens for a reason because I love playing D-III now.” But when Bodden hit the field for the preseason practices last August with the Lions, things didn’t seem quite right. “I started getting sick in the second week of preseason and I didn’t know what was wrong with me,” said Bodden. “I thought it was just an

adjustment to college. I was sick all season. I didn’t know what it was until after the season ended when I found out it was mono.” Playing through illness, Bodden still had a memorable freshman season, starting with an early season clash against Johns Hopkins last September. “Hopkins was a very intense game because they were very good,” said Bodden. “We didn’t win but getting in the game was amazing. I didn’t play that long; it was just exciting to be on the field with such good players and the crowd and everything. It was different than high school, I liked it more.” One of the most exciting moments for Bodden came when she scored her first college goal in a 7-0 win over William Paterson in mid-September. “It was great to score, it was honestly amazing,” said Bodden. “As a freshman scoring, everyone was cheering me on.” As her freshman season went on, Bodden developed a more sophisticated approach to the game. “I played defensive center mid, it gave me a chance to see the field as a whole and make more plays,” said Bodden, who ended up with four goals in 17 appearances. “The coaches always stress how if the defense plays to the forwards, I have to be right there underneath them and support them so they can just play the way they are facing instead of having to turn on the defender. If they play to me, I can switch the field or I can play another forward through.” After sitting out most of the team’s spring training in the wake of the mono diagnosis, Bodden has thrown herself into a rigorous training regimen this summer. “I have been training every day; I have been working out every day,” said Bodden, who did some workouts with her Princeton Soccer Association club team. “My TCNJ team had capt a i ns prac t ice s b ec aus e everyone lives so close so we do that Mondays and Wednesdays. I was able to play two times a week and then I was working out on my own, doing sprints or running. I also did Orangetheory, which is a workout class. There are 25 minutes on the treadmill which is good for soccer and then we will do 25-30 minutes on the floor with weights and stuff and end with ergometer work. It is a little bit of everything.” L ook ing ahead to her sophomore campaign,
Bodden knows that nothing is guaranteed. “I need to step up and I need to stay healthy,” said Bodden. “There are a lot of players coming in, like 15, so coach [Joe] Russo has to make cuts, which is very nerve-wracking for everyone. I am not really safe, I have to prove myself.” With TCNJ having gone 17-1-2 last season but falling to Brandeis on penalty kicks in the second round of the NCAA tournament, Bodden and her teammates are looking to prove themselves as bona fide national title contenders. “We want to make it far in the NCAAs; winning a national championship would be amazing,” said Bodden. “It is a tough road but it is so worth it; college soccer is a lot different than high school soccer. I am glad I stuck with it because it is a big part of my life. It was the right choice for me.” —Bill Alden

All of the rooms are generous in size, with many windows, architectural features and beautiful views. Combining a classic colonial with the luxuries of today is not easy--but the owners have done this with style and grace, adding a knock-your socks -off cathedral ceiling Great Room having walls of windows and custom built-ins. Random width pegged floors, window seats, and lots of shelves for books or treasures will make this one of your favorite rooms, and the Juliet balcony above is another visual treat. The first floor master bedroom with sybaritic bath is as good as it gets. Chef’s kitchen has every bell and whistle – watch out Bobby Flay! $1,475,000

Living in a Volcano •Do your trees lack flare, do they look like tele phone poles going into the ground? •Your trees and shrubs should have exposed root flare above ground level. •Excess mulching can lead to girdling roots, oxygen and water reduction to the root system, insect and disease pests, and overall stress and decline of plant material. What can I do if my trees have been “living in a volcano”? •Excess soils and mulch should be removed from the base of trees exposing the natural root flare. •However, this must be done carefully so as not to damage the root system. •If your tree is “trapped” in a mulched volcano it should not be removed all at once as this may further damage your already stressed tree. •Very often these conditions can be improved or reversed with the use of an Air-Spade. •Woodwinds Professional Arborists use specialized pneumatic Air-Spades to remove the soil with the least amount of root damage. •Start six inches from the tree trunk at ground level and mulch outward to the edge of the dripline to a maximum depth of two inches to four inches. •Keep a two-inch to fourinch layer around, but not touching the base of the tree. Mulch as much of the area under a tree as possible without having mulch touch the trunk. •Never pile up a cone of mulch around the tree trunk! Mice, insects, and fungus may hide next to the trunk and feed on parts of the tree. The cone-shaped mulch piles and thick layers of mulch also prevent water from reaching a tree’s roots. Tree roots that grow up into the cone of mulch on top of the soil cannot be healthy. What can I do if my trees have been mounded up for several years? Call WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500 for a “Lightning Risk Assessment.” Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, “What! You too? I thought I was the only one!”- C. S. Lewis
