Last Wednesday, September 8, the Rev. Robert Moore, executive director of the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) for the past 40 years, was working in his Witherspoon Street office when Princeton Councilmember David Cohen, along with five of Moore’s CFPA colleagues, paid him a surprise visit. September 8, 2021 is “Reverend Robert Moore Day” in Princeton, Cohen announced, as he read out loud a Princeton Town Council Municipal Resolution in Moore’s honor. The resolution — citing Moore’s four decades of leadership in working with the CFPA to abolish nuclear weapons, end endless wars, prevent gun violence, and combat growing militarism and the climate crisis — was formally passed by the full Council at their Monday, September 13, meeting. In September 1980 a group of Princeton-area faith leaders, concerned about the escalating nuclear arms race, founded what would become the CFPA, and on September 8 of the following year they hired Moore to lead the organization. Under his leadership the CFPA has expanded to become a regional office serving central and south New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. It is one of the largest grassroots affiliates of National Peace Action, with over 7,500 member and supporting households. “Rev. Bob Moore has been a superb team leader who has been a major factor in CFPA being widely recognized as one of the most respected and effective grassroots peace groups in the country,” said Irene Goldman, longtime organizational leader and CFPA board chair since 2004. “We are fortunate to have his leadership continue as he reaches his 40th anniversary as executive director.” In a September 10 phone interview, Moore reflected on the accomplishments of the past 40 years and on the urgent work ahead. He spoke proudly of the CFPA’s reliance on “the classic means of democracy,” mobilizing people to make their voices heard in a variety of ways. “Democracy is achingly slow a lot of times, but for those people who will stay with an ongoing, organized effort like the one we offer through the CFPA, if you hang in, over time democracy does work,” he said. “You just have to be really persistent — and smart.” Continued on Page 12

COVID Numbers Rise to January 2021 Levels The Princeton Health Department on Monday reported 23 new cases of COVID-19 in the previous seven days, 42 new cases in the previous 14 days in Princeton, as infection levels continue to increase. All 21 New Jersey counties are now listed as having high rates of COVID transmission, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The statewide transmission rate is currently 1.01, with any number over 1 indicating that each new case is causing more than one additional case and that the outbreak is expanding. The CDC is recommending that people in all counties in the state wear masks in indoor public settings, regardless of vaccination status. “COVID-19 cases have been rising in the Princeton community to a level we observed in January 2021, approximately 3.25 new cases per day,” said Princeton Public Health Officer Jeff Grosser. Attributing much of the problem to the Delta variant, Grosser noted that the United States is averaging 152,000 cases each day, close to four times the levels reported at this time last year. “Delta continues to circulate throughout the community, and public health has shared the devastating impact it has had in communi-

ties with lower vaccination rates across all demographics, particularly those 65 years and older.” Grosser noted that the current surge is different from the surge of last fall and winter with transmission occurring more readily now. He added, “The vaccine has absolutely helped, and those who still get COVID-19 are likely to have milder, shorter illnesses and appear to be less likely to spread the virus to others.” Six Princeton residents, with an average

age of 85, have been hospitalized recently in vaccine breakthrough cases, Grosser reported. He urged people to “be aware of what the current guidance is; how to prevent transmission; how to protect ourselves, our families, our friends, our neighbors.” As schools get underway in person for the fall term, with mask mandates for all and vaccine or frequent testing requirements for faculty and staff, Grosser Continued on Page 8

BOE Candidate Profile: Mara Franceschi, Financial Analyst, PTO President at JP Two incumbents, Betsy Baglio and Brian McDonald, and two new candidates, Mara Franceschi and Jeffrey Liao, will be competing in the November 2 election for three available seats on the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE). The top three vote-getters will win three-year terms on the BOE, beginning in January 2022. With just seven weeks until election day, Town Topics is beginning a series of weekly candidate profiles in which the candidates will present a summary of their personal, academic, and profes-

sional backgrounds; why they got involved in the schools and in this particular election; and what their priorities are for the future of the PPS. Mara Franceschi is leading off: “I consider few things more important than a high-quality public education for ALL our children. With a new superintendent and other key personnel, it is an exciting time in our district. However, the district must also navigate many challenges to ensure continued success. Chief among those challenges is balancing Continued on Page 8

I have been doing it ever since.” Having begun her career as a teacher, LoBiondo was familiar w ith folk tales. “They originally weren’t children’s stories,” she said. “They were told inter-generationally. I find that you take from the story what you need for wherever you are. A child and a teenager and an adult and grandparents will think about different things. I am a vehicle for these stories. I find, again and again, the listeners who create the stories in their minds with me take what they need from the story. It’s an ephemeral moment we all create together. That communal aspect is wonderful, and we don’t have many of those any more.” Along with Weidener and LoBiondo, featured festival tellers w ill include Ken Karnas, Ken Galipeau, Judy England-McCar thy, G.K. Jayaram, Mike Agranoff, and Joey Nov ick. Stor y titles include “The Ballad of Captain Crunch,” Summer Re ad i n g,” “ T h e C or p s e Watchers,” and “Beaver Tail Lighthouse.” Admission to the festival is free. “It’s for everyone. It’s not a little kid thing,” Weidener said. “Everyone can learn and enjoy something.” For more information, visit njstorynet.org/storytellingevents. — Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“Where were you and what were you doing when you first learned about the 9/11 attacks?” (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

“I was on my way to work that morning on the Long Island Expressway. Obviously like most people, I was in shock. I am a deacon in the Catholic Church and suspended my work for that day and went back to the parish and we began to work on a plan for how we were going to handle the outreaches that were sure to come.” —Deacon Frank Crivello, Skillman

Ed: “I was working at Constitution Hill. The people we were working for came out and told us what was happening, so I left my crew there and went over to Princeton Hook and Ladder on Harrison Street and stood by pretty much all day.” Jim: “I was driving to work and heard it on the radio. I thought at first it was just a tourist plane that went into the World Trade Center. When I learned about the second plane crashing, it was just devastating.” —Ed Moyer, Ewing with Jim Simon, Princeton

Bobby: “I was a senior in high school and was in English class and received a dispatch on my fire pager that we were all crewing up at the fire station to get ready to start supporting and helping out the best we could. So, I jumped out of class and was met at the station by my parents, both of whom got called out of work, and we all stayed and loaded up the trucks all day for people who were headed to Ground Zero.” Ken: “We were on a job site in the city of Trenton and saw jets flying overhead and heard people screaming. So, we went to a television to see what was happening, and just could not believe that this could happen.” —Bobby Jones, Ewing with Ken Stoveken, Hopewell

Kaley: “I was 3 years old and in preschool. My dad had to come pick me up and we went home and talked about what was happening and made sure everyone was safe and thank God that was the case. I definitely don’t remember everything because of my age, but memories have always stayed with me.” Ronit: “I had just dropped off my youngest daughter at nursery school, and I was there in the office when they announced a plane had hit. I remember taking my daughter right away to pick up our other two children and going straight home to learn more about what was happening.” Lori: “I was in my office working in Princeton and my team started coming to tell me that the news was on. My husband called and we ran and picked up Kaley and went home and were glued to the television and just stuck together and kept everyone who was going to perish or be affected by this in our thoughts.” —Kaley Bohling, West Windsor with Ronit James and Lori Bohling, Princeton Junction

acknowledged the challenges ahead in seeking to keep children and adults safe and in school. “Schools have been really te s te d t h r o u g h o u t t h i s pandemic,” he said. “There is no question about that.” He refer red to the new g uidance from t he New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and the CDC, along with the governor’s Executive Order 251 requiring masks. “ W hat’s d if ferent t h is school year versus last is the presence of the highly transmissible Delta variant combined with mandatory inperson learning, which puts additional students and staff into enclosed spaces,” he said, noting health officials’ recommendation of outdoor activities (lunch, classes, snacks). T he P r i nce ton He a lt h D ep ar t m e nt is s t rongly supported by school nurses in continuing to closely monitor K-12 schools and all pediatric cases in town. “Princeton is fortunate to have an unbelievable school nursing team throughout the K-12 schools,” Grosser said. “The school nurses are the ones we as a department rely on so heav ily in times of contact tracing, case investigations, and communication with teachers and administration.” Grosser emphasized the impor tance of in-person l e a r n i n g t o c h i l d r e n’s academic and social development. “I think we have all learned a lot since last year between hybrid and remote learning,” he said. “There was a significant

cost to our community, and particularly our children. Our goal is to make the return to in-person learning as safe as possible in the pandemic.” The health department will be continuing vaccine clinics throughout the fall. Booster third doses have become a subject of controversy among health officials at the national level, but Grosser noted that the Princeton Health Department plans to have third doses, recommended six to eight months after full vaccination, available for the general public, beginning September 20. COVID-19 vaccinations for the 5-11 age group are expected to be approved by the end of the year, Grosser added. Princeton University free walk-in vaccine clinics will continue to be offered to the general public in Jadwin Gym on Wednesday afternoons, September 15, 22, and 29, from 1 to 4 p.m. T h e P r i n ce ton H e a lt h Department is sponsoring free walk-in COVID-19 and inf luenza vaccine clinics on September 30 at the Princeton Farmers Market at 46-80 Franklin Avenue from 10 a.m. to noon; on October 4 at Witherspoon H a l l, 4 0 0 Wi t h e r s p o o n Street, from 3-6 p.m.; on October 19 at the Princeton Senior Resource Center, 45 Stockton Street, from 12 - 6 p.m. ; on O c tob e r 22 at La Mexicana, 150 Witherspoon Street, from 5-9 p.m.; on October 26 at the Princeton Public Library, 65 Witherspoon Street, from 5-7 p.m.; and on November 9 at Witherspoon Hall from 12 to 2 p.m. —Donald Gilpin

aging facilities against a backdrop of increasing student enrollment and budget stressors. Maintaining our facilities is both an investment in valuable hard assets and the minimum required to provide a clean and healthy learning environment for our children. Successfully balancing critical, necessary investments in our schools, while keeping tax increases to a minimum, is essential. To address these challenges, I believe that transparent communication with, and among, all the stakeholders in the community is paramount.

Mara Franceschi “In 2010, my husband Gaetano and I moved to Princeton for the excellent public schools and opportunities they would provide our three children — Max (17), Nico (15), and Bella (12). In the ensuing years, our love for Princeton and its schools has only grown. Our children have attended Johnson Park Elementary School, Princeton Middle School, and now Princeton High School. Our oldest is enrolled in an out-of-

state independent school. We firmly believe in school choice and finding the right learning environment for each individual child. “Since moving to Princeton, I have volunteered extensively in the schools, most recently on the PTO Council and most broadly, on the Johnson Park PTO as treasurer for four years and then president for three years. I believe a strong parent-teacher relationship enriches the education process for all children, and I have dedicated myself to building that strong connection. I also served on Princeton’s Citizens Finance Advisory Committee, as assistant treasurer for the Friends of the Library, and I continue to volunteer with many other nonprofits in town. As an active volunteer in our schools and community, I strive to give back as much as this community has given my family. “I believe t hat public schools should be an inclusive and welcoming place for all. I have been the new person in a school or city many times in my life. At the age of 8, my family relocated to North Carolina where I went on to complete public high school and attend college. Even at the age of 50, I have never forgotten what it was like to move during elementary school, with a mother who is German, to a place very culturally different from anything I had ever experienced. As a result, I embrace learning about new cultures and continued to move often, living in three different states and four different countries, before settling in Princeton to raise my children. Moving taught me to have an appreciation

for different perspectives and to welcome the new person in the room. It is a perspective I cherish and one that has fundamentally formed who I am today. “I am also an extremely prou d g r ad u ate of t h e University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I double majored in economics and German. I went on to earn my MBA from Columbia University’s School of Business and I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter holder. Additionally, I have over a decade’s work experience in the financial services and asset management industries, working for firms such as GE Capital and Bank of America. “With my years of experience volunteering in the schools and my background in finance, I believe I bring a valuable perspective to the table. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to s er ve t he P r inceton community, all our children, and you as a member of the Board of Education.” Next week Brian McDonald will be in the spotlight, presenting his background and views on the PPS, followed in subsequent weeks by Jeffrey Liao and Betsy Baglio. —Donald Gilpin

Residents Express Concern to Council About Rosedale Road Crossing The Rosedale Road crosswalk where a pedestrian was struck by a car and died late last month dominated discussion at a meeting of Princeton Council on Monday, September 13. Several members of the public pleaded for installation of a traffi c light at the site, while another argued that lowering the speed limit was the answer. Council passed several resolutions at the meeting, including three having to do with Princeton’s deer management program. A special award of recognition was given to the Rev. Robert Moore, marking the 40 th year since he joined the Coalition for Peace Action as its executive director. A work session was held on the proposed stormwater redevelopment ordinance, particularly relevant considering recent damage

from remnants of Hurricane Ida. Originally scheduled for the meeting, a public hearing on an ordinance establishing a new affordable housing overlay zone along Witherspoon Street was taken off the agenda because noticing had not been completed. Mayor Mark Freda said rescheduling the hearing will be a priority at Council’s next agendasetting meeting. After being presented with his award, Moore thanked the local community and the Council for support of various causes including nuclear freeze and ending the Iraq war. “The words and support you all give as local elected officials amplifies our voice to the higher branches of gover nment t hat are making these decisions,” he said.

Garoniak questioned Council on a recent leakage from fuel tanks located on the Franklin Street lot. Neighbors noticed the leak of diesel fuel a few days after it happened, she said, and the fire department re m ove d t h e t a n k. B ut other tanks are still at the site, which is close to the curb where Princeton High School students walk on their way to school. “They can be experimenting with smoking,” she said. “It’s a dangerous situation. We are all appalled. We thought those tanks were empty.” Municipal Administrator Bernie Hvozdovic said the town is aware of the situation and plans are underway to have the tanks removed. Lisa Serieyssol, chair of the Pedestrian & Bicycle Advisory Committee, spoke during the public c o m m e n t p e r i o d ab o u t the site on Rosedale Road where 82-year-old Pinghua Xi was struck on August 25 af ter ac t ivat i ng t he pedestrian crossing signal. The crosswalk leads to the entrance to Johnson Park Elementary School. “ T h i s i s a d a n g e r ou s intersection,” she said. “We want a police presence or a c ro s s i n g g u ard. I cannot stress enough the importance of the safety of that intersection.” Re s i d e nt T i n e ke T h io agreed. “Traffi c deaths are never an accident,” she said. “They are a result. I call on this Council to be different from all the Councils that have come before you, and

really put our lives and safety first.” Mayor Mark Freda stressed that the situation has not been ignored. “A lot of temporar y measures are being implemented,” he said. “We are addressing things like the tree canopy. Message boards were put up. We are talking to the county about trying to make improvements there. We have to look not just at the intersection, but at a fair stretch approaching it. We are trying to react.” Since Rosedale Road is a county road, the town cannot install a traffic light without approval. Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton said a request has been made. “ T h e r e i s r e a l ly on ly one s olut ion here, a nd it’s the traffic light,” said Councilwoman Mia Sacks. “It’s out of our reach because it’s a county road. Who at the county should [the public] reach out to?” Freda said the municipality is going to make another effort to convince the county. “Let us try that before asking the public to help,” he said. Serieyssol said putting a crossing guard in place would be an im mediate solution. “Someone should fi nd a way before someone else gets hurt,” she said. Council’s next regular meeting is September 27 at 7 p.m. The next agendasetting meeting is September 21 at 11 a.m. — Anne Levin

Rev. Robert Moore continued from page one

He emphasized the importance of the organization’s f a i t h - b a s e d fo u n d at i o n . “One of our organization’s strengths is its growth out of concern in the faith community — all different faiths,” he said. “By having that kind of base, we had staying power. If you have a base in the faith community you have a base in institutions that are lasting, institutions with moral authority.” Making a Difference Moore had many examples of instances in the history of the past 40 years where the work of the CFPA had made a significant impact. He highlighted three, all of

which are ongoing CFPA projects: the nuclear freeze campaign of the 1980s, New Jersey’s assault weapons ban in the 1990s, and the anti-war movement and the peace voter campaign that the CFPA initiated in 1995 and continues to expand on. The culmination of Moore’s early nuclear freeze efforts came in June of 1982, soon after he joined the CFPA, when he organized and sent a chartered peace train with 1,400 supporters to the New York City demonstrations in support of a nuclear weapons freeze. With a total of one million attendees, it was the largest demonstration in U.S. history. In November of that year he led the promotion of a nucle ar we apons f reeze

statewide referendum which was supported by two-thirds of New Jersey voters in the 1982 election. Moore led lobbying efforts in support of anti-nuclear and peace legislation in New Jersey and Washington over the next years. “All that grassroots activity put enough pressure on President Reagan so that he reversed his position of not even talking to the Soviets. He said he’d return to negotiations,” Moore noted. “Then Gorbachev came into power with perestroika, and by 1987 we had the first nuclear reduction treaty in history. It didn’t just freeze. It went further to reduce the nuclear arsenal. More than 2000 nuclear weapons were dismantled by that

40 YEARS OF PEACEMAKING: The Rev. Robert Moore (center in blue shirt), surrounded by Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) colleagues, received a surprise visit on September 8 from Princeton Councilmember David Cohen (right), who presented him with a Council resolution honoring Moore’s 40 years as executive director of CFPA and declaring September 8 as “Rev. Robert Moore Day” in Princeton.

agreement.” Moore cited this agreement as an example of “how our participation in this movement really paid off, really got results, but it was messy along the way.” The momentum in opposition to nuclear weapons has continued, Moore explained, with about 85 percent fewer nuclear warheads today — about 12,000 or 13,000 as opposed to about 70,000 in the 1980s. He added, “Unfortunately that’s still overkill, but it’s fewer fuses that can be ignited.” Other initiatives noted in the Council resolution and described by Moore included lobbying against gun violence to sustain the assault weapons ban in New Jersey; organizing protests and lobbying efforts against the Iraq War; supporting the Iran Nuclear Agreement of 2015; helping to pass more than 20 gun safety bills in New Jersey since 2010 through the Ceasefire NJ campaign; initiating the first in the nation Diplomacy, Not War campaign in 2012; and initiating the first in the nation No Wars, No Warming campaign in 2015. From Hawk to Peacemaker Moore described his transfor mation from hawk to peace advocate during his freshman year at Purdue University in 1968-69, after encountering a protest against Dow Chemical recruiters on campus. “In front of the recruiting booth there were students holding up the iconic blown up picture of a girl who was napalmed in Vietnam,” he recalled. “I said, ‘Something isn’t right here.’ So I began to look into it and do my research, and

I talked to the campus minister and realized the truth and the facts, and I realized that my approach was totally off base.” He continued, “I started college as a hawk, but by the end of the first semester, with my fellow students challenging me to find the truth and with the guidance of the campus ministry, I realized that peacemaking was something that I had totally missed in my upbringing in the church. It’s more than just a slogan. ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ is what Jesus said.” Moore became a campus minister during his sophomore year — his professional ministry goes back 51 years — and was active in anti-war and anti-hunger organizing. After college he went on to seminary. “So it’s been this deep-rooted sense of this as a sacred call to be peacemakers for many of us in the world of faith,” he said. “My whole life has been about nonviolence and peacemaking ever since the end of that first semester of my freshman year.” Moore noted that he found “the exact right match in Princeton with the CFPA, “a great place to co-mingle the passions in my life: faithbased organizing towards peace and nuclear disarmament.” Challenges Ahead “I don’t intend to just coast now. There’s a lot to be done,” he added, citing “a lot of unfinished business on the global abolition of nuclear weapons,” the endless wars initiated through the militarization of the federal budget and U.S. foreign policy, and the “existential threat” of climate change. “There are two things that threaten all life on earth: nuclear weapons and the climate crisis,” he said. “These are daunting challenges, but I’m hopeful.” He expressed optimism in seeing that the younger generation is passionate about the climate issue and that increasing numbers of Americans of both parties are speaking out against endless wars. “We’re building on momentum that’s already there, but we need to go much faster to get there in time,” he said. “We need a lot more expression of the will of the people, demanding this because our survival and the survival of the planet depends on tackling these things and succeeding.” And now, in the first week of his 41st year on the job, t he Rev. Rober t Moore, along with the CFPA, will surely be leading those efforts. —Donald Gilpin

Disaster Relief Stepped Up For Victims of Hurricane Ida

The Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA) has opened a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) at the Hollowbrook Community Center in Ewing Township. The center, which opened its doors on Tuesday, September 14, is to assist any Mercer County residents or businesses whose property was damaged in the remnants of Hurricane Ida. In Lamber tville, which is in Hunterdon County, the Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) will offer assistance on Wednesday, September 15 from 2-7:30 p.m. to provide residents and business owners with one-stop access to a range of resources to help them recover from the damage, which was substantial. The MARC will be on the sledding hill at North Main Street and Phillips Barber Road. The DRC in Ewing is staffed

by FEMA representatives who can provide information and answer questions on FEMA disaster aid. It is open to residents and businesses from every municipality in Mercer County, and residents from any other county that received the FEMA “Disaster” declaration. Residents who previously registered for assistance via the internet or by phone do not need to visit the DRC, but can ask questions or seek further information in person at the DRC. The eligibility for FEMA Individual Assistance means that residents or busine s s ow ners whos e proper ties were directly damaged by the flooding or storm events on September 1-3 can apply to recoup their losses. Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes announced on September 10 that Mercer County had been added to

FEMA’s list of locations to get major disaster declarations. Originally, Mercer County was not on the list, though several towns including Princeton suffered major flood damage during the storm. “I greatly appreciate FEMA’s response to the situation here in Mercer Count y, where residents in some of our communities are in dire need of assistance,” Hughes said in a prepared statement last week. “And I thank the Biden administration, Senators Booker and Menendez, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Governor Phil Murphy, as well as our county Office of Emergency Management, for their help in getting Mercer much-needed federal aid and accelerating our recovery process. I also thank our residents for their patience and perseverance during this difficult time.” The DRC is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and S at urdays and S u ndays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointment is necessary. Among the services p r ov i d e d a r e g u i d a n c e regarding disaster recovery, clarification of any written correspondence received, housing as sis tance and rental resource information, answers to questions and referrals to agencies that may provide further assistance, the status of applications being processed by FEMA, and Small Business Association (SBA) program information if there is a SBA representative at the DRC. If awarded, indiv idual

assistance can cover reimbursement for a variety of storm-related expenses including rental payments for temporary housing if homes are uninhabitable, grants for home repairs and replacement of essential household items not covered by insurance, low-interest loans to cover residential losses not covered by insurance, loans for small businesses that suffered disaster-related cash flow problems, and loans for farmers to cover property loss. The city of Lambertville is operating t he M A RC in collaboration with the American Red Cross New Jersey Region, United Way of Hunterdon County, and several governmental and nonprofit partners. FEMA is also offering assistance at the Union Fire House, 230 North Main Street. “We are doing everything we can to advocate for the people of Lambertville who were impacted by Ida,” said Mayor Julia Fahl. “More than 20 government and nonprofit entities are coming into our community to ensure that any questions residents have are answered and that resources are available to address all resident needs, from housing to insurance to FEMA to mental health and trauma recovery.” Mercer County residents seeking to begin the disaster application process c a n r e g i s te r o n l i n e at DisasterAssistance.gov or call (800) 621-3362 (800) 462-7585 for the hearing and speech impaired).

Applauding Town Engineering Dept., Workers For Dedication to Keeping Road Users Safe

To the Editor: Your reader Dr. Callan (“Dangerous Stretch of Road and Sidewalk on Rosedale Road Needs to Be Repaired,” Mailbox, September 8) is correct about the damage following the remnants of Hurricane Ida. I contacted Princeton Municipality to highlight the issue ahead of the school term starting and asked whether a stretch of barriers could be placed in the road to allow safe passage for foot traffic, especially families walking and cycling to nearby Johnson Park school. Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton facilitated a fix within 24 hours — an excellent response given the number of post-storm issues the department is currently tackling. Longer-term repairs will doubtless be addressed in due course and require a greater degree of planning and disruption, but I applaud the response of the Engineering Department and thank them and other municipal workers To the Editor: for their dedication in restoring our damaged infrastructure The Princeton mayor and Council are considering and keeping all road users safe. whether to allow cannabis industry licenses in Princeton.

Because new warehouses have regional repercussions, it’s important for residents of Princeton to know that the West Windsor Planning Board and Township Council have approved an ordinance that rezones approximately 650 acres of undeveloped land across from the Quaker Bridge Mall to allow for the construction of multiple large warehouses. West Windsor Township also entered into a litigation settlement agreement with the owner of that land, which anticipates the development of 5.5 million square feet of the property for warehouse use. This project could have undesirable consequences on the environment and quality of life in Mercer County. The retired director of the NJ Sierra Club, Jeff Tittel, characterized this as “the wrong project in the wrong place at the wrong time.” He believes “[i]Industrial development like this will bring in large trucks that generate air pollution, noise pollution, and traffic” and that the warehouse plan “will also increase impervious cover, causing more runoff and flooding.” This proposed warehouse development is one of the reasons we’ll be voting for Tirza Wahrman to be the next mayor of West Windsor. She has years of handson government and law firm experience, will call for a moratorium on warehouse construction until the community has had the opportunity to weigh in and be heard, and engage with the landowner and other stakeholders on alternative revenue-generating options that will preserve, to the maximum extent possible, the open space characteristics of this land. If the residents of our tow ns engage w ith local governments, we can work together to help ensure smart and sustainable growth and development that will also protect the beauty and livability of our communities.

BOOK/RECORD REVIEW

“Human and Heroic New York” — Celebrating Sonny Rollins and Michael K. Williams It was a madhouse. Everybody was running, women were screaming. All of this pollution coming out of the debris; it was like snow falling out of the sky. —Sonny Rollins I didn’t know how to release myself from him, and ... I had some backlash, you know, on a personal level. —Michael K. Williams on playing Omar y idea of “shock and awe” has nothing to do with the label the Bush administration attached to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, wherein “awe” was supposed to suggest disarray, panic, confusion, and terror. “Awe” is how I feel watching Michael K. Williams’s astonishing performance as Omar in The Wire. And it’s what I’ve felt in the presence of the Saxophone Colossus, Sonny Rollins, another native New Yorker who, like Williams, was hit hard by 9/11. With Rollins at his most wondrous, there’s no end to awe, it’s like his definition of music as “an open sky.” And 20 years on the other side of 9/11, the giant is still standing, having marked his 91st birthday on September 7, the day after the death at 54 of Michael K. Williams. Toxic Snow T V repor ts of New Yorkers being evacuated in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks referred to “an elderly black man carrying a saxophone case.” According to @jazztimes, “Sonny Rollins had been home in his Manhattan apartment, six blocks north of the World Trade Center, when the attacks occurred. From the street, he watched the second tower go down.” The next day the National Guard evacuated him from his apartment, where he’d been living for almost 30 years. Interviewed on September 11, 2019, Rollins commented, “When that second plane hit, it was like snowfall coming down. And that snow, of course, was just toxic stuff. Anyway, I gulped some of it down. We were waiting until the next day to be evacuated, so I picked up my horn to play. I took a deep breath and felt that stuff down to my stomach. I said, ‘Oh, wow, no practicing today.’ ... So yeah, it’s been conjectured that that’s part of what happened to me.” He’s referring to the pulmonary fibrosis that ended his playing days in 2012. As he put it in an NPR interview, “I had to go through quite a period of adjustment after I realized that I couldn’t blow my horn anymore.” Becoming Omar “You know, when I came into the character,” Michael K. Williams said, discussing Omar and The Wire with the Hollywood Reporter’s Scott Feinberg, “I wasn’t feeling good. I was depressed; I was on Paxil; I was smoking a lot of weed; drinking a lot of alcohol; 9/11 had kicked my ass — I didn’t respond well to that at all, you know, burning flesh in the air and all

that, I just did not know how to digest that. And mixed with looking out my projects window [the Vanderver Projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn] — my reality — you know, knowing that I desired something more out of life, it was just, it was a really jagged pill to swallow at that time in my life. And that was the state of mind I was in when I went in to read for Omar.” Williams had been working for almost two years in his mother’s daycare business when he got a fax from the casting director at HBO about “this dude named Omar Little.” Referring to what he heard from people who’ve watched the show and fallen in love with it over the years, Williams said, “First of all, he’s a Robin Hood. He’s an underdog. He is someone in society that, if given the chance, c o u l d h av e b e e n P re s ide nt B ar ack Obama [one of the foremost admirers of W i l l i a m s’s performance], had he been given the opportunities — great mind, great heart, a lot of courage. But he woke up one morning, with all that greatness, all that potential, and was like, ‘I’m stuck in Baltimore, Maryland — ‘Body-morgue Murder-land.’ .... And he just accepted where he was and who he was, and made no excuses for it, never complained, just, ‘It is what it is.’ ” Williams’s reference to looking out his “projects w indow” leaves u nsaid what he saw the morning of September 11, 2001. He wasn’t as close as his fellow New Yorker Sonny Rollins, but he was close enough to breathe it in. He was 34. Rollins was 71. As for what Rollins breathed in, jazz critic Nate Chinen writes, “Setting aside the implications of a story in which Rollins is harmed by the act of practicing — in search of inspiration, a word whose et ymolog y literally derives from “to breathe in” — there’s something terribly definitive about this moment.” In the Hollywood Reporter interview, Williams said, “I like to believe that I open my vessel to allow, for lack of a better word, ‘spirits,’ if you will, into me, and to project these characters, you know? Because what happened with Omar, you know — the only thing was I didn’t know how to release myself from him, and, you know, I had some backlash, you

know, on a personal level.” As Williams observed in an online A.V. Club interview, “Omar’s very popular with the youth. It’s cool to love Omar. I love Omar, nobody loves Omar more than me, but make no mistake: I pray to God nobody wants to be this dude, because I had to get inside of his mind, and it’s a dark, dark vortex.” Williams called The Wire “a love letter to our nation. Like a blueprint to show where we’re broken.” What Was Broken While I was looking online for the derivation of “Shock and Awe” I ran into my September 4, 2005 review of 102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive I n s i d e t h e Tw i n Towers. The article is titled “The Ultimate Shock and Awe,” and includes a sentence that anticipates what I’m thinking on the 20th anniversary: “the ultimate manifestation of ‘shock and awe’ explo de d out of a beautiful clear blue sky on a September morning in 2001.” In 102 Minutes, New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn suggest t hat t hat an inabilit y to imagine the attack’s ultimate consequence may have caused more loss of life than any other factor except perhaps the 1968 building code revision that allowed the towers’ designers to weaken security in order to free up profitable rental space. It was too late by the time an engineer from the Depar tment of Buildings warned that the stability of both structures had been seriously compromised. Although the possibility of total collapse was known by those few who were able to communicate the information, as many as a thousand of the men and women inside the towers that morning may have died because no one believed that the buildings could fall. T he relatively contained effects of the earlier 1993 bombing had encouraged a false sense of security, and on top of that, a structural engineer had assured everyone that the towers had been designed to stand up to the impact of a Boeing 707. The authors of 102 Minutes compare the fall of the invulnerable towers to the sinking of the “unsinkable” Titanic.

reimagining a recorded performance more than half a century after the fact. But there’s no way around it — Sonny Rollins’s album East Broadway Rundown (released in 1966, the year Michael K. Williams was born) is a different experience entirely when you know that East Broadway connects the immediate neighborhood of the catastrophe with Grand Street, where Rollins was living in 1959-1961, and with the Williamsburg Bridge, where he famously honed his art and his legend (he named an album after Grand Street and titled his return to recording life The Bridge). In the fall of 1966, when all the excitement was coming from the rock renaissance, I was outside East Broadway Rundown “looking in.” Not now. Now it feels like being at the mercy of a street scene action painting of urban chaos powered by the convergence of Rollins’s dusky, brawling, who-knows-where-he’sheaded tenor with Freddy Hubbard’s piercing trumpet, Jimmy Garrison’s moodmaking bass, and the drumming of Elvin Jones, who as Nat Hentoff writes in the liner notes, “occasionally sounds as if he has at least four hands and four feet” as he builds “layers of cross accents and shifting textures into a percussion totality.” Hentoff hears “a hypnotic heartbeat” coursing through Jones’s waves of cymbal sounds” that makes it seem that “we have come back to the root of all music.” t the end, there’s an after-thefall moment where it’s possible to imagine the collapse of the towers in the echo of Jones’s thunder on a streetscape haunted by the eerie cries Rollins creates by playing through the mouthpiece — in Hentoff’s words, “pyramiding overtones from the mouthpiece alone” above the pulse and throb of Garrison’s bass. At that point, Sonny Rollins, ever the wittiest of players in jazz’s human comedy, puts his horn back together again and blows the whole endgame noir melodrama into the “open sky” with a series bloops, whoops, and assorted derisive sounds. It’s as if he were back on the bridge again. “I used to blow my horn back at the boats when the boats would blow,” Rollins told the Washington Post in November 2011. “All of that was great. I was in a place where nobody could see me. This was heaven. This was heaven.” And spread out all around him was the city that has inspired awe in all who have loved it — Walt Whitman’s “human and heroic New York.” —Stuart Mitchner

Community Foundation Awards Trenton Arts Fund Grants

The Trenton Arts Fund at the Princeton Area Community Foundation has awarded a total of $25,000 in grants to eight nonprofits working to make the arts more accessible to the community. The Trenton Arts Fund was created in 2018 by John Hatch and his husband, David Henderson to support arts, culture, and history organizations because they believe that when the arts thrive, cities thrive. A sevenperson grants committee, whose members live locally and have a background in the arts, reviewed and evaluated all applications and recommended funding eight finalists. “Our goal was to support emerging and established arts, culture and history organizations in Trenton as they reopen and emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Hatch. “We also wanted to support and recognize those organizations that focus on our young people in the city. The Trenton Arts Fund received many excellent applications, and we are thrilled to support these eight organizations that are doing extraordinary work in Trenton, bringing the arts to all corners of the city.” This is the second and largest round of grants made by the Fund.

GILMAN AT WORK: Drawings and works on paper by artist Ann Gilman are featured in “At the still point of the turning world,” on view through December 17 at the Anne Reid ’72 Gallery at Princeton Day School.

Anne Reid ’72 Gallery at Princeton Day School, 650 Great Road, presents “At the still point of the turning world,” an exhibition of draw ings and works on paper by Anne Gilman, on view through December 17. Gilman is a Brookly nbas ed ar t ist who works in var y ing for mats t hat include large-scale drawings and multi-panel projects.

all forms of moods, worries, and psychological states of being are the materials that feed her work. She begins by using her own thoughts and experiences as a starting point, writing extemporaneously across 1/2-inch lines she r ules across the page. The resulting drawings are a mapping of information, thought and emotion. The exhibition takes its title

the nature of time. Eliot leads the reader through undulations of the past and the future, re-centering us consistently back within the present moment. Gilman does much t he same in her artwork; echoing the practice of meditation through obser vation and acceptance of thoughts and emotions as they come. Works like Flashpoint (2021), made at the height

of the pandemic and during the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests, mourn a year stricken with anger, g r ief, a nd conf u s ion. Rest les s s cratch ing and mark-making break through the surface of the drawing a n d G i l m a n’s m i n i m a l yet specific use of color suggests urgency and heat. Fragments of text within the drawing such as, “I thought the fires had stopped but I was mistaken,” allude to the devastating fires that raged through California this past year and reveal parts of Gilman’s process; writing freely and then self-editing as thoughts and feelings shift with time. The inclusion of a Yahrzeit candle at the base of the drawing (used in the Jewish religion to honor loved ones who have died) memorializes those lost at the hands of the police and to the pandemic. A nother draw ing, A particular kind of quiet (2018), rests on the floor like a reflecting pool with two small clear, glass spheres placed like tear-drops over a deep expanse of blue and black pigment. We enter the work with a downturned and reverent gaze. Fragments of w r it i ng s u ch as, “I s this filling space like what people do to pass time? Like the day has to be filled with something — or else what?” center us around the labor of art-making and asks us to consider our relationship with productivity and its impact on our self-worth as artists and as human beings. In other works, literal and suggestive references to land, sea, and space have a somber atmosphere, as she presents them with

both reverence and concern, alluding to nature’s fragile balance and pressing concerns for the health of the planet. In the wake of a year colored by extreme isolation, fear of illness, and economic shutdown, it seems especially vital to consider the personal, social, and political systems we have come to know and live by. Gilman demonstrates through her practice a way to grant ourselves the space and the time to be present and still, as lessons from the past and fears for the future collide. Gilman’s work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, Latin America, and Europe including Mexico, H av a n a , B e r l i n , P a r i s , C h i c a g o, P h i l a d e l p h i a , and New York. She was a recipient of a Fellowship f rom t he E dward A lbee Fo u n d at i o n i n 2 010, a MacDowell Fellowship i n 2 012 , a C h e n v e n Foundation award in 2015, and a Two Trees Cultural Space Subsidy Program in 2017 for her commitment to com munit y outreach. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic, Art Spiel, Bomb Magazine, and is in the collections of The National Museum of Women in the Arts, The Brooklyn Museum, New York Public Library, Azerbaijan Museum, and The Library of Congress. A bilingual version of her artist book, Frayed Edges, was published by Ediciones Vigía in Matanzas/Cuba and her artist book, this place / this hour, was included in an exhibition commemorating the 200th anniversary of

Walt Whitman. She is an adjunct professor, CCE, in the Graduate MFA Program at Pratt Institute where she has taught for over 20 years. Due to changing COVID-19 protocol, exhibition reception, and events will be updated at pds.org/thearts/anne-reid-gallery. To schedule a private viewing, email annereid72gallery @ pds.org.

inMotion Fitness & Wellness

inMotion Fitness & Wellness started in March 2020 as Apart, Together, a Facebook community born out of the need for support and connection. Our online community quickly grew as we offered free virtual group fitness classes and community-building activities, such as a virtual book club, educational resources for kids, and community service projects. In September of 2020, we began offering a formal fitness platform with virtual classes, personal training, and nutrition and wellness coaching. With a strong commitment towards community involvement, inMotion also began creating a nexus between outdoor group fitness and f undraising. So far, inMotion has raised approximately $10,000 for local nonprofits such as the Christina Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation, Share My Meals, the Trenton Area Food Kitchen, PACE Education, Dress for Success, and Amazing Mutts Puppy Rescue. Our Grand Opening event on September 18 will benefit SAVE. inMotion has evolved once again and our beautif ul Princeton boutique fitness

and wellness center boasts two large group fitness studios offering a variety of classes such as Barre, Yoga, Zumba, Les Mills, Cardio, and Strength classes for adults and kids. Classes are offered both live in-person and on Zoom. In addition, inMotion offers Personal Training, Wellness Coaching, Nutrition Coaching, and specialty series classes such as Mommy & Me and Kid’s Hula Hoopla. Studio and Hybrid Memberships are available as well as Drop In Studio or Zoom passes, allowing you the ultimate flexibility to meet your fitness needs. We are so much more than a gym. inMotion Fitness & Wellness is truly a supportive community that came together when we were forced to be apart. It is a community committed to continuing its tradition of fundraising for local nonprofits. It is a community that will welcome you and support you in your fitness and wellness goals. We can’t wait to meet you!

Lady and the Shallot

As proud pioneers of the vegan movement in the area since 2018 and two-time winners of Town Topics’ Readers’ Choice Awards, L a d y a n d t h e S h a l lot’s

mission has always been m ore t ha n j u s t fe e d i ng people good food. While working privately with clients in the Princeton area and adapting to a cleaner lifestyle, we decided to create a place that was clean, plant based vegan, and affordable. As a farm to table eatery, we wanted to be where the farms were, which is why we chose the historic Trenton Farmers Market. We wanted to create beautiful and diverse plant based dishes that anyone can afford. We wanted to give our guests comfort foods without sacrificing their health. Inspired by our nephew with nut allergies, we are also 100 percent nut free and gluten free. It’s all about giving for us, it truly fulfills us deep down. We also enjoy creating Five Course Charity events, hosted by local charities or supporters of a charity. Contact us for ways you can host one in the future. We believe in a vegan lifestyle for the souls of animals and human beings, but most importantly our habitat and home, Planet Earth. 960 Spruce Street, Lawrence Township.

Radiology Affiliates Imaging

Radiology Affiliates Imaging has been here for you for over 50 years, and we will continue to be here for you when you need us most. Today more than ever before, we know health should never be taken for granted. If the pandemic caused you to postpone your screening and diagnostic studies, now is the time to make yourself a priority once again and schedule those exams. Screening exams are an important part of keeping you and your family members healthy. Early detection has always been and remains key to diagnosis, treatment, and sur vival. R A I offers several screening studies to referring physicians and their patients. These include Coronary Calcium Score, CT Lung Cancer Screening, 3D Mammography, and Bone Density (DEXA). Preventative screening can provide physicians with valuable information before symptoms are present, which can then allow them the ability to successfully identify or control health issues. Annual screening studies can also turn worry into peace of mind for many patients, especially those who are high risk or have a family history of disease. RAI continues to follow expert guidelines, including the American College of Radiology (ACR) and CDC recommendations, regarding infection control procedures. These precautions include face masks for both employees and patients, social dis-

tancing, screening patients for COVID-19 symptoms prior to arrival, and enhanced cleaning protocols. R AI offers expertise in all areas of imaging for all members of your family. Our board-certified subspecialty radiologists offer expertise in women’s imaging, interventional radiology, musculoskeletal and diagnostic radiology. Whether you need an MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Mammogram, or X-Ray we offer the latest in imaging technology and interpretation. In the last 50 years, RAI has earned our place amongst the largest and most respected radiology groups in our area. Our family is here for your family.

was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes. “High Performing” is the highest rating U.S. News awards for those types of care. “We are honored to have four clinical areas recognized among the top in the nation for their specialty,” said Leslie D. Hirsch, FACHE, president and CEO of Saint Peter’s Healthcare System. “This prestigious rating from U.S. News reinforces our clinical care teams’ commitment to continually improve the quality of patient outcomes and recognizes our ability to deliver on this promise.” For the 2021-22 ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,750 medical centers nationwide in 17 procedures and conditions. Fewer than a third of all hospitals received any high-performing rating, and only 11 earned this rating in all procedures and conditions. The state and metro area rankings recognize hospitals that received high per for ming ratings across multiple areas of care. “This year’s expanded report from U.S. News includes new ratings for important procedures and conditions to help each patient pick the right hospital for the type of care they need,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “Hospitals faced incredible challenges this past year, and the best of them have provided great care throughout the pandemic and continue to offer excellent care today.” For more on Saint Peter’s University Hospital, visit saintpetershcs.com or call (732) 745-8600.

Unique Phillips’ Mill Community Association Offers Programs in Art, Photography, and Theater

istory and art come together at the Ph i l l ip s’ M i l l i n New Hope, Pa. Located at 2619 River Road, it was originally a grist mill in the 18th century, when farmers brought their grain to be ground into flour.

IT’S NEW To Us

Today, it is known for presenting one of the most prestigious art shows in the region, attracting top talent and serious art collectors. C on s id ere d to b e t h e birthplace of Pennsylvania Impres sion ism, t he Mill is home to its acclaimed “Jur ied Ar t Show,” first held in 1929, explains Laura Womack, vice president of the Phillips’ Mill Community Association board and chair of the art committee. As reported in the Phillips’ Mill Association’s special book, Celebrating 75 Years of Art, “Among the founders were the now legendar y leaders of the Pennsylvania art colony, centered in New Hope at the beginning of the 20th century. Initially, they included Edward Redfield, William Langston Lathrop, and David Garber.” Respected Artists These were prominent, nationally respected artists, working in the landscape tradition, and they were drawn to the natural beauty of the New Hope area, adds

Reni Fet terolf, long time Phillips’ Mill Community Association member and historian. A number of the early participants were also women, including ar tists such as M. Elizabeth Pierce, Mary Smyth Perkins, and Fern Coppedge. As the book continues, “Their prominence attracted other artists to the area to study and work with them. As more and more artists joined the colony, William L at h r op g at h e r e d t h e m and their families together into a social circle to share ideas about ar t. Events were held at the Lathrop home, and these gatherings were the precursors to the committees of the eventual Phillips’ Mill Community Association.” “T he A s sociat ion is a n o n p r of i t or g a n i z at i o n , dedicated to the promotion of the arts and the preservation of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Bucks County area,” explains Reni Fetterolf. “As a nonprofit, it is supported by members, patrons, and benefactors. Also, sale of the art is another means of support.” The purchase of the Phillips’ Mill in 1929 provided an important local exhibition space and a new place for more social events through membership in the organization. The Mill’s history dates to pre-Revolution America, and one goal of the Association was the preservation of the Mill as a historic landmark. “Operating before and during the American Revolution, the

Mill was a constant ‘forum.’ There was plenty to talk about, in addition to the exchange of local news and gossip, while waiting for grist or flour,” reports an early publication. The fact that it has evolved i nto s u c h a s i g n i f i c a nt symbol for art reinforces the importance of history and art as blended cultural resources. Historic Connection Association board member and art committee member Terri Epstein emphasizes this historic connection. “I am fascinated by the historic significance of the Mill, that so many important artists walked the floors, breathed in the autumn air blowing through the doors and windows of that very structure. I walk in and feel the ghosts of all that creativity swirl around me. It makes me smile every time.” S h e ad d s t h at b efor e moving to Bucks County, she was a Pennington resident, and visited the Phillips’ Mill art show many times. “It is definitely an event that draws people from all over the greater Princeton area.” “Without the Phillips’ Mill, there wouldn’t be the focus on ar t here,” points out Fetterolf. “The juried shows have been very important in creating excitement and energy.” Although especially k now n for Pennsylvania Impressionism, The Mill’s ar t focus has presented every kind of art from the earliest days of the show,

ART PLUS HISTORY: The Phillips’ Mill, shown here, is many things to many people. An important cornerstone in New Hope, it was once a grist mill, dating to the 18th century. It is now a unique visual and performing arts center, welcoming artists, photographers, playwrights, actors, and art lovers from around the region. Its long history, showcasing important talent, brings countless visitors to its annual exhibitions and performances. It will hold its “92nd Juried Art Show,” opening on September 25, featuring the work of important area artists. including impressionism, representational, realistic, modern, and contemporary, among other genres. T he show at tracts the best work of hundreds of artists living within a 25mile radius of t he Mill. More than 1,000 people visit the show each year, and all art is for sale — oils, watercolors, mixed media, pastels, and drawings, as well as sculpture. In addition to framed art, there is a portfolio of unframed art, i n clu d i ng d r aw i ng s a n d paintings. This year, the show will include the creations of more than 200 artists across three categories : framed works, sculpture, and unframed portfolio pieces. The work to be included is selected by a panel of jurors, who then judge the pieces for awards. This year, prizes will be given to 16 artists. Something To Buy The planning for the show involves months of preparation, explains Womack, “It really takes nine months. We start in June. The best artists want to be in the show, but they all have to be selected. The public will know that these artists have been vetted by experts. Also, the people who want to come to the show know that there will be something they’ll want to buy.” Many established artists have par ticipated in the show more than once, and the Art Committee is also always on the lookout for up and coming artists and new

talent, points out Fetterolf. People of all ages come to see the art, including families, she adds. “It can be a really nice outing for people, with a visit to New Hope and this very scenic area. Many people look for ward to coming ever y year.” In addition to the annual “Juried Art Show,” Phillips’ Mill of fers several other programs: a photo exhibition, theater productions, the Youth Art Exhibition, and the Emerging Playwrights Competition. The drama program presents three plays, both musicals and dramas, during the year, and interest in photography has become an increasingly important focus over the years. There is extra excitement about the art show this year, as it will once again be onsite, in person. Last year, it was available only online due to the pandemic. World of Possibilities “ We h a d t o b e v e r y innovative, blending the new technology with the traditional show,” reports Womack. “We have been able to do t hat w it hout losing the personality of our history as we embrace the new communication.” She adds that in difficult times, people need the arts even more, and through Phillips’ Mill, a sense of community and belonging has been furthered. “We soon discovered that we could actually reach more

people when we started to share stories and artwork online. It opens up a world of possibilities, and motivated us to launch new programs and expand our reach on some wonderful platforms we didn’t even know existed.” While many will wish to visit the show in person this year, online viewing will also be available. The Association members are enthusiastic about the new show and all that it means to the artists, collectors, and the community at large. “Art is so important. It is such a signature in this area,” points out Womack. “We are so glad to be able to do this. I love working with the people at the Mill and the artists. Everyone here loves ar t and is so committed to it.” Adds Fetterrolf, “I look forward to seeing everyone here — the artists and the people who fall in love with the art and the environment when they come here. Think about it — the transformation of the space. Just look at this room. Now, it’s just a plain room. But when the art is here, and the paintings are up on the walls, it is like magic!” he show will run from September 25 through October 31, daily from 1 to 5 p.m. A $5 entry fee is charged for adults, with senior and student discounts.

Having Lost the 2020 Season Due to COVID-19 Concerns, Princeton Football Returning to Action with Trip to Lehigh

here is a din of screeching, thumping, and hammering going on around the Princeton University football team as it has gone through its preseason practices with a soccer stadium and parking garage being constructed nearby. But that racket hasn’t distracted Princeton head coach Bob Surace as he goes about the task of building his 2021 squad into a winner after last season was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. “You saw all of the construction; I feel like those things 10 years ago when I was a little less mature would have bothered me,” said Surace, standing in a corner of Powers Field at Princeton Stadium fielding questions in the program’s recently-held Media Day. “But when you have a year off, you are smiling on the way to practice. Stuff is going on all around us and nothing bothers me. It is just about the guys being back and us being here, which is really cool.” With Princeton having last played on November 23, 2019 when they defeated Penn 28-7 to finish that season 8-2 overall and 5-2 Ivy League, the Tigers will have an additional contingent of veterans as they play at Lehigh on September 18 to kick off the 2021 campaign. “You have that extra group including the true seniors, the ones who would have been seniors anyway; they are doing an amazing job of helping the young players who have never been on campus,” said Surace, noting that he has 17 players who didn’t enroll in school last year so they could play this year for the Tigers. “There were guys that I have recruited, coaches

have been on Zooms with them and the first time I met them was on August 19th. That part is building a relationship, I don’t see a lot of people getting married off of a speed date. That part takes more time. We are going through that. It is really helpful to have a locker room with so many upperclassmen. They are just cognizant of that part of it.” Senior running back Collin Eaddy, who rushed for 799 yards in 2019 and has a career average years per carry of 5.8, the best in program history, has provided a soothing locker room presence. “Collin was like an old soul when he got here, he is that way,” said Surace. “Now that he is into his fifth year, there is this impact he has when he is giving a message or talking to the guys. Everybody does it differently. You guys saw John Lovett ’19 — he might grab a guy by the shirt and talk to him in a louder voice where Collin might put his arm around him and just bring him off privately.” Senior linebacker Jeremiah Tyler brings a jolt of energy on and off the field for the Tigers. “He looks great,” said Surace of Tyler, a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League performer in 2019 and one of two finalists for the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year. “You see him, he just has that big smile, he comes out with energy, he leads by example. When he sends a message, it is outstanding. He plays hard. We use the hashtag on social media, orange juice. He is the epitome of juice and energy. He is always bouncing around with this love and passion of being at Princeton and being

on the field.” Eaddy and Tyler were recently named to serve as team captains this fall along with fellow seniors Trevor Forbes, Nikola Ivanisevic, James Johnson, and Cole Smith. “At each position, we have a leadership council and from there, we pick the captains from those guys,” said Surace, “I don’t want to have a vote because I don’t know who I would choose. This group is the largest group of leaders, but I can’t go out with nine captains.” One of the key questions to be answered in the preseason is who will emerge as the quarterback to lead the Tiger offense. “We have had this a few times since I have been here where we have graduated a veteran player, a really good player, and we have had to compete,” said Surace, noting that senior Cole Smith; senior Brevin White; sophomore transfer Blake Stenstrom, who previously played at Colorado; and junior Joe Hutchison are vying for the QB spot. “I think that room is so solid. The way that we coach all of them, there is this natural transition. The hard part right now is that they are all playing really well. Those four guys are playing and operating the offense really well. They are throwing it really well.” Princeton features some hard hitters in the trenches, led by senior Henry Byrd at offensive tackle and senior Sam Wright on the defensive line. “Our guys up front, our Oline versus D-line have had battles in practice,” said a smiling Surace, an All-Ivy center during his playing days at Princeton in the late

1980s. “It is Henry Byrd blocking Sam Wright or Sam pass rushing on Byrd. Those match-ups are just great.” The Tigers feature some great players all over the field as they are returning starters on each side of the ball, including All-Ivy performers in senior receiver Jacob Birmelin, senior defensive back Delan Stallworth, senior tight end Carson Bobo, junior punter Will Powers, and senior linebacker James Johnson in addition to Eaddy, Tyler, and Byrd. With Princeton having won three of the last seven Ivy titles, it was chosen as the preseason league favorite in a vote of Ivy media members. While Surace likes seeing the program get that kind of respect, he knows there is a lot of work to do on and off the field in order for Princeton to again be an Ivy title contender. “We have been away from each other, so how are we going to respond to being together,” said Surace who guided Princeton to a 10-0 season in 2018 giving it a two-year record of 18-2, the most victories the Tigers have had over a two-year stretch since the 1950-51 seasons. “That one, they have been awesome with. Then it is how are they going to be with our operation when we call an offensive formation and play, a defensive front, blitz, cover or whatever. I watched practice yesterday and we had more stuff on both sides of the ball. I told the coaches, let’s dial it back a little. We have stuff in that we normally have in at the middle of the season. We have been meeting with the players for so many Zooms that the players have taken it from the laptop and transferred it onto the field.” The Tigers will be thrown

RETURN ENGAGEMENT: Princeton University football head coach Bob Surace answers a question at the program’s recently-held Media Day. After last season was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, Princeton is returning to action by playing at Lehigh on September 18.

It is good preparation for that. That has always been a dogfight when we play them. Even when we were bad and they were good, it was a great game for at least three quarters. In the years where we were really good and played

them and maybe they were a little down, the game has been incredibly competitive. It is awesome having a team that has historically been a top Patriot League team week one because we can’t have a bad practice.” Surace is cautiously optimistic that Princeton can emerge as a top team. “We will see,” said Surace. “I love how we are working, I love how we are doing things. If we keep doing things the right way, yeah, I think we have a great group.” —Bill Alden

After Spending a Productive Year Away from Princeton, Senior Star Tyler Primed for Big Finale with Tiger Football Jeremiah Tyler took a year off from Princeton University in 2020-21 but he didn’t take it easy. The star senior linebacker for the Princeton football team gained strength and weight, got a taste of the real world, and deepened the bonds with his teammates during his time away from school. “At the first half of the year I stayed at home in Detroit and I trained with the trainer to focus on myself and gain weight; that was a huge emphasis for me,” said Tyler. “I was with my parents just working internships. I’m really grateful for the PFA [Princeton Football Association], they’re a huge help for all of Princeton. Just getting that internship and that work time, getting that experience of real life is good. You get that under your belt and the second half I moved in with some teammates. We went to Nashville, which was a good time. We got a gym down there — Gym 5 — shouts out to them — and they were really nice about everything. They were very welcoming, let us lift and power lift and all that jazz. In Nashville we had about 20 guys total. It was two different houses.” As Tyler hit the field for preseason training, t hat work had him looking like a different guy. “Last time I weighed out I was around 207,” said the 6’1 Tyler, who had a superb 2019 season, getting named as an unanimous first-team All-Ivy League performer and as one of two finalists for the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year. “Now I’m 227, so I gained a good 20 pou nds, but healthy. Hopefully I don’t look too chunky.” There has been a healthy attitude around the preseason camp as the Tigers are thrilled to be back on the field together as a full team for the first time since November 23, 2019 when they defeated Penn 28-7 to finish that season 8-2 overall and 5-2 Ivy League and then saw their 2020 campaign canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. “There’s always a ton of smiles around camp, even when you’re hurting because we’re just happy to see each other and you’re happy to be there and happy to play football again,” said Tyler, who had 62 tackles, with 14.5 going for a loss, including 3.5 sacks, in 2019 and has 105 tackles, three interceptions and 10 passes defended in his career. “It’s just so good to play football again from that year and everything that we went through as a team, as a community, as humans. It took a toll on everyone. Having everyone here on one accord and one place, it feels great.” While there may be plenty of smiles, there are also the bumps and bruises that come with the grind of camp. “We’re taking it a day at a time at camp, especially now because it’s crucial,” said Tyler. “When you’re hurting and you’re tired and sore and don’t want to go to practice, you have to grind through it

because the person next to you is doing it for you, so you have to do it for everybody. You have to set that tone and that culture because that’s what we’re about. You have to push through adversity. You’re going to face adversity in football, in life, wherever you are. There’s always going to be a challenge. We’re not going to back down from that. That’s how we become closer as a team.” In Tyler’s view, the Tiger defense is pushing hard to get on the same page as they prepare to open the 2021 season by playing at Lehigh (0-2) on September 18. “We have to keep focusing on the small details, because that’s really what’s important — details,” said Tyler. “Once we become more detail-oriented as a defense, then we will excel. I feel like we just have to take it a day at a time honestly. I’m confident in our D-line, our linebackers, our DBs, I’m confident in our whole defense because everybody has been grinding and putting in that work. I’m really excited to see what we’re going to bring forth to the table September 18. I’m really looking forward to that. In order to get to that point, we still have to get better and better each and every day.” With his experience and laurels, Tyler is looking to pass on some of his hardearned expertise to his teammates. “I’m looking to bring leadership and actually for my young players I would like them to feel comfortable to come to tell me problems that they have in and outside of football,” said Tyler, who has been named as one of the six captains for the 2021

squad along with classmates Collin Eaddy, Trevor Forbes, Nikola Ivanisevic, James Johnson, and Cole Smith. “I would just like to become a better mentor. I want to focus on bringing my team together because that’s what we need. We essentially have two freshman classes and so I want that bond to stick. So I need to do this during camp because when we go into the season then we’ll all fall on each other’s back.” Along with Tyler, 16 other teammates put off their senior year at Princeton in 2020-21, looking to bring a proper sense of closure to their Tiger football career. “As soon as we got the news, I told them, ‘We’re coming back. I don’t care what we have to do,’ ” recalled Tyler. “I said ‘I don’t care how many letters we have to write. I don’t care who we have to write to. We can call the president. We have to talk to him. We have to let him know that we have to come back.’ I’m grateful to even spend that time with those guys because we were all seniors and it’s good to learn about each other, learn our downfalls, learn our strengths. That really brought us together as a leadership group and then we had a solid leadership group to come back into camp to try to gain the respect of our young guys and bring us together as a team.” W h i l e Tyl e r h a s b e e n named to the Buchanan Award watch list (given to the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision), to the Stats Per for m t hird -team pre season All-American, and is a bona-fide NFL prospect, his thoughts aren’t on

his long-range future in the game. “I’m not even focused on the next level right now I’m actually focused on tomorrow’s practice,” said Tyler. “I have to get through that in order to even get to the next level. Actually I’m really focused on bringing my team together right now, going to practice every day and making sure we get everything done, like the small details I preached on earlier, we have to clean that up, and everything will play out. If we keep grinding the way we are now, everything will fall into place.” A nd t here is no place where Tyler would rather be this fall than on the field with his Princeton teammates for one final college campaign. “I couldn’t miss another year with these kids,” said Tyler. “The way we went out, if I would have went out like that, I would have felt like I was letting my family down. I’d feel like I was walking out on them. So I’m going to wait, patience is a virtue, as they say. I had to come back. I felt like I was going to let these guys down if I didn’t and I felt that within my heart.” —Bill Alden

With Senior Star Carusone Blasting In Winning Goal, PHS Boys’ Soccer Edges Robbinsville 2-1 in Opener Nico Carusone knew it was time to step up. With the Princeton High boys’ soccer team deadlocked 1-1 against Robbinsville late in the second half last Wednesday in the season opener, senior striker Carusone produced a moment of brilliance. Getting the ball in the box, Carusone wheeled and blasted the ball into the back of the net to score and give PHS the margin of victory in a 2-1 triumph. “With 15 minutes left in the game, we had to bring it all,” said Carusone. “I knew the goal was there and I hit it.” It took a while for PHS to get into a rhythm as the foes were deadlocked in a scoreless draw at the half. “They had their back line so far back, they were letting us play in front of them which kind of led to our possession,” said Carusone. “I think they did a really good job of keeping a hold of us. Once we got a break before the second half, we told the team what they were doing and we figured out how to score two goals.” T he tr io of Car usone,

sophomore Patrick Kenah, and junior Richard Wegman started figuring out things after halftime with Kenah tallying the first goal of the day, slotting in a rebound 14 minutes into the half. “We are all on the same page at this point, we had a really good preseason together,” said Carusone. “All three of us scored some nice goals in the preseason and now it is showing in the regular season. In Carusone’s view, PHS is getting on the same page collectively as it welcomes some new faces to the lineup. “Last year we had a lot of seniors, we had an abbreviated season, you could say, so it is great to get going,” said Carusone. “We have a lot of new guys here, a lot of guys I haven’t played with before.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe acknowledged that his squad didn’t play well in the early stages against Robbinsville. “It was a little slow start, it was a little disconnected,” said Sutcliffe. “I thought they had a better start, we were pleased

with the second 20 minutes of the first half. We were just finding some connections, putting some passes together and threatening.” Kenah has been threatening since the start of preseason. “That is his fourth goal of the year, including all scrimmages and everything,” said Sutcliffe. “He has had an impressive preseason; he is a really good player. He has established himself through his quality and his athleticism.” Sutcliffe is not surprised that Carusone came through with the game-winner. “That is expected from him because this is his third year as a starter and he is capable of a clinical finish like that in a big moment,” said Sutcliffe of Carusone. The Tiger defense came through in some big moments, led by senior goalie Carl Birge making his first varsity start. “The back four had their hands full because Rob binsville was finding some possession deep, putting a couple together and then hitting a long one, launching it,” said Sutcliffe, whose team tied Steinert 0-0 last Saturday and plays at WW/ P-North in September 18 before hosting Allentown on September 21. “It was very problematic in the first half but then in the second half with this wind, I think it was a factor in the game. Credit to the back four and Carl. He kept us in the game, he had a big save on one that went off the bar. It was a great save.” The win tasted a bit sweeter for PHS since it fell 3-2 to Robbinsville in 2020. “We are really pleased, there was a little something extra today after last year,” said Sutcliffe. “What we need to do is to take to heart winning the opening game. Going ahead in a game, drawing level and then finding a way to win it late. That is what we are taking from this, pulling it out and finding a way.” Sutcliffe likes the way his squad has pulled together. “I am just really proud, we worked very hard all summer long and couldn’t be more proud of not just the guys on the field but every guy on the team,” said Sutcliffe. “We had a great preseason camp. We are a team and we are going to stay a team.” Carusone, for his part, is looking for a great final campaign with PHS. “It is my senior year,” said Carusone. “Especially with the abbreviated season before, it is even more important to make the most of the season.” —Bill Alden

Sophomore Running Back Goldberg Shows Promise As PHS Football Falls 47-0 to Haddon Heights With the Princeton High football team trailing Haddon Heights 39-0 at halftime last Saturday in its home opener, the message was simple. “At halftime, it was just go back in and have fun,” said PHS sophomore running back Tyler Goldberg. “That was it.” Midway through the third quarter, Goldberg had some fun, ripping off a 29-yard run followed by an 11-yard jaunt. “I s aw daylight, I am hyped,” said Goldberg, who ended up with a team-high 32 yards net rushing. The Tigers, though, did not find much more daylight on the day as they ended up falling 47-0. “We have to be more of a team, we just have to communicate,” said Goldberg, reflecting on the defeat. “This is our team, this is our family. We have go to work together to beat teams and I don’t think we did that today.” PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher ack nowledged that the Tigers ran into a very good team in Haddon Heights. “My hat is off to their coaching staff; they have a good football program and they are 2-0 for a reason,” said Gallagher. “They have got some big boys, they have some good w ide receivers. Jackson Ferrante is a standout tailback and a standout middle linebacker. He stuffed us a couple of times early. It was just really challenging.” Gallagher credited Goldberg with being up to the challenge. “Tyler is a starting tailback, he is a good player for us,” said Gallagher. “He didn’t play varsity, he got one JV game the whole year. This is his third football game at the high school level and it is a varsity game against a really talented program.” Despite the score, Gallagher thought his team displayed a higher level of football in its second game of the season. “I am proud of them, we didn’t play very well in the second half of last week’s game,” said Gallagher, referring to a 26-7 loss to Overbrook on September 4. “In the first half of this g a m e, e ve n t h o u g h w e were down quite a few, I saw improvement. It just so happened we were playing a really good team. We improved in everything, offense, defense. I thought we were a better tackling team. You don’t become excellent in one week but I saw marked improvement from the first week to the second week. You are going to look at the scoreboard and everybody is going to say that was a total blowout but I don’t think so. I think we got better.” In the view of Gallagher, there were several bright spots for PHS. “Jaiden Johnson had another great game, Lehehmoo Pwee has been real solid for us on special teams,” said Gallagher. “I like this defensive end that we have, Jake Richter, he came off the edge pretty

hard. You saw Zach Okoye in the mix, he had some big hits. Everaldo Servil had a fumble recovery.” Gallagher believes that his squad can recover from the setback as it plays at Cherry Hill East on September 18. “ T h e r e a r e d e f i n i te l y things to build off of; you have to eliminate the score from your mind,” said Gallagher. “You have got to look at the tape and see where is the improvement and acknowledge it and say we are doing well in certain spots. We got to find a way

to correct in practice next week and I am sure we will. Now we are playing an 0-2 Cherry Hill East team who we beat here many years ago and then they really spanked us at their place. It is a good matchup but we have to work hard for them. We have to look at the tape, they have big boys.” Goldberg, for his part, isn’t going to let the score on Saturday keep him from making a big effort against Cherry Hill East. “It was stay in it, don’t hang your head,” said Goldberg. “We have a game next week against Cherry Hill. We have go into it refreshed, relaxed and ready to play.” —Bill Alden

Although the Princeton H igh g irls’ ten n is te a m started its 2021 season with a tough 3-2 loss to Hightstown last Wednesday, Sarah Hibbert believes the early setback could be a blessing in disguise. “It was disappointing the way it ended, the girls all gave it their all,” said PHS head coach Hibbert, whose team rebounded from the opening day loss to defeat Hamilton 5-0 last Friday. “We worked as hard as we could and unfortunately the last ball didn’t bounce our way. Hopefully it will give a little extra motivation for the rest of the season, it is alright, we didn’t start off the way we wanted to but we still got a lot of tennis to play.” Hibbert is getting some good tennis from sophomore Eva Lependorf at first singles, who has moved into the top spot after her classmate Shaila Iyer, last year’s No. 1, decided to pursue her own training and won’t be with the squad this season. “Eva opened up fantastically; she had a great opening win over Hightstown, 1 and 0, it was really convincing,” said Hibbert. “She is hitting the ball with a little more confidence, she is hitting the ball harder, She has an extra year of experience and confidence. She is absolutely

ready to step into that first singles position.” Lependorf’s older sister, senior standout Bella, has stepped into the second singles position. “Bella has been in the varsity lineup for four years now; she started in doubles as a freshman and then moved to second singles as a sophomore,” said Hibbert. “With her sister and Shaila coming in last year, she moved down to third but had an undefeated season. I think she was initially a little disappointed but then was able to be the rock for us there and go undefeated. She is moving the ball well around the court. She has increased the pace but she also increased her patience, there is a level of maturity now.” At third singles, freshman Lada Labas, is getting up to speed. “Lada came in with really strong groundstrokes and has been playing for many years,” said Hibbert of Labas who lost a tough three-setter in the match with Hightstown. “She t rains a lot and works really hard. She is willing to run hard for everything and just give her best. Once she gets more comfortable with her position in the lineup and more used to high school tennis, she will do well. She really held her own in that first match. She really fought hard and gave

it her all to play three sets and work so hard.” A pair of seniors, Lucia Marckioni and Sophia Kim, give the Tigers a wealth of experience at the first doubles position as they have been playing together for four years, having been at first doubles on JV as freshmen and then moving up to first doubles on varsity as sophomores. “In the match on Wednesday, they had a little bit of a shaky second set but they were able to turn it around and use t he exper ience they have as a pairing to pull out third set,” said Hibbert of Marckioni and Kim, who prevailed 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 over Hightstown’s Siya Buddhadev and Laora Normand in the season opener. “They have the chemistry and they have the communication. It is just making sure that day in, day out they are playing they best tennis because with two people out on court, it is harder. Somebody might have an off day, and it is how do you get through that as a team. They are pretty comparable in their styles, they both play net and groundstrokes. As seniors, they really want to have a great season.” At second doubles, senior Monica Li and junior Ashley Chen, are looking for a great season as well. “They played together on JV two years ago so they have some history together, they do get along well,” said Hibber t of the pair who rallied to force a third set against Hightstown but ended up losing the match. “It is just finalizing some partnership things and getting the experience playing together in tough situations with the pressure. They rallied to force the third set against Hightstown. It was a tough first match because we got rained out of two the week before so they hadn’t really gotten a chance to get out on court and get their feet under them. Then we start off against Hightstown which has been a tough team for us. Until two years ago, we hadn’t beaten them in five years.” With PHS playing at Robbinsville on September 17 before starting action in the Mercer County Tournament on September 20 at Mercer County Park, Hibbert believes her team will rise to the occasion in the county competition. “It is always fun to go to the counties; it is nice for them as well that they can get a shot to prove what they can do on their own,” said Hibbert of the tourney which features the five individual flights with team standings based on points accumulated in those matches. “You are part of a team and that is always important. But it is really nice for some of them to get a chance if they are on a weaker team to shine on their own. If you are the bottom of a really strong team and you don’t always get the press, you can shine for yourself. All of your points contribute to the team. The girls all just want to do as well as they can. We have four seniors on the team this year. It means a lot to them, they want to have a great senior year. You go out each day and try to play your best tennis and hope for the best.” —Bill Alden

Thomsen Taking Helm of PDS Boys’ Soccer, Bringing a Special Bloodline in the Game Soccer is in Brian Thomsen’s blood. “My grandfather actually came over from Glasgow to play semi-professional soccer back in the 1960s,” said Thomsen, 31, a native of Brick, N.J. “He has been over here ever since. My dad and my uncle played together on the same club team growing up. My dad played at Southern Connecticut State. My uncle played at Loyola and he played professionally. My brother just retired from playing professionally down in Richmond with the Richmond Kickers. We have a soccer family.” Thomsen, for his part, starred at Monsignor Donovan High in Toms River before playing at Northeastern University for two years and then transferring to Stockton University for his final two seasons of college soccer. Getting into coaching in 2015, he has served as the director of operations for Next Level Soccer Academy, director of programs for Washington Crossing FC Select, as an assistant men’s coach at The College of New Jersey, and the head coach of the Real Central NJ women’s program. Now he is bringing that background and experience in the game to the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team, taking the helm of the program after previous head coach Ollie Hilliker stepped down last fall. “I felt it was a really good opportunity for me to build a prog ram in a college prep-like environment that was different from a public school,” said Thomsen. “It gave me what I was used to on the soccer side which was that these kids have good facilities, they have good academics, and they have good opportunities from school. There was a lot of support behind the program and athletics at the school.” Thomsen is bringing a win-now approach to the program, which went 6-51 last fall in an abbreviated season. “The mentality is let’s not look at this as a rebuilding year, we want to go after it,” said Thomsen, whose team is off to a 1-1 start, having defeated Morristown-Beard 3-2 on September 8 before falling 4-3 in overtime to Hightstown last Monday. “I want to give the guys who are seniors a year to remember. I want to give the guys that are younger than them, the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, the opportunity to see what it is like to be in the grind every single day and try to attack this head on. We all play to win.” At forward, Thomsen is looking for a pair of seniors, Milan Shah and William Vasquez, to provide some firepower. “Milan has been involved in the varsity program for the last couple of years and he has been a really big part of it,” said Thomsen. “He seems hungry in preseason. Watching him in preseason with his urge to go forward, I want him to be the guy that creates the offsetting matchup. He scored both of the goals against

Franklin in our scrimmage. He looks like he wants to put the ball in the back of the net so that is going to be helpful. Vasquez is a big talent. He is very technically gifted and has an eye on one-v-one attacking. What we are going to look to do this year is to figure out how we can we get him in isolated scenarios where he can take players on.” The PDS midfield features a trio of superb players in junior Joaquin Rodriguez, freshman Todd Devin, and senior John Ramos. “Joaquin is our center attacking midfielder; he is very talented,” said Thomsen. “He has a good head on his shoulders and a good work rate. He has that professional mindset. He is at training every day, putting in the work. He is coachable and wants to be good for the team and himself. Behind him sitting deep in the midfield you will have Todd, who is very talented and is going to be a huge part of the next four years. John, in my opinion, is the most underrated player in the county this year. I think he is going to surprise a lot of people. He does all of the hard work for his team.” On defense, senior Connor Topping, senior Zach Law, junior Shay Bhens, and junior Raag Desikan should be providing some good work. “Our outside back spots are up in the air a little bit, we will have Connor, he is a good athlete, he plays basketball,” said Thomsen. “On the other side we are playing with Zach. The two center backs will be Shay and Raag. I really pushed them this last week because the center back spot is not a spot that you are going to be subbing that much.” In the goalie spot, junior John Mazzarisi is emerging as a standout. “I am happy that we will have consistent goalkeeping for the next two years,” said Thomsen.

“From what I have seen and what I have heard, it sounds like he has made major improvement. I think shot-stopping is a really big strength for him. I would like to see him hold the box a little more and take some free kicks, His one-v-one save ability is very good as well. Like every young goalkeeper, he has got to start being the voice of the defense.” In order to make some noise this fall, PDS has to show mental strength whenever it takes the pitch. “We have got to have a competitive mentality in every game we play, no matter who we are playing against,” ad de d T hom s e n, whos e team plays at Pennington on September 15 before hosting Hamilton West on September 17. “It doesn’t matter if we are playing somebody better than us or worse than us, we need to have a competitive mentality. If you don’t have that, you are going to be in a situation where we are going to make mistakes.” While the Panthers are bound to make some mistakes, they can’t get hung up on negative moments. “We have to have a willingness to play together, I think that is a huge part of high school soccer,” said Thomsen. “The more talented teams don’t always win. From what I have seen and what I have been a part of, the teams that play together, move together, fight for each other, the family type environments, are the ones that win the most. We also need to be enjoying the ride with each other. I have noticed with college and high school athletics how an environment and a team can go downhill so quick just because of one thing that happened. There are a lot of things that can steer a season away from where it should be. We are going to talk a lot about the what’s next mentality, which is how fast can we move on from mistakes.” —Bill Alden

We have solid, solid players in every position.” The Raiders boast three solid players at for ward in senior Olivia D’Aulerio, sophomore Tessa Falcone, and sophomore Mackenzie Turner. “We are super excited that Olivia will have more help up top, we are really going to try to use her speed because she is so fast,” said Barrett of the trio who each scored a goal along with junior Lauren Soler as Hun defeated Moorestown Friends 4-1 last Monday to improve to 1-1. “Tessa and MacKenzie are both high-level experienced club players so they will be able to feed her the ball and they have a nose for the goal also.”

In the midfield, junior Riley Hayes, sophomore Olivia Spektor, and freshman Julia Espinosa should give Hun some high-level play. “With Riley, her footwork and her game sense stand out,” said Barrett. “Her speed of play is excellent and her soccer knowledge is amazing. With Spektor, her size is great. She has an amazing shot that she can easily take from outside the 18. She is also super-fast, she is going to be a good offensive threat. Espinosa is very technical. She is a very smart player and she can distribute through the middle.” Junior Toni Olaleye, senior Kiki Maurer, and sophomore Gabby Rollins will be leading the way along the Raider back line. “We are going to have Toni in the back, she is amazing,” said Barrett. “I am also probably going to have Kiki in the back. She can also play midfield. Those two are a consistent part of the team. They are the most coachable, unselfish players and you can play them wherever you want them to

play. I also have Gabby Rollins back there.” At goalie, sophomore Zoey Palmer is back at full strength after dealing with a hurt wrist last fall. “Zoey is looking as good as ever, she has recovered from her injury,” said Barrett. “She is amazing. She is really great with her feet, she could easily be a starting field player. She is going to be our anchor back there in goal, she is great with her hands. She is an extremely hard worker. She really wants to get better every single day, she is always looking for feedback.” In Barrett’s view, Hun can have a great season if it can augment the talent on hand with a positive mindset. “Everyone gets along very well, we have great team chemistry,” said Barrett, whose squad plays at Princeton Day School on September 15 before hosting Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on September 18 and North Hunterdon High on September 20. “Everyone has common goals of being the best that we are capable of being. I think for us to be successful, it is just using our strengths and working together as a team.” —Bill Alden

Determined to Turn Close Losses into Victories, Hun Field Hockey Relying on Special Senior Group Although the Hun School f ield hockey team went 1-6 last fall, Tracey Arndt believes that the program made some important strides despite the record. “There is so much more than what they have been showing on the score line,” said Hun head coach Arndt, who is in her third season at the helm of the program. “In my first year, we were losing games 6-0, 4-0, whatever and last year, although we only played three teams, there were one-goal games. There is the progress that we have been focusing on and not the product. They are recognizing that they have skill and they have potential and they have ability to be successful.” Arndt views her senior group as a key factor in producing a successful fall. “They have been great, they have been through so much, all of the seniors have,” said Arndt, whose Class of 2022 includes Olivia Gall, Lynssi Italia, Ashley Jones, Nicole Schaefer, Nora Shea, Lexi Thomas, and Aletheia Watts. “They got a new coach as sophomores and had that transition. We have one year and then COVID hits so they had to go through all of that. I do think time at home while apart did bring us together. I think they are really mature. We got to know each other a little bit more there, we got to understand each other a little bit better. They are very different in terms of their hockey but what is really special about them is that they all work really hard and they all care about each other very deeply.” Two of those seniors, Italia and Schaefer, should spark the Hun attack. “They have done a nice job this year, they understand it is their last year and they have stepped up in a positive role,” said Arndt, who will also be using junior Mia Chiodo at forward. “We have asked them to have a really high work rate. On my forward line, I end up subbing out more than the other lines because I want them to do a lot of running to get open. They have been showing some good progress.” In the midfield, senior Jones, junior Mallory Smith and a pair of sophomores, Olivia Kim and Ava Olender, have been showing progress. “They both held dow n the center of the field really well last year and have worked really well together,” said Arndt, whose midfield unit will also include freshman Phoebe Thielmann and sophomore Maya Zahlan. “They are both versatile. While we may have them in the center now, both of them know they can go wherever the game takes them. Ol-

ivia and Ava are incoming sophomores who have been doing nice things for us in the midfield as well.” On defense, junior Sammy Kandel, junior Abby O’Brien, and sophomore Lian Che along with seniors Watts and Gall will be holding the fort. “Sammy has been a starter for us since her freshman year, right now we look to her to be on the right side of the field,” said Arndt. “She is very athletic and she is very coachable so that has been great. She is improving with every minute she is playing. We have Abby holding down the center of the field on defense. It was her first year last year and she just has a lot of poise and maturity. We will look to her to lead that backfield. Alethia and Olivia lead from wherever they are with their hard work. Lian has got some club hockey experience as well.” The Raiders boast a pair of experienced goalies in senior Thomas and sophomore Norah Kempson. “Lexi is our senior and she really is an amazing young woman,” said Arndt. “She has been doing a nice job for us and she is also an ambassador for the school. Nora came in as a freshman last year and she is doing some nice things. They work well together. Based on the game situation and who we might be playing, we will be relying on both of them.” Making the most of every

situation is a key point of emphasis for the Raiders. “We have monthly goals, we have some September goals ; we break it down even further to our quarters and halves and winning the moments when we can,” said Arndt, whose team defeated Conwell-Egan (Pa.) 4-0 last Monday to improve to 1-1 and will play at Hillsborough High on September 15, host Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on September 18, and then play at Stuart Country Day on September 21. “One goal for us certainly is to be better finishers. While we have had really strong defenses the last couple of years, we haven’t been able to put goals on the scoreboard the way we wanted. That has been a focus of ours but doing it as a team. It is really a lot of team offense and a lot of team defense. We are going to be a passing team that plays defense as a team and not individuals. We are not going to rely on one person as we sometimes have in the past to dribble as far as they can. We want everybody to be a contributor.” Utilizing those principles, Arndt is confident that the Raiders can turn those close losses into wins this fall. “We focus on our process and how hard we work at practice; we are committed to working so hard at practice that the games become easy,” said Arndt. “If we can focus on that, the product will come. They are ready for it, they deserve it. They have been on the other side of things.” —Bill Alden

In 2019, the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team enjoyed a stirring postseason run, advancing to the final of the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B semis. Last fall, Stuart was deprived of a chance to build on that tournament success as both the MCT and Prep competitions were canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. As the Tartans prepared for the 2021 campaign, they were excited about the prospects of resuming postseason action this fall. “The first thing I would say is that we are totally looking forward to the opportunity to play in the state and country tournament,” said longtime Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik, who guided the Tartans to a 5-31 record in the abbreviated 2020 campaign. “That builds that excitement. Those tournaments are back and we are going to have a chance to participate.” Bruvik is excited about her corps of seniors which includes Kaitlyn Magnani, Keya Patel, Sanya Khullar, Audrey Blandford, and Lauren Gracias. “The senior leadership has been great, they have been leading the way at practice,” said Bruvik. “A couple of my seniors are also peer leaders which is really exciting because they are already making

connections with the freshmen in the classrooms and the hallways.” Junior star Lily Harlan is primed to lead the way on attack for the Tartans. “I have got Lily on the forward line because not only can she find the back of the cage, she finds the space,” said Bruvik of Harlan, who scored three goals as Stuart defeated Pemberton 6-0 last Monday to improve to 3-0. “We will utilize her on both the offensive and defensive corners this year. She just continues to take her game to another level. She is so passionate about the game and brings that to every practice.” In addition to Harlan, Stuart boasts a number of passionate athletes at forward. “We should also see a junior who is out for the team for the first time in Emily Ix, who also plays lacrosse and basketball,” said Bruvik, whose options on the forward line include junior Madisen Leggett, junior Peighton Dwellingham, senior Khullar, sophomore Isabel Milley, freshman Nyla Flamer, and freshman Annarose Bourgoin St. Maurice. “She will see time on the forward line, she is picking the game up quickly. She is a super self-motivated athlete.” In the midfield, senior standout Magnani should provide some super moments this fall for the Tartans.

“Kaitlyn just leads by her work ethic and her decisionmaking on the field,” said Bruvik, who is also looking at Ix, Milley, senior Gracias, sophomore Alex Mandzij, and sophomore Elise Price in the midfield. “She is a very smart player in the midfield who can distribute the ball but also can finish. We will be using her on our offensive and defensive corners.” Along the back line, Bruvik is counting on senior Patel and junior Mia Zebrauskas to provide some smart play. “Kaya should be leading and communicating with our other kids in the back,” said Bruvik, whose defensive unit will also feature junior Abby S nyder, f re sh ma n Maya Dev, and freshman Linyah Lokesh. “She will be playing in the center in the back. Mia can play anywhere in the back and also contribute in the midfield. Her stickwork is looking great, she is smart and strong on the ball. Battle-tested senior goalie Blandford will be looking for a big final campaign “Audrey is playing well, she is just taking the experience from the last two years,” said Bruvik, whose backup goalie is freshman Emily Harlan, Lily’s little sister. “Audrey is a really good teammate working with Emily, who is also playing club. We are really excited to have her.” Heading into the season, Bruvik was focused on getting everybody on the same page. “We are still trying to find the balance between our experienced players and the kids new to the program,” said Bruvik. “We are trying to figure out who is playing what position, mixing and matching the veteran players

and the newcomers to work together, to play together.” Looking ahead, Bruvik believes that things will come together. “The kids feel confident in our offensive plays and our corners and confident in the defensive end of the field,” said Bruvik, whose squad w ill look to keep on the winning track as it plays at Princeton Day

School on September 15, hos t s B ordentow n H igh on September 17, plays at Hamilton High on September 20, and then hosts the Hun School on September 21. “We have a ver y good b a l a n c e . We h a v e t h e experience in all three areas of the field.” Having experienced tournament success two years ago, Stuart’s one-two punch

of veteran stars Magnani and Harlan gives the Tartans confidence that they can do damage again once the postseason rolls around this fall. “This is their third year playing together,” said Bruvik. “They have had that tournament experience and hopefully it will pay off this year.” —Bill Alden

Arthur Leslie Arrison Arthur L. Arrison, a p ion e e r Ch r i s t m as t r e e farmer in Princeton and Newtown, Pa., went home to be with his heavenly father on July 12, 2021. Arthur battled COPD and hear t complications with loving care in Lake Placid, N.Y., for many years. Arthur was born in Trenton, N.J., on February 6, 1956 to Carl and Kay Phillips. He had a t w in brother, Philip; a brother, Carl; two sisters, Diann and Brenda; and many nieces and nephews. He married his sweetheart, Dena, in 1985 and was a proud and loving father to his two sons, Christopher and James. He had a daughter, Nicolette Danielle Arrison, by a prior marriage in St. Louis, Mo. A r t hur proud ly joine d the U.S. Army, where he excelled highly for six years and was discharged with honors after serving in Korea and Nor th Carolina. He returned home and married Dena, and they purchased a 21-acre farm from the Reed family at 4200 Mercer Road in Princeton. The family planted thousands of tree seedlings in the barren fields, and started a Christmas tree farm consisting of spruce, pine, fir, and hemlocks. Ar thur believed in far m preservation to fight climate change, and maintained beautiful open space to save the farm from any future development of condos, townhouses, or apartments. Arthur will be remembered as being a steward of land and often said, “Leave no farm behind.” Arthur was very generous to the Princeton community, and gave back by saving trees, caring for trees and shrubs, and also planting hundreds of spr uce and pine t rees in P r inceton neighborhoods for 27 years. In addition, he started a firewood business in the winter months — he recycled wood by removing diseased or dead large oak trees on the farm and worked hard all year long in order to prepare for winter sales of firewood to the Nassau Inn and neighbors with his two sons and a beagle named Mason. Recycling the wood was a way to avoid turning it into mulch, and to keep Princeton fireplaces toasty during the holidays. In the summer months on the farm he planned and planted a huge vegetable garden with his sons. He also taught them how to farm crops and care for the farm for a self-sustainable way of life. He purchased s e e d l i n g s e v e r y y e a r, fixed barn w indows and

H e p l ay e d l e a d e r s h i p roles on a number of major projects, including d o r m i to r i e s a t R u tg e r s University, Ramapo College, and Fordham University. After the enormous satisfaction of completing t h e M e r r i t t To w e r skyscraper in Baltimore, he declared that he could never go back to designing “squatty little buildings.” He capped his career with the exuberant New Jersey State Aquarium in Camden and the headquar ters of GlaxoSmithKline in London — now a familiar landmark on the route to Heathrow A i r p or t. H i s c owor ke r s fond ly rec all h is as t ute mentoring and creativity, and teased him about his perpetually scrounging for change for the office Coke machine. Bright, curious, and openminded, Len enjoyed good conversation, Monty Python, and the New York Mets. An inveterate traveler, Len and Anne made many trips to Europe and especially enjoyed train travel and cruises. Len also amused himself by painting detailed digital portraits that placed the beloved faces of family members into old master paintings, with such finesse that his grandchildren are continually surprised when they encounter the originals. Len is survived by his wife, his two daughters, and their spouses and children, along with his sister, two nieces and two nephews, and their spouses and families. His mo der n hous e on Cedar Lane in Princeton, imaginatively designed and largely constructed by him, still stands and remains in the family.

Obituaries Continued from Preceding Page

Margarete Leah Linton Margarete “Leah” (Deutch) Linton fled Nazi-controlled Austria as a young teenager, broke female stereotypes working men’s jobs in her 20s, helped start a kibbutz in Israel, and became a beloved nurser y teacher for decades in the Trenton, NJ, area. She passed on Tu e s d ay, S e p te m b e r 7, 2021 in Southbur y, CT, after a courageous battle with cancer. She had just turned 96, and to the very end, she maintained her legendary and contagious sense of humor. W hile universally seen as a strong, loving, and suppor tive wife, mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother, she remained a trailblazer, a community pillar and inspiration to all whose lives she touched. According to Jewish tradition, her passing on the High Holy Day of Rosh Has ha na h de e m s h er a “tzadik,” or “person of great righteousness,” which she

indeed was throughout her storied life. Having escaped Vienna, Austria, with her mother for the United States as a young teen in 1939 and hav ing lost many family members, includ ing her father, in the Holocaust, those experiences shaped her self-prescribed mission: to bring the phrase “Never Forget,” to life and spend a lifetime educating citizens about the dangers of hate. Thus, she freely shared her experiences in person and online about the dislocations and terror she experienced as a young girl with thousands of students in Connecticut and elsewhere, as well as prov iding an oral history to the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., and speaking to the Connecticut State Legislature on Holocaust Remembrance Day at the request of the Governor. In 2017 at age 91, Leah and her daughter, Leslie Linton, celebrated a joint bat mitzvah at B’Nai Israel in Southbury, where she was an active congregant, the first bat mitzvah for both of them. “Thirteen represented a terrible time in my life, in our world,” she said during her bat mitzvah speech. “I am here today for the millions of girls who were killed during those years and were never able to even dream of a bat mitzvah.” Yet despite the trauma she experienced, Leah was incredibly optimistic and funny, an inveterate joke teller with a quick wit that was never used to denigrate anyone but herself. As a former resident of

Preferred by the

Lawrence Township, NJ, Leah was the favorite nursery schoolteacher of thousands of children who attended Herzl Zion Hebrew School in Trenton (later the Abrams Hebrew Academy in Yardley, PA) and to the end she maintained connections with many of her students, who are now in their 60s and 70s. Leah and her husband Ted, upon his retirement f r o m P r i n c e to n P l a s m a Labs, moved to Los Alamos, NM, where he continued work on scientific projects. They later returned to settle in Southbury, ultimately to the Watermark retirement community. After Ted passed in 2006, Leah became an even more active member of that community, where she was universally loved and acted as an unofficial m ayor a n d a m b a s s a d or for prospective residents. She also founded a writer’s circle, another passion of hers, and loved her time participating in drum circles and other activities. Leah was a believer in the independence of women. “I have always had strong views on women’s equality,” she also said in her bat m it z v a h sp e e ch, not i ng that as a young woman, “I went out of my way to prove women can do anything men can do.” So it made perfect sense that L eah pushed the envelope for women, whether as the first woman upholsterer in a New York upholsterer’s local union or the first woman hired as a tree trimmer at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. Even before these jobs, she was a founding member of Kibbutz S as a i n Upp er G a l i le e, Israel. Leah will be deeply missed by her children, Dav id ( Hope ) L inton of Lawrenceville and Leslie L inton ( Br uce ) of Colts Neck, N.J.; grandchildren Jaime Bunn (Matt), Adam Whitten, Josh Linton, and Dana Whitten; and greatgrandchildren Tyler and Z ach ar y B u n n. L e a h i s predeceased by her loving husband, Ted Linton. Memorial contributions can be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
