“That concert helped me through all of that,” she said. “And music has been a lifeline, in many ways, since then. I had another surgery this past winter. As I was re covering and the world was coming out of the pandemic, that relationship to music became all the more vibrant. Joshua Roman came to my hospital room during that time, and played Bach for me. It just took me away. And I’m much better now.”
There is scientific evi dence that music can have a profound effect on physi cal and mental healing. Returning to the concert hall after the pandemic, planners of Princeton Uni versity Concerts (PUC) had that evidence — plus many personal stories — in mind

I found a book about Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court Justice, and a book about World War I soldiers who are telling their stories of the war almost ninety years after it had ended.”
Sarah: “I’m an elementary teacher so I picked up two culturally competent picture books for my students and my classroom.”
Ambika: “I picked up a few romance novels that I’ve been recently intrigued by. I also got some books on mental and physical wellness.”

Future series will touch on several topics. “This is a multi-year project, and we want to explore mental health, political healing, racial healing — the possi bilities are endless,” she said. “We’re talking about human nature and what it means to be alive when we have music in our lives. We could have planned this series at any time. But coming back from the pandemic, we really want to help audiences navigate that. Yes, they are listening to musicians’ stories. But we’re all in this together.”

Tash recommended parking in a garage or well lit area, if possible; installing a bright motion-sensor security light on your home or a video camera; installing a vibration detection alarm device on your car; or installing a catalytic converter anti-theft device, which is available from various manufacturers. Etching your license plate number onto the catalytic converter can also help to discourage thieves or to make the part identifiable to law enforcement personnel if the part is recovered. In some cases the theft is covered by insurance, though the owner is responsible for paying the deductible amount.Tashpointed out that catalytic converter theft is not just a Princeton issue. “It’s happening everywhere,” he said. He added that the PPD is actively investigating the thefts and working with other agencies and area police departments to collaborate and share information.

Pedestrian distraction by technology, in an area heavily trav eled by young people, should make the case for creating a highly visible, marked pedestrian crosswalk at Jefferson and Wiggins.
To the Editor:
On behalf of the board of trustees, many thanks to the lead ership, staff, board, and volunteers of the Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) for the absolutely amazing event on September 15 to celebrate PSRC and to honor Norman Klath and Stark and Stark Attorneys at Law. Thank you to everyone who attended and thank you for your generosity — PSRC could not accomplish all it does and could not plan for even more and greater programming and services in the future without you!
Letters to the Editor may be submitted, preferably by email, to editor@towntopics.com, or by post to Town Topics, PO Box 125, Kingston, N.J. 08528. Letters submitted via mail must have a valid signature.

Honey also taught us how to face life’s challenges. She taught us fidelity. As a young widow with five children, she remained true to her husband’s memory. Honey was both self-effacing and fiercely independent. Her faith was strong and her belief in everyone else’s faith was just as strong. She would walk the three miles to synagogue, but if she became fatigued, she might stop into the Methodist church to pray.

Congratulations to the Individual and Corporate Honorees, Norman Klath and Stark and Stark Attorneys at Law, two most deserving honorees. Norm has been an active PSRC board member and leader, generous supporter, and avid participant with PSRC for many years. Norm’s generosity allowed PSRC to jump-start its capital campaign for the Lifelong Learning Center. Norm’s late wife, Nancy, was a strong advocate of lifelong learning, and our new building is fittingly named on herStarkbehalf.and Stark has been an annual sponsor of PSRC since it began its annual sponsorship program. The sup port of this firm, both financially and with strong volunteer leadership, has been instrumental in PSRC’s continued suc cess.
Through the auspices of the Princeton Senior Resource Cen ter “GrandPals” program, Honey read to kindergarten through second graders, four days a week, for 12 years (until age 93!). The children adored Honey and her stories. With her laughter and that of the children, Honey brought the books to life. Honey was also a dedicated volunteer at PSRC, assisting people in the front office, assembling brunch baskets for the annual Brunch at Home fundraiser, and helping to organize annual holiday events. She defined herself through work and service.

I see young people, especially, crossing there. I myself cross there occasionally, if there is no traffic at the mo ment on Wiggins.
Town Topics welcomes letters to the Editor, preferably on subjects related to Princeton. Letters must have a valid street address (only the street name will be printed with the writer’s name). Priority will be given to letters that are received for publication no later than Monday noon for publication in that week’s Wednesday edition.

I agree with Brenda Battat’s request in last week’s Town Topics Mailbox [September 14] that there should be a marked crosswalk at the corner of Jefferson Road and Wiggins Street.
Letters must be no longer than 500 words and have no more than four signatures.
This event was, for the 200 who attended, a reminder of the impact that PSRC has through its focus on building com munity, making connections, lifelong learning, and providing support. We saw in action how PSRC strives and succeeds to help older adults thrive. We were reminded of how PSRC “turned on a dime” to provide virtual programming and sup port during COVID. PSRC has served over 5,500 participants and is a welcoming and inclusive place with something for everyone, whether you’re 55 or 105, and whether you are in Princeton, Trenton, Yardley, or Florida!
This T intersection is heavily utilized by pedestrians. Many are students wearing earphones and using phones. These devices may prevent pedestrians from hearing approaching automo biles. In 2019, Science News suggested an association between distraction by phone usage while walking and a recent tripling of pedestrian injuries.
It is a busy road and extends several miles to what used to be the Township.

To the Editor:
This event was an opportunity to gather together for the first time since the onset of COVID and to showcase the amazing new PSRC facility, the Nancy S. Klath Center for Lifelong Learning on Poor Farm Road, Princeton.
This year, on March 6, we lost a wonderful and special per son. Honey Rosenberg was beloved by generations of people in this community. After a career as a teacher and director of a nursery school in New York City, Honey joined the Henry Street Settlement where she supported immigrant families while they learned language and coping skills. She lived on Princeton’s Bank Street for 30 years. When it was time to work closer to home, Honey walked to Talbots where she worked for 15 years.
Since this seems to be a legal request, better to play it safe. Let’s get out the white paint and do DORISit.JeffersonRICHARDSRoad
Honey loved to travel. She played the banjo and even took a stand-up comedy class. Her quips and one-liners always brought smiles. She kept a kosher kitchen and celebrated the holidays with huge gatherings of family. Honey’s door was always open, with a pot of coffee and homemade baked goods. Honey’s baking was inspired and extraordinary. Everything she baked was infused with her love and joy of bringing pleasure to others. Honey scattered kindness in so many ways. We will continue to remember how she touched all of our lives.
I agree completely with my Jefferson Road neighbor, Brenda Battat, who pointed out the need for crosswalk markings at the busy intersection of Jefferson Road and Wiggins Street in the September 14 Town Topics Mailbox.
There are too many people to thank individually for the success of this event, but we would like to name a few: Drew Dyson, CEO; the board of trustees; Lisa Adler, CDO, and the development team; Donna Cosgrove, COO, and the program team and volunteers; Sharon Hurley and the social services team; Kathy Whelan, director of communications; and the technology and administrative teams.

After finishing Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead , I read Stoppard’s Rock’n’Roll (2006), in which his alter ego Jan, a journalist in Prague, tells Max, the “last Communist in England,” how happy he was when he had his own column. Asked what he wrote about, he says, “Anything I liked. It was a question of which way to be useful. It’s not useful to be a critic of what’s over and done. I was a critic of the future.” Except that when he refused to sign the loyalty pledge, he was demoted to “the kitchen.”
As audiences listen with Jan to the voice of the drama’s real-life hero, who died during Rock’n’Roll ’s 2006 run, Marxist Max “explodes.” He hates the music (“I never heard anything so pathetic”) and tells Jan to “do everybody a favor and go

explanation.”Forthat,you
At this point in the conversation, Jan is distracted by a gift of music from Max’s daughter Esme -- Syd Barrett’s first solo album The Madcap Laughs , with a message from Esme written on the sleeve -- “Now do you believe me?” As a reader, I’m immediately reminded of Pink Floyd’s first American record, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, which opens with one of the most deliriously engaging songs of the period, founding member Barrett’s “See Emily Play,” where Emily (sounds like Esme) “floats on a river forever and ever.” Esme’s question refers to Rock’n’Roll ’ s fantastical opening scene in which “The Piper is heard” playing and singing for her, a 16-year-old “flower child of the period: 1968.” Briefly unmindful of Max’s presence, Jan puts the record on the turntable and listens to “Golden Hair,” the song the Piper sang to Esme (“Lean out your window, Golden Hair / I hear you singing in the midnight air”); he’s deeply absorbed, probably remembering his last night in Cambridge three years before, when Esme gave him the gift of her virginity.
Besides doing nothing with the studio footage, which is much of the time truly boring, Godard occasionally rudely imposes a voiceover from the same hack novel of sex and intrigue (“You’re my kind of girl, Rita. I’m crazy about you”) heard throughout the film. Meanwhile Black Panthers are reciting Black Power dogma from Eldridge Cleaver in an autosalvage junkyard of cars that look like leftovers from the carnage of Weekend , Godard’s road rage apocalypse from the previous year.
look off stage -- to 1968 or 2006 or September 22, 2022, when Sir Tom Stoppard will be at the Stewart Theatre in Princeton talking with Paul Muldoon about “Art-making in a Vexed Era.”
We do onstage the things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit being an entrance to somewhere else.
There’s no love and very little rock in Godard’s One Plus One/Sympathy for the Devil. The director’s motive for slugging the producer was all about Iain Quarrier’s decision to title the film after the song and add a complete version at the end for viewers frustrated by the work-in-progress studio scenes, where a great song loses a touch of its magic every time Mick Jagger tiredly tries out the opening line, “Please allow me to introduce myself.”
The closest thing to a lyrical moment is provided by Godard’s then-wife Anna Wiazemsky’s maidenly stroll through a woodsy park as “Eve Democracy” with a handheld camera crew at her back while a man asks contrived questions like “Do you think drugs are a spiritual form of gambling?” She’s charming to behold as she walks about, comely, lovely, girlish in a pale yellow dress, a true maiden, stepping lightly, gracefully this way and that, answering softly, gently, “yes” and “no” to dated statements about Vietnam and the death of Kennedy, and whether the devil is God in exile. You get a hint of Democracy’s fate when her interrogator says “On LSD you begin to die,” and “You take the order of your own death on such a trip,” to which she answers “yes,” both times and soon after settles down in the grass, her hands in her lap, the essence of a pastoral maiden, but she might as well be kneeling, head bowed, waiting for Godard’s executioner. In the last shot of One Plus One , she’s Eve Democracy, hers the white-sheeted bloodied body being lofted skyward by an immense crane. After the voiceover says, “This was all a waste of time,” the Stones come on the soundtrack, free at last, men “of wealth and fame” taking care of business on Sympathy for the Devil, the producer’s version.

All For Love
When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern discover that execution awaits them in England, Rosencrantz says, “Who’d have thought we were so important?” and Guildenstern wonders “Who are we that so much should converge on our little deaths...To be told so little -- to such an end -- and still, finally, to be denied an
On and Off Stage with Stoppard and Godard
Call it what you will, a coup or a scoop, it took a world of cunning and more than a little literary ability to become the first playwright to claim the untold story between and behind the lines of two of the most fascinating and well-spoken minor characters in Shakespeare (although Gilbert and Sullivan had a shot in 1892 with a farce that ends with Rosencrantz marrying Ophelia). Hamlet’s Wittenberg classmates are clearly on a higher theatrical level than sycophants such as Osric of Elsinore (“Dost know this water-fly?”), who are mercilessly mocked, or slain onstage, like Goneril’s servant Oswald, his last words (“oh untimely death”) recorded for all time in the closing seconds of the Beatles’ “I am the Walrus.” Besides holding their own bantering with Hamlet as “the indifferent children of the earth” who live in “the secret parts of fortune,” they put in play phrases like “the shadow of
Interviewed in the June 1968 Rolling Stone, Jagger said “Godard happened to catch us on two very good nights. He might have come every night for two weeks and just seen us looking at each other with blank faces ... sitting there looking bored [In fact, this is pretty much how it seems] So Godard saw the whole thing from beginning to end...It’s probably very boring to most people but when he’s finished cutting it, it will be great.”
The onstage/offstage lines are spoken by the one of the players visiting Elsinore in Sir Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Grove Press 1967). The notion of the play as a “scoop” came to mind as I read Maureen Dowd’s September 7 New York Times profile of Stoppard, which opens with the teenage journalist who “loved wearing a mackintosh and flashing his press pass, operating in the spirit of a British contemporary, Nicholas Tomalin, who wrote: ‘The only qualities essential for real success in journalism are ratlike cunning, a plausible manner, and a little literary ability.’ “
Stoppard’s Scoop

a dream” and “a shadow’s shadow” that suggest how much there is to be imagined or discovered offstage. Jump ahead four centuries and Stoppard’s Guildenstern is speaking of the “half-lit, half-alive dawn” wherein a man was “just a hat and a cloak levitating in the grey plume of his own breath.”
Godard Rolls the Stones
Stoppard’s Music
live in the West” where he belongs. Jan stops the record, but not without declaring his love for England, and as soon as Max leaves, he resumes listening. So central is music to the spirit of the play, it’s really always there anyway, and if you have YouTube at your fingertips, you can listen along; there’s a song for every scene and change of scene, bringing love, joy, power, poetry, and positive energy, from the first notes of “Golden Hair,” heard in a Cambridge garden, to the Beatles singing “Rock and Roll Music,” heard off-stage in 1990 on a “tinny casette player” near the Lennon Wall in Prague. The occasion is a concert by the Rolling Stones. When the band appears, “everyone stands up” as the “first guitar chords slash through the noise.”
hen the director Jean-Luc Godard died, an “assisted suicide,” five days after Queen Elizabeth’s monumental passing, I took a YouTube tour of the “most cinematic” images from his work. Accompanied by Georges Delarue’s warm, richly romantic soundtrack for Le mépris / Contempt (1963), the result was an uncharacteristically humane, borderline sentimental memorial for a director who set out to attack “all civilized values” in the 1968 Rolling Stones film One Plus One/Sympathy for the Devil. Godard’s version of doing “onstage the things that are supposed to happen off” was to punch the film’s English producer in the face onstage at the 1968 London Film Festival.
Discussing Rock’n’Roll with Maureen Dowd, Stoppard refers to a reviewer “who wrote that she started crying when the love story got together at the end, just in time. I was aware that I was more pleased by that than any number of people telling me that I was too clever by half or intellectual. In fact, the reason I liked it so much was that I was two-thirds of the way through writing it before I began to understand that there was a love story in it. I’m very much in favor of love.”

In addition to the productions, Kelsey offers creative theater classes on Saturday mornings for pre-K through 6th grade during the school year, points out Getlik. “In the summer, we will have the 50th anniversary of Tomato Patch Workshops — the longest-running and most successful multidisciplinary summer program in theater, dance, vocal music, visual arts, and video in central New Jersey.”
She also points out that audition opportunities for actors are available, and also positions for lighting, sound, and set design.

Princeton Football Overcomes Sloppy Start In Opener, Excelling on Both Sides of the Ball to Beat Stetson 39-14
The Tiger defensive line ex celled, controlling the trenches as Stetson was held to -10 yards rushing.
“I thought we did a good job, putting their quarterback under pressure,” said Surace.
“The guys that come from there are very polished with their maturity, knowing how to
t is a tried-and-true princi ple of football that a team makes its biggest improve ment from game one to game two.As the Princeton University football team opened its 2022 season at Stetson last Saturday in DeLand, Fla., it sped up the process, displaying improve ment within the contest.
“I thought Blake had a great pocket presence; when the play dictated a deeper throw, we hit a couple of those and he got the ball down the field,” said“WhenSurace.the play dictated get ting the ball into the flat and letting JoJo [Hawkins], Andrei [Iosivas] and Dylan [Classi] and the running backs run with the ball after a catch, he did that. He was really composed. For any quarterback that is the challenge when you haven’t been hit in practice. He did a really good job with his deci sion-making.”Seniorstarreceiver Iosivas, a preseason All-American, lived up to his billing with six recep tions for 84 yards and two touchdowns.“WhatIwas impressed with Andrei is how he has devel oped,” said Surace.
“He did a really good job in the passing game. When the opportunities came his way, he did a tremendous job. Watch ing the video, his blocking has improved tremendously. There were some things we did, get ting the ball to the running backs and the receivers and he really sprung some good plays. In the game, I am not watching his blocking, I am watching the touchdowns. You are drawn to the ball. I am watching the film when we got in last night and it was, whoa, this was a big step forAthim.”running back, freshman Ryan Butler, a Bergen Catho lic product, made a memorable debut, rushing for 67 yards and two TDs on seven carries and making two receptions for 20“Ryanyards. is coming from an elite program, he is polished,” said Surace of Butler who was later named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.

The emotions of opening day led to some jumpy play by the Tigers with some false starts.

and two touchdowns.
After a sloppy start which saw the Tigers fall behind 14-7 on a rain-soaked field at Spec Martin Municipal Stadium, the Tigers tightened up on defense and the offense got rolling as they pulled away to a 39-14 win.Princeton head coach Bob Surace acknowledged that his squad struggled at the outset with the damp conditions.
“On their second drive, there was a roughing the passer that was avoidable,” said Surace.

“They really settled in, they really did a good job with their discipline after the first 15 plays. I was really, really pleased with how we improved. I don’t think they had a longer series until the last series when we let the clock run out when we were playing a soft zone.”
“Thetest.final scores aren’t indicative of how well they played,” said Surace of Lehigh.

“We had a couple of things we could have gotten off the field on and we didn’t. On the third drive, they got the ball back after a turnover and they hit us with a nice play action. We weren’t disciplined on the backGettingend.” the opening day kinks out from that point on, the defense led the charge as Princeton got into a groove and ended up dominating the Hatters.“Wewere in a great mode, we were off the field in three plays,” said Surace.
“We go through camp, we probably run about 10 plays a day in five or six practices during the week and if we have one false start in those 600 plays, that is a lot. I don’t know if we had three false starts in the entire camp and our defense is running blitzes andThemoves.”Tiger defense also got burned in the early going as Stetson scored on touchdown passes of 60 and 49 yards to forge ahead 14-7 early in the second quarter.
“I thought those guys re ally stood out, I thought we were steady across the board. We played a number of guys. Defensively we were rotating almost every series. I thought that helped us with Florida’s humidity and everything else.”
“I have been following their head guy (Tom Gilmore) for a long time, I don’t think he has ever had a team that wasn’t physical. They are always go ing to be strong-minded, they are always going to be tough. I don’t think there is any team that coach Gilmore has coached that didn’t play hard.”

OPEN THROTTLE: Princeton University football player John Volker races upfield in a 2021 game. Last Saturday, sophomore running back Volker rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown as Princeton defeated Stetson 39-14 in its season opener. Princeton is hosting Lehigh (1-2) on September 24 in its home opener.

“It was pouring, there were so many mishandled balls on both sides where they made an error,” said Surace.
“It is Florida, you have to be prepared. They had towels for the balls and you rotate four balls in the first half. By the second half, you are catching medicine balls.”
Surace was pleased with how his squad’s inexperienced defensive back seven came to gether.“All seven guys were new I thought their communication was great,” said Surace.
“They were amped up, we had a few too many uncharac teristic penalties,” said Surace.
some collisions that lead to penalties but all eight of them were unnecessary. There are things we can handle better, like false starts and roughing the passer. It is the worst kick off coverage overall we have had (as Stetson returned six kickoffs for 147 yards). Our kickoff coverage has led the nation or has been second for like the last six years. For us to get ripped in kickoff coverage wasLookingtough.”ahead to the clash with the Mountain Hawks (12) this Saturday, Surace knows that the Tigers are facing a tough
The scoreboard said otherwise. The Tigers suffered a 3-1 loss at Fairfield to follow up an incredible team effort that led to a 2-1 win at Penn State the week earlier.
“We have our last two games in the lacrosse stadium this week, and then we move into our stadium, which everyone is really excited about,” said Barlow.

The first two goals by Fairfield came off restarts and their third came on a counterattack after a Princeton corner kick, one of numerous scoring chances that the Tigers created. Princeton has gotten better through the early season at creating chances, and is hoping to finish more of them in the upcoming stretch. Princeton fired seven more shots than did Fairfield and held a 9-1 edge in corner kicks.
Barlow. “At the end of the Fairfield game, we had four defenders and a goalkeeper who have all had a ton of time were off with either injury or illness. So we have to get healthy. Especially in the back, that’s been something that’s been a big priority to get our guys all to the point where we can figure out what the best lineup is based on how guys are playing, not based on who’s available that day.”

goals that we felt like you just can’t concede if you expect to win a college soccer game,” said Barlow.
It will help when the Tigers have their full complement of players. Princeton hasn’t played at full strength yet, and in particular they were down some key pieces in the second half against Fairfield.“Oneof the things is we have to get healthy,” said

“There are certain parts of our game that haven’t progressed enough, especially defending the restarts.”
“When you look at the data analytics from that game, the expected goals were two goals more than Fairfield, but we still ended up losing. From that standpoint, it’s been a little bit frustrating.”Princetonopened the season with a 1-1 tie against Rutgers, then fell to Vermont, 2-0, despite outshooting the Catamounts, 16-8.

“I feel like we are a deep team,” said Barlow. “From game to game, the lineup may change depending on what we think it will take to win that game and what qualities we need. The first-year guys have come in and made an impact right away, even the guys that haven’t gotten on the field are close to getting on the fi eld. The depth has been a real benefit to us. I think most teams, if they lose that many guys early in the season, would be getting outplayed and we don’t think that’s the case with us.”

“I think we’ve been pretty inconsistent through the first four games,” said Princeton head coach Jim Barlow after falling to 1-2-1 heading into Tuesday’s scheduled game against Loyola.
“It was a great win against Penn State,” said Barlow. “It would be hard to single anyone out against Penn State because everyone just worked so hard for that result. Against Fairfield, especially in the second half, we felt it was a really good team effort. The middle of the midfield was really strong. In the second half, it was a first-year Gabe Duchovny playing behind Malik Pinto and James Wangsness. Those guys had a really good stretch where they controlled the game and helped set up a lot of chances.”Barlow has seen the team start to generate more opportunities, and that bodes well for their upcoming schedule if they finish better.“We had a really good stretch in the second half, about 25 minutes against Fairfield was probably our best stretch of the year,” said“WeBarlow.were just all over them and getting good chances. We hit the crossbar, their keeper made a couple good saves, we had another couple that went over.”Fairfield had fewer chances but capitalized on their pressure. Princeton gave up an own goal but Fairfield returned the favor to tie the score. The Stags scored the next two goals of the game for the win when the Tigers couldn’t find the equalizing
“Jack Jasinski has played in several spots. He’s played in the middle of the midfield, he’s played up front, he’s played wide. He created a lot of our better chances against Fairfield, and he’s been a really solid first-year. Gabriel Duchovny has come off the bench and done a really good job as a deep midfielder. Sam Vigilante and Daniel Ittycheria have already gotten minutes as first-year guys and done pretty well with them.”
Serving the Princeton community for over 80 years, and we will continue to serve you another 80 years and more.
“Up front we’ve just been snakebit with the last piece of putting it away,” said Barlow.“But Daniel Diaz Bonilla, Walker Gillespie, Jack Jasinski, all created a lot of chances in that game. Ryan Clare had another solid game. We feel like the score against Fairfield doesn’t say enough about the way things have been going. We think we’re headed in the right direction.”Princeton still has another pair of non-league games after its Loyola contest before opening Ivy League play at Dartmouth. Princeton hosts Rider in a local showdown on September 23 in Class of 1952 Stadium, its final game there before moving into renovated Roberts Stadium for the remainder of the year. The Tigers are also slated to play at St. John’s on September 27.
“We’re getting there, but with such a short preseason and only one scrimmage, it’s so hard,” said Barlow.
“You got through this beginning part of the season where you don’t really know your team yet. Against Rutgers we felt like we were throwing darts a bit to see what would work because we just hadn’t had an opportunity to play in games yet other than the one scrimmage date. We’re still putting pieces together and learning more. Some guys came into camp with a little bit of an injury and are starting to get healthy. We’re trying to learn about those guys as well. It’s clear that it’s a very good, deep group, but it’s not clear how it’s all going to come together.”
The first four games have given the Tigers a mixed bag in terms of results, but Princeton has been uplifted by the way it is developing in some areas. Once the team is healthier and defending restart situations with more urgency, the Tigers feel good about their potential in a highly competitive Ivy League.“The encouraging signs are our ball movement has gotten better,” said Barlow.

As Princeton builds to full strength, they are relying on veterans to keep the team focused and heading in the right direction. The Tigers have five All-Ivy League players back from last year’s Ivy championship team.

“Our ability to get forward with some urgency has gotten better. Our defending up the field has been pretty good lately where we’re keeping teams pinned in and not letting them out. And I think we’re a good team. That doesn’t guarantee that you’re going to win games, but there’s a lot of good starting points with this group.”

“When you look at the stats of the Fairfield game, it was arguably our best game in terms of time of possession in their end and chances created,” said Barlow.
“Giuliano (Fravolini) Whitchurch has been really solid and he’s dealt with a couple injuries already, but we know he’s going to be a really important defender for us,” said Barlow.

GOOD RUN: Princeton High field hockey player Delaney Keegan, right, marks a player in a game last season. Last Wednesday, junior midfielder Keegan had a goal and two assists to help PHS defeat Allentown 4-0. The Tigers, who improved to 4-0 with a 6-0 win over Ewing last Monday, play at WW/P-South on September 21, host Robbinsville on September 23, and play at Steinert on September 27.
In Keegan’s view, PHS has been figuring things out.
“I think they were playing really, really good defense; they gave us a run to show us what aggression is and how we need to come back at them more,” said Keegan.
“The way we are connecting, that is our big thing,” said“OnceServerson.wecan connect, we can do anything as long as we are doing it up and down the field as a unit. As soon as we start to really figure out that part of the game out, I think we are going to be really hard to stop.”
PHS Field Hockey Looking Formidable at 4-0
Delaney Keegan was a bit frustrated as the Princeton High field hockey team dominated possession in the early going against Allentown last Wednesday but had nothing to show for it.
“It was just being stronger on the ball and being more effective on the ball too.”
“That was really nice,” said Keegan. “Once we read the goalie ( Kylie Elefante ), we started to realize that we shouldn’t go right into her. She was really good.”
“It takes us like five to 10 minutes to actually start connecting with each other but once we do it is like spot on,” said Serverson. “It is beautiful to watch.”

“I am really, really happy with the way we are connecting so far,” said Keegan,
As her role has evolved on the team, Keegan is looking to do a little bit of everything for the Tigers.
“At the beginning, everyone was playing a little bit off,” said junior standout Keegan. “At the start of the game we are just trying to get into the mood.”
“We are working on mixing the two layers with forwards and mid and defense. We are also working on that front goal passing and tipping. We have come to notice that as we move it across goal more, there are open shots and less room for hitting it into the goalie’s pads or any of that.”
Displaying some aggression, Keegan blasted home her goal with 13:46 left in regulation to cap off the scoring on the day.

Serverson acknowledged that PHS took a while to get going against Allentown, she liked how things came together.
Keegan helped break the ice, setting up Hannah Christopher as she scored with 1:18 left in the first quarter to give PHS a 1-0 lead.“Once we got into it, I think it was using each other, effectively passing and communicating, not even with screaming,” said Keegan.
“I think we picked that up very quickly from the loss of a lot of our players last year from our starting lineup. We have some new players coming up which is really good. We have realized that it is more effective to pass and work together as a team.”
Keegan acknowledged that Allentown pushed the Tigers, forcing them fight harder in the circle.
Despite producing some beautiful moments, PHS has room for growth.
“It was just with signals and looking up, that really, really helped us out.”

“It is definitely continuing to build that chemistry and getting that soccer IQ up, knowing where the passes have to go. I think we are unique in the fact that we do pass it around. I think in that final third, it is getting more players in the box and getting aggressive.

I think we have a really strong bond this year, we want to give it to other players. We want to give players a chance to score. It is not about the stats, it is just about the program.”
“Grace is doing everything we hoped that she would; she is a senior leader setting the example,” said Pettit of Romano who chipped in an assist as PDS edged Lenape 2-1 last Monday to improve to 4-1.
“I am extremely happy, I think our one loss was a really well fought battle,” said Romano, referring to a 4-0 loss to Springside Chestnut Hill on September 10.

Last Saturday, Romano set a good example for the squad’s young players, tallying a goal and an assist to help PDS rally from a 1-0 first half deficit against Mount St. Mary to pull away to a 4-2 victory.
As PDS looks ahead to playing at Jonathan Dayton on September 22 and at the Blair Academy on September 24, Pettit wants his players to show more consistency.“Weare starting to show the potential, like in the opening 15 minutes of the second half,” said Pettit.
“That is what we talked about at halftime. We just needed to be first to the ball, that was really an emphasis. I think you could see that in the second half. Every goal was a different player. We just really wanted to play for each other and I think we did that really well.”

“We moved her central and she scored a nice goal and got an assist. She has already gotten quite a few goals and assist. She has probably got more assists this season than she did the entirety of last season already. She has been doing that from the corners and also coming down the wing, getting her head up and trying to play a pass which makes a difference rather than just dumping it into the box.”
With Ruf and Sophia Zhou tallying the other goals in
“It was really just digging in and playing our game, just playing the whole game through,” said Romano, who scored a goal with 4:20 left in the first half on an assist from Adriana Salzano to knot the game at 1-1 heading into intermission.
“I just wanted to get it in quick and it was either Kirsten [Ruf] and Adriana put their hand up. I knew where I wanted it to go and it ended up going to Jules. We talked about that at practice, just capitalizing on that. It was having that hunger and wanting that ball, that is what really got it in.”
“We can look at that on video and compare it to the last 15 minutes of the first half and say here is what it is. We did that for 15 minutes and that is probably the best we have done it all season. Hopefully, we can do it for 20 or 25 minutes and get more and more people involved in it and good things happen. There are lots of positives to build on.”
To its credit, Mount St. Mary answered back with a goal midway through the second half to narrow the gap to 3-2. Minutes later, PDS responded as senior star Ruf blasted a long free kick over the goalie’s head into the back of the net.
“We got caught out with another long ball and then it was a game of OK, how is it going to go, are we going to grow back into it,” said Pettit.“Luckily for us, Kirsten hit that rocket from distance which killed the game. It was a bit scrappy from that pointPettiton.”credits Romano with raising her game this fall.
Playing with junior teammate Salzano is a joy for Romano.“Dreand I play together on club, I feel like we have that chemistry on the field,” said Romano, who competes for the PDA South club team along with Salzano.
“Jules scored her first goal, it was a nice goal. Her touches on the ball were very good. Ella [McLaren] alongside her has been doing very well. It is building and we have to keep that kind of momentum going.”
In Romano’s view, that trust has helped PDS get off to a good start this season.
“I thought the opening 15-20 minutes of the second half was really, really good,” said Pettit.
“It has been really great, this is an awesome preparation for college,” said senior forward and co-captain Romano who has committed to attend Vassar College and play for its women’s soccer team.“Itis nice to sit back and give players a chance to see where they were when I was in their shoes. It is really building them up, it is great to be in a position to put them in success.”
Early in the second half, Romano helped PDS forge ahead 2-1 as she fired a corner kick into the box and that was converted into a goal by freshman Juliana Hartman.“Wetalk about setting up kids and trying to get them goal,” said Romano.
“The pressing was relentless, the positional sense was really good. We had four or five options off the ball, they couldn’t really hang with us. We scored a couple of good goals and we had a couple of other good chances that would have really killed the game off.”

“The score wasn’t representative of how well we played and how well we fought. That was a really early test. This was mental test, that was a mental test. I think that will benefit us once we start getting into tournament and harder games.”PDShead coach Chris Pettit liked how well his squad played in the opening stages of the second half as it dominated possession, generating several chances and going ahead 3-1.
The squad’s young players have been making a difference as well
Grace Romano has evolved into a senior leader for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team and is enjoying imparting her wisdom to her younger teammates.

“We played some really tough schools, we have had a very front-loaded tough schedule. I feel like we re ally, really worked hard and I was hoping that they get a victory just to build that confidence.”Gettinga hard-earned victory over a scrappy Stu art squad is a confidence builder.“Itis a good rivalry, they played well,” said Farlow. “I have nothing but respect for Missy [Bruvik] and her coaching staff. They do such a nice job. She has like 16 girls and they are always tough.”InHuff’s view, PDS can produce a nice season if it maintains the intensity it displayed against Stuart.
“We just need to take this energy into the next game and don’t stop here,” said Huff.“We all know was it feels like to lose and we are only going up from here.”

The Raiders, who improved to 2-0 with the win, play at the Princeton Day School on September 22, at the Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on September 24, and at Robbinsville on Sep tember 27.
“As the game goes on, ev erybody has to be relied on to do their job. Once they can get their job done and they feel even more confident, it is going to be good. I know that this team with the hard work and connectedness can compete with anybody. Who knows what will happen. They have been working hard in the off-season, they have been do ing the right things so I just want them to trust themselves. I see what they can do and I just want them to see it too.”
Farlow is hoping that the win over Stuart will change the complexion of the sea son for the Panthers.

“We were able to connect before the season even started with the new players.”
“We rely on her so much on the back, but she really has the fire to be the best she can be. That hand-eye coordination from lacrosse has really paid dividends for her.”
With PDS having start ed the season with three straight losses, Huff is hop ing that the dramatic victory over Stuart will be a turning point.

Kelly Christie inserted the ball to Huff and she blasted it into the back of the cage to give the Panthers a 1-0 win.“I remember what the coach said and kept my head down because on the last corner, I had my chest up and the ball went right over,” said Huff.
Huff Comes Through in the Clutch with OT Goal
After not scoring in the sec ond and third quarter against HoVal, the Raiders dominat ed possession in the fourth period, generating a number of penalty corners with Abby O’Brien converting one of them for the final goal of the contest.“Westarted off really strong and went down a little bit,” said Chiodo, who handles the inserts for Hun on the corners.

Hun head coach Tracey Arndt liked the way her team came out of the gate against HoVal.“We have set goals for the season, we have some longer term ones and some shorter term ones,” said Arndt.
“Her vantage points and leadership has been good. She knows what we are doing. She has seen the hard work that has got us here so I think that she helps the younger ones un derstand it doesn’t just come without hard work. She is trusting her skills.”
“She is a really good team player, she has really good skill but doesn’t have to be flashy with it. That is what we need. Ana has been a great addition to the school and the team. She just works really hard, that is all we want.”
“I felt like we were getting better each quarter, each game,” said Huff. “Today, everything came together how we planned.”
“Right now we have Logan and Alexa in there with Mia, trying to find the best connec tion. We can spread the field out, we want them to make those runs. What they are no ticing is that the longer runs might not give them the ball, but it gives the ball to someone else who can score. We used to be lateral with our move ments, now we are trying to stretch it out.”
Senior Sammy Kandel has teamed up with O’Brien to shore up the Hun back line.
Chiodo acknowledged that her tally wasn’t a thing of beauty.“Itwas really busy in the goal and I just snuck in there,” said Chiodo with a smile.
“I think just connecting in general,” said Chiodo. “In the preseason we got to connect really well. I think just having no negativity on the team and all positivity has been a help.”
“I came here sophomore year, my mom knew coach Arndt,” said Chiodo.
“We needed this. I feel like it is going to set us up for success later down the line.”
Arndt likes the trust she is seeing at the offensive end. “I am happy that we are mak ing connections and happy that we are working hard and playing our game,” said Arndt.

“We started out hard; we had a lot of tough games in the beginning so we used this game as an opportunity to set us forward,” said Huff.
“We just had to cross over all of the passing lanes so that everyone, not just Lily, wasn’t able to get the ball. We weren’t just focused on one person, it was the entire team that we were worried about.”ForHuff, being a team captain has been a great ex perience. “It is a privilege, I enjoy it,” said Huff. “I love all of these girls, they are like sisters to me. We have lots of laughs, we have lots of jokes. It is really fun.”

PDS head coach Heather Farlow feels privileged to have had Huff join the pro gram four years ago.
“It is a big deal. We have got a couple of new players and we are starting to work together a lot better this year.”
“Sammy is our only senior who has been here all four years so she has really seen
“We have some young girls who have never played varsi ty before so it is just getting them that experience,” said Farlow, whose team hosts the Hun School on Septem ber 22 and Pennington on September 27.

Despite some frustrating losses, the Panthers were not fazed by the 0-3 start.
“One of them is to win the first quarter. If you can win the first quarter, you have set a precedent. Anything can happen but if you can win the first quarter, hopefully you set a tone for the game. When we play our game and not adjust to anyone else, we can re ally play as a team. That has
Mia Chiodo got things off to a good start for the Hun School field hockey team as it hosted Hopewell Valley last Thursday.Inthefirst minute of the contest, senior co-captain and forward Chiodo stuck her nose into a traffic jam in the circle and poked the ball into the cage to give Hun a 1-0 lead.
The goal set the tone as Hun jumped out to a 3-0 lead 12 minutes into the contest and never looked back on the way to a 4-0 victory over the Bull dogs.“We kind of clicked, we brought together our three forwards,” said Chiodo, who was playing on a forward line along with fellow senior Logan Frith and junior Alexa Cavalli.
“We have never really played together before, we are in a rotation. The three forwards that we have starting worked really well together so that is why she puts us first.”

“Finishing was a struggle for us in the past. If you want to play attack and you want to win a game, you have to be a finisher, you have to be hungry for the goal. We are focused on 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 and not focused on winning all of September or all of our games. It may not be conceivable but we can win the quarter.”

On defense, senior O’Brien is giving Hun some great work. “Abby has been just a really great teammate for us, she has been a great leader for us,” said Arndt of O’Brien, who also stars in lacrosse and has committed to admissions process at Stevens Institute of Technology to play for its women’s lax program.
“I kept my head down and trusted my abilities and it went right
Chiodo, for her part, is look ing to go out with a bang in her final campaign for Hun.
The fun started for the Raid ers over the summer when they put in extra work prepar ing for the season.
“Junior year was really fun, I met some good people. Senior year, we came in and we want to make it the best year pos sible. I think we are going to go far this year.”
“I think these games are just going to make us better and better for the tournament games in the Prep A and the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL), things like that.”Although Hun has taken some lumps in the early going, Barrett wants her players to keep the faith.
“What I want them to take is that they are amazing players as individuals and as a team, and they just need to connect that and believe in themselves,” said“WeBarrett.wantto play the best teams, that is what we want to do and learn from everything we have.

“I would like to see more communication and more cashing in on opportunities. There was great effort and perseverance by both teams today. We will keep working, it is early.”
“Tooni is absolutely amazing; what I love about Tooni is that she leaves everything on the field and she gives 100 percent every single second,” said Barrett.
Hun head coach Jenn Barrett credits Olaleye with assuming a huge role this fall.
While disappointed with the result, Bruvik believes that getting the first taste
“She has all the intangibles, I can put her anywhere. She plays defense for us but she plays forward for her other team.”

I wanted to make sure that they understood things; we are having some reality checks coming off last season,” says Barrett, whose team plays at the Germantown Academy (Pa.) on September 21 and at the Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) on September 24 before hosting the Pennington on September 27.
“We knew it would be a tough one, we knew it would be a game,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik, noting that even though PDS brought a 0-3 record into the contest meant nothing.
“This is our first overtime and it takes experience,” said Bruvik.
[Rollins] did a good job sticking on her, shutting her down. We did the best we could in the back.”
With Hun a work in progress, Barrett hopes her team will learn some lessons from the loss on Monday.

The Tartan defense stood tall against PDS with sophomore goalie Emily Harlan making seven saves.
“Emily, she made some great saves, but also credit our defense for getting the ball off of her pads and out of the circle,” said Bruvik.
Trailing 2-0 at half, Hun looked to tighten things up down the stretch.
“In the losses, sometimes another team is better. We are really good; I believe in us for the rest of the season.”

Since he had been born under the sign of Pisces, it was inevitable that fish would play a ma jor part of his life. However, since there was no college nearby that offered those credentials to him, he went to City College as a chemis try major. Sam was born and brought up in the Bronx, to his parents, immigrants from Poland (Warsaw), who owned a small Appetizing and Nut Shop that was a family business.

One of the reasons that Sam was able to enjoy his hobbies was because work was only 10 minutes away. At the Zoom party for his 100th birthday, he was asked, “Grandpa, what was the most important and happiest day in your life?” and he replied, “the day I retired from RCA so that I could go fishing whenever I wanted to.” He built much of the furniture in the house in his basement workshop, in cluding a solid walnut dining room table, freeform in a Na kashima style. He was also a landscaper and planned all the plantings for the house on Littlebrook Road. He had a vegetable garden and grew azaleas and rhododendrons in cold frames.

The fall real estate season is now underway and although nationally prices are starting to trend slightly lower, prices remain strong in the local NJ NY metro region.
Homes continue to sell faster locally compared to national markets. While nationally, homes are remaining on the market longer, in much of NJ, many homes are selling within a week and sometimes even in a day or two. Prospective buyers should still be ready to move quickly if they find a home they like, as competition is still in place. 609 577
