Last week marked the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Ida, which caused 30 deaths and an estimated $95 billion in damages in New Jersey. There was widespread flooding in the area, with more than nine inches of rain and many roadsToday,impassable.September 7, as the 2022 storm season makes its arrival known in Princeton, environmental leaders and elected officials are gathering in Manville for a press conference outside of a home that was badly damaged by last year’s storm. They will be urging Gov. Phil Murphy to take action to mitigate the effects of increased rainfall and ooding, which have been caused by climate change. Speakers are expected to emphasize the need to pass the New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Threats (NJPACT) initiative that would upgrade ood hazard and stormwater guidelines in order to better prepare the state for the impacts of climate change and powerful storms. NJPACT advocates will urge the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to adopt proposed but delayed new stormwater requirements and to use updated rainfall data. With this year’s hurricane season revving up, Princeton has worked to prepare for its next encounter with extreme weather conditions. “We’re doing well within the constraints of what state law will allow us to do,” said Princeton Councilman David Cohen, who will be speaking at the Manville conference. But he emphasized that because of state rules there is “a gaping hole in our regulations in Princeton right now.” State rules stipulate that local stormwater regulations cannot be enhanced above the state requirements for residential site improvements.Acknowledging the state’s efforts to address the housing shortage in New Jersey, Cohen added, “I’m somewhat sympathetic, but my feeling is that it’s shortsighted to say that municipalities can’t require enhanced stormwater rules for housing projects.” He pointed out that housing projects constitute about 90 percent of new housOfficials, Environmentalists Seek More Stringent Flood Mitigation Measures

Grosser said that the Princeton Health Department would be updating their vaccine clinic schedule as soon as they get word on when the new bivalent vaccines will be arriving. In the meantime, some area pharmacies, clinics, and doctors’ ofces will have boosters available. The new bivalent booster, which targets the original strain of the coronavirus as well the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, will replace the former booster shot for individuals over age 12. The new Moderna booster will be available for age 18
Jewish Center Exhibit Intended to Spark Reflection, Learning Designed to encourage examination of and re ection on our attitudes and biases, “Black + Jewish: Connection, Courage, Community,” an exhibit coming to The Jewish Center Princeton September 17 to October 31, explores the history of Black and Jewish relationships. Three talks accompany the exhibit. Created at the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University (in Kennesaw, Ga.), “the panels bring to light selected events in the long history of the American Jewish and African American communities in order to educate, provoke, raise questions, and prompt discussion,” said Linda Oppenheim, a community activist leading The Jewish Center’s planning team.
The Kennesaw exhibit was developed and curated by Adina Langer, who is from the Princeton area. The exhibit’s 10 panels cover European immigration and the Great Migration, the arts, education, World War II, violence against Jews and African Americans, the civil rights movement, and the current experience of African American Jews. Along with three accompanying lectures and supplementary
The material can be uncomfortable, she cautioned. “If some of the material makes the visitor uncomfortable, we hope that they will use that moment to step back and think about how information and images provided by media, school curricula, and other sources have in uenced the formation of their attitudes and biases and allow themselves to experience a different understanding,” she said.
COVID-19 rates continue to remain relatively low in the area, and hopes are high that the recently approved COVID booster that targets the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 strains of the virus will help to prevent outbreaks this fall. Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved new booster shots that combat the two subvariants that currently make up almost all COVID-19 cases. The new booster doses are already being distributed locally and across the country.

Families are invited to tour the Battlefield, talk to reenactors, watch military drills, and more, from 11:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. “We feel that every rising generation of young people in America needs a familiarity with the history of the Revolution and the principles underlying it,” said Todd Quackenbush, a trustee of the PBS and its communications chairman. “It’s important to know what people had to go through to set up the government we have right now. They need to know that it did not come easily, and it was not a guaranteed outcome. We need to stay on top of that.” An aerospace engineer, Quackenbush has been interested in military history since he was a child. “I had worked my way backwards from World War II and the Civil War to the American Revolution,” he said. “About seven years ago, I was visiting Gettysburg and my wife said to me, ‘You need to get involved.’ Princeton Battlefield was right here, and what a great opportunity to doYoungthat.”Patriots Day begins at 11:45 a.m. with a flagraising ceremony. Visitors can then watch the 3rd New Jersey Greys, a group of Revolutionary War reenactors, doing 18th century military drills. Demonstrations of cannon and musket-firing are“Thescheduled.kidscan be included in that,” said Quackenbush. “And we have two very good reenactors playing George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. They talk to the kids about what their roles were, and what life was like at the time. The folks who do this are remarkable. They can really bring it to life.” Because Princeton is an international community, it is especially important to tell the local story. “We get a lot of the children of those families,” said Quackenbush. “People don’t realize how much there is to see right around us, not just here, but at Washington Crossing, and about the 10 crucial days that led up to the Battle of Princeton. It was the hinge of the Revolution.” A new museum space is being prepared at the Thomas Clarke House, which was surrounded by fierce fighting during the Battle of Princeton. A plaque honoring General Hugh Mercer, who was mortally wounded nearby and carried to the Clarke House where he died nine days later, is scheduled to be dedicated during the day. Outside the historic house, docents will be on hand with lots to tell and display.“These are great folks who can talk about what life was TELLING

County has a relatively low number of cases compared to other parts of the state, particularly North Jersey, but as we have seen with other diseases those cases can migrate south in a quick, unpredictable way.” He added, “The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that disease surveillance contin ues to be the primary tool public health utilizes to ad equately respond to emerg ing diseases. The faster we can identify a case and or contacts of a case, the more effectively we can stomp out future disease spread.”
Ju dith Persichilli added, “With children back in school and the upcoming fall and winter holidays, the new bivalent vaccine will give New Jer seyans additional protec tions against these highly transmissible subvariants.” More than 800 sites in New Jersey are expected to have bivalent booster doses soon, with locations offering the boosters on the COVID-19 Vaccine Finder and Communi ty Calendar at covid19.nj.gov In reflecting on this week’s return to school and the prospects for keeping the COVID-19 spread low in spite of relaxed restrictions, Grosser cited CDC and NJ DOH protocols. He empha sized “following personal responsibility for protecting oneself while reviewing what is happening on a local/re gionalAlthoughlevel.” the focus on mask mandates, testing, and long isolation periods has diminished, Grosser noted that these preventa tive public health measures will continue to assist in the case of clustered outbreaks in classrooms or school buildings.“Theupdated guidance from the CDC and the New Jersey Department of Health did increase focus on the importance of vac cination and school/class room ventilation,” he said. “The new guidance also is steering towards widespread notification of potential dis ease exposure (similar to how flu and other illnesses are handled in the school environment) and less on specific student or faculty contact tracing.”

December 16 to January 15. The Jewish Center plan ning committee has ex panded on the material and brought in local connections. “These rich histories can not be fully contained in 10 panels,” said Oppenheim, so the team created additional information and questions for visitors to engage with, found on laminated information sheets next to the panels. “The lynching panel fo cuses on Leo Frank, although lynching was predominantly violence visited on African Americans. We have ar ranged for one of the jars of soil from the one documented lynching site in New Jersey — of Samuel Johnson on March 5, 1886 in Eatontown — that was dedicated on June 19, 2022, to be on display as part of the exhibit. It wasn’t only in the South that there was violence against Black people,” Oppenheim noted. “Because Kennesaw is close to Atlanta, the exhibit has an Atlanta emphasis,” Oppenheim said. “We tried to add information from our personal experiences. One planner grew up in Atlanta and another lived in Mari etta where Leo Frank was lynched. The father of an other congregant, Miki Men delsohn, owned a clothing store in Fayetteville, N.C. Miki interviewed one of the African American employees in the store, a man, who in his career became head of human resources for a com pany, about his memories of working in the store and his relationship with Miki’s father.”Inthe last two years since George Floyd’s death, there have been reading and dis cussion groups at the syna gogue and in other area orga nizations, said Oppenheim. She hopes the exhibit will be taken in a broader context, and that the two rich histo ries will be seen not totally from a white perspective. Three lectures are planned for The Jewish Center ex hibit. In a Zoom lecture September 19, at 8 p.m., Marc Dollinger, professor of Jewish studies and social re sponsibility at San Francisco State University, will give a talk titled “1619, 1654, 2022: Jews, Race, and U.S. History.”Dollinger will share docu ments from his American Jewish History Primary Source Reader co-edited with Gary Zola, for “a candid, and probably difficult, jour ney through American Jew ish history exploring Jews and racism,” said Dollinger. “It is intended for groups ready to dive deep into the ways that white Jews have succeeded in America be cause of institutional racism. With our national reckoning on race, so many Ameri can Jews are reflecting on systemic racism and ways we may be able to help. We will think about how racism has informed what is means to ‘become American’ over time and place. Ultimately, we’ll take a new look at how we have remembered (or misremembered) the American Jewish past.” “I hope my talk will open people up to hear competing narratives,” Dollinger said. “One such narrative is that of Jews of color, who talk about the racism they experi ence when they go into white organizational spaces.” Dollinger holds the Rich ard and Rhoda Goldman En dowed Chair in Jewish Stud ies and Social Responsibility at San Francisco State Uni versity. He is author of four scholarly books in American Jewish history, most re cently Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing The Alliance in the 1960s, and lived in Princeton for a year as research fellow at Princ eton University’s Center for the Study of Religion. On Sunday, October 2, at 4 p.m., Langer, curator at the Kennesaw Museum of History and Holocaust Edu cation whose students put to gether the exhibit under her direction, will talk on Zoom about “Creating the Black + Jewish Exhibit.” She will give insight and details into how and why it came into being and be available to answer questions.Thethird speaker, on No vember 9 starting at 7 p.m., is the Hon. John Withers II, who was a high school classmate in South Korea of congregant Wilma Solomon. Withers will talk about his book, Balm in Gilead: A Sto ry from the War, in which he recounts his father’s experi ence in an all-Black quarter master company in Europe, during and immediately fol lowing World War II, which took in two young Jewish men, survivors of Dachau. Oppenheim pointed out that traditionally, Jews have been taught about heroes, “but questions remain: have white Jews succeeded be cause of white privilege, and has that blocked others from succeeding? We are broad ening the perspective. If we don’t do that the country can’t move forward.” The exhibit will be available for viewing at The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau Street, from September 17 to Octo ber 31, Tuesday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ex cept on Jewish holidays.

The Museum of History and Holocaust Education has produced exhibitions with grant funding from the Bre man Foundation of Atlanta, whose mission is, in part, to develop projects combatting antisemitism and promoting diversity.Theproject proposal ex plains that “both the CO VID-19 pandemic and the protests for racial justice following the police killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 have called attention to deep fissures in American society, systemic inequities especially reflected in the dif fering experiences of Black and white people in their encounters with institutions ranging from law enforce ment to medical care.” It is also important, the proposal notes, to recog nize that Black and Jewish identities may intersect. Per centages vary by study, but estimates range from six per cent to 13 percent of Jewish people identifying as “Jews ofLangercolor.” said she is “very excited to see the exhibition come to Princeton. My par ents have been members of the Princeton Jewish Center since the late 1980s, and I basically grew up there, at tending nursery school, hav ing my bat mitzvah there, and continuing through con firmation. I’m humbled by the enthusiasm and attention to detail with which Linda Oppenheim and the organiz ing team has approached the Princeton Jewish Center’s hosting of the exhibition, and I’m excited that it will also be on display at Adath Israel and Beth El.” The exhibit will be at Adath Israel Congregation in Law renceville November 1 to De cember 15, and Congrega tion Beth El in East Windsor
New Jersey health officials on September 5 reported declining COVID-19 case numbers and a transmission rate of 0.92, with a rate be low 1 indicating that each new case is generating fewer than one additional case. Mercer County is one of 11 New Jersey counties con sidered by the CDC to be at “medium risk” for COVID transmission. Three coun ties, down from 18 a month ago, are in the “high risk” category, and seven New Jersey counties are consid ered “low risk.” Monkeypox There also seems to be some good news, at least lo cally, in staving off the mon keypox virus, but Grosser noted that health officials are remaining vigilant.

Environmentalists continued from page one stormwater. We have neighborhoods in Princeton — along Princeton Pike, Gallup Road, Wheatsheaf Lane — that are slammed when you get a big storm.” Cohen cited a FEMA study that found that every dollar spent on resiliency investment saves six dollars on damage repair in the future. “So while I sympathize with developers who say it’s more expensive for us to do more elaborate, more aggressive stormwater management for our properties, the cost is actually much less,” he said. “It’s one of these no-brainers. You have to make the investment to save money in theMikefuture.”Pisauro, policy director of The Watershed Institute, which has been a leader in advocating for enhanced storm protection rules, described some of the problems brought on by climate change. “Storms are getting more intense and we are getting more of them,” he said. “Precipitation is increasing drastically and we know that the way we design our stormwater management systems they are way undersized. We calculate storms based on 106 years’ worth of data, and that data collection ended in 1999.” He went on to point out that not only has the amount of rainfall increased significantly since 1999, but so has the intensity of storms. “We normally assume that a storm occurs over a 24hour period,” he said. “It’s gradual, ramps up a little bit, then dissipates, sort of a bell curve-type situation. But what really is happening in many of our storms — Ida was a prime example, and Henri — we’ve had a couple of them in the past couple of years — you get these really intense storms that are very quick and they dump all the rain in an hour or two hours, not that gentle bell curvePisauroanymore.”warned that every development approved based on outdated data puts Princeton in jeopardy of flooding. “Developers are allowed to use these old standards that we know aren’t working,” he said. “That’s why we are so adamant that the governor needs to release the emergency NJPACT rules and get the rest of NJPACT out now, because every project the zoning board approves is baking in additional flooding in the future. We’re putting people in the future at risk because of our short-sightedness.”Pisauro acknowledged that developers will continue to resist additional regulations that will increase costs of development. “Developers may have to go back and rejigger a bit their development,” he said. “They may have to move it a bit farther from a stream, or enlarge or add an extra bioretention rain garden system, but the upshot is that Princeton won’t have to close roads. They won’t have to go back and rescue people who have been fl ooded on the roads. They won’t have to rebuild bridges that got washed away or roads that were destroyed because of flood water. Who should pay those costs, the people who are designing the system and should know better, or everyone else who’s now stuck with it?”
NJCH Director of Strategic Initiatives and poetry scholar Valerie Popp noted that, in addition to Shockley’s accomplishments as a poet, her work as a literary critic and teacher had “reshaped the world of Black literary and cultural studies, particularly the often-overlooked field of Black experimental poetry and poetics.” Shockley has also received the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, the Stephen Henderson Award, the Holmes National Poetry Prize, and a variety of fellowships and other honors. She is the poetry editor at Contemporary Literature and is the Zora Neale Hurston Distinguished Professor of English at TheRutgers.NJCH gala event will also feature a presentation of the inaugural Stanley N. Katz Prize for Excellence in Public Humanities, which “celebrates the best public humanities work taking place in New Jersey,” according to Berkowitz. Tickets for the NJCH gala — which will include a cocktail reception, seated dinner, and music, as well as a “humanities moment” with Shockley and the presentation of the Stanley N. Katz Prize — are available at njhumanities.org.
Shockley’s reading will be an ideal centerpiece for a celebration of the public humanities in the Garden State,” said NJCH Executive Director Carin Berkowitz. “Her poetry speaks powerfully to many of the issues — including history, culture, and justice — that the Council has sought to explore in our five decades of work. I’m certain our guests will find her words to be both beautiful and zerShockley’sthought-provoking.”2018Pulit-Prizefinalistpoetry collection, semiautomatic, is described by the Pulitzer website as “a brilliant leap of faith into the echoing abyss of language, part rap, part rant, part slam, part performance art, that leaves the reader unsettled, challenged — and bettered —by the poet’s words.” Her publisher, Wesleyan University Press, describes the collection as “poetry that acts as a fierce and loving resistance to vioShockley’s many books of poetry also include suddenly we ( forthcoming in March 2023) and the awardwinning the new black (2011).

Maya K. van Rossum, Delaware riverkeeper and leader of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, claims that environmentalists and developers have common goals. “I never understood the opposition of developers and business to protecting the fl oodplain, ensuring better development practices, using stormwater strategies that soak the water back into the ground rather than dumping it into the creek and onto our downstream neighbors,” she said.She continued, “When developers develop in the right place and in the right way where they work with nature and enhance nature then the evidence is solid that the development projects they create sell more quickly and sell at a higher price. People like to live near healthy ecosystems. That’s what people want, so it’s really in the developers best interests to do it in the right way.” The opposition of developers must be “short-sighted, or selfish, or simply uninformed,” she added, claiming, “There’s no way to justify opposition to doing it the right way when it comes to protecting people from flooding and flood damages, and protecting nature.” Van Rossum stated that New Jersey is not doing enough to protect flood plains from development. She explained that flood plains need to be free from structures so that they can act like a sponge and soak up fl ood waters rather than allow flood waters to flow to downstream roadways and neighbors.Murphy visited Hillsborough on September 1 to meet with other federal, state, and local offi cials to assess progress made in the year since Ida, and he noted that additional state and federal aid will be delivered to local NJPACTtotheandtions,Environmentalcommunities.organiza-municipalofficials,otherswillbekeepingpressureonthegovernorimplementtheemergencyassoonaspossible.

Although Chef Eric Wim mer’s personal touch is evi dent at The Blue Bears Spe cial Meals in the Princeton Shopping Center, he feels he is leaving it in good hands as he and his wife depart for France.Tohelp the staff transition, the bistro is closed this week and will reopen on Tuesday, September 13.

Arguing that AvalonBay at Princeton Shopping Center is Affordable Housing Done Wrong

Second Sunday Poetry Reading at Princeton Makes Princeton Makes, a Princeton-based artist cooperative, and Ragged Sky Press, a local publisher focused on poetry, will host a Second Sunday Poetry Reading on Sunday, September 11 at 4 p.m. It will take place at the Princeton Makes store in the Princeton Shopping Center. The September reading will feature Margaret Ray and Arlene Weiner. Their readings will be followed by an open mic available to up to 10 audience members who would like to read their original poetry.
To the Editor: Why are our elected officials portraying the new AvalonBay project at Princeton Shopping Center as affordable housing? With a mere 40 affordable units and 160 units designed to generate income for the already-profitable AvalonBay business, it is not affordable housing. It is the action of a large corporation consuming space and resources to achieve its own financial goals. Elm Court, Harriet Bryan House, Princeton Community Village, and the affordable units at Griggs Farm are examples of affordable housing. The contributions AvalonBay will make to upgrades of Grover Park and to the Municipal Sustainable Transportation Fund are a tiny (tax deductible) portion of the overall budget of the project; but the costs to our community in the form of increased expenditures for education, public safety, and social services will be a permanent burden. AvalonBay is not affordable housing done right. It is affordable housing done very wrong — for the benefit of a large corporation not any members of our community. We all deserve better.

The book highlights how Dulles’s progressive faith guided his ecumenical church service in the 1940s and his work as America’s leading diplomat in the 1950s.

The title We Don’t Know Ourselves resonates in the words, “pointing at us” whether you grew up in a suburb of Dublin or in southern Indiana, a faithful viewer of Have Gun right through the dark year 1963, when it ended its American run. In Ireland, the gun in the face evokes the Troubles, in the U.S., it’s pointing at Dallas, the Biltmore Hotel in L.A., Memphis, and on and on through the mass shootings of today.
A lthough Colm Tóibín is the featured reader in “The News from Dublin,” Friday’s Fund for Irish Studies event, the fact that he’s being introduced by Fintan O’Toole gave me this reading opportunity. For months now, my wife has been urging me to dig into We Don’t Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland (Liveright), so last week I took her copy from a small shelf of “keepers” and have been reading it ever since. Making Connections Connection is the operative word in We Don’t Know Ourselves. As the author puts it, “The desire for connection was given meaning by the reality that there was still something to connect to, traditions of music and singing and storytelling and language that had their own highly distinctive texture.” O’Toole makes his first connection in the first sentence of the first chapter, in which wedding photographs of his parents remind him “of a frontier town in an old western.” The film he has in mind is High Noon, where “a respectable wedding” is “threatened by the dangers of a frontier town.” Why were American westerns “vastly popular in Ireland”? Because “they probably seemed like social realism. In economic terms, Ireland was a vast cattle ranch with a few cities and a lot of small provincial towns attached.” A study on economic development conducted by a New York firm began with the line, “In the Irish economy, cattle is king.” O’Toole recalls: “In my childhood, it was not unusual to find a stray bullock grazing in the back garden.” His way of bringing everything together to make a point both playful and profound is evident in the conclusion of the chapter, “Comanche Country.” After contrasting the general perception of life in the country (“we were denizens of a no-man’s-land that was barely a place at all”) with the “grittiness and depth of history” in “the old city slums,” he writes: “But we drew our water instantly from taps and made it privately in a little indoor room with the door closed. That didn’t feel like Siberia, or the Wild West or Comanche country. It felt modern.”

Musical Energy O’Toole makes the rock connection in a chapter titled, “The Killer Chord.” Rock and Roll could already be felt in the subversive energy of his style, his sense of humor, his command of the stage, and of course his pride in knowing that Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy hailed from his neighborhood. During a trip to London, O’Toole, then 10, backed out of a chance to see the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park (“the place would be full of weirdos and hippies and drug addicts”). Four years later, he earned enough money to buy some clothes for himself. “I chose a pair of luscious purple seersucker trousers with thirty-two-inch flares, an orange shirt with huge white flowers blossoming all over it and a lurid green tie that was almost as wild as the flares. I couldn’t get over how beautiful I looked. I was not the child who had refused to go to the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park: I was a child of the universe.” Rock made the “stuff from the first Celtic Revival” seem “exciting again,” especially when O’Toole discovered the Celtic rock band Horslips, which was “somehow perfectly representative of where we were.” When they started playing, “they sounded not just normal, but a revelation of my own normality. Their yoking together of American rock and roll and Irish traditional music expressed exactly the way so many of us were living. And it was not a cacophony. It worked. They were able to hold it all together, to keep it going, to make it hum with energy. I loved them for this, absolutely and unconditionally.”O’Toole’schorus of connections can be heard again during a March 1972 concert attended by 20,000 people, where “Crumlin’s own stars” Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy performed, with the drums sounding like tom-toms as “Philo chanted Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Gal. It was a world away from anywhere we were, somewhere out on the Great Plains.”
“The Wild West” O’Toole’s home is introduced in the same chapter, which begins with a quote from Brendan Behan’s mother, a fellow resident of Crumlin, “which is right out of the city, on the slopes of the Dublin mountains.... It was like the Wild West.” While the author was growing up in Comanche country, American television brought the Cisco Kid galloping into the living room along with Paladin of Have Gun, Will Travel and Bat Masterson and his silver-tipped cane (“I used to sing the theme song to myself”), a connection I took a special interest in, thanks to the fiddle I inherited from my great-grandfather, who played in Masterson’s Dodge City band. Facing the Gun One of O’Toole’s most stunning gambits covers the title sequence of Have Gun, Will Travel, which opened “with a close-up of a holster with a design of a chess knight on the front. A hand reaches down, takes out the gun, pulls back the trigger and points the barrel straight at the viewer. The voiceover begins: ‘I’d like you to have look at this gun. The balance is excellent. This trigger responds to a pressure of one ounce. This gun was handcrafted to my specifications and I rarely draw it unless I mean to use it.’ “ The voiceover varied from episode to episode. First the in-your-face closeup of the gun and the no-nonsense voice of Paladin (Richard Boone): “Sit down gentlemen and sit still. I’ve come to order a coffi n for the first one of that you that makes a move.” The sequence was “mesmerizing.” This was “not Roy Rogers ... There was no face.... The voice was disembodied, mysterious, but unquestionable in its authority, like the voice of God. The light on the gun was pure and stark and beautiful, making the thing it illuminated a sacred object, at least as holy as the chalice the priest held up to be adored at Mass. It left no doubt that the hero was not even the darkly enigmatic Paladin ... It was the gun itself.” The show was a variation on the grailseeking knight errant of medieval romance, except that there was a twist. The Holy Grail was not being sought. It was there already, in that hand, pointing at us. The gun was the Holy Grail.”
The News From Dublin I took time out from We Don’t Know Ourselves to read Colm Tóibín’s stories “Silence” and “The Empty Family,” from the collection of the same name. When Tóibín was asked in a May 2018 Guardian interview to name a book he wished he’d written, he replied, “I often wish I were T.S. Eliot. I don’t think he suffered as much as people imagine he did. He lived to be old, was lucky in love late in life and he got to write Four Quartets. Not only do I wish I had written Four Quartets, but also I long to record them in Eliot’s voice, so grave and thoughtful and melancholy.” There’s a similar tone in Tóibín’s stories, a clear contrast to the performative immediacy of O’Toole’s Personal History. At the same time, the American theme O’Toole highlights is a component in “The Silence,” which is inspired by a quote from Henry James’s Notebooks, and “The Empty Family, which moves between the coast of Point Reyes in California and Rosslare Harbor in Ireland.
“We Don’t Know Ourselves”
BOOK REVIEW Connecting with Fintan O’Toole’s
The Kennedy Chapter After watching six seasons of Michael Hirst’s History Channel series Vikings , about the range raiders of the Wild North, it was fun to find a mention of the Norsemen in O’Toole’s sixth chapter, “The Dreamy Movement of the Stairs.” The occasion was President John F. Kennedy’s June 1963 arrival in Ireland, during which Irish President Eamon de Valera hailed JFK as a representative of “the great Kennedy clans” who “nineand-a-half centuries ago, not far from the spot on which we are standing, smashed the invader and broke the Norse power forever.” The style and spirit of O’Toole’s book is epitomized by the Kennedy chapter and its haunting title, which refers to the arrival of Ireland’s fi rst escalator at Roches Department store; in the words of the Evening Herald, “silent motors began to purr somewhere, and the dreamy movement of the stairs began.” By making a title of the phrase, O’Toole redeems the poetry in an image thrown into the world by an unnamed journalist, an image W.B. Yeats might have discovered in a reverie. In the same extraordinary chapter, O’Toole makes point after crossover point like a master pool player clearing the table, the conclusion delivered at JFK’s funeral, where 26 young Irish army cadets, some still in their teens, pay tribute at the grave: “a strange moment of world history: an American president buried with the honours of a foreign country’s patriot dead, a thing that had never happened before and hasn’t happened since.” O’Toole, who watched on television with the rest of the world, brings it home: “They bowed their heads, kept them down, then raised them again. Each movement was controlled, contained, precise. We were experts at obsequies. We knew, in this if not in much else, exactly where we stood.”

Girlchoir and Boychoir Tour Europe and Canada Following two years of largely virtual rehearsals and performances due to the pandemic, students at Westrick Music Academy have recently returned to singing together in person with other Performingchoirs.under the di rection of Artistic Director Lynnel Joy Jenkins, singers from Princeton Girlchoir’s Concert Choir, Cantores, and Ensemble gave con certs in venues throughout Montréal and Québec City, including the Basilica of Notre-Dame. Members of Princeton Boychoir, under the direction of Education Director Fred Meads, made their international debut as part of the Boychoir’s fifth anniversary season, collabo rating on concerts in Prague and Vienna. One of the high lights was a performance at Dvorak Hall, home of the Czech Philharmonic, under the baton of composer and conductor Rollo Dilworth. These young singers, from 12 to 18 years of age, expe rienced firsthand the power of music to bring people SINGING TOGETHER: Members of Princeton Boychoir, shown here, and Princeton Girlchoir of Westrick Music Academy recently performed in-person concerts in venues in Europe and Can ada after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. together from different cul tures and backgrounds. “On our last day in Eu rope, we sang a concert in St. Peter’s Church on the Ringstrasse,” said James C. Teti, a member of Princeton Boychoir Treble Choir and a student at St. Paul Catholic School. “At the beginning of the concert, there were few people in the church. By the end, there were over 150 people. The amazing thing is that almost all of them stayed. By the end of the concert, the pews in the church were full. Attendees filled the church from but tress to naive, even standing in the back to get a glimpse ourAishwaryaconcert.”Rao, a member of the Princeton Girlchoir Ensemble and a student at West Windsor Plainsboro High School South said, “This year’s international tour helped me open my eyes to the rich cultural di versity that makes up our world, as well as the com monalities between every country. Not only did I love touring Quebec because I got the chance to put my French skills to the test, but it helped me realize that across the world, everyone has similar passions and similar struggles. Our con certs showed me the power of music. People who didn’t know us came together to listen to us sing and then showered us with love and compliments after.” Jack Elliott, a member of Princeton Boychoir Young Men’s Ensemble and a stu dent at Hopewell Valley Cen tral High School, said, “We got to work with Dr. Rollo Dilworth, a brilliant conduc tor that taught the boys of our choir invaluable lessons. Another one of my favorite things about this tour, and the tour experience in gen eral, is meeting people from other choirs. I made friends with those in choirs from Washington, Florida, and New York, and I still talk to some to this day.” Both the Princeton Girlcho ir and Boychoir are programs of Westrick Music Academy.

When the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) opened its new Paul Robeson Center for the Arts in 2008, one of the very first people to vol unteer at the front desk was neighbor and artist Trudy Glucksberg. Every Thurs day, Glucksberg would walk up Wiggins Street from her home on Jefferson, brown lunch bag in hand, for her shift of answering the very busy phone at the ACP. She would settle in to take mes sages, transfer calls, greet guests, and read her New York Times if time allowed. For more than 12 years, Glucksberg was a consistent presence at the Arts Council. “Our staff was well in formed not only about who was calling, but also about world events as we would all be tempted to hang out for a few minutes with Trudy,” said ACP Artistic Director
In a series of conversations that bring guest artists to campus to discuss what they face in making art in the modern world, Paul Muldoon director of the Princeton Atelier, moderates a discussion with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan (A Visit from the Goon Squad, Manhattan Beach, The Candy House), and awardwinning interdisciplinary tap dance artist Michael J.

Maria Evans. “As she ate her sandwich, she would share travel articles or fash ion advice from the paper or tell us about her latest trip to Chicago or Maine to visit her children. Trudy was also a regular in our Monday night life drawing group, making many friends who would join her for dinner and partake in her famous Glucksbergsoups.”wasan accom plished artist, working as a graphic designer for the Princeton Press for many years. She was an active member of a printmaking class organized and taught by artist Judith K. Brodsky in the 1970s that went on to become a group of women master printmakers known as the Queenston Press, in cluding Maggie Johnson, Ma rie Sturken, Joan Needham, and many others. This nota ble group was spotlighted in 2014 when artists Ilene Dube and Kate Somers curated the “Concentric Circles of Influ ence: Queenston Press” ex hibitions, a multi-venue show including the ACP’s Taplin Gallery, the Historical Soci ety of Princeton, and Princ eton Public Library. In later years, Glucksberg’s attic be came her studio and housed her press where she would keep creating prints, paint ings, and drawings for many moreAfteryears.her sudden death in May 2021, Glucksberg’s fam ily contacted the Arts Coun cil to see about donating her press, along with a financial contribution that would allow the ACP to open a dedicated printmaking studio.

Sixteen artists now work from studios in the co-op, and the public is en couraged to come and see them at work and purchase any of the handmade items from the “Princetonmarket.Makes has be come a real community of artists for all of us who are co-op members,” said Princ eton artist Jessie Lee Kent. “We work together, learn from each other, and just enjoy being part of the same group. And it’s thrilling to have customers stop in, visit our studios, and talk with us “BY THE SHORE”: This work is by Spriha Gupta, one of the members of the Princeton Makes artists’ cooperative in the Princeton Shopping Center. The co-op will mark its first anniversary with a celebration open to the public on Sunday, September 18 from 12 to 4 p.m. about our work.

Arts Council to Launch New Printmaking Project
20227,SEPTEMBERWEDNESDAY,N.J.,PRINCETON,TOPICS,TOWN•17 arts.princeton.edu
“Depth” Dual Exhibition at Plainsboro Library Gallery “Depth,” an exhibition devoted entirely to eyes, is now on view at the Plains boro Public Library Gallery. In “Depth,” two local artists, Sweety Mehta and Sruthi Goswamy, exhibit graphite pencil sketches of the eye’s myriad shapes and sizes. While most of the focus is on the human eye, there is also, for example, an owl’s eye. Some of the 20 works in the show include colored pencil highlights. Mehta has shown her work in the Plainsboro Pub lic Library Gallery before, in the 2016 exhibition “Square One.” It is the first show for Goswamy, who took up sketching two years ago dur ing the COVID-19 lockdown. Both artists will speak about their work on Sat urday, September 10, at 1 p.m. The show will remain at the library through Sun day, September 25. The Plainsboro Public Library is located at 9 Van Doren Street, Plainsboro.
Art dio. While Glucksberg’s orig inal press was not well suited for teaching, the sentiment remains: the Arts Council will celebrate the launch of the Glucksberg Printmaking Project this September with a custom press built just for the space. Regular classes, workshops, exhibitions, and even artist residencies will usher in a new era of print making in honor of Glucks berg’s long-lasting impact.
“Setting up this studio has been a labor of love and we are so thankful to the Glucks berg family and friends of Trudy’s for their generous contributions and support,” said Evans. “Not only do we now have a popular medium to further explore with our art-making community, but we get to think of Trudy of ten and her dedication to the Arts Council. We hope you can visit our new print studio in September and see our new press, lovingly nick named ‘Trudy,’ which already feels like an old friend.”
The public is invited to an opening celebration on Sat urday, September 17 dur ing the ACP’s Opening Re ception for “Women on the Wall” from 3 to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Artist demonstrations on the new press will take place throughout the event.

Building off the suc cess of the first installment of “Night Forms,” this year’s iteration reflects our contin ued vision of bringing inno vations in art to Grounds For Sculpture.”Asimmersive art experi ences continue to grow in popularity and resonate with audiences across the country, “Night Forms” fur thers this movement with the display of interactive works that illuminate the sculpture park’s grounds with projection mapping and lighting syncopated to a cho reographed soundtrack. The works create a dialogue with both the park’s lush natural flora and the sculptures on view, including work by Carlos Dorrien, Isaac Wit kin, and Elizabeth StrongCuevas, transforming these elements through light and sound.Visitors are enveloped in the multisensory presenta tion as they move through the park and experience the vitality of the works on view responding to the changing natural environment. This year Klip Collective is tak ing the experiential nature of their work a step further: a number of the works of fer visitors the opportunity to directly interact with and manipulate the illusory land scape including a joystick feature that enables visi tors to control the visual of a moving spaceship, while another work features an instrument that visitors can play, creating a correspond ing reaction that ripples through the installation. Ricardo Rivera, creative director and founder of Klip Collective, is a site-specific media artist and pioneer of projection mapping. Ri vera has directed several ambient light and sound experiences, including “Nightscape” at Longwood Gardens and “Electric Des ert” at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. As a Sundance Story Lab fellow and Creative Capital award recipient, Rivera applies his theater, live performance, and film background in the transformation of spaces, layering architecture and filling landscapes with light and sound, resulting in im mersive, sensory environ ments.Fortickets and more in formation, visit grounds forsculpture.org.

All-Inclusive Homeowners appreciated the THM services from the start. Taking over the wear and tear of household main tenance and unexpected problems is a great stress reliever, points out Baxter. “Our first clients were a couple from New York City, who had a weekend home in Princeton. They needed help at the house, and had an appointment with an elec trician, who never showed up. Then they called us, we came right over, and fixed the problem. We find solu tions for “Anotherpeople.client had an ex perience with an electrician who completed his work, but left a hole in the wall. So, she called us, asking what to do. We went to her house, and with us, it is allinclusive. We do everything, and we definitely don’t leave holes in the wall. We do it right the first time.” THM clients are all ages for homeowners.

During COVID-19, THM was considered an essential business, he adds. “With people staying home more, they often wanted to make their houses and property nicer and more attractive, and we were really very busy helping with improvements,” saysOneBaxter.ofthe advantages THM offers homeowners is a membership program with various options. Stud ies have shown that preven tive maintenance is many times more cost effective than reactive maintenance after something has broken or failed, he says. THM offers three member ship plans, including Gold, Silver, and Handyman Plus at different annual costs. All include prompt response, emergency response, pre ferred pricing rates, and consolidated invoicing. Ser vices in other plans range from property review and inspection to home main tenance records and home analyses forecast reports. “Our plans are flexible, and we can customize them to the client’s needs,” points out Baxter. “We often find that clients become mem bers once they realize the benefits available.”
“Our business is relation ship-based. This is the fo cus. We build lasting rela tionships with people. They know they can count on us. One time, a woman had an incident when her door key broke in the lock. It was raining, and she was alone in the car with her kids. We had been doing work for her, and she called us. We had a key to the back door, and we got there within an hour.” The services are so all-in clusive that just about any thing the homeowner needs is available from THM. Cabi nets to chimneys, duct clean ing and driveway repair, gut ters and downspouts, pools and patios, landscaping, lawn cleanup, and lighting, home entertainment TV and internet systems — the list goes on. And all single sourceHomeownerssolutions.from Princ eton and the area, as well as Somerset, Hunterdon, and Bucks counties have all benefited from THM.
“We realized that there weren’t many people to do smaller projects for home owners — handyman-type jobs,” explains Baxter about the origin of the business. “It just seemed like a great idea. We had often been asked to do a variety of things by our customers, including small jobs, such as fixing steps, window and door locks, broken screens, and other repairs. “Also, when we began, Ray was in real estate, and clients often asked him to suggest people for repairs and other work. As a con tractor/builder, Baxter Con struction has people work ing for us, whom we can call upon. We have carpen ters on staff, and we know electricians and others we can reach out to. We have a network of talented insured and licensed experts in all trades, including roofing, painting, masonry, electri cal, and “Theseplumbing.areallpeople with experience and skill, who on time and handle the job properly.

“The students came back on August 16 and then we start ed training on August 18. It was filled with multiple twoa-days. I was putting them through some programming I do with the national play ers. For some of these stu dents, it was something they had never experienced. They came out on the other side after every training session saying wow.” Last Saturday, the players experienced a wow moment when Princeton made its varsity debut as it played at Sacred Heart, falling 53-21. Appropriately, the squad left with some fanfare as it headed for the trip to Sacred Heart.“OnFriday when we loaded the bus, Princeton Athletics had an awesome departing party for us,” said Ziluca. “They normally only do that for championship games. They understood the importance of this so I think the team felt that spirit coming up.” Spirits were high on Satur day morning as the players got ready to head to the pitch. “Everyone was up early, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and got their hair done,” said Ziluca. “With them be ing up early and ready to go, there was so much energy that they didn’t know what doStrugglingwith.” to channel all of that energy, Princeton had a tough first half, trailing 38-7 by“Iintermission.wouldsayfor the first 20-25 minutes, it was a lit tle frenzy of emotion and a little bit of disconnection,” said Ziluca. “The other point is because of our lack of numbers and having a lot of walk-ons, we are not get ting the full picture with our training. So that was their first time of seeing a full
FIRST TRY: Princeton University women’s rugby player Erica De San Jorge bursts past Sa cred Heart players last Saturday on the way to the first try as Princeton made its debut as a varsity program. The Tigers, who started as a club program in 1979 and were granted varsity status in 2021, fell 53-21 to the Pioneers. Princeton will host Army on September 10 in its home opener. (Photo by Sacred Heart, provided courtesy of Josie Ziluca) defensive line and things like that. I was not surprised.” A highlight of the first half came 31 minutes into the contest when Erica De San Jorge scored the first try (grounding the ball in the op position’s in-goal area simi lar to a touchdown in foot ball) in varsity competition for the “EricaTigers.isasophomore and is also our diversity, equity, and inclusion officer on the team,” said Ziluca. “She has been playing rugby for less than a year and for me it is very symbolic. All teams strive themselves in their inclusivity. In rugby, as we all know, it doesn’t matter your shape or size, there is a place and purpose for you. It is a really healthy at mosphere. For her to be the one to do that is very sym bolic about where we are headed.”Athalftime, Ziluca urged her players to play with a greater purpose in the sec ond“Ithalf.was funneling the en ergy in a different way,” said Ziluca. “You step back a sec ond and look at these stu dent athletes. A lot of them have never played team sports, let alone a contact sport. We had to funnel that energy, I think they were nervous about plays and the space between and all of the this stuff instead of getting a little angry and throwing a tackle and working together. They concentrated their en ergy into a physical form.” The Tigers responded, get ting outscored only 15-14 in the second half. “It was certainly our for wards, coming out of the scrum,” said Ziluca, who got tries from Priya Naph ade and Amelia Clarke in the second half with Alayshja Bable kicking both conver sions. “They were doing the brunt of the work, that was exciting.”Another exciting moment for the Tigers will come when they host Army on September 10 in their home opener on the West Windsor Rugby Field on Washington Road.“No doubt it is going to be an exciting show,” said Ziluca, noting that there is
no parking at the field and that fans can park at the Princeton Boathouse or take a shuttle from the Wawa on Alexander Road. “We have a lot of support from athlet ics, alumni, and parents to make the fan experience re allyThegreat.”Tigers will face a great challenge in taking on the Black“ArmyKnights.came in second in the nation last year,” said Ziluca. “I know a lot of their players and a lot of the play ers on all of these varsity programs. I know what they are working with.” Ziluca is hoping that her squad can build on its good work in the second half against Sacred Heart. “At the end of the day, it is the start of the season,” said Ziluca. “Our team morale is really high. With that score differential in the second half the other day, I think our team knows that any thing is possible, so let’s not count ourselves out.” No matter what happens on Saturday, the fledgling program is making its pres ence felt on campus. “I can see what the team is paving — we are playing the long game,” said Ziluca. “I can see it happening, even with the game on Saturday. Princeton Athletics is blow ing it up, we are having so much interest from current Princeton students. We are a walk-on team, we only have a little bit of support. Princ eton students always amaze me. They look at joining this sport as learning a new skill.”With Ziluca driving the program, the Tigers are clearly heading in the right direction. —Bill Alden
Making History with Debut as a Varsity Program, PU Women’s Rugby Battles Hard in Loss to Sacred Heart
J osie Ziluca was behind the wheel in May 2021 when she learned the good news that the Prince ton University women’s rug by team had been granted varsity status. “It was amazing,” said Princeton head coach Zilu ca, who came to the school in 2019 to guide the Tiger club program. “At that point I was driving cross country back to Princeton to attend graduation for our seniors who had a bizarre COVID year.”That decision culminated a lengthy process as the club was founded in 1979 and enjoyed a lot of success. The Tigers won 57 straight matches in 1995-96 and two national championships and the seed was planted for an eventual move to varsity status.There was discussion in 2012 to make the move but the players were content remaining as a club at that point. In 2017, the students made a proposal to go var sity which was ultimately ap proved four years later. Last fall, Ziluca guided the Tigers through their last club season they prepared to make the jump to varsity competition. Princeton went undefeated in the fall rugby union (15 players a side) ac tion and then placed third in national club 7s tournament this past spring. This August, the players arrived at campus to start preseason practices for their varsity debut. “It was crazy; it was a lot of hard work, it was a lot of fun,” said Ziluca, who spent the summer of 2021 leading the fitness programming for elite senior and U-18 women at the American Rugby Pro Training Center in Arkansas.

Roberts got loose a couple of times in the box and Diaz-Bonilla was making a run down end line in the waning seconds. Those efforts, though, were for naught as Princeton suffered an unfortunate case of déjà vu with the Catamounts hanging on for a 2-0 win over the Tigers for the second straight year. On Friday, the Tigers will head to Penn State (2-1-1) looking to get on the winning track.

Over the Labor Day weekend, Princeton started its 2022 campaign by facing the same two foes, looking to turn the tables on them.
PU Athletics Honoring Carril on September 30
“They are two teams that beat us last year in two very even games,” said Barlow as he looked ahead to the season. “I think we felt as the season went on that we would love to have another shot at those two teams and now we get another shot at them.”OnFriday at Rutgers, Princeton seemed headed to the same result against the Scarlet Knights as it trailed 1-0 with 14 minutes remaining in regulation.

PU Hockey Star Fillier Helps Canada Win Women’s Worlds Princeton University women’s hockey star Sarah Fillier continued her incredible run of international success last weekend, helping Canada to its second straight International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women’s World Championship title Sunday in Denmark as it defeated the U.S. 2-1 in the final. Fillier assisted Brianne Jenner on the winning goal in the final and tallied five goals, tied for fifth in the tournament. The junior forward from Georgetown, Ontario co-led Canada with 11 points, tying for fourth overall in the tournament. The win gave Canada and Fillier back-to-back IIHF Women’s World Championships along with the 2022 Olympic gold medal last winter. The consecutive IIHF titles are Canada’s first back-to-back run since 2001 and 2004. The U.S. had won nine of the 11 championships held from 2005-19, with Canada winning the other two. Set to begin her third season with the Tigers this fall, Fillier is already more than halfway to Princeton’s career records for assists, with 70 and the record at 122, and points, with 114 and the record at 218.
PU Women’s Soccer Falls at Rutgers Unable to get its offense going, the Princeton University women’s soccer team fell 3-0 at No. 9 Rutgers last Sunday. The Tigers were outshot 1612 as they suffered their first defeat of the season. In upcoming action, Princeton, now 3-1, hosts LSU on September 8 and George Mason on September 11.
Tracking down a loose ball on a free kick, Tiger defender Issa Mudashiru got the ball to Harry Roberts who eluded a defender and slotted the ball to Daniel Diaz-Bonilla, who fired a shot that was saved. Undeterred, Diaz-Bonilla chased down the rebound and fired the ball into the back of the net.That tally proved to be the final score of the contest as the local rivals played to a 1-1 draw, giving the Tigers some measure of payback. On Labor Day, Princeton hosted Vermont in its home opener and, like in the opener, dug itself a hole.
Princeton Wrestling Adds Salata to Staff Continuing a career that has seen her compete in and coach wrestling over nearly the past two decades, Julia Salata has joined the Princeton University wrestling program as its director of operations.Salatahas helped continue the growth of women’s wrestling, including by serving as senior manager for collegiate women’s advancement for Wrestle Like a Girl, an organization that holds events and advocates for opportunities for women in the sport. “To say we are excited that we are adding Julia to the Princeton staff is an understatement,” said Princeton head coach Chris Ayres. “Princeton Wrestling has improved immensely in the last 10 years largely due to the fact that we try that we are innovative and try to stay a few steps ahead of our competition.

In games on Friday, the Tigers topped Morgan State 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-11) and then fell 3-1 (23-25, 2522, 26-25, 25-22) to host Towson. Senior Luoma had 14 kills in the win and then added 15 in the defeat. Princeton ended the event by beating Radford 3-0 (2513, 25-22, 25-19) Saturday as Luoma had 12 kills.

the field. She anticipates the play well and gets our transi tion offense started.” As for the rest of the Ti ger defense, junior Annie Callahan will be starting at goalie with sophomore So phie Gono, junior Sally Fla nagan, and senior Aisling Odell playing at back. “We have to replace ev erybody so the others are all new,” said Serverson. “Annie is going to be step ping to goal for us, she is starting to communicate bet ter. The other defenders will be Sophie, Sally, and Aisling. They have been doing a bet ter job than other segments of the field working together because they have to. They have no choice. Gianna has been the main vocal leader followed by Annie.” In Serverson’s view, get ting her squad to work to gether will be the key to success this fall. “We just need to get that on-field familiarity going,” said Serverson. “We need to make sure that we know how our teammates are playing and that we know where they are going to be for any given pass or any given cut. Once we start connecting, I think we will have a success ful season.”

While the Princeton High field hockey team has plenty of talent on hand, the chal lenge for Heather Serverson is to mix and match those pieces into a cohesive unit. “It is an overall positive feeling around the team; we did a lot of work over the summer and a lot of girls have committed to playing year round,” said PHS head coach Serverson, who led PHS to a 15-2 record last fall on the way to the Mercer County Tournament semifi nal. “We are in our usual situation where we just need to figure out who we have, what our strengths are, and how they best fit together.”
One of the squad’s strengths figures to be the play of junior Delaney Keegan, the leading return ing scorer for PHS, having tallied seven goals and 17 assists last fall to help trig ger the Tiger attack. “Delaney is playing well, she has been doing a great job defensively and offen sively,” said Serverson, whose team is playing at Lawrence High on Septem ber 12 in its season opener. “She really reads the play and the field well, I can’t say enough about her.”

SMASH HIT: Princeton High field hockey player Delaney Keegan gets ready for a big hit last fall. Junior Keegan is the leading returning scorer for PHS, having tallied seven goals and 17 assists last fall.

Mia has good stickwork and some really good poise for her age, which really pays off for us in the circle. She is coming into her own right now. Leah has been playing at forward, we have been seeing some great stuff from her as well. She has a great shot on goal, she also has some good poise. Annie had to sit out part of the season last year because she was a transfer. We are looking forward to her getting a full season in. She has been a really good feisty player for us in the midfield, doing some great things.

PHS sophomore Travis Petrone made his first ca reer start at quarterback in place of the injured Brady Collier and showed some potential.“Travisplayed well, he had some nice plays,” said Galla gher of Petrone, who looked dangerous on option plays and also had some good connections through the air with Corey Woodson and Joe George. “He is an ath lete. We are blessed to have Brady, we are blessed to haveSophomoreTravis.” wide receiver Woodson displayed his ath leticism, making a couple of big grabs in the third quar ter.“Corey is a gamer and he does a good job,” said Galla gher. “He is serious, we have a lot of serious guys out here which is great.” PHS is facing a serious challenge when it plays at Haddon Township (1-0 with a 33-16 win over Gateway in its season opener) on Sep tember 10. “Our focus is to put this game to the side and then focus on Haddon Township,” said Gallagher. “We are go ing to review the Haddon film. We won’t even watch this film; Riverside did a great job so good for them. They had a formula like some teams have. Our for mula is still a work in prog ress.”Gallagher is looking for ward to working with his young players to help them develop a winning formula. “We are going to step up, it is next man up,” said Gal lagher. “We can’t feel sorry for ourselves because there is a game next week.

The tide turned in River side’s favor when it got a safety late in the first quar ter to go up 2-0 and then scored a touchdown on the next possession to extend the lead to 8-0.

After it was over, the play ers on the Princeton High football team gathered to gether in the end zone, hanging their heads in de jection.Entering its home opener against Riverside last Satur day, PHS was determined to bounce back from a frustrat ing 35-12 loss to Lawrence on August 26 to start the 2022Instead,campaign.theTigers shot themselves in the foot, making a number of miscues on the way to a 35-0 loss to the Rams. PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher acknowledged that his squad wasn’t sharp. “Riverside played well and we had so many self-inflict ed wounds — interceptions, missed tackles, fumbles, and bad penalties, you name it,” said Gallagher. “It was a big step backwards, that is dis appointing. I take responsi bility.”
“They ran the ball all over us, they run a tricky offense,” said Gallagher of the Rams, who got 175 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Ivan Ramos with John Bos ton running for 135 yards and a pair of scores. “Our people weren’t doing what they are supposed to do; there are places that defen sive players need to look.”

When the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team made its debut in the NonPublic B tournament last fall, it didn’t appear to be a title contender as it brought an 8-11 record into the compe tition.But seventh-seeded PDS produced a stirring run, win ning the South Jersey sec tional title before falling 3-1 to Gill St. Bernard’s in the Non-Public B state final. Heading into the 2022 season, Panther head coach Brian Thomsen believes the tournament run had proven to be a confidence builder for his returning players.

After Advancing to Non-Public
1. This year in September we are having a free art contest. Artists are invited to paint the old apple trees at the front of Terhune Orchard. The trees are in and around the parking area. There is no fee for submitting pieces.
Senior goalie and tri-cap tain John Mazzarisi is poised for a big final campaign for PDS.“John is a fantastic shot stopper, he has gotten a lot better with his communica tion,” said Thomsen, noting that sophomore backup Oren Yakoby shows a lot of poten tial. “He is able to strike the ball with his goal kicks and punts. His distribution has gotten a lot better. I am excit ed to see how he grows into it, I think the big thing that he and I talked about during the winter time last year was his ability to keep shutouts and being prideful about shutting people out. That is what we are going with. He makes big saves all of the time.” As PDS goes through a challenging schedule this fall, Thomsen believes the squad will peak down the stretch.“Weare treating it like we did last year with a build ing blocks approach,” said Thomsen. “I think ultimately we know at the end of the year that we are going to be in a position where we can make some noise in the state tournament. We will play a schedule that is very interesting. We are kind of like the University of Notre Dame from a football per spective. We get to go play an independent schedule. We can play who we want and then we have our prep school rivalries. It is a really cool experience for these kids, especially towards the latter part of the year with the counties, Prep B, and Non-Public. We are excited.”

“He been such a great am bassador for the program. He is definitely excited about the year. He is excited to be a leader and not in the shad ows of the guys that have been here in the past couple of years. He has really em braced the entire mantra that we might not be the best soc cer team out there but we are definitely somebody who is going to work our tails off. We are a group that is going to defend really well and play together which is really im portant.”PDSshould get some good work in the midfield from se nior Michael Zebrowski and sophomore Todd Devin. “Michael didn’t play last year and took the year off,” said Thomsen. “He is very good. Todd was a freshman last year who pretty much played every minute in every game.”The trio of senior Julian Liao, junior Yaseen Mousa, and junior Gyan Gautam will be looking to produce at for ward.“Julian came on very strong at the end of last year, we are looking forward to having him,” said Thomsen. “Yas een was playing outside back for us because we had Milan Shan and William Vasquez. Those were the guys up top doing the heavy lifting so he is excited to move forward into an attacking role. Gyan was coming off the bench last year, he should be a really good player for us. He is in a goodAlongspot.”the back line, se nior Shay Bhens and senior KICKING OFF: Princeton Day School boys’ soccer player Joaquin Rodriguez sends the ball upfield in a 2021 game. Senior midfielder and co-captain Rodriguez is primed to trigger the PDS offense this season. The Panthers start their 2022 campaign by playing at Burlington Township High on September 8. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) tri-captain Raag Desikan will be leading the way. “Shay was good enough to play last year and start at cen ter back, but the issue with him was that he had a lot of injuries that were bothering him,” said Thomsen. “I think we finally got him to a healthy spot this year. If we can get Shay and Raag at center back that allows for Todd and Mi chael to sit there in the defen sive mid spots with Joaquin playing the attacking mid.”
2. A panel of Judges will select the best submissions and display the winners at Ellarslie Museum in Trenton (opening October 9th) and at the Terhune Orchard Wine Barn (opening October 7th) through December.
3. Any art medium is OK, including paintings, drawings and photography. Judging will start on September 24 at Terhune Orchard and continue until October 2nd. Artists can offer their artwork for sale if they like, with a portion of the purchase price to support the arts in Mercer County. Art must be ready to hang. Artists must insure their own artwork if they want insurance.
“The guys got a little bit of belief in them now that we have been through a year of playing in the South Jersey Non-Public B,” said Thom sen, who guided PDS to a 12-12 record in his debut season at the helm of the program. “They feel a little bit more confident that they can have some success in the postseason.”Thomsenbelieves that his squad is primed for a success ful“Wefall. have a good group of guys on the field to go to battle,” said Thomsen, whose team plays at Burlington Township High on September 8 in its season opener.” Senior midfielder and team tri-captain Joaquin Rodriguez figures to be a key guy for the Panthers.“Joaquin is an awesome kid; he is defining what it is to be a PDS student, every body looks forward to deal ing with him,” said Thomsen.

The quartet of senior Jared Sandberg, sophomore Hart Liu Nowakoski, senior Oliver Hall, and sophomore Penn von Zelowitz provide some versatility for the Panthers “Jared is another guy who might see time in the middle of the field and outside back,” said Thomsen, whose group of reserves will include senior Aaron Herscovici, sopho more Max Schragger, senior Joshua Chu, junior Jameson Reilly, sophomore Henr y West , and junior Sebastian Rzeczycki.“Wewill have another kid, Hart, who is going to be an outside back as well as cen tral attacking midfielder to give Joaquin a break. Oliver is a lacrosse and hockey play er by trade who decided that he wanted play soccer this year. He brings athleticism to the group that we really don’t have. Penn will see some time at outside winger.”

Sophomore Shelby Ruf is stepping into the starting goalie spot after having played mainly defense last fall.“Shelby is big, athletic and physical; she is a standout lacrosse player,” said Pettit, noting that last year’s starter, Jess Hollander, is competing for the PDS cross country team this fall. “Her hand-eye coordination is very good from the lacrosse work. Obviously there is going to be a steep learning curve for her. She actually finished the season for us in goal because Jess broke her foot. We played some state tournament games with Shelby in goal and she did OK with no training at all. One of the big benefits of it for us with Shelby is that she was a field player. She played center back and defensive center mid last year so we use her as a field player. She can be that 11th player; that is a big bonus for us, especially as we are going to be a possessionoriented team.” In order to have a big season, the Panthers need to cash in on that possession. “It has to click in front of goal; last year we had a couple of games where we scored a lot of goals but then we had a lot of games where we didn’t create as many chances as we should and then we missed the chances we did create,” said Pettit. “My hope is that this year, we will have a better understanding and composure in and around the final third. Now that the players will know the patterns and formation and stuff a little more, my hope is that we can create more opportunities. If we can get that done, we will be in much better shape.”Inany event, PDS appears to be a squad that can grow into something special. “We are a very young, inexperienced team so we are going to need to get lucky with injuries,” said Pettit. “Last year, come the crunch point of the season, Ali Surace broke her foot and Jess broke her foot. If everybody stays fit and healthy and the freshmen take to it very well, I am expecting that we can be stronger than last year. Hopefully we get off to a fast start and then good things can start to happen. The growing becomes a lot easier rather than if you have lost five or six to start.”
Featuring Mix of Battle-Tested Veterans, Skilled Newcomers, PDS Girls’ Soccer Primed to Grow Into Something Special

Senior defender Ruf figures to be a pillar of the PDS defense this fall. The Panthers kick off their 2022 season by hosting Peddie on September 8. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) is and senior Kirsten Ruf, will spearhead the Panther back line.“Tochi is looking good, she has been able to do a full preseason,” said Pettit. “She was phenomenal last year, we will probably be using her at central although there may be times where we move her out wide. Between her and Ruf at center back, they make a pretty good defensive platform. They are both very good on the ball. I give them the freedom to go and get involved in the play, not both at the same time. It means they are the extra man, they don’t get picked up. Provided we do it in the right moment and in a controlled manner, that is good for the team and dangerous for the opposition. They will be the pillars back there.” On the wings, sophomore Reese Overman and junior Jenn Lightman will provide cover for Owunna and Ruf. “Reese played a lot last year, she was a relative unknown and just took to it well,” said Pettit. “My hope is that now that with another year under her belt, she will be able to maintain from last year and push on a little bit. Jenn, who played left back a lot, is a returning junior. The back four is reasonably intact from last year.” Another newcomer, freshman Emma Burns, will add some class to the back four. “Emma is technically very, very good, she has got some of the best technical skills on the team,” said Pettit. “Her understanding and awareness are very good and she is excellent on the ball. The question is, can she handle the physical nature? I am fully expecting that she is so good with the other two, she will overcome that.”
As Chris Pettit heads into his second season at the helm of the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team, he believes that increased familiarity will breed success. “I think personality-wise, there is a greater understanding on both sides and playing-wise as well,” said Pettit, who guided PDS to an 8-8-1 record last fall in his debut campaign. “There is a greater kind of awareness and understanding of how we are going to play this year. It has made it easier because it is more integrated, having them appreciate and understand what we are doing. My hope is that this year we can pick up more or less where we leftPettitoff.” will be depending on his returning players to help integrate a large group of newcomers into the program.“We have 12 freshmen so none of those players have been through it before; that probably makes up 50 percent of our squad,” said Pettit, whose team kicks off its 2022 season by hosting Peddie on September 8. “We are pretty young and inexperienced so it has definitely been some of the usual learning curves. They just haven’t done anything this intensive before. Club is every other couple of days where this preseason is everySeniorday.” star forward Grace Romano brings experience and skill to the table for the squad, having led PDS in scoring last season with 15 goals and four assists. “Grace is good, she has stepped up as a senior leader,” said Pettit, noting that junior Abby Weed (3 goals, 2 assists in 2021) will also be seeing time at forward. “She chipped in with quite a few goals last year and will hopefully be a real weapon for us in terms of goals. I would like to see her improve her assists. Going north on both of those numbers would obviously be good for her and the leadershipAnotherpart.” player who figures to pile up some numbers this fall is junior Adriana Salzano (13 goals, 2 assists).“Myhope is that Adriana will be in and around the goals and assists; our intent to put her in those dangerous positions and get the best of her,” said Pettit. “She has certainly progressed technically. The biggest thing with Adriana is that she is matured a lot from last year. My hope is that she has a greater understanding of mentally how to play the game, control herself and her teammates through the game rather than letting other factors influence how she plays. If she does that, she will do much better in terms of numbers and more importantly everybody around her will be much better. That is how good she is.” A pair of freshmen, Mackenzie Brodel and Ella McLaren, figure to help the Panthers get better this fall. “Mackenzie is more of a central forward who likes to hold the ball and links up well with attackers underneath,” said Pettit. “I am hoping for big things from Ella. She has already got the kind of physical size and the athleticism to handle high school which not all freshmen do. She also has the technical capabilities as well as the understanding of the game. I am hoping that she will really be somebody who will give us defensive protection and enable us to control games. I fully expect her to chip in with some goals and assists as well.” In the midfield, sophomore Sophia Zhou (1 assist) and freshman Julia Hartman should chip in with some good“Sophiaplay. was a little bit of a surprise last year, she played a lot and did really well,” said Pettit. “We are looking for her to develop a little more. She is very effortless with the ball. She drifts past people with the ball at her feet to create space rather than moving for it. I quite like the fact that there is a little bit of a difference there from our other players. Jules will be in the midfield and will play some key minutes. She is going to have to develop into the pace and physicality of the high school game. Technically, she has got it and she certainly understands the game.”

them a chance to show their strength.“Youdefi nitely get to be more aggressive in the run game which is always great,” said Howland. “But at the end of the day, all we care about is winning so whatever we can do to do that — run, pass, five plays, 15 plays — as long as we get in the end zone we’re happy with that. We don’t care how many plays or what kind of plays we run as long as we win.” It was a good start to the year Saturday in all regards, and Hun sees potential for another big season. The Raiders are trying to build on an 8-0 season in 2021 with a new cast of players and several returners like Howland who are anxious to prove they can succeed in new roles. “We definitely did lose a lot of guys last year, a lot of our leaders,” said Howland. “But a lot of seniors have stepped up and we did bring in a lot of new guys and a lot of amazing talents, skill positions, offensive line, defensive line, so I think we’re pretty set on defense. We have a great front four, our linebacker corps looks amazing, the secondary is locking everyone up. And then offensive line is doing great, we obviously have a great quarterback and I think he’s going to be able to facilitate to our playmakers and we’ll go from there.”
Howland played basketball last year for Hun at about 260 pounds, and college suitors liked the what he showed off the football field. It’s what helped raise his recruiting stock. “We had a couple college coaches come in while me and one of my teammates, Owen Wafle, were playing basketball this season and they liked that we were athletic and able to move our feet and had good footwork,” said Howland.

20227,SEPTEMBERWEDNESDAY,N.J.,PRINCETON,TOPICS,TOWN•29
Lainez III completed 8 of 10 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns, JT Goodman rushed for a pair of touchdowns while Kamar Archie scored on a 60yard run. Six different Raiders had catches with Liam Thorpe and Logan Galletta receiving touchdown tosses. Aidan Casuccio, Dante Barone, and Kole Briehler each had one sack apiece, and Owen Wafle had three tackles for loss. Goodman intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown, and Briehler blocked a punt that Galletta recovered for a touchdown. Hun was able to get a taste of how this year’s team could come together. “We have great balance,” said Smith. “Our personnel is broken up so that if we want to sit in the ‘I’ we have some really good fullbacks that could help clear the way, but if we want to spread it out we could put some really good skill guys on the field and attack people that way. We’re going to be a hard team to defend because you have so many different guys you have to cover.”Utilizing all facets of its game, Hun raced out to a 48-0 halftime lead before getting everyone some experience during the second half. The Raiders are still sorting out how to use all their pieces to their potential, but were happy to get a look at their team against an“Weopponent.have a good core of kids coming back,” said Smith. “We just have a lot of the kids coming back playing in different positions. Even though we have a lot of back, there’s a lot of new faces playing at different spots. We’re fairly fresh into practicing and preseason camp and we were using it to make sure hopefully we were going in the same direction and hitting the right guys and lining up the right way. From that perspective we thought it was a good day.”Howland and Illinois commit Zach Aamland are the lone returning starters from the offensive line, and both are in different spots. Aamland, a three-year starter on the line, moved out from guard to tackle while Howland has slid in from tight end to tackle. “It’s going great,” said Howland. “The seniors are definitely looked up to by a lot of the younger offensive linemen. We’re a pretty small group but we try to take charge as much as we can. We demonstrate and mentor the younger guys as best we can do.” Howland has been adjusting to his new role. After catching six passes last year as a tight end, he is helping to shore up the new look offensive line that Smith is molding.“Itwas definitely tough the first couple months because I love playing tight end,” said Howland. “It was a fun position to play. But I think when it comes down to it, this was a position that I can excel at and succeed at. He’s had a lot of success turning tight ends into offensive linemen and putting offensive linemen into college football programs where they can succeed.” In deciding where to play in college, Howland committed early in July to the Sooners under new head coach Brent Venables. He reportedly chose Oklahoma over such programs as Oklahoma State, Alabama, Michigan, and“ItStanford.wasdefinitely a busy month of June, a lot of visits going on, a lot of talking with coaches and they were asking me how my visits were,” said Howland. “I loved all my visits, especially Oklahoma. They have such a rich history of being a successful team and winning. Coach Venables coming back was definitely one of the big selling points, as well as Coach (Bill) Bedenbaugh, their offensive line coach. He’s been doing it for a long time now and he’s one of the best if not the best at hisOklahomaposition.”liked what they saw in Howland, who is 6’7 and has added weight to reach the 280-290 pound range, where he’d like to stay before moving into college. He had a few colleges telling him he could continue at tight end, but they mostly said his future was at “It’stackle.anatural transition for a kid like him,” said Smith. “Everybody wants offensive tackles to be athletes, and that’s what he is.”
“I think that definitely was a big selling point for me. As an offensive lineman, a big thing is footwork and foot speed. Obviously it helps with Owen, who’s a monster himself. I definitely think that basketball helped us.” Howland is foregoing pass catching to focus on being a better blocker this year. He played tight end for three seasons at Westfield High before repeating his junior year and transitioning to Hun. He is adjusting to the demands of his new spot, working at engaging defenders with his hands, getting in a proper stance, and not lunging at them and allowing defenders to get by him.
“Run blocking is pretty much the same,” said Howland. “It’s similar to tight end, it’s just you’re blocking a little bigger guys and working more with the interior offensive line. But pass blocking is something I have to work on and improve at. It’s my first year really going against some of the best guys in the country that we have on our team, and they help me get better every day. Pass blocking is definitely the biggest part of my game that needs to improve.”Asthe offensive line comes together, Hun’s offense should be even more potent. Howland sees the line progressing each day in practice and they won’t be resting on one lopsided win with plenty of challenges ahead. The Raiders line has been working to foster a bond with the entire line in bigger roles “Communicationnow. is definitely key, being able to read defenders and get to your assignments, and just be coachable with coach Smith,” said Howland. “He knows what he’s doing and his plays obviously work for us very well and get the running backs a lot of yards. We’ll keep doing what we’re doing with coach Smith’s teachings.”TheRaiders are confident in their balanced attack. Howland, though, might be happier this year as an offensive lineman to see more runs called to give Converts to O-Line from Tight End, Helping to Lead the Charge as Hun Football Rolls in Opener
Logan Howland may have caught his last pass last year unless the Hun School football team uses a tackleeligible play this fall. With an eye on the future, the Raider senior will spend his final scholastic season at offensive tackle after playing tight end throughout his prior high school years. “I think it was kind of inevitable,” said Howland. “When Coach (Todd) Smith reached out to me my junior year at Westfield he asked me if anyone was talking to me about playing offensive line. He’s seen that college coaches would see me as the new prototypical skinny guy that they can turn into an athletic offensive lineman. I think it was only a matter of time after the season to turn me into an offensive lineman. It was December or November he told me, you’re moving to the line and this is what’s going to get you paid a lot of money in college and hopefully in the NFL.” Last Saturday, Howland and the Raider offensive line cleared the way and the defense was opportunistic as Hun rolled to a 48-13 opening day win over Mastery Charter. Hun led 27-0 after the first quarter on the way to the decisive victory. “It was good to see a lot of guys on the field that didn’t get a lot of playing time last year,” said Howland, who will be headed to the University of Oklahoma next season to continue his football career. “We have to work on a lot of things and hopefully we’ll be a lot better next week.” Hun will look to keep on the winning track when it hosts Royal Imperial Collegiate of Canada on September 10. The Raiders will be looking for the rebuilt offensive line to continue to come together while finding ways to utilize a bevy of new talent at the skill spots. “We have a lot of kids and there’s only one football to go around, but we’re going to do our best to spread it around,” said Hun head coach Smith. “We had a lot of people contribute today so that’s exciting. It’s going to keep making us better and harder to defend as the yearIowaprogresses.”commitMarco
Other players who can make things happen in the midfield include senior Neve Palmeri (5 goals in 2021), junior Olivia Spektor (2 goals, 5 assists), junior So phia Cannuli, sophomore Julia Espinosa (1 goals, 2 assists), and junior Maddie
“We are using that as mo tivation, we were the un derdogs last year and now we have to defend that Prep title,” said Hun head coach Jenn Barrett, who guided the Raiders to 12-5-2 record last fall after they went 0-4-1 the year before. “We know people are going to bring their competitive greatness to us. We are working every practice and every opportu nity that we have to push it so that we are prepared for thoseBasedmoments.”onhow preseason training has gone, the Hun players seem prepared for that challenge.

Coming off a winless sea son in a 2020 campaign abbreviated due to COVID concerns, the Hun School girls’ soccer team snuck up on its foes last year. Catching fire down the stretch, Hun produced a stirring run in the state Prep A tournament, culmi nating with a 4-3 overtime win against perennial power Pennington in the final to give the program its first Prep title since 2014. As the Raiders head into the 2022 campaign, they know they have a bull’s eye on their backs.

RILED UP: Hun School girls’ soccer player Riley Hayes controls the ball in a game last season. Senior midfielder and tri-captain Hayes, the team’s leading scorer last year with 11 goals and three assists as the Raiders won the state Prep A title, figures to be the offensive catalyst again this season for Hun. The Raiders open their 2022 campaign by playing the Hill School (Pa.) on September 9 in the Varsity Soccer Jamboree hosted by Hill. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) goal, 1 assist) and junior Hannah Yanni provide depth to the “Laurenattack.isa returner, she had broken her elbow last year midseason,” said Bar rett. “She is healthy this year and she will be play ing up top. Hannah is new to varsity and is definitely somebody I will put up top.” On defense, a veteran unit of senior tri-captain Tooni Olaleye, sophomore Allie Devlin, senior tri-captain Tatum D’Apolito, junior Gabi Rollins, and senior Maya Zeruld will be patrolling the back“Tooniline.is definitely leading the way in the center,” said Barrett. “We have Allie who has come up really big in our scrimmages. She start ed last year as a freshman at outside back. She came back much stronger too: she will play outside back. We are going to have Tatum at the other outside back, she has been awesome. Gabi is another big returner who is going to get a lot more time this year. She has got ten stronger and bigger. She is really versatile. Maya was out injured both her sopho more and junior year. She is coming back midseason and will probably be play ingHun’sdefense.”lastline of defense, junior goalie Zoey Palmer, is primed for another big campaign.“Zoeyis one of the best goalkeepers in the county,” asserted Barrett. “She is constantly working on her game and constantly re flecting. She is the ultimate teammate. She is leading back there and gives it 100 percent in effort. She can get the ball up the field. She asks after every practice and every game what can I work on. She will stay after prac tice and work on it, she is absolutely amazing.” As Hun puts in its work collectively this fall, the blueprint for their effort will be John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success, the famed UCLA basketball coach’s frame work of characteristics and traits that help define a suc cessful person and athlete. “Every preseason and throughout the season we work on the pyramid; we talk about it and we read the book together,” said Barrett. “We need to reach competitive greatness, be ing the best of what you are capable of being. That is the top of the pyramid. We need to continue our competitive ness. I love it because this is why we play sports. It is to have these keys to success in life. This is what I learned from sports and I want to pass it on. You rarely re member the records but you remember those things.”
The one-two punch of ju niors Mackenzie Turner (7 goals, 3 assists) and Tessa Falcone (2 goals, 3 assists) figure to be catalysts from the forward spot. “They are amazing sparks, they are both threats,” said Barrett. “They can play any where, midfield or up top. I can play them at wingers, I can play them as center for wards. We will be looking to them for scoring opportuni ties. Their quickness and speed is Senioressential.”LaurenSoler (1

super well, we have a re ally good group of girls,” said Barrett, whose team is opening its 2022 campaign by playing the Hill School (Pa.) on September 9 in the Varsity Soccer Jamboree hosted by Hill. “The girls are really excited and definitely confident in themselves, their ability and the oppor tunities.”Barrett is looking for se nior star and tri-captain Riley Hayes, Hun’s leading scorer last fall with 11 goals and three assists, to create offensive opportunities in the“Shemidfield.isjust a wonderfully competitive, she hypes ev erybody up,” said Barrett of Hayes who has committed to attend Bucknell Univer sity and play for its women’s soccer program. “She wants to be in the tough moments, she is someone who wants the ball when something needs to happen.”
“Neve has gotten better and better every year; she is showing her best mind set and best shape this year which is awesome,” said Barrett. “She is great, she is playing center mid with Riley. I will have Olivia somewhere in the center, either defensive center mid or center mid. She is defi nitely a threat, even from 40 yards out. I have her more as a defensive mid who can move up. What we noticed last year is that how she is playing really sets the tone. Sophia is probably going to play a winger or outside mid. Julia has come back a lot stronger than last year physicality wise. She is play ing in the center. Maddie is a very feisty player and she will be able to play on the outside wing or midfield.”
