Plenty of Opposition To NJ Transit Plan For Dinky Hiatus

NJ Transit’s plan for a three-month halt of the Dinky train that connects Princeton with Princeton Junction on the Northeast Corridor line is not going over well with commuters and members of the town’s governing body. At Princeton Council’s meeting Monday night, October 8, several residents and Council members spoke in opposition to the plan, which NJ Transit representatives attending the meeting said is necessary so that all NJ Transit equipment and personnel can be utilized during the installation of federally mandated Positive Train Control (PTC) in other parts of the system. The train’s two cars would be replaced by buses. Anita Garoniak, head of the citizen group Save the Dinky, read a letter she has written to NJ Transit Executive Director Kevin Corbett asking that the decision to temporarily shut down the line be reconsidered. Some 1,500 people have signed petitions, some of them online, in opposition to the plan. The Dinky is “an economic lifeline for Princeton and the region,” Garoniak read from the letter. “The service that the Princeton Branch performs for commuters, occasional users, and students is a critical feature of our community’s commitment to sustainable transit and support for mobility options that reduce reliance on the automobile.” Princeton University has also been in conversations with NJ Transit, and has offered to make Tiger Transit buses available should they be needed during the stoppage. Tom Clarke of NJ Transit said that buses on a regular schedule would ferry commuters to and from the two stations while the trains are out of commission, estimating that the trip would take 15 minutes. The Dinky trip is approximately 5 minutes long. Eve Niedergang, who is a candidate for Council, asked Clarke who came up with the 15-minute figure, since it can take up to 45 minutes to make the trip across US 1 during rush hours. Clarke also said that riders will get a 10 percent discount during the shutdown. “It’s a small way to compensate you, but we’re doing our best,” he said.

BOE Chair Plans New Referendum Proposal

As press time approached yesterday afternoon, Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) Chair Patrick Sullivan prepared to present a new compromise proposal to his Board and the community at the special BOE meeting scheduled for last night. At a BOE forum in September, PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane had posted on the screen a quotation from Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association President Leighton Newlin: “Let’s not have a good plan for our children become divisive for our community.” Newlin had expressed concern about the “perfect storm” of critical needs for the schools clashing with widespread economic distress and rising taxes. Sullivan was hopeful that his new plan would help to calm the conflict, meet the schools’ most urgent needs, and give PPS and the community time to work towards a consensus. “I’m going to propose that we step back and look at this as a multi-year plan,” said Sullivan. Sullivan’s latest proposal would include a single question for $27M on the December 11 ballot, with the construction of the 5/6 school, the acquisition of the Thanet property, and the major expansion of Princeton High School (PHS) postponed until next year. Sulllivan’s compromise plan represents a significant reduction from an original proposal of $129.6M and a more recent

narrowed down two-part question of $27M plus $55.5M ($82.5M if both parts passed). It also represents a significantly less onerous real estate tax burden for Princeton residents, though Sullivan pointed out that another referendum would be needed in November 2019, requiring about six months lead time to formulate the ballot question. Cochrane emphasized the importance on the December 2018 ballot proposal of “unifying the community around the needs we have identified — security and HVAC throughout the district; and $11M for needs at PHS, including four new classrooms, and upgrades to guidance, dining, and athletic areas.”

“We plan to address the long-range needs for space at the middle school and the high school in a way that honors the economic diversity in our town,” he added. “We want to bring the community together through a process that looks at the needs of the schools and also the economic concerns of the town.” Sullivan discussed his plan. “I’m also proposing that we begin a process over the next six or seven months to give the community another chance to weigh in, as we work to actively engage the town in terms of land use, planning, and traffic, as well as concerns people have about overcrowding,” he said.

Five BOE Candidates Exchange Ideas At League of Women Voters’ Forum

With the election just a month away, five candidates, including two incumbents, for three available seats on the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) exchanged ideas at a public forum last Thursday at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation on Cherry Hill Road. In a 90-minute session sponsored by The Princeton League of Women Voters (LWV), incumbents Betsy Kalber Baglio and Dafna Kendal and new candidates Mary Clurman, Daniel J. Dart, and Brian McDonald presented their qualifications and answered questions on a wide range

of subjects, many related to recent concerns about school finances and the facilities referendum proposal planned for December 11. In a closing “lightning round,” where candidates were allowed to respond with only “yes” or “no,” the incumbents disagreed with the new contenders on two referendum-related questions, with Clurman and Dart doubting the demographic projections that support the need for expansion, and McDonald, Dart, and Clurman all claiming that the public had not Continued on Page 20

Kagan — would coincide with one of the most divisive nominations in the court’s history. But there they were at Jadw in G y m on Fr iday, October 5, just hours after nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s spot on the court was all but assured. Kavanaugh’s name was never mentioned during the discussion. The only reference made to the controversial appointment came when moderator Heather Gerken, a 1991 Princeton graduate and the dean of Yale L aw School, asked Kagan and Sotomayor how they view their roles given the current political climate. “This is a really divided time,” said Kagan, a 1981 graduate of the University. “Part of the court’s strength and part of the court’s legitimacy depends on people not seeing the court in the way that people see the other governing structures in this country …. People see the court as somehow above the fray.” Sotomayor, who graduated in 1976, stressed that despite opposing political beliefs, members of the court make an effort to be collegial, having lunches together and observing a rule that cases cannot be discussed at those times. “We have to rise above partisanship in our personal relationships,” she said. Kagan added, “People don’t realize that we agree on a lot. About half the time, we’re unanimous. Going forward, it’s not so clear whether we’ll have that middle position,” she said, referring to former justices and centrists Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy. S o m e 3,0 0 0 a l u m n a e packed Jadw in Gy m for the discussion. Many of the questions G erken posed were submitted by audience members. Asked to recall what it was like to be at Princeton during the early years that women were admitted, Sotomayor acknowledged feeling like “a fish out of water.” She grew up in the South Bronx and was the first in her family to go to college. “You never completely get past it,” she said. “But I finally felt I was in when they made me a trustee.” Kagan, who grew up on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, named Sean Wilentz, who still teaches at Princeton and was sitting in the

audience, as a key mentor. “He taught me how to write, which is a useful thing,” she said, adding she is grateful to him for convincing her that she didn’t want to be a historian after all. Clerking for Judge Abner Mikva, spending four years in the Clinton White House, and clerking for Justice Thurgood Marshall were other important influences that helped shape her career. Asked what advice they would give about picking a mentor, Sotomayor said, “Mostly, t hey pick you. Show them that you’re interested in learning. You have to demonstrate your ambition. Lots of people forget

that learning is a lifelong endeavor. It’s never too late to retool.” Gerken asked Sotomayor and Kagan, who was the first female dean of Harvard Law School, to share what it was like to frequently be “the only woman in the room.” Kagan said there was a picture in her office of the 13 previous deans — all white men. “The first thing I did was take it down,” she said, to laughter from the audience. “But in the end, people were very generous.” Sotomayor added, “You can’t be a professional woman, even today, whether it’s in law, medicine, any field, without having a moment where someone is going to treat you differently because you are a woman. But there were always men of good will. No matter how hostile an environment might seem, you have to look around. Because they’re out there.” Gerken asked the women to reflect on their four years at Princeton. “It was so transfor mational and it affected my existing life and everything that’s come since,” said Sotomayor. Kagan’s response: “I got the best education and the best friends. And it forced me to keep thinking about different points of view.” Finally, Gerken asked the women what they would like to be if they hadn’t become lawyers and, ultimately, Supreme Court justices. Sotomayor said “a salsa dancer … but I love the law.” Kagan answered, “Serena Williams.” —Anne Levin

Communities of Light™ Campaign Launched

Sunday, October 21st 12pm - 3pm LIVE MUSIC BY SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! FESTIVE FALL FOOD & BEVERAGE TREATS AROUND THE SQUARE

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Womanspace will launch the 2018 Communities of Light™ Peace Begins At Home campaign on October 23 at 5:30 p.m. at D&R Greenway Land Trust at 1 Preservation Place. This campaign, now in its 17th year, is a symbol of hope and solidarity for those affected by domestic and sexual violence in the community. Following the launch event, businesses, neighborhoods, and community organizations will be encouraged to purchase luminary kits, raise awareness of Womanspace’s services, and spread the message that “Peace Begins at Home.” Luminary kits are available directly from Womanspace and a variety of county retailers for $10. Money earned from the sale of luminary kits goes directly to providing crucial support services for those affected by domestic and sexual violence. Pam Mount, owner of Terhune Orchards, is this year’s honorary chair. Mount is an avid conservationist and Terhune is visited by over half a million people each year. Terhune has sold luminary kits for many years and maintains an active relationship with Womanspace. Sponsors this year include Mason, Griffin & Pierson, Investors Bank, Conair, and Sheilagh Mescal Gunstensen. Food and drinks are being donated by D’Angelo’s Italian Market, Terra Momo Restaurant Group, and Terhune Orchards. Those interested in sponsorships can contact Lauren Nazarian, director of development, at (609) 3940136 or at lan@womanspace. org. Additional information is available on www.woman space.org.

Question of the Week: “What role have women played in Princeton University’s history and development?” (Asked Saturday at the “She Roars” conference at PU) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)

“A lot of the programs progressing forward on Princeton’s campus, such as access and inclusion, have been spearheaded by women, both students and administrators. Women have been a key part of Princeton’s history and development because they have been pushing forward programs for people who may not have the same privileges as a white male entering Princeton.” —Karen Franco, PU ’18, Los Angeles, Calif.

“I was a student during Shirley Tilghman’s tenure. I think it was very inspiring to see a woman president at a major research university like Princeton. I think at the time, there was an emphasis on promoting women and giving them spaces in the sciences. There’s a long road to go still, but during her time, it was really great.” —Lin Meneguin, PU ’11, Argentina

The more intangible role is the feminism piece that we’ve talked a lot about in our classes, and it was brought up in the talk [at the conference luncheon] that women’s issues intersect so much with a lot of other issues, and women also become advocates with a lot of other groups that are underrepresented. When women empower each other and women empower those groups, it creates a lot of positive reinforcement in minority rights. “ —Isabel O’Connell, PU ’18, Connecticut

“Women were on the sidelines until pretty much the 1960s-70s, and eventually they were let in. They were pushed to the side and ignored, and I think over time the significance of their role has really grown and is respected as part of the community and part of the innovators that make Princeton University really great.” —Celeste Coleman Mannion, PU ’03, Dedham, Mass.

“Women have occupied positions of leadership in faculty, administration, and fundraising at the University, and have been mentors to generations of young women, including those who are currently students. Women have served a vital role in the future of the University, and are making sure that women continue to occupy very important roles.” —Abigail Simkus, PU ’85, with Julia Simkus, PU ’22, Washington Crossing, Pa.

Hav i ng re ceive d p os i tive feedback from individual BOE members, Sullivan planned to present his proposal at the start of last night’s meeting, before hearing comments from his colleagues and the public. “Whatever happens, we will come to a consensus,” he said. He continued, “On the national level things get rammed through with a 51 percent majority, but we need a consensus. We want to take a pause and go for something we can broadly accept. We don’t want to win the battle and divide the town.” Sullivan was confident that “a seven-month pause isn’t going to change things too much. Despite pressures of growth in the schools we could still be ready in 2022 for the population increases.” Population at PHS is projected to remain steady for the next three years before rising significantly, t hough g row t h at Joh n Witherspoon Middle School might necessitate the use of trailers or other accommodations for a year or more beginning in 2020, according to Cochrane. Sullivan explained the BOE’s change in t h in king over the past months. “ We’ve b e e n s e e k i n g a compromise that’s broadly acceptable,” he said. “Many people feel the previous proposals have been too much for one bite.” A group less happy about compromise and a delay in renovation and construction plans, the Yes For Princeton

Schools (Y4PS) group, was planning to join the discussion last night with its petition, signed by 550 at last count, urging the BOE “to place all the critical needs faci ng P r i nce ton P ublic Schools on the facilities referendum.” Citing severe needs for space in the schools, Y4PS wrote, ”If the PHS expansion is not part of the December 2018 referendum, the community is not likely to have another chance to approve the necessary funding before the overcrowding becomes intolerable and leads to drastic measures.” Cochrane expressed his hope that this group would remain engaged in the ongoing planning and would be supportive “when they see the commitment of the Board to follow through to fulfill the needs we have identified.” —Donald Gilpin

Mass Incarceration Is Topic Of Book Talk at Princeton

Guggenheim Fellow Bruce Wester n and MacA r t hur “Genius” Fellow Matthew Desmond will discuss mass incarceration and prisoner re-entry through the lens of Western’s new book, Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison. The conversation will be held at Princeton University on Monday, October 15, 4:30 p.m., in Robertson Hall. A book sale and signing will follow the discussion. In Homeward, Western draws from comprehensive interviews with more than 100 individuals to describe the difficult and tumultuous first year after release from prison — with poverty, racial

inequality, and other factors affecting re-entry into society. Western’s research examines trends in American economic inequality and the growth of the U.S. penal population. These topics are joined by an interest in the shifting landscape of American poverty over the last 40 years. The author of Punishment and Inequality in America, Western served as vice-chair of a consensus panel of the National Academy of Sciences on the causes and consequences of high rates of incarceration in the United States. He is professor of sociology and co-director of the Justice Lab at Columbia University. Western also is a Radcliffe Fellow and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Science and the National Academies of Science. Desmond is a professor of sociology at Princeton and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. His research focuses on poverty in America, city life, housing insecurity, public policy, racial inequality, and ethnography.

spoke in opposition to the plan. Freiman cited added traffic and burning of fossil fuels as major issues. One compromise suggested keeping one of the two trains for the Dinky trip, while the other one is used for PTC. A woman who commutes daily proposed that the Dinky be maintained for rush hours during the installation, making it available on other parts of the train system during the remainder of the time. While Clarke said he would take the suggestions and the community’s concerns back to NJ Transit, he reiterated that every car and conductor are needed for the installation. The deadline is December 31, and daily fines will be placed on NJ Transit if it is not in compliance by then. Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller told Clarke it was troubling to learn, after the initial announcement of the stoppage was made, that the Dinky line is not among those that are having PTC installed. “It really made things worse to feel a little bit like we’ve been hoodwinked,” she said. Councilwoman Heather Howard commented that Princeton is “pitching in to help” as the PTC is being put in elsewhere. “Are there any times others have pitched in to help us?” she asked Clarke. He responded, “All I can tell you is we’re going all out to meet the deadline,” adding that there will be customer service representatives on hand with printed schedules the first few days of the changeover.

The town has reached out to NJ Transit and the office of Gov. Phil Murphy about the issue. There are concerns that the stoppage will not only have an immediate negative effect, but will have long-term implications on Dinky ridership. Mayor Liz Lempert thanked Clarke and others for attending the meeting,

saying that while the town understands the looming deadline, it is hard to imagine how two cars that are critical to local commuters will make a huge difference in the overall installation program. “We all just implore you to take another look at this,” she said. —Anne Levin

“Growth will come to our town,” the flier noted. “The choice we have is whether to plan for that growth or just react to it.” Launching a new visioning study for the central business district (CBD), Princeton Future (PF) attracted a group of about 45 on Saturday morning in the Princeton Public Library to work together to imagine how Princeton can develop significant new public spaces. “Sustainability, social justice, economic health, and alleviation of tax burdens can provide the bedrock principles for a plan,” said PF President Kevin Wilkes. In his opening speech, Regional Plan Association President Thomas Wright, a Princeton resident whose or-

ganization develops plans for the entire New York City region, argued that growth in the coming years will be slowed by limitations in housing and infrastructure. He cited statistics showing that the suburbs are falling behind, that opportunities are limited for too many people, that there is a rising affordability crisis, that the region is increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters, and that government institutions are failing to make the decisions that need to be made. In that context, Wilkes introduced the PF visioning study. He mentioned underutilized space in the CBD, “space that could be envisioned differently for housing and for commercial retail opportunities,” smaller

spaces, and lower rents. He cited significant surface parking areas and numerous one- and two-story buildings as examples of that underutilized space. Wilkes then focused participants on housing needs, commercial needs, and place-making at four different Princeton locations: mid-block Nassau Street, the Park Place lot, the Griggs Corner lot, and “E=mc Square(d)” across from Firestone Library on Nassau Street. “The conversations began. We listened to each other. We have a good start,” said PF Co-founder and Administrator Sheldon Sturges. “There seem to be ways that we might excite the property owners in the CBD of the downtown to invest in creating more places to live, especially places for the rest of us.” PF, Sturges said, is creating design teams to envision place-making, bike lanes, wider sidewalks, office space, and residential living on each of the four sites. “We might then suggest that as owners build, they strive to build 50-50: 50 percent market units and 50 percent nonmarket units,” he said. “Right now the investment in many, many sites is limited by the parking requirement. We will explore providing the incentive of trading away the existing parking requirement in direct proportion to the percentage of non-market units provided.” In the coming year, PF promises “multiple meetings that engage participants in imagining the best for Princeton.” Sturges concluded, “Our town just might be able to remain a town that retains its historic diversity and becomes even more sustainable.” —Donald Gilpin

The Princeton Area Community Foundation is awarding a total of $3 million in grants to 10 nonprofit and school partnerships that will work to reduce chronic absenteeism in the region. Each partnership has been awarded a $300,000 All Kids Thrive grant that will be paid out over 5 years. This long-term commitment will likely reduce administrative burdens on schools and nonprofits, allowing them to focus on impact. All Kids Thrive is the Community Foundation’s new initiative to transform the lives of young people living in poverty, which is among the risk factors for chronic absenteeism. In Mercer County, more than 1 in 10 students are chronically absent from school — they miss an average of two days a month or about 10 percent of the school year. Those absences dramatically lower their chance of success throughout their lives. The 10 partnerships will work in four communities: Trenton and Hamilton, which have the highest levels of chronic absenteeism in the county, and in Lawrence and Princeton, whose district rates fall below 10 percent, but have rates among certain student groups that are well above 10 percent. In Princeton, the Princeton Family YMCA will work with Corner House Behavioral Health and The Corella & Bertram F. Bonner Foundation at Princeton High School and Witherspoon Middle School to reduce chronic absenteeism among boys of color. With the Princeton Stronger Together Partnership, they will replicate THREAD, a team-mentoring program proven successful in

TLC with

students, broadening their social networks, academic opportunities, and enrichment activities. Collaborators will also provide pro bono resources to students and their families, such as employment opportunities, housing and healthcare. The George H. and Estelle M. Sands Foundation, NJM Insurance Group, and Verizon have pledged financial support to All Kids Thrive. The partnerships awarded All Kids Thrive grants have designed plans that require parents, educators, students, and nonprofit leaders to work together to help keep kids in school. Often that means providing services for entire families. “We are thrilled about the community’s enthusiasm for All Kids Thrive,’’ said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Community Foundation. “We look forward to working with our nonprofit friends, teachers, parents and school administrators on these plans. We are also grateful for the financial support we have already received, and we hope other funders will join us as we work to strengthen the educational pipeline in Mercer County.” In Lawrence, Every Child Valued (EVC) will work with the Eggerts Crossing Village

focusing on students living in that neighborhood and other low-income students who attend Lawrenceville Elementary, Franklin Elementary, Slackwood Elementary, Eldridge Park Elementary, and Lawrenceville Intermediate schools. EVC already runs successful after-school and summer programs for children at Eggerts Crossing. They plan to begin a breakfast program, and they will hire a monitor to supervise children at the local bus stop because before-care is a problem for parents there. They also plan to add another learning coach at their fourth to sixth grade after-school program because parents indicated students are missing school because of incomplete homework. The organization will also host quarterly dinners for parents and will connect families with other social service agencies. Trenton organizations include Arm in Arm, HedgepethWilliams Middle School of the Arts, Mercer Street Friends, the Trenton Health Team, Trenton Public Schools, and the Trenton Prevention Policy Board at The College of New Jersey.

Littlebrook Resident Expresses Concerns About Board Plans for Thanet Property

To the Editor: As a resident of the Littlebrook neighborhood, it has come to my attention via the newspapers and word of mouth that the School Board is proposing to move their administrative offices, as well as buses to the Thanet property off of Terhune Road. I would like to make the following points with regards to this issue: First: The school system/town should first provide all interested parties in the area of their plans in detail. To find out about a plan that will impact daily life in a neighborhood via the newspapers is entirely unacceptable and possibly illegal if it affects air quality, noise levels etc. in an area that is not zoned for their proposed use at least with regards to buses. Second: The Board of Education should provide an assessment of the collective impact of this poorly defined proposal on the neighborhood. Specifically the impact of the personnel, the buses etc. on daily traffic patterns and environment. Will buses be going in and out all day? How many buses for example. Third: The Board should understand that this move is not to some industrialized zone, but rather to a neighborhood with children who walk to school, people who walk outside, and that the effect of their proposals is far ranging on both traffic, air quality, noise, etc. Finally, is there any coordination with the proposed Sunrise development on the corner of Harrison and Terhune? How about the collective impact on traffic, etc. of both? Has there been any discussion between the zoning and education board? It seems unreasonable to proceed with either plan until the effects of both can be assessed fully on the area as well as on each other. In conclusion, the outcome of this proposal depends on the referendum. We in the Littlebrook neighborhood are voters. Given the high handed way this proposal has been put forward without any clear direction and forethought, many will vote no on this issue. REGINA ALIVISATOS Terhune Road

The school is crowded, classrooms are often too hot to concentrate, and bathrooms are in disrepair. Class sizes vary from small to large, which in my opinion is not as much of a problem as battling large crowds of students trying to navigate from class to class. The schedule allows for four minutes between classes, and it can be nearly impossible to get from one class to another in this amount of time due to the distances and crowds. Classrooms are often much warmer than the outside air temperature, which can create a less than ideal learning environment. Temperatures that help maintain focus are even more important now that block scheduling has been implemented, bringing longer class periods. The bathrooms also need to be improved. Many of the sinks do not work properly, which makes hand washing impossible. An informal survey of my peers revealed that many students would like to see improvements in the bathrooms, with better sinks, more closed-off stalls, automatic soap dispensers, and automatic hand dryers being the most popular requests. I strongly urge those who are able to vote to support a referendum to renovate the High School. OLIVIA BENEVENTO PHS Sophomore

Housing Initiatives of Princeton Supporting Consensus BOE Candidate With Creativity and Leadership Rent Party Draws 120 People Demonstrated To the Editor: To the Editor: Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) held its annual Rent Party on Saturday, September 22 when over 120 people gathered at the beautiful home of Melanie and John Clarke to help us “raise the rent” to assist low-income working families in our community. Through the generosity of our supporters — and the more than 40 event sponsors — HIP raised more than $48,000 which we will use to provide transitional housing with family-focused supportive services and emergency rental assistance to help families avoid homelessness and move towards long-term self-sufficiency. In addition to the all-volunteer HIP board who worked very hard to make the event a success, HIP has a bunch

Princetonians attending the many School Board meetings on the proposed referendum this summer witnessed levels of division that rivaled our national political scene. The silver lining to emerge from that acrimonious process is that it propelled a truly exceptional candidate, Brian McDonald, to run for the School Board. In his previous statements, Brian correctly frames this issue as a struggle for our town to meet the twin goals of offering high quality schools for all of its citizens and maintaining affordability, particularly for those Princetonians on a limited or fixed income. Each of these is a difficult goal on its own, but it will take creativity and leadership for us to achieve both simultaneously. Brian brings these qualities to the table. In his professional life, he has started

and grown successful businesses. Following that, he led the development team at Princeton University. Brian also has volunteered his time and expertise in public finance in many capacities around town. For seven years, he was a part of the Citizen Financial Advisory Committee and contributed to the development of policies pertaining to capital spending and debt management, changes to the budget process, the development of an annual newsletter, and other efforts to make the town’s finances more transparent and understandable. Everyone in town has already benefitted from this as the resulting transparency has ensured more cost-effective municipal services and lower tax growth. He also has served on the boards of many of our town’s cherished institutions, including 17 years at McCarter Theatre as well as Sustainable Princeton. Everyone who has worked with Brian in these capacities realizes right away that he brings a tremendous dedication and collegiality to the mission of the organization. We are so fortunate that he now wants to join the Board of Education at this critical time. Whether your focus on the current referendum debate is on guaranteeing schools with adequate capacity to serve our community or on minimizing the property tax impact, Brian is a candidate for your cause. His dedication is to find a creative solution and to build consensus around it within the community so that the referendum fight does not leave lasting rancor within our town. We are lucky to have him as a candidate at this time and we whole-heartedly endorse him. AMY CRAFT, KIAN ESTEGHAMAT Poe Road

Supporting Betsy Baglio and Dafna Kendal For Continued Service on School Board

To the Editor: Regardless of which side you fall on the referendum, it is clear that Betsy Baglio and Dafna Kendal are working day and night, as current School Board members, to be positive change agents. As a parent who has worked closely with the school board and administration over the past decade, I can understand that being a Board member is not an easy job. I appreciate Betsy and Dafna’s tenacity and resolve to delve into great detail on many topics, and actively work towards solutions. They do the hard work that I expect from a School Board member by asking tough questions and giving challenging answers. They are working to improve Board transparency and encourage community participation. I feel they are honestly trying to look at all sides, make compromises when needed, and be vocal on sensitive matters. As for the current referendum debate, there are clearly building safety and structural upgrades that need to be addressed. I can support those items proposed in question one of the referendum, but feel it is prudent to wait on many of the other features until further cost-effective ideas and internal solutions have been fully explored. Detailed yearly operational expense analysis and long-term facility maintenance protocols are paramount. I am confident that Dafna and Betsy will work through these challenges to support the needs of students, staff, and the community. The school district will benefit from their continued service.

Emphasizing Significance of Data Points In Recent Letter on Reducing Cost of Bond

To the Editor: Ralph Perry’s letter [“Ideas to Help Solve Overcrowding In Schools and Reduce Cost of Bond,” Mailbox, October 3] presents a pair of interrelated data points whose joint significance appears to need emphasizing. He notes that the school system has plans to buy a particular property on Thanet Road for $12.6 million, on which its present owners are paying taxes of $230,000 a year. The selling price is disproportionate to the tax payments. Taxes of $230,000 per year project to an assessed valuation of approximately 9.7 million, not 12.6 million. If and when this transaction takes place, logically either the school system should pay less or the sellers should pay back taxes at least back to the general revaluation circa 2010 on the underassessment they have been benefiting from — preferably with interest.

It’s Never “Only a Game” — John McPhee Makes Things Matter

arly morning, early October, my wife and I are walking along the Delaware near Lambertville, the roar of the rapids so loud there’s no talking until we’re past the sound, heading south toward Washington’s Crossing. Downriver near Pennsbury Manor my paternal ancestors John and Sarah were indentured servants on William Penn’s estate, having come to America with him from England in 1682 on the good ship Welcome. I’m mindful of my roots these days after unloading boxes of family photos, clippings, genealogies, old letters, and journals like my mother’s from the time she and my father took a cruise up the St. Lawrence to visit Barnhart’s Island, the home of her maternal ancestors. Just before she died, my mother, who grew up in river towns like St. Joseph, on the Missouri, and Smithville, on the Little Platte, told me, “Go down to the river.” My scholar father’s last words were “What’s on the agenda for today?” It would be hard to find two sentences more expressive of the differences between my parents and their families. McPhee 33 Being one of those St. Louis Cardinal fans who enjoys imagining a symbiotic relationship between the bird and the baseball team, whenever I hear a cardinal singing sweet sweet in our backyard these days I feel like saying “What have you got to sing about?” A year ago I was indulging in a similar lament while writing here about John McPhee’s 32nd book Draft No. 4. Now I’m reading number 33, The Patch (Farrar Straus and Giroux $26), and finding comradely reassurance in his image of the disciplined, self-denying writer who will put off domestic chores, “excuse himself from the idle crowd, go into his writing sanctum, shut the door, shoot the bolt, and in lonely sacrifice turn on the Mets game.” When I turn on a do-or-die Cardinals game after a day engrossed in the Ford/ Kavanaugh hearings, I have little hope that the season can be saved. In spite of the storybook surge driven by an influx of youthful pitching and hitting and a new manager, everything has come down to one moment in the last game of a series with the Milwaukee Brewers. In the National Pastime it’s all about home. Other sports refer to the goal, the endzone and such, but in baseball the metaphorical significance of “home” makes scoring personal, a family matter, as in “home is where the heart is,” home is what it takes “a heap of living” to make a house of, the place where, contrary to Thomas Wolfe, you can go time and again, and if you’re on the home team and happen to hit a home run or score the game winner in the last of the

ninth, you’ll have a hero’s welcome as you cross the plate, falling into the arms of your brothers to be joyously mobbed and doused with buckets of water. This season the Cardinals had enjoyed more than their share of walk-off celebrations, not to mention numerous comeback wins. The distance between third base and home plate is the ground zero of baseball. Whole seasons can die there, which happened to the Cardinals when a rookie named Adolis Garcia, one of their fastest players, was sent in to run for a slower teammate with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning. The move appears to pay off when wild throw sends him running, suddenly there’s hope, here he comes, rounding third heading for home ; if he scores, the game’s tied, a n d t h e r e’s a glimmer of life fo r t h e h o m e team with extra innings on the agenda. And he’s fast, oh he’s really fast, he’s sure to beat the t h r ow, e xc e pt that after making the turn at t hird he loses his footing and stumbles, falling forward and d ow n, a l l t h e way down, and though he’s up again in an ins tant, it’s too late, ground zero has become the Bermuda Triangle, for there stands the catcher, a human wall blocking the way, and the youth yearning for home can only stagger back at the threshold, a craven, deeply humiliating, excuse-me defeat, and that’s when everyone watching knows, if they ever doubted it, that the 2018 Cardinals are toast. “It’s only a game,” Mickey Mantle’s wife is said to have told her tearful husband after Roberto Clemente and the Pirates defeated the Yankees in the 1960 World Series. Try telling that to Adolis Garcia. He’ll be back. He’s 25, hits with power and runs well, with 37 homeruns and 25 stolen bases in the minors, but it’s never going to be “only a game” for him. That stumble will haunt him as long as he lives and will also stand as the defining image for the end of what could have been a Cinderella season: the moment when the carriage turns back into a pumpkin and the horses to mice.

MASON CONTRACTORS

Life, Art & McPhee Two days later we’re on another walk, this time on the towpath of the D &R canal off Quaker Road. As it happens, this is the path that crosses a golf course and I’ve been reading McPhee’s account of fishing for golf balls with his trusty Orange Trapper fly rod (“You could conduct an orchestra with it”) and of the St. Andrews Open where the winner tells a reporter “It’s still just a game you’re playing” after he and the runner-up have scored “more than a million pounds” between them. Reading McPhee, life and art coalesce. Today of all days, on a canal path we’ve walked for 30 years, we pass a stylish Japanese woman stylishly fishing with the mos t gente ely fem i n i ne f is h ing rod I’ve ever seen. It’s like a Vo g u e p h o t o s h o ot w it h ou t t h e p h oto g r a pher. She has a tidy little bag on her hip, with a fishing license in evidence, but compared to the people fishing a few miles far ther nor th from the wooden bridge overlooking L ake Carnegie she might as well be painting a watercolor. Once aga i n Mc Phe e has heightened my sense of an activit y I have lit tle interest in, at least not since the one time I was taken fishing as a child and fell into the White River. Inspired by the title chapter of The Patch, I’m almost tempted to tell the woman about McPhee’s adventures in pursuit of the chain pickerel, “the lone ambush hunter” that can “accelerate like a bullet.” I had the same conversational impulse as the path crossed the links, bringing us within earshot of two middle-aged golfers. Did they sign their golf balls? Did they agree with McPhee that “the weight of ballpoint ink” could alter the “pattern of flight” and affect “the precision of their shots”? Incredible thought. What do I care about golf? With the exception of playing the miniature version on vacations with my parents (where else can kids tilt at wind-mills?), the sport has been the epitome of so-whatness to me dating back to Ike, whom Gore Vidal liked

to call “the Great Golfer.” Even worse, far worse, golf is currently associated with the terrible twosome, Donald Trump and Lindsey Graham, the inflatable master and his feral lackey. In fact, both these walks, river and canal, have occurred in the shadow of the Brett Kavanaugh debacle. Making It Matter I hadn’t intended to write about The Patch until closer to the book’s November 13 publication date, but once you find yourself responding to activities of no interest for you as if they mattered very much, it’s hard to resist sharing the experience. For example, here’s McPhee in the St. Andrews chapter (“Linksland and Bottle”) describing what one golfing authority calls the best view in all of sports: “It’s a Brueghelian scene against the Nor th Sea, w ith golfers ever y where across the canvas — putting here, driving there, chipping and blasting in syncopation, but being too smart to loft a wedge lest the ball be blown to the streets of St. Andrew a mile and a half away. When we turn around, the rest of the course is visible, all the way back to the masonry of the medieval town: golfers and galleries stopping and moving, moving and stopping — it’s like watching a Swiss astronomical clock reacting to the arrival of noon.” Better yet is what McPhee pulls off in the next paragraph concerning the point “where the eleventh and seventh fairways cross,” which “may have been thought out by the same ram and ewe that caused West Fourth Street to wander all over Greenwich Village and eventually intersect West Twelfth.” And he does all this locked into his “writing sanctum” where discipline and self-denial give way to baseball. ——— All but one of my references come from Part I of The Patch, “The Sporting Scene.” Part II, “An Album Quilt,” a patchwork of pieces that have never appeared in book form, is deserving of a separate discussion closer to the publication date. The range covered is dizzying, from the author’s recollection of his first drink to quick studies of luminaries such as Joan Baez, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, and Thomas Wolfe, who wore sizethirteen shoes, “carrying his eccentricities with him until fame had transformed them into folklore.” ohn McPhee will be at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, October 24, at 6 p.m. with his former students, Kushanava Choudhury, author of The Epic City: The World on the Streets of Calcutta and novelist Elisabeth Cohen, author of The Glitch. —Stuart Mitchner

Books Two Authors Reading At Labyrinth Event

Gayle Salamon and Jordy Rosenberg will be reading from and talking about new work on issues of queer and trans identities and justice at Labyrinth on Thursday, October 11 at 6 p.m. This event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council In The Life and Death of Latisha King, Salamon examines the shooting of 15-year-old Latisha King by 14-year-old Brandon McInerney in their junior high school classroom. Unpacking the consequences of representing the victim as

Larry, a gay boy, instead of Latisha, a trans girl, she draws on the resources of feminist phenomenology to analyze what happened in the school and at the trial that followed and considers how gender functions in the social world. In Confessions of the Fox, according to Sarah McCarry’s review in Tor.com, “Rosenberg turns the conventional antihero’s journey on its head, quilting together a dazzling array of references from Patrick Chamoiseau2 to J.L. Austin to build a novel that is equal parts anticapitalist, anticolonial queer history and delicious, exuberantly sexy caper.” A professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University, Salamon is the author of Assuming a Body:

Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality, which won the Lambda Literary Award. A New York Times Editor’s Choice selection, Confessions of the Fox is long-listed for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. Rosenberg is a professor of 18th-Century Literature, Gender and Sexuality Studies + Critical Theory at The University of Massachusetts-Amherst.

A.M. Homes Reading At Labyrinth October 16

Library Live at Labyrinth Presents A.M. Homes reading from her new collection, Days of Awe: Stories, on Tuesday, October 16 at 6 p.m. The event is sponsored by Labyrinth, Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, and the Princeton Public Library. According to Zadie Smith, bestselling author of Swing Time, Homes is a writer who is always “furiously good.” Ramona Ausubel, in The New York Times Book Rev iew, says that “A.M. Homes skillfully circles and tugs at the question of what it means to live in flawed, fragile, hungry human bodies … Days of Awe is sliced through with Homes’s dark humor … one wants to read passages of a Homes story aloud because they are so fine.” Days of Awe is Homes’s first book since the Women’s Prize-winning May We Be Forgiven. She is also the author of the memoir The Mistress’s Daughter and the novels This Book Will Save Your Life, Music for Torching, The End of Alice, In a Country of Mothers, and Jack, as well as the story collections The Safety of Objects and Things You Should Know. Homes teaches creative writing at The Lewis Center for the Arts.

notable stone buildings on the Princeton University campus. The house has had a number of distinguished owners, including Judge William Clark, chief justice of the Allied Appeals Court in Nuremburg; Ambassador Ann Martindell; and Nicholas Katzenbach, attorney general of the United States under President Lyndon Johnson. The current owners renovated the dwelling. Some features from when the home served as a Junior League showhouse remain, including a vibrantly hued staircase personally painted by architect Michael Graves. The house contains a collection of 19th and 20th century art from around the world. Prolific Princeton builderarchitect Charles Steadman built the house at 72 Library Place in 1836 at 26 Library Place. The house was moved to its current location in 1889, when Woodrow Wilson, then a Princeton University faculty member, made it his first home in Princeton before becoming governor of New Jersey and president of the United States. Classic Steadman details including elegant transoms, molding, and fireplaces, remain preserved. A formal garden sits adjacent to the house. Also known as Rothers Barrows, the house at 52 Arreton Road, designed by famed Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre Jr. of Eyre and McIlvaine, was built in 1919 as part of a large Princeton equestrian estate. One of New Jersey’s finest examples of the American Arts and Crafts style, Rothers Barrows is on both the New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places. The current owners extensively renovated and restored the home, preserving important period features such as original Moravian tile, windows, and woodwork. Publications have featured the intricate foyer ceiling. “Princeton’s uniqueness and historicity as a town is grounded in its remarkable built environment,” said HSP Executive Director Izzy Kasdin. “This year’s tour provides a window into almost two centuries of architectural development in Princeton and the varied styles that define our town’s landscape. We’re so pleased to be able to recognize homeowners who steward this long legacy of magnificent architecture in Princeton. The house tour is always an enjoyable and enriching experience for all involved!” Advance tickets are $45 for HSP members and $50 for

non-members. All tickets purchased the day of the tour are $50. Proceeds help fund the Historical Society’s core mission activities throughout the year, including exhibitions, historical collections access, and engaging educational programming for schools, families, and adults.

On the day of the event, all tickets must be purchased at Updike Farmstead, 354 Quaker Road, before venturing to any of the houses on the tour.

The Historical Society of Princeton’s 17th Annual House Tour is planned for Saturday, November 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Six houses will be open for the event, which celebrates significant architecture and design in the community. Each home is a distinct example of its own time and style. Visitors will observe modifications, redesigns, furnishings, and personal art collections during the self-guided tour. The Italianate and Gothic style house at 86 Mercer Street is the official residence for the president of the Princeton Theological Seminary. Architect John Notman — also responsible for Prospect House, Lowrie House, and Guernsey Hall in Princeton — designed the original portion of the house, circa 1851. Built on land owned by the Stockton family, the house was presented by Commodore Robert Field Stockton to his son, probably as a wedding present. The house has enjoyed a recent major renovation, with much of the magnificent original cast ironwork restored and with modifications to make the building comfortable as a modern family home. The stucco contemporary architectural house at 50 Random Road was designed by Studio Hillier in 2012. The house represents a growing wave of modern and sustainable design in Princeton, featuring a sedum-covered green roof, rain cistern, bamboo flooring, smart thermostats, solar panels, and an electric car charging station. The house boasts large, open common spaces to encourage togetherness. Beechwood Landscape Architecture and Construction developed the relaxing outdoor space, through which Harry’s Brook flows. The classic early 20th century stone house at 34 Cleveland Lane is one of the earliest residences on the street. A recent top-to-bottom renovation was done by A+B Architectural Design Lab, blending a contemporary addition with original historic features. A large, sun-soaked eat-in kitchen was added during the renovation and the backyard was extensively relandscaped. An extended sunroom with cork flooring opens toward a new pool. Paintings by Dutch masters hang on the home’s walls. The grand Georgian Revival home at 117 Library Place was built on the former Morven Tract in 1905 by the Matthews Construction Company, which later built many of the

“JALOUSIE (13.2)”: Two exhibitions by James Carl are now on view at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton. For them, Carl used corrugated cardboard and Venetian blinds to create his works. “James Carl: oof” is on view through January 5, 2020, and “James Carl: woof” runs through March 17, 2019.

James Carl Exhibits at Grounds For Sculpture

Grounds For Sculpture (GFS ) presents two exhibitions by Canadian ar tist James Carl. The newly opened “James Carl: oof” is on view in GFS’s East Galler y through Januar y 5, 2020, and “James Carl: woof ” is on view in the D om e s t ic A r t s B u i ld i ng through March 17, 2019. Carl makes his first major U.S. debut at GFS with these two parallel sculpture exhibitions. “James Carl: oof” is a monumentally scaled wall relief constructed from corrugated cardboard. It uses the iconic cast-pulp commercial egg carton as a formal starting point and explodes that structure across the full length of the East Gallery’s 80-foot-long, accordion-shaped wall. Carl’s geometric version of the egg carton is computer-cut, hand-assembled, and installed by the dozens on the vast wall. Carl observes that the work’s visual “noise” will contrast with its acoustic flattening of the space. As with much of Carl’s work, “oof” makes use of common materials and cultural reference points in the generation of a visuallycharged experience. The title of the work alludes simultaneously to the visual punch of the piece and to the French word, oeuf, meaning egg. Other examples in American culture of such an approach to surface modulation date to the early days of rock n’ roll, when egg cartons were used to balance the acoustics of recording and performance spaces. This approach became the norm and was used by garage and grunge bands from New Jersey to Seattle. “Relief sculpture is explicit in its reliance on architecture to give it a place in the world. It struggles with three dimensionality and autonomy, using spatial illusion, pattern, and implied movement as means to exceed its architectural confines,” says Carl. “In both Neo-Classical and Modern examples, relief is exploited for socially didactic purposes — affording walls a voice.” I n t h e D om e s t i c A r t s B u i l d i n g, “J a m e s C a r l : woof” features work from Carl ’s “Jalousie” ser ies.

T he exhibition takes its name from the language of weaving: the warp and the woof (or weft) are the primary axes in woven material. The series of sculptures takes its title from the colloquial French name for venetian blinds: jalousie. The individual works are meticulously crafted using the slats of these blinds, in a conventional weaving pattern that produces unconventional results. This exhibition features nine newly created works in the series. All works in this exhibition are on loan courtesy of the artist and TrépanierBaer Gallery, Calgary. Grounds For Sculpture is located at 80 Sculptors Way in Hamilton. For more information, visit www.groundsforsculpture.org.

October Proclaimed Arts Month by Gov. Murphy

The ArtPride New Jersey Foundation and the New Jersey State Council have announced that Governor Phil Murphy has officially proclaimed October 2018 as Discover Jersey Arts Month. Held in conjunction with National Arts and Humanities Month, Discover Jersey Arts Month celebrates all of the joy, entertainment, and enrichment the state’s arts bring to our communities. Intended to encourage all New Jerseyans to explore the many cultural offerings found throughout the Garden State, Discover Jersey Arts Month also highlights the often-overlooked economic, educational, and social impact the arts have on our lives. “Governor Murphy’s proclamation acknowledges the incredible arts in our state and how vital they are to our towns and cities,” said Adam Perle, president and CEO of ArtPride New Jersey. “We are glad to have a governor that understands that the arts play an important and unique role in the lives of New Jersey’s residents. From helping children excel in school to spreading cultural awareness and understanding, boosting economic development and tourism to improving health and wellness, the arts create vibrant, thriving communities.” New Jerseyans and regional visitors are invited to

commemorate Discover Jersey Arts Month by enjoying arts events throughout the state. A special guide highlighting dozens of fun fall festivities can be found at www.JerseyArts.com/ArtoberNJ. “The arts industry in New Jersey is thriving and tenacious — and one of our state’s most important assets,” said Allison Tratner, interim executive director of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. “Hundreds of theaters, galleries, museums, arts centers and artists are livening up towns in every corner of the state. No matter where you choose to visit, work, or live, there is sure to be something happening right in your own backyard.” Visit JerseyArts.com for information on upcoming performances and exhibitions, as well as details on how to become a Jersey Arts Member and receive special ticket deals, access to exclusive events, arts news, and other benefits.

DRBC Fall Photo Contest Now Open

T he DR BC’s Delaware River Basin Fall Photo Contest is now open and accepting entries until November 15. The contest highlights amateur and professional photography that conveys the beauty, diversity, function, and significance of the water resources of the Delaware River Basin, a 13,539-square mile watershed. In fall, the basin comes alive with color as nature begins to transition to the colder months ahead, and the DRBC is interested in seeing and sharing photographs that celebrate the season and the water resources that nearly 15 million people depend on for drinking, agriculture, and industrial use. The winning image will be chosen by a panel of judges at DRBC. It will be published in the commission’s annual report, on its social media pages, and will also be featured on its website. All entrants will receive a certificate of appreciation from the commission. More information on the contest is available at www. nj.gov/drbc/basin/photo/ photo-contest.html.

been sufficiently informed about the referendum project and its costs. On the other lightning round questions, all candidates ag reed t hat t he schools should not have armed security guards at entrances ; that the Dual Language Immersion Program should be expanded; that PPS and the Princeton Char ter S chool need to make greater efforts to work together; and that the district should create a citizens facilities advisory committee to assist the BOE. Baglio, who has one son at Community Park Elementary and another at John Witherspoon Middle School and has served on the BOE for three years, emphasized the value of her experience on the BOE and as a public school teacher and her work as an education consultant. “My perspective is really important at this time,” she said. “I believe the Board would benefit from continuity of leadership, and I look forward to continuing the work I have begun. Baglio argued for the value of a new 5/6 school and emphasized the progress the district has been making in transparency and communication with the community. She mentioned plans for a new website before the end of the year and other improvements in communication. “I’m a collaborator by nature,” she said, and she noted important progress that had been made through effective collaboration among staff, students,

parents, community members, and the Board. “Critical thinking is what we’re trying to teach kids,” said Mary Clurman, a retired Montessori teacher. ”We need to practice it ourselves. I wish these referendum ideas were more detailed.” She emphasized the need for a new approach. ”The expertise on the Board is limited, and this town is full of experts. The community is the best resource that we have.” Questioning the credibility of the current Board and its referendum plans, Clurman called for more community outreach, more research on the referendum proposal, and greater student involvement in the whole process. Dart, with one daughter who went through PPS and one daughter currently in fifth grade at Johnson Park Elementary, also expressed concern about the financial knowledge of the Board and pointed out his own background in business and finance. Dart, who has 30 years of experience in business, most recently as chief operating officer at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, noted that the BOE had “a lot of education skills and experience, but not much business experience.” Dart stated that he strongly supported the $27M referendum proposal that covered the critical facilities needs, but claimed that the additional call for a new 5/6 school and the acquisition of additional property “is not a well-thought-out plan. There are more cost effective solutions to handle growth and enrollment increases.”

He added, “We should take our time. We would be piling new debt onto old debt. There’s no reason to rush.” Dafna Kendal, who has one child at Littlebrook Elementary and one at JWMS and chairs the BOE facilities committee, noted some of the accomplishments during her three-year tenure and pointed out some of the challenges ahead. “I’m proud of the work that has been done and look forward to the work that needs to be done,” she said. Among the positive changes, she cited the later start t i m e at P r i nceton H igh School, the focus on student wellness, dialogues on race and equity, new personnel hired, successful negotiation of labor union contracts, voluntary contributions from local institutions, and the ongoing work on the referendum plans. “We need to do more to have an engaged community,” McDonald stated, noting his background in public finance and on a facilities planning group at Princeton University. “Much more active involvement with the community is needed. We need to work hard, creatively, and together to find a way forward.” With three children who have gone through PPS, where the youngest is now a sophomore at Princeton High S chool, McDonald emphasized, “Our schools are now at a critical point in their history.” Agreeing with Clurman and Dart that the referendum process needed more community involvement, McDonald concluded, “We need to take more time

to bring more people to the table. This is a community that loves to be engaged and involved.” McDonald, a sculptor and designer who also advises nonprofits on governance and fundraising, served as vice president for development at Princeton University for eight years and before that worked in public finance.

Princeton University recently contributed $50,000 to Princeton Community Housing’s ( PCH ) capital campaign in recognition of PCH’s 50th anniversary and the longtime collaborative relationship between the two institutions. “The University is pleased to support Princeton Community Housing’s capital campaign to acknowledge our strong and multi-faceted collaboration,” said Kristin Appelget, Princeton University’s director of community and regional affairs. “This milestone anniversary gave us an excellent opportunity to make an additional investment with PCH towards providing affordable housing in the community.” In 1967, Princeton University was one of 18 organizations that together established PCH. Over time, University faculty and staff have served on the PCH Board of Trustees; Vice President for Facilities Kyu Whang sits as a current trustee and Vice President for University Services Chad Klaus serves on the PCH Development Corporation Board. Over the past 50 years, PCH has worked to provide local affordable housing and today owns 466 rental homes in Princeton and manages, or serves as an administrative agent for, an additional 251 homes in Princeton and Mercer County. This total in-

ects: 56 homes at the Merwick Stanworth complex, four homes at the corner of Leigh Avenue and Bayard Lane, and six homes on Leigh Avenue. The relationship between the University and PCH is also strengthened by countless hours of service that Princeton students have volunteered to the organization over many years to support resident programs and activities. In a unique recent collaboration, University students and PCH joined forces through the work of a student-led TigerChallenge team in developing guides to help make the affordable housing application process in Princeton more user-friendly. “We are very thankful for the University’s steadfast collaboration and generous support, and particularly for this donation, which highlights the start of the public phase of our capital campaign to provide additional affordable homes in Princeton and enhance the lives of our residents,” said Edward Truscelli, PCH executive director. “As we reflect on 50 years of service, we are more energized than ever about our exciting future within the Princeton community.”

to walk on the moon. Subsequently, the NASA astronaut never sought to cash in on his celebrity status. Instead, he eschewed fame and fortune and withdrew from the limelight in favor of sharing his experiences in the classroom as a college professor. He even discouraged biographers until he finally agreed to cooperate with James R. Hansen on the book First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong. Published in 2005, the book has been adapted to the screen by Oscar-winning scriptwriter Josh Singer ( Spotlight). However, the movie covers 1961 through 1969 — Armstrong’s early years in the space program — and ending with Apollo 11’s historic lunar landing. The picture reunites Damien Chazelle and Ryan Gosling, whose collaboration on the delightful musical La La Land (2016) earned Chazelle the Best Director Academy Award and Gosling a nomination as the Lead Actor. First Man describes the astronauts’ perilous training regimen and portrays Arm-

strong’s struggles with his job and his family life. The movie’s somber tone is set when Neil’s and his wife Janet’s (Claire Foy) 2-year-old daughter Karen loses her battle with brain cancer. Armstrong then throws himself into his preparations for space flight, and his emotional unavailability puts a strain on his relationship with his family. The risks associated with the Gemini and Apollo programs further intensify Armstrong’s palpable angst after numerous astronauts died in accidents during training, including his close friends Ed White (Jason Clarke) and Elliot See (Patrick Fugit). The movie is a fitting tribute to an American icon best remembered as a humble, vulnerable soul with human frailties. Very Good (HHH). Rated PG -13 for peril, mature themes, and brief profanity. Running time: 141 minutes. Production Studio: Amblin Entertainment/Perfect World Pictures/Dreamworks/Universal Pictures/Temple Hill Entertainment. Studio: Universal Pictures. —Kam Williams

Volker’s TD Run Sets Tone for Princeton Football As 4-0 Tigers Set Records in 66-7 Rout of Lehigh

harlie Volker’s sprinting prowess has helped him earn Ivy League titles for the Princeton University track team. In the fall, Volker’s blazing speed has resulted in him becoming one of the top running backs in program history for Princeton’s football team. For Volker, his dual athletic focus keeps him sharp through the school year. “What I love most about doing both sports is that I am competing year round,” said Volker, a 6’0, 220-pound native of Fair Haven, N.J. who won the Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal 60-meter dash in 2016 and helped the 4x100 relay take the Outdoor Heps crown last spring. “There are not a lot of weekends in the year that I am not at a competition. That is awesome because it keeps me on my toes; it keeps me working towards something always. It is so clear to me; here is this thing to get done for this weekend and get after it.” Last Saturday, Volker got after it, gaining 68 yards rushing with two touchdowns as Princeton routed visiting Lehigh 66-7, improving to 4-0 overall. Volker got things going for the Princeton offense, darting 52 yards for a TD with 10:41 left in the first quarter.

“The line did a great job stretching that thing out so it was pretty easy for me to make a cut,” said Volker, who scored on a one-yard run in the second quarter and now has 25 rushing touchdowns in his career, eighth best in program history, to go with 1,667 yards rushing so far as a Tiger. “I pretty much went untouched the rest of the way because there was a lot of green there.” In reflecting on Princeton’s prolific offense that is averaging 53 points a contest, Volker said it is the product of a daily effort. “All I know is that we come out to practice every day and we just work hard every day and we trust the scheme,” said Volker of the Tigers, who are 4-0 for the only the second time since 1995. “If we come out in the game and we play like we do in practice, we will be alright. One of his mottos of coach Gleeson (offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson) has been “work so hard that we achieve things that we were not aware of before.” Right now we are just trying to do that. The numbers come as a byproduct of how hard we work and that is just proof that we are working hard.” Junior defensive lineman Joey DeMarco likes the way the Tiger defense is working well together.

“Everybody is just confident right now, everyone is making plays,” said DeMarco, who has six tackles in the win with a sack and a forced fumble. “Everyone knows what their role is, everyone is doing really well. We are returning a lot of players, we are going to know each and the communication is going to be good.” Having been sidelined last year, DeMarco is relishing have a starring role this fall for the Tigers. “I feel like I am getting better every week in terms of playing a lot of reps,” said DeMarco, a 6’4, 265-pound native of Del Mar, Calif. “It is definitely really special playing with my teammates again. It feels really great.” Princeton head coach Bob Surace wasn’t feeling great at halftime even though the Tigers were ahead 31-7. “We talked about it at halftime, saying that the score doesn’t indicate the mistakes,” said Surace. “It wasn’t showing up. I wasn’t happy as a coach. We were making mistakes that were uncharacteristic.” But Princeton’s characteristic intensity overcame those mistakes. “It was the effort,” recalled Surace. “I said that to them the reason it was 31-7 was that our effort was just outstanding on both sides of the ball.

That effort led to a historic performance as Princeton, now ranked No. 21 in the FCS Coaches Poll, set a single-game record for total offensive yards (733) and scored its most points since a 66-0 win over Williams College in the 1950 season opener. “We have got two guys that we feel great about,” said Surace, referring to running backs Volker and Collin Eaddy (47 yards on 7 carries). “We are really fortunate with our ability to run and John (quarterback John Lovett) obviously ran it real well (111 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown) as well.” When the Tiger offense wasn’t marching down the field, the defense was stifling Lehigh star running back Dom Bragalone. “I know that Bragalone had a lot of carries (22) so to hold him to 52 yards is impressive,” said Surace. “He is an All-American and is a terrific running back. Bragalone had one run (14 yards) early in the game where we were blitzing and he got us. It is going to happen with him but there was no long run.” Surace credited DeMarco and defensive line with providing the surge that stymied the Mountain Hawks. “Joey is so strong and for a guy that is that tall, he can bend; he is really coming into his own,” said Surace. “Jake Strain, Jay Rolader, Sam Wright, and Simeon

GOOD RUN: Princeton University running back Charlie Volker heads upfield last Saturday as Princeton hosted Lehigh. Senior star Volker rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns to help the Tigers rout the Mountain Hawks 66-7. Princeton, now 4-0 overall and 1-0 Ivy League, hosts Brown (1-3, 0-1 Ivy) on October 13. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Lane were good too. We are really in a good rhythm there with those guys. They are really playing well. We are going to see some great offensive lines coming up and that will be the biggest test.” The win over Lehigh marked the end of Princeton’s non-conference schedule and it will now head into the Ivy League stretch drive, starting by hosting Brown (1-3, 0-1 Ivy). “If something happens in a non-conference game, it does not affect the outcome on who wins the championship,” said Surace. “There have been teams like Penn who played really tough schedules and started the year 1-3 and went on

that six-game run and won the games that count. This six-game run is going to be critical.” Volker, for his part, is focused solely on that first game. “What we like to do is to look at each new game as a clean slate,” said Volker. “A lot of people will be saying things about the scores in the few past weeks and that we are unstoppable. But if you look back at the film, there are plays that look sloppy; there is definitely a lot of room for growth. We have just got to keep working and next week we have a whole new game to look forward to.” —Bill Alden

Fluid Physio Manual Physical Therapy Practice Provides One-On-One Treatment for Patients

“I

wanted to spend all my time with one patient at each therapy session.” Explaining why she decided to open her own physical therapy practice, Dr. Gianna Bigliani, P T, DP T, OCS, CSCS, owner and founder of Fluid Physio, points out the difference in her practice.

IT’S NEW To Us

“The first thing you need to know about Fluid Physio is that we can help you much more quickly than what you expect. We are different than any other physical therapy practice because of our approach: a full hour of oneon-one specialized manual therapy treatment that will return you to pain-free optimal performance and function much faster than others.” A native of Colombia, Dr. Bigliani came to the U.S. at the age of 12, and later attended Temple University, where she graduated with a B.S. degree in exercise physiology. Strength and Conditioning Always interested in fitness and conditioning, she had played basketball as a young girl in Colombia, and spent four years on the Temple crew team during her college years. She has also participated in triathlons. After graduation in 2003, she b ec a m e a cer t if ie d strength and conditioning specialist, working w ith athletes of all ages (including children) and abilities (including at a professional level). She continued to row regularly, and after sustaining injuries, she became interested in a career in physical therapy. Returning to Temple, she completed the three-year

physical therapy program, received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, and also participated in an orthopedic residency, becoming a certified orthopedic specialist. “I’ve b e e n a phys ic a l therapist for 11 years in the Princeton area and beyond, including Princeton, Hamilton, and Burlington,” notes Dr. Bigliani. “I had three and four patients at the same time, and I thought there must be a better way. I wanted to be able to focus on just one person for the entire session.” Deciding to open her own practice, Dr. Bigliani, who also is an adjunct faculty member at Drexel University, teaching strength and conditioning, first worked out of her house. She then worked in a Pennington office before locating to Manors Corner Shopping Center at 160 Lawrenceville-Pennington Road in Lawrence Township. With her focus on manual therapy and one-on-one patient treatment, she is able to give each patient her undivided attention. Manual Therapy “F i r s t,” s h e e x p l a i n s, “there is an hour-and-a-half evaluation. I’ll take time to listen to the patient, observe his or her movement, and then figure out the cause of the problem.” The emphasis is not on machines, she adds. There are exercise balls, bands, and a giant mirror, among other therapy tools, but the primary treatment is manual therapy, including manipulating joints, soft tissue (muscles and ligaments), and nerves. “Manual therapy is followed by movement re-education,” points out Dr. Bigliani. “The body needs to learn how to move without the restrictions it previously had so that the effect of the therapy is lasting.” “It is very individualized treatment. We focus on each patient’s specific goal and help them achieve it. We help

both with a new or chronic problem and treat injuries from head to toe.” P roble m s w it h b ack s, knees, shoulders, and hips are common conditions she treats, as well as many others, such as arthritis, sciatica, sports injuries, sprains, and strains. “Whether it’s pain from an acute or chronic problem, difficulty moving around, numbing or tingling, weakness or fatigue, or doing the things you like to do, we can help you,” says Dr. Bigliani. All Ages “Every patient is an athlete at Fluid Physio,” she says. “Our goal is to maximize your performance in the activities you love, whether they are on the water, on the road, on the field, or on the floor.” Patients are all ages — from kids to parents and grandparents (the oldest is currently 94!), and with a variety of conditions. In many cases, they suffer from injuries and pain that have not responded to other traditional physical therapy treatment, she reports. A number of her patients are high-level athletes dealing with sports-related injuries. Other problems may stem from accidents in the home or outdoors. “I often treat hips and backs in the winter when people slip and fall on snow or ice. Also, they can hurt their backs raking leaves or shoveling snow. Another condition I often treat is foot pain.” Patients are often referred by physicians, as well as word- of-mout h, and t he practice is rapidly growing, she is happy to report. Reviews have been consistently positive, including such comments as, “I started seeing Dr. Gianna last winter for help with some recurring running and cycling injuries,” says an area patient. “I really appreciate the hands-on approach and the personal interaction. I’ve tried more tra-

ditional PT practices before, and this is much better.” Another patient is equally enthusiastic. “Dr. Gianna at Fluid Physio is absolutely AMAZING! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she is super friendly, a great listener, and very thorough during the visit. You can tell that she really cares about her patients, and she truly wants them to feel great.” Needs and Goals The one-on-one manual therapy helps patients improve more quickly, and usually six to eight treatment programs are sufficient, says Dr. Bigliani. In some cases, it may take less time. She also gives them “homework,” noting “Each patient gets specific exercises and movements to do at home according to their needs and goals.” In addition to manual therapy, Fluid Physio uses advanced deep laser therapy treatment to help relieve pain and speed recovery. Patients have achieved very good results from this treatment. Physical therapist Dr. Carly Ost is the Fluid Physio laser specialist. “Laser therapy is endorsed by professional clinical organizations,” observes Dr. Bigliani. “These include the World Health Organization (WHO), American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), and the International Association for the Study of Pain ( IASP). More than 3,000 research studies have been conducted in the field. “I enjoy everything about my work,” she continues. “Also, we try to make it fun and create a very positive environment. The human body is a miracle. If it’s nurtured and given the right environment, it can do wonderful things.” Physically Active “B odies are meant to move,” she said. “We’re not created to be sedentary. It’s good to be physically active. I chose the name Fluid Physio because ‘fluid’ is how movement should be. We should be able to move our bodies smoothly and effortlessly. Physio is how the rest of the world refers to physi-

HANDS-ON: “My practice is different because I work one-onone with the patient for an hour. I am focused on the patient’s goal, and we work together to achieve it.” Gianna Bigliani, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, founder and owner of Fluid Physio, is shown in the patient area where she provides individual treatments for each person. cal therapy. I also like water and how the water moves, so I thought fluid physio was quite appropriate. “I also work with physicians, personal trainers, and sports coaches, and we all communicate to help the patients. In addition, I provide an environment for other physical therapists so they can see how manual therapy can be so helpful. “In addition, I offer a free 30-minute evaluation to prospective patients to make sure this is the right place for them.” Fluid Physio also provides a regular newsletter with informative advice and commentar y, which includes a special “Patient of the Month,” and success stories of other patients. Free monthly workshops are also available to people dealing with pain from a variety of conditions.

Medical insurance coverage is not available at Fluid Physio, but Dr. Bigliani does accept out of network coverage. As she notes, “We help people figure out their benefits, and assist them in developing a budget plan helpful to their needs.” She is delighted with the warm welcome Fluid Physio has received, and looks forward to continuing to make a positive difference in people’s lives. “It is a great joy to watch people get better. I want to help as many patients as I can to live life to the fullest.” Fluid Physio is open Monday, Wednesday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Tuesday, Thursday 6:30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.; and Friday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., all by appointment.

Finding Finishing Touch at the Right Time, PU Men’s Soccer Tops Brown, Now 1-0-1 Ivy Even though his Princeton University men’s soccer team controlled possession in the first half against visiting Brown last Saturday, Jim Barlow was aggravated. Despite Princeton’s dazzling play, it had nothing to show for it as the rivals were locked in a 0-0 stalemate at halftime. “The first half against Brown might have been the best half we have played in a really long time, definitely all year, but to go through that half and have as much possession and as much play in the final third in their end without getting a goal is really frustrating,” said Princeton head coach Barlow. “That is exactly what we talked about at halftime. It

was, do we want to be defined as a team that plays well, passes well but never finishes off chances and keeps the other team in the game, or do we want to finish this game off?” Choosing the latter option, the Tigers got a goal from sophomore midfielder/ forward Kevin O’Toole 4:44 into the second half and added another tally less than five minutes later as O’Toole set up a score by classmate Gaby Paniagua as Princeton pulled away to a 2-0 victory, improving to 5-4-1 overall and 1-0-1 Ivy League. “Kevin has been creating chances and scoring himself and having him back from injury has been a big boost to our attack for sure,” said Barlow.

Last Saturday, sophomore midfielder Paniagua scored a second half goal to help Princeton defeat visiting Brown 2-0. The Tigers, who improved to 5-4-1 overall and 1-0-1 Ivy League with the win, were slated to play at St. John’s on October 9 before resuming Ivy play with a game at Columbia on October 13.

“I am prett y sure that Gaby leads the league in shots. Hopefully that goal Saturday gets him going because he does find himself in a lot of good spots. He gets shots off; he is really comfortable on the ball.” The Princeton defense held t he for t dow n t he stretch, highlighted by goalie Jacob Schachner stopping a penally kick in the 76th minute. “The defense was really solid until we got up 2-0 and then I thought our team defending became a little bit lax and we got a little bit stretched out,” said Barlow. “ T h e y s t ar te d g e t t i n g more dangerous and it led to a couple of chances. Fortunately, Jacob made a save on the penalty. If they score the penalt y, who knows what that game looks like at the end?” Ending up with a win over the Bears was satisfying for Barlow. “We haven’t beaten them since 2014, so to beat Brown was awesome,” said Barlow. “We were hoping to get two wins out of Dartmouth (a 2-2 tie on September 29) and Brown but a win and a tie certainly keeps us in contention. Now we have some huge games ahead of us.” The Tigers face a huge challenge this Saturday as they head to New York City to play Columbia ( 5 -3 -1 overall, 2-0 Ivy). “It is a very talented team; they are playing with a lot of confidence right now because they have beaten Brown at Brown and Penn at Penn to start the league,” said Barlow, noting that the Lions advanced to the second round of the NCA A tournament in 2017. “We know it is going to be a really tough game and a very good team, but we are excited for it.” In order to come through with a win, Princeton will need to keep displaying an exciting brand of soccer. “We have to play with the intensity going forward that we did against Brown,” said Barlow. “It is creating chances while at the same time understanding that when the ball turns over Columbia is a very dangerous team. We need to make sure that we are good in transition and our defensive shape is solid.” —Bill Alden

Dustin Litvak sensed that it could be a tough trip for the Princeton University men’s water polo team when it headed to the Boston area last weekend. “We played seven conference games in nine days. It is not ideal; it doesn’t give us a lot of time to prepare,” said Princeton head coach Dustin Litvak, who is in his first season at the helm of the program. “I thought that loss to Harvard the previous Sunday (1312 in OT on September 30) was emotionally draining, and then to have one day to prepare and go to probably the toughest place in the east coast to play in St. Francis-Brooklyn on Wednesday (a 12-10 loss), you are traveling with a threeto-four hour round trip. Then it is having two days to recover and prepare for three conference games and then travel. I think it took us seven hours to get to Boston on Friday.” Once in Boston, the 12thranked Tigers edged MIT 8-7 before falling 9-8 to No. 7 Harvard in action on Saturday. A day later, they headed to Rhode Island where they lost 11-10 to Brown. “Hopefully this helps us at the end of the season and makes us a little more resilient and battle-tested,” said Litvak, reflecting on the weekend which left the the Tigers at 10-6 overall. “Of course it would have been nice to come away with a couple of more wins. We played in some really tough environments and there were a lot of learning situations. The biggest takeaway is how important every possession is and how important every second is. In a lot of these games when look at the film, it is just one or two minor things where we let our guard down or we do something that we shouldn’t and it comes back to haunt us when the game is over.” Litvak acknowledges that there is a learning curve for the players as he instills his approach to the game. “The guys are trying to buy into a new system and, for the most part, it is going really well,” said Litvak. “It takes time; we have to build trust with the system that I am trying to implement. Everybody is equally as important, everyone has to buy in completely and everybody has to do their job. It is never going to be system dependent on one or two people. If one person gets in foul trouble or injured, we have plenty of guys who can step up but the other side of that is if one or two people make a mistake it effects the entire group. We have to make sure that everybody is on board.” Princeton’s core of veterans has been receptive to Litvak. “We have great senior leadership; we made all six senior captains because those guys are absolutely crucial members of the team,” said Litvak, who is getting big offensive years Matt Payne (30 goals and 13 assists through 13 games) and Ryan Wilson (18 goals, 26 assists). A number of younger players, including sophomores Alec Mendelsohn (19 goals, 10 assists) and Casey Conrad (13 goals, 7 assists) along with freshman Keller Maloney (15 goals, 17 assists), are also making valuable contributions. “All across the board it has really been spread out, we are continuing to work for the bal-

ance,” said Litvak. “It is hard to do when you are playing a lot of games because that confidence and that trust is built through the training, and this past week didn’t give us that opportunity. We are looking forward to being back in training over the next couple of weeks.” With Princeton heading back up to Boston this weekend to compete in the Crimson Invitational from October 13-14, Litvak is looking to see that training pay off. “This weekend was tough; we are battling through some adversity and if we have the right approach and attitude, these things will be really positive experiences for us,” said Litvak. “We are halfway through the season, we are nowhere near where we want to be as a group. It is just another step in the journey and I think we will be a pretty dangerous team moving forward.” —Bill Alden

Over the last several years, the individual brilliance of Alex Roth and and then Will Hare helped spark the Princeton High boys’ cross country team to county and state crowns. This fall, a triumvirate of senior standouts, Acasio Pinheiro, Jackson McCarthy, and Tucker Zullo, have combined to make PHS formidable again. Last Saturday, the trio finished in the top seven in the Boys’ Varsity C race at the Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel Park to help the Little Tigers place third in the team standings. “I am really excited for what we put together yesterday and the combo of Acasio, Jackson and Tucker,”

said PHS head coach Jim Smirk, reflecting on the race which saw Pinheiro take third with a time of 16:20 over the 5,000-meter course with McCarthy coming in third at 16:40 just ahead of Zullo in seventh in 16:41. “We have have been doing a lot of training to just run consistently at this point, and to drop those kind of times building off the base is a launching off point for what we want getting ready for the postseason.” In Smirk’s view, each of his three seniors is ready to star. “I think they are doing some things this year, showing their maturity a little bit more with a little more confidence in the work that they have done over the last

couple of years,” said Smirk. “All three of them are really primed for a breakout season.” While the trio ran together on Saturday, they sometimes go their separate ways in training. “They all have their own personalit ies ; t here are times that their training is lined up and they are doing stuff together but they are also very independent and focused as well,” said Smirk. “T here are t imes t hat they are doing that work by themselves. They are able to balance what seems to be separate ideas together and as a result we are building a strong core up front.” PHS got a strong performance from junior Tyler Fu as he took 24th in 17:19. “Tyler Fu is really coming into his own at this point and we are really excited to have him as our four man right now,” said Smirk, “Every time we train, every time we race, he is starting to understand the difference between just running and racing at a high level. Saturday was real exciting for him; he got into a really good race around the twomile mark with some really string competitors and he stuck his nose in there and really … worked hard.” Sophomore Jacob Bornstein is coming into his own as well, finishing 60th at the Shore Coaches meet with a time of 18:05. “Jacob is kind of our security blanket; when he steps on the line, everyone looks around left and right and doesn’t really see him,” said Smirk, noting that two other sophomores, Collin McCafferty and Daniel DiLella, are making progress. “He didn’t come out for spring track; he played tennis instead. He is just doing good, solid work day in, day out and you know he is going to be there when we need him. That is what he showed again Saturday.” PHS is aiming for a good s h ow i n g at t h e M e r c e r County Championships on October 19 at Washington Crossing State Park as the program goes for its third straight county crown. “Mercer County is stacked, these guys are awesome to watch and they have different ways of getting there,” said Sm irk, citing L iam Murphy of Allentown, Sean Dolan of Hopewell Valley, S a m e e r D a s of W W/ PSouth, and Vedang Lad of WW/P-North. “You have kids who are grinders and made themselves good and you have kids who have supreme talent who are learning about the sport. I would hate to make a prediction.” With the way his runners have been grinding, Smirk feels the Little Tigers will be in the mix. “I don’t want to discount our guys, the stuff we are doing is fantastic,” maintained Smirk. “You start looking at a kid like Tucker and before it was ‘who knew? ’ who Tucker was. Now he is starting to make his imprint. Late in races, he grinds and is aggressive when he needs to be. That is the kind of stuff we want to see out of our guy. If we can find ourselves, we will be in that conversation as well.” —Bill Alden

Paced by Senior Moran, Sophomore Standouts, PHS Girls’ Cross Country Showing Promise Having becoming a member of the Princeton High girls’ cross country team last fall after transferring from the American School of London, Siena Moran embraced the culture of her new program. Improving by leaps and bounds, Moran became a star, taking sixth at the Mercer County Championship meet and placing 10th at the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional. PHS head coach Jim Smirk sensed that Moran was just scratching the surface, and that some offseason work would make her a force this fall. “It is the first real time she has ever been challenged to do summer training,” said Smirk. “What we are seeing is her first full cycle of running and she is taking advantage of that. It is great to see that she is able to do that.” Last Saturday, that training paid dividends as Moran finished seventh individually in the Girls’ Varsity B race at the Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel Park to help PHS place fifth of 19 schools in the team standings in the race. “Siena ran lights out; she was in a pretty solid spot at the two-mile mark and wasn’t necessarily in the race yet,” said Smirk of Moran, who clocked a time of 19:41 over the 5,000-meter course. “We gave her a real challenge to see if she could be the best racer in her respective race in the last mile downhill there, and she ran brilliantly. She really ate up a lot of people who were ahead of her; she had a really nice race.” In Smirk’s view, Moran is primed for some brilliant racing ahead. “Siena is a different runner today than she was a year ago, no question, although I don’t know that she is complete yet,” added Smirk. “She is learning how to manage the middle mile a little more effectively and being engaged in the right groups. There is still work to be done there ... and she is aware of

Gillian Hauschild is displaying her versatility this fall in her junior season for the Princeton High girls’ volleyball team. After dominating on the front row in her first two seasons, Hauschild has added a playmaking role to her portfolio. “We are running a 6-2 this year, which is a lot different than last year,” said Hauschild. “I am setting from the back row which is a new position for me. I have enjoyed learning to play it; I have set before but it is new for me on the high school team.” Last Thursday, Hauschild produced an all-around performance, contributing three kills, four assists, two blocks, and one dig as PHS defeated Hopewell Valley 2-0 (25-10, 25-12). Coming off a disappointing 2-0 loss to Lawrenceville on October 1, the Little Tigers were primed to defeat the Bulldogs. “We really worked hard the last two practices; we focused on the fundamentals to come back and we worked on our mentality to stay tough throughout the whole game,” said Hauschild. “We need to keep pushing if we want to progress as a team.” In Hauschild’s view, an allfor-one, one-for-all mentality has been a key to PHS’s success this fall. “Our team chemistry this year is outstanding; we really work on team bonding and making sure that everyone feels a part of the team,”

said Hauschild. “It has really been great.” As a battle-tested veteran, Hauschild has done her part to help develop that chemistry. “This season, I am stepping into more of a leadership role as a junior,” said Hauschild. “Viva [Bell] and Natalie [Drobnjak] are doing a great job being captain. On the court, I really think the three of us have stepped up into leadership roles and we know when to push. We have a lot of new JV players and we are teaching them the winning mentality.” PHS head coach Patty Manhart liked the way her squad pushed to the win over Hopewell, riding some strong serving from juniors Kim Cheng and Emily Dobler to take control of the contest. “Those little momentum moments open it up, sometimes we are a team that just needs the confidence to go out and play well,” said Manhart. “It takes one service run like from Kimmy today to open it up and play loose and play better. It was good to see. Then it was Emily Dobler’s service run in the second game, she has been really good for us.” Hauschild has been really good for the Little Tigers all over the court. “Gillian is always cons i s te nt,” s a i d Ma n h ar t. “She is the back row, she can dig, she can ser ve. She does it all. She is also a junior, which is nice.”

PHS got some nice contributions from other juniors in the win over the Bulldogs. “Julia Brown just came back from an ankle injury and she did well; Nina Bergman does well in the middle,” said Manhart. “Cosette Hansen came in a sub and played well. What I really like seeing is all those juniors step up in different positions.” Wit h p os t s e as on play around the corner, Manhart is looking for her squad to step up its efficiency. “We need to be working hitting productivity; we didn’t need to do as much of that tonight,” said Manhart, whose team moved to 13-4 with a 2-0 loss to Montgomery last Friday and is hosting Fairfield Prep (Conn.) on October 13 before playing at Florence on October 16. “We changed our serve receive. We went from a four person receive to a three person, so I am hoping that is going to help us.” Hauschild and her teammates are hoping to build on the program’s winning ways as PHS is coming off a 31-2 campaign in 2017. “We knew that we were missing some really key players due to graduation,” said Hauschild, noting that the Little Tigers lost Anna Cao, Rachel Cheng, and Sara Vigiano from the Class of 2018. “We want this to be a winning season and make even make more history than we did last year. We are going to have to work hard. I really think we can do it; the potential in this team is great.” —Bill Alden

PDS Boys’ Soccer Girding for Postseason Run, Sparked by High-Scoring Senior Star Leggett Wesley Leggett scored 13 goals in the first 10 games this fall for the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team. Last Wednesday, senior forward Leggett tried mightily to add to that total as PDS hosted Old Bridge, making a number of runs and generating some shots in the box but it was to no avail as the teams played to a scoreless tie through regulation and two overtimes. “It was unlucky that some of them didn’t go in; it wasn’t my day to strike it,” lamented Leggett. “I take pride in striking it with both feet.” In reflecting on the tie with Old Bridge, Leggett acknowledged that the Knights had a tough defense to break down. “They were a very physical team,” said Leggett. “They had a very good defensive shape, they were very organized.” In the overtime, the Panthers appeared to be in good shape as they dominated possession early on. “There was a lot more aggression coming into the overtime; everyone was working hard, everyone was pushing forward,” said Leggett. “We had the momentum; we were all going strong for each other. Everyone was moving forward, everyone was winning their tackles, winning our first ball. I thought we were going to put one in.” Having been a starter for the Panthers since his freshman year, Leggett is determined to put together a strong final campaign.

“I was looking to have a big senior year; one thing I want to do with any team is to help it win,” added Leggett. “Whether that is scoring or assisting the ball or just being an overall threat for the whole team.” Leggett has worked hard to be a threat all over the field. “As an overall player, I am a lot better than last year,” said Leggett. “I am a lot faster, stronger, my finishing got better, my athleticism and my overall game are better.” Next fall, Leggett will be bringing his game north as he has committed to attend the University of Connecticut and play for its men’s soccer program. “Connecticut has been one of the schools that I always wanted to go to; they have a good athletic program,” said Leggett. “I have respect for all of the coaches and I think they have

a good fundamental basis to help me grow as a player and a person. I picked that school because I thought that would be the best for for me.” With PDS starting postseason play this week by hosting Morristown-Beard in the opening round of the state Prep B tourney on October 11, Leggett believes that Panthers will be a tough out. “I like the direction we have. We are a very slept-on team; based on our record, people would think that are are not that good,” said Leggett, who scored a goal as PDS fell 3-1 to Pingry last Saturday to move to 5-5-1. “If we come out strong and consistently, we are a very good team. We need to be more physical coming out from the jump. Even if we are not the most talented team, I would rather outwork every team. We like to put the ball down and play some passes across, look to open up the gaps, and play through the gaps.” —Bill Alden

With Barletta Displaying His Versatility, Hun Football Rolls to 26-6 Win over Blair Jackson Barletta prides himself on being a multifaceted threat for the Hun School football team. “It is good to be all around the field and just impact the team however I can,” said senior star Barletta, who plays receiver, quarterback, and defensive back for the Raiders. Last Saturday against visiting Blair Academy, Barletta made an impact in the first half with his arm and legs, throwing a touchdown pass to Nicholas DeGennaro and then catching a scoring strike from Logan Clouse as the Raiders built a 12-0 halftime lead. Barletta, who transferred to Hun from New Providence High, enjoys getting a shot at throwing the ball as he is now in a rotation with junior quarterback Clouse. “Here I have mainly been a receiver; in my old school, I played quarterback before I came here,” said the 6’3, 200 -pound Barletta. “At heart, I am a quarterback but wherever the team needs

me I will go.” In the third quarter, Barletta showed those quarterback skills, lofting a ball down the sidelines to DeGennaro who turned it into an 80-yard touchdown play to stretch the Hun lead to 18-0. “It was basically a fade and I saw that their safety was little too far inside,” recalled a smiling Barletta. “It was just spray and pray, that is what I call it, on that side.” The Raiders proceeded to pull away to a 26-6 win in a game that was called with 9:45 left in the fourth quarter when an injury-depleted Blair squad threw in the towel. “Blair is a great team with a great coach,” said Barletta, reflecting on the triumph which improved Hun to 3-1. “They have great athletes but they got a little banged up and we just separated a bit. It was all good things for the Hun team today.” Junior receiver DeGennaro did some ver y good

Specialists

things as he ended up with three touchdown catches on the day. “He is an agile player and he runs great routes,” said Barletta. “When the ball goes to him, he is always going to catch it.” With Barletta having committed to go to Fordham and play for its football program, he is looking to make the most of his final year at Hun. “My brother played at Fordham, so I am continuing a tradition,” said Barletta. “It is my fifth year of high school. I am playing lacrosse in the spring for Hun. It is anything to help anyone out, that is what you have to do.” As one of the team captains for the Raiders along with Josh Henderson, Barletta is hoping to help lead the Raiders to a big fall. “I feel like we are just coming more together as a team,” said Barletta of Hun, which plays at the Hill School (Pa.) on October 13. “We are buying into what our coaches have to tell us and teach us.” —Bill Alden

Fueled by Smarr’s Unselfish Play, Leadership, Hun Boys’ Soccer Heading in Right Direction Wit h t h e H u n S ch o ol boys’ soccer team locked in a scoreless tie with Life Center Academy last week, Elijah Smarr had the ball on his foot near the goal. But rat her t han f ir ing away, Hun senior midfield Smarr saw teammate Amar Anand breaking free and slotted the ball to him and he found the back of the net. “Jack Tarzy played me a nice ball in; I could have taken him on but I saw that Amar had a better angle so I just played it to him and he was able to put it away,” said Smarr of the score that came with 27:13 left in the half. That tally set the tone as the Raiders scored three goals in the next five minutes of the contest on the way to a 4-2 triumph. “It opened it up for us; we were to attack them in wide positions as well as take them on one on one,” said Smarr. “That was a good performance.” With the victory marking the third straight win for Hun after a 1-3 start, Smarr believes the squad is starting to find a rhythm. “We had a little change in style of play; we are looking to possess the ball more with one and two touches,” said Smarr. “It is very evident in our film and our goal scoring opportunities, which is really nice.” Settling into an attacking midfielder role, Smarr is looking to trigger the Hun offense. “I am playing more of that eight role, going box to box,” said Smarr, who chipped in another assist as Hun defeated Blair 3-0 last Saturday in its Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) opener to improve to 5-4. “I am able to get forward more and dictate the speed of play and things like that.” As a two-year team captain, Smarr is looking to help the team move forward. “I am definitely seeing the game more, I am able to help the younger guys,” said Smarr. “I am trying to make sure that I get better every day as well as the guys around me, pushing them to do well in training and keep the level of training up.” Hun head coach Pat Quirk credits Smarr with having an impact as a player and a leader. “As a center mid, we lean on Elijah at the center of our attack,” said Quirk. “He has a little fire to him; he definitely talks a little bit. He is one of our captains and a leader; he pushes the guys to play better.” Junior midfielder Gibson Campbell showed his attacking ability in the win over Life Center, notching Hun’s second goal in the contest. “Gibson is playing more of an attacking role; he can get dangerous down the line and he puts some crosses in,” said Quirk, who also got goals from Luke McManimon and Tarzy in the victory. “As of yesterday, he led the tram in assists; I think he has two or three this year. He gets dangerous down the line and puts good balls in.” Quirk has also been getting good work from senior

James Muldowney, sophomore Anand, and junior BrianSpencer. “James has been playing really well for us; he was playing outside back and we pushed him to the wing and he complements Gibson,” said Quirk. “They both get very dangerous down the line. Amar Anand is leading us in goals. Brian Spencer has been the anchor as a center back; he is controlling that.” Hun has playing together well as the fall has unfolded. “We have got a core group of kids that just play well together,” said Quirk. “They are figuring it out and they have this competition side to them. It starts in training and moves on the to the field; there is a big cohesiveness together.” That cohesive play has the

Raiders looking forward to a nice stretch run. “In the last three games, we are showing that we can score and that we can be creative offensively,” said Quirk, whose team plays at the Hill School (Pa.) on October 13 before hosting Northern Burlington on October 16. “We can tighten up the defense a little bit; that is coming.” Smarr, for his part, sees the team’s hard work in training as the key to its recent offensive outburst. “The training level was very high and guys are getting into it and it shows that our level of intensity is there,” said Smarr. “Scoring goals is definitely something important to the game. But to us it doesn’t matter who scores as long as the ball is in the net and we are getting the result that we want.” —Bill Alden

Jill Ann Gowen Weatherill, longtime resident of Princeton NJ, died September 30, 2018, at her son’s home in Connecticut after a long battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). She was 85 years old. Born in East Dereham, Norfolk, UK, Jill was the first in her family to attend university, studying food science at Queen Elizabeth College in London. After university she worked for British food companies Lyons and Walls, before moving to New York City in the late 1950s where she continued work as a food scientist. Jill met her husband, Derek Weatherill, in 1960 while on a sailing holiday in England. As Derek also happened to live in New York they arranged to meet upon their return to the States, and married in June 1961. Jill was always extremely

active and never without a ‘project.’ She was a passionate gardener, knew all the Latin names of plants, and created a spectacular garden over a 40-year period at the family home in Princeton. It was much admired by all, visited by gardening clubs and painted by artists. Friends rarely left without gifts of plants, cuttings, or flowers. Jill’s love for children led her to spend many years teaching nurser y school. Later she worked as a docent at the Princeton University Art Museum giving tours to children and also adults. In her free time, she enjoyed visiting art museums, playing the piano and recorder, and attending classical concerts. With Derek, she shared a love of the ancient world, and wrote a small book of Greek myths in verse. She kept herself informed about current events and always had a stack of newspapers by her bed. Her husband Derek was diagnosed with cancer shortly after he retired, ending dreams of traveling together in retirement. Derek struggled with the illness for eight years before passing away in 2004. After falling at home in October 2013, Jill moved to an apartment in Boston in early 2014 to be closer to family. She moved into a memory care assisted-living facility in Boston in 2015. She is sur vived by her brother Roger of Tahiti, her four children — Sally, Simon, Julian, James — and five grandchildren, Oliver, Emily, William, Ben, and Sophia. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, www.theaftd.org. She has been buried alongside Derek at Princeton Cemetery.

We have customers waiting for houses!

WHEN TO CONSIDER A PRICE ADJUSTMENT Your home has been on the market for 30 days and you have not received an offer. It is time to analyze what the market is telling you. There are three key factors to consider: Showings, Feedback and Offers Received. Have you had many showings? The first few weeks of a house being on the market should be a flurry of activity. Take a good look at the feedback you are receiving. What is the opinion of price in comparison to other homes the buyer is looking at? Are there suggestions for cosmetic updates or concerns about the layout of the home? Have you received any offers? Often times we think that an offer is to low and that very well may be the case. However, an offer shows interest and can give you a good indication as to whether the house is priced according to the market comparables.

STOCKTON MEANS FULL SERVICE REAL ESTATE. We list, We sell, We manage. If you have a house to sell or rent we are ready to service you! Call us for any of your real estate needs and check out our website at: http://www.stockton-realtor.com See our display ads for our available houses for sale.
