District Responds to Mold and Air Quality Issues in the Schools

Following up on reports of possible mold and testing air quality in every school building, Princeton Public Schools (PPS) is working to implement recommendations for remediation of a variety of mold and air quality problems. The district is teaming up with its maintenance crew and environmental services professionals AHERA Consultants, Inc. in the ongoing effort.

In an October 12 letter to parents, staff, and students, PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane described “recent steps we are taking to ensure the community we are taking this process seriously and that the quality of our spaces and the health and wellness of our students and staff remains our top priority.”

Yesterday, Cochrane reported, “to date, our operations and maintenance teams have completed the majority of the initial cleaning that could be handled internally in approximately 30 rooms across the district. A professional contractor is beginning additional clean up efforts this week in approximately six rooms as recommended by our consultant.”

The ongoing process of controlling and eradicating mold will continue in the coming weeks, as PPS, under the direction of AHERA, continues “to work on any known or suspected contributing factors that could increase the potential for mold growth.”

The district has spent approximately $30,000 on consultant and contractor fees so far, and will be conducting post testing once the remediation is complete.

“If additional concerns are brought to our attention, we will continue to follow the procedures now in place,” Cochrane added. “Our consultant has been made available to answer specific questions as they arise and make recommendations, and we are committed to keeping the school community apprised of our efforts.”

In responding to what Princeton Health Officer Jeff Grosser called “an ambiguous issue,” Cochrane’s October 12 letter suggested the complexity of the problem.

“Each school building requires a unique and targeted response based on the recommendations of our consultant,” he wrote. “In general, many issues identified can be resolved by our maintenance staff or a contractor.”

Wang, Wilentz Assess Blue Wave for PCDO

“Catch the Blue Wave,” “#Flip NJ Blue,” “Princeton Democrats United for Change,” “Bonnie Watson Coleman,” “Bob Menendez,” “Dwaine Williamson and Eve Niedergang” — political posters and lawn signs filled the meeting room at Suzanne Patterson Center last Sunday night at the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) monthly gathering.

With November 6 election day fast approaching, Princeton professors and expert political commentators Sam Wang and Sean Wilentz told a group of about 70 how high the stakes are, why Central New Jersey is a key battleground for the nation’s future, and what the PCDO can do about it.

Noting the possibility of flipping five congressional seats from Republican to Democratic in New Jersey this election, Wilentz, a social and political historian who has written widely on U.S. history, Bob Dylan, and slavery among other subjects, described New Jersey as “ground zero for this election — a very important place.” He added, “It really is up to us, and Central New Jersey, which is ground zero of ground zero for the national election. We are making history in this election.”

All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are at stake in this election, which may affect partisan control of the House. Republicans are currently in the majority with 235 seats to 193 for the

Democrats. Democrats would need to win 23 GOP-held seats to win control of the House.

Wang, a professor of molecular biology and neuroscience, a “data guy” and prominent expert in developing statistical methods to analyze elections, took a closer look at the particulars of flipping the House and “how you can put your efforts to the most efficient use.”

Describing the current political situation as “the most extended period of closely divided government since the Gilded Age,” Wang stated, “The Democrats are favored, but not certain, to take the House in this election, and the goal in the Senate is to have as many seats as possible

looking forward to 2020.” He pointed out that Democrats have only a slim chance to make gains in the Senate this year, but have significant opportunities in the 2020 election.

Projecting a map highlighting close congressional races throughout the country, Wang quickly zeroed in on six races that are all still up for grabs, all within 50 miles of Princeton. “If all these go Democratic, that would be one-fourth of the way towards retaking the House,” he said.

In particular, he emphasized New Jersey’s 3rd and 7th Districts and Pennsylvania’s 1st, which are all “on a knife’s edge,” with candidates divided by only one or Continued on Page 7

Homeowners To Get Checks From University Tax Case

Princeton University is mailing checks this week for property tax assistance to some 700 Princeton homeowners. The payments are part of a 2016 settlement that ended litigation challenging the University’s property tax exemptions.

As part of the agreement, the University contributed $2 million last year and agreed to contribute $1.6 million a year this year and for the following four years to a property tax relief fund. The fund will distribute annual aid payments to Princeton homeowners who received a homestead benefit under the New Jersey

Homestead Property Tax Credit Act in the most recent year for which homestead benefits were paid by the state. The fund is administered by the Community Foundation of New Jersey (CFNJ).

Beginning in 2011, area homeowners had argued that Princeton University is a profit-making institution and should not be exempt from property taxes. Two years ago, three days before the suit was set to go to trial, the University agreed to settle the case. Both parties asserted that they would have won the case in court.

An Expanded Film Festival Aims to Inspire Social Action

Since taking over the Princeton Independent Film Festival last year, Chief Operating Officer Ryan McDonald and Chief Creative Officer Claire Elaine have made it a priority to program screenings, talks, and other events that lead to positive change.

This year’s festival — the fourth since it was started by Sara McDermott in 2015 — is November 14-17 at locations in and around Princeton. The emphasis is on films that inspire viewers

Featuring gifts that are distinctly Princeton NEW PRODUCTS ADDED WEEKLY!

to get involved in issues like climate change and gender politics, and the final event of the festival is designed to help people do just that.

“O ur m is sion, beyond showcasing really wonderful quality films, is to take the energy and inspiration that comes out of those films, harness it, and make a difference,” said Elaine. “We’re asking filmmakers what they want people to take away from these films, whether it’s volunteering, or maybe donating to a nonprofit. So it can happen right here. We want to capitalize, in the best sense of the word.”

Judges of films competing for the festival’s top honors include actress Ana Asensio, director Cameron Beyl, actors Hubert Burton and Tom Hanson, director Jimmy Keyrouz, sound editor/designer Selim Azzazi, Princeton University student Alexander Kim, and director Christian Monnier.

The festival begins the evening of November 14 at the Hopewell Theater, with a showing the short films The Best Fireworks Ever, Nightmares by the Sea, Bonobo, and Third Kind. A cash bar offering drinks from each of the countries represented — the U.S., German, Poland, and Switzerland — will be available, and ticket-holders can dine at the nearby Brick Farm Tavern for a fixed price of $50.

The next night, Princeton’s Garden T heatre screens the award-winning Matria, sponsored by the Princeton University Women’s Center, and the feature documentary Genderbende. A Q&A follows with Myrsini Aristidou, the writer and director of the short film Aria. “She is coming all the way from Cyprus for this, which is so exciting,” said Elaine. “Her film was nominated at Sundance.”

Friday’s location is McCosh Hall 50 on the Princeton campus. Another Q&A is scheduled, this one with Kevin H. Wilson, writer and director of My Nephew Emmett that won last year’s student Academy Award and was nominated during the 90th Academy Awards main competition. The Carl A. Fields Center for Equality + Cultural Understanding is sponsoring this free event.

The final program on Saturday, also at McCosh 50 and free, is an all-day event presented by the Princeton Film Society. The remainder of films in the competition, including those on the environment, will be screened.

Representatives from the organization Grist Fixers will be on hand to help viewers address climate change in

everyday interactions.

The closing film, Three And A Half by Dar Gai, is a narrative feature shot in three continuous takes. The day ends with an after-party and award announcement, and patrons will get the chance to try out the latest in VR technology.

Elaine and McDonald, who are married and live in Doylestown, Pa., got involved with the festival after McDonald met with the founder last year. McDonald is a former actor and model who did a six-year apprenticeship with a master teacher from The Juilliard School, Elaine said. She is a graduate of Montclair State University with a degree in metalwork and jewelry, and she ran her own design company.

“He’s a crazy film fanatic,” Elaine said of her husband.

Final Weekend at Terhune For Apple Days Festival

October 27 and 28 will be the final weekend of the season for Terhune Orchards’ Apple Days Harvest Festival. Terhune is at 330 Cold Soil Road in Lawrence Township.

The family-friendly event allows visitors to pick their own apples and pumpkins, take tractor-drawn wagon rides, hear music, visit the “All About Corn” adventure barn, walk the farm trail, and eat farm-fresh snacks a nd hom em ade cou nt r y food. Among the special activities for kids are face painting, pumpkin painting, pony rides, a cornstalk maze, hay bale maze, farm animals, and more.

Children who wear a Halloween costume will receive a Terhune Orchard sticker.

Kids can help Terhune Orchards prepare for the winter by picking corn from the cornstalk maze, which will be cut down after the festival is over to make way for new plantings. As children walk through the maze they can pick corn and place it in a bin at the end of their journey.

On October 27 from noon to 4 p.m., the Magnolia St String Band will play. On the 28th, Back Door Band is scheduled.

There will be plenty of food including barbecued chicken, pork sandwiches, hot dogs, homemade soup, vegetarian chili, pasta, fruit salad and more. Apple and pumpkin dishes will be a priority. The Vineyard and Winery Tasting Room in the 150-year-old barn will be open.

Admission to the festival area is $8 (Children 3 and under free). Visit terhuneorchards.com for more information.

we’re going to do it, it can’t be a hobby. We’d be moving toward making this our livelihood.” And she said, ‘That’s great.’”

Once the couple signed on, Elaine created a new logo for the festival. “Last year, there were only three of us.

We had a great program, but we didn’t really have high numbers and the marketing budget was, like, $150,” she said. “This year, we have an actual budget, because we’re being sponsored by SAGindie, which helps filmmakers with education on how to get registered and other aspects. It’s fabulous to have support from them, because it’s indicative of them seeing we have something going on.”

Additional support is from local companies and organizations, which has allowed for increased activity and, hopefully, larger audiences.

“I’ve never really found anything that has driven me to work as hard as I’ve worked on this,” said Elaine. “So it’s really going to be a pleasure when we can actually do this full time and really dedicate ourselves to it.”

Question of the Week: “What are you doing to help the environment?”

(Asked Sunday at “Nature in the Alley” at Dohm Alley) (Photographs by Erica M. Cardenas)

“I donate the waste wood from my production company to Princeton University, and they consume it with a biodigester.

A biodigester turns waste wood into compost.”

—Brian Holcombe, Princeton

“I recycle. Also, my aquatic biology class went to the stream next to our school and picked up trash, which [otherwise] gets washed into the river.”

—Cian Mahoney, Flemington

Stella: “Not littering.”

Santino: “Picking up garbage.”

—Stella and Santino Cunha, Princeton

“The company I work for, Willard Brothers, turns trees into furniture. Instead of leaving a carbon footprint, we are sequestering that carbon footprint and making it into tables and other types of furniture. Most of our wood is found locally in New Jersey, and some from Pennsylvania.”

—Tobias Smith, Princeton

Sabrina: “I walk or bike to work.”

Abel: “I’m driving an electric car and trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. Also, I don’t use plastic bags.”

two percentage points in the polls.

“That means your efforts to get out the vote, to go door to door, to send postcards could make the difference,” he continued. “The Democrats could take all of these districts, or the Democrats could lose all of them. What’s certain is that your efforts are worth a lot in those districts.”

He added, “Bonnie Watson Coleman is pretty safe.

If you want to leverage your efforts, New Jersey 3 and 7 and Pennsylvania 1 are three races that are key. If everyone in this room got out and knocked on doors, that would be enough to flip one of these races.”

Andrew Kim (D) is running against Tom MacArthur (R) in the NJ 3rd District, which includes Burlington County and

parts of Ocean County; while Tom Malinowski (D) is running against Leonard Lance (R) in District 7, which includes Hunterdon County and parts of Essex, Morris, Somerset, Union, and Warren.

After their opening remarks the discussion between Wang and Wilentz ranged widely, and was followed by an assortment of questions from the audience.

Issues included gerrymandering, voter suppression, disenfranchising of voters, and voting rights. Both Wang and Wilentz expressed hope that election results could overturn partisan control in a number of states and help to counteract undemocratic election practices.

Taking the broad historical perspective, Wilentz claimed that the country is still reacting to Reconstruction, to the Civil Rights struggles of the

1960s and President Nixon’s Southern strategy in 1968.

Both Wang and Wilentz expressed some hope of a blue wave, but declined to make any predictions.

Citing women, as activists and as candidates winning offices, as “the big force this year” and “the big story,” Wang reminded his audience, “Democrats are one or two seats short of a majority and it’s within one or two percentage points. The only way to overturn that prediction is to canvass door-to-door in the 3rd and 7th Districts.”

Wilentz added, “It’s a very tough fight. I don’t want to encourage complacency. It would be irresponsible to say how it’s going to go. Things are so close in so many places, and two weeks — that’s forever.”

Woosamonsa Ridge Preserve Protected By D&R Greenway

D & R Greenway Land Trust has announced the preservation of the 300th property permanently protected since its founding in 1989. Woosamonsa Ridge P r e s e r ve i n Pe n n i n g to n comprises more than 146 acres of green forests.

Together with a second, cont ig uous site recent ly protected, there are now more than 175 acres newly preserved. These lands are a vital piece of the Delaware River watershed.

“The Woosamonsa Ridge p r o j e c t c o u l d n o t h av e been accomplished without forward-thinking landowners Jay and A my Regan, long t i m e are a re s id e nt s and philanthropists,” says D & R G r e e nw ay Tr u s te e Richard Goldman. “In anticipation of moving away to be near their grown children, they sought to work w it h D & R G reenway. In addition to the two properties preserved as natural areas, the Regans are protecting a third large parcel that will be conserved as agricultural land.”

By preserving the proper ties, A my Regan says, she and her husband are paying forward their family’s connection to the land.

“Our children grew up on this land and our grandch i ldren love to play i n the woods. By ensuring its permanent preservation, it makes it easier for us to move on, knowing that the land is protected and our children and grandchildren can come back and still enjoy it.”

The Woosamonsa Ridge

Preserve succeeded through a collaborative effort spearheaded by D &R Greenway and accomplished w it h t he help of nonprofit and public partners: Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, T he Nature Conser vancy, the NJ Green Acres Program, Hop ewel l Tow ns h ip a nd M e r c e r C o u n t y ’s O p e n Space Fund.

“The preservation of this property is an example of the cooperative par tnerships that Mercer County undertakes with local governments and land conservancy organizations such as t he D & R G reenway,” says Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes. “The county is pleased to have provided funding for Woosamonsa Ridge Preser ve, which will serve to protect the environment and prov id e outd o or re c re at ion today and for future generations.”

Hopewell Township partnered with D&R Greenway to buy the adjacent piece of la n d lo c ate d n e x t to open space they already own, expanding protection of t he s cen ic v iews c ap e n e x t to t h e H arb ou r ton historic cemetery. Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space (FoHVOS) will play a unique role by co-managing the land with D & R Greenway. By joining forces, the two land trusts will ensure t wo major goals, caring for the mountain’s

u n iq u e cons er vat ion re sources and providing public access trails where hikers can enjoy birding a n d t h e b e n ef it s of t h e outdoors. T he NJ Trails Association, a group of local volunteers led by D&R G r e e n w a y fo r m e r c h a i r A lan Hershey, w ill soon begin improvements on old trails and create new walking trails on the mountain.

T h e n e w Wo o s a m o n sa R idge preser ve spills d ow n t h e s ou t h s i d e of Penning ton Mou ntain.

Oaks — black, white, red, and chestnut — together with numerous other tree species, abound. Many of these trees are large, mature specimens, because t h e s te e p m o u n t a i n s i d e long resisted clearing for agriculture. The extensive unbroken forest is nesting habitat for colorful migrant songbirds.

“This region of Hopewell has some of the best remaining blocks of unpreserved, ecologically important and highly resilient lands in Mercer County,” s ays B a r b a r a B r u m m e r, state director for The Nat u r e C o n s e r v a n c y. “ We a r e s o p l e a s e d to h ave partnered with D &R Greenway on the protection of this new preser ve and their 300th property; these partnerships are so essential to protecting the most critical lands in New Jersey.”

Air Quality continued from page one

He continued, “In some cases we may need to replace specific items such as carpeting, filters, or air conditioners. Meanwhile, as we implement the recommendations, we are continuing to follow approved protocols for cleaning any areas of concern as they are reported.”

Grosser explained that mold exists nat urally in the outside env ironment and that every facility has some degree of mold. “A house plant can potentially be a source of mold,” he said. “The schools are being extra diligent. They are testing the air quality in all the schools and looking to fix leaks and remove moisture. The schools are using a systematic approach and dealing with the sources of moisture.”

He further noted that “the consultant is making recommendations for cleaning and any necessary repairs, and schools need to make sure that all surfaces are clean.” For children with allergy problems, he recommended that parents check with the school nurses or consult with their child’s doctor.

Cochrane, in his October 12 letter, also stated, “Please be assured t hat our building principals have received the air testing reports and are working closely with our operations a nd ma i ntena nce te a m s under the direction of our consultant. We are also in regular communication with the municipal health officer.” Copies of the reports can be found in each

At John Witherspoon Middle School : Elevated CO2 readings and stained ceiling tiles, which could be the result of roof leaks.

At Community Park Elementary School: Two rooms with elevated levels of a fungal spore, one room with an elevated humidity level where the air conditioner has since been replaced, another room with evidence of staining on the ceiling tile and possible moisture getting into the building.

At Johnson Park Elementary School: High concentration of fungal spores in one room, slightly elevated spore cou nts in t he ar t room, some visible surface mold, and the need to continue investigation for additional mold-contributing factors.

At Littlebrook Elementary School : High concentrations of fungal spores and visible spores in administrative offices and one additional room.

History Trail Installed At Updike Farmstead

The Historical Society of Princeton recently installed six pieces of interpretive signage at its Updike Farmstead headquar ters on Quaker Road. The signs, spread widely throughout the six-acre site, are dubbed t h e “Far m s te ad H is tor y Trail.”

“We’re thrilled to install this interpretive signage, which contextualizes Updike Farmstead in broader local, regional, and national context,” said Izzy Kasdin, executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton. “The signs will undoubtedly create a richer heritage experience for visitors who come to the Farmstead.”

The signage links buildings and physical markers in the landscape with historical photos, documents, and artifacts. Interpreting the lives of Lenni Lenape Native Americans, Quaker s e t t ler s, C ont i n e nt a l soldiers, family farmers, and other residents of the Stony Brook region, the signs encourage visitors to wander and explore the expansive grounds of the Updike Farmstead site, one of the last remaining historic farms in Princeton.

“We’re particularly proud of the way each sign connects a local history moment with enduring issues relevant to our visitors’ lives a n d com m u n it ie s,” s a id Stephanie Schwartz, HSP’s curator of collections and Research. “Each sign concludes with what we refer to as a ‘big question,’ which we hope will spark conversation about religious belief, development, economic change, war, and other important topics.”

Pennington graphic designer Kim Waters of Zoe Graphics designed the signage panels and Leigh Visual Imaging fabricated the signs. Funding for the design and fabrication of the signage was provided by a project grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State.

The signage was developed with the suppor t of the Princeton Municipal Historic Preservation Commission and the State Historic Preservation Office, and in consultation with representatives of the Nant icoke - L enni L enape Tribal Nation, the Princeton Friends Meeting, and the Princeton Battlefield Society.

Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts Attend Annual Camp-Out

The Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts (HVGS) held their annual camp out on the property of the Village Learning Center on the weekend of October 13 and 14.

Despite the morning rain a n d c o o l te m p e r a t u r e s throughout the day and night, more 150 girls ranging grades one-12 ( Daisy through Ambassador) came together to learn essential camping skills including fire building, knife use, and knot tying. The Scouts also enjoyed hiking, an obstacle course, decorating pumpk ins, mak ing f r iendship rocks and bird feeders, and a campfire complete with singing and s’mores. Older girls taught skills to the

younger girls, allowing everyone to earn their badges.

In order to accommodate the large tur nout, some alumni returned to pitch in.

Katy Nyby is a Silver Award Girl Scout who recently graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology and now works at Johnson & Johnson. She said, “It was wonderful growing up as a Girl Scout. I learned so much that continues to help me today. It’s an honor to give back.”

H o p e w e l l Va l l e y G i r l Scouts are grateful to their adult volunteers who guide the girls all year long and also the many local community members who helped make the campout such a huge success, especially Mary Innocenzi, owner of the Village Learning Center; Jim Sansone of Sansone’s Farm Market; Andy Fosina of the Hopewell Township Bureau of Fire Safety; and Chief Lance Maloney of the Hopewell Township Police Department.

HOMETOWN HALLOWEEN PARADE: The Arts Council of Princeton’s Annual Hometown Halloween Parade will take place on Friday, October 26, from 5:15-6 p.m. The community is invited to meet at 5:15 p.m. on Palmer Square Green for music by the Princeton University Marching Band before the parade makes its way through Downtown Princeton at 5:45 p.m. from Palmer Square to the Princeton Family YMCA, where the festivities will continue with live music, food and drinks, crafts, and more.

A PROPOSAL FOR THE PARK: Stewards of Princeton’s Marquand Park hope to attract more young people ages 3-13 with a special arboretum.

(Courtesy of Wikipedia) Since Marquand Park was created 65 years ago on a 17-acre expanse of land given to Princeton, children have been considered among its most important patrons. Generations have patronized the park’s well known sandbox, baseball field, and playground, taken part in tree tours and scavenger hunts, and made use of the cozy children’s book exchange designed w it h them in mind.

A proposal to make the park on Lover’s Lane even more child-friendly went before Princeton Council Monday night, October 22. The Marquand Park Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the town in the upkeep of the park, hopes to put a Children’s Arboretum, geared to ages 3 to 13, on a small plot next to the parking lot.

The Foundation would build,

maintain, and be responsible for the project.

Council members were encouraging about the proposal, which needs the proper permits before work can begin. The plan was presented by Wellmoet Van Damnen, one of four members of the Foundation’s board of trustees. “We want to make younger kids more responsible and more interested in the trees,” she said. “We want to make kids more aware of how trees are planted and how they grow, so when they grow up, they will see trees more as an asset than a nuisance to their properties.”

The project would start small, and community members would be involved from the beginning. Input is invited, in fact, at a public meeting being held Thursday, November 1 at 6 p.m.

at the Historical Society of Princeton’s Updike Farmstead on Quaker Road.

Part of the plan is to hold two events a year: one on Arbor Day, when children can plant trees in pots and then return to water them during the summer months; the other in the fall when they can decide whether to plant them in the park or at their homes.

“The idea is to have another way to engage children and add an educational component to our programming,” board member Rebecca Flemer said on Tuesday. “Everything we’ve done in the past few years along those lines has been very successful. So we thought it would be good to have an ongoing project, and a place where children can return and get to know the park.”

Marquand Park is con-

sidered a well-preser ved example of a 19th century landscaped garden. Philadelphia architect John Notman was commissioned by Richard Stockton Field, who owned the Woodlawn estate that stood on the site, to design a landscaped garden and later a mansion for the property. The garden was developed first, in 1846.

Pr inceton Universit y ar t history professor Alan Marquand bought the estate in 1887, and it remained in his family until 1953, when the 17-acre parcel was given to the town “for use as a public park, playground, and recreational area for the benefit of the people of Princeton and its environments.”

According to the Foundation’s website, a wooded area along Mercer Street has remained relatively untouched since the garden was created, and is still the home of some of the park’s oldest trees — many 200 years old or older.

According to Flemer, the Marquand Park Foundation is a Category 1 Arboretum, registered with the Morton Arboretum in Chicago. A landscape historian, Flemer is especially aware of the park’s value. “I see this little pocket of a historic landscape with 20-something trees left from the 1840s,” she said. “It also provides space in town that is accessible to everybody.

I like seeing people biking through, strolling casually on Sundays, and, especially, children. So there are all kinds of uses, passive and active.”

People usually become acquainted with the park when their children are toddlers and they bring them to the sandbox. “That’s the tradition we are continuing,” Flemer said, “engaging children in messy play.”

We Need People with Fresh Perspectives, New Skill Sets to Fill Board’s Open Seats

To the Editor: November 6 is a watershed moment for the Princeton Board of Education (BOE). It is clear that we need people with fresh perspectives and new skill sets to fill the three open seats.

One of many challenges is that the facilities originally planned by the BOE, the $130 million referendum, carried with them operating costs that exceeded our ability to pay. Costs that would have taken us beyond the revenue we are allowed to raise under the 2 percent state cap. In another words — we have just pulled back from the brink.

The referendum is only a vote on the costs to be borrowed via bonds. The referendum does NOT cover associated operating costs. Our current operating levy is $76 million. Under the 2 percent cap set by state statute for operating expenses, the Princeton School District is only allowed an increase of $1.5 million for next year, and yet, using Superintendent Cochrane’s own numbers, $1.9 million would have been required to cover operating costs for projects that would have been authorized by the full referendum, putting us $400,000 into the red immediately, And since, with regular growth in operating costs, we have been absorbing each year the maximum allowable levy increase. If the referendum projects were on-line now, we would be running a $1.9 million levy deficit.

In my opinion, immediate action is needed to get the school budget under control.

In announcing that there will be just one referendum question for critical projects on the December 11 ballot, President Pat Sullivan also said that the School District would support the creation of stakeholder groups (made up of users — faculty, students, and residents), which would start a true public participation process in future referendums. In my view, we shouldn’t wait. Stakeholder groups should be set up now to begin reviewing the details of the referendum projects now being proposed.

It is also very important to set up focused citizen advisory committees of relevant experts for each component of the referendum. These committees should be made up of residents with relevant technical expertise in security, HVAC, classroom design (for PHS), and athletic fields.

These advisory committees, in my view, should be set up to develop overall design and operational goals for each component of the referendum: looking at feasibility,

sustainability, quality, and cost effectiveness. From this there should emerge a “building program,” a narrative that describes each project and becomes the basis for the detailed design. This has not been done.

In considering security, goals might be to maintain a sense of transparency and openness, integrating these designs as seamlessly as possible into our existing buildings.

Similarly, it is important to evaluate alternative HVAC systems, including solar and geothermal systems, so that we can choose the most sustainable and cost effective systems. We also need to consider other alternatives, such as adding small additions to existing elementary schools vs. considering a new 5/6 school. One advantage of the small additions approach is that if additions in enrollment don’t materialize as projected, you can adjust the timing and sizes of the small additions you construct.

Finally, I want to see some administrative solutions, particularly for PHS — things that are pretty easy to do, and pretty inexpensive — two sittings for the cafeteria, a portable café that could be set up at strategic locations, opening skylights that have been shut, adding murals and LED lighting in hallways that are dim.

Urging Neighbors to Vote for McDonald For a Seat on the Board of Education

To the Editor: We are writing to urge our neighbors to vote for Brian McDonald for a seat on the Board of Education on November 6 (ballot position #5). We have worked with Brian for 13 years, both professionally and as volunteers, and know him to be a strong collaborator and consensus builder with the analytical acumen and temperament to successfully get things done. He is the only challenger with relevant professional credentials and proven service to our community. His demonstrated commitment to education and youth development is unparalleled.

Brian is the only candidate with both finance and professional facilities planning experience. Having served as vice president for development at Princeton University, Brian was a member of the President’s Cabinet and University Facilities Planning Group, where he helped to oversee large-scale construction and maintenance projects. He understands how facilities planning should be done, and is well-positioned to help guide the BoE to work more col-

laboratively with our community to address the needs of our schools. He is respectful, thoughtful, a proven leader and good neighbor.

Furthermore, Brian is the only candidate with relevant public service, including serving seven years on the town’s Citizen Finance Advisory Committee, where he helped keep property taxes stable while recommending cost-saving measures.

Brian has served on the boards of McCarter Theatre (including 14 years on its Finance Committee and five years as board president), Sustainable Princeton, and The Watershed Institute. His expertise in board governance and strategic financial oversight is in high demand, and he has served as a consultant to many local and regional nonprofit organizations.

Finally, as a PPS parent of three children and active community volunteer and youth sports coach, Brian has long been a staunch advocate for student wellness and equitable opportunities for all children. We are fortunate that Brian McDonald has the desire to serve our community as a member of the BOE, and we urge our community to vote for him on November 6.

Writing In Support of Mary Clurman’s Candidacy for the School Board

To the Editor: I write in support of Mary Clurman’s candidacy for the School Board. Mary is patient, thoughtful, and persistent in her ongoing quest to be certain that all voices are heard on the most important issues facing our town. How we pay and support the education of the next generation is now on our minds. How we can afford to pay more in our property tax is also on our minds. Mary understands that we need to listen to each other very, very carefully. She has been diligent and fair-minded in this debate and is deserving of your vote.

Why Were Old Parking Meters Removed Before New Ones Were Ready To Install?

To the Editor: Around October 12, all parking meters were removed in Princeton. Since that time there has been free parking for everyone every day. During this period, the amount of money that has been lost to Princeton government coffers is substantial. Why were the old parking meters removed before the new ones were ready to be installed?

Brainstorming Fear on the 200th Anniversary of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”

W

ith the fear-is-fun holiday loomi n g, B ob Wo o d w a r d ’s Fe a r : Trump in the White House is a runaway best-seller while Republican midterm candidates are running on fear and dread.

“No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear,” according to Edmund Burke (1729-1797), quoted in Princeton professor Susan Wolfson’s Cultural Edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. After referring to “popular tales” concerning “ghosts and goblins,” Burke cites those “despotic governments, which are founded on the passions of men, and principally on the passion of fear.”

Hitchcock Goes “Boo!” One of Halloween’s patron saints, Alfred Hitchcock locates the connection between fun and fear in the moment a mother goes “boo!” to her baby, who responds by giggling in delight. I grew up laughing at exponents of funny fear like Bob Hope in the Road movies and Lou Costello scared speechless stammering “A-AA-Abbott!” and holding to his derby for dear life as a monster appears, unseen by his sneeringly dismissive partner Bud Abbott.

I wasn’t laughing t he night my mother acted scary. I was five or six at the time. Suddenly she wasn’t my mother any more, the loved and trusted known had become the fearsome unknown, her face distorted, her eyes wild, her voice horrifically distorted.

As soon as she saw my reaction, she tried to give me a hug, making cooing sounds meant to console me, but I flinched away. Some years later I lost a steady job as a babysitter after making up a bedtime story for a child who until then had felt safe and secure with me. Like my mother, I got carried away. I improvised, added some eerie flourishes, and assumed a sinister voice. When I saw the terror in his eyes, I tried to smooth it over, make it funny. The parents never asked me back.

The Power of Fear When Horatio describes the apparition of Hamlet’s father in terms of the “fear-suprised eyes” of the two watchmen who were “distilled /Almost to jelly with the act of fear,” he’s setting the stage for the moment the ghost tells Hamlet “I could a tale unfold whose lightest word / Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, /Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,/Thy knotted and combined locks to part/And each particular hair to stand on end/Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.”

One of the most notorious tellers of harrowing tales was Edgar Allan Poe. Writing about “The House of Usher,” D.H. Lawrence says of Roderick Usher, he “has lost his self, his living soul, and become a sensitized instrument of the external influences; his nerves are verily like an aeolian harp which must vibrate. He lives in some struggle with the grim phantasm, Fear.” Lawrence goes on to invoke the ground zero of horror: “All this underground vault business in Poe only symbolizes that which takes place beneath the consciousness....

Beneath, there is [the] awful murderous extremity of burying alive.”

“A Thrill of Fear” In Mary Shelley’s introduction to the 1831 edition of Frankenstein, she describes a conception founded on fear and prompted by her part in a storytelling competition with Shel-

would frighten a reader as she herself had been frightened that night?

“Swift as light and as cheering was the idea that broke in upon me. ‘I have found it! What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.’ “ Screaming Frenzy As much as Shelley’s Frankenstein has charmed, excited, and fascinated me, it’s never had the chilling effect of certain films. In fact, her reference to “the thing” standing by the bedside brings to mind Howard Hawks and Christian Nyby’s The Thing (1951), which roused the audience to such screaming frenzy that the projectionist in my hometown theatre actually had to stop the film. Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho turned day to night for me, making my afternoon stroll back to a London B&B as fearsome

ley, Byron, and Byron’s doctor John Polidori. Her story “would speak to the mysterious fears of our nature, and awaken thrilling horror -- one to make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart.”

In bed after a night during which she had been “a devout but nearly silent listener” to Byron and Shelley’s discussion of galvanism and the possibility that “the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth,” she saw “with shut eyes, but acute mental vision ... the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together.”

The idea “so possessed my mind, that a thrill of fear ran through me.” What if she could contrive a stor y that

as a midnight walk on a fog-shrouded moor. Discussing the film with François Truffaut, Hitchcock says, ‘I don’t care about the subject-matter; I don’t care about the acting; but I do care about the photography and the sound-track and all the technical ingredients that made the audience scream. I feel it’s tremendously satisfying for us to be able to use the cinematic art to achieve something of a mass emotion.”

Politics and “Psycho” The most truly fearful thing about Woodward’s Fear, from what I’ve read of it, isn’t so much the impression of an administration in chaos as the way the narrative lays out the sequence of events that culminated, incredibly, in the horror of November 8, 2016. It’s like a bloodless political

variation on the masterfully crafted sequence of events in Psycho leading the unsuspecting woman played by Janet Leigh to her doom in that shower at the Bates Motel. Reading Fear is like reliving the 2016 campaign, from the nightmare of the convention to Access Hollywood to the stalker debate to Comey’s October surprise, while Clinton drives unsuspectingly along what seems to be the highway to victory unaware of the dark forces converging to destroy her.

Now here we go again down the dark road into the season of dread looking for faint gleams of hopeful light through the rainy film noir night, a prospect Edmund Burke seems to intimate with his vision of fear as “an apprehenson of pain or death” operating “in a manner that resembles actual pain.” One big difference is that Burke’s despotic governments “keep their chief as much as may be from the public eye,” since to “make anything very terrible, obscurity seems in general to be necessary.”

Tr y keeping this commander in chief from the public eye. Back when Trump was nominated, then-Senator Harry Reid dubbed him the GOP’s Fra n kens tei n. O f cou r s e he w as thinking of Hollywood’s rampaging monster, not Mary Shelley’s well-read and well-spoken Creature.

Frankentalk In the Contexts section of Wolfson’s edition of Frankenstein that includes the quotes from Burke, she offers “Frankentalk: Frankenstein in the Popular Press of Today.” Among numerous examples of the way the novel continues to haunt contemporary media is Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter’s reference to how the press has become conditioned to playing “character cop,” in which he imagines “the hulking character issue” turning into “the Frankenstein monster of American presidential politics. And just as in the movie, the monster eventually turns on its creator — in this case, the press.” That’s from an ar ticle dated 19 October 1987.

Frankenread Alert rinceton’s par t in the Frankenstein bicentennial, which is being supervised by Susan Wolfson, will be marked with a marathon community reading of the novel in the Chancellor Green rotunda beginning begin on Halloween night, Wednesday, October 31 at 6:30 p.m. and continuing on November 1 and 2. Some 65 readers will participate.

The event is free and open to all; refreshments will be served.

Books McPhee Appears With Former Students Tonight

*** VOTE IN ***

Freeholder Candidates: *Cynthia *Mary R. *Michael Larsen* Walker* Silvestri*

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and longtime Princeton resident John McPhee will be hosting former students Kushanava Choudhury and Elisabeth Cohen tonight, Wednesday, October 24 at 6 p.m. The event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council Kushanava Choudhury will talk about The Epic City: The World on the Streets of Calcutta and Elisabeth Cohen will discuss The Glitch: a Novel.

According to the New York Times Book Review, Choudhury’s Epic City is “passionate and pugnacious,” revealing “a man head over heels in love with a badly behaved but alluring metropolis.”

Writing in the Washington Post, Lincee Ray says “The Glitch takes a hard look at the definition of work-life balance. Through hilarious antics and sensational story lines, Elisabeth Cohen encourages readers to slow down, take a breath and consider the perspective of a younger you. Would that person think you are living your best life?”

John McPhee is professor of journalism at Princeton University and has been

a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1965. He has written nearly 30 books, including and the Pulitzer Prize winner Annals of the Former World. His most recent books are Draft No. 4 and, published next month, The Patch. Kushanava Choudhury writes for the Statesman, Calcutta’s leading English newspaper. Elisabeth Cohen’s work has appeared in Conjunctions, The Mississippi Review, The Cincinnati Review, McSweeney’s Online, and The Millions.

Plainsboro Public Library Hosts Sarada Chiruvolu

Princeton writer Sarada Chiruvolu will be at the Plainsboro Public Library on October 27, at 1 p.m. to discuss and sign copies of her recent book, Home at Last: A Journey Toward Higher Consciousness.

About 20 years ago, Chiruvolu left a pharmaceutical career in order to pursue a spiritual calling. Part memoir and part meditation guide, the book describes her meeting with southern Indian guru Amma Karunamayi, who was visiting New Jersey on a tour of America.

The author now travels widely to speak about her experience, and to provide detailed information on the roles of diet, exercise, and mental discipline in preparation for the journey which she describes in Home at Last. The book will be for

Prix Goncourt Winner Reading at Labyrinth

Library Live at Labyrinth presents Eric Vuillard reading from his book The Order of the Day on Saturday, October 27 at 4 p.m.

Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library host the winner of France’s highest honor, the 2017 Prix Goncourt. According to the New Yorker, The Order of the Day “captures the bizarre blend of wishful thinking, clownish self-importance, and cold calculation that characterized many of the Nazis’ powerful enablers.”

A review in The Wall Street Journal finds the book “Gripping…a tour de force…this unusual work… peel[s] away the veils of dissimulation, disguise, and self-justification that conspire to make historical disasters appear as just the way things happen.”

Eric Vuillard is a French writer and film director.

His films are L’homme qui march and Mateo Falcone.

His previous book is Conquistadors, which won the Prix de l’inapercu.

P rofiles i n e ducation Profiles in Education: Kirsten Bertone — First-Graders, Yoga, and Making Connections First-graders, yoga, connecting with others, and helping them — these have been the core elements in Kirsten Bertone’s life over the past 17 years.

A first-grade teacher at Riverside Elementary since 2 0 01, B e r to n e h a d n o doubts about the career she wanted to pursue. She’s following in the footsteps of her mother.

“Since I was a child, I’ve always wanted to teach,” she said. “My mother was a teacher, very well respected.

She worked in inner cities, and the children were her life. She did a lot to help them — in school and out of school. In addition to the academic, she also helped them with whatever was going on emotionally for them and their parents. I was inspired by her.”

About 18 years ago, while Bertone was still in college, her mother became ill with cancer, and Bertone made a decision that brought her to Riverside and set her on her current life path.

“I wanted to follow my mother’s path and work with inner city students,” she said. “I actually thought I would work in Trenton, but life circumstances, my mother’s illness, and the need to be close to her — I chose this job because it was close to her and I could take care of her.”

Choosing to be where she could give her mother the care she needed “just

seemed like the right thing to do,” Bertone explained.

“I wanted to preserve her integrity and let her stay home and not go into a nursing home. So I went there morning and night to assist her so she didn’t always have strangers in the house.”

Two of Bertone’s professors at R ider Universit y had children who had gone to Riverside. They urged her to apply there and to meet Bill Cirullo, the Riverside principal at the time.

“Princeton wasn’t even on my radar,” she said. But on the recommendations of her professors, Cirullo invited her in for an interview, said he needed someone with a strong personality for a first- grade position, and she started at Riverside in the fall of 2001.

“A lot of things just happened based on fate,” Bertone said. “This was presented to me more than me seeking it out.”

First Grade With the first-graders at Riverside, Bertone is clearly in her element. “I think it’s a very important year, and I feel very special to work with them at this age.

They’re very funny, so I’m always smiling. No matter what circumstances I’m in in my life, it’s always a pleasure to come here and work with the kids. It’s a gift.”

Undaunted by the challenges posed by working every day with a large group of 6-year-olds, Bertone de-

s cr ibed, “Teach ing f irst grade is difficult. You have to get them from zero to 60 in one year. You have to be able to get them reading and writing. Everything gets done in first grade.”

And for Bertone the affective, emotional education is never separate from the cognitive. “It’s so important getting children to see themselves as learners and risk takers, getting them into the mindset of learning from their mistakes and realizing that there’s something to be learned from mistakes,” she emphasized. “All these things we instill in young minds in first grade.”

Yoga, For All The death of her mother in 2003 opened a new phase in Bertone’s life. “It brought me to yoga,” she said. “I’d been doing it, but I really dove deep into yoga and meditation at that time, just to help process the sadness and grief.” And it was not long before Bertone decided to share the rewards of yoga, first with her colleagues, then with her students.

“For some time I did yoga after school with the teachers, then a few years ago the black box theater here opened, so I was given the opportunity to bring yoga to the children.”

A parent, who thought all children should benefit as her son had benefited from doing yoga, donated 40 yoga mats, which Bertone still uses with her students.

She described the scene when they go to the black box theater for yoga. “They really enjoy it. We turn the lights down and turn the room different colors. It might be blue for the winter solstice or red for heartopening yoga practice around Valentine’s Day. They feel it’s very mystical.

So they go in and relax and go into their breath work.

They lie down in shavasana, which is the relaxation at the end of yoga. They take it very seriously. They almost transform when they walk into that room, and they become more calm, more in tune with what’s going on.”

She continued, “They’re listening. They’re following.

They’re all in this rhythm together, and they take it very seriously, and over time I see their balance improve and their confidence grow as they do it.”

Bertone went on to mention long-term benefits of yoga training that her firstgrade students can hold onto, after they’ve moved on from her class. “It gives them a point of understanding,” she said. “When things get difficult, they can draw back into their breath to calm themselves down. They can find that pause, that calmness within themselves. They can take a moment before speaking. It teaches them skills to settle themselves.”

The academic demands for first grade are significant and obviously a priority, but Bertone also believes strongly in the value of physical education, “and beyond the physical, I think it’s important that children are seen in different lights. Some see themselves as readers, some are really

good in math, and some are physically strong. I encourage taking risks in different areas, so I have dance in the classroom and yoga in addition to the academic, so everyone’s trying things that may be out of their comfort zone.”

She added, “It builds a stronger sense of community, trust, risk taking, and just overall acceptance of what we can and can’t do.”

Bertone does not have a typical 9-5 work day. Every day before school, at 5:30 in the morning, after school at 5 or 6 in the evening, and on Sunday mornings, she teaches classes at Yoga Soul and Princeton Fitness & Wellness. “I’ve always been active,” she understated. “If I have nothing to do, I don’t know what to do.”

Jetta Hall Fund In addition to her focus on the first-graders and her infusion of yoga into the Riverside community, Bertone also is in charge of The Jetta Hall Fund (JHF), which assists Riverside children and their families who are experiencing economic difficulty. Established in 1992 and named after a secretary who served Riverside for many years, JHF provides funds to support students for field trips, special activities, clothing or equipment needed for particular activities, and special exigencies during the holiday season.

“It’s just sort of a cushion,” Bertone said. “When we can do something, we try our best to bring equity into the school and to the families that need a hand.”

Confidentiality is a priority, Bertone noted, and inquiries about the Fund should be di-

rected to the Riverside principal, Mark Shelley, at (609) 806-4260. Contributions to JHF, in general or in specific recognition of a teacher, can be made through the Riverside PTO. Bertone’s commitment to JHF is of a piece with her commitment to her students and her community. Shelley described her as “an excellent teacher who understands pedagogy and always helps her students grow academically, but even more importantly she demonstrates an exceptional ethic of care for all of her students as learners and as people. Her concern for all children is clearly evident in her devotion to The Jetta Hall Fund as a vehicle for helping families in the community.”

Bertone highlighted the values that help to shape her life. “I love working with children, and I love teaching. Making a difference in the lives of others is important. It’s important to see the whole child and get to know the families, hear their stories, not just working methodically but feeling that authentic connection with people. Some of the connections I build with families through Jetta Hall are very meaningful to me.

It’s personal. We’re meeting people eye to eye and seeing what’s best for them and their kids.”

She summed up her work and life at Riverside. “We care for the whole child here,” she said. “That’s been our philosophy all along. All that I do here fits into this sense of family that Riverside has always encompassed.”

“THE HANGING BRIDGE ON THE BOUNDARIES OF HIDA AND ETCHŪ PROVINCES”: This woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), ca. 1834, is featured in “Picturing Place in Japan,” an exhibition of nearly 40 paintings, prints, books, and photographs from the 16th through the 21st centuries on display at the Princeton University Art Museum through February 24.

“Picturing Place in Japan” turing Place in Japan” will be on view exclusively at the at PU Art Museum

T he repre s entat ion of place has been a dominant subject of Japanese painting throughout history. Sometimes these scenes evoke the topography of an actual location, but often the place depicted was imagined or based primarily on past images. Featuring a number of significant loans from the Gitter-Yelen Collection of Dr. Kurt A. Gitter and Alice Yelen Gitter, along with past Museum acquisitions from that collection and works drawn from the holdings of the Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton’s Marquand Library and East Asian Library, and the Gest Collection, “Picturing Place in Japan” takes viewers on a journey through space and time.

The exhibition includes nearly 40 paintings, prints, books and photographs, from the 16th through the 21st centuries, that collectively explore the varied meaning of place to Japanese artistic practice over these epochs. For Japanese artists, pictures of place were a means of exploring brushwork and form, as well as evoking poetry, paradise, distant China, sacred locations and the familiar or remote famous places of Japan.

Organized by Andrew M. Watsky, Professor of Japanese Art and Archaeology, and Caitlin Karyadi, doctoral candidate at Princeton University, in collaboration with Cary Liu, Nancy and Peter Lee Curator of Asian Art at the Art Museum, “Pic-

Princeton University Art Museum through February 24, 2019. “’Picturing Place’ affords audiences the opportunity to engage with one of the most central traditions within the history of Japanese art,” said James Steward, Nancy A . Nasher – Dav id J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. “The exhibition showcases great works from the Gitter-Yelen Collection and demonstrates the growth of Princeton’s own holdings of Japanese art, while also acting as an interesting companion to our path-breaking fall exhibition ‘Nature’s Nation: American Art and Environment,’ which offers an expansive new vision of American art history through an environmental lens.”

“Picturing Place” is divided into three sections: “Imagined Places,” w it h p a i n t i n g s of i m a g i n a r y sites, including dramatic landscapes that show off virtuoso brushwork and that were often based on pictorial precedents painted in styles associated with China; “Famous Places,” which includes paintings and woodblock prints of Japan’s renowned Mount Fuji as well as other celebrated locales; and “Sacred Places,” featuring images of temples and shrines. This section concludes with photographs of the Fukushima earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster site, a new geography of place in Japan affording special meanings and connotations.

Beginning November 3, the James A. Michener Art Museum will present “Leslie Pontz: Integration,” an exhibition that showcases the fiber sculptures of awardwinning artist Leslie Pontz, whose work has been collected and exhibited by museums, galleries, and institutions across the country.

A hands-on exhibition that encourages interaction from visitors, “Integration” considers topics such as community, conflict, and growth by applying the vocabulary of textiles to materials not commonly associated with the medium. The exhibition will be on view to the public through February 17, 2019.

“The word ‘integration’ has a lot of different meanings,” said Pontz. “It is ideas coming together, materials coming together, and the viewer being integrated into the understanding of the piece. What I bring to the piece and where it comes from within me is one thing, but the viewer has a whole different set of ideas, an entirely different background.

They integrate their ideas and inter pretations into what I have created.”

“Integration” offers museum visitors the unique experience of interacting directly with the exhibition. Pieces can be moved, rearranged, and handled, allowing visitors to literally shape Pontz’s work according to their own interpretations.

“Visitors will be able to move themselves in and around some of the pieces and, in a way, become a part of the exhibition,” said Pontz. “I’m hoping they get excited about touching the materials, about creating something out of their own sensibilities.”

The sculptures are created by crocheting monofilament and cotton. Small amounts of iron and other fiber elements are also included. The result is a non-traditional fiber sculpture that, said Pontz, is intended to challenge the senses and the mind.

The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine St., Doylestown, Pa. It is open Tuesday through

26 through November 4 at Visual Stream Gallery Collective, 7 North Main Street, Lambertville. The exhibit is timed for the Halloween season, but each artist interprets the word “spirited” individually.

Policing the Past: The CIA and the Landscape of Secrecy Since the creation of the CIA, its history has constituted something of a battleground. This lecture will explore the CIA and its relationship to history, the media, and the secret state, a journey that has involved both cooperation and extreme skepticism. It will argue that historians have a crucial role to play not only in the curating of national memory but also in mediating between the public and the more shadowy parts of government.

“Poems of Color” At Artists’ Gallery

Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville presents “Poems of Color,” on display November 8 through December 2. This exhibit by Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta looks at poetry from a visual perspective, with the two artists using shapes and colors instead of words to create visual poems. They introduce images that evoke creative interpretations not only by the artist, but by the viewer as well. An opening reception is Saturday, November 10, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Coffee and conversation will be held on the last day of the show, December 2, from 2 to 5 p.m.

Jane Adriance’s “Watercolor Poems” tend towards “POEMS OF COLOR”: Jane Adriance’s “Coolscape,” above, and Debbie Pisacreta’s “Where the implied meaning with the World Stands Still,” below, are featured in “Poems of Color,” their joint exhibit at Artists’ intent to go beyond what Gallery in Lambertville running November 8 through December 2. An opening reception is Sat- we are likely to see in everyday life. Sometimes the urday, November 10 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. perspectives are expressions that are startling and contradictory. However, color and dynamic compositions exist in harmony. As a result, a color poem is created that invites a dialogue between the viewer and this painter.

D ebbie P is acre t a’s oi l painted landscapes use color to create mood and atmosphere. Like a Haiku poem, she simplifies the landscape to convey the essence of her emotional connection to the scene. Her goal as a plein air painter is to capture the feeling of a particular place and time.

This past summer, Princeton Junior School Curiosity Campers ages 2 to 5 observed the life cycle of butterflies. Specifically studying Andy Warhol’s “Butterflies 1955” and “Flowers 1964,” the young artists then sketched the varied phases of the life cycle and painted, cut-out, and invisibly strung their winged creations, now on view through November 21 at 1 Preservation Place, Princeton.

Princeton University Orchestra Opens Season with Substantial Symphonic Works

T

pealing to hear, but this performance gave the audience an opportunity to closely observe and listen to an instrument often in the back of the orchestra.

Nineteenth-century French composer Hector Berlioz revolutionized symphonic music, but in a different way than his predecessor Beethoven. Berlioz’s musical imagination stretched form and orchestration to the outermost limits, and no work of his was more evident of this than the 1830 Symphonie fantastique: An Episode in the Life of an Artist, in Five Parts. A cornerstone work of the Romantic era, this programmatic symphony was described by Leonard Bernstein as “the first musical expedition into psychedelia.”

Although framed in a somewhat classical symphonic structure, Symphonie fantastique conveyed several episodes in the life of an artist (often considered Berlioz himself) through explorations of unusual instrumentation and ground-breaking compositional devices. Berlioz maintained so much control over the work that audiences in his time were given program notes written by the composer to explain the piece as it went along.

Princeton University Orchestra opened the five-movement work with light winds and strings, as Ochs set the scene with delicately-tapered phrases. Key to this work is Berlioz’s “idée fixe” — a musical representation of the “ideal being” with whom the artist was in love. This theme first appeared in the violins, and recurred throughout the symphony from different instruments. Despite the despair portrayed in the work’s story, Ochs brought out joy in the music, aided by elegant wind solos from oboist Christine Kwon, English horn player Camille Liotine, and flutists Nicholas Ioffreda and Haeley Ahn. The third movement duet between offstage oboe Kwon and onstage English horn Liotine was especially graceful in conveying an alpine atmosphere. The performance was also well-marked by crisp horns and klezmer-like clarinets as the storyline turned more grotesque in the artist’s dreams. Not everyone can turn their nightmares into symphonic works, but Berlioz created a piece which has stood the test of time as one of the most demanding. he University Orchestra has a number of challenging projects this year, including a winter tour to Spain and a multi-faceted collaboration with conducting wunderkind Gustavo Dudamel. This past weekend’s concerts proved the Orchestra to be in solid form for the beginning of an exciting and motivating season.

EVENT

he Princeton University Orchestra, never an ensemble to sneak quietly into the concert season, announced its arrival in the new academic year this past weekend with flair and a strong musical statement. In concerts presented Saturday night and Sunday afternoon at Richardson Auditorium, the Orchestra joined the ongoing tribute celebration to American composer Leonard Bernstein, and also started the year off with one of the most challenging works of the Romantic symphonic repertory. Conducted by Ruth Ochs (filling in this past weekend for Orchestra Music Director Michael Pratt), the University Orchestra showed itself more than up to its demanding season ahead.

Leonard Bernstein’s ballet Fancy Free was the predecessor to the composer’s blockbuster On the Town — both collaborations with choreographer Jerome Robbins. The five-movement “Suite” from Fancy Free captured the ballet plot in abbreviated form, as well as Bernstein’s fusion of multiple American musical styles. In Saturday night’s performance, Ochs kept Bernstein’s music crisp and saucy, aided by precise rhythms from the strings and piano (with keyboardist Seho Young entertainingly looking the 1940s part in straw hat and tuxedo). Three trombones well punctuated the sound, while a pair of clarinets served as a bridge between scenes in the “Suite.” Bernstein’s orchestration often placed instruments in pairs, with well-tuned intervals from the University Orchestra players, and a bit of slide between notes from strings and brass recreated well the storyline’s bar atmosphere. Ochs also brought out the lushness of the music in later sections, contrasted with pairs of violas and trumpets, and an effective flute/piccolo combination.

Emmanuel Séjourné’s Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra was composed in two stages over eight years. The original 2007 commission resulted in two movements, and in 2015, Séjourné was commissioned by the premiering marimba player for a third movement to complete the work. The marimba is an unusual instrument in itself for concerto treatment, and contrasting it with a relatively small string ensemble created two distinct musical palettes. Soloist Henry Peters, a junior at Princeton University, certainly had his following in the hall, as Ochs began the piece with decisive string playing contrasted with a free-flowing marimba solo line. Séjourné’s Concerto is Romantic in style, and Peters had no trouble playing with both force and delicacy. In a second movement cadenza, Peters definitively proved that just as much dexterity is required as the mallets glide across the keys of the marimba as with virtuosic runs on the piano. Not only was this Concerto ap-

Iraq War Drama Recounts Army Chaplain’s Real-Life Ordeal

S

oon after completing his seminary studies, Darren Turner (Justin Breuning) was commissioned as an Army chaplain. He was assigned to Georgia’s Fort Stewart, but received orders to ship out to Iraq before he and his family even had a chance to get settled.

Still, Darren and his wife, Heather (Sarah Drew), took the deployment in stride, relying heavily on their faith that he would return safely and have no trouble making the adjustment back to civilian life. This, despite evidence that neighbors like spouse-abusing Michael Lewis (Jason George) had been left severely damaged psychologically by tours of duty overseas.

So, Darren bids Heather and their three young children goodbye, oblivious of the toll that serving during the 2007 troop surge might take. Stationed at a forward operating base outside Baghdad, he would experience many horrors of the war: sniper fire, ambushes, improvised explosive devices, rocket-propelled grenades, and mortar attacks.

While Darren was spared physical injury, numerous soldiers that he ministered to were wounded or killed during the intense campaign. Against his better judgment, he routinely hid all the gruesome details of what he was witnessing from his family.

Consequently, Heather came to feel that Darren was no

The Happy Prince

longer connecting with her and the kids. And those suspicions were only confirmed when he arrived home after a year on the front lines. Jumpy and paranoid, the once doting husband and father was now angry, distant, and mean.

Her patience wearing thin, Heather tells her husband he needs help. Ultimately, she kicks him out of the house, though praying for forgiveness for “judging something I don’t understand myself.”

Thus unfolds Indivisible, a faith-based docudrama recounting the real-life ordeal of Darren Turner. Co-written and directed

by David G. Evans (The Grace Card), the compassionate biopic convincingly conveys the idea that a non-combatant like a chaplain might very well suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

What sets this film apart from most Christian-oriented fare is that its characters are more complex than those simplistically-drawn individuals typically served up by relatively heavyhanded morality plays.

Excellent (HHH½). Rated PG-13 for violence and mature themes. Running time: 119 minutes. Production Studio: Reserve Entertainment/WTA/Graceworks Pictures. Studio: Pure Flix / Provident Films.

ersatility. Wearability.

Sustainability!

These images all describe the special selection at Orvana London, the new women’s boutique at 12 Chambers Street.

Just opened the end of September, it is already attracting scores of customers who appreciate the unique styles and quality handwoven fabrics that are Orvana London’s specialty.

IT’S NEW To Us

Featuring the designs of founder Alka Mattoo, Orvana London has opened to rave reviews, and even in such a short time regular customers are returning, hoping to discover yet another superb example of Mattoo’s design skill and the quality fabrics.

“I knew Alka as a friend, and I always liked what she was wearing. I really admired her style,” reports a Princeton resident and enthusiastic customer. “One time, I asked her, ‘where do you get these wonderful clothes?’ And then I found out they were her own designs.”

Silk and Cashmere Born in the Kashmir region of India, Mattoo was interested in fabrics, especially their texture and color, from an early age. Kashmir is particularly known for its cashmere wool and pashmina shawls.

“My mother and grandmother collected fabrics, es-

pecially silk and cashmere, with the idea of passing them down as heirlooms,” explains Mattoo. “Some had the most skillful, beautiful hand embroidery. And there were incredibly vivid colors. These fabrics were so beautiful they could really be in a museum. They are similar to pieces hanging in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.”

Inspired by these fabrics and her own creativity and imagination, Mattoo was determined to explore the world of fashion.

“This really surprised my family,” she reports. “They were engineers and doctors, and they were amazed when I decided to go into fashion. My mother thought I meant to be a model!”

But Mattoo’s interest was directed more to design, and after earning a diploma in design at the Pearl Academy in New Delhi, she enrolled in New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. Her focus was on combining high quality artisanal textiles with contemporary Western design.

After working in New York’s garment district and as a fashion merchandiser for the Theory label, she moved to Denmark and then England.

Design Vision She established Orvana London, her design studio, in London in 2009. Her collections were available at Harrods, London’s famous department store, and she also developed a luxury scarf collection for designer Diane von Furstenberg.

The name “Orvana” was inspired both by her vision for her designs and the sound of the name. “I created the name Orvana, thinking of it as a reminder of ‘nirvana,’” she explains. “The main thing about it is the sound of the word and what it conveys.” Nirvana, of course, is an idyllic state of perfect happiness.

Mattoo had a distinct vision for her designs. As she points out, “I wanted to consistently create beautiful products that reach people worldwide, and preserve the value of handmade textiles, while keeping practices ethical and sustainable.

“Orvana aims to provide vibrant and soulful designs made with the finest textile craftsmanship to evoke inspiration for people to connect to their own style.”

Returning to the U.S. in 2017, she moved to Princeton, and opened a pop-up in Palmer Square last summer. It was so successful that when space became available on Chambers Street, she was excited to find a permanent setting for her designs.

She was also very definite about how she wished to present that setting to customers.

“I wanted the shop to be uncrowded, have a nice sense of space, and to reflect an experience of calm. I very much enjoyed creating this space, and sharing it with everyone who comes in. Also, you get energy and a certain environment from being in a store that you can’t get with online shopping.”

Wonderful Collection Not only will customers find this serenity, they will also find a wonderful collection of caftans, wrap and jumper-style dresses, tunics, tops, scarves, and shawls. All are Mattoo’s designs, as is a selection of jewelry, including bracelets and necklaces in striking styles. In addition, many of the silver pieces are crafted by the artisans of the Zuni reservation in New Mexico.

Most of the clothing is unsized, and nearly all the fabrics are from India, although Mattoo is also now including designs from the American Southwest and Native Americans, with representations from the Navajo Arts and Crafts and artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe.

Orvana’s designs are graceful and flowing, displaying both style and comfort. Silk, cashmere, linen, and cotton are emphasized, and there are also items from yak and sheep wool. They feature a mix of color combinations, from muted earth tones to vibrant brilliance. Wide stripes and eye-catching prints offer choices for every taste, and it is really difficult to decide on a favorite to take to the fitting room.

With a bow to her Princeton headquarters, Mattoo has designed a special orange and black silk scarf with tiger motif. Its appeal to Princeton alums returning for football games and reunions will no doubt prove irresistible.

Another specialty is the collection of one-of-a-kind, traditional pure cotton comforters in gorgeous colors and designs, handcrafted and handprinted by artisans in western India. Guaranteed to keep you warm this winter!

Orvana London, Unique Women’s Boutique, Offers Array of Original Designs and Styles

CREATIVE DESIGN: “I look forward to sharing my designs with the customers. I believe my designs are a way to connect with people.” Alka Mattoo, designer and founder of Orvana London, the new women’s boutique on Chambers Street, is shown wearing her own designs: a handwoven kimono-inspired caftan and handwoven shawl of yak and sheep-blended wool.

Customers are all ages, notes Mattoo, and she is eager for them to find their own style at Orvana.

Self-Expression “I think my customers will be anyone who appreciates fine textiles,” she explains. “I believe customers coming in know what they like and know their own style. They will be comfortable in our store.”

What she also seeks to do is to offer them an opportunity for self-expression and to establish a connection.

“Don’t we all want to have self-expression? This is, after all, another way to connect with someone. And I think Orvana is trying to connect everything together. We are all connected. It’s like the thread that binds us — from the artisan through my designs to the

customer.”

Mattoo feels that Princeton is the perfect location for her designs and her shop. “I am so encouraged. It has been a wonderful experience. Everyone has been so friendly, including all the other businesses and neighbors. I look forward to meeting even more people and introducing them to our styles and fabrics” She adds that the designs will change seasonally, and customers will always find something new. A grand opening celebration is planned in the near future. rvana London is open Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday noon to 5 p.m. (609) 436-7129. Website: www.orvana.co.uk.

Looking to Build on Last Year’s ECACH Title Run, PU Men’s Hockey Has Talent in Place for Big Winter

While the Princeton University men’s hockey team achieved some dramatic victories over Top 20 teams on the way to winning the ECAC Hockey tournament last winter, it is a loss that is driving the squad coming into the 2018-19 campaign.

“We have always started each year looking back on our last game and we try to build from there,” said Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty, who guided the Tigers to a 19-13-4 record last winter.

“We have done it the first four years and this year, we are building from our loss against Ohio State (4-2 in the opening round of the NCAA tournament) and how can we change and give ourselves a better opportunity to win that kind of game.”

With Princeton picked second in the ECACH preseason media and coaches polls and currently ranked No. 13 nationally, Fogarty is not buying into the hype as the Tigers prepare to open their season by playing at No. 10 Penn State (4-0-0) on October 26.

“Being second or first or 12th is irrelevant; it is played on the ice, not from predictions,” said Fogarty.

“We have seen what happens when we do things the right way; we give ourselves an opportunity to win.”

The team’s top line of senior stars Max Veronneau (17 goals, 38 assists in 2017-18), Ryan Kuffner (29 goals, 23 assists), and Alex Riche (6 goals, 18 assists) gives Princeton the chance to win every night.

“Max and Ryan look leaner, stronger and Alex looks great as well,” said Fogarty.

“We have a top returning line that gives you the opportunity to create offense every time they are on the ice.”

Junior Jackson Cressey (13 goals, 25 assists) has emerged an offensive force despite being under the radar “Cressey has always been the quiet piece to our offense,” said Fogarty, who is planning to use freshmen Christian O’Neill and Corey Andonovski on a line with Cressey and sees an increased role for junior Jeremy Germain (1 goal, 3 assists)and junior Liam Grande (3 goals, 5 assists). “He has averaged a point a game through his career; if that is quiet I will take that. We may shake the lines around a little bit.”

Senior star defenseman Josh Teves produces a slew of points in addition to patrolling things on the blue line.

“When you have a player like Josh Teves (7 goals, 26

assists) playing defense with his leadership and his solid play, the three newcomers (Mike Ufberg, Sami Pharaon, and Matt Kellenberger) on the point can see what we are looking for when they see Josh on practice,” said Fogarty, who also brings back junior Derek Topatigh (2 goals, 8 assists) and sophomore Reid Yochim (4 goals, 10 assists) in his defensive corps.

“We are young on the back end but we have skill and we have skaters, so that is going to help us immediately.

Three of the eight haven’t played a game so until they get into the season and get some game sense, it is still an unknown. We believe from what we saw in their years as juniors and so far in practice, they will work out very well.”

The return of star sophomore goalie Ryan Ferland (2.91 goals against average, .912 save percentage in 2017-18) along with senior Austin Shaw gives Princeton known quantities between the pipes.

“Ferland comes back with experience and with Austin as a senior, we have two guys who know what it takes to win,” said Fogarty.

“Ferland looks really solid in practice. He had a great stretch after Christmas last season. He is a winner. He

PRINCETON ACADEMYof the

won in prep school. He didn’t play a lot of games in junior hockey but he led us to an ECAC championship last year and was the MVP at Lake Placid.”

The Tigers look solid all around as they have gone through their preseason practices.

“It is just trying to get better and getting the first year players up to speed to what we are looking for with our style of play and then making sure the returning guys get the rust off really quick,” said Fogarty. “It has been uptempo practices.

Throughout forward, defense, and goalie, I really like where we are at.”

Facing former Princeton coach Guy Gadowsky and his uptempo Nittany Lions in the opener figures to be a big test for Princeton.

“We want to get off to a good start at Penn State and give ourselves an opportunity to win,” said Fogarty.

“They are going to be up to game speed a little quicker than we are. We have to utilize practice against ourselves more effectively to prepare for that quicker first period we are going to see against Penn State.

They have a lot of speed and they are great in transition; we do counter those things very well. Before we would be a great underdog playing against them; now it is more of a balanced game and it is who executes better.”

With its balance all over

MAXING OUT: Princeton University men’s hockey player Max Veronneau heads up the ice in game last winter. Senior forward Veronneau, who scored 55 points on 17 goals and 38 assists last winter to help Princeton win the ECAC Hockey tournament, will be looking for a big final campaign this winter.

No. 13 Princeton opens its 2018-19 campaign by playing at No. 10 Penn State (4-0-0) on October 26.

“It is up to the players, it comes down to that,” said Fogarty. “You assess what you have; the commitment and dedication from the players will get them to realize and achieve the goals for the season. You can want to win it as a staff, but ultimately, it is up to the players on how far they want to go.”

Fogarty senses that his

players possess that kind of commitment. “It has always been a determined group in the four years that we have been here; the guys work extremely hard,” said Fogarty.

“They are very dedicated, on and off the ice. It is the small things that go unnoticed as a fan that gives you the opportunity to win as a team. Those are the finer details that we are addressing right now.”

Even though his Princeton University football team had cruised to a 5-0 record, outscoring its foes 260-43 in the process, Bob Surace sensed that his squad was in for a dogfight when it faced a 3-2 Harvard team last Saturday.

“They are really good, they lost to Rhode Island (23-16 on September 28), who had been top 15 nationally ranked team; it was a back-and-for th game,” said Princeton head coach Surace.

“They lost to Cornell (2824 on October 6) where they made a lot of special team errors but offensively and defensively, they showed how talented they were. We knew going into it that it was going to be to be like the double or triple overtime games we have had with them in the past.”

Sure enough, Princeton found itself clinging to a 10-7 lead at halftime before a crowd of 10,876 at Harvard Stadium.

Getting some help from injured defensive lineman Kurt Holuba, Surace fired up his troops at the break.

“As I was walking in, I wrote down ‘this is going to be a fight, this is awesome,’” said Surace.

“Kurt goes in and says ‘this is great, we are in a fight.’ That is the message I was considering. The guys were so excited. This is what college football is about; they work so hard and sacrifice so much that more games are going to be like this than they are going 4810 games.”

The Tigers had to work hard in the second half to pull out a 29-21 win, holding off a late Crimson charge after jumping ahead 22-7 with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

The return of injured quarterback John Lovett, who

missed the Brown game a week earlier, made a big difference for Princeton, which is now 6-0 overall and 3-0 Ivy League.

“He just plays with such energy and the guys around him just respond so well,” said Surace of Lovett, who passed for 207 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 45 yards and another TD. “It was a game where they did a good job getting four-man pressure on us and forced him to make a lot of really good decisions under duress. His leadership, experience and all of those things really showed.

He didn’t force things, especially when we went through three or four drives in a row where we punted, which hadn’t happened this year.

It showed his maturity as a quarterback.”

Even though Lovett’s heroics helped Princeton build that 22-7 cushion with 4:49 left in regulation, Surace knew that the game was far from over.

“There is enough time and drives left,” said Surace, reflecting on a frenetic finish which saw Harvard come up with a 29-yard touchdown pass to cut the Princeton lead to 22-14 and then connect on a 32-yard scoring strike with 48 seconds remaining after the Tigers had built their lead back up to 29-14 “We didn’t handle the end of the game situations as well as I would have liked defensively and that is on me. We are a little young on the back end.”

While there were some defensive lapses in the waning moments, junior safety T.J. Floyd, sophomore linebacker Jeremiah Tyler, and senior linebacker Tom Johnson made a number of big plays in the day.

“T.J. had an intercep tion and a fumble recovery; Jeremiah made a stop on fourth down,” said Surace.

Ice Cream On Palmer Square • 9 Hulfish St. • To 11pm

“Tommy was his typical self, he was all over the field (with a team-high 10 tackles).”

Princeton needed those heroics as the Crimson ran the ball effectively, gaining 152 yards on the ground.

“They have a lot of weapons offensively and a tough scheme to go up against,” said Surace.

“The running back (Aaron Shampklin - 123 yards on 22 carries) really did a great job with his tempo and in the first half We struggled a little bit with him. I thought in the second half, we were better with our responsibilities and tackled better. He is one of the best we have had to go up against in my time here. He really made it challenging.”

Princeton senior running back Charlie Volker rose to the challenge himself, scoring on a 49-yard run to give the Tigers a 29-14 lead with 2:10 remaining and gaining 94 yards on the game.

“They are a tough defense to run on; they have been that way historically,” said Surace. “It was a lot of three and four yard runs against their front seven. We were able to get a couple of bigger runs as the game went on; the holes were not very big.”

The Tigers took a big step in pulling out the nail-biter after enjoying five straight blow-outs to start the season.

“We will take it any way we can get it,” said Surace.

“We have played them nine times since I have been here and this game was more characteristic. It was just an exciting slugfest, really similar to to two years ago when they beat us in overtime. It was back and forth and you are on the edge of your seat.”

Surace is expecting another another slugfest when Princeton, now ranked 17th the the FCS Coaches Poll, hosts Cornell (3-3 overall, 2-1 Ivy) this Saturday.

“They are so physical and well coached,” said Surace of the Big Red, who edged the Tigers 29-28 last fall.

“If we can’t get stops on defense, they are going to run the clock out and we are not going to get a whole lot of possessions. We are going to have to be up to the task and get them off the field as much as we can.”

PU Football Holds Off Feisty Harvard, Pulling Out 29-21 Win, Moving to 6-0

Paniagua has developed a comfort level on the field as a sophomore, having tallied three goals and an assist so far this fall.

“As a freshman, it is hard to get to get that confidence because you are just looking to get some playing time,” said Paniagua, a 5’11, 175-pound native of Miami, Fla. “I got adjusted to the Ivy League pretty quickly last year. This year, the goal is not only to win an Ivy championship, but to put away four, five goals this season and be one of the leaders on the team.”

Showing that leadership, Paniagua tallied a key second half goal in a pivotal 2-0 win over Brown on October 6.

“We hadn’t beaten Brown in four years,” said Paniagua. “After that win, everyone got in their minds, ‘oh, we knew were good enough to win the league, but now it is the real deal.’ We are here to win it.”

Princeton head coach Jim Barlow credited Paniagua’s good anticipation with leading to the first goal against Harvard.

“The first goal was opportunistic on Gaby’s part to read it and get behind the line,” said Barlow. “He arranged his feet in a good way and that made a big difference.”

B arlow l i ke d t h e w ay Princeton seized opportunity in pulling away from the Crimson.

“We were up 2-0 against Columbia at halftime last week; we let them get back in the game and they scored,” said Barlow, reflecting on his team’s 2-1 win over the Lions on October 13. “We talked at halftime about getting the third goal, pressing and not sitting back and our guys did that.”

Blessed with depth this fall, Barlow was able to get a lot of guys in the game.

“We were trying to make a lot of changes; everyone who came in did a pretty good job,” said Barlow.

With Pr inceton hav ing gone 4-0-2 in its last six games, Barlow believes his squad is headed in the right direction.

“We have always though that this group had a ton of potential,” said Barlow.

“We just needed some time to figure out how we were going to play and have an identity. Fortunately, we got some close wins which helped with our confidence.”

The Tigers are girding for another close game as they head to Cornell (10-3 overall, 3-1 Ivy) for a first-place showdown this Saturday.

“Now we have the challenge of dealing with midterm week to get ready for Cornell,” said Barlow. “That is a big challenge and hopefully our guys are ready for it.”

Paniagua, for his part, believes the Tigers are ready for a title drive. “We have a good group of guys here to hopefully make a run for the championship,” said Paniagua.

“Cornell just has one loss, they are right behind us. If we can come out hard and get a result there, I think there is nothing stopping us from winning an Ivy League championship.”

In late September, the Princeton Day School field hockey team fell 3-0 at Lawrenceville.

When the local rivals met again last Saturday evening in the Mercer County Tournament title game, PDS was determined to turn the tables on the powerhouse Big Red, who had won six of the last seven county crowns coming into the contest.

“We know that they have two girls, both the Megs [ Barnes and Hillman ] on their team, who like to play with the ball a lot and that is usually who they get the ball to,” said junior star defender Caroline Haggerty.

“We were trying to block them up.”

Haggerty and the Panthers blocked the Big Red most of the evening, holding the fort as Lawrenceville generated a slew of penalty corners but failed to score.

“We are always strong on defensive corners, and we were today,” said Haggerty.

“They had so many but they could not score on a single one, so I think we were pretty successful there.”

With teams locked in a scoreless stalemate, Lawrenceville cashed in a disputed penalty stroke call as Audrey lazar scored with 1:10 remaining in regulation to help the Big Red pull out a 1-0 win and leave the Panthers heartbroken.

“We don’t agree with the stroke call, in our minds it was a 0-0 game,” said Haggerty of the defeat, which moved the Panthers to 10-4.

“It is one of the best games we have played all season.”

While Haggerty was disappointed by the outcome, she was proud of PDS’ run to the title game.

“It is so great to be able to have such a competitive game, to be able to get farther than we did last year and to show we can be that good of a team,” said Haggerty, noting that the Panthers were eliminated in the MCT quarterfinals in 2017.

Haggerty has shown this fall that she can be a force on the back line for the Panthers.

“I have had to step up a bit more this year, we have to change a formation; we now have a 3-2-3-2 so Maddie [Izzard] and me in the back have to work off each other,” said Haggerty. “A lot of times it comes down to us. I have been working on getting lower myself.”

PDS head coach Heather Farlow liked the work she got from her players in the battle with the Big Red. “We showed that we can compete w it h t hem and that we earned the right to be here,” said Farlow. “We played hard; it was back and forth. I think our defensive corner unit and defensive unit played phenomenally well.”

Farlow credited Haggerty with spearheading the defensive unit. “Caroline was phenomenal; she decided that she wanted to get there and she wanted to win,” said Farlow. “She just was all heart and grit. She really just toughed it out.”

Having the game decided by a stroke was a heartbreaking way for the Panthers to go down.

“To make that call with a

minute and 10 seconds left; it is a critical call and it is a tough way to lose a game,” said Farlow.

“It is disappointing to play hard that entire game and then have that happen at the end.”

Farlow liked the toughness her players displayed in advancing to the MCT final for the second time in three years.

“It is huge ; one of our goals was to get back to the Mercer Count y final because we wanted to play Lawrenceville again,” said Farlow. “We thought we could give them the toughest game out of anybody in the county.”

With PDS competing in the state Prep B tournament, where they are seeded

second and host third-seeded Morristown-Beard in the semis on October 24 with the victor advancing to the title game on October 28, Farlow believes the disappointment from Saturday will fuel her players.

“I think it strengthens our resolve, we have to play Mo Beard on Wednesday,” said Farlow.

“Depending on how things play out between Stuart and Montclair Kimberley Academy in the other semi, we may have to go up there.”

Haggerty, for her part, is confident that the Panthers will show plenty of resolve as they go after the Prep B title.

“None of us want to have this feeling again; we don’t want to lose again,” said Haggerty. “We want to win.”

—Bill Alden

LINE OF FIRE: Princeton Day School field hockey player Caroline Haggerty goes after the ball in a game earlier this season.

Last Saturday, junior star Haggerty helped spearhead a terrific defensive effort as third-seeded PDS fell 1-0 to top-seeded Lawrenceville in the Mercer County Tournament championship game. The Panthers, now 10-4, will be competing in the state Prep B tournament where they are seeded second and host third-seeded Morristown-Beard in the semis on October 24 with the victor advancing to the title game on October 28.

Freshman Allen’s Scoring, Radvany’s Playmaking Helped Spark PDS Field Hockey to MCT Final For Val Radvany, helping the Princeton Day School field hockey team return to the Mercer County Tournament final was a key goal in her final campaign with the program.

After getting an assist to help third-seeded PDS upend second-seeded and previously undefeated Princeton High 3-0 in the MCT semis last Thursday, a smiling Radvany reflected on the team’s achievement.

“Last year was disappointing, so this year it is our senior year and we wanted to, put our best foot forward, said Radvany, referring to a loss in the MCT quarters last year after a run to the 2016 county final.“We wanted to end on a good note. We have so many young players on this team and I am so proud of all they can do.”

One of those younger players, freshman Lyla Allen, provided some offensive punch to help spark the PDS run scoring three goals in an 8-0 win over WW/P-South in the opening round, two goals in a 6-0 win over Hopewell Valley in the quarters and then adding a goal in the win over PHS. “I have definitely come to understand the game more and everybody is always helping me out,” said Allen.

Allen looks up to Radvany and her two fellow seniors, Gwen Allen (no relation to Lyla) and Sasha Sindhwani.

The seniors are like family to me, big sisters, and i just love hanging out with them,” said Allen, whose twin sister, Emily, also stars for the Panthers. “Their supporting us really means a lot. All of the seniors were just hyping everyone up for this. It is just good to have role models.”

Radvany has willingly taken on a playmaking role this fall, passing for three assists in both the MCT opening round and quarterfinal wins.

“I try not to hold onto the ball too long,” said Radvany, who has committed to attend Michigan State and play for its field hockey program. “I try to make the best passes I can.”

Serving as team captain along with her two classmates, Radvany has tried her best to guide the team’s younger players.

“It has been really good,” said Radvany. “They are a great group of freshmen and a great group of sophomores.

It is really fun, they are really great to lead.”

Allen credits that leadership with helping the Panthers get in synch on the field.

“We have grown a lot and we have really gotten to know each other and that has helped us a lot,” said Allen. “We have gotten to know how we play.”

Even though PDS ended up falling 1-0 to top-seeded and

perennial county champion Lawrenceville in the title game on Saturday, that can’t take away from Radvany’s positive experience “We are really connected, nobody is selfish,” said Radvany, who will be going for another title as the Panthers compete in the state Prep B tournament where they are seeded second and host thirdseed Morristown-Beard in the semis on October 24 with the victor advancing to the title game on October 28.

“We are all looking for the best pass. We all just want to win as team and we all love each other.”

PHS Boys’ Cross Country Takes 4th at Counties As Senior Zullo Enjoys Special Performance Tucker Zullo had a simple race plan as he toed the starting line for Princeton High boys’ cross country team at the Mercer County championship meet last Friday.

“It was r u n hard, r u n fast,” said senior star Zullo.

“I knew that Jackson [McCarthy] and I wanted to be together the whole race.”

Zullo executed that plan he took fifth, clocking a t i m e of 16 :12 over t he 5,000-meter in Washington Crossing Park with classmate McCarthy just behind in sixth at 16:14 helping PHS take fourth in the team standings of the meet won

by WW/P-South.

“As a senior coming in the top 5 in the county in one of the toughest counties in the east coast, I am really happy right now” said a grinning Zullo.

“It was awesome. I was shooting for 16 flat so I am happy with that time. I have no complaints.”

As a freshman, Zullo had no idea that he could ever produce that kind of performance.

“I had no motive of running in high school and then I met with coach [Jim] Smirk my spring track season,” said Zullo.

“I fell in love with what his vision was for the program and ever since then, it had

been cross country, winter track, and spring track.”

Last fall, Zullo started to realize Smirk’s vision. “My junior year was a breakthrough, I got so much confidence,” said Zullo “It was at sectionals; I ran 16:18 and I was our fourth man for that day and that pushed me over the top. I was feeling great then and I am just trying to keep that success rolling through senior year.”

The influence of former PHS star and current Penn s ophomore r u n ner A lex Roth has been a key factor in his success.

life in college and my life in high school,” said Zullo.

“He has been one of my best friends for years now and I have learned so much from him the last two years.

I am going to keep it going.”

PHS junior Tyler Fu, who took 36th at the country meet with a time of 17:27, has learned a lot from running behind Zullo and McCarthy.

“As long as I had my eyes on Jackson and Tucker, I felt confident and I was in the right state of mind,” said Fu “I am the kind of runner who feels a lot better in a race. I tend to feel pretty nauseous before a race but once I am in it and once the adrenaline gets going, I start to feel a lot better.”

Fu had to draw on some extra adrenaline to make it to the finish, as he hurt his ankle in the latter stages of the race.

“I had to pull myself together and I am not going to stop here,” said Fu. “I decided that even though my good race went out the window, that doesn’t mean that all of my races have to go out the window.

I just collected myself again and then just tried to finish it as best I could.”

In Fu’s view, he has a lot of good racing ahead. “I see myself progressively getting better in terms of my times and my place,” said Fu. “I have been bouncing ideas off my teammates and it is just about getting a lot of feedback and passing it around and learning how to fine-tune myself into the best runner I can be.”

PHS head coach Jim Smirk wasn’t surprised to see Zullo and McCar thy placed together in the front of the pack.

“They have been training together consistently for two years now, there is a lot of trust there with those guys,” said Smirk.

“I thought they executed really well. I was pleased that Tucker recognized that the race went out slow and knew it was going to get real fast in the second half.

He prepared himself mentally for that moment and absolutely took advantage of it.”

Smirk was pleased with how McCarthy stayed in the moment last Friday.

“He had a couple of races where he slipped focus wise,” said Smirk. “To his credit, he is a really strong athlete, not just a great runner, and he was able to make those adjustments.

The kids from south really came after him late, in terms of their one-two going after Jackson. He was able to really focus on being successful in that moment and that is a tough thing.”

Fu’s toughness this fall has impressed Smirk. “As a staff and as a team, we are thrilled with the emergence of Tyler Fu,” added Smirk.

“He has been strong, aggressive, and fast. He is doing all of the right things and we are glad that he is making that step forward.”

Sophomore Jacob Bornstein, who took 39th in 17:29, has emerged as a steadying influence for the Little Tigers.

“He just settles us down,

it is amazing that a kid who is a sophomore can contribute that way and really quiet down the nerves and just do good, hard work,” said Smirk.

“He is not necessarily the fastest kid out there, but he gives good, hard work the entire time and as a result, we are a better team for it.”

With the state sectional meet slated for November 3 at T hompson Park in Jamesburg, Smirk is confident that his team will run hard.

“Maybe we are not the fastest on paper, but when you get shoved around a little bit, we are the ones that tend to stay in there and make sure that we stick it,” said Smirk.

In Smirk’s view, Zullo’s progress epitom izes t he squad’s mentality.

“Tucker wants to show people that if you work hard and you focus on the things that are important and you do them to the best of your ability you have the opportunity to be as successful as you want to be,” said Smirk.

“That is what we see out of him day in, day out. He is a blast to work with as an athlete.”

Zullo, for his part, is looking for a successful finish this fall.

“It is all just stay focused on the goal and make sure that when it comes to November, I am ready to go,” said Zullo.

“I feel like I have done a good job. There has been no tapering;we have just kept going 60 miles a week.

I am feeling good.”

Rolling to a 14-0 record as it advanced to the Mercer County Tournament semis, the Princeton High field hockey team had enjoyed a smooth ride this fall.

But as second-seeded PHS faced third-seeded Princeton Day School last Thursday evening in the semis at Lawrence High, it ran into some turbulence, falling behind 1-0 to its crosstown rival five minutes into the contest.

“We didn’t start out as intense as we needed,” said PHS head coach Heather Serverson.

While the Little Tigers displayed intensity in the

second half, making a number of counterattacks, they failed to break through as PDS pulled away to a 3-0 victory.

“We just couldn’t seem to find the net, we weren’t connecting well,” lamented Ser verson, ref lecting on the setback. “We were just giving the ball back to the other team a lot. There were a lot of turnovers. At this point of the season, it is the team that makes the fewest mistakes who wins, and we made more.”

PHS kept pressing forward to the final whistle despite being down by three goals.

“I am very proud of that,”

said Serverson. “That is something we have worked on; being resilient, tough, and hanging in there.”

With the Lit tle Tigers starting play in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional this week where they are seeded first, Serverson.

“It showed us some of our weak spots,” said Serverson, whose team hosts eighth-seeded Monroe in a sectional quarterfinal contest on October 26.

“They are a quality team; playing a team like that is definitely going to help us improve and make us better.

We learned things all over the field from them that we are going to take moving forward. We will not make those same mistakes again.”

ing a time of 19:00 over the 5,000-meter course with Hun School freshman Charlotte Bednar placing first in 18:20.

“I was super happy with my time, that was a PR for me,” said Moran, whose stellar performance helped PHS to take third in the team standings behind champion WW/ P-South and runner-up Allentown. “My PR before that was 19:40. I was not expecting to be anywhere near that time.”

Chasing the fleet Bednar helped Moran produce her superb time. “The last two races I ran, I ended up leading them,” said Moran.

“The last race I was at here, I was leading. I expected to do the same thing and then Charlotte was running ahead of me the entire time. After a while I realized that, it wasn’t my pacing being off but this girl is really fast.”

Having transferred to PHS in 2017 from the American School in London, Moran took a while to get up to speed.

“I am a fairly new runner; my competition in London was definitely not as intense as it is here,” said Moran.

“When I came here, I remember the first month of practice, I was super out of breath. I couldn’t keep up with anyone. I was just not used to the rigor of this program, but my running has dramatically improved since I first arrived here.”

PHS head coach Jim Smirk is thrilled with the improvement he is seeing in Moran.

“Siena was fantastic; I thought she ran really effectively, “ said Smirk. “She is

still a pretty young runner in cross country, she is still learning. She is making mistakes out there and we will work on those over the next two weeks and get her ready for sectionals. We have an eye on her to see how deep she can go in the postseason.”

Smirk got a fantastic overall effort from his squad in the county meet as sophomore Charlot te Gilmore placed 15th in 20:51 with sophomore Yana Medvedeva coming in 21st in 21:03, junior Erica Oake taking 29th in 21:25, and sophomore Emma Lips finishing 30th in 21:30.

“I am actually thrilled with our girls’ performance. We have been a little inconsistent this year,” said Smirk.

“We have had some good races and we have had some races where we have been really disjointed as a team. Today was our best team effort for sure and it is timely. They have been doing great work.

I believed in our potential to have it but I am not sure I would say today was the day.”

With the state sectional meet slated for November 3 at Thompson Park in Jamesburg, Moran is confident that PHS came produce another big race.

“It is looking pretty good for the team as well; we lost two very good seniors last year and we weren’t really sure where we stood,” said Moran.

“The girls team is fairly new; a lot of them were freshmen last year and I wasn’t here until last year. We are all coming together as a team and really solidifying this year.”

Producing a Stunning Effort at County Meet, Hun Freshman Runner Bednar Wins Girls’ Race Watching the Hun School cross country team train, there is often a tiny blonde girl running at the head of the pack along with the boys.

Possessing a light, bouncy stride, freshman Charlotte Bednar can hold her own

with any runner in the program.

Last Friday, Bednar shot to the front of the pack at the girls’ varsity race at the Mercer County championship meet at Washington Crossing Park and never looked back on the way to taking first.

FRONTRUNNER: Hun School cross country runner Charlotte Bednar displays her form in a recent race. Last Friday, freshman Bednar placed first in the girls’ varsity race at the Mercer County championship meet. Bednar will look for another title as she competes in the state Prep A meet on October 24 at the Blair Academy.

Coming into the meet, Bednar wasn’t quite sure what to expect. “I didn’t have a plan or anything, I just wanted to run; I had never run this course before,” said Bednar, who clocked a time of 18:20 over the 5,000-meter course, 40 seconds better than runnerup Siena Moran of Princeton High. “I wanted to go out a little slower so I would have more energy left.”

As the race unfolded, Bednar realized that she had more than enough energy to beat her competition.

“I felt like I had to get in front right away so I tried to stay with her ( Moran) and I kept going as hard as I could,” said Bednar. “In the middle of the woods, I had some more energy. I knew I could keep a pace that was a little faster so I sped up a little bit and just kept that pace.”

For Bednar, winning the title was a pleasant surprise. “I am really excited because I didn’t know what the competition was going to be like,” said Bednar, who started running in seventh grade and also plays basketball and lacrosse.

Hun head coach Stacy Collingham marvels at Bednar’s competitive mentality and talent.

“She is just goes out and at tacks ever y race ; she continues to break course records,” said Collingham.

“She is consistent in her drive. She starts off strong and she just keeps going, she doesn’t let up.”

Training w ith the Hun boys on a daily basis has helped speed up Bednar’s progress.

“She has been running with our boys,” said Collingham. “We have no girls on our team that are even close; our boys are what is helping her to improve and get better.”

With the state Prep A championship race set for October 24 at Blair Academy, Bednar is looking to continue her rapid rise. “I want to win and get the best time that I can,” said Bednar.

With Junior Angelini Taking Leadership Role, Hun Girls’ Soccer Looking for Strong Finish Nicole Angelini came into this fall prepared to shoulder more responsibility for the Hun School girls’ soccer team.

“After all of the seniors leaving, there was a void and I have been trying to fill it,” said junior midfielder Angelini. “I have been working my hardest to try to be there for the rest of the team.”

Last Wednesday against visiting Oak Knoll, Angelini was there for the Raiders, nailing a penalty kick in the second half as the Raiders drew to within 2-1 with 28:38 remaining in regulation.

“It was 2-0 and we needed a goal to get back into it; I was like I will step up and take it,” said Angelini.

Angelini’s goal gave the Raiders a lift as they generated some more opportuni-

ties but they couldn’t find the back of the net and Oak Knoll responded with two late goals to earn a 4-1 victory.

“We felt we were back in it after the score,” said Angelini. “Then they scored the third goal and we couldn’t come back.”

The Raiders did fight back from a lackluster start after trailing 2-0 at halftime.

“It was pick up the intensity and the work rate,” said Angelini. “We started off pretty slow, that is not like us. In the second second half, we picked it up.”

Hun is looking to pick things up after it beat Hill School (Pa.) 2-0 on October 13 to snap a seven-game losing streak.

“After those losses, we were down a little bit,” said Angelini. “Winning against

HEADS UP: Hun School girls’ soccer player Nicole Angelini heads the ball in a game earlier this fall. Last Thursday, junior midfielder Angelini scored the lone goal for Hun as it fell 4-1 to Oak Knoll. The Raiders, who lost 3-1 to Lawrenceville last Saturday to move to 3-9, will start play in the state Prep A tournament this week where they are seeded sixth and slated to play a first round contest at third-seeded Oak Knoll on October 24.

Hill made us feel we are back in the MA PL ( MidAtlantic Prep League) race.”

Hun head coach Joanna Hallac acknowledged that she came hard on her players at halftime.

“My message was forget the score at this point,” said Hallac. “People have to make an effort and it is like you are walking around out there, and that is just not good enough.”

Hallac liked the energy that Hun displayed after the break but lamented that it was too little, too late.

“To their credit, they responded, but then we had a bad defensive breakdown and we gave up that third goal,” said Hallac.

“We had a couple chances but that has been our season. Other teams have been taking advantage of our mistakes and we can’t seem to take good advantage of their mistakes.”

In Hallac’s view, Angelini has emerged as a good leader for the Raiders.

“Nicole is trying to do a lot herself because she feels like she needs to,” said Hallac.

“It is something I love to see. I want her to take charge out there and be aggressive but her teammates need to help. We need to get everyone working together a little bit more because one person can’t do it alone. The team is only as good as all of its members.”

With Hun heading into the final weeks of the season, Hallac is looking for her squad to be on the same page.

“It is just getting better; we have had a lot of trouble playing as a team,” said Hallac, whose team lost 3-1 to Lawrenceville last Saturday to move to 3-9 and will start play in the state Prep A tournament this week where it is seeded sixth and slated to play a first round contest at third-seeded Oak Knoll on October 24.

“We have had good individual performances but not good team performances. It is really just focusing on how to get the team to play well together on both sides of the ball.”

Angelini, for her part, believes that the Raiders need to bring the intensity from the opening whistle.

“We need to start picking it up and coming out every single game hard and not starting in the second half,” said Angelini.

Obituaries

Harrison Jerome Uhl Jr. Harrison Jerome Uhl Jr., 88, of Princeton, died on October 3, at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center.

Born in Elizabeth, N.J., on November 10, 1929, “Jerry” was the only child of Harrison J. Uhl and Elizabeth Reed Buchanan. He attended The Pingry School and Princeton University, where he graduated in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture.

A f ter g raduat ing f rom Pr inceton, he mar r ied Palmer Beverley of Millwood, Va., whom he had met several years before on a double date in Westport, N.Y. They moved together to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he attended Carnegie Tech and graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1954.

After college, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He attended Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia,

served in the Corps of Engineers, and was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant.

In 1957, he returned to Princeton, N.J., to work for a local architect he had met while attending school. He settled in the Port Mercer neighborhood along t he D&R Canal, where he lived until his death.

In 1962, he became a partner in a new firm named Collins Uhl Hoisington, Architects and Engineers. Early on, the new firm made a name for itself by winning a design competition for the NJ Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, Queens, N.Y. Over the years, the firm grew and by the mid 1970s, it was taking on international projects. Eventually, the name was changed to CUH2A to avoid additional name changes each time partners joined or left the firm. Jerry was the managing partner for a number of years before his retirement at the end of 1987.

Jerry was an outdoorsman, a talented gardener, a builder of homes and chicken coops, and a soulful guitar player. After retirement, he and Palmer spent half of the year in the Adirondacks, in Westport, N.Y. on Lake Champlain, where they enjoyed wonderful friendships, a home on the lake, a big vegetable garden, and an apple and peach orchard.

The other half of the year they would return to Princeton, where he took up wood carving and created a number of beautiful birds.

He is predeceased by his wife, Palmer; and survived by his children, Harrison J.

Uhl III, Palmer B. Uhl, and William B. Uhl; daughter-inlaw, Dorinda Uhl; and by his grandson, William B. Uhl Jr. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, N.J., on November 10th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to The North Country SPCA, PO Box 55, Elizabethtown, N.Y. 12932, or the World Wildlife Fund.

Katharine Bretnall February 5, 1920 – October 5, 2018 K at har i ne Bre t na l l, a longtime resident of Princeton, New Jersey, passed away on October 5, 2018 at Pennswood Village, Newtown, Pennsylvania. She was 98 years old. She was the great-granddaughter of the Reverend George Hale, Pastor of the Pennington, New Jersey Presbyterian Church from 1839 to 1869.

During her nearly halfcent ur y as a P r inceton resident, Kat har ine be came known throughout the community as a tireless and respected journalist chronicling the historic, social, and political events

throughout the Princeton area during her 32 years as a reporter and assistant editor of Town Topics, one of Princeton two weekly newspapers.

She began her career at Town Topics in 1952 writing a column titled It’s New to Us, which surveyed newly arrived merchandise in the stores along Nassau Street. Her role quickly expanded to reporting duties in which she covered events in and around Princeton.

She reg ularly at tended, and reported on, meetings of both the Princeton Borough Council and the Princeton Township Committee (at the time, Princeton was two separate communities), earning the respect of mayors, councilmen, and committeemen for her honest, straightforward, and dispassionate reporting. Many of the government leaders in both communities became her lifelong friends.

She also covered and reported on School Board Meetings and earned the same respect from School Board members that she did from Borough Council and Township Committee.

Her reporting, however, was not limited to governments and school boards.

She repor ted on a wide range of activities throughout the Princeton area, and as a devotee of the theater (she was a passionate fan of S h a ke s p e a r e ) w r ote many Town Topics reviews of productions at McCarter Theater, Theater Intime, and other venues.

She worked closely with the founders of Town Topics, Dan D. Coyle and Donald C. Stuart, rising to the

level of Assistant Editor under Donald Stuart and, following Stuart’s death, Stuart’s son, Donald (Jeb) Stuart, Jr. She retired from Town Topics in 1984, yet her legacy within the community continued. Thirteen years later a longtime resident of Princeton, in a letter to the editor of Town Topics, lauded her for helping to “…establish a standard for reliable, accurate, and interesting reporting.”

Her work as a reporter gave her an intense interest in community affairs to which she devoted much time and energy following her retirement. She served as a Board Member of both the Family Service Agency of Princeton and the Friends of the Princeton Public Library. She served as both Secretary and President of the Mercer Street Friends Center in Trenton and was P r e s i d e nt of P r i n c e to n Community Housing.

In 1993 she received the coveted Gerard B. Lambert Award, the highest honor the United Way – Princeton Area Communities can present to a community volunteer. The Award was established in 1954 to honor Gerard Lambert, a noted benefactor of the Princeton community.

Dur ing her retirement she traveled throughout the world; she was conversant in Spanish and spent a significant portion of her travels in Spanish-speaking countries.

In 1995 she moved to Pennswood Village, a ret ir e m e nt com m u n it y i n Newtown (Bucks County), Pennsylvania not far from Princeton, where she spent

the remainder of her life, all the while maintaining her ties to Princeton friends.

Katharine Bretnall was born in Denver, Colorado, on February 5, 1920, the only child of Joseph and Elizabeth Hale Hanly. Follow ing graduation from Denver’s East High School, she enrolled in New York’s Barnard College, earning her Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1942. She then enrolled in the Columbia University School of Journalism from which she earned her Master of Science Degree in 1943, then worked at the Foreign News Desk of the United Press in New York in 1943 and 1944.

In 1943 she married William (Bill) Bretnall of Brooklyn, New York.

He spent some of his school years with his family in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia, where his father worked for Chicago Bridge and Iron. He attended Harvard and Columbia University, focusing on political science and making many lifelong friends.

In 1959 he married Anne Luning and after the birth of their first child, Joseph Bruns, in 1960, the family moved from New York City to Plainfield, NJ, where their second child, Hal Luning, was born in 1964, before finally settling in Locust, NJ, where Joe served on the vestry of All Saints’ Church. Joe worked at a variety of interesting jobs in New York City, including writing for MD magazine and

Joe was a widely-read student of American and World history, finance, and politics and, after retirement, settled in Princeton, New Jersey where he was an active auditor of courses at the University. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he was a constant presence in the lives of his Princeton grandchildren.

During this time, Peter fulfilled a lifelong dream of obtaining a private pilot’s license and spent many happy hours flying. He also enjoyed boating in the rivers and back bays of NJ with his wife and family. He retired from RCA 1992.

Peter was very active after retirement. He worked as a consultant and was able to have the time to pursue his love of traveling. He and Pat enjoyed many adventurous trips together by boat and rail including several to Alaska, their favorite destination.

Peter will be remembered as a wonderful and caring father, grandfather, friend, traveler, and storyteller.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on October 20 at the Church of St. Ann, 1253 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville. Burial followed in Ewing Church Cemetery, Ewing In lieu of flowers, donations in Peter’s memory to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia would be appreciated, as CHOP held special meaning for him.
